Chapter 348: Drop the chain at a critical time


When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the entire Mestalla stadium seemed to be plunged into extreme madness.

In the minds of these fans, in addition to entering the Champions League finals in the 9900 and 0001 seasons, , and never entered the semifinals again.

Although it was only five short years, it felt more like they had been waiting for a century.

Canizares, who was sitting in the VIP seats during this game, also raised his arms at the same moment to celebrate the team's advancement to this year's Champions League semi-finals.

He once thought that he would never have the chance to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League in his career, but he did not expect that he would still have this opportunity at the end of his career. only Canizares lowered his head and looked at his right hand wrapped in gauze, and sighed.

He didn't know if he would still be in such excellent condition after the injury on his finger healed.

Seeing Aiello surrounded by his teammates, he felt sincerely happy.

Under his leadership, Valencia will go further and further, but how long can they keep him?

On the next day, Spain's mainstream media had already reported "the Champions League semi-finals of the Derby Civil War" as the headline focus in advance.

That night, Barcelona lived up to expectations, narrowly beating Inter Milan 2:1 at home, and met with Valencia, who had advanced to the second half, in the semi-finals to achieve the La Liga derby in the Champions League semi-finals.

AC Milan returned to home and defeated Lyon 3:1, while Arsenal drew 0:0 with Juventus at the Alps Stadium, with a total score of 2:0 to advance to the semifinals.

So the opponents in the other semi-final are AC Milan and Arsenal.

As a result, mainstream media in Europe began to speculate on which team would be able to enter the Champions League finals.

Of course, apart from the guesswork of which two teams can reach the finals, there is another thing that shocked the entire European football world, and that is Aiello's performance in the second leg of the Champions League 14th final against Villarreal.

He scored a goal, so he also scored 14 goals in the Champions League, tying the record of goals in a single season of the Champions League set by AC Milan's Altafini in the 6263 season.

But the space he occupies is not very large.

Mundo Deportivo, the mouthpiece of Barcelona, ​​began to give out the data as soon as possible, but this data is not in the league, because Barcelona's results in the past two seasons are definitely inferior to Valencia, because Ai Luo has recently He scored 9 goals against Barcelona, ​​which is a normal way to avoid this disadvantage.

"We finally have to face Valencia.

I believe that like many Barcelona fans, everyone is full of confidence in the next two rounds of the semi-finals.

Because we are a world-class giant, and they are only slightly famous in the country.

We have won the UEFA Champions League, and they have only won two consecutive runner-up places.

So in the next two UEFA Champions League semi-finals, we must be Barcelona who win the game."

“In the past four league games, Barcelona and Valencia have recorded one win and three losses, which puts them at an absolute disadvantage.

But don’t forget that this is the top league in Europe.

The results of the UEFA Champions League are carried over to the Champions League.

It is not true.

Neither the influence nor the rhythm of the game can be compared with the league.

More importantly, we have more experience in the Champions League knockout rounds than Valencia, so it must be us, Barcelona, ​​who win the two-legged match."

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend So the two capital newspapers, Marca and AS, abandoned all their prejudices at this moment and began to cheer for Valencia.

The theme used by Marca was: Barsac Star "As many fans know, Valencia has won three consecutive games against Barcelona, ​​scoring ten goals and conceding six.

Among them, their top scorer Ai alone scored nine against Barcelona.

The ball completed a hat-trick of hat-tricks.

This is a mark that no one can erase.

We firmly believe that Valencia will stand out in the game against Barcelona and enter the Stade de France in Paris."

The topic of AS reported is: Will there be a big four hat trick?

"Ai has already completed the great feat of hat-trick after hat-trick with Barcelona.

I believe that by this time, many people can't help but speculate that his four-year hat-trick will come in the Champions League semi-finals.

There is no doubt that this game will It will be the time for Barcelona to prove himself.

We will wait and see if Hengdao kills Barcelona immediately."

The focus of the local sports media in Valencia is also different from that of the influential Mundo Deportivo, Marca, and AS in Spain.

They focused on Aiello's goal in this game.

"Tie the record and tie the 43-year-old Champions League single-season scoring record.

It was once thought that no one could break the record.

It was already equaled by our prince last night, but don't forget, everyone, Valencia still has at least two Champions League games to play.

Another issue that deserves everyone's attention is that we face Barcelona in the semi-finals.

As we all know, Ai has already scored nine goals against Barcelona.

It can be said that It is the club where he has contributed the most goals in his career.

So we have reason to believe that it will be us, Valencia, who will reach the finals because we have an omnipotent Ai.”

Turin Sports News, which has always supported Aiello, also expressed support for Aiello at the appropriate time, "In another 14th final yesterday, Barcelona defeated Inter Milan 2:1 at home, so they were in the semi-finals.

The opponent is Valencia.

Fans who follow La Liga will know that in the past three games, Barcelona and Valencia have not won a single game and lost all.

So we have reason to believe that in the next two and a half games In the finals, Valencia will defeat the powerful Barcelona under the leadership of Ai.”

The mainstream media in Europe are making a lot of noise about this game, and they have come to the conclusion that Valencia will most likely beat Barcelona to advance to the final.

But is that really the case?

Flores doesn't think so.

The league is the league, the Champions League is the Champions League The league is a long season, and the knockout rounds of the Champions League are all two-round contests.

If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted, and the efforts of the entire season will be in vain.

Therefore, this Champions League semi-final must not be treated with the same attitude as the league, otherwise a few lives will not be enough to die.

Moreover, the report above by Mundo Deportivo is very reasonable.

Barcelona has much more experience in the Champions League knockout rounds than Valencia, and is more comfortable in controlling such top-level competitions.

The next day, the day after the second leg of the Champions League 14 finals, UEFA also gave the time for the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals.

The two two-leg semi-finals will be held on April 19th and 20th and April 26th and 27th.

At the weekend, Valencia hosted Cadiz at home.

Valencia made some personnel rotation adjustments in this game, but Aiello is not on the list of adjustments because he is only four goals away from Pacino, the La Liga single-season scoring record, so he wants to take advantage of it.

Score more goals in the next games, otherwise it will be difficult to repay the fans who support him.

Flores was not surprised by this, but chose to support Aiello very cooperatively.

The semi-main lineup, led by Aiello and Alberda, finally defeated Cadiz, the favorite to be relegated this season, with a big score of 5:3.

Aiello personally scored his fourth hat trick of the season, directly defeating Cadiz.

The 35 league goals created by Atletico Madrid player Baltazar in the 8889 season far exceeded the past.

As soon as the game ended, Ai Luo was surrounded by a swarm of reporters.

In this game, he scored his fourth hat trick of the season.

Aiello was in a very good mood and became the player with the second most goals in a single season in La Liga.

What's more important is that he has seven league games left.

As a result, the media who interviewed Aiello all thought of one thing, and then they were collectively shocked: How many goals can he score this season?

"It's not up to me to decide how many goals we can score, so I hope everyone will focus back on this game.

We are a whole, and I am just a part of this whole.

If I am allowed to play alone, If so, he wouldn’t have been kicked out early, right?”

Regarding this question, Aiello did not give a direct answer, but changed the topic to the team.

So the media are even more curious.

The next day, in addition to reporting that Aiello surpassed the record of the second most goals in a single season in La Liga set by Atletico Madrid player Baltazar in the 8889 season, the media also speculated on how many goals he could score this season.

Among them, Valencia Sport’s guess is the boldest, “I firmly believe that Ai will be able to score 50 league goals by the end of this season, because our next opponents are Celta Vigo, Espanyol, and Bid.

Athletic Club, Alaves, Mallorca, Atletico Madrid, Osasuna , except for the away games against Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid and Osasuna, which are a bit difficult, the other teams have obvious differences in strength.

Moreover, everyone should not forget that the stronger the opponent, the better the condition of Ai , so we have enough reasons to believe that he will score 50 league goals a season.”

That night, Barcelona also ushered in this round’s opponent Real Madrid Originally, the home team was full of confidence in this game, but what they didn't expect was that Real Madrid actually played 1:1 with the home team Barcelona despite playing one less player.

When the results came out, everyone was shocked With only seven rounds left in the league, Valencia leads Barcelona by 13 points.

At the same time, this point difference also shocked Barcelona's top management, because weren't they making so many small moves just to make up for the disadvantage of returning to the league?

But they didn't expect that they would fall behind at the critical moment. s: Book communication group: 426343867, there will be three updates tonight:
