Although Fiorentina's offensive has been greatly improved compared with the previous game, Villarreal is naturally not a vegetarian if they can defeat Juventus and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.After seeing Ronaldo being refrigerated, the power of Viola's frontcourt trident not only did not weaken, but became sharper and harder to guard against. Pellegrini realized that he must strengthen his defense.Otherwise, sooner or later, Florence will take the lead in scoring the goal.

Therefore, under the command of the Chilean engineer, although the players of Villarreal are still very active in running on the field, they consciously slow down the advancement speed of the attack in an attempt to reduce passing. When it was intercepted by Florence, the probability of being hit by Viola for a quick counterattack.

Pellegrini's adjustment can be said to be quite effective.After Villarreal turned the game into a positional attack and enhanced the success rate of passing and receiving, although their offensive has slowed down compared to before, they also made fewer mistakes in the midfield and frontcourt. Chances of Fiorentina attacking their defense by counterattacking.In this way, Villarreal's defensive pressure has been greatly reduced, and the defense has thus become more stable.

Seeing his teammates behave like this, Riquelme couldn't help frowning, feeling a little dissatisfied with Pellegrini's dictating actions.In the cognition of this midfielder, the main task of the head coach is to deploy the tactics and personnel of the team before the game. After the game starts, how the team should operate on the field should belong to his scope of responsibility. yes.Therefore, in Riquelme's eyes, Pellegrini's current actions are undoubtedly taking over the power in his hands!

Most of the football geniuses who came out of Argentina are quite maverick in character.There is no need to say much about Passarella and Maradona in the early days. I believe many people are familiar with their "glorious deeds"; Redondo also rejected the other party's recruitment because Bilardo's football philosophy did not match his own. As a result, he missed his first trip to the World Cup; "Zonda" Caniggia and "Little Donkey" Ortega are also talented on the court, troublesome off the court, and all kinds of troubles There are so many that they can be compiled into an encyclopedia.

Riquelme, who is equally talented in football, is no exception.Although the midfielder does have football skills and commanding talents that have made countless fans crazy, the introverted and sensitive part of his personality affects Riquelme's choice and his career direction all the time.

For example, now, perhaps in the eyes of Pellegrini, this is just a normal on-the-spot adjustment, but in the eyes of Riquelme, it is his authority to command the team that has been violated by the head coach. It's something he can't stand!

Due to Riquelme's huge popularity in Argentina, even the famous coach Bianchi, who has the title of "Governor" in Boca Juniors, has some actions towards Riquelme (such as occasionally being late and leaving early, not participating in the team) training) adopt an inclusive strategy.Therefore, when Riquelme landed in Europe with the halo of Maradona's successor, but was dispatched to Villarreal by Barcelona after only one season, the weakness of the Argentine's character was not greatly appreciated. Corrected it well, but became more fragile and sensitive because of the failure experience in Barcelona.

It stands to reason that Riquelme, who has worked with Pellegrini for nearly two seasons, would not have had much dissatisfaction because of this unintentional mistake of the other party.However, due to the fact that Riquelme had almost no outstanding performance in the first round of the confrontation, the reality that the Fiorentina players did not do much in this game, as well as his own character flaws, put Riquelme on his back. A lot of mental pressure and psychological burden.Therefore, when he saw Pellegrini directly directing the team over him, Riquelme, who was anxious but couldn't vent because of his introverted personality, immediately aimed his gun at his coach.

Although Riquelme was very dissatisfied with Pellegrini's "overstepping" behavior, the Argentine still had a clear understanding of priorities.After all, now is the key battle for Villarreal to qualify for the Champions League final, and it is not a suitable time to have conflicts with one's own people.

If Riquelme really doesn't care about the occasion, so he just got emotional in the game and didn't play football seriously, causing Villarreal to be out in the semi-finals and being picked up by Florence, then even if the Argentine In the past three years, he has been the darling and number one star of the Love Song Stadium, and he will definitely not escape the fate of being criticized by fans and the media after the game.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Riquelme put this dissatisfaction in his heart for the time being, and planned to discuss this matter with Pellegrini after the game.However, what Riquelme did not expect was that this semi-final would become another turning point in his career from prosperity to decline. The rift was born of grudges, and the rift formed in this game gradually widened and deepened with the passage of time, and finally became the fuse for the pair of master and apprentice to turn against each other and part ways.This is a later story, so I won't mention it here.

In the 401st minute of the game, Riquelme dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Makelele, and Fiorentina launched a quick counterattack.Milito, who withdrew from the penalty area, sent a through ball forward after receiving a pass from Pirlo, and Jorgensen, who cut diagonally from the right, made a textbook straight pass obliquely. Tear open Villarreal's left line of defense!

Jorgensen, who succeeded in countering offside, did not choose to continue dribbling the ball and directly hit the goal after getting the ball. Instead, he took two steps and attracted the attention of Villarreal's defenders and then suddenly knocked the ball across. To the middle of the penalty area - there, Milito, who just sent a wonderful pass, has already slapped him!

Although Alvarez and Venta's desperate interference prevented him from hitting the goal at the first time, the latter knocked the ball with his heel and passed the ball between Alvarez's legs. At the point of ambush behind the goal, Vincent, who is in an unmarked state!

Faced with such a good opportunity, the Spanish winger naturally has no reason to waste it.With a calm push from his right foot, Vincent fired the ball into the near corner of the goal, helping Fiorentina take the lead in the battle for qualification for the Champions League final!
