The strongest winger

Chapter 884

Although Busquets’ ticket seems to be a six-game suspension, the scope of the suspension is not limited to the league, including the two Copa del Rey 1/16 finals at the end of October and mid-November, which means that Barcelona’s concerns have been solved, so they did not continue to appeal. Anyway, Busquets can come back in the No.13 national derby in the league, that’s enough...

In this regard, Real Madrid is very dissatisfied. According to Mourinho's idea, Busquets will be suspended until the national derby and then come back.

Even though he is very dissatisfied, Mourinho has nothing to do. After all, this is the final ticket given by the Spanish Football Association Disciplinary Committee, and there must be a lot of basis, and he cannot rely on public opinion to put pressure on the Spanish Football Association.

At the same time, Mourinho needs to prepare for an away game against Manchester United in the third round of the Champions League group stage. Busquets' suspension can only be left behind. After all, the opponent he is about to face is the most important.

The two focus battles in the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United VS Real Madrid and Inter Milan VS Tottenham, were held on Tuesday night. These two focus battles attracted the attention of the whole of Europe, and the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly Manchester United's home game against Real Madrid of the Galacticos II.

Of course, the focus of this battle is not only the game itself. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford as an enemy can cause huge public opinion. At the same time, Mourinho’s game with the old coach Ferguson after switching to Real Madrid has also become the focus of everyone’s attention. Whether Ferguson, who won the Champions League twice at home, led the team to win the game, or Mourinho, who won the Champions League three times.

Valencia's opponent in this round is the little-known Zilina, which can attract limited attention. Therefore, except for the local and Chinese media in Valencia, almost no one cares about it. The huge contrast is really elusive.

Fortunately, the attention of the Valencia players is on the game schedule. They have won two games in the past and accumulated six points to top the list. As long as they beat Zilina at home and away in the next game, they can basically determine a place for qualifying in the group.

Therefore, the third round of the Champions League group match against Zilina at home is crucial to Valencia!

On the first match day of the third round of the Champions League, the much-anticipated Manchester United lost to Real Madrid 2:3 at home. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in the first half, and scored a goal in the second half, which was the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's away victory.

It is worth mentioning that when Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford, he received warm applause and cheers from the home fans just like Aiello when he returned to Stamford Bridge.

Another focus of the game can be described as ups and downs. In the away game, Tottenham first conceded a goal in the first 2 minutes of the game, and then in the 8th minute the goalkeeper kicked out Inter Milan winger Biabiani. The referee sentenced him to death.

But in the second half of the game, the situation changed suddenly...

Tottenham winger Bell first performed a hat-trick in the second half and tied the score at 4:3 with one less player. If it weren't for the lack of game time, Tottenham's away game comeback is very likely.

So the next day's headlines were either Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice back at Old Trafford, or Gareth Bale, who scored a hat-trick.

Except for reports from local Valencia media and Chinese media, it is really difficult to find news media with Aiello as the headline.

However, there are still some that have been brought along.

※※※

Valencia played against the little-known Zilina at home at 45:5 pm local time in Spain. With Aiello's hat-trick and goals from David Villa and Benatia, they beat their opponents 1-[-] at home.

In the past three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Valencia ranked first in Group F with nine points in all three games. Chelsea ranked second in the group with six points in three games, two wins and one loss. The third place is Sparta Moscow with one point in three games, one draw and two losses. The fourth place is Zilina, which just played against Valencia. They have three games, one draw, two losses and one point.

In other words, as long as Valencia beats Zilina away in the next round, they can qualify for the group two rounds in advance.

Even so, Valencia did not dare to relax too much, because their schedule is quite intensive.

Fortunately, except for Sevilla in the tenth round away game and Real Madrid's league opponents in the No. 14 round away game, it is difficult for other opponents to pose a threat to Valencia.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Valencia has not underestimated its opponents.

在艾洛的带领之下，巴伦西亚在十月底的三场比赛分别在主场3：0拿下马洛卡和4：1击败萨拉戈萨，期间的国王杯1/16决赛也在客场轻松7：0大胜西班牙第三级别联赛球队洛格朗尼斯，值得一提的是17岁小将帕科登场亮相，并攻入一球。

Entering November, Valencia's schedule is relatively sparse, with four league games, two Champions League group matches and a King's Cup 1/16 final second leg match.

If nothing else, Valencia will be doing pretty well in November.

In fact, Valencia led by Aiello only drew away games against Sevilla and Sparta Moscow throughout November, and won all the other five games.

Therefore, after five rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Valencia has four wins and one draw with thirteen points ahead of the group.

Ranked second is Chelsea with two wins, two draws and one loss with eight points. Since the third-ranked Spartak Moscow has only accumulated four points, the second-ranked Chelsea also qualified ahead of schedule.

At the same time, Valencia's performance in the league is also quite astonishing, with 37 wins and one tie, ranking first in the league with [-] points, leading Real Madrid and Barcelona by five and nine points respectively.

However, coach Ancelotti was not happy. The league has just passed 1 rounds, less than 3/[-] of the schedule, and the next round will be a guest at the Bernabéu to challenge Real Madrid. It is still unknown who will win or lose. So Ancelotti put himself into preparations for the national derby next weekend after a big victory over Almeria at home.

But the most concerned thing at this time is not the next round of Real Madrid vs. Valencia at home, but the national derby at Camp Nou in this round-Barcelona VS Real Madrid.

Barcelona had previously lost to the newly promoted Herkus and the league leader Valencia in the second and seventh rounds of the league at home. They were already seven points behind Valencia, the leader of the league, with one game less.

Therefore, before the game, the Barcelona club expressed sufficient confidence in the home league. At the same time, the Catalan media also used the record of the two sides in the Nou Camp in recent seasons as a basis to cheer for the team.

Similarly, as a guest at Camp Nou, Real Madrid showed full confidence from the head coach to the players. They believed that Barcelona’s home performance this season was very bad, and they lost to Hercules and Valencia at home one after another.

In fact, as early as a few rounds ago, Mourinho's work focus was on the away game against Barcelona in this round and the home game against Valencia in the next round. In his mind, other La Liga teams have been unable to shake the status of the Western Super League.

Now that Valencia has defeated Barcelona in the seventh round and scored three points, Real Madrid must take all three points when they visit Camp Nou.

Based on the Tiki-Taka tactics that Chelsea used to restrain Barcelona in the past, Mourinho is going to use a three-back tactic in the Nou Camp league to defeat Barcelona with defensive counterattacks.

After all, young players such as Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Benzema are all very fast. In addition, Ozil, who is full of aura, sits in the midfield and goes through the needle. It is not difficult to score goals in counterattacks. These tactics have also been practiced countless times in training.

But as the saying goes, don't be afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs.

Just one week before the national derby, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola held a press conference, insinuating that Real Madrid would definitely put a bus in front of the goal when they challenged Barcelona at Camp Nou, and 100% dare not play against the great Barcelona in the away game.

When Mourinho learned about it, he laughed at Guardiola's naivety on his social networking site Twitter.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Mourinho was under pressure from the top management of Real Madrid. According to Florentino, if Valencia can defeat Barcelona in an away game, then the noble Real Madrid can also win beautifully.

However, Florentino forgot that he was just a successful businessman, and the combat power measured by money cannot be applied to the competition field...

Under pressure, Mourinho had to choose to compromise and play against Barcelona in the away game according to the meaning of Real Madrid's top management.

But at the same time, he also threw a ruthless sentence to Florentino: "If the confrontation with Barcelona at the Nou Camp does not work, then you are not allowed to interfere with my formation in the future!"
