Iroh, who had two shots and one pass in the whole game, was naturally rated as the best on the spot after the game!

He deserves this reputation.

That evening, the team returned to Valencia on the latest flight. Although it was already past 12 o'clock in the morning when I returned to Valencia, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans in the slightest, and they were still enthusiastic!

With two goals and one assist in this campaign, Elo, who directly helped the team win away from home, naturally became the object of fans' enthusiasm, and even a few hot and sexy Spanish girls loudly showed their love to him. Of course, Vicente, another goal-scorer, was not left out in the cold, after all, he is also a handsome guy! His speed also makes the fans talk about it!! The thirty-six-year-old goalkeeper Canisares is the favorite of middle-aged and elderly women, and the flying kisses almost made Canisares fall to the ground with 'excitement' on the spot.

Although the Devils' schedule continued, Ranieri still gave his players a day off to prepare for the weekend at Camp Nou to take on league leaders Barcelona.

Also, Valencia had no sleep that night.

The next day, the match was discussed throughout European football.

The UEFA Champions League match had been reported the day before yesterday, so this issue of "Milan Sport" focused on the UEFA Cup, and the headline of the newspaper was a photo of Ielo clenching his fist in celebration, with fans of the fanatical home team Parma in the background, and the bottom edge of the picture was the gist of the report, "It was a magical game, Parma, one of the seven sisters, failed to win at home against La Liga powerhouse Valencia, they not only allowed the opponent to get three away goals, but also allowed the opponent to get three points, It's almost a guarantee that Valencia is in the last four"

The text at the back is, "The amazing Chinese boy, two goals and a selfless assist, helped the team win against Parma away from home, his feet are hot, he has goals and assists in almost every game, which team can make him stop the pace of scoring??" Barcelona in the next round of La Liga?? ”

The other three fixtures resulted in Newcastle United being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Sporting Lisbon, and interestingly, there was a substitution for Newcastle United in this game, with Bowyer, who had only been in league fights last weekend, coming on in place of Dier. Villarreal lost 2-1 at home to Dutch side AZ Alkmaar, with Riquelme missing a crucial penalty. The last quarter-final was CSKA Moscow's 4-0 home win over Auxerre.

Valencia Sport reported on Valencia's two-goal away win over Parma, as well as three away goals, and they have already reached the semi-finals with half a foot.

The report of "Marca" is relatively mediocre, the left page is Valencia who won 1:3 away, and the right page is Villarreal who lost 1:2 to Alkmaar at home, and in the middle is a gap separated by technical means, and the text focuses on praising Valencia's table, hinting that Villarreal is coming to an end, "Valencia began their devil's journey, and it is gratifying that they fired the first shot of victory, away to Parma, Wonder Boy Ai was once again on the pitch, with two goals and an unselfish assist, which was his answer to the game. The other La Liga team that entered the League Cup, Villarreal, was not outstanding, but a bit clumsy, and Riquelme, the core of the midfield, was out of shape throughout the game, did not pass a threatening kick, and wasted Diego before the game. A penalty from Frantron zào led directly to the team's home defeat to AZ Alkmaar"

Barcelona's mouthpiece "Le Monde Sport" was quite stingy, not only did not congratulate Valencia on the away win over Parma, but instead mocked Valencia in disguise, "Poor 'Bat Army', it is really sad to rely on players from a football weak country to win this game, I hope they will not be directly scared by our strong squad and avid fans at Camp Nou this weekend" The article even attached a sentence from the Frenchman Giuli, who has recently been recuperating from injury, " Just because they want to win at Camp Nou? This is the holy Camp Nou! Not a weak and incompetent Bernabeu"

Another page was an interview with Brazilian Belletti to Le Monde Sport, "Wonder Boy? Hehe, that's just that he hasn't met a real strong team yet! I'll show him what it means to be awesome on the weekend!! ”

For the Frenchman Gyuli's remarks, it directly led to a rebound from the entire Real Madrid players, and even the media felt that his speech was quite inappropriate, and it didn't take long for Gyuli to apologize for his inappropriate remarks at that time. Of course, that's an afterthought.

"Hey, why isn't Leo in the mood??" After the start of training, Messi was obviously not in shape and a little uneasy, so after the training, Iniesta walked over and asked with concern.

Messi remembered the media reports that Iro, who had played against him in the youth league at the end of last year, was so proud now, thinking that he would start again in this round of the league, and he was still struggling to fight for a substitute position, so he immediately clenched his fists and made a crisp sound. Because Messi, like Iro, was promoted to the first team in the second half of the league season, but the appearance and treatment of the two are very different, Iroh has not been able to stop scoring since he came out, and Messi has scored goals, but he is not trusted by coach Rijkaard, he would rather give more opportunities to those superstars who have become famous.

Messi lay on the turf, looked at Ronaldinho who was juggling the ball, naturally opened his mouth, and said, "No, it's this weekend's league, I don't know if I have a chance to be in the squad for the game"

"That's it? Impossible, right? Leo "Iniesta" obviously didn't believe what this young brother from La Masia, who was three years younger than him.

