To be fair, Villarreal were outstanding overall in this game, and despite playing away from home, they kept the home team under pressure for most of the game, and they dominated the game in terms of situation and field. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The only fly in the ointment is that Fan Bizhuang's form is still sluggish, he makes mistakes from time to time in the process of passing and receiving the ball, and at the same time, when he is about to kick the goal, he always can't find the right head. To make matters worse, Villarreal were awarded a penalty in the game, which was almost a sure chance to score, but Van Bizhuang kicked the ball into the stands.

It has been said before that today's Van Bizhuang can be called Villarreal's barometer, and the whole team revolves around him to do offensive and tactical coordination, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the submarine has "Van Bizhuang dependence", his state is good, the submarine is invincible, and if his state is not good, then the submarine is likely to encounter a major crisis.

Some fans and the media have questioned this before, but Fan Bizhuang's competitive state has always been excellent, which makes everyone ignore this intentionally or unintentionally, but in two consecutive games, Fan Bizhuang suddenly seems to have become unable to play, which directly led to Villarreal's offensive in the game's poor operation, and everyone is aware of a problem, in the case of Fan Bizhuang's poor form, can Villarreal continue to maintain pressure on Barcelona in the league standings?

Of course, what is more reminiscent is how long will Fan Bizhuang's sluggish state last?

After two consecutive rounds of winlessness, the media is also full of accusations and criticism.

"What's going on? Why did Fan suddenly become like he couldn't play football? ”

"His magic, his magic, his omnipotence, seemed to disappear overnight!"

"Van has suffered the biggest trouble since he became famous, and Villarreal has also been dragged down by it, he is the culprit of the team's two-game winless run!"

"What happened to Fan? Could it be that the common problems of young players also happened to this amazing teenager? When you're in a good state, you're omnipotent like a god of war, and when you're in a bad state, you're just a bunch of dogs....? Van could become the biggest nerve knife in La Liga?"

Although the outside world is boiling with endless discussions, all kinds of speculation and doubts with bad intentions are rampant, but within the Villarreal team, the players do not have much feeling, Fan Bizhuang's ability has been best proven in the past two years, and his teammates will not doubt him, after all, professional players who have not yet had a low period, as we all know, professional players have to face a lot of pressure, both off the field and on the field, under the influence of many factors, It is normal for the state to have ups and downs, Fan Bizhuang can maintain a high level for two years, it is already a very difficult thing, and in the previous game, Fan Bizhuang also briefly encountered such a problem, but it doesn't matter, as long as the appropriate adjustment, I believe he can quickly get out of the slump and haze.

His teammates all sent encouragement and blessings to Fan Bizhuang, and none of them took the doubts and criticism from the outside world to heart, except for one person, Riquelme. He faintly felt something, how deep Fan Bizhuang's feelings for the head coach were, he couldn't be clearer, what happened in the head coach's office before, he originally thought it was over, but now it seems that Fan Bizhuang still has a thorn in his heart, and it is obvious that this thorn has now affected Fan Bizhuang's normal performance in the game.

Riquelme felt the need to have a good talk with Fan Bizhuang.

So at the end of the day's daily training, Riquelme stopped Fan Bizhuang and the two stayed at the training ground again. The two of them have not been involved in such coaching for a while, and since coming out of Pellegrini's office that day, it is very rare for Fan Bizhuang to leave the training ground after training, and there has been no training for the following days.

"It's been almost half a month since we've practiced together, have we? Diego even asked me privately if something was wrong with you, or if you didn't want him to be your exclusive training goalkeeper anymore. I told him that there was no such thing...... But I think you'll have to talk to him, and it's better to call him tomorrow to practice with him, or else the kid won't know what kind of weird associations he will have. ”

Riquelme said in a relaxed tone, and he turned the ball on the ground upside down with his feet, bouncing it back and forth skillfully and fluently.

In the past, when he did this, Fan Bizhuang would take a few steps back and wait for Riquelme to pass the ball, he completed the air relay and then tossed and turned on his feet, but this time, Riquelme kicked the football over, Fan Bizhuang did not retreat, nor did he stretch his feet to complete the relay, the ball fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and rolled into the distance.

