Chapter 865: Champions League Return to Stamford Bridge

Messi stole the headlines with a hat-trick in the first round of the Champions League group stage, and soon, Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo quickly played well in the following league games to pull a game back.

Valencia challenged the newly promoted Herkus away to the league with Aiello's two shots and one pass to beat the home team 3:1, while Real Madrid relied on Cristiano Ronaldo to score two goals in the away game and beat the home team Real Sociedad 2:0.

In the past three rounds of the league, the rankings of the three teams of the Western Super League have not been stretched. Valencia has won all three games and topped the list with a goal difference advantage. Real Madrid is second with a goal difference disadvantage.

However, no one thinks that Barcelona will fall behind easily. They are only deeply affected by the FIFA virus-virus, so they lost at home to the newly promoted Herkus. As the league progresses, their competitive state will definitely be adjusted to the peak.

Therefore, the media focused on the 7-13 Western Super League games in the 14th round of Barcelona vs. Valencia at home, the 2010th round of Barcelona vs. Real Madrid at home, and the 2011th round of Real Madrid vs. Valencia at home in the [-]-[-] Western Super League. That is to say, which team scored the most points in these two games, then which team will be the league champion this season.

At this time, the media narrowed down the league championship to Valencia, Real Madrid and Barcelona in advance after the third round of La Liga ended, which immediately caused dissatisfaction with Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and other strong teams...

Their strength may be one or two grades worse than the Western Super League teams, but the biggest feature of football games is uncertainty. No one dares to guarantee the victory of the game without a game. Therefore, the three teams are determined to give Western Super League a little color in the next league.

Therefore, Valencia was severely blocked in the league against Atletico Madrid at home. With Aguero as the counterattack point, they quickly counterattacked and scored a goal in the middle of the first half. Fortunately, Aiello's game state was extremely good. With David Villa and Mata both absent due to injuries, he took on more offensive responsibilities.

Because Real Madrid and Barcelona won the first game, it was a game that could not be missed for Valencia, which indirectly caused tension in replacing the injured David Villa, Mata's Cavani, and James Rodriguez. Fortunately, Aiello stepped forward at the critical moment.

In the post-match press conference, Ancelotti bluntly said that if Valencia did not introduce Aiello this season, then this season would have fallen behind at the beginning of the season...

The reporter on the scene thinks about it. In the first four rounds of the league, Aiello has scored an astonishing eight goals, averaging two goals per game. This goal efficiency has begun to catch up with the season he led Valenciado to win the Triple Crown in the 2006-2007 season. Eight goals also made Aiello top the league scorer list. The second place is Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored five goals, and Messi ranked fourth with four goals.

Many media found that the ranking of the league scorer list is closely related to the ranking of La Liga points. Aiello, who played the best, helped Valencia top the list, while Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid ranked second in the league. It happened that Sevilla tied this round, and Messi's Barcelona was promoted to No.3 in the league.

The top three in the league standings are completely copying the rankings of the top three in the league scorer list!

The fifth round of La Liga came quickly under the analysis of the Spanish mainstream media. Valencia, which took the lead in the away game, defeated Sporting Gijon 2:0. Aiello did not score, but assisted David Villa and captain Albelda to score after returning from injury.

Aiello stopped scoring and immediately let Cristiano Ronaldo find a chance to tie or even overtake the scorer list, because Real Madrid will face Levante in the away game, but... No one thought that this small club in the Valencia region would have a clean sheet at home to Real Madrid, which is bound to win.

The score of 0:0 has not changed from the beginning of the game until the end.

Cristiano Ronaldo's sigh at the end of the game became the focus of reporters on the scene, and they knew that this background image would be the headline tomorrow.

Portuguese head coach Mourinho went mad at the post-match press conference: "Levante's football is an insult. They stopped a bus with a length of 7 meters and a height of 32 meters in front of the goal!" This shows how huge the pressure on Mourinho was in this draw.

