Chapter 1393 The last classical front waist (1)
Villarreal has made it to the semifinals in the Champions League for the first time since the team was founded, and eliminated many strong teams including Manchester United and Juventus on the way to the promotion. This season, Villarreal has really given people a big surprise, and the artistic tactical play and smooth offensive cooperation of the yellow submarine have also brought great popularity to this small ball. Many people think that Villarreal is very promising to replicate the track of two dark horses, Chelsea and Monaco, in the 34 th season to become another nongiant club that successfully reached the Champions League final.
Villarreal has been able to go all the way to the point where few people are optimistic about the situation. The biggest contributor is that their core is praised as the last classical front waist. Argentine star Juan Román Riquelme, who spent a nightmare season in Barcelona, was scolded by Barcelona fans for parallel imports, and was even asserted by many experts and celebrities that it is destined to establish himself in the front waist of Argentina in European football. After coming to el madrigal (Villarreal’s home), he broke out with amazing energy!
In the first season after joining Villarreal, Riquelme led the yellow submarine to get rid of the annual relegation, and the shadow of the war led a group of abandoned giants (Sey Mali, Sonny Anderson, etc.) to get the first place in La Liga and also achieved strong results in the UEFA Cup. In the season, he led the yellow submarine to triumph all the way and squeezed out the strong rivals such as La Coruna and Valencia and won the third place in La Liga this season.
The second hero of Villarreal’s rise was that he joined Chile’s coach pellegrini, who was nicknamed the engineer in the summer of 4 years. After learning that the club had signed Riquelme from Barcelona, he knew that Riquelme was capable of pellegrini, and immediately decided that the Argentines would form a team around Riquelme.
So in pellegrini, players like juan sorin and Diego Forlan, who were unhappy in the giants due to injuries or different water and soil conditions, joined Villarreal and United around Riquelme, the midfielder, to form a United and energetic team!
In this way, Riquelme and pellegrini made joint efforts to make the Yellow Submarine a better team in La Liga in 45 seasons, and squeezed out the two great rivals, Super Laco and Valencia, and successfully won the third place in La Liga this seasonthis is also the highest ranking Villarreal won when he built a team to participate in La Liga. At the same time, Riquelme led Villarreal to beat Barcelona 30 at home this season to take perfect revenge on his old club who brought him to European football but refused to take the trouble to form a team around him!
In the season, although Villarreal slipped in the league due to distraction, he remained in the European war zone. At the end of the season, it was not a problem to get a seat in the UEFA Cup. In the Champions League, Villarreal was the biggest dark horse in the Champions League, even defeating Juventus, Glasgow Rangers, Fica and Manchester United.
Because Juventus was eliminated by the yellow submarine in the quarterfinal because there were few away goals, most people expressed considerable caution about the match between Florence and Villarreal. After all, Villarreal proved their ability in the first quarterfinal and swollen the faces of those who were optimistic about Juventus’ promotion.
Although the outside world is extremely cautious about the result of the duel between the two teams, Mourinho doesn’t think so. After analyzing the video of Villarreal’s game this season, the Portuguese found that this team can be said to be a oneman team in Riquelme!
In other words, it is necessary to keep an eye on Riquelme and let him string the whole team together as usual, then Florence has locked in the qualification for the final!
However, Mourinho also knows that it is not easy to keep an eye on Riquelme. Don’t talk about trapattoni and Ferguson. They must also see that Riquelme is Villarreal’s fate, but why haven’t they kept an eye on the Argentine?
The reason is that pellegrini Riquelme, head coach of Villarreal, has such a wonderful performance in Villarreal and the Chilean coach’s elaborate tactics and array can’t be separated. He introduced Fran and Sorin, all of whom are excellent players with running ability, and added marcos senna and Aruabarana to make Riquelme think that there are three teammates around him to meet him so that he can get the ball smoothly.
With such a set of players who can give full play to Riquelme’s technical characteristics and the Argentine’s top ability to get rid of it, Juventus and Manchester United, which are in the process of changing blood, will be beaten in Villarreal because their running ability is their weakness, which gives Villarreal the opportunity.
