Chapter 235: Streak and Upset

******

With the third round of La Liga just around the corner, everyone's attention is also focused on these games, and Iroh is still doing boring physical training under the leadership of physical trainer Gonzalez.

It is worth mentioning that after more than half a month of physical training outside the system, the number of the body lì has also been improved, from 76 to 78, although it is only an increase of two points, but it makes him no longer rely on the body lì potion provided by the system in the game.

As long as you distribute the body reasonably in the game, it is not difficult to support the whole game.

This is undoubtedly great news for manager Flores, as as long as Iroh can play the whole game, he will continue to intimidate the opponent's entire backline!

But for him, the good news is not only this, the even better news is that the previously injured Vicente has been able to train individually under the nod of the team doctor Hernandes, which is undoubtedly a great news for Valencia, who will play in the 05-06 UEFA Champions League group stage at home against Inter Milan ten days later!

******

At 4 p.m. on September 17, the third round of La Liga will play two matches, starting with Valencia hosting Deportivo La Coruna and Marocco hosting Real Sociedad.

After the opening kick-off, Valencia took advantage of the home advantage to keep Deportivo La Coruna in their own half, but it was the visitors who took the lead.

They took the lead in the 23rd minute when Ayala made a mistake and Trista won the ball from 14 yards on the left side of the box and fired a left-footed shot into the far corner, but Canizares was unable to react.

Thankfully, two minutes later, Iroh took advantage of a free-kick to tie the scores.

"Beautiful! It was the 19-year-old who helped the team tie the score when the team's backline made fatal mistakes, and if Ai can continue this form, then Valencia will definitely challenge the authority of Real Madrid and Barcelona this season! ”

However, it didn't take long for Valencia to suffer, and in the 30th minute, Baraja lost control and fouled Pablo in a back-tackle, and referee Ilutad Gonzalez sent him off with a straight red card.

"Oh my God, it's only been thirty minutes! Our team's former captain Ruben Baraja was sent off with a straight red card, which was a fatal blow to the team that had just equalised! ”

When Hyde saw the referee take out the red card from his trouser pocket, his whole mood darkened.

……

……

Since Baraja was sent off, Flores has been walking around on the turf of the Mestalla Stadium like an ant on a hot pan, apparently rather depressed by the referee's decision.

But what made him even more depressed was the next fourth round of games, Valencia was going to challenge the defending champion Barcelona away, and there was one less big player at the critical time, which really made him depressed enough.

Three minutes later, Flores removed Ferrer and replaced him with Albiol.

To everyone's surprise, after Albiol came on the field, he took over Baraja's position perfectly, and neither Belleron nor Munitis could easily break through from his defensive area.

"It's not Albiol's first La Liga game, but it's the best game he's ever played, and from the five minutes he played, you can see that he's in full form, so that Belleron, the old churro of La Liga, can't break through to him......"

Albiol's sudden burst of power led to the team's penalty of Valencia, and the midfield was stabilized in a moment, and the forward combination of David Villa and Ailo made it impossible for Deportivo to get more players into the attack.

So, the two teams went into the dressing room with a score of 1:1.

It is worth mentioning that Aimar had a rather uncool behaviour before half-time, spitting at Capdevilla and luckily escaped punishment from the referee on duty.

******

At the start of the second half, Valencia began to counterattack, and in the opening two minutes, it was Ailo again, who used his proud speed to kill directly from the midfield to the penalty area, Andrade stretched out his right leg after Ailo made a move, tripped Ailo to the ground, and referee Irutad Gonzalez sentenced him to death.

To add insult to injury, the referee awarded a penalty and was sent off for his second yellow card of the game to Andrade.

The two sides were able to play 10 ......

David Villa converted the penalty to put the score in check.

It was also his fourth goal in two games of the season, and the staggering efficiency of the goal reminded the fans in the stands of Ailo at the end of last season.

So the cheers of these lovely fans are getting louder and louder, like ushers, leading the Valencia players on the pitch to move forward.

In the 60th minute, Valencia extended the score, Aurelio received a direct pass from Aimar on the left, Ellora went to the middle to grab the point, and then Aurelio crossed with his feet, central defender Romero cleared the ball carelessly, and the football just went to the path of Ailo forward, who did not hesitate to come with a half-volley volley, and the football hung like a cannonball in the upper right corner of the goal.

Valencia leads Deportivo La Coruna 3-1 at home.

