Chapter 264 Competition Everywhere
Yi Le did not dissuade the two of them from doing anything.
And judging from their expressions, it is estimated that these two will not come abroad again in the future.
After eating, Yi Le continued training, and his life was still calm and warm.
The following week, they will have a doubleheader.
The King's Cup and the league will both be on the agenda.
The opponents in the King's Cup are not strong, which allows them to cope well, and Yile will not play in the King's Cup. When the time comes, Yile will be on the bench and Busquets will enter the starting lineup.
In Valverde's plan, Yile needs to spend his energy on the league and the Champions League, not elsewhere.
After all, these two games are the most critical thing to them.
There are two games a week, but the pressure is not on Yi Le. He is more of a firefighter.
Moreover, Valverde also plans to use the King's Cup to train, and results are not important.
Under this situation, Yi Le and Griezmann are still training together.
Every day, they are making forward runs. From the beginning, they were unfamiliar, but now their success rate is gradually increasing. Although they cannot have the same understanding as the old players, they are still very good.
"FXXK!" Umtiti said angrily: "Anthony, why is it me every time?"
After being caught several times by Griezmann, Umtiti's mentality collapsed.
Although we are familiar, we can't be so familiar, right?
Just grab me and break out?
In response to Umtiti's complaint, Griezmann smiled and said: "Man, your turn is too slow. I'm helping you train. It's better to suffer a loss from me than from your opponent."
Hearing this, Umtiti looked stunned.
He knows that his turn is slow, but it is not particularly slow, but compared with Griezmann, there is indeed a big gap.
This became a breakthrough. In the past, they might have been able to hang out, but now the entire team is fiercely competing for the starting position. This made Umtiti feel alarmed. He stopped practicing and went directly to the physical coach. , shouting at the top of his lungs that he needs to train his flexibility.
The entire training ground was in full swing.
Yi Le also looked at this scene with a smile,
He felt that this atmosphere was very good.
At the very least, every team member is very enthusiastic, which will spur this team to continue to move forward.
Valverde also looked at this scene, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
From Barcelona's firefighting coach to now being gradually recognized by fans, Valverde has done a good job. Although he cannot match the status of famous coaches like Guardiola in the hearts of Barcelona fans, he is already a qualified head coach.
Of course, Valverde did not take all the credit, and he did not feel that these were all his own contributions.
Although he is very serious about maintaining the team, it is Yile who really awakens Barcelona's fighting spirit.
"Yi, Messi, come on."
Valverde called Yile and Messi over. Said: "I want to stop physical training."
Physical training is a necessary training item that Barcelona has been conducting after the winter break.
But now, with double matches a week and the pressure of the Champions League, Valverde does not dare to continue training like this.
If you continue to practice like this, instead of making a breakthrough in physical fitness, it will become a liability.
Hearing this, Yi Le and Messi looked at each other and nodded. They also agreed with Valverde's decision.
Later, Valverde asked about the physical conditions of Yi Le and Messi, and after learning that there were no problems, he allowed the two to leave with confidence.
When walking back to the training ground, Messi couldn't help but laugh.
This made Yi Le a little stunned and asked: "Is there anything worth being happy about?"
Messi turned to look at Yi Le, shook his head slightly, and nodded slightly, but did not explain anything.
Yi Le touched his head, he was a little confused.
...
On January 18, La Liga ushered in the 20th round.
The season has entered the halfway point, which also means that the competition will become more and more intense in the future.
Barcelona successfully won the half-way championship, but they were not resting easy.
Both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are chasing them with a slight gap. If one of them is not good, they may even overtake.
It can only be said that the current advantage has not been expanded to the point of peace of mind.
Barcelona needs to continue to win. Of course, if possible, it is not impossible for Real Madrid and Atletico to lose.
The opponent in this round is Celta Vigo, a team hovering near the relegation zone and not very strong.
In order to take care of Messi's physical fitness, Valverde did not choose to let Messi play, but Yi Le led the team of Griezmann, Suarez and Fati to start.
In this game, Yi Le wore the captain's armband for the second time. Become the captain of Barcelona.
This is recognized by the players and fans.
They gave Yi Le full respect, and the entire Camp Nou burst into applause and cheers.
Celta is not strong, but they set up a bus in front of the goal.
The Camp Nou was filled with boos.
La Liga fans look down on this tactic, but it has to be said that it was very effective. Barcelona failed to score any goals in the first half.
However, Celta was also at the end of its game. They were fooled around by Barcelona's passing control, and there was a huge problem with their physical fitness.
In the second half, Barcelona suddenly exerted force. Yi Le distributed the ball towards the right wing in the center circle. After De Jong held the ball, he chose to break through with unusual confidence.
De Jong is not fast, but his skills at the feet are excellent, and he has improved to a certain extent in recent confrontation training.
Under his breakthrough, Celta's defense was in chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, De Jong fired the ball towards the left.
Griezmann stepped in smartly and volleyed directly from outside the penalty area.
The shot was so sudden that the goalkeeper didn't even react.
By the time the goalkeeper came to his senses, the ball had already rolled down the net.
Griezmann adds another goal.
Griezmann was very excited to score goals. Since joining Barcelona, he has scored three goals in three games, and the results are very good.
This satisfied both him and the fans.
However, on the other hand, Suarez does have a toothache.
Griezmann's performance set off alarm bells in his heart.
My golden boots are about to be robbed!
In the 65th minute, Suarez held up two opposing defenders in the penalty area, one fell to the ground and swept the shot, scoring a goal.
After the goal, Suarez came to the corner kick, pointed to himself, and then gave a thumbs up.
I'm the best one!
On the other side, Griezmann curled his lips and felt a little depressed.
However, he will not give up easily. Now that he is gradually finding goals, the next step is the highlight.
Anyway, the league is still halfway through. If he keeps this efficiency, there is no telling who the Golden Boot will belong to.
Since the core of the team cannot be taken down, a top scorer is not bad either.
Griezmann stared at Suarez with bright eyes, and the latter subconsciously turned back.
The two looked at each other and immediately turned their heads simultaneously.
cut!
