After Valencia ended its league match with Villarreal at the Mestalla Stadium, three days later, in midweek, they faced off in the first leg of this season's Champions League 14 finals.
The same opponent, but the difference from last weekend's game is that this game is moved to Villarreal's home stadium Estadio El Estadio.
As the knockout rounds of the Champions League 14 finals approach, not many media are following up on the conspiracy against Valencia that was making a fuss last week.
It disappears as quickly as it came.
But this did not make Valencia head coach Flores feel relaxed.
On the contrary, he felt that the media's analysis was very reasonable, so before the UEFA Champions League 14th final, he held a team meeting. .
After Ai Luo's speech, all the players were full of confidence in the next game.
The words "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks are in vain" made the team members present instantly full of strength.
Just after everyone put down the pressure of the game, Valencia began to suffer injuries.
First of all, during the second day of resuming training with Villarreal, captain Canizares accidentally dislocated his tail finger during warm-up and will be sidelined for half a month.
Then during the tactical drill that afternoon, Brazilian international Edu, who had just resumed the game, was injured again.
He strained his thigh muscle.
According to the preliminary diagnosis of team doctor Hernandez, he will be sidelined for at least three weeks.
Many things that were originally planned were forced to change.
Whether veteran goalkeeper Mora, who has been on the bench for a long time, can find the feeling of the game is also unknown.
You must know that he has only had less than five games this season, so it is difficult to say.
Edu's injury also deprived Valencia of a good defensive rotation player.
Fortunately, no other main players were injured again.
However, in order to prevent the team's preparations from being affected, Flores issued a gag order to the players.
However, there is no airtight wall in the world.
Valencia suddenly lost two generals before the Champions League 14 finals.
Can it not be noticed?
Mundo Deportivo, which had previously created pressure for Valencia, broke the news immediately, “During a warm-up training yesterday morning, Valencia’s captain Canizares dislocated his tail finger and will miss at least two days.
Two weeks ago, during the afternoon training, another general of the team, Edu, also suffered a thigh muscle strain and was absent for at least three weeks.
The final didn’t go well” Therefore, many fans who care about Valencia have expressed their concerns.
Enrique Wien also talked about his worries in his own column in Valencia Sports the next day, "The sudden injury forced the team's plan to make changes, and there were only the last 13 days left in the season.
Under such circumstances, it is also a test for the team's physical fitness, but at this time However, he happened to suffer an injury at this time, which was undoubtedly a serious blow to the team.
However, we still hope that everyone will maintain hope for the team, because we still have Ai, and he is our hope, just like the song of Ai, a Another goal leads the team to keep moving forward.”
Although some people still maintain confidence in Valencia, many others remain skeptical.
Because of Valencia's recent good results, in addition to Aiello's outstanding performance, Canizares' contribution as a goalkeeper cannot be underestimated.
He doesn't look 37 years old anymore, he looks as strong as he did in his early thirties.
But now the team has to lose a main goalkeeper who is in such good condition for half a month.
In other words, Canizares will spend all the two rounds of the Champions League 14 finals sitting in the stands.
Considering his age, even if he recovers by then, will he be able to return to his heroic moments?
So there is a big question mark on this.
Therefore, Flores began to worry about helping the team find the future main goalkeeper.
Because the current team's No. 2 goalkeeper Moura and No. 3 goalkeeper Bitler are not reassuring.
Should I buy it from outside?
But the transfer window has long been closed, which is really troublesome.
After Ai Luo saw the news, he was a little unhappy at first because of the captain's injury, but then his eyes lit up.
Canizares is already 37 years old this year, which means he doesn’t have many peak moments anymore.
Then the team must find a new main goalkeeper But Ai Luo happened to have a perfect candidate in his heart.
That is Wang Xiaolei, who performed well in the U17 World Youth Championship in Peru last year.
Maybe many people don’t know his strength now, but Ai Luo, who has been there, knows it.
Definitely a core level goalkeeper Has all the qualities to become the world's top level Reaction speed, jumping ability, anticipation, defense against high-altitude balls, and most importantly, the ability to make precise long passes and throws.

Therefore, Aiello is going to recommend it to Flores.
You must know that Wang Xiaolei in his previous life was extremely talented.
Even the director of Inter Milan's youth training praised him.
However, he did not go abroad because of the upper limit of Inter Milan's goalkeepers and domestic obstacles.
