The strongest winger

Chapter 928
Before the start of the 2010rd round of La Liga in the 2011-23 season, the Madrid media and the Valencia media had a quarrel because of the different players they supported.

However, no players from both sides joined in, but the media from both sides spat at each other on the Internet.

Prior to this, Ai Luo posted a message on his personal social network in China: "I believe the Chinese fans are very happy at this time, right? The Asian Cup championship is a New Year's gift for you in advance. I hope everyone will have a smooth career in the new year, everything will be fine, and Chinese football will reach a higher level."

In just 1 minute, the official Weibo posted by Ai Luo has been reposted tens of millions of times. Fortunately, the new wolf Weibo has been prepared in advance, otherwise the network is likely to be busy during this period of time...

From this perspective, we can also see the huge popularity of Aiello in China.

As time goes by, Ai Luo's Weibo has created many records, such as the most retweets, the most comments, the shortest and shortest time, etc...

At this time, many fans are still reminiscing about the Asian Cup championship won by the Chinese national team in Qatar.

Over the weekend, Valencia's visit to the Calderon Stadium attracted the attention of the whole of Spain.

Atlético de Madrid lost at Camp Nou in the last round. They are sitting at home in this round and they will definitely do their best for this game, because only by winning can they gain the upper hand in competing with Villarreal and Sevilla for the fourth Champions League spot, otherwise they will miss the UEFA Champions League next season.

Real Madrid coach Mourinho and Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola are very concerned about this league, because only Valencia drop points away, they can further reduce the points gap between each other.

At this time in the league, we can only hope that Valencia will take the initiative to make mistakes, otherwise, when the league is coming as a guest at Mestalla, neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid will have the confidence to win.

There's no other way but to hope...

But the result was not what they hoped to see. Aiello, who scored a hat-trick at the Bernabeu last week, was in good shape and continued to face another Madrid team. He staged a hat-trick again in the second half and led the team to beat Atletico Madrid 4:2 at the Calderon Stadium.Valencia were minus seven points and eleven points behind Barcelona in the first game.

It is a bit of a pity that Real Madrid and Barcelona both won the subsequent league games. The absolute core players of the two teams, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, both scored goals and contributed one goal each.

Compared to Aiello's hat-trick in the focus match, the performances of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi pale in comparison and are not worth mentioning.

Since both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi scored only one goal in this round of the league, the goal gap between Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi narrowed to 11 goals and 6 goals respectively.

Aiello's strong state against strong teams has convinced many Valencia supporters and Aiello supporters that he will reverse Cristiano Ronaldo and become the league's top scorer before the end of the league.

Of course, Ai Luo did not make any remarks during this sensitive time.

Aside from his personal relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, as the recognized number one star in football today, he also has his own arrogance.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were left behind by him from his first day in football, and he will be left behind for the rest of his career!

After defeating Atletico Madrid in the away game, Valencia coach Carlo Ancelotti took out the schedule and looked at it. The pressure on Valencia in the next two games is not great.

But after the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final in Copenhagen, it will be more troublesome, and it can even be said to be difficult, because their next league opponents are Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona.

Although the strength of Athletic Bilbao is not particularly strong, their home atmosphere is very scary. They belong to the kind of team that is strong when they are strong and weak when they are weak. They often play the role of giant killers in La Liga.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have lost quite a few games at the San Mames Stadium, home of Athletic Bilbao.

Now this outstanding Valencia has also become the target of this very Bacchus national team!
Moreover, Valencia is playing consecutive away games, flying across the north and south of Europe, flying from Copenhagen, Denmark to Basque Country, which requires very high physical fitness for the team.

Coupled with the fact that after Valencia's away game at Athletic Elbao, they will play the national derby against Barcelona at home. In the comparison of the points difference between the two teams by four points, no matter which team it is, three points cannot be ignored.

In other words, the winner of this game will most likely win the La Liga title this season.

Therefore, Ancelotti is still a little worried about Valencia's results.

