Chapter 192 Captain's armband (Part 1)

Don't dare to underestimate Villarreal, although this team was only ranked in the middle and lower reaches in the Spanish Football League in the past and was completely unfamous. But Don't knows how strong Villarreal is this season.

The 2005-06 season was the most glorious season for Spain's "yellow submarine" Villarreal. Starting from the Champions League qualifiers, they defeated the fourth-place Everton in the Premier League, and then began the surprising journey of the Champions League dark horse.

In the end, they eliminated the Celtics and Roma all the way, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. Arsenal, who lost to Wenger in the semi-finals, unfortunately ended in the semi-finals.

Villarreal's lineup this season is not the strongest. In fact, Villarreal may be stronger after one season, but the strength of this team can indeed be regarded as the strongest in the club's history.

Riquelme did not get any trust under Barcelona's van Gaal and Rijkaard, but he found this core feeling at the Love Song Stadium (Villareal's home court).

Villarreal set him as the core, and the whole team's tactics revolve around him. The team's offensive rhythm is controlled by him alone, and as he moves, they are either fast or slow.

Nottingham Forest had already suffered in the League Cup last season, and Riquelme was listed as a key target in this game. Of course, the person who defended him was still George; Wood.

Wood seemed a little excited about this task and was eager to try it out. He was looking forward to today since he knew that the opponent of the Forest Team's Champions League qualifier was Villarreal.

No matter what position Riquelme has in world football or what position he has in the world's strong team Argentina. He only knows one thing: he once lost to this person, but now he wants to win back.

Of course, as the head coach, Donn is considering more than just a Riquelme problem, he knows very well that Villarreal can achieve such a surprising result this season.

The most important thing is not that Riquelme is threading needles in the midfield, but also Diego; Forlan attacks the city and the village on the front line, but an Argentinian lying behind Riquelme - Sorin.

The Argentine captain ran actively on the court, steals and assists were the driving force that allowed the submarine to continue sailing.

If Fran and Figueroa are the torpedo launchers of the submarine and Riquelme is the main control room of the submarine, then Thorin is the engine of the yellow submarine.

Like Solin, Brazilian midfielder Marcos; Senna (marcos_senna), although this man is a Brazilian, in Brazil, he has no hope of being selected for the national team.

However, his outstanding performance in La Liga has attracted the favor of Spanish head coach Camacho. At the end of this year, Senna will gain Spanish nationality. It is said that Camacho intends to summon the Spanish-born Brazilian to the Spanish national team.

Senna can play multiple positions, not only as a midfielder, but also as a full-back, which is a beneficial addition to Spain's defense.

Chilean coach Pellegrini's Villarreal is a team with both first-class stars and strong adjustments.

Such an opponent is not easy to deal with. So it is not surprising that Everton fell into their hands.

This is what happened in Tang En's memory at this same time. Now, here, at the city court, Tang En would not want history to develop according to his memory.

Hurry up the time before the game, Don Ever reviewed their tactics for the players in the locker room.

How to curb Riquelme's performance, how to cut off Thorin's route to go forward, how to make Senna unable to support Riquelme, how to make Fran alone...

These tactics have been implemented in their usual training. But Tang En still has to repeat them before the game.

He is under a lot of pressure in this game... The club has spent so much energy and money, and fans have high hopes for the Forests' new season. If they fail in the first game, then Tang En really doesn't know how to face the faces in the stands after the game.

After reliving all the tactics and letting everyone know what they should do again, Tang En took out a captain's armband from his clothes pocket.

Since Albertini was injured, no one has worn this armband. It doesn’t matter whether the captain’s armband is worn or not in training, but now it is a formal competition. How can there be no captain on the field?

He glanced at the locker room, and from age and experience, and from conventionality, Van der Sar may be the best choice. But...Don remembered Evan's hope, so he waved: "George, come here."

Wood stood up from the corner and walked up.

Tang En raised the captain's armband and wanted to put it on Wood. But Wood reflexively hid for a while. This caused a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Tang En glared at the boys. Then he pulled Wood's left arm and put the captain's armband on without saying a word. Then he slapped Wood's arm hard: "From now on, when Demi is away, you are the captain."

Of course, Wood also knew what the captain's armband represented and what the captain's commander did. He looked at Tang En in surprise.

"What are you doing when you stare at me?" Tang En looked back, "From now on, you have to work harder than before, and not just bury your head and work hard on your own. There are many things you need to consider. Learn slowly, boy."

After teaching Wood a lesson, Donn turned his head and asked the players in the locker room: "George; Wood is the second captain of the team. Demi was temporarily acting during his injury. Do you have any opinions?"

Not everyone is interested in being a captain.

Some people may think that wearing the captain's armband looks awesome and have status, but most people may only see endless responsibilities and can never relax their requirements. In short, one word - tired!

In addition, George Wood is the leader of the team. The boss has confirmed the matter. Everyone has always seen the love between Wood. At this time, someone stood up and said, "I have an opinion." Isn't this asking for death?

So, it was very consistent with Tang En's expectations, and no one had any objections to this decision.

"The rest..." Tang En heard a sound of footsteps outside the locker room. It should be the visiting team Villarreal was about to appear. He raised his hand to look at his watch, "There are three minutes left.

We don't rush to go out, let them wait, everyone do anything casually, in short, don't sit like this now, look at me, I'll see you."

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
