The strongest winger

Chapter 455

The previous rumors of Aiello's transfer were at most just media hype, and there was no actual development, but now it is different. Aiello's agent Papa Adrian actually met with Chelsea's CEO Kenyon at this critical time. What will happen?
It is estimated that many people can imagine it with their toes.

Coupled with a photo of Kenyon and Papa Adrian clinking glasses in a restaurant, this is even more suspicious. Under what circumstances do they clink glasses?Isn't it just after reaching a cooperation agreement that we will clink glasses?
After the official website of the "Daily Mail" broke the news, those Valencia fans began to panic. They all knew that Valencia was able to top the league table and also advanced to the quarter-finals in the Champions League. Whose credit is this?

This is all linked to Ai Luo's outstanding performance!
So many fans took banners and slogans to demonstrate near the club's office building. Among them, the slogan "The club has no money, we can raise funds, I hope we don't sell Ai!" is the most eye-catching.

Fans know that the team with Aiello and without Aiello are completely different teams. They hope to make the club keep Aiello through their own efforts. Although they also know that the hope is slim, their subconscious mind tells them that they must do so.

The die-hard Valencia fans who came to London with the club held a sit-in at the team's hotel to hope that Aiello would express his opinion.

Similarly, because of the sudden emergence of Ai Luo's transfer rumors, it also indirectly affected Valencia's preparations.

You must know that they will challenge Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night. At this critical time, they cannot be disturbed by other things.

Therefore, Ai Luo had to communicate with the club, and then held an urgent press conference in the hotel where he was staying.

Although this press conference was held very impromptu, there were quite a few reporters participating. According to visual inspection, at least a hundred reporters poured into a conference room of more than 100 square meters, of which Chinese reporters accounted for about a quarter.

And those reporters who were not present also maintained their attention to this impromptu press conference.

As for the PR staff of those wealthy clubs, they are also very concerned. After all, this is related to the signings this summer. Aiello's strength has been verified by the top European leagues, and he is a practical and future player.

In other words, the clubs that want to buy Aiello don't have to worry about the team's goals in the next ten years.

Of course, the 1/4 or so Chinese reporters are the most excited. Although they are not as professional as the European reporters, they also know the value change of Aiello if he transfers to Chelsea!
London, the world's number one financial center alongside New York!

They don't think that Valencia, which is across the sea from Barcelona, ​​can have as much influence as Chelsea, which is in the center of London.

Moreover, under the investment of the Russian rich man Abramovich, this team has become the top giants in England, and it is completely qualified to accommodate the god Aiello. More importantly, Chelsea can give a transfer fee in line with Ai Luo's worth.
So when the club's press officer Mercedes Uri announced the start of the temporary press conference, the reporters from China were extremely focused.

But Ai Luo's first sentence made them feel collectively discouraged, "Thank you very much for your attention to my future, but what I want to let everyone know is... I came from Valencia, as long as the club does not abandon me, then I will stay here forever..."

Ai Luo's speech at the press conference really discouraged many media, especially the Chinese media.

Where there is sorrow, there will naturally be joy.

The local journalists in Valencia headed by Enrique Wein are representatives of Xi. They are basically Valencia fans. Aiello can announce that the future will be in Valencia, which naturally makes them very happy.

Although many reporters were a bit disappointed to hear Ai Luo's statement, there is still hope for reporters with strong thinking, because Ai Luo said that as long as the club does not abandon him, he will stay in Valencia, but the problem is that Valencia is currently in deep financial crisis.

The so-called selling Ai Luo alone, preserves the foundation of Valencia.

This is not impossible.

That night, in the two games at the standard kick-off time of the UEFA Champions League, AC Milan was tied 2-2 by Bayern Munich at home, while Eindhoven, who eliminated Arsenal and entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League, showed their inexperience in the European war.

The Chinese international Sun Xiang of the Eindhoven team came off the bench in the second half, but he is only a defensive player, and it is difficult to help the team when attacking. However, the overall performance is still remarkable, and he has completed the defensive task assigned to him by the head coach Koeman.

On the second day, that is, the second match day of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the atmosphere in the Valencia team was obviously much better than yesterday, and the atmosphere in the team was also optimistic.

