Chapter 436 Valencia and Benitez
Villa, who won the best player in the Premier League, naturally did not escape the slaughter of his teammates. Compared with a big meal, everyone hoped that Villa would treat guests to have fun. However, considering that the UEFA Cup final is just around the corner, so we only It can be delayed until after the end of the season.
Villa is very happy, this is equivalent to escaping, because after the UEFA Cup final, there must be a big celebration, and then the players will report to the national team. The battle will start soon, who cares about having fun!
After a few days of rest, Notts County has fully entered the state of preparation. Although the league championship has been won, they will not give up the glory of defending the UEFA Cup. It can be said that the success or failure of the season depends on this final game bingo.
There is no doubt that Valencia is strong. It has entered the Champions League final twice in a row and won the La Liga trophy twice in a row. They are all players who have reached the peak of their careers. Even Mendieta, a former European The best midfielder has already moved away, but the arrival of Aimar still makes this Valencia team move forward on the road to the top.
In fact, David felt very sorry for the Valencia team after the turn of the world. If Valencia was in an environment like England, then Valencia, who created such a strong record, only relied on the huge broadcast fee And game day income can maintain the high investment of the team and continue to be brilliant.
But in La Liga, the bulk of the broadcasting fee is monopolized by oligarchs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the ticket revenue cannot be compared with that of the Premier League. Traditional status can only go from glory to decline step by step.
Take a look at Valencia's current lineup. Although there are no top superstars, who is not a well-known general?
Goalkeeper Canizares, once Spain's number one national team, if Casillas hadn't quit due to injury before the 02 World Cup and was ordered in danger, I am afraid that San Cassie would not have been able to get the starting position of the national team so quickly!
Ayala, Marchena and Pellegrino on the back line have all participated in two Champions League finals, and they are all top-notch in terms of strength and experience.
Like Notts County, the midfield is also the place Valencia is most proud of.
The defensive midfielder combination of Baraja and Albelda is Spain's midfield combination, firmly holding the main position. Both Xavi and Alonso can only stand aside. Although there are seniority factors in this, it is not acceptable Denying the ability of the two titans, some people even compare them with Manchester United's Keane.
There are Spanish-style top wingers Vicente, Angulo and the clown Aimar on the avant-garde line. Aimar is known as Maradona's successor, and Messi has always been an idol in his previous life. Could it be that he is worshiped by the briquette king? , Isn't it enough to prove Aimar's strength!
The striker's starting lineup is usually occupied by Mista. Although the Spanish striker did not have a particularly high scoring rate in his previous career, he suddenly broke out this season. He scored 19 goals in La Liga and ranked first in the La Liga scorer list. Ranked top.
With such a lineup of proud soldiers, coupled with the training of the tactician Benitez, it is not a big surprise to suppress Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league with their strong overall strength.
Apart from Arsenal, Valencia can be said to be the strongest opponent Notts County has encountered this season, stronger than Manchester United and Chelsea.
The team is going all out to prepare for the game, but David often seems absent-minded. Others don't know what he is thinking. Maybe it is the anxiety before the final. Only he knows that he is thinking about what his appearance will do to Europe. How much change the direction of football has brought.
Leaving aside other things for the time being, the future of the current opponent Valencia's coach Benitez is beyond what David can predict.
After winning the UEFA Cup in Valencia in the previous life, Benitez retired with honors and left Valencia to go to the Premier League to coach Liverpool. In the first season, he led the actual lineup and was not dominant. The Red Army stands on the podium of the Champions League, especially the final night in Istanbul is a classic in the entire football history
But the current situation is that Valencia's opponent in the UEFA Cup final has changed, from the mediocre Marseille to the strong Notts County, can Valencia still win the UEFA Cup like David did in his previous life?
I'm afraid this probability will drop a lot. Even if the two teams have a [-]-[-] winning percentage, the fans are still more optimistic about Notts County.
If Valencia can't win the UEFA Cup, will Benitez leave Valencia?
Although the UEFA Cup championship is not as valuable as the two consecutive La Liga titles, and Benitez may have sensed the signs that the team is about to step down from the altar, David still cannot predict Benitez's actions.
Well, even if Benitez will leave, will he join Liverpool?
It is true that Liverpool is a traditional giant in England and has a huge influence throughout Europe. It is not comparable to Valencia, but Liverpool did not play in the Champions League this season!
Even though Valencia's status in La Liga is not high, how can the champion be able to play in the Champions League?
Okay, and assuming that Benitez won the Champions League regardless of whether he has the Champions League or not, because of Liverpool's status as a wealthy family, there is no problem playing in the League and the UEFA Cup. It will happen again, at least not next season
David doesn't think it's a pity that Liverpool and Benitez can't win the Champions League. What makes him feel pity is that the miracle of the Istanbul night will not happen, that's all.
This season's UEFA Cup final was held in Sweden. After a week of intensive training in England, Notts County arrived in Sweden four days ahead of schedule. For the last game, they needed to be extremely cautious.
On the same day, Valencia also rushed to Sweden with the whole team, and the UEFA Cup final was about to start.
Although the influence of the UEFA Cup cannot be compared with that of 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, two teams participating in the finals have also been freshly released-Porto and Monaco , the same as the memory of David's previous life.
What a golden Champions League final this is!
Compared with the Champions League final, the UEFA Cup final can be more attractive. After all, Notts County and Valencia are both champions of their respective leagues!
