, who was at full level of single defense, made Messi and Ronaldo cry

The next day, Jimenez announced the starting lineup at the pre-match meeting.

There were not many surprises. He arranged the 442 formation that Deportivo has played many times this season.

Du Jie and Salman are still on the front line.

The midfielder Xiao Braid is not there, and the right winger is Salmon.

The left winger is still Xiao Braid's compatriot, Luisinho.

The attacking midfielder is Farina, who is getting more and more eloquent, and the single defensive midfielder is the diligent Otki.

The backcourt has four players, Karane at left back, and Lobo and Insua in the middle.

Su Wei is on the right back in this game, and the goalkeeper is still Lux starting.

Su Wei was not too surprised about the starting lineup. The only thing that surprised him was that Carrasco did not start.

Based on his understanding of Carrasco, neither Luisinho nor Salmon could be compared with Carrasco in terms of their abilities.

Su Wei felt that the only explanation for Jimenez not sending him to start was that he wanted the Belgian to adapt first.

After announcing the starting lineup, the entire Laco team set out from the base and flew to Villarreal one day in advance.

The distance between the two places was 1,000 kilometers. They set out in the afternoon and arrived at their destination in the evening, without even missing dinner.

…

No one talked that night. At 8 o'clock the next night, the match between Laco and Villarreal started at the Ceramic Stadium.

Villarreal's home stadium is not big and can only accommodate 20,000 people.

After playing in La Liga for so many years, they have never thought about expanding the stadium.

Because Villarreal, where Villarreal is located, can only be regarded as a small town.

There are only more than 50,000 men, women, young and old in the town, and they have never filled the stadium with 20,000 people.

But today the situation is a bit special, and many Laco fans have come.

Some of these fans are die-hard fans from Laco, and some are from surrounding cities.

Most of them are Longguo people. Without exception, they wear No. 22 jerseys and occupy a large area in the audience, which looks very conspicuous.

Carrasco, who was sitting on the bench at this time, also discovered this spectacle.

He didn't expect to see so many yellow-skinned fans in the European arena, which surprised him a little.

He didn't talk much, but he couldn't help asking Pablo next to him.

"Captain, does Laco have so many Asian fans?"

Pablo smiled and said, "They are all Su fans."

Carrasco looked carefully and found that these fans were indeed wearing No. 22 jerseys.

And he found that many Spanish Laco fans also wore No. 22 jerseys.

"That Longguo Su, is he so popular?"

Carrasco couldn't help but look at the stadium, his eyes locked on Su Wei.

At this moment, the first half has started, and Villarreal has a strong desire to win this game.

They also arranged a 442 formation today, and staged a tit-for-tat with Laco!

After the game started, the Laco midfielders wanted to compete with Villarreal.

However, passing and controlling is the characteristic of this Villarreal team. After seven or eight minutes of game, Laco midfield quickly lost.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, Villarreal gradually controlled the rhythm on the field, and Laco was forced to fall into defense.

In the tenth minute of the first half, Villarreal kicked off from the backcourt. After a series of silky transmissions, the football smoothly came to the feet of left winger Cheryshev.

The next second, he cut inside to the middle, ready to cooperate with his teammates on the front line.

Seeing this, Su Wei couldn't let him succeed, and immediately blocked him.

Before Cheryshev could respond, he had already kicked and instantly took possession of the ball.

That wasn't the end. After getting the ball, he glanced forward and kicked it directly. The ball flew across half of the field to Salman in the frontcourt.

At this moment, Salman had his back to the goal, and there was a Villarreal defender behind him.

Relying on his strong body, he held his opponent hard, rubbed his head back, and headed the ball to Du Jie's feet who was advancing on the side.

Du Jie took the ball and waded forward seven or eight meters, and then kicked a long shot outside the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.

"Fuck! It was just a little bit short!" Laco fans sighed.

On the bench, Carrasco was also stunned.

He muttered, "No wonder that Su is so popular. The steal just now was already beautiful, but compared to the steal, this pass was even more outrageous. It was a long distance of fifty or sixty meters, and he was able to do it with perfect accuracy.

This footwork is better than Beckham's!"

...

Su Wei's performance was still outstanding. Through his precise guidance, Laco's offense was once very successful.

Unfortunately, football is not a one-man sport. After several chances, they failed to score, and Villarreal began to counterattack.

They played the pass and control well, and Laco's 442 formation was not just pure defense.

Du Jie, Salman, and Farina, the three of them were still very weak in defense.

Otki, the single defensive midfielder, was under great defensive pressure, and soon there was a problem in the middle of Laco.

In the 20th minute of the first half, Billy Villarreal played a wonderful cooperation in the middle, and the small forward Uche received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area and made a low shot, and the score on the field instantly became 1:0

In the next 20 minutes, Villarreal took the initiative on the field and got many good shooting opportunities.

On the other hand, Laco was under great defensive pressure and its offense was also hindered.

The midfield was unable to compete, and Farina's role was infinitely compressed.

Luisinho on the left defended very hard, but was intercepted several times on the offensive end.

Facing Villarreal's layers of offensive, Su Wei's defensive pressure was also relatively high, The number of attacks gradually decreased.

Throughout the first half, Laco did not play well.

In a blink of an eye, the first half was over, and the two sides exchanged venues in the second half.

The scene was similar to the previous one. Seeing the possibility of losing today, Su Wei frowned involuntarily.

Fortunately, Jimenez discovered the problem in time and made personnel adjustments.

Around the 65th minute of the second half, Jimenez replaced Luisinho and Carrasco came on the field!

As soon as Carrasco came on, he immediately ran to the left, but his appearance did not have an immediate effect.

Even three or four minutes later, The ball was not touched at all.

The reason is simple. He has only been in the team for a few days and does not like to communicate with his teammates. Laco players do not trust him much and almost no one is willing to pass the ball to him.

In a blink of an eye, the game has reached about 70 minutes.

At the defensive midfielder position, Otki is controlling the ball.

On the left side, Carrasco is sprinting forward without the ball.

However, Otki ignored him and passed the ball to Salmon on the right.

Salmon's offensive ability is limited. After he got the ball, he couldn't even get through the center line.

Su Wei looked anxious from behind and rushed up!
