At this time, Mark ran into the penalty area, and Torres' pass was also passed to Mark at the right time. Villarreal's right back Venta was also pushing Mark tightly at this time, and he directly held up Mark with his body.

This should be a helpless move, because if Mark really passed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Wenta knew very well about Mark's speed advantages.

Villarreal's goalkeeper Reina also attacked at this time. Because Mark was blocked, Reina easily took off the football.

"Referee, he fouled, this should be a penalty kick." Mark protested loudly at the referee.

Because Venta did make a foul, if he didn't stop Mark, Mark would be confident that he would get football before Reina and would have a great chance to score the football into the net.

However, Wenta's foul also destroyed Mark's desire to score a goal, so Mark was naturally not willing to give up, so he wanted to seek justice from the referee.

Moreover, the location where Venta and Mark had physical contact just now was very sensitive. The position was just inside the penalty area line. If the referee awarded Atletico Madrid a foul.

It should definitely be a penalty kick. If Atletico Madrid can get a penalty kick in less than ten minutes of the game, it will be very beneficial to the format of their game.

"The referee this time should be in trouble. It depends on what kind of penalty he will make this time, and see if the referee will execute the notarized penalty," said the commentator of Atletico Madrid in front of the microphone.

Everyone's attention was noticed at this time, and everyone was looking forward to what kind of punishment the referee would make.

"Beep..." The referee's whistle sounded. Although his whistle came slowly this time, he finally remembered it. It depends on what judgment he would make next.

At this time, Atletico Madrid players were ready to celebrate because in their opinion, this time it would be a penalty kick.

Mark was also very happy at this time, and he did think that this would be a penalty kick.

Wenta also lowered his head at this time. He was waiting for the referee's penalty. He felt that the referee would definitely give Atletico Madrid a penalty. He felt that this time it was his fault.

Wenta felt that if he could leave the penalty area at the place where he just fouled, it would be a chance for a free kick, and he felt a little regretful.

And his foul action will put the Villarreal team in a very passive situation, which is something Venta doesn't want to see.

"Mark is a good job, if there is a penalty kick, we can score in advance." Cooper was also very excited on the sidelines and thought in his heart.

Pellegrini was also very depressed. In his thoughts, he did not expect Atletico Madrid to play in this game, and the referee should be awarded a penalty for Atletico Madrid.

"Referee, this should be a free kick." Villarreal players were all around the referee explaining, trying to use their explanation to affect the referee's penalty.

"Free kick!!" The referee's hand pointed directly at the scene, and then gave Atletico Madrid a chance to have a free kick.

"Oh...!!!" A huge shout broke out in the Love Song Stadium, followed by a thunderous applause. This was the fans of Villarreal showing goodwill to the referee. They felt that the referee had made a notarized penalty, so they used applause to express their support to the referee.

"What, free kick!! Great" Wenta could hardly believe his eyes. He didn't expect the referee to forgive his mistakes so magnanimously, and actually gave them a free kick opportunity instead of a penalty.

"Referee, are you blind?" Mark shouted to the referee.

Mark felt that the referee was really a problem. It was an obvious penalty kick. At that time, the place where Mark fell was already about two steps in the penalty area.

If this is considered a free kick, the referee should really be wearing a pair of contact lenses. Mark even suspected that the referee was a fan of Villarreal, otherwise it would be impossible to make such an idiotic move.

"Please pay attention to your words and deeds, otherwise I will show a yellow card." The referee gave a verbal warning to Mark.

"Go. Mom." This is Mark's response.

The referee was really ruthless. He directly showed a yellow card to warn Mark. In fact, the referee could show a red card, but if he really sent Mark off the court, the game would not be within his control.

"Referee, it was a real opportunity to score a penalty just now...Referee, referee." Atletico Madrid players also surrounded the referee to explain. They could see clearly just now, why did the penalty kick that they had already obtained turned into a free kick?

However, the referee's penalty has been made and cannot be changed at all. Even if the referee's penalty is wrong, it cannot be changed on the court. This is the rule.

"Tsk, I don't believe how long you can last with the care of the referee?" Mark thought fiercely in his heart before standing before football.

The entire Villarreal feels like a survivor. Their players line up with a wall of people under the command of goalkeeper Reina, while Atletico Madrid players are also scrambling to play their positions among the walls.

The players on both sides were a little angry at this time, especially the Atletico Madrid players. Because the referee just blew off their penalty kick and awarded a free kick, this made many Atletico Madrid players feel a little resentful.

