The strongest winger

Chapter 252 Post-match focus
******
The game quickly entered the last 15 minutes of the game, and Mancini also replaced the poor Adriano with Cruz not long after Aiello scored the second goal of the game.

Although Adriano was very dissatisfied with being replaced early, Mancini seemed very indifferent, so Adriano, who was off the field, did not high-five Mancini standing on the sidelines.

And this scene happened to be captured by the director of the Mestalla Stadium, and those idle commentators also began to talk freely, explaining the discordant scene that appeared on the sidelines of Inter Milan.

Of course, Mancini, who was in the game, didn't know about this. He focused all his attention on the court. After Cruz came on the court, the team's offense improved significantly by two or three levels, and the offense began to blossom.

Therefore, the Italian commentators and Inter fans were not dissatisfied with Mancini's replacement of Adriano, but felt that he should have replaced him earlier, because now it has reached the end of the game, and the physical strength of the players has declined significantly. After all, Inter Milan just ended their away trip to the domestic league three days ago.

The physical demands are very high.

Instead, before the end of the game, Ai Luo used a counterattack opportunity to break into the penalty area. When he was about to take a shot, he was pushed to the ground by Materazzi who came from behind.

The referee on duty awarded a penalty kick and a red card without hesitation.

It is worth mentioning that after Ai Luo won a penalty for the team, David Villa, the team's first penalty shooter, wanted Ai Luo to take this penalty. He knew that records are very important to a Chinese.

Especially through the relationship of Ai Luo recently, he met a lot of Chinese reporters, and he also learned about the expectations of Chinese fans for Ai Luo.

How nice is it to end with a hat-trick in Aiello's Champions League debut?

But... Ai Luo refused.

His reason was very simple. He said to David Villa: "Hey...David, penalty kicks, which are unskilled, are also suitable for you to collect statistics...I prefer goals in sports games! Haha..."

David Villa was already used to Ai Luo's jokes, so he didn't continue to persuade him. He knew that his teammate in front of him was a persistent person.

In the 2000 European Championships in the Netherlands and Belgium, Santoldo, who miraculously played three consecutive penalty kicks, did not continue the glorious moment five years ago this time. David Villa achieved it overnight.

The score on the field became 3:0
In fact, Aiello still had a chance to perform a hat-trick before the end of the game, but he responded to David Villa's header and kicked the ball back to the junction of the crossbar and goal post. Unfortunately, he missed his first chance to score a hat-trick in the Champions League.

"Oh my God, Mestalla's goal suddenly said 'no' to Ai Luo! If he had followed the advice of his teammates before, he would have performed a hat-trick, hey...God's tricks!"

Sitting in the studio, Huang Jianxiang sat down in disappointment when he heard the sound of 'bang' hitting the goal post from the stereo, obviously feeling extremely disappointed because Ai Luo did not perform a hat-trick.

In the end, Valencia beat the visiting Inter Milan 3-0 at home in this game.

After the game, Figo, who played against Real Madrid in the first half of this year, found Aiello and exchanged jerseys with him.

"Haha, you played really well in this game! Just like the game at the Bernabeu! Come on!! I believe you can become a great player!"

Figo took the jersey from Ai Luo and said with a wink.

At this time, Ai Luo seemed a little embarrassed. After all, he habitually touched the back of his head for such direct praise from others, "Then I will accept your words!"

Figo smiled, had a shabby word with Ai Luo, and left.

******
Although Figo left, before Aiello had time to enjoy the first Champions League victory with his teammates, he was surrounded by a swarm of reporters. They all eagerly wanted to know how Aiello felt now, especially those idle ball-painful reporters who provoked the anger between Adriano and Aiello before the game.

Ai Luo won the first UEFA Champions League game in his life. Naturally, he was in a very good mood. He also treated the reporters without hesitation, and his excitement was beyond words. "I am very happy that I scored twice in this game to help the team win the game. As for... it is a pity that I didn't score a hat-trick, but this is life..."

In the face of questions about the war of words between him and Adriano before the game, Aiello was more cooperative, "Just like Juan Carlos put pressure on me in the league, he (Adriano) also put enough pressure on me. Only then can I have an excellent performance in this game. It is not what you think. We have no conflicts..."

Many journalists outside of Spain could not understand what Aiello said, because the story of Aiello and Juan Carlos was only known in Spain.

After interviewing Aiello, these idle ball-painful reporters teamed up with local reporters in Valencia, and wanted to run over to ask Adriano in front of the Inter Milan bench to see if he knew who Aiello was, but found that the other party was already gone.

In fact, as early as when Mancini replaced Adriano with Cruz, the latter walked directly into the locker room without even high-fiving the head coach Mancini, so Adriano stayed in the locker room until the end of the game.

He seemed to be able to predict the future, so he did not stay on the visiting team's bench.

In the end, these reporters had no choice but to interview Materazzi who threatened to let Aiello know 'why the flowers are so red' before the game. Regarding the aggressive reporters, Materazzi did not lose his composure, "It is normal to win or lose a football match, but I want to remind you, don't be too happy... In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, we will wait at San Siro. When the time comes... our great Inter Milan will definitely win!"

The Italian reporters who heard Materazzi's heroic feat immediately burst into joy, and couldn't help but think of the result of the fifth round of the Champions League group stage-Inter Milan beat Valencia at home.

What a beautiful picture!

Just thinking about it makes me very excited! !

******
In the post-match press conference, the head coaches of both sides tacitly avoided all problems other than the game on the court, and the personal judgment of the players is enough.

Just like Ai Luo, who was the best player in the game, was only praised by Flores without pain.

But later, when the reporter interviewed Mancini, the latter praised Aiello surprisingly fiercely, "Valencia is a great team. There are many powerful players in their team, just like Ai in their team. I am amazed at the speed of his growth. This game is not so much lost to Valencia as it is lost to Ai..."

This is a very high evaluation. After all, football is an 11-person team sport. If the opposing head coach beats a team with one person, then there is only one possibility. This player's performance is really great!
Of course, Mancini has a deeper meaning that has not been expressed, that is, he is full of strong interest in Aiello, and he has decided to persuade his boss Moratti to buy Aiello after returning to Meazza.

Otherwise, if Ai Luo plays stably for one or two seasons, he will not be able to buy it if he wants to...

That is truly priceless!

******
On the second day of the game, Aiello's outstanding performance once again appeared on the front pages of major European mainstream media.

It was his third headline appearance in newspapers across Europe this season, the first in the UEFA Super Cup, the second when he scored a hat-trick away at Barcelona in the fourth round of the league, and this time it was the third.

"The first time we got to know him (Aiello) was when Real Madrid played against Valencia in the No. 04 fifth round of La Liga in the 05-20 season. I remember that Valencia was suffering five rounds of the next season. The team was also suffering from extensive injuries. They couldn't even make up the 18-man squad. The former head coach Ranieri had to choose players from the youth team, and finally Ai was selected..."

"...Like many teenage heroes who turned out, he scored a hat-trick at the Bernabeu and helped the team retreat. Then he was out of control. He scored 25 league goals in 15 rounds and miraculously climbed to the top of the La Liga scorer list. Finally, he helped the team defend the UEFA Cup. He shined brilliantly at the No.[-] World Youth Championship held in the Netherlands this summer. And the top scorer, everything about him is like the mysterious China, full of mystery... This game is another two passes and one shot to help the team get a good start in the new season of the UEFA Champions League at home..."

Comments from the UEFA Champions League column of "Insight into Offside".

"For an Italian sports media, Inter Milan's loss is not unjust. Regardless of the team's own offense and defense, Valencia's performance in this game is a classic. In the few threatening offenses, it seized the opportunity that should be seized. In addition, the performance of the Chinese boy Ai in this game is amazing. Both individual performance and team performance are classics. Scoring twice is the best compliment for his efforts. Boy... We are waiting for you in Turin in December."

A summary of the headlines of the "Torino Sport".

England's "The Times" also fully affirmed Aiello, "Ai is a very talented player and a very hardworking young player. I once appealed to the owners of England, you must spend a lot of pounds to bring him to England, but...but no one listened to me. Look...the top scorer and best player in the World Youth Championship are still improving. If you want to get him in the future, I believe you will have to pay a greater price..."

"Before this game, when Adriano, the 'king' of Inter Milan, was interviewed by this newspaper, he said that he didn't know who Ai was. I think he should know who he is now? Another thing that makes people confused is Materazzi, who is known as a 'villain', and threatened to give Ai a good look.
