Chapter 63: Playing Hooligans

For this unexpected goal, Qu Jing also regretted very much.

But he did not agree with Agusli's reaction.

Every move of the manager on the sidelines can affect the mood of the players. No one will inevitably make mistakes, and as the anchor of the team, Agusli really doesn't need to be so excited.

As he walked to the players' tunnel, Qu Jing walked up to the frustrated Bergara, patted him and said, "Hey, Markle, brace yourself and see how we win back in the second half!" ”

Bergara smiled at him reluctantly, but did not speak. Of course, he knows Agusli's temper, and there are no mistakes in ability, but inexplicable mistakes will definitely attract him to be scolded like a storm, and more seriously, if he doesn't do it well, he won't be able to start......

Back in the locker room, everyone was not as noisy as usual, and everyone was silent. The unexpected equaliser made no one happy, and several of them were secretly looking at Bergara to guess what kind of criticism he would receive from the manager for a while.

But the result was somewhat unexpected, and Agusli, who walked in at the end, looked calm and didn't lose his temper!

Agusli didn't make any tactical changes, just said: "We played well, we kept the game under pressure. It's nothing to draw, get back to the starting point, just like in the first half, give them a little bit of color. ”

With that, he left the locker room, leaving the players looking at each other.

"Oh my God, am I blind, am I still deaf? Angulo didn't even get angry?! Martinez said cautiously, as if he was a little unconvinced.

"Is this too late? Or ......"

"Forgot?"

The teammates whispered their expressions, and they all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

This also came as a surprise to Qu Jing, as Agusli was a successful motivator, but he also had a bad temper. The last time Ilya Ramendi made a mistake, Agusli's thunderous jump still made the song still fresh in his memory, and today it was calm...... It's kind of scary.

Bergara sighed, covered her face with her hands and paused for a few seconds, then said with a bitter face: "The more sunny the day, the more heavy rain there will be." I think he'll probably wait until the game is over. ”

Seeing that everyone was not in a high mood, Qu Jing stood up, clapped his hands twice and said: "Guys, forget about Angulo first, let's think about how to play in the second half......"

At the start of the second half, Villarreal behaved as in the first half, with the back four barely pressing the centre circle, except for Bruno and Pina occasionally getting forward, and the rest was Soldado and Bakab tirelessly rushing up front.

This kind of performance of "showing weakness" all the time makes Qu Jing feel a headache.

He even felt that it was the most difficult game to play since coming to Spain, even more difficult than the one against Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona, who are always concerned about the reputation of the club, will definitely not retreat like Villarreal, and even if they do, according to the physical fitness of the Barcelona players, they may not be able to achieve better defensive results.

But Villarreal is different, their defenders are too "tall and hard", like iron plates, although this kind of body has the natural shortcoming of slow turning, but they are obviously also aware of the problem, so they do not overpress, but try to compress the defensive space.

This feeling is like "playing hooligan": I'll use my physical condition to bully you, what's wrong with you.

In this regard, Agusli was also a little unexpected.

Although Toral is known for his defense, he has often raised the banner of attack, especially against teams in the middle and lower reaches, and even against Atletico Madrid, he has ruled out an unconventional attacking formation, and Agusli is a little flattered by the fact that he has almost retreated from the whole line like this game.

Agusli looked at the opponent not far away, Toral looked very calm and unusually calm, so Agustelli couldn't help but wonder if Toral would get the fans' boos if he was so conservative at home.

Had it not been for that avoidable goal in the first half, Torlar would have been unable to hold back the attack, but for now, Villarreal looked like they were content with a draw and looked like they were out of order.

Thinking of the goal conceded, Agusli couldn't help but get impulsive once again.

He really can't tolerate the lack of concentration of the players, it's not a lack of ability, it's not a lack of tactical setup, it's just stupid and unforgivable, and it's an extreme disrespect for the players who work the field!

So instead of playing idly by at half-time and quickly replacing Bergara with Sans, he just wanted to send a signal to the players that stupidity will not be left unattended and that if you make mistakes that should have been avoided, you will pay the price.

The presence of Sans allowed Qu Jing to be more involved in the attack.

He trusts Sanz defensively, as well as his movement.

This is not a trick. There is no shortage of examples in football where the mere laziness to run in the middle of a thought can create a fatal gap or allow the opponent to successfully counter offside.

Canales also looked like he was working harder than ever, but his disparity with the opposing defenders made him look struggling, and his hasty diagonal passes never found Aguirreche made him look frustrated.

There wasn't enough space to 'ride', and Aguirreche was frustrated by the constant futility in the penalty area.

Villarreal created a couple of more chances:

In the 53rd minute, Solgado defended the ball after a scramble with Gonzalez, and stepped on the ball with his left foot into the box when he turned his back, creating a good opportunity for Bakab to shoot hard, and the diligent latter again fired the ball into the stands, winning a warm applause from the home fans.

In the 57th minute, Solgado created another chance for his team-mate, Bruno received his cross knock and frothed from a distance, and the shot that almost became a world wave also drew an exclamation from the stands.

The conspiracy of Qu Jing and his team-mates at half-time worked, and the cautious defence of Soldado and Bakab at the back made it difficult for Villarreal to win free-kicks in front. And Bakab's magical ability to waste opportunities and the disadvantage of attacking numbers also made it difficult for them to create absolute killing opportunities.

Real Sociedad also created chances, with the 'Rebecca' still pleasing in the tight range up front, but Villarreal's defenders were clearly more focused on their second point of contact.

The irreversible physical gap allowed them to roam freely "outside the goal", but it was always difficult to break into the last layer of Villarreal's defense.

The change of tempo did not make any difference in this situation, and the two teams could only let time slip away in the seemingly frequent transition between attack and defence.
