In the current group situation of Group E, Villarreal is at the top of the table with 1 win, 2 draws and 5 points, while their opponents in this round CSKA Moscow are at the bottom of the group with 2 draws and 1 loss and one win.

If the above analysis is followed, it seems that Villarreal should not be a big problem to win CSKA Moscow away, however......

"I'll go, what the hell is this weather temperature? My feet are going to freeze off! Dai Zhiwei never imagined that when Villarreal was still a late summer scene, the temperature in Moscow had dropped to about 0 degrees Celsius, especially at night, even below freezing.

"What the hell weather!" Villarreal was somewhat unprepared, Dai Zhiwei was still wearing a short-sleeved jersey and no underwear, and it was still sleet on the day of the game, so he was completely frozen.

After the opening, Villarreal's offensive struggled and was completely suppressed by CSKA Moscow, setting off wave after wave of attacks.

In the 34th minute, through the cooperation of the whole CSKA Moscow team, Traore Rashina scored the first goal with a header in the small penalty area.

0:1！

Dai Zhiwei touched the drifting sea with ice slag, and could only smile bitterly.

This is the real devil's home field!

Fortunately, CSKA Moscow has limited strength, and the Villarreal soldiers who returned from halftime have already recovered their souls.

In the 68th minute, Villarreal's Russian international Cheryshev drove straight into the side with the ball, sent a wonderful pass on the right side of the penalty area, Dai Zhiwei successfully countered offside, seized the opportunity, and scored a goal for Villarreal to equalize.

1：1！

This is also Dai Zhiwei's third goal in the Champions League this season, second only to Ronaldo and Messi in the scorer list.

The brilliant 90 minutes were soon over and the score was settled.

Villarreal, who had a draw in cold Moscow, returned to their home stadium with pleasant weather to win 2:1 in the league.

In the 31st minute, Las Palmas passed the ball with a backheel volley from the right side of the Tana penalty area, and Boateng volleyed into the bottom right corner from 12 yards, 0:1, and the home team fell behind.

However, the Yellow Submarine then scored two goals in a row to reverse the situation.

In the 64th minute, Las Palmas' Mesa fouled Dai Zhiwei in the penalty area, and the latter scored a penalty himself, 1:1!

In the 92nd minute, Bakambu combined with Soriano to kick the wall and then pushed a one-handed shot into the net from 12 yards.

2:1, Villarreal lore match!

A week later, Villarreal travelled to Eibar, with Escriva rotating his starting line-up for the Champions League in midweek.

In the 41st minute, Eibar's Lejeune fouled Dai Zhiwei in the penalty area, and he scored his 13th goal in La Liga this season with a penalty kick again!

Until the 80th minute, Villarreal held the lead, and Escriva replaced Dai Zhiwei in order to build up energy for the midweek Champions League game.

Unfortunately, Eibar scored two goals in the last eight minutes to reverse, and in the 84th minute, Lejeune's header in a free-kick melee was ferried, and Rami volleyed in front of the small penalty area to bring the two teams back to the same running line.

In the 91st minute, Enrique cut into the left side of the penalty area and crossed, and Pedro León burst into the net from 10 yards on the right side of the penalty area to reverse the score.

In the end, Villarreal, who lost away at home, missed out on a top-four finish, but Dai Zhiwei knew that the Champions League game in midweek was the stage for him to play at full strength.

There are no weak teams in the Champions League, and CSKA Moscow, which is somewhat unfamiliar to most Spanish fans, drew at home to Villarreal last time out.

This time, they reversed the home and away and went thousands of miles away to challenge the Villarreal team, what will be the outcome?

Villarreal are currently in a less than ideal situation in Group E, with a win over Tottenham, then draws with Bayer Leverkusen and CSKA Moscow, and only five points from three games.

In this game, Villarreal has reached the point where they must win, and if they can't get enough points against the weakest group opponents, they are in danger of going out early.

Thankfully, the match was played at the Love Song Stadium, which was their home stadium, and for that was why Escriva and his disciples had only one goal: to score all three points.

