Chapter 395: Basak Star, Made in China
*****
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, none of the Barcelona players playing at home remained on the pitch after the whistle sounded, and they all rushed back to the dressing room as soon as possible.
Only the die-hard Barcelona fans were left in the stands at the Camp Nou, all staring at the bloody scoreline, their eyes were confused, and they didn't know what they were doing.
And, of course, there were the visiting fans who came with the team, who were happy like children, dancing and cheering.
With many of the home fans having left the stadium early, a large part of the stands were deserted, and these excited fans, led by the leader of the Batguard, Joe Pooh, pushed forward to the stands closest to the stadium to celebrate the victory with the players on the field!
Iroh was the biggest contributor to this big victory, and there was no one!
Three goals, an assist and an attacking campaign, the best of the game without any suspense!
After the end, he became the darling of the media again, but this time Iello did not deliberately ridicule Barcelona, after all, he lost 5:1 at his home stadium, which no one can accept.
It is worth mentioning that when he finished the game, he just made a more controversial move, raising his right arm high and extending five fingers.
*****
The next day, all over Europe, used a unified title, "Camp Nou tragedy!" The background image used happens to be a photo of Iroh outstretching his right arm after the game, revealing five fingers, and this picture just reflects the essence of the game.
One of the most eye-catching is Spain's "Marca", as the exclusive mouthpiece of Real Madrid, how can there be less to take advantage of at this time?
"Barcelona lost 5-1 at home to Valencia in the national derby that ended last night, in which Ai scored a hat-trick and provided an assist, and was the key to Valencia's victory, having scored a staggering 16 goals against Barcelona in all competitions before this game, and with a hat-trick in this game, he has already scored a horrific 19 goals against Barcelona in all competitions, and his goals have only been scored since the beginning of 2005......"
“…… One of the most eye-catching goals was Ai's second goal for Barcelona, when he broke through Zambrotta on the right side of Barcelona's defense, and then used the exquisite 'Cruyff turn' to break through the captain Puyol again in the rib gap, and the interesting thing is that this passing action is the third time he has made against the Barcelona captain, and both have scored wonderful goals, I wonder how the Barcelona captain feels at this moment? ”
Like other mainstream European media "Kicker" also mentioned this Spanish national derby, "Before going to Weser Stadium in midweek to face the reigning Champions League champions Barcelona of Werder Bremen, this defeat at home will most likely affect the result of the second round of the Champions League, there is no doubt that Barcelona have been kicked at home by Valencia without a trace of fighting spirit, if in the short term, Barcelona do not return to the same form, Then there will be no suspense in this crucial Champions League group stage second round match......"
The authoritative English newspaper The Times also spoke about the result of the match, "...... No one thought that the mighty Barcelona would lose 1:5 to last season's La Liga champion Valencia at their home stadium, is this still the invincible European champion last season? Of course, they are still the proud defending champions, but they are only the defending champions, and if they don't come out of their pride, they will be greeted by the defending champions who will miss the knockout rounds......
It is worth mentioning that Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who will play the third or fourth round of back-to-back matches in the Champions League group stage against Barcelona, deliberately led the topic to this national derby on the Iberian Peninsula in an interview with the English newspaper The Guardian before starting the league with Manchester United.
“…… There is no doubt that we will be very cautious about tonight's Premier League top of the table, because there was already a proud team that set the perfect example for us last night, and they were a mess at home in that top-level contest! So we certainly don't take it lightly, otherwise we won't be able to explain to our fans if we lose so much on our home turf, but ...... If I were the manager of that proud team, then I wouldn't go on because it's boring......"
Although Mourinho did not name the proud team, but the reporters who followed European football all knew the team he wanted to express, and in the past day, only Barcelona's home game against Valencia was considered a top-level competition, and the meaning he wanted to express was naturally self-evident.
The animosity between Chelsea and Barcelona has long since begun in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 04-05, and it is normal to step on the enemy at this time.
Of course, at this time, it is natural that "World Sports" will find reasons for Barcelona's defeat in this game, but whether readers will accept these reasons will depend on their opinions.