However, although Fiorentina defenders are not afraid of Villarreal’s offensive style of relying on a lot of running and pulling out, which once made many top midfield organizers, including Zida, fail, this does not mean that Viola’s defense is perfect. When Florence is faced with Rui Costa, Miku and Riquelme, who are good at sending accurate balls in a narrow front, the pressure of Viola’s defense is often much greater than that when dealing with Zida’s midfield, because such players are better at grasping fleeting opportunities and tearing Florence’s defense with accurate balls.
The final winner will be Florence. On the one hand, Viola’s overall strength makes more threats in the competition, while Miku’s teammates are often inferior in ability and it is difficult to grasp their manufacturing opportunities. On the other hand, because this kind of classical front waist physical strength is generally not so good, Florence’s highintensity defense often kicks and kicks, so there is no strength …
In the first leg of the away game against Villarreal, Mourinho still sent a main force very carefully, just like when dealing with Arsenal. Mourinho chose to defend by blocking the middle of the road and putting two wings in the middle.
After all, if Riquelme gives a wonderful goal when he is full of physical strength on the court and Villarreal players seize this opportunity, Florence will be passive in this semifinal
Chapter 1394 The last classical front waist (2)
It turns out that Mourinho’s defensive strategy against Villarreal can be said to be quite effective. In the face of Florence’s practice of preventing two flanks in the middle, Riquelme had to spend a lot of energy to get rid of the harassment and forced grabbing by Makelele and others. Naturally, his energy in organizing and dispatching was much less. In addition, Florence deployed heavy troops in the middle, and Riquelme distributed the ball to the defensive force more than the virtual wings in the game, trying to mobilize the defensive attention of Florence players, so as to give more play to his teammates in the middle.
However, like Arsenal’s problems, Villarreal also lacks a commanding height that can contain Florence’s central defense force. Most of the goals sent by Sorin and others were cleared by Starr before their height and prejudgment advantage in the penalty area, and Fran, a new European golden boot, was not given a chance to kick the door!
There is no doubt about the strength of Diego Forlan, winner of La Liga Golden Boot and European Golden Boot Award (tied with Milito) in the season. Of course, there are also many people who say that Fran was able to turn over from a humble parallel to a wellknown shooter tied with Ronaldo and Milito after leaving Manchester United, mainly because Riquelme, a midfielder, was behind him, sending him shells continuously.
Me, me, too! This sentence really tells many people’s views on Fran at this time.
Actually, this statement is not biased. You know, when playing at Manchester United, Fran was also given the ball by top midfielders such as Beckham, Veron and Ryan Giggs, but Uruguayans did not play their expected power on the offensive end. Instead, they became parallel goods in the mouth of fans because of frequent wave opportunities and low goal efficiency, and they did not have the style when playing in Villarreal today.
The main reason for this difference is that Fran didn’t adapt to the atmosphere of Premier League football at that time, that is, when he joined the Red Devils, he was expected by fans. Fran (at that time, Fran moved to Manchester United for $120,000) was scolded by fans for parallel imports once he failed to show his worth.
In such a slightly harsh environment and public opinion atmosphere, it is easy to cause problems with the player’s selfconfidence, which is very important for a player. If he loses his selfconfidence, it will be difficult for the player to exert his due strength even if he is brilliant. After coming to Villarreal, pellegrini carefully guided him and the Spanish La Liga team, which is familiar with the language environment, generally attacked and ignored the game style. Only then did Genvrain’s confidence be destroyed and reestablished and his career returned to the right path.
However, in this game, Fran also played well in the season, but did not show his new European golden boots. In Florence, Uruguayans were very difficult to get the ball from their teammates and did not perform well, which really disappointed many fans who came to the scene to watch the home team.
Fran, a player with a wide range of running, has no obvious weaknesses in shooting skills. These are his strengths. Mourinho put on a steady posture on the bench and said to Di livio while observing the game. It’s a pity that this is what Florence is most afraid of, but there is no top striker. If Alessandro (Sta) is dealing with Lazio, the Ivorian, or Henry, Sheva and Ronaldo, I might be worried about Fran. Now he doesn’t have this level of strength.
