Chapter 335: The Most Important Competition
*****
Since the semi-finals of the Spanish Copa del Rey between Valencia and Sevilla will not start until the middle of next month, and the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals will not be until the 7th of next month, that is, two weeks later, after the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Valencia has temporarily focused on the domestic league.
After all, the league is fundamental, even if it is still ten points ahead of Barcelona.
They returned home at the weekend to take the bitter heart out of the midweek Champions League defeat on a weakened Getafe side, beating them 4-0 without bloodshed.
Iello and David Villa both scored twice.
So this issue of the Spanish mainstream media reported on the number of goals scored by Elo, who has scored 31 goals in 25 league games, and he has surpassed the personal record of 30 goals in a single season set by Atletico Madrid's Pluton in the 40-41 and 42-43 seasons.
In other words, Iello surpassed the fourth-highest number of goals scored in a single season in La Liga, which was created by Atletico Madrid legend Pluton Zào, and became a new all-time fourth.
But there are still a few more goals in a single season ahead of him.
The most goals scored in a single season in La Liga history were scored by Pacino in 51-52 and Hugo Sánchez in 89-90, with 38 league goals each.
In second place was created by Atletico Madrid's Baltazar in the 88-89 season, when he scored 35 goals.
In third place was Pacino, who was still playing for Celta at the time, while there were two other people who shared the third-highest scorer in La Liga history, namely Hugo Sánchez in the 86-87 season and Ronaldo Zào in the 96-97 season, both scoring 34 league goals.
But now La Liga has only reached the 25th round, which means that Ailo still has 13 league games waiting for him, and the first-place goal record in La Liga history in a single season is 38 goals, which is only eight goals from Ailo's current goal tally.
Based on his current goalscoring efficiency, there is a real chance that he will break this record that has been in the dust for 16 years.
So the media from Valencia was quite excited, especially since Enrique Wien, who had gradually become the editor-in-chief of the football column of Valencia Sport, was so excited about Elo that his name appeared almost every day in his column.
That's why Valencia fans dubbed him 'the number one fan'.
This issue of Valencia Sport brings together the essence of the Spanish mainstream media and adds a lot of subjective factors, with the headline of the day: Which round broke the record?
The text says: "I can't imagine that in the blink of an eye, it will be the twenty-fifth round of the league in the 05-06 season, I don't know if you remember which game of our prince started his career last season?" Right! It was the same round, the 25th round of the 04-05 La Liga season, away to Real Madrid, and everyone was not optimistic about us at that time, but ...... Our prince was suddenly born, scoring a hat-trick that sent us out of the Santiago Bernabeu and then out of control, cementing third place in La Liga and defending the UEFA Cup for the second time in our history......
“…… The prince has been in excellent form this season, scoring 10 goals in seven games in the Champions League and 31 goals in 25 games in La Liga, an average of more than one goal per game. No!!! In the context of the increasing emphasis on defense in modern football, he is a valuable asset to us to be able to maintain such a steady goal......"
“…… Now the prince is only seven goals away from the 38 goals of Pacino and Hugo Sanchez, who have scored the most goals in La Liga in a single season, and with 13 rounds left in the league, why don't we guess when the prince will close this record, according to his current form of play, three games? Four? Or five?? If you don't give 10,000 back, even if you average one goal per game, it will only wait until the thirty-third round......"
Enrique Wien's admiration for Ailo is quite high, but it does not bring too many personal opinions, which have a practical count, and although the media in places like Madrid and Catalonia may be unhappy, they sometimes have to respect the objective facts.
But newspapers like "World Sports" that have a natural disdain for Ailo are another matter, plus the third-most goals in La Liga in a single season is Ronaldo, a talented player who played for Barcelona at the time.
Both public and private should put pressure on the other party at this time to maintain the team's record!
It's best if Iroh is under pressure and doesn't score anything in the last thirteen rounds of the league, and then Valencia loses all kinds of points, and it's best to see Barcelona defend the league title!