Ai Luo doesn’t want Wang Xiaolei to continue to sink in the country.
Besides, Valencia also has a top goalkeeper, Cañizares, and they worry about no one to take care of him.
But considering that the Champions League knockout match against Villarreal will be two days later, this matter will be discussed later.
In mid-week, the first games are Arsenal vs.
Juventus and Inter Milan vs.
Barcelona.
Arsenal, who played at home, won the game with a score of 2:0.
At the same time, Juventus, who played away from home, sent off two people, laying a good foundation for the team to advance to the semi-finals.
The match between Inter Milan and Barcelona was quite dull.
Inter Milan, playing at home, showed its special skills and defended with all its strength.
Barcelona also had no good way to face Inter Milan, which defended with all its strength, so the ninety minutes ended.
At that time, the score between the two sides was still 0:0, a goalless draw.
The next day, the mainstream media in Europe reported that former captain Vieira returned to Wembley, but was booed by the home fans, while his successor Cesc Fabregas performed a stunning game.
Because Arsenal's first goal was when Fabregas stole the football from Vieira's feet and directly assisted Henry to score.
Then he talked about Juventus' two red cards.
It is estimated that there will be no big problem for Arsenal in the second round.
The game between Inter Milan and Barcelona directly used a title: Degenerated Football Of course, on this day we also talked about the other two Champions League 14 finals that will be played that evening.
Gazzetta dello Sport said this, “In this crucial Champions League 14 knockout round, Valencia injured two generals in a row, one of whom was the main goalkeeper and captain.
Although in the past two seasons, Valencia has comprehensively Dominate, but this is a Champions League-level event after all, which is more important than the league.
Compared with Valencia's injuries, Villarreal's lineup is quite complete, and its overall combat effectiveness is not inferior to Valencia's.
This game is still full of suspense.”
Marca also talked about the match between Valencia and Villarreal in its Champions League column that day, “The frontcourt trident composed of Ai, David Villa and Vicente was in In the past, they were invincible in La Liga, but the central axis of the midfield consisting of Senna, Riquelme and Diego Forlan also gave them their own confidence.
In addition, Canizares was injured before this game. , making the outcome of this game a bit confusing.”
It was originally a match with no suspense, but the media said it was a well-matched match full of suspense, so when Ai Luo saw all kinds of strange reports, he became drunk.
At a critical moment, coverage by World Sports News is naturally indispensable.
They first expressed their regret that Barcelona was tied with Inter Milan in the away game, and then talked about the game in Valencia.
However, I don’t know if this manuscript was written by Juan Carlos.
The text said, " Caniceres' dislocated tail finger will directly reduce the combat effectiveness of Valencia's defense.
Don't forget that in the past two seasons , Canizares's performance is very stable, so in the special position of goalkeeper, there is rarely a rotation, so the opportunities for substitute goalkeepers to play are always pitiful, so this game requires very high conditions for them.
High, whether it is Moura or Bitler, the upcoming Champions League 14 knockout match against Villarreal will be a severe test."
In the end, even Valencia's own fans had to worry about the team they supported.
Under the influence of so many media, their confidence became less and less.
This is the so-called care and chaos.
Although many media have expressed their opinions on the upcoming Champions League 14 knockout matches, they have also re-evaluated the game.
But Aiello's confidence in this game is still as high as ever Even if there are thousands of troops, I am enough Before this crucial Champions League 14th final, players from both sides appeared to be very rigorous in their approach to the game.
No one said anything sensitive in interviews with the media before the game.
In fact, Villarreal, who played at home in this campaign, just wanted to clear their ears.
After all, they swallowed three eggs at the Mestalla Stadium four days ago.
This is an unacceptable result.
As participants in that game, they naturally knew the value of that game.
It's not as calm as coach Pellegrini said.

Valencia this season is much stronger than last season.
Both on the offensive and defensive ends, they are very good.
Otherwise, they would not be as strong as Senna, Riquelme and Diego Forlan.
With a central axis in the frontcourt, it still can’t break the Valencia goal.
Therefore, before preparing for this game, Villarreal Club specially held an event, that is, admission to the UEFA Champions League 14th final was half-price, striving to fill the stadium with a capacity of 22,000 people and create a Horrible home atmosphere. s: Book communication group: 426343867:
