While the fans were still talking about Fan Bizhuang's award, the hour hand was already pointing to eight o'clock. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The players from both sides have already entered, the referee raised his hand to check the time, blew the whistle in his hand, and the seventeenth round of La Liga officially began.

This first match after the new year has a very different significance for both teams.

Villarreal needless to say, they are currently second in the league and need a win to secure their league position, while at the same time, this is the Stadium of Love Songs, especially with the encouragement of Van Bizhuang and the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans in attendance, they want to take the first step into 2009 with a victory.

As for Real Madrid, they are currently ranked fourth in the league in points, which is good enough for ordinary teams, but for them, this result is not too bad, not much worse, they are the team that wants to compete for the title, not the team that competes for European qualification, this ranking, from club officials to players, to fans, is absolutely unacceptable.

Coupled with the fact that Real Madrid have been winless in three games before, they also want to get a win and announce the return of the great Real Madrid in the new year with a perfect start.

From this point of view, Real Madrid's desire to win is extremely strong. This strong emotion was vividly displayed in the first minute of the game, Real Madrid coach Ramos stood on the sidelines, constantly waving and yelling, under his signal, the Real Madrid soldiers were also actively pressing the attack.

Real Madrid's attack was fierce, with almost no temptation, relying on their strong ensemble and the outstanding individual ability of the stars, constantly pressing the home team in the half, and they quickly dominated the midfield and controlled the attacking tempo.

Just five minutes into the game, Real Madrid had four shots in a row, two of which hit the woodwork, and Raul's shot was just a fraction of a second away from the goal, if it weren't for Diego. López's desperate flying save could have made a dream start for the visitors.

Van Bizhuang's joy at winning the first prestigious and weighty award in the club's history quickly turned into nervousness, with the team's defence being pressed again and again and the fans' faces filled with worry.

"From the very beginning of the game, Real Madrid clearly had the upper hand, they attacked very aggressively and strongly, and our team fell into a passive ......," Arces said in the commentary box. Oh, damn the officials! ”

While remembering Fan Bizhuang, Arces did not forget to complain about the committee that sent the complaint back.

In fact, as Alces lamented, at this time, fans miss Van Bizhuang immensely when he was on the pitch.

Don't influence a team by one person is just empty talk, this season, Villarreal is the most powerful offensive firepower team in La Liga, the most eye-catching of which is the team's arrow figure Fan Bizhuang, in the past sixteen rounds of the league, Fan Bizhuang has scored sixteen goals, the ability to score is terrifying, such a prolific goalscorer, if he is on the field, Real Madrid dares to ignore the crazy onslaught at the back, or a question mark.

In particular, Fan Bizhuang can not only shoot and score by himself, his speed, his breakthrough, and his passing are all powerful weapons, and Real Madrid's crazy offensive style of play will definitely expose a lot of gaps, which gives Fan Bizhuang the opportunity to be active.

An active Fan Bizhuang, can Real Madrid not focus on taking care of it? And as long as they are distracted to defend Van Bizhuang, Villarreal will naturally not face so much defensive pressure.

Therefore, it can be said that Fan Bizhuang is undoubtedly extremely important to the current submarine, with him and without him, they are two teams of different levels.

Even if Pellegrini has put the best cards he can play on the field in this game, the lack of the soul of Van Bizhuang still makes fans feel unreassured.

When the fans were worried, Pellegrini sat in the dugout with a calm face, his eyes staring directly at the field, without any movements or words, as if the situation in the field did not make any waves in his heart.

He was not too surprised, and after confirming the loss of Van Bizhuang in this game, he expected Real Madrid to press his team with a strong attacking approach. After all, Real Madrid are desperate to win and get back on the track of winning the championship, and if Van Bizhuang is present, it may bring some fear and pressure to Real Madrid, but the most threatening player of Villarreal is not there, so Real Madrid will not let go of such a great opportunity.

Before the game, Pellegrini guessed that Real Madrid would attack in the game, as the most powerful offensive firepower team in La Liga this season, if the lineup is complete, he will have the confidence to attack with Real Madrid, but now, his choice is to shrink the line, stabilize the defense, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Although the attacking tactical play is exciting and exciting, professional football is not just about the beauty of the game, many times, the result is the most important thing. Passive defense may not be so good, but Pellegrini doesn't care much, all he wants is a good result, he and his team, although the season has gone on so far, the results are not bad, but after all, it is a small club, and there is no qualification to pick and choose.