Starting line-ups:

CSKA Moscow:

Goalkeeper: Akinfeev

Defenders: Vasin, Vasily Berezusky, Alexei Berezudsky

Midfielders: Kuchaev, Golovin, Wayne Rom, Zagoev, Shennikov

Forwards: Vitinho, Oranare

Villarreal:

Goalkeeper: Asenjo

Defenders: Gaspar, Musacchio, Ruiz, Costa

Defenders: Dos Santos, Trigueros, Bruno, Cheryshev

Forwards: Dai Zhiwei, Pato

After kick-off, Dai Zhiwei and Pato on the Yellow Submarine front, Dos Santos on the right, and Cheryshev on the left kept putting pressure on CSKA Moscow, while Triguros behind him was not to be outdone and began to diligently surround CSKA Moscow's players in the front court.

This move has achieved good results, the style of the Russian team is naturally different from La Liga, the players are very rough in technique, even if CSKA Moscow is a sharp attacking team, it is not so easy to get rid of the entanglement of the opponent in the backfield.

As a result, CSKA Moscow drove the ball more to the front, lacking the link of ball control in the midfield, and for a while the football flew back and forth on the field, the pace of the game became faster and faster, and both sides got some chances.

Dai Zhiwei actively fought in the front court and kept an eye on the position of his teammates.

Although he is not a fan of Barcelona, he is very envious of Barcelona's team attacking mode at the moment, but he also knows that it is completely impossible to rely on Villarreal's current squad to achieve the level of Barcelona, so he works hard to make himself run more diligently, not only actively fighting in the front court, but also when attacking, he runs back and forth between the forward line and the midfield, helping his teammates pass football.

Bruno passed the ball to Dai Zhiwei and quickly stepped forward, and after being taken away by Bruno in the CSKA Moscow backline, the defense around Dai Zhiwei immediately weakened.

I saw him make a feint with his back and then quickly turned around, just when the opponent woke up and wanted to block, Dai Zhiwei smashed the ball again, and a reverse smash shook off the opponent's defense.

This kind of small-scale practical skills, there are really not many people in today's football who can beat Dai Zhiwei.

"Dai, here!" Pato had already pulled to the right at this time and shouted at Dai Zhiwei.

CSKA Moscow players immediately focused on Dai Zhiwei, but he managed to break through the ribs of the penalty area in the opposite direction, and Pato's shout turned out to be a feint.

Vasily Berezuski, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Pato, was attracted by Pato's shouting, and as soon as he subconsciously moved closer to the side, Dai Zhiwei slipped into his inner space.

CSKA Moscow's starting formation in this game was a rather risky back three, and Dai Zhiwei was already facing goalkeeper Akinfeev directly after bursting into the penalty area.

How could he hesitate at this time?

Before the opponent's defender came over, Dai Zhiwei, who had just stepped into the penalty area, immediately fired a powerful shot, and the heavy artillery bombarded the gate of CSKA Moscow.

Akinfeev, the Russian international of CSKA Moscow, guessed that Dai Zhiwei would shoot, but before he could react, the shot had already flown in front of him.

Akinfeev grabbed in vain with his hands, grabbing only air.

“gooooooooooooooooooooal！”

Less than 5 minutes into the game, the Yellow Submarine took the lead with Dai Zhiwei's goal, and no one would have thought that Villarreal would score so quickly in this crucial battle!

Even, many fans stood up and cheered again without covering their seats under the warm-up!

"Wear! Wear! Wear! The Villarreal fans on the stage shouted loudly in unison, and they jumped excitedly on the stage, going crazy for Dai Zhiwei.

Dai Zhiwei ran to Pato with a smile, he wanted to pounce on Pato's body, but it wasn't until he flew to Pato's body that he found that the Brazilian couldn't help it, and both of them fell to the ground.

After that, the Villarreal players who came to celebrate pressed one after another, and Dai Zhiwei tasted the taste of stacking Arhats for the first time.

"Go! My waist! ”

Dai Zhiwei finally stood up with his waist when his teammates were scattered after the excitement, "Fortunately, I am not at the bottom, if I am injured because of celebration, I will be miserable." Alas, poor Alexander. ”

Pato heard Dai Zhiwei's muttering, and patted his forehead helplessly, "If it weren't for you, this kid, to pounce, would I suffer from unwarranted disaster?" ”

Villarreal suddenly changed his tactics after scoring a goal, Dai Zhiwei suddenly narrowed the scope of his activities, just inside and outside the penalty area, and was unwilling to leave the penalty area, and the two central defenders of CSKA Moscow had to stay in the penalty area and did not dare to take a step.

