On the evening of January 9, 2005, Love Song Stadium.
In the eighteenth round of La Liga, Barcelona challenged Villarreal away.
Before the game, Barcelona, which has had a lot of troubles this season, once again received unfavorable news.
Belletti, who returned to Brazil during the holidays to participate in a memorial match for Ronaldinho's brother's club, was diagnosed with an injury after returning to Barcelona. Coupled with Van Bronckhorst, who was also injured, Barcelona's two
The roads are all folded.
The good news is that Sylvinho and Giuly are back from injury.
But in this game, Rijkaard only arranged Sylvinho as the left back, Giuly was still on the bench, and the teenager Iniesta replaced him as the right winger.
A surprising name appears in Barcelona's lineup, Marcos Senna!
…
Goalkeeper Valdes, the defense from left to right is Sylvinho, Marcos, Oleg and Puyol, the midfielder is Marcos Senna, Deco and Xavi are in the middle, and the front three is
Ronaldinho, Sudon and Iniesta.
When Villarreal's head coach Pellegrini stood in front of the home team's coaching bench on the sidelines, he saw Barcelona's lineup and the familiar figure in the lineup, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Others may not know Marcos Senna's strength, but as the team's head coach, he knows it clearly.
Since he took over Villarreal, Marcos Senna has always been the team's main force and core player. He and Hosico partnered as a double midfielder to maximize the activation of Riquelme in front.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the support of Senna and Hosico that Riquelme can fully unleash his talents in the midfield and dominate the game.
No one expected that Senna would test positive for drugs after the Toto Cup match against Atletico Madrid at the end of August and was suspended for two months in October, causing him to miss most of the first half of the game.
But even so, in Pellegrini's mind, Senna is still the team's first choice.
Because he knows the strength and value of this midfielder.
What makes Pellegrini feel helpless is that Barcelona, for some reason, has taken a fancy to Marcos Senna.
This is unreasonable!
The players that Barcelona is eyeing must be at least the rotation level of the wealthy teams, or the core players of the mid-to-lower teams. How could they look at an unknown player like Marcos Senna?
But the fact is that Barcelona negotiated the transfer of Riquelme, hoping to use Marcos Senna as an addition to let him transfer to Barcelona, while Villarreal was in Riquelme and Marcos Senna.
Between them, he chose Riquelme without hesitation, so the Brazilian midfielder transferred to Barcelona.
Pellegrini had nothing to do about it.
At this moment, standing in front of the home team's coach's bench at the Estadio Aventura, when he saw Marcos Senna wearing Barcelona's No. 19 jersey, he began to have an ominous premonition.
What kind of bastard poached me and recommended Marcos Senna to Barcelona?
Pellegrini hated it so much that his tooth ached.

Su Dong and Ronaldinho stood in the stadium, waiting for kick-off.
Looking back, I happened to see Marcos Senna not far behind me. He was trying to take a deep breath, as if he was trying to calm down his mood. He was probably a little nervous.
"Hey, Marcos, let me ask you a question." Su Dong shouted with a smile.
Marcos Senna raised his hand to indicate that he heard him and let him ask.
"Aren't your glasses correct?"
Su Dong wanted to ask this question for a long time, but never found the opportunity, or simply forgot to ask.
Because in private, Senna always wears a pair of black thick-framed glasses with a very literary and artistic style, which are exactly like the high myopia glasses of university professors, which makes people feel very subversive.
But on the training field, he never wears glasses, which makes people wonder whether his glasses have prescription?
You don’t wear it just to look cool, do you?
Ronaldinho, Deco and others around him all laughed and were very curious.
"Yes, Marcos, we want to ask this question too."
"It's okay, tell the truth, Marcos."
Everyone cheered and felt much more relaxed.
Marcos Senna scratched his bald head in embarrassment, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Actually, it really has no degree."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"That must be an interesting story. Tell me about it when you find a chance." Su Dong said with a faint smile.
Marcos Senna nodded slightly and said nothing more.
That is indeed a story, and I believe many people have had it.
But it's interesting to say that after being asked this question by Su Dong and being coaxed by his teammates, Marcos Senna was no longer nervous.
The laughter from the surrounding teammates was not ridicule, but a kind of ridicule and amusement.
The atmosphere in the Barcelona locker room is really good. Marcos Senna feels that he is gradually integrating into it, and his leader is Su Dong in front of him.
First he recommended him to Barcelona and then helped him integrate into the locker room. Marcos Senna looked at Su Dong in the center circle who was about to kick off, his eyes full of gratitude.
Don't worry, I won't let you down!

