Chapter 105: Squandering Opportunities

In the first five minutes of the game, neither team showed any impatience, and several attacks were tentative, most of the time they passed the ball back when they met resistance, and they were patient. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Murcia is the promotion horse of La Liga this season, and after advancing to the top league, they did not buy too many people, no way, Murcia's financial problems have always been a big problem, and they are naturally unable to spend money on checks everywhere.

Now they are still playing in the top flight with the team of La Liga, and in this case, Murcia are naturally the relegation favorites this season. Although the new season has just begun, it seems a little disrespectful to throw the title of "relegation favorite" to the other party, but the fact is that in the past three rounds of the league, Murcia has not scored a point, lost all three games, scored 2 goals, but his own goal has been pierced eight times, conceded eight goals, such a result has no suspense to occupy the bottom of the league standings, is a veritable league "negative squad leader".

Therefore, Murcia's attitude is very low, especially in the face of a La Liga powerhouse like Villarreal, which is based on defense, and their purpose is very clear, that is, to be able to defend and keep it, everything is focused on getting the first points of the new season in the top flight.

And Villarreal also has its own problems, there are several players on the field who have just experienced the national team game, and their physical fitness and competitive condition have not returned to the best level, plus there are many substitute players, and there are some obstacles to the tacit understanding between each other, so their plan is to stabilize their footing first, and then slowly figure it out.

After all, although Murcia is the crane tail light of La Liga, its own lineup is not the strongest, and everything is still based on safety, so as not to capsize in the gutter in the end.

Both sides were cautious in the early stages of the game, and it wasn't until the eleventh minute that the temptation took a slight turn. In the twelfth minute, Fan Bizhuang attracted the attention of the opposing defender after rushing forward with the ball on the side, and suddenly made a cooperation with Riquelme, and passed the football unexpectedly to the feet of the Argentine master who inserted it back. Mali cut in diagonally and hit the ball straight at goal, the football was narrowly beaten by the opposing goalkeeper Carini, and Rossi's follow-up shot was deflected off the post.

It was Villarreal's first shot of the game, and the first on goal for both sides, which shows how boring the first ten minutes were.

However, this time it was a dangerous shot, and he came close to scoring a goal, but it was a shame that Rossi's close-range follow-up shot was deflected.

The Italian striker, who missed a good chance to score, was very annoyed, jumping in the penalty area, Fan Bizhuang went up and touched his head, signaling him not to pay too much attention, there must be a chance to score later.

This is true, after more than ten minutes of trial in the opening game, Villarreal almost figured out the roots of Murcia, and inferred from the opponent's performance that the opponent is mainly stubborn, so gradually lost his scruples, and the team's three lines began to exert more pressure on the opponent's half.

This time the shot did not go in like a blow to the yellow submarine's attacking horn, although the team still had some problems with the team, but under Riquelme's dispatch, the submarine quickly took over the control of the midfield and rushed towards the home team's penalty area.

Three minutes later, the veteran Carney, who had not appeared in the league for a long time, received the return ball from Mali on the right flank, changed direction and rushed to the middle, and shot directly from distance, the ball went slightly over the crossbar.

In the 21st minute, Villarreal once again found a good opportunity to score, Van Bizhuang used his speed to shake off the opposing wing-back Pinhoor, and went down to the bottom line to sweep a low ball into the penalty area, and Rossi arrived just in time to shoot with his legs.

The quality of the pass was extremely high, and the speed was extremely fast to bypass the central defenders, and when Rossi rushed, the defenders behind him basically lost control of him, and as a result, such a good pass, his push hit the goalkeeper directly. Kalini had already disarmed and surrendered, but he didn't expect the joy to fall from the sky, the football didn't go anywhere, and he was straight into his arms, he naturally wouldn't be polite, leaned forward, and pressed the football under him.

"That's really ......"

Pellegrini outside the field had already stood up, raised his fist and was about to celebrate the goal, but he didn't expect Bai to be happy, muttered, and sat back down.

Fan's pass, Italian Rossi rushed forward to push the ball...... Oh my God, this must-score was sent straight into the goalkeeper's arms! ā€

"It's a shame that the quality of this pass is so high, even if I play it again, this ball will be there!"

"This shot is too amateurish!"

The commentators at the scene also clamoured, and Arces also sighed regretfully: "This is the best chance for Villarreal to score so far in this game, but it's a pity that the Italian gave up a great opportunity...... We'll have to wait a little longer and the goal could be a little late. Of course, the Italian will have to wait a little longer, his first goal since joining the team, I don't know when it will come! ā€

"What a pity!"

Fan Bizhuang shook his head helplessly near the baseline, this attack, he has done everything he can do, the defender is thrown away, the pass is fast and accurate, and his teammates can stab the football into the goal almost as long as they gently stretch their feet. But it's ...... Fan Bizhuang shook his head again, he believed that if it was for Fran or Nihart, such a gift would definitely be a stable income.

