At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on January 9, a match in the 20th round of La Liga began to compete, and Real Madrid faced Valencia at home. Real Madrid have won 14, drawn 4 and lost 2 of their first 20 league games, occupying the top spot. Atletico and Barca have been too bad this season to pose a substantial threat to Real Madrid. However, Sevilla bites very tightly and is Real Madrid's most formidable title rival. Real Madrid have been in average form lately, with only 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat in 3 league games. Three days ago, Real Madrid played a Copa del Rey match, winning 3-1 against their opponents when Ancelotti made a modest rotation. This time, Real Madrid took on Valencia, and the two sides met in the fifth round, when Real Madrid won 2-1 away from home. Real Madrid, which returned home this time, won valencia again.
In this game, Real Madrid lined up in a 433 formation. Courtois served as the starting goalkeeper. Vazquez, Militão, Alaba and Mendy are paired at 4 backs. Modric, Casemiro and Kroos make up the 3 midfield. The combined attacking trident of Benzema, Vinicius and Asensio joined forces. Hazard, Rodrigo, Ceballos, Isco and Valverde sat on the bench.
Both sides had some chances after the game began, with Militang's header deflected by the goalkeeper and Guedes' long-range shot being confiscated by Courtois. As the game progressed, Real Madrid completely took control of the situation and launched a crazy attack. Benzema's long-range shot was deflected and Modric's powerful shot hit the crossbar. Toward the end of the half, Casemiro made a point that allowed Benzema to open the scoring with a penalty. In the first half, Real Madrid had 66.7% of the ball, 16 shots on goal, 4 shots on target, and scored 1 goal. Valencia, on the other hand, had only three shots on goal in the first half, two on target and failed to score.
Real Madrid scored in the second half with a high level of efficiency, with Vinicius scoring two goals in nine minutes. Although they were behind by a wide margin, Valencia did not give up, trying the offensive end and getting good chances in succession, but Courtois was very stable and defused the opponent's shot. However, Valencia seized an opportunity to score. Mendira sent a penalty and although Guedes' penalty was saved, he headed the ball in the top. Benzema turned around and fired a shot at the last minute to set the final score at 4-1, with Real Madrid taking all three points.
In his post-match whocored rating, Real Madrid's No. 9 Benzema scored a game-high 9.3 points, making a total of 25 appearances this season, making 30 goals, including 22 goals and eight assists. Such data is too godly, too anti-heavenly. I didn't expect Benzema to be able to kick such a dominant stat at the age of 34 and had to obey. After C Ronaldo left, Benzema completed his metamorphosis and became the strongest thigh. Vinicius also performed well, scoring two goals and scoring 8.9 points.
