One Hundred and Eighteen, the Strongest Barcelona in History
Gao Shen was thinking, if he is really the male protagonist of an online novel, then the author must be a big hitter.
Because he doesn't know how to arrange the plot that readers like.
Just like now, how can he let Barcelona take the Spaniard lightly?
It's already the thirty-seventh round, shouldn't this be the time for the hero to turn the tide and lead the team to rush all the way, Barcelona makes a mistake at a critical moment, and he leads Real Madrid to the championship and ascends to the La Liga throne?
This is the plot that readers like to watch, the author is great!
What the hell do you think you wrote?
No wonder you write one after another, you deserve it!
But no matter how much Gao Shen complained, Barcelona defeated the Spaniard 2-0 at home and scored three points.
In fact, there is nothing to say about the game process. Basically, Barcelona dominated. In the 19th minute, the opponent scored an own goal, which "helped" Barcelona take the lead.
In the 51st minute, Deco made a direct pass to help Larson counter offside and successfully formed a single goal. However, after being saved by the goalkeeper, Ronaldinho took the ball past the goalkeeper, volleyed and hit the goal to tie the score. Expanded to two to zero.
What is more worth mentioning is that Harvey started.
This is the Barcelona midfielder's first starting game after a serious injury, partnering with Deco, which makes Barcelona's midfield advantage very obvious, and has the advantage throughout the game, and Harvey also sent good goals one after another during the game .
It can be seen that Harvey is in very good condition.
But Gao Shen's mood is not so good.
He began to have some doubts, who is the leading actor, himself or Barcelona?

"Let's talk about it."
The day after the thirty-seventh round of La Liga, before the team resumed training, the Real Madrid coaching staff held a regular meeting. The topic of discussion was to add a summary of last night's game and the performance of Barcelona's victory over Spain. human analysis.
Gao Shen somewhat lost interest.
This is also human nature, because after Real Madrid won, he was eagerly looking forward to Barcelona losing points, but the Spaniard even took the initiative to send them an own goal. Isn't this a joke?
"From the data point of view, Barcelona's ball possession rate is 60%, the Spaniard's is 40%, in terms of pass success rate, Barcelona's is 81%, and the Spaniard's is 72%. Fourteen, the Spaniard twenty-four."
Lucas is now the number one data analyst under Gao Shen. Basically, before each meeting, he will prepare a detailed data analysis report for everyone, so that everyone can be more clear about what they want to discuss. The same goes for their own views, including the tactical meetings of the players.
Although it has been just over two months, Lucas is getting better at it.
"There are two points that really deserve our attention. Barcelona only took fifteen shots in the game, but..."
When Lucas said this, he paused immediately, and his tone obviously increased.
"The Spaniard has nineteen shots, the number of shots on goal, the Spaniard has nine, Barcelona has four, and the number of corner kicks is about the same, Barcelona has eight, and the Spaniard has seven."
Judging from the starting list, there is no sign of Barcelona keeping their hands in this game, even if Harvey is used to replace Iniesta.
At best, it can only be said that Rijkaard is testing Harvey's state, and the purpose is obviously for the Champions League final.
In other words, when Barcelona is doing its best and has an advantage in ball possession, the number of shooting opportunities and threats created are not as good as the Spaniard. This is the problem. "
"Second point, this game is not only a derby, but also a battle for the top scorer in La Liga this season. Before this round, Eto'o scored 26 goals, while Valencia's David Villa scored 24 goals, Villa is currently the most popular international footballer in Spain, and he is ambitious to become the Golden Boot."
"Before the game, many Barcelona players, including Puyol, Iniesta and Larsson,
They all came forward to support Eto'o, and Puyol even said that the whole team would support Eto'o's goal and help him compete for the Golden Boot. "
When Lucas said this, he smiled slightly: "But, Eto'o missed a lot of opportunities, and Villa scored a goal."
Now, on the La Liga scorer list, Eto'o still has 26 goals, while Villa has scored 25 goals by virtue of his goals in this round. The difference between the two is only one goal.
Eto'o's golden boot is not safe either.
"Actually, in the game, there were many scenes that proved that Barcelona players really seemed to help Eto'o score. For example, Larson could kick the goal by himself, but he insisted on crossing; Deco could also directly kicked, but he insisted on passing the ball, and Giuly, he also gave up a one-on-one chance and chose to cross..."
"But Eto'o still couldn't score."
Lucas said so much, in fact, just want to prove a point, Eto'o's state is not very good.
In other words, there is a problem with Barcelona's offense.
Being shot 19 times by the Spaniard is enough to prove that Barcelona's defense is also problematic.
There is no way to guarantee that Barcelona will fall to Athletic Bilbao in the last round, but it is still of great reference value for the next Champions League final.
