Chapter 411

The embarrassing record did not end. A week later, Villarreal went to Soria, a small city in northern Spain, to face their opponent in the third round of the league, Numancia.

This is the second time the two teams have played against each other in a month.In the pre-season warm-up match, the two teams once had a confrontation.

In that farewell match that belonged to Josico, Villarreal played for a ticket, but finally defeated their opponent by a big score.

However, Numancia did not try his best in that game.They have just been promoted from the La Liga, and they are somewhat unfamiliar with the top league. The reason why they agreed to play against Villarreal is also for the purpose of testing the team.

Since it is a test, there is naturally no need to fight to the death with real knives and guns. The result of the warm-up match is whether you win or lose, and it doesn't make much sense, so they also have the attitude of "playing tickets".

But this game is different. The league is different from the warm-up match. Every point in the league will have an unexpected effect at the end of the season.

The situation is the same as that of Villarreal in the standings. In the past two rounds of the league, the current newly promoted team has won two draws and two points in the league, temporarily ranking No.14 in the standings.

For a newly promoted horse, this result is already quite good. Most importantly, the gold content of these two points is not light. You must know that in the first round of the league, Numancia faced the defending champion Real Madrid at the Bernabéu Stadium. The gap in strength between them can be said to be hundreds of thousands of miles, but they literally suffocated Real Madrid to death, allowing their opponents to fail to score a goal, thus scoring a point.

In the second round, Numancia returned home to face another giant in La Liga, Barcelona. The final score was 1:1. The newly promoted team not only scored points, but even scored goals.Although he did not win, this result is enough to make him proud.

Not every team can take advantage of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​let alone a newly promoted polo team like Numancia, even Villarreal and Atletico Madrid dare not pat their chests and say that they can win The former is guaranteed to score points.

After two league rounds, Villarreal also has two points, ranking No.15.It seems that there is not much difference, but this comparison really makes the submarine feel ashamed from top to bottom.

Is Numancia, the team that was slaughtered by them before, comparable to them?One is a newly promoted team and the other is the runner-up in the league. It can be said that the two are not at the same level.

But what about the results?

The fact is that Numancia was able to score points against Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​while Villarreal's two opponents were not very good, but they were all tied by their opponents.

This is simply a shame to throw it at grandma's house!

After two rounds of the league, Submarine, which has received a lot of doubts and criticisms, is determined to use a victory to destroy all the pressure it has been under for a while, and at the same time use a first win of the season to defend the dignity of the runner-up in the league .

It's just that people failed to meet God's will. After 10 minutes of the game, Villarreal's wish to win the first victory of the new season finally failed.

In the game, Villarreal, who was holding his breath, was obviously extremely active. After a week of rest and adjustment, the state of the main players has also recovered. firmly occupy the upper hand on the court.

But Numancia is also worthy of being a team that can draw with Real Madrid and Barcelona consecutively, full of resilience.In other words, they have become accustomed to being tempered by Real Madrid and Barcelona. Although Villarreal's attack power is very strong, it may not be comparable to the two giants of La Liga. Numancia can handle the two giants. Naturally gave them more confidence.

You were the runner-up of the league last season, you are very strong, and you even beat us strongly in the warm-up match before the season, but so what?

We are not afraid of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so why not be afraid of you?

It is precisely with this mentality that Numancia can be said to be united as one, and spare no effort to run and fight in defense. Not only does it display the magic weapon of success without any scruples, but its players are like brown sugar, and the submarine is the most powerful. Threatening several players tightly entangled.

Villarreal did everything they could, and even though they had absolute dominance on the field, they never got the opponent's goal.The best chance to score was in the 7th minute of the game. Fan Bizhuang received a pass from the winger Cazorla in the middle of the penalty area, jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal. As a result, the football hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

Missing the best scoring opportunity, Villarreal finally had to swallow the bitter pill of 0:0, and they ushered in a three-game tie in the new season.

Numancia also had three consecutive draws, but they were extremely satisfied with the result. Last season, three of the top four teams in the standings were drawn by them. To some extent, they have been extremely successful.

As for Villarreal, it was so embarrassing and ashamed that it wanted to die. Three games, three draws, and that's more than that. In the new season, they didn't even score a single goal...

After the game, the head coach of the yellow submarine, Manuel Pellegrini, attended the press conference with a livid face. During the whole process, the Chilean coach was silent and said nothing, just went through the motions, and even the reporters He refused to answer any of his questions, and strode away from the venue with his hands shaken.

The start of the season with three consecutive draws in the league made the old coach very angry.

