Chapter 806 How Much Money Is Stupid? (plus more)
Originally, according to Chelsea's intention, a press conference was held to announce Ai Luo's recovery from the injury the next day, but it was not held under Ai Luo's intervention. He wanted to give the other teams in Group D of the World Cup a little surprise.
However, where is there an impenetrable wall in the information age?
The European media have all hands and eyes. One day later, a reporter got news from the Paris rehabilitation hospital where Aiello was previously located-Aiello is likely to recover from injury before the World Cup.
"According to reliable sources, the new European Ballon d'Or winner and World Player of the Year Ai has left the Paris rehabilitation hospital the day before yesterday, and was also undergoing a simple test at the Cobham training base yesterday morning. All physical indicators have recovered well, which means that he is very likely to participate in the World Cup in South Africa next month. I believe this news is not good news for Germany, Ghana and Serbia, because past examples have proved that teams with Ai are invincible..."
When the French "Team Daily" broke the news, the head coach of the German team Joachim Loew, the head coach of Ghana Rajevac, and the head coach of Serbia Antic all subconsciously panicked. Aiello's reputation is well-known far and wide!But they quickly realized that Ai Luo has just recovered from his injury, and it is not so easy for his body to return to the game state. In addition, the injured part is the fatal joint ligament of a speed player...
Numerous cases in the past told them that players must have a long period of adaptation after suffering a serious injury. They don’t think that Ai Luo will play the strongest combat effectiveness when he comes back. The tear of the left knee joint ligament and tibiofibular ligament must be very fragile after healing. A player like him who likes to stop and change directions at high speeds in high-speed sports will definitely have repeated injuries if he is forced to stop and change directions.
At the same time, Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese team, is very capable. He has received a call from Aiello, expressing that he can participate in the World Cup in South Africa next month while expressing his recovery.
For Gao Hongbo, there is no better news than this news, even if the General Administration of Sports announced the disengagement of the Football Association and the withdrawal of the football management center a week ago!
The 19th World Cup will start in South Africa next month. The previous Chinese team has remained unbeaten in all competitions with Aiello, but this year they have two draws and one loss in the three friendly matches without Aiello. From this data, it is easy to see the importance of Aiello to the Chinese team.
Reminiscent of the invincible Chelsea in the 2007-2008 season and the 2008-2009 season, it is not difficult to see the importance of Aiello to a team. Chelsea had a healthy Aiello in those two seasons and swept the world. After losing Aiello in December last year...
All four are empty.
Ai Luo is no longer just a football player, he is more like the spiritual leader of a team, that is to say, Gao Hongbo's national team can lack anyone, but Ai Luo cannot be lacked!
Even if he doesn't meet the playing requirements, at least he can give the players on the court full confidence and courage on the sidelines!

Two days later, Aiello traveled to Valencia to reunite with the Chinese team in preparation for the 19th World Cup in South Africa next month.
However, in addition to the end of the Premier League, there are still one or two final rounds of matches in other European leagues. Only domestic players and Aiello who have been shortlisted for 30 candidates came to Valencia to report.
It is worth mentioning that the biggest reason why the Chinese XX Football Association chose to train in Valencia is that the new owner of Valencia, He Puqi, is Chinese, and he is willing to provide two pieces of high-quality turf to the Chinese team for training for free.
On the night that Aiello arrived in Valencia, the Chinese XX Football Association arranged a press conference as usual.
The European leagues have now either confirmed the league championship or entered a fierce stage of competition for the championship. However, the press conference held by the Chinese XX Football Association for Aiello’s hotel in Valencia still attracted the attention of countless reporters. They are eager to know Aiello’s recovery. Will he participate in the World Cup finals with the Chinese team?
Valencia local reporters, London reporters and reporters from China were particularly excited and sent the most reporters.
The reporters who came to the hotel where the Chinese team stayed filled the entire meeting room. The first reporter to be called was a local reporter from Valencia.
The man Aiello just recognized was Enrique Wein, editor-in-chief of the "Valencia Sport".
"Ai, I heard that you have undergone a detailed physical test at the Cobham training base. Have you reached the standard for competition?"
"It is indeed a simple physical test, but it is just a simple switchback run. As for whether it can be restored to the competition standard, I think this is not something I can decide..."
The answer was very official, and Enrique Wein rolled his eyes helplessly.
