For the boos of the Mestalla, Riquelme countered in the most perfect way! He proved it with a beautiful free-kick into the Valencia goal! Boos don't knock you out! It can only arouse his infinite fighting spirit!!

After the goal, Riquelme ran wildly, until he ran under the stands of his own fans, he stopped, and waved his fist at the stands: I did not disappoint you! I scored!!

“wwoooooooooooooooo！！！！” The visiting fans who came to cheer from Valencia's satellite city of Castellón even tended to overwrite the home team's boos at that moment.

******

"Beep!"

David. Silva kicked the ball to nearby Ferrer in the centre circle and then ran forward himself, and Ferrer caught the ball and caught it in time for Diego. Forlan stabbed the ball to Baraja behind him, who received the ball and passed it directly to Albelda on the left......

After Villarreal equalised, the two sides returned to a relatively balanced situation, and the result was that no one knocked on anyone's door before the end of the first half!

The time was exactly 45 minutes, and the referee did not have a minute of stoppage time, and blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

Villarreal's Senna then kicked the ball to the referee and the players from both sides walked into their dressing rooms through the tunnel to wait for the manager's deployment for the second half.

As usual, the referee arrived late when the players arrived, and after following Ranieri to the dressing room, Benetti expertly closed the door of the dressing room, temporarily isolating the noisy world outside from the dressing room.

Ranieri first gave Aillo a high thumbs up and said a few encouraging words beside him, and then comforted the goalkeeper Canizares, who was not very interested because of the loss, "Santiago, that missed goal has nothing to do with you, I believe that even the best goalkeeper on the planet can't save it, the angle is too awkward!" ”

"I understand, sir." Canizares is not used to being comforted, but he is now a veteran goalkeeper in his thirties.

Canizares understood what Ranieri meant, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then waved his assistant Benetti and the players to come over, because it was time to explain the tactical play of the second half.

Away team locker room

The first thing Chilean Manuel Pellegrini did when he entered the dressing room was to praise the scorer Riquelme, "Roman! That goal you just scored was fantastic! Absolute dead ends!! Even the best goalkeeper in the world can't save football! Only you, a different you, a genius can kick out! Keep playing like this in the second half, come on!! You can!!"

Riquelme accepted the coach's praise without blushing and heartbeat, in his thoughts, since the coach praised himself so shamelessly, did he need to blush and be embarrassed?

Subsequently, Pellegrini also encouraged the other players who were indomitable in the first half. Then, under the hint and reminder of the assistant, the praise ended, and then entered the tactical arrangement of the second half.

Pellegrini's tactical idea is to make the attack three-dimensional, the midfield does not stick to the ball, and the midfield relies on Riquelme's personal ability to thread the needle, so as to achieve the offensive substance.

"Are you confident of winning Valencia in this game?" After Pellegrini finished speaking, he clapped his hands vigorously and said to the players.

"Confident !!" The players were already motivated to fight and immediately applauded with the head coach.

******

The second half had not yet begun, and both players were waiting for the referee's whistle.

"Beep !!"

"With the referee's whistle, the second half of the 26th round of the 04-05 La Liga season between Valencia and Villarreal officially began"

The visiting team Riquelme is famous, so Baraja follows him at all times, not letting him receive the ball lightly or letting him pass comfortably, and there is a Marchena not far away.

Diego. Forlan was no better, as the Argentinian Ayala was always by his side, consciously or unintentionally pushing his knee to his thigh or pulling on his jersey when receiving the ball, which made him feel like he couldn't use his strength.

Standing on the sidelines, Pellegrini looked at the tables of the players on the field and thought to himself: "Should we be the first to make adjustments?" Then he turned to look at the bench until he reached the body of a small man: "Santiago went to warm up and will be back in five minutes." ”

Cazorla, who was named, was instinctively stunned, and the teammate next to him looked like he hated iron but not steel, and he only reacted with his elbow, "Okay, Mr. Coach!" He immediately dragged on his thick padded jacket and ran to the warm-up area.

When Ranieri looked at the field, the corner of his eye was aimed at the movement of the coach's bench next door, and it seemed that he was going to take the lead in making adjustments, so he also looked at the bench, but he quickly shook his head, it can be said that there is no one to change the two wingers on the field. Silva and Iello are in good shape, the center Ferrell fulcrum has an obvious role, the three midfielders must not be replaced, and now the strongest defensive ability in the midfield of the team is Marchena and captain Baraja, and the more balanced is Albelda, but obviously these three cannot be changed, let alone the back line, unless injured!

I'll go!

Damn injuries!!

In the fifty-fifth minute, with David. After Silva's shot from outside the box flew off the line, the referee pointed to the centre circle and the fourth assistant referee had already raised the substitution sign.

Villarreal was the first to make adjustments.

No. 19 Cazorla replaces No. 16 defensive midfielder Contrey

Home team coach's box

Benetti frowned, walked over to Ranieri who was standing on the sideline, and opened the information in his hand to show Ranieri.

Well?

Santiago. Cazorla, who can play as a winger or wing-back, has a flexible build, excellent speed and excellent passing skills.

Ranieri's brows immediately tightened, it seems that Chilean Pellegrini is unwilling to take away only one point away from home, this substitution is very obvious, strengthen the side attack, make Villarreal's attack more three-dimensional, get rid of the situation of relying only on Riquelme's personal ability, and look at the bench again, hey! Again he shook his head in disappointment.

No one can be replaced!!

Taking advantage of a dead goal, Ranieri took the opportunity to call captain Baraja to give a brief face-to-face lecture and ask the team to pay attention to the newly replaced little man on the wing.

But the effect is not yet very obvious.

In the 59th minute, Villarreal had a great chance.

After Senna broke the ball at Albelda's feet in the middle, there was no sticky ball and the first pass was made to Riquelme not far in front of him.

After Riquelme received the ball, he saw that Baraja stepped forward to defend and prepared to break the ball as soon as possible, and his body was horizontal, cutting between Baraja and the football, preventing his 'conspiracy' to break the ball, and at the same time seeing his teammate Senna, who stepped forward, was not ambiguous and passed it directly. After receiving the ball, Senna observed the shape on the field, saw that there was a teammate on the right side asking for the ball, and looked at Riquelme, who was being watched closely, so he did not hesitate to pass a medium and long-distance pass of more than 20 meters, and the football flew to the right side, and then was obtained by Cazorla, who had just come on the field.

With the eyes of the midfielders at the back of Riquelme drawn to it, there is currently only one defender on the wing, Aurelio, and Cazorla intends to take the ball over to take on Aurelio and use his dexterous body and passing skills to easily shake off the opponent.

Facing the newly replaced small player, Aurelio looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, and his whole facial expression was to look down on Cazorla, but the next second he was stunned.

That's right! I was stunned!!

He was given a simple fake fax by Cazorla!

Cazor's past Aurelio was in front of Navarro, who had come to make up for the defense, and was about to repeat his old trick when he spotted a white figure cutting forward at high speed and did not hesitate to pass the ball to a vacuum with the outside of his right instep.

ooooooooooooooooo――

Valencia fans in the stands stood up and let out an exclamation. Because from their point of view, it was best seen that Villarreal's number nine was heading in that direction.

It's time for Canizares to strike too!

Sure enough, a second later Diego. Fran picked up the ball and adjusted it a bit, shooting it with the arch of his foot before Canizares could strike.

Shhhh!!h

There were deafening boos from the stands.

Perhaps the reason why the noise decibels of the scene were too high led to zhì Diego. Fran's footwork was not well controlled, and the ball went around Canizares' hands as well as the goal.

The soccer ball rolled almost against the right post and rolled off the baseline

Valencia escaped.

******

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you will be blessed!

Sure enough, in the 66th minute of the game, Marchena predicted in advance at the edge of the penalty area and grabbed Diego. Forlan broke the ball before receiving it, and then passed it to Baraja next to him without hesitation, and Baraja passed the ball directly to Albelda.

After Albelda received the ball, a simple fake fax dunk deducted Riquelme who stepped forward to grab the ball, if Riquelme's passing skills are international level, then his defensive level can only be the last third-rate, so it is normal to be easily deducted by Albelda.

Albelda did not continue to dribble the ball after passing Riquelme, and saw a figure beckoning for the ball on the left side of the center circle, so he passed the ball directly with the arch of his foot, but the power was slightly greater.

Although the pass was a bit big, Iello took advantage of the power of the pass to make a repetition and easily pass the reckless right-back.

Time waits for no one, hurriedly pushed the ball forward about five meters, and rushed out like a rocket before Senna fouled, although he stumbled a little under his feet, but slowly adjusted in the process of running, and then accelerated forward!

Hasten! Accelerate again!!

Villarreal's centre-back thought that Airo was going to continue to break through, so he immediately wanted to run over and end the opponent's attack with a foul, but he ignored the position he lost by stepping forward so recklessly.

Seeing him step forward to defend, the corners of his mouth curled, and his feet were not ambiguous, and he directly passed a long pass thirty meters away.

After passing the ball, he did not stop, but continued to cut diagonally into the penalty area.

wooooooooooooooooooooo――

After Iroh finished passing, the cheers in the stands rang out again, deafening.

Because they could see the route of the football most clearly, there was only one Valencia player wearing the orange and yellow jersey of No. 29, which made their blood boil! Because there is not a single defender within a radius of ten meters!

He's totally-single-handedly!