With referee Velasco's whistle, Barcelona took the lead.
Villarreal took advantage of their home court advantage and launched a direct attack on Barcelona.
The Yellow Submarine's playing style is relatively Latin, focusing on passing and cutting, and defensive counterattacks are not the characteristics of this team.
Many people even say that Villarreal is the best team in La Liga this season besides Barcelona.
After the opening, Barcelona was more cautious.
Firstly, Marcos Senna is new here and needs to get used to it; secondly, the defense has been reorganized, with Belletti and Van Bronckhorst on both wings injured and missing, which requires Barcelona to stabilize its defense.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The most important thing is that during the winter break, Barcelona’s stars were a little lazy, especially Brazilian players such as Ronaldinho. This caused Barcelona
My condition is not very good and needs to be adjusted through training and competition.
Soon, Villarreal got a chance to kick. Diego Forlan took the lead and hit the goal. However, the shot did not have enough force and was easily confiscated by Valdez.
Villarreal took advantage of their home court advantage and began to gain the upper hand.
But this actually gave Marcos Senna room to show his strength.
He faced Villarreal's core midfielder Riquelme in this game. After several days of training, Rijkaard already had a certain understanding of Marcos Senna's strength, so he boldly
Arrange him accordingly.
As the game started, Marcos Senna also gradually entered the state and rhythm of the game.
In the eighth minute, after Riquelme got the ball, he got rid of Marcos Senna's entanglement and tried to take a long shot.
But after the tenacious Brazilian midfielder was freed, he just entangled Riquelme and blocked his long shot.
Riquelme's long shot hit Senna's leg.
After that, Villarreal tried to launch an attack from Riquelme many times, but Marcos Senna not only focused on Riquelme, but also carried out a wide range of active running and sweeping in the midfield.
Defended Villarreal's offensive many times.
In the 26th minute, in order to avoid Marcos Senna, Riquelme even moved to the left wing and made a pass, but Senna returned directly to the penalty area and competed with Forlan for a header, forcing Uruguay to
The forward is crooked.
Just two minutes later, Diego Forlan pulled to the left again and played a one-on-one with Riquelme.
Marcos Senna was the one who was bypassed between the two, but at the moment when Riquelme passed the ball, he quickly turned around and stuck to Diego Forlan, preventing him from the edge of the penalty area at the critical moment.
He volleyed with his left foot and made a decisive shovel to shovel the ball out of the sideline, resolving a crisis.
This wonderful defense allowed Marcos Senna to win applause from Sudong and Barcelona players.
Rijkaard also kept cheering for Senna from the sidelines, indicating that he should pay attention to adjusting his position.
Due to Marcos Senna's suppression, although Riquelme got a lot of chances to get the ball, it was difficult to organize a threatening attack, which led to Villarreal's offensive being also curbed.
Barcelona's defense was barely stable, but both midfield organization and frontcourt offense were still relatively sluggish.
After changing sides in the second half, Villarreal still easily controlled the game and launched an attack.
In the 48th minute, Riquelme appeared on the left again. As soon as he got the ball, Marcos Senna approached immediately.
Riquelme knew that Marcos Senna was difficult to deal with, but he really didn't expect that this kid would be so difficult to deal with.
I had already avoided the side road, but he still followed me. I didn't know whether to live or die!
For a moment, Riquelme also became angry. After stopping the ball, he wanted to pass Marcos Senna.
Marcos Senna is not tall, a little shorter than Riquelme, but he is more flexible and moves faster.
Although he was confused by Riquelme's fake move, he quickly adjusted and took another shot.
The frequency of Riquelme's actions was really slow, so that when Marcos Senna made his second action, he was still able to grab the ball.
After the break, Marcos Senna dropped the stunned Riquelme and quickly passed the ball to Xavi.
Harvey stopped the ball and sent a direct pass to the ground.
Sudong stepped sideways near the midfield line in his own half and stopped Xavi's long pass behind Villarreal defender Pena. He started quickly and rushed past Pena as quickly as possible.
Na's defense zone.
Tonight, Su Dong's condition is indeed not very good, but when it comes to one-on-one, at critical moments, he can still use his speed to get rid of his opponent, and behind Pena, Rodriguez is left behind.
.
But what everyone didn't expect was that just after Su Dong crossed the center line, he glanced ahead and found that Reina was standing a little outside.
This goalkeeper from Barcelona's youth academy has never been very stable. Could it be that he is letting go at a critical moment?
Su Dong didn't care about this. When he saw Reina standing outside, he just crossed the center line and shot with all his strength.
