Big back

Chapter 528

In all fairness, in this game, Villarreal's overall performance was pretty good. Although it was an away game, they kept suppressing the home team for most of the time, regardless of the situation of the game. Both the game and the scene occupy a lot of initiative.

The only fly in the ointment is that Fan Bizhuang's state is still sluggish. He makes mistakes from time to time in the process of passing and receiving the ball.What's more serious is that Villarreal once won a penalty kick in the game, which was almost a chance to score, but Fan Bizhuang kicked the ball into the stands.

As I said before, the current Van Bizhuang can be regarded as a barometer of Villarreal. The whole team revolves around him for offensive and tactical coordination, saying that the submarine has "Van Bizhuang dependence". It is not an exaggeration at all, if his condition is good, the submarine will be in every position, but if his condition is not good, then the submarine is likely to encounter a major crisis.

Some fans and the media questioned this before, but Fan Bizhuang's competitive state has always been very good, which made everyone ignore this point intentionally or unintentionally, but in two consecutive games, Fan Bizhuang suddenly looked like It's because he became incapable of playing football, which directly led to Villarreal's offensive in the game. Everyone is aware of a problem. With Fan Bizhuang in poor condition, Villarreal Can Real continue to keep the pressure on Barcelona at the top of the league table?
Of course, what is even more intriguing is how long will Fan Bizhuang's downturn last?
After two consecutive rounds of invincibility, the media was full of accusations and criticisms.

"What happened? Why did Fan suddenly look like he can't play football?"

"His magic, his magic, his omnipotence, seem to have disappeared overnight!"

"Fan encountered the biggest dilemma after becoming famous, and Villarreal was also dragged down because of this. He is the main culprit for the team's two rounds of victories!"

"What happened to Fan? Could it be that the common problems of young players also happened to this magical boy? When he is in good shape, he is omnipotent like a god of war. When he is in bad shape, he is just a bunch of dogs... Shit? Fan will become the biggest nerve knife in La Liga?"

Although there are endless discussions from the outside world, all kinds of speculation and doubts with good intentions are rampant, but inside the Villarreal team, the players don't feel much. Fan Bizhuang's ability is already here. It took more than two years to get the best proof, and his teammates will not doubt him. After all, no professional player has a low period. On the court, under the influence of many factors, it is normal for the state to fluctuate. It is not easy for Fan Bizhuang to maintain a high level for two years. In the previous games, Fan Bizhuang Zhuang also encountered such a problem for a short time, but it doesn't matter. As long as he makes proper adjustments, I believe he can quickly get out of the downturn and haze.

The teammates all sent encouragement and blessings to Fan Bizhuang, and none of them took the doubts and criticisms of the outside world to heart, except for one person, that is Riquelme.He faintly felt something, how deep Fan Bizhuang's feelings for the head coach were, he couldn't be more clear, what happened in the head coach's office before, he thought it was over, but now it seems that Fan Bizhuang's heart is still there It was a thorn. Obviously, this thorn has affected Fan Bizhuang's normal performance in the game.

Riquelme felt that it was necessary for him to have a good talk with Fan Bizhuang.

So after the day's daily training ended, Riquelme stopped Fan Bizhuang, and the two stayed on the training ground again.It’s been a while since the two coached like this. Ever since he came out of Pellegrini’s office that day, Fan Bizhuang rarely left the training ground after training. No additional training was performed.

"We haven't practiced together for almost half a month, Fan? That guy Diego even asked me in private, did you encounter something that didn't go your way, or did you say you didn't want him to be your friend?" Exclusive training goalkeeper. I told him, there is no such thing... But I think, you have to talk to him, it is best to ask him to practice with him tomorrow, otherwise, the boy does not know what kind of strange things will happen Weird association."

Riquelme said in a pretendingly relaxed tone, he bumped the football on the ground with his feet, bouncing the ball back and forth skillfully and smoothly.

When he did this in the past, Van Bizhuang would take a few steps back and wait for Riquelme to pass the ball, he completed the alley-oop, and then bounced on his feet, but this time, Riquelme Kerme kicked the football over. Fan Bizhuang didn't back up, nor stretched out his feet to complete the relay. The football fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and rolled towards the distance.

