252 Milestones! That wayward soloist works wonders! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]

Until Yang Hao crossed, there were still many fans who were still talking about Rickelme.

But there are also many fans who question him, thinking that he is not worthy of his name and is a product of the past.

In fact, this controversy has always existed.

Including now in 2006.

Riquelme is undoubtedly a genius.

Yang Hao's attitude towards him is also quite complicated.

To put it simply: you use me to recommend, I use I don't buy.

Every time he watched him play, Yang Hao would think about it for a long time, and he didn't know how to describe that feeling.

Whether it's in the game against Villarreal or watching the video, he feels like there's something very contradictory stuck there.

On the one hand, I appreciate the rhythm of his football, that sense of rhythm, and that unique beauty, but on the other hand, I think, what the hell is this special kick?

Such a big gap in front, you don't pass, take it over there?

Is there anything wrong with it, big brother?

In modern football, the offense is a matter of repeated attempts.

Pass when you have the opportunity, grab if you lose it, and find a chance to pass it when you grab it......

But that's not how Riquelme plays.

How do you describe that feeling?

It's as if 11 ballet dancers are performing on the stage, and the other 10 people are all in harmony, except for the lead dancer, who looks out of place and is particularly eye-catching.

All the people, objects, and scenes around him are colored, except for him and the football under his feet, which are black and white.

It was a very pure feeling.

He's going to make you think, heck, that's how football should be.

But soon, you will overturn all your previous ideas, because after being disciplined by society, you will involuntarily tell yourself that this society is not like this, and modern football should not be played like this.

Tonight, sitting in Mahada Hongda's spacious coach's office, Yang Hao, Juan Mar Lillo and others watched the live broadcast on the big screen very quietly, completely ignoring the commentator's voice, just watching the game.

Look at that number 8 and dance over there.

At the moment when Riquelme assisted Jose Mari, the former Atletico Madrid golden boy almost didn't stop the ball, Yang Hao's mind suddenly flashed a term, and he felt that it was very appropriate to describe Riquelme.

Wayward!

No positive meanings, no pejorative, neutral words.

He's too egoistic.

A kind of extreme self-willedness.

Everyone thought it was an opportunity, and he saw it, but he didn't think it was, so he didn't pass it on.

Everyone felt that they should speed up appropriately, but he didn't think it would work, so he didn't pass it on.

He is completely according to his own understanding of football, his own reading of the game, and the deduction and deconstruction in his mind.

But football is a team sport, you need someone to defend, you need someone to attack, you need someone to assist......

It's like a ballet company.

Riquelme, the lead dancer, also needs to have 10 teammates running there.

Yes, you run, keep running.

It doesn't matter what I think, it doesn't matter what I'm going to do, you just keep running.

At a certain moment, he suddenly catches that glimmer of light, and he will pass the ball in a way that makes everyone, whether it be opponents, teammates, or even himself, feel unbelievable.

What's fast, slow, classical, modern......

All this is meaningless.

It was as if he was trying to capture the aura of that moment.

So, a lot of people say it's very uncomfortable to play with Riquelme because you don't know what he's thinking or what he's trying to do.

yes, because he doesn't even know it.

Then, he gives you that kick and maybe makes you really uncomfortable.

Because you can't wait all the time to receive his pass, because you don't know when, where and how he's going to pass......

Therefore, every pass will catch the opponent and his teammates off guard.

This kind of ball is very difficult to catch.

But once you catch it, it's a threat, and you can score!

However, if everyone in the team wants to catch this kick and seize this opportunity, they must keep running around him and running non-stop for 90 minutes.

He is familiar with the technical characteristics, strengths, habits, and abilities of everyone in the team......

Then he deduced in his head, constantly deducing all kinds of possibilities.

It's a natural ability.

But no one wants to be dominated by another like a servant slave.

Especially with this group of talented players in the top flight.

In a short period of time, everyone can endure it, but after a long time, the team is successful, and people don't want to put up with it.

Especially when the lead dancer feels that he is becoming more and more important, even above the entire ballet company.

In Yang Hao's previous life, why did Riquelme fall out with Pellegrini?

