The strongest winger

Chapter 442 "Revenge"

A 2:2 draw with Inter Milan in the away game did not make it easier for Flores, because they will continue their away trip, first of all, they will challenge their opponents in the 24th round of the league at the weekend-the newly promoted Tarragona.

And there is a Copa del Rey quarter-final to be played in the middle of the week, but fortunately, they have already defeated Osasuna 1-4 at home in early February, and it should not be a problem to advance to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Everyone expected that Valencia's last two games at the end of February would be easy.

But these two games were not easy for Valencia.

They were first tied 1:1 by the newly promoted Tarragona in the away game. If it weren't for Aiello's header, maybe they would have suffered their first away league defeat, and then lost to the home team 1:4 in the second round of the King's Cup quarter-finals at the El Sardar Stadium, and suffered their first defeat of the new season.

This result is very bad for Valencia, who is aiming to win the Triple Crown this season.

Because they will start the second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals at home next week, and coupled with the media's induction, the atmosphere in Valencia's team suddenly became tense.

***
No one expected that Valencia would have a record of one draw and one loss in the two games at the end of February.

不单止在客场平了联赛副班长塔拉哥纳，而且还在国王杯1/4决赛次回合的比赛以1：0输给了奥萨苏纳，遭遇到了新赛季的首场失利，算上客场挑战国际米兰的欧冠1/8首回合较量已经三场比赛不胜。

It was supposed to be a strategic adjustment and an ordinary game, but it was abruptly publicized by the media as Valencia's competitive state plummeting, but let alone, what was narrated by the media really made sense.

"Since Valencia's 2:2 draw with the mighty Inter Milan in an away game, they seem to have entered a vicious circle. They drew away with Tarragona, the deputy squad leader of the league, and then lost to Osasuna, whose state has plummeted in the new season. Is this really Valencia? All three goals were scored by Ai, which means that if he is not in these three games, Valencia's game results will be quite bad..."

"As for Valencia relying on Ai's personal performance, it will make them very passive in the second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals. That is to say, Inter Milan only needs to defend him to death, and then they can free up time to participate in the offense. Perhaps, it is really possible to capture Valencia, which has maintained a complete victory at home this season..."

With the in-depth research of the media, "Gazzetta dello Sport" helped Inter Milan, which had lost its advantage, disrupt the enemy's situation.

Indeed, when the new issue of Gazzetta dello Sport sold well in Europe, those fans who supported Valencia became panicked, and as the fans panicked, some bad voices appeared in the Valencia team.

Because winning can cover up a lot of things.

Likewise, failure can make a lot of things happen to a team.

During the winter break, the team broke the news that the chairman had embezzled the club's funds without authorization, which was infinitely magnified at this moment, because it represented that many players' futures in the club were very uncertain.

For many players in the team, they regard the Valencia club as a company, but they are just part-time workers and do not have a deep relationship with the team.

According to the analysis of the media, it is very likely that Valencia will not be able to pay wages next season. Therefore, those players who have no sense of belonging to the club will naturally start looking for a way out for their future.

The mind is naturally not on the game, and it is normal to have state fluctuations.

So before the home game against Celta, the Spanish "Marca" broke the news that the agents of the players in the team contacted the senior management of other clubs.

***
In this context, Valencia ushered in Celta at home.

Before the game, many media were not very optimistic about the prospects of Valencia. After all, in a modern football world that burns money, no matter how good a club is, it is nothing without money, because there is only one Valeron in the world.

Although the team's morale was weak before the game, but fortunately they had the advantage of the home court. Amidst the cheers of 26 fans in the stands, Valencia relied on Aiello's pick-up pass from Viana, who came off the bench in the penalty area in the 1th minute of the second half, and scored ten yards away from the goal. Only then did they win the game with a score of 0:[-].

The media reports on the second day were not favored because of Valencia's victory in the league. Instead, they began to worry about the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals in the middle of the week.

