Big back

Chapter 65 List of 18 National People's Congress
Villarreal's intra-team matches lasted for three consecutive days. After Fan Bizhuang joined the team, he participated in three consecutive intra-team matches. It is worth mentioning that in these three games, he played He is wearing a red vest and participating as the main force.

His performance is not the best, but it is passable. After all, he is a rookie who has just joined the team. It is enough to show his own characteristics, and his focused attitude in training and games has also been recognized by the main team. Coach Manuel Pellegrini's affirmation.

However, on Friday, this kind of actual combat drill-style intra-team match was not continued, because on Saturday, Villarreal will welcome Getafe, a team from the suburbs of Madrid, at home. As a challenge, Villarreal's coaches will not conduct high-volume training at this juncture, lest the team suffer from unpredictable injuries.

The daily training on Friday is mainly based on basic and physical training, and there will be a special coach explaining the tactical routines of the Saturday league to the players. When the training is about to end, Ruben will gather all the players together.

Everyone understood why. The players lined up on the sidelines. Coach Manuel Pellegrini had already been waiting there. After Ruben came over, he handed the small book in his hand to his assistant Ruben.

Like many professional teams, Villarreal's list of players will be drawn up the day before the game. There may be changes in between, but one day is enough. If you decide to modify the list temporarily , is also enough to do it before the official start of the game.

"Tomorrow is the day of the match against Getafe. I think you must be very interested in this little book in my hand."

This is Ruben's opening remarks. He smiled and raised the small book in his hand filled with the names of the 18-man roster, and the players also laughed.

Everyone’s expressions are also different. For example, Nihat, Harvey Venta and other unstoppable main players just smiled and stopped paying attention, while players such as Pena and Arzo who are cruising on the edge of the main force and the substitute , but his eyes brightened, full of expectations for this little book.

Fan Bizhuang is naturally one of the many hopefuls. Isn't his original intention of leaving La Masia and joining this seaside town to have more opportunities to play at a higher level?However, his temperament is relatively restrained. Although the incomparable desire in his heart is not shown on his face, the most important thing is that he also knows that he is just a rookie who has just joined the team and has no idea about the team's style and tactical system. He is not familiar with him, and he has not established a tacit understanding with many teammates. Even though the contract specifically states that he will be given a lot of playing time, but now, the chances of him being included in the 18-man roster are still slim.

"I see eagerness and expectation in your eyes. Being able to enter the 18-man squad means that there is a chance to play. This is the greatest affirmation of your hard work and training in the past week. I think...Damn it, Pena, please You take your hand away from my eyes..."

The good old man Ruben played his excellent attribute of "talking", which made many impatient players a little bit unbearable. Argentine central defender Pena took advantage of Ruben's talk and secretly extended his hand to him. The small book in mid-air was discovered by Ruben, who stared at him and scolded him. Pena's hand stopped in mid-air, his face was full of embarrassment, neither stretched forward nor retracted, not to mention the expression on his face. innocent.

After being disturbed by Pena, the players relaxed a lot, and some cheerful players laughed and joked.

"I didn't realize that Pena, who has always been honest and steady, has the attributes of a chicken thief. It's so funny!"

"It's all coach Ruben's fault, so much nonsense, isn't this to whet our appetite?"

"Coach Ruben, hurry up and announce the list, we can't wait! It's killing us!"

Everyone was shouting, but Fan Bizhuang's expression didn't change, but he in the crowd, his head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and he couldn't stop at all.

Ruben nodded with a smile, and also complied with public opinion, and opened the small book: "Okay, since it's everyone's intention, then I won't talk nonsense, and just roll the roll."

The scene fell silent, everyone looked at the assistant coach, and Ruben began to roll his name: "Goalkeeper position, Barbosa... Vieira."

Everyone nodded. The position of the goalkeeper generally does not change much. Barbosa has always been the No. 1 goalkeeper of the team, but in order to avoid unexpected situations, a substitute goalkeeper is essential. It is reasonable to be selected.

"Defender Gonzalo... Keek... Xavi..."

Ruben then called a few names, and none of the main players on the back line appeared on the list.But when he read the name of the substitute, Ruben paused for a moment, and then looked Pena up and down with a smile.

"What about me, what about me?!"

Pena still looked anxious, if it wasn't for so many people watching, he would have jumped on it long ago.

Ruben just looked at him, smiled and said nothing, which made him jump up and down even more.

Some players couldn't hold back their low chuckles. Even Fan Bizhuang felt that a good old man also had a spoof side, and Ruben was also very keen on making fun of people.

After reading all the defenders, Ruben finally stopped torturing Pena and nodded with a chuckle: "Pena."

