This goal meant more than just a goal; it represented that Fabio Capello's coaching career had entered the fast lane, and now no one could stop him from becoming the best coach in Europe!
But before that, he needed just a little bit of help.
Nobody knew how much Ancelotti had spent to hire that Wizard.
The last time, the Bone Dragon Master only charged 82.5, so Capello felt that money shouldn't be a problem.
After the game restarted, the Yellow Submarine maintained their attacking stance.
Pellegrini's tactics were never negative; he emphasized ball control, but what he demanded was effective possession.
Last season, Villarreal only had a possession rate of 52%, but while their forwards maintained a high degree of freedom, they were constantly moving; Pellegrini believed that possession was for creating opportunities, not just for the sake of holding the ball.
When Riquelme took the ball, the Yellow Submarine's full-backs began to move up aggressively.
