"According to reliable information from reporters in front, after Vicente and Albelda caught a cold, Valencia's star Ai is also suspected of contracting the flu, because he was absent from all the training sessions that took place yesterday afternoon, and according to the hotel staff at the hotel where Valencia stayed, their veteran team doctor bought a lot of fever-reducing drugs at a nearby pharmacy......"

Flores angrily pressed the power off button on the TV remote.

Although Ero expressed his desire to play at noon yesterday, Flores couldn't joke with Elo's body, so he naturally rejected Elo's request.

Of course, here he also thought of ways to reduce losses.

That is to cover up the absence of Elo due to a cold before handing in the starting line-up to UEFA, and then it can disrupt the pre-match deployment of the home team Shakhtar Donetsk and minimize the loss of Elo's absence.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the Ukrainian reporter was so powerful, and it only took one day to report the news that Airo might miss the game, which directly disrupted his wishful thinking.

……

……

At the same time, Luchescu, the head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk, also saw the sports news of the Ukrainian National Sports Channel that morning, and the expression on his face immediately changed from surprise to surprise.

He knew that if this game was as the news said, then the team would definitely be able to fight for it!

He didn't dare to hope for the Champions League knockout round, the team has a few pounds and a few taels, as the head coach, he knows better than anyone that it is already very good to be able to participate in the UEFA Cup, and now the team has three games, one draw and two losses to accumulate 1 point, and if you want to appear in the UEFA Cup as the third in the group, you must at least remain unbeaten against Valencia, the champion of La Liga.

It would be better if I had won!!

And Iroh's absence from the cold will be an opportunity to score points!

This news was nothing short of a turning point for the team to qualify for the UEFA Cup!

****

"I want to play!" Iroh tried to keep his tone and expression as normal as possible, because he knew his physical condition best and couldn't meet the requirements of playing, but his eagerness to play was unmatched.

"I'm sorry, Ai! You are no longer physically fit to play. ”

Flores also tried to make her tone a little kinder, shrugged her shoulders, and refused Ello's request to fight.

"But I'm no problem at all, I can run and jump!" Iroh was in a hurry, for fear that Flores would exploit his chance to play, and said excitedly.

Flores continued to shake her head, apparently determined not to let Arlo start.

"How can you believe that I'm okay?"

Iroh's voice was loud, drawing the attention of his teammates.

Maybe Flores didn't want to make her relationship with Elo too stiff, and after a little contemplation, her tone became less firm, "Unless you ask the team doctor Hernandez to say yes." ”

……

……

Ten minutes later.

"Ai's latest physical condition can already meet the minimum requirements to play." Hernandez took the initiative to find Flores and said.

"Really?" Flores was still a little puzzled, and raised his eyebrows, but Hernandez himself told him that Iroh's physical condition was not in the best condition, "But you didn't say that before." ”

"Sir, but the diagnosis is no longer a problem at all." Hernandez pouted, spread his hands and said.

Although Flores is still very confused, the team doctor Hernandez has also said that he meets the conditions to play, and if he insists on not letting Iroh play, it will definitely cause a conflict between him and Iro, after all, Iroh is now the star of the team.

La Liga is not the Premier League, and if there is a conflict between the manager and the star of the house, the manager will leave 100 per cent.

So Flores sighed and nodded, "Okay, I got it." Then he turned around and went back to his hotel room, presumably to revise the technical and tactical style of the game.

Hernandez, the veteran team doctor, shook his head, sighed, and left the hotel lobby as well.

……

……

"Ai, remember what you promised, if you are a little uncomfortable in this game, you must sue me, otherwise I won't help you in the future!"

After the veteran doctor Hernandez left the hotel lobby, he came to Iroh's room and said fiercely.

"Got it, got it!" After hearing Hernandez's words, Iroh hugged the bad old man excitedly, patted his chest and said, "Absolutely! ”

But in his heart, he said, "Unless this game is won!" ”

****

On the night of November 1, light snow fell again over Donetsk, and it was accompanied by a drizzle, as it is often called.

In the final analysis, Iro's cold is unable to adapt to the sudden change in temperature, which will cause the body's immune function to lose its effect, and the only way to recover quickly is to replenish water and increase the body's nutrient stores.

So in order to recover as much as possible before this game, he forced himself to eat when he couldn't swallow a nutritious meal to ensure that his body had enough energy to sustain a fierce game.

