The commentators in the commentary box, sideline reporters and other people who were paying attention to the Spanish El Clasico were stunned when they got the starting lineups of both sides.
Soon, they realized that they had been tricked We all agreed before the game to do our best to cope with the El Clasico.
Could it be that the two sides of the competition communicated in advance?
Of course, this is impossible.
In fact, the two sides really want to have a real battle in this Spanish El Clasico to prepare for the next two important rounds of the Champions League semi-finals.
After all, last season's El Clasico results did not reflect Real Madrid's true strength.
Mourinho had just taken office not long ago, and many of his players had just been bought back.
The running-in period had not yet passed, and they lost to a more mature team.
Valencia is a very normal result.
However, after careful consideration before the game, Mourinho decided to abandon this weekend's Spanish El Clasico after detailed discussions with assistant coach Faria, thus focusing on defending the first leg of the 2010-2011 Champions League semi-finals at the Bernabeu in midweek.
When Mourinho first announced his plan, fellow Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo refused.
He believed that as a professional player, he should put in all his efforts for every game, especially the game with Aiello. , he doesn’t want to give up even an almost insignificant league game.
In this case, the good man Faria privately had some exchanges with Cristiano Ronaldo on behalf of Mourinho, analyzing the stakes of the two games.
It was very unfair to still prepare for the El Clasico when there was basically no hope of the league championship.
Sensible behavior, and Valencia will definitely choose to play from the bench.
At that time, the game will become the Chinese version of Tian Ji Horse Racing.
It would be inappropriate to neglect the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals for the sake of the illusory league championship.
On the contrary, it will increase the chance of losing the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not the kind of player who is not good at thinking, otherwise he would not be able to reach his current heights, because the difference between ordinary players and superstars lies in whether they can use their brains when playing football.
The smarter the players, the better they understand.
Think, know when to show weakness, and know when to give the other party a blow.
The home team Valencia has no team that threatens it except Real Madrid in the remaining six rounds of the league.
Even if it loses to Real Madrid at home, Valencia coached by Ancelotti will still be the winner.
Because Valencia's main players who play as substitutes at home can have more rest time and recover more physical fitness, thus focusing on the more important Champions League semi-finals.
There will be a greater chance of getting crucial away goals, and it is very possible to even win the game.
Thinking of the legendary Champions League, no one will continue to invest 100% in order to win more than half of the league championship.
You must know that the current Valencia team is very different from the Valencia team four years ago.
In addition to Ai Luo, David Villa, David Silva, Albiol and Wang Xiaolei, the main internal framework , have never felt the taste of the Champions League championship, so when they are so close, they will naturally get closer to this feeling.
Just like when you pass by a certain street and hear familiar music, you will always get closer subconsciously.
With both teams focusing on the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals next week, it is normal to field substitutes in this almost irrelevant league match.
It's just a pain for those media workers who are eager to do something big.
Although media workers were very dissatisfied with this choice of both sides of the game, fans on both sides were not surprised.
With only six rounds left in the league, no one would believe that Valencia, which leads Barcelona and Real Madrid by nine points and ten points, will win in the remaining games.
Four consecutive losses in the game Therefore, next week there is a more critical first leg of the Champions League semi-finals for both sides.
It is also a normal choice to give up this El Clasico appropriately.
However, Valencia coach Carlo Ancelotti was a little disappointed when he got Real Madrid's starting lineup.
He was full of smoke before the game.
He hoped that Real Madrid would also send its main players to the game, and then the Champions League semi-finals will be held in the middle of next week.
There will be a big advantage in the first round.
What a pity In the end, the much-anticipated and disappointing El Clasico ended in a 2:2 draw.
It is worth mentioning that these four goals were all scored in the last 20 minutes of the second half.
Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo, who came off the bench, both scored twice, showing good competitive form.
In the end, the media reporters were not disappointed.
Because Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo both showed excellent competitive form.
I believe that their hot competitive state will continue well into the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next week.

Barcelona defeated Zaragoza in the league later, thus reducing the league points with Valencia to seven points.
However, neither the European mainstream media nor the world's mainstream media believe that Barcelona still has a chance to win the league championship, because Valencia's remaining opponents are all teams that are easy to deal with.
So the news reports the next day did not focus on Barcelona narrowing the gap between them, but focused on the Spanish El Clasico that ended last night.
Of course, the focus is not on the substitute lineups sent by both sides.
European mainstream media have consciously focused on reporting on the amazing competitive state of Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo, paving the way for the Spanish El Clasico in the Champions League semi-finals.
The headline of Gazzetta dello Sport said: "The much-watched Spanish El Clasico will be played in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals next week.
The two sides of the match have a tacit understanding and expected choice to send their full lineup to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals."
It is a very sensible choice to prepare for the round, but this kind of headline-grabbing behavior disappoints the fans who are paying attention to this game."
"The last El Clasico in La Liga this season was disappointing, but the second half gave us a feast for our eyes.
Ai and Cristiano Ronaldo showed their amazing competitive form.
I believe that the Champions League semi-finals at the Bernabeu next week will be very exciting.
Wonderful” from France Football "Let us look forward to the Champions League version of El Clasico next week.
Will Real Madrid defeat Valencia at home, or will Valencia continue its good unbeaten record against the top European clubs this season, excluding the Copa del Rey?
Let’s wait and see.”
