In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid beat Ukraine's Dynamo Kyiv at home, while Barcelona scored a difficult draw away. Naturally, it became the object of ridicule in the capital newspaper.
Of course, news from Valencia is also indispensable at this time.
Because tonight, Valencia will also usher in Serie A runner-up Red Wolf Roma at their home court!
"Aspen" took a very appropriate theme for this game: Wolf King VS Bat King
The photo in the background is the Wolf King Totti, and the Bat King is the new king of Valencia - Ai Luo!
"Last night, the second round of the UEFA Champions League round ended with all eight group games. The La Liga team achieved an unbeaten record of one win and one draw. As the defending champion of La Liga, Valencia will most likely usher in two consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League group stage at home. In the league top game last Thursday, they beat last season's European champion Barcelona in an away game. Among them, Ai personally staged his fourth hat-trick against Barcelona. His excellent state will definitely make him the key player tonight..."
"...At the same time, the Roma team that ended the fourth round of Serie A is also in a very good state. They also won the home team with four goals in the away game. In this crucial Champions League group match, it will definitely give them a lot of confidence. Among them, Roman Prince Totti has also maintained a good competitive state recently. From another perspective, this game may be a direct dialogue between the trump cards of the two teams. Whoever performs better will win the game."
Indeed, the victory of this game really depends on which team's key player plays better.
However, for the odds of this game, the three major European bookmakers are still very optimistic about Valencia at home, and they also have Aiello, David Villa and Ballack in good form at home, which is more victorious.
*****
In the regular press conference before the game, Rome's bald head coach Spalletti fully expressed his confidence in winning the game. As the head coach who adjusted Rome, which was in the most chaotic period, to the current second place in the league, it naturally has its own advantages.
He used Totti as the core of the team's offense, but did not set up a forward. The tactics he adopted were similar to those of Valencia during the Benitez period-no forward tactics 460.
However, the Roma style coached by Spalletti is more aggressive. Coupled with the Roma team logo, everyone calls his tactics the wolf tactics. It is a group of powerful men headed by Perotta in the midfield.
"Although it is an away game, we will not retreat to the half. On the contrary, we will face off against the home team Valencia. I firmly believe that it will be our Roma who will win this game!"
When it was the turn of Valencia coach Flores, the reporter who conducted the interview naturally told Flores what Spalletti had said before.
This season's seven-game winning streak in all competitions has also boosted Flores' self-confidence. He didn't take the words of Roma coach Spalletti to heart, but mentioned the team's advantages. "Roma's wolf pack tactics are not terrible, because we are a Spanish team with extraordinary pass control ability. If they want to use high-position pressing at all costs to deal with us, then I can only say sorry, it won't work!"
Flores' domineering response was also unanimously recognized by the Spanish media. Let alone the result, at least he must overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum before the game.
****
Home team locker room.
Flores is taking the last minute to prepare the team. "Roma is not an easy team to deal with. They have a very strong midfielder. This team with Totti and De Rossi as the core is not as easy as it seems on the surface. They performed very well on the defensive end. The two conceded goals in various competitions in the new season just verified their defensive power. However...we have an omnipotent AI, and this game should be much easier."
Having said that, Flores paused for a moment, and looked at the team's scoring madman Ai Luo.
It wasn't once or twice that Ai Luo was stared at by his teammates, so he just shrugged and didn't speak.
"I hope everyone will not be confused by our seven consecutive victories in various competitions. On the contrary, we should also forget the previous big victory at the Nou Camp. To achieve this victory is our goal. Brothers, let us win this victory without bloodshed!!"
After speaking, Flores was also relieved to see the players full of fighting spirit. In the press conference before the game, he set off smoke bombs, giving people the illusion of being arrogant, but if the Roma team is careless in this game, then losing is their only result.
In this UEFA Champions League group match, the Mestalla Stadium was packed.
As Ai Luo's performance became more and more abnormal and stable, his huge posters, as well as those banners and subtitles supporting him could be easily seen in the surrounding stands.
He is quite familiar with this Roma team. He has also studied this Roma team that is good at wolf pack tactics in the 'before' and knows the weaknesses of this team. They can beat Inter Milan 6:2 at home, but they will also lose 1:7 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. The team's stability is the biggest problem for Roma.
Also, as long as Totti, who is good at passing deadly passes, is defended, the task can basically be completed.
So when Ai Luo was in the player tunnel, he specifically said a few words to Baraja.
*****
After more than ten minutes of the game, Ai Luo felt the power of this team's wolf pack tactics. Running without hesitation made him always be in the situation of playing more with less when he got the ball.
In this game, Spalletti and other head coaches dealt with Ai Luo in the same way. He sent a professional "bodyguard" to accompany Ai Luo at all times, whether with the ball or without the ball, and at the same time ambushed one or two players near him.
This kind of defense that consumes a lot of manpower still has a lot of flaws, because there are too many people when defending Ai Luo, which will inevitably lead to the negligence of other players' defense, but fortunately, the midfielders of the Roma team are all energetic, and they can barely cope with Valencia's pass and control cooperation.
However, the local commentator in Italy still raised the problem that Roma will face, "Although the Roma team has effectively controlled Valencia's strongest attack point in these ten minutes, if this kind of running without hesitation continues, then the physical fitness in the second half will likely be a very serious problem. Is Spalletti's physical strength to win this game worth it or not? It is still debatable..."
The Roma team took Ai Luo very closely, but it didn't make him feel normal, but kept interspersed with running positions, just like the last game against Barcelona.
Therefore, Flores was relieved. What he was worried about before was not the team's offensive or defensive problems, but whether Ai Luo would lose himself because he became the hero of the city. However, it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.
The future is endless!
This is what Flores said about him! !
He looked at the time on the big screen and felt that it was almost the same, so he closed his fists together, stretched out only two little fingers, put them in his mouth, and then blew hard, and there was a loud sound immediately, and then, Albelda looked over, and he shouted loudly: "Start moving forward!"
Albelda nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said a few words to Aiello, David Villa and Ballack respectively when the ball was dead.
It just so happened that this scene was captured by the director of the Mestalla Stadium, and when Canizares was about to kick off the goal kick, he took advantage of this spare time to play it.
Immediately, it aroused the speculation of the commentators from various countries in the studio.
"Enrique Flores must have made temporary arrangements for the players on the field. Otherwise, Albelda would not have explained to the offensive players one by one. Judging from the progress of the past 20 minutes, Valencia, who played at home, was a little quiet, and it seemed more like testing Rome. However... this guess still needs to be verified by waiting time."
Andy Gray, the head commentator of Sky TV, explained based on his own commentary experience.
"In the first 10 minutes, the home team Valencia did not use the advantage of the home court to play the kind of offensive football we wanted to see. Instead, they chose a slightly safer approach. This is not in line with their offensive philosophy. The shot just now may be that Flores wants to change the offensive and defensive on the field..."
"Are you finally going to make a change? To be honest, these 10 minutes are the most boring game since I broadcast Valencia's game in the new season. There is no sharp breakthrough, and there is no eye-catching advance. There are only sleepy passes. Let me wait and see!!"
……
……
After hearing the instructions from team deputy Albelda, Ai Luo grinned and smiled at David Pizarro, who was in charge of marking him in this game. He finally wanted to let go of his hands and feet to kick, otherwise he would really be bored to death. If he can break through but pretend he has no confidence in breakthrough, it is like a rich man insisting on pretending that he has no money in front of the person he likes, and in front of the enemy who underestimates the enemy. It is really uncomfortable.
In this game, Aiello was defended by Chilean international David Pizarro. This player is short in stature but very strong. Every time Aiello takes the ball, he will always post it at the first time to prevent him from taking the ball comfortably.
Originally, according to Ai Luo's temper, he was definitely going to pass him, but before the game, the head coach Flores had other arrangements, especially when it came to the progress of the game, asking him to try his best to break through, but wait for the opportunity to kill with one blow!
After 1 minute, Aiello got the ball on the left, and David Pizarro rushed up in the first place.
Come on, Chinese!
David Pizarro has been full of confidence in these 20 minutes, and the so-called extraordinary king of La Liga is nothing more than that.
However, within half a second, David Pizarro froze in place. How did he get there?
PS: There may only be two shifts today, and the contract at the stall at home is due to move things.
