Chapter 387: Battle at the Top of the List
There are rumors that, knowing that Ibiza coach Fang Jue defended himself, the battered Real Madrid coach Mr. Bernd Schuster once lamented to his close friend that Fang Jue is a good person.
After the two rounds of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey ended, the situation of the next sixteen matches was also announced.
Interestingly, Ibiza drew Real Federation, the Spanish third division team that had just eliminated Real Madrid.
Regarding the result of the draw, the Madrid media "Aspen" criticized that Ibiza has been taken care of by the Spanish Football Association, which is equivalent to recommending Ibiza to the quarterfinals.
Fang Jue directly poohed "Aspen News", he directly questioned, those who said that Ibiza was taken care of were all blind, the Royal Federation is not a weak team, they just eliminated the strong team of Real Madrid!
"Aspen" fell silent.
This is also because he has no brains before speaking, and Fang Jue scolds him when he hits the pole.
...
"A real battle for the top spot!"
Before the game between Ibiza and Villarreal came, Spain's "Radio Serre" used this title to describe the game.
Ibiza is first in the league with 26 points; Villarreal is second in the league with 24 points; behind the two teams are Barcelona with 22 points and Real Madrid with 20 points.
Among them, Barcelona and Real Madrid are 4 points and 6 points behind Ibiza respectively.
In the eleventh round of the league, the two teams in the top battle are not any of Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is something that has never happened in La Liga in the past ten years.
At the press conference before the game, Fang Jue praised his opponents in this game. He praised Villarreal for their good defense.
"Obviously, this is a team that is difficult to score. They are the team that has conceded the fewest goals in La Liga. In this game, it will be very difficult for us to score goals."
For Villarreal head coach Manuel Pellegrini, Fang Jue was full of praise, "He is a role model for me to learn from. This is definitely not a compliment. Before I became the head coach, I was in the Watching him lead Villarreal to the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup in front of the TV, that’s still the case, I never imagined that I would lead the team to play against Villarreal in a few years.”
Fang Jue's words won Pellegrini's favor. He felt that this young junior was very polite and nice.
"No, no, it should be said that I am fascinated by Ibiza. Coach Fang Jue has created a fascinating team. I have carefully studied Ibiza's games. Every time I study, I will admire it." Pellet Greene was obviously a gentleman, and Fang Jue praised him, and he reciprocated.
The people who eat melons are stunned, and it's not that there are no media who want to lead the fight before the game, but these two head coaches didn't pay attention to those things at all, and they actually created such a scene of sympathy, which really disappointed many people .
...
Before the game, Ibiza Sporting Stadium, home team dressing room.
"Villarreal is very stable, but the more this kind of team, once the situation is unfavorable, once it loses, it will collapse in a short time."
"In this game, I only have one request, to win the game!"
"Come on, go and kick Chile's big-nosed ass." Fang Jue shouted, pointing at the locker room door.
Meanwhile, in the visiting team's locker room.
"There is chaos at Real Madrid, at Barcelona, Pep Guardiola's team is still young, this is our best chance!"
"Boys, champions, not impossible."
"But now we have an obstacle in the way."
"Win the game, get rid of Ibiza, tell this young team with your actions, tell that young guy, he was just lucky not to meet us before." Pellegrini is actually not a good player. A passionate mobilization speech coach, but when he said these words today, he was in high spirits, full of enthusiasm, and spoke with enthusiasm.
...
The game has already started, Fang Jue is sitting on the coach's bench, he is studying Villarreal's starting lineup today.
'Yellow Submarine' today's starting goalkeeper is Diego Lopez. This is not beyond Fang Jue's expectations. This excellent goalkeeper produced by Real Madrid Castilla has never had a bright future in Real Madrid. After joining Villarreal half a year ago, he has been the main goalkeeper of Villarreal.
On the defensive line, Fang Jue focused on Villarreal's young Uruguayan defender Godin. This 22-year-old defender is Villarreal's new defensive star. La Liga player of the month.
In addition, in the midfield, Villarreal player Senna is also the object of Fang Jue's attention. This Brazilian Spaniard has good skills. His interception action is not big but the effect is very good, which makes Senna rarely get cards. In addition, when Senna is pressed, he still has organizational skills. He is good at defending and he has a long-range shot. Difficult.
Fang Jue even felt that if Real Madrid had Senna, it would be much more difficult for him to win at the Bernabeu. This man is much more diligent and honest than Las Diarra.
In addition, Cazorla in the frontcourt is also very strong, and the Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi on the front line is also in a very good state recently, so pay attention.
The game between Ibiza and Villarreal is played earlier, with Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid and Barcelona vs Huelva after this one.
...
For this top battle, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also paying attention.
Schuster said he would like to see Ibiza draw with Villarreal.
The Barcelona coach Guardiola refused to predict the result of the game when he was interviewed by the media before. He said that he is not very interested in this game, and Barcelona just needs to be themselves.
At this moment, on the side of Barcelona, which is the latest game in this round, Barcelona coach Guardiola called the whole team to watch the game.
Well, Guardiola is not interested in this game, he just feels interested in the opponent.
After the start of the game, Villarreal played very actively in the away game, which meant that they were mainly against the guest.
"What do you think?" Guardiola asked his coaching staff.
"Pellegrini wants to use offense instead of defense." Tito Vilanova said, "His purpose is very clear. He uses offense to compress Ibiza's space and keep threats away from his own goal."
"However, Ibiza's quick counterattack is very sharp. I don't think it is a good strategy." Another assistant coach, Domenech Torrent, said.
At this moment, the commentator shouted excitedly, "Counterattack, counterattack!"
Everyone looked up.
"Goooooooooooooool! Mata! Mata! Mata! Beautiful, I want to applaud this goal, the whole goal process is very exciting, the counterattack is very fast, Modric sent a through ball, Mata passed Kap in a row De Villa and Gonzalo volleyed successfully, and Villarreal's defense was completely penetrated."
Ask for a monthly pass, thank you.
