Located on the shores of the Mediterranean, the Stadium of Love Songs can accommodate more than 22,000 fans at the same time, although the scale of the stadium is basically the lowest among the five major leagues, but it is worth mentioning that Villarreal is actually a football club located in Villarreal, in the province of Castellón, in the autonomous community of Valencia, a city of only a few tens of thousands.

In fact, it is not unprecedented.

At the same time, Villarreal played in Spain's lower divisions as a regional team for many years, and it was not until 1998 that the team was promoted to the first division in its history. And after being promoted to the top league, the yellow submarine has sprung up in the new century after a short period of discomfort, becoming a force to be reckoned with in Spanish football and representing Spanish football in the European arena, writing the myth of the new European army.

So from another point of view, before Villarreal was promoted to the first division, it was a regional club that could have a stadium with a capacity of more than 20,000 people, which shows the love of football in this small town.

Viewed from the sky, the blue and yellow color palette is the main color palette, and the light and bright love song stadium is very conspicuous in the Mediterranean-style gray buildings, and the structure is somewhat similar to that of the candy box stadium, which makes Santiago feel quite familiar. After stepping into the Stadium of Love Songs after the press conference, the nearly 1,000 fans who had already arrived here gave a huge cheer, as the club's biggest signing in the winter window this season, although they did not know much about Santi's past performances in the La Liga, the Villarreal fans still had great expectations for him.

At present, Villarreal is in a critical period of multi-front battles, the league has entered the second half of the power stage, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey have also entered the knockout stage, but the weak bench strength undoubtedly limits Villarreal's conquest, in this case, the yellow submarine is in urgent need of fresh blood to join, and fans are unwilling to repeat the mistakes of last season.

You must know that although Villarreal also entered the knockout stage of the Champions League last season, the weak bench strength forced them to give up the league at the cost. In addition, unlike the previous preference for direct South American players, Villarreal's acquisition of Nihat, Pire and Carney in the transfer market in the past two seasons are well-known players who have been in Europe for many years.

However, what people didn't expect was that when Fran was not in good shape and Frango was embarrassed, the Turkish sharp knife Nihat only took on the responsibility of building the city for the submarine for a short period of time, and then quickly disappeared from everyone. On the other hand, people thought that the arrival of Pire and Carney would greatly enrich Villarreal's changes in midfield, but unfortunately Pire unfortunately repeated the mistake of former Arsenal team-mate Edu, who suffered a torn cruciate ligament and needed to recuperate for six months before the start of the new season, and most of the season has been scrapped.

Fortunately, Carney is all right, and as the best assist in Zaragoza's team last season, his quality is undoubted, but then again, not being able to take charge on his own is his biggest problem.

In this regard, in the eyes of the outside world, Santhiago can form a complementary situation with Carney to make up for the frequent changes in the Yellow Submarine after Riquelme's departure, but the midfield has never been stable.

Greeted by the cheers of nearly 1,000 fans, Santiago, wearing the number 8 jersey, looked heroic in the Mediterranean sun, and some small gifts and interactive sessions that had been prepared by the officials finally made the trip worthwhile, and after the meeting, the local media in Villarreal also gave Santo Tiago a relatively high score for its performance during this period.

After moving into his new home, a villa in the heart of Villarreal, with the help of the staff, Santhiago finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the most exhausting and headache of the day was, of course, dealing with the problematic media. Even if Saint-Tiago is full of experience, it took a lot of effort to stand out.

No way, you can't just give the local media a face on the first day here!

Their remarks will go a long way in solving their future public image, and Santiago, who has suffered many times in this regard, has decided to manage his relationship with the media this time.

Having said that, this villa is very good, and the rent of less than 2,000 euros under the luxurious decoration is enough to make Santiago fully feel the sincerity of the Villarreal club in all aspects, and they would not have had to take it all together, but now that they have done so, it has made Santiago even more favorable.

But of course, in the end, everything has to be seen on the court.

On the second day of his public appearance, Santhiago met his teammates for the first time in an open training session on the Yellow Submarine.

Unlike Boca, Villarreal's open training session did not give the players too much time to move their bodies, but quickly began to play in groups after a simple warm-up, which is also a habit in Villarreal's training sessions. Obviously, in Pellegrini's eyes, he values the degree of cooperation and tacit understanding between the whole group more than self-care or a small group warm-up.

Throughout world football, there are countless clubs that have stepped into the top flight as small teams, but they usually choose to go on a debt spree to buy a lot of big-name stars, even if there are countless failures before they look back.

In this regard, in Santo Tiago's view, the Chilean coach has undoubtedly grasped the focus of La Liga and the context in which Villarreal wants to make a name for themselves. Since you can't compete with your competitors in the big stars, you should work on the team. Villarreal was able to step into La Liga from a regional team and rely on this.

Halfway through La Liga, Villarreal is in the top five, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid above the teams. For Villarreal, in addition to the top two giants, a number of La Liga teams such as the Yellow Submarine, which have been thrown away this season, are not much different from each other, and it is not so unattainable to move forward again in the remaining half of the season.

La Liga will be back in action three days later, and Villarreal will host Numancia in the 22nd round.
