Chapter 285 "Focus on La Liga"
******
All the media did not expect that Flores would take the initiative to bear his own mistakes, so those prepared topics are no longer easy to ask questions.
After all, they have already taken the initiative to admit their mistakes, so there is no need to use these things to disgust Flores, otherwise it will give people the impression that they are not forgiving.
As the saying goes, stay on the front line in everything, and I really want to see you in the future.
These are old fritters who have been working as reporters for decades, how could they not know?
Finally, the routine post-match press conference ended hastily.
After all the UEFA Champions League fourth round group stage, in addition to Valencia's home loss to Porto, there were two other upsets.
Chelsea lost [-]-[-] away to Glasgow Rangers in Scotland.
Manchester United also lost to Lille in France with a score of zero to one.
And these three upsets also appeared on the headlines of mainstream European newspapers the next day.
In particular, Valencia, which had previously won three consecutive victories, lost 1:3 at home to Porto, which was almost out early. This result made everyone's eyes fall.
Naturally, it became the headline 'highlight' news.
After all, both Chelsea and Manchester United are playing away games, so a small loss is justifiable.

"Valencia, the leader of La Liga this season, can be said to have had a smooth sailing in the beginning of the season and did not encounter any setbacks. Therefore, their attitude towards the game has not been as correct as before, and this game is Porto's best attitude since the start of the European war. Therefore...they won this game. This is football! It is not a stronger team that wins. There is a Chinese saying that is very correct, God rewards hard work!"
"...Of course, coach Adriance's weakness before the game also played a vital role, otherwise...this game would not have been won so easily."
Excerpts of Champions League headlines from England's 442.
Later, "442" also mentioned Ai Luo's performance in this game.
"...At the same time, we would like to praise China Ai from Valencia. His never-give-up spirit is one of the few bright spots in the entire Valencia team. He also scored his sixth goal in the Champions League and continues to lead the scorer list..."
"In this game, except for Ai and David Villa who performed normally, the other nine players seemed to be watching the game... When facing Quaresma one after another when he cut in from the right, they actually acted as a perfect spectator..."
This is a report from the French "L'Equipe", and next to it is an illustration of Aurelio and Ayala defending Quaresma. On the picture, the two are using a very advanced skill --- eye defense!
"...Porto's victory in this key game can be said to be well-deserved. Through their own efforts, they dominated the game... Their attitude towards the game is much better than Valencia, and the result happened to deal with the attitudes of both sides towards the game, so...the game between Valencia and Porto has set a good example for us..."
"Valencia Sports Daily" only slightly mentioned the reason for the team's failure here. "The team's failure is not the responsibility of any one person. After all, it is a whole. In addition, football games are inherently won and won, and the team cannot continue to win. Moreover... Enrique Flores is also very correct. Losing at this time is much better than losing in key games. There are still two rounds of time given to us. As long as we face the next game well, we may still qualify..."
"... From another perspective, it can be seen that Valencia has not calmed down its own mentality after the smooth sailing of the league. Although there are few teams in this world that can defeat Barcelona and Real Madrid at Camp Nou and Bernabeu in succession, it is not impossible! In addition, those two games are more like Ai's extraordinary performance, which is not the performance of the team as a whole. Therefore, we need to adjust our mentality. Fortunately...the next two international match days, let us have enough time to solve the team's current dilemma."

The first time Valencia lost, Juan Carlos from "Mundo Deportivo" showed signs of resurgence. Although he did not name him in this report, the character he wanted to express was very obvious.
"Some people still regard themselves as a savior, but... this time he was disappointed because his team lost! And it still lost at home. This time, it was a big shame. Losing when everyone thought they should win, in fact, I have already said... He is a black sheep."
This is an excerpt from the Juan Carlos column of "World Sports Daily".
Although this report by Juan Carlos did not cause a big sensation, it was still known by Ai Luo.
The team had just lost, and Ai Luo was naturally not in a good mood. He didn't expect that someone would come to scold him at this time, so he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to vent.
He used the platform of "Valencia Sports Daily" to say, "Some'mad dogs' can't control their mouths all the time. I guess they have been slapped by themselves and have forgotten the current situation. We lost, but this is also our own business. What's the matter with the 'mad dogs'? Don't you know that Valencia's affairs are animals that cannot be discussed?"
Ailuo's swear words without swear words immediately made Juan Carlos furious, but he couldn't vent it, so he slapped his face again to look fat.
Why use it again?
Ha ha……

