Chapter 215: Side by side with the legend
Villarreal, Love Song Stadium.
Rewind the clock to two minutes ago.
Mr. Ruben sat in the coach's seat, his pocket suddenly vibrate, Mr. Ruben frowned, hesitated, but still took out the mobile phone in his pocket.
The phone is still vibrating, and the caller's identity is displayed on the screen - "Kevin".
Kevin was the club staff member he asked to wait outside the stadium when he suddenly called...... Mr. Reuben's heart moved inexplicably, and he had a faint bad premonition.
How could Kevin call at this time?
If he completed the task and received the Pablo father and daughter, then he should have taken the father and daughter to the stands at this moment, this is the time when the game is in progress, as a staff member of the club, Kevin understands the team's rules and should not disturb the team at this time.
But if you hadn't completed the task, you should have called a long time ago?
After only a moment's thought, Mr. Ruben realized that something important might have happened, and he walked to the back of the dugout and pressed the answer button.
"Something's wrong, Mr. Reuben."
Kevin's panicked and overwhelmed voice came from the other end of the phone, but Mr. Ruben could no longer hear what the other party was saying, his expression suddenly froze, and he didn't know when the phone fell to the ground.
"Reuben, what's going on?"
Seeing his assistant coming over with a look of disappointment, Pellegrini frowned and was about to ask something more, but Mr. Ruben was weak under his feet, and Pellegrini quickly reached out to hold him.
"Sir......" Mr. Ruben raised his head, his face was frightened, and even his tone seemed extremely dry, "out of ...... Something went wrong. Pablo, and little Luna, he ...... They...... He was admitted to the hospital. ”
Pellegrini's face also changed drastically, he understood very well the important position of the father and daughter in Fan Bizhuang's heart, but at this time, such bad news suddenly came, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if this news was learned by Fan Bizhuang. But one thing is certain, that is, Fan Bizhuang will have no intention of continuing this game!
"I see."
Pellegrini's eyes flickered and finally he made up his mind, "Don't tell him, at least not until the game is over." ”
"But sir......
"Nothing!"
There was unquestionable firmness in Pellegrini's tone, and he patted Mr. Ruben on the shoulder, "Calm down, Ruben. At this time, we must be calm. Now, you leave the scene quickly, go to the hospital, and go see the situation over there. Stay in touch with me at all times. Do you understand? ”
Pellegrini's decision, on the one hand, is worried about the situation of Pablo's father and daughter, on the other hand, is to separate Mr. Ruben, he is worried that his assistant, if he continues to stay here, will show his feet, if Fan Bizhuang sees the clue at halftime, then this game, is over!
This is a bit unkind, but as the head coach of the team, he must be responsible for the club, for the team, for all the players and the fans who support Villarreal, and he can only choose to hide the news for the time being.
"First...... Mr. ......"
Mr. Ruben looked up in astonishment, but when he saw Pellegrini's almost pleading look, he finally nodded with difficulty, turned and walked away quickly.
"I'm sorry, Fan!"
Pellegrini turned around and faced the pitch, looking at the familiar figure on the pitch, his eyes flickering inexplicably.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! ”
"The ball is in! The ball is in! In the 47th minute, at the last moment when the first half was about to end, the goal was finally born! Assist from Cazorla, Van ! Fan!! Fan opened the scoring with a powerful header! ”
'Villarreal took the lead, but I would say that it wasn't the most important thing, the most exhilarating and exciting thing was that it was Van scoring his 14th goal in the Champions League this season! Yes, that's right, Van equalled Altafini's decades-old single-season scoring record! At this moment, Fan stood in a place comparable to the legend! ”
"A new legend is about to be born! A legend that countless people can only look up to was born! Please call his name along with me, he is—"
The narrators are shouting frantically, roaring hoarsely, and the love song stadium is also like a completely erupting volcano at this moment, and the thick magma seems to incinerate the heavens and the earth, banners, slogans, portraits, flags...... The yellow sea was tumbling wildly, and everyone was bouncing up from their seats, shouting the same voice.
"He's—"
"—Fan!"
The record has been equaled, the legend is born at this moment, and Fan Bizhuang has become the focus of the world's attention!
In the cheers and applause, Fan Bizhuang first knelt down and pointed to the sky, and then turned around and pulled Cazorla up, without words of thanks, just nodded heavily to his partner, everything was silent.
