Chapter 123: Nihat's 'Provocation'
******
With a brace in the team's away game against Getafe, Iello took his league goal tally to 17 goals, thus leapfrogging Fernando Torres in sixth place and enjoying sixth place on his own, just one goal away from Baptista in fifth, three goals behind Ronaldo in fourth and four goals behind Oliveira in third.
Ailo's crazy table in the second half of the season has naturally attracted the attention of La Liga officials, originally according to their previous plan to give the title of La Liga best newcomer this season to Sevilla's Ramos, but now they are troubled, because of the vote for the best newcomer of the season on the official website, Ailo's crazy table Xiàn has conquered the whole of Spain, with an absolute advantage of 56% ahead of 31% of Ramos and 11% of Navas.
With the obvious advantage of counting, La Liga officials naturally did not dare to cheat, and after thinking about it for a long time, they still decided to award the best newcomer in La Liga to Valencia's Ailo.

After playing Getafe's league game, La Liga will have a half-week break, but it is not because of the international break, but on International Labor Day, so after the game, Valencia was disbanded on the spot.
For Elo, International Workers' Day was just a change of itinerary to train with the youth team, and most of the first team members were on holiday on the beach these days, so the first team could not train normally, but the youth team did not have such a problem, so he returned to the Valencia youth team training ground with David Silva, Albiol, Andy and Pyssen.
Valencia Youth lost to the away Real Madrid youth team with a huge score of 1-5 after missing Andy and Pissen in the last round of the youth league.
Now the main team is all back, this round of away challenge to the youth team of Racing Santander, under the leadership of many former main players such as Iro, like playing home, won the game with a super-large score of 7-0.
Among them, Iroh contributed three goals and two assists.
******
After this youth league game, the main players of the team also returned to the club from their respective resorts to prepare for the 37th round of La Liga.
However, at this time, the media throughout Spain focused their attention on this part of Catalonia.
Barcelona won the league title two rounds early after drawing with Sevilla in the last round, and earlier in the 37th round of La Liga, the champions celebrated by bus parade through the city, with around 90,000 Barcelona fans clapping and cheering on the streets.
On this day, almost the entire Spanish media newspaper headlines were singing the praises of Barcelona winning the league championship after a six-year absence, among which the front page of the newspaper "World Sports" had a big headline that read: "Amazing Frank, Amazing Ronaldinho, Amazing Eloo, great champions for great Barcelona!" Next year - our goal is to win the Champions League!! ”
At the same time, they also used controversial headlines such as "money can't buy championships" to satirize Real Madrid, who have won nothing this season.
Of course, not all the media are singing the praises of Barcelona, although the front page of the pro-Real Madrid "Marca" and "As" also has the slogan of Barcelona winning the championship, but instead of praising them, the title "The championship is just a product of the help of the referee" satirizes Barcelona's championship process.
Many Spanish fans know that the biggest credit for Barcelona being able to reverse Real Madrid to rise to the top of the league table this season is actually the referee, at least three of the highlight of the league this season, Barcelona won controversial penalties at the last moment, and these three penalties each allowed Barcelona to 'illegally' score six points, and these six points just filled the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

There are still two rounds left in the 04-05 La Liga season, Valencia ranks third in the league with 18 wins, 11 draws and 7 losses, with 65 points, seven points ahead of Real Betis, who are fifth in the league, and has already locked a qualifying place for the third round of the UEFA Champions League in the 05-06 season.
Now almost all of Valencia has turned their attention to the 04-05 UEFA Cup final on May 19.
If there is anyone else in Valencia who is focusing on the league right now, then there is only one person left, Ailo, who is three goals away from scoring 20 goals in the league, and with only two rounds of the league remaining, it is not difficult to average 1.5 goals per game according to his current form.
There are three key matches in this round of the league, the first is the famous Madrid derby, the second is the relegation battle Numancia hosts Racing Santander, and the third is Barcelona, who have already won the La Liga title in the previous round, and hosts Villarreal, who are fourth in the league.
It is worth mentioning that the retired defender Hierro officially said goodbye to the fans at the Bernabeu, but his farewell did not bring good luck to Real Madrid, and they played Atletico Madrid at home.
******
After the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Valencia's away game against Real Sociedad is about to begin.
In the player tunnel, the players of both teams have already walked out of their respective locker rooms, holding the hands of the caddies, and standing in line, waiting for all aspects to be ready.
Iroh stood at the back of the team, and just as he was amusing the little caddie next to him, he suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, a little uncomfortable, and turned his head and slowly raised his head.
