Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to help Real Madrid beat Mallorca 3-0, and Aiello scored a hat-trick to help Valencia beat Malaga 4-0 away. Barcelona assistant coach Vilanova immediately told the news to Messi who was warming up at Camp Nou. He hoped that this way could stimulate Messi to explode in the upcoming La Liga.
Sure enough, this method is still very useful.
Messi helped Barcelona open the scoring in the 3rd minute of the game and led Barcelona to a 3-0 victory over Racing Santander at home. It is a little pity that he did not score his third goal of the game, but he and Cristiano Ronaldo each scored two goals and were placed under Aiello.
When the first round of the 2010-2011 season of the Spanish La Liga is over, the mainstream European media has predicted that this season's La Liga will probably belong to one of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
And the record of the three teams is also likely to be inseparable from the personal competition of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Aiello.
Because judging from the process of the three games just ended, this is the case.
In other words, which one of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Aiello performed better, scored more goals, and had better statistics, then which team has a higher chance of winning the championship!
Like "Kicker" said at this time, "Since the launch of football games, the first impression given to everyone is teamwork, followed by individual wonderful performances. However, in the three focus games of La Liga that have just ended, we can't see even a little bit of teamwork. What we see is their core players in the game. The best statistics in the game, if it goes on for a long time, then the rumored 'Western Super League' will not be able to survive in the top league like the Champions League. You must know that the strength of individuals will never be comparable to a team..."
The Spanish "Marca" has the opposite opinion: "What is the most important thing in modern competitive football? Victory! Only victory will bring honor to the team. That is to say, no matter what method is used, as long as the game is won in the end, it is reasonable. Besides... There is no shortage of wonderful shots in the three league games that ended last night. Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi or Ai, they have very enjoyable cooperation in addition to contributing goals in the game.
As Barcelona's mouthpiece, "Mundo Deportivo" and "Daily Sport" rarely stand on the side of the Madrid newspaper, refuting the "Kicker" point of view.
Closer to home, Aiello scored a hat-trick in an away game in the first round and dominated the No.1 scorer list with three goals. Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Forlan and others tied for second place.
In addition to Atletico Madrid and Sporting Gijon, which have not yet played games, the 2010 La Liga teams in the 2011-[-] season, the other [-] teams entered the two international match days just like the teams that ended in other European leagues.
During these two international competition days, European teams will conduct the first round of qualifying for the 2012 Poland-Ukraine EuroBasket qualifiers, while Asian teams will continue to conduct the Asian Cup qualifiers in Qatar in January next year.
The AFC stipulates that the five teams from China, Australia, South Korea, Japan and North Korea participating in the World Cup finals do not need to participate in the qualifiers and directly enter the Asian Cup.
This also just prevents Chinese players in Europe from traveling back and forth, otherwise they will be reduced to substitutes again when they have just come into contact with the main position.
The Football Association, which has been decoupled from the General Administration of Sports, also found an opponent for the Chinese team in the warm-up match on the international match day. The opponent is the North American team Costa Rica. The venue of the match is still chosen to be in Mestalla.
Speaking of this, let me mention a little bit that the Chinese team has gained a lot of points after being No.5 in the World Cup. From the 46th in the world in June to the 21st in the August, the Chinese team did not play in the international A-level competition in August, but the points are there. It will not be deducted too much until September, and it will at least hover around the [-]s.
※※※
The venue for the Chinese team's European competition is once again set at the Mestalla Stadium, which has been dubbed by many domestic fans as the second home stadium of the Chinese team.
Indeed, in the international A-level friendly match of the Chinese team in Mestalla, in addition to the Chinese fans studying in Europe, working, and overseas Dragons fans, there were also many local Valencia fans who came to the stadium to cheer for the Chinese team.
In the final international friendly match held at the Mestalla Stadium, the China Team defeated Costa Rica 3:1 with the goals of Zhang Xizhe, Yang Xu and Hao Junmin.
On the second day after the game ended, the 24 people convened this time were disbanded on the spot.
In order to maintain their competitive state, Ai Luo and Wang Xiaolei returned to the Valencia first-team training base the next morning to train with those players who did not have the task of the national team.