"However, our scouts also received news from Barcelona that Messi has basically recovered."
It was all good news, but Lucas' last words made everyone feel a little depressed.
How strong is Messi?
Gao Shen knows better than anyone else.
Although Messi has just debuted not long ago, his strength is beyond doubt.
Of course, next season will be the season when Messi will start to become a god, because he will stage a scene of five players in a row.
But now, he is still very scary.
A La Liga quasi-golden boot Eto'o, Ronaldinho on the left, Messi on the right, Xavi, Deco and Iniesta in the middle, how terrifying is this team?
Gao Shen was able to lead Real Madrid and beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp. One of the most important reasons was to cut Barcelona's midfield. With passers like Deco, Harvey or Iniesta, this is the strongest Barcelona in history, how to defend?
If Gao Shen remembers correctly, in the 2006 Champions League final in his memory, Rijkaard did not let Xavi and Messi play, nor did he let Iniesta start, but played more conservatively.
If this is the case, then he is not particularly worried.
However, his arrival has changed everything, Rijkaard will do the same?
…………
…………
Real Madrid beat Racing Santander, Barcelona beat Espanyol.
La Liga championship suspense was left to the final round.
This not only makes the whole of Spain look forward to it, but even fans all over the world are curious.
The supporters of the two giants also have their own teams, and Barcelona is undoubtedly more dominant, because they not only hold the initiative, but also have stronger strength than Real Madrid and a better-looking style of play. Such a team is more pleasing.
Real Madrid is at a disadvantage, because in the last round, they will challenge Sevilla away.
After thirty-seven rounds, Sevilla managed to catch up with Osasuna, and both teams had sixty-five points.
In the last round, Osasuna played against Valencia at home, and Sevilla played against Real Madrid at home. These two games are destined to be tough battles. The two teams aiming at the Champions League will definitely fight their opponents to the end.
In contrast, Barcelona's opponent Athletic Bilbao is ranked twelfth, and it seems to have no desires.
This also allows Barcelona to win the championship odds, has always been significantly ahead of Real Madrid.
...
Gao Shen didn't pay too much attention to the opinions of the outside world, and always focused on the team itself.
Since there was a week between the 37th and 38th rounds, the team had a restorative training session the day after the Malaga match, and had a day off in the afternoon.
But the players can have a vacation, Gao Shen and the coaching staff can't, they are still busy.
The scouts have also been paying close attention to Barcelona's movements. At the same time, a scout is investigating Sevilla. They will collect all kinds of information to Valdebebas in time to provide reference for the Real Madrid coaching staff to make decisions.
[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Mimi Reading, install the latest version. 】
At noon that day, Gao Shen received a call from Butragueno.
The vice president of Real Madrid knew about the team's arrangements. The team had a holiday in the afternoon, and Gao Shen had nothing to do at night, so he extended an invitation.
Florentino's dinner has been proposed for a long time, and Gao Shen mentioned it to Martin before, but because he was busy, he always delayed, and Gao Shen was not very willing to entangle Florentino at this time, so It has never been eaten.
This time, Butragueno specially chose to arrange it when the team was on vacation. Gao Shen also agreed before, so he had to go.
Fortunately, according to Butragueno, Florentino not only invited Gao Shen to the dinner, but also other people such as Butragueno and Valdano, all of whom are related to the football industry.
This is also to avoid embarrassment when eating.
...
Dinner is at about eight o'clock in the evening.
The location is a barbecue restaurant near the Four Towers business district in Madrid, called Casa Juan.
Gao Shen has heard of this barbecue restaurant. Real Madrid players like to have dinner here, but it is a pity that when Gao Shen and Carlo entered the first team, the team's performance has been very unsatisfactory, and the first team has no intention of having dinner. Never been here.
Knowing that Gao Shen didn't have a car, Butraguenot asked the driver to pick him up at Valdebebas.
Gao Shen did not expect that this famous barbecue restaurant in Spain and even the world is hidden in a small street. From the outside, it looks inconspicuous, and even the signboard is very small.
"Mr. Gao, hello." The waiter greeted the guests at the door, and greeted Gao Shen politely.
Obviously, they all know a lot.
"Hello."
When Gao Shen was about to reveal his intention for coming, the other party already knew about it.
"Mr. Perez and his guests have already arrived. However, Mr. Butragueno specifically told you just now that when you arrive, go to the king's box first, and he will wait for you there."
After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, and welcomed Gao Shen into the barbecue restaurant.
Gao Shen was quite surprised, but soon remembered.
I have long heard that the King of Spain is a regular customer of this restaurant, but I did not expect him to be there.
Want to see yourself?
Could it be that we want to discuss something about inheriting the Spanish throne?
