Contract negotiations are not a simple matter, both Van Bizhuang and the club want to maximize the benefits as much as possible, and there are many differences between the two sides, especially in the area of contract length, the previous contract was signed for a period of three years, and after the revisation, Villarreal asked for this period to be extended to five years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Three years is already a long time, after all, no one can guarantee what will happen in three years, maybe a big team has taken a fancy to Fan Bizhuang and wants to take it away, but the contract is in his body, what if Fan Bizhuang can't leave?

Not to mention Van Bizhuang, even the most important figure in the team, head coach Manuel Pellegrini, whose contract expires next year, the Chilean engineer is not sure if he will stay, and as for Van Bizhuang, it is even more uncertain.

Three years feels like a long time, and five years makes people feel impossible to think about.

At least on this point, Molina is not willing to back down. He has great confidence in his employer, and firmly believes that as long as Fan Bizhuang continues to perform so well, he will definitely attract the attention of the big clubs, and he cannot sell the greater interests of his employer in the future because of short-term interests.

Villarreal FC are full of sincerity in order to stay, or appease the future core, they have expressed their willingness to pay the price of the team's maximum salary, but they are not willing to give an inch on the five-year contract.

Molina did not back down at all, and the two sides continued to argue over the issue, and the negotiations seemed to have a tendency to reach an impasse.

Fan Bizhuang completely handed over the matter of revising the contract to Molina, it is not terrible to be in a deadlock, negotiation and negotiation, this is negotiated, anyway, he doesn't really want to leave the team, and there is nothing dissatisfied with the current situation, so everyone will talk slowly.

When there is not much progress in negotiations, time will not stop, and La Liga is still in full swing.

A week later, Villarreal returned to their home stadium to welcome fellow team Levante.

Levante is also a team in the capital city of Valencia, but their situation with Valencia is one in the sky, one is on the ground, Valencia is the most powerful club in this region, occupying the most resources and fan base, and it is also a competitive team in La Liga, while Levante is only a small club in the eastern suburbs, and the biggest task every season is to fight for relegation.

In fact, it's interesting to think about it, there are 20 teams in La Liga, there are many strong teams, there are many teams with heritage, but nearly half of the teams, the survival situation is quite worrying, the strength gap between the relegation teams is not large, and they are also very familiar with each other, it can be said that the competition is extremely fierce, you have the possibility of relegation, I also have the possibility of relegation, in this case, how can you do it without working hard, otherwise, next season's top league, you can't see their figure.

In this regard, Villarreal is undoubtedly lucky. Although their city is very small and the team is not a big club, at least they are not bad in terms of strength, and there is no great possibility of winning the championship, but at least there is no danger of relegation.

Although there was only one draw in the last round of the league, Villarreal's league ranking has not changed, they are still ranked first in the league with six wins, one draw and one loss, with 19 points, and Real Madrid, who is in second place, is still three points away from them.

After at least one or two league games, it's hard for them to lose the top spot in the league – but it doesn't matter if they lose the top spot, Villarreal have no intention of fighting for the league title. Although it is said that a soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, but people are self-aware, and if they want to win the championship on the territory of La Liga, they must first overturn the two mountains of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Does Villarreal have what it takes to upset these two teams? The answer is bordering on despair.

So this season, Manuel Pellegrini's most direct directive to the team is to stay in the top league table, with a small and realistic goal: to try to compete in Europe - whether it's the Champions League or the Europa League. It's better to be the Champions League, it's really not good, it's better to settle for the second, the UEFA Cup is also good, anyway, no matter which stadium, you can go outside and show your face, and by the way, create a lot of income for the club.

Of course, a giant team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, Villarreal admits that it is difficult to compete with it in the long league, but Levante is a weak team with a belly, and the submarine does not plan to let go, if you want to go to the European arena, you have to try your best to score points, and against strong teams, it may be a little unpredictable to score points, and the game with the weak team, there is no room for loss.

