The strongest winger

Chapter 45 Preparing for Villarreal
******
Aiello and David.After reading "Valencia Sport", Silva went directly to the locker room of the training ground to change clothes, and then moved to the training ground.

When they came to the training ground, there were already six or seven people on the field. When everyone saw Ai Luo, they were instinctively stunned, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Isn't this guy the first one to come every day?Why is it so late today? ?
Seeing everyone's doubts and incomprehensions, Ai Luo took the initiative to say: "David and I watched "Valencia Sport" for a while in Uncle Lucas's guard room, so...hehe"

Everyone showed such an expression.

"Hey, Ai - don't you see that you are also quite photogenic?" Aurelio jokingly said to Ai Luo who was adjusting his socks while bouncing the ball.

Seeing Aurelio juggling the ball, Ai Luo became playful and quickly fixed the socks. He took a football from the basket not far away, and then put it on the spot to aim at the football Aurelio was bouncing. After kicking, he said, "That must be okay, don't look at who I am. Haha"

Bang!
The sound of a football hitting a football.

"OH—YES!! Hit!!!" Ai Luo jumped up excitedly.

"I'll go!!" Aurelio raised a high middle finger towards Ai Luo, then continued to pick up the football and bounce the ball.

The latter laughed happily.

Seeing that Aurelio was going to continue juggling the ball, Ai Luo took another football from the basket, ready to repeat the trick, put the ball on the ground, and then aimed at the football.

But this time Aurelio was ready. He was ready when he saw Ai Luo throwing the football out of the corner of his eye. When Ai Luo kicked the ball over, he turned around decisively. The football kicked his back thigh, and then slowly rolled back to Ai Luo's feet.

Then Aurelio made a triumphant gesture.

"It's boring!" Ai Luo pouted, stepped on the rolling football, then turned around and pulled it, just in time to see David.He was also juggling the ball, so he said, "David, before the coach comes, let's play net football. Whoever loses will have a treat at noon today."

Haven't waited for David.Silva replied, and when other teammates heard that they had lost the treat, they quickly replied: "Wow, I want to come!"

Then another "I want to come!"

Finally, one after another

"I want to come!!"

"I want to come!"

In the end, all the players present wanted to participate in this more interesting game, so under Albelda's organization, they were divided into two groups, four against five.The rule is that you can hit the ball with any part other than your hands and arms. The ball can land once or not hit the ball when it hits your own area.Each person can only hit the ball once at a time, and cannot hit the ball twice or more in a row, otherwise it will be a failure!Each team can hit the ball up to three times, and the blocking touch is also counted as one hit. The third time the ball must be hit back from the net to the opponent's field.

After 15 minutes of fierce battle, Ai Luo, David.Silva, Albelda, Amedeo.Calponi's four-man team narrowly beat Aurelio's five-man team by two goals.

"OH-YES——BABY!!" Ai Luo and the other three clapped hands to celebrate the victory.

Here comes the free lunch!

However, one thing that can be noticed is that today Ai Luo consciously started to touch the ball with his left foot more. Although he made some mistakes at the beginning, as the number of touches increased and the sense of the ball increased, he got better.

"Hahaha——Aurelio, we'll go out in your car at noon together, don't hold back."

At this time, silence is better than sound, and I extend my middle finger to you.

Aurelio raised his middle finger, high!

Not long after the net football game ended, Ranieri and his assistant Benetti came to the training ground.There was a fierce UEFA Cup match last night, so today's arrangement is mainly to resume training.Under the leadership of fitness coach Ornes, the players are conducting ordinary recovery training.

After warming up, sit down and do some sorting activities to relax the muscles. While doing the activities, you should also fully stretch the muscles. This will help relieve tense muscles, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent muscle strain.

After completing the muscle relaxation and finishing activities, they each went to Ornes to receive a cup of homemade sports drink and drank it, which can speed up muscle recovery.

While Ranieri and Benetti sat aside to discuss the next round of the league against Villarreal at home, the two looked at the data, frowning, obviously discussing countermeasures.

The city of Villarreal has always been unknown, and the combined population of the entire city is not as full as the Mestalla Stadium. However, since Pellegrini, known as the "Chilean Engineer" took office last year, the team has changed and incorporated Pellegrini's style. Its clear lines, delicate and smooth style of play have begun to earn the respect of the entire La Liga counterparts. In the last round of the game, Valencia lost [-]-[-] at Villarreal's home stadium, which indirectly led to Villarreal's points this season. Crazy rise, now ranked fifth in La Liga, two points away from fourth place Sevilla, and only five points away from third place Valencia. This is equivalent to a six-point game, which makes the two frown.

But they are not without good news. The good news is that Villarreal also participated in last night's UEFA Cup 1/8 finals and also reached the quarter-finals. Speaking of which, Valencia still has a little advantage. Villarreal, who also played the UEFA Cup in the middle of the week, will come to an away game on the weekend. Valencia only needs to wait at home and wait for work.

