Chen Tao made a beautiful Champions League debut, but the other Werder Bremen game did not deserve to make Chinese fans happy, and Gao Lin sat for the full 90 minutes before the bench.

It can be regarded as experiencing the atmosphere of the Champions League in advance.

On the first matchday of the Champions League, the traditional powerhouses basically got the three points, but... Manchester United don't seem to be in great form this season, losing 0-1 at home to Villarreal.

It was the number one upset on the first day of competition.

Barcelona, who lost at home to Valencia four days ago, were in fine form on the first matchday of the Champions League, beating Greek side Panathinaikos 4-0 away.

However, these are all stories from mainstream European sports media, and are in a completely different direction from those reported in China, just as the Times and The Guardian in England are helping United find reasons for their defeat, or glorifying Arsenal's excellent performance in the first round of the group stage.

The rest of Europe is the same, mainly based on the content of their own national teams, and the analysis of other teams is only a small part of the newspaper, or even a passing one.

Of course, the Chinese sports media mainly reported on these teams with Chinese players, and with Chen Tao getting off to a good start at Ajax, everyone is also full of expectations for Zhao Xuri of Lyon and Hao Junmin of Schalke 04.

Of course... The most anticipated is Elo in Valencia.

Because he has scored seven goals in the first four rounds of La Liga, he is the top scorer in La Liga, and he is also ranked first in the top five European leagues.

With Ellilo's outstanding performance in La Liga, it has also made domestic fans look forward to his performance in the Champions League.

******

Flores and Roberto Mancini are both up-and-coming young coaches in European football, and both appear polite when interviewed by the media.

It's also very harmonious for the two clubs, and this game means that there will be a little bit of harmony, but ...... This is a disaster for journalists.

Because both teams are very polite, that doesn't mean that journalists don't have any valuable news to speak of other than covering normal games.

These media reporters prefer games full of verbal and gunpowder to normal matches, like Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in the Premier League, or the feud between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane.

That's the only way to ...... Journalists have news to write, and news means sales, and if there is sales, it will also mean that they will have a considerable bonus.

So these journalists no longer expect what kind of gunpowder smell will arise between the two young marshals, they are ready to divert the target, in particular... Adriano, who has recently been dubbed the 'King' by Inter Milan fans.

This is a notoriously bad boy and big mouth.

Maybe...... There will be news to dig up!

******

After Inter Milan's last visit to the Mestalla Stadium, reporters surrounded Adriano.

"There are still a few hours to go, what are you expecting from this game?"

A reporter from Daily Sports asked.

Adriano crossed his hands on his hips and raised his eyebrows, "Of course we will win this game, Valencia is definitely not our opponent!" ”

Tut-tut-tut――

In an instant, Adriano murdered a lot of 'flywheels'.

The reporters immediately became excited, they didn't expect Adriano to answer the first question so hotly, worthy of a big mouth!

The reporters of "World Sports" laughed, this is simply the same as the Chinese kid in Valencia, full of confidence in any game!

Immediately afterwards, the reporter of "Daily Sports" struck while the iron was hot, pretending to be worried and asked: "But... Valencia, who are playing at home, now have an in-form Ai who has scored seven league goals in four league games......"

"Oh?" Adriano immediately opened his mouth and was surprised, he scored seven league goals in four games, which is incredible!

It's already comparable to half of his goals last season, but of course he won't admit that Ilo is better than him, so he shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly, "I haven't heard of it..."

Wow......

The excitement of these reporters was even more palpable, and they could see in each other's eyes.

Except, of course, the local sports media in Valencia.

They dug up the sensational news from Adriano, so ...... Now it's the Chinese kid's turn!

So, I hastily ended the interview with Adriano and set off for the hotel where I dined in Valencia......

******

As soon as the bus for the Valencia players arrived at the restaurant, the players were surrounded by a swarm of reporters before they could get off the bus, which surprised the players on the bus.

It's just an ordinary Champions League group stage, so there's no need to be so heavy, right?

If you have to find something in common with Inter Milan, it will be Flores and Mancini, who are also young coaches, but ...... Didn't they already meet at the pre-match press conference?

So...... There is only one last point left, and both teams are the top three teams in their respective leagues last season.

Of course, this is not the case.

These players who were puzzled also knew the reason later.

After the Valencia players got off the bus in batches, the reporters surrounded Elo.

