Villarreal swept CSKA Moscow 8-0 in the last round of the Champions League group stage, and as long as they are unbeaten in this round, they can be declared a round early, while his opponents Tottenham must try to beat their opponents if they want to gain the initiative to qualify.

On the eve of the big game, Tottenham captain Harry Kane issued a warning to Villarreal: "We are ready to crush you!" ”

Kane believes Tottenham have enough firepower to sink last season's Europa League winners Villarreal, saying: "We are focused and we are ready for a win. We've already had the advantage in the league and now we're hoping for another win in the Champions League. ”

'Villarreal are a tough opponent to play against, they defended well, but we will create chances in front of their goal.

In addition to the captain's mobilization, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino also encouraged his team, saying: "We have the ability to beat any team in the world. ”

In order to better understand Villarreal, Pochettino sent an assistant to Bilbao last Saturday to watch the 12th round of Villarreal's La Liga.

In this game, Tottenham was driven by Harry Kane, Ali, Vinks, and Son Heung-min were ambushed behind them, and Wanyama and Dembele were both backs. At the back, Dier and Weimmel partnered in central defence, Rose and Kieran Trippier left and right, and the goalkeeper was still Lloris.

On the Villarreal side, Dai Zhiwei led the old lineup.

Villarreal starting line-up -

Goalkeeper: Asenjo

Defenders: Mario, Musacchio, Ruiz, Costa

Midfielders: Dos Santos, Bruno, Triguros, Roberto Soriano

Forwards: Dai Zhiwei, Pato

Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up –

Goalkeeper: Lloris

Defenders: Trippier, Dier, Wemmer, Rose

Defenders: Wanyama, Dembele

Midfielders: Ali, Vinks, Son Heung-min

Forward: Harry Kane

Just four minutes into the opening period, Roberto Soriano received a header from Trigueros at the edge of the penalty area, and after using his foot skills to break through continuously, he hit the right corner of the penalty area with his left foot, and the ball bounced off Trier's right arm.

The referee did not blow a penalty for an unintentional handball and Villarreal missed a golden chance to break the deadlock.

However, the scene was still firmly controlled by the yellow submarine playing at home, Dai Zhiwei handed a long ball from the back to Pato, Pato then passed to the feet of Trigueros, and in an instant Villarreal opened up the whole formation, and the ball quickly fell to the feet of Roberto Soriano.

Seeing that Tottenham's defense was already in place, Roberto Soriano quickly pulled the ball back and knocked it back to Costa, who quickly pulled away and let Costa assist.

Costa, the yellow submarine fullback who was inserted in front, ran into 20 meters before being caught up and entangled by Trippier, Costa rubbed his footsteps, shook off Trippier who stretched his feet, and then looked at the middle, quickly got up, and the ball flew towards Dai Zhiwei.

Dai Zhiwei saw Costa shake off his defenders, and subconsciously started quickly.

Whether this kind of opportunity can be passed over is a matter of Costa's ability, but whether to run or not is the reaction of Dai Zhiwei's attitude.

After Dai Zhiwei ran wildly, sure enough, the ball came in front of him, and Dale and Weimmer saw that Dai Zhiwei had run towards the ball and tried their best to chase back, but Dai Zhiwei's speed was no longer comparable to them.

"Dai, Dai Zhiwei He has already started, the ball is in front of his eyes, single knife, single knife. Oh no, oh my God, the assistant referee raised and the referee's whistle blew. Worst! We can only blame our lads for being too fast. The on-site commentator of the Love Song Stadium cheered at first, but couldn't help but sigh again and again when he saw the flying yellow flag.

It was a good chance, but Tottenham's defence was successful and set up an offside position for Dai Zhiwei.

"Am I really offside?" Dai Zhiwei was still haunted when he walked back.

As the game progressed, the competition in midfield became more and more fierce, and Trigueros rarely stepped forward to assist, and Bruno, who is dedicated to defense, had no chance to go up at all.