In this game, Pellegrini lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, a real 442, with four defenders lined up, Riquelme and Cazorla recovering in a typical central midfield position, while the two midfielders of Mavuba and Senna swept behind him.

On the front line, it is a combination of Rossi and Forlan, the former is more like a forward midfielder, the Italian is young and energetic, not slow, and is a good player to play defensive counterattacks, while the latter is cruising in the front, waiting for possible counter-attacking opportunities at any time.

It can be said that such a line-up was made in response to Real Madrid's onslaught, and Pellegrini is confident that in front of such a barrel-like formation, Real Madrid may attack fiercely at first, but when the home team's players gradually adapt, the defense will also be at ease.

The script was indeed played out according to the prediction of the Chilean engineer, Real Madrid gradually realized the difficulty of the defenders after about seven or eight minutes of furious attack, and the home team's defense was more sticky and tenacious, which greatly limited the pace of their fast attack, and they had to reluctantly turn to positional warfare.

And positional battles are not so easy to play, Villarreal have piled up so many defenders in the central midfield, and there is very little space to dribble and break through, which makes their attack very fluid.

Although the visitors seem to have the initiative in midfield, there is no substantial progress, and Villarreal is like a spring, extremely resilient, no matter how they press the defence, they have withstood it, just not broken.

Although such a "dead defense" is at the expense of the offense, and the scene is not good-looking, Real Madrid just can't go any further, in addition to dominating the advantage, it is difficult to score!

In the corner of the stands, Baldano looked at Juand, who was pacing on the sidelines, waving and yelling. Ramos, with a look of disdain flashing in his eyes, said: "We have taken the initiative in the attack, but there has been no substantial progress...... The bucket formation is a big headache for any team. ”

"Real Madrid are the best team in the world and the opponents will definitely try to deal with it with all kinds of means and the bucket formation is just one of them. This is not surprising. But in any case, Real Madrid should not be held back, the manager ......"

Florentino shook his head, it was clear that he was unhappy with the current Real Madrid helmsman.

In fact, not only the former Real Madrid president, but also Baldano and even the players of the team, and even most of the Real Madrid fans, are very interested in Juander. Ramos is not satisfied, for no other reason, the Spanish coach who has achieved good results in Sevilla, after picking up the whip of Real Madrid, has not been able to achieve convincing results, Real Madrid's current league position is the best reason for fans to attack him.

It's just enough to crush the national derby rival Barcelona, but now that Villarreal, Sevilla and other teams have ridden on the head of Real Madrid, isn't this enough for the Meilinger to be angry?

There have been many questioning and criticism of Ramos, and there are even rumors that Ramos has entered the countdown to the end of class.

This is also the reason why Ramos looks so "impatient" on the sidelines, if Real Madrid under his management does not improve in terms of results, I am afraid that he is really not far from saying goodbye to the Bernabeu.

"Jorge, I heard that the Real Madrid hierarchy seems to be very dissatisfied with this coach Juander and intends to re-select the coach?"

Florentino suddenly spoke again, and Baldano nodded without concealing it: "The board of directors has indeed brought up this topic before, but the club is facing a general election recently, so it has been delayed. Of course, this is also to give Ramos more time, after all, he has not been in charge of the team for long, maybe he will change when he gets familiar with the team. ”

"Changed?"

A mocking smile appeared on Florentino's lips, but he didn't continue to dwell on this issue, thought about it and said, "So is there a suitable candidate?" ”

"There are a few, but now that it's gradually progressing to the middle of the season, many famous and powerful coaches have contracts with them, and there are not many famous coaches who are idle at home, so there are not many options......," Baldano said, as if remembering something, and suddenly pointed to the home team's coach's bench in the field, "By the way, this Manuel coach from Villarreal is also within the scope of the investigation." As you know, the Chilean coach has led Villarreal to great results in recent years, including reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. To be able to bring such a rural team to the semi-finals of the Champions League is also outstanding! ”

Florentino nodded, then shook his head again, looked at Villarreal, who was fully defending, and said softly: "Defense is not the tradition of Real Madrid. ”

Baldano didn't speak again, he understood what Lafayette meant, this sentence implicitly indicated that Real Madrid is a noble team, and it will only defend and not attack the style, which will not be accepted by Real Madrid fans.
