The strongest winger

Chapter 310 Little Devil's Schedule

******
After spending the last day of 2005 with his family, Aiello started the first day of 2006 with his family.

After having lunch on New Year's Day, he embarked on a flight back to Spain, and it was already noon on the [-]rd when he arrived in Valencia.

It is worth mentioning that during the winter break, Valencia cleared out Kluivert, Canela and the 30-year-old Delos Santos, who had no chance to play last season.

The most notable one is that Real Madrid has made two position adjustments. Since Ronaldo strained his calf muscle in the last game last year, Real Madrid urgently spent 550 million euros to buy Cassaro, known as the "bad boy" from Rome.

On the defensive line, it also spent 800 million euros to bring Cicinho from Sao Paulo to make up for Salgado's position.

Like other small clubs, there are also small troubles, which are small supplements in some positions, that is, patching. Valencia and Barcelona have not supplemented personnel.

Therefore, the entire Spanish media has reserved their own views on whether these two clubs can continue to support the intensive schedule in the second half of the 05-06 season.

In fact, it is no wonder that Valencia did not replenish personnel, because the current chairman Soler's construction company has problems and insufficient funds, so there is no money to invest in the transfer market to supplement the team's lineup.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, did not replenish personnel because of its recognition of its own strength.

******
On the morning of the [-]th, Ai Luo came to the training ground early, but on the first day he returned to the team after a short vacation, he was not allowed to join the team's training immediately.

Instead, he took part in a physical examination by team doctor Hernandez.

The results of Ai Luo's test once again surprised the team doctors Hernandez and Flores. The trapeze for ten days in a row not only did not make Ai Luo's physical condition worse, but had a stronger trend than before.

This result is also one of the reasons why the two are confused.

So Ai Luo was quickly allowed to join the team's joint training.

The end of the winter break has already indicated that the team will start to accelerate in the second half of the season.

At the same time, it is also announced that the team has entered the devil's schedule in January!
On the 1th, I will go to the Calderón Stadium to play a league game with Atletico Madrid, and three days later I will go to Madrid's satellite city Getafe and Vallecano to play a King's Cup 8/[-] final, and three days later I will return to home against the league opponent Osasuna.

In the middle of the week, the 1/8 finals of the second leg of the Copa del Rey will continue, and then four days later, they will depart from Valencia in the southeast of Spain to Seville in the northwest to challenge Real Betis.

Fortunately, at this time, the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals with Manchester United have not yet started, otherwise... the schedule will be more intensive!
At the same time, the team does not have any injuries now. On the contrary, the Brazilian international Edu, who joined for free before this season, can already train with the team, but it is only because he has not yet adapted to the team's tactical play.

Because Baraja and Albelda, the midfielder partner, have played for half a season, it is inevitable that there will be minor injuries in the second half of the season. In addition, although Viana, who is on loan, is stable, he is not his own person after all.

******
Before this round of the game, some journalists with good deeds brought out the fact that at the last moment of Mestalla last season, the referee awarded the home team Valencia a penalty, which caused Atletico Madrid's three points in that game to become one point.

Want to pick out the contradictions between the two sides!
Although the head coach of Atletico Madrid has also changed from Ferrando to Bianchi this season, the enthusiasm of these reporters has not been weakened, because this time they are targeting Aiello who fought for the team's penalty kick at the end of the game.

But at this time, Aiello seemed very smart, and did not answer the questions of these reporters who provoked the incident positively, but praised the Atletico Madrid team very sincerely, without saying a word.

His answer also forced these reporters to cancel their plans to make a big fuss about Ai Luo's language problems, and instead focus on Ai Luo's competitive state, because they all know what Ai Luo has done during the winter break.

At the same time, Atletico Madrid coach Bianchi expressed his confidence in the game.

Although Atletico Madrid is currently ranked eighth in the league and is 18 points away from Valencia at the top of the list, his remarks made the whole team full of confidence in the future game!
Therefore, the home team played extra devotion in this game at the Calderon Stadium, which is comparable to Spain's World Cup qualifier against Slovakia at home.

The former Chelsea star Kežman, who transferred to Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the season, has been running in the first half of the season. In this game, the tacit understanding with the team was fully reflected. He assisted captain Torres to score a goal in less than 10 minutes.

However, after Valencia relieved this breath, the strength gap between the two sides was exposed.

