Chapter 604 Riquelme
Although the people in the small town prayed devoutly to God almost every day for the next week, it didn’t seem to have any effect. Sometimes, the suffering comes regardless of people’s will. Even though the parties involved have worked extremely hard, the final result still makes the people of the small town feel frustrated and hopeless.
In the penultimate round of the league, Villarreal played at home against Valencia, their derby rival in the same area.
After 10 and [-] minutes of fierce fighting, with most of the game time behind by one goal, the home team players were extremely tenacious in stoppage time, and Riquelme scored an equalizer goal.
If you only look at the record against Valencia this season, Villarreal has actually done well enough, with one win and one draw. In front of the derby rivals, they definitely have the capital to be proud.
But that's not what Villarreal and the townspeople want.They want to get three points, they want to continue to maintain their position in the top four of the standings, and they want to still be able to go to the Champions League next season, but...
The result of the match at another venue has been passed, and Atletico Madrid has won again, which means that with the last round of the league remaining, Atletico Madrid has completed the overtake in points. With an advantage of [-] points, Villarreal, who had a tie in this round, was squeezed out of the top four in the league, and he took the fourth place.
If ranked according to such points, Atletico Madrid will go to the Champions League next season, while Villarreal can only play in the UEFA Cup.
Although the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup are both stages of European competitions, their influence and attention are completely different. A very simple description, the UEFA Champions League is like the NBA in the United States, and the UEFA Cup is the CBA of China. Although the CBA is not too bad and has some appeal, if an athlete is used to playing in the high-level and high-income NBA, unless his brain is broken, he will be willing to play in the CBA.
Villarreal naturally doesn't want to play in the NBA, but many things can't be done as you want. Although the season has not yet ended completely, they also have the fourth place in the league after completing a reversal in the last round The hope of regaining it-but such hope is undoubtedly more theoretical than practical. Will Atletico Madrid give them a chance to comeback?For this, no one is optimistic about...
When the news reached the Love Song Stadium, countless sighs were heard from all sides of the stands. No one left the stadium, but it was different from the aftertaste of enjoying the victory in the past. This time, the faces of the fans were more sad and lost. .But in the end, there were still bursts of shouts and applause at the Love Song Stadium.
Although they have been squeezed to the fifth place in the league by their competitors, the league is not over yet. The last round is the team's last hope.Moreover, even if Villarreal still failed to regain the fourth position at the end of the league, so what?They were originally a small rural team. They used to fight for relegation, and then they did their best to be able to go to the European arena. Afterwards, they tasted the delicacy of the Champions League stage. It’s not bad if they can only play in the UEFA Cup. If it was a few years ago, as long as the team can go to the European arena, no matter whether it is the Champions League or the Europa League, it will be a good thing that makes people sleepless.
It's just that the only thing that makes people a little unwilling is that they have been ranked extremely high most of the time throughout the season, but at the end of the season, they were pulled down...
After the league entered the last five rounds, the team's performance was not bad, but it was almost the same. The reason why the team was defeated like a mountain, everyone knew what was going on. The team lacked energy. In other words, the soul of the team seems to have been taken away in an instant - and who that soul is is naturally self-evident.
But people in the small town did not choose to complain or blame. No matter what, that boy has done enough for this team. Without him, last season and this season, could Villarreal have dominated the team for a long time? The top four positions in the league are still unknown.The most important thing is that the boy brought them endless joy and endless pride. They are a family.
They will never speak badly to their children, or feel resentment in their hearts. All they can do is support as always, hoping that the brave and strong boy can stand up again sooner.
The love song stadium is still boiling, cheers and applause merge together, the familiar and warm ballad is also flying in the air, the players on the field, the eye sockets are unconsciously wet, and some people bow their heads in shame. With their own performance, I am sorry for the fans who have always supported them...
Fan Bizhuang's heartstrings were also touched. Standing on the sidelines, his lips moved, but in the end he didn't make any sound. He wanted to walk on the field, say something to his teammates, and wave to the fans, but in the end , he still lowered his head, turned and left.
The noisy stands, the quiet stadium, the crying players, and the lonely and desolate figure of Fan Bizhuang... When this scene caught Riquelme's eyes, he stood there with his hands on his hips, saying no in his eyes. Out of loneliness.
"It's over. My last game here is... over..."
.....................................................................................................................
