Chapter 227: Do you want to make a bet?
Valencia drew Bayern 1-1 away, and both teams scored five points after three rounds. Valencia ranked first in the group with a goal difference, Bayern ranked second, and Wanderers defeated Eindhoven 1-0 away, ranking third in four points, and Eindhoven ranked last with one point.
From this result, nothing surprising. Valencia and Bayern tied, and the two teams still have a very advantageous position in the group, and it is not ruled out that the possibility of both sides retaining their strength.
However, in fact, no one who has watched this game will think so.
Everyone saw Bayern's advantage in the first half, but in the second half, the team that had the entire advantage was Valencia. They performed like a team with super ability in the second half, firmly suppressing Bayern both in the scene and in the result. If Bayern's goalkeeper Kahn had not saved at least three must-scoring goals, the only one who lost in this game would have been Bayern.
"If it weren't for chance, what Valencia's attacker Tiger Lee said before the press conference of this game would be a big talk."
After the game, even when German "Kickers" magazine talked about this game, he couldn't help but sigh that the Germans are still quite rigorous in this regard, at least they will not deny the facts.
Although he only got one draw in Germany, Valencia, who returned to Spain, began to gain great confidence.
This season, they felt the first time they could reach what level they could achieve - playing easily on the court, and strong teams of Bayern level were completely suppressed by them. Even if this state would not come out frequently, it was enough to prove that they already had the ability to win some great honors. The negative factors caused by poor league record were not completely wiped out, but at least they began to regain huge confidence.
After all, Valencia has not won a decent honor for a long time, and her confidence needs to be gradually improved bit by bit. However, if they failed to win in the previous five rounds of the league, no matter how outstanding their performance in the Champions League was, if there was no victory in the league, it would still be considered a mirage.
But at this time, they encountered one of the strongest opponents in La Liga and even Europe, Real Madrid.
Although Real Madrid was suppressed by Barcelona in the past two years and was breathless, their strength was still outstanding. The last season's Champions League semi-finals and last season's Champions League champions must not be underestimated. For Valencia, who is in a bad situation and in urgent need of a victory, it is really not good news to meet Real Madrid at this time.
Before this round of league starts, Real Madrid's league record was two wins and three draws, ranking third in the league with nine points. Behind them are Barcelona, which also has four wins and one loss, and Vallecano, the biggest dark horse of the season. For Real Madrid, who has already tied three games in a row, it is urgent to score three points from Valencia, who is in poor condition.
However, Real Madrid has also suffered from injuries recently. Their midfielder Redondo has missed three rounds due to injury. In these three rounds, Real Madrid has tied all of them, which also lets people know the importance of Redondo to this Real Madrid...
"Redondo cannot play, which is a good opportunity for us. Without him controlling the midfield, Real Madrid will be at least one level worse than usual in the offense and defense of the midfield." Cooper was very satisfied with this situation. In the European Cup qualifiers, Argentina and Brazil played two warm-up matches, and the elites of both sides were all exciting. Argentina defeated Brazil in the first game because Redondo completely frozen Rivaldo in the midfield, which made Argentina win. In the second game, Redondo was absent due to injury. Rivaldo immediately staged a hat trick and killed Argentina 3-1. From this aspect, Redondo's role in a team has reached a point that is absolutely difficult to ignore.
Tiger felt a little disappointed. He had won a championship this season. What he now desires is to fight against those top players, especially those who are at the top of the front and back midfielders in the main god space. Redondo has been at the top of the midfielder for more than a season. Missing this opportunity to fight with him also made Tiger a little unhappy.
"So in this game, our first priority is to control the midfield, suppress Real Madrid in the midfield, and then constantly put pressure to win. Tiger, you can be at the back of this game, base yourself in the midfield, and then start an attack after taking advantage of the midfield. Do you understand?" Cooper turned to Tiger and said.
"I understand." Tiger nodded, with sufficient confidence in this, especially after the last game.
"Other players should also keep up with Tiger's pace like they did in the last game... To be honest, the second half of the last game was simply a pleasure." Cooper smiled slightly and said relaxedly.
Valencia's players nodded one after another. They were all professional players. The smooth state that showed in the last game was exactly the game situation that all professional players dream of - running actively, cooperating tacitly, the entire team's offense was refreshing, and they would not feel too tired after playing the game - this is a feeling of completely controlling the rhythm of the game, which is very mysterious, but there is a real feeling, a standard overall football.