What surprised Aiello was that the Colombian James Rodriguez was also called up to the national team. However, thinking about it a little bit, it is normal for a young player like James Rodriguez, who is extremely talented and capable, to be valued by the Colombian national team. In Europe and South America, many players were selected for the national team before they reached adulthood.
The back-to-back international match days in September are fleeting, and Valencia's main players return to the team in batches to report, preparing for the first round of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League group stage at home against Racing Santander at home on the weekend and at home next week at Spartak Moscow.
Ancelotti, who is sitting in the office at the moment, feels a bit of a headache. Except for the first three games that may be relatively easy, there will be three tough games in late September and early October. They will play Atletico Madrid on the 23rd, Chelsea on the 29th in the second round of the Champions League group stage, and Athletic Bilbao on the [-]rd of next month.
Of course, the most troublesome reason for him is the FIFA virus. Both David Villa and Mata suffered minor injuries in the national team game and need to recuperate for two weeks, so the offensive firepower will drop by at least a notch.
Fortunately, the next opponent is not strong, and with the existence of super firepower Ai Luo, it should be relatively easy to deal with the next game.
Sure enough, in the home game against Racing Santander, with Aiello's brace and assists, they beat Racing Santander 3-0 at home.
The FIFA virus not only caused the loss of Valencia, but also Real Madrid and Barcelona.
With Carvalho's sword to seal the throat, Real Madrid beat the tenacious Osasuna 1-0 at home.
But Barcelona was not so lucky. After Valencia and Real Madrid won two consecutive victories in the first two rounds, they lost 0:2 at home to the newly promoted Herkus...
No one expected this result. When the whole game was over, the on-site director locked the camera on the helpless Messi --- with his hands on his hips and a helpless expression on his face.
He also became the headline background picture of the Spanish mainstream media the next day. Barcelona's loss at home has a vital connection with Messi's sluggish state.
"Kicker" seized the opportunity to prove its point of view: "Facts have proved that football is a team sport. Barcelona lost two goals at home to the newly promoted Herkus when Messi was in a sluggish state. What does this mean? It shows that relying on their own recklessness cannot help the team win the game. Let us look at the winning Herkus..."
In this way, Aiello and Valencia occupied the top position respectively at the beginning of the new season, starting the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season.
※※※
Barcelona began to fall behind in the second round of the league. As the team's number one star, Messi felt tremendous pressure. The reason why he tried his best to score in the second round of the league was because Aiello's two goals made him feel aggrieved.
But... things backfired and eventually led to the team's home defeat.
Therefore, according to the actual situation of the game, the media attributed the responsibility of Barcelona's loss to Messi, and the pressure was huge.
However, Messi broke out in this situation of great pressure.
Barcelona played at home against the Greek team Panathinaikos in the middle of the week. Messi turned all the pressure on him into motivation. Finally, with his three goals and one assist, he beat his opponent 6:1 at home.
It is worth mentioning that after Messi's hat-trick, he rarely roared at the camera and shut up in celebration.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Aiello didn't have too many surprises about Messi's outburst. There will always be a strong premonition in the duel between masters. If Messi is really so easily defeated by pressure, he is not worthy of becoming a superstar with the same reputation as the two of them.
Similarly, they can do the same that Messi can play.
However, there is still a gap in actual performance. Real Madrid beat Glasgow Rangers 4-0 at home, in which Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice. At the same time, in the UEFA Champions League group stage of Group F, Valencia relied on Aiello's one shot and two passes at home to take Sparta Moscow lightly 3:1.
After two matchdays in the first round of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League group stage, the media discovered that the best performer was actually Messi, who had previously been under tremendous pressure...
Therefore, Messi topped the UEFA Champions League scorer list with a hat-trick in the first round of the group stage, Cristiano Ronaldo ranked second with seven other players, and Aiello, who scored a goal, tied for ninth.
The mainstream media in Europe is changing rapidly. Just two or three days ago, they were still desperately accusing Messi of being the culprit for Barcelona's home defeat, but as the first round of the Champions League group stage came to an end, they began to lick Messi's toes...
Cristiano Ronaldo and Aiello, who performed second, were even taken over by most of the media...