During the period when the media reported that Valencia lost at home, when the team assembled on the second day, Flores gathered all the team members and held a short meeting.
During this brief meeting, the attitude of the players was very good.
It is not so much a meeting as a platform for self-admission.
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 for a while. It seems...the loss of this game was very timely.
So...according to the current schedule, there are still five rounds left before the league enters the winter break.
The start of the winter break will mean that the team will encounter a third-line battle in the second half of the season, and it also means that the team has entered a critical time.
And at this time, there is still room for recovery, but if you lose a key game at a critical time, then there will be no room for recovery. Losing a key game will also mean losing a season of games!
It is really a very good deal to use an 'irrelevant' Champions League group match in exchange for a happy ending of the team's season!
After the "Self-Acknowledgment Platform" ended, the team disbanded on the spot, because the two international match days in November will also be approaching.
But for the ten nations of Spain, Czech Republic, Turkey, Switzerland, Slovakia, Norway, Bahrain, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Australia, it was no ordinary international break.
These two international match days will directly determine whether these countries can get five tickets to enter the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

For Aiello, the international competition day is equal to the day when he strengthens his training.
However, while self-strengthening training, his agent Adrian brought him a piece of news. Because Valencia has many Spanish international players, this time the director of National Sports Five from Madrid, the capital, Harlem Lee took a fancy to Aiello, who did not have a national team game task, and wanted to invite him to participate in this episode of "Focus on La Liga".
This program started in June 1999, with one episode (live broadcast) every week.
The influence in the whole of Spain can only be considered so-so, but it is undeniable that this program still has considerable value, because it sends a signal towards the real Europe.
And "Focus on La Liga" has changed to a very professional beauty anchor Sarah Carbonero this year.
Compared to watching an old man with a bearded face explaining the current program, wouldn't it be better to have a beautiful anchor with the same professionalism as the host?
Therefore, since this year's intern Sara Carbonero hosted the "Focus on La Liga" program, the ratings of National Sports Five have been rising.
"What program?" Ai Luo stopped the sit-ups counting to '1864' times, and asked out of breath.
"It's a football show. It's almost the kind of host you ask me to answer... Are you interested?"
Ai Luo replied subconsciously, "Not interested..."
"But this program is currently very popular in Spain, and it also has a certain influence in Europe. Increasing your influence will also help." Adrian on the other end of the phone saw that Ai Luo hadn't responded, and continued, "I heard that the host of this program is a super beautiful woman."
"And... when the time comes your ex-teammate David Silva will also..."
"What? Please say it again..." Ai Luo seemed to have heard a key word, and quickly interrupted Adrian's words.
"Your ex-teammate David Silva will also be there..."
"Not this sentence, the last sentence..."
"This program is currently very popular in Spain, and it also has a certain influence in Europe. Increasing your influence will also help..."
"No, no, it seems to be the next sentence..."
"I heard that the host of this show is a super beautiful woman?"
"Yes, that's it... I participated in this show!"
"..."
******
NO.11, that is, the third day after the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Aiello contacted David Silva in advance, and the two made an appointment to meet at the door of the coffee shop opposite the National Sports Channel [-].
As soon as Ai Luo got off the taxi, he saw David Silva who was leaning against the door and playing with his mobile phone wearing sunglasses from a long distance away. He ignored the distance between the two and shouted: "David!"
After David Silva heard the familiar voice, he immediately looked over and put his mobile phone into the pocket of his jeans by the way. After seeing that it was Ai Luo, he greeted him.
"Haha... I haven't seen you in a few months, and I've grown a lot stronger!"
David Silva said while punching Ai Luo in the chest.
"Is that necessary? Otherwise, where will the capital come from to satisfy the vast number of beautiful girls who lack love?" Ai Luo raised his arms very generously, and then arched his biceps, "Are you envious?"
Just then, Ai Luo's cell phone rang.
PS: Two precious monthly tickets that are very indifferent!I don't know everyone, were you excited about the national football game last night?