The 2-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the last round of home games can only be said to have beaten them by a rough shot, and Iroh knows that this team is not as fish as the outside world says, on the contrary, the strength of the counterattack is very strong.

Fernandinho, one of the three great miners of later generations, has also shown his talent, plus Croatia international Srna at right wing-back, which is the strongest part of Shakhtar Donetsk in defence.

If you can't play in this game, then it will definitely be difficult for the team's attack to open up the situation.

What's more, his sudden appearance will inevitably disrupt the defensive deployment of Shakhtar Donetsk, which is also an excellent opportunity!

****

At half past six in the evening local time in Ukraine, the Donbass Stadium was full, and nearly 40,000 home fans filled the stadium, and the atmosphere was quite warm!

But the home team's dressing room was a different story.

Head coach Luchescu looked at the starting list of the visiting team in his hand and secretly cursed Valencia despicable!

Because when he was sure that Iroh had a cold, the team's tactics were carried out with negligence in Iro, but now that the game was about to start, he learned that Iroh could play.

It would be okay if Iroh was a small character, but he was the star of Valencia, the team's strongest attack point, and this change in personnel made him quite passive!

"Rosa, wait a moment for your mission to change, and keep an eye on their number nine!" Luchescu was in a hurry, first said to Fernandinho, and then looked at the team's main right wing-back Srna, "Dario, the previous plan has been cancelled, your task in this game is to defend the main game, unless necessary, don't cross the half!" ”

This tactical adjustment immediately made the team's center forward Agahova quite dissatisfied, but due to the authority of the head coach, it was not expressed, Srna is a very important part of the team's attack, excellent body and accurate 45-degree crosses from the right, often give himself assists.

Keeping Srna in the half would be the equivalent of one less assister.

"It is said that the day after Valencia arrived in Donetsk, the team's main players Albelda, Vicente and Ai all suffered from a severe cold, and according to local reports, it should be very authoritative and credible, because in yesterday's and today's acclimatization training, none of the above three appeared on the training ground, so let us fully doubt whether he will be able to play, but unexpectedly he appeared on the field, which is ...... Could it be a pre-game smoke bomb? ”

Sky TV announcer Andy Gray asked his guest partner.

"Judging from the starting lists of the two sides just obtained, it is indeed doubtful, but it is completely impossible for a team like Shakhtar Donetsk to use smoke bombs, unless it is against a team like Barcelona Real Madrid......"

"According to you, there is a good chance that this game will be played with illness?"

The commentator nodded, agreeing with this view.

Discussions like Sky TV's are also a question for the commentators in the studio who are commentating the game, whether they are playing with illness or are they putting smoke bombs before the game?

It is worth mentioning that the local commentator in Ukraine is still quite optimistic: "Whether this game is played with him (Aylo) or without him, this game is played on our home turf, I always believe that the final winner is Shakhtar Donetsk, with the help of the weather, the Spanish team that has adapted to playing in the sun, will definitely not be able to adapt to this kind of game in severe weather, this is our chance......"

Huang Jianxiang was still worried about Ailuo's play, because before the game, he also made a special phone call with Ailuo, and he also vaguely learned that Ailuo did have a cold, and now he is quite conflicted.

"Flores' line-up is really debatable, is it really worth it to have such a strong line-up in a game that has nothing to do with them?"

In the end, Huang Jianxiang could only throw the problem at Flores.

****

Shakhtar Donetsk's home kit is predominantly orange, but Valencia's away kit is also predominantly orange, so they wore their home white jersey for this game.

In order to adjust his mental state to the best, Iroh did not hand over the thick down jacket to the assistant coach until before kick-off.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Arlo passed the ball to David Villa and ran to his position, at which point Ballack passed the ball as well.

Iroh took a hard breath, adjusted his not smooth breathing, and slowly walked the football, at this moment Ajahova on the right rushed over, so Iroh instinctively used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball to the right side of his body, avoiding the opponent's tackle.

However, Agamevajo did not retract his foot, and kicked his left foot directly to Iroh's supporting foot, who fell to the ground in response, and the referee's voice rang out.

Iroh didn't expect that the other party would limit himself so tightly, and he began to press tightly close to the midfield.

He knew it was going to be a difficult game.

ps: Three more send, ask for tickets!!
