Chapter 163 The best team in September

Three days later, Villarreal set off again for the away game, a guest in Santander, Cantabria.

Because this week is a week of double matches, the schedule is very intensive. After the game with Murcia, the yellow submarine will immediately start the next league game after a short rest.

This is more than that, after the away game with Racing Santander, they need to return to the small town non-stop, and prepare for the league game with Athletic Bilbao at home in four days.

Continuous running is actually a big challenge for the team, coupled with the sequelae left by the FIFA virus, it is a great test for the energy and physical fitness of the players.

In the game against Murcia, the team played with a "remnant formation" of half main force and half substitute. In this game against Racing Santander, Pellegrini once again used a large number of substitute players. Players promoted from the reserve team such as Semi Bilardo and Maquitos entered the starting lineup, and Godin, who transferred from Uruguay at the beginning of the season, also ushered in his first La Liga game.

Fan Bizhuang became the starting player for two consecutive games. Apart from him, there are basically a lot of new faces in the three lines of the team. In terms of midfield axis, Josico partnered with Bilado, and Carney was the right back. .Except for Josico, who he is familiar with, the others did not cooperate much.

That's all, what's more exaggerated is the defense. The team's defense is almost completely new. Godin and Pena, who played for the first time in the new season, are the central defenders. The left back is Capdevila, and the right back is Harvey. .Venta, the goalkeeper is Vieira.

In the entire defense line, except for Harvey Venta, who is the regular main force, the others are all substitute players.

As for the striker, Rossi and Maquitos partnered with each other.

Such a starting lineup can no longer be called "half main force, half substitute". In fact, this is a well-deserved "second-tier team".

Pellegrini's intentions are very clear. He wants to hide the main players, so that the players can get enough adjustment and rest time to prepare for the next fierce battle with the Basque Lions.In his opinion, Racing Santander is not a strong team, and it is enough to play with such a lineup-Pellegrini sees a long way, he does not pay much attention to the outcome of a game, after all He and his team are still too far away from winning the league championship. Although they are now ranked second in the standings, there are no unrealistic ideas, and it is still a goal for the team to qualify for the European competition next season. The team's stated goals.The league is a very long process, and the "abandonment" of one or two games is only a means to an end.

Pellegrini's meaning is very simple. With such a rotation lineup and dealing with weak teams, it is best to win, and a draw is acceptable. Even if he loses in the end, he will admit it.

What Pellegrini didn't expect was that the team gave him a big surprise. After conceding a goal in the first half, Villarreal completed a Jedi counterattack in the second half. First, Carney A missed shot in front of the goal scored a goal, and then Fan Bi assisted Pena with a header from a corner kick, completing the overtake in the score. At the last moment of the game, the striker Fu Lan, receiving the ball from Josico, took a long shot from running and directly broke the goal of Racing Santander.

3: 1!

With a rotation lineup, Villarreal easily won the game and also achieved four consecutive victories in the league.

This allowed their league points to reach 12 points, and their ranking has also risen smoothly, leading the La Liga standings.

Although this is not the final ranking of the league, Villarreal's overall strength and the thickness of the bench make it difficult to sit in this position forever, but it is also a great blessing for the club to be able to become the leader of the league for a short time. Thinking about how super giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona are under the pressure of a team from a small city like them, this is really a very cool thing.

Such a result is enough to make the fans in the small town excited for at least a long time, especially when facing Valencia, they will have more to talk about-don't you city people look down on us country people?Ha, now you want to look down on me again?Hmph, it's just sour foxes, if you have the ability, you also put Real Madrid and Barcelona under you, and try to be the leader for a while?

.....................................................................................................................

Fan Bizhuang failed to score a goal in this game, but he contributed an assist and performed well.And the position on the scorer list has not changed. Eto'o also failed to score in this round, and the two are still tied for first place-but they are not the only players tied for first place. Van Nistelrooy, the king of the restricted area, has increased his goal count to four in this round, and the player who tied for the top scorer list has changed from two to three.

