Chapter 347 The capital of the double-line list is lost
Although Xu Qi was suspended in the league, the suspension was only in La Liga. In terms of the Champions League, Xu Qi can continue
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Valencia challenged Dutch powerhouse Twinter away.
Arc Stadium in Twente.
This stadium is not big and can only accommodate more than 13,000 fans to watch the game on the spot, but the attendance rate is very high.
In this game, Xu Qi still started.
However, facing Twente, who is weaker than Valencia, Emery chose to rotate Mata.
In this game, Banegas finally made a comeback. The importance of this Argentina international midfielder to Valencia is self-evident, and his comeback also gave Emery a very good room for adjustment.
In this game, Xu Qi appeared on the right side, and Hua Jin was given a high-level battle card due to injury.
On the left side, Vicente started this game.
Midfielder Banegas, Alberda and Fernandez partner.
On the front line is Soldado.
Defence line Maduro, Stankovius, Ricardo Costa, Alba.
The Twente team played at home, and naturally all the main players played.
Although Xu Qi was present in this game, Valencia still encountered a strong blockade.
Twente's tactics were very successful.
Although Valencia has a certain advantage, from the perspective of absolute chances, even Twente has more.
The team played a two-to-two with Inter Milan in the first leg, and was kicked by Tottenham in the second round.
So in fact, their condition has fluctuations, but in this game, Twente team obviously performed well.
And Valencia's overall team is silent.
In the 75th minute of the game, Twente scored a goal.
Veteran Teo Jensen scored through a set piece.
Valencia is behind.
Facing an opponent like Twente, if you cannot score all three points, it will cause amazing changes to the qualifying situation of the entire team.
In fact, it is hard to satisfy a single point in this game.
But the opponent's goal was in the end in fifteen minutes.
This puts Valencia in a slight pressure on the other side.
Xu Qi also suffered some physical problems at this time due to continuous combat during this period of time and was unable to stand up to help the team at this critical moment.
Fortunately, Valencia is always stronger. They used these fifteen minutes to attack with all their might, causing the opponent's defenders to make mistakes.
The opponent's defender Vighof gave an own goal, which also allowed Valencia to tie the score in the final stage of the game.
One to one, Valencia finally got a draw away.
Three rounds of competition, one win and two draws.
Points five points.
In another game in Group A, Tottenham Hotspurs once again staged a goal battle with Inter Milan away.
Inter Milan defeated Tottenham Hotspur four-3.
Sanetti, Stankovic scored twice.
Etoo has scored six goals in three rounds of group stages, leading the Champions League scorer list.
The one who talks about the most about this game was not Inter Milan, but Tottenham Hotspur who lost the game.
To be precise, it should be Gareth Bale in Tottenham!
In this game, Gareth Bale completed a hat trick and completely beat Macon with his superb speed.
Maicon has been unlucky enough in the past two rounds of the Champions League. Xu Qi has already cleaned him up miserably before, and now he has replaced him with Bale to break up with him.
And they all eat him raw!
Maicon, who is known by many as the world's number one right-back, has recently become the background board for the rise of two new stars.
Of course, Valencia is focusing on the current standings.
Inter Milan also won one win and two draws, scored five points, and scored the same points as Valencia.
Tottenham Hotspur won and lost two times, and scored three points.
Twente team tied two draws and lost one, and scored two points.
Now Valencia and Inter Milan have five points, and the difference between the four teams is actually not big.
No team won two games.
The so-called death group, after three rounds, the situation is obviously not clear.
But it is true that Tottenham is more dangerous now.
...
After the mid-week Champions League, the team returned to Spain to continue preparing for the La Liga match.
Xu Qi, who returned to La Liga, can only watch football in the private room now.
It feels really uncomfortable to be unable to play after getting a red card.
After Valencia failed to defeat Twente away, the team's overall condition also showed a trough.
Xu Qi failed to play in this game, but many other players such as Mata, Banega, Soldado all started.
However, they still failed to take Mallorca.
Moreover, Valencia was upset and lost to Mallorca 1-2 at home.
Now, Valencia's top position is in danger.
In the seven rounds of Valencia, five wins, one draw and one loss, and 16 points.
Barcelona won five wins, one draw and one loss, and the points were also 16 points, which tied Valencia. Moreover, their goal difference was still an advantage, so Barcelona temporarily surpassed Valencia in the standings.
Valencia scored the same score, but its ranking has dropped to third place.
Because the top spot has been replaced by Real Madrid, Real Madrid is still unbeaten, winning five games and drawing two games, with 17 points.
Therefore, they topped the standings.
At this point, in this week, Valencia's top position in the double-tier rankings was not saved and was lost. Although it was also equally divided with Inter Milan, Inter Milan obviously scored more goals, so it temporarily surpassed Valencia.
This season, in the La Liga, there is actually another team that has an amazing record now, that is, Villarreal. They are now also win five wins and one draw, and are in a tie with Valencia and Barcelona.
In the next round, in the eighth round of La Liga, Valencia will go to Barcelona to visit Camp Nou, and have a very fierce point battle with Barcelona.
Both teams in the top three in the standings hope to score three points and remain competitive in the standings.
Real Madrid team is more happy to see such a showdown. They like to watch tiger fights and have the advantage of points, so they are naturally in a good mood.
There are no Champions League games in this round mid-week, but there are King's Cup games.
Top 32 games.
Xu Qi did not make a appearance, but Valencia did not send a full substitute.
He sent more than half of the main lineup to face this game against UD Logronis.
With Arduris' double score and Vicente's goal in the final, Valencia defeated the opponent three-to-zero away in the first leg of the 16th-finals.
Of course, this does not mean that Valencia has entered the quarterfinals.
Chapter completed!
