Chapter 275 - Ratio of Goals
******
Although it is very enthusiastic in China, most of the newspapers in Spain use a small section to mention it without going into details, because the European Golden Boy Award of Torino Sport has not been recognized by the public.
Of course, the most important reason is that there is little hope of the Spanish young player winning the award this time.
And "Valencia Sport" praised it a lot, after all, Ailo is now a big star in Valencia, leading the La Liga scorer list at a young age.
It is also well-known in the whole of European football at the moment.
Along with Torino Sport's 40-man squad for the European Golden Boy Award, there was also a shortlist for the European Ballon d'Or, and Iroh could have been nominated for this award, but was excluded from the squad because he did not play in the first half of the 04-05 season.
At this time...... For the local media in Valencia who got the grapevine, the European Golden Ball Award is much higher than the European Golden Boy Award, so it is natural to find the organizer of the European Golden Ball Award "French Football", but later "French Football" gave everyone a satisfactory reply: "He did not participate in a full season ......"
Although this answer cannot suppress these media, it also leaves these media with nothing to say, to tell the truth...... Iro's current watch is indeed stunning, but who can be sure that it is not a fleeting moment? So I didn't continue to make trouble.
Instead, the focus is back on the 10th round of the league that will be played next.
The first is Real Madrid's away challenge to Real Betis, this game Real Madrid is missing Zidane, Beckham, Baptista and Ronaldo, and I don't know if it is because of the shadow of Real Madrid's winless past three rounds, but let them play their due strength, away with two goals.
A day later, Valencia also welcomed their opponents at home, Racing Santander.
Although Flores made some changes to the squad in preparation for the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of next week, with a pass and a shot from Aillo, the team beat the opponent 2-1 at home, and continued to top the standings with 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 25 points.
******
After this league game, Valencia will focus on the group stage of the third round of the UEFA Champions League, and they will continue their away trip to the Champions League to take on the 03-04 UEFA Champions League champions Porto.
This is a traditional Portuguese giant.
The Portuguese Serie A won the competition for two consecutive years when it was first created, but with the rise of Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, the former glory was gone, and it was not until the late eighties that it re-emerged to regain its long-lost dominance.
However, they still have won fewer titles in the domestic league than Benfica, but they are a little better than Benfica in European competitions, of course...... Both teams have won the UEFA Champions League, Europe's top competition, the same number of titles, but in the UEFA Cup, Porto have won more titles than Benfica.
Porto's greatest glory came under Jose Mourinho, who won the UEFA Champions League in 03-04 after the historic UEFA Cup in 02-03.
However, with Jose Mourinho's departure from Stamford Bridge and a number of key players gone, the traditional Portuguese club is no longer the iron-clad team that has terrified the entire European football scene.
But no one has ever dared to doubt the quality of this team.
Even if it was a big change after Mourinho left.
As the famous 'European black shop' in later generations, they always have a keen eye on the selection of South American players, and they can often buy them out at a very cheap price and sell them at a high price after a few seasons of training.
Such...... They can make a lot of money without having much impact on their grades.
And before the start of last season, they spent 8 million euros to buy Diego, one of the famous 'Santos Stars', from Santos, and not long after, Quaresma, one of the former "Sporting Lisbon Stars", from Barcelona.
From these two deals, it can be seen that the former UEFA Champions League champion is still ambitious.
And these two also lived up to expectations, and in the 04-05 season, they also quickly helped Porto get out of the quagmire, won the league runner-up, and kept the hope of entering the Champions League.
After the tempering of the two last season, Porto's performance this season is even more amazing, the Portuguese Super League has reached the ninth round, the two have made great contributions, helping to win eight games and draw one in nine games, accumulating 25 points to the top of the table, which shows how much the two have helped Porto's recovery.
The battle between the two teams is imminent, and the players on both sides are naturally used by those idle reporters to compare.
David Villa, who joined Valencia this season, and Elo, who impressed in 2005, naturally compared them to the likes of Diego and Quaresma in Porto.
Add to this the national history of the two clubs, and the comparison of the players themselves is even more essential.
Everyone knows that Spain is much better than the Portuguese team in terms of clubs, but when it comes to the individual talent of the players, Portugal is much better than Spain, not to mention Eusebio in the last century, just like the previous Figo and the new generation of Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, in terms of personal fame is much better than Spain.
Therefore, there has always been a phenomenon of comparison between the two countries.
