Chapter 279 Pellegrini

For Diego, the current head coach of Villarreal is still an old acquaintance in the Super League in later generations.

He is Chilean engineer Pellegrini.

Pellegrini has coached many strong teams in later generations, including Real Madrid, the top team in La Liga, Manchester City and West Ham in the Premier League, and the Chinese Super League team Hebei China Fortune.

In world football, he can be regarded as a famous world-class coach.

In the Villarreal lineup, there is also a striker who will shock football in the future.

Uruguay active international Diego Forlan!
The super shooter who once won the World Cup Golden Boot!

You must know that in later generations, before Diego da Silva Costa took the lead, he was always the substitute of Atletico Madrid's head forward Diego Forlan. Until Diego Forlan left Atletico Madrid, Diego da Silva Costa ·Silva Costa has just begun to take the position of Atletico Madrid's main center.

At this moment, Diego Forlan has just emerged in European football, but he has already secured the position of Villarreal's top scorer.

So during the preparation period, Fernando Santos mentioned the name Diego Forlan more than once.

"Diego Forlan's personal abilities are very comprehensive. He has the ability to single-handedly challenge the entire defense line of the opponent. Therefore! In this game, the back line needs to be highly concentrated. Otherwise, Diego Forlan only needs to Seizing even one chance is enough to score a goal!"

For this, David Luiz was quite dismissive: "Diego Forlan, a Uruguayan, is he so powerful?"

"Diego Forlan is really good!"

Diego nodded seriously and said: "Diego Forlan's personal ability, I don't think Louison may be able to handle him. Let alone you. You know, he is the leading shooter in Uruguay!"

"The Uruguayan national team is not very good."

"Tsk, you bastard..."

Diego shook his head helplessly and said: "At that time, you will be completely blown by Diego Forlan, but don't blame me for not reminding you, Diego Forlan's shooting ability with both feet is quite top-notch."

In addition to Diego Forlan, the Uruguayan striker, there is another name worthy of attention in Villania's lineup-Bruno Soriano.

Bruno Soriano can be described as a talented midfielder who came out of Villarreal's youth training.

Although Bruno Soriano has not yet been selected for the Spanish adult national team, he has already made quite good achievements in the Spanish youth echelon at all levels.

Many Spanish teams have made offers to Villarreal for Bruno Soriano, including Real Madrid.

However, Villarreal executives have very high expectations for Bruno Soriano. They believe that this self-produced young talent will be able to carry Villarreal in the next 10 years and 8 years. The banner of Yar's midfield.

Therefore, no matter how generous the purchase price offered by other clubs is, Villar's senior executives unanimously believe that Bruno Soriano is not for sale by the club.

Bruno Soriano is also a player who is very loyal to Villarreal. He expressed his loyalty to the media: "Villarreal is my childhood dream. I have always imagined it since I was a child. I hope that I can become the main player of Villarreal, and now that I have secured my main position in Villarreal, I hope to play at the club of my childhood dreams until I retire."

Bruno Soriano's loyal remarks also made the club's senior management very happy.

Before the start of the new season, Villarreal put a five-year contract extension in front of Bruno Soriano at a high cost.

Without any hesitation, Bruno Soriano directly signed his name on the contract, leaving his golden age for the next 5 years at the Love Song Stadium and his favorite childhood club.

Diego is quite familiar with the player Bruno Soriano.

In later generations, Bruno Soriano has always played for Villarreal and did not go to other clubs to play. Until Diego was reborn in 2006, Bruno Soriano still did not retire. As the meritorious captain of Villarreal, the team he leads is competing in the La Liga where many heroes are emerging.

In addition to Bruno Soriano, the goalkeeper Mariano Barbosa, who played in Villarreal's youth training, has never left Villarreal in his career.

In later generations, Mariano Barbosa is still the No. [-] goalkeeper of Villarreal, waiting silently on the bench. After all, the goalkeeper Asenjo produced by Atletico Madrid's youth training is quite powerful.

However, at this moment, Villarreal does not have Asenjo, and Mariano Barbosa is naturally Villarreal's number one goalkeeper.

Mariano Barbosa will start the friendly against Benfica.

In Villarreal's lineup, there is also a Pellegrini favorite Matias Fernandez.

This is Pellegrini's fellow Chilean.

