This season''s performance of Chinatown is completely beyond everyone''s expectation, including Alpine. In the first six rounds, it has won six games in a row, and has played an amazing momentum. In the sixth round, the striker michu scored seven goals, leading the scorer list.
But that was contained in the seventh round of the league.
Influenced by the two-week national team match, the state of Chinatown was obviously interrupted. In addition, Otamendi and other international players rushed back and forth, which made the team perform very low in the seventh round away game against Hercules. Michu also did nothing in the whole game and made no contribution.
But Chinatown still showed very tenacious, in the case of two times behind, two times equalizing the score, left back alba and French midfield Schneiderlin played a key role, both are a pass and a shot, to help the team away to take a point.
Colombia''s hamis Rodriguez received a second yellow card in the 81st minute and was sent off by a red card, while aldereld was also sent off by a red card in the 83rd minute.
But Hercules''s situation is not good, when the striker Trezeguet also received a red card.
There are three red cards in a game, and the referee''s law enforcement is generally questioned after the game.
A week later, the eighth round of La Liga, midfield home against Atletico Madrid.
The performance of the bedspread team this season is not very ideal. Simone''s team is invincible in the Champions League, but it has ups and downs in the La Liga League. So far, it is only ranked fifth, but the overall strength can not be underestimated.
The two sides played hard at the butake stadium, and the final goal was the advanced goal of Atletico Madrid. In the 77th minute, right back Danilo of China city received a red card, which made China City receive three red cards in two rounds.
Fortunately, at the end of the game, Schneiderlin broke the ball in the midfield and then counterattacked to help Mitch score an equaliser. Finally, he drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid at home.
From six wins in a row to two draws in a row, China City ushered in the first round crisis of the new season. In particular, it received three red cards in two games. Coach bochetino''s complaint to the referee was also severely warned by the Football Association, which put great pressure on China city.
In particular, Real Madrid and Barcelona have made great progress in this period of time, winning in succession and rapidly narrowing the point gap. Real Madrid reversed China city and reached the top of La Liga with the advantage of goal difference, while Barcelona only lagged behind the two teams by one point, ranking third.
In the ninth round of La Liga, Chinatown will challenge Xihong away.
China City, which suffered two draws in a row, was elated at last. In the first nine minutes, michu assisted Hames Rodriguez to score and take the lead.
After that, China City suppressed Xihong athletic all the way, until in the second half, Hames Rodriguez sent out a fatal goal, obamayan pushed the goal in the restricted area and expanded the score to 2-0.
In the end, China City beat Xihong athletic by two goals, and finally stopped the continuous draw.
In the 10th round of La Liga, China city returned to its home stadium to welcome Athletic Bilbao.
Just six minutes after the opening, the home team made a mistake. The main center of Bilbao athletic, luerente, forced Otamendi to head the ball and score, leading the score. The Basque lions concentrated on the defensive counter attack tactics in the away game.
This puts Chinatown in a mess.
But at the critical moment, michu received an assist from Hames Rodriguez to level the score and score his 10th league goal of the season.
Near the end of the first half, Schneiderlin took another step to reverse the score to 2-1.
The French midfield has made great progress with the team''s performance this season. Especially in midfield, he has become the best player of the team for several consecutive rounds. His characteristics of both attack and defense make him another rising rookie in the Spanish League.
After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, the two sides were still very stuck, but Bilbao athletic defender ortenece received a red card in the 78th minute and was expelled by the referee. China City scored two goals in the 84th and 90th minutes by virtue of the number of players. The goal was scored by obamayan and debrouane, who came on the bench.
In the end, the midfield beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at home.
After this round of battle, China City reversed Real Madrid with the advantage of goal difference, once again reached the top of the La Liga table and won the praise of the media and fans all over the world, while Barcelona ranked third by one point.
Michu, who scored ten goals in ten rounds, is still at the top of the scorer list, but Real Madrid''s Higuain, Barcelona''s Messi and Bilbao''s Llorente are all catching up, and the gap between them is getting smaller and smaller.
Messi, in particular, has scored eight goals.

The night of November 13, Barcelona, Spain.
In the 11th round of La Liga, Chinatown is away to Barcelona.
This is the second match in La Liga and the third match in La Liga this season. It is also a match between two teams with deep cold mark, which has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
As the match of Manchester City was held one day earlier, and there was no match in the middle of the week, the team had a holiday and went back to Spain with his wife and children to supervise the focus game in person, hoping to cheer for China city.
Real Madrid''s away challenge to sporting Xihong was also one day earlier than that of China city. They beat sporting Xihong one-to-zero away and won three valuable points, temporarily surpassing China city and ranking first in the Spanish League.
