No one other than Mourinho was prepared to guess that Aiello would start, so many commentators were surprised when the starting line-up was revealed half an hour before the game started.
In their understanding, Aiello should rest for at least a week after participating in the fierce Asian Cup, otherwise his physical condition will be extremely unsatisfactory, which will be very detrimental to Valencia's preparations for the league and the Champions League knockout rounds, because from It can be seen from past games that Valencia with Aiello is a top team, and Valencia without Aiello is at best a first-class team.
Head, the commentator of Valencia's No. 1 Sports Channel, frowned and talked about his doubts: "Is it really appropriate for Ai to start three days after returning to the team?"
His guest partner Barry shook his head and said: "It's hard to say.
As Valencia's number one star, he was the team captain when captain Albelda was unable to play due to injury, and he lost to Real Madrid 1:3 at home in the first leg.
That is to say, there is no room for error in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals as a guest at the Bernabeu.
It is difficult to predict the subsequent games.
When Valencia needs three away goals, it is not surprising that the most intimidating Ai starts."
Having said this, Barry paused, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and then said slowly: "Actually, this is the Ai we know.
He is always hungry in the face of honor, so he needs to be in Valencia When he scored, he must have actively asked to play.
I guess Ancelotti’s idea before the game was to let him play as a substitute, but Ai’s desire to play was strong, so.”
"Yes, this is the Ai we are familiar with.
I think Valencia in this game will very likely complete the impossible task and reverse Real Madrid away from home to get a seat in the Copa del Rey final."
The two have been commentating together for many years, so commentator Hyde immediately knew what Barry meant when he paused and said it quickly.
Countless Valencia fans sitting in front of the TV were excited.
They originally watched the game with expectations, but as commentator Hyde and guest Barry explained each other, they became interested in Valencia's advancement to the Copa del Rey final.
Hope, because Aiello represents a miracle Mourinho took the starting lineup handed over by his assistant Faria, lowered his head for a moment and glanced at the players' names before grinning, as if everything was expected.
Faria was a little surprised by this.
In his expectation, Mourinho shouldn't be surprised to see Aiello's starting lineup in Valencia.
You must know that he himself was stunned for a moment after getting the official starting list.
It is really irritating that people are more popular than others.
He can still learn a lot by staying with Mourinho as an assistant.
At least facing Valencia with Aiello, they can still win without being arrogant or discouraged by defeat.
In this game, Valencia must beat Real Madrid by more than two goals to qualify for the Copa del Rey final, so the lineup is an aggressive 433, with goalkeeper Moya and defenders Alba, Albiol and Godin.
With Azpilicueta, the three midfielders are Javi Martinez, Cazorla and Mata, and the three forwards are Aiello, Cavani and David Silva.
Real Madrid's starting lineup is not much different.
The official lineup they gave is a 4-2-3 formation.
The goalkeeper Casillas, the defenders Marcelo, Ranocchia, Carvalho and Arbeloa, and the double midfielder are Las Diarra and Xabi Alonso, the three forwards are Kaka, Ozil, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the lone forward is Benzema.
However, in fact, the positions of Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo belong to the forward category, echoing Benzema in the frontcourt, Ozil is in the middle and leads the way, and Xabi Alonso is the hub of offense and defense and the dispatcher of long passes.
Of course, his most important job is defense, forming an unbreakable wall with Las Diarra to clear obstacles for the central defender combination of Ranocchia and Carvalho.
After Real Madrid's lineup has been adjusted in the first half of the season, Mourinho's quick counterattack tactics have been almost perfectly integrated into Real Madrid's tactical system.
A total of 64 goals were scored in the 21 rounds of the league this season. , the quick counterattack plays the most important role.
The test of a team's strength is its quick counterattack offense and defense.
If both ends are doing very well, then this team is a strong team.
However, the running-in of the lineup has little to do with Kaka.
Kaka, who has just returned from injury, is not in the best condition.
If it were not for the face of capitalist Florentino, Mourinho would prefer to use Di Maria to play Kaka.
In this position, Kaka's current state is far different from the Kaka he remembered.
Fortunately, Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo continue to be in very good form and can always help the team in the process of switching from defense to offense.
Of course, Valencia's offense is more threatening, and it is difficult for any team to withstand the attack group headed by Aiello.
Cavani, who replaced David Villa who was absent due to injury, played well at the center position.
He can play the ball and shoot.
As long as he has more experience in the game, he will be a top shooter.
But he is smart enough to know that Valencia is all about serving Aiello.
