Chapter 51: Single Knife


In response to the boos at Mestalla, Riquelme used the most perfect way to counterattack.

He sent a beautiful free kick into the Valencia goal to prove that the boos could not knock him down, they could only knock him down.

Arouse unlimited fighting spirit After scoring the goal, Riquelme ran wildly until he reached the stands of his own fans, then stopped and waved his fist towards the stands to signal: I did not let you down, I scored a goal.

"oooooooooooooooo" The visiting fans who came from Valencia's satellite city of Castellon to cheer, at that moment the cheers even tended to cover the boos of the home team.

"beep" David.

Silva kicked the ball to Ferrer in the center circle and then ran forward.

Ferrer caught the ball and rushed behind Diego.

Fran passed the ball to Baraja behind him before grabbing the ball.

Baraja received the ball and passed it directly to Albelda on the left. .

After Villarreal equalized the score, the two sides returned to a relatively balanced situation.

As a result, no one knocked on the goal before the end of the first half.

The time just reached the 45th minute, and the referee blew the whistle to end the first half without even a minute of added time.

Subsequently, Villarreal's Senna kicked the football at his feet to the referee, and the players from both sides walked from the player tunnel into their respective locker rooms, waiting for the head coach's deployment in the second half.

As usual, the referee came belatedly after the players arrived.

After following Ranieri to the locker room, Benetti closed the door of the locker room familiarly, temporarily isolating the noisy world outside from the locker room.

Ranieri first gave a high thumbs up to Aiello and said a few words of encouragement beside him, and then comforted goalkeeper Canizares, who was unhappy because he lost the ball, "Santiago, That goal conceded had nothing to do with you.

I believe even the best goalkeeper on the planet couldn't save it.

The angle was too tricky."

"I understand, sir."

Canizares was not used to being comforted.

After all, he was now an old goalkeeper over thirty years old.

Ranieri understood what Canizares wanted to express, so he smiled and patted his shoulder, and then waved to his assistant Benetti and the team members to come over because they needed to hurry up to explain the tactics of the second half. visiting team locker room The first thing Chilean Pellegrini did when he entered the locker room was to praise the goal scorer Riquelme, "Roman, your goal just now was really great.

It was absolutely blind.

Even the best goalkeeper in the world."

You are the only one who can't save the football.

You are different.

Only a genius can continue to play like this in the second half.

Come on, you can do it."

Riquelme accepted the praise from the head coach without a blush or a heartbeat.

In his mind, since the coach praised him so shamelessly, is it necessary for him to blush and feel sorry?

Later, Pellegrini also encouraged other players who fought bloody hard in the first half.

Then, with the hint and reminder from his assistant, he ended his praise and entered into the tactical arrangements for the second half.

Pellegrini's tactical idea is to make the offense three-dimensional.

The midfield and backfield do not stick to the ball.

The midfielder and frontfield rely on Riquelme's personal ability to thread the needle, thereby achieving the physicalization of the offense.

"Are you confident of winning Valencia in this game?"

After Pellegrini finished speaking, he clapped his hands vigorously and said to the players.

"Confidence" The players had already been inspired to fight high and immediately clapped along with the head coach.

The second half has not yet started, and the players on both sides are waiting for the referee's whistle.

"beep" "With the referee's whistle, the second half of the 26th round of the 0405 La Liga season between Valencia and Villarreal officially began" The visiting team's Riquelme was well-known, so Baraja followed him all the time, not allowing him to catch the ball easily or pass the ball comfortably.

There was Marchena not far away eyeing him.

Diego Forlan is not much better.

The Argentinian Ayala is always beside him.

When receiving the ball, he will always kneel his thigh intentionally or unintentionally, or pull the jersey, which makes him feel The feeling of being unable to exert force.

Standing on the sideline, Pellegrini saw the performance of the players on the field and was thinking: "Should I be the first to make adjustments?"

Then he turned and looked at the bench until a small On the taller person: "Santiago is going to warm up and will be back in five minutes."

Cazorla was instinctively stunned when his name was called.

The teammate next to him nudged him with his elbow as if he hated steel.

Only then did he react.

"Okay, Mr.

Coach" immediately pulled on the thick clothes on his body.

I put on my cotton-padded jacket and ran to the warm-up area.

When Ranieri looked towards the field, he caught sight of the movements in the coaching bench next door.

It looked like he was going to be the first to make adjustments, so he also looked towards the bench, but quickly shook his head.

It can be said that there is no one to replace.

The two wingers on the field, David Silva and Aiello, are in good condition, and the center Ferrer's fulcrum has an obvious role, and the three midfielders cannot be replaced.

Now the team's strongest defensive midfielders are Marchena and captain Baraja, and Albelda is more balanced, but obviously these three None of them can be replaced, let alone the back line, unless there is an injury.

