Chapter 149: Winning the Derby (Part II)
Villarreal Mingjin withdrew his troops and wanted to hold on to the fruits of the victory to the end, but Valencia was not willing to give up, in the frontal toughness of the two sides, they did not take advantage of it, and if they were taken three points from their own territory by the sworn enemy, it would be a real loss of face.

Villarreal now have one less player on the pitch, and this is a great opportunity for them to counterattack.
So, in the ensuing period, Valencia launched a decisive counterattack.
Although there were still fierce collisions and verbal arguments, and players from both sides were thrown to the ground from time to time, the game always had a tendency to pull back to "professional football", and both sides focused more on the football game itself.
Valencia's attack is fierce, but Villarreal's defense is extremely tough, the two are still a needle-to-wheat battle, although the away team's formation has recovered a lot, which gives the home team a lot of room to play, but in the danger zone, Villarreal is very protective and does not give the opponent too many opportunities to shoot on goal.
On the contrary, Villarreal uses quick defensive counterattacks, but they are often more able to create a lot of threat, Fan Bizhuang, Cazorla, Forlan and others, all have strong individual combat ability, although they do not get much support from behind at the moment, but with excellent individual ability, they can still stir up trouble in the counterattack.
Although there is one less player, but on the field, Villarreal is still not at a disadvantage, which also proves that the current yellow submarine is indeed stronger than Valencia in terms of hard power.
'The Villarreal players are very motivated and excited, they are constantly running on the pitch and working harder to make up for the number gap. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this red card actually existed, I wouldn't have found them playing one less man on the field! ”
"Valencia used to be the big brother in the region, but now it's ...... It must be admitted that there is a certain reason why the Yellow Submarine can rank in the top six of the league for several consecutive seasons, and now they have the temperament of the leading boss! ”
"Although anything can happen in a derby, I would say that a miracle is very difficult to come by, and Villarreal will win 100 per cent of the battle for the top of the Valencia region!"
While the commentators were elaborating their views and opinions, Villarreal's quick counterattack came again. Fan Bizhuang cruised to the side, used the speed of the wind to move forward quickly, and then made a collision with Renas who was inserted in the middle of the wall, and hit the bottom line, and the football was accurately swept into the penalty area by Fan Bizhuang.
Rainas nodded the ball in front of him, and Forlan appeared like a ghost, and with a tackle that hit the ground, shoveling the ball straight into the opposition goal.
0:3!
The die is cast!
Forlan's goal helped Villarreal extend the advantage to three points and seal the win completely!
For the third time, the Mestalla stadium fell silent, followed by loud invective and boos. Of course, there was also a mixture of complaints and indignation against their own team, and there were even home fans who threw debris under their own dugouts to express their displeasure.
The more than 300 away fans were overjoyed, singing and dancing in the corners, and songs belonging to the town lingered over the stadium.
"Win!"
Manuel Pellegrini got up again and waved his arm in exuberance, before he used up his last substitution – this time without any hesitation, and with the win already decided, no one would lash out at Van Bizhuang after the game, calling him a "derby deserter". The three goals, all of which have something to do with him, such a perfect performance, even if he leaves the game early, no one can say anything.
In the 74th minute, Van Bizhuang was replaced by veteran Tomasson, who was greeted by unreserved boos from the home fans and cheers from the away fans.
Valencia's side also began to make substitution adjustments, although they knew that the general trend had gone, and losing was a sure thing, but the derby was the derby, they could lose, but they would not admit defeat, Joaquín and Vicente, the two veterans appeared on the field, and there was also a young player on the field, wearing a 44 jersey number, he was Van Bizhuang's old acquaintance - Isco.
Isco is definitely a fan of Van Bizhuang, and the reason why he joined Valencia is also because of Van Bizhuang, if it weren't for Van Bizhuang's footsteps, he wouldn't have come to this region - but unfortunately, this little guy seems to have found a place and eventually became a member of Villarreal's sworn enemy camp.
Not being able to be a team-mate with Van Bizhuang is definitely a shame for Isco. If you can't be a teammate, then make up for it by being an opponent, but what is even more speechless is that in the two encounters last season, Isco didn't have a chance to play at all, and could only watch Fan Bizhuang shine in the game. And this time, he finally waited for the opportunity to play, but vomited blood and found that when he came on the field, Fan Bizhuang was waving his hand leisurely and leaving the field in the two days of boos and applause.