It has to be said that Pellegrini is also a person who is afraid of loneliness. No matter which team he coaches, he will definitely ask one or two of his direct players to follow him.

Martiano Fernandez is also the core of Villarreal's midfielder. However, the Spanish media said with various jokes: The main reason why Villarreal has not been able to play in the Champions League is Mariano Fernandez. Fernandez pulls down the cap on the yellow submarine.

You know, Villarreal's midfielder also includes Robert Pires, who was transferred from Arsenal, and "the last classic midfielder" Riquelme in the midfielder. The 22-year-old Chilean teenager Mathias Fernandez as the main core?

No matter which league or team they are playing in, they are waiting to be sprayed by the media to the point where even their mother doesn’t recognize them.

Robert Pires and Riquelme are both famous in world football.

Although he is 33 years old, Pires' explosive ability on the wing is still comparable to most young players. The most frightening thing is that the small skills on the wing are not comparable to young players. .

Not to mention Riquelme, the classic midfielder who played for Barcelona before-he can be called the best player of Boca Juniors in the 21st century!

But what is more helpless is that, like the vast majority of Argentine players, Riquelme has a serious "homesickness complex", and his life in Spain seems very unacceptable. Able to integrate into the Villarreal team.

This has limited Riquelme's performance in Villarreal to some extent.

But as a classic attacking midfielder, he had a flash of inspiration on the court, and an occasional hidden through ball was enough to help the team create an offensive threat. He assisted Diego Forlan, who was at the top, to complete the goal. ball.

However, Pellegrini did not help Riquelme integrate into the team, and even insisted that Riquelme could not become the team's leader because of Riquelme's traditional "homesickness" of Argentine players. The core of the midfield, thus establishing his direct descendant Mariano Fernandez as the core of the team, and gradually reducing Riquelme's playing time.

This made Riquelme quite unhappy at Villarreal.

Riquelme has previously expressed to the Argentinian media: "My time at Villarreal was very painful. I hope to return to Argentina and Boca Juniors in the winter. I hope to play happily, not Suffering in locker room struggles and wasting my youth on the bench."

For Riquelme's unhappiness in Villarreal, Boca Youth's top management also paid a lot of attention.

Afterwards, the president of the Boca Youth Club said: "We welcome Riquelme back. Boca is Riquelme's home! As long as Riquelme wants to come back, we will do everything we can to transfer to Villarreal." Will negotiate to welcome our heroes back to Candy Box Stadium."

This means that Boca Juniors have started transfer negotiations with Villarreal.

However, because the team needs to fight in La Liga, the Europa League, and the Copa del Rey in the first half of the game, the pressure on the midfield is huge. Villarreal is more inclined to release players when the winter transfer window opens in January 07.

For Riquelme's departure, those fans who like Riquelme pointed their finger at the "Chilean engineer" Pellegrini.

However, Pei Shuai felt that there was nothing wrong with his employment.

Even Pei Shuai said directly in front of the media: "Fernandez has more potential and is more suitable to serve as the core of the team's midfield. Riquelme's physical confrontation is too poor, and our midfield needs to be stronger."

This further intensified the conflict between him and Riquelme.

As for how the conflict between the two generals will further intensify, and even explode into a quarrel on the stage, this is an unknown.

For such a style of life and work, Diego thinks that this is very "Pellegrini style".

The Chilean engineer has always been a person who is not good at handling locker room battles. In terms of personnel and tactics, there are also all kinds of strange things. Whether you say he innovates or he has a cramp in his mind, there is nothing wrong with either way.

The players who were pushed into the main force by him regarded him as the godfather, and the veterans who were pulled down by him wanted to gnaw his bones.

But no matter how controversial Pellegrini's employment and tactics are, at least Pellegrini is a coach who can cover the team's lower limit. In that way, it is difficult to break through the ceiling of the team to challenge the league class bully.

Therefore, it is not without reason that Pellegrini coached every team and dismissed get out of class sadly when his grades were not too bad.

(PS: I have to say here that Pellegrini is indeed a very tossing master! Few players like him. The team he coaches, the locker room has never been peaceful, like dismissing from West Ham this season, it is The team got rid of him.

Homesickness was one reason why Riquelme left mainstream European football at the age of 28, but more importantly, the intensified conflict with Pellegrini made Riquelme no longer want to stay in Europe. )
