Chapter 76
Li Wei sat on the bench, crossed his arms and looked at Tamudo who was guessing on the field.

Because he was put on the bench, Tamudo served as the field captain for this game.

Before the start of the game, the Espanyol fans prepared a huge tifo with great anticipation, hoping to impress this new star who has brought them countless miracles during this period.

No one expected Pochettino of the Chicken Thieves to leave the suspense until the start of the game.

Li Wei, who was originally placed in the starting lineup, was replaced due to a "temporary physical problem", so he could only get up and bow near the bench to thank the fans for their enthusiasm.

"There's something wrong with your body, I'm fine," Diego Costa muttered.

Seeing that Li Wei was so popular with the fans, he felt a little sour, especially those excited female fans, who were still dressed so coolly in October, twisting their waists as if they were dancing a passionate tango.

Hot like the sun in Barcelona.

"Unexpectedly, that model is quite powerful. Did you burn the lights to fight again last night?"

Diego Costa looked at Levi's face and began to make preconceived guesses.

"Well, your eye circles do look a little black and blue, and your spirit is a little listless."

Li Wei grinned and gritted his teeth.

Do you understand the gold content of my self-discipline kid?

With the whistle of the referee.

The game officially begins.

Villarreal, who took the lead in kick-off, organized the attack in the midfield.

Once played for the undefeated Arsenal, Robert Pires, one of the representatives of the French 98 golden generation, is currently playing for Villarreal.

This talented veteran uses his wealth of experience and superb technology.

Scheduling the rhythm of Villarreal, launched round after round of offensives towards the Spaniard's defense.

But in the face of the Spaniard who has compressed the overall formation, Villarreal has no good way to directly break through the defense line, and can only keep turning around on the outside to find opportunities.

But the transfer control is not something that anyone can play if they want to.

They lack a metronome like Barcelona, ​​and it is difficult to control the ball stably. Sometimes the Spaniard suddenly initiates a press in the frontcourt, and Villarreal has to pass the ball back to the backcourt to reorganize.

Pellegrini gritted his teeth, this was not the scene he wanted to see.

His original idea was to use the solid defense of Gonzalo Rodriguez and Godin, as well as Bruno Soriano who directly exchanged one with Levi to implement the "exchanging son" tactic.

Abolish the Spaniard's frontcourt playmaker.

At the same time, take advantage of the opportunity to plan a defensive counterattack with Pires as the core. As long as a goal is stolen, the overall position will be immediately deployed for intensive defense.

The Chilean engineer is not coaching a wealthy team.

If you want to win the La Liga championship, you must try your best to gnaw the game down in the safest way.

I'm afraid of losing, I don't dare waste a single point, it's okay to be a little shameless if I want to win.

Not far away, Pochettino is stroking his thick chin, showing a meaningful smile.

It never occurred to Pellegrini that this man was more shameless than he.

A lot of core players have been rotated directly, and then even the striker's position is behind the middle circle?

After stealing the ball, he didn't organize at all, and directly counterattacked with a long pass in front.

If the counterattack fails, it falls back to defense.

How about your wing guards flying with both wings?Why not go up?
Don't you have a player like Li Wei who is good at organizing in your team?Why not send it up?
Pellegrini did not believe that Levi, who had scored a hat-trick a few days ago, would suddenly go wrong. Right now, this decision was hanging over his head like a knife.

"This Spaniard player is obviously super strong but overly cautious"

On the other hand, Villarreal had to carry out a difficult battle, constantly dispatching the ball to find opportunities.

Just a Pires at the end of his career can't handle such tactics.

In Pellegrini's view, at the moment his team is completely engaged in tactics they are not familiar with.

"Pirez! Pires! The old man is very active on the court! He passed Ferran Kolominas, and a feint dunked Moises Ull who came to press Tado!"

Halfway through the game, Pires' jersey was already soaked in sweat, and he tried to pass it forward after passing two people in a row.

But the front is still a dense blue and white formation, and the Villarreal players are struggling to intersperse among them.

There are no Campbell or Toure behind him.
He has no Vieira by his side, no Ljungberg.
No Bergkamp ahead, no Henry, no Reyes
After getting the ball, Llorente and Rossi struggled to pass, and finally they could only end the attack with a long shot across the crossbar from outside the penalty area.

"It makes me fall asleep."

The die-hard fan Beagle muttered, and patted his daughter on the head at the same time.

The little girl with golden braids fell forward precariously, but fortunately her father was quick to catch her up.

"Well, did Levi play?"

Brooklyn opened her confused and ignorant eyes and glanced at the field, but the nimble and nimble figure did not appear.

"Those who didn't know thought they were watching a Sevilla game."

A fan next to him commented.

In this era, Simeone is still coaching the veteran giants River Plate in the Argentine League, and Atletico Madrid is not the most defensive team in La Liga.

It is Sevilla's coach Marono Jimenez who really takes the iron barrel formation to the extreme.

On the field, Tamudo received a pass from Riera and shot from the side of the penalty area, which was blocked by Godin who tackled sideways.

He wiped his sweat, and Tamudo, who was shoveled to the ground, complained to the referee.

But the ball is indeed the football that touches first.

Godin's body is actually a bit thinner than some central defenders.

But he is always good at analyzing the characteristics of each opponent, adjusting the timing of blocking and kicking according to their characteristics, and judging the sense of position.

Before the game, he carefully studied Levi's recent game video and made adequate preparations.

This kid has made Puyol, Cannavaro and other well-known football central defenders his background board.

He doesn't want to be next.

Responsibility, calm and iron-blooded, iron-like willpower, this is Godin.

In the 44th minute of the game, Villarreal made a forward pass in front of the penalty area. Roman Martinez, who was eager to steal the ball, advanced too quickly and lost a lot of space.

Villarreal midfielder Senna puts the ball through to Capdevila who runs in.

Capdevila and Pires teamed up to complete a wall-to-wall match.

After passing La Roux, Pires dribbled the ball straight to the baseline, and Torrejon tried to prevent Pires from making a cross from the bottom.

But the old and demon Pires deftly stepped on the ball near the baseline and turned around, taking advantage of the situation.

Passed Torrejon and swept the ball into the penalty area.

Center forward Rossi understood immediately, and shot in front of the goal, which was blocked by Bravo.

"It's amazing, Bravo is the savior of the Spaniard in this game! If this goal is scored, I don't know how the Spaniard will respond to the game next."

"The yellow submarines after the lead will definitely dive deep into the deep sea under the leadership of their captain Pellegrini, and they will never find their weaknesses."

Andres Montes seems to have been buffed with a speed limit today, and he has no chance to show it.

Pochettino stood on the sidelines, his palm on his forehead, and he almost flinched.

With the current attention of this team in China, it is estimated that the fans in Guangdong Province should have given him the nickname Bohi many years in advance.

Corner awarded to Villarreal.

"Pires took the corner and the football fell into the side of the penalty area and the point was very dangerous."

Players from both sides wrestled in the penalty area, waiting for the moment when the football fell into the penalty area.

Torrejon was fighting with the opponent's central defender, the Uruguayan kid named Godin, and he felt that the opponent's body was thinner than his.

But the central defender was able to lean on him firmly and couldn't be squeezed away.

"Look at this opportunity! Who can grab it!"

Andres Montes speaks fast, with a smooth tongue-tick.

"Godin!!!"

The camera zoomed in sharply, and a leaping figure cut off the space in front of the goal.

The leaping Bravo tried to stop the tricky falling bouncing ball, but to no avail.

In the 45th minute, Uruguayan defender Godin headed the ball into the net.

Espanyol fell behind 0-1 at home.

The excited Villarreal players embraced and celebrated this great goal.

Annoyed and disappointed Espanyol fans booed and cursed.

Pellegrini smiled with satisfaction
In the second half, Villarreal will start to guard against the deadly defense and take the three points steadily.

The referee blew the whistle to end the half-time game.

Pochettino sighed, feeling like he was off the hook.

The Espanyol players who came off the field looked at Levi on the bench.

There seemed to be four words written in the eyes: team danger, return quickly!

"In the second half you replaced Ferran Kolominas."

As soon as he walked into the locker room, Pochettino couldn't wait to say.

This family still can't live without Li Wei. When he is on the court, whether it is scoring, retreating to catch the ball, or making transfers.

The other players are comfortable and just need to do their job.

Possession of the ball is not only a right, but also a pressure.

"The second half of the game is about to start. We saw that the Spaniard made substitution adjustments. Levi, who was originally placed on the bench, replaced Ferran Kolominas. Originally he was declared to be unwell, but now A team down by one goal clearly needed his rescue."

Andres Montes said in surprise after seeing the substitution adjustment.

At this moment, the Mozuxi Stadium, which had been silent for the entire half, erupted into jubilant noise again, and the diehard fans waved their flags one after another.

"Oh my God!"

Beagle closed his eyes tightly, put his hands on his chest, and smiled happily.

When Li Wei came, there was a goal.

With Li Wei coming, the Mozuxi Stadium will be peaceful.

"Be sure to guard against him!"

Pellegrini gathered the players together and repeatedly urged.

"Hold for 45 minutes and we're going to take three points from this game."
