Standing outside the door were all old acquaintances, led by the club's assistant coach, Mr. Reuben, and behind him, Van Bizhuang, whose head was wrapped in gauze and the corners of his eyebrows were taped with adhesive tape, and then Riquelme, Senna, Fran......

There were five or six players, who were representatives of the team, and they came to the manager's home with the care and greetings of their teammates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Are you better, sir?"

Mr. Ruben walked into the room first, and while asking with concern, he shook his head and explained with a wry smile, "Originally, I didn't want to come, it's rare to have such a relaxing moment, I plan to sleep peacefully at home, but these boys ......"

As he spoke, he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Although you have indicated that you do not want us to visit you, we feel that it is necessary to come and see our most respected Mr. Manuel."

Riquelme came in with a bag and stood still at the table in the living room, pulling something from his pocket into the table as he spoke: "This is the shortbread I asked a friend to bring from Chile, the taste of your hometown, your favorite durian flavor." Well, this is a crystal ball that Diego gave you, and he said that this thing has magical powers, and as long as you pray sincerely, your feet will get better faster; Well, this is a gift from Marcos, it's a couple of Hollywood blockbusters, you can check it out when you're bored, pass the time, this is ...... Damn, what the hell is this? Needless to say, this must have been the work of that bastard from Kach......"

Riquelme pulled out the same things, all of which were gifts prepared by his teammates, asking him to deliver them to the manager, because it represented their best wishes.

Pellegrini was moved and looked at the other party's actions with great satisfaction, but when he looked at it, the expression on his face became extremely strange, because a small pink cardboard box was taken out by Riquelme, and a few English letters were clearly printed on it - "Durax"!

What this thing is, it already goes without saying. With Nihart's funny urine nature, it's not surprising that he could do such a ridiculous thing.

Pellegrini slapped his forehead with a smile: "Originally, I was very moved, but as soon as I saw this kind of thing, well, Cach is really a bastard, and he ruined my good mood." ”

"Of course, it's not surprising that he'd do such a bastard. It's just that what makes me angry is that even if you want to use this kind of thing as a gift for me, then don't use this brand, right? Everyone knows that this is a product endorsed by Fan, this bastard, there is really no sincerity at all, I am sure that this box of TT, he did not spend a single euro! ”

Pellegrini's "complaint" made Mr. Ruben and several player representatives laugh, but Fan Bizhuang didn't have an embarrassed expression at all, and said calmly: "Earlier, Kach went to Mr. Perez in my name and asked for a few large boxes of Durax, so I'm sure he hasn't used up these things yet, so yes, sir, he didn't take any of them." ”

When such words were said in a serious manner, there was another hearty laugh in the room.

Fan Bizhuang stepped forward, leaned down, and gently hugged the sitting head coach.

"We hope you will be healthy and come back to us soon."

"Thank you. You did well yesterday, you were brave, Van and I saw the brave side on TV and it was the best gift I've ever received. Pellegrini patted his lover on the shoulder fondly, and his right hand gently crossed the corners of his head and eyebrows, "But in the future, I hope such dangerous behavior will not happen again." You know, compared to a goal, a game win, I want to see you run healthy all the time. So, are the test results out? No major problems, right? ”

Fan Bizhuang's bloody face at that time was indeed terrifying, and Pellegrini couldn't help but worry when he recalled it at this time, so he asked Fan Bizhuang a concerned question.

"No problem. In fact, if there were any problems, Mr. Kearney wouldn't let me keep playing. It's just that there's a cut on the head and at the corner of the eyebrows, and it doesn't matter. Fan Bizhuang downplayed his injury, paused, and then said, "Victory is not a gift from me, my gift is here." This is the real gift that everyone has given you. ”

Fran walked up, holding a soccer ball in his hand, and handed it to Pellegrini.

There were kicks on it, grass clippings on it and, more importantly, names on it, names on all the players in Villarreal.

