"After the tempering of La Liga and the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands in the first half of the season, Ai has become the hottest young player in European football today, and his cousin xiΓ n also deserves this name, and the never-ending pace of scoring goals makes us cheer for Valencia, winning all four league games this season... In the first game of the UEFA Champions League in 05-06, he helped the team beat the Serie A giants Inter Milan by three goals, and Ai's watch can already be compared to the first-line stars, and I believe that as long as he continues to play steadily, he will definitely become the brightest superstar......"
From the headline of "Valencia Sport", Enrique Wien also wrote his concern on his column, "Although the team has signed an latest contract with Ai before the start of this season, and the treatment has reached the highest level of the team's second grade, but the liquidated damages clause of 50 million euros is a fatal loophole, and when Ai continues to play, like the owners who are not short of euros and pounds, they will definitely spend a lot of money on it, will he be able to stay in Valencia at that time?" β
Soler frowned and put down the newspaper in his hand.
At first, he was still proud of this 50 million euro breach clause, but according to Enrique Wien's analysis of him, it seems that it is not safe, but very dangerous...
So, he made a phone call to the team's general manager and sports director, respectively, and had a meeting in the conference room at half past two in the afternoon.

Mainstream European newspapers report on Iello in this way, not to mention domestic newspapers in China, which can be described as having goosebumps after reading it.
"In the first round of the group stage of the Group H Champions League that ended in the early hours of this morning, my country's young player Iello was like a ball king possessed, with two shots and one pass, helping Valencia beat Inter Milan 3-0 at home, and his amazing performance also led Inter Milan's central defender Materazzi to be sent off with two yellows and one red......"
ββ¦β¦ In this game, Iroh alone suffered eleven fouls from the Nerazzurri, and successfully broke through fourteen times in the whole game, which is worthy of being selected as a breakthrough maniac by La Liga's "Marca" and "As", from these two simple numbers, we can know how dazzling his performance in the game is, and there are many places on his body that are worth learning from many players in the Super League... The spirit of never giving up and being good at self-expression is indeed worth learning from, and only in this way... Only then will our players be able to realize their own shortcomings, and only then will there be more room for improvement......"
A front-page news excerpt from Sports Daily.
"Football Newspaper" directly named it with such a biased title as "Chinese players are exemplary among foreign players", and the background picture is the celebration action made by Ailo with his back to the stadium camera after scoring the first goal, and the text even said: "It is impossible to describe Ailo's play in this game with a perfect table, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to describe it with words like 'miracle', among the few opportunities, he seized the opportunity he deserved, and at the same time... He also gave up his chance, as he conceded a penalty to team-mate David Villa before full-time, and also had a chance to kick the ball at the crossbar and the post, otherwise... We've had players who have been able to score a hat-trick in Champions League history, but unfortunately ......'
ββ¦β¦ Of course, we didn't come for nothing, with his two shots and one pass helping the team beat Inter Milan and also gave Valencia a good start to the knockout stages of the second stage of the Champions League. β
In addition, "Football News" also mentioned Zhao Xuri and Hao Junmin, who came on as substitutes in the second half of the other two Champions League games, "In another game of Lyon's away game against Luxemburg at the same time, Chinese player Zhao Xuri came on as a substitute in the thirtieth minute of the second half, and in a limited time he played his strength, twelve touches of the ball, and the pass success rate was as high as 92%, which is a very high number, and he was also given a high score of 6.5 by the UEFA League rating after the game, Thus... His table is very good! β
ββ¦β¦ In the Schalke 04 home game against AC Milan, Hao Junmin came on as a substitute in the seventeenth minute of the second half, and in the effective playing time, the defense in the face of Jankulovski seemed a little easy, excellent ball control skills and breakthrough ability, making it invincible, although Schalke 04 lost to AC Milan at home in this game, but Hao Junmin's table was recognized by AC Milan's left full-back Jankulovski, and the other party took the initiative to exchange jerseys with him after the game......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
It has been praised in the newspapers for such a high profile, let alone on the Internet, just from the registrants of the only official fan site in the country, "Ai Shen's World" - as many as 32 million registrants.
And there are at least five million permanent followers every day, which means that each person makes a new post every second, and only 86,400 posts.
Of course, it's not that other posts can't be posted, but after they are published, thousands of posts will be covered by new posts, unless they are refined by the administrators... will get the support of more people.
One of the posts of a netizen named "Ai Shen Invincible" named "Ai Shen Invincible" called friend 0402 has been read more than 20 million times in just half a day, and the messages below the post have reached hundreds of thousands.
This shows how much domestic fans expect from these players who stay abroad.
"Excerpt from the original words of Inter coach Roberto Mancini's 'Valencia is a great team, they have a lot of great players in their team, just like Ai in their team, I am amazed by the speed of growth, this game is not so much a loss to Valencia as a loss to ...... ', it can be seen that Elo's performance is a miracle, even the opposing coach praised him, I have to say, Elo is an inexplicable being......"
******
It is worth mentioning a report from the British media newspaper The Sun, in which they focused on the controversy caused by the players of Valencia and Inter Milan before the match.
"I'm sure you're curious about the celebration that Ai did after scoring his first goal, right? So...... I have an obligation to tell the majority of readers, in fact, there is a reason for this - because before the game, Inter Milan's 'king' Adriano once revealed that he did not know who Ai was when he was interviewed by our reporter, I think...... Ai's goal was to tell SΓΉ Adriano who he was, so ...... We have every reason to believe that this is a-for-tat ...... between the two."
ββ¦β¦ Another thing that has to be mentioned is the abnormality of Inter Milan's central defender Materazzi in the first ten minutes of the opening game, because he has lost his position twice and appeared in the position where the midfielder should appear, and the most puzzling thing must be why he committed consecutive fouls against Ai, in fact... There's a reason for that......"
Many readers who have purchased this issue are full of curiosity about the next content, what is the reason for Materazzi to target Airo?

