The strongest winger

Chapter 491 The Most Powerful Moment (Third)

Before this season's UEFA Champions League final, Valencia still has a league round, which is an away game against Mallorca, but this game is no longer in Flores' plan.

After all, the team has won the league championship this season, which means that the next league has no meaning for them. Instead of consuming unnecessary physical energy, it is better to train the players of the youth team.

Although this season's league is over for Valencia, it is far from over for Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​​​because they still have to fight for a place to directly qualify for the Champions League next season.

But no matter what the final result is, for these two world-class giants, failing to win the league championship is a failure!
Of course, there is still a competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The league championship is gone, but the second place in the league still has to be won. After all, it is about directly qualifying for the Champions League next season. No loss!
In addition to Valencia's announcement of the end of this season's La Liga, there is also a Copa del Rey final at the Bernabéu Stadium, but this game will have to wait until June 6, which is after this season's La Liga ends.

So their immediate goal is only to win the UEFA Champions League.

This season's UEFA Champions League final is about no burden for both sides of the game. Valencia has won the league championship four rounds ahead of schedule.

And AC Milan also deducted 2005 league points in the new season because of the phone gate incident that broke out after the end of the 2006-8 season. Now they are honestly ranked fourth in the league.

※※※

There are still ten days before the final of the Champions League. The mainstream media in Europe have reserved important pages for this season's European champion match. In addition to analysis or analysis, and the analysis is not the same every day.

"AC Milan's starting players can be said to be very experienced. Most of their players participated in the Champions League final two years ago, and some players even participated in the 02-03 season when AC Milan won the Champions League final. Valencia's team has experience in the Champions League final. It is estimated that only Canizares, Ayala, Baraja, Albelda and Ballack, but Canizares will definitely miss the final due to the red card, and it remains to be seen whether Albelda can participate in the final..."

A preview of the Champions League final from L'Equipe.

"So this is about the final of this season's UEFA Champions League. AC Milan has a slightly higher hope of winning the final championship. For Valencia to win this season's UEFA Champions League, there is still a long way to go, but it is not without chance. As long as their leading striker Ai is in good condition and there are no obvious loopholes in the defense, then the championship will be at your fingertips, and the Spanish club will become the first Triple Crown."

The content of other famous European newspapers is also different. For example, "Mirror", which is good at analyzing the data of certain games, looks at the problem from the historical records of both sides, but "Mirror" found a very interesting problem, that is, Valencia and AC Milan have never played against each other in football history...

"This Champions League final between AC Milan and Valencia is really difficult to predict, because they have no record of fighting in modern football. It is untenable to look at the problem based on historical records, so we can only look at the current league records of the two teams. But in this regard, Valencia has an absolute advantage, because they have not lost a game in the league this season, while AC Milan has only won four of the last ten rounds..."

"If you compare the data of the key players of the two sides, Valencia is still a few blocks away from AC Milan, because the core of AC Milan, Kaka, has only scored 190 sports goals in 7 shots this season, while Valencia's Ai has scored 253 goals in 34 shots this season. Ai's scoring efficiency is 10 times that of Kaka..."

However, after analysis and analysis, the final result cannot be analyzed, so both sides of the finals only made a reference to the data analyzed by the European media.

When the European media reported the Champions League final between Valencia and AC Milan in full swing, China far away in the east was even more speculative.

Because of the exact news from Valencia, although the team's No. 18 goalkeeper Butler has resumed training, the head coach Flores still chose the [-]-year-old Wang Xiaolei as the starting goalkeeper for this Champions League final, which means that there will be two Chinese players participating in this Champions League final!

Even if the result of the final is difficult to say, for Chinese fans, this is almost an insurmountable milestone, and the historical significance is very important!
At the same time, this has a very good promotion effect on the backward Chinese football!
Haven't you always boasted that domestic players are better?Then try to compare the gap with the Champions League final-level players?

It’s different now, the domestic fans’ eyes are all set, and you can often see young players from your own country playing in the top European leagues, so why would you still watch the news that makes you vomit blood?
Therefore, many domestic fans would rather choose to watch European top league videos about Chinese players at home than go to the scene to watch the Chinese Super League. That is to say, most domestic fans focus on foreign Chinese players.

In the minds of foreign clubs, the Chinese market is a favorite, even a fool will not give up the opportunity of free advertising!

As the days of the UEFA Champions League final drew closer, Ai Luo and Wang Xiaolei chose to take their families to Valencia in order to avoid their families being overly harassed by the media, and then went to Athens with the team before the game.

The chance of the Champions League final, which is rare in life, is naturally reserved for sharing with family members.

Of course, all of Ai Luo’s friends are also invited, and his bad friends will naturally not let go of the opportunity to travel abroad for free to watch football games. He Puqi was delayed because the venture capital company established in Silicon Valley last year acquired part of Apple’s shares, but he also guaranteed to appear in the stands of the Champions League final.

Since the UEFA Champions League final will be played against AC Milan in Athens on the 24th, Valencia's away game against Mallorca is the earliest game in the 35th round of the league.

It is worth mentioning that after Flores decided to make Wang Xiaolei the main goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League final, he was allowed to guard the goal in the two rounds of the league and the second round of the previous Copa del Rey semi-final. What Flores did not expect was that the effect was very good.

For Wang Xiaolei, Flores already has full confidence. He and Ai Luo are both competitive players. The more important the game is, the more amazing the performance will be!
So in this round of the Mallorca game, Wang Xiaolei faced the Mallorca players with 26 shots and 12 hits on goal. He rejected all four chances to score, which can be regarded as repaying the head coach for his promotion.

In addition to Wang Xiaolei, who has recently counterattacked, who has been given special attention, and captain Albelda, who has just resumed ball training with the team, is also in the ranks, because the media wants to know whether he is qualified to play.

From the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final at Anfield Stadium, we can see the importance of Albelda, who is usually not very visible, to Valencia.

If Albelda can make his comeback in the final in time, it will be like a shot in the arm for Valencia's supporters.

Coupled with the fact that Marchena, who caused a brawl in the Champions League 1/8 finals, came back from the ban, this was a great supplement to Valencia's defense. Before Edu was unable to regain his form in Arsenal, having a trustworthy Marchena was equivalent to having a backup defensive player who could play a big role.

If you look at the players in the frontcourt a little bit, it will be more complete.

David Villa's substitute has Morientes, while Aiello and David Silva have Vicente and Joaquin, a pair of super extravagant substitutes.

Therefore, "Marca" is quite optimistic about Valencia's prospects for winning the championship. "With the captain Albelda's resumption of training with the team and the return of Marchena, Valencia's lineup is close to perfection. I believe that this Champions League final in Athens must be a good journey for Valencia. You must know that they have been unbeaten in this season's Champions League for 12 consecutive rounds. The UEFA Champions League final at the Kestadion must belong to Valencia!"

Valencia's match lineup is indeed as reported by "Marca" and has gradually become perfect. Of course, except for the position of goalkeeper, it is still a bit risky. After all, Wang Xiaolei is only 18 years old. He is about to make his debut in the top UEFA Champions League final at such a young age. It is still unknown whether he will make mistakes due to nervousness.

But to put it another way, it's that Valencia are at their strongest right now as they prepare for the Champions League final...