He still didn't complain about anything, though, and he was impressed by the weeping teenager on that night in Valencia, and Rossi's experience at Manchester United had already taken a toll on his confidence and he didn't want to continue to rub salt in his wounds at the moment.

He trotted forward and pulled Rosie, who was covering his face, up with his hand in his hands.

"Don't worry, Giuseppe, it's just bad luck. You have to work harder and have faith in yourself. ā€

Fan Bizhuang patted Rossi on the shoulder again, and an unnatural expression flashed on the latter's face, the confidence on his face before the start of the game tended to disappear, and it was clear that he had squandered successive opportunities, which reminded him of his previous experience in England, and he became unconfident again.

"I'm sorry, Brother Fan, I ......"

Fan Bizhuang shook his head lightly and said to him: "Needless to say I'm sorry, you are a striker, and your task is to score goals." It's your job, and you have to take responsibility for yourself. ā€

Rosie's cowardly performance made him feel a little unhappy, so he dropped a sentence and turned away.

Rossi hung her head and was speechless.

The game continued, a must-score was not scored, which inevitably had some impact on the team's morale, and in the next few minutes, Villarreal's offensive slowed down a bit, and there were several passing errors on the field, but fortunately, the back line did not change, and the old captain Alvarez played as stable as ever, and the defense he led calmly blocked Murcia's counterattack.

Murcia also took advantage of this opportunity to brush up on the statistics of two shots on goal.

But that's all, Villarial is more than a step higher in strength after all, even if it is not the whole team, it is not a little stronger than them, after a short period of confusion, the submarine regained the initiative of the game with several sharp attacks, and Murcia once again retracted into the half.

The main theme of the game quickly returned to the previous offensive and defensive drills.

During this period, Fan Bizhuang was the most active player on the field, he continued to sprint back and forth on the wing, constantly using speed and extremely fast line changes to break through to torment the right side of the home team, and his teammates also gave him maximum support, frequently giving him the ball, allowing him to give full play to his speed and passing advantages, in the face of the home team's strict defense, the left side of the submarine became the main way of attack.

In the 33rd minute, Fan Bizhuang smashed the ball twice in a row, and deducted Murcia right-back Pinior, and had no choice but to stretch his leg and trip him, and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

The opponent has a yellow card on his back, and he will be timid, and Fan Bizhuang took this opportunity to chase and play hard against Pinnoor, frequently creating killing opportunities on the wing.

In the 35th minute, Van Bizhuang shook off Pinior, and before the opponent's central defender came over, he swept into the penalty area with a wonderful arc. Rossi jumped up the middle and the ball passed over his head without touching it.

A minute later, Van Bizhuang's pass found Jose. Mali, the latter made a gesture to hit the goal, but it was gently pushed the ball to the left. This pass was extremely unexpected, not to mention that the defenders of Murcia did not expect it, and even Rossi did not expect it. When he tried to start shooting again, the opposing centre-back fell to the ground first to clear the ball.

Jose. Mari was so angry that he stomped his feet and glared at Rossi in dissatisfaction. In his opinion, his ball is perfect, as long as he is a striker with good awareness, he must be able to score first. And his partner in this game is good, let alone scoring goals, he didn't even make the action of shooting, he was completely a piece of wood! With such a player, it's strange that he is not full of anger!

Rossi looked embarrassed and smiled apologetically at Mali, but Mali didn't even look at him and turned around and left.

Fan Bizhuang saw this scene, but he didn't say anything. To be honest, he was also a little dissatisfied with Rossi, during training, Rossi showed good running, shooting, and point-grabbing ability, but in the game, it was like a different person, which was a big change.

Fan Bizhuang thinks that this is a manifestation of the other party's lack of self-confidence, the more anxious he is, the more he wants to show himself, the more he wants to show himself, the more he can't seize the opportunity, and in turn, the more anxious he is. It's almost a vicious cycle.

Fan Bizhuang understands and sympathizes with Rossi, but this is not a reason why he can not be angry, who is to blame for your own reasons, you can't let the whole team pay for your lack of confidence, right?

At this moment, Fan Bizhuang is really disappointed in this young striker who always follows his ass and calls himself Brother Fan.

And what disappointed him even more was to come, Rosie's squandering of opportunities continued.

Before the end of the first half, Fan Bizhuang and Riquelme had a cross-switch, the Argentine suddenly passed the ball back from the side to the middle, Fan Bizhuang received the ball and rushed directly into the penalty area, and when facing the defender and goalkeeper to attack, he knocked the ball to the middle quite unselfishly, and in the face of the empty goal, Rossi's push shot went directly to the post.

The empty door did not enter, Fan Bizhuang's anger came out all of a sudden, and he was almost unable to suppress it!
