The strongest winger

Chapter 468

Before the game, the Chelsea players were holding back their energy. In any case, they couldn't let Aiello break the single-season scoring record of the UEFA Champions League created by him last season.

But it never occurred to him that Ai Luo had no idea of ​​resolving the battle on his own, because Joaquin was already on the right, so he didn't need to delay the battle. The team's victory is the most important thing.

So when Chelsea's defensive players saw that Ai Luo chose to pass the ball instead of choosing to shoot or break through, they were a little dull and didn't know what to do next.

So, Joaquin went directly to the penalty area and looked up at the center of the penalty area. David Villa followed up at high speed, so he swept the ball to the center of the penalty area without hesitation. David Villa fell to the ground and shoveled the ball into the far corner of the goal before Carvalho.

2:1
Long-lost cheers sounded from the Mestalla Stadium.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL—"

What followed was the passionate sound of goals coming from the Mestalla Stadium radio, which drove the fans in the entire stadium.

At the same time, Hyde slammed the table in the commentary and shouted, "David Villa scored twice, he helped the team lead Chelsea again!"

And other Spanish commentators said excitedly: "The second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals can be declared over, because it is impossible for Chelsea to score two consecutive goals in the remaining time..."

Indeed, a time can be seen on the big screen above the Mestalla Stadium, 88:13
A time of despair.

In other words, the time left for Chelsea is only 5 minutes.

If it is replaced by Chelsea with a neat lineup, this may still be possible, but now that this team is full of wounded soldiers and lacks fighting spirit, it is unlikely.

※※※

After David Villa scored his second goal of the game, the fans in the stands were very excited. They all knew what this goal meant, which meant that they would enter the semi-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League!
They don't think that the current Chelsea has the ability to score two goals in less than 5 minutes and reverse the game.

Of course, the bigger reason is that David Villa's goal maintained Valencia's record of home wins in the UEFA Champions League this season.

After Valencia's celebration goal, it just reached the last second of regular time, and then the fourth official raised the 3-minute stoppage time.

In other words, the time left for Chelsea players is only the last 4 minutes.

If there is one person who is still struggling on the Chelsea field, then only Iron Man Lampard.

Role model.

But no matter how hard he works alone, he can't bring back the decline of a team.

The 3-minute stoppage time passed quickly. With the referee's two short and one long final whistles, the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals came to an end. Valencia defeated Chelsea 1:4 on aggregate and advanced to the semi-finals.

According to their division, the opponent in the semi-finals continues to be a team from England, a Liverpool with the best record in the history of the Champions League!
"The game is over, the game is over! After Valencia advanced to the Champions League semi-finals last season, they reached the Champions League semi-finals again this season. Their opponent in the semi-finals is Liverpool from the Premier League!"

At the end of the game, Huang Jianxiang couldn't wait to explain the score.

However, thinking that Aiello did not score a goal in this game, he said with a little regret, "Although Valencia's entry into the semi-finals was the expected result, it is still a bit regrettable for us, because Aiello did not score a goal before the end of this game, breaking the UEFA Champions League single-season scoring record he created last season, which is very regrettable..."

Hyde's closing line for the game was as follows: "The game is finally over. Valencia has once again advanced to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Compared with last season, their lineup this season is more complete. They are fully capable of winning Liverpool and entering this season's UEFA Champions League final!"

"Indeed! In the first round of the semi-finals, our vice-team Baraja will also come back from the ban. Ballack and Albelda are in good form. Similarly, there are strikers in extraordinary form like Ai, David Villa and David Silva on the forward line. The chances of defeating Liverpool and entering the Champions League final are very high..."

……

"The match at the Mestalla is over."

Meanwhile, at Anfield, Ayestrom walks up to Benitez and says.

Benitez asked, "Was it Valencia?"

His assistant, Aye Strong, nodded and went on with his work.

It's just that what Ayestrong didn't notice was the rich expression on Benitez's face.

After the game, Lampard found Aiello.

"Can I exchange jerseys?"