Fan Bizhuang didn't go to watch football, just stood where he was, looked at Riquelme fixedly, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

“……”

Riquelme felt like a punch on the cotton, but he still shouted at his back unwillingly, "Aren't you going to say something?" ”

"I'm tired, Roman."

Fan Bizhuang stopped, but his body did not turn, Riquelme could not see the expression on his face, "I know what you want to say to me." What I want to say is, don't worry, I'm fine and don't have any problems. I just want to be alone and think things through. ”

"How long are you going to think?"

"I don't know, maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's the day after tomorrow, maybe it's going to take longer, who knows."

Dropping such a sentence, Fan Bizhuang took another step and gradually drifted away.

Riquelme shook his head helplessly, he was helpless when he met a person like Fan Bizhuang who was stinky and hard as a stone. Everything can only depend on Fan Bizhuang himself, and others can't help him anymore.

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

Riquelme felt that his worries were a little unnecessary, and in the following days, although Fan Bizhuang remained silent, his attitude and energy in training were very strong.

At the weekend, Van Bizhuang was extremely active against Sporting Gijón as if in response to the media's doubts and criticisms, and his form seemed to be back to his level, in which he first assisted Forlan to score the leading goal in the first half, and in the second half, he scored twice with a long-range shot and a free kick to give his team a comfortable 3-0 home victory.

Fan Bizhuang was elected MVP after the game, he took the champagne given to him by the organizing committee, and happily accepted interviews with reporters from all walks of life.

This made all the teammates feel relieved, feeling that Fan Bizhuang had come out of the trough. Riquelme felt that something was wrong, but it was a good thing that the team won, and Fan Bizhuang confirmed that his form was okay with two shots and one pass, so he didn't think much about it.

Three days later, the European competition was back in full swing as Villarreal travelled to Athens, the capital of Greece, where they will face traditional Greek giants Panathinac in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-knockout tie in the mythical city of Norse mythology.

The results of the draw for the eighths of the knockout round have long been out, I have to say, Villarreal's luck can be described as enviable, before struggling with the question of whether to be the first in the group, in order to show the team's indomitable bravery, Villarreal went all out to win the honor of the top spot in the group, originally thought that they would encounter a European powerhouse in the knockout round, but they did not expect to hit the big luck, they met the second place in Group B, Panathinax from Greece.

This is indeed good luck, in the previous group stage of Group B, Panathinax achieved two losses and three wins in the first five group games, temporarily ranked first in the group, even Inter Milan such a traditional European giants were pressed under them, in the final round against the weakest opponent in the group Alososi, a draw can win the first place in the group, Panathinax just lost the game, and was finally overtaken by Inter Milan, and can only qualify as the second in Group B.

According to normal circumstances, Villarreal should face the opponent should be Inter Milan, which is not an easy opponent to deal with, even if it stumbles in the Champions League group stage this season, but there are still three nails in the broken boat, the big family is the big team, Villarreal wants to successfully qualify, it is almost impossible not to pay two hard battles.

Unexpectedly, Panathinax died by himself and made himself the second group in Group B, which made Villarreal pick up a big bargain - they are really grateful to the Greek champions, although few teams that can enter the knockout stage of the Champions League are soft persimmons, but relatively speaking, Panathinax is undoubtedly the type of strength among the sixteen teams that have successfully qualified, which greatly increases the possibility of Villarreal going further.

Of course, the increased hope of promotion does not mean that the final result must be Villarreal's successful promotion to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, anything can happen on the football field, and what Villarreal has to do is to go all out to minimize the possibility of accidents.

All the members of Villarreal arriving in Greece will stay at the Hilton Hotel in the heart of the city, and in the evening, they will be played at the Aposteropolos Nicleidis Stadium, the venue for the second day of the tournament (the name of the home stadium in Greece is so long, I am desperate!). Perform adaptive training.

After nearly two hours of training, Villarreal returned to the hotel, and to the surprise of Fan Bizhuang and the others, they saw a familiar face in the hotel lobby.

"Long time no see, my friends."

Abarina stood on the edge of the service desk, looking at the old guys who came towards her, and smiled brightly.