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

The three-game tie in the league is not the worst start of the season in the history of the Villarreal club. When it was still a low-level league, or even just entered the top league, Villarreal suffered worse. At the beginning, they had an embarrassing record of only scoring one point in five rounds of the league.

But today is different from the past. Villarreal is no longer that bully in the countryside. A strong team in La Liga.

But just won the league runner-up and entered the Champions League. In the new season, they suffered three consecutive draws and the embarrassing result of not scoring a goal. This is a bit unacceptable anyway.

Pellegrini lost his temper very rarely, and all the players, including Fan Bizhuang, were severely reprimanded.

After returning to the small town, Villarreal even canceled the usual one-day vacation time, and conducted additional training for the whole team with a punitive nature.Pellegrini increased the intensity of training a lot as a punishment for the team.

Additional training and penalties are actually trivial matters. After three consecutive draws, the biggest problem facing Villarreal is the huge pressure from fans and the media.

"Villarreal is in a strange circle, and the magic of submarines is no longer there!"

"In the first three rounds of the new season, the league runner-up failed to score a single goal, a shameful record!"

"Did last season's success wear down the fighting spirit and motivation of the submariners? Three games, three draws, Villarreal is on the road to success!"

"Fan's misfire is the biggest reason for Xiaocheng's continuous invincibility. As the sharpest weapon of the team, Fan must shoulder more responsibilities, but judging from the performance of the three games, Fan wants to be the real leader of a team , he still has more ways to go!"

"The best rookie in La Liga last season, the league's assist leader, but he didn't play his due role at all! Fan's magic seems to have disappeared in the new season!"

"I doubt how Diego Forlan won the league's Golden Boot last season! After three games of mediocrity, is his Golden Boot made of water?"

"..."

The newspapers and news media in the market are full of criticisms and doubts from submarines. Among them, Fan Bizhuang and Fran are the two players who have been bombarded the most.

Needless to say, Fran, last season's league golden boots, can be described as infinite scenery, his goals one after another, as if never-ending, which made countless fans and the media full of expectations for him, looking forward to him in the new season Continue to destroy the city and pull out the stronghold for the team and create greater glories.

But the actual situation is that the Uruguayan didn't talk about it directly, and his performance on the court was even sleepwalking. If the commentator didn't mention his name on the court from time to time, it is estimated that the fans watching the game would give this La Liga golden boot to him. forget.

As for Fan Bizhuang, he was not only the best rookie king in La Liga last season, but also won the honor of the assist king in La Liga.He and Forlan can be said to be the first two people in Villarreal's limelight last season. To some extent, he shines even more.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Chinese teenager affectionately called the "King" by the fans in the small town was trained as the future leader of the team, and in the past year, he has not let the fans down.But in the new season, his performance is unsightly, not to mention no goals and no assists. In many cases, at critical moments, he also failed to stand up as a leader should.

Many fans and the media have questioned that Fan Bizhuang has lost his proper aura and magic.There are many talented players in world football every year, but there are very few who can be remembered by everyone in the end.

Fan Bizhuang in the new season can easily be thought of as a fleeting meteor.

The well-known Spanish sports newspaper "Marca" criticized it outspokenly.

"Fan's talent and quality cannot be questioned, he is an outstanding young player, if he continues, he will have an enviable bright future.

But also because he is young, he still has a lot to learn.The football world is not a game field, it is a cruel place, if you want to succeed, you have to move forward one step at a time, if you don't move forward, then you can only be doomed to be eliminated.

I think Fan should continue to improve, he still has room to grow.With the start of the new season, many teams will definitely be more familiar with Fan, and even make special arrangements for him. If he wants to continue to perform, he must work harder and observe more carefully!

Of course, in this process, Fan must strengthen his confidence!This is an essential quality for an excellent player to succeed! "

The evaluation and criticism of "Marca" is quite pertinent, while the remarks of "Aspen", another well-known newspaper in Madrid, are not so polite.

"In fact, we are not surprised at all. How many talented players suddenly rise and then fall suddenly in this world? There are too many to count? Judging from Fan's current performance, he is destined to be just a meteor.

Of course, this is not absolute.Let's wait and see his next performance. If he continues to be depressed like this, waiting for his fate will only leave everyone in the dark! "

"World Sports Daily": "Fan's performance is extremely disappointing."

"Iberia Football News": "As the core of the team, Fan must shoulder more responsibilities. Obviously, he has let people down..."

At this moment, the entire Spanish football world seems to be full of doubts and criticisms against Fan Bizhuang.
