After finishing their respective Copa del Rey 14 finals, Barcelona and Valencia quickly rushed back to their training bases to start training for the 23rd round of the league on the weekend.
This is a game that no one can afford to lose.
Nine points may seem like a lot, but in fact they are not safe.
After Barcelona's Copa del Rey 14 final against Zaragoza, Rijkaard expressed the team's confidence in an interview with reporters at the Mestalla over the weekend.
"There is no doubt that Barcelona will win this game" "We are a great Barcelona.
Even if we play away from home, we will attack with all our strength."
"In my eyes Valencia is not impeccable, their defense is a problem" Rijkaard's speech became a topic of discussion in the Spanish media the next day.
What he said received widespread support and attention, especially from the media and fans in Catalonia.
Everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
It was as if what was going on at the weekend was no longer a league game, but a championship ceremony for Barcelona.
This approach of Barcelona fans immediately aroused dissatisfaction among Valencia fans.
Before the war of words between the media from both sides started, Valencia fans and Barcelona fans started a war of words on the Internet, but fortunately there was no further development between the two sides.
The official websites of both sides have left various provocative words from the fans of the other side.
In addition, there are many fans of both sides in the forum.
The media in Valencia began to comment on Rijkaard's previous remarks.
"I really don't know what is going on in Rijkaard's mind.
Oh my god, he said that the one who won at the Mestalla must be Barcelona.
Don't forget that they have already lost two consecutive games against us, and Our prince even scored six goals by himself.
Such a team will definitely win.
God, forgive the ignorance of your believers.
Maybe this world is so crazy that even the tongue is not afraid of it.”
"I believe that this kind of game to welcome Barcelona must be a failure, because we have an omnipotent prince who will lead us to victory.
Barcelona bullshit is at our home court.
They can only fail."
The local media in Valencia first made remarks against Barcelona, and what happened next became logical.
The Catalan media responded quickly, and a war of words between the two sides' media was about to break out.
The local media in Valencia criticized Barcelona by praising Aiello, and the media in Catalonia naturally had to regain the team's confidence from Aiello.
At this time, Juan Carlos, the Black Ai user of World Sports News, came to the fore.
He suddenly broke the news in public, "leaving aside my current status, everyone feels that all players are taking a break. while the so-called Bat Prince was doing A trapeze job, flying across the entire earth, can he ensure that he has sufficient physical fitness for every game in the following games?
Taking a step back, even if Valencia wins this game, but Valencia Is it a good result that Siya relied on his performance to win the game?"
"By the end of the season, Valencia will have tasted the consequences of over-reliance on one player, and it is not impossible to lose the championship at the end of the season."
After hearing what Juan Carlos said, many people thought it made sense.
Indeed, as he said, Aiello did a trapeze during this winter break, so the Valencia fans began to panic.
However, Valencia head coach Flores accepted an interview at this time and calmed the panicked fans.
He gave his own reply to Juan Carlos's remarks: "In short, our goal now is to win the weekend.
Victory in the game is still too far away from us at the end of the season, so our goal is only three points.
When we get three points, we will open up a 12-point gap with Barcelona.”
"Don't you know the significance of the 12-point difference?
Let me tell you some science. 12 points is equal to the points for winning four games.
That is to say, in the next fifteen rounds, we only need to win ten games.
Then we are the league champions this season.
But, at this point, the question arises, can Barcelona win the next fifteen league rounds?"
Because the relationship between the two sides' victory is equivalent to being five games ahead of Barcelona, so only ten games are needed to win.
What Flores said immediately left the local reporters in Catalonia speechless.
Let alone Barcelona now, even Barcelona during the Dream Team era may not dare to guarantee victory.

On the contrary, Flores' words attracted applause from local reporters in Valencia because he was so right.
The head coaches of both sides joined in the war of words in the fanatical atmosphere of this game, and the players of both sides were naturally indispensable.
When being interviewed by reporters, Ronaldinho, the current Barcelona star, also talked about the focus war that will start one day later, "Whatever is said now is all false.
