"Pellegrini? That stubborn Chilean? Oh God, Santi, I can't imagine that you chose Villarreal in the end! ”

Riquelme at this time is indeed very relaxed, Hawaii's sun and sand have allowed the absolute core of Boca's great contribution last season to recuperate physically and mentally, although there are still disturbing media around him from time to time to disturb his wonderful vacation, but whether it is the number of media or the Hawaiian sunshine compared to Buenos Aires in the cold winter, how can it be a little more than Buenos Aires, which is in the cold of winter?

However, Riquelme, who was in a relaxed mood at the moment, immediately turned from sunny to cloudy soon after meeting San Tiago.

Finding Romy's appearance, Santhiago chuckled in his heart, knowing that Riquelme was still prejudiced against Chilean engineers, and in such a situation, Santhiago felt that his current situation was really embarrassing.

Seriously, since returning to Boca, whether in the club or in the national Olympic team, he has been supported by Riquelme to quickly regain his footing, after all, as one of the leading figures in Argentine football now, Riquelme's closeness to himself will more or less make the rest of the players feel good about him.

But at the moment, if it is forgivable that he did not express his position in the incident of Riquelme's angry withdrawal from the national team, then this time, it is really inauthentic to be ready to throw himself into the arms of a coach who does not deal with Riquelme.

Seeing Riquelme's transformation from stunned to silent, Santhiago didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only play mechanically with Riquelme's youngest daughter while waiting for Riquelme to speak again.

In Riquelme's professional resume, Villarreal is a page that cannot be turned. For the past few years, he has been playing the role of captain of the yellow submarine. It was his arrival in the 2003-04 season that made Villarreal, a newly promoted team, the biggest surprise of La Liga that season, but in fact, the reason for the complete intensification of Riquelme's conflict with the club was because after the 06 World Cup, Villarreal sold Sorin to Hamburg for 3 million euros, which caused Riquelme's extreme dissatisfaction.

The Argentine relationship led Riquelme to intercede for Sorrin, but Sorin ended up going to the Bundesliga. Riquelme was unhappy with the incident, and his relationship with manager Manuel Pellegrini was at a freezing point, so it was natural for him to resist emotions and behaviour in training and games. Just after the defeat to Osasuna, Manuel Pellegrini showdown Riquelme in the dressing room: "Don't play here, find another way!" My mistake was that I shouldn't have sold Thorin alone, I should have sold you with you! ”

It was not irretrievable that things had developed to this point, but it was none other than himself who finally made Riquelme leave Villarreal, his closed-minded and withdrawn contradictory personality. On days when there was no ball to play, Villarreal president Roig had stepped in to mediate between Riquelme and Pellegrini, but the Argentine's attitude made him desperate.

'If Romi had been able to say, 'We have a misunderstanding but I'm willing to keep playing here,' and all the problems would have been solved. "But he said coldly, 'Go talk to my agent.'" ”

Anyone who comes into contact with Riquelme will have the impression that he is an introverted and low-key person, but this is only one side of Riquelme's personality, and deep down, he longs for himself to be different, and wants to have the privilege of being different from others. In Villarreal, Riquelme has the closest parking space to the training ground, which is not available to other players; After the game, as long as Riquelme is unwilling to be interviewed, the club will send someone to block the reporter, which is also difficult for others to expect; As for salary, Riquelme is the first person with a high salary in the Yellow Submarine, and his after-tax income of 4 million euros a season is ranked first even in giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, not to mention Villarreal, which is in the entrepreneurial stage.

Thinking of this, Santiago couldn't help but complain a little about himself, in the eyes of outsiders, the proud and withdrawn Riquelme does have many flaws, but at least for himself, Riquelme is a qualified friend and even a teacher.

"Romy, me"

"That's it! Don't make a fake look! “

Just as Santi was about to introduce this unpleasant conversation in his own way, Riquelme suddenly straightened up from the beach, asked his wife to take her little daughter away, and said with a straight face.

