Coach, I want to play football!

"All in all, our results in the warm-up match were not satisfactory."

"I thought that after more than a month of training, everyone would be able to get in place quickly. But it turns out that I still think too simply."

"The new season is about to start, I hope everyone can get into shape quickly!"

Marcelino said to the players.

For more than a month, Villarreal arranged a total of 5 warm-up matches.

其中球队和法甲球队蒙彼利埃打成了2:2，跟着1:2输给了沙尔克04。

As a player who has just been promoted to La Liga this season, and the main lineup has been replaced by a nearly average yellow submarine, this result may be a bit unsatisfactory, but it is actually not bad.

After all, the warm-up match, the results are not important.The process is the most important thing, and the Yellow Submarine and the two teams played back and forth on the scene, and they were not at a disadvantage.

They are strong teams in Ligue [-] and Bundesliga respectively, and they belong to the middle and upper reaches of their respective leagues. Villarreal can play [-]-[-] with these two teams, so it is still okay.

But immediately afterwards, the team was swept 3:0 by the veteran Serie A giants Inter Milan, and after going to Portugal, they were defeated 1:0 by Rio Ave.

If it weren't for the last warm-up match, where they defeated Cadiz from the low-level league 2-0 at home, then the Yellow Submarine would have almost faced an embarrassing situation of not winning this season's warm-up match.

Of course, the opponents of these warm-up matches were carefully arranged by the head coach Marcelino.

The first four games were all powerful teams, especially Inter Milan and Schalke 04. Even if you look at the whole of Europe, the strength of these two teams is obvious to all.

Playing against a strong team will naturally expose one's weaknesses in advance of the season, so that one can adjust in time.

But there is a problem here, that is, in the confrontation with strong teams, the yellow submarine may not win!

Although the warm-up match does not care about the results, if the pre-season games cannot be won, it will be a huge damage to the players' self-confidence.

Players who are not confident are prone to self-denial, especially when the team has just been promoted from West Second Division. Such confidence is very important.

That's why Marcelino specially arranged a low-level league team at the end to give the players a lot of confidence.

Of course, Marcelino didn't know that Cadiz looks like a weak team now. After all, they are still playing in the Second Division B, which is one level lower than the Second Division.

But after many years, Cadiz will become the nemesis of the giants, picking the giants to kill them, and there are quite a few giants who fall at the feet of Cadiz.

Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t show it for the time being.

818 is a relatively auspicious day for Chinese people like Ye Qi. On this day, the 2013-2014 season of La Liga officially kicked off.

In Villarreal's first official game back in La Liga, they will face their old rival Almeria!

That's right, it's the Almeria from West Second Division last season.They ranked third in La Liga last season, and then broke out in the promotion play-offs, and got the last place to be promoted to La Liga.

Alcorcon, where Christian and Jose played, ranked fifth and also qualified for the promotion play-offs, but eventually fell to the semi-finals of the play-offs and ultimately missed La Liga this season.

This is a good rivalry for Villarreal fans because everyone knows each other better.Moreover, last season, the last game played by the yellow submarine was against Almeria.

And the first game of the new season is them again, does this count as a beginning and an end?

Before the start of the game, Ye Qi and his teammates were warming up. At this moment, he didn't know that the camera was already on him.

"This is Ye Qi! The only Chinese player currently playing in the five major leagues." He Wei, the commentator of CCTV Sports, said excitedly.

"Last season, Ye Qi played [-] games in West Division Two, scored [-] goals and provided [-] assists, and won the Best Newcomer Award in West Division Two at that time! That's why the local media in Spain called him the Huaxia version. Diego Forlan!" said his partner Xu Yang.

"In the new season, I hope Ye Qi can make persistent efforts and play steadily in La Liga..."

Today is the first match day of La Liga in the new season, and the match between Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is tomorrow, so this match has become the focus of domestic media broadcast and reports.

It's already three o'clock in the morning China time, but there are still many China fans waiting in front of the TV to watch Ye Qi's La Liga debut.

This season Marcelino did not sign up for the center position. In his opinion, Ye Qi has already met his requirements for the main center.

At the very least, his ability to head the ball and hold the ball with his back has improved a lot. In addition, there are Uche and the young Tilos on the bench, so Marcelino will position Ye Qi as the main center forward in the new season.

This game is naturally the first game, and the front trident is also the combination of Ye Qi, Pereira and Dos Santos that he built this season.

Senna retired, and the core of the delay became Bruno. His long pass is still very good.

Ye Qi stood in the middle circle, waiting for the referee's whistle.

beep!

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!" He Wei was very excited.

Ye Qi passed the ball to Carney beside him, and then ran towards the opponent's backcourt!Carney didn't take the ball, but gave it to Bruno behind him.

Bruno stopped the ball, looked at the situation in the frontcourt, and then kicked the ball into the frontcourt with a big kick before the opponent's striker came up.

Ye Qi glanced back at Bruno's pass during his running position, followed by judging the landing point, and then took off to compete for the top!

Almeria's central defender jumped almost at the same time as Ye Qi, but they didn't beat each other when they competed for the top.

"I haven't seen you for more than two months. This guy's body is already so strong?" Almeria's central defender complained in his heart.

He had a confrontation with Ye Qi in the last round of La Liga last season. At that time, he squeezed Ye Qi, but now...he couldn't squeeze at all!

In mid-air, Ye Qi almost knocked the opponent away with his body, and after hitting the ball, he headed it to the side!

Pereira, who followed up from the side, used his excellent dribbling ability to pass the opponent's defender, and then took a look at the situation of Ye Qi in the middle from the ribs, and then sent the ball out.

Ye Qi and Pereira have been working together for half a season, and in the first half of the season, it can be said that the two have a very tacit understanding.

"Huh? This ball is not for me?"

Just meeting Pereira's eyes, Ye Qi understood that the other side's pass was not for him.

"There is a chance... Let's see how Ye Qi handles the ball!" He Wei was excited again.
