Chapter 280 La Liga is about to change!

On the weekend, in the No.30 round of La Liga, Valencia challenged Athletic Bilbao away.

Due to playing all the games in the Champions League in midweek, Benitez rotated the team.

Valencia drew with Athletic Bilbao [-]-[-] away, and Su Dong did not appear in the squad.

The most interesting game of this round is the national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, Solari scored the first goal for Real Madrid, but Kluivert equalized for Barcelona four minutes later, before Figo was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards.

Xavi scored the winner for Barcelona in the closing stages of the game, receiving a pass from Ronaldinho.

In the end, Barcelona reversed Real Madrid [-]-[-] away.

…………

…………

There was no game on the weekend, and Su Dong was very leisurely watching the live broadcast of the National Derby at home with his personal coaching team.

Agent Mendes also made a special trip to Valencia.

For this game, it can be roughly divided into two parts. Rijkaard replaced the two starters in one go, which was the turning point.

Before the two substitutions in 7 minutes, Real Madrid basically controlled the situation, which proves that the overall strength of the Galacticos is still very strong, especially the frontcourt superstars.

Although Real Madrid's offensive strength and defensive weakness have been criticized, the strength of the superstar is indeed beyond doubt.

Not to mention anything else, Raul, Figo, Zidane, Beckham, these superstars are on the court, which team's defense is not frightened?
Barça is equally terrified.

But the problem with Real Madrid is that after Ronaldo's absence, no one can grasp the opportunities created by Real Madrid.

After conceding the goal, Rijkaard made a rare pair of substitutions, replacing Saviola with Kluivert and Overmars with Luis Enrique.

These two substitutions have a common purpose, which is to liberate Ronaldinho.

Sure enough, with a center forward like Kluivert in front, Ronaldinho's performance immediately improved.

After Barcelona's frontcourt was revitalized, the whole situation was different.

Only 1 minute later, Barcelona equalized the score. Then Figo was too anxious and overacted Puyol. He got a second yellow card and was sent off. Since then, the game has been completely controlled by Barcelona.

……

"Real Madrid is really dead!"

After watching the live broadcast of this game, Mendes sighed with emotion.

Galaxy Battleship, this is definitely the most unforgettable brand in today's world football. It has gathered many superstars, but since the beginning of this season, it has been loved and hated.

I love it because it has too many superstars and can play gorgeous offensive football; I hate it because it always scares people, and people don't know when it will concede, lose, or even fail miserably.

"The superstars are all old. Whether it is from the game or from the media reports, it can be clearly seen that players such as Zidane and Figo are in a much worse state than before, and this situation will continue."

Nuno Cruz is a sports performance analyst, analyzing the performance and physical condition of players, which is what he does best.

"It's really incomprehensible." Su Dong shook his head distressedly. "After six or 10 minutes, Real Madrid felt very strange. They started to play without rules. It didn't matter if there was no threat in front of them. The team had no integrity. Facing Barcelona's successive attacks, they also failed to organize decent interceptions and counterattacks. This is not normal."

This was also Su Dong's biggest question after watching the game.

"If I'm right, they're out of stamina," Nuno Cruz guessed.

"But they didn't play in the middle of the week." This is what puzzled Su Dong.

The middle of the week is the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid has been eliminated by Monaco, where is the game?
It stands to reason that Real Madrid players have no reason to run out of energy after six or 10 minutes of playing once a week, unless...

"There is a problem with their training. Queiroz is estimated to have lost control of the locker room. It is difficult to maintain even normal training, let alone targeted tactical training." Nuno Cruz guessed.

This is undoubtedly the scariest!

A superstar is like a double-edged sword.

With superstars, the strength of a team will be greatly improved, but at the same time it will also bring risks.

Especially when there are more and more superstars, how to coordinate the locker room and how the head coach establishes authority is a very serious problem, because the head coach's control of the team is ultimately a matter of management.

Superstars spend a lot of money to join, compared to what is the head coach?
To fire a head coach?Or sell a superstar?
This does not seem to be a difficult choice!
Su Dong, Mendes and others all looked at each other in blank dismay, a little silent.

This is just a game, even if it is a national derby, it is just a league game.

But the problem is that there are always countless stories behind a game.

Just like any accident in the game, there will be countless inevitability behind it.

"La Liga is going to change!" Mendes realized the problem.

Su Dong also nodded in agreement.

Since the mid-90s of last century, after Real Madrid poached Valdano and Redondo from Tenerife, they returned Barcelona [-]-[-], completely ending Cruyff’s dream team dynasty.

In the past few years under Gasparte's coaching, Barcelona has changed coaches frequently, and their performance has not improved. The team is turbulent and troubled internally and externally.

The most typical example is that Messi's friend Fabregas moved to Arsenal. Iniesta, who is as talented as the first team, almost left the team, and Messi kept thinking about leaving the team on loan.

It is conceivable how bad the atmosphere in the Barcelona team is.

But since the winter break, the situation has changed abruptly.

Rijkaard, who did not dismiss get out of class during the winter break, successfully figured out a set of tactics suitable for Barcelona. In addition to activating a genius like Ronaldinho, the team's defense has also improved a lot.

Winning one game or even three games can be regarded as luck, but it is definitely not accidental that Barcelona won so many games in a row in the second half and remained unbeaten in so many games.

Rijkaard finally straightened out the context of Barcelona's first team, and Barcelona's management also began to straighten out the internal and external factors of the club.

This is the reversal of the National Derby tonight!

If there is no such background, how can a player still have the fighting spirit to reverse when he is behind by one goal?

Barcelona has started to embark on the right path, and the revival is just around the corner. In this case, Real Madrid seems to be a gathering of superstars, but they are beginning to decline rapidly, going downhill, and La Liga will definitely change!
Su Dong thought a lot.

Mendes came to Valencia to watch this game with him, and he knew it in his heart.

And from this game, they all saw a lot of things.

Even, saw the future!

…………

…………

A week later, La Liga ushered in the No.30 five rounds.

With the momentum of reversing Real Madrid's [-]-[-] away game, Barcelona ushered in the same city derby.

After conceding one goal first, Barcelona scored four goals in a row and reversed the Spaniard [-]-[-].

This battle once again shocked the Spanish football!
The two consecutive reversals have shown the unity within Barcelona and the tenacious fighting spirit of the players.

This also proves once again that the away reversal of Real Madrid is not accidental.

……

Valencia hosts Real Betis.

Due to the away game against Monaco in the middle of the week, Benitez made appropriate efforts.

Sudong played for 55 minutes and opened the scoring for the team in No.305 minutes of the first half. After the start of the second half, Baraja made another victory and finally defeated Real Betis [-]-[-] at home.

This is also Sudong's No.30 second La Liga goal this season.

Many media have said that Su Dong's scoring momentum is showing signs of being unstoppable. With only three rounds left in the league, it is not impossible to catch up with or even surpass his idol Ronaldo.

In his debut season in La Liga, Ronaldo scored 34 goals.

……

Real Madrid lost [-]-[-] to Deportivo in the away game after being reversed by Barcelona at home.

I have to say that the Galaxy Battleship was really completely beaten and lost its fighting spirit.

After the game, AS reported that he had received reports from high-level insiders of Real Madrid that Florentino was about to reorganize Real Madrid. This summer, Real Madrid will have several big moves, such as coaching changes.

Florentino wants to replace Queiroz with Mancini, hoping to achieve the same effect as Barcelona's use of Rijkaard.

In terms of players, the Marca newspaper broke the news that Real Madrid will sign in the central defender and midfielder for the first time.

Real Sociedad's Xavi Alonso and Valencia's Baraja are both Real Madrid's targets.

As for the central defender position, Valencia's Ayala, Roma's Samuel, and the Premier League's Woodgate are all Real Madrid's targets, but these players are worth a lot of money, and Florentino is seriously considering them.

Marca also revealed that Real Madrid intends to directly purchase Valencia's central axis, that is, center Su Dong, midfielder Baraja, and center defender Ayala, transplanting this lineup of the Bat Corps, which has performed well this season, to Real Madrid, and strive to complete the reorganization of the team as soon as possible.

But among all kinds of revelations, the only thing is that no one has disclosed, what should the superstars do?
…………

…………

In the middle of the week, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Valencia away to Monaco.

The game was lackluster throughout, with both teams playing conservatively.

Monaco lost [-]-[-] in the away game. In theory, they should be proactive, but after a wave of attempts by the Ligue [-] team, the results were not great. Instead, Valencia kicked out several counterattacks and immediately became conservative.

The Bat Corps also focused on safety, and Su Dong was heavily marked by the opponent, making it difficult to launch an attack.

In the end, the two teams shook hands with a zero-to-zero draw.

……

On the other hand, after Porto drew [-]-[-] at home with Deportivo in the first leg, at the Riazor Stadium, with Deco assisting Delle's goal, Porto defeated Deporti [-]-[-] and advanced to the Champions League final.

As a result, Valencia will face Porto at the Schalke Stadium!
