Chapter 945: The King of Aliens
The draw for the Champions League 1/4 finals has settled, and a few are happy and a few are sad.
Valencia's opponent is Tottenham, who made history and reached the quarter-finals, and they were the winners.
This team is very familiar, having played against Tottenham during his time at Chelsea, and Iroh has a certain relationship with Tottenham.
Juan Ramos, who led Sevilla to victory in the UEFA Cup, was beaten by Elo's Chelsea in an impressive first leg of the 2008-2009 Premier League season.
At that time, Tottenham led by two goals in the first half, and Mourinho decisively replaced Ailo, who had just participated in the men's football match at the Beijing Olympics, and scored five goals in a row, a super reversal, and accelerated the pace of the Spurs owner's sacking of Juan Ramos.
However, there is a big difference between Tottenham and Tottenham, and now the core is Gareth Bale, who used to play at left-back and was later converted into a winger by current manager Ryder Genep Sr.
It is worth mentioning that Tottenham Hotspur was able to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which has a lot to do with Gareth Bale, and the Dutch international Van der Vaart, who transferred to Tottenham from Real Madrid, also played a big role, and the defensive hardness was also okay.
So it's no coincidence that Tottenham have reached the quarter-finals.
If Valencia are a bit slack on Tottenham, it is not out of the question that they will be knocked out by Tottenham.
In the minds of Tottenham fans, Gareth Bale is the Aelo of their team, with a high degree of similarity in terms of speed and technical characteristics.
In time, it will become a great thing.
At the end of the international break, Valencia, who had been drawn a good draw, was satisfied, but Juan Mata and David Silva were both injured in the European Championship qualifiers for the Spanish national team, and according to the preliminary diagnosis, they are likely to miss half a month of play.
Injuries to Juan Mata and David Silva will have a huge impact on Valencia's attack, especially David Silva, whose playmaking and dribbling have often been key to Valencia's victory.
In order to influence Valencia's morale, the Catalan media paid the Daily Sport newspaper to deliberately aggravate the injuries of David Silva and Mata.
The injuries of the two have been fermented by the media, which has affected many Valencia players.
If this impact continues, it will most likely affect Valencia's next league and Champions League quarter-finals.
However, the captain of the returning team, Iro, stabilized the morale of the army in an interview with reporters: "The FIFA virus is like a common occurrence for professional football clubs, but this time it has spread to our Valencia, but I want to say ...... The absence of David and Juan will have some impact on the team, but don't forget...... And I'm here! β
To discourage the reporters with ulterior motives, Iroh added: "Until they return to the team." β
At this time, almost all the reporters present, except for the local media in Valencia and the Chinese media, were suspicious of Ailo's remarks.
It's only because Iroh did what he said in the past that no reporter stupidly stood up and was slapped in the face by Iro.
Later, manager Carlo Ancelotti also spoke to reporters about the team's injuries: "Injuries are inevitable, but we can do our best, as Ai said. β

Against this backdrop, Valencia began their league trip on 3 April when they visited the Estadio Alfonso PΓ©rez to take on Madrid's satellite city side Getafe.
With the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur set to begin in midweek, Carlo Ancelotti did not field the strongest line-up, instead starting the trident of Elo, David Villa and Edinson Cavani.
Despite this, Valencia still thrashed Getafe 5-1 away from home, with Airo netting a hat-trick.
After Aillo's hat-trick, his tally was also 46, meaning he equalled the tally of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi with six games less.
It's an incredible efficiency.
In fact, long before Valencia played Getafe away, there was media speculation that Ailo would tie the number of goals in the first game of this round, because Getafe's grade is not high, and it can be said that it is relatively at the bottom of La Liga.
But then again, guesswork is guesswork, and you'll be surprised when it comes to fruition.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who only played the game the following evening, both expressed their surprise on their respective tweets.
Unfortunately, they quickly deleted the tweet.
The next day, the whole Valencia team flew back to Valencia from Madrid to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Tottenham.
In the evening of the same day, Barcelona visited the Love Song Stadium to challenge Villarreal.