Bruno and Trigueros, on the other hand, split the ball between the sides in midfield, with the wing-forwards and full-backs on either side looking for opportunities to move forward.

After thinking about it, Alexei Berezudski chose to return to the defense to target Dai Zhiwei, and the previous goal was that he did not fulfill his responsibility to make up for the defense, giving Dai Zhiwei a chance to score.

Compared to Villarreal's midfield, it is clear that their forward line is more intimidating, especially the guy named Dai Zhiwei.

Dos Santos and Cheryshev recovered deeply, breaking through with their team-mates in midfield and behind them by cross-cutting positions to penetrate CSKA Moscow's wide defence.

At this moment, Triguros in the middle suddenly stepped forward, and Dos Santos immediately passed the ball to him, and he and Cheryshev simply teamed up to shake off the defense of CSKA Moscow midfielder Reid.

At this time, CSKA Moscow's middle lane was empty, and Trigueros immediately rushed to the gate of CSKA Moscow with the ball diagonally.

Alexei Berezudski immediately abandoned Dai Zhiwei and pounced on Triguros, who didn't want to entangle with him and passed the ball directly to Dai Zhiwei.

Who knew that Alexei Berezouski suddenly turned around at the moment of Triguros's pass and rushed back to Dai Zhiwei.

Unexpectedly, Dai Zhiwei had no intention of receiving the ball at all, and the ball was distributed to Dos Santos who was on the edge of the ball without stopping with the arch of his foot.

At this time, Dos Santos had used his speed to completely get rid of Kuchaev's defense, and at the same time, Pato and Dai Zhiwei all rushed into the penalty area with their right arms raised to ask for the ball.

Dos Santos made a slight adjustment and sent in a direct cross, and the defense in the CSKA Moscow penalty area was not yet arranged.

Dai Zhiwei cleverly grabbed the front point, but at this time Akinfeev had already sealed the near corner. Dai Zhiwei changed his tactics with a sweep of his eyes, and a sudden knock on his heel changed the route of the football flight, which immediately caused chaos in the middle.

CSKA Moscow didn't know what was going on in the penalty area, but in the end, the football turned into a shadow and flew into the gate of CSKA Moscow, and when Pato rushed to the sidelines to start celebrating, it was only then that he knew that he had seized the opportunity.

2：0！

Villarreal basically sealed the win of the game in less than 20 minutes after the opening!

There was jubilation on the stage at the Love Song Stadium, and after ten minutes of the game, they were already leading by two goals, and everyone thought that it was another game of nine out of ten, and some people had already begun to celebrate the victory in advance.

Faced with a two-goal deficit, CSKA Moscow is completely out of control, if they can't score and equalize, then everything will be in vain, you must know that they are now at the bottom of the group and can't even play in the Europa League.

At the critical moment, Golovin, the core of CSKA Moscow, stepped up, and he led his teammates to continuously compress Villarreal's defense through his wide sprints, and several high-quality long-range shots from outside the box tested Asenjo, causing the excited yellow submarine fans on the stage of the Love Song Stadium to shout and scream.

But in the face of CSKA Moscow's overwhelming attack, Villarreal's players did not hesitate to choose to attack head-on, telling the Russians that this is the Love Song Stadium!

With 40 minutes into the first half, both sides created a number of chances, but the ability to take them was mediocre, with Vitinho's shot sent into the arms of Asenjo and Pato courteously slotted a one-on-one ball to the fans in the stands.

The score remained at 2-0, a situation that CSKA Moscow supporters would never like, and they must try to score as soon as possible to restore suspense.

However, no one expected that it would be Villarreal at home who created a great scoring opportunity first!

It was a mistake by CSKA Moscow's midfielder, who, after receiving a long pass from Vasily Berezudski at the back, used his speed to get past the close defender of Trigueros and dribble along the right side of the pitch, only to be stabbed away by the chasing Bruno when he was close to the Villarreal penalty area.

Musacchio immediately sent the ball directly to Trigueros near the centre circle, who received the ball and adjusted it slightly to make a long pass that crossed nearly half the pitch.

Goal, Dai Zhiwei!
