On the second day after taking a flight back to Valencia, Aiello could already start individual off-ball training, and on the third day he could practice together with his teammates.
Next, the media's attention shifted from Aiello's participation in the game with a high fever and returned to La Liga, because Valencia has achieved an astonishing eight consecutive victories in the league, which is far away from the nine consecutive league wins created by Real Madrid in the 1968-1969 season.
Just one game away from a good start This is quite an incredible record, and this record that has been sealed for 38 years is only one step away.
Flores still seemed quite low-key when being interviewed by reporters, and did not express his confidence in winning.
He knew that if he really said that, then the away game would be very difficult.
"It is really difficult to equal Real Madrid's best start of nine consecutive wins in the 1968-1969 season, even though we have now won eight consecutive games, because our opponent is the Spaniard, a respectable opponent."
When Flores' words reached Catalonia, Espanyol head coach Valverde looked much better.
When interviewed by a local reporter, he smiled and said: "For the day after tomorrow, That league, I believe it was a great league.”
Although Valverde did not finish his words, the local reporter in Valencia who received the news was very happy because what he wanted to express was already very obvious.
As a great game, how could there be a situation like the one against Racing Santander in the league?
This game must be a fair decisive battle.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
The day before the game, all the Valencia players took the bus to Catalonia, and it happened to be afternoon when they arrived at the hotel.
As the star player, Aiello naturally received the most attention, and then it was normal to talk about whether Valencia could tie Real Madrid's best start record.
After more than a year of experience, Aiello answered the reporters' questions in an orderly manner, "As Enrique said, the Spaniards are a very respectable team.
It's unfair to use the words "record" on us, this is just an ordinary league, the home team is Spain and the visiting team is Valencia, that's it."
Ai Luo's answer made Flores give a thumbs up.
In fact, Flores is very eager to tie the best start created by Real Madrid.
After all, as a coach who came out of Real Madrid's youth training camp, he naturally hopes to make some achievements for Real Madrid's senior management to see, and coaching Real Madrid is his lifelong dream.
Before the ninth round of La Liga between Espanyol and Valencia, Barcelona, which was already eight points behind Valencia, challenged Deportivo La Coruna away.
I don’t know if it was because of the home team’s excellent form or because Barcelona was affected by Chelsea’s draw with Chelsea in midweek.
This game actually ended in a 1:1 match.
This result makes all Barcelona fans start to worry You must know that Valencia, the biggest competitor in the league, still maintains a complete victory.
In addition, the Spaniard is Barcelona's mortal enemy in the same city.
We should not ignore the possibility that the Spaniard may have a negative game at home.
Anyway, their chances of qualifying for the European competition are not very high, so why not give them a favor?
Therefore, before the match between Espanyol and Valencia at home, the local media in Catalonia began to deliberately create public opinion for the two teams, hoping to ignite the anger of both sides of the game so that the home team could perform well without expecting them to defeat Valencia is in excellent form, so at least it should be a draw.
If they are 10 points behind Valencia after only nine rounds of the league, it is still unknown whether Barcelona, which has been in great fluctuations this season, can catch up.
It is worth mentioning that there was another league match at the same time.
Last season’s UEFA Cup winner Sevilla defeated Osasuna at home with two goals, so they surpassed Barcelona and moved into second place in the standings.
With one game in hand, they are still six points behind Valencia.
This ordinary league becomes extraordinary because Valencia may tie Real Madrid's record for the best start to the league in 1968-1969.
Before the game, the Catalan media tried their best to spark sparks between the two teams, but the result was beyond their expectations.
Both sides of the game remained silent about the game.
No matter how hard they tried, it was in this way.
Aiello has just recovered from a serious illness.
Flores originally did not want to put Aiello into the 18-man roster for this round, but then Aiello expressed his desire to fight, coupled with the assurance of team doctor Hernandez. , which allowed him to enter the 18-man roster for the game.
After all, colds can be serious or minor illnesses.
Aiello is now the soul of this team.
Anyone can be missing, but he cannot be missing.
