Chapter 214: A midfield master who has paid for his recovery

The reality is that fans are generally optimistic about the addition of Brazilian international striker Nirma da Silva and Racing Santander rising star Ivan Marcano, even if the latter is likely to be loaned out to practice, but Banega does not buy it, and even many excited fans even issued fierce words directly under the official blog of Villarreal FC, expressing that they do not welcome Banega's arrival.

The academy talent, who is also produced by Boca and has attracted the attention of major European clubs, has been hit hard, and he has been so boycotted before he has officially met his teammates and fans, which Banega never expected before.

After thinking about it again, after the official announcement of the signing of the contract, Banega also rushed to the club's training ground in advance, and told the reporters who interviewed him that he would train with Santo Thiago this month, and strive to familiarize himself with the club environment as soon as possible, so as to contribute his best after the start of the season.

Although Villarreal fans knew that Banega's words were likely to be just good words, it was clear that this also played a role, so many Villarreal fans and media waited outside the training ground every day to supervise Banega, waiting for the day when they could slap each other in the face.

However, at this time, Banega did have the intention to follow Saint-Tiago to do a great career in Villarreal, and for a few days, he arrived at the training ground on time every day for training, and he looked like he had changed his past, which made the Villarreal fans who had been observing him feel a lot more relieved, but only Saint-Tiago knew that this kid had a lot of complaints behind his back.

From the basics of passing to knee training, under the supervision of the fans, Ba Nega passively followed the continuous training of Santiago, and the days passed like this, and the news of the outside transfer market did not disturb the world of Santi anymore, and everything seemed to pass in peace, until half a month later, the quiet training ground ushered in the third Villarreal player.

Pire, who has returned from injury.

When it comes to Pire, this is definitely a bigwig-level figure, even if he is no longer at his peak at this time, gradually entering a period of decline and suffering from injuries, but he is far above Santy and Banega in terms of fame and status. At the moment on the training ground, he suddenly saw the player he had to look up to, and Saintie was also slightly surprised, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

No one can live a lifetime on the credit book, not to mention that Pire's credit is relative to the Gunners Arsenal, and as for Villarreal, I'm afraid that the Yellow Submarine fans at this time are only Saint-Tiago.

Now the positions of the two are not overlapping, if they can be accommodated, then it will be beneficial to the team, and if not, then the respect for the old-timers that remains in Santi's heart will just disappear.

With this in mind, Santiago took the initiative to walk up and greet Pire, "Hey, Robert, how do you feel?" It's great to see you at this time, and it looks like we'll be able to go all together next season!! ”

Surprisingly, in the face of Santi's initiative to release goodwill, the French international's response was more eager, and after a commercial blow, the three of them started a heated conversation, and then started training together.

Originally from leaving Arsenal to join Villarreal, Pire's career quickly entered a period of decline, which is of course due to his age, and more importantly, in the face of an unfamiliar league environment, he not only has to take on great responsibilities, but also is plagued by injuries, which has greatly affected his performance, and Villarreal's senior management regretted his behavior of spending a high salary of 50,000 yuan a week to support the midfielder.

In this case, Piret naturally wants to prove himself again, he knows very well that Villarreal is inferior to Arsenal in all aspects except for the current results, and if he fails to regain his strength here, his next proud midfield maestro will have to face a retirement and a gold-making career in the local tyrant league.

Therefore, after feeling the kindness of Santi's initiative to release, Pire immediately climbed up the pole, and when he was lying on the hospital bed, he did not give up his attention to the club, and naturally knew that Santi's current strength and his status in the club, if the two cooperated, then it was likely to be a win-win situation, plus Banega, who was obviously a friend of Santi, as long as he could get along with these two, then Villarreal could also keep his place in Villarreal, which gradually returned to the road of South Americanization.

I have to say that it's a bit cruel to have so much to worry about for a once top world midfielder, but that's the way football is.

