Chapter 280: League Sprint (Part II)

After the big win over Osasuna, Villarreal remained fourth in the league standings, while Sevilla FC followed by a narrow 1-0 away win over Valladolid in this round of fixtures, which kept them on points and the two teams remained level on points. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But there is also good news, that is, fifth-placed Valencia have fallen behind, and they lost an unexpected 2-0 at home to relegation team Levante, which further widened the gap between them and the top four teams, and even the table was overtaken by Mallorca and Almeria to fall to eighth place.

Theoretically, the Bat Army still have a place to qualify for the top four and the Champions League next season, but while everyone is struggling to move forward, Valencia is dropping the chain on its own, and it will be difficult to rush up again. It can be said that if there is no big surprise, they don't expect the Champions League, and in the remaining league games, it is only right to work hard and fight for a place in the Europa League.

Valencia's situation is insignificant to most people, after all, life is not good, it is someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with themselves. But for Villarreal, this is encouraging news.

No way, the grievances between the two teams have been a long time, they don't like each other, plus Villarreal is the oppressed side most of the time, and now they are coaxing, always calling themselves the big brother of Valencia, the league ranking is lower than their own, and there is not much hope of entering the Champions League, which is enough to make the people of the small town feel extremely happy!

Let you be embarrassed, let you be presumptuous, let you be self-righteous!

The people in the city are amazing, no matter how amazing they are, it's not just about following our ass and eating ashes! No matter how awesome it is, you still don't have your share in the Champions League qualification, you can only watch us angrily and unwillingly, if you want to catch up, envy and jealousy!

The people of the small town are singing and dancing, as if they are celebrating the holidays, and it doesn't matter if they can finally make it to the European arena, but as long as they see their sworn enemies doing worse than themselves, it is also a good thing to be happy.

The people of the small town unscrupulously mocked the arrogant city people, and even the players of the submarine did not forget to brush their faces after the game and sprinkle a handful of salt on the wounds of their sworn enemies in the same district.

Speaking on a TV show, Van Bizhuang was asked by the host if Villarreal would be able to qualify for next season's Champions League: "There's no doubt about it, my partners and I are working tirelessly on this and we will keep going until we manage to keep the team in the top four." ”

Speaking of this, Fan Bizhuang paused slightly, and then a bright smile appeared on his face, he looked at the camera of the scene, and seemed to be speaking to the audience in front of the TV, but in fact, the next paragraph was speaking to Valencia.

"Some people, sorry, here, I don't really want to name them directly, you know, I'm a humble and kind player, sometimes I have to be afraid of other people's feelings, anyway, you just know who I'm talking about."

Fan Bizhuang's description of his humility and kindness made many viewers in front of the TV spit with laughter on the spot, as long as he is a normal person, he knows that Fan Bizhuang has a bad temper.

That's not all, the next paragraph of the "brazen" Fan Bizhuang almost pointed at other people's noses to start the mockery mode.

"Some people ...... Yes, they have always considered themselves to represent the entire region, they are a banner of football in this region. I don't know where their self-confidence comes from, or where their sense of superiority comes from. But what I want to say is that if results are the capital that a team can be willful, then well, from today onwards, we will take over the football banner in this region...... Hah, who keeps us in the league higher than you? Who allowed us to compete for a place in the Champions League, and you ...... Hey! ”

This is a big truth, but the way of expression, as well as Fan Bizhuang's expression when he said this, how to look at it and how to be beaten, at least the Valencia fans who watched the show in front of the TV had their noses crooked, not so shameless, even damaged and scolded, and even pulled other people's wounds and sprinkled salt over and over again!

Many Valencia fans burst into foul language on the spot, but on the other side, the supporters of the submarine were almost bent over with laughter, and Fan Bizhuang's words made them feel comfortable from the inside out!

For the sworn enemies of the derby, they have to be so ruthless, how to make them unhappy!

What makes submarine fans even more excited is that as if stimulated by Van Bizhuang, many Villarreal players have also appeared in public one after another, expressing their disdain for "certain teams" while expressing their strong confidence in the team's entry into the European arena.

