Chapter 286: "Focus on La Liga"
******
None of the media expected that Flores would take such a voluntary initiative to take her own mistakes, so the topics that had been prepared before were no longer easy to ask questions.
After all, everyone has already taken the initiative to admit their mistakes, and there is no need to take out these to disgust Flores, otherwise it will give people the impression that they are forgiving and unforgiving.
As the saying goes, leave a line in everything, and you want to see it in the future.
These are old fritters who have been working as journalists for decades, how can they not know?
Finally, the routine post-match press conference ended in a hurry.
After all the group stages of the fourth round of the Champions League, Valencia lost at home to Porto, but there were two other upsets.
Chelsea lost 1-0 away to Scotland's Glasgow Rangers.
Manchester United also lost 0-1 to France's Lille.
And these three upsets also appeared on the headlines of the mainstream European newspapers the next day.
In particular, Valencia, who had won three consecutive victories before, lost to Porto with a score of 1:3 at home to Porto, which was almost out of the tournament early, a result that made everyone fall blind.
Naturally, it has become the 'highlight' news in the headlines.
After all, Chelsea and Manchester United are both playing away from home, and a small defeat is understandable.
******
"La Liga leaders Valencia have had a smooth start to the season without any setbacks, so they are no longer as good at the game, and this game is the best game for Porto since the start of European competition, so ...... They won the game and that's football! It's not that any team that is stronger will win, there is a Chinese saying that is very correct, God rewards hard work! ”
“…… Of course, coach Adrianse's pre-match weakness also played a crucial role, otherwise... This game won't be so easy to win. ”
An excerpt from the Champions League headlines from England's 442.
Subsequently, "442" also mentions Iro's table in this game.
“…… At the same time, we would also like to praise the Chinese Ai from Valencia, whose never-give-up spirit is one of the few bright spots in the entire Valencia team, and he also scored his sixth goal in the Champions League to continue to lead the scorer charts......"
"In this game, except for Ai and David Villa, who are normal, the other nine players seemed to be watching the game... In the back-to-back face of Quaresma, he cut inside from the right and played a perfect role as a spectator......"
This is a report from the French newspaper "Teams", and there is also an illustration of Aurelio and Ayala defending Quaresma, which shows the two of them using a very advanced skill - eye defense!
“…… Porto were able to claim a decisive victory in this crucial game, and they dominated the game thanks to their own efforts...... They also approached the game much better than Valencia, and the result happened to deal with the attitude of both sides, so ...... The match between Valencia and Porto gave us a good example......"
"Valencia Sport" here only briefly mentioned the reasons for the team's defeat, "The team's failure is not the responsibility of one person, after all, it is all a whole, plus football games are inherently won and lost, and the team cannot win all the time, besides...... Enrique Flores is also very right, it is better to lose at this time than to lose in a crucial game, and we still have two rounds of time to go, so as long as we face the next games well, we can still qualify......"
“…… From another angle, it can also be seen that Valencia has not calmed down its mentality after smooth sailing in the league, although there are very few teams in the world that can beat Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Camp Nou and the Bernabeu in succession, but it is not nothing! In addition, those two games were more like Ai's extraordinary performance, not the overall performance of the team, so we need to adjust our mentality, okay...... The next two international breaks give us plenty of time to sort out the predicament we are in at the moment. ”
******
In the first time of Valencia's loss, Juan Carlos from Le Monde Sports showed signs of a resurgence, and although he did not name him in this report, the characters he wanted to express were very obvious.
"Some people still see themselves as saviors, but ...... This time he was disappointed because his team lost! And it was a big loss at home, a big shame this time, a loss when everyone thought they should win, in fact, I said it a long time ago... He's a black sheep. ”
This is an excerpt from Juan Carlos' column in Le Monde Sport.
Although Juan Carlos's report did not cause a lot of sensation, it was still known to Iello.
The team just lost, and Iroh's mood was naturally not very good, and he didn't expect that at this time, someone would come to scold, so he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to vent.
With the help of the platform of "Valencia Sports Newspaper", he said, "Some 'mad dogs' always can't control their mouths, probably because they have been slapped by themselves and forgot what the current situation is, we are losing, but this is also our own business, what is the matter with 'mad dogs'?" Don't you know that the Valencian affair is a beast that cannot be discussed? ”
Ello's swearing, without swearing, immediately made Juan Carlos angry, but there was no way to vent it, so he slapped his face again and became fat.
