The six rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2006-2007 season have all ended, and the top two teams in each group that have advanced to the top 16 have also been settled.
However, the draw for the 18th final will be held ten days later in Nyon, Switzerland, the UEFA headquarters.
Valencia, the only team to achieve a complete victory in the group stage, is naturally the team that has attracted the most attention.
Among them, Aiello also scored twice in this game and broke his own record with 11 goals in the six rounds of the group stage.
Last season, he set a record for the most goals in the Champions League group stage and attracted much attention.
At the same time, the three major European bookmakers have once again lowered Valencia's winning odds, chasing second place.
Aiello was able to break his own Champions League group stage scoring record set last season in this game, and was naturally recognized by the mainstream European media.
However, these words of praise are as common as eating and drinking for Aiello. .
The European mainstream media did not publicize it, but just briefly mentioned it.
After all, Ai Luo's scoring efficiency in more than a year is really terrifying.
“In the twelve games of the Champions League last season, Ai personally scored 16 goals, breaking Altafini’s long-standing Champions League single-season scoring record, and he also scored in six group stage games this season.
He broke the group stage scoring record he set last season.
I believe that at this time, many readers are interested in whether he has a chance this season to break the single-season scoring record he set last season."
A summary of L'Equipe's Champions League column.
The top scorer is in excellent form, Valencia’s opponents in the 18th final will suffer The Guardian Horror 10 goals last season, 11 goals this season Gazzetta dello Sport A moment of silence for Valencia's potential rivals AS As time goes by, except for the Chinese media who are still looking for the truth about Aiello missing out on the European Ballon d'Or by one point, the mainstream media in Europe are focusing on the last three World Footballers at the end of the year. candidate list.
It turned out that Aiello was nominated as a candidate for the 2006 World Footballer by the head coach of the Spanish national team Aragones due to his perfect performance last season.
Later, he was out of control and won the honors of the national teams and captains of various European countries.
Recognized, he was directly entered into the list of 30 candidates for the World Footballer.
What's even more unexpected is that Aiello's name actually appeared in the final three candidates for the World Footballer title announced on FIFA's official website today.
Therefore, as soon as FIFA announced the results on its official website, all the media paying attention to this year's World Footballer were quite surprised.
Because according to the current reputation in international football, it is quite normal for Germany's World Cup golden ball winner Zidane and silver ball winner Cannavaro to be the final three candidates, but Ai Luo His popularity in the world is not as good as Ronaldinho, Henry, and Buffon.
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that Aiello has become a hotly discussed figure in the world's major media due to his recent regret of missing out on the European Golden Globe Award by one point, so a combination of circumstances has added a lot of impression points to him.
Especially during the days when the European Golden Globe Awards were presented, Aiello was searched more than 100 million times on the Google search engine, becoming the king of searches that day.
As we all know, the selection of the World Footballer is not as professional as the European Ballon d'Or founded by French football.
It is only voted by the head coaches and captains of each national team.
The competition is more about the player's impression score in world football.
For example, you can't expect those very poor and backward countries in Africa, South America, and Asia to have time to watch European La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, so their national team coaches and captains learn more about the world's famous players from the media. players.
In this regard, Aiello can be said to be at a comprehensive disadvantage.
You must know that the Chinese national team in the past two years has been notorious around the world.
But it happens that because of the hot discussion some time ago, Aiello has completely gained a lot of impression points among the backward football countries.
When voting, he will naturally be inclined to this rising star, because some national team coaches who have the votes and the captain feel that they have become numb by always voting for those old and scumbag players.
Now, when the media from China learned that Aiello was selected as the final three candidates for the year-end FIFA World Player of the Year, they were completely confused.
The awarding of World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or are different.
Even if Ai Luo does not win the World Footballer in the end, even if he finishes third, he can still be on camera.
This is an excellent opportunity to raise the profile of Chinese football around the world.
They're as excited as a cat smelling fish Of course, Ai Luo was also confused.
Didn’t the last three of this year’s World Footballer include Zidane, Cannavaro and Ronaldinho who performed well in the World Cup and won the Champions League?
Could it be that this little butterfly has completely disrupted the order of this world?
he doesn't know So when he was called to the office by head coach Flores, he saw the invitation letter from FIFA that day to the three finalists for the World Footballer of the Year held in Zurich, Switzerland at 8 o'clock in the evening on December 18th.
When , the whole person was stunned on the spot.
