Valencia have finished their league game with Villarreal at the Mestalla Stadium and three days later, in midweek, they face the first leg of this season's Champions League quarter-finals!

The same opponent, but unlike last weekend's game, this game was moved to Villarreal's home stadium - the Stadio de la Love Song!

With the knockout round of the Champions League 1/4 finals approaching, the conspiracy against Valencia that was still boiling last week is no longer followed by many media reports, and the so-called fast disappears quickly!

However, this did not make Valencia manager Flores feel relaxed, on the contrary, he felt that the analysis of these media was very reasonable, so he held a meeting of the whole team before this UEFA Champions League quarter-final.

Under one of Elo's speeches, all the players were full of confidence for the next game!

The phrase "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile!" The words made the team members present instantly full of strength!

Just after everyone put the pressure of the game down, Valencia began to suffer from injuries!

First of all, at the end of the second day of training with Villarreal, captain Canizares accidentally dislocated his tail finger during the warm-up and will be out for half a month.

Then during the tactical drill that afternoon, the Brazilian international Edu, who had just returned to the game, was also injured again, with a thigh muscle strain, and under the preliminary diagnosis of the team doctor Hernandez, he will be out for at least three weeks!

Many things that were originally planned were forced to change.

It is also unknown whether the long-time bench keeper Moura will be able to find the feeling of the game, considering that he has only played less than five games this season, so ...... Hardly!

And Edu's injury has also left Valencia with one less good rotation player in defense!

Fortunately, no other main force was injured again!

However, in order to keep the team's preparation unaffected, Flores issued a gag order to the players.

But where in the world is there an impermeable wall?

Valencia suddenly lost two big players before the Champions League quarter-finals, can it not be noticed?

"World Sports", which previously created pressure for Valencia, broke the news at the first time, "In a warm-up training session yesterday morning, Valencia's captain Canizares dislocated his tail finger in a warm-up and will be out for at least two weeks, and in the afternoon training, the team's other big player Edu was also out for at least three weeks because of a thigh muscle strain!" All of them expected Valencia to be in the quarter-finals of the next UEFA Champions League......"

As a result, many fans who care about Valencia have expressed their concerns.

Enrique Wien also talked about his worries in his own column in the Valencia Sports newspaper the next day, "The sudden injury forced the team's plan to change, and with only the last 1/3 of the season left, it was also a test of the team's physical fitness, but at this time, it happened to suffer an injury, which was undoubtedly a serious blow to the team!" But...... We still hope that everyone will keep their hope in the team, because we still have Ai! He is our hope, just like the 'Ai Song', scoring one goal after another, leading the team to keep moving forward......"

While some people still have faith in Valencia, there are also many who remain skeptical.

Because of Valencia's good results recently, in addition to Aillo's excellent performance, the credit of Canizares as a goalkeeper should not be underestimated.

He doesn't look like he's 37 years old, he's as vigorous as he was in his early thirties!

But now the team is going to lose a main goalkeeper who is in such good form for half a month!

In other words, in the two-legged Champions League quarter-finals, Canizares will all sit in the stands......

Considering his age, even if he recovers, will he return to the moment of being in good shape?

So there's a big question mark on that.

Therefore, Flores began to help the team find the future main goalkeeper before the rainy day!

Because the number two goalkeeper Mora and the number three goalkeeper Bitler in the team are not reassuring.

Do you want to buy it from outside?

But...... The transfer window has long been closed, what a hassle!

*****

After Ailo saw the news, he was a little unhappy at first because of the captain's injury, but then his eyes lit up!

Canizares is 37 years old this year, which means that he doesn't have many peak moments!

So...... The team will have to find a new main goalkeeper!

And Arlo happens to have a perfect candidate in his heart!

That is Wang Xiaolei, who performed well in the U17 World Youth Championships in Peru last year! Maybe many people don't know his strength now, but Iro, who is a person who has come over, does!

Definitely a core level goalkeeper!

There is a qiē su zhì that has become the world's top level!

Reaction speed, bounce power, anticipation, anti-high-altitude balls! And the most important thing is to have the ability to play a long ball with precision and throw the ball with your hands!

So, Iroh is ready to recommend it to Flores.