Why use it again?
Hehe......
******
During the time when the media reported Valencia's home defeat, when the team gathered the next day, Flores gathered all the players for a brief meeting.
In this short meeting, the attitude of the players was very good.
It's not so much a meeting as a platform for self-confession.
Flores looked at the players in front of him who realized that there was a problem with their attitude towards the game, and felt relieved. This game was lost at a very good time.
So...... According to the current schedule, the league has five rounds to enter the winter break.
The start of the winter break will mean that the team will encounter a third-tier situation in the second half of the season, and it will also mean that the team enters a critical period.
And now at this time, there will be room for redemption if you lose, but if you lose a key game at a critical time, then there will be no room for recovery, and losing a key game will also mean losing a season's game!
Trading an 'inconsequential' Champions League group stage for a season is a great deal!
After the end of the 'self-confession platform', the team was disbanded in situ because the two international breaks in November were just around the corner.
But for the ten countries – Spain, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Switzerland, Slovakia, Norway, Bahrain, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Australia – it is no ordinary international break.
These two international breaks will directly determine whether these countries will qualify for the five World Cup tickets in Germany 2006.
******
For Iroh, the international break is the equivalent of a day to step up his training.
However, while strengthening his training, his agent Adrian brought him a piece of news, because Valencia has a number of Spanish internationals, this time Harlem Lee, the director of National Sports Channel 5 from the capital Madrid, took a fancy to Ayro, who did not have the task of playing for the national team, and wanted to invite him to participate in this episode of "Focus on La Liga".
This program has been running since June 1999 and is done once a week (live).
The influence in Spain as a whole can only be considered mediocre, but it is undeniable that the show still has considerable value, because it is a signal to the real Europe.
And "Focus on La Liga" has changed a very professional and beautiful anchor Sara Caponero this year.
Compared with watching an old man with a scumbag face commenting on the current show, wouldn't it be better to use a beautiful anchor with equal professionalism as the host?
So, since this year's intern Sara Carbonero hosted "La Liga Focus", the ratings of National Sports Channel 5 have been soaring.
"What show?" Iroh asked breathlessly as he stopped counting the '1864' sit-ups.
"It's a football show, almost the kind of question you ask me to answer...... Interested? ”
Arlo subconsciously replied, "I'm not interested......"
"But this show is currently very popular in Spain, and it also has a certain influence in Europe, and increasing your influence is also promoting," Adrian on the other end of the phone saw that Iroh had not reacted, so he continued, "I heard that the host of this show is a super beauty." ”
"And...... Your former team-mate David Silva will ...... too"
"What? Trouble repeating it......" Iroh seemed to hear a key word, and quickly interrupted Adrian's words.
"Your former team-mate David Silva will also be in ......"
"It's not this sentence, the previous sentence ......"
"This show is currently very popular in Spain, and it also has a certain influence in Europe, and increasing your influence is also promoting......"
"No, no, no, it seems to be the next sentence......"
"I heard that the host of this show is a super beauty?"
"yes, that's it...... I participated in this show! ”
“……”
******
On the 11th, the third day of the fourth round of the Champions League, Eloton Guò and David Silva were in advance and the two made an appointment to meet in front of the café opposite Sporting Nacional 5.
As soon as Iroh got out of the taxi, he saw David Silva leaning against the door wearing sunglasses and playing with his mobile phone from a long distance, and he didn't pay attention to the distance between the two, and shouted: "David! ”
When David Silva heard the familiar voice, he immediately heard the voice, and by the way, he also put his mobile phone in the trouser pocket of his jeans, and after seeing that it was Ielloh, he greeted him.
"Haha...... I haven't seen you for a few months, but I'm a lot stronger! ”
David Silva said as he punched Iroh in the chest.
"Does that have to be good? Otherwise, where will the capital come from to satisfy the majority of beautiful girls who lack love? Iroh raised his arms very generously, and then arched his biceps, "Envy isn't it?" ”
Just then, Ello's cell phone rang.
PS: Two precious monthly passes that are very indifferent! I don't know everyone, were you excited about last night's national football game?
