Chapter 82: The Third Bullet of the Devil's Schedule
******
With the Devil's two wins in a row, Valencia's good fortune seems to have come, and two players with good quality, Aimar and Angulo, are ready to start training with the team.
The two of them warmed up under the guidance of strength and conditioning coach Olnes to feel how they felt about their bodies and see if there was anything they didn't feel comfortable with.
Needless to say, Aimar is not tall, but like the traditional Argentine man, he is fast, delicate and technical, and has a precise pass that can tear through the opposition defence.
However, his technical characteristics are somewhat similar to Elloh's, and it is estimated that after returning from injury, Elo's playing time will be compressed, just as Vicente's injury has compressed David Silva's playing time.
Angulo started his career with Valencia B and gradually began to play in Valencia, this season due to too many injuries, the number of appearances of the guide zhì has been drastically reduced, he can be qualified for the role of winger and midfielder, his return will directly strengthen Valencia's attacking force.
This is absolutely good news for Valencia!
However, this is not good news for Arlo and David Silva.
At the same time, Ranierik is now very troubled, happy trouble!
There is no doubt about Elo's scoring prowess, and in a few league games, he has scored more goals than Ferrer, the main centre-forward who has played all season. However, Aimar is a group of players with the team's top salaries, and in terms of cost, the extra minute of play for the high-paid players is to reduce the cost investment for the owner.
But now fortunately, Aimar has only returned from injury and has not yet trained with the ball, thinking of this, Ranieri is a little more comfortable, quickly shook his head, drove his chaotic thoughts out of his head, and studied Parma, the opponent of the UEFA Cup quarterfinals.
Optimistic by nature, Iroh didn't feel the slightest pressure, because he believed that even if Aimar returned from injury, he could get a starting position!
No coach wouldn't use a player with a steady goal scoring efficiency! Moreover, this efficiency is not low!!
After playing the league against Barcelona, the team still focused on training, and despite the two victories in the Devil's schedule, it did not let the players relax, because they kept thinking: watch the beautiful women run naked! Watch beautiful women running naked!!
It has to be said that sometimes women are very attractive to players with excess energy!
******
On the afternoon of the 9th, under the leadership of assistant coach Benetti, after only an hour of joint practice, the day's training ended.
After the training, there were many fans who came to Valencia's first-team training base, like Elo, who scored a hat-trick in the last game, naturally became the number one object for fans to ask for autographs and photos.
What Iroh didn't expect was that the money hadn't earned enough to count the hand cramps, but he had the first to sign in the hand cramps.
The fans who arrived were also very knowledgeable, and when they saw that Iroh was tired of signing autographs, they only asked for a group photo, and then let him go back to the locker room.
"Hey, Ai, do you have the treatment of being a star??"
As soon as he entered the locker room, he heard Navarro joke about him.
Iroh looked at Navarro while taking off his socks and waved his hand, "Hey, don't mention it... ”
"Jerk off?" Navarro was immediately stunned and asked rhetorically.
"What do you mean??"
The teammates who were slowly tidying up their clothes in the locker room were all very curious about the new word 'jerk off' that Elo said, and they all gathered around, looking at Elo who was about to take off his clothes and take a shower with a pair of pitiful and curious eyes.
"You really want to know?"
While nodding their heads one by one, they replied in unison, "Uh-huh-"
To this group of curious animals, Iroh began to explain, "As the name suggests, to shoot down the plane in the sky," and then changed his sitting position slightly, and continued to explain to his 'students', "Think about it, how hard it is to shoot down the plane in the sky, how hard it is!" So... You get the idea. ”
A few people heard Iroh's explanation, nodded, and muttered, "It makes sense!" ”
But there are also a few people who question, "No, that's called anti-aircraft guns!" ”
For this group of curious babies, of course Iroh didn't dare to explain to them the true meaning of 'jerking off', and he couldn't give them laughing to death when the time came? Although I haven't fought once since I came back from the crossing. Most of the time, I rely on my own cultivation and temperament to attract beautiful cuties, and then have a long talk all night, slowly analyzing the problem of how to coexist peacefully between the opposite sex.
After showering, drying his hair, tidying up his things, he was ready to ride his motorcycle back to his apartment to rest, and then go to relax in the evening, because Ranieri did not have his name on the starting list announced before the end of afternoon training.
However, at that time, the good old man Ranieri still explained why he was not given a start, because he played continuously away from home, in order to reasonably distribute physical energy, so he was put on the bench, which made Iroh's disappointment disappear.
As soon as he got into the motorcycle, he was surrounded by a swarm of reporters, with long guns and short guns pointed at Iroh's mouth.
"I heard that Real Madrid has made an offer to Valencia, would you like to join the Galaxy??"
