Chapter 596: Valencia Fans' Belief (Three Changes)

aiaiaiaiaiaiiiiiiiiii――

Looking at Iroh, who refused to celebrate, the fans in the stands applauded collectively and chanted Iroh's name at this moment.

Elo's behaviour of scoring against his former club and choosing not to celebrate is an easy way to win the hearts of the fans, whether they are home or away, or neutral.

Because it's all a matter of one's quality, it's clear that Iroh has a good quality!

Listening to the thunderous applause coming from all directions, Iello was moved, he raised his arms above his head, clapped his hands slightly to the rhythm of the applause of the fans in the stands, and then gave a high thumbs up to Joe Pooh, the leader of the 'Batguards', who was holding up his poster at the North Stand.

"Iroh is so good! It's really rare to choose not to celebrate after scoring such a wonderful goal, especially in the away goal in the Champions League quarter-finals. Huang Jianxiang's voice changed and shifted the topic to the relationship between Ello and Valencia: "Valencia is the place where Ello was nurtured, and at the same time it is a place that has witnessed him go from an unknown to a world superstar, and he uses this way to thank the team that has trained him......"

"As he said in an interview with reporters, he wants to tell everyone in the world that Valencia must be a masterpiece, and Iello has fully proved it, and his goal is the best proof of this......"

Elo's brilliant header was the talk of the studio commentators until the end of the first half, and in terms of spectacle, it was definitely one of the top five goals in the Champions League last season.

If they were to judge the best goal, Iroh's goal would be the absolute first!

As for the biggest reason why Iroh's goal was discussed until the end of the first half, neither side had scored again during this time.

Valencia, who conceded the goal, wanted to equalize, so Chelsea, who were playing away, consciously contracted the defense and put Ailo in front of the Valencia backline, forcing them to have the heart to equalize, but not to invest enough troops!

Although Mourinho's tactic looks a bit of a rogue, it works very well.

In fact, according to Valencia's current lineup, if you go head-to-head with Chelsea, you will likely suffer a big loss at home!

Obviously, Flores City, who have experienced two seasons of Champions League baptism, has a lot of depth and cares about more things, but at the same time, it also makes him less timid and timid, which is one of the reasons why Valencia does not dare to invest too many troops when they are behind.

In the fifteen minutes of the break, Mourinho only had one request for the team, that is, to defend the back and wait for the opportunity to counterattack!

In the second half, it was easy to play again.

Although Valencia had the ambition of equalising, they were afraid of the speed and efficiency of Chelsea's counter-attack, and they never dared to invest too much in attack, especially after a quick counter-attack by Eloton Guò hit the crossbar.

Big man Zikic was largely inactive for almost 60 minutes, so he was replaced by the more experienced Morientes in the second half.

It is worth mentioning that when Zikic was off the court, he refused to shake hands with Morientes and head coach Flores.

It wasn't until the 73rd minute of the second half that the score changed, but it wasn't the home team that equalised, but the visitors who extended the score......

It was a quick pass and a nimble run that led to a mistake by midfielder Baraja and tripped Frank Lampard in front of him, and the referee on duty decisively awarded a free-kick about 29 metres from the goal.

For the referee to award a free kick in such a good position to the away team, the home team fans in the stands were quite unhappy!

Because on this field, they have seen many opportunities from set-pieces to send the ball into the opposition goal......

Although the home fans hoped that Elo's set-piece was deflected wide of the goal, the truth is that idealism cannot contradict objective facts.

To deal with the free-kick of almost 30 meters, Valencia put up a four-man human wall.

Goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei reacted quickly, but he was helpless by the speed, power and angle of Iro's direct free kick!

The free kick is like a cruise missile, and it goes straight to the position between the right post and the crossbar of the goal, which is commonly known as the absolute dead end!

Iello's free-kick stunt recreates Mestalla!

Similarly, after scoring the goal, Iello still did not choose to celebrate, but turned around and walked back to his own half after confirming that the ball had flown into the net, waiting for the opponent's kick-off.

※※※

Valencia fell behind twice and there was no way back for them, having to fight for it, conceding two away goals at home, and with their toes they could imagine the consequences of going to Stamford Bridge in the next leg......

Must score!

But...... Chelsea, who then scored two away goals, set up a bus, much to the displeasure of the home fans, and a flood of boos fell from the sky.

But...... Which of Chelsea's current players on the pitch is not seasoned?

So boos don't have any practical effect on them.

Coupled with the fact that Valencia conceded two goals in a row at home, and had Airello's nuclear deterrent at the back, it was normal for them to lose confidence in this game, which made the attacking organization impatient.

Valencia's current top scorer, David Villa, played the role of center after Zikic's departure, but his physicality was not on the same level as Terry and Carvalho, and he quickly lost himself in the muscle group......

Flores, who was standing in the command area of the home team, could only smile wryly and shake his head, facing a team of Chelsea's level, it would be a strong striker to show the prominent role, just like ...... Iro, who is currently wearing the blue number nine jersey!

Even if it is still 0-2, the Valencia players playing at home do not dare to invest in the attack, because they have no idea when Ailo will break out, and when the home team is three goals behind, that is...... Despair!

In the end, Valencia lost 2-0 at home to Chelsea.

At the same time that the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Mestalla Stadium director focused the camera on Iello and then used technical means to push the camera to a close-up of his face.

In the camera, Iroh pursed his lips and didn't seem to be in a good mood.

As usual, he will definitely celebrate wildly with his teammates if he wins, and the strategic significance of winning a 2-0 away game is quite important, because if he returns to his home stadium in the second leg, as long as he keeps a draw, or even a goal loss, he can easily qualify for the last four of this season's Champions League!

But at this moment, it seems that Iroh is not wearing a blue nine, but a white nine.

Taking a deep breath, Iroh walked over to his nearest friend, David Silva, and patted the latter, who was crouching on the turf, and when he turned his head, he held out his right hand.

David Silva subconsciously stretched out his right hand, stood up from the turf along Iroh's right hand, and at the same time clenched his left fist and gently hit Iroh's chest: "Good boy, you dare to murder the old master!" ”

Iro, who was originally in a heavy mood, was made such a fuss by David Silva, and the worry in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Thank you......" Iroh smiled and gave David Silva a punch back.

"How about a jersey swap?" David Silva gave Arlo a blank look, then took off his shirt.

After exchanging jerseys with David Silva, Iroh walked over to his former teammates and comforted them.

※※※

The personal emotions of professional players are still good, especially after the game, everyone knows that the end of the game means that the past cannot be changed, so the negative feelings come and go quickly.

Led by David Villa, David Silva, Albiol and others, Iello slowly walked through the stands of the Mestalla Stadium to thank the fans who were there.

"Ai Ai Ai Ai - We love you forever!"

"Kid, tonight's game was awesome!!"

"It's a pleasure to watch you play, even if you're gone!"

……

Even though the game was over, none of the home fans who came to watch the game were willing to leave, replacing the slogans used in the game.

"Ai, happy home!"

"Come on, Ai, you will always be our child!"

"No matter where you are, you are a hero of Valencia! Forever!! ”

"If you can't stay anywhere else in the future, Mestalla will always welcome you!"

……

Looking at the slogans held high by the home fans, Iroh could no longer hold back the feelings suppressed in his heart, and tears of emotion flowed down his resolute face, and finally intertwined with the sweat on his body.

As the only person who scored two goals in this game and became the best on the spot, Iello was naturally the player who explained the most on the camera, so his real performance made the commentators in the studio feel a little emotional, especially Canizares, who was a guest commentator on Valencia No. 1 Sports Channel.

"If he hadn't left Valencia, I'm sure it would have been us Valencia who would have celebrated at this time, because he was everywhere in victory, like all the trophies we enjoyed last season, and now we can only look up to others to lift the trophy, Ai's departure is not a simple departure, but a departure with all the trophies......"

In the past two seasons, Hyde, the leading commentator of Valencia's first sports station, has been known as Iroh's 'brainless fan', and at this moment, he also followed Canizares's words, saying: "But I firmly believe that with Ai's belief in Valencia, I believe that in the near future, he will definitely return to this stadium and become the king here again, I believe!" ”

Canizares turned to look at Hyde in surprise, and saw that the other party's expression was quite resolute, as if he was not joking.

Not only were the fans who came to the Mestalla Stadium reluctant to leave, but the Valencia fans who were watching the live TV were also reluctant to turn off the television, and they all wanted to see Elo's moment in the Mestalla, even for a second longer.

When the fans watching the live TV heard Hyde say, 'I believe that in the near future, he will definitely return to this stadium and become a place again, I believe it!' After that, I subconsciously clenched my fists, and I was extremely firm in this belief!

Although they all know that it is unlikely, they are willing to wait!

We will wait, our king!
