The strongest winger

Chapter 861 The Four Heavenly Kings
There is a big gap between the starting lineups of the two sides in the warm-up match. Chelsea dispatched a full main lineup to test the team's competitive state before the start of the new season, and Valencia is three weeks away from the first league game of the new season. Therefore, Ancelotti's starting lineup is mainly young players led by captain Albelda.

The three Chinese players who are most concerned by Chinese fans all started, which made domestic fans feel a strong sense of satisfaction.

Aiello belonged to Chelsea's starting side in the first half, so Valencia paid great attention to Aiello's defense in the first half. Schneiderlin, who was the first layer of defensive protection in the middle, was still a little immature.

The entire first half can be said to be the performance moment of Aiello and right back Zhang Linpeng. After attracting enough defensive attention from the left, Ailuo can often be seen to pass accurately behind the young Alba.
So Ivanovic, who was sitting on the bench, felt a lot of pressure. Zhang Linpeng was younger, faster, more accurate in crossing, and had better talent. In addition, head coach Scolari expressed absolute trust in Zhang Linpeng in interviews with the media. Perhaps he should try to move to the center and play as a central defender. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to continue to occupy a main position in Chelsea as he is only qualified as a right back.

At the end of the first half the score was 3:1, with Chelsea leading Valencia at home.

In the second half, he changed sides and fought again. Aiello returned to the Valencia team and changed the situation again. He faced the national team teammates Zhang Linpeng and Mikel's marking very calmly and calmly.

Scolari made decisive substitutions and adjustments. The Brazilian Ramirez introduced from Benfica this summer replaced Malouda to strengthen his control over Aiello.

But his substitution did not have much effect. With the help of Mikel, Ramirez, who is full of energy and fighting spirit, can effectively limit Aiello's performance, but there are other players on the Valencia field who can create scoring opportunities, such as: Mata, Cazorla, Cavani...

And just because Aiello is restricted doesn't mean he doesn't do anything. His taking the ball and breaking through will always bring some panic to Chelsea, especially the transfer of the ball after attracting attention is very threatening. However, because his cooperation with Azpilicueta is not tacit enough, Aiello's pass is either too early or too late...

Bruno and Miguel are also capable of playing the right back position, but Ancelotti did not make a substitution, but continued to trust the 21-year-old.

In other positions, large-scale substitutions were made, with teenagers Isco and James Rodriguez replacing Mata and Vicente respectively.

No one expected that the two young players would directly make Chelsea's defense full of holes. It is a pity that Cech played well and tried to keep the goal.

When the game progressed to the 72nd minute, the score was still 3:2 and the home team took the lead. Valencia made another substitution adjustment. This time it was captain Albelda who left the field.

The on-site director pointed the camera at Albelda who was about to leave the field due to international practice. As the captain on the field, he naturally wanted to hand over the captain's armband on his left arm.

The original No. [-] captain Baraja retired, so naturally the No. [-] captain David Villa will take the top spot, but...David Villa is the main player of the World Cup champion Spain and is still on vacation. So who will the captain be?
Naturally, the on-site commentator Zhan Jun was puzzled, "Valencia made another substitution, and this time it was their captain Albelda. Who will the captain's armband be given to? Baraja has retired, and David Villa is still on vacation..."

Before the words fell, the on-site director gave a slightly farther panoramic shot, and Zhan Jun exclaimed: "Huh? Ai Luo is the captain of Valencia?"

After a little thought, Zhan Jun saw the reason and explained to the fans in front of the TV: "Aiello was the team's third captain before leaving Valencia in the summer of 2007, that is to say, the successor of Valencia's original third captain David Villaello. Now that Aiello returns to Valencia, the third captain returns to him. With Albelda out and Baraja retiring, it is normal for Aiello to wear the captain's armband on the field..."

Many Blues fans in the stands felt sad. They knew that if Aiello could stay at Chelsea, then the captain would probably be Aiello wearing the Valencia captain's armband on the field. You must know that the current Chelsea captain Terry is over [-] years old. It is a pity to think about it...

I don’t know if the captain’s armband brought new energy to Aiello. Four minutes later, Aiello’s small-scale cooperation with young players Isco and James Rodriguez was destroyed by Terry’s foul. Valencia thus got a chance to face Petr Cech’s goal about 4 meters in front of the goal.

