Chapter 382: The Battle for the Top of the List (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
It is rumored that after learning that Ibiza coach Fang Jue defended himself, the anxious Real Madrid coach Bernd. Mr. Schumer once lamented to his close friend that Fang Jue was a good man.
After the two legs of the fourth round of the Spanish Copa del Rey, the next round of 16 matchups have also been revealed.
Interestingly, Ibiza drew the Spanish third-division side Real Federation, who had just eliminated Real Madrid.
Regarding the result of this draw, the Madrid media "As" criticized that Ibiza was taken care of by the Spanish Football Federation, which is tantamount to guaranteeing Ibiza to the quarterfinals.
Fang Jue directly snorted the "As" newspaper, he directly asked, those who say that Ibiza is taken care of are blind, the Royal Federation is not a weak team, they have just eliminated the strong team of Real Madrid!
The newspaper Ace was silent.
This is also a lack of brains before speaking, and let Fang Jue scold on the pole.
"A real battle for the top of the list!"
Ahead of the match between Ibiza and Villarreal, the Spanish newspaper Radio Serre used this title to describe the match.
Ibiza are 1st in the league with 26 points; Villarreal are 2nd in the league with 24 points; Behind the two teams are Barcelona with 22 points and Real Madrid with 20 points.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are four and six points behind Ibiza respectively.
In the 11th round of the league, the top two teams are not either between Real Madrid and Barcelona, something that has not happened in La Liga in the last decade.
In his pre-match press conference, Fang Jue praised the opponent of the match, and he praised Villarreal for their defensive work.
'Obviously, it's a very difficult team to score, they're the team that concedes the fewest goals in La Liga and it's going to be tough for us to score goals in this game.
For Villarreal head coach Manuel. Pellegrini, Fang Jue is full of praise, "He is an example for me to follow, this is definitely not a compliment, before I became the manager, I watched him lead Villarreal to the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup in front of the TV, that is, I can't imagine that in a few years I will lead the team to play against Villarreal." ”
Fang Jue's words won the favor of Pellegrini, and he felt that this young junior was very polite and very good.
"No, no, no, I should say that I am fascinated by Ibiza, Coach Fang Jue has built a fascinating team, I have carefully studied the game of Ibiza, and every time I study it, I have to praise it." Pellegrini was clearly a gentleman, and Fang Jue praised him, and he reciprocated.
The people who ate melons were stunned, and it was not that there was no media who wanted to lead the game before the game, but these two head coaches didn't pay attention to those at all, and they actually made such a scene of sympathy for each other, which really disappointed many people.
Before the start of the game, Atletico Ibiza stadium, the home team dressing room.
"Villarreal is very stable, but the more teams like this, if the situation is unfavorable, once they lose, they will collapse in the short term."
"In this game, I have only one request, to win the game!"
"Go up, go and kick me in the ass of Chile's big nose." Fang Jue shouted as he pointed to the door of the locker room.
Meanwhile, in the away team's locker room.
"Real Madrid is starting to mess up inside, Barcelona side, Pep Guardiola's team is still young, this is our best chance!"
"Lads, champions, it's not impossible."
"But now we have an obstacle in our way."
"Win the game, take out Ibiza, tell this young team with your actions, tell that young guy that he was just lucky not to touch us before." Manuel Pellegrini is not actually a coach who is good at passionate motivational speeches, but when he said it today, he was full of emotion, enthusiasm and energy.
……
The game has already started and Fang Jue is sitting in the dugout, he is studying Villarreal's starting lineup for today.
Today's starting goalkeeper for 'Yellow Submarine' was Diego. López, this is not unexpected, this excellent goalkeeper produced by Real Madrid Castilla, has not been on the rise of Real Madrid, and has been Villarreal's main goalkeeper since joining Villarreal a year and a half ago.
At the back, Fang Jue focused on Villarreal's young Uruguayan defender Godin, the 22-year-old defender who was Villarreal's new star at the back and was the best player in La Liga in October.
In addition, in the midfield, Villarreal player Senna is also the object of Fang Jue's attention, this Brazilian Spaniard, good skills, Brazilian's skills make Senna very characteristic when tackles, his interception action is not big but the effect is very good, which makes Senna rarely eat cards, in addition, when Senna presses, there is also organizational ability, he is good at defense He also has a long-range shot, this player is difficult to entangle at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Fang Jue even felt that if Real Madrid had Senna, it would be much more difficult for him to win at the Bernabeu, who was much harder and more honest than Las Diarra.
In addition, Cazorla in the front field is also very strong, and the Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi in the front line has also been in excellent form recently, so it should be noted.
The match between Ibiza and Villarreal was played earlier, with Real Madrid's match against Valladolid and Barcelona's match against Huelva both following this match.
For this battle for the top spot, Madrid and Barcelona are also paying attention.
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola previously said in an interview with the media that he has little interest in this game, and Barcelona just needs to do their best.
At this moment, on the side of Barcelona, which is the latest game in this round, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola summoned the whole team to watch the game.
Well, Pep Guardiola is not interested in this game, he is just interested in the other side.
After the start of the game, Villarreal played very actively away from home, which meant that they were anti-guest-oriented.
"What do you think?" Pep Guardiola asked his coaching staff.
'Manuel Pellegrini wants to play instead of defending. Tito. "His purpose is clear, to use the attack to compress Ibiza's space and keep the threat away from his own goal. ”
'However, Ibiza's quick counter-attack was very sharp and I don't think it was a good strategy. Another assistant coach, Dierbert, said.
At this moment, the narrator's excited voice shouted, "Fight back, fight back!" ”
l! Mata! Mata! Mata! Beautiful, I'm going to applaud the goal, it was brilliant throughout, Luka Modric sent in a through ball, Juan Mata volleyed past Capdevilla and Gonzalo in quick succession, and Villarreal's defence was completely broken. ”
