The next day.

Not surprisingly, Europe's mainstream media have taken Elo's "goal cramp" as the headline and started reporting on the upcoming second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

"Marca" also boldly predicted the result of the game on the headlines of the day, "Three days ago, Barcelona not only saluted the champion at the Calderón Stadium, but also gave up the Copa del Rey in the last four minutes, which is really generous, and it is really a tribute to the champion!"

There were no big surprises in this game, and despite the loss of Valencia Vicente, they also have an in-form Ai, and there is reason to believe that Valencia will beat Barcelona by two goals at their home stadium, as they did in the 23rd round of the league.

Interestingly, Ai was sarcastic about Barcelona in an interview yesterday, but what he said made a lot of sense, scoring 15 goals in five games against Barcelona, so he has his own money to show off, unlike some teams, which only insinuate ......"

When Van Bommel saw the news about Iro, he was angry, and on the day of the game, he made a bold statement in an interview with the media, "I don't know what that Chinese kid thinks, he dares to release such-, I will definitely make him unforgettable in tonight's game!" ”

Van Bommel's hostile words made the reporters excited again.

What was the most exciting thing about pre-game? Either there is a war of words between the coaches of both sides, or there is a battle between the players that smells of gunpowder, and Van Bommel's words are exactly in line with this rule.

Iello is now a big celebrity in Valencia, and Van Bommel dared to warn Ielo on Valencia turf, so soon, the hot-tempered Marchena and Baraja also gave their own statements in an interview with the media.

As the boss of the 'Seven Brothers', Marchena is naturally obligated to stand up for Aelo, "You must know that this is the Mestalla Stadium, if he really does this, I bet!" He will never be able to get out of Valencia!! ”

When Marchena finished speaking, the onlookers of Valencia cheered, and several fans who were good at it even clenched their fists and looked like they were eager to try.

Baraja also said of Van Bommel's words, "Some people are like this, they have been humiliated countless times on the football field, but they always hope to get revenge back, but the result is the same every time, insulting people is not insulting, but being humiliated......"

Although Baraha's words are not as direct as Marchena's, those with brains know that his words are even more difficult to accept.

Indeed, when Baraha's words reached Van Bommel's ears, the latter's neck turned red.

As the time of the game drew closer, in the first hours of the game, players from both sides once again took advantage of the mouths of idle eggs - sore media to engage in a war of words.

And the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.

In the end, even Barcelona coach Rijkaard and Valencia coach Flores joined in.

Rijkaard is well aware that his recent record against Valencia under Flores has not been ideal, so he spoke about it from a different angle: "Even if the score was played before this game, it was only a thing of the past, and now we are talking about the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, don't forget...... It was us who were 2:1 ahead of Valencia instead of Valencia 2:1 ahead of us, which can only be used as a reference in the past, but it can never change the result, and I have every reason to believe that it must be us Barcelona who will advance to the finals! ”

Flores was naturally upset when he heard Rijkaard's words, so he said, "The past can really be used as a reference, but the past can help us find confidence, 3:2, 4:2, 1:2 and then 3:2 in the Copa del Rey, we just lost the most inconsequential first leg, but we won two titles!" And... Boasting one of the best backlines in Europe, they have allowed Ai to score nine goals in four games alone, and I really don't know where their confidence comes from, so I want to ask...... Are Barcelona still confident that they can enter the Stade de France? ”

Flores's words immediately caused an uproar, if Rijkaard was insinuating sarcasm, then Flores's words were naked-naked!

Amid the cheers of the media that supported Valencia's promotion to the final, the local media in Catalonia protested loudly.

But who stands up for them at this time?

History...... It's all written for the winners!

*****

Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong led the shooting team to say goodbye to the Valencia players after having dinner with the entire Valencia team at noon on the day of the game.

They also ended a five-day follow-up interview.

Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong also knew how important this Champions League semi-final second leg was for both sides, not only the players spat on each other, but even the managers of both sides joined in.

They know that this may be the gap between Chinese and Western football cultures......

If the Chinese Super League can have this kind of atmosphere, why is the league not happy, and the national team is not strong?

However, thinking of the national team's degeneration from the level of a quasi-Asian first-class team under the coaching of Milou to the current second-rate team in Asia, if it continues like this, it is likely to become a third-rate team in Asia.

