When the stands of the Mestalla Stadium were nearly half empty, the game had not yet reached the 75th minute and the score was shown on the scoreboard.
0:5
As per international practice, the home team went first!
After Guti's assist to Qin Xiong in front of the penalty area and Qin Xiong once again penetrated Valencia's goal, the Mestalla Stadium had become a disheartening place for the Valencia people.
It was a nightmarish game and a heart-wrenching scene.
Real Madrid continued to play the song of victory and continued to attack Valencia's goal.
In the 85th minute of the game, Miguel was sent off for violating Robinho in the penalty area with two yellow and one red. Real Madrid's penalty kick was won by the substitute van Nistelrooy.
6:0
Real Madrid won another game, their tenth consecutive league win!
After Atlético Madrid and Villarreal, another team that was considered to be a contender for the title at the beginning of the season was massacred by Real Madrid!
The crazy Real Madrid received praise from all sides after the game, and President Calderón announced the title with a glowing face.
He claimed that Real Madrid would defend their title without any suspense.
Most of the players were used to the blabbermouth president's blabbermouth and did not take it seriously.
The battle was still going on.
In the 11th round of the La Liga, Real Madrid was about to face another contender for the title, Sevilla!
On the night of November 3rd, Real Madrid visited the Pizjuán Stadium to challenge Sevilla.
Sevilla's transfers this summer were in line with the rules, with several transactions focused on the backfield that urgently needed to add players.
De Sanctis, who bought out his value, was expected to become the second Palop. Boulahrouz and the best defender in South America, Mosquera, could play both as a centerback and a winger. The black midfielder Keita's style was similar to Poulsen's. They could guarantee two players of similar strength in any position in the midfield and backfield.
Sevilla also had the captain of the Argentina U-20 national team, the centerback Fazio, who joined last winter. There was no guarantee that he would become the second "Ramos."
Kanoutte, who had once wanted to transfer, also renewed his contract.
After a few seasons of recuperation, Sevilla's economic situation had improved. They were very strict with the transfer of players, and most of the players sold had nothing to do with the overall situation of the team.
Ossio returned to his hometown, Bilbao. Young Koppa gave 3.5 million euros to Getafe, while Davy went to Levante to retire.
All in all, Seville's thoughts on the transfer were stability, and their strength would increase steadily.
In the competition with Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia, they were no longer satisfied with the role of disruptor.
Originally, Sevilla should have been the most promising dark horse team to win the championship in the new season. Firstly, it was because of their remarkable achievements in the European arena. Secondly, the team had succeeded in keeping Alves, the star player that many powerhouses coveted. This reflected their ambition.
However, at the beginning of the season, an accident caused the entire team to fall into the abyss.
That was the accidental death of young Puerta!
What kind of effect would a person's death have?
If you don't know him, haven't spoken to him, haven't had any contact with him, then maybe it doesn't matter.
However, as a member of the team, Puerta, who was in his prime, unexpectedly fell on the field, leaving his teammates with such a shocking scene and a tragic result. No one could bear such a blow.
In the month after Puerta's death, Sevilla suffered four consecutive defeats. After that, they had another defeat. It was only recently that they got back on the right track with three consecutive victories!
It could be said that Sevilla had basically withdrawn from the championship group. The gap between them and Real Madrid had reached 17 points!
This gap was not something that could be caught up by consoling themselves with 26 rounds left in the league tournament.
However, Sevilla would not surrender at home.
When the Real Madrid players stepped into the Pizjuan Stadium, they stood in formation on the field and looked at each other. Their eyes seemed to be saying something very tacitly.
Atlético Madrid, Villarreal, Valencia, and now it was Sevilla's turn!
No matter how many opponents there were for the championship, the mentality of the Real Madrid players had already become the king after destroying all the heroes in the world!
"Welcome to the Pizjuan Stadium. Today, Sevilla welcomes the challenge of the league leader, Real Madrid. The gap between the two teams in the standings is almost 20 points. If you only look at Sevilla's record, you will definitely think that Sevilla's performance this season has been declining all the way. However, we should consider that Sevilla lost an important member at the beginning of the league tournament. Puerta's death will definitely affect the atmosphere, fighting spirit, and even the will of the entire Sevilla team!
We can't be too harsh on Sevilla. They will heal themselves, recover themselves, and pick themselves up again. They have performed well in the last three games and have shown signs of coming back. I hope that they can give their all at home today and have a good arm-wrestling match with Real Madrid!
Real Madrid's state this season is simply jaw-dropping. The brand-new attacking group created by Bosque can be said to have the best attacking firepower in Europe!
Although Qin Xiong is the best striker in the team, we can't ignore that Real Madrid's offense is blossoming. Real Madrid, like Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raúl, Snede, Robben, Robinho, and even Guti and Ramos can contribute to the team's goals. The gorgeous offense of Real Madrid is feared by all opponents. We don't know if Real Madrid can continue to exude the white terror at the Pizjuan Stadium today!
Sevilla's starting lineup today: 442.
Goalkeeper: Palop.
Defenders: Alves, Facio, Crespo, Dragutinović.
Midfielders: Navas, Keita, Poulsen, Adriano.
Forwards: Fabiano, Kanouté.
Real Madrid's starting lineup: 442.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Cannavaro, Marcelo.
Midfielders: Robben, Diarra, Guti, Snede.
Forwards: Qin Xiong, Raúl. "
Robben's recovery today was good news for Real Madrid. Heinz, who was slightly injured, continued to sit on the bench.
When the game started, the mentality of Real Madrid's players was very relaxed. They even looked down on Sevilla.
You dare to play two forwards in front of us?
You're courting death!!!
However, if they observed the game specifically, the Real Madrid players found that although Sevilla played a two-forward formation, it was very different from the other 4-4-2 formations.
In the dangerous zone in front of the goal, Sevilla shrank their formation. Their offense relied on counterattacks, and it was a one-sided flying counterattack.
Navas' speed was unparalleled in the world. Kanouté and Fabiano on the front line formed a triangular attacking formation with him.
As for defense, it was enough to rely on the seven people behind him!
On the road to containing Real Madrid's crazy momentum, the La Liga heroes were also racking their brains to come up with a set of effective tactics!