"You only have the last two years of your contract with Chelsea, and Chelsea has not made any move to renew your contract. Will you leave Chelsea this summer?"
A London reporter asked cautiously.
"Again, it's not something I can decide and I'm very happy at Chelsea."
"Although your attending doctor, Gerald Sayan, said that your left foot is recovering well, we want to know whether this injury will have a huge impact on your future career? Will you appear in the Chinese team's squad for the World Cup next month?"
Regarding this question, Ai Luo pondered for a while, and smiled after about five seconds: "I really don't know whether it will affect my career, because I am not Jesus... As for whether I will appear in the Chinese team's lineup, I think... Time will tell you the answer."
Ai Luo's answer immediately caused a burst of laughter from the reporters on the scene. This question is really confusing, because no one in this world can know what his future will be like.
"Hey, you don't know if your career will be affected in the future. Is it because you don't have confidence in yourself? In countless cases in the past, no player was able to return to the game quickly after a serious injury. If I remember correctly, the Chinese team's first game in the World Cup was June No. 14. There is still one month before your recovery. Is it really enough?"
At this moment, a strange voice sounded in the meeting room.
Ai Luo frowned and looked over, and quickly became relieved after seeing the speaker clearly.
The questioner was Juan Carlos, a columnist of "World Sports News", who has the same name and surname as the current King of Spain, and Aiello's "enemy" in the Iberian Peninsula
If you were another reporter, Ai Luo would not care about it, but Juan Carlos is a typical under-drawing reporter, and he must be educated: "Did you once think that the 14 goals scored by AC Milan star Altafini in a single season in the Champions League was unbeatable? Did you once think that the Premier League's single-season scoring record could not be broken? Do you think that no one can perform a hat-trick in two consecutive seasons of the Champions League final? Isn't that right?"
Not only Juan Carlos was taken aback by Ai Luo's four "is it?", even the other reporters were the same.
The most important thing is that there is no way to refute!
What if one is a coincidence?What about the other two?
So Juan Carlos walked away angrily...
The following reporter interviews gradually developed in a normal direction, but the focus of the question was whether Ai Luo could catch up with the last train of the World Cup.
※※※
The next day, mainstream European media reported almost all about Aiello who had just appeared in public.
At this time, Ai Luo, accompanied by Li Shiyin, met with Valencia’s top management—boss He Puqi and general manager Caboni—at the hotel, while the acting head coach Antonio Lopez did not come to the hotel in the tense preparations for the penultimate round of the league, because whether Valencia can secure its entry into the European League next season depends on the performance of the last two games.
In fact, general manager Caboni is unwilling to sign Aiello back to Valencia at this time. Aiello has just been seriously injured for half a year and has not yet proved his recovery. Whether he can recover to his best condition in the future is still a big question mark. In addition, buying out his contract at Chelsea and paying the top salary requires at least a budget of at least [-] million euros.
If you take this money, you don't know how many good and cheap young players you can buy...
Thinking of this, Carboni admires the vision of the new boss He Puqi very much. The young players he named before the season, such as Benatia, Cavani, Schneiderlin, Azpilicueta, and Javi Martinez, have proved their ability and potential in this season's games. Over time, they will definitely become a valuable asset for the team.
It's just that He Puqi still insisted on buying Ai Luo after he was seriously injured, which made Carboni a little confused and even a little dissatisfied.
You must know that Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Manchester United and other clubs that were interested in Ai Luo before all remained silent after his serious injury. Obviously, it is extremely risky for them to buy out Ai Luo at a high price. Although they are not short of money, they are afraid of being seriously injured again after buying back at a high price...
Carboni's worries are also here, but the tragedy is that he is not the boss.
Under Ai Luo's instruction, Li Shiyin did not ask for extravagant prices, and her personal treatment only needs to be within the range of top stars.
So... Valencia gave Chelsea an offer of 6000 million pounds on the second day, which is the price Chelsea bought out Ai Luo three years ago.
The media responded quickly. Not long after Valencia's offer was sent to Chelsea, some media broke the news that Valencia would buy back the former Quebec for 6000 million pounds.
The reporter who received the news naturally went to Valencia to verify. After all, 6000 million pounds is not a small amount, and the current Aiello is not the Ailuo in his peak period. He has just recovered from a serious injury and is still recovering. The future state of the game and the degree of recovery are still unknown.
In the words of Juan Carlos: "The owners of Valencia are rich and stupid."