Because the cost of accommodating a wayward person is very high.

Riquelme has a lot of special treatment in Villarreal.

Not defending on the pitch?

What is this?

He can miss training sessions at any time, and if he wants to go home, he can just say it, and it doesn't matter if he misses a major game.

With an annual salary of 4 million euros after tax, he is unique in Villarreal.

This salary is very high even if it is placed in the three heroes of the Western Super League.

Note that it is after tax.

He has an exclusive parking space, which is closest to the training ground, and no one is allowed to stop, and if he accidentally stops, he will get angry.

After the game, Villarreal often needs to arrange for a person to follow him, and if he doesn't like to be interviewed, that person is responsible for blocking reporters for him.

He is not good at words, but he is also very bossy, enjoying the feeling of being held in the palm of everyone's hands, and is often unabashedly critical of his team-mates, even manager Manuel Pellegrini.

This makes everyone very uncomfortable.

He felt that Villarreal's success was his credit and that others recognized it, so everyone accommodated him.

In Yang Hao's previous life, the fuse of the contradiction was in the summer of 2006, when Argentine international Sorin transferred to Hamburg.

Riquelme was so unhappy with this that he approached the head coach and chairman Roig to intercede and ask to keep Sorin.

If he can't keep Thorin, he will lose his temper and make trouble.

It's more than a player to put himself above the dressing room and the club.

But everyone still tolerated him, accommodating his resistance to the transfer of Sorin, as well as some wayward behavior, and the state was also a mess.

But everyone is still tolerating, relieved and waiting, believing that he will adjust.

Riquelme's third child was born in Buenos Aires ahead of Villarreal's crucial away game against Barcelona, and the club even allowed him to go back to spend time with his wife and take care of his family.

For this reason, the team suffered a 4-0 defeat away to Barcelona.

After returning from Argentina, he intensified his efforts and told everyone that he didn't want to train and didn't want to play anymore.

Manuel Pellegrini tried to persuade him and give him a chance, but in the end he couldn't bear it.

After a 4-1 defeat at home to Osasuna, Pellegrini exploded completely.

In the dressing room after the game, Pellegrini roared at Riquelme, "You don't play here, my mistake is that I shouldn't have sold only Sorin, but I should have sold you with you!" ”

Since then, Riquelme has been left out of the squad.

No one in the team stood up and said even a word for him, including Diego Forlan, who had the best relationship with him.

Villarreal president Roig still wanted to reconcile the conflict between the manager and the number one star, so he intervened.

The result?

Riquelme directly replied, "You guys go talk to my agent!" ”

Roig was furious and ordered a blockade!

Riquelme returned to Argentina on loan in the winter.

Yang Hao guessed that he should have left with resentment, and he was sure in his heart that the club would definitely regret it.

He was looking forward to seeing what appeared in the cool article, without him, Villarreal's results were in full swing, and the chairman, manager and team-mates all realized his importance and begged him to come back.

But he was disappointed.

Villarreal, who did not have Riquelme, performed better in the second half and had a higher win rate.

So, he panicked and was confused, and he began to seek reconciliation in the media, saying that he had no idea of leaving Villarreal and that he wanted to stay.

But at this time, Villarreal no longer needs and cannot tolerate him.

Carney, Madias Fernández and Pire, among others, filled his void.

Although Riquelme's legend is nostalgic, there is no place for him in the yellow submarine.

And all of this, in the final analysis, is just two words.

Wayward!

His life, like his style on the court, perfectly interprets [willful].

Yang Hao is now not sure whether everything that happened next in his previous life will be repeated, after all, history has completely changed.

Everything is different.

Perhaps, Villarreal decided not to sell Thorin at that time, so that Querme would not fall out with them.

Perhaps, sell Sorin, but bring in other players who will please Riquelme.

Maybe......

Who knows?

……

After playing the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, the 34th round of La Liga was ushered in.

Atletico Madrid take on Alaves away.

In the 23rd minute, Antonio López scored the winning goal.

Yang Hao is now more and more satisfied with the left wing-back, because he has always been relatively low-key at Atletico, but he can often seize opportunities and help the team turn the tide when it matters most.

