At the post-match press conference, the first person to be interviewed in accordance with international practice was Benitez, the head coach of the visiting team.
Accompanying him to the scene was team captain Gerrard.
It was not easy to get an away goal against Valencia, and they only lost one goal in the total score.
Benitez was in a very good mood, and he could be said to be silent when faced with reporters' points.
Too much to say.
For the first time, reporters from England felt that this middle-aged Spanish man was so easy to deal with.
Of course, there are no answers to questions about the team's tactical arrangements for the second round.
When it was the home team's turn to be interviewed, the reporters' attention was focused on Albelda, who retired from injury at the last moment.
They were all eager to know the final injury report.
Of course, the one they wanted to know most was Albelda.
Able to catch up with the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals a week later.
After all, his role for Valencia is very great.
He is the team's offensive and defensive hub, regardless of offense or defense, and he has made a great contribution to the team, especially when the team switches from defense to offense, he seems to be handling the ball.
Just like it has been precisely calculated by a computer.
If Albelda misses the second round, one can imagine the level of disruption it will cause to Valencia.
Flores did not give a positive answer to the reporter's question.
The reporters present were also veterans and did not dwell on this issue.
They quickly focused their questions on the players in this game.
Aiello, as Valencia's star player, is naturally mentioned the most.
However, Flores was not in a good mood today and answered reporters' questions in a perfunctory manner.
The next day, the entire mainstream media in Europe gave a good title to the game between Valencia and Liverpool at home: a good game was lost, and the suspense was left in the second round.
There was also a heated debate in the media about which team could reach the finals.
Media in Spain are generally optimistic that Valencia will advance, while media in the British Isles are optimistic about Liverpool, which has an away goal.
Because they believe that Liverpool's head coach is Benitez, a famous cup master.
His classic work is the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2004-2005 season.
He drew with Chelsea 0:0 away from home and eliminated Chelsea at home with a ghost goal.
The next second leg of the Champions League semi-finals is similar to the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Only a small victory by one goal is needed to qualify for this season's Champions League finals.
On this day, The Times had a very detailed report on the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Valencia and Liverpool: "The original result of this game was that Valencia defeated the visiting Liverpool 2:0 at home.
But what I didn't expect was that Liverpool's soul captain Gerrard pulled one back for the team before the end, and this goal also brought Liverpool from the edge of the cliff.
After pulling back, this result is very beneficial to them, because they only need to win 1:0 in the second round at home to advance to the final.
It is worth mentioning that when Gerrard scored, Barcelona Rencia's captain Albelda is injured.
Judging from his walking behavior when he came off the field, it will be difficult for him to catch up with the game in the middle of next week."
"Finally, I have to mention Valencia's star Ai.
He has not scored a goal in two consecutive games in the Champions League.
Specifically, he has not scored a goal for 227 minutes.
His last goal The ball goes back to Valencia's away game against Chelsea The first leg of Spain's Champions League 14 finals.
For a super shooter who averaged 177 goals per game in the Champions League, this is a reality that is difficult to accept.
If you look at the problem from this perspective, Valencia's The strongest attack point has fallen into some kind of crisis."
When The Times was published, it was welcomed by readers.
At the same time, it also attracted reprints from colleagues.
It is very rare for Aiello to fall into a goal drought, and he has not scored in two consecutive games.
This is very surprising to many fans who are used to Aiello averaging more than one goal per game.
It has to be said that after most fans have become accustomed to Aiello's high statistics, any slight downward trend in his statistics will attract countless criticisms.
"I believe that the next second leg of the Champions League semi-finals will be very dangerous for Valencia, because their star player Ai has not scored a goal in the Champions League for nearly 230 minutes.

This is for a player It is a rare phenomenon for the UEFA Champions League's current single-season scoring record keeper, but this will be a very good opportunity for Liverpool, because they only need to win one in the next second round.
The most economical and affordable 1:0 can advance to the finals."
The Guardian also reported on this.
