On January 21st, Beijing time, La Liga powerhouse Valencia Club officially issued a statement condemning the behavior of some of their fans who insulted Real Sociedad players. Valencia officials stated that this behavior is unacceptable and should not exist on the football field or in society. Valencia Club also expressed in the statement that they are willing to cooperate with any requirements from relevant departments. If the identity of the individuals involved can be confirmed, the club will take corresponding measures, implementing strict disciplinary penalties, including expelling them from the Mestalla Stadium. During the last round of La Liga where Valencia defeated Real Sociedad 1-0 at home, some Valencia fans insulted and shouted offensive words at the Real Sociedad players warming up on the sidelines. It is reported that Japanese talent Takefusa Kubo of Real Sociedad became the main target of Valencia fans. Valencia fans shouted at Kubo, "Chinese! Open your eyes!" However, the introverted Kubo chose not to retaliate but continued his warm-up exercises, even showing a helpless smile. In response to the actions of Valencia fans, many netizens condemned, saying, "They deserve to be relegated, see you in the second division." "The arrogance of Europeans is in their bones, relegation is Valencia's only way out!" Currently, after 20 rounds of La Liga, Valencia has only accumulated 16 points and ranks second to last, facing a severe relegation situation. This La Liga veteran powerhouse is very likely to fall into the second division next season.

Once the dominant force in La Liga and known as the "Galactic Team," Barcelona now seems like a ship lost at sea, struggling amidst the turbulent waters of the Spanish league. At the start of the season, they were unstoppable, securing six consecutive victories and leading Real Madrid by nine points, making the championship trophy seem within their grasp. However, they have since fallen from the top of the leaderboard, even trailing behind Real Madrid by five points, a stark contrast that evokes a sense of pity. What has happened to Barcelona? How did this once vibrant and hopeful team lose its way? In the early hours of January 4th, a La Liga makeup match originally scheduled for November took place at Valencia's Mestalla Stadium. For Valencia, mired in the relegation zone, this was a battle to defend their home turf; for Real Madrid, aiming for the title, it was a crucial match to catch up with the top spot. The game unfolded more dramatically than anticipated, full of twists and turns. Valencia, playing at home, did not cower before the mighty Real Madrid but instead displayed remarkable fighting spirit. They lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Duro and Almeida forming the forward partnership, attempting to create problems for Real Madrid's defense with their speed and impact. Real Madrid countered with a 4-2-3-1 formation, led by Mbappe, supported by Rodrigo, Bellingham, and Vinicius in an impressive attacking lineup. After the match began, both sides engaged in fierce competition, neither giving ground. The game took a dramatic turn in the…

If you managed to turn around a game with a 2-1 victory, would you be happy? Yet, after winning against Valencia, Real Madrid was so furious that they metaphorically overturned the referee's "table" post-match. In the 19th round of La Liga on January 4, 2023, Real Madrid should have been the winner at the Mestalla Stadium. However, the focus shifted to the controversial refereeing decisions: a questionable goal, an ambiguous penalty, and a disheartening red card. Is it the referees' incompetence or is Real Madrid too sensitive? If this issue remains unresolved, the reputation of La Liga referees might only continue to deteriorate. Let's start with the first point of contention: Valencia scored their first goal in the 16th minute of the match. At the time, everyone was caught up in the joy of the goal, but many Real Madrid fans raised their hands shouting "something's not right"! Looking at the slow-motion replay, it is evident that Valencia players did indeed have a suspicious foul before scoring, yet the referee made no indication. We will not delve into whether the referee should have blown the whistle or not, but from this ignored foul, Valencia seemed to benefit covertly, while Real Madrid's nerves were gradually tightened. The turning point occurred in the second half. When the game reached the 62nd minute, Real Madrid earned a penalty kick, and everyone held their breath watching the ball. Karim Benzema, the leader of Real Madrid, stood at the 12-yard line, but he missed! Some attentive fans may recall that Valencia's goalkeeper appeared to move…

