Chapter 216 The Dark Horse Prince and the Ten Dwarfs [Second Explosion, Begging for a Monthly Ticket! ]
On October 18th, after two weeks, La Liga reignited the battle.
The first match is the focus match between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo away.
Interestingly, this was another rain battle.
It rained in many of Real Madrid's away games this season, including the games against Villarreal and Valencia. The results of away games in the rain were not very ideal, so many people were very worried before the game, wondering if Real Madrid would capsize again?
Queiroz has a very hard head.
In the away game against Valencia, the central defender combination of Raul Bravo and Pavon was completely defeated by Su Dong, but he still trusted this central defender combination.
Many people are wondering why Queiroz is so stubborn as to let these two young players start when the central defender combination of Raul Bravo and Pavon does not perform well?
The answer was revealed very clearly in the away game against Celta Vigo.
That's the defensive midfielder! Queiroz only has so many defensive players, Raul Bravo and Pavon are the central defenders, and the freed Helguera can replace Cambiasso and partner with Beckham in the defensive midfielder.
It was precisely Helguera who was freed up and returned to his old position of holding back in the midfield that played very well in the match against Celta Vigo, making it difficult for Celta Vigo to pass the ball through Real Madrid's midfield.
Helguera has a lot of problems as a central defender, but in the defensive midfielder position, his heading and intercepting abilities can greatly relieve the pressure on the back line. Coupled with Beckham's strong running ability, long pass, overall view, and ability to quickly launch counterattacks, Real Madrid played a convincing game against Celta Vigo.
Once the defense is stable, the superstars in the frontcourt can play freely.
Real Madrid's first goal came from the clever cooperation between Zidane and Figo, and Ronaldo calmly scored with a single shot.
After the change of sides in the second half, Zidane passed the ball to Carlos who came from behind. The Brazilian left-back shot with a powerful right foot and once again broke through Celta Vigo's goal.
Throughout the entire game, Celta Vigo failed to launch a threatening attack.
…
Having scored six goals in seven games, Ronaldo is very satisfied with his form this season.
In an interview with the media after the game, he said: "This period at Real Madrid is the most glorious stage of my career."
"Here, I am surrounded by some of the best football players in the world and I can enjoy football to the fullest."
"This season, I feel that my condition is better than last season. I scored 23 goals last season. I think I can score more this season. I set a goal for myself, 30 goals!"
Ronaldo's remarks caused heated discussions among media reporters. Scoring six goals and providing two assists in seven rounds is indeed an outstanding record, but scoring thirty goals in a single season is by no means an easy task.
Looking back, who was the last player to score 30 goals in a single season?
When Ronaldo played for Barcelona, that season belonged to the aliens.
Since then, no one in La Liga has scored more than 30 goals in a single season, including Makaay last season, who only scored 29 goals.
Looking at the history of La Liga, all those who were able to score more than 30 goals in a single season are historical celebrities, such as Sanchez and Di Stefano of Real Madrid, Pruden and Baltazar of Atletico Madrid, Romario of Barcelona, etc. Even world-renowned players such as Puskas, Zamorano and Vieri have not been able to achieve this result.
Ronaldo set his goal at thirty goals, which is undoubtedly quite exciting.
The media never forgets to create topics, because after the first day of the seventh round of La Liga, Sudon ranked first in the scorer list with eight goals in six rounds, followed closely by Ronaldo and Pandiani, who both scored six goals.
When the media asked Ronaldo to comment on these two players, Ronaldo believed that the competition for the top scorer list would be long-term.
"I know Su Dong, he is an interesting kid, he has great potential, but I don't think he can maintain this form until the end of the season, no one can do this."
Regarding the competition for the top scorer list, Ronaldo believes that thirty goals are enough to become the top scorer of this season.
The media gave positive comments on Ronaldo's comments.
Su Dong is very popular, but he is too young, only nineteen years old, which is far from the maturity of a professional player.
However, some media believe that Sudon and Pandiani still have advantages, and it is still a big challenge for Ronaldo to score 30 goals, because whether in Valencia or Deportivo La Coruna, the team's offense revolves around Sudon and Pandiani, who score the most goals.
But in Real Madrid, Ronaldo and Raul will play at the same time, and Raul will share Ronaldo's scoring rights.
…
The next day, when Ronaldo's interview with the media reached Valencia, Su Dong remembered the bet between the two. With only a two-goal lead, it was obviously not safe.
Ronaldo's form is indeed very good, and the goal he set for himself of scoring 30 league goals this season is not unattainable. This makes Su Dong feel both a sense of crisis and excitement at the same time.
