Chapter 45: Preparing for Villarreal


After Aiello and David Silva read the Valencia Sports newspaper, they went directly to the locker room of the training ground to change clothes, and then moved to the training ground.

When they came to the training ground, there were already six or seven people on the court.

When everyone saw Ai Luo, they were stunned instinctively, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Isn't this guy the first one here every day?

Why is he like this today?

Too late Seeing everyone's doubts and confusion, Aiello took the initiative and said: "David and I were reading Valencia Sports in Uncle Lucas's guard room for a while, so hey" Only then did everyone show their true expressions.

"Hey, Ai, don't you see that you are quite photogenic?"

Aurelio said jokingly while bumping the ball towards Ai Luo, who was adjusting his socks.

Aiello saw Aurelio bumping the ball, and he became playful.

He quickly got his socks and took a football from a basket not far away, then put it on the spot and pointed it at Aurelio who was bumping the ball.

After playing football, he said "That's necessary, okay?

It doesn't look at who I am.

Haha" bang The sound made by a football hitting a football.

"Oh yes," Ai Luo jumped excitedly.

"I'll go."

Aurelio raised his middle finger towards Aiello, then continued to pick up the football and bump the ball.

The latter laughed happily.

Seeing that Aurelio was about to continue throwing the ball, Aiello took another football from the basket, prepared to repeat the same trick, put the ball on the ground, and then aimed at the football.

But this time Aurelio was ready.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Aiello playing with the football.

When Aiello came over with the ball, he turned decisively and the football kicked his back thigh.

Then slowly rolled back to Ai Luo's feet.

Then Aurelio made a victory gesture.

"It's boring."

Ai Luo curled his lips, stepped on the rolling football, then turned around and pulled it.

He happened to see David also throwing the ball, so he said: "David, before the coach comes, let's play with the net."

Football, whoever loses will treat you to lunch today."

Before David Silva could answer, other teammates heard that he had lost and treated him, and they quickly replied: "Wow, I want to come."

Then another "I'm coming" Finally, one after another "I want to come" "I want to come" Finally, all the players present wanted to participate in this more interesting game, so under Albelda's organization, they were divided into two groups, four versus five.

The rule is that you can hit the ball with any part other than your hands or arms.

The ball can hit the ground once or not in your own area.

If the ball hits the ball and then lands in your own area, it will be a failure.

Each player can only hit the ball once at a time. , cannot hit the ball 2 times or more in a row, otherwise it will be a failure.

Each team can hit the ball up to three times.

Blocking the ball is also counted as a hit.

The third time the ball must be hit from the net back to the opponent's court.

After fifteen minutes of fierce battle, the four-man team consisting of Aiello, David Silva, Albelda, and Amedeo Carboni narrowly defeated the five-man team led by Aurelio with a two-goal advantage.

"ohyesbaby" Aiello and three others high-fived in celebration of their victory.

Get free lunch However, one thing that can be noted is that Aiello consciously started to touch the ball with his left foot today.

Although he made a mistake at the beginning, as the number of touches increased and his feeling for the ball improved, he got better.

"Hahaha Aurelio, let's go out together in your car at noon.

Don't default on your payment."

At this time, silence is better than sound.

I extend my middle finger to you.

Aurelio raised his middle finger, high Not long after the tennis game ended, Ranieri and his assistant Benetti came to the training ground.

There was a fierce UEFA Cup match last night, so today's schedule is mainly about resumption of training.

The team members are conducting ordinary recovery training under the leadership of physical coach Olnes.

After the warm-up, sit down and do some activities to relax the muscles.

While doing the activities, you should fully stretch the muscles.

This will help relieve tense muscles, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent muscle strains.

After the muscle relaxation and finishing activities were completed, they each went to Olness to receive a cup of homemade sports drink and drank it, which can speed up muscle recovery.

Ranieri and Benetti were sitting aside to discuss the next round of the league match against Villarreal at home.

The two looked at the data with sad faces, obviously discussing countermeasures.

Villarreal has always been a little-known city.

The combined population of the entire city is not as large as the Mestalla Stadium.

However, since Pellegrini, known as the Chilean engineer, took office last year, Since then, this team has changed, incorporating Pellegrini's style.

Its clear lines, delicate and smooth style of play has begun to gain the respect of its peers throughout La Liga.

Respectfully, Valencia lost 0-1 in the last round of the game at Villarreal’s home stadium, Estadio Love Song, which indirectly led to a sharp rise in Villarreal’s points this season.

It is now ranked fifth in La Liga, away from home.

Sevilla, who was in fourth, was two points behind, and Valencia, who was third, was only five points away.

This was equivalent to a six-point game, so they both looked sad.

But they are not without good news.

The good news is that Villarreal also participated in the UEFA Cup finals of 18 last night and also reached the quarterfinals.

Speaking of which, Valencia still has a slight advantage.

Likewise, Villarreal, which played the UEFA Cup in the middle of the week, will play away from home on the weekend.

Valencia can just wait at home and relax.

At the same time, Ranieri heavily circled the three names in this data with red water-based pen: Juan Roman Riquelme, Diego Forlan and goalkeeper Reina.