In the last two or three seasons, he has helped the team to the three points on several occasions.

His own youth training, and he is a local international, and his strength is good, of course Yang Hao is satisfied.

City rivals Real Madrid reversed Malaga 2-1 at home.

Deschamps was originally going to rotate, so many of the main players, including Zidane, were rested.

Malaga is now ranked as vice-squad leader, and the overall strength is not strong.

Unexpectedly, the boat capsized.

It wasn't until the second half that Zidane and others came on as substitutes to reverse the opponent.

2-1, Real Madrid narrowly won at home.

Villarreal is also in rotation and very aggressive and very determined.

Manuel Pellegrini is clearly looking to gamble on the Champions League final and try to make history.

After all, with a score of 1-2 at Camp Nou, there is still a very good chance.

In the end, the Yellow Submarine lost 0-2 at home to Real Sociedad.

This is especially true for Barcelona.

Rijkaard played with a full bench squad to take on Sevilla FC.

Interestingly, Sevilla are also playing for the UEFA Cup, also playing with a half-main and half-substitute line-up.

As a result, the rookies pecked each other, and Sevilla narrowly won 3-2.

Incidentally, Juande Ramos' Sevilla reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup this season, drawing 0-0 away at Bundesliga side Schalke 04 in the first leg.

All the suspense you stay at home.

The other clash in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup is Middlesbrough from the Premier League against Romania's Bucharest Stars, and judging from the results of the match, Middlesbrough has a high chance of reaching the final.

If Sevilla can really win this season's League Cup like Yang Hao did in his previous life, then this season's La Liga will include the Champions League and the League Cup, which will definitely be a milestone!

……

On the evening of April 25, Calderón Stadium in Madrid.

In the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Atletico Madrid hosted Real Madrid.

Yang Hao made some changes in this game, Lucio returned to the starting lineup after being suspended for the first leg with a yellow card, Xavi Alonso also returned from injury, but Iniesta was rested and replaced by Baraja.

As soon as the game started, Real Madrid actively looked for opportunities to attack.

3-0 at home, they will have to be more aggressive on the road.

You can lose the game, but you can't lose the attitude.

So, Real Madrid have been very positive from top to bottom.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid, who led by 3 goals, started a little steadily, trying to control the pace of the game.

Four minutes into the game, Real Madrid were on the left when Ashley Cole sent in a cross that Ruud van Nistelrooy headed in from inside the box but was saved by goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Real Madrid are still trying to attack.

Whether it's Deschamps or the players, there is no choice.

But in the 13th minute, after Atletico broke the ball in their own half, Xavi Alonso deflected a diagonal pass to the left side of the field.

Robben burst on the ball and tried unsuccessfully to get past Siciño and was forced to pass back to Kaka, who was following behind.

After the Brazilian stopped the ball with his right foot, he took a step sideways, and he shook off Beckham, who was back on the defensive, and directly blasted out a world wave with his right foot!

"The ball is in!!"

At that moment, the entire Calderón stadium was completely boiling.

More than 50,000 Atletico fans rushed out of their seats, all cheering and shouting hoarsely.

"Kaka!!"

"Kaka kicked a wonderful world wave!!"

"Great Kaka, hit a great world wave!"

"In the first 13 minutes, in Real Madrid's continuous attack, Atletico Madrid played a quick counterattack, Robben broke through on the left and did it back, Kakaneche, and hit the world wave with his right foot!"

"It's so beautiful!"

'We can look at the goal again, it's very exciting, very confident!'

"Since winning the World Footballer of the Year and Ballon d'Or, Kaka has become more and more confident and more and more like a general."

When Atletico scored a goal to extend the aggregate score to 4-0, the game was over.

Unless Atletico completely open the goal and let Real Madrid attack, otherwise, it is impossible to give Real Madrid the chance to score four goals in a row, which is basically unlikely.

Therefore, after conceding the goal, Real Madrid's morale was greatly damaged.

Didier Deschamps kept calling on the sidelines, and on the pitch, Raul also kept shouting out to his teammates.

But everyone could see that Real Madrid was just barely trying to get their spirits together.