Behind these three, stars such as Raul and Forlan who scored three goals followed closely behind.

To Fan Bizhuang's surprise, he also saw a familiar yet unfamiliar name on the scorer list——Leo Messi.

"The little man?"

The appearance of a somewhat short boy appeared in Fan Bizhuang's mind, and he laughed aloud, but didn't take it to heart.That person can be regarded as his former teammate, but like most La Masia players, he doesn't have much friendship with the other party. If there was no conflict, he might not even remember the other party's name.

"Three goals, really amazing!"

Being able to have such data and performance in a giant team like Barcelona, ​​Messi is indeed worthy of the title of "La Masia's rare genius in a century", and even Fan Bizhuang has to admire him.He knows his own family affairs. Although he is now overwhelming the opponent in the scorer list, his own statistics are mostly accidental. After all, he is not a genuine striker, and scoring goals is not his full-time job.

But Messi is different, this is a serious striker.With the deepening of the league, he will only score more and more goals, and it may not be long before the opponent can in turn surpass him in goals.

Of course, from another perspective, Fan Bizhuang, who is not a forward but has scored so many goals, is even more remarkable than the opponent.

"Never mind him, how many goals other people score and how they perform, what does it matter to me? This is not in La Masia, and I am not the passerby who couldn't even play the game and no one paid attention to me. See you again When it’s time, do your best.”

Two days later, the seaside town boiled again.

The official website of the Spanish Football League announced the best team for September. On this list of players who performed well in the entire La Liga in September, Fan Bizhuang's name is impressively listed.Not as a substitute, but as a starting 11, meaning he was voted one of the league's best 11s of the month.

Throughout Villarreal, there are a total of three players selected. Except for Van Bizhuang, the other two are Riquelme and Abarina. The former can enter this best team list from time to time. The latter is the first time.The biggest difference with Fan Bizhuang is that both of them are not the starters of the best team, but as substitutes, they are listed at the end of the list.

In fact, in the entire history of Villarreal, there is only one player who has entered the starting list of the best team of the month, and that is Riquelme at his peak. It is reasonable to win such an honor as a classical midfielder.

Of course, Fan Bizhuang is now added. After the ban was lifted, his performance in the entire September game can be described as shining like the sun, with goals or assists in every game. In the four league games, Villarreal won all of them, plus they were selected as the best player on the spot for three consecutive games. Nothing wrong with it.

This is a great honor. The teammates and coaches all sent warm congratulations to Fan Bizhuang, and the training ground of the submarine became the most lively place in the next few days. The city's reporters surrounded the place with water. The former wanted to get close to Fan Bizhuang, "one of the best of the month", and it was best to get an autograph and a group photo, while the latter's purpose was simpler and more direct. , Countless media want to get first-hand information about this fast-rising talent star, and it is best to be able to conduct exclusive interviews and reports on him.

Fan Bizhuang also smiled happily when he was selected as the best team of the month in La Liga. At first, he didn't feel much about it. After Lina called to congratulate him and told him that the selection would bring him a lot of fame and attention, he was happy. He had just set foot in the professional league not long ago, and what he needed most was influence and attention. These two things are invisible and intangible, but they can bring him substantial benefits.

And in the next two days, he really felt the benefits brought to him by this selection. Countless reporters wanted to interview him, and some business company representatives rushed to find him and wanted to talk to him. He collaborates on commercials.

These all represent the money coming in. Of course, although Fan Bizhuang likes money, he also has his own principles. He did not agree rashly, but declined politely, saying that the advertising endorsement is all up to him. Brokers are in charge.

He kicked the ball to Molina, believing that Molina will select the most suitable merchants.

He handed over the advertising matters to Molina, and he himself accepted the invitation of a football interview program at the suggestion of Mr. Ruben to record a TV program.