Unless there is a chance to shoot directly, under normal circumstances he will mainly give the ball to Aiello, which can also increase his tacit understanding with Aiello.

I believe that as David Villa gets older, head coach Ancelotti will give Cavani more opportunities to play.
Nearly 90,000 fans poured into the Bernabeu Stadium for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, including 3,000 Valencia fans who traveled with the team.
At the beginning of the game, Valencia quickly organized a wave of offensive attacks.
Kaká and Ozil, who were assisting in defense, were just like wooden stakes and could not play a defensive role at all.
In other words, Real Madrid still had to rely on defense.
Las Diarra and Xavi Alonso and four defenders to complete.
The football quickly passed to the feet of the playmaker David Silva, but this time the defensive midfielder did not push forward, but stood on the defensive left rib.
Seeing this, David Silva had no choice but to pass the ball to Mata in the center and pass the ball to the left to defend.
Obviously, Real Madrid's right-side defense is an important area of protection.
However, the effective coverage area of Real Madrid's double midfielder combination is limited, so Aiello got the football in a very comfortable position.
Immediately afterwards, Aiello directly raised his thick right leg and hit the football.
A long shot from more than 30 meters away from the goal Aiello's shot was so sudden that midfielder Xavi Alonso didn't have time to block it.
Fortunately, goalkeeper Casillas was fully prepared the moment Aiello took the ball, so he was able to react immediately after Aiello completed the shot.
He tipped his left foot, stretched his body, and pounced to the left.
With a slight touch of his fingertips, he pushed the football away from its original trajectory.
The football flew out of the baseline while grazing the outer edge of the left post of the goal.
"oh" Immediately, a huge exclamation burst out from the stands.
Originally, the commentator of Real Madrid TV was still introducing Real Madrid's starting lineup with great interest, but he was suddenly frightened by Ai Luo's sudden long shot.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and then said: "St.
Igor is in really good condition. good" At the same time, the fans in the stands also applauded Casillas for his outstanding performance.
But for his miraculous save, Valencia would have scored less than a minute into the game The Valencia players before the substitutes all held their heads and expressed regret.
If they had scored a goal in the first minute of the game, the game would have been much easier.
The commentator Hyde was stunned for a moment, and then lamented: "Real Madrid is so lucky.
If it hadn't been for a super goalkeeper like Casillas, Ai's long shot would have already scored.
What a pity."
No one noticed that Kaka's face was a little gloomy.
Once upon a time, what he was best at was taking long shots from a comfortable position, just like Ai Luo just now.
With the threat of a shot at the beginning, Real Madrid's defense obviously focused on Aiello.
However, it is difficult to completely restrict a player of Ai Luo's level, especially since Real Madrid uses a 4, 2, 3 formation that is relatively strong in offense and weak in defense.
The combination of double midfielders can only protect the space but cannot take the initiative.
Defend, otherwise there will be a situation of being out of position.
Mourinho, as Ai Luo's former head coach at Chelsea, knows Mourinho's coaching characteristics very well.
What Mourinho hates seeing most is midfielders leaving their defensive positions without permission.
Of course, the exception is the three midfielders.
Therefore, Aiello has many ways to create opportunities when facing Las Diarra and Xavi Alonso who cannot leave without permission.
Two minutes later, Aiello changed positions with David Silva this time and came to attack the right rib.
With Azpilicueta on the wing, full-back Marcelo does not dare to attack easily, otherwise the unmarked Azpilicueta will easily get the chance to take the ball and pass it easily.
Facing Ozil's wooden stakes defense, Aiello dodged past with an accelerated pass.
Seeing that Aiello was getting closer and closer, Las Diarra had no choice but to wait sternly.
As a result, the inside of Aiello's right foot suddenly dunked the ball to the left, shook the angle, and directly raised his left foot.
Hyde was stunned, then exclaimed: "Shoot" "oh" The Real Madrid fans in the stands also exclaimed as Aiello started to kick.
Rasdillaya saw Aiello swinging his legs so widely that he fell to the ground without hesitation and stretched out his legs to block it.
As a result, Aiello made an exaggerated swing and dunked the ball to the right with his left foot, switching to a familiar ball.
Take off your right foot again.
It was too late for center back Carvalho to block the ball.

He only heard a muffled sound and the football flew from above his forehead towards the goal.
Casillas had already moved to the near corner of the goal following Aiello's fake shot, but Aiello's long shot was from the far corner.
I saw him tiptoe hard with his right foot and fly sideways
