The strongest winger

Chapter 283
******
The 11th round of La Liga held at the Love Song Stadium on the weekend was full of seats.

Compared with Villarreal's lineup for this game, Valencia's personnel adjustment for this game is a bit big. The two full-backs were replaced by Miguel, who was transferred in the new season, and the 40-year-old veteran Carboni.

At the same time, this game is also the first appearance of veteran Carbone this season.

Albelda and Aiello in the midfield were rested, and their positions were replaced by Rufete and Angulo respectively.

And the game ended up being 1:1. Alvarez and Senna, who vowed to control Aiello before the game, failed to fulfill their promises.

Because Villarreal, who played at home, once led for nearly 10 minutes, and Aiello didn't come off the bench until the No. 805 minute of the game.

According to Flores' original intention, he wanted Ai Luo to use the last bit of time to maintain the state of the game, and then meet the back-to-back UEFA Champions League in the middle of next week in a very good state.

But what I didn't expect was that the substitution was immediately effective. In other words, the substitution was like a knife change. The cooperation between Aiello and David Villa, who replaced Angulo, made the home fans couldn't help applauding.

All kinds of non-stop two-pass and one-pass cuts at the front of the Villarreal penalty area.

Finally, in the No.809 minute, the effect was achieved. With continuous wall-slamming cooperation at the front of the penalty area, David Villa sent the ball to the penalty area. Ai Luo suddenly accelerated into the penalty area and scored before Alvarez's defense.

At the same time, Aiello also expanded his lead in the scorer list with [-] goals in the league.

After this round of competition, many La Liga media discovered a strange phenomenon.

That is - dark horse in power!

After 26 rounds of Valencia, eight wins, two draws and one loss accumulated [-] points, while Osasuna ranked second!This is a big upset!And the third place is not Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but Celta!
Barcelona and Real Madrid, who won this round, only ranked fourth and fifth.

You must know that in five more rounds, La Liga will enter the winter break. This season's La Liga is too surprising!

******
Although the away game drew with Villarreal, the head coach Flores did not express dissatisfaction with it. Anyway, this game has already made plans for a draw, because his attention has long been on the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage against Porto at home in the middle of the week.

This is related to the team's income for the entire season, and it must be treated with caution!
After the league ended, Flores quickly shifted his work center to the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

According to the current group situation, as long as Valencia does not lose this game, the remaining two rounds of the group stage will be lost, and Porto will win all, and they will qualify ahead of schedule with the advantage of both teams' record.

Thinking of this, Marshal Flores seems to be like Jose Mourinho, who led Porto to win the UEFA Champions League as a dark horse in the 03-04 season, and then he went to the pinnacle of life with a successful salary increase!
Every time this time comes, Flores always feels a little excited in his heart!
Therefore, Valencia prepared for the game at the Mestalla Stadium relatively easily, and was not as nervous as before the third round.

Of course, with the exception of Aiello and David Villa, who participated in the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

The two worked hard as if the next game was a life-and-death battle.

Assistant coach Paul said to Flores gratifiedly, "I didn't expect Ai and David to work so hard...haha"

Flores nodded with a smile, "Otherwise we wouldn't lose just one game this season, right?"

"haha, yes!"

The two talked and laughed happily, and they were very happy, and they didn't pay much attention to the mentality of the other team members.

It's no wonder that since the start of the new season, Valencia has not experienced any setbacks. Successive victories over Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Nou Camp and the Bernabeu gave them the illusion that they are number one in the world except God.

Even veteran players like Albelda and Baraja are a bit light-headed.

So in an interview, when the team's vice-captain Albelda talked about the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, he said very high-profile, "It is no surprise that Valencia will win this game. Why? Because we are Valencia!"

The head coach Flores also said in an interview with reporters, "Since we have won three consecutive victories in the group stage, why not continue the winning streak?"

******
As a result, the news headlines that Valencia was scheduled to win the fourth round of the Champions League group match appeared on newsstands in Spain and Portugal with lightning speed.

Among them, the Spanish newspaper "Marca" that appeared in the streets of Portugal said, "The fourth round of the UEFA Champions League is about to start. Valencia, who is playing at home in this game, is full of confidence in the result of this game. When the head coach Flores and the team's vice-captain Albelda were interviewed by this reporter, they expressed their confidence in the victory of this game..."

The Portuguese local newspaper "Morning Post" expressed the concern of Porto going to the Mestalla Stadium this time. "After the three rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Porto ranked third with one win and two losses. It is six points behind the top Valencia and the No.2 Inter Milan. If this game cannot be won, then this season's UEFA Champions League will say goodbye to the former Porto in advance..."

Similarly, "Lisbon Daily" also expressed its own concerns, "Since Jose Mourinho left Porto, this team has begun to go downhill until the old coach Adrian Sai took charge of the coach again this season. More bad luck than good..."

Just before departure, Adrianse passed the multiple newspapers in his hand to the players one by one.

Although everyone was a little confused, they quickly opened the newspaper under the guidance of the teaching assistant.

After only 1 minute, every Porto player wanted to go berserk.

So, Adriense added fuel to the flames with a smile, "Guys, you've all been underestimated..."

Immediately, a crisp sound of clenched fists came from the locker room.

Adrian Se was very satisfied with the reaction of the players.

"Actually, the analysis of these newspapers is very reasonable. Our game is indeed a disaster, but! As long as we don't give up, nothing is impossible! Do you remember the match between Deportivo de La Coruña and AC Milan in the 03-04 season? Do you remember the match between AC Milan and Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League final in the 04-05 season? We are a disaster! But it does not mean that we will die immediately, we still have three rounds of competition!! As long as we win the last three rounds, we still have a chance!!!"

At the end, the old coach Adrian Sai blushed.

In order to win, it is also very hard.

"Yes! We still have a chance!!!"

The first one to break out was Ricardo Quaresma, who lost to Aiello in the last game. He has never been a person who admits defeat. Youdao means that if you have a bet, you are not lost. If you use him, you can't admit defeat if you still have a game!

"That's right!!"

"We still have a chance!"

"Never give up!!"

……

……

Adrian Sai nodded in satisfaction. He knew that there must be something to play in this game!As long as the players haven't given up, as long as they have full confidence in the next game, that is hope! !

As if...he has seen the team win three consecutive victories, and then enter the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League in the 05-06 season!

*******
Pre-match press conference.

When Adriance mentioned this game to many reporters, he said sadly, "Valencia is a great team. They have won the UEFA Cup for two consecutive seasons, and they are also ranked first in La Liga this season. When this team is at its peak, we know...Maybe our end in the Mestalla Stadium in this game will be as you said-more or less good! Indeed, according to the current state of the team, it is indeed more or less good, so...our game is aimed at a draw... "

Adriance's words made the local reporters in Spain very excited, especially the local reporters in Valencia. Several interns whistled.

It's just that they didn't notice the sneer under Adrian's sad expression.

Then the reporters also talked about Aiello and Quaresma in the last Champions League match. Adrianse first praised Aiello, "He (Aiello) is a very good player. His amazing performance made us ignore his age. Our biggest goal in this game is to control his performance as much as possible. Only by controlling his performance can we organize the attack with peace of mind..."

When talking about Quaresma, Adriense shook his head, "Although Ricardo is great,... he is still a little bit worse than Ai. On the contrary... this game is at the Mestalla Stadium. I believe that Ai's performance will be better than Ricardo..."

When Adrian Sai's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

If the previous ones were showing weakness to Valencia, then now they are admitting defeat alive!
After the visiting team's press conference was over, the reporters normally told Flores exactly what Adriance had said.

Of course...modification is essential.

After listening to the reporter's description, Flores was stunned for a moment.

Porto was timid before fighting!
It's not scientific...

Moreover, when evaluating the key players of both sides, they kept praising the opponent's players. If everyone knew that Adriance was the head coach of Porto, otherwise they would have thought he was the head coach of Valencia.

How can there be a head coach in this world who steps on his own players to praise the opponent's players?

Could it be... showing weakness?
But it was quickly vetoed by Flores, because there is no need for this in Porto now, right?They can lose to the team they coach at home. Is it possible that they still want to shake the sky at the Mestalla Stadium?
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket! !Believe that at this time, the Chinese team will also win, right?
