Chapter 53: The Game Ends
******
Ranieri removed a center forward and replaced it with a defensive midfielder, which seemed to be in a defensive state, but in fact it was not, after the professional defensive defender Albiol came on the field, he directly released two central midfielders Albelda and Baraja, who were stronger in attack than defense, and then pulled Elo to the forward position, behind which stood two players who delivered cannonballs, and next to him was a capable David. Silva, the tacit cooperation between the two in the front court also gave Villarreal's backline an infinite headache!
Albiol's arrival officially marked the start of Valencia's general attack, and after liberating Baraja and Albelda, the two had more to devote to attacking.
It seems that Ranieri, who has gradually developed ambitions, is a little dissatisfied with a small one-goal victory.
At first, Pellegrini thought that Ranieri's substitution was to strengthen the defense and consolidate the fruits of victory, so he waved his hand and signaled the players to spare no effort to participate in the attack. However, just a minute later, Pellegrini's heart was beating out, and if goalkeeper Reina hadn't made a decisive move and kicked the ball off the sideline early, Iello would have won a one-on-one goal directly against the goalkeeper.
In order to control the scene and not let the score widen, Pellegrini was extremely reluctant to replace a striker with a midfielder, and this substitution also indicated that he was ready to bet the rest of the game on the battle for midfield.
So the next time entered the period of 'fighting' in the midfield, and it was normal for people to turn over on their backs, so the movements of both sides became bigger and bigger, and the smell of gunpowder became heavier and heavier.
In the eighty-second minute of the game, Albiol, who had just been replaced not long ago, did not close his feet when he tackled in the middle because of his overexcitement, and the guide Zì Senna rolled on the turf for four or five laps before he lost his strength, fortunately he was not tackled.
This time also announced that the two sides had been silent for a long time, black players have always been short-tempered representatives, so after Senna got up, he immediately rushed to Albiol, who was more than half a head taller than him, and angrily pushed his head into the latter's chest.
Albiol was hit hard in the chest and fell backwards naturally.
The consequences can be imagined.
Valencia's biggest temper was the Argentine Ayala and the Spaniard Navarro, who saw that their teammates were violated, and immediately became angry, and hurriedly ran forward to reason with Senna.
At the same time, pushing and shoving is a normal action.
Villarreal's side saw that Ayala and Navarro, who had Valencia, made moves against Senna, and they were afraid that Senna would be bullied, so they hurriedly chased forward.
It's normal for several people to push each other.
At one point, the two sides were on the verge of spiraling out of control.
There are impulsive and sure, Valencia's captains Baraja and Albelda, and Villarreal's captains Álvarez and Riquelme, hurriedly pulled their respective teammates who were rising rapidly because of male hormones.
Instead of stepping forward to push and shove theories, Elo motioned to the head coach off the field and asked the team doctor to come up and check Albiol.
"Beep beep !!"
At this moment, the referee was like a god, and the whistle in his mouth blew very loudly and urgently! rushed to the scene of the incident with lightning speed, first pulled away the parties Senna, so as not to cause them to break out into a bigger conflict, and then said loudly to the few people who Valencia wanted to come forward to theorize: "Go back!" Give me all back to your place and I'll take care of it!! If you don't make any more trouble, the cards in my pocket are not for the show! The voice changed, "You're here to play football, not to have a conflict!" Get back!! ”
After the referee finished speaking, he turned around, took out the ruby God of War card from his butt pocket with a 'swish', and flashed it towards Senna, who was obviously violent.
oooooooooooooooooo――
The fans in the stands are happy now, the opponent is one goal behind and has been sent off, and it should not be a problem to win the first game in the last six rounds!
Villarreal's captain Alvarez quit, although he knew that Senna's action was violent, a standard red card action, but as the captain, he had to stand up for his teammates, walk forward and put his arms together on his chest, there was a kind of intercession for Senna, but the referee had a clear attitude and a firm position! He didn't mean to take back the red card, so when the referee was about to show him a yellow card, he consciously retreated.
When Alvarez retreated, he saw that Senna had already begun to walk down the field, and hurriedly ran up to comfort the latter before returning to his position.
The Valencia players saw the referee say this, and it was not easy to say anything.
However, fortunately, Albiol only breathed a sigh of relief, and it was no big deal.
The game was interrupted for nearly three minutes, and it is estimated that the referee will make up for it in the second half injury time.
Bang Bang !!
When Albiol stood up and clapped towards the stands, the fans in the stands applauded as they saw a warrior.
