Chapter 171: Complete Victory in the Training Match

Barcelona's performance in recent seasons has been poor, with no outstanding results, and only one Copa del Rey title in two seasons. This is a debilitating fact for Barcelona.

For this reason, many people are remedial, but the effect is very small.

This year, Barcelona spent huge sums of money to introduce Yi Le in order to improve Barcelona's weak midfield. At this time, they finally felt that it was better to use what they cultivated.

Yi Le is very familiar with Barcelona's system. During training, he can always grasp every rhythm change and then give targeted blows.

At the same time, Yi Le played La Liga for the first time, but he did not show any incompatibility.

He quickly integrated into the team, and the players were happy to pass the ball to Yi Le.

Because once Yi Le takes the ball, the style of the entire team will change, which is the most obvious change.

In the past, their only task in holding the ball in midfield was to find ways to pass it to Messi.

But now it’s different. Messi doesn’t need to drop back to catch the ball. All the balls will be handled by Yi Le. Yi Le’s stable point of delivery will tell Barcelona how they should play next.

As far as the relationship within the team is concerned, Yi Le is still very attractive. Leaving aside the La Masia players, other Barcelona players also quickly accepted Yi Le.

French players such as Umtiti and Lenglet have become more friendly with Yi Le because of their frequent exchanges of language.

In these days, the changes in Barcelona are obvious.

Yi Le is like a thread, wearing the balls one by one, connecting the entire team in series.

Every player who is on the same team with Yi Le will always have a high fighting spirit. Driven by Yi Le's active running, the zone defense is also more thorough. The connection between the midfield and the midfield and the midfield is abnormal. close.

At this moment, Barcelona has truly become a team.

 …

News about the team continues to appear in front of fans through the media.

The current Barcelona fans are very keen on the changes in the team this season. With Yi Le joining, how the strength of Barcelona's midfield is the most enthusiastic topic among fans today.

at the same time,

FC Barcelona also started selling Yile's No. 21 jersey for the first time.

Due to the short construction period, they only printed 10,000 sets, which they thought would be enough, but they obviously underestimated how much fans love Yi Le.

The 10,000 pieces were sold out immediately after they started selling, and the supply even exceeded the demand, causing fans to line up to buy.

And in the most anticipated vote of the new season, Yi Le is far ahead.

Barcelona fans really like Yi Le.

Their enthusiasm made the club also start to operate against Yi Le, wanting to make Yi Le the next generation leader of Camp Nou.

This is a necessary process, after all, Messi is 32 years old.

No one knows, he can play for a few more years.

The media are also analyzing why Yi Le is so popular in Barcelona.

Soon they came to a conclusion.

There are two reasons for the atmosphere.

First person problem.

Yi Le joined Barcelona under the title of "savior". He wants to fill Barcelona's weak midfield after Harvey left.

This has always been Barcelona's heart disease, and with Yi Le's performance in other competition areas and the Champions League, many fans feel that with the addition of Yi Le, Barcelona's midfield will change its decline.

On the other hand is guilt.

The previous "misunderstanding" caused both of them to have a certain degree of complicated feelings. Although they maintained a good balance, Barcelona fans obviously wanted to do more for Yi Le and make up for it.

They are grateful that Yi Le returned to Camp Nou when they needed him most.

In fact, Yi Le can be more conservative and join the Premier League club. After all, this competition area is no stranger to Yi Le.

Moreover, the conditions that Chelsea put forward for him are too rich. If it is for money, Yi Le can choose Chelsea, but he did not do so. This is what Barcelona fans love most about Yi Le.

At the same time, judging from the news constantly revealed by the media, Yi Le's integration into the team has gone smoothly and has made obvious changes to the team.

On August 5, 2019, Barcelona played the first warm-up match of the new season. They defeated the Norwegian A team Ott 3:0.

In this training match, Valverde is still in a 4-3-3 formation.

Throughout the game, Yi Le contributed an assist with a through ball like a scalpel, Suarez scored twice, and Messi scored a goal.

The media watching the game unanimously spoke after the game.

‘In this game, Yi’s statistics are not beautiful, but if you watch this game live, you will find that your eyes cannot be separated from Yi, because the ball is always at his feet! '

Although Yi Le only had one assist in the first training match, Yi Le's performance was quite excellent for the media.

In particular, Yi Le's terrifying midfield control and wide field of vision made Ott miserable.

Barcelona played very easily. This easy performance is that Messi no longer runs around in the front and back courts. He gets an effective rest time. When necessary, he turns into an assassin and seals his throat with a sword.

It's just that Yi Le and Messi still need some running-in, and the two will always have some conflicting moves.

After all, these two are the core players in their respective teams.

If the two cores want to be compatible, more running-in is necessary.

 …

On August 8th, the second warm-up match came. The opponent was Braunschweig of the German second division. Facing the rigorous German team, Barcelona played more rigorously.

Throughout the game, the turnover rate was frighteningly low, and there was almost nothing.

The pass control is picturesque, relying on the two wings to pull smoothly, Yi Le directly presses the opponent's half ribs.

Although only 1 goal was scored in this game, anyone can see the crushing nature of this game.

Brunswick's midfield was blown out.

Yi Le once again showed his terrifying suppression and aggressive style of play.

In the past, Yi Le's style of play was criticized, and many people thought he played too aggressively.

Just like when Suarez and others were in front of Paris before, he also complained about Yi Le's style of play.

But now that Yi Le has become a teammate, he finds it really cool to play like this!

Just one word, really fragrant!

 …

On August 13th, the last warm-up match was against Willem II of the Eredivisie.

This time the opponent is slightly stronger and belongs to the Europa League team.

The media felt that Valverde wanted to see what Barcelona would do after falling behind.

It's just that it's helpless that William II was also blown up.

In the frequent physical confrontation, Yi Le made a pass and shot, which directly put an end to the game.

After the game, Valverde even regretted: "I wanted to examine the team's performance after falling behind, but I obviously underestimated our offensive ability."

After finishing speaking, he sighed a long time, his face full of depression.

This made the head coach of Willem II on the side full of doubts, and cursed in his heart: "What do you mean by NM? Do you think you are very humorous?!!"
