Chapter 404: A Hard Game (Three Watches)


"According to reliable news from reporters in front of us, after two generals, Vicente and Alberda, caught colds, Valencia's star player Ai was also suspected of having the flu because he missed all the training yesterday afternoon to adapt to the field. , and according to the hotel staff at the hotel where Valencia stayed, their old team doctor bought a lot of fever-reducing medicine at a nearby pharmacy."

Flores angrily pressed the off button on the TV remote control.

Although Aiello expressed his desire to compete at noon yesterday, Flores could not make fun of Aiello's body, so he naturally rejected Aiello's request.

Of course, here he also thought of ways to reduce losses.

That is to cover up Aiello's absence from the game due to a cold before handing over the starting lineup to UEFA.

At that time, it can disrupt the pre-match arrangements of the home team Shakhtar Donetsk and minimize the loss of Aiello's absence. .

What he didn't expect was that the Ukrainian reporters were so powerful.

They reported the news that Aiello might miss the game in just one day, which directly disrupted his wishful thinking.

At the same time, Lucescu, the head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk, also saw the sports news on the Ukrainian National Sports Channel that morning.

Suddenly, the expression on his face changed from surprise to surprise.

He knew that if this game was like what the news said, then the team would definitely be able to fight He doesn't dare to hope for the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

As the head coach, he knows better than anyone how much the team has.

Being able to participate in the UEFA Cup is already very good.

Now the team has three games, one draw and two losses and has accumulated 1 point.

To appear in the UEFA Cup in third place in the group, they must remain unbeaten at least against La Liga champions Valencia.

It would be better if you win Ai Luo's absence due to a cold will be an opportunity to score points.

This news is simply a turning point for the team to advance to the UEFA Cup "I want to play."

Aiello tried his best to keep his tone and expression normal, because he knew best his physical condition and could not meet the requirements of playing, but his eagerness to play was unparalleled.

"Sorry, Ai, your physical condition is no longer able to meet the requirements for playing."

Flores also tried to make his tone more friendly, shrugged, and rejected Ai Luo's request for a fight.

"But I have no problem at all, I can run and jump," Aiello said excitedly, fearing that Flores would deprive him of his chance to play.

Flores continued to shake his head, clearly determined not to let Aiello start.

"How can you believe that my physical condition is okay?"

Ai Luo's voice was loud, attracting the attention of his teammates.

Maybe Flores didn't want to make the relationship with Aiello too tense.

After a little thought, his tone became less firm, "Unless you ask team doctor Hernandez to agree."

Ten minutes later.

"Ai's latest physical condition can meet the minimum requirements for playing."

Hernandez took the initiative to find Flores and said.

"Really?"

Flores was still a little confused and raised his eyebrows.

It was Hernandez himself who told him before that Aiello's physical condition was not in the best condition.

"But that's not what you said before. " "Sir, but the current diagnosis is completely clear."

Hernandez pouted and spread his hands.

Although Flores is still confused, team doctor Hernandez has already said that he meets the conditions for playing.

If he insists on not letting Aiello play, it will definitely cause conflicts between him and Aiello.

After all, Aiello is now But he is the star of the team.

La Liga is not the Premier League.

If there is a conflict between the head coach and the star player, it will 100% be the head coach leaving.

So Flores sighed and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Then he turned around and went back to the hotel room, probably to modify the technical and tactical methods of this game.

The old team doctor Hernandez shook his head, sighed, and left the hotel lobby.

"Ai, remember your promise.

If you feel uncomfortable with this game, you must tell me, otherwise I won't help you in the future."

The old team doctor Hernandez came to Aiello's room after leaving the hotel lobby and said harshly.

"I know, I know."

After hearing what Hernandez said, Aiello excitedly hugged the bad old man, patted his chest and said, "Absolutely no problem."

But I said in my heart, "Unless this game is guaranteed to win" On the night of November 1st, it snowed again in the sky over Donetsk, and it was also mixed with drizzle, which is what people often call sleet.

In the final analysis, Ailuo's cold was caused by the body's inability to adapt to the sudden temperature change, which caused the body's immune function to lose its effect.

The only way to recover quickly was to replenish water and increase the body's nutrient storage.

Therefore, in order to recover as much as possible before this game, when he could not swallow nutritious meals, he forced himself to eat them to ensure that his body had enough energy to sustain a fierce game.