"Although we won the victory against Celta Vigo at home, everyone needs to focus on the process of the game rather than the final result. In this 90-minute game, the ball possession rate of the home team Valencia was very rare compared to Celta Vigo in the away game. If Ai hadn't seized the opportunity in the second half of the game, it is still unknown whether Valencia can win the first victory in the past four rounds..."

"...Similarly, it should also be noted that the four goals scored by Valencia in the last four rounds were all arranged by Ai Lai. From another perspective, if Ai is in good form, Valencia can win or keep the team unbeaten. If Ai is not in good form, it will be like the second leg of the King's Cup quarter-final away game against Osasuna. Therefore, the Champions League 1/4 final in the second leg of the week is a bit dangerous for the home team."

A preview of the Champions League from "Aspen".

***
Under the exaggeration of "Aspen", the morale of the Valencia players became lower and lower. Fortunately, the head coach Flores and the general manager Caboni negotiated early, and a press conference was held in the afternoon of the "Aspen" publication.

Faced with the recently exposed problems, Carboni gave an ambiguous answer, "Although the team is currently experiencing a shortage of funds, it does not mean that we have no funds to invest in the preparations for next season, because several international giants have already asked about the possibility of buying out Valencia... and the negotiations between sponsors and partners will soon come to a result. Everyone here needs to pay attention to the renewal or change of sponsorship contracts. Do you still think that the club will be short of money?"

The reporters here are all thoughtful staff, knowing that if what Carboni said is true, Valencia will really come back from the dead. In recent years, it is nothing new for international predators to acquire football clubs, and as Valencia's performance is getting better and better, there is indeed no shortage of doubled sponsorship contracts.

In fact, Caboni was only half right. Most of the big bosses who came into contact with Valencia chose to give up because of the team's high debt. Only the team's advertising and sponsorship contract doubling is true, but they are all under negotiation.

What made him most gratified was the sponsorship contracts of several big Chinese companies, namely the jersey sponsor and the sponsor on the chest of the jersey.

***
After Carboni held a press conference on behalf of the club, the atmosphere of the team felt prosperous, and then the captain of the team held a small meeting with the players in private, so that the players in the team could feel relieved for the time being, because even if there is a situation where wages cannot be paid, it will be the next season, and it has nothing to do with this season.

Since the future of the team is like this, what is there to worry about?Play well and get a raise...

Even if you can't meet the salary increase requirements and get a good honor this season, won't you still have the capital to ask for a good salary when you go to the new club next season?

After the Valencia club solved the current urgent need, good things followed.

On Sunday, the 2006th round of La Liga in the 2007-25 season was over. The most surprising thing was that Barcelona lost 1:2 to Sevilla in the away game. This and Valencia won and lost, and the points difference was widened to 18 points. For Barcelona, ​​which is aiming to win the new season, it is undoubtedly a very unacceptable thing.

The points of Valencia and Barcelona have increased to 18 points, which can completely allow Valencia to fully focus on the UEFA Champions League and the Copa del Rey in the next game. As long as there are no consecutive losses in the league, then there should be no problem with the La Liga championship this season.

……

With the end of the weekend's domestic league and the approach of the second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals, the focus of mainstream European media has also returned to the UEFA Champions League from their respective leagues.

England's "The Times" mentioned that Aiello did not complete the handshake with Materazzi after the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final, and put forward his own opinion, "After the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final between Inter Milan and Valencia half a month ago, Valencia star Ai refused to shake hands with Materazzi. It will directly determine which team will advance to the quarter-finals, and the grievances between Ai and Materazzi will also be revealed in this game..."

The point mentioned by the "Times" was reprinted by many mainstream media in Europe, and Aiello, who was preparing for the second round in Valencia, Spain, naturally also saw the news.

After half a month of recuperation, the wound on Ai Luo's left brow bone has also healed, but he has no problem forgetting the elbow that Materazzi gave him, so he is going to show him some color in the midweek Champions League and let him know that not everyone can be easily 'offended'.

Of course, this is not an eye for an eye, but 'an eye for an eye'. Materazzi likes to use fouls to stop Ai Luo, so Ai Luo will use technology to humiliate Materazzi, because not every game The referee has a bad vision, so...
