Zenit's victory in this game can be said to be well deserved! If it is a full-state Villarreal, it may pose a certain threat to Zenit in the away game, but today this submarine may need time most to get to the surface and change the air!

　　 At the press conference after the game, Pellegrini showed a slightly unwilling look in comparison with the red light on the face of the victor Ed Wocart when he was interviewed!

　　 Indeed, his team has done a good job. In cold Russia, most of the time the tactics are executed very successfully! But it was because of physical factors and the lack of thickness of the bench that led to a loophole in his own tactics at the last moment because of the players' physical fitness!

　　 "Maybe it's time to change to a bigger team!" Pellegrini thought of asking the team to reinforce at the beginning of the season and prepare for a two-line battle, but was told by the management that the team has limited funds. Although several talents were also introduced, the team still has some players transferred out, and the overall bench strength has not increased much! Balance of payments or making a little money is what the team management wants. As for increasing investment, then hehe...

Recalling the private contact that Real Madrid’s management had made with him not long ago, Pellegrini felt that perhaps after the end of this season, it was the right time for him to leave, and he should go to a higher and larger platform to show his coaching. ability……

　　 "We only lost one goal in Russia. Returning to our home court, I believe that my team can complete a reversal. It's just one goal gap. It's definitely not the end of the world!"

　　 When facing reporters asking whether Villarreal would take advantage of the situation to abandon the Europa League and concentrate on the league, Pei Gong's answer was very direct!

One goal is indeed not enough to make Pei Gong give up the European game. After all, he can only brush his presence in La Liga. For other small clubs in La Liga where there are always two mountains in front of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the European game is not just a coach. The stage to prove yourself is also a shortcut for players to show themselves and move towards a higher platform!

　　 The entire Villarreal team flew back to Spain overnight to prepare for the weekend’s La Liga game. With such fierce competition for rankings, every league is vital! The competition in the Champions League is still only a difference of 1, 2 points!

　　 But what surprised everyone at the weekend was that Pellegrini chose to take turns to rest several strikers, dispatched a half-main, half-substitute and even a starting lineup of youth team players! This is a game in La Liga. Although Racing Santander is not very strong, but you use almost half of the reserve team to play, you really look down on people!

　　 Racing Santander faced the rotation gift from the home team and naturally launched an offensive without hesitation! But as far as the result is concerned, Villarreal relied on the whole court to shrink and defend, in his home court, forcibly held the tie, and kept the 0-0 to the end!

　　 The away team Racing Santander itself is not strong enough, and it is actually a great joy to score a point!

　　 Villarreal used two league points to give a group of attacking players a rare break, and the good news is that Pires can immediately come back on the line, and his body has reached the level that can participate in the game!

"The game in the middle of next week will be difficult to handle. It will be another tough battle!" Ed Wocart and his colleagues in the coaching staff originally planned to watch the La Liga live broadcast on the weekend and study how to continue targeting Villarea. Players with physical problems! When I saw Villarreal’s horrible starter, I didn’t bother to watch the live broadcast. I knew in my heart that Pellegrini intends to fight Zenit in the second round!

　　 But isn’t it just being tough, has Zenit been scared? Edvard Carter intends to directly face off against Villarreal who needs to attack. Only with the offense can he test the true strength of his team and see if his team's tactical system can match the first-class European ball. The team is comparable!

　　 You must know that Ed Woka’s highest goal is to win the Europa League! But in addition to the Villarreal in front of him, there is also a Big Mac team that shouldn’t belong here in the knockout rounds in the not-too-distant future. Using these "mobs" to increase the experience, for later Knockouts are also extremely helpful, of course, the premise is still to advance!

　　…………

　　 Zenit, after a few days of training, also took a flight to Spain early to prepare for the second round of the match!

"At Villarreal's home field, the Love Song Stadium, the home team Villarreal has been rehabilitated after a weekend rotation in the league and is ready to play all of his strength in this game! Strive to reverse and advance!"

　　 "The visiting team Zenit, because the domestic league has not yet started, there is plenty of time to rest and prepare for this life-and-death battle!"

"Because of the recent three-line battle, the home team Villarreal was targeted by Zenit in the first round because of physical problems. In the weekend of the league, Pellegrini boldly started the rotation and relied on defense. To score a point at home, I would rather risk losing the UEFA Champions League qualification, but also let the main players guarantee the rest time, which shows how much attention is paid to this second round match!"

　　 "Judging from the starting roster of both sides before the game, both teams have adjusted their players!"

"On the home team's side, compared to the first round, the forward changed from Giuseppe Rossi to the Turkish national team's top striker Nihat Kahveci! In fact, in the league, Nihat is almost as convenient as Rossi. In the half and half of the playing time, the two scored roughly the same. They replaced Nihat, probably because Rossi was basically frozen in the last game, and replaced with another striker in this game to see if there is a better chance. !"

"And because of Pires' immediate return from injury, he replaced Mavuba, who performed well in the previous game! This makes Villarreal's two wingers in this game have strong enough breakthrough ability instead of the previous one. Like a game, the left side is limping!"

"On the visiting team's side, there are also two changes. Zilyanov was not included in the squad due to pre-match training leg discomfort, and he was replaced by Shirokov from the winter window! The same is true. A famous offensive and defensive player!"

　　 "While Miguel Danny, who started the game last game, returned to the bench in this game, "Hot Dog" Domingos got the starting qualification for this game!

"In fact, it can be seen from the last game that although Danny UU has a strong personal ability on the wing, he is still far from Domingos in the tacit cooperation with his teammates! There are many choices! Mingos comes on the court and can play better cooperation in the frontcourt!"

　　 "But Danny, who is on the bench in this game, may take advantage of the decline in his opponent's physical fitness in the second half and have a better chance to play!"

　　 "Before the game, a British media broke the news that the Premier League giant Liverpool asked Zenit about the transfer price of Yang Feng and Skrtel at the same time in the winter window!"

　　 "But both deals were clearly rejected by Mr. Ed Wocart!"

"Even if Scotter has only half a year of contract time left due to the issue of renewal negotiations, he will become a free agent in the summer, and Liverpool still has a high price of nearly 7 million pounds because of the urgent need to introduce a central defender in the winter window, but still Rejected by Zenit's management!"

　　 "This season's Europa League, or even next season's UEFA Champions League, Zenit is definitely not small!"

"We see that as the game is approaching, the entire love song stadium has turned into a yellow ocean, with a capacity of nearly 20,000 people. Today, it is destined to sit without any absences! The home team fans even played with people before the game. Wave! Villarreal's stable and outstanding results in recent years, these home team fans on the scene are definitely the happiest people!"

"Villarreal, who lost a small away goal, has no way out of this game! He will definitely show his strongest offensive strength and use his home court advantage to try to reverse the total score! Zenit has always been proud For a team that started offensively, it will definitely not be willing to defend the score and give up the initiative. I believe this game will definitely be a wonderful confrontation battle!"

　　 "The second round of the battle between the two sides will be triggered!"