In the world of football, the referee's whistle often determines the direction of a match. However, in a clash between Valencia and Real Madrid, the whistle became the source of all controversy. Real Madrid faced multiple "unfair" decisions in this dramatic encounter, from overlooked fouls to red cards that sparked outrage, and the VAR's "mysterious silence." This ordinary La Liga match turned into a storm of controversy, leaving us to question: Is the referee the guardian of the game or the creator of disputes? The Mestalla Stadium, known as Valencia's "devil's home ground," has never shied away from tough battles, even against superpowers like Real Madrid. Despite a recent decline in performance, Valencia has managed two wins and two draws in their last five home matches against Real Madrid, losing only once. When facing Real Madrid, Valencia always brings their A-game, sometimes even exceeding expectations. The match started with Valencia showing great initiative, and in the 27th minute, they finally broke through Real Madrid's defenses. Duro scored during a quick counterattack, sending the crowd into a frenzy. However, slow-motion replays quickly plunged the goal into controversy—earlier, Rodrigo appeared to be fouled by a Valencia player during a challenge, but the referee took no action. This scene infuriated the Real Madrid players on the field, while Ancelotti, sitting on the bench, spread his arms and shook his head repeatedly. Was the referee really blind, or did they choose to "turn a blind eye"? No one could tell. In the second half, Real Madrid attempted to intensify their attack and finally earned…

In the first game of the new year, Real Madrid won cleanly against Valencia, securing the top spot on the leaderboard with a comeback victory. This is undoubtedly a cause for celebration, as who wouldn't enjoy seeing their team at the top of the standings? However, a closer look reveals that this victory was not as glorious as the score suggests. Vinicius Junior (referred to as Vinicius) was sent off with a red card due to an impulsive act, shifting the focus from the win to an "incident," and even sparking internal strife in the locker room after the match. Behind this, the role of Kylian Mbappé is particularly intriguing. Vinicius' red card, Mbappé's "advice," and the potential major cleanup at Real Madrid have all come together to create a "palace drama" within the football world. During the match, Mbappé repeatedly tried to dissuade Vinicius from losing control of his emotions. Many see this behavior as a display of leadership, as it takes courage to step up and prevent a teammate from acting impulsively in such tense moments. However, there seems to be more to his actions and subsequent statements. According to reports, Mbappé publicly stated after the game that he hopes the club will sell Vinicius. His reasoning sounds reasonable – the team needs more stable and reliable players. However, external interpretations are not so simple. Some analysts believe that this is Mbappé taking the opportunity to push out Vinicius and consolidate his position as the core of Real Madrid. After all, since joining Real Madrid, Mbappé has been…

Translation of the content: Today's matches are quite good, and there are a few that I can understand. Let me share my thoughts and provide some references! Excluding the Australian leagues and Ligue 2, the remaining popular matches are much more interesting. 009 Valencia vs Real Madrid. I mentioned earlier that Real Madrid might not win, which will definitely be questioned. Let me explain. Firstly, the relationship between the two teams is very subtle. Looking at their historical encounters from 23-24, both teams have one win, one draw, and one loss each. Real Madrid does not have an advantage. As to why they cannot crush even a rookie team, we cannot answer that question; it can only be said that the relationship is subtle. The odds are set low, with Real Madrid giving away one goal, lowering the threshold. It's not like the handicap is usually set at 1.5 goals; could it be that Real Madrid can't even give away two goals? This undoubtedly increases everyone's recognition of Real Madrid and adds to the betting enthusiasm. They don't even offer single bets, making people feel even more confident and bold. Therefore, in this match, Real Madrid has the favor of many, and everyone should support them. So I believe Real Madrid will pull off a surprise, which is very consistent with how institutions profit. Overall, this match is toxic, extremely toxic. 010 Nice vs Rennes. Why is the home win set high, followed by the addition of single bets? Nice has an absolute advantage in their encounters, with a very…
