"As the current coach of Liverpool Benitez, who has led Valencia on the right track in the new century, this UEFA Super Cup is full of unusual significance, it is a battle of the kings of Europe, and it is also a direct dialogue between the former and the present. Then let's focus on the European best of the best of the best of the best of the European games in three days......"

The text of "French football" says.

"According to the tracking report of our reporter, Valencia's hopeful Ai did not participate in the team's training, but followed their team doctor Hernandez to do recovery training, and the team doctor's brows are still frowning from time to time, so I suspect that what Flores said after the second leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifying match is just a posturing, if nothing else, Valencia's winger Ai should not appear in the UEFA Super Cup......"

"And these are all justified, after all, I broke the news from the local newspaper in Valencia before, and the civil unrest in Valencia was caused by Kluivert's flying shovel during training, so... We have every reason to believe that he must have suffered an injury to Yan Zòng......"

From the European football section of the newspaper "Teams".

Rafael Benitez's eyes finally lingered on the European football page of the Squad Newspaper in his hand, his brow furrowed, as if wondering whether the newspaper was telling whether what was being reported in the newspaper was correct, and if it was as the Squad newspaper claimed, it would have boosted Liverpool's hopes of being crowned the best of the best of Europe's champions, but if that was not the case, then ......

Thinking about it, he was very difficult to do.

If the information is reliable, Benitez can remove a player who specializes in defending Iroh Finnan and replace it with a more attacking Pongele, but if the information is not reliable, they can only play steadily.

However, it is clear that the previous choice is better, because Liverpool have just played a Champions League third round qualifier from Switzerland, and their fitness is certainly not as good as Valencia, who are waiting for leisure.

So the attack is even more exciting for Benitez, plus counting this UEFA Super Cup, this is Liverpool's fourth game in these ten days, and the physical condition does not allow the team to play extra time, otherwise it will definitely become Valencia's plate meal!

In the end, after thinking about it for a long time, Benitez decided to be skeptical, after all, Iroh was indeed substituted for physical reasons, and he did not train with the team in the past two days, which can be seen from here...... Eighty percent of the other party was really injured.

So, Benitez sent his assistant to the nearby training ground to investigate the enemy's situation.

******

Valencia's players didn't seem to be in high spirits on the training ground, as if it was true, as rumored that winger Eloh missed the UEFA Super Cup game due to injury.

Flores on the field is nervously arranging the tactics on the field, and the players are also under the tense atmosphere, rigorously completing the tactics arranged by the head coach.

After the day's training, because Iello did not appear on the training ground from beginning to end, which caused a reverie among the reporters waiting outside the training ground, Flores was surrounded by a swarm of reporters after the training.

If you look carefully, there are not a few Chinese journalists.

"Why didn't Iroh show up on the training ground? It can't really be hurt, right? ”

The reporter with the "Big Football" press card asked anxiously.

Flores heard the sound and saw a yellow-skinned and black-haired person, and his facial features were very good, so his attitude improved, and he pretended to smile: "Ai is really fine, it's just that his physical condition is not good, and it's not a big deal." ”

Rumble!

Suddenly, the media from China were at a loss, this ...... Not feeling well? So they thought of Iroh being substituted again, could it really be injured?

The other reporters in the room were not stupid, and then thought of the possibility of Ailo's injury, so they asked before the Chinese reporters.

"May I ask if you are hurt?"

Instead of satisfying the curiosity of these journalists, Flores' face sank, "No comment!" ”

This...... Looks like I'm really hurt!

The reporters were still a bit of a stranger, so they looked for another way, and they soon interviewed Valencia's new signing, David Villa.

"I don't think Ai has any problems, he will definitely be able to catch up with the game the day after tomorrow, well! He must be able to!! ”

David Villa's expression changed from sadness to joy, and then to regret, and the whole person played like the reincarnation of an actor.

These reporters went from believing 80 percent to 100 percent now.

At the same time, Ajestron, an assistant sent by Benitez to scout the enemy, also confirmed that Valencia's main winger Elo will miss the UEFA Super Cup in two days due to injury.

Because Benítez also learned on the Internet that the sensational civil unrest in Valencia ten days ago was also caused by the mention of Kluivert's flying shovel of Iello behind his back.

Therefore, Benitez's training in the last two days is mainly based on attack-based play, striving to decide the winner within 90 minutes.

******

It wasn't until before the game that the mainstream media in Europe focused on Benitez and Flores, the two coaches in the past and present lives, and they were overwhelmed with all kinds of questions, but fortunately, both of them answered tacitly and avoided the important and trivial.