When passing by Fan Bizhuang, Isco suddenly thought of a word: fate is inseparable.
But that's not the case, the two always miss because of one kind or another, whether as a teammate or an opponent, he always has to slow down - just like he once took Fan Bizhuang as his idol and regarded the other party as the object of learning to catch up, when he tried to raise his feet to chase forward, he was gloomy to find that the other party had run farther and farther, and he was almost unable to see the other party's back...... This made him feel a little depressed.
"Francisco."
Isco was in a daze, but suddenly heard someone behind him calling his name, turned around, and saw Fan Bizhuang, who had already walked out of the field, looking at him indifferently. He nodded, just like he had been two years ago, his tone flat.
"Come on."
Isco was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted again, Fan Bizhuang had already put the shirt off his shoulder and sat back on the away team's bench.
"No matter how fast you run, I still have to try to catch up!"
Isco glanced at the "idol" who was sitting on the bench and talking to his teammates again, as if the scene just now had not happened, but Fan Bizhuang's faint word "come on" lingered in his ears, which made him feel more courage in his heart.
I have to come on! Because, there is Fan encouragement!

"What are you talking about with that little rookie? Are you a friend? ”
Nihat tossed his sneakers and socks aside, and flung his feet around on his seat, and Riquelme was dissatisfied with letting him put them on, because his feet were emitting an unbearable "poisonous gas".
Several players on the bench complained to him, but the Turk didn't care at all, playing on his own, and chatting with Fan Bizhuang while torturing the noses of his teammates.
"A little guy I met two years ago. He played well and had a lot of talent. Maybe you might become a superstar in the future! ”
Fan Bizhuang replied casually.
"You also say that others are little guys, and you haven't aged much, have you? Not to mention the ...... talent" Nihat lifted his feet to his seat and played with his hands in the shocked eyes of his teammates, perfectly interpreting the adjective "big man with his feet", "No one is more bewitching than you, right?" You're not even twenty years old, and I'm a piece of compared to you. Let me think about what I was doing when I was nineteen, huh...... It seems to be still in the reserves......"
Nihat fell into the fond memories of "reminiscing about the past eventful years", but Fan Bizhuang was too lazy to deal with this unscrupulous friend, he glanced at Isco on the pitch lightly, and then began to fantasize in his mind, will tomorrow's news headlines not be the news of Villarreal's derby victory?
After all, Nihat is really eye-catching, ha, Villarreal's main striker turned into a big man on the sidelines, without the slightest awareness and image of a public figure, sloppy and extremely sloppy......
Nihat had told him before that as long as he could create a topic and be attractive, whether it was good or bad, it would be fame and influence, and now, Nihat, who is picking his feet, is perfectly interpreting this......
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A shrill whistle pierced the Mestalla Stadium under the night sky, and the game ended after the whistle.
The score was fixed at 1:3!
Although Valencia, who was playing at home, launched a lifeless offensive in the final game time, and occupied the absolute initiative in terms of numbers and fields, the gap of three goals was too big for them, and it was almost impossible to catch up, so they could only drink at home and lose the derby in the same region in frustration.
However, the only consolation was that as stoppage time approached, substitute Isco pulled the score back for his side, first forming a series of breakthroughs in the middle before handing the ball to fellow substitute Joaquín, whose powerful shot from the edge of the box was met by Diego. López saved, and Isco swooped into the box with a clever shot as it fell, sending the ball into the empty net.
This was the biggest takeaway of the game for the home side, with the exception of three goals conceded, they were almost naked against Villarreal for the entire game, and the brilliant performance was lackluster, and Isco's goal was one of the few bright spots, and it was a goal that comforted the Mestalla fans a little, at least not too ugly.
On top of that, the young Isco has made the fans here look forward to it, Villarreal can have a Van Bizhuang rise, and as an old giant in Valencia, they have more resources, why not have a young talent like Van Bizhuang?
In this way, Isco entered the hearts of Valencia fans and was given endless hope......
This was something Fan Bizhuang didn't expect, even if he knew, he just smiled faintly, and then sent blessings to his "little fan brother".
On the night of the race, Villarreal returned to the town by bus overnight, and for them, the victory was joyful, but there was still a long way to go, and they had to continue their journey.