"woooo - Senna's behavior is irrational, although he fell hard, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal, it's too impulsive! The referee was right to show him a red card, and it is estimated that after the game, the referee will add this scene when he writes the post-match report, and it will not be as simple as a ban on a league game. He Weitong played back the slow-motion footage of the TV broadcast footage, slowly listening to the audience's explanation.
"How dare this damn black man do anything to our great bat legion? I must have broken my head just now. "Of course, this will not be transmitted to the ears of the audience, because it is said silently by Hyde himself in his heart, and at the same time his mouth does not fall," Marco. Senna's foul is too irrational and hurts others and is not good for himself! The red card is what he deserves!! ”
Villarreal was sent off by one goal behind, and played against eleven men with ten, which was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and was sent off by a very strong defensive midfielder, which directly led to the Valencia Tong Guò midfield being too simple, and the holes that Senna was sent off were infinitely magnified in an instant.
Fortunately, Reina was more concentrated, reacted very quickly, and attacked very decisively, otherwise the score would have been widened a long time ago, and Pellegrini also knew that the general trend was gone, so he hurriedly replaced Riquelme with a defensive midfielder, ready to maintain the current score until the end, so as not to expand the score again.
Of course, Villarreal didn't give up completely, Diego. Fran still waited for an opportunity near the center circle to make a one-hit kill. However, without midfield support, he was as helpless as a lost lamb, let alone equalised.
Villarreal was focused on defence, and Valencia had a one-goal lead and there was no need to take too many risks, so the score did not change.
2:1
This is the final score.
woooooooooooooooooooooooooo――
At the moment when the referee blew the end of the game, the Mestalla stands were boiling! I haven't won in the league for a month and a half!!
So the fans in the stands cried with joy.
Valencia's players huddled together, exchanging words of encouragement, sometimes high-fives, sometimes hugging.
At the same time, singing is also essential.
Surrounded by two or three, they danced happily, and at the same time did not forget to sing Valencia's team song "Hymn to Valencia"
The long-lost league win made the fans' inner restless mood feel comfortable, and the mood was not ordinarily good, so they naturally 'performed' in the stands.
******
After the game, Riquelme found Iro, who was interacting with the fans in the stands.
"Hey, can I swap jerseys?"
Iroh looked at Riquelme in front of him with an incredulous expression: "You mean to exchange jerseys with me?" ”
"Of course!" While speaking, Riquelme took off his No. 10 jersey, held it in his hand, saw the young man in front of him was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Are you going to let me hold my jersey all the time like this?" ”
"Uh. Right away! Iello hurriedly took off his sweat-soaked jersey and handed it to Riquelme.
"Come on! Lad!! After Riquelme got Elo's shirt, he touched the palm of Elo's hand and walked straight into the players' tunnel.
Leave Iroh standing on the turf, looking at the number 10 jersey in a daze.
*******
At the post-match press conference, the game played well, and Eiro, who scored twice, naturally became the focus of reporters' inquiries and attention.
They didn't focus on the outcome of the game, as if it had nothing to do with them, they were only focused on the young man.
These three consecutive games are phenomenal performances, not at all like a fledgling young man, but a star who has been in football for many years.
This time, Ranieri did not bring Iello to the post-match press conference, which was another mistake.
A reporter asked: "Is this really his third professional fight?" ”
Ranieri shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression: "I'm sure and sure!" This is indeed his third professional game! ”
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh――
The reporters in the venue let out an incredible exclamation.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that a fledgling young man had scored seven goals and assisted two in the three games he was involved in.
Some first-division strikers don't necessarily score as many as seven goals in a season.
Therefore, reporters are constantly surrounding Iroh's questions.
Reporter of the newspaper As: "For such a good young man, do you think the team can keep it? ”
Ranieri was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this question, but quickly reacted and replied lightly: "Mr. Reporter, it's too early for you to ask this question, isn't it?" ”
Ranieri's remark drew a burst of laughter from many reporters.
It's really early days, and there are not a few people like Iroh who have played super well in the first few games of his career, because after all, when he has just stepped into the professional arena, opponents have limited understanding of his technical characteristics, and if opponents start to study him and understand his characteristics and take a little precautions, they will not be so impressive.
That's why every day there is a rising star in world football.
Thinking of this, many reporters came back to their senses.
Indeed, it's too early to ask this question, and the most important thing in the world is a fleeting meteor, so the focus is back on this game.
The victory in this game swept away the haze of the team's winless streak since the winter break, and Ranieri was in a much better mood, as long as the reporter did not ask too many questions or the fans' tactical secrets, he would answer all questions.
