PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friends "Haoyue Liusu" and "Tianyuan Hanqi" for their rewards.

Although Fiorentina's offensive has improved significantly compared to the previous game, Villarreal is naturally not a vegetarian. After seeing Ronaldo being refrigerated, the power of the frontcourt trident has not only not weakened, but has become more sharp and difficult to guard against. Pellegrini realized that he must strengthen his defense. Otherwise, he would sooner or later be the first to break the goal by Fiorentina.

Therefore, under the command of this Chilean engineer, although Villarreal's players were still very active in running on the court, they consciously slowed down their advancement speed during attack, trying to reduce the chance of being intercepted by Fiorentina when passing the ball, and thus being hit by Purple Lily for a quick counterattack.

Pellegrini's adjustment can be said to be quite effective. After Villarreal transferred the game to the position and strengthened the success rate of passing and receiving, although their offense slowed down compared to before, they also made fewer mistakes in the midfield and frontcourt, reducing the chances of Fiorentina's counterattack to attack their own defense line through counterattacks. In this way, Villarreal's defensive pressure was greatly reduced, and the defense line became stable.

Seeing his teammates performing like this, Riquelme couldn't help but frown, and felt a little dissatisfied with Pellegrini's fingers. In the midfielder's perception, the coach's main task is to deploy the team's tactical and personnel before the game. After the game begins, how the team should operate on the court should be within his responsibilities. Therefore, in Riquelme's eyes, Pellegrini's current actions are undoubtedly interfering with the power in his hands!

Most of the football geniuses who came out of Argentina were quite unique in character. Needless to say, the early Pasarella and Maradona were familiar with their "glorious deeds". Redondo also rejected the other party's recruitment because Bilardo's football philosophy was inconsistent with him, and ended up missing his first World Cup trip; "Son of the Wind" Canigia and "Little Donkey" Ortega are also talented on the court, causing trouble off the court, and all kinds of chaos are emerging one after another, and they can be compiled into an encyclopedia.

Riquelme, who is also talented in football, is naturally no exception. Although this midfielder does have football skills and command talent that countless fans are crazy about, the introverted and sensitive part of his personality always affects Riquelme's choices and his career direction.

For example, now, perhaps in Pellegrini's opinion, this is just a normal on-the-spot adjustment, but in Riquelme's eyes, the authority of his commanding the team was violated by the head coach, which is something he absolutely cannot bear!

Due to Riquelme's huge popularity in Argentina, even the famous coach Bianchi, who was named "Governor" in Boca youth, adopted a tolerant strategy towards some of Riquelme's actions (such as occasionally being late and leaving early, not participating in team training). Therefore, when Riquelme landed in Europe with the halo of Maradona's successor, but was sent to Villarreal by Barcelona just one season, the weaknesses in Argentine's personality were not well corrected, but instead became increasingly fragile and sensitive because of his failure experience at Barcelona.

Logically speaking, Riquelme, who has worked with Pellegrini for the past two seasons, would not have been dissatisfied with the opponent's unintentional mistake. However, because Riquelme had almost no outstanding performance in the first round, the reality of not doing much in the defense of Fiorentine players in this game, and his own personality flaws, put a lot of mental pressure and psychological burden on Riquelme. Therefore, when he saw Pellegrini crossing him to direct the team, Riquelme, who was anxious but was introverted and difficult to vent, suddenly pointed his gun at his coach.

Although Riquelme was very dissatisfied with Pellegrini's "overpower" behavior, the Argentine still distinguished the priorities. After all, now is a key battle for Villarreal to compete for the finals of the Champions League, and it is not a time for conflict with his own people.

If Riquelme really had no chance to distinguish the occasion and just got into a bad mood in the game, causing Villarreal to be eliminated in the semi-finals and was picked up by Fiorentina, then even if the Argentinian has been the darling of the love song stadium for the past three years, he would never escape the fate of being criticized by fans and media after the game.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, Riquelme will put this dissatisfaction in mind for the time being and prepare to discuss this matter with Pellegrini after the game is over. However, what Riquelme did not expect was that this semi-final would become another turning point in his career from prosperity to decline. Pellegrini, who has always worked happily with him, will feel resentful to him after this. The crack in this game gradually expanded and deepened over time, and eventually became the fuse for the pair of masters and apprentices to turn their backs and fall into enemies. This is a later story, so I won't mention it here for now.

In the 41st minute of the game, Riquelme dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Marklele, and Fiorentina launched a quick counterattack. Milito, who had withdrawn from the penalty area, sent a straight pass forward after receiving Pirlo's pass, and Jorgensen, who cut in from the right, made a textbook-like straight pass and diagonally inserted, and instantly tore open Villarreal's left defense line!

After getting the ball, Jorgensen did not choose to continue to drive the ball and cut inside and shoot directly. Instead, he took two steps and attracted the attention of Villarreal's defensive players, and suddenly knocked the ball across the middle of the penalty area - there, Milito, who had just sent a wonderful pass, had already hit the ball!

Although Alvarez and Venta's desperate interference prevented Milito from hitting the ball as soon as possible, the latter took advantage of the situation and knocked the ball through Alvarez's legs, handed it to Vincent, who was ambushed at the back of the goal, and was in an unmarked state!

Faced with such a good opportunity, the Spanish winger naturally had no reason to waste. With a calm shot with his right foot, Vincent shot the ball into the near corner of the goal, helping Fiorentina gain the lead in the battle for qualifications in the Champions League final!