Three minutes later, Iroh had another chance to score a hat-trick, but his support foot slipped and his shot from near the penalty spot went straight into the stands.

In the 80th minute, Iroh was substituted due to a significant drop in fitness.

In the end, Valencia also defeated the visiting Deportivo La Coruna with a score of 3-1 to win the game.

In the other match played at the same time, Mallorca beat Real Sociedad 5-2 at home to achieve their first win of the new season.

******

After Valencia's 3-1 home win over the visitors' rebounding Super Laco, Elo, who contributed two goals and an assist throughout the game, once again became a guarantee for the day's newspaper sales.

The other day was spent in the rumors of 'going to be the best player in the world', and this game once again showed amazing form, two shots and one pass, and deserved to be the best in the game.

The newspapers that were still in a wait-and-see state before also put away the criticism for the time being, after all, the state of Iroh was placed here, and it would be discordant to deny it when people were so good...

Although it will bring benefits to the newspaper in the short term, it will be harmful in the long run.

However, some newspapers stood up and spoke out against it, such as El Monde Sport, the official mouthpiece of Barcelona, who was beaten by Airo single-handedly, and their main spokesperson, Juan Carlos, wrote on the front page of the day: "False! ”

The text makes a full introduction: "Although La Liga has started three rounds of the league, Valencia has an advantage in the pre-match preparation, they began to prepare for the new season as early as the end of July, the UEFA Super Cup and the Champions League qualifying matches have allowed them to find the game in advance, so it can be seen from the second round of the away game against Zaragoza, from the listed games, it can be seen that Valencia's players are in very good shape, so they can give him full support, Naturally, the table will not be bad......"

After reading it, countless readers who paid attention to "World Sports News" suddenly realized... It seems that there really is such a thing.

“…… I believe that when the league enters the adaptation period, it will be difficult for Valencia to occupy the advantage on the field, and they will be winless or defeated, and their winger Ai will also lose the support of his teammates, and the table will gradually change from amazing to mediocre......

……

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Iroh was interviewed by his old acquaintance Enrique Wien, and when faced with Juan Carlos's questioning, he smiled calmly: "Mad dog (Juan Carlos) has always been like this, when he sees someone who is unhappy with him, he will run up and bite it without any reason, as an authentic human being, I will not bite back... In short, my expression is a fact, whether it is admitted or denied, it is a fact, a fact that cannot be changed! ”

Immediately after facing the team's goal for the new season, Iroh looked a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head, "As for the goal of the new season, of course, it is the championship of La Liga and the Champions League......

Enrique Wien really asked for a look when he heard about Iroh's goals for the new season, but when he interviewed him at the World Junior Championships, didn't he also say something like 'the goal of the World Youth Championships'? It was restored to normal.

Maybe in the new season, he can really lead Valencia to that height, so... Enrique Wien is also looking forward to Valencia's new season.

******

A day later, Real Madrid lost 1-0 to Espanyol in Catalonia.

It is worth mentioning that the game was full of controversy, the home team broke the deadlock in the 68th minute, but the goal was disputed, De la Pena hung a free kick into the box on the right side of the field, Ramos pulled down Lopo, the whistle sounded, the Real Madrid players were stunned, but Halque then headed the goal from 6 yards in front of the far goal, the linesman had no objection, and the referee Rodriguez pointed directly to the center circle to award the goal valid. Most of the Real Madrid players expressed their displeasure to the referee, but could not change their decision.

Before the end, the referee, who was the most high-profile referee on the spot, sent off Ramos and Baptista, who only joined Real Madrid at the beginning of the season.

As a result, Real Madrid also suffered two consecutive defeats.

However, the upset in this round of La Liga is not over, and Barcelona, who are also playing away, also broke out a big upset, they lost 1-2 to Atletico Madrid at the Calderón Stadium.

These two upsets made the whole of Spain shudder, especially Real Madrid's successive controversial decisions, and President Florentino bombarded the Spanish Football Federation in public, "Why are we losing in a row?" Because some people are upset with us! So we're being targeted!! ”

Florentino's remarks also made headlines in Spanish newspapers the next day, not a single one.

It is also worth mentioning that the scene of Aimar spitting on Capdevilla in the third round was written in the post-match report by the referee on duty, Irutad Gonzalez, who will also face complaints from the La Liga organising committee.

In the end, Aimar was banned for three games and fined 7,500 euros.
