Even though he was sweating profusely and exhausted after the game, when he saw this scene, Shengti, who was the protagonist of everyone, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's a fantastic feeling to be back in the main European leagues and to win here, a sense of accomplishment that has not been matched by many previous competitions, and there is no doubt that Santiago is enjoying it. Looking at the constantly flickering lights and the microphones printed with major mainstream media, he finally couldn't help but smile while affirming his choice.

"Atletico? Oh, it's a really strong team, it's a tough game to win, Calderón is a great stadium, the atmosphere at home is breathtaking, to win here can be the result of the hard work of everyone in the team, 2:1 doesn't guarantee that we will qualify, I don't think anyone will be stupid enough to be complacent about it. ”

"As for my national team teammates, they are also very strong, it is not that I beat them, this statement is wrong, I can't accept it."

After two typical La Liga matches, Santiago has fully appreciated the style and atmosphere of this mainstream European league, which can be said to be very suitable for themselves, and it is definitely the right decision. However, Santi is still not careless, his words are very careful, he does not want to cause any unnecessary trouble, after feeling that he has won the initial trust and support of Villarreal fans, Santi's next step is to completely establish himself here.

And public opinion is a point that no player can ignore.

Sure enough, Saint-Tiago's humble words in an interview after the game were well received by Villarreal's local media and fans, and then recalling the period of joining the team, Saint-Tilgo has not made any negative news, and people have a good impression of this Argentine who is very good at ability and life, and is no longer entangled in the belittlement and ridicule of the European mainstream media before the arrival of Saintie.

After a short break after the first leg of the Copa del Rey against Atletico Madrid, the Yellow Submarine soon welcomed their next league opponents.

On February 15, in the 23rd round of La Liga, Villarreal challenged Racing Santander away.

Racing Santander were undoubtedly a standard dark horse last season, with a sixth-place finish earning them a ticket to the UEFA Cup, but the new season has been a serious challenge for the team on multiple fronts with the arrival of the decorated manager Marcelino in Zaragoza.

Therefore, although Santander maintains a mid-table result in the league, it is also in the most tense period of the third-line battle, and their situation is not as good as Villarreal's in terms of personnel and configuration can be imagined.

Villarreal had already studied Santander before the game, and Pellegrini and his coaching staff had always believed that the team's success was not due to the individual performance of a single star, but because teamwork was the main theme, and in order to successfully beat this team they had to show a stronger side than them, and find a way to hinder Santander's teamwork.

Normally, this is not an easy and easy plan, but Racing Santander, who have no clear trade-offs in the third-tier battle, have shown irreversible fatigue under frequent matches, and Villarreal immediately launched a fierce attack after seizing this point, attacking their defence with a mix of main players and young players.

In the face of a tired opponent, Saint-Tiago sent a number of through balls in a row in this game and successfully created two assists to help the team win the game with a score of 2:0.

The amazing results of one goal and three assists in three games have shocked countless media who previously questioned Santi, no one questioned the intensity and moisture of these three games, most fans are talking about this commendable Riquelme II, compared to the title of the successor of Veron, who is loud in Serie A, in the Love Song Stadium, Riquelme II is undoubtedly the highest evaluation of a midfielder in the eyes of Yellow Submarines.

In this regard, in an exclusive interview with local media in Villarreal, although he smiled on his face and felt MMP in his heart, he still endured it, showing a look of "joy", and repeatedly said that the title given to him by the fans was the best spur and encouragement for himself. It's just that the chatter on the road after the interview exposed the fact that St. Ty was not satisfied with the title, and Isabella, the agent who had been busy with her feet during this time, was also helpless, and more often gave St. Tí a big look.

As an agent, Isabella couldn't be more satisfied with the title, and even after learning that some fans called out the title, she also deliberately added fuel to the fire. Almost the same resume and background as Riquelme make Villarreal fans have a higher sense of identity with Santi, and at the same time have higher expectations, compared to the simple name of Santiago, the two titles of Riquelme II and Veron's successor are simply a shortcut to regain the name of Santi in Isabella's eyes.

After all, in the mainstream league, Santi, the almost forgotten golden boy, is naturally not as good as the legend of the two midfield gods who have retired to the A-League.

Although Riquelme and Veron do not deal with each other, in an interview with the media, they still praised Stanti for standing on the same position.

Riquelme: "He's an absolute genius, a talented midfielder, his ceiling won't be lower than mine, but definitely above the other. “

Veron: "Even though I didn't spend much time with Santiago in the national team, whether in Serie A or La Liga, he always showed something jaw-dropping when he met him on the pitch, and he improved extremely quickly, which is undoubtedly a real talent! The only one who can limit him is himself! What the? What do you say Riquelme's assessment? As for Riquelme, I don't want to talk about him. “

No one expected that the interview about Santy would become a platform for the two to suddenly start a verbal fight, and the media immediately followed up after a moment's pause. Seeing this, Saint Tiago couldn't help but pat his head, revealing a helpless expression, these two big guys are really people who can't be idle!!