Barcelona''s lineup in this game is not neat, the main center back pique is suspended, Argentina''s center back Milito is absent due to injury, resulting in a shortage of defensive personnel, but Guardiola''s team is still firmly in control of the ball in the Nou Camp.
Bochettino is still very brave in the away game, taking the initiative to put pressure on Barcelona, and has achieved quite good results in the tactical level.
In the 26th minute of the first half, Harvey made a direct pass, and after Messi''s successful anti offside attack, Pedro scored an empty goal.
But just after Barcelona took the lead, Chinatown kicked off again and soon gave a counterattack. After continuous cooperation from the left, Azar went to the side, Alba crossed, and michu pushed Puyol to head the ball to level the score.
After that, the two teams were very glued, the rhythm was very fast, and they fought against each other.
What really changed the game was that in the second half, with the consumption of China city''s physical strength, the restrictions on Messi and Ibrahimovic had to be weakened. After that, the two big stars began to give play to their advantages in personal strength.
In the 58th minute, Harvey sent out a free kick. After Messi and Ibrahimovic hit the wall two times in a row, the right side of the small restricted area volleyed to break the goal. De GEA could do nothing about it.
It can be said that the goal of China City hit very big.
After that, Barcelona continued to launch a crazy attack on China City, but until the 83rd minute, there was another pass from Harvey. When Ibrahimovic started to hit the goal, he was blocked by Otamendi, and Messi followed up with a supplementary shot.
Alpine in the stands to see straight shake his head, "in the final analysis or inferior ah."
Although Chinatown''s performance this season is very eye-catching, in terms of overall strength, it is inferior to such powerful teams as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, especially Barcelona, which is too strong.
After the opening, Chinatown has been very passive. Barcelona had a ball control rate of 75% for a period of time. That is to say, Chinatown has been completely disarmed, but what''s more terrifying is that this team has also carried out quite well in the aspect of closing down and oppression.
China city''s defense is good, but Barcelona''s pass success rate has reached 87%. What about China city?
Only a pitiful 75 percent, a new low this season.
"Harvey, Iniesta, Ibrahimovic and Lionel Messi are the main stars. They are excellent stars. Bochettino''s tactics are not wrong, but we can''t stand it. You see, we will be unable to resist after 50 minutes."
Technical director cantarello''s words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head and pointed to the core of the problem.
In terms of overall tactics, China city does not necessarily lose, but the strength of the players determines the situation on the field.
As a young guard, every player in Chinatown is selected by Gao Han himself. There is no doubt about his potential, but not his strength. For example, Azar, Gao Han is very optimistic about his future, but he is only 19 years old. Can he hope to fight against Puyol?
"To tell you the truth, I was psychologically prepared to lose before the game, but I always had a little bit of fantasy in my heart, thinking about whether Barcelona would make any mistakes or not, but the result was still not good. Guardiola''s team is too stable to believe." Gao Han exclaimed.
"Yes, according to the current situation, the Champions League dare not say, but I''m afraid it''s difficult to have a team to compete with them in La Liga. Real Madrid have been very strong recently, but they are still not as good as Barcelona." Cantarello analyzed.
This season''s Atletico Madrid performance has declined. If there is no accident, the title will be born between Real Madrid and Barcelona. China city has only been running with them from the beginning.
"If you lose, you lose." "We should get out of the shadow of the defeat of Camp Nou as soon as possible, even learn from it, restore our morale as soon as possible, and continue to play in the Spanish League, especially in the next round," Gao said
In the 12th round of La Liga, China city will return home to welcome Valencia, which will also be a hard fight.
If the team can''t get out of the downturn as soon as possible, it will be very dangerous to play Valencia in the next game, and the ranking may even further decline.

…………
The battle of the Nou Camp ended with a 3-1 defeat for Chinatown. The unexpected expectation of the outside media and fans did not appear. The absolute gap in strength made Chinatown lose in the Nou Camp stadium.
Coach bochettino also admitted at the post match press conference that the team was inferior, but he also said he was proud of the performance of the Chinese city players.
"At least in the first 50 minutes, we were on a par with Barcelona."
For the defeat, bochetino said the team should not think too much, the most important thing is to sum up the experience and lessons, concentrate on preparing for the next league, he is confident that the team can quickly out of the shadow of defeat.
After this round of battle, Real Madrid led the La Liga Championship alone, followed by Barcelona by one point. Chinatown was three points behind Real Madrid, ranking third. Atletico Madrid and Sevilla had the same points, six points behind Chinatown, ranking fourth and fifth respectively.
The only harvest is michu, the Spanish player scored 11 goals in 11 rounds of competition, to lead Messi by one goal, continue to lead the Spanish League scorer list.
Just after the game, on the way back to Madrid, cantarero received a phone call.
"Things are in trouble." The technical director said helplessly after answering the phone.
