The Ballad Stadium was packed that day.
In addition to the 3,000 tickets reserved for the visiting team Valencia, the remaining 19,000 tickets for the home team were also sold out.
In other words, this derby in the Valencia region, Almost half of Villarreal's residents were present.
So when Huang Jianxiang, the Champions League commentator of China's av5 station, came to the studio, he said jokingly, "It's not easy for this small town of only 48,000 people to fill up this stadium, but this game , I believe it will not change because of Villarreal supporters.”
Valencia injured their main goalkeeper before the game, so Pellegrini's requirement for the team at home is to attack non-stop, like a tide.
Because Valencia's main goalkeeper in this game is No. 2 goalkeeper Moura, who has rarely appeared this season, it is destined that he does not have a tacit understanding with the defenders in the back line.
Be sure to use the opening period to get a head start Then return to the ground penetration style that the team is accustomed to.
It is worth mentioning that Villarreal did take advantage of an early opportunity in this game.
In only one minute of the game, Diego Forlan scored a goal by taking advantage of substitute goalkeeper Moura and a mistake in the defense.
The entire Love Song Stadium seemed to tremble slightly at this moment.
Even Hyde said sourly during the commentary, "Although I had expected to lose the ball in this game, I didn't expect to lose it so early.
It's only been one minute."
At the same time, the local commentator in Catalonia also explained: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the game has only lasted one minute, and the visiting team Valencia is one goal behind.
This team still scored three goals at home four days ago."
Will Valencia defeat Villarreal?"
Seeing this goal, Barcelona coach Rijkaard, who was tied with Inter Milan in the away game, also lightly clenched his fists and secretly applauded.
Although the team's top management used some small tricks to put pressure on Valencia and also created many opportunities, he sincerely did not want to encounter Valencia in the semi-finals.
Because against this team, the future is full of uncertainty Villarreal is easier to deal with than Valencia Not long after Rijkaard was happy, Aiello got a goal back for Valencia and the score became 1:1.
Valencia scored a precious away goal So when Aiello used his personal ability to break into the penalty area and score a goal, Pellagrini felt regretful.
Why was he still not satisfied after scoring a goal?
Now it was a waste of money.
Seeing Aiello's goal, not only Rijkaard was unhappy, but also the Catalan media were very unhappy.
However, their displeasure was essentially different from Rijkaard's, because Mundo Deportivo's report made many people believe that Valencia will be tested in this game.
But in fact, after Valencia stabilized their position, they quickly equalized the score.
This was a perfect counterattack against them, which was equivalent to a direct slap in their face.
So very unhappy Immediately, the game began to enter the normal track.
Since the two teams are opponents in the same district, there is no cultural difference.
In terms of technical and tactical play, they also emphasize ground coordination and penetration in the middle.
It's just that Valencia emphasizes ground coordination while paying more attention to offense and defense on the wing. .
So this game is destined not to belong to the home team Villarreal.
Before the end of the first half, Aiello formed a breakthrough on the left and cut into the penalty area without hesitation.
Then when everyone thought he was going to hit the goal himself, he suddenly crossed to the other side of the penalty area.
Vicente easily The score was 2:1.
Riquelme stood in front of his own penalty area and looked at Aiello who was celebrating with his teammates.
He seemed to have mixed feelings in his heart.
You must know that Aiello last season was at most a pole to Riquelme.
A rising star with great potential, but his performance this season is at a superstar level.
Whether it’s the league or the Champions League, it’s the same Meeting such an opponent would be a disaster for the team.
Indeed, in the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.
Pellegrini asked the defense players to strengthen their defense against Aiello.
It didn't take long for the home team to get results.
However, due to paying too much attention to the defense of Aiello, it directly led to the neglect of other Valencia offensive players, and the entire defense line focused on one thing and the other.
Finally, the price was paid in the 68th minute.
Albelda passed an overhead ball.
David Villa understood the idea and fired directly at the ball, extending the score to two goals.

At this time, fans who were worried about Valencia in this game can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Leading Villarreal 3:1 in the away game, will the result at home be worse?
So in the following time, the 3,000 visiting team fans present cheered and sang the Valencia Hymn and the Song of Ai.
In the end, the game ended with this score.
At the regular press conference after the game in the evening, the media reporters who had previously been skeptical about Valencia's game seemed to have forgotten all the words and deeds before the game and began to sing praises for Valencia.
Flores also saw the shamelessness of reporters again.
On the first day, many mainstream European media announced in advance that Valencia had entered the semi-finals.
However, for the sake of caution, Flores did not express the team's certainty of victory.
When interviewed by reporters, he seemed very modest.
"The first-round game at Love Song Stadium was just an accident.
We should still be rigorous.
Treating the second round of the game” Hearing Flores's answer, countless reporters began to slander him in their hearts: Damn you, you are pretending.
You have a two-goal margin in the away games and you still have three away goals.
You still have to be serious about continuing to pretend.
The next day, in addition to reporting on Valencia's away victory over Villarreal, the mainstream media in Europe also focused on Aiello, because with his goal in this game, he was already in the Champions League this season.
Thirteen goals were scored during the game, surpassing the record of the second most goals in a single season in the Champions League set by Puskas in the 5960 season and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 0203 season.
Aiello is now only one goal away from the 14 goals that Altafini set for the most goals in a single season in the Champions League in the 6263 season.
You must know that Valencia has already entered the semi-finals with half a foot, that is to say Aiello still has at least three Champions League games.
According to his current state, there should be no problem with scoring two goals in these three games and surpassing the single-season scoring record of Milan legend Altafini.
Even the 68-year-old Altafini accepted an interview with Turin Sports News at this time and specifically encouraged Aiello, "After waiting for so many years, someone is finally about to break the single-season scoring record I set back then. , this guy is good, come on."
A new record is about to be born, which is always worth looking forward to.
Over the weekend, Valencia also ushered in a new round of league opponents as they challenged Sevilla away from home.
Since they defeated Villarreal away from home in midweek, the next round of the game basically lost all suspense, so Flores did not make many adjustments to this game and continued to play with the strongest lineup.
After all, the Champions League has basically been able to enter the semi-finals, and there are not many variables.
But the league is different.
In the remaining nine rounds of the league, there are still many variables.
In order to take the initiative in your own hands, you cannot relax in any league.
At the same time, because Sevilla also focused on the UEFA Cup finals of 14, they did not send most of their main players in this game.
Sevilla, who played with semi-main players, lost 0:2 at home.
Valencia led by Aiello.
Since Barcelona also won the league at the same time, the gap between the two sides is still 11 points.
However, with only eight rounds left in the league, Valencia is getting closer and closer to the league championship.
But is it really that close?
It is worth mentioning that after playing this league game, Aiello has increased his number of league goals to 34, which means that he has equaled the number of goals scored by Ronaldo, who has the third most goals in a single season in La Liga.
In addition to the local media in Valencia that praised it, the Chinese media were the happiest.
But at this time, the local media in Catalonia seemed sour.
You must know that it was their former pride that was flattened.
After Altafini gave an interview to support Aiello, Ronaldo, who was preparing for the weekend league in Madrid, also accepted an interview with Marca, and then talked about Aiello's personal La Liga single-season scoring record.
Ronaldo seemed to have been mentally prepared for this problem, "Haha, new records will be created sooner or later, but I still have to cheer for this kid.
In the remaining seven rounds of the league, I must try my best to stay away from Passi Nou's record of 38 goals in a single season is only six goals."
However, because Ronaldo was in Real Madrid, he did not say anything more direct.
Because Pacino is a famous player in Real Madrid, he still needs to pay attention to his words and deeds.
So it feels weird.
But these are nothing to those who pay attention to Aiello, because they are full of confidence in Aiello.
In their minds, Aiello is synonymous with miracles and records.

At this time, Valencia Sports News was also cheering for Aiello, "Whenever it comes to the second half of the season, it is always the time to achieve results, and sometimes it is also the time to set records.
Aiello is in the Champions League this season.
Already scored 13 goals in the game, second only to Altafe Ni’s single-season scoring record of fourteen goals.
At the same time, he also scored 34 league goals in La Liga.
He is only four goals short of Pacino’s 38 goals.
I firmly believe that Ai will definitely take over.
He will score more goals in the following games and break all the records in front of him.”
In order to express their support for Aiello, local fans in Valencia are preparing to give Aiello a big surprise in the second leg of the Champions League 14th final at home. s: Book communication group: 426343867:
