Chapter 411 New Record

The media is very concerned about whether Valencia can break the record. After all, this is considered a major event in La Liga.

However, unlike Valencia's claim to defend its title, most media this time are optimistic that Valencia will break the record.

Because with Valencia's ability, it is difficult to maintain a good state throughout a season and ultimately successfully defend the title. But winning or losing a game is still very easy for them.

Today's Mallorca is no longer the team coached by Aragones that can finish third in the league.

They only ranked 15th in the league last season and were almost relegated.

Even at home, they should not be able to stop Valencia's iron heel.

The media were all optimistic about Valencia, but this incident made Chang Sheng frown.

Because he knew that Mallorca would not be willing to surrender to him like this. He had personally snatched the Mallorca King's Cup championship. They hated themselves for not having enough time. How could they allow themselves to achieve a new La Liga record with them?

At the same time, the unanimous optimism of the media will also create a perception within the team that they underestimate the enemy, which is unacceptable.

Before the game against Mallorca, he reminded his players that they should pay attention to Mallorca's counterattack in the away game and not take it lightly.

"If we are ahead by one goal, don't relax, we must immediately strive to score again and lead by more goals. Only in this way can we completely knock out their fighting spirit!"

"In this game, if I were the head coach of Mallorca, I would definitely use the media's contempt before the game to make a big fuss and boost the team's morale. In this way, if Mallorca is allowed to dominate the game, they will They will speed up the pace of the game, use their bodies to attack us, and bring the game into a chaotic situation. It is easy to deal with them by controlling the football at our feet and passing it back and forth. , cross or pass back, anyway, they are not in a hurry to play the ball forward. Slowly drag them into our rhythm and kill their temper and fighting spirit. Do you know what it feels like to let Mallorca fall into a swamp? In our swamp!"

At the same time, in Mallorca's locker room, their head coach Gregorio Manzano was mobilizing his players.

"For half a week, the media were talking about Valencia's new record and they completely forgot who they were playing against. It's obvious. We were ignored. Lads. The media didn't put us on the map. Pressure, maybe our opponents don't take us seriously either.

They were the champions last season, and they won the championship undefeated... What an amazing result... But praising our opponents is not a reason for us to give up the fight! In this game, we must let those arrogant media see that we in Mallorca are definitely not lambs to be slaughtered, nor are we a tool that our opponents can use to set records! "

Mallorca's players ran out of the locker room in high spirits, preparing for a showdown with Valencia, who had underestimated them.

※※※

But when the game started, Mallorca discovered that the game was not as simple as they imagined.

They think they rely on their passion and high morale. They can definitely give Valencia a head-on blow at home.

So they ran actively from the beginning of the game, looking for opportunities.

They wished they could directly increase the pace of the game and let the entire game take place in this fast-paced confrontation.

But they found the game wasn't going the way they thought it would.

They want to go fast, but they can't get up no matter what.

When their attack ended, the game fell into Valencia's control.

Valencia's players all kept in mind Chang Sheng's instructions before the game, after getting the football. There is no rush to pass the ball forward, just back and forth in the midfield.

When Mallorca faced Valencia's kick in the midfield, their initial reaction was to pounce on them with all their strength, trying to grab the football and directly counterattack.

Two or three times they almost succeeded.

These few times of almost success gave them more confidence and motivation, so they spared no effort to chase the football.

Knowing that they noticed a sharp increase in physical exertion, they still did not win the football.

They feel tired. Then start to calm down and think.

They find themselves transformed into monkeys, being teased by Valencia. It's like grabbing a lap in training.

Then they were unhappy with what Valencia did and they felt insulted. So there were several vicious fouls.

The referee did not deliberately favor Mallorca because they were playing at home. The referee was very conscientious and severely punished Mallorca for intentional fouls.

In the first fifteen minutes, Mallorca received two yellow cards.

Finally, Mallorca became honest.

They found that they had nothing to do against Valencia. When Valencia turned the ball upside down, they couldn't grab it or foul.

The fire in the hearts of the Mallorca players was crumbling in the wind and was about to be extinguished.

So they no longer followed the football. When Valencia fell in the midfield, they began to wait and see more. They just kept the formation stable but did not go up to grab the ball.

The rhythm finally slowed down.

Seeing this scene, Chang Sheng's face showed a winner's smile.

When the game slowed down, the game got into Valencia's orbit.

Mallorca can only be led by Valencia's back-and-forth passing rhythm.

※※※

Manzano was anxious when he saw this scene off the court. Why did he use the media's contempt before the game to stimulate the players' fighting spirit?

It's because he knows the power of Valencia's tactics.

If the game is allowed to enter Valencia's rhythm, then your team will really be unable to save the day.

That's why he wanted to use the players' fighting spirit and anger to attack Valencia, hoping to break the game into a chaotic rhythm. As long as the situation becomes chaotic and Valencia cannot pass the ball smoothly and organize an attack, then Mallorca will have won half the battle.

But I didn't expect that Valencia would behave very calmly in the face of such an impact from Mallorca.

They kept kicking back and forth, but they were not in a hurry to move forward. They seemed not to care whether they scored or not.

But it was this kind of kick that caused the Mallorca players to waste their energy in vain. I also lost my fighting spirit.

He wanted to yell at the players from the sidelines and remind them to keep chasing.

But this approach is of no use at all. Because Mallorca can't get the ball at all!

Valencia's passing is very skillful. They can pass the ball back and forth within fifteen meters with their eyes closed. And the rhythm of their passes is varied.

When Mallorca wasn't pressing, they were slowly controlling the ball and passing the ball, deliberately delaying the game.

And when the Mallorca players were about to rush forward and press. They will accelerate hard. Start passing the ball with one kick and pass the ball directly without stopping. Let Mallorca waste his energy and grab nothing.

Then when Mallorca felt that such a grab was useless and took a moment to take a breath, they began to slowly pass the kick again. Their carefree look made the Mallorca players grit their teeth. .

This kind of kicking would make Mallorca's players lose their minds, so they got two yellow cards.

When players get yellow cards. Manzano opened his hands on the sidelines and protested to the referee. In fact, he knew that his players did not get these two yellow cards unjustly.

He wants the players to be angry, but he doesn't want the anger to burn away their sanity.

But the yellow card extinguished their anger, but also extinguished their fighting spirit.

Manzano frowned, facing this situation, he had nothing to do.

※※※

Valencia is not in a hurry at all. Just controlling the football slowly.

They saw the performance of the Mallorca players.

The admiration for the head coach in my heart is even deeper.

Because Chang Sheng got it right!

Before the end of the first half, Valencia finally scored. After they lost more than ten shots in a row, Mallorca was completely numb by the pass, and they didn't even notice that there was a problem in their own defense.

Deco saw it and sent a through ball. Ibrahimovic suddenly turned around and rushed forward, receiving the football from Deco.

Then the field goal was scored.

1:0! Valencia takes the lead away from home!

This was the only goal in the first half. During the halftime break, Chang Sheng told the players to perform well and continue to play like this in the second half.

Although playing like this is a bit boring, football that can win is good football.

Kill your opponent. That's what Valencia is capable of.

※※※

In the second half, Manzano made an adjustment first and made a substitution.

Obviously, he is not willing to lose this game at home, and he does not want to be a stepping stone to a winning record.

But it really doesn’t mean that he can’t do it just because he doesn’t want to.

Faced with Valencia's ball-control style, Mallorca had nothing to do.

At the start of the second half, they rushed like they had in the first half, and it was clearly during the break that Manzano stirred up their fighting spirit again.

But Valencia has already had countermeasures for this. Just use your kick to deal with it.

Mallorca shrank again.

In the second half, Valencia unknowingly scored another goal against Mallorca. The person who scored the goal this time was Villa, and the person who assisted was Vicente.

The final score was 2:0, Valencia defeated Mallorca away from home.

"The birth of a new record! Valencia has become the team with the most consecutive unbeaten games in the history of La Liga!" When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, commentator Moeen shouted. "Thirty-nine games unbeaten! This is a record that belongs entirely to Valencia! They no longer have to share it with Real Sociedad..."

The Valencia players looked very excited after winning the game, but they were very calm after winning the game.

Facing the reporters who flocked to interview him, he said: "It's just thirty-nine games undefeated, there's nothing to be happy about. From now on, every time we win a game, we are making history, and we will create a legacy for future generations." A record that is not easy to break, at least it won’t be broken in just twenty-two years.”