However... Reminiscent of Ai Luo's excellent state, he is full of confidence in Valencia's performance in the next month.

On February 2th, Valencia sat at home and ushered in the league before the Champions League. They defeated Sporting Gijon with a big score of 20:7 at the Mestalla Stadium with Aiello's senior four at home.

Aiello led Valencia to one of the biggest margins of the season as he personally narrowed the goal gap on Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is a pity that both Real Madrid and Barcelona won the game later, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick.

In the past 24 league rounds, Cristiano Ronaldo topped the league scorer list with 41 goals, followed by Messi with 37 goals, and Aiello ranked third with 32 goals.

What is interesting is that Neymar, the fourth-ranked Villarreal striker in the league, only scored 14 goals.

That is to say, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Aiello form the first group of shooters, and the remaining shooters form the second group, which is basically the same as the current league standings.

巴伦西亚24战22胜2平积68分高居，联赛榜首，巴塞罗那24战21胜1平2负积64分紧随其后，皇家马德里24战19胜3平2负积60分排名第三。

Ranked fourth is Villarreal, with 15 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses with 50 points, 18 points behind Valencia at the top of the list, and eight points less than Real Madrid, which ranks third, which is equivalent to losing hope of competing for the league title.

As for the fifth-ranked Atletico Madrid and the sixth-ranked Sevilla, the gap is even further...

European mainstream media can only describe the three teams of Valencia, Barcelona and Real Madrid as the "Western Super Group" that exists in La Liga.

At this time, the three teams of the Western Super League Group will also focus on the first round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals in the middle of the week.

However, the Champions League 1/8 finals are a test for Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Real Madrid is about to face Lyon, which is known as the "Real Mark Star", while Barcelona will face an even stronger team, the Red Devils Manchester United coached by Ferguson.

The UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals where Manchester United played Barcelona at home was also rated as the most interesting game in the Champions League knockout rounds this season, because they were their opponents in the Champions League final last season.

Although Manchester United lost an absolute superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo after winning the Champions League, the Manchester United coached by Ferguson should not be underestimated.

Manchester United's ability to reach the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons is by no means as simple as having Cristiano Ronaldo!
Of course, Valencia is not easy either.

The strength of Copenhagen is naturally incomparable to that of Valencia, but they occupy the home court advantage. The weather in Copenhagen in February hovers around 0 degrees, and it may snow at any time. This is a difficult environment for Spanish players who are used to mild weather.

In fact, the Valencia players had trouble at their home stadium Parken in Copenhagen. They always felt that something was missing when they played in this kind of weather.

Fortunately, Aiello's personal status continues to be very good. His two goals helped Valencia take away a victory in the away game, which can be regarded as half a foot past the 1/8 finals of the knockout round.

Another focus battle at the same time also decided the result. The former Lyon bully Benzema scored two goals in his home team to help Real Madrid beat Lyon 3:1 away.

When the game ended, there were many Real Madrid fans in Madrid who were overwhelmed with excitement. As the most successful club in the 20th century, they were unable to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for six consecutive seasons. This was a serious blow to their reputation.

fortunately……

The next day, the Valencia team flew directly from Copenhagen to the Basque Country to prepare for the weekend's league match with Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames Stadium.

And the UEFA Champions League 1/8 focus match at Old Trafford that night also kicked off. Manchester United, whose strength has plummeted this season, just relied on the advantage of home court to beat Barcelona 3:2.

Mascherano and Fletcher were also sent off for accumulating yellow cards. The combined number of yellow cards from both sides contributed as many as [-], which shows the tragic degree of this game.

But this has little to do with Valencia, who are preparing for the game at the training ground provided by Athletic Bilbao.

Still, most of the attention up and down Valencia will be on the Clasico at home to Barcelona next weekend, as that is a game worth six points.

A win over Barcelona at home would take Valencia's lead to seven points.

Because in the case of the same La Liga points, the relationship between the two sides is first looked at, and then the goal difference is looked at.

In other words, if Valencia beats Barcelona at home and away, then the league championship this season will be close to ten...
