"We have bad luck? Why?"

At the pre-match press conference on the afternoon of October 24, Valencia head coach Nuno Espirito Santo asked reporters in this way.

The reporter in front of him smiled:

"Because that man is going to play."

Nuno tried hard to control his facial muscles, but in the end he couldn't keep calm.

He lowered his head and sighed:

"You're right, my luck is really bad. I won't deceive myself. With Chen Hao's Atletico Madrid, we are definitely not something we can defeat. Our training task these days is how to strengthen defense and reduce the loss of goals in the game. I swear to God, this... is definitely not a smoke bomb, but our most real idea."

Simeone rubbed the stubble on her chin:

"In my opinion, Nuno is still numbing us. In fact, my team is not in good shape at the moment. Although I took a rotation lineup in the previous Champions League matches, many of our main players are already very old and their fatigue does not recover so easily. And tomorrow night, standing opposite us is a young guard with an average age of less than 22 years old. These young people will definitely bring us trouble with their vitality!"

Nuno's face suddenly turned dark.

Although he thought it was quite difficult to defeat Atletico Madrid, he still retained a bit of luck, but Simeone's cautious behavior made him a little unexpected.

His eyes turned to Chen Hao, and he heard the player who had been away from the Green Field for more than half a month due to injury and said nostalgic:

"Injuries are really a headache. I have been holding them in for a long time. Now I... can't wait to return to the arena!

Nuno's face changed from black to white!

What else is hope for his team?!

October 25.

Another game day.

Lisa Bella, 25, is a ticket inspector at Calderon Stadium. At this moment, she is providing ticket inspection services to every audience entering the ticket inspection channel with a signature professional smile.

On the electronic technology card near the entrance, the number of fans currently entering the stadium is recorded:

53,888 people.

For Calderon Stadium, which has a maximum capacity of 54,207 people, this number has reached saturation - after all, a small number of seats must be set as a safe isolation area.

Lisa let out a sigh and said to her colleagues around her:

"Today's audience... seems to be much more than the mid-week Champions League matches."

Someone answered her doubts:

"Because... that man is back!"

-

"Looking at the atmosphere of this stadium, we still have to work hard to catch up with the Chinese Super League."

Cai Zhonghua sat upright in the VIP seat and looked down at the fanatical fans from a high place.

Sitting next to him was Wang Jianlin, the largest shareholder of Atletico Madrid club. He has never come to watch the game on site and appeared in the stands for the first time today.

As a business tycoon, he has seen countless storms and waves. He did not need to accompany him personally during an ordinary visit from the Chinese Football Association, but now the domestic situation seems to be getting tighter and he is willing to take the initiative to make some gestures, especially in the football field.

At this moment, he was smiling happily:

"Yes, Director Cai, you know that I have always had feelings for football. Now that the domestic league is in full swing, I am also planning to reinvest in a club and contribute to the development of Chinese football."

Cai Zhonghua smiled:

"This is a good thing. On behalf of the Football Association, I welcome Mr. Wang to return to football."

Wang Jianlin's eyes turned to the players on both sides who were entering the court and continued:

"We also hope to create a springboard for domestic players to go abroad. After the winter window, we will also attract Zhang Chengdong from Vallecano to provide these international players with more opportunities to play..."

Cai Zhonghua nodded slightly, but he couldn't remember what Zhang Chengdong from Vallecano looked like?

-

"drop!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the ninth round of the La Liga match also officially began.

Valencia (or Valencia) is of course considered a traditional strong team in Spain. Before Simeone took over Atletico Madrid, the Bats' position in La Liga in the past 20 years was even slightly higher than Atletico Madrid, which was once relegated. At the beginning of the century, it reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years, but was defeated by two giant teams, Real Madrid and Bayern.

Valencia was second only to Atletico Madrid by only one point difference, ranking fourth in the standings. In the summer window of 2015, they received support from Chinese bosses and spent 140 million euros to buy famous stars such as Rodriguez, Negredo, Abdennuer, Gomez, Cancelo, Santos, Mina, etc., and second only to Atletico Madrid, who bought Chen Hao in the La Liga money list. Even Real Madrid and Barcelona were overshadowed by them.

If it was an ordinary season, Atletico Madrid's match against Valencia was of course a strong dialogue and a focus battle, but just three minutes into the beginning of this game, it quickly turned into a half-court offensive drill for the home team!

The Bat Legion, which was the first to kick off, was still trying to find loopholes in Atletico Madrid's defense line. Godin, who had been resting for a week, used a clean block to resolve their straight pass ball, and Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack began.

Still a familiar routine: Gabby quickly transfers, Cork passes accurately, and the football bypasses the defender's head and finds Chen Hao who is running forward at high speed!

He braked urgently without warning while running at high speed, and then he locked the two defenders who were about to block him!

Valencia's defenders didn't have time to change directions when they saw Chen Hao push the ball horizontally and shoot directly in the penalty area!

1-0!

During such a high-speed driving, the football never left Chen Hao's feet from unloading the ball to the front, and then to the last horizontal pulling.

Cai Zhonghua in the stands applauded gently.

Although he was born in table tennis and had only a slight understanding of football skills, as the helmist, he also watched many important games on the spot. But in his impression, even those big-name foreign players who introduced the Chinese Super League at high prices, no one can control football so light and agile!

As for those domestic players, if they encounter such a fast spinning long pass, 30% of them can park the ball within five meters, which is already quite amazing!

The remaining 70% of the people can't even find the passing point!

-

“CHENNNNN!”

The live broadcaster of Calderon Stadium once again gave a familiar cheer, and the entire stadium was even more thunderous.

"Our Golden Boy is back!"

"He is the king of football!"

Griezmann ran towards Chen Hao with a smile, and the two of them slapped hard.

The French probably have no complaints in their hearts now.

On this Green Field where strength is paramount, he and this teammate are not in the same realm as each other!

Perhaps after retiring, I could hold my son and tell him the story of how I watched the legendary overlord step by step at the closest distance, right?
Chapter completed!
