In this game, Villarreal defeated the visitors 2-0 without blood, Godin and Riquelme contributed to the team respectively, Fan Bizhuang did not score a goal, and the record of scoring in every game for more than a month came to a temporary halt, but in the game Fan Bizhuang contributed an assist, which can be regarded as a success.
At the same time, this game is also the halfway game of the league, and Villarreal drew a relatively happy end to the halfway with a victory.
In the 20th round of the league, Villarreal continued to play at home, this time against Osasuna, a team from the autonomous region of Navarra.
With 19 rounds of the league going on, Osasuna sit 14th in the table and are just six points off the relegation zone, and it is clear that the team's task for the season is relegation.
Villarreal, on the other hand, are in good form and are second in the league standings, and in terms of rankings, the two teams are not at the same level at all.
But the biggest charm of football is its unpredictability, no one knows what will happen during the game. That's exactly what this game is.
When the first half ended, the electronic scoreboard at the Love Song Stadium clearly engraved the score of 0:2.
With the home team in front and the visitors behind, Villarreal was two goals down at half-time at their home stadium.
It was a situation that no one had expected before the game, and even the fans in the stadium had a feeling of disbelief, but everything was real.
Throughout the first half, although Villarreal had the absolute upper hand on the field, they were never able to break through the opponent's goal, on the contrary, Osasuna first scored a single goal in the 31st minute with the home team's back pass error, and then in the 43rd minute, with the opponent's eagerness to equalize and press on the mentality, quickly counterattacked, and extended the score advantage to two goals.
After a half-time adjustment, Villarreal launched a more aggressive comeback in the second half, but unfortunately the home side were unable to find the back of the net until the 80th minute of the game.
At a time when everyone thought the game was going to end in a big upset, Van Bizhuang suddenly exploded, scoring two goals in the 83rd and 89th minutes, and Villarreal equalized with a difficult equalizer and a thrilling draw.
Although the expected three points became one point, at least not losing is much better than not having one point at all, and the number of goals scored by Fan Bizhuang in the league has risen to 20, still maintaining a terrifying efficiency of one goal per game.
It's the end of January, and in the past month, Villarreal have won three and drawn one, continuing to hold them in second place in the league - overall, after four consecutive draws at the beginning of the season, Villarreal must have been consistent and have a very high win rate, if they normally sit in second place in the table, or even top of the league. But unfortunately, this season's Barcelona seems to be on the hook, with a more terrifying winning percentage than Villarreal, and they are more ferocious and fierce while the submarine is crazy to grab points.
Van Bizhuang and his team have been good enough to see the Submarine once again have four players on the list in January's Team of the Month selection, with Van Bizhuang on the list for the third time this season. Sadly, he was not voted Player of the Month for the third time, and the La Liga Player of the Month award in January was won by Barcelona's Leo Player. Messi won.
Barcelona are back on winning streak after a draw with Villarreal, winning all four of their matches in January. Now on a four-game winning streak, they dominate the standings and are five points behind their closest rivals, Villarreal.
In the points pressed the yellow submarine, and in the competition for the best of the month, Messi also defeated Fan Bizhuang, the Argentine young talent in Barcelona new coach Pep Guardiola full support, was pushed to the forefront, which made him usher in an explosion, his goals began to come in a steady stream, just in the past month, Messi scored five league goals, the last two games are a brace in a row, the recent goal rate is more than one goal per game, And he has also caught up in the top scorer list like a rocket, Messi has scored 17 league goals, only three goals away from Van Bizhuang, and there is still half of the league left, and the Argentine will most likely complete the comeback in the following time if he continues to maintain his high goal rate......
It can be said that Messi's explosion has been an important factor in Barcelona's excellent form this season, he has always been able to bring goals to the team at key moments, and with this, Barcelona has been triumphant all the way.
"There's only one Leo. Messi! ā
"Leo is the only one in the world!"
"No one is more special than him, he is the darling of God, born to belong to the elf of football!"