Reporters who had been indifferent because the European Golden Globe Awards came to an end came to Valencia as if they had taken an aphrodisiac, seeking an opportunity to interview Aiello.
For these enthusiastic reporters, Ai Luo did not satisfy them, but still spent time in training and additional training.
His behavior has unknowingly infected Wang Xiaolei, who is currently the main goalkeeper in the Valencia B team, and has a profound impact on Jiang Zhipeng and Wu Xi in the Valencia U17 youth team.
As a result, these young players who are pursuing their dreams in a foreign country began to sigh: There is really no shortcut to success.
Although most reporters were unable to interview Aiello, Enrique Wien, editor-in-chief of Valencia Sports News and Qi Liuhai, editor-in-chief of New Wolf Network, who have a very good relationship with Aiello, have exclusive revelations.

Note: Because of his good personal relationship with Aiello, Enrique Venn became the editor-in-chief.
Qi Liuhai, a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair, was also poached by NewWolf.com at a high price to be the chief editor in charge of football reporting in the sports department of NewWolf.com.
Time flies so fast, the 14th round of the 2006-2007 La Liga season has begun.
Valencia, which has won 13 consecutive league victories, faces Deportivo La Coruna at home, which has been winless in three rounds recently.
Aiello was put on the bench by Flores in this game, but with his two goals in the second half, he helped the team defeat Deportivo La Coruna 4:0 and continued to create the best in the new European top leagues.
Opening record.
After this game, Valencia is already 13 points ahead of Barcelona, which ranks second in the league.
This is definitely an incredible gap.
The league has only passed 14 rounds.
Spain's mainstream media can't wait to give Valencia the title of defending La Liga champion.
However, head coach Flores and the players on the team are still quite modest and have not recognized this title.
Otherwise, after the start of the second half of the season, he will definitely become the primary target of attack by La Liga teams.
After the fourteenth round of La Liga was over, everyone's attention was not on the final three candidates for the World Footballer, but on the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League 18 finals in Nyon, Switzerland.
As the only team that has won all six rounds of the Champions League this season, Valencia has naturally received the most attention.
The second-placed teams in each group except Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Roma have all panicked.
Because the draw ceremony for the Champions League 18 finals follows the principle of avoidance of teams in the same group stage and under the same Football Association, that is to say, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Roma, which ranked second among the eight groups that advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League this season, are Avoided Valencia.
It will be a tragedy for the remaining five opponents, because Valencia has still maintained a complete victory in all competitions this season.
In such a terrifying state, it is natural to stay away.
Therefore, Inter Milan, Eindhoven, Celtic, Porto and Lille have become Valencia's definite potential opponents, and Inter Milan is naturally the most powerful opponent among the second place in each group and the first place in each group.
One of the opponents you least want to encounter.
It is worth mentioning that during the draw ceremony that day, Aiello once again said, "It should be Inter Milan."
The next result can be imagined, Valencia really won the lottery against Inter Milan.
Alas, everyone is used to Ai Luo's prophecies, so this time they were not surprised, but accepted the reality with a smile.
What’s also interesting is that after being drawn to Inter Milan, both Marchena and Baraja became very excited.
Later, when everyone asked, they found out that the two had previously threatened to book European football for the next year because of Ai Luo.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Materazzi had a conflict after speaking arrogantly after winning the Ballon d'Or.
Therefore, this game is bound to attract the attention of all good fans.
At the same time, there are two other games that attract fans' attention: Real Madrid vs.
Bayern, Barcelona vs.
Liverpool The former is a direct dialogue with the established strong teams, while the latter is the winner of the past two UEFA Champions League championships, so it will naturally receive a lot of attention.
The reason why the UEFA Champions League is attracting more and more attention is not only due to the gold content of the game itself, but also the media's hype on both sides of the game.
However, this kind of hype only lasted for one day.
Because next is the league match day in various European countries, and the final winner of this year's World Footballer is chosen.
At the weekend, the whole Valencia squad came to Zaragoza.
Everyone originally thought that Valencia would win this game without any suspense, but the final result surprised all the media who paid attention to the game.
Zaragoza was tied 0:0 at home. to Valencia.
The next day, in addition to reporting that Valencia had ended its 14-game winning streak in the league, the media also focused on the World Footballer of the Year award ceremony that was to be held in Zurich, Switzerland the next day. s: Please vote for the new week:
