Under the excited roar of the commentator on the spot, Santiago made a flying movement towards Tomasenke, who provided cover for him, and Cazorla and the two ran towards each other, and the three hugged each other tightly, and Rossi and others rushed over excitedly and knocked Santiago down. This goal is too important for Villarreal and they used it to tell Spain and everyone in Europe that they are not just a team that can only dominate the middle of La Liga, they have the ability to play on a bigger stage and show themselves here!!

For a while, the away fans of the Bernabeu were in a carnival, and Villarreal, thousands of miles away, was filled with countless streamers and fireworks in the air, and the whole town was dyed yellow, and commentators from various TV stations did not hesitate to praise the words of admiration in their mouths, "I didn't expect that it would be Villarreal who took the lead through such a cooperation, and this goal is completely the product of team cooperation, completely subverting the previous situation of relying on the individual ability of the stars to score goals!!!! ”

"Who would have predicted that Villarreal, who looked scrambled under Real Madrid's attack in the opening game, would score ahead of Real Madrid? Seeing the excitement of Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini on the sidelines, we can conclude that even he himself did not expect !!!!!! ”

"A seamless fit!!!!! What kind of tacit understanding is this? Santiago skillfully used the bodies of Diarra and others to successfully cover himself! It's not just a performance of skills, it's a performance of players!!!!! What a player! Amazing ball skills, unbridled imagination and breathtaking reflexes! If this development continues, it is not surprising that I can assert that in the future his achievements will never be lower than Van der Vaart, who is standing opposite him at this time! ”

"This is the first time in almost three days that Santiago has proved their quality with Real Madrid, one of Europe's top giants!!! I think Galliani must be having a hard time right now! Such a good player doesn't have to sell at all! They could have saved a lot of money on the transfer and this good midfielder is more than enough to replace anyone!

At this moment, Galliani can only watch his players play for Villarreal in vain and make countless achievements for him!!!! ”

In stark contrast, Real Madrid's superstars did not expect their side to concede the goal first, and in this way, they were angry, for them it was undoubtedly a kind of deception, and they did not dare to prove against themselves, but used this method!!

Cannavaro kicked the ball into the stands in a rage, and he didn't expect to be attracted by the feints of Tomasson and others, so that Santiago could succeed, and it can be said that the goal conceded was directly related to his misjudgment, and they knew they had to respond!!!!!!

As a traditional giant, Real Madrid naturally did not suffer too much from conceding a goal first, and Cannavaro's anger was due to the feeling that he was being played, but it was precisely because of Villarreal's goal that further aroused their fighting spirit.

Sure enough, after the restart, the Real Madrid players launched a fierce counterattack in order to be able to rely on this morale to quickly equalize, in the face of their attack, the Villarreal players, who were still immersed in the joy of the goal, were unable to react for a while, and were pressed to the ground and beaten violently.

In the 38th minute, Xavi Garcia was booked for a foul in the opponent's penalty area, and in the 40th minute, Van der Vaart took a free kick and Raul shot wide from distance.

Two minutes later, Xavi Garcia headed wide from a corner, and Heinze's header was deflected wide.

Forty-three minutes later, Gonzalo Rodriguez fouled Huntelaar in front of the penalty area, and Van der Vaart's 25-yard free-kick was saved by Vieira.

Thankfully, Real Madrid didn't finish scoring in the first half, which allowed the sailors of the yellow submarine to escape and get a respite.

When the players of both teams walked towards the dressing room at the whistle of referee Kosol, Real Madrid coach Schuster was on pins and needles in the face of this score, and he was determined to make adjustments at this moment! The Villarreal players, who were still immersed in the excitement of scoring Real Madrid's first goal away from home and holding the score in the first half, naturally did not know anything.

Back in the dressing room, Santiago was greeted with cheers from his team-mates, and as the only player who scored the only goal in the first half, even coach Manuel Pellegrini smiled at him, and it was definitely a matter of pride to be able to take the lead against Real Madrid, but the Chilean engineer did not let up on his laurels, knowing that he would face a counter-attack from Real Madrid in the second half, and it would not be easy to keep the win on the road.