Fan Bizhuang didn't go to watch the football, but just stood there, staring at Riquelme fixedly, then turned and left without saying a word.

"..."

Riquelme felt like punching cotton, but he still shouted at his back unwillingly, "Aren't you going to say something?"

"I'm tired, Roman."

Fan Bizhuang stopped, but did not turn around. Riquelme couldn't see the expression on his face, "I know what you want to tell me. What I want to say is, don't worry, I'm fine, There's nothing wrong with that. I just want to be alone and think things through."

"How long do you want to think?"

"I don't know, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or maybe it will take longer, who knows."

Leaving this sentence behind, Fan Bizhuang stepped forward again, drifting away.

Riquelme shook his head helplessly. He also had no choice but to meet Fan Bizhuang, who was as smelly and hard as a rock.Everything can only depend on Fan Bizhuang himself, and others can't help him.

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

Riquelme felt that his worries were a little unnecessary. In the next few days, although Fan Bizhuang was still silent, his attitude and energy in training were full.

On the weekend, Fan Bizhuang seemed to be responding to the media's doubts and attacks on him. He was extremely active in the game against Sporting Gijon, and his state seemed to have returned to the standard. In this game, he First, he assisted Forlan to score the leading goal in the first half, and in the second half, he used a long shot and a free kick to score directly, scoring two goals in a row, and finally helped the team easily win 3-0 at home. opponent.

Fan Bizhuang was elected as the MVP of the game after the game. Holding the champagne given to him by the organizing committee, he happily accepted the interviews from various reporters.

This made all the teammates feel relieved, feeling that Fan Bizhuang had stepped out of the trough.Riquelme felt that something was wrong, but it was a good thing for the team to win. Fan Bizhuang's data of two shots and one pass also confirmed that his state was fine, so he stopped thinking about it.

Three days later, the flames of the European competition were ignited again, and the whole team of Villarreal went to Athens, the capital of Greece. The first round of a knockout round.

The results of the draw for the eighth knockout round have already come out. It has to be said that Villarreal's luck is so good that it is enviable. Bravery, Villarreal took the top spot in the group with all their strength. They thought they would encounter a European powerhouse in the knockout round, but they didn't expect to hit the big luck. They met the No. 2, Panathinaikos from Greece.

This is really good luck. In the previous group stage of Group B, Panathinaikos scored two losses and three wins in the first five group matches, and temporarily ranked first in the group. Even Inter Milan The traditional European giants are all under their pressure. In the last round of facing the weakest opponent in the group, Alososi, Panathinaikos was surprised when he won the first place in the group after a tie. After losing the game, they were overtaken by Inter Milan in points and could only qualify as the second place in Group B.

According to normal circumstances, the opponent Villarreal should face should be Inter Milan, which is not an easy opponent to deal with. Even if they stumbled in the Champions League group stage this season, there are still three nails in the broken ship. It is a giant, and it is almost impossible for Villarreal to successfully advance without paying two hard battles.

Unexpectedly, Panathinaikos killed himself and made himself second in Group B, which allowed Villarreal to pick up a big deal-they really thanked the Greek champion , although few teams that can enter the knockout stage of the Champions League are soft persimmons, relatively speaking, Panathenaics is undoubtedly the type with lower strength among the [-] teams that have successfully advanced. Greatly increased the possibility of Villarreal going one step further.

Of course, the increased hope of promotion does not mean that the final result must be that Villarreal successfully advances to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Anything can happen on the football field, and what Villarreal has to do is Go all out to minimize the possibility of accidents.

All the members of Villarreal who arrived in Greece stayed at the Hilton Hotel in the city center. The name is so long, I'm desperate too!) for acclimatization.

After nearly two hours of training, the entire Villarreal team returned to the hotel. To the surprise of Fan Bizhuang and others, they saw a familiar face in the hotel lobby.

"Long time no see, my friends."

Abarina stood by the side of the service desk, looking at the old guys walking towards him, smiling brightly.