If Aiello is really allowed to start for such a false start, it is really not worth it.
He was replaced by Vicente, who did not play in the Champions League.
At the same time, in this game, Flores also made two position adjustments to the lineup.
Viana and David Silva replaced Ballack and Alberda in the starting positions respectively.
But this league match at the El Prat Stadium in Cornea did not disappoint everyone.

Both sides of the game played very beautifully from the first second of kick-off.
The back-and-forth made the fans on both sides in the stands enjoy themselves, but they were always on tenterhooks every time they saw the other side taking the ball towards their own goal.
The two sides were tied at 2:2 in the first half, with David Villa scoring twice and keeping the score tight.
Aiello did not replace Vicente until the 20th minute of the second half.
What's interesting is that when he came on the field, both the home team fans and the away team fans clapped their hands at Aiello, and thunderous applause resounded throughout the stadium.
Hyde, who was sitting in the stadium studio, couldn't help but sigh, "Ai's fighting spirit has been fully recognized by Espanyol fans.
At the same time, I also believe that he will not disappoint the fans in the stands.
Espanyol is a respectable opponent.
So we should let them die more decently and directly.”
Aiello created an excellent opportunity in the second minute after he came on the field.
He dribbled the ball from the left and used his speed to break through three defenders in a row, and then suddenly made a pass when he was close to the baseline.
David Villa rushed to catch up, but what they didn't expect was that their goalkeeper, Cameroon international Kameni, reacted quickly and subconsciously reached out to block David Villa's sure-to-win header.
It also cost David Villa his first hat-trick of the season.
But as the game progressed, Aiello's condition got better and better.
In the 73rd and 75th minutes, he scored two consecutive goals to help the team take the lead.
Another two goals in three minutes, once again making the die-hard fans from afar cheer with joy.
Of course, this is not happiness for the team's victory, but happiness for Aiello's rapid recovery from a serious illness.
They all know that if this game ends with this score, the team will create the best start in history and tie the best start in the league created by Real Madrid in the 1968-1969 season.
In the end, Valencia relied on Aiello's two goals in the second half to help the team defeat the Spanish with a score of 4:2.
While tying the best start in the league created by Real Madrid, it also increased its points advantage in the league to 9 points.
This is what makes the team really happy Because after the start of the second half of the season, the team will definitely fight on three fronts and can expand its lead in the first half of the season, which will be beneficial to the team's schedule for the second half of the season.
The ninth round of the league is all over.
Valencia ranks first with a record of nine wins.
Second is Sevilla, a full nine points behind Valencia, and third-ranked Barcelona is behind the first.
Lencia has 10 points, not to mention fourth-ranked Real Madrid, which has directly increased to 12 points.
No one expected that Valencia would be far ahead before the 13th schedule of the new season.
Compared with the lead at the beginning of last season, Valencia's lead this season is even more obvious.
The local media and fans in Valencia even joked about how many rounds in advance they can win the championship this season.
Of course, this is just a joke among Valencia fans.
If the club does this, it will be tantamount to seeking revenge.
After Valencia defeated Espanyol, their next league opponent was the famous Athletic Bilbao at home and away.
No one doubted that such an outstanding Valencia would draw or lose at their home court.
Even when Athletic Bilbao's head coach Felix led his team to Valencia for an interview, he said: "Valencia is the leader of the league and a contender for the league championship, and we are just We are fighting for relegation, and our strength is not at the same level at all.”
Many reporters in front of him subconsciously pursed their lips.
This was too obvious a sign of weakness.
Someone also added, it’s too fake. indeed.
Felix originally wanted to show weakness to make the home team relax their vigilance.
Only in this way could they have a chance.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to face such an outstanding Valencia team.
After all, it is unacceptable for the team he leads to become a stepping stone for Valencia to set a new record.
Showing weakness is the only way to make opponents relax their vigilance.
Because Athletic Bilbao has not won a victory at the Mestalla Stadium for a long time, and the most recent victory dates back to the 1987-1988 season.
However, he underestimated Valencia's ambition to set a new record.
Is it useful to show weakness against such a team:
