The strongest winger

Chapter 424 16 points

When the entire European mainstream media was buzzing that Aiello was likely to be the third captain of Valencia, two pieces of news were mentioned in a very inconspicuous place in the Dutch "Telegraph".

"The wealthy team PSV Eindhoven and the Chinese team have reached an agreement to introduce the left back Sun Xiang from China's Shanghai Mythology to the club on loan. I believe that with the joining of this Chinese international, PSV Eindhoven will go further on the road to the Champions League this season..."

"It seems that after Ajax tasted the sweetness of introducing Tao Chen, the bronze ball winner of the 2005 Dutch World Youth Championship, the Eredivisie team seems to like to 'golden' in China. In addition to the above-mentioned Chinese international Sun Xiang who joined PSV Eindhoven on loan, Heerenveen seems to have become interested in Yu Hai and Yang Xu, who are only 19 years old.

The Telegraph Eredivisie transfer news.

However, these two pieces of news did not attract too much attention from Chinese fans, mainly because there were too many players associated with foreign teams this year, like Yu Dabao, who was only 17 years old at the end of last year, successfully tried out Benfica in Portugal, and Jiang Zhipeng and Wu Xi from Xu Gengbao's football base also joined the Valencia youth team smoothly, emerging endlessly!

There is no such excitement as before.

Because now Chinese football has Ai Luo, the active world footballer, and there are also players who can take on big responsibilities in the Bundesliga, Eredivisie, and Ligue [-]. Naturally, the appetite for raising Diao is not so easy to satisfy.

Before the 2006th round of the 2007-17 La Liga season away to Villarreal, Valencia held a press conference.

In addition to the club's head coach Flores and general manager Caboni, there were also Canizares, Albelda, Baraja and Aiello attending the press conference.

Seeing this lineup, the reporters present had almost guessed it!

Definitely announced Ai Luo as the team's third captain! !

"Since the first half of the season just ended, the team captain Canizares has expressed that he will no longer be the captain of the team, so the team will now determine the three captains of the team: David Albelda will become the first captain, the third captain Ruben Baraja will become the team's second captain, and Ai will serve as the team's third captain!!!"

After the announcement of the general manager of the team, Carboni, the media invited to the scene began to shoot wildly, as if there was no need to occupy the memory at all...

Sure enough, they guessed right!In order to retain this new World Footballer next season, the team has already started playing the family card!

Therefore, in this league match with Villarreal, Aiello played very well, as if the ten-day holiday during the winter break had no effect on him. While his opponents and teammates were still looking for form, he had completely entered the game state. He scored a goal in each half and helped the team beat Villarreal with two goals at the La d'Eau Stadium!
****
The next day, the Spanish mainstream media and some European media also focused on Valencia, who changed the captain in the new season.

Everyone is smart, so they naturally know that this is Valencia playing the family card.

However, major clubs still use offers to test Valencia's attitude, without exception, all offers were rejected, including Chelsea's offer of up to 5000 million euros!

Three days later, Valencia continued its away trip - Getafe, a satellite city of Madrid, will play a 1/8 final Copa del Rey match with Getafe.

However, for the sake of the team's weekend league, Flores still has reservations in this game. After all, the cup game is secondary, and the league is the main one, even if it is far ahead of the standings.

As soon as the UEFA Champions League knockout match starts in late February, Valencia will start a third-line battle. It is necessary to use the team's personnel reasonably. If the team's main players play too many games, it will inevitably cause excessive physical consumption. Excessive physical consumption will definitely increase the probability of injuries. Flores will definitely not do things that are not worth the candle.

Although the team has made reservations, Ailuo is still the main force, because now Flores is deciding whether Ailuo will play, and he has to ask whether he has the idea of ​​playing the game.

Ai Luo, who has just won the World Footballer, is full of strength and has a strong desire to fight, even if it is the King's Cup!
But he noticed that there is a 'Triple Crown' achievement in the achievement task in the system, and the reward is quite generous, it can be honored, and there are rewards, why not do it?
In the away game against Getafe in the 1/8 final of the Copa del Rey, the home team was quite tenacious, but Aiello took advantage of a direct free kick and scored the only goal of the game, helping the team win a small victory over the opponent and making a good start for the two-round knockout round.

****
After back-to-back wins away to Villarreal and Getafe, Aiello once again hit the headlines.

"Since Ai became the third captain of Valencia, he seems to be full of strength. He has personally scored all three goals of the team since 2007. For a young man who is only 20 years old, he still has such motivation after winning the World Footballer. It is really rare..."

"Marca"

"For most Chinese, 20 years old still belongs to the category of children, but for Ai, he already has too many titles, La Liga champion, Copa del Rey champion, Spanish Super Cup champion, UEFA Cup champion, UEFA Super Cup champion, La Liga and Champions League single-season record holder. ..."

Ai Luo put down a few newspapers in his hand and shook his head helplessly. In fact, he didn't dislike being the third captain of the team, but he was a little uncomfortable because the club wanted to use the captain to tie him up.

As a Chinese, the sense of belonging is quite strong. According to his plan, he prepared to stay in Valencia, but the club chairman unexpectedly broke out such a scandal, and he also used this method...

In fact, what Ai Luo didn't know was that this was for the club to keep the team full of competitiveness, otherwise the head coach Flores would not have gathered all the players of the first team together for a meeting in the first place.

At the same time, Valencia also needs to find a way to divert the attention of the media, and making Aiello the third captain is the best way.

Doing so can not only divert the attention of the media, but also play the family card subtly. Why not keep the new World Footballer of the Year Aiello in the team?
It's just that no one thought that this way of handling would create a gap with Ai Luo.

****
At the beginning of the winter transfer window, many managers and CEOs of wealthy clubs have approached Papa Adrian for tea, snacks, and nightclubs.

It's just that because Ai Luo became the third captain of Valencia, things became a little troublesome, and those clubs that were about to make a move in Valencia's crisis also temporarily dismissed this idea.

After all, these giant clubs have basically entered the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League. According to the UEFA Champions League's second-time registration rules, players who have already played in the new season's UEFA Champions League (even if it is a qualifying match) cannot represent the second team to register for the UEFA Champions League.

But for these wealthy clubs, the league championship is already difficult to satisfy them. Only the Champions League is their goal.

So we can only wait until the summer transfer window opens.

Of course, with the buffer period of these months, those clubs that are interested in Ailuo can also prepare a lot of money!

Because buying Aiello means that the club will not have to worry about scoring goals in the next ten years!Ai Luo's playing means that the team has a goal guarantee! !
Those clubs that were interested in Aiello did not continue to offer, so General Manager Carbone also knew that Aiello could continue to be used in the second half of the season. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His role in the team is irreplaceable!

Even though the club didn't have a lot of funds at this time, they could still persist until the end of the season by gritting their teeth, but... after the end of the season, it would be troublesome!

Originally, after Valencia just broke out and moved away, many owners who owned rubles, dollars and renminbi were very interested in this emerging Spanish giant club, but after learning that the club had nearly [-] million euros in debt, they basically scared away...

So if Valencia wants to continue to survive in Spain, the only way is to sell players after the end of the season.

As a result, General Manager Caboni fell into trouble again...

***
On the weekend, Valencia returned to the Mestalla Stadium to face their fellow city brother Levante. They scored four goals, and Aiello scored two more goals, which contributed a lot to the team's victory!
Since Valencia's game is the first game, it is now 16 points ahead of Barcelona, ​​so the pressure has fallen on Barcelona. The pressure on coach Rijkaard is quite high. The league has only progressed to the 18th round, and the team is 16 points behind Valencia, which is the top of the list. This is an unacceptable reality for any champion coach.

The team chairman Laporta has given him an ultimatum. If there is no harvest this season, then he can pack up and return to the Netherlands!

Therefore, the entire Barcelona team can feel a considerable pressure, and Messi, who has gradually become the main force this season, is also the same. He feels that he is not strong enough and has not directly helped the team like Aiello.

The players in this pressured game played very difficult away, and the rivals in the same city, the Spaniards, were fighting them desperately!
The Barcelona players playing under pressure seem to have become the same, making frequent mistakes. If there is one person in the team who is normal, it is Messi!

But how can the power of one person help the team?
Although he scored two goals alone, the team lost four times and lost to the Spaniard 4:2 in the away game!
In other words, Barcelona is already 16 points behind Valencia at the top of the list!
PS: Thank you Feixu's track for the reward and the fourth monthly pass of this month!By the way, I recommend "Football: Chinese Flying Wings"
