"Friends from the audience, welcome to the No.30 round of La Liga's focus match, Real Madrid vs. Valencia at home. The match between the third in the league and the fourth in the league, the difference between the two sides is only three points, this game is very important for both sides It is a battle of life and death. Both teams have the possibility of winning the championship in theory. If they really want to win the championship, the meaning of this game is to decide the three points of the championship. If Real Madrid wins, then they have Maybe bite the first two and wait for them to make mistakes. But if Real Madrid lose, then Valencia will replace Real Madrid and chase the first two."

"This is a game that no one can afford to lose!"

And the other commentator started from the players and the data of both sides.

“皇马上赛季在伯纳乌1比2不敌瓦伦西亚，但此前4个主场取得3胜1平，双方联赛历史交锋143场，皇马74胜28平41负占据上风，其中主场55胜8平8负。劳尔第600次代表皇马出场，其中萨尔加多联赛439次出场追平耶罗。本场比赛加戈和贝克汉姆坐到了替补席上，看样子卡佩罗对他们两个很是关心。”

Just when the commentator finished speaking, under the signal of the referee, the game officially started.

Gago, Beckham and Reyes are sitting on the bench together. All three of them are recovering from serious injuries. Capello doesn't think that after the injury, their state can still be the same as when they were not injured.At this time, they need to get familiar with the feeling of the game slowly, so he decided to send the three of them to go for a walk when the overall situation of the game has been decided.

In this game, Capello does not think that the team he leads will lose. This is his confidence in his coaching ability.Valencia's head coach this season, Flores, dedicated his ten years as a player to Valencia, so he has enough prestige in the hearts of the fans and can calm down the players in the locker room.

Although his performance in leading the team this season is not bad, but his life in the team is not good.Valencia's management is notoriously chaotic. If it weren't for a few of them who are sensible and various power struggles, maybe Valencia might really become the third giant in La Liga.The conflict between Flores and the team's general manager Caponi no longer needs to be covered up, and the two have scolded each other more than once in court.

However, the fierce conflict between the head coach and the general manager did not have a great impact on Valencia's performance.This has to be said about Flores' personal prestige. As a player, as the only pillar of Valencia for a few decades, he won the support of the locker room and fans, allowing him to maximize the team's combat effectiveness play out.

But that is only compared with ordinary head coaches. Capello is confident that he can use his own tactics to command the rookie coach Flores.

And the development of form on the court is also proceeding as he expected.The striker combination of Morientes and Villa is definitely the top in La Liga, but in this game they were surrounded by Real Madrid's defense, which did not pose any threat to Casillas' goal.

The central defender combination of Ramos and Cannavaro has basically been considered a tacit understanding after more than half a season of running-in.The two of them went up one by one to fill in, and Salgado and Carlos on both sides were experienced veterans. For a while, this pair of Spain's top strikers didn't even have a decent shot.

Valencia's offense mainly relies on the two wings to launch. The wing combination of Silva and Joaquin has proved that they are the best in Europe this season.But the two of them have to face the two ten-year pillars of Real Madrid. After they have worked so hard to get past the double midfielders of Guti and Diarra, they will be replaced by the experienced Carlos and Salgado. Steal.

The two wings were blocked, and the striker could only stare at the goal.Had to keep going, Villa withdrew and began to connect the midfield and forward lines. Morientes' ability to serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt is still very prominent.Gourd Baby is not suitable to be at the front. He and Raul have similar characteristics, so Morientes and him cooperate very well.Using Villa's back-and-forth series, coupled with Morientes' cover, involved.Valencia was finally able to play a decent offense.

But at this moment, Real Madrid's frontcourt combination scored.

The way of scoring goals is exactly the same as Valencia's tactics. In this game, Capello specially pushed Raul back to the front line to partner with Ruud van Nistelrooy. These two are also a versatile center and a second striker. The midfield created far more chances than Valencia, so Real Madrid converted one of those chances into a goal.

Higuain, who replaced Raul as the right midfielder, received Guti's pass and made a direct pass. Van Nistelrooy used his height to ferry to Raul.The Lord of the Rings made a fake shot at the front of the penalty area in the face of the siege of two people, shaking the ball into the penalty area when they were blocked by Ayala and Moretti.

Ruud van Nistelrooy threw off Miguel in the penalty area and picked up the ball, turned around and volleyed directly. Facing the shot that was close at hand, Canizares reacted quickly and rushed to the ball, but the ball was too powerful. In his hand, it bounced into the net in disguise.

1: 0.
Real Madrid took the lead in the opening 15 minutes. This is the Dutchman's No.17 goal in the league. He used this goal to express that he is now the main center of Real Madrid and will be the best center in the future.

Sure enough, the moment Ruud van Nistelrooy scored, the entire Bernabeu cheered loudly. The Dutchman conquered the most discerning fans in the world within a short period of time after he came to the team.So far this season, the king of the Champions League, League, Copa del Rey, and small penalty area has scored 25 goals for Real Madrid.Under the stubborn Capello, he is the main center unshakable.

On the bench, at the moment Ruud van Nistelrooy scored, Gago and the others rushed out to cheer for him.Although his playing time will be delayed in this way, at least the team is leading, which is the most important point.

On the court, watching Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy cheering together, Morientes clenched his fists in the frontcourt.He felt jealous, he should have been in that position, he should have been cheered by the Bernabéu fans.

"Don't get excited, we just have to pay him back. In my heart, you are the best center forward."

Villa, who was beside Morientes, noticed this and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"That's right, let's take him in too."

Morientes smiled at Villa and said that he knew that this teammate, in some respects, was stronger than his best friend Raul.
