Chapter 172 Opening of La Liga

After the last training match, Barcelona also returned to the training base to prepare for the new season.

On August 15th, the first round of La Liga began, and the opening match was Barcelona VS Athletic Bilbao.

A week before the start of the game, Barcelona fans broke out with great enthusiasm.

The two seasons of malaise made them unable to tolerate the team's inaction, and this season, after their strong signing of Yi Le, the midfield has undergone qualitative changes.

Therefore, the expectations for the new season are a little bit more.

When the major media analyzed the list of European strong teams, the name of Barcelona also appeared frequently.

With Messi and Yi Le, what kind of energy this Barcelona team will burst out is something that everyone is curious about.

The media don't believe that there will be problems with Yi Le's performance. After all, he has maintained a high level of performance for several consecutive seasons.

His maintenance of state made everyone look and move.

But no one can learn and is willing to learn. After all, it is something that is obtained through training again and again, even during vacations.

They can't do what Yi Le does, training around football 365 days a year.

 …

In the 2018/2019 season, the first round of La Liga kicked off.

On this day, hundreds of thousands gathered at Camp Nou, and they couldn't wait to watch Yi Le's La Liga debut.

This game attracted great attention. Not only the media from all over the world, but also Barcelona's top management came to the VIP to watch the game and supervise the game.

Even analysts from other teams came here, obviously they are very curious about this Barcelona team.

Athletic Bilbao is not a too difficult opponent.

This is a team that has been in the middle of La Liga all year round. It ranked eighth in La Liga last season and was just kicked out of the Europa League qualification zone.

The 'Basque Lions' have the same feat as Real Madrid and Barcelona in that they have been in La Liga since 1928 and have never been kicked out of the top flight.

They have won 8 La Liga titles in total.

2 Copa del Rey, but it's a bit of a decline now.

Today's La Liga is still polarized, and there is still a strong Atletico Madrid ready to open Pandora's box.

Therefore, many people are very concerned about this game.

However, the game disappointed them.

how to say.

Dull!

Barcelona completely crushed the opponent in the midfield. Yi Le stood on the side of the court and delivered shells one by one.

In the words of the Nou Camp live commentary.

"Suarez almost lives in the opponent's penalty area. He only needs to lift his foot to shoot, and Yi has done everything else for him."

Yi Le performed very well in this game and kicked out the expectations of Barcelona fans.

The entire 90 minutes were suppressed, and the aggressive style of play made the Camp Nou resound from the beginning to the end.

At the end of the game, Barcelona won 2:0.

In this game, Suarez and Messi scored a goal each, and Yi Le received two assists.

 …

That night, "Catalan Football News" praised Yi Le.

"In the first round of La Liga in the past, Yi's performance can be described as perfect. He did everything we imagined, and even better. Those through balls directly tore Bilbao. We no longer need to see Messi make breakthroughs in embarrassment, because we have sharper weapons!"

Seeing such a report, Barcelona fans are very helpful. They like to be praised by Yi Le, which makes them feel very proud.

However, there are also some nasty media who sing against them.

For example, Marca pointed out a problem.

"Yi's performance is really good, but there are still loopholes in Barcelona. Yi and Messi are not very compatible. In the whole game, there were only 7 interactions between them, and 4 of them ended in failure. This means that the dual-core system advocated by Barcelona is not fully established. Therefore, the problem facing Valverde now is to choose Yi Le or Messi."

For such a comment, many people were silent.

They only think about winning, but subconsciously want to ignore some details.

Yi Le plays the core, and Messi also plays the core.

But the two cores seem to be incompatible, and there is a certain conflict, which is the worst problem.

Even if it has not been revealed yet, if you encounter a strong team, such as the national derby, this incompatibility will ruin the game.

The entire football world is discussing this matter, and some people are starting to eat melons with great interest.

This is the conundrum for Valverde.

So, choose, Yile or Messi!

Whether to support tradition or decide to reform...

Valverde felt like his head was going to explode.

He dared not touch either of them.

Messi does not need to explain the significance of Barcelona, ​​and Yi Le is the hope of Barcelona.

Even from Valverde's point of view, he is more inclined to support Yi Le, but will Messi agree?

And will this cause conflicts?

All these made him feel helpless. In the end, his authority is not enough. If Guardiola is still in charge of this team, he may dare to make judgments, but he dare not.

Valverde is thinking about procrastinating now, anyway, he will not answer similar questions.

However, even if it drags on, he still has to solve this problem!

Thinking of this, Valverde clutched his head, feeling his head hurt even more.

At this moment, the door of the head coach's office was pushed open, and a coach ran over with a happy face and said with a smile; "The problem is solved!"

"?" Valverde looked up suspiciously.

The assistant coach handed over the phone, which contained Messi's Twitter.

I saw Messi wrote on Twitter; "I can tell you clearly that the core of Barcelona at this stage is Yi. A year ago, I made a promise. He prepared a gift, which is my gift. In fact, I don’t need too much honor, all I want is victory, and Yi can let me see the hope of victory, so he is the core!”

"As for the future games, I will adjust my playing style and try not to occupy Yi's airborne. He played very well. I think you all understand this very well!"

"Finally, I hope you don't provoke the relationship between us. This season, all I want is victory, every victory!"

Messi took the initiative to concede, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also surprised many people.

That's the end of the matter?

This may be the happiest solution. After all, Messi personally announced the core position of Yi Le, which is the best result.

The media who were planning to feature a big book before shut up. They felt a little helpless and aggrieved at the same time. Let’s forget Messi’s side. Why is Yi, a young and energetic guy, so tolerant?

Shouldn't you come out and say something and fight for your interests?

In the villa, Yi Le sat on the treadmill and asked Messi with a blank face; "What did the Marca newspaper say? What happened?"

Messi: "..."
