Chapter 436： Valencia and Benitez

With the best player in the Premier League, Villa naturally did not escape the slaughter of his teammates. Compared to the big meal, everyone hopes that Villa will invite guests to have fun, but the test is just in front of the UEFA Cup final, so only Can be delayed until the end of the season.

Villa is very happy, which is equivalent to escaping, because after the UEFA Cup final, it must be a big celebration, and then the players will go to the national team to report, this summer, the Portuguese European Championship after the end of the season The battle curtain will soon be opened, and who can still go and have fun!

After a few days of rest, Notts County has completely entered the state of preparation. Although the league championship has been handed down, they will not give up the glory of the defending UEFA Cup. It can be said that the success or failure of the season will be in this final game. bingo.

Valencia's strength is unquestionable, and it has reached the Champions League final twice and won the La Liga championship trophy twice. These are the players who have reached the peak of their careers, even though Mendieta, the former European The best midfielder has already transferred and left, but the arrival of Aimar still allows this Valencia to move forward on the peak.

In fact, David is very sorry for this Valencia after the turn of the world. If Valencia is in an environment like England, then Valencia, which has created such a strong record, is solely relying on huge broadcast fees. And the game day income can maintain the team's high investment and continued glory.

But in La Liga, the big player of the broadcast fee is monopolized by oligarchs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and the ticket revenue cannot be compared with the Premier League. Even if Valencia's performance in recent years can completely crush Barcelona and Real Madrid, they are unable to challenge the two powerful players. The traditional position can only go from glory to decline step by step.

Take a look at Valencia's current lineup. Although there is no top star, which one is not a famous warrior!

The goalkeeper Canizares, once Spain's number one national goal, if it was not before the 2002 World Cup due to injury and Casillas was in danger, I am afraid that San Cassie has no way to get the starting position of the national team so soon!

The defenders Ayala, Marchena and Pellegrino have all participated in the two UEFA Champions League finals, and they are the best in terms of strength and experience.

The midfield is the same as Notts County, and it is also the most proud place in Valencia.

Baraja and Albelda are the midfielders of Spain, but they firmly hold the main position. Both Harvey and Alonso can only stand by. Although there is a factor of seniority in this, it is not allowed. Denying the ability of the two giants, some people even compare the two with Manchester United's Keane.

On the avant-garde line, there are the Spanish top wing Vicente, Angulo and the clown Aimar. Aimar is known as Maradona’s successor. In his past life, Messi has always been an idol. Is it worshipped by the coal ball king? , Is not enough to prove Aimar's strength!

The starter of the striker is usually occupied by Mista. Although the Spanish striker did not have a particularly high goal rate in front of his career, this season suddenly broke out, scoring 19 goals in the La Liga league and being on the La Liga scorer list. Top ranking.

Such a lineup of arrogant and powerful players, coupled with the training of tactical master Benitez, with a strong overall strength to suppress Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league, there is not much surprise.

In addition to Arsenal, Valencia is arguably the most powerful opponent encountered in Notts County this season, stronger than both Manchester United and Chelsea.

The team is preparing for the battle with all their strength, but David often seems to be absent-minded. Others don’t know what he is thinking, maybe the anxiety before the final, only he himself knows, he is thinking about his appearance will give Europe How much change football has brought.

Not to mention anything else, Benitez, the rival of Valencia in front of him, has a future that David cannot predict.

After winning the UEFA Cup in Valencia the previous life, Benitez, who was full of honors, retired and left Valencia to go to the Premier League to coach Liverpool. The first season led the actual lineup and did not have the dominant power The Red Army stood on the podium of the Champions League, especially the final night of Istanbul is a classic in the history of football...

But now the situation is, Valencia's UEFA Cup final opponent has changed, from the average strength of Marseille to the strong Notts County, can Valencia like David's previous life to win the UEFA Cup championship trophy?

I'm afraid this chance will drop a lot. Even if the win rate of the two teams is five or five, the fans are still more optimistic about Notts County.

If Valencia cannot win the UEFA Cup, will Benitez leave Valencia?

Although the UEFA Champions League and two consecutive La Liga titles have more gold content, and Benitez may also be aware of the signs that the team is about to leave the altar, David still cannot predict Benitez's action.

Well, even if Benitez will still leave, will he join Liverpool?

Admittedly, Liverpool is a traditional giant in England and has a huge influence throughout Europe. It is not comparable to Valencia, but this season Liverpool can not play in the Champions League!

Even though Valencia's status in La Liga is not high, how can the champions play the Champions League, as if they are used to the Man Han full seat, and then let you eat knife noodles, do you get used to it?

OK, let’s assume that Benitez, regardless of whether he has a Champions League or not, will be the main player because of Liverpool’s status It’s no problem to play in the League and the UEFA Cup Things really won't happen again, at least not next season...

David doesn't think it's a pity that Liverpool and Benitez can't beat the Champions League. What makes him feel a pity is that the miracle of Istanbul Night will not happen, that's all.

This season's UEFA Cup final was held in Sweden. After a week of intense training in England, Notts rushed to Sweden four days in advance. In the final game, they need to be extremely cautious.

On the same day, Valencia also rushed to Sweden, and the UEFA Cup final battle was on the verge.

Although the influence of the UEFA Cup cannot be compared with the Champions League, the UEFA Champions League this season is really unbearable. There is not a traditional giant in the semi-finals. After the semi-finals, the two teams participating in the finals were also freshly released-Porto and Monaco. , The same as the memory of David's previous life.

How does this have no gold content in the Champions League final!

Compared to the UEFA Champions League final, the UEFA Cup final can be more attractive. After all, Notts County and Valencia are the champions of their respective leagues! (To be continued.)