What followed was Barcelona's away game against Athletic Bilbao. Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and Valencia coach Carlo Ancelotti, who have ended this round of the league, are paying close attention.

Athletic Bilbao's home stadium, San Mames Stadium, is a well-known hell home in European football, and the UEFA Champions League group stage will rekindle the battle next week. Barcelona will fly to Kazan, Russia, to challenge Rubin Kazan. This game will definitely be reserved. Therefore, they hope to see Barcelona lose in the away league game, so as to widen the points difference between them.

But the results are always surprising. Barcelona did not lose points in the away game. With the goals of Iniesta, Bojan and Messi, they defeated the home team Athletic Bilbao 3:1 in the away game.

In this way, Valencia ranked first with [-] points in all five games, Real Madrid ranked second with [-] points in five games, four wins and one draw, Barcelona ranked third with [-] points in five games, four wins and one loss, and Sevilla ranked fourth with [-] points in five games, three wins and two draws...

Five rounds of the league have passed, and the gap in league points has not widened, so the media believes that when the points are widened, they have to wait for the previously predicted 7th, 13th and 14th rounds of the league.

In fact, Ancelotti, Mourinho and Guardiola are all focused on future league matches...

But before that, they still need to be distracted by the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Valencia's team to face in the second round of the Champions League is Aiello's former club --- Chelsea.

With the end of the major European leagues, the focus of the media has shifted from the domestic league to the European arena. Among them, the second round of Group F between Chelsea and Valencia at home has attracted widespread attention. Aiello will return to Stamford Bridge again after a lapse of one and a half months as Chelsea's opponent.

The European media are discussing, do Chelsea fans miss Aiello very much at this time?
Indeed, even though Chelsea's pre-season performance was very eye-catching, and they played very well in the first few rounds of the league, but with the deepening of the league and the start of the League Cup, Scolari, who became the head coach of a Premier League team for the first time, had a little problem with the employment and management of the dressing room.

Before this Champions League group match, they had already been unable to win two rounds of the league.

Therefore, Lampard, Terry, Ashley Cole and others were not in a good mood when they were interviewed by reporters, especially when it came to the issue of Ailuo, they would always think of how happy they were to have Ailuo.

Because Ai Luo is there, there is no big problem in winning the game, and the victory of the game can cover up many problems.

The reason why Chelsea collapsed last season when Aiello was seriously injured and reimbursed for the entire season was that the team could not win the game, which eventually led to various contradictions being made public.

Valencia did not return to Valencia at the end of the away game against Sporting Gijon, but took an international flight directly to London.

Just like the eve of the warm-up match between Valencia and Chelsea a month and a half ago, there were not a few Blues fans who came to London Heathrow International Airport to welcome Aiello.

At present, Valencia has won five consecutive victories in the league and is the most eye-catching team in the five major European leagues. Therefore, most media are very optimistic about the prospects of Valencia in this game, especially on the premise that Chelsea failed to win the league in two consecutive rounds.

However, the media supporting Chelsea also have sufficient evidence. They believe that Aiello is currently performing well in the league, but it does not mean that he is also outstanding in the Champions League. The best evidence is that he only scored one goal in the first round of the Champions League. Moreover, they believe that there are not a few players in the Chelsea team who understand Ailuo’s characteristics. It is even very likely that I will completely limit Ailuo’s performance in the real game...

It's just that this possibility can only be recognized by the media who support Chelsea. After all, countless facts have proved that Aiello is unrestricted.

Therefore, before the game, Chelsea coach Scolari's regular press conference before the game is particularly important. He said: "I know that Chelsea is in a very difficult situation now. There is no way to win the two rounds of the league, but this does not mean that this situation will always trouble us. We all believe that the Champions League group match at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night will change everything..."

Scolari's words naturally wanted to motivate the players, but what he didn't know was that the fear of Aiello from this group of Chelsea players had reached deep in their hearts.

In other words, some people cannot be enemies...