Messi laughed dryly, touched the back of his head, and then sat up straight and told Iniesta about the whole thing. Since Messi was promoted to the first team, Iniesta, who is also from La Masia, has become the only person he confides in, so basically he will tell Iniesta whatever he has in his heart.

After listening to Messi's story, Iniesta pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Actually, you don't have to be depressed, you are still young, our Barcelona is a giant team, isn't there a saying that once you enter a giant, it is like the sea?" It's impossible for the team to give up on those players who have been transferred at a high price," and then looked at the new players, "You look like I played as a substitute for two seasons in the first team, and I almost had to sit on the bench in exchange for the current chief substitute, you are younger than me, and your potential is greater, believe in yourself!" After saying that, Iniesta patted his junior brother Messi on the shoulder.

Soon, Messi's eyes rekindled with passion and confidence, and he nodded vigorously, "Hmm! I know!! ”

Before the end of training, head coach Rijkaard announced the eighteen-man squad for the weekend league. Messi's name is prominently listed.

"Leo. Messi! ”

“oh！ yes！！！ When he heard Rijkaard announce his name, Messi immediately jumped with excitement.

This made the other seniors in the team speechless for a while, isn't it just to enter the eighteen-man competition squad? As for being so excited??

Fuss!!!

If Messi knew what they were thinking, then he would definitely say, you are full men who don't know how hungry you are!

On the afternoon of March 6th, Valencia had only a brief group practice session and it didn't take long for them to arrive in Barcelona by bus.

When the team bus arrived at the hotel in Barcelona, the team bus had not stopped, but it was surrounded by evil reporters, long guns and short guns blocked at the door of the bus, and the driver could not move the vehicle, and the bus door could not be opened if he wanted to. But fortunately, the driver was witty and pressed the horn of the bus a few times, and the reporters realized that their parents were already waiting at the door of the bus, so they stood away one after another and gave up their places.

"Hey, may I ask what Valencia's goal is to challenge Barcelona this time??" The first person to come out was naturally the team's head coach, Claudio Ranieri, and a sharp-eyed reporter was the first to ask questions.

"Hey, are you confident of winning away to Barcelona?" When the first reporter came forward to ask a question, a second reporter naturally came to ask, but the question he asked should be a local reporter in Valencia.

"Eh, the wonder boy from China, will you still score in this game??"

"Damn!! Who stepped on my foot? ”

The reporters blocked the door of the hotel to ask for an interview, and naturally the team's press officer, Mercedes. Yuri refused, he said in a very gentlemanly manner, "If you want an interview, please wait until the regular press conference before the game, now the team is going to stay in the hotel, please let everyone go" After speaking, the reporters still did not mean to get out of the way, so he used a killer feature, "As long as it is a reporter standing in front of us, no matter what the reason, we will refuse the interview of the newspaper!" ”

Mercedes. What Yuri said, naturally, some reporters objected, but there was no ambiguity at his feet, and he quickly got out of the way, otherwise he was really afraid that his parents would not give them an interview.

After the reporters moved out of the way, the Valencia players were escorted by the security staff of the hotel where they were staying, and finally entered the hotel safely.

"As Valencia's manager, do you have anything you would like to say about Ai's inappropriate remarks about Barcelona a month and a half ago?"

At the press conference, Esteban, a reporter from Le Monde Sport, pulled out the interview with Eelo after the match against Real Madrid a month and a half ago, but unfortunately Eelo was not present this time, so he pointed the finger at manager Ranieri.

Without bringing Iroh to the pre-match press conference, Ranieri naturally had his own ideas, and he didn't want the young Ai to be the target of public criticism, so he didn't bring Aillo.

The questions asked by World Sports are often controversial, and Ranieri did not directly answer his questions, "Ai is a very good young man, and the traditional virtues of the Chinese are vividly reflected in him, he respects the old and loves the young, is humble and courteous, and is honest and generous."

Ranieri didn't say anything about Esteban's rehash of the old story that made the media shine, and he still answered with no saltiness, no pain, and even a little maddening.

After hearing Ranieri's answer, Estevan, who had just finished asking the question, was immediately messy, and I didn't ask that!!

At this moment, Alfred, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper "As", who has always been pro-Real Madrid, stood up, "I believe that Ai is such a young man!" More confident that he will live up to his promise and score at Camp Nou!! So Mr. Ranieri, do you believe your players can do it? ”

Alfred's words immediately made Esteban, a reporter from "World Sports", look at him coldly, but Alfred didn't care, and instead raised his head.

Ranieri naturally knew that As, and because he had the same dislike for Munde Sport, he chose to cooperate with As, "Of course I believe in my players, and I also believe that my team will take three points away from home. ”

Ranieri's ambitions at the Camp Nou were skillfully documented by the reporters in the audience.
