After finishing the league match with Real Madrid, the whole team took a flight back to Valencia that night because they had to urgently prepare for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with Liverpool the next day.
The next day, reporters who were paying attention to the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Mestalla Stadium came to the city of Valencia and began to arrange targeted interview tasks, but like av5, gd sports, Sh Sports and other well-known Chinese TV stations have made arrangements a long time ago.
Other reporters from Europe who came to Valencia to cover the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals needed to re-customize their hotels, but it was a bit difficult at this time, because after it was confirmed that Valencia had advanced to the semi-finals, there were many hotels nearby in Europe.
Chinese and foreign students have already booked hotels and game tickets in advance.
They did not appear in last season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals, and Valencia's last Champions League home game of the season is naturally not to be missed.
According to the latest odds issued by Europe's three major betting companies, betfair, bet365 and William Hill, Valencia, which eliminated Chelsea, has surpassed Manchester United and become the most popular team to win the championship.
Among them, bet365 odds betting company has offered the lowest odds of 237 to 1, while the odds of the other two major betting companies are slightly higher, but they are also at the top of the other three teams that have advanced to the semi-finals.
Ranked second is Manchester United, third is AC Milan, and last is Valencia's opponent in the Champions League semifinals, Liverpool.
But if you underestimate Liverpool because of the odds, you are not far from being eliminated.
After all, Liverpool can be said to be the most successful team in England.
In European competitions, Liverpool alone basically supports the honor of the entire England, and they have lived up to expectations and won the most European championships among English teams.
Five Champions League trophies.
What Aiello didn't expect was that when he drove his Koenigsegg x Blade series to the parking lot of the training base the next day, he encountered a lot of reporters.
Following the previous experience of Ai Luo getting out of the car and rushing out of the siege, the reporters did not give Ai Luo any chance this time.
After he parked the car, they directly surrounded the car.
This behavior left Ai Luo speechless, so he could only accept the reporter's interview with a straight face.
What makes Ai Luo dumbfounded even more is that there are also many Chinese reporters involved.
Why are the Chinese so troublesome to the Chinese?
Facing reporters' questions, Aiello's answer was nothing more than "Winning Liverpool is part of the plan" or "I will strive to score goals."
Of course, these cannot meet the requirements of reporters.
Aiello had no choice but to speak out what was in his heart, "This season's UEFA Champions League has entered the semi-finals, which means we are only two games away from Athens, so why not win and advance to the finals?
In fact, I would say reaching the semi-finals is already a very good result.”
Looking at a group of reporters who looked down upon him, Aiello could only shrug his shoulders and said: "Well, my goal is to win the Champions League this season.
Are you satisfied?"
d.
Should you be so perfunctory?
It’s not easy to make a living The reporters could only roll their eyes as they listened to what Aiello said in the interview.
Looking at a group of reporters who were stunned, Ai Luo proudly pushed away the reporters blocking his way, then hummed the tune "Sister, take the bow, brother, I'll walk on the shore", and walked towards the training base, leaving a group of reporters looking at each other. . and Chinese reporters who wanted to laugh but were holding back their laughter.
It's really hard to understand Among them, a reporter from Marca gave a definition to the current Aiello.
His clear reporter said that Aiello a year ago was quite high-profile.
No matter what time, I always want to take the first place, but now In fact, on this day, not only Ai Luo was blocked in the parking lot by reporters, but every player who came to the first team training base was blocked.
Even Wang Xiaolei, who is now the second goalkeeper of the first team, did not let go.
However, he escaped only because of his low level of knowledge of English and Spanish.
After all the Liverpool players arrived at the Valencia International Airport, reporters who had been waiting at the exit for a long time surrounded them.
For such a formation of reporters, the players who had long been accustomed to living under the flashlight did not have any concern.
Not used to it, Gerrard and Alonso, who are relatively good-looking, even pose from time to time to satisfy reporters.
The Liverpool players performed with such ease that it felt more like they were visiting Valencia than playing.
Of course, among the entire Liverpool team, the most eye-catching one is former Valencia coach Benitez.
After all, Benitez contributed two league championships and a UEFA Cup championship in the three seasons he coached Valencia.
It was also because of his coaching at that time that he left a valuable legacy to the current Valencia team. wealth, including the use of Albelda, Baraja, Ayala, and others Two years ago, Valencia played against Liverpool in the 2005 European Super Cup.
