The strongest winger

Chapter 595 Valencia Fans' Beliefs ([-]rd)

AAIAIAIAIAIAIIIIIIIIII——
Looking at Ai Luo who refused to celebrate, the fans in the stands applauded collectively at this moment and chanted Ai Luo's name.

Ai Luo's behavior of scoring a goal in the face of his old team and choosing not to celebrate is easy to win the favor of fans, whether they are fans of the home team, fans of the away team, or neutral fans.

Since this is entirely a matter of one person's game, it is clear that Aiello's game is very good!
Hearing the thunderous applause coming from all directions, Ai Luo was moved. He raised his arms above his head, clapped his palms slightly following the rhythm of the applause of the fans in the stands, and then gave a high thumbs up to Joe Winnie, the leader of the "Bat Guard" who raised his poster to the north stand.

"Great Aiello! It's really rare to choose not to celebrate such a wonderful goal, especially the away goal in the Champions League quarter-finals. The meaning behind it is extremely important!" Huang Jianxiang changed his voice and changed the topic to the relationship between Aiello and Valencia: "Valencia is the place that cultivated Aiello, and it is also the place that witnessed him from an unknown person to a world superstar. He used this way to thank the team that trained him..."

"Just like what he said in an interview with reporters, he wants to tell everyone in the world that Valencia products must be high-quality goods. Aiello has fully proved this sentence. His scoring this goal is the best proof..."

This wonderful header scored by Ai Luo was a topic that the commentators in the studio talked about until the end of the first half. From the perspective of viewing, this goal can definitely be ranked as one of the top five goals in the Champions League last season.

If they were to choose the best goal, Ai Luo's goal would definitely be number one!

As for the biggest reason why Ai Luo's goal was discussed before the end of the first half, neither side scored again during this period.

Valencia, who conceded a goal, wanted to equalize the score, so Chelsea, who were playing away, consciously shrunk their defense and pushed Ai Luo in front of Valencia's defense, forcing them to have the desire to equalize the score, but they did not invest enough troops!

Although Mourinho's tactic looks a bit rogue, it works very well.

In fact, according to Valencia's current lineup, if they go head-to-head with Chelsea, they will most likely suffer a big loss at home!
Obviously, Flores, who has experienced the baptism of the Champions League for two seasons, has grown a lot deeper, and has more things to consider, but at the same time, it also makes him less courageous and timid. This is one of the reasons why Valencia did not dare to invest too much when it was behind.

During the 15 minutes of the intermission, Mourinho only had one requirement for the team, and that was --- defend the defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again.

Even though Valencia wanted to equalize the score, they were afraid of Chelsea's counterattack speed and efficiency. They never dared to invest too much offensive force, especially after Aiello hit the crossbar with a quick counterattack, he became even more timid.

The big man Zikic basically did nothing for nearly 10 minutes of the game, so he was replaced by the more experienced Morientes in the second half.

It is worth mentioning that when Zigic was off the field, he refused to shake hands with Morientes and head coach Flores.

The game went on until the 73rd minute of the second half before there was a change in the score, but it was not the home team equalizing the score, but the visiting team expanding the score...

At that time, it was Aiello's quick pass and flexible movement that caused the midfielder Baraja to make a mistake in his busy schedule. He tripped Lampard who was going forward. The referee on duty decisively awarded a free kick about 29 meters away from the goal.

For the referee to award a free kick to the away team in such a good position, the fans of the home team in the stands were quite upset!

Because on this field, they have seen Ai Luo send the ball into the opponent's goal many times through the opportunity of set kicks...

Although the fans of the home team hope that Ai Luo's set kick will miss the goal, in fact, idealism cannot go against the objective facts.

In order to deal with this nearly 30-meter free kick, Valencia put up a wall of four people.

Goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei reacted quickly, but he was helpless with the speed, power and angle of Ai Luo's direct free kick!
The free kick is like a cruising missile, going straight to the position between the post and the crossbar on the right side of the goal, which is commonly known as the absolute dead end!
Aiello's free kick stunt reproduces Mestalla!
Similarly, after scoring the goal, Ai Luo still did not choose to celebrate, but turned around and walked back to his own half after confirming that the football flew into the net, waiting for the opponent's kick-off.

Valencia fell behind twice, which left them with no way out. They had to fight hard. They conceded two away goals at home. They could imagine the consequences of going to Stamford Bridge in the next round with their toes...

Must score!

But...then Chelsea, who scored two away goals, set up a bus, which made the home fans very dissatisfied, and boos fell from the sky.

But... Which of Chelsea's players on the field is not seasoned?
So booing has no practical effect on them.

