Chapter 255: Football and the feast of the National Day

******

Valencia ended a four-game winning streak but still topped the league with 13 league points, beating the entire La Liga, and Real Madrid and Barcelona picked up their results in this round, winning away games respectively.

Among them, Real Madrid defeated the home team Alaves 3:1 away, Barcelona narrowly beat Real Betis 2:1 away, and Ronaldinho, who had a bad game at home in the last round, surprised the speed of his return to form after the midweek Champions League.

Although Valencia did not win in the fifth round of La Liga 05-06, most people understood that after all, Valencia played their third game in nine days, and two of them were games that could not be missed, so it was normal for their form to slip in the last game against Real Sociedad.

Because Valencia is not a big club like Real Madrid and Barcelona, there are many players of similar strength, and looking at the entire bench of Valencia, there are few players who can stand alone.

After the game, Flores expressed his concern about the future of the team, and Valencia will likely play on three fronts in the coming period.

With the depth of the bench today, it will be difficult for him to cope with the second half of the season, because with Valencia's current form, there is basically no problem in qualifying for the knockout stages of this season's Champions League, so... And then comes the question.

Especially at the beginning of next year, La Liga, Copa del Rey, and UEFA Champions League are coming one after another.

If he is not careful, it is very likely that all three will be empty, which is not what he wants to see.

******

At this time, Enrique Wien of Valencia Sports also expressed his concern in his column, "Although Valencia has performed very well in the league and the Champions League group stage, have you noticed? On the bench of the team, there is basically no personnel to change, especially in the offensive line changes, very few, in this round of the home game against Real Sociedad, we can see a hint, the team's style of play is relatively simple, in the absence of Ai, the team relies on the traditional penetration of the middle has been difficult to open the situation, and then still rely on Vicente to find opportunities in the side breakthrough, in order to remain unbeaten at home......"

Of course, many people still think that Valencia's squad this season is still enough, after all, the team is not a team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, there is no need to make the team so luxurious, just like Liverpool, who won the Champions League last season, didn't they also rely on a limited squad to win the Champions League? So why can't Valencia?

Plus didn't they win the Reds Liverpool in this year's UEFA Super Cup?

Soon, Valencia fans all had a heated argument over this controversial issue, and later... Even the team's official website conducted an online survey on it, and 54.2% of the team supported the team's reinforcements in the winter transfer period, and the lead was not obvious.

Team President Soler faced an interview with reporters during this time, and his answers were also ambiguous, which made many fans very speechless.

In fact, it is no wonder that Soler, after all, his attention is now on the liquidated damages clause signed by Iroh for the new season, and he is now discussing with the general manager and sporting director of the club whether he should continue to modify the contract, but if the contract is revised again, then the treatment must be improved, so ...... Here's the problem.

If the contract is renewed again, then the contract period will naturally increase, and the treatment will be increased by several percent of the annual salary in accordance with international practice, which is not something that Soler can afford now.

Because his construction company is currently very tight on liquidity, and has encountered a little bit of problems in the construction of the new Mestalla stadium, the sponsor who had signed the contract suddenly reversed itself, and the follow-up funds were not in place, and the lack of funds meant that in the near future, the construction of the stadium will be stopped...

That's not a good sign.

In the end, Soler thought about it for a long time, but canceled the idea of renewing his contract with Iroh.

After all, the team still has four years left on his contract with Elloh, and he believes that when it is time to renew his contract, his company's problems will disappear, and then he can continue to start contract extension negotiations.

******

Although the local newspapers in Valencia are still reporting that the team needs to replenish the squad, everyone from the club officials to the team's manager is unaware of this question.

In addition, the sixth round of the 05-06 La Liga season is also coming, so these reports came in a hurry, but they were also in a hurry.

On the contrary, it was Valencia coach Flores who was the most exposed in the following period, because their next opponent was Flores' former club Getafe.

In the past, maybe this game would not have had such exposure, but now Valencia is high at the top of the La Liga standings, and it is natural that the attention it receives is directly proportional to the ranking.