"Ha, we are different from some teams, we are using practical actions, step by step, towards our goals. And they ...... Ha, they will only be who themselves are the football banner of the xxx region! Banner? Can this be eaten as a meal? ”

"I think at the end of the season, we will still be in the top four of the league, some people, don't be jealous and hateful!"

'We're not like some teams, we're going to be European teams and they're ...... Hey, hey, hey! ”

'Don't compare us to some teams, it's not that we're proud, it's ...... Hey, let me find out, where are they in the standings? Hmm, I can't find it...... Alas, what a pity! ”

“……”

In a place where Valencia fans hate each other and a small town where there is a lot of fun, Villarreal is happy to be on the road again.

At this stage, Villarreal will face two consecutive rounds of away games, with Villarreal heading to the industrial city of Zaragoza in the northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula in the middle of the month.

In this game, Villarreal played the main force. Although Zaragoza fought hard for their own relegation fate, the difference in quality between the two teams was too obvious, and the visitors scored a goal in each half to easily take away three points from La Romarda Stadium 2-0.

It is worth mentioning that the team's first goal came from Diego. Forlan, who scored Uruguay's 19th league goal of the season, is currently the top scorer in the charts, three goals ahead of second-placed Real Madrid star Ruud van Nistelrooy, and if this steady stream of goals continues, then it is very likely that Forlan will win the league golden boot at the end of the season.

It will also be Villarreal's first-ever league Golden Boot, and if Forlan wins this honour, it will surely erect a new monument for the club.

The team's second goal came from Marcus. Senna, who has missed most of the games for Spain this season due to constant injuries, returned from injury and came on as a replacement for Hosiko in the 75th minute and found the back of the net with a late long-range strike. It was Senna's first league goal of the season, which is a bit of a long-awaited experience.

After a four-day break, the team continued to sail - this time it was also an away game, but the opponent Levante was a team from the east of Valencia, which was half a home game.

is also a small club, Levante's fate is very different from Villarreal's. Levante currently sit bottom of La Liga and, barring any surprises, will be in the second division at the end of the season. Villarreal, on the other hand, is full of scenery and has overcome obstacles all the way, and is now full of ambition to enter the European arena next season.

It's all in Valencia, it's all a small club, but this fate is completely different.

Levante must be envious of Villarreal, but he is helpless, this is the reality of the football world, whoever is strong is on it, and whoever is not good, get out of here!

In this small derby game, Levante's resistance was very tenacious, their posture was very low, and they were in a desperate situation for almost the whole game, no matter how Villarreal attacked and lured, Levante just didn't come out, and he wanted to swing the bus from beginning to end.

It wasn't until the 87th minute that Villarreal struggled to score, the goal was scored by Van Bizhuang, and the assist was Cazorla, who put a free kick from Cazorla into the opponent's door, and the "meal card combination" once again exerted its power and once again grabbed three points for the submarine at a critical moment.

"It's an incredible scene, the 'Meal Card Combo' always brings unexpected surprises to the fans at critical times!"

"I don't know what to say anymore, Villarreal's life is really hard enough, and when someone needs to step up, Fan will always be the first to appear. Of course, Santiago also has a share of the credit, and the two will always work together to bring victory to the team! ”

The commentators at the scene were amazed.

With a score of 1:0, Villarreal ushered in two consecutive wins in the sprint stage of the league, while consolidating their fourth place in the standings, but also laying a solid foundation for the top four in the league.

But the real test is when the real test comes, and in the next round, Villarreal will host third-placed Atletico Madrid, in the most direct battle for Champions League qualification, and a match for the two teams' standings.

With a win for Atletico Madrid, they will continue to hold on to third place in the league and possibly even run for second place, while a win for Villarreal will see them temporarily occupy third place in the league.

A gap in the rankings, but on the way to next season's Champions League, they can take the lead, at least there is room for maneuver, even if they make mistakes in the rest of the league, there is a chance to correct them, so as not to fall directly out of the top four in the league.
