Chapter 871: The Basque Lion

Scolari was ready to do a big equaliser and even overtake in one fell swoop, but it was not as good as the sky, and Iroh changed the rhythm of the game with his teammates back and forth, and suddenly accelerated from the attacking left rib into the box, and the defensive attention of Ivanovic and Terry was attracted by Iroh at the same time, so that David Villa in the middle was unmarked.

Iello had a wide field of vision and was quick to get the attention of the two men before quickly passing the ball to the unmarked David Villa, who easily smashed the ball into the far corner.

In fact, Elo's assist not only helped his side score to extend the score, but also indirectly hit the Chelsea players who wanted a quick equaliser.

After the restart of the game, Chelsea's desire to attack forward was significantly weakened, and the inclination was not as strong as before, and the anxious Brazilian old man Scolari who stood on the sidelines knew that it was extremely difficult for the team to get points in this game, but he did not want to give up, and two minutes later he made another substitution, he replaced the monster Drogba to increase the attacking power of the attack.

Carlo Ancelotti also made a quick decision, removing the forward midfielder Mata and replacing it with the defensive midfielder Turkish Topal.

The-for-tat substitutions did not diminish Valencia's attacking prowess, and David Silva was more capable than Juan Mata in terms of organisational ability, so his role in counter-attacking was even more obvious.

However, no one scored in the following period, and in the end, Valencia won 3-1 away at home Chelsea to win two consecutive Champions League group stage games and move up to Group F.

With two goals and one assist, Iroh was naturally the best in the game, so the on-site director locked the camera on Iroh as soon as the referee Roki blew the whistle and gathered all the focus.

Instead of being as happy as Valencia fans would have thought, Elo looked at his former Chelsea team-mate with his mouth pursed.

CCTV commentator He Wei also gave his own closing commentary lines: "Well, with the referee Roki's whistle, the game is over, this game contributed two goals and an assist Ailo is the biggest contributor to Valencia's victory, and now they have won two games in the group stage and accumulated six points, ranking first in Group F, according to the results of the other stadium, Sparta Moscow and Zhilina drew the game, so the losing Chelsea is still the second ...... in this group"

"Although Chelsea lost the game at home, the Chinese player Zhang Linpeng, who started the game, played quite well, he assisted Torres to score the equalizer goal, and it was a pity that the next performance was comprehensively suppressed by Aillo's activity, but this has nothing to do with him personally, because Iroh's personal ability is too strong......

After the game, Iroh was interviewed by UEFA reporters in the mixed zone, and then hugged and comforted and encouraged his former teammates one by one.

During this period, there were naturally a lot of complaints, among which Modric was the most resentful, like a deep resentful woman......

Immediately, Iello became the busiest player of the game, not only following his Valencia team-mates to thank the Valencia fans who had followed, but also the home Chelsea players to thank the Blues fans in attendance......

Despite the end of the game, there are still plenty of fans who have chosen to stay at Stamford Bridge in order to get a second look at Eiro.

When Iro, with Luka Modric's shirt on his shoulder, followed captain John Terry to the stands, the crowd erupted in cheers over Stamford Bridge.

Listening to the cheers from the stands and the banners and slogans held aloft by the die-hard fans, as well as the huge poster, his heart was already filled with tears.

Clive Walker was slow to cut off the signal from the scene, so he also saw this scene and said: "What if...... I said if Ai hadn't left Chelsea, it would have been us Chelsea who would have won this game, but ...... It's a frustrating reality that the player who was able to decide the game is gone, and maybe, never to return, sorry...... But watch him play...... It's always a treat...... Really ......"

※※※

The next day, of course, the mainstream European news revolved around the return of Ello to Stamford Bridge, and his performance did not surprise most people, with his side Valencia winning two consecutive group stage victories away at Chelsea.

Messi, who scored a hat-trick in the first round, did not find his form in faraway Russia in the Champions League group stage at the same time, and finally equalized with a thrilling penalty created by Andres Iniesta, otherwise Barcelona would have flipped in the gutter.