The blue and white jersey and a distinct number 15 on the pants looked at it suspiciously, and then remembered, walked over with a smile, and stretched out his right hand, "Hey, I'm sorry, I squeezed you out of the top ten of the league's scorer list." ”
Nihat was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then realized his gaffe, and quickly stretched out his right hand and said, "Eh-that's what you deserve!" ”
Just as Iroh was about to say something, the referee led the players from both teams out of the tunnel and into the Anoeta Stadium.
Iroh quickly made an apologetic gesture and returned to his team.
"Boy, although the scorer list was robbed by you, I definitely scored more goals than you in this game!"
The moment Iroh turned around, Nihart spoke loudly.
The players on both sides who had just taken a few steps looked back suspiciously, just in time to see Iroh turn his head again, "Hey-sorry, I'm here to score at your home stadium!" ”
"And, I'm sure I'm more advanced than you!"
Then he added, quickening his pace to keep up with the group.
"Damn, doesn't this take our defenders seriously?"
All the defenders of Real Sociedad thought in unison.
What Ieloh didn't know was that his words made the Real Sociedad backline remember him.
******
"objetivooooooooo - it was Nihat Kakhovic who scored the goal - !!"
Just nine minutes into the game, the Anoeta Stadium radio was filled with a thrilling goal, Galrido's cross from the left, Kovacevic's header over Ayala, Moretti's lack of marking, and Nehat's right-footed volley into the near corner from 10 yards out.
The home team leads 1-0.
Interestingly, after Nihart scored the goal, he didn't celebrate himself, but turned around and looked for Iro's figure in the crowd, and soon - he made a triumphant gesture towards Iro, and only after seeing the latter roll his eyes did he turn around and hug his teammates to celebrate the goal.
"Hey, Seventh Brother, he's mocking you!"
As he was walking towards the center circle with the ball, Aimar walked over and touched Iroh's shoulder and smiled.
Iroh rolled his eyes, "Are you helping me or the other party?" ”
"Of course it's for you!"
Aimar immediately patted his chest and said.
"Okay, help me pass the ball later!"
"I'm good at this!!"
The game restarted, and Iroh became depressed again, as soon as he got the ball, there must be two Real Sociedad defenders watching him, one standing on his inward route, the other stuck on the route he took outside, if he went to the middle? It's even simpler, just close the door!
In the fifteenth minute, Arteta cut off the football at Aimar's feet, ready to launch a long counterattack, at this moment, Aimar, who had just lost the ball, actively counterattacked, in order to ensure that the football did not change hands again, quickly stretched his long legs forward, and at the same time his body came to a 180-degree turn, his back leaned on Aimar.
Airo turned his face to look at his bodyguard Labaka, but this bodyguard was a little far from Iro's strength, grinned, and suddenly left Labaka behind him in a few big steps, and then forced Arteta who had just gotten rid of Aimar, Arteta panicked and hurriedly returned the ball to Alberto, and Irot turned around and quickly chased the ball again.
Alberto hurriedly greeted the football, and without raising his eyes to see what teammates were in the frontcourt, he came directly to clear the siege with a big kick and kicked the football out before Iro.
The ball flew towards Valencia's backfield and Argentine Ayala got ahead of Nihat and headed the ball over to Baraja, who kicked the ball straight at the back of Real Sociedad with a long ball.
"Be careful, the ball is coming!!"
Alberto, who had just kicked the ball towards Valencia's half, was trotting forward slowly, when he heard Arteta's voice, raised his head sharply to look at the ball in the air, and observed Ferrer beside him, stuck in front of him, scrambling for the first landing point. Unexpectedly, just as the ball flew close and was about to jump, a figure had already run over quickly, and then jumped high and pushed the falling ball out.
Alberto was shocked to see who had taken the ball first, and his eyes had already followed the direction of the ball, where a visiting player in an orange jersey was ready to shoot, waiting for the ball to fly closer. Alberto was in a hurry, but he was a little further away from the man who was about to shoot Aimar, and his teammate Zubiore was rushing over in a frenzy, but he couldn't stop Aimar's shot at all.
Zubiore sent his body out of the way when he was still three meters away from Aimar, and at that moment the football flew right in front of Aimar, and his right foot was pulled up with the fall of the football.
Seeing Zubiore being easily shaken, Alberto immediately felt a sense of danger, and at this moment, Ferrer, who had previously pushed the football back to Aimar, turned around and ran towards the penalty area, and Ailo, who had forced Alberto before, also cut diagonally into the penalty area from the far end at the same moment, and now Alberto made a difficult choice!
"This is an opportunity!!"