You must know that Wang Xiaolei in his previous life had a very high talent, and even the youth director of Inter Milan praised him, but later because Inter's goalkeeper reached the ceiling and domestic obstacles did not go abroad.

Ailo doesn't want Wang Xiaolei to continue to sink in the country, and Valencia also has a top goalkeeper Canizares, and no one is worried about it?

But considering that the Champions League knockout match against Villarreal is two days away, the matter will be discussed later.

*****

In midweek, Arsenal host Juventus and Inter Milan host Barcelona.

Arsenal, who played at home, won the game with a score of 2:0, and at the same time, Juventus sent off two players, laying a good foundation for the team to advance to the semi-finals!

The match between Inter Milan and Barcelona was quite dull, and Inter Milan, who was fighting at home, showed their housekeeping skills and defended with all their might! And Barcelona didn't have a good way to face Inter Milan who were defending with all their might, so at the end of 90 minutes, the score between the two sides was still 0:0, and they exchanged blanks!

The next day, Europe's mainstream media reported on former captain Patrick Vieira, who had returned to Wembley, but was booed by the home fans and his successor, Cesc Fabregas, put on a stunning game.

Because Arsenal's first goal was Cesc Fabregas stealing the football at Vieira's feet and directly assisting Henry to score!

Then he talked about the two red cards from Juventus, and it is estimated that the second leg will not be a big problem for Arsenal.

The match between Inter Milan and Barcelona is directly based on a headline: Degenerate football!

Of course, the day also talked about the other two Champions League quarter-finals to be played that night.

"Milan Sports Newspaper" said, "In this crucial Champions League 1/4 knockout match, Valencia injured two big players in a row, one of which is still the main goalkeeper and captain!" Although Valencia has dominated the past two seasons, this is a Champions League-level competition after all! More important than the league, compared to Valencia's injuries, Villarreal's squad is quite complete, and the overall combat effectiveness is not lost to Valencia...... The game is still full of suspense. ”

"Marca" also talked about the match between Valencia and Villarreal in the Champions League column on the same day, "The front three of Ai, David Villa and Vicente have been invincible in La Liga in the past, but the central axis of the midfield composed of Senna, Riquelme and Diego Forlan also gives them their own confidence, plus Canizares was injured before this game, making the result of this game a bit confusing......"

It was originally a game with no suspense, but it was said by the media that it was a game full of suspense, so when Iroh saw the strange reports, he was drunk......

At a critical time, it is natural that the "World Sports" report cannot be missing.

They first expressed their regret that Barcelona were drawn by Inter Milan away from home, and then talked about Valencia's game, but I don't know if this script was written by Juan Carlos, the text says, "Caniseres' dislocated truce will directly reduce the combat effectiveness of Valencia's backline, don't forget...... In the past two seasons, Canizares's table is very solid, so in the special position of goalkeeper, there is rarely rotation, so the opportunity to play as a substitute goalkeeper is always pitiful, so this game is very demanding for their form, whether it is Mora or Bitler, it will be a severe test in the upcoming Champions League 1/4 knockout match against Villarreal......"

In the end, even Valencia's own fans have to worry about the team they support, and under the influence of so many media, the confidence is becoming less and less, which is the so-called concern chaos.

Although many media have expressed their views on the upcoming Champions League 1/4 knockout round, they have also re-evaluated this game.

But Iroh's confidence in this game is as high as ever!

Even if there are thousands of troops, one of them is enough!

Ahead of this crucial Champions League quarter-final, players on both sides were very strict with the game, and neither of them spoke sensitively in media interviews before the game.

In fact, Villarreal, who played at home in this game, was just trying to clean up his ears, after all, he had eaten three eggs at the Mestalla Stadium four days ago, which was an unacceptable result.

As the parties involved in that game, they naturally knew the gold content of that game.

It's not as breezy as manager Manuel Pellegrini suggests.

Valencia this season is much stronger than it was last season, both in attack and defence, it is very good, otherwise it would not be possible to break through Valencia's goal with Senna, Riquelme and Diego Forlan, the central axis of the midfield?

Therefore, before preparing for this game, Villarreal Club specially held an event, that is, the 1/4 finals of the Champions League are half-priced, and strive to fill all the stadiums with a capacity of 22,000 people, creating a terrifying home atmosphere.