At the same time, Ranieri heavily circled the three names on this data with a red water-based pen: Juan.Roman.Riquelme, Diego.Fran and goalkeeper Reina.

Looking at the names of these three people, my head hurts again. Needless to say, Riquelme is known as the last classical midfielder in modern times. Needless to say, he is so powerful, with super personal ability and super direct passing ability. As of the 25th round of La Liga, Diego.Of the [-] league goals scored by Forlan, Riquelme alone accounted for nine assists, and his ability to pass the ball can be seen.Diego.Forlan is characterized by flexible movement, superb shooting skills, and a first-class sense of smell in front of goal.In the first half of the season, the mighty Barcelona played [-]-[-] at home. The goalkeeper Reina contributed a lot in that game. With his superb goal line skills, he made ten thrilling saves in that game. This is a world-class performance!The small away goal loss in the first half of the season was also thanks to the goalkeeper Reina. Ranieri remembers it clearly. In that game, Reina saved Aimar one after another, and Vicente made two consecutive shots. Valencia defended without temper.This made Ranieri have to be careful to prevent capsized in the gutter.

After all, the league has entered the second half of the season, and the UEFA Cup has also entered the quarter-finals. If there is a slight mistake, all four will be empty, and dismissal will be his final result.

Ranieri's troubles As players, of course they can't understand. Their job is training and competitions, and they can't manage so much at other times. So after the two-hour recovery training in the morning, they left like scattered chickens. Among them, Aurelio ran the fastest.

"Hey, don't run! Don't even think about running away!!!" Ai Luo saw Aurelio who was the first to run to the locker room, shouted loudly behind, and then chased after him.

This scene was watched and enjoyed by the Valencia players.

interesting!
Can Aurelio outrun Aiello?The answer, of course, is that you can't run.

Therefore, Aurelio also stopped with self-knowledge, shrugged, and said, "Hey, it's just a matter of a meal. Do you want to chase so hard? I just want to pee urgently and just want to go to the toilet."

"The toilet is over there..." Ai Luo pointed to the toilet next to the dressing room.

"Eh... peeing is not allowed in the locker room??" Aurelio frowned.

"Pfft!—You!!!" Ai Luo was taken aback for a moment, and then pointed at Aurelio in disbelief as if he had discovered a new continent.

Aurelio quickly covered Ai Luo's mouth, and didn't let go until the other team members had finished walking, "Wait until you finish the shower and wait in the parking lot!"

"Hey, you want to get rid of me after a meal? Be careful. I told the aunt who cleaned the club's locker room that you often defecate in the locker room. She often complained about the smell in the locker room..." Ai Luo smiled and looked at Aurelio with her chest folded.

"Fuck you, brat, two meals!"

"Four meals!" Ai Luo stretched out four fingers

"Up to three meals!"

"make a deal!"

． ． ． ．
In the end, Aurelio spent three hundred euros and invited nine people to have a good meal.

Before the tactical class in the afternoon, Ranieri finally thought of a countermeasure, and said to his assistant: "Now we must not be able to defend against Riquelme and Diego Forlan, who is in excellent form. Why don't we give it a go and use violence to control violence. We will attack Villarreal in Mestalla!"

The assistant coach Benetti was taken aback. Is this the conservative Italian old man he knew?Why did it suddenly become so open?It was impossible for the word "confrontation" to appear in Ranieri's dictionary before!
Then Ranieri's words cleared his confusion, "We have Aiello, who has a strong breakthrough ability, and David Silva, who is skilled at his feet and has good organizational skills. Baraja and Albelda are also good at threatening passes. Why can't we play against them? Besides, Vicente will recover from injury next week..." But when it comes to Vicente, Ranieri frowned. Aiello and Vicente are both left wingers on the field!It is difficult for two people to give up anyone. Vicente has been with the team for a longer period of time and cooperates better, but Ai Luo also has his characteristics.

Is this the trouble of happiness?Ranieri muttered to himself.

The tactics class in the afternoon started on time at 02:30. Ranieri's tactical style of play surprised the players again, using violence to control violence?Fight against each other?It's not like our team style, is it?Didn't you always rely on defensive counterattacks to win?Some players are even thinking, the old man Ranieri should not have a fever, right?
Ranieri's next words brought back the reality of the players who were thinking about it, "I know that changing tactics at this time makes everyone unable to accept it immediately, but I want everyone to know the meaning of 'controlling violence with violence'. In the next round, we will play at home against 'Yellow Submarine' Villarreal. I believe everyone here still remembers the game in the first half of the season. Clear, delicate and smooth lines are their characteristics, but they are also their fatal flaws!" Turned around, "The quickest counterattack is the easiest way to score a goal. When they come over, we have to be careful. If they make mistakes and we steal the ball, what will happen to this open space?"

The players in the audience were not fools, and they immediately understood what the coach wanted to express. After all, they are professional teams and have a strong understanding of tactics. Some people even secretly gave Ranieri a thumbs up.

As a good player, who doesn't want to attack the city and just defend and wait for an opportunity to counterattack?
Well done, Tinker!
