When the players from both sides came out of the tunnel, loud cheers erupted from the stands.
It is given not only to the players playing at home, but also to the players of the visiting team, because only when players from both sides work together can they give a wonderful game to the fans present.
At the same time, the on-site DJ Mario Cocker at the Mestalla Stadium began to announce the starting lineups of both sides of the game.
The first to be announced were the home team players, who were greeted by overwhelming cheers, without exception.
Then came the visiting team players.
Except for the loud cheers when Aiello's name was announced, the rest of the Chelsea players were treated with boos, boos that made people feel suffocated.
Ballack couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose with his right index finger, and then turned around and joked with Aiello: "They were both heroes of Valencia last season.
Why is there such a big gap?"
Aiello shrugged and said nothing, but his expression was quite proud.
"Viewers, please stretch your ears and listen.
This is the voice sent by the fans of the home team to the visiting team Chelsea.
It is really surprising.
A year after he left, the fans of the home team Valencia still have not forgotten him.
I have to say that at this moment, he showed his value.”
The game is about to begin, and commentator Huang Jianxiang begins to explain his speech.
With the referee's whistle, Aiello moved the football at his feet to Drogba next to him, who passed the ball to Ballack behind him.
What followed was overwhelming boos.
"CCTV CCTV, what we are broadcasting for you now is the first leg of the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League finals.
The defending champion Valencia plays Chelsea at home.
The one currently wearing blue jerseys and blue pants is the away team Chelsea.
They started from The left side of the camera is attacking to the right side.
The one wearing a white jersey and orange pants is the home team Valencia.
They are attacking from the right side of the camera to the left side.”
Commentator Huang Jianxiang began the unified opening remarks of CCTV 5’s live broadcast of the football match.
"It's Ai Luo who has the ball now."
Canizares looked at Ai Luo in the camera, and his breathing became rapid subconsciously, even though this was not the first time that he had become the commentator of the game.
After a few simple passes, the football quickly reached the feet of Aiello on the left, and he immediately attracted the attention of nearby Valencia players.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh At the same time, the fans in the stands let out a suffocating boo.
Although Aiello is Valencia's hero in the past, in the final analysis, Aiello is still Valencia's enemy and a stumbling block in Valencia's way to defend the Champions League.
The opponent must be eliminated, no matter how they pampered Ai Luo before the game.
Luo, but after the game starts, it will be the same.
So the fans of Valencia are booing them at their enemy Chelsea.
I don’t know if the sudden burst of boos from the Valencia fans in the stands affected Aiello who got the ball.
Under Miguel’s guard, the latter was kicked out by Baraja who came over from defense.
The sideline.
The boos that had not stopped yet became louder than before as Baraja stabbed the football away from Ai Luo's feet.
Seeing the football rolling out of the sideline, Aiello shook his head helplessly, still overestimating his position in the hearts of Valencia fans.
Being able to poke the ball away from Aiello's feet is quite an unforgivable thing, but Baraja was not happy about it.
Instead, he took two steps forward and patted Aiello's waist, meaning to ask him to pay attention.
Power, this is a game How could Ai Luo not know what Baraja meant, so he also patted Baraja's back affectionately to express his gratitude.
Not many people were surprised that Aiello made a mistake in his first touch of the ball.
Any player present who had not experienced many battles had a close guess about Aiello's mood, especially the head coach who was standing in the two command areas.
"Through the scene just now, we can keenly discover that Aiello still has nostalgia for this team, otherwise he would not have made a rare mistake because of the boos from the Mestalla Stadium."
Sky TV said commentator Andy Gray.
"Yes, but I believe he will return to normal soon, because as a world-class star, he still has the ability to adjust on the spot, otherwise it would not be worth 60 million pounds."

The guest commentator took the next step.
The next game seemed to confirm their point of view.
Aiello's self-regulation ability is very good.
After his first mistake, he appeared very calm and calm when handling the ball, with a master's style.
Therefore, Miguel on the right and the 33-year-old Baraja feel a lot of pressure.
Even if they use fouls to deal with Aiello, it is very difficult.
They all know that after training in the Premier League, Aiello's confrontational ability has risen to a higher level, his body has become stronger, and his ability to resist impact has also been enhanced.
Even if Valencia is playing at home, the fans in the stands are terrified.
They can be said to be the fans who know Ai Luo's power best.
In this venue, most fans grew up watching Ai Luo play. of.
The Valencian players who were attacking with all their strength always had an inner demon in their hearts.