Being able to win Shakhtar Donetsk 2:0 in the last round of home games can only be said to have beaten them with a rough hand.

Aiello knew that this team was not as weak as the outside world said.

On the contrary, the counterattack was very powerful. sharp.

Fernandinho, one of the three Shakhtar heroes in later generations, has also shown his talent.

In addition, there is Croatian international Srna on the right back.

This is Shakhtar Donetsk's strongest defensive end. part.

If he cannot play in this game, it will definitely be difficult for the team's offense to open up the situation.

Also, his sudden appearance will inevitably disrupt Shakhtar Donetsk's defensive deployment.

This is also an excellent opportunity.

At 6:30 pm local time in Ukraine, the Donbass Athletic Stadium was packed with nearly 40,000 home team fans.

The stadium was filled to the brim and the atmosphere was quite warm.

But the home team's locker room was a different story.

Head coach Lucescu looked at the visiting team's starting list and secretly cursed Valencia as despicable.

Because after he determined that Aiello had a cold, the team's tactics were carried out without Aiello, but now that the game was about to start, he learned that Aiello could play.

It would be fine if Aiello was a small role, but he is Valencia's star player and the team's strongest attacking point.

This change in personnel has made him quite passive.

"Rosa, your mission will change later in the game.

Keep an eye on their No. 9."

Lucescu suddenly came to his senses and said first to Fernandinho, and then looked at the team's main right back, Sil.

Na, "Dario, the previous plan is cancelled.

Your task in this game is to defend.

Don't go beyond half-court unless necessary."

This tactical adjustment immediately made the team's center Aghaova quite dissatisfied, but due to the authority of the head coach, he did not express it.

Srna is a very important part of the team's offense, with excellent physical strength and Accurate 45-degree crosses from the right, often giving himself assists.

Allowing Srna to stay at half-court is equivalent to losing an assister.

"It is said that on the second day after Valencia arrived in Donetsk, the team's main players Albelda, Vicente and Ai all suffered from severe colds, and according to local reports, they should be very authoritative and credible.

Because during the adaptation training yesterday and today, the above three people did not appear on the training ground, so we fully doubted whether he could appear on the field, but unexpectedly he appeared on the field.

Is this going to happen?

It will be a smoke bomb before the game.”

Sky commentator Andy Gray asked his guest co-star.

"Judging from the starting lineups of both sides that have just been obtained, it is indeed questionable, but it is completely impossible for a weak team like Shakhtar Donetsk to use smoke bombs unless they face a team like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Team"

"According to what you said, it is very possible that he played in this game while sick."

The guest commentator nodded, agreeing with this view.

Discussions like this on Sky TV are also a question for the commentators in the studio to explain this game.

Is it because they are sick or are they setting off smoke bombs before the game?

It is worth mentioning that the local commentator in Ukraine is still quite optimistic: "Whether this game is with Aiello or without him, this game is played at our home court.

I always firmly believe that Shakhtar Donetsk will win in the end.

The Spanish team, which has adapted to playing in the sun with the help of the weather, will definitely not be able to adapt to this kind of game in severe weather.

This is our opportunity."

Huang Jianxiang was still worried about Aiello's appearance, because he had a special phone call with Aiello before the game, and he also vaguely learned that Aiello did have a cold.

Now he is quite conflicted.

"Flores's formation is really questionable.

Is it really worth it to field such a strong lineup in a game that has nothing to do with them?"

In the end, Huang Jianxiang could only blame Flores for the problem.

Shakhtar Donetsk's home jersey is mainly orange, but Valencia's away jersey is also mainly orange, so they wore their home white jersey in this game.

In order to adjust his mental state to the best, Ai Luo did not hand over his thick down jacket to the assistant coach until before kick-off.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Aiello passed the football under his feet to David Villa, and then ran to his position.

At this time, Ballack also passed the ball.

Aiello took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing that was not smooth, and walked slowly towards the football.

At this moment, Aghaova from the right rushed over, so Aiello instinctively used the outside instep of his right foot to pass the ball.

Move to the right of the body to avoid the opponent's interception.

However, Agavajo did not close his foot and kicked Aiello's supporting foot directly with his left foot.

The latter fell to the ground and the referee's voice also rang.

Ai Luo did not expect that the opponent would restrict him so tightly and start to press tightly as he approached the midfield.

He knew that this game was difficult. s: Posted in the third update, please vote:
