The piercing noise surrounded Santiago, looking around the Calderón Stadium, the strong home atmosphere and the tacit understanding of the Atletico Madrid players on the field turned out to be a little buzzing in Santigo's brain for a while, unable to stay awake and make the most favorable judgment.

This is a rare occurrence even in Santiago's so far short career, where the ball is always controlled by Atletico players and it is undoubtedly very difficult for the visitors to get on the ball. And every time Villarreal finally snatched the ball, Atletico Madrid immediately set off a hurricane of counter-attacks, which made it difficult to successfully keep the ball.

Without the familiar ball, losing the feeling of the ball at his feet, Saintty was a little dazed for a while, lost his head, didn't know where to start a counterattack, and could only blindly devote himself to defense, but his addition was only a drop in the bucket for the dangerous situation, and it could not play a decisive role at all.

Listening to the cacophony of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands, Santhiago was on pins and needles, trying to change the situation but to no avail.

"Garcia gets the ball, will he do his best small-scale performance again? However, the Yellow Submarine defender Senna is not a good opponent, he has excellent anticipation ability and is never afraid to use ferocious tackles to disrupt the opponent's attack, slender limbs make his defensive area invisibly expanded, it is very difficult for opponents to break through the player who was chased by Manchester United this summer, Senna has never lacked strong nerves! ”

"Didn't work out? Raul Garcia passed the ball back to Maxi Rodriguez, it looked like Garcia, who had not fully stretched his body shortly after the opening, did not dare to try this precious opportunity, but his teammate Maxi Rodriguez is not in a good position now, Tomasson is in front, Santiago is on the side, and taking the ball in this position is a great test for Maxi Rodriguez's ability to protect the ball, unless he can seize this short gap to pass the ball again, Otherwise, he will face at least two Yellow Submariners. ”

"Beautiful! At the moment of receiving the ball, a Marseille maneuver on the spot narrowly avoided Saint-Tiago's sudden up-and-forth, and then he changed direction to the left, was he going to pass to Aguero on the wing? After directly getting rid of Saint-Tiago, his situation was undoubtedly greatly alleviated, and the other defender of the Yellow Submarine did not dare to grab it immediately because of the presence of Aguero! It's beautiful! ”

Sure enough, a through ball reached Aguero's feet! It's dangerous! The Villarreal are in danger! The best South American player in La Liga last season and the most consistent goalscorer in Atletico Madrid will not let his chances pass by! The Villarreal defense line is like a big enemy! ”

"Changing feet? Oh my God, Aguero embarrassed Josico, one of the Yellow Submarine's double backs, with a beautiful subtle foot movement! Huh? It's time to get up! This location? ”

With the commentators questioning, Aguero's shot went over the bar with a huge sigh from the Calderón Stadium and fired an anti-aircraft cannon.

"Hey" Aguero slapped his face when the ball was deflected, smiled awkwardly and turned to run back.

It wasn't a good position, but Aguero didn't know why he had a strong feeling that he could score in that place, so he didn't think much about it and shot with his foot. Despite the goal, Aguero didn't have any psychological burden, and would a real goalscorer care? What's more, he is now Calderon's well-deserved darling!

Villarreal goalkeeper López caught the ball thrown from the sidelines and put it in front of the goal, and just as he was about to serve, he found his own boss on the sidelines, Mr. Pellegrini, signaling something to him, and he looked towards the position pointed by Peshuai and found that the teammate standing there was none other than San Tiago. López quickly grasped what his manager meant, and although he was very unhappy with Santiago's performance so far, he did not dare to disobey the overall situation, and a pass that was not too hard to send the ball to the feet of Santi.

In this crucial game, Manuel Pellegrini made bold substitutions and set-ups, using Tomasson and Harnett as a double striker for the first time in an important game, not only pressing Tomane to the bench, but also putting Franco, the team's top scorer, on the bench. Frankly, when the tens of thousands of fans at the Calderón Stadium saw this arrangement of Pellegrini, they did not understand that Hanit would be used instead of Franco in such a strangulation match of strong dialogue!

You must know that as Villarreal's most powerful scoring point, Franco's ability is not much to say, and he can help the Yellow Submarine all the way to the knockout round in the Champions League, Franco is even more indispensable, even if Tomasson on loan this season has sprung up, and another striker Harnett is gradually recovering his form, but Franco's role is still irreplaceable in everyone's eyes!

Therefore, not only Atletico Madrid fans have many doubts about Pellegrini's arrangement, but even the Villarreal fans who came with the team are also puzzled, and even TV commentators have a little doubt when reporting Villarreal's starting list.

However, Pei Shuai was expressionless when he saw such a situation, he had already expected this decision when he made it, and he had already talked carefully with Saint-Tiago.

That's right, it's Santiago, not Franco.

Although Pellegrini has always regarded himself as a homeroom teacher in the team, trying to achieve maximum control of the team, he is actually very kind to the players, especially those who are capable and disciplined like Forlan. As a manager who has been in the middle of a mid-sized club for many years, he understands that everything in the team is based on results, and this is a consequentialist society.

However, Franco's recent form has been very disappointing for Pellegrini, which can't help but remind him of some memories that were not so good, so without thinking too much, he chose to take Franco in the firing line, and let Harnett and Tomasson start.

And under such a combination of forwards, the shortcomings are also very obvious, there is no need to elaborate on what kind of player Tomasson is, and Harnet, who is known as the Turkish sharp knife, cannot be said to be a player with very strong individual ability.

In the Turkish league, he can call the wind and rain, but when he comes to La Liga, his physical ability and personal skills are at a medium level, except for the beginning of the goal, it is difficult to play a brilliant performance after being familiar, this situation makes Harnett also criticized by the majority of fans and media. However, Pellegrini didn't care, because he didn't pin his hopes on Harnett, and now it is just a helpless move.

Having said that, although Harnett and Tomasson both have a certain amount of strength, they are almost the same style of attacking players, no matter what the reason, at least for the time being, they do not have the ability to break through with the ball to play opportunities, and can only play their own threat when they are close to the penalty area, so before that, the responsibility of how to create opportunities for them falls on the shoulders of Saintie.

And that's why Pellegrini approached Santi for a detailed conversation before the game.

In this conversation, the Chilean unreservedly informed Santi of the situation he wanted to see, so now receiving a pass from goalkeeper López, Santi was slightly stunned and understood that this was what Peshuai meant.

He knows that although this is Atletico Madrid's home stadium, he can't let the team be led by the nose by the opponent no matter what, and for his own side who are now at a disadvantage, every goalball is an opportunity to regroup, and he must seize this opportunity to play with momentum! Even if you go it alone, you have to boost the morale of the players in a short period of time!

So after getting the ball, Saint-Tiago first took the initiative to retreat and spread his feet with his teammates in the backfield, trying to ease the momentum and rhythm of Atletico Madrid's fanaticism.

The two consecutive dribbles in the attack just now made Atletico Madrid, especially their fans, feel a little emotional, and in the face of such a situation, Santhiago's choice is undoubtedly the best. Although Aguero and Diego Fran, who were cruising in the backfield of Villarreal, also repeatedly grabbed when they saw this, but in the face of a large number of Villarreal players, they behaved like two monkeys being juggled, so after two attempts, the two who were out of breath also stopped and began to actively conserve their strength.

As the saying goes, good steel is used on the edge of a knife, and this is naturally the case in football.

Of course, the Villarreal players here didn't go too far, and a short reversal of the foot was fine, but if they kept playing like this, it would inevitably not cause a warning from the referee or more serious consequences. So after seeing the initial results and easing Atletico's high mood a little, Santhiago took the ball again and passed it to Carney in front of him.

The two are now both Villarreal's midfielders, and they also know their position and stability, and they are often challenged, so under the intention of ordinary training, the tacit understanding between the two is also rising. At this moment, after seeing Santiago's pass, Carney suddenly activated, and rushed unstoppably in front like an attack on giant.

And the ball also reached his feet in the next second, there is a saying on the football field that the defender's breakthrough is the most deadly, and although Carney is responsible for the midfielder in this game, his sudden pass is still particularly sharp, and Garcia, who was unsuspecting and thought he was going to play the ball, became his background board tragically.

Seeing this scene, the long-dull Villarreal fans in the away stands cheered and shouted, this is really a spring for wild lilies, they waited for more than ten minutes and finally ushered in the opportunity to cheer, although such a move seems to a large number of Atletico Madrid fans to be a big fuss, but they don't care.

The sudden acceleration made the Atletico players overwhelm for a while, do you really want to let him pass? Several Atletico Madrid players in the midfield had such a thought in their minds at the same time, but this crazy idea was immediately rejected by them, how could it be!?

Today's Atletico Madrid is a quasi-giant club, and the players in the team are also figures, not only Maxi Rodriguez, Garcia and others, but even Assunção and Ibáñez, who have not played a high rate, have been targeted by major clubs. This can be plug and play, and players who have proven themselves in the high-intensity La Liga are undoubtedly very sought-after, not to mention that their prices are generally not expensive! So how could these players have run Carney like this? Seeing this, Ibañez and Maxi Rodriguez quickly surrounded him, and the defensive circle around Carney shrank in an instant.

But that wasn't what Carney wanted to see, and he took advantage of the fact that the encirclement was still in full swing and gave the ball to San Tiago!

Strike!!!

It was not only the Villarreal fans but also the neutral commentators who did not hesitate to praise them.

At the moment, Santilago is in an excellent position, and he is still relatively easy to get the ball when Carney has attracted a large number of defenders, except for some flaws in the ball line passed by Carney because of the imperfect tacit understanding, which almost achieved the effect he wanted.

At present, there are no other Atletico midfielders in front of Santi except Garcia, who has arrived back in front of the defense, which is undoubtedly a great piece of good news.

Although the rest of the Atletico defenders will be very quick to fill in the position, the gap has been opened, and in the face of Garcia at this time, Saint-Thiago has great confidence to penetrate the Atletico defence and send the ball to the feet of the two hungry strikers.

But what Sainti didn't expect was that the moment he stopped the ball on his chest in the next moment, a huge pushing force came from behind him, so he fell to the ground in a miserable scream.

"Oh!!! Villarreal player Saint-Tiago was violated by Atletico Madrid midfielder Garcia from behind and fell to the ground at the moment of receiving the ball, which was a pity, it should have been a great opportunity for Villarreal! From the pass initiated by goalkeeper López to the current flow of Santilago's possession of the ball, Villarreal's cooperation is undoubtedly evident at this moment! But the experienced Garciati also clearly knows that he will be alone against the multi-player attack of San-Thiago and the Villarreal players behind him.

So before Santhiago caused the greatest danger, Garcia protected Atletico with a decisive foul and maintained Atletico's central defense, which was about to collapse! ”

"But obviously this is an avoidable foul, and the referee has every reason to give Garcia a penalty, but we don't know what kind of enforcement the referee will show in the situation not long after the start of the game!"