The teammates were already rushing over with their arms raised and shouting, and everyone had ecstatic looks on their faces. Fan Bizhuang pushed away the crowd and ran to the stands, first raising his arms and yelling, then taking off his jersey, revealing the white T-shirt inside.
"This is a record that belongs to Fan!"
"This is a myth that belongs to Fan!"
“14!”
Fan Bizhuang also took off his white T-shirt, put on his upper body, raised the T-shirt with both hands, and showed it to the stands.
He didn't know where little Luna was sitting, but he knew that the little girl must be looking at him, so he held the T-shirt up in the air, and he was telling little Luna in this way, thank you for your T-shirt, it gives me the strength to move forward, it makes history with me, witnesses history!
The cheers in the stands were even more surging and crazy, countless fans shouted while making the same movements as Fan Bizhuang, countless white T-shirts were held high, and the love song stadium turned into a white forest!
"Damn it! Bastard! ”
In the away team's coach's seat, Ferguson kicked his foot again with an angry face, but found that the mineral water bottle in front of him had long since flown to where it had gone. In the end, he could only retract his feet helplessly, and he was unhappy.
He was extremely dissatisfied with the players not following his "instructions", but in fact, he also knew that at such a tense moment, the players were highly nervous and did not have much thinking ability, and could only judge and choose according to the actual situation. There's nothing wrong with their approach, and if they don't stop Cazorla, chances are they won't choose to pass the ball and will shoot straight at goal – which is also a huge threat to the goal.
But......
Ferguson just couldn't swallow this breath, Fan Bizhuang's goal had proved that his instructions were not wrong, but Rao was so, the opponent still scored, which was simply a slap in the face.
Ferguson, who has always been competitive, is naturally not very happy in his heart.
"What a lucky guy!"
In the end, Ferguson still clapped his hands, and although Van Bizhuang's legendary record was achieved by his team, which made his team very faceless, Ferguson still showed his famous managerial measure at this moment and applauded this new legend.
Of course, the burial he said was not aimed at Fan Bizhuang, but ...... He looked at Pellegrini, who was on the other side, and pouted disdainfully.
In his opinion, Pellegrini is a lucky guy, and if Van Bizhuang is not under him, but under himself, then ...... Hmph, Ferguson snorted very unpleasantly, but he was calculating in his heart, thinking about how to dig Fan Bizhuang to Manchester.
Villarreal's bench was jubilant, and the substitutes all jumped up with their arms raised and screamed the moment the ball fell into the United goal, and everyone had excitement and excitement on their faces.
The same goes for the dugout, where the assistant coaches give each other high-fives and hug each other.
At the moment of leading, at the moment when the legendary record is tied, such joy is enough to move everyone.
But there was no smile on Pellegrini's face, and even his eyes were extremely heavy, he looked at Fan Bizhuang, who was holding a white T-shirt on the field, obviously interacting with Little Luna, without saying a word, biting his lip, and finally sighed softly.
"If Fan knew, little Luna they weren't in the stands at the moment, but in ...... He's going to go crazy, right? ”
A smile appeared on Pellegrini's face as he saw that Van Bizhuang had finished the interaction, and looking this way, Pellegrini forced himself to smile in what he thought was as indifferent as usual.
It's just that this smile, only he knows, is so bitter.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The whistle blew at the end of the first half, and the score was temporarily fixed at 1:0, with Villarreal leading by one goal.
Players from both sides began to leave the field, and the home team players walked towards the players' tunnel with a smile and a smile.
"Santiago, that ball is a good pass! Actually, you have the opportunity to choose your own shot, so ......"
Van Bizhuang and Cazorla walked forward side by side, still talking about the goal they had just scored. He didn't say anything like thanks, just nodded to the latter, "You're okay with your feet, are you?" ”
"That guy's actions are really vicious, but that's fine, even if you don't give it and the shot doesn't go in, he's a foul, and the referee might give a penalty." Cazorla smiled nonchalantly, "Of course it's okay, although it hurts a little, it's just a bruise, and it doesn't affect anything." ”
"That's good."
Van Bizhuang and Cazorla hugged each other and the two walked into the dressing room, where Manuel Pellegrini was already waiting.
Fan Bizhuang wandered his gaze and wandered around the room.
"What are you looking for, Fan?"
Pellegrini's heart tightened, but the expression on his face did not change, and he called out to Fan Bizhuang.