"It was yesterday's match ball and Van brought it back. Each of us wrote our name on it, along with a blessing. ”

Pellegrini looked down at the black and white elf in his hand, and the palm of his hand was like a lover's affectionate touch, and he saw familiar names on it, as well as the most conspicuous greeting - return soon, our most beloved Mr. Manuel!

The old Chilean man suddenly felt that his eyes were a little moist, and he coughed twice as if he was covering, but as soon as the words came out, everyone felt the choking.

"This is the most special and precious gift I have ever received in my life." Pellegrini suddenly smiled, looked at the few disciples in front of him, shook his head and sighed, "Okay, I have to admit that although I don't like sensationalism very much, I have to say that you bastards really moved me." Do you like to see me crying? Ah, bastard! ”

Fan Bizhuang hugged him softly again: "Sir, we will always win!" ”

"Stinky Boy ......"

Pellegrini finally couldn't suppress the tears in his eyes, and the crystal jade beads fell to the ground, hugging Fan Bizhuang tightly.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Two days later, the entire Villarreal team set out on the journey again.

This time around, the target is Scotland, who will take on the city's old giants Celtic in the city of Glasgow, their second opponent in the Champions League group stage of the new season.

At the same time, it is also their biggest competitor in the group's outing line.

Although the first round of the group stage drew away to the mighty defending champions Manchester United, which gave a huge confidence boost to all Villarreal players, the players will not swell enough to think that they will be able to beat Manchester United and qualify as top of the group.

Manchester United are undeniably strong, a draw doesn't say much, they are still the most competitive team in the group, and even said that they have booked a place early on, and Villarreal's most realistic choice is not to fight Manchester United, but to fight Celtic for the remaining qualifying spot.

Celtic are the traditional giants of the Scottish Premiership, and one of the two giants of Glasgow City, they and another team in the same city, Glasgow Rangers, can be called the "old brand" of the Soviet Super League, and the two teams have almost monopolized the Soviet Super League championship for nearly 100 years.

In their history, they have lifted the championship trophy of the Soviet Super League 46 times, and also won the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup once.

But football is not just such a simple comparison, the Soviet Super League is at most a second-rate league in European football, and there is no comparison with La Liga, which is fiercely competitive, full of strong teams and countless stars. In addition to dominating the league in their home country, Celtic's results in the Champions League can only be regarded as average, even if they have won the highest honour in this club competition, but the time is too long, which cannot be confused with their current strength.

Villarreal's performance in recent years, both in the league and in Europe, has been remarkable, two seasons ago, they reached the Champions League final, although they have the essence of a dark horse, but the strength they show is also commendable. On top of that, they finished runners-up in La Liga last season, and almost knocked down the defending champions in the first leg of the Champions League group stage this season.

One is the runner-up of the world's first league, and the other is the old champion team of the second-rate league, the difference in strength between the two is certainly not too big, and it is most appropriate to describe it as half a catty, plus both have to do their best for another qualifying place in the group, so the battle between the two teams is bound to collide with fierce sparks.

One of the good things for Celtic is that the game was played at their home stadium, Park, with more than 60,000 fans cheering on them, which will greatly boost their morale and combat effectiveness.

Villarreal's confidence comes from the first round of the group stage and Manchester United, the defending champions are not afraid, not to mention the Celtic who are just ordinary strong teams in the European arena, plus the team ushered in the first win of the season a few days ago, the team is in high spirits and high morale, which makes the whole team more eager and eager to win.

Of course, the most unfavorable news for the submarine is that their helmsman, Manuel Murphy. Manuel Pellegrini is still in the recovery period and will not be able to travel with the team to the away road to meet the challenge.

Although Fan Bizhuang was included in the team's eighteen-man squad for this game, Mr. Ruben finally decided to put him on the bench due to a variety of considerations.

The team's manager and the most important core players were unable to start, which was a great weakening of Villarreal's strength.