And their resentment cannot be released on the referee, but for the young Atletico Madrid players, their resentment also needs to be released, so the players of Villarreal naturally became the targets for Atletico Madrid players to release their resentment.

Soon, the players of both sides kept pushing and shoving in the penalty area, and the referee also paused the game many times to mediate, requiring the players of both sides to pay attention to their actions.

Soon both players stood up, and then Mark stood before the football waiting for the referee to signal the kickoff. Mark had been standing before the football for a long time. Because the referee had not given him a cheque gesture for a long time, Mark could not take a free kick either.

Reina was also on guard at this time. He knew the strength of Mark's free kick, so this time Reina commanded the Villarreal players and stood in place.

Then he bent down and prepared to defend Mark's shot this time.

After Mark signaled the referee, he started running and then shot. This time, Mark chose the upper right corner, and the football flew towards the goal with a strong arc.

Mark's shot was very tricky. Although Reina judged the position of the football correctly, he was unable to keep up with the speed of the football.

It is obvious that the angle of Mark's shot this time made Renner unable to defend. The angle of the football Mark drove was too tricky, which was almost the blind spot of the goalkeeper.

So this time, Mark's shot was very difficult for a player like Reina to defend.

With a very dull sound, the football had an intimate contact with the goal post, and Mark's shot hit the crossbar.

Villarreal also escaped. Although Mark did not score this time, it also shocked Renner's cold sweat.

Reiner originally thought Mark's shot this time would go in, but he had given up hope, but he didn't expect the crossbar of the goal to save him.

He also saved Villarreal. After the football flew out of the world, Reina hugged the crossbar and kissed it. Reina wanted to thank his good helper, that is, the goal post.

"Renner is very interesting. He held the crossbar of the goal and kissed it. Such a move gives people a lot of ideas," said the commentator of Atletico Madrid jokingly.

However, no matter how much terrifying Mark's shot brings people, after all, football still has not been able to score, and the score between the two teams is still zero to zero.

Both sides soon began to make a transition in offense and defense, and the players on both sides were also very desperate. At this time, the two sides saw who could score the first goal. As long as one side could coach a new goal, the situation in the game could change accordingly.

Villarreal attacked, and Riquelme took the ball in the midfield. Soon Riquelme dribbled the ball and broke through to the midfield. Then he passed the ball to Solin on the left, and Solin dribbled the ball and ran quickly towards the baseline.

The physical condition of this small player Thorin is really, however, his physical condition is still very similar to that of Robert Carlos. If Thorin's body can be stronger and faster, he can really compete with Robert Carlos.

But it is obvious that Thorin does not have the super strong ability to do solo in Robert Carlos. He relies more on the help of his teammates in the offense.

Soon, the two sides began to have a close contact, which should be the first close contact between Velasco and Thorin.

Velasco is tall and has good skills. His defensive ability is quite tough. His previous successful defense can show his strength.

However, this time Solin was not prepared to have too much entanglement with Velasco. After he saw that Velasco had already stood at the position, he passed the football to Riquelme in the middle.

This is also the tactical guiding ideology of Villarreal, that is, when the players have no choice, pass the football to Riquelme and let Riquelme attack at will.

Riquelme will have a way to deal with football that players find difficult, which is also the trust that Pellegrini and Villarreal players have in Riquelme.

After Riquelme received the pass from Thorin, he found that Mascherano had come up. After Riquelme received the football, Mascherano had already settled.

This time should be the fourth single-match between the two in this game. During the previous three single-matches, Mascherano had the advantage in the scene.

This time, Mascherano obviously wanted to break the football again, and Corsa was playing joint defense when Mascherano changed.

Their joint defense was very successful before, and whether it was Mascherano and Lusin, or the combination of Mascherano and Corsa, they could successfully limit Riquelme's offense.

And this time is naturally no exception, so Mascherano was very confident. He thought in his heart that Riquelme was just like this, and Corsa also had the same idea as Mascherano.

Although Corsa also played for Mallorca in Corsa last season, Riquelme had just joined Villarreal for one season, and his cooperation with his teammates was not tacit.

So it is impossible to reflect all of Riquelme's strength, but after a season of running-in, Riquelme is a little different from last season. This time he can be said to have super personal abilities.

Having formed a certain understanding with the teammates of the entire team, Riquelme can make very easy tactical cooperation with the players of Villarreal.

So this season, Riquelme should be the real Riquelme. It was such a Riquelme who dribbled the ball and made a breakthrough directly to the front. Mascherano and Corsa were preparing to close the ball to lock Riquelme up.

Then he cut off the football under Riquelme's feet, but Riquelme was too confident. After seeing the defensive movements of the two people, he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he directly used his excellent skills to continuously cross the football line and then broke through the past between the two people.

You should know that these two midfielders are the last defensive players in the middle of Atletico Madrid. Riquelme broke through these two players, and Atletico Madrid lost the defensive barrier in the middle of the penalty area.

After Mark saw two people breaking through, he quickly rushed out of the penalty area. Mark was preparing to defend Riquelme's long-range shot. Mark knew that Riquelme's long-range shot was super strong.

If he could easily shoot in the middle of the penalty area, the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper might not be able to stop his football.

You should know that Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper is not Franco, but Martin, a new goalkeeper. He does not perform as well as Franco, so Mark will never let Riquelme shoot.

However, before Mark rushed to Riquelme, Mark found that Riquelme had fallen. Mark saw Corsa hooking Riquelme with her feet behind Riquelme. This time Villarreal team got a free kick opportunity, and this time the free kick opportunity was very good.

If Rikelme could grasp it well, there should be no problem with the score. Although Mark felt very regretful, there was nothing he could do, because everything had already happened.

Even if Mark wants to blame the other party, it will be endless, so Mark retreated back into the penalty area and began to prepare to line up the wall.

This is the second chance for Villarreal's free kick in this game, and the previous free kick did not pose a threat to Atletico Madrid.

But Mark felt that this free kick was very dangerous because Mark had no choice but to do with a direct free kick, and Mark also didn't like this feeling very much.

This is equivalent to letting the opponent slaughter, and Mark still hopes to help the team defend through his own performance, but it is obvious that this time it will not work.

Riquelme quickly stood before football. This time, Riquelme stood alone before football. Just like Mark before, it can be seen that he is going to shoot directly, and he doesn't need teammates to help him cover, which also reflects Riquelme's strong self-confidence.

"I don't know if I'm learning from Mark. Before, Mark often stood alone before a free kick and then scored by himself." The commentator saw the situation on the court and said with a smile.

Riquelme's situation is really similar to Mark before. Does he really have the confidence to take this free kick?

In fact, Mark's situation is different from that of Rikelme. Mark's reason is that he can only shoot but not pass the ball, so he often shoots directly.

But Riquelme is different. Riquelme can pass the ball, and he can also shoot directly. Moreover, Riquelme's fallen leaves are quite utilitarian and can be compared with those top free kick masters.

I don't really want to regard it as a filial son. It is actually a helplessness of a genius. It was a painful time between Bielsa and Barsile. Even though both Pekleman and Barsile tied the captain's armband to his arms, 64% of the people in Argentina's largest public poll believed that Roman's withdrawal was beneficial to the progress of the Argentine national team, you must admit that he made a very reasonable choice for himself, even if not completely correct.

Of course, public opinion is so easy to betray public opinion itself. At that time, so many people scolded Bielsa for abandoning Riquelme, and even cursed Peckelman for replacing him in the World Cup. They are still not cold, but now they are beginning to abandon their former favorites. It doesn't matter, Jesus was still smashed into blood by the stones of the people in Jerusalem.

The world has less and less tolerance for geniuses, just like the French team's intolerance against Zidane, just like Real Madrid's intolerance against Ronaldo, Argentina cannot stop Brazil, and before Argentina is about to challenge Spain, the Argentina team, which will still use the ancient "nuclear tactics", is the most serious one. When the ball is at his feet, time will stagnate for three seconds. He should have been born in the 1980s or even earlier Kempes era, so he can only withdraw.

It seems that all Argentina geniuses are not so beautiful to withdraw. Canigia, Ortega, Galardo, Batti, Maradona, and now Riquelme, the most silent midfield passer of all time, never talks to others, he passes one good goal after another in his inner monologue, and gives up himself in his inner monologue. He is the submarine in his inner, never floats out of the sea, and is depressed under the cold blue water.

Without Zidane, without Riquelme, only Ronaldinho, or Pirlo who is not similar, but they are not classicism masters in the traditional sense. They are stronger, faster and more efficient. This story is like a big discussion in 1996 when Rolls-Royce discussed whether to partially give up handcrafts and use computer production. The final conclusion is:

Of course, Mercedes-Benz, Landhu and BMW are more accurate, but after Rolls-Royce is computerized, do we still call it Rolls-Royce?

Riquelme did not give birth to the wrong country, but Riquelme was born in the wrong era. He became famous for Argentina, which advocated art, and could not become a real superstar because of this heavy metal era.
