Chapter 249 The First Step of Inspection

Latest website address: In the Barcelona head coach’s office.

Valverde stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Yi Le and others chasing and fighting in the training ground. He couldn't help but smile and said: "In half a month, they have a good understanding."

The assistant coach on the side also nodded and said happily: "Yes, we didn't expect that the running-in training of the new tactics would go so smoothly. At the beginning, we chose to reorganize around Yi. This was the right decision."

"The merger of De Jong and Yi is very important. De Jong's physical confrontation ability has always been a drawback, but the arrival of Yi has liberated him. The opponent has to invest a lot of experience in Yi, which reduces the pressure on De Jong."

Valverde squinted his eyes and said: "Actually, I really want to try three technical midfielders."

The assistant coach couldn't help laughing and said: "Man, I think it's better to forget it. With three technical midfielders, this tactic has too little fault tolerance. As soon as the opponent rushes, we will be scattered."

Valverde raised his eyebrows and said: "But we have Yi!"

Hearing this, the assistant coach was silent for a moment. He suddenly felt that it was not impossible, but...

"You trust Yi too blindly, don't put too much pressure on him."

"Why? Unlike others, Yi Ke has a strong ability to withstand pressure, and pressure is an opportunity for him to explode."

"But this is gambling. We can't expect Yi to be in an explosive state in every game."

"Yes, this is also the reason for my hesitation. We can trust Yi, but in other positions, we must also deploy certain tactical transformation capabilities."

"How are you going to use Anthony?"

"Simone has told me how to use him."

"Shadow Edge?"

"It's not just a shadow striker, that's Atletico Madrid's style of play. They don't have a midfield as strong as ours."

The assistant coach took out a cigarette and lit it, slowly blew out a smoke ring, and said: "How many years can we use the Suarez-Yi-Pique central axis?"

Hearing this, Valverde was silent for a while and said: "Let's talk about it during the summer transfer period."

.......

The winter break is coming to an end soon.

Players are also returning one after another.

The first thing the players do when they come back is a physical examination.

Valverde is a very responsible coach and he strictly enforces the weight of his players.

For those players who eat and drink excessively during the holidays, they are directly thrown to the physical coach for rigorous training.

Fortunately, Barcelona's players are relatively self-disciplined and do not have too many weight problems.

Even Busquets, Pique and others have consciously conducted personal training, resulting in very good physical data.

This was a surprise for Valverde.

He didn't expect that a reorganization would arouse the competitive spirit of the old players. They did not give up, but tried their best to stay in the team.

Valverde doesn't mind giving them opportunities, but of course the problem is that these people need to know how to cherish them.

After the team members returned, they did not conduct a joint training session.

Valverde directly pulled the players to the tactics room and had a day's tactics class.

He needs his players to digest the new tactics quickly.

A one-day tactics lesson allowed most players to understand how the new tactics worked.

In the subsequent training, I played pretty well.

But for Barcelona, ​​this is just behind closed doors, and the next training match is the focus of testing their new tactics.

On January 2, Barcelona ushered in its first training match opponent.

From Portuguese Super League Sporting CP.

Valverde is very responsible. In the first training match, he made it public.

This brought a large number of media to come to watch the game.

They are very curious about Barcelona's new tactics after reorganization.

In this game, Valverde still chose the 4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba.

Midfielder: Rakitic, Yile, De Jong.

Forwards: Griezmann, Suarez, Messi.

Such a formation is really terrifying.

Especially in the midfield.

Messi, Suarez, and Griezmann on the front line can be called a luxurious striker.

Yile is also in the midfield, and his strength on paper is soaring.

In the backcourt, Umtiti rotates with Lenglet, and the two are in competition.

In Valverde's vision, both Lenglet and Umtiti may replace Pique as the new defense center.

He is willing to give these two young people a chance, and will only consider signings if it really doesn't work out.

Under the spotlight, this Barcelona test match has officially begun.

Everyone played very hard, especially Griezmann, who had a strong desire to perform and was particularly active in running. This formed a good connection point between him and Yile.

Griezmann often retreats, but does not squeeze Yi Le's space for movement. The two have developed a tacit understanding in half a month.

The midfielder played smoothly. After the whole team began to serve Yile, they radiated Yile's rhythm and control ability to the limit.

Although Sporting CP's midfielders worked hard, they just couldn't grab the ball and could only stare at Barcelona's smooth passing.

The advantage in the midfield was established, and Yile also began to radiate the advantage to the frontcourt.

Especially the two wings, Griezmann and Messi are powerful weapons to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Now Sporting CP's defense is one big and two big.

On the one hand, they have to guard against Yi Le's pervasive passing.

On the other hand, they also have to keep an eye on Griezmann and Messi.

But Barcelona only needed one mistake.

In the 27th minute, when Yile suddenly moved forward to meet the retracement ball, he inserted an oblique through ball towards the right wing.

And there, Griezmann had already started running wildly.

This is a one-shot with a heart of gold.

Griezmann's running ability came into play, and after cooperating with Yile, the impact of the entire forward line was increased by several levels.

It's a pity that Griezmann was a little anxious and failed to calmly handle the timing of the shot.

He took an extra step and missed the best opportunity to shoot, causing Barcelona to fail to score.

Griezmann punched the ground in annoyance, he was very dissatisfied with his performance.

After getting up, Griezmann gave Yile a thumbs up and praised Yile for his pass.

Yi Le also ran over to respond to him, not to make him too anxious and to slow down.

Both of them are actively communicating, which is a good phenomenon.

Off the field, Valverde also nodded slowly. Although he did not score a goal, Barcelona had achieved the effect he wanted.

Next, it's time for Yile's cannon to come into play.

Sure enough, after Yile established an advantage in the midfield, he directly turned into a ball server, providing a steady stream of cannonballs for the frontcourt.

In just ten minutes, Barcelona had eleven shots.

An average of one shot per minute.

Unfortunately, despite many shots, no goals were scored.

After the winter break, their goals seemed to have dropped a lot.

But Yi Le is not worried about this problem. He is confident that with his own feeding, these shooters will find the feeling of scoring goals sooner or later.