Atletico Madrid also adopted a more prudent tactic and did not press out to fight Real Madrid again.

We're already so far ahead, there's no need to try more goals.

It's really annoying, the smell of gunpowder on both sides is out, and the consequences are not easy to control.

The first half ended up with Kaka's goal to take a 1-0 lead.

After the rematch in the second half, Real Madrid once again played a wave of attacks.

First, Joaquin cut inside with the ball on the left and got up, but Cech flew to save it.

Ashley Cole then sent in a cross from the left, with Ruud van Nistelrooy grabbing the penalty and being held by Cech.

Real Madrid tried to get a bang, even if it was just to get a goal.

But in the end, it didn't work.

Especially in the 67th minute, after Kaka dribbled on the left rib, the ball was sent to the left, and Robben used his speed to force a breakthrough through Salgado and hit a diagonal pass to the middle.

Drogba couldn't grab the landing point in the middle of Cannavaro and Samuel, but Messi at the back point rushed to the ball, kept the ball with his left foot, and pushed the ball into Real Madrid's goal to meet Robben's cross.

2 to 0!

The aggregate score is 5-0!

By this moment, the game is over completely!

Didier Deschamps is back in the dugout, apparently having given up as well.

In fact, everyone knows that Deschamps has done his best.

Since he took over, this Real Madrid team has been improving in the league, although it is difficult to challenge Atletico Madrid, but it has also fought with Barcelona and performed very well.

The knockout rounds of the Champions League reached the semi-finals.

As for losing 5-0 to Atletico in the semi-finals, that's actually normal.

In the past few years, under normal circumstances, Real Madrid has not been able to play Atletico Madrid at all.

What's more, Atletico Madrid's morale and form are so good now.

As for the Copa del Rey, Didier Deschamps' side defeated Zaragoza 6-1 in the semi-finals and Deportivo La Coruna 4-2 in the subsequent final to claim their first trophy after a long absence.

Although it is only the Copa del Rey, this is already a very important award for Real Madrid, which has not won a championship for many years.

At the very least, the embarrassing Champions League sixteen Lang in Yang Hao's previous life didn't appear again, didn't he?

When the game ended, Yang Hao also walked to the away team's coach's seat for the first time, shaking hands and hugging Deschamps.

He spoke highly of Didier Deschamps' performance after taking charge of Real Madrid.

"I'm sure we'll be able to meet again soon." Yang Hao said with a smile.

With the quality of coaching shown by Didier Deschamps, all the teams in Europe's top leagues are in the eyes, and they cannot remain indifferent and will definitely take action.

That's what Deschamps intended.

He also hopes to use the platform of Real Madrid to get more chips for himself and let more people know him!

"Actually, I've already been contacted by several teams."

"Really?" Yang Hao asked curiously, "Is there a La Liga?" ”

At present, the top teams in La Liga have good results.

"A Coruña, they've all been in contact with me."

Yang Hao laughed and secretly shouted: Sure enough.

The likes of Valencia, Sevilla, Osasuna, Celta Vigo and Villarreal are all in a solid position as managers, and they all have quite good results.

Sevilla's Juan de Ramos, for example, is currently in the UEFA Cup.

Villarreal needless to say, in the Champions League semi-finals, their main concern is that the manager is not poached.

Celta Vigo is currently ranked 8th in the rankings as a promoted team, and this list of achievements is good enough.

Osasuna are coached by Mexican coach Sergio Aguirre, who has also been in excellent form this season.

And Deportivo chose to contact Deschamps, probably because the management felt that Caparoros's coaching results were not satisfactory, after all, Super Laco was not very satisfactory in the Copa del Rey final and La Liga.

"It's good, I think, Deportivo is pretty pragmatic too." Yang Hao said with a smile.

Backed by a wealthy man like Amancio Ortega, Deportivo has little to worry about what kind of capital chain problems will arise.

In the current European football world, it is very rare to coach such a team.

……

After knocking out Real Madrid 5-0, Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League final again.

The media and fans around the world were prepared for this, but they were still very surprised.

The main thing is that Atletico have been too strong this season.

