Chapter 336: No One Is Optimistic

*****

For Flores, if he wants to succeed at Valencia, he will have to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, as president Soler is now in debt and if he doesn't get the results he wants, he will definitely spend less or sell players next season.

You must know that the current group of players is the strongest year in Valencia in recent years, and no matter who is missing, the strength of the team will decline.

Players like Aurelio, Moretti, Albelda, Marchena and Baraja are in the prime of their careers, and it will not be so easy for Valencia to achieve good results if they wait for a season or two to get older.

Add to that the fact that the team now has a goal-scoring Arlo and a more consistent goal-scoring David Villa, who can be sure if these players will be kept in two more years?

Although the current veteran goalkeeper Canizares can still maintain a good form, he is 36 years old and nearly 37 years old this year, and it is still unknown whether he can continue to maintain his best game condition, and the team does not have a reliable No. 2 goalkeeper now, if an accidental injury, it will definitely be a great blow to the team.

So now that Flores has so many good players, he should come up with a little bit of success, otherwise it will be difficult to say in two years.

Taking advantage of the chaos that Real Madrid is in, you can win as many championships as you can, and once this giant comes to his senses, it will be the world of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

After analyzing the team, Flores knew where to focus now.

If circumstances allow, then revert to the league and the Copa del Rey.

Valencia's second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United has not yet begun, and Valencia fans have already prepared for this match.

In particular, when I heard about the team's treatment in the hotel before the game, I had a posture of returning a tooth for a tooth.

However, when Iroh was interviewed by "Marca", the reporter also talked about this, and he said with a rather graceful manner, "We recognize our own strength very much, there is no need to make these small moves, anyway, I think we are much stronger than Manchester United, the first leg was just an accident, I firmly believe!" In that game two days later, it must be our Valencia, Manchester United? They can only go home and continue to play in the league and the FA Cup! ”

The keen reporter immediately relayed Elo's opinion to the ears of Manchester United players, and Scholes, who has a fiery personality, said in an interview with the Manchester Evening News, "Some people are not afraid to flash their tongues when they speak? Know that we are the most successful club in the history of the Premier League! Known as the Red Devils Manchester United!! With a wide reputation throughout the world, what is Valencia? If the strength is not good, he will talk big......"

Scholes's words immediately drew a wave of support from Manchester United fans.

The big spat of the players on both sides before the game has always attracted the attention of the fans the most, and this time it was no different.

On the same day that Iello and Scholes finished their interviews, a clash broke out between fans on both sides, but fortunately, the police intervened in a very timely manner, otherwise it would have been difficult to deal with casualties.

It didn't take long for Marchena, who had an equally fiery personality, to get involved in a war of words, and in front of the Manchester Post, a local media outlet in Manchester, said, "What did that little guy say?" Our strength is not good?? We are at the top of La Liga ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid! What are you Manchester United? was given the top spot in the league by an international mercenary group, hehe...... I think that brother is not afraid to flash his tongue. ”

Marchena's words immediately caused Scholes to be unhappy, you must know that the person he hates the most in his life is that others call him a dwarf, so when he was interviewed that night, he snorted coldly, "It's nonsense to say so much before the game, let's wait until the game to talk about it!" Anyway, it must be us Manchester United who advances!! ”

Later, Baraja and Fletcher joined the battle of words, and even the usual calm players such as Albelda, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville joined in.

So on the day of the race, the sales of the newspaper were quite amazing.

In the corner of the Champions League column, Marca described the home match between Valencia and Manchester United as follows: "The game has not yet started, fans on both sides of the game have broken out in a skirmish on the streets of Valencia, fortunately, the police reacted in time, otherwise the game has not started, the two sides will enter into silence, this game is more hot than expected......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This game is indeed not to be lost for Valencia, and it can be seen from the last round of the league that Valencia are determined to win this game, as they almost used a full bench to face the weekend league game, but Manchester United are by no means weak, and the result will only be known through the evening game. ”

"As" newspaper focused on the war of words between the two sides of the game, "Before the game started, the most exciting thing for everyone was the war of words between the players on both sides, because this can allow them to adapt to the atmosphere of the game in advance, so that the whole person is in a nervous state, so that they can have an excellent performance in the game...... Although the head coaches of both sides were not involved in this war of words, the players on both sides were in an uproar......"

The two sides of the game had a war of words before the game, not only the fans were excited, but even the media reporters were also very excited, because according to the convention, there was a war of words before the game, and the game will be very exciting!

At least for neutral fans, that's a good thing!

*****

The day before the game, UEFA staff came to the Mestalla Stadium and put up the Champions League logo, banners, and sponsors.

At this time, it happened to be Valencia to come to their home stadium to get used to the playing field.

Iello watched as UEFA staff set up the pitch for the first time he had seen it firsthand.

People are always surprised by their first things.

So he looked at these staff members a little stunned, even David Villa's football was not received, and by the time he reacted, the football had already rolled far away.

"I'm sorry, David...... I was a little distracted just now. ”

"It's okay......"

The two began to train tacitly again.

It's just that David Villa didn't notice that Iello would still look at the Champions League logo that was posted between the first and second, second and third floors of the Mestalla stadium from time to time.

At this time, Iroh has made up his mind to help the team advance to the quarterfinals no matter what!

What if the opponent is Manchester United? What about being two goals behind? Just work hard! Nothing!!

*****

At the regular press conference before the game, Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary manager of Manchester United who played away from home, was first interviewed.

"Valencia Sport" was more tricky on this issue, although the team was full of confidence in this game, but they still felt that Manchester United should be taught a lesson, "I believe that the pre-match atmosphere of this game made Sir Alex Ferguson feel very comfortable, right? ”

Ferguson thought it was a very ordinary greeting, so he nodded, "Pretty good." ”

Immediately afterwards, the reporter of Valencia Sports continued to ask, "So it is rare for you to have such a relaxed atmosphere, if it weren't for the confidence of our team in this game, otherwise you would definitely enjoy the treatment that our players enjoyed in Manchester half a month ago!" ”

This sentence was very prickly, and immediately made the atmosphere at the press conference tense.

Fortunately, Ferguson is experienced and very sophisticated, and in the face of the prickly words, Feng said lightly, "So in order to repay your fans, we will definitely win this game!" ”

Direct and domineering!

Ferguson's answer immediately drew a chorus of cheers from the media in England!

With the embarrassment of Valencia Sport, the rest of the Spanish media did not stare at Ferguson for sarcasm, and the problem gradually came to the game.

Flores did not take too long to be interviewed at the home team's regular press conference, and ended the press conference in less than five minutes.

******

Ferguson's pre-match interview soon reached Valencia fans, who were determined to give the old Scottish man a little color tonight!

"Considering the last game, it will be a bit difficult for Valencia to turn the tables. Although this Manchester United is in the midst of the replacement of the old and the new, but its strength is not comparable to Valencia, Valencia has not participated in many Champions League knockout matches in recent years, but Manchester United is different, they can reach the Champions League knockout round every year, and the experience of the game is difficult to compare with the home team, so ...... It will be a bit difficult for the home team to qualify in this game. ”

"In the line-up of both sides, the home team Valencia has a solid attacking point, but the attacking power of the away team Manchester United should not be underestimated, and it is a bit difficult to score two goals without conceding a goal! Although Ruud van Nistelrooy suffered a calf strain in the league before this game and needed to rest for two weeks, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney in recent form in the forward line, and the likes of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes behind them, scoring a goal at the Mestalla Stadium will not be a problem! ”

"Rio Ferdinand is the anchor of this team's defence, as long as he doesn't have a big dip in form, it is not a problem to stabilize the whole penalty area, and there is an American Howard on the goal line, who has been in good form lately, and Valencia's Ai and David Villa will also have a certain difficulty in breaking down Manchester United's goal......

"Valencia wants to win this game, and a lot of Cheng DΓΉ depends on Ailo's performance, because this season, the team's results are linked to his excellent performance, so this game must depend on Ailo's performance, but ...... Manchester United are an old powerhouse and the experience of the game is something that Valencia can't even match......"

……

……

Before the game began, commentators from various countries began to analyse the upcoming game, and when they did, almost all of the commentators were not optimistic that Valencia would be able to bring back the disadvantage at home.