"To be honest, why do I feel that Ronaldo's words are a bit provocative?"
Aimar looked at the newspaper, frowned, and looked at Su Dong, trying to find some clues from his face.
"Is there?" Su Dong asked with a smile.
Aimar turned to look at David Silva, who nodded and said, "I think there is a bit of tension, too."
"Maybe it's because I'm at the top of the scorer list." Su Dong shrugged and smiled helplessly.
"No, you must have something going on with him."
"Get lost!" Su Dong cursed with a smile.
"If you have time to worry about me, you might as well pay more attention to your little fanboy. Barcelona lost again!"
Rijkaard's performance as a coach this season is really terrible. If he was not a legendary superstar, he would have been fired long ago and would not have stayed for so long.
In the seventh round of the league, Barcelona lost 0-2 to Deportivo La Coruna at Camp Nou, and their ranking in the league standings dropped directly to eleventh. This can no longer be described as bad, it can be said to be a shame.
The newspapers said that Ronaldinho played quite well, but the team as a whole performed poorly, and Rijkaard was never able to work out a mature, stable and effective style of play and lineup.
The 0-2 defeat caused white handkerchiefs to fly in the Camp Nou stadium, and Laporta no longer supported Rijkaard as firmly as before. If this continues, Rijkaard will probably become the first head coach to be sacked in La Liga this season, and that would be the beginning of a new round of turmoil for Barcelona.
The first team's performance was poor and the team was in turmoil. Not only was the first team's center forward Kluivert flirting with Newcastle in the Premier League, but even the youth team had no hope of making a breakthrough.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that youth players such as Messi are seeking to leave.
"I'll talk to Paco later. If possible, renting him here next summer is also an idea," Aimar suggested.
Su Dong nodded. He had also watched some videos of Messi playing for the youth team and felt that he was quite good. He was the kind of genius that could be spotted at first sight, except that he was a little short and thin.
Looking at Aimar and David Silva, both of them were 1.7 meters tall, and thinking of Messi's height, Su Dong suddenly had a bad taste in his mouth. He couldn't help but wonder, if the whole team was about 1.7 meters tall, and he was the only center forward who was 1.95 meters tall, what would that look like? The story of the dark horse prince and the ten dwarfs? Su Dong couldn't help laughing, and Aimar and David Silva felt creepy.
This guy is smiling so cunningly, it must be something bad.
Vicente was deceived by his smile and thus fell into the trap of physical exercise.

…………
On the evening of October 19th, in the seventh round of La Liga, Valencia faced Espanyol at home.
Just seven minutes into the game, Valencia took advantage of their home advantage and scored the first goal.
The active Aimar cooperated with Vicente on the left, dribbled into the penalty area and made a low shot, which was saved by goalkeeper Jimenez. Su Dong in the middle appeared at the most fatal place like a ghost and easily scored the goal.
The Spaniards launched a counterattack at one point, but Valencia quickly suppressed the opponent.
Especially Su Dong, who firmly suppressed the opponent's defense line, making the Spaniards unable to move.
In the 44th minute, with a precise pass from Aimar and the support of Sudong, Baraja broke into the penalty area, got the ball and shot from the front of the small penalty area, scoring another goal for Valencia.
2-0! The entire Mestalla Stadium cheered wildly.
What was even more unexpected was that in the stoppage time, Vincent dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area and made a cross.
This low cross was accurately sent to the front of the goal. Su Dong sprinted quickly in the middle and was unguarded. He easily pushed the ball into the goal from four meters in front of the goal, scoring another goal for Valencia, 3-0! "Score twice!"
"My God, Su Dong scored twice again!"
"This is his tenth La Liga goal this season and also his seventh consecutive league goal."
"He is the only player in La Liga who has scored in the first seven rounds!"
“He’s just incredible!”
"We can't believe it. This is a 19-year-old player who has made history for Valencia and La Liga!"
Su Dong was also extremely excited after scoring the goal.
Both goals came easily and were scored effortlessly, but that did not diminish his excitement at all.
Scoring in seven consecutive games is the only one in La Liga this season! Ronaldo, Pandiani, Kluivert, Eto'o...
Too many famous generals failed to achieve their goal, but Su Dong finally achieved it.
Of course, this also relies on Valencia's overall strength. Aimar and Vicente's assists are really powerful.
To the extent that for a ball like this, Su Dong felt that if he didn't score, he would be too ashamed to face anyone!
In the end, in the second half, Marchena assisted Vicente to score a goal, and Valencia defeated Espanyol 4-0 at home.
After winning seven consecutive league games, Valencia continues to top the table.