From the group stage to now, 12 games, Atletico Madrid have maintained a winning record.

This has never been done before in the history of the Champions League!

Even, whether Atletico Madrid can win Real Madrid is the most concerned thing for the media and fans around the world.

When the results came in, everyone sang their praises to Atletico.

Even the newspaper Ace revealed that Atletico Madrid is now ahead of Real Madrid.

"The Sheets are the strongest team in world football today, there is no one!"

As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Ace believes that Florentino should learn from Atletico Madrid, not only to learn from Atletico Madrid's team formation strategy, but also Yang Hao's football style at Atletico Madrid.

The style of transmission and cutting advocated by Yang Hao has caused an uproar in the entire European football world.

The emphasis on passing, the emphasis on technique, the emphasis on running off the ball, and the team's teamwork have become very eye-catching labels on Atletico, and they have also attracted the attention of all teams in Europe.

Everyone says that Yang Hao is setting off a new wave in European football.

The head coach of the Spanish national team, Aragonés, has publicly stated that he hopes to transplant this style of play of Atletico Madrid to the Spanish national team.

But unfortunately, many situations in the Spanish national team are completely different from those of Atletico Madrid.

This made Aragonés constrained and difficult to perform.

There are also many teams in La Liga who are learning from Atletico Madrid, at least the football philosophy of Atletico.

Even Barcelona's Rijkaard began to try to introduce more wide-ranging crosses in the game.

Cruyff is notoriously conservative, seeing possession as his life, and he is adamantly disapproving of long passes, but he thinks it is very practical for Barca's two wide lateral transfers.

"It can fully mobilize the opposition defence and create more chances for the attacking players."

And even Barcelona has begun to absorb the advanced concepts of Atletico Madrid, and other teams can be imagined.

This is the third time that Atletico Madrid has reached the Champions League final in just five years.

If it wins the championship again, it will win the Champions League three times in five years, plus four consecutive championships in La Liga, which will make Atletico Madrid's momentum go further and make Atletico Madrid's status in Spain and European football a higher level.

……

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Champions League, and the final is back at the Stade de France in Paris, France.

The time is on May 17, but this is not what Yang Hao is most concerned about at the moment.

Atletico still have plenty of time to prepare.

Whether the opponent is Barcelona or Villarreal, for Atletico Madrid, it is quite certain.

The day after playing Real Madrid, after the team's afternoon training session, Yang Hao took Juanmar Lillo and Parales from Madrid to Valencia, and then north to Villarreal, to the Love Song Stadium.

In the past, Yang Hao has always been the head coach of the team, leading the team to the Love Song Stadium for games.

But this time, he sat in the box as a fan.

This was personally arranged by Pellegrini for Yang Hao and the three of them, and Villarreal's chairman Fernando Roig also brought people over to greet Yang Hao before the game and welcome them to the Love Song Stadium.

Yang Hao's impression of this Spanish tycoon is also very good.

The most important thing is that he has an appetite for Yang Hao for Villarreal's business.

Compared to his brother's run of Valencia, he has taken a completely different approach, he is more pragmatic and more cautious.

During the small talk, Fernando Roig also gave some information about their current situation, including the possibility of further reinforcements to the squad in the future, mainly in the midfield and up front.

Villarreal have been doing quite well this season, but the two-front battle has had a big impact on them.

For a team like the Yellow Submarine, it is difficult for them to afford two sets of lineups, so they basically play one lineup to the end, plus a group of substitutes with some strength.

After such rotation, there is a big gap between the strength of the main force and the substitute, and the results will fluctuate.

For example, when they were focused on the Champions League, the league side and the Copa del Rey were in trouble.

Now they are not high in La Liga, and there is no hope for the Champions League.

After all, not everyone can dig a few like Yang Hao, they are all future first-line stars, their strength and potential are extraordinary, and the substitute lineup is also leveraged.

The point is, the team's salary expenses are still very cheap.

When Fernando Roig asked his own question, Yang Hao's advice was, "I think it's best to stick to being younger and continue your current route." ”

"No one can guarantee the results, but as long as the squad is young enough and insists on the cultivation of young players, there will definitely be gains."