Looking at the names of these three people, my head hurts again.

Needless to say, Riquelme is known as the last classical midfielder in modern times.

Needless to say, how powerful he is, with super personal ability and super strength.

His direct passing ability, as of the twenty-fifth round of La Liga, among the sixteen league goals scored by Diego Forlan, Riquelme has accounted for nine assists.

His direct passing ability It can be seen.

Diego Forlan is characterized by flexible movement, superb shooting skills, and first-class sense of smell in front of the goal.

In the first half of the season, Barcelona lost 3-0 at home against the all-powerful team.

Goalkeeper Reina played a huge role in that game.

With his superb goal-line skills, he made ten thrilling saves in that game.

This is world-class.

The one-goal loss in the first half of the season was due to goalkeeper Reina.

Ranieri remembers clearly that in that game, Reina saved Aimar one after another, and Vicente's two consecutive shots prevented Valencia.

No temper at all.

This forced Ranieri to deal with it carefully to prevent capsizing in the gutter.

After all, the league has entered the second half of the season, and the UEFA Cup has also entered the quarterfinals.

If he makes a slight mistake, everything will be lost, and dismissal will be his final result.

As players, of course they can't understand Ranieri's troubles.

Their job is to train and compete, and they can't care so much at other times.

So after the two-hour recovery training in the morning, they were like scattered chickens.

They all left, and among them, Aurelio was the fastest.

"Hey, don't run away."

Aiello saw Aurelio running to the locker room first, shouted loudly from behind, and then chased after him.

This scene was seen by the Valencia players and they were happy in their hearts. interesting If Aurelio can outrun Aiello, the answer is of course he can't.

Therefore, Aurelio stopped with self-awareness, shrugged, and said: "Hey, it's just a meal.

Why don't you chase her so closely?

I just need to pee urgently and want to go to the toilet."

"The toilet is over there" Iroh pointed to the toilet next to the locker room.

"Um, you're not allowed to pee in the locker room."

Aurelio raised his eyebrows.

"Pfft!"

Ai Luo was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Aurelio with an incredulous look, as if he had discovered a new world.

Aurelio quickly covered Ai Luo's mouth and didn't let go until the other team members had left.

"Wait in the parking lot after taking a shower."

"Hey, you want to scare me away after just one meal.

I told the aunt who cleans the club locker room that you often urinate and defecate in the locker room.

She often complains about the smell in the locker room."

Ai Luo crossed her chest and looked at him with a smile.

Aurelio.

"You're so cruel, I'll give you two meals."

"Four times" Ai Luo stretched out four fingers

“Maximum three meals” "make a deal" In the end, Aurelio spent three hundred euros and invited nine people to have a wonderful massage.

Before the tactical class in the afternoon, Ranieri finally thought of a countermeasure and said to his assistant: "Now we are definitely not good at guarding Riquelme and Diego Forlan, who is in excellent condition.

Why don't we give it a try and try to Violence meets violence, we fight against Villarreal in Mestalla" Assistant coach Benetti was stunned when he heard this.

Is this still the conservative old Italian man he knew?

Why did he suddenly become so open-minded?

In the past, the word "attack" would not have appeared in Ranieri's dictionary.

Then Ranieri’s words cleared up his confusion, “We have Aiello who is extremely capable of breaking through, and we also have David Silva who is skilled at his feet and has good organizational skills.

Baraja and Alberda pass threatening balls.

They are also good players.

Why can't we fight against them?

Besides, Vicente will be here next week.

He is back from injury."

But when it came to Vicente, Ranieri frowned.

Aiello and Vicente are both left wingers on the field.

It is difficult for both of them to abandon each other.

Vicente and the team The longer the running-in is, the better the coordination will be, but Aiello also has his own characteristics.

His personal breakthrough ability is top-notch, and cutting inside to hit the goal is his characteristic.

Is this considered a trouble for happiness?

Ranieri murmured to himself.

The afternoon tactics class started on time at 2:30.

Ranieri's tactical style surprised the players again.

It's not like our team's style to use violence to control the attack.

Isn't it the style of our team?

We have always relied on defensive counterattacks to win games.

Yes?

Some players are even wondering whether Ranieri, the old man, has a fever.

Ranieri's next words brought the players who were thinking about it back to reality, "I know that changing the tactics at this time is difficult for everyone to accept immediately, but I want everyone to know the meaning of using violence to fight violence.

In the first round of the game, we faced Yellow Submarine Villarreal at home.

I believe everyone here still remembers the game in the first half of the season.

Clarity, delicacy and smoothness are their characteristics, but they are also their fatal flaw."

Here he paused and drew a circle on a large open space on the projector, "What is most likely to cause goals is a quick counterattack. , when they come over, we have to deal with it carefully.

If they make a mistake and we steal the ball, what will happen to this open space?"

The players in the audience are not fools.

They immediately understood what the coach wanted to express.

After all, they are all professional teams and have a strong understanding of tactics.

Some people in the audience even secretly raised their eyebrows at Ranieri.

Thumbs up.

As a good player, who doesn’t want to attack the city but just defend and wait for opportunities to counterattack?

Well done, Tinker:
