The day after France Football announced the 50-man shortlist for the 2006 European Ballon d'Or on its official website, CCTV's prime-time news broadcast at 7 p.m. gave Iroh six seconds to be on camera.

Valencia and China are once again closely linked.

Even the mayor of Changsha has prepared the relevant documents to establish a sister city with Valencia.

However, at the same time, the city that wants to establish a sister city with Valencia is not only Changsha City, as the fame of Ailo grows, Valencia is basically linked to Ailo, so it has also become a fragrant and gluttonous store in the eyes of the Chinese, in the past year, Chinese people who have plans to travel abroad, the first reaction is to want to go to Valencia, a seaside city.

If the city and Valencia establish a sister city, then the relevant visas will become much easier, which will help to establish friendship between the two countries, and at the same time, it can also stimulate the rise of GDP.

The conversation returned to Iroh.

Although he was selected for the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or in succession, he did not relax because of this, as a person who has come over, he knows that this year's award is basically not with him.

Unless...... Accidentally!

But this accident is estimated to be difficult to happen.

****

After the sixth round of the league against Celta, Valencia returned to the team's training base the following day.

With Ballack out due to injury and needing to rest for two to three weeks, the position was filled by Brazil international Edu.

Of course, Edu's ability is naturally not comparable to Ballack, but fortunately, this game was played at home, and there were not too many problems in attack, as long as the ball was passed to the feet of Iro, the goal was basically proper.

In this group stage of the third round of the Champions League, the Mestalla Stadium is still full.

Prior to this game, Shakhtar Donetsk, who were playing away, had already lost eight consecutive matches in the Champions League, so everyone was not optimistic about this team.

And the difference in strength between the two sides of the game is also very obvious.

Valencia's starting line-up was not only Edu replacing Ballack, but Vicente, who had returned from injury, also re-entered the starting line-up, replacing Joaquin, who had never been able to find his place in the team.

Although the two midfielders Edu and wide Marvicente needed to find form in the game after the opening, it did not prevent Valencia from rewriting the scoreline.

Because the tacit understanding between Ayello and David Villa is enough to tear apart Shakhtar Donetsk's shaky backline.

The duo made use of frequent cut-ins and one-kick passes before David Villa burst into the box and fired before the opposition defenders could react to make it 1-0

Then the two made persistent efforts, and Ailo used his personal ability to create a direct free kick opportunity about 28 meters from the goal, but he did not waste his chance to create a zào, kicking the world wave and hanging straight into the upper left corner of the goal.

And when the two goals were ahead, the time on the big screen was only 23 minutes, and many people thought it would be another big score.

But what everyone didn't expect was that in the next game, Shakhtar Donetsk chose to retreat to the half court after falling behind by two goals, which made many commentators and experts fall through their glasses.

One word, cowardice!

Two words, very cowardly!

Three words, it's intimidating!

However, this tactic did not work wrong, Valencia did not change the score again in the following games, and Shakhtar Donetsk, who were playing away, did not close the score.

In the end, Valencia defeated Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine 2-0 at home and won three consecutive Champions League group stage victories.

In the other match played at the same time, Roma beat Olympiacos 1-0 away.

Therefore, Valencia is ranked first in the group with three wins, Roma is second with two wins and one loss, while Olympiacos and Shakhtar Donetsk are in third and fourth place with one draw and two losses respectively.

In other words, if Valencia wins back-to-back matches with Shakhtar Donetsk in the fourth round, they can qualify two rounds early, and if Roma loses another game at the same time, then Valencia will qualify for the first place in the group two rounds early.

Of course, this is nothing more than a temporary fantasy.

It is worth mentioning that after the third round of the Champions League group stage, some media began to question Elo's state.

"I don't know if you have noticed, Valencia's star Ai has a clear downward trend in form, I believe that at this time someone will definitely scold me, but before scolding me, please allow me to do a simple number of analysis, first of all, we started from the first round of La Liga, he staged a big four, the table xiàn out of an amazing state, but the next number jù seems that his state is a little unstable, 1 goal in the second round, 2 goals in the third round, and the state began to pick up in the fourth round, He scored a hat-trick and only scored two and one in the fifth and sixth rounds.

Let's look back at his table in the Champions League group stage, from a hat trick in the first round and a brace in the second round, to only a pitiful goal in the third round of the group stage that has just ended, guys, the obvious decline in form will inevitably have this reverie possibility, you must know that there is a ten-day vacation before the sixth round of La Liga and the third round of the Champions League, and he has no national team tasks, in these ten days, so we have every reason to suspect that he is 'back to his old business'......"

Champions League updates from Le Monde Sport.

Although it is not stated at the end of the article, it uses ellipses, which leaves unlimited room for imagination, so this is a very successful report, because at this time last year, Elo often went to nightclubs, but as his fame rose, he went to it a lot less.

Soon, the report from World Sports Newspaper sparked heated discussions.

It's the way it is, when you're scoring goals in a row and all of a sudden there's a game where you don't score, then you're in form and a lot of media is starting to be skeptical.

It's even more interesting now, Iroh has just minus the number of goals.

You must know that his non-scoring game has not yet happened, and he has been suspected of declining form and 'returning to his old job'......

Iello laughed when he saw the World Sports newspaper from his friend David Silva's hand.

Of course, what made him want to laugh even more was the contributor to the report, Juan Carlos.

*****

Many newspapers in Spain were very interested in Juan Carlos's analysis of the number and reprinted it, setting off a wave of suspicion of Ello's decline throughout Spain.

So, he broke out!

Osasuna, who were playing away, suffered from it.

At the end of the first half, the score displayed on the big screen above the stadium was 3:0, and under this big score there was a set of numbers 9'23'36', which had the same name before this group of numbers, that is, 'AI'

That is, all three goals were scored by Aelo.

At the start of the second half, Iello continued his goalscoring form, and just one minute into the second half, he headed in David Silva's corner to make it 4-0

Subsequently, Valencia also slowed down the pace of attack, and in the 65th minute, Ailo was substituted to receive the cheers of the fans, after all, he played three games in these eleven days, and the physical consumption was obviously too large, and in this game that did not affect the result, it was time to rest well.

It is worth mentioning that Iroh held out four fingers at the camera when he left the game.

The narrator sitting in the studio immediately became excited.

Especially Iroh's number one 'brainless fan' Hyde, who was holding his breath, he said excitedly: "See? From Catalan dog--siss-tud, it's called a slip of state? It's Barcelona who are in decline! We're four goals ahead of away Osasuna on our home turf, and you're two goals behind Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, so our Ai had a quadruple and your players didn't have anything!! ”

The same is true of the commentators from Madrid, who never waste the opportunity to humiliate Barcelona in vain, because the score passed from the other field was Real Madrid's lead to Barcelona, "I have to say that Juan Carlos, the analyst of the "World Sports Newspaper", has a very strong analytical ability, and the players who score goals in every game will be studied by him to decline in form, which is really incredible, now it's good, Valencia won at home, and the league has also achieved a terrifying seven consecutive wins, Interestingly, with only seven rounds of the league played, they are already eight points behind Valencia......

"In these days, there has been a lot of news about the decline in form throughout the country, but I can only say to Juan Carlos of Le Monde Sport: 'I'll go to your grandma!' ”

These are the exact words of a local narrator from Osasuna.

……

……

At the same time, the reporters opposite Arlo reacted quickly and pressed the shutter when he stretched out four fingers, knowing that this would be the best news of tomorrow.

In European football, there is a lot of interest not only in the spit between the two sides of the football match, but also in the spat between the major newspapers.

At this moment, the reporters of Le Monde Sport, who came to the Mestalla stadium, were already starting to curse Juan Carlos, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

And Juan Carlos happened to be classified as a pig-like teammate.

The next day, newsstands on the streets of Spain were filled with news reports mocking Juan Carlos.

So when Juan Carlos saw these reports about himself at home, he was angry.

Interestingly, it was at this time that the highlights of last night's match were shown on TV, and what was even more interesting was the highlight of Valencia's match against Osasoula.

Juan Carlos didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he took the remote control in his hand and threw it at Iello in the camera.

The results can be imagined.

"Juan !!" A voice that made Juan Carlos feel palpitating in the kitchen.