The advice given by Yang Hao is not a big deal, it is a great truth that everyone knows.

The key is whether Villarreal can persevere.

It's like now, Villarreal has earned at least 30 or 40 million euros in the Champions League semi-finals this season, which is a windfall for them, what should they do?

Is it a shotgun for a gun, a big bet, and the introduction of powerful famous stars?

Or do you stick to the cautious and pragmatic course of the past?

It's a matter of trade-offs.

There is no one right or wrong.

Yang Hao's suggestion is more inclined to the latter, but being cautious and pragmatic does not mean that there is no action.

It's like Sevilla, they brought in Kompany, they did really well and got a lot of attention from the team.

Now the value has skyrocketed.

As for more specific things, it is inconvenient for Yang Hao to disclose them, and he will not inquire.

"Thank you, Yang, we'll think about it seriously."

After speaking, Roig did not prevent Yang Hao and others from watching the game, and left directly.

……

The game is still the same way it used to be.

Villarreal adopted the two-back style of Horsco and Tacinati to completely liberate Riquelme.

Barcelona insisted on 433 and tried to use the overall strength of the team to suppress the opponent.

Under the coaching of Pellegrini, the Yellow Submarine still has a lot of experience and experience in playing Barcelona, and the defense is also very tight.

Last season, they beat Barcelona 3-0 at the Stade de la Love Song, but this season they lost 2-0.

So in this game, whether it was Villarreal or Barcelona, they didn't dare to be careless and played very carefully.

As a result, the bout was nowhere near as exciting as it was in the first leg.

On the pitch, Villarreal was more passive, but also showed tenacity and was well organised defensively.

The first half was a 0-0 draw, but in the second half, the situation began to become more and more tense.

Especially after 60 minutes, Villarreal started to put more troops into the attacking end.

Jose Mari replaced Josco and strengthened the consensus of the team up front.

After that, Roger Garcia also came on as a substitute.

Manuel Pellegrini's side showed a determination and courage to break through.

Inside the Love Song Stadium, 23,000 fans are shouting wildly and cheering on their team.

From the 70th minute onwards, Barcelona was almost passively beaten, forced to take a defensive position, and was even pressed a little too embarrassed.

The shouts in the stadium were also higher than one wave.

Even after 80 minutes, Villarreal's goalkeeper Reina actively rushed out of the penalty area.

The goalkeeper from Barcelona's youth lineage came close to moving to Liverpool last summer, but Villarreal opted to keep him and performed very well.

His aggressive attack also gave courage to his teammates around him.

The whole team was pressing and playing, and they even began to ignore the goal behind them.

Especially after 85 minutes, Villarreal had already shown a completely desperate determination and fighting spirit.

At this time, Riquelme's slow and methodical dribbling gave people a very strange feeling.

Yang Hao shook his head.

This guy is like that, and sometimes it's really out of place.

But on the contrary, everyone around him trusted him.

Time is ticking by.

Riquelme still doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and has always been so idle.

It wasn't until the 91st minute that he suddenly dribbled past Xavi and, facing Edmilson's defence, sent a through ball to the feet of Jose Mari in the box.

Jose Mari stopped the ball on the right side of the box and was about to hit the ball with his feet.

Van Bronckhorst burst out from the side and knocked him straight into the box.

The referee immediately blew the whistle.

The audience suddenly fell silent.

The Barcelona players were the first to react, all of them chased after the referee, and Villarreal's players also pounced, both sides were pressing, trying to grab the most favorable penalty before the referee reacted.

The fans at the scene shouted hoarsely.

But the referee was aware of it and did not hesitate to award a penalty.

In an instant, the entire love song stadium erupted.

The fans in the stadium cheered wildly.

Riquelme deservedly walked to the penalty spot.

Everyone withdrew from the penalty area and the Argentine stood alone in front of the football, facing directly at Barça's goalkeeper Valdés.

No one knew what was going on in his mind at this moment.

He has suffered humiliation at Barça and he has fought before.

Now, with a heavy exhale, he made a quick run forward and fired a right-footed shot.

The ball flew out with great speed and drilled into the right side of the Barcelona goal.

