The strongest winger

Chapter 869: Basque Lion

Scolari was fully prepared to fight to equalize the score, or even overtake in one fell swoop, but it was not as good as God. Ai Luo changed the previous game rhythm of cooperating with his teammates back and forth, and suddenly accelerated from the attacking left rib to enter the penalty area. The defensive attention of Ivanovic and Terry was attracted by Ai Luo at the same time, so that David Villa in the middle was left unmarked.

Aiello had great vision, and after drawing the attention of both, he quickly passed the ball to the free David Villa, who easily slid the ball into the far corner.

In fact, Aiello's assist not only helped his team score a goal and expand the score, but also indirectly hit the Chelsea players who wanted to quickly equalize the score.

After the game restarted, Chelsea's desire to attack forward was significantly weakened, and their aggressiveness was not as strong as before. The anxious Brazilian old man Scolari knew that it was extremely difficult for the team to score points in this game, but he didn't want to give up. Two minutes later, he changed again.

Ancelotti also acted decisively, removing the midfielder Mata and replacing him with the defensive midfielder Turk Topal.

The tit-for-tat substitution did not reduce Valencia's offensive ability. If it is only about organizational ability, David Silva is more capable than Mata, so his role in defensive counterattack is more obvious.

However, no one scored a goal in the following period of time. In the end, Valencia defeated the home team Chelsea 3:1 in the away game, won two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage, and rose to the first place in Group F.

Aiello, with two goals and one assist, is naturally the well-deserved best player in the game, so the on-site director locked the camera on Aiello as soon as the referee Rocky blew his whistle, and gathered all the focus.

Aiello, who appeared in the camera, did not appear quite happy as the Valencia fans imagined, but naturally pursed his mouth and looked at his former Chelsea teammates.

CCTV commentator He Wei also gave his closing commentary line: "Okay, with the referee Rocky's whistle, the game is over. Aiello contributed two goals and an assist in this game. Valencia's biggest contribution to victory. Now they have won two games in the group stage and accumulated six points, ranking first in Group F. According to the results from another stadium, Sparta Moscow and Zilina drew. Therefore, Chelsea, who lost the game, is still second in this group..."

"Although Chelsea lost the game at home, the Chinese player Zhang Linpeng who started the game played very well. He assisted Torres to score the equalizer goal. It is a pity that the next performance was completely suppressed by Ai Luo's activity, but this has nothing to do with him personally, because Ai Luo's personal ability is too strong..."

After the match, Aiello first accepted an interview with UEFA's official reporter in the mixed zone, and then hugged comfort and encouragement with his former teammates one by one.

Naturally, there were a lot of complaints during the period, among which Modric was the most resentful, like a boudoir who complained...

Immediately, Aiello became the busiest player in the audience. Not only did he have to follow his Valencia teammates to thank the Valencia fans who followed him, but he also followed the home team Chelsea players to thank the Blues fans present...

Although the game is over, there are still many fans who choose to stay at the Stamford Bridge Stadium. They just want to take another look at Aiello.

When Aiello draped Modric's shirt on his shoulders and followed captain Terry to the stands where Chelsea fans gathered, the sky above Stamford Bridge burst into overwhelming cheers again.

Hearing the cheers from the stands and the banners, slogans and huge posters held high by the die-hard fans, his heart was already filled with tears.

Clive Walker did not cut off the signal from the scene for a long time, so he also saw this scene and said: "If... I said that if, if Ai hadn't left Chelsea, then Chelsea would definitely win this game, but... Now such a player who can decide the victory of the game has left us, and perhaps, he will never come back. It is a frustrating reality. Sorry... But watching him play... is always a pleasure... Really..."

On the second day, the content of mainstream reports in Europe naturally revolved around Aiello's return to Stamford Bridge. His performance did not exceed most people's expectations. Valencia, where he was located, beat Chelsea in an away game, thus winning two consecutive victories in the group stage.

Messi, who scored a hat-trick in the first round, did not find his form in distant Russia in the UEFA Champions League group stage at the same time. In the end, he relied on a penalty kick created by Iniesta to equalize the score thrillingly. Otherwise, Barcelona will likely capsize in the gutter.

With Aiello and Messi's performance in the second round of the group stage settled, the media's attention is on Real Madrid, who challenged the Slovakian team Bursa away, and they want to see if Cristiano Ronaldo can brush up the statistics in this recognized team in Group C...

It was just a surprise after the results came out. Cristiano Ronaldo, who contributed [-] shots in the game, only scored a poor goal, and Real Madrid also defeated the home team Bursa in the away game because of his goal.

Judging from the results of Valencia, Barcelona and Real Madrid, Aiello's performance is naturally the most dazzling, directly helping the team score three away goals, and the opponent's gold content is much higher than that of Rubin Kazan and Bursa. Therefore, Aiello, who scored two goals and assisted one, became the best player in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2010-2011 season.

After Ancelotti's away game against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League group stage, he quickly focused on preparing for the seventh round of the NO.17 away game against Barcelona next month.

Although Valencia is now at the top of the list with all five victories, Barcelona has the home court advantage, and if it is strictly based on the strength comparison, then Barcelona's overall strength is stronger, but Valencia wins because it has a card that everyone fears.

That's right, Aiello.

Since Aiello was born, from the second half of the 2004-2005 season to the 2006-2007 season, the powerful dream team Barcelona only won one game against each other. You must know that the two teams played against each other more than ten times in the two and a half seasons, which means that Valencia has the absolute upper hand.

In fact, at this time, not only Ancelotti is focusing on the league against Barcelona next month, but mainstream media such as the Spanish "Marca", "Mundo Deportivo" and "National" have also noticed this league, so that Valencia and Barcelona will face their opponents Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca at home this weekend.

This can directly cause dissatisfaction with some players in the Basque Lions and Mallorca.

Even though they know that these discussions are only from the media, they are aiming at the opponents they will face next. They want to prove that their team is not inferior to Valencia or Barcelona, ​​which invested heavily this summer.

Especially the bloody Athletic Bilbao, they have a fine tradition. They have never been relegated in the Spanish La Liga since 1928. At the same time, they have the honor of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In addition, this team has always been very mysterious. The players only use players with Basque blood, so the selection of talents is greatly restricted. However, because of this restriction and the numerous honors they have won, it can further explain the combat effectiveness of this team. It is very strong.

So "Valencia Sports Daily" talked about this and hoped to remind Valencia: "Athletic Bilbao is the most mysterious football club in the Basque Country. From the past 100 years of history, they have only used players of Basque blood. Valencia should play more cooperatively and less alone, otherwise the league at home will be very difficult..."

At the same time, Athletic Bilbao captain Orbais said in an interview with reporters: "Valencia is the leader of the league and is very strong, but we came to tell everyone that Athletic Bilbao came to Mestalla not to score points, but to spoil the game! If we are lucky enough, it is not impossible to win away games!"

The unspoken meaning is that they may not be as strong as Valencia, but football games really cannot judge the result of the game according to the actual strength comparison!

In this regard, Valencia captain Albelda publicly said tit-for-tat in an interview with the media: "They do have the ability to disrupt the situation, but don't forget, this is Mestalla!"

Under the war of words between their captains on both sides of the league, it came quietly.

Athletic Bilbao is indeed worthy of their praise. The style of play is quite tough. It does not feel like a traditional Spanish team. Instead, it is more like a simple and rough former Bundesliga team, emphasizing physical confrontation and unyielding fighting spirit.

The Valencia players who played at home were not able to break the deadlock by relying on their home advantage in the first half. Athletic Bilbao performed quite tenaciously in the game. Captain Orbais set an example and even bloodied the battlefield in a midfield fight, which indirectly detonated the fighting spirit of the visiting team players.
