Winning Espanyol is Valverde's only goal, so that Villarreal can take the initiative in the league.

The situation in Spain is not ideal now, Wu Sanshi may only return to the stadium, while another team big man de la Pena has not recovered.

De la Pena's situation is a different story from Wu Sanshi, although he is also injured, but his injury is more serious, he needs to recover longer, and it will be some time to get back on the court.

Two of the most important players for Espanyol have fallen, and the impact on Espanyol has been quite enormous. So if Espanyol can challenge by playing against Villarreal, it means that Espanyol are ready, and if not, it means that the future of Espanyol will be even more difficult.

Although Ruby said at the press conference that there was nothing wrong with Wu Sanshi, Wu Sanshi did not appear on the training ground at all, which is very revealing.

Since the injury is not a big deal, why didn't Wu Sanshi participate in the training?

And Ruby also grabbed Wu Sanshi to check every day, hoping to receive good news every day.

Wu Sanshi even felt that Ruby was a little crazy, but he could understand it.

Who doesn't want the trump card in their hands to be good.

As the final 1/match of the season began, Ruby began to become more and more conservative, using tactics more and more to confuse opponents, such as Wu Sanshi's injury problem is a smoke bomb.

Wu Sanshi didn't know if he could make a comeback, but Ruby's meaning was a certainty, which was obviously for Villarreal's coach Valverde.

But Ruby also made a big fuss in training, and Shunsuke Nakamura was given more responsibilities by him. With De La Pena really unavailable, Shunsuke Nakamura had to carry the Spaniard's attacking responsibility.

Shunsuke Nakamura's performances have been inconsistent in practice, and his performance has always been good and bad against different types of teams, but he is also Ruby's most trusted playmaker.

Ruby actually prepared for the worst, and in the absence of De la Pena and Takesanshi, he opted for a conservative 442 and equipped Nakamura with Moises next to him to make Nakamura play more securely.

It wasn't until Sunday afternoon that Ruby got Wu Sanshi's inspection report and finally confirmed that Wu Sanshi was not suitable to play, but Wu Sanshi could play for about 20 minutes.

Being able to do this, Ruby is already very happy, at least he can put Wu Sanshi on the bench.

At the pre-match press conference on the same day, Valverde also spoke eloquently to Wu Sanshi:

"I think success is the inevitable result of this little boy, he is surrounded by people who can give him the right guidance. I've never met them, but I believe in the kid's attitude towards football and other things, and I have reason to believe that his parents are very nice people who pass on the right values to Stone. ”

'The kid has always had a down-to-earth attitude, he's very calm and I think he's passed some important tests, not just from a football point of view, but also from a mental state point of view.

'Stone has matured, he's calm, he can play against European teams, he can play in the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup, I think he can rely on his right mentality to pass those two important tests, so I think he's got a long way to go, he's a very consistent guy, he's always down to earth and I hope he can continue to look like that.'

Valverde was quite optimistic about Wu Sanshi and highly praised him.

"In my opinion, he is not actually a little boy anymore, but a real man. Most people may still be playing with mud at this age, but he has achieved a lot. ”

Later, Baverd also talked about Ruby.

'Ruby did a fantastic job and it was the right decision for RCD Espanyol and me to take over the team, he is now leading the team in the right direction and he has already made a lot of achievements in the field of coaching.

"I have to congratulate him."

'But maybe he's going to be disappointed this afternoon because we're going to get the Spaniard three points.'

"If I were Ruby, I wouldn't risk the Stone, I wouldn't risk the League Cup. The Spaniards have a good outlook in the UEFA Cup and I think they will suffer if they fight us to the death. ”

The gap between 4th and 7th place in the league is really very small. The gap between 4th and 7th place is six points, which is really close, and all the results are open for every team.

Valverde's goals are more realistic, and his team's goals are presumably more important in the league. Although his team is still in the Champions League, it is unrealistic to expect Villarreal to win the Champions League, and it is tantamount to foolish talk to win the Champions League in the midst of a lot of European giants.

Being able to reach the knockout stage is actually a good result. They focus on participation and overdo their tasks, and they also get a big bonus.

Now it's time for them to continue their fight for a top-four finish or they won't even be able to compete in the Champions League next season.

So it's actually more important than next week's Champions League.

Ruby actually understands this.

But it is also impossible to say that Ruby is going to give up this game, which is just as important for the Spaniard.

So he was anxious about whether Wu Sanshi could make a comeback in time.

'Valverde was very deceptive, he said as if we didn't care about the game, but in reality we all know what the result means, it's a game we can't lose, even if we're missing some of the most important players at the moment, we can't be pessimistic.

"My guys know what to do."

'I have to say we're all very good teams, but the truth is that sometimes it makes me look like other clubs are better than us, but that's not the case, but it's for sure, there are teams that end up missing out on the Champions League, but definitely not us.

'Of course, it's very difficult to finish in the top four and that's what we're aiming for.

Then, Ruby put a big move.

'Stone won't play, but he's on the bench. It's going to test the will of each and every one of our players. ”

wow

There was an uproar at the press conference.

Only then did everyone understand that Ruby had been putting smoke bombs, and Wu Sanshi did not reply.

Valverde, who had returned to the hotel, almost wanted to scold his mother.

"Ahh

"Good you Ruby! I actually put smoke bombs, and you've been practicing how to defend Stone for the past few days. ”

He sat on the couch and muttered to himself, smiling wryly and giving a thumbs up to Ruby in front of the TV.

