Chapter 436: Valencia and Benitez

Villa, who won the best player in the Premier League, naturally did not escape the slaughter of his teammates, and everyone wanted Villa to have fun compared to a big meal, but the League Cup final was just around the corner, so it could only be delayed until the end of the season.

Villa is very happy, this is equivalent to escaping, because after the League Cup final, there must be a lot of celebration, and then the players will go to their respective national teams to report, and this summer's European Championship in Portugal will kick off soon after the end of the season, who cares to have fun!

After a few days of rest, Notts County are fully in the state of preparation, although the league title is in hand, they will not give up the glory of defending the League Cup, and it can be said that the success or failure of the season will be in this final game.

Valencia's strength is undoubted, reaching the Champions League final twice in a row, lifting the La Liga trophy twice in a row, are all players who have entered the peak of their careers, even if Mendieta, the former best midfielder in Europe, has moved away, but the arrival of Aimar still makes this Valencia team move forward on the road to the top.

In fact, David felt very sorry for this Valencia team after the turn of the world, if Valencia was in an environment like England, then Valencia, who had created such a strong record, would be able to maintain the team's high investment and continue to be brilliant just by virtue of huge broadcast fees and matchday income.

But in La Liga, the bulk of the broadcast cost is monopolized by oligarchs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the ticket income cannot be compared with the Premier League.

Take a look at Valencia's current squad, although there are no top superstars, but who is not a famous player!

Goalkeeper Canizares, once Spain's number one country, if it weren't for the 02 World Cup before the withdrawal due to injury and Casillas was in danger, I'm afraid San Cassie would not have been able to get the starting position of the national team so quickly!

Ayala, Marchena and Manuel Pellegrino have all played in two Champions League finals at the back, and they are top of their game in terms of quality and experience.

The midfield, like Notts County, is also Valencia's proudest place.

Baraja and Albelda, the midfield combination of Spain, firmly controls the main position, both Xavi and Alonso, can only stand aside, although there is a seniority factor, but there is no denying the ability of the two giants, and some even compare the two with Manchester United's Keane.

On the avant-garde line, there are Spanish-style top wingers Vicente, Angulo and the clown Aimar, Aimar is known as Maradona's successor, and Messi has always been his idol in his previous life.

The starting line is usually occupied by Mista, and although the Spanish striker has not had a particularly high goal percentage in his previous career, he has suddenly exploded this season, scoring 19 goals in La Liga, ranking at the top of the La Liga scorers' charts.

With such an arrogant lineup, coupled with the tutelage of tactician Rafael Benitez, it is not too surprising to suppress Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league with their strong overall strength.

Apart from Arsenal, Valencia are arguably the strongest opponents Notts County have faced this season, stronger than Manchester United and Chelsea.

The team is preparing for the game at full strength, but David often seems distracted, others don't know what he is thinking, maybe it is the anxiety before the final, only he knows, he is thinking about how much his appearance will change the direction of European football.

Not to mention anything else, the current opponent Valencia's coach Benitez, his future is not something David can predict.

After winning the UEFA Cup in Valencia in the previous game, Benitez retired with great honour and left Valencia to coach Liverpool in the Premier League, leading the Reds to the Champions League podium in his first season, especially the final Istanbul night, which is a classic in the entire history of football......

But the current situation is that Valencia's opponent in the UEFA Cup final has changed, from the mediocre Marseille to the strong Notts County, can Valencia still lift the UEFA Cup trophy as David did in his previous life?

I'm afraid the odds are going to drop a lot, even if the two teams have a five-to-five win rate, but the fans are still more optimistic about Notts County.

If Valencia can't win the UEFA Cup, will Benitez leave Valencia?

Although the UEFA Cup title is more valuable than the two consecutive La Liga titles, and Rafael Benitez may have sensed signs that the team is about to step down, David still can't predict Benitez's actions.

Well, even if Benitez is still leaving, will he go to Liverpool?

It is true that Liverpool is a traditional giant in England and has a huge influence throughout Europe, not comparable to Valencia, but Liverpool does not have the Champions League this season!

Even if Valencia does not have a high status in La Liga, how can the champion be able to play in the Champions League, it seems that you are used to eating the full banquet of the Manchurians, and then let you eat knife noodles, are you used to eating?

Okay, and assuming that Benitez is in charge of Liverpool's status regardless of whether he has the Champions League or not, and there is no problem playing in the league and the League Cup, then the fact that Benitez led Liverpool to win the Champions League in the previous life will really not happen again, at least not next season......

David doesn't think there's anything to be sorry for Liverpool and Benitez not being able to play in the Champions League, and it's a pity that the miracle of the night in Istanbul won't happen, that's all.

This season's UEFA Cup final was played in Sweden, and after a week of intense training in England, Notts County arrived in Sweden four days ahead of schedule for the final game.

On the same day, Valencia also rushed to Sweden with the whole team, and the League Cup final was about to start.

Although the impact of the UEFA Cup cannot be compared to that of the Champions League, this season's Champions League is really unbearable, there is not a traditional giant in the top four, and after the semi-finals, two teams participating in the final have also been released - Porto and Monaco, as David remembers in his previous life.

What a non-golden-tasting Champions League final!

Compared to the Champions League final, the UEFA Cup final can be more attractive, after all, Notts County and Valencia are the champions of their respective leagues! (To be continued.) )