"In tomorrow's game, even at the Bernabeu, we will still strive for victory! We have not been able to win this season in the league, which is a shame! If we win the first victory of the season at the Bernabeu, this shame will be washed away... However, if we still don't win, I don't need to say the consequences." Cooper said at the end.
"Kill Real Madrid!" The players waved their fists and shouted. The two matches between Valencia and Real Madrid were not at a disadvantage last season. Although they lost to their opponents one-3 away, they also beat Real Madrid one-to-one at home. No matter from any perspective, they have no reason to be afraid of Real Madrid.
After the meeting, Tiger and Mendita walked towards their room together. Being able to live in the same room with the captain in the away game has proved the importance of Tiger, and Tiger and Mendita got along quite happily, at least neither of them were petty people.
While watching TV and learning Spanish, while chatting with Mendieta, Tiger's phone suddenly rang.
After picking up the phone and looking at it, Tiger found that it was a somewhat unfamiliar phone number, but it looked native to Spain. Tiger thought about it and then took it.
At first he thought that a reporter got his phone number, but as soon as it was connected, a pleasant voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Hey, is it Tiger?"
"I'm." Tiger responded, the sound sounded a little familiar, but I don't know who called him: "You are..."
"You are so forgetful, Tiger." The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little angry: "I'm Penelope Cruz."
Tiger immediately remembered the hot-bodied beauty, and he sweated for a moment: "Sorry, the sound on the phone is a little hard to hear... It seems that it is not your phone. If you use your phone, I will definitely know who you are." He and Penelope had also exchanged calls before, but it was obvious that this was an unfamiliar number.
"My cell phone is out of power, and I borrowed someone else's phone number to call. It's really inconvenient to be in Barcelona," Penelope said.
"Oh, have you not finished your movie yet?" Tiger asked casually, and Menditta next to him also raised his ears and looked at Tiger curiously, then smiled embarrassedly and pointed at the door, meaning that he would want to go out so as not to hear Tiger's privacy.
Tiger smiled and shook his head at Mendeta and said that he didn't mind that he was beside him. Mendeta didn't need to avoid suspicion. At this moment, Penelope's sigh came from the phone: "Oh my God, aren't you an investor? I'm going to inform you after the movie is finished..."
"Oh, I'm a non-qualified investor." Tiger laughed: "By the way, I'm in Madrid now, in your hometown."
"Of course I know. You are going to play against Real Madrid tomorrow, I'm here to find out the information." Penelope laughed giggling on the other end of the phone, revealing his identity as a hardcore Meilingge again...
"Ha, I'm sorry. We just discussed how to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu tomorrow, but I can't tell you the specific details." Tiger said with a smile.
"Tsk, do I still need to ask?" Penelope expressed his disdain on the other end of the phone: "My team will definitely beat you tomorrow! No matter what method you use, don't think of taking a point away from the Bernabeu."
"Nonono, it won't be one point. If we want to lead, we will take three points away." Tiger continued to smile.
"You are so sure? Arrogant!" Penelope shouted on the phone.
"Why do you want to make a bet." Tiger suddenly wanted to tease this beautiful woman who was one year older than him: "We won Real Madrid, you treat me to dinner, Real Madrid defeated us, I treat you to dinner, okay?"
"Isn't that all good for you?" Penelope was not fooled: "Unless you say that if you lose the game, next time you go to the set, you have to say in front of all the actors, 'Real Madrid is the best team! I regret not going to Real Madrid!'"
"Okay, but if we win Real Madrid, I will get more things." Tiger was a little annoyed.
"It's okay to ask me to accompany you." Penelope said proudly.
Tiger choked and was stunned by this bold and hot lady, but as a man, he obviously would not retreat at this time: "Okay, if you win Real Madrid, you have to wear Real Madrid jerseys with me!"
It was Penelope's turn to choke. After a long time, she stammered and said: "Who...who made such a boring bet with you!"
Listening to the busy voice coming from the other end of the phone, Tiger couldn't help laughing - act like a hooligan? Why is it all the woman at a disadvantage...
"Who is this? Why did you hook up with a female Real Madrid fan?" Mendieta's curiosity was also hooked up.
"No, an actor I met occasionally before...Penelope Cruz." Tiger answered indifferently.
"Penelope Cruz?" Mendeta's voice suddenly increased three times: "You are talking about the actor Penelope? That's the Spanish goddess!"
Tiger was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Mendita to be so excited: "Why, do you like her very much?"
"I have basically watched her movies last year." Mendeta replied, "Don Juan, Angel Love... By the way, what investors did you just say just now? Penelope is filming Almodovar's "Everything About My Mother"... Don't tell me you are the investor of this movie."
"Yes, what happened to me before the start of this season?" Tiger felt strange. Unexpectedly, Mendeta was still a movie enthusiast...
"I really didn't expect..." Mendetta stood up excitedly and turned around in the room: "I heard before that it was a British man who invested in this movie, but I didn't expect it was you... You are so amazing, so many investors dare not invest in Almodovar movies. How could you invest so much money? Usually you always take my car to ride, but you are so rich?"
"I don't have money, I only have tens of thousands of pounds left for expenses now." Tiger spread his hands: "After investing in this movie, I didn't even have the money to buy a car..."
"Why are you very familiar with Almodova? Can you help me get an autograph? He is the treasure of Spain." Mendeta said to Tiger with hope.
"Uh, okay, I'll help you with next time..." Looking at Mendita, who turned into an admirer, Tiger said helplessly.
"By the way, what did you say about wearing Real Madrid jerseys just now... Do you want to make a bet with Penelope that if you win Real Madrid, let her wear Real Madrid jerseys with you ***? You actually made this request to the goddess of Spain?" Menditta glared at her eyes. Just as Tiger wanted to defend, his expression suddenly became obscene: "Damn, this is simply the biggest dream of all La Liga players except Real Madrid players!"
Seeing Mendeta suddenly transformed from anger into a molester, Tiger was still a little unable to adapt. Mendeta slapped Tiger's shoulder: "Penelope has always been a hardcore supporter of Real Madrid. If a non-Real Madrid player can make her beat, he would be able to... Brother, you will fight for Valencia's face."
"I'm not a male prostitute... Besides, she didn't agree to this bet, so she hung up the phone." Tiger shrugged and replied.
The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
************************************************
The bus drove into the Bernabeu Stadium and Tiger, who had been looking at the brilliant building through the car window, took his eyes back.
The two symbols of Spanish football are Bernabeu, Camp Nou.
In the Champions League last season, this season's Super Cup, Tiger has conquered the Camp Nou. Now, the one he wants to conquer is the Bernabeu!
During the warm-up, Tiger kept looking at the surrounding situation. The lawns of Bernabeu are no different from other stadiums. Perhaps the quality of the lawns is better than that of other stadiums? However, the lawns of La Liga teams have always been good, which is related to their preference for ground attacks. Compared with the lawns of La Liga teams at home, most of the lawns at home in the Premier League teams are at the same level as the vegetable fields...
The white roof shines under the sunlight. This building, which is not short of time, is one of the symbols of Madrid. On this stadium, there have been countless superstars running, Puscas, Stefano, and Real Madrid Five Eagles...
Now, Real Madrid still has the best group of stars.
"What should be said, I've finished yesterday." Cooper looked at the players in the locker room and said slowly: "Everyone thought we would fight back with defense. Today, let others see our offense... Before going on the court, close their eyes and think about the game in Munich and feel that feeling... As long as we can show that state, no team can defeat us, Real Madrid can't...Okay, let's go now."
Valencia's players opened their eyes when they heard the sound, and then walked out of the Bernabeu's visiting team locker room with murderous aura.
Valencia's starting lineup in this game is no different from the previous game, with goalkeeper Palop, defender Anguema, Caboni, Jukic and Pellegrino who returned from the ban, midfielder Herad, Farinos, Kili, Mendeta, Tiger, and single forward Lopez.
With Redondo absent due to injury, Real Madrid's head coach Toshak sent a 433 lineup. The goalkeeper was the young Casillas. This season, because the main goalkeeper Ilgena and substitute goalkeeper Bisari were injured one after another, Real Madrid had to temporarily draw Casillas from the second team to the first team. He conceded a goal in the last two games, but his performance was quite good.
The four defenders are Salgado, the son-in-law of Real Madrid chairman Sans, who has transferred this season, Robert Carlos, captain Jero and Elgra, Frenchman Karumb, Dutchman Seidorf and Englishman McManaman, the midfielder, and Raul, Morientes, and Anelka, who has transferred this season, forming a trident. This season, Real Madrid spent 80 million in the transfer market, and nearly half of it was spent on Anelka.
Seeing the Real Madrid players appear, more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans on the scene cheered warmly. Although they drew in the previous three games, they still believe that Real Madrid can defeat Valencia and win the first victory after three rounds!
"Real Madrid fighters, kill that damn guy!"
Far away in Barcelona, a beautiful face stared at the TV screen in front of him, cursing in his heart - it was Penelope Cruz who was so scared by Tiger that he hung up the phone yesterday...
