Chapter 456: Seeking Abuse?

The previous transfer rumours of Ello were at best media hype and no actual developments, but now it is different, what will happen when Ello's agent Papa Adrian actually met with Chelsea CEO Kenyon at this critical time?

I guess many people can imagine it with their toes.

With a photo of Kenyon and Papa Adrian clinking glasses in the restaurant, this makes it even more suspicious, under what circumstances do they usually clink glasses? Isn't it just after reaching a cooperation agreement that you will clink glasses?

After the Daily Mail's official website broke the news, those Valencia fans began to panic, they all know that Valencia can be at the top of the league and also qualify for the quarter-finals in the Champions League, whose credit is this?

It's all about Ello's excellent performance!

So many fans went to the club's office building with banners and slogans to demonstrate, with the slogan "The club has no money, we can raise funds, I hope we don't sell Ai!" The slogan is the most eye-catching.

Fans know that the team is completely different from the team with and without Elo, and they hope that through their own efforts, the club will keep Elo, although they also know that there is little hope, but subconsciously tell them that they have to do it.

Valencia's die-hard fans, who came to London with the club, sat down at the team's hotel to ask Iello to make a statement.

Similarly, because of the sudden appearance of transfer rumors of Elo, it also indirectly affected Valencia's preparations.

Knowing that they have to take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night, they can't afford to be distracted by anything else at this crucial time.

As a result, Iroh had to talk to the club and hold an urgent press conference at the hotel where he was staying.

Although the press conference was held very temporarily, there were many reporters who attended, and according to Guò, at least hundreds of reporters poured in in a conference room of more than 100 square meters, of which Chinese reporters accounted for about 1/4.

And those reporters who were not there also kept an eye on the impromptu press conference.

As for the public relations staff of those big clubs, they are also very concerned, after all, it is related to this summer's recruitment, and Iroh's strength has been verified by the top leagues in Europe, and he is a practical and futuristic player.

In other words, the club that bought Iello will not have to worry about the team's goals for the next decade.

Of course, the Chinese journalists are the most excited, although they are not as professional as European journalists, but they also know how much value will change if Iello moves to Chelsea!

London, the world's number one financial center tied with New York!

They don't think Valencia, across the sea from Barcelona, has the same influence as Chelsea in the heart of London.

And under the investment of the Russian billionaire Ibramovic, this team has become the top giants in England, and it is fully qualified to accommodate the god of Iro, and more importantly, Chelsea can give a transfer fee that meets the value of Ibramovic, maybe Ibramovic is happy, and he gave a record transfer fee by 'brushing', then it will be crooked!

So as soon as the club's press officer, Mercedes Youri, announced the start of the impromptu press conference, reporters from China were particularly attentive.

But Iroh's first words left them collectively discouraged, "Thank you so much for your interest in my future, but what I want you to know is... I came out of Valencia and as long as the club doesn't abandon me, then I'm going to stay here......"

Iello's speech at the press conference was indeed discouraged by many media outlets, especially those in China.

There will be sorrow, and there will naturally be joy.

The local Valencia journalists, led by Enrique Wien, are the representatives of Xi, who are basically Valencia fans, and it is natural that Ailo can announce that he will be in Valencia in the future, which naturally makes them very happy.

Although many reporters were a little disappointed when they heard Iro's statement, there was still hope for reporters with strong thinking expansion, because Iroh said that as long as the club did not abandon him, he would always stay in Valencia, but the problem is that Valencia is now in a deep financial crisis, and Iro, as the most valuable one in the team, also has the top treatment of the team, and the chance of a fire sale is greater.

The so-called sale of Iroh alone to preserve the foundation of Valencia.

It's not out of the question.

That night, in the two matches of the Champions League standard kick-off time, AC Milan was stubbornly drawn 2:2 at home by Bayern Munich, while PSV Eindhoven, who eliminated Arsenal to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League, showed their lack of European experience and tried to eat the mighty Liverpool at home, but lost a 0:3 at home, which basically made the second leg of the game lose suspense.

PSV Eindhoven's Chinese international Sun Xiang came off the bench in the second half, but he was only a defensive player and it was difficult to help the team when attacking, but the overall performance was still remarkable, and he did a good job of completing the defensive tasks assigned to him by head coach Koeman.

