Chapter 294 The Second Half of the Decisive Battle
Fernandez and several teammates moved around in the warm-up zone, but his eyes were still closely watching the situation on the field.

Leading consecutively but being equalized consecutively is really a big blow to morale. It is easy for players to have the discouraged idea that no matter how hard we work, the opponent will equalize in the next moment.After all, they work so hard, but they can't escape the fate of being equalized, so what's the point of their persistent efforts?
Fernandez also saw the bad situation of the team at the moment. Now Villarreal has gradually fallen into a disadvantage in the attack. If there is no change, then the opponent is likely to score again.

So adjustments and changes are imperative!
And now, Pellegrini let them these substitute players go out to activities, just to prepare for the adjustment.

"Actually, I think it's time for substitutions and adjustments."

Fernandez withdrew his gaze and said to his friend Rossi who was warming up together, "Today our two wingers played very averagely and did not provide enough support to the striker. Most of the time it was Roman who assisted from the midfield and created more opportunities. I think Some changes should be made, and some other means of attack should be added."

Rossi glanced at him, then at Fan Bizhuang on the field, and said with a half-smile: "Matthias, you are not mocking Fan's poor performance, are you?"

Fernandez shrugged and admitted frankly: "His performance is indeed not good. Compared with the right wing, Santiago has contributed more to the team than him."

"Mathias, you are my friend, but Fan is also my friend, I don't want to hear doubts about my friends, especially among teammates. Fan helped me, I am very grateful to him, he is a I am an extremely good professional player, as long as he is on the court, no one will worry about it. So, if you still regard me as a friend, take back your doubts!"

Rossi directly said "ruthless words" and ran away to warm up, obviously angry at Fernandez's "criticism" of Fan Bizhuang.

"Do you need to be angry, even if he is your friend, but I'm just talking about the facts..."

Fernandez muttered a few words, and suddenly a pair of big hands patted on his head.The old captain Josico greeted him loudly.

"Stop talking nonsense, Mathias, follow up and move your body away!"

Fernandez responded, raised his foot and was ready to move forward.At this moment, Hosico suddenly spoke again.

"Sometimes on the court, it's not just about the contribution on the surface. Many players' help to the team is invisible. It may not be so conspicuous, but it cannot be ignored. For example, as a defensive midfielder, he is a How many goals can be scored? How many assists can be made? Very little. But do you think the team does not need such a player who can't score or assist? Without a midfielder to build a barrier in front of the defense, the consequences are disastrous .”

"It's the same with Fan. You only see that he doesn't have too many wonderful performances, but you don't see that it is because of his involvement and attraction that the opponent is stretched in other defenses, which provides more for our offense. space and opportunity.”

"A team, 11 people, everyone has their own responsibilities and meanings of existence. Since they stay on the court, they have their own role. Matias, observe and feel with your heart, I hope you can truly Adapt here, fit in here."

After leaving these few words, Josico gradually ran away, while Fernandez looked at the owner of the No. 23 jersey on the field and fell into deep thought.

.....................................................................................................................

The game is still going on, and the confrontation is still going on. The two teams have completely opened up, and no one is afraid. A draw is not the result they want. They vowed to completely knock down one side before giving up.

Valencia's momentum is like a rainbow, and it becomes more confident in the counterattack.

Although Villarreal is also actively seeking offensive opportunities, the midfielder can't keep up, and the three lines gradually become out of touch.The impact of being equalized consecutively on the mentality is slowly revealed.

The more serious problem is that the team's midfield defense is gradually becoming overwhelmed.

The starting midfielder for this game is the Frenchman Leo Mavuba. Before the transfer, Mavuba was a well-known beast in the Ligue [-] league. He has accurate positioning, quick defense and a huge sweeping area. And not afraid of physical confrontation.

But when any player faces a new environment, there will be a period of adaptation. The difference is only in the length of this stage of adaptation.

It stands to reason that Mawuba must have to run in for a period of time before he can gradually increase the game time, but in this position, Villarreal's candidates are stretched, Senna is recovering, and the original substitute Pena is After transferring and leaving in the winter, the veteran Josic had to step in and take orders, and during this period of time, he carried the banner of the team's defense in the backcourt.

The introduction of Mawuba is to see the weakness of this link of the team and carry out targeted reinforcement.