Before the end of the first half, Aiello and David Villa scored twice to take the lead.

In the second half, Aiello continued to maintain his excellent form after changing sides and scored another goal, which finally fixed the score at [-] to [-], regaining a seven-point lead over Barcelona, ​​which played the first game yesterday.

Ai Luo also used his excellent state to prove that his competitive state has not changed because of becoming a trapeze, and it is still at the peak level.

After the game, Flores once again publicly praised Ai Luo, but these are nothing new to the Spanish media, because Ai Luo's performance has always been good.

So we can only wait for Ai Luo to be in a bad state, and only then will the value of the news be reflected.

Sometimes it is like this, when a player does not score consecutively, and then suddenly breaks the scoring drought, he will be praised, but if a player scores consecutively, as long as he does not score in the middle of the game, he will be chased by a lot of media.

So these reporters are waiting for this moment, especially the "Mundo Deportivo" from Catalonia!
Juan Carlos has been waiting so hungry and thirsty!

******
The 1/8 final of the Copa del Rey to be played in the middle of the week has become the focus of these reporters, because when most players are resting, only Aiello has become a trapeze.

Therefore, his competitive state can be maintained, which is also a problem.

Picking bones from eggs has long been a favorite of journalists.

Among them are the "Mundo Deportivo" and "Daily Sport" from the Catalan Autonomous Region, and the "Aspen" in Madrid.

Of course, there are tabloids like the Times of Madrid and the City Herald, hoping to make a big hit with these two-point stories.

They've even programmed Aiello into a slump for reasons.

But it is not without good news for Valencia.

After they finished the away game against Atletico Madrid, they can take the bus directly to Getafe, a satellite city of Madrid, where Valencia will start the 05/06 finals of the 1-8 Spanish Copa del Rey and challenge the second team Vallecano away.

At the same time, this game is also Valencia's first Copa del Rey match this season.

Before the start of this game, everyone was generally optimistic that Valencia could beat Vallecano in the away game, but in fact this was not the case. The team's style of play is similar to the traditional Spanish style of play, mainly based on pass control.

Therefore, Valencia played with a semi-main lineup in this game was relatively hard. The home team Vallecano took advantage of the home court and played inextricably against Valencia, which is currently ranked first in La Liga.

In the words of Hyde, the head commentator of Valencia's No. [-] Sports Channel, "My God, is this Vallecano team really a West Second Division team? I thought the two sides exchanged jerseys and were playing the game!"

Fortunately, Flores made a decisive decision in the second half. While strengthening the defensive strength in the middle, he also strengthened the high press. Vallecano, who has been struggling for a long time in the second division, was obviously half a beat slower in responding.

During this period, Valencia showed superior strength. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, the substitutes Aiello, Ferrer and Aimar scored three goals in a row, directly killing the second round of the game.

In the end, in this game, Valencia defeated Vallecano with a big score of 4:0 in the away game. While winning the first round, it also declared that it entered the quarterfinals ahead of schedule.

******
The No.20 league round at Valencia's home court afterwards can be said to be the focus of this round of La Liga. The attention is second only to Real Madrid's home game against Sevilla. La Liga leader Valencia faces Osasuna, one of the biggest dark horses of the season.

In this game, Valencia's main players are all out. After all, there is basically no suspense in the Copa del Rey match in the middle of next week, and it will still be a home game. As long as Valencia does not play match-fixing, there will be no five-goal loss at home to Vallecano in the second division team.

Taking a step back, if they lost to Rayo Vallecano by five goals at home, all Valencia players would have to commit suicide, otherwise it would be shameful!
This season's biggest dark horse did not show its dark horse qualities at the home court of the leader Valencia. Aiello scored twice in the first half and had an assist to help the team lead Osasuna by three goals.

So this result was unexpected by all the media paying attention to this game.

It is worth mentioning that in this round of Real Madrid's home game against Sevilla, Zidane staged the first hat-trick of his career.

In the second round of the Copa del Rey 1/8 final in Valencia in the middle of the week, Valencia adopted a full bench lineup, and the absolute main players like Aiello and Albelda even sat directly in the stands.

In the end, Valencia drew with Vallecano 2:2 at home in this game, and advanced to the quarter-finals with a total score of [-]-[-].

At the same time, it also represents the temporary end of the little devil's schedule after the start of the second half of the Valencia season.

PS: Thank you Lao He for the two monthly tickets!