Pena jumped up excitedly as if he had won the jackpot.

"Congratulations, Mr. Pena, please accept our interview, how do you feel about winning the Oscar statuette?"

"I'm a special correspondent for Villarreal Rotten Eggs. May I ask who you are most grateful for when you won the Best Rotten Eggs award in La Liga this season?"

"Pena, you really lived up to expectations and were successfully selected for the bench team again... Ha, the bench will always belong to you, come on, I am optimistic about you!"

The teammates clamored again and congratulated Pena, who was successfully selected as a substitute. Nihat and Pires, who love to be funny, were not hurtful and uncomfortable. The former grabbed a handful of weeds from the ground and used them as trophies." "Issued" to Pena, and the latter even acted as a guest reporter and was conducting on-site interviews.

This made Pena very angry, and several people made a mess of scratching and scratching.

Ruben ignored them. This is the atmosphere of the Villarreal team. The players are like brothers, and jokes are almost an indispensable part of life. Under Pellegrini's gesture, Ruben continued to read Get started with the list.

"Roman...Marcos...Josico...Alessio...Robert..."

After reciting seven or eight names in one breath, Ruben was a little out of breath. He stopped, his eyes stayed on Fan Bizhuang's face for a short while, and then looked away immediately.

Some of the players whose names were read were waving and cheering, but Fan Bizhuang was faintly disappointed. From Ruben's expression, he already knew that this time, he seemed hopeless.

Sure enough, Ruben spoke again, and the names he read this time were all players on the front line of the team.

"Diego Forlan...Kach...Jose Mari...Fonte..."

After reading the names, Reuben closed the book.

Everyone understands that the 18-man roster has been announced, and the players who have been sitting firmly in the main position do not have much expression, while the other selected substitute players are chattering with excitement, while some players who have not been selected are unable to hide their disappointment. .

"I'm not the main force, who is the main force, I really don't have any sense of expectation!"

Nihat laughed loudly, and his snarky appearance made people itch with hatred. Coach Ruben gave him an annoyed look: "If you want to have a surprise, Kach, next time Manuel and I Sir would be happy to do it and trust me we will keep you looking forward to it."

"..."

It’s a shame, Nihat doesn’t really want his name to be removed from the main lineup. If he angers the coaches and really makes him not even enter the roster for the next league game, the sense of anticipation may be Yes, it's just a surprise, ha, probably a shock!
"Ha, I'm just talking, just talking, Coach Ruben, don't take it seriously, ha, don't take it seriously..."

Nihat smiled coyly, turned around to cover up his embarrassment, and put his arm around Fan Bizhuang's shoulders: "Hey, little rookie, why do you look so ugly? Ha, could it be that you yelled in your heart, 'Choose me? I'll choose me'? Ha, let me tell you, don't be discouraged, this time won't work, there will be a next time! I am optimistic about you, and you will definitely be able to enter the 18-man squad next time!"

Fan Bizhuang was already in a somewhat disappointed mood, and Nihat's comforting words were more like showing off, which made him bitter for a while, with a cold face turned aside, he was afraid After watching it, I couldn't restrain myself, and stepped on this annoying face.

"Ha, I lost my temper. Let me tell you, little rookie, when I first came here, it took me more than two months to get into the 18-man roster, and I stayed on the bench for nearly a month before I got here. I took the opportunity to come off the bench. Don't expect too much, just keep working hard, hahaha..."

Nihat laughed again, then leaned his head to Fan Bizhuang, and boasted: "Of course, if you recognize me as the boss and my little follower, maybe Mr. Manuel will take care of me Come on, let you have a chance to play faster. How about it, do you want to think about it?"

"Think about your sister!"

Fan Bizhuang almost couldn't hold back his swearing, this Nihat, with his stinking mouth, really made people speechless.

"Hang out with you, then go to nightclubs to flirt with girls, and then accept punishment severely on the training ground with a bitter face?"

Riquelme, who had been silent in the crowd, suddenly spoke up. He said something mockingly to Nihat, which almost caused Nihat to suffer internal injuries.

Before Nihat could argue, Riquelme looked confidently at Nihat and continued: "I have a way to make Fan play faster without paying any price. How about it, Kach , do you want to make a bet?"

Ruben and Pellegrini, who had been watching the disciples fighting, suddenly looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes. Ruben leaned over and said with a low smile: "It seems that there are still smart people in the team." Ah, Roman seems to have discovered something."

"Don't underestimate Roman's wisdom, here..." Pellegrini pointed to his head and responded in a low voice, "He is the smartest person I have ever seen, not only on the court."
