Chapter 304 Boss Mei makes frequent mistakes
Sitting on the bench at the Anoeta Stadium, Zhuo Yang was still absent-minded, and these days he has never decided where to go down to his football journey.
San Sebastian is an Atlantic coastal town in the Basque Country, bordering France, but as Real Sociedad can tell, it is politically different from Athletic Bilbao, the flag team of the Basque Country, just as Barcelona and RCD Espanyol are.
In the 2002-03 season, Real Sociedad burst onto the scene and dominated the La Liga standings, only to let out their anger at the last minute and let Real Madrid win the title. Since then, Real Sociedad has been in a slump, battling relegation year after year.
Real Sociedad was relegated in 07 and did not return to La Liga until this season, and at the end of last year in the first half of the round at Camp Nou, Real Sociedad was beaten by Barcelona 5:0, and Zhuo Yang, who was aiming to score points, scored four goals.
Today is the 34th round of the 2010-11 La Liga season, with 20 teams battling each other, and there are few matches left in 38 rounds. Barcelona, who sit at the top of the league table, are 11 points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, who suffered an unexpected 3-2 defeat at home to Zaragoza in yesterday's game.
In other words, if Barcelona can beat Real Sociedad today, they will win the La Liga title four rounds ahead of schedule.
Although this champion has been held in hand, it is naturally a happy event to be able to make a decision in advance. Even so, Guardiola still intends to line up a full bench lineup for this game, and the core main player was originally planned to be only Xavi, and the other big tigers will press on the bench.
Real Sociedad's weakness is one thing, and the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid four days later is the main event, although the 2-0 lead is solid, but Real Madrid is never a fuel-efficient lamp.
In fact, Real Madrid also reserved strength for the second leg yesterday and went on the bench for most of the time, so Jingzhou accidentally overturned the ship on Zaragoza. Among these substitutes, Kaka, who had just won a thousand gold, played the whole game.
Luca and Isabella, a son and a daughter, said to Zhuo Yang on the phone: My life is complete.
Although there was joy in his words, for some reason Zhuo Yang heard a hint of old-fashionedness. Kaka has flown directly to Sao Paulo, Brazil, today to visit his wife Caroline and the little padded jacket he met for the first time, and he is not in the squad for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Zhuo Yang was pressed on the bench by Guardiola today to recuperate, and there was nothing to do with Boss Mei, but he took the initiative to ask to start, and after thinking about it, Guardiola agreed to his invitation, because Messi's condition in training in the past few days was obviously not good, and it might be useful for him to find it in this game.
Mei's father's request, Zhuo Yang didn't know if Messi knew in advance, but it didn't matter to him, and Zhuo Yang didn't want to think about it at all.
Zhuo Yang has not yet told anyone in the team about the decision to leave Barcelona, and he does not plan to make it known to everyone until he is sure of his whereabouts, especially in the most critical closing stage of the season, it is not a good thing to think about heaven and hell in the Champions Cup, and let his teammates think too much.
So far, this decision has only been known to the family, Kouko, and her agent, Raiola. The sister is in the United States, and the fat man is in Brazil, they made an appointment with Zhuo Yang, and after the second leg with Real Madrid, they will gather in Barcelona for further talks.
Zhuo Yang has no waves in his heart, and his performance is no different from usual, he is already a veteran in the transfer matter, and leaving Barcelona is far less worrying than the separation from Koko.
Boss Mei has been a little silent in the past two days, but fortunately, he is not usually a person who talks much, and everyone does not notice any big difference in his emotions, but the state shown in training is indeed a mess.
Playing football, who hasn't had an ups and downs? Although it is not common for Boss Mei to be so sluggish in himself, it is not unusual among professional players at all, and it may have passed in two or three days.
Pep Guardiola also thought so, so Messi's request to play was very reasonable in his opinion, so he pushed him to go to the game to adjust himself. The other starters, Xavi was all the usual substitutes, and even the goalkeeper sent the old Pinto.
Jose Pinto was banned by UEFA for attacking Real Madrid's assistant coach Cendo in front of the referee. At the age of 36, this also means that he has basically bid farewell to the European competition.
Pinto Sr. didn't care about this at all, because 10,000 substitutes on the bench didn't make him more popular than these two slaps, and Jose Pinto's fame was all that mattered.
.
Although Real Sociedad has been entrenched in the middle of the standings this season, relegation has been worry-free, but the gap between them and Barcelona is naturally obvious, with Messi and Xavi, plus Keita, Mascherano, Afele, Pinto, are all famous players, Guardiola believes that this game is worry-free.
A first-half goal from teenager Thiago gave Barcelona a 1-0 lead away from home seemed to prove it.
In the 28th minute, Messi dribbled in the front, and Bergara's pressing was not very powerful, but Boss Mei mixed garlic under his own feet, and the football was knocked on his right foot. This kind of thing is rare for Messi to happen.
However, the mistake resulted in a miraculous assist, and the 20-year-old shot from the feet of Thiago in the box was pushed back with a single shot, and Chilean goalkeeper Bravo couldn't prevent the ball from hitting the crossbar and sprinting into the net.
The dribbling mistake is just the epitome of Boss Mei's game, being broken, offside, shooting impatiently, and sticking to the ball, giving people the feeling that this is not the Boss Mei of the past at all, like a lame person impersonating.
But the more this is the case, the more it is necessary to let him stay on the field and adjust on his own, after all, the appearance of a well-formed Mei boss in the Champions Cup means a lot to Barcelona. But in this way, it will hurt Barcelona.
In the 49th minute of the second half, Messi was cut off by Zurutusa in the midfield, Real Sociedad took advantage of the Barcelona defense to be caught off guard and counterattacked, Uruguayan striker Ivran not only equalized the score, but Barcelona central defender Milito also injured himself again because of a hasty flying tackle.
Pique replaced Millet, who was clutching his knees and wailing, and Barcelona now have five injuries in the squad, four of which are at the back, Platt, Coffee, Abidal, Millet and one Bojan.
After 1:1, the situation did not change, and Boss Mei played more impatient and made more mistakes.
In the 69th minute, it was Boss Mei who made a passing error, allowing French striker Griezmann to overtake the score, and Barcelona fell behind 1:2.
Although the loss did not affect Barcelona's season to win the title, the long nights were not pleasant, and Guardiola stroked his bald head in frustration, and the sparse stubble on it has been popping up less and less recently.
Zhuo Yang said, "Pep, let me go." ”