Valdés judged to the left and pounced!

Beep!

When the whistle blew for the referee's goal, all the fans in the stadium rushed out of their seats in a frenzy.

Inside the stadium, Villarreal's players all rushed towards Riquelme in a fit of rage.

Manuel Pellegrini was equally oblivious to cheering and celebrating on the sidelines.

1 to 0!

Since the first leg was lost 1-2 away at Camp Nou, the aggregate score is now 2-2, but Villarreal will eliminate Barcelona by virtue of the advantage of away goals!

It's Barcelona who is so excited this time.

While Villarreal's players were still celebrating, Barcelona had already begun to urge the referee, signaling him to quickly call Villarreal's players back, and the game was about to start again.

But everyone knows that in this case, it is impossible to turn the tables.

The game resumes.

Manuel Pellegrini made his third substitution, using it to stall for time.

In the end, Barcelona didn't even manage to organize another attack, and the game was over.

The whole love song stadium was thrown into a carnival.

All the fans of the Yellow Submarine were celebrating and cheering wildly.

No one expected that they would advance to the finals!

Dark horse!

A proper dark horse!

Yang Hao was in the box, and he couldn't help but applaud the yellow submarine.

The team, who hail from this small town of just over 40,000 people, made it to the Champions League final.

What could be more legendary than this?

If none of this is a miracle, then what is a miracle?

……

The game is over.

The whole of Spain, the whole of Europe, the whole world, cheered for Villarreal!

Under the impetus of the La Liga League, the story of the yellow submarine spread all over the world at a breakneck speed.

All the media and fans found out that this team from a small city actually created an incredible miracle.

What's more, they don't have even one real superstar.

But they eliminated the star-studded team along the way.

A lot of people say it's a football win!

Villarreal and Atletico Madrid are the same, both insist on youth training, both insist on developing young players, and both insist on a pragmatic business strategy, so they have both succeeded.

When these two teams meet in the Champions League final, it means a victory for football!

The Sheets have been promoting their Academy players in the past few years, selling one star after another, but always selecting materials in the Academy, which makes them have a very strong Atletico color.

In just a few years, Yang Hao has become the hottest top coach in European football with Atletico Madrid's outstanding results, and now, Pellegrini has also emerged.

After seeing the results, Yang Hao did not stay at the Love Song Stadium for long, but sent a congratulatory text message to Pellegrini, and then left.

At this moment, every corner of the entire Love Song Stadium is cheering.

Except for the away dressing room.

It wasn't until the next day that Pellegrini had time to reply to Yang Hao's call.

"Remember our agreement, we entered the finals, and the championship is ours!" Yang Hao said with a smile.

"I don't know, we still have such an agreement."

But Yang Hao is also really happy for Villarreal.

Happy for Riquelme too.

He finally scored that penalty!

This should be a new beginning in his life.

I hope he can take a completely different path from his previous life.

As for the Champions League final......

Hehe!

……

After the Champions League semi-finals, it is the 35th round of La Liga.

Atletico beat Real Mallorca 1-0 at home.

Although Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League, they still beat Cadiz 1-0 at home.

Real Madrid beat Osasuna 1-0 away.

……

A week later, the 38th round of La Liga ended with the final match.

Atletico Madrid played Real Betis 1-1 at home.

Real Madrid lost 4-3 away to Sevilla.

Barcelona lost 3-1 away to Athletic Bilbao.

Villarreal beat Racing Santander 2-0 at home.

In the end, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia finished in the top four of La Liga this season and participated in next season's Champions League.

Next season's UEFA Cup will be played by Osasuna, Sevilla, Celta Vigo and Deportivo La Coruna.

Three teams, Malaga, Alaves and Cadiz, were relegated.

Villarreal ultimately failed to qualify for Europe, and the only way for them to do so was to win the Champions League, as Liverpool did, and then defend their title and get a UEFA franchise to play from the first round of the Champions League qualifiers.

But that would require them to beat Atletico in the final!

I still want Riquelme to stay in Villarreal, to stay in La Liga, I hope to give him a new journey and make La Liga more exciting!