In the last round of the league, Zaragoza did not get the expected three points, which is already considered a loss of points, this time against the little brothers in the same district, Villarreal vowed to usher in a hearty victory, get three points at the same time, but also let themselves sit at the top of the standings, a little longer.

Although I don't have the intention of winning the championship, it is very refreshing to be able to press a giant team like Real Madrid and Barcelona under my ass, even if it is temporary.

In this game, Manuel Pellegrini played the best cards he could and played as many as he could, and after a week of rest and adjustment, the players' physical and mental state improved, and the home team took the absolute initiative from the start of the game.

The team is in good form, and Fan Bizhuang has returned to normal performance with a lot of support from his teammates, and his left wing is still the team's sharpest attacking weapon.

Throughout the first half, Fan Bizhuang's left and right rushed to the right, wreaking havoc on Levante's right side like a ploughed ground, messy, and he also frequently made foot passes, creating a lot of pressure on the opponent's penalty area.

Forlan and the starting Rossi were equally positive, with the midfield stats suggesting that the pair had a total of six first-half shots, including a non-stop shot from Rossi on the edge of the box that hit the crossbar and missed out on his first La Liga goal.

In terms of the total number of shots on goal, Villarreal reached a total of 13, eight of which were on target, which shows the magnitude of the advantage.

In contrast, Levante's statistics are a bit miserable, in the entire first half, they were suppressed to raise their heads only had a total of two shots on goal, and none of them hit the goal frame, you can imagine how miserable they were suppressed.

But unfortunately, although there were many chances created in the first half, the home team was never able to score, and on the final kick, both Fran and Rossi were a little uneasy, Van Bizhuang, Cazorla, and even Riquelme and Hosico all stepped in to shoot at goal, but they could not open up the situation for the team.

The second half was almost a replica of the first, the home team's offensive play was like a cloud of peers, and Levante only had defensive skills, but did not fight back.

But no matter how the home team attacked, short passes, penetrations, straight stops, wide crosses, high-altitude bombing, long-range shots, and powerful shots...... Eighteen martial arts skills were used all over again, but they never managed to score.

Their good fortune seems to have been wiped out in the last round of the league, and their luck against Zaragoza can be described as good, but this game against Levante was completely lost, and their luck was terrible.

All the players of the submarine seemed to have forgotten to put on their shooting boots, Rossi hit the crossbar once in the first half, and Forlan and Riquelme hit the crossbar once in the second half, and the goal of the Love Song Stadium seemed to be destined to go against their own masters today, and no matter how much the owner shoots, the goal will not go in.

"It was a game that was speechless, we had the absolute upper hand on the pitch, the passes, the shots, but the goals were far away...... I seem to be able to understand the mentality of the Zaragoza players in the last game, that feeling, really...... It's uncomfortable! Very aggrieved! ”

Alces shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly on the commentary bench, and as Fan Bizhuang, who was cruising to the middle, fired a long-range shot high above the post, the final whistle of the game finally sounded, and the score was fixed at 0:0. After 90 minutes of indiscriminate bombing, but only one point was scored, which made everyone at the scene feel depressed and unwilling, but helpless.

"The last round of the league was our lucky day, but this round of the league, well, we are paying off our debts against Zaragoza, our luck is really ...... Awful! ”

This was Arces's post-match summary, and although he was depressed and even a little unacceptable to the result of only one point, he still stood up to applaud his team, along with the nearly 30,000 home fans in attendance.

In any case, the players did their best, luck was not on their side, and they were helpless. This is a non-war offense.

Villarreal's players didn't have the face to "enjoy" the cheers and greetings of the fans, and after the game, the players left the field in a hurry, and Fan Bizhuang was the same, and he also missed a few good shots in this game, which made him very unhappy.

So when a reporter surrounded him, he pushed away the microphone and camera without saying a word, and left without looking back.

He can even imagine that after two consecutive draws, the pressure on the team and him will increase a lot.