After comparing the national team results, it is natural to compare in terms of clubs, Porto is not as good as Real Madrid and Barcelona, is it not as good as Valencia? So...... Now comes the problem.
In the minds of the Spanish media, of course, Valencia is stronger, but the Portuguese journalists are not far behind, and in their minds, of course, Porto is the strongest.
Thereupon...... Before the game even began, the media on both sides engaged in a war of words over the teams they supported.
What can a war of words between media outlets mean for so many readers? Therefore, these media are also very aware of current affairs, and quickly turned their attention to the focus players of both sides.
For example, Aimar and Diego, who are also in the midfield position, the latter is inferior to the former in terms of seniority and experience, so most of the Portuguese media have focused on Ailo and Quaresma, who are also wingers.
That's it...... Whether it's experience, qualifications, or fame...... It can be said that he killed Airo directly.
So these vicious-eyed media all focused on these two people at once.
Because neither of them is good, and Iello is known throughout Spain for his outrageous words, but he often delivers on them, and Quaresma has always been a headache for coaches and the media alike.
Just as the media found Adriano in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League, these reporters were the first to find the unruly Quaresma.
At the end of the day, Quaresma was surrounded by the media, "What do you think of the Champions League in midweek?" ”
Quaresma's answer did not come as a surprise to the seasoned journalists: "Do you need to ask?" The winner is definitely our great Porto! ”
Great Porto? Quaresma's reporters almost couldn't hold back their laughter, especially the reporters of Le Monde Sport, who clearly remembered Quaresma's move to Barcelona in 2003.
"Barcelona is a great club, I've been a fan of it since I was a kid......"
Then the reporter said, "But...... There is a kid in Valencia who said in an interview with me that it will be them Valencia who will win, may I ask ...... What do you think? ”
"So...... He's sure to be disappointed! ”
Quaresma looked at the reporter and said lightly.
The boy of Valencia? The only person who can use such a professional term is Airo in Valencia.
Except for this reporter, they are all slightly puzzled, why do they want to separate Quaresma and Iro? Subsequently...... Everyone looked at this reporter and was relieved.
It turned out to be Juan Carlos, the 'Black Ai Pro'!
So these reporters don't bother to say anything, anyway, it's not a bad thing to provoke contradictions between the players on both sides, because of the contradictions, the next hot news will come in clusters......
Well?
Juan Carlos was surprised by Quaresma's answer, and he was ready to add another fire, "That's right...... He also seems to have said that this game will score more goals than you at the Dragons Stadium......"
"What?" Quaresma subconsciously raised his head, "More goals than me at the Dragons?" ”
Juan Carlos immediately nodded his head.
Suddenly, Quaresma was furious, clenched his fists, and faced the hideous, "That's right...... Who is that person you are talking about? ”
Juan Carlos immediately took out a newspaper with the headlines after the key battle in the seventh round of La Liga, and Quaresma subconsciously asked: "Is this ...... Who's this little kid? ”
Then Quaresma realized that he seemed to have lost his words, and then he said, "Hmph! How dare a child with no hair grow up in front of the great Porto? Then he grinned mysteriously, "Hey...... I must have scored more goals than him! ”
But...... The journalists' minds were long since taken their minds off what Quaresma said later.
******
All the Valencia players gathered at Valencia International Airport after a day of training at the training base, with a simple shower, but ...... They were surrounded by reporters in the departure hall.
The first to stand in front of Iroh was his old acquaintance, Enrique Vain, "Ai, you're being underestimated again......"
"Huh?" Iroh was subconsciously stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Enrique Vane handed the newspaper to Iroh with a very prominent headline, "This little brat...... Who is it? "The picture next to it is the same background image from the away win over Real Madrid.
No way
Don't you know that there is an extra Real Madrid Basak star in this world?
Then he saw and said, 'This little brat...... Who's the master too.
You've been from Barcelona!!
Seeing the back, Iroh became more and more angry, but he was not stupid, and he didn't say anything powerful, just said lightly, "How many goals are scored?" I love this!! Hey hey ......"
Immediately, it caused an uproar among reporters!
Right!
That's what a powerful answer!!
The first time I've seen someone betting on a goal!!
Hahahaha......
Hearing this, Enrique Vane shook his head regretfully, he just wanted to arouse Iroh's fighting spirit, but he didn't expect it to be ...... Iroh didn't even control his mouth!
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!