Without any accident, Ai Luo directly hit the dead corner of the goal under the entanglement of the Blues fans on the scene.

3:3
Aiello, who scored the goal, did not choose to celebrate, just like the previous goal.

And this score is also the final score of this warm-up match.

※※※

In the regular press conference after the game, Ancelotti did not express his dissatisfaction with the team, but praised the wonderful performance of the young players, especially the performance of Azpilicueta, Mata and James Rodriguez. He was very satisfied.

There is no doubt that they have occupied a favorable position in Ancelotti's heart.

That night, Ancelotti communicated with general manager Caboni. He felt that it was absolutely necessary for the team to keep Mata. Mata, who can score goals and assists, can coexist with David Silva. That is to say, if they can cooperate tacitly, then Valencia's offensive ability in the new season can be raised to another level.

However, the introduction of James Rodriguez for 500 million euros is a bit difficult. His technical characteristics are like an enhanced version of David Silva and Mata, but he is only 18 years old this year. Naturally, his talent is different. To say the least, this year's South American U20 Football Championship is the best player, but Valencia, which is ambitious to stay in the new season, has no guarantee of playing...

In addition, Ancelotti is optimistic about the same Isco. He is as talented as James Rodriguez, but they are destined to be young and have no chance to play in the team's new season.

So Ancelotti can only choose to communicate with James Rodriguez and Isco after returning to Valencia to see if they are willing to wait for opportunities at the club or choose to rent out for exercise.

This Valencia team, which focuses on investigating young players, was able to draw with Chelsea 3:3 at Stamford Bridge, which directly caused most media to tend to be complete. Valencia will seriously threaten Barcelona and Real Madrid. In Aiello's words... the future 2010-2011 season will definitely bring honor to Valencia fans!

So... Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​who are both La Liga teams, are equal to being squeezed out of living space.

A wealthy family without honors is equivalent to a three-second brother who is strong on the outside and but on the inside.

The next afternoon, 21 members of the team returned to Valencia, while Chelsea was intensively preparing for the first round of the new season. The warm-up match with Valencia made Scolari aware of the team's defensive problems.

Three days later, Spanish internationals David Villa, David Silva and Albiol returned from their vacation to report to the club, and Valencia's 'Four Kings' gathered together again.

Head coach Ancelotti stood by the window of the office and looked at David Villa, David Silva and Aiello who still cooperated tacitly, and his enthusiasm for the new season increased.

They have a natural sense of tacit understanding with Aiello, and they don't need time to run in again. They just need to add Aiello to the Valencia lineup from last season and they can play. Therefore, they are looking forward to the pre-season warm-up match in Mestalla a week later.

Ancelotti communicated with James Rodriguez and Isco himself during the period, and asked them if they hoped to get more playing time. The subconscious meaning was that if Valencia could not provide them with a main position, then they could be rented out for exercise.

Of course, Ancelotti will not let James Rodriguez and Isco, who are extremely talented, be loaned out casually. After all, the growth of the two makes him look forward to it, and they will definitely become the pillars of Valencia in time.

Valencia did not have any championships last season, but it retained its third place in the league and was able to directly enter the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League group stage. That is to say, Valencia did not have any other games except for two pre-season warm-up matches before the official start of the league, and the schedule is relatively generous.

Valencia's opponent in the first round of the league is an away game against Malaga, and the game time is August 29.

If there is one warm-up match every five days on average, two games will be ten days, and the family will have the last five days to recover and prepare for the new season.

With the Spanish international returning to the team to resume training with the team, Ancelotti's warm-up match at Mestalla fine-tuned the team's main frame.

The four-man attack line in the frontcourt is led by David Villa, David Silva, Aiello and Mata. According to Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation in AC Milan, Mata's position needs to be retreated a little bit, and he needs to echo with the midfielder Xavi Martinez/Albelda and Cazorla.

At the same time, mainstream European media conducted detailed analysis of Valencia's attack line, causing Real Madrid and Barcelona to panic.

Especially Real Madrid, as the head coach of Aiello at Chelsea, no one knows Ailuo's personal influence better than him.
