Chapter 22: I Hate You More!

The next day.

Spain's major sports newspapers.

"3:1, Real Madrid won four, drew one and lost one, and reached the top of the group with 13 points to enter the Champions League round of 16!"

"Raul, King of Europe. Gonzalez has another win! ”

"A brace! Cristiano. Ronaldo became the key figure in the victory of the Bernabeu! ”

"Real Madrid bid farewell to the group stage with a perfect victory, and for this brand new Galaxy team, this season's Champions League journey has only really begun!"

"Real Madrid has announced to the world with the strongest gesture that they will make a big difference in the Champions League this season! It's time to take off the hat of the Champions League Sixteen! ”

The media and fans alike were full of praise for the victory, especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul, whose goals helped Real Madrid to win the knockout round as group winners.

Although in the final stage of the game, Fan Bizhuang, who came off the bench and had a good performance, gave an assist, did not cause too many ripples, he was silent for too long, people did not say that he was forgotten, at least there were doubts about his performance - it was just a game, and it was too early to say that the state is back and the king is back, and it is too early to defend the title.

Only a few tabloids mentioned a few sentences in one stroke.

"Real Madrid's No.23 new signing has delivered his first assist of the new season!"

"C. Ronaldo scored the winning goal, and it was Fan who provided the assist!"

"Fan's first stat after joining Real Madrid, does this mean that Fan is about to have a new life?"

……

Barcelona, Catalonia.

"The first stat of the new season?"

Messi gently put down the newspaper in his hand, with an indescribably complicated look in his eyes, and a faint trace of expectation and ...... Excited.

This season, Fan Bizhuang's "sinking" made him feel a sense of loss, although from the bottom of his heart, he disliked Fan Bizhuang, Barcelona's "betrayer", but on the other hand, he also had a sense of pity, and even regarded Fan Bizhuang as his biggest and must defeat the "enemy".

But with the silence of the other party, Messi became more and more disappointed, even if his performance in the new season, as well as various statistics, still maintained a high level, but without the huge pressure brought to him by Fan Bizhuang, he always felt like something was missing.

Now, Fan Bizhuang has dedicated the first data of the new season, even if many people in the outside world are still skeptical about Fan Bizhuang's "return", but Messi can't help but give birth to a fire of hope.

"It's a good start, at least, at least...... His form seems to be starting to improve. ”

Messi thought like this, and said secretly in his heart. "Get better as soon as possible, come back as soon as possible, without your days, this world will inevitably be a little lonely."

……

Manchester, United Kingdom.

Ferguson, who has always been paying attention to Iberian football, to be precise, is paying attention to Van Bizhuang, but there is a look of joy or worry on his face.

In fact, Ferguson's mental activity at this time was indeed complicated.

On the one hand, he saw signs of a recovery in form from Fan Bizhuang's performance after coming off the bench this time, which made him feel very relieved and happy for the other party.

The concern is that Van Bizhuang's form has recovered, so what else does he have to do with Manchester United? A sluggish Fan Bizhuang, even if there is more aura in the past, a super giant like Real Madrid will not have too much patience for him, he can apply for a transfer to Real Madrid in the winter, or even in the summer at the end of the season, presumably the Bernabeu does not want to keep such a player with a high value and a high salary, but it does not help the team at all.

But if Fan Bizhuang really recovers and becomes the omnipotent "super fan" again, will Real Madrid still have the "idea" of selling him? Even if they are willing to sell, it is estimated that the transfer fee will not be a small number.

"It's really love-hate-hate!"

Ferguson smiled wryly and shook his head, but he still made up his mind to continue to let the club's scouts follow him in Spain.

……

Despite a good performance in the final round of the Champions League group stage, it was not enough for Fan Bizhuang to regain his main position.

Since the start of the new season, Real Madrid's performance in the first five rounds has been quite up and down, which is due to the lack of tacit understanding of the team as a whole, and in the game, it is more dependent on the individual ability of the stars.

And with the advancement of time, under the kneading of Pellegrini, Real Madrid has gradually become a group that can advance and retreat together, coupled with the outstanding individual ability of the players, this new galaxy battleship, quite a bit of a stronger and stronger meaning, now after 13 rounds, Real Madrid with nine wins, two draws and two losses with 29 points, temporarily ranked second in the standings, only two points away from the top of the Barcelona table.

This result is already very good for Real Madrid, which has just been kneaded into a shape, and achieving such a good result is inseparable from Real Madrid's overall maturity and stability.

Van der Vaart, who replaced Kaka and Van Bizhuang as the main defender of Real Madrid's left midfield, also played extremely well, and it was his outstanding performance that became one of the reasons for Real Madrid's outstanding results.

It can be said that Real Madrid's current starting lineup is already very mature, and if there are no big surprises, such as injuries, this lineup will not make too many changes.

In such a situation, Fan Bizhuang wants to fight for a starting position, the difficulty can be imagined, even if his performance in the first two seasons can be phenomenal, but just with the excellent performance of a game as a substitute, it is simply unrealistic to squeeze Van der Vaart on the bench.

There's no way the team can upset the balance for him, and his performance isn't enough for the club to upset that balance for him.

Fan Bizhuang knows that very well, so in order to get more minutes and get back into the starting line-up, he has to do more and do better.

……

In the 14th round of the league, Real Madrid visited the Mestalla Stadium to face the Bat Army Valencia.

In the past week, because it was two games in the league and the Champions League, many players were physically and mentally exhausted due to the continuous campaign. Real Madrid's players were also mediocre on the pitch, while home side Valencia took advantage of Real Madrid's poor spirit to take a 2-0 lead in the first half.

Although it was just over halftime, this score, as well as the sluggish performance of the Real Madrid players on the field, made many people have lost hope for the outcome of this game.

But it is precisely because of this that Fan Bizhuang has gotten more playing time.

Manuel Pellegrini made a substitution in the second half, and Van Bizhuang, who came off the bench in the last round of the league and had a good performance, was also among them, plus Van Bizhuang's fitness was fine, so Pellegrini was happy to let him go up and rush.

In the 53rd minute, Van Bizhuang ran onto the pitch in place of Van der Vaart.

When he first came out, there were boos at the Mestalla stadium.

The feud between Villarreal and Valencia has a long history, and as the town's former king, Van Bizhuang is arguably one of the most unpopular people in the stadium, so as soon as he appeared on the pitch, there were not only boos and yelling, but also fans throwing debris into the stadium.

There were even fans holding up portraits of Fan Bizhuang - not waving the flag for him, the fans made all kinds of spoofs on the portraits, and added all kinds of slogans - "Please remember, you are just a waste now!" "Waste, please keep up your idiot show!" "As much as I hate Villarreal, I hate you even more!" ,

Even the home commentators couldn't help but ridicule: "After 'defecting' to Real Madrid, the king of the small town has been completely reduced to a complete 'waste' - please forgive me for using such an unsightly term, but it is true, in the new season of the league, this waste did not score a goal, an assist, and even his breakthrough was pitiful...... Ha, I heard that in the last Champions League game, he came off the bench and provided an assist...... But so what? The blind cat bumped into a dead mouse! Some say that this is a sign of his return, but ...... Who believes? It's not funny at all! At least, here, at the Mestalla Stadium, today, he can't score a single goal, and he and his new master can only go out with a painful defeat! ”

The ridicule was almost undisguised, which made the commentators from other TV stations frown when they heard this, and such a statement was obviously a loss of neutrality and objectivity.

But the home commentator doesn't care at all, he's a Valencia commentator, he doesn't care what other people think, he just needs to please the fans.

Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter in the stands at the Mestalla Stadium, and the home fans applauded their commentators' words.

Just two minutes later, the boos and shouts, the taunts and the cheers all disappeared, and the Mestalla stadium fell into a dead silence.

After Fan Bizhuang just appeared, he tried to break through twice, one successful and one failed, and the success rate was neither high nor bad.

But when he touched the ball for the third time, the Mestalla stadium suddenly fell silent.

After a series of passes, the ball was sent to the front by Alonso's diagonal stab against the ground, Fan Bizhuang ran in reverse, inserted from the left to the middle, and was close to 30 meters away from the goal, without stopping the ball, running directly sideways, a shot like a cannonball, whistling straight towards the goal.

No one could have imagined that a player who had been hacked by the media and fans for three months would make such a difficult move at the lowest point, but Fan Bizhuang not only did it, but also did it extremely well.

The football was like a sharp arrow, cutting through the sky, and in the stunned eyes of everyone in the audience, it rushed past the stunned goalkeeper and broke through the net!

2:1!

Fan Bizhuang touched the ball for the third time in the game, and with the first shot on goal, he scored!