Facing a midfielder he once liked very much, Ai Luo directly took off the jersey and handed it to Lampard.

Due to being double-killed by Valencia in the home and away games, Lan was not in a good mood, so after exchanging jerseys with Ai Luo, he took advantage of the situation to encourage him and then walked to the locker room.

Although Aiello did not score a goal in this game, he assisted a goal and supported a goal. It can be said that without his existence, these two goals of Valencia would no longer exist.

Therefore, as soon as the game ended, the fans in the stands, like the usual home games, the "Song of Ai" fluttered from the North Stand and gradually spread to the entire stadium.

Although the biggest contributor to Valencia's 2:1 home defeat against Chelsea was David Villa, who scored twice, but the mainstream European media seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, leaving all the reports on the characters describing Valencia's victory to Aiello.

"Marca": "In the two rounds of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Ai scored one goal and assisted two goals, helping the team eliminate last season's Premier League champion Chelsea with a total score of 1:4. With such an amazing performance, we have to look forward to the final result of the last team in La Liga in this season's Champions League..."

"Bild": "After Barcelona and Real Madrid were eliminated one after another, Valencia was burdened with the honor of the La Liga team. Unexpectedly, they have been moving forward under pressure. They beat Chelsea with two home and away scores of 2:1. Among them, the non-Chinese player Ai who contributed the most belongs to..."

"World Football": "Ai really lived up to his reputation as the World Footballer of the Year. After the amazing performance of last season, this season has also continued very well. Looking at his statistics this season, it can be perfectly seen that he scored 29 goals in 44 rounds of La Liga. He also scored 10 goals in 16 games in the Champions League. With such a brilliant performance, he has entered the ranks of superstars..."

The mainstream European media have all praised Aiello, and the Chinese media are naturally unwilling to lag behind.

The headline on the website of Wangyi Sports’ real-time update website reads: “It’s the semi-finals again!! Aiello continued his performance in the last season very well. He scored 10 goals in 16 games in the Champions League, and his Valencia also benefited. They eliminated Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The goal was also his through Joaquin on the right, found a good pass, and finally David Villa scored another goal before the end of the half-time...”

However, Valencia's victory did not become the headlines of the mainstream European media that day.

Because the headlines are dominated by another game.

Manchester United beat Roma 7-1 at home.

The single-game score of this game is the largest margin of victory in the knockout rounds after the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League.

It is worth mentioning that after the publication of the newspaper headlined by the mainstream European media headlined by Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to send a text message to Aiello, and the two met at the top of Athens.

As someone who has been there, Ai Luo naturally knows that this year's final does not belong to Manchester United, but it is not easy to hit his friends, so he directly replied: I will wait.

Under the praise of the Spanish media, Valencia ushered in the 30th round of the league rival Sevilla at home on the weekend.

In this game, Valencia did not send all the main players. Among them, David Villa, Ballack, Albelda, and Ayala all got a rest, because in the middle of the week they will usher in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at home, but for them, the opponent is not very strong.

All I can say is, be prepared.

同样参加了欧洲联盟杯1/4决赛次回合较量的塞维利亚在这场比赛当中也没有派出全部的主力，因此主场作战的巴伦西亚依靠大卫·席尔瓦在全场比赛第69分钟的一记远射破门，帮助球队1：0小胜塞维利亚。

In the other two games played at the same time, Real Madrid and Barcelona also defeated their respective opponents, and the points gap with the top Valencia remained at 14 points and 15 points.

But with Valencia's victory in this game, the hopes of Barcelona and Real Madrid's reversal to win the championship are also much smaller, because in the remaining eight rounds, Valencia only needs to win four of them, and this is based on the premise that Barcelona and Real Madrid will win the next league.

This is an epic and difficult task for the two traditional European giants.

The odds of a reversal are very small.

But what is good for them is that Valencia will have a heavy task in the next game. First, they will face Deportivo on Thursday at home in the Copa del Rey semi-final, and then they will be a guest at the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid on the weekend.

Chances for Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But for Valencia, this is a time of choice.