I go Damn injuries In the 55th minute, as David Silva's shot from outside the penalty area flew out of the baseline, the referee pointed to the sideline of the center circle, and the fourth assistant referee had already raised the substitution sign.

Villarreal took the lead in making adjustments.

No. 19 Cazorla replaces No. 16 defensive midfielder Contre Home team coaching bench Benetti frowned, walked to Ranieri who was standing on the sideline, opened the information in his hand and showed it to Ranieri.

Um Santiago Cazorla can play as a winger or full midfielder.

He has a flexible body, outstanding speed, and excellent passing skills.

Ranieri's brows immediately tightened.

It seemed that the Chilean Pellegrini was not willing to take away only one point in the away game.

This substitution was very obvious.

He strengthened the wing attack and made Villarreal's offense more powerful.

More three-dimensional, getting rid of the situation of relying only on Riquelme's personal ability, looked at the bench again, and shook his head in disappointment again.

No one can replace Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Ranieri took the opportunity to call captain Baraja for a brief face-to-face instruction, asking the team to pay attention to the newly replaced little man on the wing.

But the effect is not very obvious yet.

In the 59th minute, Villarreal got an excellent opportunity.

After Senna cut off the football from Albelda's feet in the middle, he did not stick to the ball and immediately passed it to Riquelme not far in front of him.

After receiving the ball, Riquelme saw Baraja immediately stepping forward to defend and prepare to steal the ball.

He moved his body horizontally and cut between Baraja and the football, preventing him from trying to steal the ball.

At the same time, when he saw his teammate Senna stepping forward, he passed the ball directly without hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Senna observed the situation on the field and saw a teammate on the right asking for the ball.

He also looked at Riquelme who was being closely watched, so he passed a ball more than 20 meters away without hesitation.

A mid- to long-distance pass, the football flew to the right, and was then picked up by Cazorla who had just come on.

Since the eyes of both defensive midfielders in the midfield are attracted by Riquelme, Aurelio is currently the only defensive player on the wing.

Cazorla intends to take the ball and single out Aurelio, using his dexterity With his body and extraordinary skills, he easily passed his opponents.

Facing the newly replaced small player, Aurelio looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

His entire facial expression was that of looking down on Cazorla, but he was stunned the next second.

That's right, I was stunned He was detained by Cazorla with a simple fake fax After Cazor pulled Aurelio, in front of him was Navarro, who hurriedly came over to cover up the defense.

Just as he was about to repeat his same trick, he saw a white figure advancing at high speed from the corner of his eye, and without hesitation, he used the outside of his right instep.

Pass the ball into a vacuum. ooooooooooooooooo The Valencia fans in the stands stood up and screamed.

Because it was clearest from their point of view that Villarreal’s number nine was running in that direction.

At this time, Canizares also attacked Sure enough, Diego Forlan caught the football a second later, adjusted slightly, and shot the football out with the arch of his foot before Canizares struck.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Deafening boos erupted from the stands.

Perhaps it was because the noise decibels at the scene were too high, which led to Diego Forlan not controlling his footwork when shooting.

Although the ball bypassed Canizares's hands, it also bypassed the goal.

The football almost rolled out of the baseline against the right upright.

Valencia just dodged a bullet.

As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later.

Sure enough, in the 66th minute of the game, Marchena predicted in advance at the front of the penalty area, intercepted the ball before Diego Forlan could catch it, and then passed it to Baraja without hesitation. , Baraja passed the ball directly to Albelda.

After receiving the ball, Albelda dunked Riquelme, who stepped forward to grab the ball, with a simple fake fax dunk.

If Riquelme's extraordinary skills are at the international level, then his defensive level can only be at the bottom.

He was third-rate, so it was normal for him to be easily dunked by Albelda.

Albelda did not continue dribbling the ball after passing Riquelme.

When he saw a figure on the left side of the center circle waving for the ball, he passed the ball directly with the arch of his foot, but the force was a little stronger.

Although the pass was a bit big, Aiello took advantage of the power of the pass and repeated his trick to pass the reckless right back with ease.

Time waits for no one, and he quickly pushed the ball about five meters, and rushed out like a rocket before Senna fouled him.

Although he staggered a little, he slowly adjusted himself while running, and then accelerated. advance Accelerate and accelerate again Villarreal's center back thought that Aiello was going to continue to break through, so he immediately wanted to run over and use a foul to end the opponent's attack, but he ignored the position he lost by stepping forward so rashly.

When Ai Luo saw him stepping forward to defend, the corner of his mouth curled up, and without hesitation, he directly passed a long pass from 30 meters away.

He did not stop after passing the ball, but continued to penetrate diagonally into the penalty area. wooooooooooooooooooo After Aiello passed the ball, the cheers in the stands were deafening again.

Because they saw it most clearly, there was only one Valencia player wearing the orange jersey No. 29 in the flight path of the football.

This made their blood boil because there was no defender within ten meters of him.

He was completely single-minded:
