Valencia's win over Real Sociedad also equalled the team's record of 38 unbeaten games in the Spanish top flight, which can be said to be a double blessing, but what they didn't expect was that not long after the game, a news came from the Camp Nou that made them even more excited - Barcelona lost points.

Barcelona dropped points and Valencia won the league three rounds early, allowing them to focus more on the Champions League final at the new Wembley Stadium at the end of the month.

At the same time, it can also free up space for young players to adapt to the atmosphere of professional football.

Accompanied by the classic song "We Are the Champions" played on the radio at the Mestalla Stadium, Albelda, a veteran of the team for more than ten years, received the trophy symbolizing the league championship from the president of the Spanish Football Federation, and the whole game reached the highest peak since the end of the game.

The trophy is the ninth league trophy in Valencia's history, but it is the fifth league trophy in the career of veteran captain Albelda.

So Albelda is very excited, he turns 34 this year, there is no place for him in this championship team, and coach Carlo Ancelotti trusts the youngsters like Javi Martinez and Topal even more.

Thinking of this, it is inevitable that I will feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, as early as the beginning of this season, coach Carlo Ancelotti discussed with him to hand over the captain's armband to Elo, but he did not feel any resentment, he has been a Valencia man since the moment he was born, and now thirteen years have passed in the blink of an eye......

However, he has no regrets, five league titles, three Copa del Rey titles, four Spanish Super Cups, two UEFA Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, and one European Champions Cup......

No, there is also the Champions League final at the end of the season, and there is a good chance that he will add another glory to his career resume.

It's just that...... In the 2006-2007 season he was an absolute mainstay of the team, and now, he is just a dispensable substitute.

But looking at Iro, who was surrounded by his teammates in the middle, Albelda smiled knowingly, and Valencia handed it to him...... It will be even more brilliant!

At this moment, Albelda made up his mind...... It's time to spend more time with your family.

With Valencia crowned league champion, the mainstream European media are proclaiming that the era of Valencia is coming, but at this time, the Spanish newspaper "País" suddenly broke the news: "According to reliable sources, Valencia's meritorious captain Albelda will officially announce his retirement at the end of this season, ending his thirteen-year career in the Bat Army, and in his thirteen years of service, he has won a total of seventeen championship trophies with the team......"

"The reason why David Albelda Alex chose to retire has a lot to do with his age, and there are many injuries this season, Valencia has the ambition to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for hegemony, and the previous Valencia president Xiao said that in order to continue to be competitive after this season, he will further supplement the squad, and the survival space of the veteran will be compressed to the extreme"

"Albelda, who has dedicated his life to Valencia, naturally will not play for any La Liga club except Valencia, and he himself has no plans to play abroad, retirement is the best choice, in fact...... Choosing to retire at the height of the team's glory is the best option, like former Valencia goalkeeper Canizares, leaving the place for the better youngsters......"

Suddenly, countless media began to verify the authenticity of the matter.

If Iello is the one who led Valencia to its greatest glory, then Albelda represents a witness to the history of Valencia from glory to trough and from trough to glory.

In this regard, former Valencia goalkeeper Canizares expressed surprise in an interview: "Alex is like he never knows tiredness, and the Champions League victory in the 2006-2007 season has the most direct relationship with him!" ”

The implication is that Canizares thinks that the club is not humane and is expelling the veterans......

As a result, many Valencia fans began to gather around the team's training base and office building, holding banners and slogans about leaving Albelda.

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Albelda issued a statement on his social network Twitter: "Thank you for your support of me, but I enjoy that I am 34 years old this year, and my peak is long gone, instead of waving goodbye to everyone at the twilight of my age, it is better to take the initiative to say goodbye at the most glorious time and love your ...... forever"

Not long after Albelda finished tweeting in the locker room, Iroh waved goodbye to his teammates who had left training, and then sat down silently next to Albelda.

"Did you persuade me too?"

Just as Iroh was brewing feelings, Albelda suddenly said.

"Huh?" Airo laughed dryly and said, "Hehe...... Yes. ”

"In fact, retirement is not an unexpected thing, with my young rise, my body has not been able to keep up with the rhythm of the top league, coupled with the perennial injuries have made me a little exhausted, rather than staying in the team to stay in the water cooler, it is better to leave more time for the family, these years for the team, the time to accompany them is too little......"

Iroh sat on the small bench next to him, silently listening to Albelda's conversation, which made him subconsciously think of the previous captain Canizares.

Parting...... Always the most painful word.

Especially the teammates who have struggled together on the green field, that's a sad feeling.

"Since you have decided, then I will not advise you, after all, this is a decision you made after careful consideration, I support you very much, and ...... You are indeed old, haha! In the end, Iroh said with a wink.

"You kid." Albelda shook his head and smiled bitterly, sometimes there is really no way to take Elo.

The two then chatted for a while, and as Iroh was packing up his things and preparing to leave the locker room, he turned his head and said, "David, I will practice it for you with the Triple Crown, just like the old captain." ”

In fact, Albelda said so much to Elo, and it was this sentence that was waiting for her.

Albelda rubbed his hands together and smiled, "I hope so." ”

The next day, the press officer of Valencia FC issued a declaration on behalf of the team, saying goodbye to Albelda in the penultimate round of the league at home against Levante in the penultimate round of the season, hoping that more fans would be able to come to the scene to give him a practice.

At the same time, coach Carlo Ancelotti also said in an interview with reporters that Albelda will definitely be given a chance to play in the Champions League final.