The next day, the second match day of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the atmosphere in Valencia was noticeably better than yesterday, and the atmosphere in the team was optimistic.

Flores looked at his happy squad and had high hopes for a win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

As the game approaches, the team does not train but simply plays a simple game of passing and receiving the ball on the training ground provided by Chelsea Football Club.

The reporter's eyes were vicious, and at a glance he could see that the atmosphere in the Valencia team was very different from last night.

It seems that the impact of yesterday on Valencia has disappeared in the impromptu press conference.

This is not a good thing for the media in England!

Valencia, a combative side, is a serious threat to Chelsea's path to promotion.

"Jose, restricting Ai's right-footed shot, will it really work?"

The players warmed up at Stamford Bridge, while Villas-Boas was discussing his final tactics with Jose Mourinho in the home dressing room.

Mourinho shook his head, he did not hide his most trusted assistant, "There is no perfect tactic, only the best player, what we can do is to limit his play as much as possible, not completely restrict, because this is completely not shown, for players of this level, we can only rely on the on-the-spot performance of our players..."

Players of this level?

Villas-Boas fell into a brief stupor, could it be that in Jose's eyes, this Chinese has become the world's top player?

"What about this game? Do you really have to put three back three at home? ”

Boas frowned and looked at Mourinho.

"No, it's our home stadium, a quick counter-attack to be exact!" Mourinho raised an eyebrow and said.

……

Thirty minutes of warm-up time passed quickly and the players from Chelsea's starting 11-man squad returned to the dressing room.

Everyone has a lot of respect for Mourinho, who is strong and pays attention to protecting his players, so after everyone returned to the dressing room, they didn't make too much noise, and kept a low profile to tidy up their equipment and image.

Five minutes passed, and all the players were ready, standing directly opposite Mourinho with a stern expression.

They all know that this game is very important, the second leg of the 1/8 finals is to underestimate the opponent, almost dragged into overtime, and also lost points in the league one after another, so before this game, the players did not dare to take a breath.

"Guys" Mourinho clapped his hands, and the players immediately turned their attention to it, "We have to win this game that is about to start, so I hope everyone will have a good attitude, and the targeted training in the past few days is also the time when it should be effective, so ......"

Mourinho habitually reminded the players of the importance of this game, and then began to explain the tactical play of playing the game later, after all, the offensive and defensive drills were almost done a few days ago, and the tactics only need to be deepened before the game.

……

Compared to the tense atmosphere in the home dressing room, the away dressing room is much more relaxed.

Flores didn't ask too much of the players, only told them to pay attention to defense.

Because in a knockout tournament like this, only good defense can guarantee that you will not be eliminated, so you need to avoid conceding goals and try to score away goals.

As for why only the players pay attention to defense, it is because Valencia's attack never needs to be worried, because with Elloh, the team's attack is always reassuring.

The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at Stamford Bridge was packed in the stands, with Champions League logos hanging all over the stadium, and most of the stadium was filled with blue shirt-clad home fans.

From the moment they stepped onto the pitch, the Valencia players were greeted at Stamford Bridge.

Earth-shattering boos resounded across Stamford Bridge.

Especially when Iroh's name was read on the radio, the boos were loudest.

So Iroh pursed his lips, turned his head to David Silva next to him and said unhappily, "David, do you think these guys are trying to beg for abuse again?" ”

David Silva looked up at the large poster hanging above the tunnel and said with a smile, "But the poster in the stands is quite creative. ”

It was a comic book version of the poster, with the blue lion stepping on Iroh in the number nine jersey.

"I'm going to make them cry later!"

Iroh clenched his fists and said.

"Hehe, I'll help you unconditionally, Ai!"

David Silva smiled as he gently hit Arlo in the ribs with his right elbow.

"Haha, I will too, Ai!"

That's what David Villa said.

"Good brother!" Iroh held a David in one hand and said happily.

……

After the Champions League theme song, handshake session, captain guessing the ball and other links, the game is about to start.

Iello stepped on the ball with his right foot, next to David Villa, and his eyes were on the Chelsea goal 55 yards away, as ...... That's his ultimate goal in this game!

goal!!!