At that time, Aiello's brace helped the team defeat Liverpool coached by Benitez 2:0.
So it was normal for reporters to mention this game.
Benitez didn't pay too much attention to that game.
After all, it was a game two years ago.
The team's main lineup structure is also different from two years ago.

There is no concern for the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.
Reference value.
"That was a game two years ago.
There is nothing worthy of reference for us who are about to compete.
The only difference is that we were the Champions League champions that year, and Valencia was the UEFA Cup champion."
This season, Benitez has missed the league, League Cup and FA Cup, leaving only the Champions League trophy, so he is full of confidence in this game.
"That is to say, in this first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Mestalla, it will be us, Liverpool, who win."
The local media in Spain were naturally unhappy with what Benitez said, but they did not refute it, because the result of the game was the best answer.
You must know that Valencia has won all the Champions League home games this season.
It is believed that Liverpool, which has the lowest odds of winning the championship, can win the game.
Subsequently, Argentina international Javier Mascherano, who was on loan to Liverpool during the winter break this season, also accepted an interview.
However, the interview he received was not that the reporter took the initiative to interview him, but that he took the microphone when the reporter was dumbfounded and spoke directly.
Said, "No. 9 of Valencia, I know you are very powerful, but I will beat you."
As a result, Mascherano became the headline the next day: You are very powerful, but I will beat you.
Aiello put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the person in the newspaper: Javier Alejandro Mascherano, the Argentina international who was loaned to Liverpool from West Ham United during the winter break this season.
From past memories, Aiello knew that Mascherano was indeed a difficult character, but Aiello suddenly laughed while reading the newspaper.
But this is our home court, and it’s not your turn to act wild.
Before the game, the mainstream media in Europe did not think highly of Liverpool because of Benitez and Mascherano's remarks.
They were generally optimistic about Valencia, which has neat personnel and is in good condition.
This is very likely to be their win.
A season of Champions League titles Not only do the media recognize their strength, but the three major European betting companies are also very optimistic about Valencia's championship.
They do not believe that Valencia, which has won at home, will suffer a defeat at home.
But in order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, Flores was still very cautious.
Although he was already happy at this time, he still said in an interview: "The odds issued by the three major European bookmakers do not represent us.
Steady entry into the finals, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago.
It should be noted that Manchester United and AC Milan who advanced to the semi-finals are both very powerful.
AC Milan has Kaka, Manchester United has Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.
They are both very powerful players.
From a certain perspective, they are better than Ai.
Not to mention our opponent Liverpool, a five-time Champions League champion. , they even reversed AC Milan and won the Champions League the year before last.
As long as the referee’s final whistle is not blown, the result of the game is still very unpredictable.”
Subsequently, European mainstream media reported on another semi-final match.
Because AC Milan's away game against Manchester United is played one day earlier than Valencia's home game against Liverpool in the semi-finals, this game should also be reported as a focus in terms of attracting readers.
Of course, in addition to the reason why this game is played first, it is the contrast between the key players in these two teams: Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and AC Milan's Kaká.
Because a large part of the reason why these two teams can enter the semi-finals of the Champions League this season is because of the performance of these two players in their respective teams.
Needless to say, Kaká, in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 18th final, he made a solo effort in overtime.
Whether AC Milan can advance to the quarterfinals is still unknown, and in the second leg of the 14th final, The same is true for the game.
If it weren't for the negligence of Bayern's defense caused by Kaka's breakthrough and distribution, AC Milan would have been eliminated.
Cristiano Ronaldo's role in Manchester United is even more true in Manchester United's team.
When they lost to Roma in the first round of the 14th final, if he hadn't taken the lead in blowing the offensive horn at home, it would have been difficult for Manchester United to win at home 7: 1 slaughtered Roma, thus creating the largest score difference in the knockout rounds since the Champions League was restructured.
When the editor-in-chief of The Times was thinking of a good theme for the two UEFA Champions League semi-finals, he happened to see an Oriental face, and his inspiration suddenly burst out like spring water.
AC Milan's Kaka is 25 years old, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is 22 years old, and Valencia's Aiello is 21 years old.
After all, aren't they all young players?
So editor-in-chief William Rees-Mogg gave these two Champions League semi-finals a good name: "Youth Storm" If nothing else happens, these three young players will dominate European football
