Chapter 352 Volume [-] Red Forest Captain Armband

Tang En did not dare to underestimate Villarreal, even though this team could only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Spanish Football League before, and had no reputation.But Twain knew how strong Villarreal was this season.

The 05-06 season was the most glorious season for Spain's "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal. Starting from the Champions League qualifiers, they defeated Everton, the fourth in the Premier League, and then began the surprising Champions League Dark Horse Journey.In the end, they eliminated the Celtics all the way, and Rome, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.Just lost to Arsene Wenger's Arsenal in the semi-finals, and regrettably stopped 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. big.

Riquelme didn't find any credence under Louis van Gaal and Rijkaard at Barcelona, ​​but he found that core feeling at the El Estadio (Villarreal's home).Villarreal has established him as the core, and the whole team's tactics revolve around him. The team's offensive rhythm is controlled by him alone, and his movements can be fast or slow.

Nottingham Forest had already suffered from him in the UEFA Cup last season, and Riquelme was listed as a key target in this game.Of course, it was George Wood who was going to defend him.

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

He doesn't care what Riquelme's status is in world football, or what his status is in the world's top team Argentina.He only knew one thing: he had lost to this man, and now he was going to win it back.

Of course, as the head coach, Twain is not only thinking about Riquelme, he is very clear that the most important thing about Villarreal's astonishing results this season is not Riquelme In the middle of the midfield, it was Diego Forlan (Forlan) who was attacking the front line, but an Argentine, Sorin, who was ambushing behind Riquelme.

The active running, steals and assists of the Argentine captain on the field are the driving force behind the continued sailing of the submarine.

If Fran and Figueroa are the submarine's torpedo launchers and Riquelme is the sub's main control room, Sorin is the yellow submarine's engine.

Like Sorin, the Brazilian midfielder Marcos Senna is also escorting Riquelme. Although this gentleman is Brazilian, he has no hope of being selected for the national team in Brazil, where there are many masters.But by virtue of his outstanding performance in La Liga, he has attracted the favor of Spanish coach Camacho. At the end of this year, Senna will obtain Spanish nationality. It is said that Camacho intends to call this Spanish Brazilian into the Spanish national team.Senna can play multiple positions, not only as a midfielder, but also as a full-back, which is a useful supplement to Spain's defense.

Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini's Villarreal is a team that not only has first-class stars, but also emphasizes the overall and tenacious combat effectiveness.

Such opponents are not easy to deal with.So it's no surprise that Everton fell into their hands.

This is what Tang En remembered happened during this same period.Now, here, at the city stadium, Dunn would not want history to develop according to his memory.

Seize the time before the game, Tang En reviewed their tactics for the whole team in the locker room, how to contain Riquelme's performance, how to cut off Thorin's approach, and how to prevent Senna from supporting Riquel Mei, how to make Fran feel helpless...

These tactics have been implemented in their usual training, but Twain still has to repeat them before the game.He was under a lot of pressure in this game... The club has spent so much energy and money, and the fans have high hopes for the Forest team's new season. If the first game fails, Tang En really doesn't know what to do How to face the faces in the stands after the game.

After revisiting all the tactics and making everyone clear what they should do, Dunn took out a pair of captain's armbands from his pocket.

The armband has not been worn since Albertini was injured.It doesn't matter whether you wear the captain's armband or not during training, but now it's an official game, how can there be no captain on the field?

He scanned the locker room. In terms of age, experience, and convention, Van der Sar might be the best candidate.But... Tang En remembered Evan's hope, so he waved: "George, come here."

Wood stood up from the corner and stepped forward.

Dunn raised the captain's armband, intending to put it on for Wood.Wood dodged reflexively, which caused a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Tang En glared at the group of boys, then grabbed Wood's left arm, put the captain's armband on without any explanation, and then slapped Wood's arm forcefully: "From now on, when Demi is not around, You are the captain."

Of course Wood also knows what the captain's armband represents and what the leader of the first team does.He looked at Tang En in surprise.

"What are you staring at me for?" Tang En looked back, "From now on, you have to work harder than before, and you don't just bury your head and work hard on your own, there are many things you need to consider, learn slowly, kid .”

After lecturing Wood, Tang En turned his head and asked the players in the locker room: "George Wood is the team's second captain. During Demi's injury, he acted as the captain temporarily. Do you have any opinions?"

Not everyone is interested in being captain.Some people may think that wearing the captain's armband looks awesome and has status, but what most people see may only be endless responsibilities, and they can never relax their demands on themselves. In a word - tired!

In addition, George Wood's role as the captain has already been confirmed by the boss. Everyone has always seen the boss's love for Wood. At this time, some people stand up and say "I have an opinion", isn't this courting death?

Therefore, it was very much in line with Tang En's expectations, and no one had any objections to this decision.

"The rest..." Tang En heard footsteps coming from outside the locker room. It should be the visiting team Villarreal getting ready to play. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, "There are still 3 minutes. We are not in a hurry. Go out, tell them to wait, everyone do something casually, in short, don't sit like this now, you look at me, I look at you."

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