So the topic went from the relationship between the two and Valencia to the UEFA Super Cup in the evening.

……

……

It seems that all of them were as Benitez expected, and even the pre-match warm-up Airo did not enter the Louis II stadium, so he was even more sure that Ailo was indeed out of the game due to injury.

But, at the same time.

Valencia locker room

Iroh is actively doing a variety of warm-up movements, such as: femoral exercises, tendon flexibility exercises, knee press exercises and other warm-up movements.

In order to get more physical activity, he also ran around the locker room for about ten minutes.

……

……

"Haha, I've really wronged you these days!"

Flores entered the locker room with his assistant Paul and smiled at Iro.

Iroh grinned and waved his hand, signaling that there was nothing.

Subsequently, more and more teammates entered the locker room.

"I'm sure Rafael will be surprised when he receives the official starting line-up for UEFA...... Haha"

Flores laughed at the thought of this.

******

In fact, as Flores expected, when Benitez took over the Valencia main lineup that Ayestron obtained, his face changed suddenly, because Elo's name was on the Valencia starting list!

Only then did he realize that he had been fooled!

UEFA stipulates that the starting lineup handed in cannot be changed, unless there are special circumstances, such as a sudden injury to the starting list, can be replaced, but UEFA in order to prevent individual clubs from taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules, so the replaced starting list can not be included in the substitute list for the next game, which means that the replaced personnel will not be able to participate in this game.

In order to lose players unnecessarily, Benitez can only play as arranged before the game, but ...... In terms of the team's implementation of tactics, he specifically asked Xavi Alonso and Hamann to be more responsible for the side defense, because Elo's assault ability and in-cutting ability are too strong to be guarded!

At the same time, the national commentators in the studio of the Stade Louis II were also stunned when they received the official UEFA offer of the starting line-ups of both sides.

“oh-my-god！ It turned out that the news before the game was a smoke bomb released by Flores!! ”

That's when the studio narrator began to realize.

"Audience friends, now I have good news for the fans here, judging from the starting lineup I have got, Iro, who was absent from team training due to injury two days ago, is fine, because his name is on the list of starters in my hand!"

Huang Jianxiang, who was in charge of the Champions League commentary, said excitedly.

"I have to say that Valencia's new head coach Flores is not simple, taking advantage of everyone's previous attention to the team's internal turmoil, and then using the false head replaced by Ai in the middle of the second leg of the third round of the Champions League qualification, once made everyone think that Valencia's top scorer last season Ai will miss this European king of kings game, but ...... This starting list, Ai's name is on the list, and we were all deceived......"

Sky TV's ace commentator Andy Gray explained, but there was a hint of anger in his tone.

******

Less than three minutes into the game, Iello was brought to the ground by Harman and Xavi Alonso in quick succession, and the referee only blew for a normal foul and did not even receive a warning.

This left Iroh speechless.

Although Flores stood on the sidelines and protested loudly, it had no real effect, and he received a warning from the fourth official before calming down.

Liverpool deserve to be champions of last season's Champions League, and although this team is in its second year in charge, Benitez's ability to control is unquestionable, and the team's big stars have obeyed his arrangement.

From this point of view, Benitez has completely exploded a few streets of Flores!

Iello saw Liverpool's mentality of defending him from the first few minutes, and strengthened the connection with Aimar and Albelda in midfield, and did not blindly break through on his own.

After strengthening the cooperation with their team-mates in the middle, Xavi Alonso and Hamann looked a little overwhelmed, because when they stepped forward, Iello had already passed the ball, and if they insisted on foul calls, then the referee would certainly not be vegetarian, but UEFA has strengthened the penalty for fouls committed by defenders without players this season.

So in the eighth minute, Iroh suddenly started when he was forty yards from the goal, Xavi Alonso took the initiative to come forward to defend, but unexpectedly Ilo only dribbled forward, and when he rushed over, Iroh passed the ball to Aymar, and then ran past Xavi Alonso and continued to run forward.

Aimar did not stop the ball but pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and sent the ball to the path of Iello forward, and at the same time, Ferrer and Aimar, who had passed the ball, suddenly activated, and the entire Liverpool back line suddenly tensed.

Hamann immediately rushed to receive the ball to Elo, who quickly sent his body forward and stuck in Harman's forward path, but what he didn't expect was that Hamann was not trying to grab the ball, but to foul.
