The strongest winger

Chapter 1107 Earth Defense War

The 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final was a real pinnacle match. Real Madrid was once named the best team of the [-]th century and the team that won the most UEFA Champions Leagues in the past. Valencia is now recognized as the most powerful team in the world. They represent the pinnacle of modern football.

These two teams are super giants, Real Madrid represents the past, while Valencia represents the present.

Especially Valencia, they are considered to be the only team that can tie Real Madrid for the number of Champions League wins, because they have won four Champions League titles in the past, which is the team that has won the most Champions Leagues since the millennium.

In the past few years, under the leadership of captain Aiello, Valencia can really be said to be invincible in football, completely ignoring all opponents, even Barcelona, ​​which is composed of members of Spain's World Cup champion frame, has no way to pose any threat.

So the media gave Valencia a very interesting nickname-Cosmic Team.

In fact, this nickname was spread in the media two years ago. After all, Valencia's strength is unimaginable. It has not lost in the league for three seasons.

With Valencia winning four consecutive La Liga titles and three Champions League titles in three years, and reaching the Champions League final again this season, their 'Cosmos' title should be even stronger.

In addition, Valencia's tactical play is based on Tiki-Taka, and the innovative and stronger tactics are not only gorgeous in play, but also very efficient in scoring.

However, in the research of many football professionals, Valencia's tactics cannot be replicated.

Because the Valencia team has Ai Luo, a super genius who should not exist in real football, that is to say, once Ai Luo's physical fitness and state decline with age, then Valencia's nuclear deterrence will drop to the freezing point in history.

Real Madrid has experienced a coaching change this season. Mourinho, who has contributed a lot to Real Madrid, is dismissed and Benitez takes office.

Although there were some small flaws at the beginning of the league, as the league progressed, the team's running-in became better and better, and the tacit understanding between each other became higher and higher, especially the newly joined Welsh stars Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo improved their status, and Real Madrid entered the Champions League final this season when they were not optimistic.

As we all know, the core of Valencia's tactics is possession of the ball, followed by the use of strong midfield control and creativity to deliver shells to the forward line, and finally the use of captain Aiello's super personal ability to change the situation of the battle.

It is worth mentioning that Benitez, who took over from Mourinho as the coach of Real Madrid, did not take a drastic break for the team as the outside world thought, but paid more attention to the team's defense, especially in the face of Valencia.

His tactical change has made a big change in Real Madrid's match against Valencia this season. Compared with the previous seasons, there are more draws and fewer losses this season.

Although there was no victory in any game, the situation and process have changed a lot, especially in the fast counterattack. The sprint speed of Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo is so hard to guard, so that Valencia has invested more offensive forces in the game against Real Madrid this season.

That's why some media gave this game a gimmick-full title - the Earth Defense War.

Of course, this name was taken out by the media who didn't like Valencia.

Because Valencia has been really successful in the past few years, and success is often followed by a lot of criticism. The monopoly of championships in various competitions has also caused dissatisfaction among many wealthy clubs. It happens that many media have teams and often give subjective comments.

Juan Carlos, a well-known reporter from "Mundo Deportivo" who has always been at odds with Ai Luo, gave Valencia such a resounding headline.

However, what he didn't expect was that this extremely gimmick title would become a source of reference for major media...

※※※

Real Madrid faced Valencia in the entire 2013-2014 season with four draws and two losses. It was the best team in Europe to face Valencia in that season. Even though this report is more to express derogatory meaning, it is undeniable that Real Madrid is currently the most promising team to beat Valencia.

Because after nearly a season of running-in, Benitez's tactics are completely understood by Real Madrid players, and they are more handy to use. As long as Real Madrid is impeccable in defense, when Valencia's offense becomes impetuous, that is their opportunity.

Everyone knows that Valencia's two wings are boldly forward to participate in the attack. As long as they can defend well, then it will be Real Madrid's chance to counterattack.

The sprint speed of Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo is no joke. In the entire European football, their speed is second only to Valencia's captain Aiello.

So 'Battle of the Earth' is very suitable for Real Madrid now.

Of course, if it were placed in the past, Real Madrid would definitely not agree with this title, but now it is not what it used to be. Everyone knows that Valencia is currently the best team in the world.

In other words, when losing becomes a habit, no matter how strong the sense of superiority is, it will be weakened, just like the current Real Madrid fans.

Maybe they have a sense of superiority when facing other teams, but facing Valencia, they don't have the confidence yet...

Therefore, on the day of the game, several hours before the game, there were many Real Madrid fans and neutral fans walking around the Stadium of Light, holding up banners and slogans such as "Defend the Earth", "Defeat the Aliens", and "Guard the Homeland".

It seems to remind everyone that this game is not a pure Champions League final, but more like a game about the honor of the earth.

What's interesting is that in the square outside the stadium, fans supporting Valencia pointedly held up slogans such as 'Dominate the Earth', 'Damn the Guardians', 'We are here to seize control of the Earth' and so on.

It just so happens that the home jerseys of the two teams are all white, and the two targeted banners and slogans seem a bit messy...

However, this does not affect the media to capture the wonderful footage before the game. On the contrary, it also attracts greater attention, just like the gimmick that popped up the day before the game.