And Eyroh's first steal and offensive goal became the best goal of the round.
*****
Valencia not only claimed a spectacular away victory, but also their 1,000-1,000 win in the club's history, and Barcelona were unfortunate enough to be a good start to another 1,000 wins.
Elo, who scored a hat-trick against Barcelona, has naturally become the center of attention of fans throughout Valencia, and he is also the kind that can do anything, and even those fans of his brother Levante have begun to support Valencia.
Iello was followed by students and workers from China, as well as media workers who had traveled across the ocean to deliver the latest news from Iro, who were now treated as VIPs in Valencia.
As long as there are Valencia fans, there is no limit to the welcome from the Chinese.
Of course, due to history, the treatment of the Japanese living in Valencia is not so good, on the contrary, it is relatively poor.
****
The away win over Barcelona has made the whole Valencia team and even the fans full of confidence in the second round of the Champions League group stage.
And basically all the mainstream European media or experts are very optimistic that Valencia can beat last season's Serie A runners-up Roma at home.
Even the fans of Roma think so.
Valencia have yet to draw a single draw so far this season, and counting the two Spanish Super Cups, they have won a horrific seven in a row in all competitions, scoring 24 goals and conceding just one in the league against Barcelona.
In addition, this season's Roma did not participate in the Champions League, just because before the end of last season's Serie A, there was a sudden outbreak of the "Italian Phonegate" incident that shocked the world, the league champion Juventus was directly relegated, and AC Milan was also fined 30 league points.
Therefore, the third place in the 05-06 season, Inter Milan, was lucky to become the league champion last season, and Roma was also lucky to become the second in the league and directly entered the main match of the Champions League.
After four rounds of Serie A, Roma have three wins and one loss to rank second in the league, second only to Inter Milan with three wins and one draw, and it is worth mentioning their defensive ability, which has done very well this season, conceding only two goals.
So after Roma ended the four-goal away win over Wono, captain Totti did not lose confidence in this game in an interview with Roma Sport, even if this game is an away game, "In the last round of the league they beat Barcelona by four goals away, and we also beat the home team by four goals, there is no difference, they are the champions of La Liga last season, and we are the runners-up of Serie A, the gap is not as obvious as everyone says, Even if we are away from home, it is not impossible to win, just like this league game that has just ended, who would have thought that we would win away from home? ”
Subsequently, the team's deputy De Rossi also talked about the upcoming Champions League group stage in Valencia in an interview with reporters, "Long before this round of the league, we were ready to face Valencia away, they are strong, but we are not weak, and from a defensive level, we are more professional than them!" ”
A day later, Iroh gave an interview to Torino Sport, and when talking about Roma's confidence in winning away from home, he responded domineeringly: "Oh? More professional in defense? So...... I'm going to break through this professional defense! ”
****
Two days before the start of the second round of the Champions League group stage, the entire Roma squad flew to Valencia.
Representing a new round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid kicked off at the Bernabeu Stadium at 8.45pm on Tuesday night, with new signing Ruud van Nistelrooy and captain Raul both scoring twice to help Real Madrid beat Dynamo Kyiv 5-1 at home.
It is worth mentioning that another La Liga team Barcelona was playing at the same time, they challenged Werder Bremen at the Weser Stadium, and I don't know if it was because of the shadow of Elo, Gao Lin was very cautious in the face of Gao Lin, who partnered with Klose in the front, especially their captain Puyol, who accidentally pushed the football into his own goal in the process of fighting with Gao Lin in front of the goal.
In the end, it was Messi, who came on as a substitute in the second half, to pull back the score on the field, otherwise the defending champions would have lost two consecutive defeats in the league and the Champions League.
In this game, Gao Lin, who directed Barcelona captain Puyol to score an own goal, also became the hero of Werder Bremen, and Ailo made a special phone call after the game.
On this day, the Chinese media directly used a legendary headline as the headline of the day's champion Europe, "Barsac Star - Made in China." ”
Interestingly, for a long time to come, Barcelona will not be able to get good fruit against teams with Chinese players, of course, this is a later story.