'I'm a journalist for the BBC in England and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has praised you in public, do you have any ideas for joining the rubles?'
"Football Emperor Beckenbauer is very appreciative of your goalscoring ability, you know??"
・・・・
Messy questions, let Iroh be stunned when he listened, Real Madrid is interested in me? No kidding! I'm not going to play as a substitute in the bench!! Chelsea? It seems to be not bad, Mourinho, who likes to fight back, has an appetite for himself, but he can't apply for a labor certification, shaking his head, Bayern Munich?? A group of veteran players is an opportunity, but... There are many factions, and it's not easy to do it! Shaking his chaotic head, "I'm very happy in Valencia, I don't have the idea of leaving here, please let me, thank you!" ”
At the same time, he twisted the key on the motorcycle, coaxed a car sound, and made the nearest reporters retreat slightly, taking this 'opportunity' to release the brake hand, a throttle, and coax the old away.
Leaving behind the reporters who were eating cigarettes in the wind.

Parma also flew to Valencia in the afternoon, and in the pre-match press conference, Bardini looked full of fighting spirit and confidence in the away trip, telling the media, "We came to Valencia to win!" And to get a big win!! ”
Bardini's speech was naturally applauded by the Italian reporters who followed, and after a pause, he continued, "We are not like Valencia, we have been preparing for this game for a whole week, we are for this game!" So we have to win! ”
The words quickly reached Ranieri's ears on the other side, and he told reporters with a smile. "Oh? To beat us on our home turf?? Haha... However, I will not say anything, here I will only say, two words - welcome! ”
The team's captain, Barahaco, is a well-known player, but not as tactful as Ranieri said, saying in a very high-profile voice, "Oh? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard today, we played a 3-1 on our home turf and wanted to beat us on our home turf. What a joke!! ”
Before the game started, the two sides had a war of words over the 1/4 finals of the UEFA Cup, which made the news media happy, what are the reporters most afraid of? The most afraid is that there is no false head and no news!! There is a war of words between the two sides, they have content to write about, if they are all like Ranieri, they will wait to be laid off and drink the northwest!!
At the regular press conference before the game, when Bardini returned to the hotel, he was surrounded by reporters again, "The home team agrees that you are joking, what do you think of such remarks??" ”
Bardini was stunned by this reporter's question, and for a while there was really nothing to say, and at this moment, the captain of the team next to him, Mofeo, 'stepped forward', "Then we'll see you when the game comes!" See if we're kidding!! Don't be eliminated by us then, go home and cry to your mother, haha"
After Mofeo finished speaking, the reporters hurriedly gave him a close-up.

March 10th, the day of the competition.
The bus arrived on the periphery of the Mestalla stadium, and the Valencia players had not yet gotten off the bus and were blocked at the door by reporters, pointed at guns and cannons.
The heads are squeezing left and right, and they are looking for the hot young man whose feet have been hot lately.
In order to protect the players, Ranieri, who took the lead, did not go out, but waved at the security personnel on the perimeter of the stadium.
In a few moments, the stadium's security guards gathered in front of the bus, allowing the Valencia players to enter the stadium along the way.
When Iroh stepped out of the bus, countless reporters from well-known European media gathered around him, ready to interview him.
But he, like the rest of the team, wore headphones in twos and threes, and then followed the players in front of him into the stadium, waving his hand and ignoring the reporters who wanted to interview him.
"As soon as you became famous, you started playing big names??"
"Rude boy!"
"Don't think about scoring tonight!!"
The complaints of a few reporters, the headphones that were not loud were transmitted to his ears, and when he heard these words, he only frowned slightly, and did not stop.
Because he was not in high spirits today, although Ranieri's reasons were very good, but he began to perceive that this was a signal for him to start playing as a substitute and make way for the two big guys Aimar and Angullo!
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and said secretly, "Old man, you will know how important it is for the team that I fall to the ground!" ”
During the pre-game warm-up, Iroh did not warm up with the main players, but jogged with the substitutes, which made the commentators in the live broadcast room full of surprises.
"Could it be that he's hurt??"
But then someone retorted to him, "How can you warm up if you are injured??" ”
"Got into a conflict with the manager??"
"You're stupid!"
In the end, it was Valencia No. 1 Sports reporter Hyde who analyzed it most correctly, and he said to Mai: "According to the relevant news, when Iroh was training, his physical recovery was not very ideal, so he was allowed to play as a substitute in this game." ”
"Yes, this is very correct, because Ai has just turned 19 years old, and poor physical fitness is a common problem of young players, and he needs to take a good rest, otherwise he will be deformed due to poor physical fitness, and even serious injuries may occur! And as long as Valencia doesn't lose more than two goals in this game, it can still advance to the semi-finals! Soon Barry picked up Hyde's words and said the first thing.