Because Barcelona's opponent Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League quarterfinals is not strong, it is already their greatest effort to enter the quarterfinals, and they want to go further and are almost infinitely close to zero.
Therefore, Barcelona has a lot of room for adjustment in the league against Villarreal, and they beat the greatly reduced Villarreal 3-1 away with almost all the main players.
Among them, Messi scored the opening goal, one goal more than Iro.
In the later match against Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and showed his excellent form before the start of the Champions League quarter-finals.
As a result, the ranking of La Liga's scorers has changed, with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the list with 48 goals, followed by Messi with a goal difference, and Ailo is third with 46 goals.
The European mainstream media is now immune to Elo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and it seems quite normal to score 40 goals in a single season.
But if one of the three of them doesn't score more than 40 goals in a single season next season, there will certainly be a lot of media that think his form has seriously declined.
In this regard, Torino Sports Newspaper described the difference between the star and Iro, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi: "Please don't associate earthlings with aliens! β
Although this is just a joke, many fans think that the description of "Torino Sport" is very apt and fully in line with the current situation in world football.
Of course, there is also a theory that in the alien group, Iroh is the supreme king of aliens.
It is worth mentioning that in the past, the Brazilian superstar Ronaldo was called an alien, but in the current situation, basically no one is saying that Ronaldo is an alien.
Even Ronaldo, who returned to Brazil to retire, faced it calmly in an interview with reporters: "No, no, no, I just look like an alien on earth, and Ai, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are real aliens." β

After the league ended, all three teams of the Western Super Group focused on the next Champions League quarter-finals.
With the exception of a few media outlets that have analysed Ayro, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, most of the media have focused on the four Champions League quarter-finals.
The two matches on the first matchday of the Champions League quarter-finals were Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk and Bayern Munich vs Arsenal, with Bayern Munich vs Arsenal receiving the most attention in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Because both teams are the top giants in Europe!
Although Barcelona are also the top giants in Europe, their opponents are not enough.
Many media are shaking their heads again and again when talking about the Champions League quarterfinals between Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, which is basically a one-sided situation.
The result was the same, with Barcelona beating Shakhtar Donesque by five goals at home, with Lionel Messi scoring a hat-trick to take his single-season Champions League tally to 12, one and two ahead of Iroh and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The other Champions League quarter-final at the Allianz Arena was a stalemate, with Bayern Munich narrowly beating Arsenal 2-1 after 90 minutes.
At the end of the game, Messi, who scored a hat-trick at Camp Nou, was named the best of the match.
The next day, the media led by Catalonia praised Messi's outstanding performance, and the headline of "Le Monde" said: "Although Barcelona lost the opportunity in the league title, they have found their strongest self in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and if nothing else, Barcelona will reach the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons......"
"Daily Sport" also said: "Compared with the league championship of La Liga, it is obviously the European Champions Cup championship is more important, and Barcelona is moving in this direction, constantly striving for their goals, and the performance of the number one star Messi also proves this, if the game goes well, Barcelona will or win the club's third Champions League title!" β
However, it is only the local media in Catalonia who say that Barcelona won the Champions League this season.
Because many media eyes are only on the Champions League 1/4 finals, and even the promotion to the semi-finals has not been figured out, want to determine the Champions League champion this season?
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
Compared to the Catalan media, who believe that Barcelona will win the Champions League this season, most media still believe that Valencia, where Iello is located, will win the Champions League.
Look at the 2006-2007 season, the 2007-2008 season, the 2008-2009 season......
Had it not been for the serious injury suffered in the 2009-2010 season, his Chelsea side would have been the fourth team to win the Champions League in three consecutive seasons, following Real Madrid, Ajax and Bayern Munich.
Straight to the point.
The end of the first matchday of the Champions League quarter-finals also means that the second matchday of the Champions League quarter-finals is approaching.
The remaining two Champions League quarter-finals are a bit strong and weak, and there is no thrill of Bayern Munich's home game against Arsenal.
But when it comes to the origins, it is the second matchday of the Champions League quarter-finals that is more interesting - Raul, the former Lord of the Rings at the Bernabeu, will be visiting the Bernabeu as an enemy in his first season after leaving Real Madrid......
