Chapter 252 League Restarts
Latest website: As the head coach who brought Yile to the top arena, Villas-Boas once said something.
"Yi's threat is not his aggressive style of play, but the way he puts the entire team together in series!"
Valverde understands this very well.
The run-in in Barcelona went so smoothly.
At the beginning, it was still a patchwork of gears. Every time it turned, it reminded me of the creaking and soreness of teeth. Every step was not done very well.
But Yile's existence is like a wheel grease or a polisher.
Continuously polishing gears of various sizes and adding lubricant to them causes the entire running-in process to become faster and faster.
In the second game, Barcelona was able to smoothly play the rhythm they wanted.
And Yi Le's role in the midfield has also been infinitely improved.
Barcelona's players played very easily. From the awkwardness at the beginning to the comfort now, they haven't experienced this kind of pleasure for a long time.
Although most of the time, they will leave the football to Yi Le, but this does not eliminate their role in the team.
Instead, they became more threatening because of Yi Le's existence.
Just like Griezmann, Griezmann was very strong during Atletico Madrid, but to be fair, Griezmann is more offensive now.
Griezmann's excellent movement awareness allowed him to form a good connection with Yi Le. With the support of a strong midfielder, Griezmann also played more smoothly.
On Messi's side, it is still the wing that Yile keeps trying.
These two are Barcelona's attack arrows, and both have the ability to upset the opponent's defense with their individual abilities.
boom! ! ! !
Griezmann made a cross from a small angle in midfield.
This cross was urgent and dangerous. It went under the crotch of the opponent's central defender and came to the front of the goal.
Suarez stepped forward in time,
With a slight flick of the ball, the ball flew towards the far corner, hit the goal post and reflected the goal.
If any commentator saw this scene, they would definitely exclaim, "What a smooth attack!"
Yes!
From midfield to goal, there were a total of six passes, each with one touch of the ball, but the thinking was extremely clear.
In this link, whether it is Yile, Griezmann or Suarez, it is as if they expected the ball to come to the desired place, and their movements are also extremely accurate.
Although Benevento is not a strong team, it is extremely gratifying that Barcelona can play such a smooth offense.
After scoring, Suarez excitedly performed a somersault.
This was his first goal in a training match. The holiday break made him seem to be in a scoring drought. Although it was only one game, it felt like a century.
Now that he finally scored a goal, he was naturally very happy.
Every Barcelona player seemed very happy. They finally played a wave of offense they wanted.
This is a huge leap, and the running-in progress is much faster than they imagined.
The happiest person is undoubtedly Griezmann, who feels that he has found his place in Barcelona.
Although he is not the core point, he can become a starting player, survive in this strong team, and even fight for glory with them.
Griezmann wanted the Champions League and came to Barcelona based on this starting point.
It would be a sad story if it turned out he wasn't right for Barcelona.
But this tragedy did not happen. He successfully integrated into the team and became a qualified assault arrow.
Griezmann took the initiative to find Yi Le, raised his arms high and said with a smile: "Come on, give me a high five!"
Yi Le also smiled and raised his arms!
Snapped! !
The two high-fived each other hard.
This scene was also captured by the surrounding media. They not only lamented that maybe in the second half of the season, this Barcelona will surprise all teams.
After the goal, the grind continued.
Barcelona is playing more and more smoothly.
After the first goal, a steady stream of goals started coming.
First, Griezmann received a through ball from Yile and scored with a single shot.
Then Suarez retreated and acted as a fulcrum, passing the ball to Messi. Messi made a beautiful arc and the ball got into the net again.
And Yi Le himself also made a world wave in the 78th minute of the second half when Benevento was hiding in the penalty area and completely ignited the training match.
After the whole game, a total of four goals were scored, which can be called a big victory.
Barcelona was very satisfied with their performance in this game, but Benevento was played with some doubts about their life.
They just wanted to try whether they could survive in Serie A, but Barcelona's ferocious offense made them very frustrated.
Benevento's head coach also looked at this scene and couldn't help but said blankly: "I really want to make a stupid decision!"
This game failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the Benevento players, but instead undermined their confidence.
...
That night, this big victory was also known to the majority of Barcelona fans.
They are very satisfied with the team's performance. Although they played a weak team, they got the result they wanted anyway.
And running-in is the key, and this is what surprises them the most.
To this end, "Le Catalunya" published a headline.
"A new Barcelona is about to be born. In the second half of the season, this Barcelona will become the focus of the entire Europe!" 》
The picture below does not choose Messi, but Yile.
From the current stage, Yile is gaining momentum after winning the Ballon d'Or. He has absolute attention in Europe and his influence is wider.
Barcelona did not complete the third phase of the training match because the opposing team was unable to come to Spain due to its own reasons.
But Barcelona was not greatly affected.
For them, the current stage of running-in is enough, and what is needed next is the training in the game.
In the absence of a training match, Valverde did not choose to attack, but took a day off. As the saying goes, he should balance work with rest and should not use too much force.
A day off made the Barcelona players feel even happier.
They are also full of confidence for the upcoming league.
Finally, the time came on January 4th. After half a month of winter break, La Liga was reconnected.
The opponent in the first round of the second half of the season is the local rival 'Espanyol'.
For Barcelona, they must win this game.
The Spaniards thought the same thing.
The most exciting thing is the Chinese fans. Isn’t this the China Derby they have been waiting for for a long time?
Although Europe doesn't pay much attention to Wu Lei, Chinese fans are still paying close attention to Wu Lei's status.
Before the season, Wu Lei performed very well and is likely to start in this game.