Such statements are in the air, La Liga media and fans have sung praises for it, and the statement that "there is only one Messi" has been mentioned again - it is undeniable that Messi's performance in the past month has indeed been more eye-catching than Van Bizhuang, and the media are forgetful, so it is not surprising that he is hyped up, and Messi does have a reason to be sought after.
Fan Bizhuang must admit that Messi is a player with super talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a football elf, even if he is very disdainful of Barcelona in his heart, but if there is another person in La Liga who can be his opponent, that person must be Messi, his breakthrough, his dribbling, his passing, his goals, everything about him, has unparalleled power - in fact, this is a bit of a reversal, because Messi became famous earlier than Fan Bizhuang, and is more affirmed and recognized by European football, Fan Bizhuang is a rising star, and he is the chaser.
But it doesn't matter, Van Bizhuang believes that Messi must now also see him as the biggest rival in his career.
Fan Bizhuang did not pay attention to all kinds of rumors in the market, as for some newspapers said that Messi beat Fan Bizhuang to win the best player of the month, it means that Messi is more special and powerful than him, Fan Bizhuang is even more scoffing, he disdains to answer this kind of NC remarks, but chooses to respond with practical actions.
On the first day of February, and the first weekend of February, Villarreal travelled to the Stadio Riazor to take on Deportivo La Coruna, a game in which Van Bizhuang was extremely active from the start, and his activity was rewarded with the best reward, scoring three goals and scoring a hat-trick in both halves.
The final score was 0:3, and Van Bizhuang almost single-handedly helped the team to get three points at the Stadio riasuo, known as the home of the devil, and he responded forcefully to the remarks that "Van Bizhuang is not as good as Messi" with a hat-trick, and at the same time, his league goal tally also increased by leaps and bounds to 23 in one fell swoop.
On the other side, Barcelona also emerged victorious, with a comfortable 2-0 win over Racing Santander at the Sardine Man Stadium, where Messi scored the second goal that sealed the win and also provided an assist, and his performance was also impressive.
But compared to Fan Bizhuang's hat-trick, he was slightly overshadowed. However, the Argentine star has also scored eighteen league goals.
In the scorer list, Messi is second with 18 goals, and Fan Bizhuang firmly occupies the top spot with a terrifying 23 goals.
This time, instead of boasting about who was better than whom, the reporters began to exclaim for the two young talents.
"The Iberian Peninsula has entered an era of double pride!"
"Leo. Messi, eighteen goals, Fan, twenty-three goals! Two people are like two military powers, they are engaged in an arms race without giving in to each other, if you enter one, I will enter two, and if you enter two, I will score a hat trick! It's really a terrifying number of goals, and the pace of two people scoring goals can't stop at all! ā
"It is an honour for us to be able to enjoy the performances of two such outstanding young talents; But the stars of their era inevitably feel hopeless, in front of such two goal machines, it is too difficult to win the league Golden Boot honor! ā
"Both guys are crazy, both guys are the best players! Which of them will have the last laugh, it's worth looking forward to! ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The remarks of "double pride" have attracted the attention of many fans, and Spanish fans are very interested in discussing it, some say that Fan Bizhuang is the strongest, and will be able to lead all the way to the end of the season, after all, Fan Bizhuang's goal firepower this season is too fierce, and even fierce to the point of despair.
And some fans support Messi, the reason is very simple, Messi has super personal ability, and at the same time has a strong Barcelona as the backing, Barcelona's unparalleled central axis, will be able to give the Argentines a steady stream of shells, as long as Messi maintains a good condition, goals will be endless.
In comparison, although Fan Bizhuang has strong individual ability and a strong desire to score, in the comparison of teams, Villarreal is inferior to Barcelona, both of them are very good, one has strong team support, and the other is not the top team, it is obvious that Messi has more reason to be the latecomer.
The media and fans held their own opinions, and the debate over which of the two men was stronger and weaker was heated for several days, but the debate was quickly replaced by a new sensational news, and the entire Iberian Peninsula was thrown into shock.