Trigueros got the ball from Wanyama's feet and quickly sent it to the feet of Dos Santos, who quickly cut inside after a quick start, while Pato and Dai Zhiwei also wandered between the two central defenders, just waiting for Dos Santos's lethal pass.

Tottenham defender Kieran Trippier was not slow, and soon caught up with Dos Santos with the ball, and then Trippier hit his body, Dos Santos stumbled, and the ball was quickly cut off by a smug Trippier.

Dos Santos hurriedly signaled to the referee on duty for a foul on Trippier, but the referee on duty stretched his hands forward, shook his head, and signaled to continue the attack.

Dai Zhiwei, who saw this scene clearly, shook his head secretly on the side, this is the difference between La Liga and the Premier League in terms of physical confrontation, and the Premier League, which advocates tough guys, is more relaxed in terms of penalty scale.

This is also why Brazilian stars such as Ronaldo and Neymar do not choose the Premier League, if Neymar "performs" in the Premier League, it is estimated that he will change from Zheng Zhi to Zheng Zhi in two games.

Dos Santos didn't have time to pursue it anymore, and quickly rushed towards Trippier, he had already dribbled into his own half, Dos Santos was fast, quickly caught up with the position that was pulled away, and also used his body to wrap around Trippier again.

But Trippier didn't dwell on Dos Santos, passing the ball to Dembele and then quickly cutting forward.

Ruiz hurriedly gave up on Dembele and quickly set his sights on Trippier, but unfortunately the speed of Dos Santos and Ruiz could not match the speed of the flow of football, Dembele did not stop the ball at all this time, but just handed the ball and slashed behind Ruiz.

Son Heung-min had already come out from the right side, grabbed the ball in front of Musacchio, and with a low kick, he had already completed the shot.

"Oh, Dembele, perfect ball stopper, Son Heung-min, he's so quick! Knock on the door! The commentator in England was depressed for more than ten minutes, and finally shouted excitedly when he saw Son Xingmin receiving the ball and hitting the goal.

But Son Heung-min's shot deflected out of the frame and Villarreal escaped.

Son Heung-min glanced at the goal with some annoyance and gave Dembele a thumbs up.

After Asenjo's kick-off, the game entered a relatively fast tempo, with the ball competing back and forth in midfield, and Villarreal gradually took control of the situation because of the home advantage.

The loss of control in the midfield made Tottenham play very hard, Bruno once again cut off the ball from the feet of Dembele, and quickly handed it to Trigueros in front of him, Trigueros changed direction, shook off the grabbing Trippier, and quickly distributed the ball to Pato's feet.

Pato wanted to break through Wan Yama with the ball, and quickly turned behind Wan Yama, he had already seen Dai Zhiwei running on his left side.

Wanyama watched the ball behind him, and Pato went around him, only to be forced to reach out and pull Pato to the ground.

"Drop!" The referee on duty blew his whistle, came over to warn him and gave Villarreal a free-kick in front.

The free-kick was nearly 50 metres away from the goal, and no matter how powerful Dai Zhiwei's curvy shot was, a direct free-kick from this distance could not threaten the attentive goalkeeper.

Trigueros stood in front of the ball and looked at several Villarreal players in the penalty area, when his eyes suddenly fell on Dai Zhiwei, paused for a second, and quickly moved away.

Although Dai Zhiwei's height is not high, only 178cm, he relies on flexible running and bounce, and often does not fall into disadvantage when fighting for the top of set-pieces.

Then, when Trigueros heard the referee's whistle, he stepped on the rhythm and quickly drew a high arc with the inside of his right foot towards Tottenham's box.

Terry Gros's free-kick was swift and it was like a shot and it went straight into the far corner.

However, it was a set-piece close to 50 metres from goal, and the ball was already slow in the box, and Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris was ready to leap up and take the ball into his arms.

But before Lloris jumped up, a yellow figure had jumped high on the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area, and the white No. 10 appeared above everyone's heads, which was Dai Zhiwei who received Triguros's message.