Although the sales of this issue of The Sun were very good, it still did not cause much repercussions in Europe, but William Pereira, the president of Nike's headquarters in Europe, became very interested in Ayro, and he had already compiled a fifteen-page document in just two days to report to the headquarters in Beaverton, USA, because Arlo's style is very suitable for Nike's style - with personality!
Moreover, Ailo has a huge market in China.
Although he has been publicly opened from the national team by the Chinese XX Football Association, it has not hindered the support of the Chinese for him.
That's why William Pereira moved the idea of signing Elo.
What's more, he found a very interesting thing, that is, Adidas, a famous sports brand that originally had a cooperative relationship with the Chinese XX Football Association, once had the idea of signing Ailuo, but at that time, the relevant leaders of the Chinese XX Football Association were using the pressure, and Adidas had to give up this future star.
At the same time, it also allowed William Pereira to pick up the bargain.
Because presidents like them are distributed in various countries, but they are one of the candidates to succeed the president of Nike headquarters in the future, and the players signed are the weight of their competition, although Iroh has not yet become popular at this time, but William Pereira is full of confidence in it.
Can the top scorer and best player of the World Youth Championship, the top scorer of the Spanish Primera League in the 04-05 season have no future?
No way!
He is still very sympathetic to the president of Adidas in China, why would he lose such a promising young player for the sake of the Chinese XX Football Association, this is simply equivalent to a stupid x!
******
That evening, William Pereira, Nike's president at its European headquarters, made a phone call with Iello's manager, Papa Adrian.
The next day, Papa Adrian told Iroh the good news, but... After careful thinking by the two, this matter is still a little behind, because it is still the beginning of the league and the Champions League has just begun, and it is not a good time to focus on advertising revenue outside the stadium.
Of course, the most important reason is that Nike's conditions are not yet satisfactory to Papa Adrian, and only after Iroh's performance is getting better and better, he will have higher chips and strive for better treatment.
After all, this is related to their own direct income, and they have to be cautious.
The next day, well-informed reporters almost reported the news, but it didn't cause a sensation, because every year Nike really values too many players, but not many are signed in the end.

Three days later, Valencia started the fifth round of the league at their home stadium against Real Sociedad.
Flores rotated multiple positions in the line-up, with Elo, Aimar and David Villa all resting and sitting on the bench.
Originally, there was news to watch in this game, but Elo, who played well at home to Inter Milan in midweek, was rested, so there was no need to remember all the good content written before the game.
Only one Nihat is simply unable to arouse the curiosity of the masses.
However, the game ended in a 1-1 draw, and Iroh came on as a substitute in the 71st minute of the game, but his presence did not help the team to overtake the score, and in the more than 20 minutes of play, only a few good breakthroughs were eye-catching, and he was a little impatient on the goal.
ps: The second guaranteed is more likely to be late, and I have to catch the car back to Guangzhou.