For Riquelme, this is indeed his last appearance at the Ballad Stadium, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a farewell game, because after the end of this season, he will leave Villarreal and return to Argentina. At the end of his career, he will play the last remaining heat where his dream started until he retires.
He declined the club's proposal to hold a farewell ceremony for him. In fact, there is nothing to say goodbye to. He has stayed here for many years, and even if he wants to leave in the end, he does not think that he will really leave after years of accumulated feelings. , his heart will always be concerned about this place.
He can come back at any time and come back as the most loyal and die-hard fan of Villarreal. This is an alternative way to fight side by side.
In fact, in Riquelme's heart, he didn't have too many regrets. He came to the Europa Continent with a vision of a better future. After experiencing unsuccessful experiences in Barcelona, he came to a small seaside town, where , He found himself again and found the familiar feeling of playing football. Although the place is small, although it is difficult for this country team to have a great competitiveness for the championship, he feels very happy.
He feels satisfied enough to be able to play football happily and to be able to do what he likes in this warm environment with a group of like-minded teammates.
What's more, although he didn't win too many championships here, the results he achieved were not bad.They have made the whole world see the yellow storm, they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, they have won the league runner-up, so that the league champions are frightened enough by themselves who are struggling to catch up, they have defeated Real Madrid, defeated Barcelona also defeated Manchester United, and they also created the best European results in the history of the club... He and his teammates moved forward unswervingly, step by step from weak to strong, until now no one dares to be small Look at this country team.
Witnessing as a participant that a small ball will grow from weak to the point where no one can underestimate it, Riquelme is both satisfied and full of a sense of accomplishment.
But deep down in his heart, when he thought of the words that the boy whispered in his ear, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
"Roman, I think we've reached this point, there's no reason to just give up like this!"
"We will go further!"
"Champion? Why not? After the season is over, and you are leaving, I have to give you something as a souvenir."
When Fan Bizhuang uttered such words with youthful flair and confidence, Riquelme had a smile on his face. Even though he knew it would be difficult to achieve this step, he still chose to believe, and Work hard with them—even if the final result is not so good, so what, they have worked hard, they have been crazy, and they let the whole world remember their names!
only……
In a place where the dream is so close, the pace of progress has stopped abruptly, which makes people somewhat unwilling. Although Riquelme has long thought that the dream of "until the end" will stop, he never thought of it. The team will be forced to stop in such a way.
But in any case, in his last season here, he is still full of good memories. Perhaps on the day when he gets old, he will be very proud to say to the grandson surrounded by his knees, "I used to be in Billy. Arreal stayed for a long time, it is a very warm place, and it is also a good team, we work together, almost, can reach the Champions League final, almost, can get all the professional players The cup with big ears that everyone is looking forward to..."
Thinking of such a scene, Riquelme couldn't help laughing to himself.
However, after laughing, he walked towards the outskirts of the small town. He felt that he should do something, at least, he wanted to let himself go without too many regrets.
When Riquelme was standing outside the small courtyard outside the suburbs, the sky was getting dark, and the cool wind was blowing lightly, while in the courtyard, Fan Bizhuang was sitting blankly, just like many times recently Similarly, Fan Bizhuang didn't seem to be aware of anything happening around him, he just looked at a certain place and was startled for no reason.
Spring Festival is crawling at the master's feet, perhaps because it is bored, or perhaps because it feels the master's state of indifference. It is licking the master's legs over and over again with its big tongue. If it was before, Fan Bizhuang might have laughed and scolded Let it go, but at this moment, Fan Bizhuang still just looked up at the sky without any reaction.
Even when Riquelme pushed open the gate of the courtyard and walked in without hesitation, Fan Bizhuang didn't seem to see it.
PS: For some recent tangled plots and plots, I would like to express my apologies to the book friends.
In fact, in the initial setting of this book, the protagonist is a person with a big personality flaw. Through the advancement of the plot, everyone should also see that there is a hidden weakness in the protagonist's character.It is also because of this that the major changes arranged are in the hope that the protagonist can truly grow up. After understanding the true meaning of life and football, it is the time for him to fully mature and soar into the sky.
I'm really sorry for the lack of writing skills of the kicker, and the written plot may not meet everyone's expectations. I'm really sorry for this. I will humbly accept your suggestions and improve them.Thank you everyone, I can only sincerely say sorry for the discomfort caused by reading.