This is a great irony for a superpower of 1.3 billion people.

As the smell of gunpowder from the head coaches and players on both sides of the game became stronger and stronger, the fans of both sides also began a big war of words, which evolved into small-scale physical friction in the end, and finally almost led to a large-scale brawl.

Fortunately, the local riot police in Valencia reacted quickly and did not allow the incident to escalate further.

Although the incident outside the stadium was controlled, the fans on both sides in the stands did not relent, and when the players on the field were warming up, the fans on both sides in the stands began to curse each other in the air.

If it weren't for the riot police to isolate the fans on both sides, it is estimated that it would not be impossible for the fans of both sides to fight.

And the affection of the fans on both sides seems to have been driven to the stadium as well.

This atmosphere also indirectly interfered with the players on both sides of the pitch.

Less than five minutes into the game, the referee of the game, Italian Corina, showed two yellow cards to each side of the game, one to Edmilson and Aymar on the field, and one to Rijkaard and Flores on the field.

It can be seen from this that the smell of gunpowder in this game weighs heavily.

Iello was the biggest victim of the game, and the two yellow cards for Edmilson and Aymar and the two yellow cards for the managers off the pitch were all due to him.

At that time, Iello moved to the middle on the right side to get the ball, and two consecutive feints shook Van Bommel to the north, and finally used a very provocative crotch passing move past Van Bommel, but it was not over, when he completely passed Van Bommel and pulled the ball back with his left foot.

Van Bommel didn't think much about it at the time, just wanted to make up for his defensive mistakes, so he quickly caught up, but what he didn't expect was to be crotched again when he faced Ailo again.

It wasn't until this time that Van Bommel reacted that the other party was deliberately playing tricks on him!

But when he wanted to retaliate, Iroh had already run away, so he had to give up.

But Edmilson couldn't see it, and put a shovel directly from the side and back, shoveling Ielo to the ground.

At that time, if it hadn't been for Iroh's prediction to jump in advance, it is estimated that his ankles would have been scrapped.

Therefore, Edmilson's tackle on the side also received a yellow card from Collina, and Aimar tried to help Iroh find the field and was given a yellow card by Corina to calm down.

The coaches of both sides of the pitch also quarreled over Edmilson's tackle, and Collina, after being reminded by the fourth official, also ran to the sidelines and gave a yellow card warning to the managers of both sides.

Collina's behavior of giving both sides a big fifty board immediately became the target of attacks by the fans in the stadium.

UEFA President Johansson, who came to the scene to watch the game, also had to secretly sweat, fortunately, this game is Collina's law enforcement, if there is a referee, it is estimated that the players on both sides will not stop there!

*****

The smell of gunpowder in the first five minutes gradually calmed down under Collina's strict punishment, and the feelings between the two sides gradually calmed down.

Although there will be a little movement when the body is in contact, it is very good under Corina's preparation to judge, as long as the action is a little bigger, he will blow and stop, pull the fouling player, and educate him.

The game slowly entered the normal trajectory.

It's just that the fans in the stands still look at each other unpleasantly, especially the fans on both sides who are separated by the riot police to watch the game, and it is the most normal thing to insult each other.

On the other hand, it was a big game for both teams, with the hosts Valencia last reaching a Champions League final five years ago when they lost to Bayern Munich on penalties.

Barcelona are even more impressive, the last time they played in a Champions League final was 11 years ago, and that final is a memorable memory for them.

At that time, the Barcelona Dream Team, known as the strongest team of all time, lost 4-0 to AC Milan at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

So this match is even more important for Barcelona fans, this Barcelona team, known as the Dream II team, has gone from strength to strength under the leadership of Ronaldinho, the world footballer of the year.

Meanwhile, the other semi-final was between AC Milan and Arsenal.

With the quality of both teams, AC Milan will likely qualify for the final, so this game will be a crucial save, and they will hold back their strength to avenge the victory they made 11 years ago.

But to reach the final, they will need to win the second leg of this crucial semi-final against Valencia.

Therefore, this game is extremely important for both sides.

Playing the smell of gunpowder is the most direct way to express the importance of this game.

ps: Congratulations to Zhou Wei on the birthday of children's shoes, there will be three or four changes later, so stay tuned!