The question now is whether to attack or defend in the second half.

The attack of letting go can not only be won by virtue of the tacit cooperation of Santhiago and Cazorla, and the individual ability of Santiago himself who is not weaker than the Real Madrid stars, but also the leading goal can also help the players to be more free of psychological pressure, but looking at the disciples with a relaxed atmosphere, Pellegrini thought twice and then said: "Gentlemen, the second half of the game will be more difficult, I hope everyone will not take it lightly, Cazorla, you can't make such a mistake again." ”

Saying that, he glanced at Cazorla deeply, although his tone was relaxed and even smiling, but at this moment everyone in the dressing room heard the warning from the coach's mouth, although Cazorla has less experience in playing with such a giant team, facing Raul, Van der Vaart and other world-class stars will inevitably be abnormal, but this game is too important for Villarreal, and there are rumors that Pellegrini has begun to strengthen the personnel in the opening time of the summer window at the end of the season, Everyone doesn't want to go to the bad side.

At that moment, of course, Cazorla knew the deeper meaning, and couldn't help but get up with a red face and said, "Sir, please rest assured that I will not have such a situation again. ”

Pellegrini nodded noncommittally and continued: "In the second half, we will make tactical adjustments, focusing on defense, according to my judgment, Real Madrid will take the initiative to attack in the second half, and the focus of their attack will be the left side of the current Raul and Marcelo partners, our defensive focus will also be moved to the right side for defense, Senna and Ibagasa moved back to form a double back, I believe these two positions have always been what you are good at!"

Santiago continues to be in the middle of the front of the two, and this area of midfield will be your range of activities!

Cazorla is on the right side of Santi and your task is mainly to help the defense, as for Tomasson and Mr. Rossi, the two of you are on the left and right, go hand in hand, and once you form a tackle counter-attack, you will be the two most important points!!!! Then Pellegrini glanced around the dressing room and asked solemnly, "Got it?" ”

Thinking about it again and again, the Chilean engineer still chose to defend, although letting go of the attack with Real Madrid is the best way to win the game, but in the face of the superstars on the Real Madrid front, Pellegrini still has concerns about Villarreal's backline, unlike Real Madrid, a big club can buy top players such as Diarra, Van der Vaart, Cannavaro and Huntelaar after having Robinho, Raul, Guti, etc., Villarreal's retention of the original squad after last season's success has already taken a toll on the club's finances, so where can they afford to make a big addition?

Although the strength of the backline led by Rodriguez is already very good in La Liga, people are afraid of comparison

At this time, the Chileans had no choice but to choose defense, so that the players could support each other to the greatest extent without the battle line being stretched and broken one by one!

Watching the players rush out, Pellegrini was a little worried but also forcibly suppressed in his heart, and finally walked out with a tough face.

"Do you really understand?" Rodriguez looked at the wall of people lined up by Godin and others and asked breathlessly, thinking about this, he glanced back at the Real Madrid generals who were still preparing, and then told his teammates: "Be careful of Van der Vaart's free-kicks, if it is Xavi Garcia's serve, then be careful that he will pass to the receiving point in the box, he is a master of tactical free-kicks!!!! ”

Godin and the others nodded resolutely, indicating that they understood that they were ready to use their bodies to block this dangerous free-kick, and if it was scored, the game would be reversed!!!!

At this moment, Saint-Thiago was also out of breath walking slowly outside the penalty area trying to take advantage of this opportunity to recover more of his strength, not only him, Senna was also retching, almost unable to support it, no one thought that the second half would be like a nightmare for Villarreal's players.

When everyone walked out of the dressing room with confidence, they did not expect that they would be greeted by a full-fledged Real Madrid, and they also felt the so-called giants for the first time, the strength of the bench.

As coach Manuel Pellegrini guessed, the left wing composed of Raul and Marcelo did pose a great threat to Villarreal's line, once crushing the entire wing, as a prolific striker who averaged 17 goals a season, he really deserved to be the banner man of Real Madrid! His existence is already a kind of oppression and invisible pressure in everyone's hearts, let alone on the pitch at the moment, in the face of a goal behind, he is already on fire?