Looking at the happy players, Flores also has great hopes for winning Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this time.

When the game is approaching, the team does not conduct training, but only conducts simple passing and catching games on the training ground provided by the Chelsea club, and the amount of exercise is not large.

The reporter's eyes were vicious, and he could tell at a glance that the atmosphere in the Valencia team was very different from last night.

It seems that yesterday's impact on Valencia has disappeared without a trace in the temporary press conference.

This is not a good thing for the media in England!
A Valencia full of combat effectiveness poses a serious threat to Chelsea's promotion path.

"Jose, will it really work to limit Ai's right-footed shot?"

The players were warming up at Stamford Bridge, while Villas-Boas and Mourinho were discussing the final tactics with Mourinho in the home team dressing room.

Mourinho shook his head. He did not hide anything from his most trusted assistant. "There is no perfect tactic, only the best players. What we can do is to limit his performance as much as possible, not completely, because this is not shown at all. For players of this level, we can only rely on our players' on-the-spot performance..."

A player of this level?
Boas fell into a short period of sluggishness. Could it be that in the eyes of Jose, this Chinese has become the world's top player?

"Then what about this game? Is it really necessary to play three midfielders at home?"

Boas frowned and looked at Mourinho.

"No, this is our home court. To be precise, it is a quick counterattack!" Mourinho said with raised eyebrows.

……

The 10-minute warm-up time passed quickly, and the players who handed in Chelsea's starting 11-man squad also returned to the locker room.

Everyone has great respect for Mourinho, who is strong and pays attention to protecting his players, so after everyone returned to the locker room, they did not make too much noise and tidied up their equipment and image in a low-key manner.

Five minutes later, all the players were ready and stood directly opposite Mourinho with serious expressions.

They all know that this game is very important. They underestimated their opponents in the second round of the 1/8 finals, almost being dragged into overtime, and also lost points in the league one after another, so before this game, the players did not dare to take a breath.

"Guys" Mourinho clapped his hands, and the players immediately turned their attention to the past, "We must win the upcoming game, so I hope everyone will have a correct attitude. The targeted training in the past few days should also be effective, so..."

Mourinho habitually reminded the players of the importance of this game, and then began to explain the tactical play of the game later. After all, the offensive and defensive drills were almost done a few days ago, and only need to deepen the tactics before the game.

……

Compared with the tense atmosphere in the home team's locker room, the visiting team's locker room is much more relaxed.

Flores did not ask the players too much, but only told them to pay attention to defense.

Because in this kind of knockout match, only good defense can guarantee not to be eliminated, so it is necessary to avoid conceding goals and strive for away goals.

As for why we only pay attention to the defense of the players, it is because Valencia's offense never needs to be worried, because with Aiello, the team's offense will always be reassuring.

For the Champions League quarter-finals first-leg match at Stamford Bridge, the stands were packed. The UEFA Champions League logo was hung all over the stadium, and most of the stadium was filled with fans of the home team wearing blue jerseys. The unified and loud singing added a sense of strength to the stadium.

The Valencia player was greeted at Stamford Bridge as soon as he stepped onto the pitch.

Shocking boos resounded through Stamford Bridge.

Especially when Aiello's name was read on the radio, the boos were the loudest.

So Ai Luo curled his lips, turned his head and said displeasedly to David Silva next to him, "David, do you think these guys are trying to seek abuse again?"

David Silva looked up at the large poster hanging above the player tunnel, and said with a smile, "But the poster on the stand is quite creative."

It was a comic book version of the poster, with the blue lion stepping on Aiello wearing the No. [-] jersey.

"Later I want them to cry!"

Ai Luo clenched his fist and said.

"Hey, I will help you unconditionally, Ai!"

David Silva lightly hit Ai Luo's ribs with his right elbow and smiled.

"Haha, I will too, Ai!"

That's what David Villa said.

"Good brother!" Ai Luo said cheerfully, holding David in one hand.

……

After the Champions League theme song, the handshake session, the captain guessing the ball and other links, the game was about to start.

Aiello stepped on the football with his right foot, David Villa was next to him, and his eyes were on the Chelsea goal 55 yards away, because... that was his ultimate goal in this game!
Goal! ! !