Coupled with the fact that Valencia conceded two goals in a row at home and Aiello's nuclear deterrence in the backcourt, it is normal for them to lose confidence in this game, which makes the offensive organization become impatient.

At present, David Villa, the top scorer in the Valencia team, played the role of center forward after Zikic left the field, but his physical fitness is not at the same level as that of Terry and Carvalho, and he soon got lost in the muscles...

Flores standing in the command area of ​​the home team could only shake his head with a wry smile. Facing a team of Chelsea's level, a powerful striker can play a prominent role, just like... Aiello who is currently wearing the blue No. [-] jersey!

Even though it's still 0:2, the Valencia players who are playing at home don't dare to invest heavily in the offense, because they don't know when Ai Luo will break out. When the time comes, the home team is three goals behind, that is... despair!
In the end, Valencia lost 0:2 to Chelsea at home.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the director of the Mestalla Stadium pointed the camera at Ai Luo, and then used technical means to push the camera to a close-up of the face.

Ai Luo pursed his lips in the camera, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

According to the usual team wins, he will definitely celebrate wildly with his teammates. A 2-0 away win is of great strategic significance, because as long as he returns to his home court in the second round, he can easily advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League as long as he maintains a tie or even loses a goal!

But at this moment, it seems that Ai Luo is not wearing the blue number nine, but the white number nine.

Taking a deep breath, Ai Luo walked towards his closest friend, David Silva, and then patted the latter squatting on the grass. When he turned his head, he stretched out his right hand.

David Silva subconsciously stretched out his right hand, stood up from the turf along Ai Luo's right hand, and at the same time clenched his left fist and lightly hit Ai Luo's chest: "Good boy, how dare you murder the old master!"

Ai Luo, who was originally in a heavy mood, was so troubled by David Silva, and the worry in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Thank you..." Ai Luo smiled back and punched David Silva.

"How about exchanging jerseys?" David Silva gave Ai Luo a blank look, and then took off his jersey.

After exchanging jerseys with David Silva, Aiello went to other former teammates and comforted each other.

Professional players have a good ability to adjust their emotions, especially after the game is over. Everyone knows that the end of the game means that the past cannot be changed, so negative emotions come and go quickly.

Under the leadership of David Villa, David Silva, Albiol and others, Aiello slowly walked around the four stands of the Mestalla Stadium, thanking the fans present.

"Ai ai ai ai - we will always love you!"

"Boy, tonight's game is awesome!!"

"It's a treat to watch you play, even when you're gone!"

……

Although the game has ended, none of the fans of the home team who came to watch the game were willing to leave. They replaced the slogans used in the game with the slogans they had prepared a long time ago.

"Ai, happy home!"

"Come on, Ai, you will always be our child!"

"No matter where you are, you are a Valencian hero! Forever!!"

"If you can't stay in other places in the future, Mestalla will always welcome you!"

……

Looking at the slogans held high by the fans of the home team, Ai Luo could no longer bear the suppressed feelings in his heart. Tears of emotion flowed down his resolute face, and finally intertwined with the sweat on his body.

As the player who scored two goals in this game and became the best player on the spot, Aiello was naturally the player who had the most shots. Therefore, his real performance made the commentators in the studio feel a little overwhelmed, especially Canizares, who was a guest commentator on Valencia's No. [-] Sports Channel.

"If he hadn't left Valencia, I believe it must be our Valencia who are celebrating at this time, because with him, the victory is everywhere, just like all the championships we enjoyed last season, but now we can only look up to others to hold the championship trophy. Ai's departure is not simply leaving, but leaving with all the trophies..."

In the past two seasons, Hyde, the head commentator of Valencia's No. [-] Sports Channel, has been hailed as Aiello's "brainless fan". At this moment, he also followed Canizares' words and said: "But I firmly believe that with Ai's belief in Valencia, I believe that in the near future, he will definitely return to this stadium and become the king here again, I believe!"

Canizares turned his head to look at Hyde in surprise, and found that the other party's expression was quite determined, as if he was not telling a joke.

Not only the fans who came to the Mestalla Stadium were unwilling to leave, but the Valencia fans who watched the live TV broadcast were also unwilling to turn off the TV. They all wanted to see Aiello's time at the Mestalla, even for a second.

When the fans watching the live TV heard the phrase Hyde said, "I believe that in the near future, he will definitely return to this stadium and become the past here again, I believe it!" 'After that, I clenched my fists subconsciously, and I was extremely firm in this belief!

Although they all knew it was impossible, they were all willing to wait!
We will wait, our king!