Seeing that the ball was on his upper side, Dai Zhiwei stopped his forward force, facing the ball is a look back at the moon, the lower body leaned forward, and the upper body was thrown back, the body twisted at an exaggerated angle, and the ball flew towards the far edge of the goal.

Because Trigueros's free kick had slowed down to Dai Zhiwei, his header was not fast, but the angle was extremely tricky, and it was a header that almost fell into the corner of the goal.

But with a "snap", a giant palm blocked the lower edge of the flying ball, and a sideways figure fell heavily on the goal line.

It was Lori again, and when he misjudged in his first reaction, he actually jumped in the opposite direction in time and denied Dai Zhiwei's header!

"This guy won't hang up again today, will he?" Dai Zhiwei remembered the experience of the first meeting between the two teams, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

However, apparently the Tottenham players did not expect Lloris to be able to save Dai Zhiwei's header, which led to a brief mistake in their defence at the edge of the box - the two defenders did not cover Pato on the line of the box.

After Lloris saved the ball, Pato rushed up to meet the rebounding ball, leaped to the top, and pushed the ball into the goal.

1:0！

"Haha! Love saint, thanks to my indirect assistance! Although it was not his own goal, Dai Zhiwei still happily pounced on the scorer, and called the nickname he gave Pato.

Because Pato is a little expert in the party, Dai Zhiwei gave him such a nickname, in addition to Pato, Dai Zhiwei also gave nicknames to many teammates in the team.

However, because he is not so familiar now, Dai Zhiwei's nicknames are relatively good, and the yellow submarine soldiers still gladly accepted it.

Only those who were in Evergrande last season will know that when they are completely familiar with Dai Zhiwei, the poisonous snake attribute - the nicknames he gave to his teammates in the later stage of Evergrande are more ugly than the other!

For example, a certain man in Evergrande who doesn't like to take a shower after the game was called a "little prince with a scab".

What is a scab?

It refers to the "mud" formed by dead skin, sweat, and dirt on the surface of the human body, which is a mixture attached to the human body, and can be rubbed on the surface of the body with your hands.

In Dai Zhiwei's reasoning, he is learning from Materazzi and Jordan in the NBA, he thinks that his mouth has reached the full value, and he only sighs that he has not met Materazzi and other "masters" to communicate.

Pato's follow-up shot opened the scoring for Villarreal, and the Yellow Submarine fans at the Love Song Stadium were naturally delighted.

A win over Tottenham in this game would see Villarreal advance from the group.

However, Villarreal's delight lasted just over 10 minutes, and in the 34th minute, Vinks used a reasonable body duel to bring down Gaspar in a reasonable dribble before subsequently crossing near the corner flag on the right.

The cross wasn't too threatening as the Villarreal defender had already taken advantage of the front post, but it was Costa's fatal rise down the middle that Harry Kane was overjoyed at the gift, and the Tottenham striker equalised with an unattended header from six yards out.

1：1。

Dai Zhiwei crossed his waist and looked at Costa, who regretted it, and was quite glad that the position he chose was a striker.

In fact, if football counts the number of player turnovers like basketball, the number of turnovers of offensive players in the front court is definitely several times, or even more than ten times that of defensive players in the back court.

However, compared to strikers, any mistake by a defender is very likely to lead to conceding a goal and being drowned out by public opinion. So when it comes to turnovers, the evaluation of defenders is not fair.

Strikers are only reprimanded after a one-shot mistake or a frequent "spitting cake".

This season, Costa has been a very trustworthy choice in the Villarreal backline, and although he has rarely inserted assists, he has not made any big mistakes, and he has not expected to score a goal in a single miss.

Just as Dai Zhiwei was sighing, Villarreal made another mistake, after the restart, the yellow submarine passed back to the backfield, and Ruiz's backfield pass error was directly tackled by Tottenham.

Tottenham counter-attacked, Harry Kane successfully faced the onrushing Asenjo in an offside position, but his shot was slightly wide.

"Just the footwork of this turtle?" For Harry Kane, Dai Zhiwei always looks down on him, "You still want to steal the limelight with me? ”
