Chapter 357: Regional Derby
Love Song Stadium, this is not a huge stadium, but this stadium has a huge stadium
This is a romantic name. This stadium is located five kilometers along the Mediterranean coast. The reason why the stadium is not large is because its geographical location can only be regarded as a small city rather than a big city.
It is also an amazing thing for a small town to have a famous La Liga powerhouse like Villarreal.
They have overturned giant warships like Real Madrid and Barcelona several times in history, and are called "yellow submarines" by fans.
The Bat Legion visits and will fight the yellow submarine.
The head coach of Villarreal has been Chilean engineer Pellegrini. When he arrived at Villarreal, Villarreal's record had been strengthened, but he successfully activated Barcelona abandoned Riquelme and Manchester United parallel player Diego Fran, and successfully led a relatively ordinary team in La Liga to become a famous European powerhouse.
Last season, Pellegrini has become the head coach of Real Madrid and this season, he has become the head coach of Malaga.
But now, Villarreal, who has left Pellegrini, is still a strong team and has extremely strong strength.
At the Love Song Stadium, the two teams are ready to go, and Villarreal is also very prepared for this game.
Before the game, major media also made a lot of inspiration to exaggerate the Valencia derby.
Players from both sides entered the court, Villarreal's starting goalkeeper was Diego Lopez, and the defense was Gonzalo Rodriguez, Angel Lopez, Machena, and Capdevilla.
In terms of midfield, Marcos Senna, Bruno, Kani and Cazorla's configuration.
On the front line, Neilma and Giuseppe Rossi partnered.
In terms of Valencia, the formation is a bit conservative.
Emery did not send too many offensive players, but had more ideas to stabilize defense.
It seems that he is still quite afraid of Villarreal.
Villarreal's team includes Capdevila, Senna and Cazorla, all international players of the Spanish national team, and Capdevila is even the main member of the national team.
Other players, including Carni, Rossi, etc., are outstanding, and Villarreal plays at home, so this also makes Emery make a conservative formation arrangement.
Moreover, in this game, Valencia did have many players who were unable to play due to injuries or suspension.
Moreover, Valencia's three visits to the Love Song Stadium have all failed, which is why Emery's Villarreal is a little afraid.
Goalkeeper Cesar was also injured, and Miguel Moya made a substitute.
On the back line, Mathieu was absent due to injury, Emery sent Navarro, Ricardo Costa, Miguel, Maduro and Bruno Salto five-guard formations.
The midfielders are Tino Costa, Hernandez, Joaquin and Xu Qi.
On the front line is Aduris.
At the beginning of the game, Valencia began to be at a disadvantage. After all, Valencia's midfielder number was obviously smaller in this game.
Fortunately, the defense is more active, which also makes Villarreal unable to make any good attacks.
Within twenty minutes of the game, only Carney's long shot from thirty yards slightly threatened the goal guarded by Miguel Moya.
At the beginning of this game, Moya was very steady as the goalkeeper. Cazorla passed the ball, and Capdvilla's powerful shot from the left side of the penalty area was confiscated by Moya again.
Just as Villarreal still seemed to have an advantage on the field, Valencia finally found a good opportunity.
Joaquin made a cross from the right bottom line. Aduris at the front originally wanted to touch the ball with his heel to the goal net, but the ball was blocked by Diego Lopez. Then Xu Qi grabbed the second point outside the penalty area and got a good shot.
However, Diego Lopez got up very quickly, and Xu Qi's powerful shot was actually hit by Diego Lopez again.
However, Aduris scored a free shot in front of the goal, and Valencia led 1-0.
The game was less than thirty minutes long.
When the team scored first, Emery felt relieved. He was actually not very confident about this conservative formation, and there were too many injuries in the team, so this was a last resort. It is indeed good news to be the first to score the goal now.
But the good news just came, and the bad news came again.
The team's defensive core Navarro is now injured again. He can no longer hold on after only 39 minutes.
And there were no defenders on the bench.
Helpless Emery could only send Banéga to strengthen the thickness of the midfield.
However, such a substitution has strengthened Valencia's midfield control.
Judging from the situation, the two teams are now evenly matched.
However, in such a game, no one is willing to accept the defeat, and Villarreal's offensive is still more fierce.
At the end of the first half, Valencia led by 1-0.
Xu Qi's performance is actually relatively limited, and Valencia's midfield is indeed restricted by Villarreal.
In the second half, Villarreal's offensive became even more fierce. First, Capdvilla got rid of two people on the left and made a cross. Casorla attacked the goalkeeper from a small angle in front of the goal and kicked the ball away.
Then Nealma showed his dribbling ability, and after breaking through continuously, he entered the penalty area and shot low at fifteen yards, but Moya confiscated the ball.
The team was in a position but failed to score. Villarreal's coach Juan Carlos Garrido seemed unhappy on the sidelines.
Especially when Xu Qi stole Rodriguez and got the extra boundary ball and wanted to get the extra boundary ball, he passed by Carlos Garrido. This guy deliberately kicked the ball away, which made Xu Qi have some small opinions about him.
At 61 minutes, Villarreal also suffered an injury. The team's important official Capdwella accidentally slipped and couldn't hold on because of a cross, so he was replaced by forward Ruben.
This substitution also has the idea that Carlos Garrido wants to continue to strengthen the offensive.
Withdrawing the full-back, one striker was added. This substitution was indeed very bold.
After all, Villarreal is the lagging side now, and their opponents are direct competitors in the league standings.
Carlos Garrido kept encouraging the players to attack and attack on the sidelines, hoping that Villarreal would play a tide of offensive at home.
In his opinion, Valencia is obviously a little cowardly in this game. If this still cannot defeat the stalemate in the same region, it would be inappropriate.
In the 70th minute, Cazorla passed the ball, and Neilma's powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Moya again, but Giuseppe Rossi's chance to make a shot in front of the goal was actually kicked away.
The fans on the court sighed, and Carlos Garrido kicked the Aquarius away with one kick. Today he was obviously very irritable.
Giuseppe Rossi, who missed the good goal, shook his head and sighed. With about twenty minutes left, he felt that he had to complete his self-salvation.
In 2008, he won the Olympic top scorer in the Italian Olympic team. He scored four goals, one more goal than Xu Qi at that time.
