As Iroh received the team's top salary, his status in the team skyrocketed, and fans holding Iroh's posters often appeared at the training base to cheer him on.

Now that Iro's 'business' is on the right track, he no longer needs to save money, so he gave the motorcycle he had driven for two years to Uncle Lucas, who was the janitor, and he customized a supercar Koenigsegg for 100,000 euros for this year.

Originally, he didn't need to buy a car, because the main sponsor of Valencia is Toyota, according to the sponsorship regulations of both parties, Toyota needs to provide a car to the players on the team every year, but Iroh doesn't like Japanese cars, so he directly sent the top Toyota SUV to his home before the new season to his personal legal counsel Tan Xi.

Of course, this is not for free, but as a year's salary.

Iroh can also be regarded as making the best use of things, bringing out the spirit of Grandet to the extreme.

The team is now in the stage of recovering from injuries except for Vicente, which is basically a full staff.

Of course, the team is still looking to buy Real Betis' main winger Joaquin, but Real Betis seems to have no fear and is not in a hurry to sell, and they are now eyeing Joaquín as the whole of Spain knows.

So at this time, Barcelona, who were robbed of the league title and the Copa del Rey by Valencia last season, inserted a leg at this time.

While Valencia was biting on an offer of 20 million euros, Barcelona was quoting 22 million euros.

In order to get the super winger Joaquín, who had eaten a lot in Spain, Valencia had to raise the price to 23 million euros, but then Barcelona seemed to be sincerely unable to get along with Valencia, and while Valencia offered 23 million euros, it burst out close to the psychological floor price of 24 million euros.

Then Barcelona raised the offer by 25 million euros!

Soler had no choice, so he simply faxed his psychological highest offer of 25 million directly to Real Betis.

And the chairman of Real Betis, Meyer, also knows that Barcelona is purely joining in the fun, because they have bought Gudjohnson and Saviola in the forward position in the new season, plus the team's own players such as Ronaldinho, Giuli and Messi, how can they still hoard wingers?

Besides, Barcelona adheres to the short pass penetration, and does not play the winger to break through to the bottom line to cross at all, what is the use of buying it? Not so much to get Valencia to pay a little more?

In the end, Real Betis accepted Valencia's offer and brought home Real Betis' leading winger Joaquín for 25 million euros.

*****

After completing the deal with Real Betis, Valencia also held a press conference and a meeting with new signings.

The meeting of new signings shocked the whole of Spain and even the whole of Europe, with Ballack, Morientes, Joaquín, Tavano, Del Orno and others.

Although the other players except Ballack, Morientes and Joaquín are only famous, they are all very good.

With these signings in Valencia, plus the likes of Canizares, Ayala, Albelda, Baraja, Aillo and David Villa, the squad will allow them to go on a few laps in the Champions League.

In particular, their attacking combination, the goalscoring duo of Iello and David Villa, and Ballack, one of the most capable centre-backs in world football, is terrifying to think about.

At the same time, Valencia also announced the jersey numbers for the new season.

Ballack got his favourite No. 13 shirt and Iello changed his number 13 to a new number, but his favourite No. 7 shirt was owned by his friend David Villa, so he opted for No. 9.

It is worth mentioning that when the club gave the number for the new season, all the reporters thought that Iroh really deserved to choose this number, although he played the winger position, but the goal rate in the sports battle was much higher than that of the top strikers, and it was very suitable to wear this number.

Therefore, the day before the start of the Spanish Super Cup, the headlines of the mainstream media in Spain and even the whole of Europe gave Iello "The best goal in history No. 9!" "For the headlines.

"With Balencia coming in with Ballack, they have improved dramatically, both offensively and defensively... Of course, the help on the offensive side is the most obvious, because everyone is familiar with Ballack or his attacking ability in the midfield, plus Ai with super scoring ability, the strength of the entire Valencia team has been vaguely comparable to the traditional giants Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga......"

Bild from Germany

But it is commendable that before they praise Elo, they first talk about Barak's merits, and then talk about Elo, but it is not surprising to think that Barak is the pride of Germany.

Just like the reports from China, when Valencia was actively preparing for the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup in Barcelona, the Football Newspaper simply described Iello as a god-like being.

"The 2005-2006 season is long gone, but in this year, Iello has brought too many honors to Chinese football, La Liga and Copa del Rey titles and the Champions League semi-finals, so that the whole world knows that the players who helped Valencia achieve great results are the ...... of our country."

“…… At the beginning of the new season, Valencia kept Iroh and signed a superstar like Ballack, Valencia in the new season is more worthy of our expectations, but the most important thing in this team is Aillo! Because he is the soul of this team, last season's 44 goals in the league and 16 goals in the Champions League still impress us, so we have reason to look forward to his performance in the new season, let us witness Aiello lead Valencia to the top of Europe! ”

There are countless posts on the Internet in China.

At noon on the 17th, all the members of Valencia's first team flew to Barcelona by flight, because tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the evening, they will play Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup at the Camp Nou.

As soon as they came out of the airport, the reporters who had been waiting at Barcelona Airport for a long time surrounded the Valencia team members, among which the reporters who surrounded Ailo and Ballack were the most.

The second is Joaquin, who has spent the most transfer fees on the club this season.

"Barcelona won the Champions League last season, can you talk about the goal of the first leg of this Spanish Super Cup?" The reporters who surrounded Iroh asked the long-prepared questions.

Iroh took off his sunglasses and began to slander the reporter in front of him, could it be that this lewd-looking reporter was interviewing him for the first time? So I subconsciously lowered my head and looked at the reporter's work card - "World Sports News"

No wonder!

Only a reporter from Le Monde Sport can ask such an idiotic question.

Iroh has never given a good face to the media who like to oppose him, took off the sunglasses he wore on his eyes, glanced at the reporter in front of him, and sneered: "You also know that it was the Champions League champion last season?" Don't forget, we are the double champions of Spain! That's right...... The goal you are talking about? Beat Barcelona at Camp Nou, of course! Then he added jokingly, "Do you think we're here to visit Barcelona?" ”

Hahahaha-

Immediately, the reporters surrounding Ailo burst into laughter.

The lewd reporter of "World Sports" suddenly suffocated his face, and the colleague next to him suddenly couldn't look at it, and stood up to ask, "You lost the last game at Camp Nou!" ”

"Last game?" Iroh raised an eyebrow, touched the tip of his nose with his right index finger, took a breath, and grinned, "Are you trying to convey that I scored seven goals in three games at Camp Nou?" ”

Originally, the local reporters in Valencia were obviously upset when they heard the reporter of "World Sports" mention the team's sadness, but at the same time, they were also worried that Iroh would be angered by "World Sports" pre-match questions before the game, which would affect tomorrow night's form.

However, they were clearly overwhelmed by the questions asked by World Sports, and they were pleasantly surprised by Iroh's next answer.

Hahahaha-

Then there was another burst of laughter.

The so-called beating is not a slap in the face, scolding is not exposed, but Iello is to seize the shortcomings of Barcelona and say that the Catalan reporters who are directly angry at the scene cannot speak.

With Iroh expressing his confidence in the first leg of tomorrow's Super Cup, the rest of the team has also expressed their opinions.

****

The next day, that is, the day of the first leg of the match between Valencia and Barcelona Super Cup, the new French black central defender Thuram who joined Barcelona responded to Aillo's remarks in an interview with reporters, "Some people don't know how to respect opponents at all, so I will teach him how to respect opponents in tonight's game!" ”

Although Thuram did not name names, everyone present knew that he was fighting against Elo, and except for the reporters in Valencia and the Chinese who were slightly uncomfortable, the other reporters were very excited.

What is the most important thing before the game?

It's the smell of gunpowder!

If what Iroh said when he arrived in Barcelona yesterday was gunpowder, then Thuram's words were the spark that ignited the gunpowder.

Therefore...... A war of words is on the verge of breaking out!

Even Flores and Rijkaard, who participated in the pre-match press conference, joined in the war of words.

In such an atmosphere, the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, full of gunpowder, was played at the Camp Nou.

And this game also attracted enough attention, because this Spanish Super Cup match was a big match for both sides, with Valencia away as last season's double champions and Barcelona at home as last season's Champions League winners.

So even if this game is just a pre-match inconsequential Super Cup, it has attracted the attention of the whole of Europe, as both teams are serious contenders for the upcoming new season and the Champions League.

With the 90,000 fans in attendance, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