Therefore, Juan Carlos expressed his opinion in the column without mercy: "That Chinese kid wants to break the record? Ha ha...... That's just thinking about it, breaking the record? How can it be?? It's better to go home and wash and sleep, the earth is very dangerous, and it is not very suitable for him to live at all! ”
Interestingly, on the same day, a reporter from Valencia Sport approached Ailo with this article by Juan Carlos from Le Monde Sport.
Due to Iro's recent appearance, Juan Carlos, who used to look like a pug, disappeared for a long time, but he didn't expect to reappear now, so when he saw it, he was slightly stunned, remembering who this Juan Carlos fell to the ground.
After reciting the name a few times, he remembered this person in his head, and Iroh smiled: "Some people just like to be masochistic so much, and they can still miss that feeling after so long, what a man!" Since he misses the feeling of being slapped in the face, then ...... I'll try to satisfy him! By the way, remember to let him wash his face, thank you......"
When Iello finished speaking, the reporter was very excited, he was an intern who only graduated this year, and what he didn't expect was that he would be so approachable in the hearts of Valencia fans, not only answering questions, but also saying thank you.
Thinking of this, he felt that he had the capital to show off.
When Iroh walked away, he slapped his forehead: Why did he forget to sign an autograph and take a group photo?
*****
After this big win in the league, Iello also swept away the haze of the away defeat to Manchester United in midweek and returned to the normal trajectory, usually except for training and training at the training base, basically put time in the system.
Now his personality has also changed a lot, not as often as he did last season, not because his temperament has changed drastically, but because when he was chatting with Xiaomeng in the system, he heard about the damage of alcohol to players, and if he was strict, he would make his number drop.
So he thinks that you can drink things like wine, but you can't drink it often, and you can still drink it occasionally.
So he rarely goes now.
Coupled with the defeat to Manchester United in midweek, the defeat was still a bit of a blow for him, and in the end, that goal was still a slack on the part of Manchester United, and if it weren't for the twists and turns in the whole process, it wouldn't have been so easy to score.
The schedule was not very intense this week, so he put all his energy into training, most of that time in the new simulated shooting system, and now he is going to challenge the expert level, which is the third level in the system.
After a few months of hard work, he can now handle two Specialist-level defenders, but three is no longer enough, so he still focuses on two Specialists and only challenges three when he is comfortable.
In addition to these, the individual level has also been increased by one level, as last year's European Golden Boy Award awarded 10,000 points of experience, and in addition to the automatic addition of one stat value for each attribute, two additional points were added to his volleys and crosses at 79 points under his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
With these qualitative improvements, that's why the horror of the game against Barcelona accelerated!
******
Four days later, the 26th round of La Liga was in full swing, but Valencia retained their strength in this league in order to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals.
The semi-main squad led by the unsolicited Ayroh won 2-1 away at Málaga, with Eilo continuing his good form with the assist for goals from Aymar and David Villa respectively.
Unfortunately he didn't get on the scoresheet.
In fact, the main reason is that Malaga's defenders moved too much, and for the second leg of the Champions League in midweek, Iroh had to choose to be humble on many five-five opportunities, but fortunately, the team won and no one was injured.
Although Iello did not score, Valencia fans still loved him, after all, both goals were directly assisted by him.
The second goal of the special team was the football that he passed with his right foot to the back of the left foot after breaking through on the left side, which is also known as the 'flower foot', this highly ornamental cross also made the opposing player stunned for a moment, in an objective sense, this action made the opposing defender's reaction half a beat slower, so that the small David Villa grabbed the pitching point!
After this league game, the team drove back to Valencia that evening to start preparing for the 1/8 final of the Champions League in midweek, which is the most important thing for them!
Even the chairman Soler personally made a phone call to put pressure on the head coach Flores, and if he can advance to the quarter-finals, then he can tighten his belt in the summer to give the team a transfer budget, and vice versa...... Then the team has to sell the players to make up for the financial hole in his company.
ps: I have something to do this afternoon, so there are only two guarantees for the bottom, sorry!
