Big back

Chapter 189 Fran's Hat-Trick
Riquelme's wonderful performance made the tens of thousands of spectators feel intoxicated in a wonderful concert. There were no cheers and screams, only watching intently and softly applauding. The fans were afraid of disturbing A grand event for this artistic football master.

However, Fan Bizhuang didn't pay attention to the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, and his attention was on the edge of the penalty area, where Riquelme's figure appeared.

After passing consecutive passes, Riquelme actively mobilized all his teammates around him. In a counterattack, Riquelme passed the ball quickly, simply and directly, and cooperated with his teammates constantly. The football was passed to the front of the penalty area , and he himself followed closely.

Fran pulled out of the penalty area to set a screen for him and pulled away a defender in front of him. Riquelme did not hesitate, barely glanced at the goal, swung his right leg in place, and the football rose from the ground.

The speed of the ball is not fast, but the angle is extremely tricky.

After a semicircular arc, the football penetrated like a scimitar into the intersection of the beam and the column in the upper left corner of the goal, a real theoretical dead corner. The old Portuguese goalkeeper Ricardo leaped in the air, but it was in vain. On the contrary, his movement in mid-air is more like a background picture, the best foil for Riquelme's wonderful goal.

4: 0!

The audience was silent, and then there was a tsunami of cheers and roars, shouts of "Roman!" Open up as much as you can.

"Roman! Roman! Roman... Riquelme!" Alsace shouted Riquelme's name excitedly, then he calmed down, with a sad and complicated expression on his face, and said with emotion, "Many people It is said that Roman is old and the team's performance was not good last season. Some people even put the blame on Roman, thinking that his old age has dragged down the whole team. Yes, we have to admit that no matter how good a player is, there will be One day we are getting old, but there are also our stories in their youth, which is worth remembering and respecting. , even if one day he doesn’t stay here anymore, just like today, I hope everyone can remember his goal, remember here, there used to be a player named...Roman Riquelme!"

Speaking of this, Alsace, who has always been known for his passionate and sharp style, suddenly choked up, and he didn't care about the tears at the corners of his eyes, letting them fall.His father, a local resident of Villarreal, was naturally a die-hard supporter of submarines, as was his grandfather, and the family had been there for generations.

Alsace, who has been fascinated since he was a child, is naturally proud of being a fan of the small town. He has worked here for many years, and there are many players who have come and gone. He thanked every player who came here, Even if the other party stayed for a short time, he was still grateful.

This is his youth, this is his story, and every person who appears in his story is a memory worth cherishing.

The same goes for Romain Riquelme.He still remembers how high-spirited Riquelme was when he came here, he still remembered Riquelme playing tricks on his opponents with graceful dance steps, he also remembered Riquelme's precise passes straight into the opponent's heart, and he remembered every time Once Riquelme scored a goal, the fans shouted his name excitedly.

Yes, Riquelme is getting old, but he is still Roman, the legend that will never fade in his memory!

This is the best Riquelme, ever!
"Let us once again give a standing ovation to such a respectable veteran. He is a legend, a real legend. It doesn't matter what others think. He has brought us happiness. Here, he is forever...a legend!"

Alsace stood up and applauded vigorously, and all the fans in the stands also stood up and clapped frantically.

The applause shook the sky, like a wave, endless.

Mr. Ruben was also clapping constantly on the sidelines. Riquelme has played for the team for many years, but every time he saw his pass or goal, Ruben would jump up from his seat and cheer for him. Applause for it.In his heart, Riquelme is the best player in the world, the best midfield master!

Suddenly, Mr. Ruben turned his head, and he found that coach Pellegrini was watching him closely. He knew that his immediate boss had something to say.

"How are Roman's contract extension negotiations going?"

Riquelme's contract period will expire after the end of this season, and the club has already started negotiations with him to renew his contract. However, Riquelme's competitive state has declined with age in the past two years, especially Last season, Riquelme's performance was up and down, which changed the minds of many high-level clubs. They are willing to provide Riquelme with a new contract, but it is not that urgent. For them , Riquelme is getting old, and his value is not too much. He is kept because of the praise and affirmation of those who have made contributions to the club.