Thought of this, Mourinho was very glad that Florence met an Arsenal that was no longer at its peak. If Florence met the gunner who couldn’t defeat in the Premier League for 49 consecutive games, Mourinho would have chosen to give up one of the two fronts, because Henry was also a solution at Arsenal at that time, and now Henry is still the king of Highbury in the mouth of the Arsenal fans, but the speed of the 29yearold Frenchman is obviously lower than that of two years ago, and it is enough to take out one of them at will to cope with his impact.
Villarreal obviously doesn’t have a player who can pose enough threat to Florence’s defense line on the offensive end, or Riquelme, although he has this ability, is too slow in pace and speed on the court. When he adjusts his pace and prepares for his own attack, Florence has already arranged layers of defense lines, waiting for him to trap himself.
Therefore, in the offensive end, the method creates enough pressure for Florence, and the Villarreal defense naturally has to bear the increasingly sharp and rapid counterattack from the visiting team
Although Zhuang Ge changed Senna’s career track to a certain extent, the Brazilian came to el madrigal and together with Tacchinardi formed the yellow submarine midfield barrier. In this game, Senna and Tacchinardi joined forces to build an airtight wall in front of the defense line, which simply stopped most of Florence’s counterattacks and missed the ball. Pena and Alvarez also succeeded in clearing the ball, which did not give Milito the first Florence trident a chance.
Thanks to the combination of Senna and Tacchinardi, who swept and intercepted Villarreal in front of the defense line, they were not quickly countered by Florence and crashed, which kept the score at a constant level.
For this situation, Mourinho is also very surprised that Nesena and Tacchinardi suddenly burst into such amazing energy on the defensive end in this game, which is what he expected, and the Portuguese didn’t expect that Riquelme’s containment on the offensive end would be so strongalthough the Argentine’s rhythm and speed on the court were so slow that Florence’s side blocked his ball and broke through the route, which caused Pirlo to instigate the offensive position to be much later than usual, and Barak didn’t dare to throw himself into the counterattack easily!
It is precisely because Riquelme restrained the Fiorentina players’ energy on the offensive end that Senna and Tacchinardi played well in Villarreal, which managed to keep the score even and didn’t let Fiorentina win a big victory in the first leg.
In this way, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Florence finally shook hands with Villarreal in el madrigal and ended the first leg of the semifinal of the Champions League!

After the game, many people who watched the game thought that Florence didn’t take away a victory from el madrigal, which was really caused by Viola’s bad luck today and the brave play of Gassena and Tacchinardi. If not, Florence would probably have booked a ticket to Paris (the city where the 56season Champions League final was held) before the second leg against Villarreal.
However, for those fans who saw the final score, Villarreal’s first contract draw in the Champions League semifinal turned out to be something they didn’t expect. Therefore, there were not a few people who were very impressed with Villarreal after the gameVillarreal really had two brushes even if there were some lucky factors.
Apart from this group of fans, the Argentine media are naturally the most excited about Villarreal’s firstleg draw with Florence. In these media’s view, Villarreal’s success in beating top giants like Juventus in the Champions League and drawing with Florence in the first leg is the core of his field, Riquelme!
Since Riquelme can take a small club like Villarreal to the semifinal of the Champions League, there is still hope of reaching the final. So this year’s German World Cup will make his team more powerful. Is it possible for Argentina to win the World Cup again after a lapse of 20 years?
Florentine fans and Italian media scoffed at this argument from Argentine mediaMakelele and Ballack, who defended Riquelme so badly in this game that they didn’t even threaten the ball. How did Riquelme lead Villarreal to a draw with Florence? Had it not been for Senna and Tacchinardi and Riquelme alone, Florence would have finished Villarreal long ago.
Well …
People say that moving is tiring. I didn’t think it was. Now it looks really tiring. The conductor gave me a liter of saliva!
But all the people didn’t think it was the mantis demon warrior who was silent for a while and suddenly took the initiative to kneel on the ground.
So he didn’t say anything.
The sound of highheeled shoes landing attracted people’s attention, and the wedding was really colorful. One just left and another came, but these supporting roles took turns.
Asked with a straight face, What lies?
