Chapter 992 Albelda's Farewell Ceremony
Albelda, a meritorious player who has played for Valencia for thirteen years, announced that he will hang up his boots and retire after the end of this season. Many Valencia fans have expressed their dismay, because many fans have witnessed Albelda's growth, and many young fans even grew up watching Albelda play football...

But professional football is ashamed. Survival of the fittest is a natural law, and no one can break it, even Albelda, who has been in full attendance for two seasons.

The Valencia club has confirmed the date of Albelda's farewell ceremony, and the club staff began to arrange it in full swing, and the fans who love Albelda are also silently preparing, striving to show it in the penultimate round of the season when they play Levante at home.

Before the penultimate round of the league, Valencia will challenge the Spaniard away.

However, Valencia has won the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule. In order to prepare for the UEFA Champions League final with Barcelona at the new Wembley Stadium at the end of the month, this game did not send many main players, mainly substitute players and young players.

It is worth mentioning that two teenagers got the chance to start, namely left back Bernat and striker Paco.

Aiello, David Silva and Cazorla didn't even travel to Barcelona with the team, but stayed in Valencia for the Champions League final.

According to the custom before the game, the opponent Espanyol should welcome the champion Valencia into the field.

What's interesting is that in the 2005-2006 season, when Valencia won the league championship in advance in the previous round of the national derby against Barcelona, ​​Barcelona, ​​​​as a competitor, had to stand in two rows to welcome the champion.

The team that welcomes the championship today is still the Catalan team, which is really embarrassing.

Although several of Valencia's absolute main players did not go to Barcelona, ​​there is a significant difference in strength between them. The 18-year-old Paco showed amazing talent. With his goal in the first half, Valencia defeated the Spaniard 1-0 away.

While winning, Valencia's league points set a record and entered triple digits, which is the so-called broken percentage--102 points!
Of course, there is another record that cannot be ignored - the longest unbeaten streak in the Spanish top league.

Unbeaten in 39 consecutive rounds across the season.

However, many media believe that Valencia has not only created a cross-season unbeaten season, but it is entirely possible to create an unbeaten season for the entire season with only two rounds left in the league this season, just like Chelsea in the 2007-2008 season.

As Valencia ended the 2010th round of the 2011-36 season, all Valencia fans began to hesitate, because they drove the grown-up Albelda to perform a farewell ceremony at the Mestalla Stadium, thus announcing their retirement after the end of the season.

Prior to this, the Valencia club had already extended an olive branch to Albelda, inviting him to be the middle and high-level leader of the team after he retired.

It's a pity that Albelda veiledly refused, because he had planned to spend the next two years with his family, and then go to obtain the coach qualification certificate issued by FIFA...

Before the arrival of the 2010th round of the 2011-37 season, the official websites of the Spanish Football League, UEFA and FIFA respectively announced the news of Albelda's imminent retirement and praised Albelda's contribution to Valencia.

In fact, players like Albelda are easy to attract fans. Except for two seasons in his career, he was loaned to Villarreal for training, and all the rest of his time was dedicated to Valencia. Whether it was a glorious moment or an underestimated period, he was with Valencia.

In the era when the gold and the dollar hit competitive football, there are still very few players who are as loyal as Albelda, Gerrard of Liverpool, Totti of Rome, Zanetti of Inter Milan, Puyol of Barcelona, ​​Maldini retired from AC Milan...

On the day of the penultimate round of the league, half a day before the game, the periphery of the Mestalla Stadium was already overcrowded. Almost every fan was wearing the No. 6 jersey, and many fans graffitied the Arabic numeral '6' on their faces.

Banners, banners and posters abound.

If you are a music fan who doesn't understand football, you may even think that this stadium is going to be a music master's concert...

In fact, this round of competition at the Mestalla Stadium is equivalent to a concert, with only one protagonist, and that is David Albelda Alex.

When Albelda followed his teammates into the stadium from the player tunnel to warm up, the Mestalla Stadium suddenly burst into loud cheers.

The entire stadium is white, and the white stands basically belong to Albelda, who is the protagonist today.

On-site DJ Mario Kirk incited the emotions of the fans at the first moment: "Let's shout David——"

"——Albelda!!"

The [-] Valencia fans shouted hoarsely.

The momentum was so loud that the reporters standing on the sidelines even felt a slight tremor under their feet.

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Albelda's eyes were moist, he could only raise his arms above his head, and clapped his hands to express his gratitude to the fans in the stands around him.

Ai Luo gave the shoulder calmly, patted Albelda's arm and said, "You deserve it!"

Before the start of the official game, the Valencia Club gave Albelda a simple farewell ceremony. The DJ read the script and the current general manager Carboni awarded the Valencia Commemorative Medal to express his outstanding contribution to the club.

Ancelotti made fine adjustments to the starting lineup for this game. Aiello, David Silva and Cazorla returned to the starting lineup. The center forward is Cavani, and the old captain Albelda is in the midfielder position. However, his position in this game is relatively active and has not been fixed in the midfielder position.

The main lineup headed by Ai Luo soon opened the scoring with Ai Luo, who used a sudden shot from the side to score.

As a result, his number of goals became 58 goals, tying Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice in the last round, and Messi, who scored a goal, and the three tied for the top scorer list.

With Aiello's goal, Valencia's goal account seemed to be suddenly opened, and then he assisted Cavani and Cazorla to score consecutively.

It is a little pity that the protagonist Albelda did not score a goal, which made the fans in the stands feel helpless.

However, they didn't have to be helpless for too long. When the game progressed to 35 minutes, Ai Luo's breakthrough caused a foul by the Levante central defender, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.
