Chapter 546 Champions League quarter-final opponent: Gunners!

"Fan! I heard that you are going to join the Spanish national team? Ha, what a wise choice. I look forward to competing with you in the World Cup!"

"The world is already so difficult, why bother...well, playing alongside you in the club, but to think that in international competitions, we will have the opportunity to be rivals and compete on the same field, it is really a challenge. Just thinking about it makes me feel an exciting and novel experience!"

"Ha, I don't even know where your excitement comes from! Fan is a pervert. If you compete with him, aren't you afraid that you will be tortured to pieces by him? Hahaha, of course, you can interpret these words as gloating, Because... in the national team, Fan Hui and I are still teammates, and if we join forces, we will make you scumbags ashamed! Don't you think so, Fan?"

"Yo yo yo, what are you doing, no matter how good Fan is, it has nothing to do with you! Ha, but having said that, with Fan's ability, he should have entered the national team a long time ago! That's it, Fan becomes a matador This team must be stronger! I declare that the winner of the Hercules Cup for 10 is...Spain! The best scorer and best player is...Fan!"

"Hahaha, are you playing FIFA? Isn't this award too low? Hahahaha!"

Three days have passed since the national team friendly match between Spain and Belgium, and the team has also regrouped. At this time, on the training ground, the players are gathering together, talking loudly and enthusiastically.

In the past, everyone would tell about the experience of the national team, or discuss their respective performances in the game, but today they changed the topic, which was to tease Fan Bizhuang.

Fan Bizhuang's ability has been convinced by everyone. In the past two years, Fan Bizhuang has gradually grown into the absolute core of the team. In the eyes of the players, his strength should have been revealed long ago. Even if it is the new European champion Spain, Fan Bizhuang has the ability to lock in a main position in the national team jersey.

However, for a long time, Fan Bizhuang seldom talked about whether to join the national team, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that this time the big guys just went back to their respective national teams, and the media revealed that The news that Fan Bizhuang is about to accept Bosque's invitation to join the Matador Corps inevitably made all the players excited.

Thinking of the possibility of encountering Fan Bizhuang's Spain in future international competitions, this is really a novel and exciting experience for them.

After all, I have been a teammate for so long, it is also very good to have a different taste and experience.

Some of the players congratulated Fan Bizhuang, while others were joking. Nihat even confidently said that if he meets Spain in the future, he will lead Turkey to teach Fan Bizhuang a lesson. .

This resonated with many players, and they all said that in addition to fighting side by side with Fan Bizhuang in the league, they will have an additional task, which is to serve as "snipers" in international competitions, and attack Fan Bizhuang and others. national team.

Fan Bizhuang chatted and laughed with the big guy, then followed Riquelme to the side.

"Are you sure you want to join the Spanish team? What about China?"

Riquelme sat down on the turf and asked a seemingly casual question.The relationship between him and Fan Bizhuang is very close. He is both a teacher and a friend. He also knows Fan Bizhuang's situation very well. He knows that Fan Bizhuang has always been hesitating between the Chinese team and the Spanish team. , This time, such news was exposed in the media, and Fan Bizhuang did not deny it. In this way, Fan Bizhuang had indeed made a decision.

"Cold it."

Fan Bizhuang made a rare joke. It seemed that after making a decision in his heart, he felt a lot more relaxed.He smiled and said: "Vincent and his team are indeed very sincere. Spain is also a world-class team. It seems that I have no reason to refuse to pursue the highest honor in football with such a team."

After a pause, Fan Bizhuang continued: "Actually, after thinking about it carefully, the other side doesn't seem to have any interest in me, and has never had any intention of recruiting me back. On the other side, it is Compared with Spain, which is strong and full of sincerity, I think it is better to join Matador. After all, I have lived in this country from birth to now, and I have an EU passport. It is not an exaggeration to work for them. "

Riquelme looked at him with a half-smile: "I know a little about China. It is a country with a large population. So, aren't you afraid of being criticized by so many Chinese fans?"

"Not afraid." Fan Bizhuang shook his head solemnly, "Spain and China are not that close. Even if there are fans who are dissatisfied, at most they can vent their anger on the Internet. Can't find my people."

Riquelme was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He stared closely at Fan Bizhuang: "I really didn't realize that you also have such a thick-skinned side. Fan, you are really different from before. change."

"is it?"

Fan Bizhuang pouted.

"Of course." Riquelme's eyes showed a look of memory, "Time flies so fast, I still remember that when you first came here two years ago, you were different from many young newcomers. Others are trembling, worried that they won't be able to integrate and communicate well with their teammates. As for you, you look like you don't care about anything, and your face is even more indifferent and arrogant. It stands to reason that a guy like you who doesn't fit in well, It is difficult to integrate into the team quickly, but you have a good relationship with everyone, and you are quickly recognized by everyone... This is what surprised me. You know, you are a dead man Face often makes people grit their teeth with hatred, but who let this be your temper and character? However, haven’t you noticed that there has been a lot of change between you now and before? You talk more, and you Laughed a lot, like now, and occasionally cracked some hilarious jokes..."

"So..." Fan Bizhuang nodded, thinking of Vilanova and Enrique, "Maybe there is a change. Someone said something similar to me before. This is not bad, it should be a good change." Bar."

"It is indeed a good change." Riquelme said with a smile, "I have never doubted your ability. It is inevitable for you to join the national team. In fact, I was very worried before you joined the national team. It is difficult to compete with the national team. Teammates communicate together, after all your temper and character... It is different from our big family outside. But now I am not worried, your changes are very good, I believe that no matter where you are, you will quickly integrate into the team middle."

"Thank you for your affirmation. Are you using your own experience to warn me?"

"..."

Riquelme was stunned again, with a dumbfounding expression on his face.Riquelme is known as the last classical football master in modern football. His ability is beyond doubt, but his character also has flaws, that is, he is too low-key and taciturn.

His football style is doomed to give full play to his ability, the whole team must establish him as the core. The reason why Villarreal's performance was stable in the past few years is because the whole team cooperated with him , around him for tactical play.

But in the national team, it is very difficult to do this.The Argentine team is full of superstars. Although Riquelme has the core strength, he does not have the core temperament. Coupled with his slow style of play and introverted personality, he cannot persuade other teammates at all. Can really integrate into the big collective of Argentina.

This also led to the unsatisfactory performance of the national team, and Riquelme also became a "back-up man", and finally had to publicly announce his withdrawal from the national team.

Therefore, in a national team, the players in the team are all outstanding players from various clubs. It is not an easy task to successfully gain a foothold in it, and even assume the role of core leader.

It is very important to fully integrate into the team, otherwise, you may be like Riquelme, who is capable but unable to play, let alone play a good leadership role.

However, Fan Bizhuang raised it so bluntly, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit like sprinkling salt on the wound, which pot does not open and which pot to lift?

"You bastard boy!"

Riquelme scolded angrily, then shook his head and smiled, "Anyway, you can figure it out yourself, you are a very smart guy, don't follow my old path. You will go further .”

"kindness."

Fan Bizhuang nodded solemnly.

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

The team returned to the intense preparations again, and this time, their focus of preparations shifted to the European competition.

Ten days after the end of the national team's match, the flames of the European war will be rekindled. Villarreal's opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League is the giants from the Premier League, Arsenal, known as the arsenal.

Because it is the guest first, so they have to go to London, England two days in advance.

However, before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, they have to go through a La Liga game.

First, I have experienced the national team's competition, then I have to deal with the league, and then I have to travel to England. This kind of schedule is extremely unfavorable to Villarreal. At least it is a severe test for the players' physical fitness and spirit. .

Out of the consideration of preserving strength and physical fitness, Pellegrini almost sent most of the substitutes and young players to deal with the away game against Almeria in the ninth round of No.20 in the league.

In this game, after leading by one goal in the first half, in the second half, Villarreal exposed the shortcomings of the instability of young players. In the second half, the home team scored two goals in a row, and finally lost the league.

Although losing is not a happy thing, Pellegrini and his team can't control the league situation for the time being. All their focus and energy are concentrated on their opponents in the Champions League.