Everything is based on strength, not who says Whoever is more exaggerated will be more powerful.”
Ronaldinho said this to express his disdain for what Flores said.
In his mind, only strength can be king, and the mouth can only speak and eat.
Later, after Marchena learned what Ronaldinho said, he made harsh words and said, "Yes, everything must speak for itself with strength, so we firmly believe that we, Valencia, will win the game."
It didn't take long for Barcelona's Van Bommel, Xavi and others to join in the war of words, followed closely by Valencia's Vicente and Albelda.
On the day before the start of the game, the war of words between the players from both sides became more and more intense.
However, no matter how exciting the war of words is, you cannot become the protagonist.
Because the game is the focus of everyone's attention.
Therefore, the war of words before the game can often only attract the attention of the media who deliberately create a smell of gunpowder, but it is far from being able to transcend the game.
Amid the war of words between the two sides, fans are increasingly looking forward to this game.
When the game was about to come, the Mestalla Stadium had been filled with fans from both sides since the morning, as if it was a festival, wearing the jerseys of their respective supporting teams, some holding banners, and some blowing trumpets. , there were also people singing the team’s anthem.
Among them, there are also many Chinese students studying in Spain or countries near Spain.
Their profiles are relatively simple and easy to recognize.
Although they all wear Valencia's No. 22 jersey, which is no different from ordinary Valencia fans, the five-star red flag painted on their faces is particularly dazzling.
Fans of international students from China also became a beautiful sight at the Mestalla Stadium before the game.
In addition to the active fans outside the stadium, there are also many media reporters with microphones in their hands, wandering around to capture interesting news materials.
Among them, Chinese journalists with yellow skin and dark eyes were the most active.
Whenever they see a Chinese student wearing a Valencia jersey and a five-star red flag on his face, they will pull him over to take a photo and then conduct an interview.
Of course, the questions asked were all related to Aiello.
"What are your expectations for Aiello for this game?"
"In the past few games, Aiello has been in good condition.
I hope he scores a few goals in this game."
"In the past two games between Valencia and Barcelona, Aiello scored a hat trick in both of them.
Will we still look forward to this game as much as before?"
Regarding these questions, Chinese students' answers were relatively uniform, "As long as Aiello plays well, it doesn't matter whether he wins or not.
We are here to watch Aiello play anyway."
The Chinese students’ answers really left domestic reporters speechless.
However, it also indirectly shows the expectations and support these Chinese students have for Ai Luo.
Juan Carlos is the reporter for this issue of World Sports.
He and his colleagues are also capturing news materials near the stadium.
Seeing most of the Chinese students makes him feel a little off-putting.
Ever since he had a grudge against Aiello, he had always felt this way when he saw Chinese people, and the period before this game brought this feeling to its peak.
Looking at the Chinese people everywhere, he spit at their backs to express his dissatisfaction.
With three hours left, that is, at six o'clock that night, fans of the home team were allowed to take the lead in setting up the home atmosphere.
The Valencia fans, led by Giovanni, the leader of the Bat Guard, marched into the Mestalla Stadium in a mighty manner.
The most eye-catching thing among them was the flag he held high with Ai Luo's portrait.
An hour later, the home team fans who arranged the home atmosphere had basically completed their work.
At this time, the ticket gate staff allowed Barcelona fans to enter.
When they entered the venue, they were almost so angry that they vomited blood.
Not to mention the unfriendly boos, what upset Barcelona fans the most was the huge poster in the north stand of the Mestalla Stadium.
The character on the poster is none other than Ai Luo If it were just Ai Luo, there would definitely not be such a big reaction.
What made them unhappy was the row of huge subtitles underneath the poster, "Two hat-tricks, tonight we welcome Prince's hat-trick against Barcelona."

When the home team players began to enter the stadium to warm up an hour before the game, the Mestalla Stadium erupted for the first time.
The huge cheers made Ai Luodu unable to help but be full of strength.
Especially the huge poster in the North Stand.
Aiello touched his racing heart with his right hand, clenched his left hand tightly, and muttered, "Hat trick, hat trick tonight":