They were afraid of investing too many offensive troops, which would lead to an empty space in the rear where Aiello's personal ability would find a gap and kill him with a fatal blow.
The game time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was twenty minutes into the first half.
Of course, the game could pass in peace for 20 minutes.
In addition to Valencia taking into account Chelsea's quick counterattack and not daring to invest too much force, it is also inseparable from Chelsea's strategy in this game.
Among Mourinho's key instructions before the game, except for particularly good opportunities, no more than four people can participate in the counterattack, which means that during the counterattack, they can only rely on three forwards and one central midfielder.
Among them, Lampard Which one goes up between him and Ballack, and the remaining one must always assist midfielder Essien to arrange the first line of defense in front of the defender.
However, in the first twenty minutes, both sides of the game still contributed two wonderful shots.
Mourinho looked at the situation on the field and realized that the team should change its strategy, because he found that halfway through the first half, the home team did not dare to attack at full strength, which meant that Chelsea had enough space to attack The formation is premised, thus burning the flame of attack into Valencia's half.
Thinking of this, Mourinho turned and called his assistant Villas-Boas to come forward, and then the two began to analyze the possibility of implementing tactical changes.
After all, the temptation to win the game away from home is also very great.
Two minutes later, Mourinho and Villas-Boas have already discussed a countermeasure, which is to increase their investment in offense.
The two wingers are also allowed to provide assists, but only one winger is allowed to assist at a time.
After all, Valencia's two sides are also very fast.
The speed of David Silva and Vicente with the ball should not be underestimated.
In addition to Ashley Cole on the left who can keep up with the speed of the two, Belletti on the right mostly chooses to use Defense comes with experience.
After all, he is getting older and his physical fitness is also declining.
After receiving Mourinho's signal to change tactics, the players were a little confused, but they still implemented it in an orderly manner.
Because the situation that the head coach sees off the field is definitely much wider than that of the players on the field, and coupled with Mourinho's coaching ability, no one dares to doubt that his strategy is wrong.
With Chelsea's formation conditions, coupled with the hardness and control ability of the midfielder, Chelsea's ball possession rate in the away game began to slowly recover.
In the 30th minute of the game, the director of the Mestalla Stadium cut the camera back to former Chelsea coach Mourinho in the visiting team's command area five minutes ago.
There were obvious movements on his hands.
This scene from the live broadcast immediately aroused speculation from commentators from various countries in the studio.
"If I'm not wrong, Chelsea have seen that Valencia, who are playing at home, are timid, so they consciously adjusted their formation and increased their intensity in attack.
This is why their ball possession rate has increased."
"Chelsea has a bit of a counter-attack attitude.
As the owner of the Mestalla Stadium, Valencia should not be so passive and should strengthen the attack on the two wings.
After all, David Silva and Vicente have both great personal breakthrough abilities.
Very strong, and their speed is also very good.”
"Valencia must bravely fight Chelsea in the midfield at this time, because they only have three people in the middle.
As long as they break through this layer of defense, they can directly face Terry and Carvalho, and then the attack will be Could be more direct”
Obviously, the various discussions in the live studio could not reach the ears of the Valencia players on the court, so the home team players on the court did not make any changes.
Two minutes later, in the 33rd minute of the game, Chelsea organized a wave of attacks by Lampard.
Since Valencia's strategy for defending Aiello in this game was to adopt a zone-marking defense, as long as Aiello runs a little more aggressively, he will always find the right opportunity to face the goal head-on, but when he gets the ball, he always There will be at least two defenders.
This time he became smarter in his movement.

While running forward, he also switched positions with Drogba.
He stood in the center position and allowed Drogba to leave the penalty area.
This change left central defenders Albiol and Marchena a little confused.
Because Drogba came out and Aiello rushed into the penalty area, the center back and the right back consciously moved closer to the center.
In their minds, Aiello was the most dangerous player.
Therefore, the space on the right is leaked.
Lampard took the ball and passed the ball to Drogba who was pulling out in order to buy more time for Ashley Cole who was inserted on the left.
Miguel and Baraja stuck up at the same time to prevent Drogba from taking the ball and turning to face the goal.
But Drogba's purpose was just a cover, just as a temporary passing point, using his strong body to lean against Baraja.
Ha, and then distributed the ball to Ashley Cole who came in behind.
Miguel, who wanted to double attack with Baraja, saw Drogba distribute the ball to the right wing he was guarding, and knew it was bad, so he quickly pulled it out again.
But this period of time is enough for Ashley Cole to look up calmly, observe, and then make a cross.