But at this time, when Cristiano Ronaldo was interviewed by BBC, he mentioned the issue of Aiello's failure to score in two consecutive games, "If damn Liverpool really thinks that they can easily win Valencia at home, then I will I can only say goodbye to them, because it will definitely be Valencia who advances to the final, why is it because Aiello is the most unpredictable player in the world?"
Cristiano Ronaldo's words immediately attracted a lot of criticism, but he didn't care.
Manchester United and Liverpool were already at odds.
There was no need to look at the problem from Liverpool's perspective just for the sake of the so-called honor of the English team.
Later, when talking about Manchester United's prospects for the second leg at San Siro, Cristiano Ronaldo said: "No one can predict the outcome of the game, and I am the same.
Everything can only be revealed after the game is over."
In the afternoon of the same day, the results of Albelda's examination came out.
The result was a strained thigh muscle, which was neither serious nor serious.
But one thing that is certain is that Valencia captain Albelda will definitely miss the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Although the senior management of Valencia Club issued a hush-hush order to the team, hoping to cover up the news that Albelda would miss the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, they underestimated the power of the media.
Just that evening, the England Mirror published a piece of news on their official website: "According to reliable sources, Valencia captain David Alberda's diagnosis report was released this afternoon.
He will definitely suffer from a thigh muscle problem."
Missed the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at Anfield due to strain."
In today's world of information circulation, news that Alberda will definitely miss the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals is flooding the official websites of European mainstream media.
Marca gave its first comment: "Although David Albelda will definitely miss the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, for this very mature Valencia team, there is no It’s a big problem.
They have a solid defense and a fixed goal spot.
These are the basic conditions for them to enter the finals, so Albelda’s absence will not affect the final result.”
Even Mundo Deportivo, which has never been eye-to-eye with Valencia, spoke for Valencia at this time: "You never know how terrifying Valencia is.
Many people think that Valencia's striker can score.
When so many goals are based on a strong midfielder, their star Ai's ability to create opportunities and seize opportunities is ignored.
Although he has not scored in two games in the Champions League, who I can guarantee that he will never score a goal.”
From this perspective, it is not difficult to see the strength of Valencia.
The absence of one player will not affect the final result.
But is this really the case?
The final result can only be announced at Anfield Stadium at 8:45 pm next Tuesday.
Before challenging Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals away from home, Valencia still had a league game.
Fortunately, the opponent in this game was not strong and belonged to Huelva, a team that has been lingering in the relegation zone for a long time.
In the past 31 league rounds, Valencia has led Real Madrid and Barcelona by 15 points in second and third place, which means that their risk of losing the league championship is basically zero.
In addition to the Champions League semi-finals attracting everyone's attention next week, fans in Spain are focusing on these three games: Valencia vs.
Huelva, Athletic Bilbao vs.
Real Madrid, and Barcelona vs.
Levante.
With only seven rounds left in the league, Valencia only needs to win the home game against Huelva, and the league championship trophy can basically be handed over to Valencia.
But if Valencia wins Huelva at home and Real Madrid and Barcelona lose collectively, then Valencia will win the league championship six rounds in advance.
So the Valencia fans got excited again and immediately put aside the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
After all, there was still nearly a week left in the Champions League, so naturally they had to focus on the league first.
This was for Avoid long nights and many dreams.
If you can win the championship early, you should win it early and be practical.
But in the home league, Valencia only sent out a full substitute lineup, but still won Huelva with a score of 2:0.
With one game in hand, Valencia was already 18 points ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona, which means If Real Madrid and Barcelona lose in the next league, then Valencia can win the league championship six rounds in advance It is a pity that the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona on the next day both won this league round, so Valencia will have to wait until the next round if they want to win the league championship in advance.
Although they did not win the league championship six rounds in advance, Valencia's players were not disappointed because in their minds, the league was already a target and they could not escape no matter how hard they ran.
All the team's attention then shifts to next Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg at Anfield.