Riquelme is also aware of this. He also has deep feelings for Villarreal. If possible, he is willing to play here until the team does not need him. He will choose to hang up his boots here.But the team is only willing to offer him a one-year contract. He feels that even if his competitive state declines, it will not be a problem to play for at least two or three years. What he wants is a contract that lasts at least two years.

The two sides have been unable to reach a consensus on this point, and the contract renewal negotiations have been progressing very slowly. Riquelme has even revealed that he will transfer back to South America as a free agent this season.

Pellegrini is not too concerned about the renewal of the player's contract, but at this time, he suddenly raised such a question, which caught Mr. Ruben by surprise.

With a wry smile, Mr. Ruben shook his head and responded: "It's not very ideal. Roman didn't accept the new contract offered by the club."

Pellegrini nodded. He was just talking about the dispute between Riquelme and the club, but he didn't make it clear, but gave his opinion very directly: "Keep him."

Pellegrini suddenly realized a fact. It is true that now that Riquelme is getting older and his competitive state is gradually declining, but looking at the entire team, there is really no one who can replace him. Most importantly, The younger generation has not yet fully grown up. With an experienced veteran like Riquelme, not only can he take the lead and stabilize the morale of the army, but also, young players can also learn more from their predecessors. An invaluable asset.

Another point is that the new season has already started seven rounds. Even if Riquelme's level is not at the peak, it is not bad. His contribution to the team is also extremely huge.Based on this alone, it is worth the club going all out to keep it.

"But Roman, he seems to be very disappointed with the club and seems to want to go back to Argentina..." Although Mr. Ruben is the assistant coach of the team, he is actually a fan of Riquelme. He was very excited to strongly demand that the other party stay, but then he thought of the difficulty and hesitated, "He may not want to renew the contract."

Pellegrini didn't look at him again, and just said, "That's your business, I only ask for one thing, keep him!"

Pellegrini's words were a bit blunt, but Mr. Ruben's mind was extremely excited. The prestige of his immediate boss in the club is beyond doubt. When he opened his mouth, all club executives had to sell face, which meant Therefore, Riquelme is likely to continue to stay at the Love Song Stadium.

"well!!"

Mr. Ruben nodded excitedly.

On the field, the game is still going on.

Riquelme's icing on the cake goal is tantamount to giving the opponent a heavy punch, but Osasuna is probably also a cockroach. No matter how big the score is behind, they will not be discouraged. Their counterattack is still going on.

And their efforts finally paid off. In the No.70 and No.705 minutes, Osasuna scored a goal each from forwards Portillo and Pantiani to tie the score to 4:2.

Scoring two goals in a row within 4 minutes is a great boost to morale, and it also gives the players of the visiting team the hope of scoring points-although the possibility of this hope is very small, since they can score within 4 minutes Scored two goals, so who can say, they can't score two more goals in the remaining game time.

Osasuna's offensive momentum was even stronger, but the reality gave them a slap in the face. No.80 minutes, Fan Bizhuang finally ushered in the best scoring opportunity of the game. He asked the defensive player in the middle , dribbled the ball to the penalty area line, and then volleyed vigorously, blasting the football towards the goal.

His scoring luck was indeed a bit poor today, and Fran was destined to be the biggest focus of the game. Fan Bizhuang's shot was saved by Ricardo and hit the post. Fran followed up and successfully picked up the miss. , a light push, the football rolled into the net, the score became 5:2, and Forlan staged a hat-trick of the game.

This is Forlan's ninth league goal this season, averaging more than one per game. This goal efficiency is simply amazing.This is more than that. Following his hat-trick against Athletic Bilbao in the last round of the league, Fran put on another hat without hesitation. He scored six goals in two consecutive games. La Liga history is rare.

Huge cheers erupted from the Love Song Stadium, and the excited Fran took off his jersey, roaring fieryly under the billboard like crazy.

Fan Bizhuang was so depressed that his face almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum. Such a good scoring opportunity ended up hitting the goalpost. Today's goal luck really hit grandma's house.
