The strongest winger

Chapter 929 The Brave Wins
Athletic Bilbao is a magical team, often able to explode with great energy at the San Mames Stadium, especially when facing strong teams, their strength is often amazing.

So they also have another nickname - giant killer!
On the eve of Valencia's away game against Athletic Bilbao, both Barcelona and Real Madrid hope that Valencia will lose points on this opponent.

Therefore, after the first round of the Champions League group stage 1/8 finals, both the Madrid media and the Catalan media gave Valencia a boost, thinking that Valencia's victory at the San Mames Stadium was a matter of course.

The effect was achieved quickly. Athletic Bilbao captain Orbais said in an interview with reporters: "Valencia is the top of the league, but the outcome of the game is still unknown!"

Immediately afterwards, the 19-year-old teenager Muniaen also talked about this game. As the hope of Athletic Bilbao's revival, he had his own arrogance and said without restraint: "Why do you think that Valencia will definitely win the game before the game starts? Don't forget... this is the San Mames Stadium!"

Listening to the words from the star of hope, the Athletic Bilbao fans in the Basque Country were very excited. They thought that even if they were not as strong as the opponent, they could win with their momentum!Just like beating Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid at San Mames...

On the other hand, Ancelotti's mind is relatively clear.

While most of his focus has been on next weekend's game against Barcelona at the Mestalla, he also knows there is no room for loss.

Because once Athletic Bilbao loses points, they will lose a lot of advantages when they play Barcelona at home in the next round, and it will also actively add obstacles to the team's future championship.

Valencia is still in trouble in the away game. As long as the fans at the San Mames Stadium see Valencia players taking the ball, they will burst into boos, making them unable to calmly control and handle the ball.

However, Valencia still opened the scoring first. Aiello leaped high in a front corner attack and overwhelmed the Athletic Bilbao captain Orbais and the teenager Muniaen who had spoken out loud before the game. The ball headed the goal.

And the goalkeeper didn't respond at all.

As Athletic Bilbao fell behind at home, their formation gradually improved, and a lot of space behind them appeared, and Aiello's speed was reused.

David Silva, Mata and Cazorla all have strong passing abilities. As long as they have the ball at their feet, they can always pass the ball to the frontcourt and give Aiello a sprint.

Before the end of the first half, Ai Luo used his speed to break through and assist David Villa, who had returned from injury, to expand the score.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, Ai Luo scored another goal, and the score was finally fixed at 3:0
Valencia has already won the first game, so the pressure naturally goes to Barcelona and Real Madrid, especially Barcelona. After they finish the next round of the league, they will go to Mestalla to challenge Valencia. If they fail to beat Mallorca in this round, the gap between them will widen.

It is extremely detrimental to the preparations for the away game against Valencia.

In this pressure-ridden situation, Messi exploded, and his two goals gave Barcelona a two-goal win over Mallorca.

The subsequent Real Madrid also defeated their opponents. Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo did not score a goal, so the number of goals scored by Aiello and Messi was as small as his progress...

So when the first time after the game, Cristiano Ronaldo was very dissatisfied.

The best outcome in his mind would be for Real Madrid to score while winning the game.

Ai Luo put too much pressure on him.

You must know that when he led the most, he had as many as 11 goals. Now that he has narrowed down to seven goals in just a few rounds of the league, it is really stressful.

After the 2010th round of La Liga in the 2011-25 season, the mainstream media in Spain and Europe will focus on the Spanish national derby in Mestalla next weekend.

Because there are so many things to watch in this game...

There have been many incidents between the two teams in the first round of this season. For example, in the last 20 seconds, Busquets shoveled Ai Luo and caused conflicts between the players on both sides.

Busquets even slapped David Villa when he was making trouble for him, which once caused the scene to go out of control, and indirectly caused discord in the Spanish national team.

The Spanish international who played for Valencia and Busquets had no communication with Busquets, either on the training ground or off the training ground, except for the contact in the official game.

Wang Xiaolei had conflicts with many Barcelona players during the conflict in that game.

And these conflicts are also what the media is willing to hype up to increase the spectacle of the game.

The neutral media "Marca" first mentioned the old story again: "The next round of the national derby at the Mestalla Stadium has not yet started, and many people are already looking forward to the coming of the game... At present, the two teams are ranked first and second in the league.

“It’s worth mentioning that in the first round of this season’s national competition, on the eve of the end of the game, Barcelona midfielder Busquets first lost control of his emotions and shoveled Valencia’s star Ai, and then slapped his teammate David Villa, which directly led to deep contradictions in the national team... I believe that this time Barcelona’s guest league at Mestalla will be very ‘exciting’...”

The headline of the "Valencia Sports Daily" said: "Finally, this long-awaited game is ushered in. I believe many Valencia fans are the same. We won a 3:1 in the first leg of this season at Camp Nou. Now we are at home. So should we give the opponent a thrilling victory? The answer is naturally necessary!"

"Recalling the scene that happened at the end of the first leg, we should beat Barcelona in this league, no... we should beat Barcelona! Because this can help our lovely David Villa get back on the field, and secondly, Busquets' behavior is a disgrace to the football world, so we don't understand why this kind of player will stay on the football field..."

Valencia’s former captain, Mendieta, expressed his solidarity with Valencia Sport in an interview: “This round of the league must be Valencia’s victory, and it’s a big victory. Don’t ask me why, because Barcelona doesn’t deserve to score points in Mestalla, so the winning team should play Valencia at home!”

In addition, the retired meritorious goalkeeper Canizares tweeted on his personal social network Twitter: "You will never know what it means to enjoy if you don't watch AI play football. If you don't watch Barcelona play football, you will never know what it is.

Canizares' tweet was quickly reposted and left comments by tens of thousands of fans.

At the same time, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez is one of the few painful players in Barcelona. He has conceded countless goals against Aiello in the past, and now he has no bottom when he is a guest at Mestalla.

So all he can hope for is that Ai Luo's feet are not going well, and he scores two fewer goals...

With the appearance of famous Valencia stars, Barcelona is not idle here. Their godfather Cruyff said publicly: "Valencia is very strong, there is no doubt, but Barcelona is even stronger. The first leg home loss is just an accident. Now Barcelona has won more than ten rounds in a row in the league. Therefore, it is impossible to stop the winning streak this time as a guest at Mestalla!"

Soon, Valencia's current chairman, Xiao Lei, satirized Cruyff: "Is there someone who is old and suffers from amnesia? The first round was an accident? Why do I feel that Barcelona's poor strength has been defeated at home? In the end, Busquets also lost control of his emotions at the end of the game. This is the so-called accident?"

After being fermented by the media, players from both sides automatically joined the war of words.

Mascherano, who made numerous mistakes defending Aiello, told the media during Barcelona's preparations: "The past games can only represent the past, and the upcoming games can represent the future. It happens that we have valuable experience from the past, so that we will be more prepared for the next round of the league and increase our chances of winning."

Wang Xiaolei has a big mouth. After hearing Mascherano's remarks from the reporter, he said: "Oh? Valuable experience? This is a good thing. Maybe this so-called precious experience in Barcelona will continue to accumulate, because Valencia is invincible!"

Wang Xiaolei's remarks were immediately dissatisfied by countless Barcelona fans and players. Llorente, who has Basque blood, was interviewed by reporters and said: "Invincible? Haha... Please allow me to smile, because this is the funniest joke I have ever heard. From here I can say... Keep your door and wait for the uncle to shoot!"

In this way, the players from both sides spat at each other during the preparation period and had a great argument.

The media reporters were overjoyed to see this, and they even hoped that the war of words would become more intense, so that they could write more articles before the game...

During this period of spitting each other, the core players of Valencia and Barcelona, ​​Aiello and Messi, seemed very quiet, as if they were not disturbed by any disturbance, and they just focused on the upcoming game wholeheartedly.

Especially Messi, because of his poor performance in the first round of the Clasico this season, Aiello's hat-trick led Valencia to an away win. Now his foot wind is very smooth, and he is naturally full of confidence in the next round of the league.

He worked very hard during the preparations, and his good friends Fabregas and Iniesta are also full of confidence in the future games...

Likewise, the Valencia side are also full of confidence in the game.

So... which team ended up winning the game?

In other words... the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road!