With the dust settled on Aillo and Lionel Messi's performances in the second round of the group stage, all media attention is on Real Madrid, who travel to Slovak side Bursa, to see if Cristiano Ronaldo can brush up on the stats in this Group C team......

It was only a surprise result when Cristiano Ronaldo, who had 12 shots on goal in the game, scored a measly goal, while Real Madrid beat home club Bursa away because of his goal.

According to the results of Valencia, Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is naturally Ailo's most dazzling performance, directly helping the team to score three goals away from home, and the opponent's gold content is much higher than that of teams of the level of Kazan Ruby and Bursa, so Ailo, who scored two goals and provided an assist, became the best player in the second round of the 2010-2011 Champions League group stage.

Carlo Ancelotti has quickly focused on his preparations for the seventh round of the Champions League away to Barcelona on the 17th of next month, after finishing his Champions League group stage away to Chelsea.

Although Valencia is now at the top of the table with five wins, Barcelona has a home advantage, and if you compare the strength in the strict sense, then Barcelona's overall strength is stronger, but Valencia has a card that everyone fears.

That's right, it's Iroh.

Since the birth of Aillo, from the second half of the 2004-2005 season to the 2006-2007 season, the powerful dream team Barcelona has only won one game between each other, you must know that the two teams have played each other more than ten times in two and a half seasons, which means that Valencia has the absolute upper hand, and the reason is only that they have Aillo, that's all......

In fact, at this time, it is not only Ancelotti who is focusing on the league against Barcelona next month, but the mainstream media such as the Spanish newspaper "Marca", "El Monde", and "El País" have also noticed this league, so that Valencia and Barcelona's opponents Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca, which will face at home this weekend, have been treated coldly.

This can directly cause dissatisfaction with some players in the Basque Lions and Mallorca.

Even though they know that the talk is only coming from the media, they are turning their fingers on the next opponent who wants to prove that their team is no worse than Valencia or Barcelona, who have invested heavily this summer.

Athletic Bilbao, in particular, has a fine tradition, having never been relegated from the Spanish Liga since 1928, and has won Real Madrid and Barcelona at the same time, so they are full of gold, and they have also won 8 La Liga titles, 24 Spanish Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Super Cups, and are the fourth best club in La Liga, behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

In addition, this team has always been very mysterious, and the players only use players with Basque blood, so the selection is greatly limited, but because of this restriction and countless honors, it shows that the combat effectiveness of this team is very strong.

So Valencia Sport talks about this, hoping to remind Valencia: "Athletic Bilbao is the most mysterious football club in the Basque Country, from the past 100 years of history, they have maintained only Basque blood players, even if they are introduced, they must have their own ethnic blood, so they do not pay too much attention to results, they are looking for a sense of national belonging, and they also believe that only players with Basque blood in their veins will do their best to defend the honor of the club. Therefore, Valencia, who are at home at the weekend, will have to play more cooperatively and less alone, otherwise the league at home will be very tough......"

At the same time, Athletic Bilbao captain Albais said in an interview with reporters: "Valencia is the leader of the league and very strong, but we are here to tell everyone that Athletic Bilbao is not coming to Mestalla to give away points, but to disrupt the game!" If we're lucky enough, it's not impossible to win away from home! ”

The subconscious meaning is that they may not be as strong as Valencia, but football matches really can't judge the results of the game according to the actual strength comparison!

In this regard, Valencia captain Albelda openly said in an interview with the media: "They do have the strength to disrupt the situation, but don't forget, this is Mestalla!" ”

Under the war of words between the two sides of the league and their captains, it quietly came.

Athletic Bilbao do have what they are known for, playing a tough style that feels less like a traditional Spanish team and more like a simple and brutal former Bundesliga team, with an emphasis on physical confrontation and unyielding fighting spirit.

The Valencia players at home were not able to break the deadlock in the first half, and Athletic Bilbao showed considerable tenacity in the game, and captain Albes led by example, even staining the field with blood in a midfield scramble, which also indirectly detonated the fighting spirit of the visiting players.