As a result, two days before the game, Josico suddenly experienced discomfort in his right ankle during training. Although the team doctor checked that there was no major problem, it was just caused by fatigue, but for safety reasons, Pellegrini decided to send Hosico Section on the bench.After all, he is already a veteran close to 36 years old. At this advanced age, he has to follow the team's continuous battles, and the test of physical fitness is indeed a bit greater.

Therefore, Mawuba became the starting midfielder in the derby.

Maybe it's because of nervousness, or maybe it's because the cooperation with his teammates is not tacit enough. In short, Mawuba's performance is very average. It can't be said to be good or bad. Teammates, when he needs to defend, he is also very active.

His attitude is fine, but because he doesn't cooperate well with his teammates in defense, his activeness is often more like a headless chicken rushing indiscriminately.

And today he looks a bit weak, and his movements are extremely "gentle". In the first half, when many players of the home team were dyed yellow, his defensive midfielder, who did a lot of dirty work, was safe and sound, which is really incredible. things.

Taking cards is not a good thing, but it is quite unusual for midfielders not to take cards, especially when other teammates frequently get cards.

This is enough to prove that Mawuba is out of standard.

And this weak link also became a breakthrough for Valencia's onslaught at this time.The two teams were evenly matched before, and Villarreal could use their offense to cover up this shortcoming, but as the opponent's offensive became stronger, this shortcoming was infinitely magnified.

No. In the 705th minute, Baraja took the ball in the midfield and made a breakthrough. He easily smashed the ball to deceive Mawuba and faced the home team's defense.

Alsace yelled anxiously: "What is Mawuba doing? Is he a pig? Even a pig should know the dangerous consequences of letting the opponent go like this! Damn it, shovel him! , Bring him down! If the midfielder doesn't foul, what kind of midfielder is he called!"

The next moment, Alsace screamed again: "Fan! Fan rushed back to cover, tackle... Baraja fell! This... This should be a clean tackle, no problem! "

On the other side, Correa also yelled: "Foul! This is an obvious foul! The offender must be severely punished! No. 23 should be sent off! He destroyed an attack that was very likely to produce a goal , Heinous crime!"

On the field, Baraja was facing the goal, and when he was about to continue to advance, Fan Bizhuang returned to the defense and rushed towards him with a sliding tackle on the ground. When the football was kicked away, Baraja also fell to the ground.

The hearts of all the fans were tightened, and they all looked at the field nervously. Fan Bizhuang already had a yellow card. As soon as he becomes popular, his fate is only reason to be expelled from the game.

Baraja also knew this, so he kept rolling on the ground, showing a look of extreme pain, hoping to get the sympathy of the referee.

Fan Bizhuang got up from the ground and raised his hands high, indicating that he had scooped the ball first, and then took the opponent down.

After a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The referee signaled that the ball was fine, it was a clean defense, and urged Baraja to get up quickly.

Of course, he did not forget to warn Fan Bizhuang.

"Boy, take a little action. If your actions really hurt others, next time, I will give you a card of a different color."

Fan Bizhuang nodded, turned around and yelled at Ma Wuba: "Cheer up, Leo, defend harder. Don't be soft-footed, don't be afraid of fouls, even if you win a card, don't let your opponent go easily!" "

This was said in front of the chief referee. Fan Bizhuang was really courageous enough to instigate his teammates to use fouls to block the attack in front of the black-clothed judge.

The referee's face was not very good-looking, Fan Bizhuang saw that the situation was not good, and said to Ma Wuba, "Remember, men must be tough!", and ran away in a hurry.

The visiting team's attack failed this time, and they only got a throw-in. Because the offensive rhythm was interrupted, after the throw-in was re-issued, the home team's defense line was all in place, and they had no chance to take advantage of it. He took a long shot and dealt with it.

Pellegrini was a little disappointed with Mawuba's under-standard performance, and he was also a little frightened by Fan Bizhuang's tackle back to defense.He realized that a change must be made now, otherwise his team might lose a general because of it.

He was worried that Fan Bizhuang would get a second yellow card for assisting in the defense, which would lead to him being sent off. He had already called Josico back and was about to let him come on as a substitute, but he did not expect that after he explained to Hosico At the time, Mawuba, who had always been weak, suddenly "exploded", and his outbreak also brought huge disasters to the team.
