Chapter 1044 Finally defeated!

Top the list!

When the two-week national team match day ended and the ninth round of La Liga, the entire Spanish football world exclaimed.

Chinatown, which played at home, defeated Villarrel 2-0 with goals from Isco and Griezmann, and won nine consecutive La Liga wins in the new season.

Barcelona drew Osasuna 0-0 away, and Atletico Madrid lost to Espanyol 0-1 away. Both teams were deeply influenced by the national team games and performed very poorly. Only Real Madrid defeated Malaga 2-0 at home and continued to maintain their momentum.

After nine rounds of battle, Chinatown jumped to the top of the La Liga list with its head held high with nine consecutive victories, becoming the only team in the La Liga this season to maintain a complete victory, and also shocked everyone, especially head coach Zidane.

As a head coach who just started coaching, Zidane showed such a strong momentum in his first season, which is really impressive and at the same time deeply admired.

Many media even gave Zidane the title of Gao Han II, believing that he is likely to continue Gao Han's tradition, continue to win consecutively on the road of coaching, and perform miracles again in European football.

However, Zidane modestly stated that the team's achievements are inseparable from the support of the management and the efforts of the players, and he will not worry about whether to win in a row. He will only focus on every game in the next game, and at the same time encourage the players to continue to work hard and strive to achieve a better result this season.

Even the tone of speaking and responding is exactly the same, which makes people feel that Zidane has a profound shadow of high cold.

But Gao Han did not participate in all the hype and remarks from the outside world.

He is more involved in the construction of the new stadium in Chinatown. He occasionally has the opportunity to go for a walk in the youth team and visit young players. He is just for the youth training cooperation projects between China and Spain. He has been traveling between Beijing and Madrid.

Even if he was occasionally caught by media reporters, Gao Han would never mention Zidane and the team.

Because he knew very well that no matter what he said, Zidane would eventually be under pressure.

But in private, Gao Han still openly and honestly briefed Zidane about some of the phenomena he observed and some of the shortcomings exposed by the team. After all, he was clear about the bystanders, and many opinions and ideas were of great help to Zidane.

Three days after reaching the top of La Liga, Chinatown drew Manchester United 2-2 away.

In this matchup at Old Trafford, Zidane and Pochettino both made great efforts to target the opponent's weaknesses. Manchester United mainly pressed and pressed at high positions, while Chinatown was determined to pass the control. The two sides were in a difficult position and shook hands and made peace in the final.

On the weekend of Manchester United, Chinatown once again took a big rotation, ushering in the derby in the southern suburbs of Madrid.

Getafe has performed well this season and is currently ranked sixth in La Liga and has strong competitiveness. Head coach Luis Garcia is also very familiar with Chinatown. It is a derby and a home game. It is a determined victory.

In contrast, in China City, Godin was absent due to injury, which forced China City to line up the central defender combination of Varane and Umtiti. As a result, within just fifteen minutes of the opening game, Getafe seized the opportunity and scored two goals in a row.

After falling behind two goals, Chinatown was once in despair.

But at the critical moment, Isco dribbled the ball and broke through forcibly, disrupting Getafe's defense line, and assisted Hazard to score a goal.

Just two minutes later, an assist from Pogba allowed Hazard to win another goal, scoring twice, helping Chinatown tie the score.

Alberto Moreno's assist allowed Hazard to score a hat-trick before the end of the first half.

In just ten minutes, Hazard scored a hat trick, and Chinatown also reversed Getafe with these three goals and entered the second half with a three-to-two score.

After the change of sides, Chinatown's offensive continued to maintain pressure on Getafe, especially after completely controlling the ball, the overall pressure was very high.

In the 68th minute, an assist from Hazard allowed Pogba to score a goal, further establishing a lead.

Four minutes later, Isco dribbled into the penalty area and was fouled. The referee showed a yellow card without any suspense and gave Chinatown a penalty kick. Isco calmly took the penalty and hit it, 5-2!

The score was finally maintained until the end of the game.

With Hazard's hat-trick and Pogba and Isco's goals, Chinatown reversed Getafe 5-2 away and won the first derby in the Madrid southern suburbs in the new season.

After this round of battle, Chinatown continued to lead the La Liga standings. Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home, and still ranked second. Atletico Madrid won five-0 and continued to occupy third place.

Real Madrid, which started the season with a bad start, fell out of the top four in the league and fell to fifth place.

Three days later, the eleventh round of La Liga.

Barcelona beat Vigo Celta 3-0 away, and Martino not only defeated Luis Enrique in the coaching position, but also won on the court.

Real Madrid also changed the depression of losing to Camp Nou in the last round, and defeated Sevilla by 7 and 3.

After the unlucky Emery switched to Sevilla from Valencia this season, he was once again humiliated by Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Granada 2-1 away.

Chinatown, which was still arranged in the final game, was at his home court. With Firmino's hat-trick and Hazard's goal, he defeated Elche 4-0 and won eleven consecutive victories in the new season.

This also makes Chinatown the only team in European football this season to maintain a complete victory.

Zidane was also elected as La Liga coach of the month for two consecutive months in September and October.

This is undoubtedly a great honor and success for Zidane, who was coaching at the beginning of the day.

In November, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Chinatown faced Manchester United at home, but the two sides tied one-to-one at Brock Stadium. Zidane and Pochettino's two matches were both handshakes and peace.

But as a result, the qualifying situation in the Champions League Group A has become confusing again.

…………

…………

On the evening of November 3, the twelfth round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid faces Chinatown at home.

When the referee showed Umtiti the second yellow card for the game, Gao Han, who was sitting in the chairman's stands, was speechless and shook his head with depression.

Chinatown finally lost!

Although Gao Han purchased the training bonus of the self-training system in daily training in Chinatown, there are fewer injuries, faster players' strength and good condition, they will still be injured.

As the season deepened, especially in late October, every player was very tired for a week of double games. Godin, Montoya, Kante, Verati, Firmino and other players were injured one after another, especially Godin, whose injury and absence had a great impact on Chinatown's defense line.

In just the 27th minute of the game, Devrey was injured. Zidane had to replace him with Umtiti, but six minutes later, Villa took the lead in breaking the goal of Chinatown for Atletico Madrid.

In the 41st minute, Herrera assisted Torres to win another goal, expanding the score to 2-0.

But after the second half of the game, Chinatown quickly counterattacked and the offensive momentum was very strong, especially in the 54th minute, Zidane replaced Cork with Pogba with a poor performance in this game, and even signaled a strong attack.

Atletico Madrid had to retreat in the face of Chinatown's strong offensive momentum.

But perhaps it was because of impatientness or not calm enough, Umtiti received two yellow cards in the 64th and 78th minutes respectively, both of which were fouls when defending the opponent's counterattack.

Behind two goals and one person is missing, the possibility of a reversal in this game is already slim.

Especially Zidane faced the conservative Simeone this time.

As soon as the red card appeared, Simeone immediately replaced Navas on the front line with Raul Garcia, and then replaced Villa with Mario Suarez, which clearly meant to defend and counterattack.

"To be honest, Diego is such a fucking hooligan!" Gao Han shook his head in the stands.

Cerezo, Little Hill, Cantalero and others laughed.

This is indeed a bit of a bachelor.

However, Simeone's style is pragmatic, and she can retreat and dare to push her out.

"Don't complain. This season, there is really no one who wins eleven consecutive times, especially a novice like Zidane. It's really impressive to have such a result." Xiao Hill advised with a smile.

"Who said no? I was jealous of your lineup. Only your eyes can gather such a lineup, almost all of them come from their own youth training." Serezo also praised with great admiration.

Looking back at that time, the high-altitude Chinatown was still the lowest-level league team, and they had to survive by the big tree of Atletico Madrid. Any player eliminated from youth training was the core main role when he arrived in Chinatown. Who would have thought that in just over ten years, this team had already jumped to the top of the La Liga list.

With this achievement, I'm afraid only Gao Han can achieve it.

"I didn't say anything, I was convinced to lose this game." Gao Han admitted with a wry smile.

Zidane is still a little more immature, especially when facing the cunning Simeone.

This game not only lost the ball, but also lost people, Umtiti's red card seemed a bit redundant.

However, this French central defender has great potential. Whether it is Gao Han, Cantalero or Zidane, they are very optimistic about him.

Cantalero, who was sitting next to Gao Han, nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Gao Han's words.

Losing means losing, winning or losing is common, and no one thinks that Zidane's team can continue to win.

Apart from Gao Han, there is no other person who can create this miracle.

Zidane's eleven consecutive victories have become very incredible, and even made more people believe that Gao Han has indeed mastered the secret to winning on the football field. Otherwise, how would he explain that Guardiola and Zidane were so successful?

Even Emery, Tuchel and others are all front-line coaches in Europe. This skill of coaching assistant coaches is no worse than that of coaching players at Gao Han.

"I'm more worried about this game now." Cantalero looked at Gao Han worriedly.

Gao Han understands it.

After winning streaks, the team is full of morale. After losing, the blow is not bad.

In this case, how to stop the team's decline and avoid losing again and again is the key.

Especially for young teams like Chinatown, it is crucial to revitalize the team's morale.