Unexpectedly, Ruby, who has always been honest and honest, completely subverted his impression of him. Today, too, he was caught in the palm of his hand......

"It's not the bench or a smoke bomb, I don't believe Stone can play."

As soon as he thought about it, his heart began to abandon Stone. Thinking that it is impossible for Wu Sanshi to enter the game, this is just Ruby's last resort, and it is still used to confuse him.

I'm not stupid, Valverde shrugged. It's time for him to readjust his tactics, at least he has more than half an hour left.

Since there is no need to make a fuss about Wu Sanshi, everything has become a lot easier......

Half an hour later, buses from both teams arrived outside the El Plata Stadium at almost the same time, and Ruby took the initiative to walk over and shake Valverde's hand.

"Ruby, you've deceived me so hard." Valverde said with a wry smile.

Ruby smiled, "You didn't teach it yet." ”

Valverde: "......"

But I was thinking, have I taught? He couldn't remember.

And at this time, a group of passing fans shouted Ruby's name.

"Ruby,"

"Ruby,"

"Ruby!"

The loud voice burrowed into Valverde's adori, making Valverde feel a little uncomfortable.

Because Espanyol fans have never called him like this, even when he led Espanyol to the final of the League Cup, he never had such treatment.

How did Ruby do it?

“stone，”

“stone，”

……

This was followed by the name of Wu Sanshi.

Oh, got it. Valverde shook his head inwardly.

It's all because of stone, and without stone, where would there be Ruby?

After thinking about it, he regretted leaving the Spaniards a little. He should be the protagonist of this team......

Retracting his thoughts, he walked into the familiar and unfamiliar away dressing room......

Ruby also led the team into the home dressing room, and his face returned to coldness.

“an，”

"I need to let you know how important this kind of game is,"

"It's not over yet, but we can't afford to lose this game."

"It's like you're already standing in the church, and you're about to put a ring on your fiancée, but suddenly an uninvited guest comes to the door of the church, and he says that he wants to marry your fiancée, and your fiancée doesn't agree to you, and then you end up in such a tragedy."

Ruby's analogy was so apt that the locker room instantly laughed.

"Oh God, please, but don't let that happen. Don't lose your status as a bridegroom and give your wife to someone else. ”

'It's a similar situation now, we're fourth in the league and we can't give it up!'

"We didn't have a stone and we didn't have a de la Pena in this game, I hope you don't have to carry a mental burden, I don't believe in myself, even if we didn't have them, we could have won Villarreal at home. I can tell you very clearly that Stone will not be playing, so don't put any hope on him, you can only rely on yourselves! ”

"Forget about Stone!"

Wu Sanshi, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his eyebrows slightly, he really felt a little surprised, he didn't expect Ruby to say this, he cut off everyone's illusions and everyone's dependence on him.

This should be a good thing and should inspire the fighting power of all.

"Come on!"

"Giving Valverde the gift of defeat is our greatest welcome and respect for him."

……

※※※※

In the stadium, Espanyol fans knew that Wu Sanshi would not play, but they still sat patiently here.

Because they need to go in and out with the team, but they are obviously not in such a cheerful mood.

"It's time to test the team again, it's a game that probably doesn't have stone."

'Valverde is very familiar with the Spaniards and I feel like it's going to be tough.

Seeing Wu Sanshi sitting on the bench, the fans were still very unaccustomed to it.

This season, without injuries, Wu Sanshi has played every game, and the Spaniard's results have also improved by leaps and bounds. But today Wu Sanshi had to sit on the bench and watch the game like the fans.

Hierro tidied up his collar and started today's live broadcast:

"Judging from the odds of the spinach company, today's game is very interesting, I didn't know that Wu Sanshi was not on the field, the bookmaker thought that the Spaniards could win Villarreal at home, but half an hour ago Ruby announced that from time to time, the handicap of the spinach company changed, and Villarreal was originally a half, but now it has become a draw, which shows how important the absence of a core player is."

"Stone's absence means that the Spaniards have no attacking core at all, and the time has come to test the rest of the players."

The live broadcast camera was deliberately aimed at Wu Sanshi, who was sitting on the bench at this time, drinking mineral water slowly, and the brand of mineral water was very clear.

So much so that Chinese fans who are watching the broadcast can see it.

"Centennial Mountain?"

"I'm rubbing, when did Baisui Mountain find Wu Sanshi to advertise? This advertisement has also been sent abroad......"

"No, this is a call to our domestic audience......"

"Wu Sanshi shouldn't be playing today, right? Can the Spaniards win? ”

Beep –

The competition has officially begun.

Villarreal started with a reversal and attacked across the board.

Hierro bluntly said that Valverde's fate was good. 'Stone couldn't play when Valverde led the team to the Copa del Rey at the beginning of the year, and it's still the same in today's league, Valverde's luck is really good.'

"The Spaniards didn't have any power to fight in the previous two games, will that be the case today? I don't think so. ”

"The Spaniard, who has been through a lot of games, should be able to play at a high level. It's like Shunsuke Nakamura replacing De La Pena. ”

"Callejon took Stone's place today, his position is the most important, whether he can do what Stone can do, let's wait and see. Callejón has grown quite rapidly in the past six months, and there are already calls to recruit him into the Spanish national team, and if he can carry the Spaniards to win Villarreal today, it will be the best proof for him. ”

Villarreal were given a chance to shoot from distance first, but did not threaten the Spaniards' goal.

The Spaniards switched to attacking, but the tempo was a little slow, and they were still not used to the lack of Wu Sanshi.

Don't know who to pass the ball to......