In an interview with the Getafe Post in the satellite city of Getafe, Flores replied: "Getafe is where I really started my coaching career, and I will never forget it... It was the team that gave me the opportunity to get to where I am now... In any case, I know that I came out of Getafe, so... I'm going to let the world know that the people who come out of Getafe are the best......"

At that time, the reporters who heard Flores' high-profile response to the interview with the Getafe Post were very excited, isn't this a gesture of goodwill to the former owner? Could it be... Do you want to let a horse go?

But Flores' words then dispelled those thoughts.

"But... I'm the manager of Valencia now and to prove that the people who come out of Getafe are the best, I'm going to keep the team in the best shape in the next league and play my best! That's the only way... to be able to increase the influence of the Getafe club and at the same time ...... It also proves that Valencia is getting better and stronger under my tutelage, and I believe that after this season, we will still sit in this position......"

Everyone didn't expect that Flores, who used to be quite low-key, would also be high-profile, so the reporters were still stunned at that time.

And Flores took advantage of the stunned situation of the group of reporters and turned away.

******

The next day, the news about Valencia coach Flores flooded the whole of Spain, especially the newspaper Le Monde Sport, and it was very targeted.

"Valencia coach Enrique Flores announced in a very high-profile interview with this reporter yesterday that this season's title will be in Valencia's pocket, which is simply a serious insult to our great Barcelona and disrespectful to the capital's club......"

Immediately after that, the capital's newspapers "Marca" and "As" paid great attention to this and reprinted the report of World Sports on their official websites.

Suddenly, the whole of Spain knew that Flores announced in a high-profile manner that Valencia was going to win this season's La Liga championship when he was interviewed by reporters!

But at this time, Flores, as the person concerned, was unaware, he didn't know that these reporters were so unprofessional that they would modify the content of his answer privately.

While the whole of Spain is reporting on Flores, in China there is a buzz about where to travel during the National Day Golden Week.

At this time, the major foreign-related tourism companies in China can be said to be full, but this time it seems a bit abnormal, because in the past, Paris, Mallorca, Milan these tourist destinations have become unpopular choices, but in previous years, Valencia, Dortmund, Lyon, Amsterdam and other places with a lot of people have become the first choice for Chinese people to choose tourist places.

So as early as the end of the first match day of the 05-06 UEFA Champions League, domestic travel agencies began to make various promotions, such as "Your first choice for a National Day holiday is definitely Valencia!" Because you can not only admire the various orange trees from Valencia, but also the local plain monuments, and at the same time you can also enjoy the style of Ailo in La Liga up close, as a Chinese, do you still want to be moved? Tips: Register early! ”

Many fans who don't have a National Day travel plan have started to plan after seeing these promotions, because many times they see Iro's game on TV and in the newspapers, and it would be wonderful to be able to watch their idol play a game up close!

But there are so many Chinese with this idea, and ...... In the whole of China, there is no more, just a lot of people!

In the end, those talented netizens also gave an interesting topic for this National Day trip: "Football and the feast of the National Day"

I have to say that this name is very apt for this year's National Day.

Interestingly, many fans who already have a National Day travel plan have changed their original plans after seeing the flyers sent by the relevant travel agencies, and changed the travel location to a city with a European team played by Chinese players.

Valencia is the most popular destination, followed by Amsterdam and Borussia Dortmund...

Although several other places are a little cold, after all, this society relies on the head to eat, so it quickly found a solution and changed it to a variety of National Day Golden Week football skewer tourism plans.

In this way, it can be done to travel and watch the ball, and form a complementary complementary.

Domestic tourism companies, which were sluggish before, are becoming more and more prosperous as a result.

Of course, these young players who are abroad don't know about it.

So when they heard a burst of familiar Mandarin during the game, the passion in their hearts became uncontrollable, and they successfully turned these excited emotions into motivation, and their performance on the field was getting better and better.

But that's for later.
