Coach, I want to play football!

League No.30 round, also at the end of March.

Villarreal's opponent in this round is Elche, one of the three newly promoted teams in La Liga this season.At the same time, it was also the opponent who competed with Villarreal for the La Liga title last season.

Elche was simply envious and jealous when he saw Villarreal!

Everyone is newly promoted. Last season, they were still at the same level. They fought for the championship of the Second Division, and finally you were lucky enough to counterattack.

But why this season in La Liga, the gap between everyone suddenly became out of control? !

We are struggling to avoid relegation, you are fighting for the Champions League qualification next season, work harder, you are going to fight for the La Liga championship!

Why!

Elche's current situation is not very good, although not in the relegation zone.But there are only two points away from the relegation zone. If you don't pay attention to a game, you will fall into the relegation zone.

So now they are still fighting for relegation. They and Almeria, who were promoted to La Liga together, are difficult brothers. Almeria is currently only one point ahead of the relegation zone!

The three newly-promoted horses are the best of Villarreal's results, and the remaining two are similar to the predictions made by the outside world before the game, and they have to fight for relegation.

Maybe it was learned from Getafe, or maybe it was taught a lesson by Real Betis before.

In this game against Elche, which is not strong, Marcelino did not use a wide range of substitute players, but only rotated a few positions.

Ye Qi returned to the starting position, Marcelino thought it was better to be on the safe side.

However, Marcelino said before the game that if the process of the game goes well, he can change himself to rest in advance.

Ye Qi doesn't have much opinion on this, after all, his attendance rate this season is indeed not low.

In comparison, for my age group, including coming off the bench and being replaced midway, nearly [-] league appearances are already very high.

Bailey also got the chance to start. This kid has been in a good state and attitude both in games and training recently, so the head coach decided to "reward" this kid again!

In the next round against Atletico Madrid, it will probably be difficult for him to appear in the squad.

Ye Qi was also very cautious about this match, his thoughts were similar to Marcelino's.

Some time ago, he also thought that Osasuna could not afford big waves, but they staged a huge storm.Not long ago, facing Real Betis, who was last in the league, Ye Qi thought that he should be stable now, right?

As a result, he was frantically slapped in the face by the bottom one Real Betis.

Ye Qi touched his cheek, he couldn't be slapped in the face like crazy by others today.

"Don't mess with me, I'm afraid of myself when I'm serious!"

After a header was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper, Ye Qi muttered to himself.

"What?" The opponent's goalkeeper looked confused.

Isn't this a mentally handicapped person?

Not long after the opponent's goalkeeper had this idea, in the No. 12 minute Ye Qi hit Oliver's corner kick and scored!

"Fuck! This guy must have said those words to himself on purpose, so as to disturb my mind and distract me!" Elche goalkeeper kicked the football away angrily.

For a team like Villarreal, once they take the lead, the game will be much easier to play.

Now Elche is only one step away from the relegation zone, so it is basically a precarious thing for them to stay in La Liga next season.

Now that they are falling behind, there is no way but to increase the intensity of their offense.

Escriva, who used to be the assistant coach of Atlético de Madrid, stood on the sidelines and signaled the team not to worry, the game has just started, why worry!

It should be in the last 10 minutes of the game to start exerting strength, it is too early now.And the most important thing now is not to equalize the score, but to ensure that the ball will not continue to be conceded!

Escriva is the meritorious coach who promoted Elche to La Liga. If it is normal, the players must obey him.

But the situation is different now, Elche's relegation situation in the league is precarious.Although Elche's management has not yet changed coaches, rumors are flying all over the sky, saying that Escriva's coaching position is already on fire.

In this case, the meritorious coach's control over the team is gradually weakening, and there have been cases where individual players are not particularly convinced by him.

Strictly speaking, the world of football is also a kind of "the strong eat the weak". If you lead the team to achieve good results, everyone will naturally obey you.And you didn't do well in leading the team... Who cares about you.

Not only the head coach, but the players as well.

If you perform well, other teammates will admire you, but if you perform poorly...... who cares who you are!

So Escriva wants the team to hang on first, but the players are more inclined to attack.

At the beginning, the players of Elche were a little more stable. As the game progressed, they played more and more openly.

If it was Villarreal last season, Elche would naturally have no problem doing so.After all, the gap between the two sides was not obvious at that time, but this season is different.

"Hold on... I mean hold on! Hold on!" Escriva was anxious on the sidelines.

If this continues, sooner or later, the opponent will be second. The counterattack ability of the yellow submarine is obvious to all.And being behind by one goal is a completely different concept than being behind by two goals!

Soon, Escriva's concerns became reality.

No. In the 305th minute, Thilos passed the ball to Ye Qi after advancing in the middle.As soon as Ye Qi got the ball, the opponent's defensive players rushed forward in a swarm.

Fuck, will you bully me?

Ye Qi saw that Aquino on the other side was in an open position, and immediately passed the ball in front of the opponent.

Following Aquino over the opponent's full-back, after taking the ball, he showed his advantage of dribbling and breaking through, and soon hit the opponent's ribs in the penalty area.

At this time, Ye Qi immediately ran, pulled Elche's central defender away, followed Aquino's right bottom, and then passed the inverted triangle back to the middle.

Ye Qi, who was running, opened up some space, and the ball was passed to the back!

Tilos, who followed up, got the ball near the penalty spot, and then kicked and hit the goal directly!

This time Elche's goalkeeper made a contribution. He saved Tilos' shot, but because Tilos' shot gave the football a certain rotation, he didn't dare to hug it directly, but hit the ball out!

Ye Qi was stunned, he didn't expect that Tilos failed to score the goal when the penalty spot was unguarded, and soon he was going to make up the shot that was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

But Santos was closer to the ball than him, so the Mexican striker stretched his foot and kicked the ball directly behind the post without stopping the ball!

Elche's players complained to the referee that Santos' ball was offside first.However, the referee did not call offside, but ruled that the goal was valid.

Two to zero, before the first half ended, the Yellow Submarine took a two-goal lead.

Escriva was very angry, but he knew it was useless, and the next thing he needed to think about was how to equalize the score in the next time!

It's enough to equalize the score, but what about overtaking?

Escriva is a pragmatic head coach, and he no longer expects such a fantasy.
