The top three teams in the league are Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia.
Valencia has perford exceptionally well this season under the leadership of Unai Ery, a coach who previously led Alria to promotion and worked with Negredo, and who has ambitious goals this season.
The match between Valencia and Real Madrid has attracted a lot of attention. If Valencia can defeat Real Madrid and Barcelona loses in this round, Valencia could beco second in the league.
Therefore, Valencia is taking this match very seriously, with key players like Villa, Silva, and Mata all making appearances.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is missing Kaka.
Both Valdano and Pellegrini listened to the dical report and approved Kaka’s surgery plan. President Florentino, though sowhat reluctant, also gave his approval.
Florentino understands the importance of not losing the bigger picture. After all, Real Madrid signed a six-year contract with Kaka, showing their magnanimity at this critical championship mont.
At the pre-match press conference, Albiol, who transferred to Real Madrid for 15 million Euro this sumr and was forrly Valencia’s vice-captain, gave a speech upon his first return to stalla Stadium.
He said, "This is a very important match."
"I have returned to stalla."
"And also returned to my hotown."
"I have always been grateful to the club and fans, and if I score in this match, I will not celebrate."
When a reporter asked Albiol about his goal for this match, Chen Zhong, who was also attending the press conference, stood in front of Albiol, gave a aningful glance at the reporter, and said, "Our goal is to win. If we want to win the La Liga championship, we must strive to win every ga we can."
This is a very normal statent. For a Real Madrid player to say this is normal, but if Albiol were to say this in front of the dia, it might cause dissatisfaction among Valencia fans.
Albiol apparently realized this and continued after Chen Zhong, "Yes, this will definitely be a tough match. Villa is a top striker, possessing all the talents a top scorer should have. If you think you have him under control, he can deliver a lethal blow at any mont."
When Albiol said this, the Valencia fans watching the interview smiled. Although the departure of the vice-captain saddened them, the club’s finances made it inevitable.
However, what Albiol said next outraged Valencia fans.
Because Albiol actually said in front of the dia, "The greatest players should play for the best clubs. I really hope to beco teammates with Villa again at Real Madrid."
"Villa currently averages 30 goals a season. I’m curious to see how many goals he could score in a season with Real Madrid."
"That would definitely be a very great number."
During the sumr transfer window, besides Benzema, Real Madrid also ca very close to Villa, a player with balanced left and right foot techniques, calm in front of the goal, excellent shooting skills, and who was the top scorer of the 2008 European Cup, helping Spain win the European Cup.
Unfortunately, Valencia’s asking price was unacceptable. Real Madrid, already possessing Negredo, Benzema, and Higuain, gave up on the idea of bringing in Villa.
Albiol’s remarks to lure Villa were not only taboo for Valencia but also left Chen Zhong, standing by, staring at Albiol in astonishnt, as if he wanted to open up Albiol’s head to see if it was filled with flour.
Soon, Valencia fans were calling Albiol a traitor, while forr Valencia captain Albelda bluntly said regarding Villa, "Villa? He’s as valuable as C. Ronaldo! He’s more outstanding than Chen Zhong!"
Villa himself, when interviewed by the dia, publicly stated, "I am willing to break through Real Madrid’s goal for the Valencia fans. I will never want to join Real Madrid."
Villa’s statent pierced the hearts of the rengues, because as Real Madrid, they were thinking, if you don’t want to co, we’re not interested either!
As public opinion intensified, the coaches of both teams stood up. Pellegrini, addressing the caras, said, "Negredo is an outstanding player. We also have Higuain, Benzema, and the young Morata."
"Villa is a very unique player, but we won’t spend big money to bring in a backup player."
Pellegrini’s remarks surprised many people. Real Madrid spent nearly 300 million Euro this sumr window, bringing in players like Kaka, C. Ronaldo, Pirlo, and Benzema.