On the training ground, after the three of them completed some training that was not very intense, Banega rolled his eyes and took the initiative to say: "Why don't we go and have fun!" ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes towards Santiago, who also quickly understood Banega's intentions and became a little excited.

Seeing this scene, Pire was stunned, he looked up at the sun hanging in the sky and the number of fans outside the training ground, and suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient, what time is it, what

"Oh, Robert, don't think about it, we're talking about football, a very popular soccer game in South America!"

Sainti turned his head with a smile and saw Pire's hooded face, and immediately reacted that this guy must have misunderstood himself, and blamed Banega for his bad image, and he would be misunderstood when he played streetball, so he could only quickly explain to Pire, hoping that the other party would not misunderstand.

Sure enough, Pire misunderstood the two, and after some explanation, he realized that the two of them wanted to play street football, so he quickly nodded and agreed, and the three of them packed up and walked towards Banega's parking lot.

As early as Argentina, Santi had signs of being hooked on the sport, when he played two 3v3 street football cage matches with Banega and others, which was indeed very entertaining and exciting, but I didn't expect that Banega would still miss it after so long, and Santi was also aroused in his heart. In his opinion, this is indeed a good opportunity to relax, and it is also a good opportunity to improve everyone's tacit understanding and make friends in the process.

Soon they arrived at their destination, parked the car on the side of the street, and a few people came to the square, although it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, but it was not too late for streetball, and it could even be said that it had just begun, and there were many streetball lovers on the field, some of whom had already started playing. Different from professional football, after street football was introduced to Europe, because its requirements for venues and participants were relatively casual, and it was highly entertaining and widely participated, it was quickly favored by football lovers from all over the world, especially recognized by most young people.

In the streets and alleys of every city in Europe, people can see teenagers playing football, just like the Plaza de Valno that Santi and others see now. Street soccer is not only a popular sport in European countries, but is also seen as a good way to stop violence and help immigrants integrate into society. After a long period of accumulation and evolution, street football has become a unique street culture composed of various elements such as one-on-one, three-on-three iron cage games, five-on-five small field football, and this time Santi and others are ready to try 3-on-3 small field football.

Similar to the rules of professional football, small street football also has a goalkeeper, with penalties and substitutes, but the field is much smaller. At present, Santi and others Banega walked into a small field under the leadership of Santi, and Santi took a cursory look at the court, which is about 30 meters long and about 20 meters wide, which is more than half smaller than a professional football field.

"Hey, boy, you're finally here, we waited for you for a long time and thought you didn't dare to come today, what's the matter? You brought two rappers with you this time?!!! Seeing Banega and the others walking into the entrance, several young people sitting on the other side got up and walked over, led by a brown-haired and jeans who was obviously the captain, he couldn't help but smile after seeing Santy and the others behind Banega.

In fact, it's no wonder that the brown-haired young man would say such a thing, because before getting out of the car, the Santi people dressed themselves up a little in order to avoid trouble, a cap, a beard pasted on it, and a long T-shirt, if it weren't for people who were familiar with them, they really couldn't see their true identity, and it was because of this that the brown-haired little brother complained about being a rapper.

But compared to them, Banega's outfit is the most unpredictable, with large sunglasses, unkempt wigs, and colorful rings on his fingers. Judging by the brown-haired youth's speech and tone, Banega must have come here under a pseudonym to play football regularly. In the face of the ridicule of the brown-haired youth, Banega didn't care, because this time he was determined to win! He couldn't wait to see the other party's wonderful expression.

"Look, won't our little Villarreal team still play against you this time?" Banega muttered to himself at first, then he raised his head and said with a fighting spirit: "Stop talking nonsense, Teucer, we will always talk with the football under our feet." Let's get started."

But Santi looked up at Banega thoughtfully, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this guy seems to be a little familiar with the people here! Could it be that he had been in Villarreal before? It's not fun, I wanted to pretend to be a force, walk over and say, "Hey, buddy, let's add a group!" Look, we don't know how to do it, but now we can only start the game directly under the taunts of others.