After listening to the questions of these reporters, Iroh looked at these reporters, and from the eyes of these people, he seemed to be able to see some clues, one by one with malicious smiles, right?

Do you want to get a sensational topic out of your mouth?

Thinking of this, Iroh seemed to have guessed a little bit, so he shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "He doesn't know about me?" Never mind...... I'm sure in the evening game he will know who I am! ”

At this time, Iroh's teammates realized why the reporters were so idle and came to the restaurant where they were eating, originally to dig up a little news from Iroh's mouth.

But... They were visibly disappointed.

******

Immediately after, these reporters were like idle eggs, and after interviewing from Iello's side, they ran to the hotel where Inter Milan was staying, looking for Adriano.

They were lucky enough to see the tall Adriano in the hotel lobby.

The reporters were like a professional news reporter, patiently telling Adriano what they had learned from Valencia.

Adriano's reaction also hit their heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Humph! Then I'll wait for him (Iroh) to tell me who he is..."

At this time, Materazzi happened to come to Adriano's side, "Huh? What's wrong with our 'king'?? ”

After some explanations from journalists...

Of course, the reporters also changed a lot of content, such as Iro's disdain for Inter Milan's backline, disdain for Materazzi and Cordoba and others, etc...

Materazzi was as indignant as Adriano, he clenched his fists and said loudly: "Then I'll let him know what Italian defense is, and... If I have the chance, I'll let him know why the flowers are so red...", he grinned.

Suddenly, several reporters opposite Materazzi couldn't help but shudder, as if the temperature in the vicinity had suddenly dropped by several degrees.

Now...... The reporters left satisfied.

With all this news in hand, plus the results of tonight's game, whether they win or lose or draw, they will have a lot of news to write about, not to mention the sales of the newspaper tomorrow!

There are even quite a few reporters who have sent text messages to their bosses in advance to reserve bonuses.

Around 7 p.m., the Mestalla Stadium was almost full, and although the players had not yet arrived, the fans in the stands were not idle.

They entertained themselves and sang the team song under the leadership of their respective leaders.

The white-clad home Valencia fans covered almost the entire Mestalla stadium, with only the occasional small spot of blue and black visitors spotting.

They showed great enthusiasm for their team's first Champions League game, as if they hadn't seen their team in a Champions League game on their home turf for a long time.

Actually, they saw it at the end of December last year, but it wasn't that they had already lost their qualification from the group at that time, and they could only fight for third place in the group and participate in the UEFA Cup.

But now it's different, the team is strong, the speed with which David Villa in the front line has integrated into the team is amazing, and the presence of an in-form Iello has made them look forward to the Champions League in the new season.

The most striking thing in the whole Mestalla stadium is the flag waved by Joe Pooh, the leader of the bat guards, - the Champions League, we are back!

Indeed, we are back!

Having won the UEFA Cup four times, they no longer need this kind of European second-tier title, they need the St. Bride Cup.

Although they know that this is unrealistic, Valencia is not a world-recognized giant, they are only a domestic giant, but these fans can't help but fantasize and look forward to...

******

At half past seven o'clock local time in Spain, the players of both sides began to enter the stadium to warm up.

Tons... The entire Mestalla stadium seemed to tremble slightly, especially when the Valencia players, led by captain Canizares, waved to the home fans in the stands, and the whole sky was filled with their burst of energy.

When the two sides entered the stadium to warm up, there was not much to make the reporters on the sidelines ecstatic.

They would like to have a live-action fight between Iroh and Adriano, who suddenly burst into sparks before the game, and of course... It's not realistic, both are players that teams rely on in the attacking line and don't run into each other during warm-ups.

But then there was a funny thing that happened, when the goalkeeper Toldo threw the goal kick, it seemed to use a bit of a lot of force, Adriano failed to catch the ball in the process of retreating, so... He had to run to Valencia's half to pick up the ball, but as usual, he didn't have to run straight over, he just had to shout and someone would kick the ball over.

This time, however, he changed his mind, as he saw that Iroh had set up his football and was about to try a free-kick shot on the spot, when he suddenly wanted to play a prank.

He kicked the soccer ball in front of Iroh before he could get up, and it was no surprise... In the process of running, Iroh was hit by another soccer ball in front of him, and he couldn't stop the car under his feet and fell on the turf.
