Chapter 1101 Still Strong
In the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw, the world's number one super death group appeared, leading many industry insiders to conclude that Valencia, which dominated La Liga and Europe in the previous three seasons, is likely to lose its original status this season.
Because Valencia wants to stand out in the super death group, it must devote 100% concentration.
But putting more focus in the Champions League group stage means that the league will be distracted, and the current La Liga is very different from the previous three-party hegemony. Atletico Madrid led by Diego Simeone gradually showed its due fangs.
Maybe Atletico Madrid can't launch a strong impact on the league title, but it will definitely disrupt the original pattern of the league and lead to more chaos in La Liga in the new season.
Once the above situation occurs, the mentality of the players in the Valencia team will change, and they will begin to doubt whether they can continue to lead La Liga and Europe. When the time comes to fight on the second or even third fronts, their attention will be more scattered, resulting in the loss of a certain laurels.
Even Valencia coach Ancelotti is hesitating whether he should selectively ignore the domestic league and cup competitions at that time, because in the eyes of wealthy clubs, the Champions League will always be ranked first.
But before that, Valencia still has a UEFA Super Cup match.
也就是在2013-2014赛季欧冠小组抽签结束的第二天,安切洛蒂、艾洛和王小雷等人乘上飞往捷克布拉格的航班,他们将会在31号的晚上八点45分跟2012-2013赛季的欧联杯冠军切尔西于伊甸园体育场踢一场欧洲超级杯。
It is worth mentioning that this year's European King of Kings competition is the first European Super Cup not held at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco since 1998.
In addition, this game is also the second meeting with Valencia after the former Real Madrid coach Mourinho returned to Chelsea.
As we all know, the reason why Mourinho left Real Madrid was due to the deadlocked relationship with Casillas and Cristiano Ronaldo, the bosses of the two major factions in the club's locker room, and he had no choice but to leave Real Madrid.
But the actual reason is that Valencia's performance is too strong. Whether it is the thriving Barcelona or Real Madrid, which has been transformed into a super counterattack by Mourinho, there is no way to compete with them.
Therefore, the reason why Mourinho left Real Madrid is attributed to Valencia, and Valencia's performance is so strong, it is inseparable from the super performance of their captain Aiello.
Therefore, some media with ulterior motives claimed that it was Aiello who caused Mourinho to dismiss get out of class at Real Madrid and wanted to sow discord.
Therefore, while questioning the fairness of UEFA's draw, there is a lot of media attention to the European Super Cup at the Eden Stadium.
※※※
There is no doubt that the key players in this game are the returning Chelsea coach Mourinho and former Chelsea player Aiello, who is now the captain of Valencia.
Aiello is a very special existence for Chelsea fans. His joining has helped Chelsea transform from a first-class team to a top team. He even won the championships in various competitions in the 2007-2008 season and 2008-2009 season, creating a new history for the club.
This also caused Chelsea players to have difficulty choosing in this European Super Cup. For such a player who has made great contributions, they really have no reason to boo, but it is even more inappropriate to cheer and cheer during the game, so...
But after the start of the game, Chelsea fans didn't worry about it, because Valencia is still so strong. Mourinho, who returned to Chelsea, has just taken charge of the team. In addition, many core players have just been bought, and it will take a certain amount of time to run in. The initiative of the game is entirely at the feet of Valencia.
It is still a familiar feeling. Mourinho is very speechless, but also has no choice. Facing such a powerful Valencia team, he can only choose passive defense and love to put the bus in front of the goal.
As the saying goes, one hundred secrets and one sparse, Chelsea's dispatch is to put a bus in front of the goal, but in fact it is not really a bus in front of the goal.
Aiello, Chelsea's all-time superhero, opened the scoring for Valencia in the second half, taking advantage of a direct free-kick past Petr Cech before adding to Isco, who came off the bench with Chelsea's mental assist for a quick equalizer.
And this score is also the final score. Valencia beat Chelsea 2-0 and once again became the king of Europe.
※※※
In fact, no one was surprised that Valencia defeated Chelsea. After all, Valencia's overall strength lies there. With Aiello, they seem to have a nuclear deterrent, making Chelsea hard to defend. In addition, this Chelsea is a rebuilding Chelsea. It still needs a certain amount of time to run in, so the result of the game has become a matter of course.
Winning the European Super Cup did not make Ancelotti happy, because the Champions League group draw gave him a headache. Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Naples in the same group were not good.
Every team has the strength to become the league champion in their respective leagues, especially Paris Saint-Germain, who has returned strongly. With a lot of money, they can call the shots in the transfer market and buy the players they want.
In addition, the Spanish national derby in the first half of this season happened just after the crucial UEFA Champions League group stage. If there is a significant gap in the strength of the teams in the same group, it can be properly distracted.
Coupled with some bold speculations by some football industry insiders, Ancelotti became more and more worried.
Because Valencia has been so successful in recent years, Ancelotti is worried that the decline in performance this season will cause a lot of media bombardment.
However... as time passed, Ancelotti found that his worries were unnecessary.
Captain Aiello's performance is still amazing. Coupled with the fact that young players can effectively motivate Mesozoic players, the team atmosphere is extremely good. Therefore, Valencia directly won a wave of ten consecutive victories in the league, accumulating [-] points, ranking first in the league and leading second Barcelona by [-] points.
The UEFA Champions League group stage, which is considered to be a very bumpy road to advancement, has won four consecutive victories, qualified ahead of schedule, and even won the first place in the group ahead of schedule.
This result was unexpected by many media. The strong Valencia also made the three major European bookmakers have to adjust their odds again, readjusting Valencia's winning odds in various seasons and becoming the number one.