"I, Romy, you misunderstood, I'm not" Hearing this, Saint-Tiago's heart was cold, and he wanted to explain but didn't know where to start, he couldn't say that it was all for his career development!

"Isn't it? Isn't it a transfer to Villarreal? Why is a Boca man still so twisted and pinched! I'll tell you, Pellegrini's damn Chilean is very stubborn! It's just an old stubborn who doesn't eat oil and salt! Perhaps because he has been in South America for too long, he will never allow any player to be late or not active in training sessions at Villarreal! Don't lose my face there! “

"I mean, what? Ugh"

"Ahhhh Why, isn't that so? Who in the world doesn't know about your relationship with me and what I have achieved in Villarreal? Once you're there, you're going to need someone to carry the team's load! The fans will compare the results you have played with the results I have played! The media will also find fault with you in every detail! You've got to get ready, hmph, my successor isn't that easy to do! As for that guy Peron, don't listen to those media people who give you random hats! ”

Riquelme's facial expression on his face did not change in any way, but his loud scolding or teaching sounded like heaven to Santi, and after a short moment of stunnedness, Santi finally came back to his senses and was relieved, he knew that Riquelme still chose to forgive himself after all.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, St. Ty! As a professional footballer, I certainly understand your struggle, idiot! The first leg back in Europe is a real thing to be careful about, Villarreal is very good for you in every way, the only thing you have to be aware of is that people often compare you to what you used to be, you have to get used to that, and the other thing is your coach! ”

Riquelme shook his head and said angrily.

After he withdrew from the national team, he watched the friendly match in which Santi was alone, and it can be said that he was very disappointed, not only for the national team, but also for Santiago, in Riquelme's opinion, Santi should have done better. As for today's conversation, in fact, after Southampton's financial bankruptcy broke out, Riquelme already had a hunch that Santhiago would be linked to Villarreal.

Don't treat him like a fool who doesn't listen to anything outside the window because of his vacation!

After hearing the exact news from the person concerned in Santi just now, Riquelme didn't feel a trace of anger at first, after all, he was regarded as a little brother and had been taking care of Santiago, who had been protecting him, to go to the club and the head coach who was shining at the beginning, but was finally swept away, how could he not have negative emotions? But after seeing Saintie's embarrassed expression, Riquelme, who was already in his prime, finally walked out of this dead end quickly.

He knew that the current Santi had no choice.

The difference between a club that qualifies for the Champions League and the average club is a world apart, and there are even fewer clubs like Villarreal that have both Champions League qualification and Champions League quality. Looking at the entire European football scene, in addition to those giants, there are only a few left, so compared to Villarreal, the best conditions in all aspects are still Villarreal.

As Riquelme, who also chose to go to Spain, he naturally understands Santi's choice very well.

It's impossible to let Santi choose a club with a low starting point because of his adult past! Even if Stanti really wanted to do this, he would definitely do it and scold this fool!

Calm down and think about it, Riquelme also smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that the midfielder from Boca will always form an indissoluble bond with Villarreal! And he is bound to be the object of Villarreal fans and media talk and memories again for a long time to come!

Love Song Field

In this way, after untying the shackles of their hearts, the awkward atmosphere between the two quickly dissipated, and then, at Riquelme's invitation, Santhiago stayed for dinner with the family, and did not leave until late at night. During this time, Riquelme told Santilgo a lot about the Villarreal club and the problems that can be encountered in Spain.

Although Saint-Tiago, who felt very happy in his heart, wanted to pick up the wine glass several times to thank Riquelme for his help, but under the scolding of the other party, he dispelled this idea, in Riquelme's words, since you have almost quit, why bother to hold the wine glass again? You know, in Villarreal, there is a more stern manager!

He won't let the money go for nothing without looking at a player who can't play, and he won't let Santi become a second Riquelme.

At the same time, as Santi's agent, Isabella's negotiations with Villarreal's high-level are also progressing rapidly, and it can be seen that Huang Qian is very interested in bringing in Santi.
