Chapter 172: La Liga opens

After the last training match, Barcelona also returned to the training base to prepare for the new season.

On August 15, the first round of La Liga opened, and the opening match was Barcelona VS Athletic Bilbao.

A week before the start of the game, Barcelona fans were very enthusiastic.

Two seasons of malaise have made them unable to tolerate the team's inaction, and this season, after their strong recruitment of Yile, there has been a qualitative change in the midfield.

Therefore, the expectation for the new season is a little more sufficient.

When major media analyzed the list of strong teams in Europe, Barcelona's name also appeared frequently.

With Messi and Yile, what kind of energy will burst out of this Barcelona team, this is something that everyone is curious about.

The media did not believe that there would be a problem with Yile's performance, after all, he had been in high form for several seasons in a row.

His maintenance of form has made everyone look at and move.

But no one can learn and is willing to learn, after all, it is something that is obtained through training again and again, even during the holidays.

They can't do it like Yile and train around football 365 days a year.

......

In the 2018/2019 season, the first round of La Liga openers began.

On this day, 100,000 people gathered at Camp Nou, and they couldn't wait to watch Yile's La Liga debut.

This match attracted great attention, not only the media from all over the world, but also the Barcelona senior management came to the VIP seat to supervise the game.

Even the other team analysts came and it was clear that they were curious about this Barcelona team.

Athletic Bilbao is not too difficult to play against.

This is a perennial team that has been in the middle of La Liga for many years, finishing eighth in La Liga last season and just out of the Europa League qualification zone.

The 'Basque Lions' have the same feat as Real Madrid and Barcelona in that they have been in La Liga since 1928 and have never been kicked out of the top flight.

They have won eight La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey titles, but they are now in decline.

La Liga is still polarised, and there is a strong Atletico side ready to open Pandora's box.

Therefore, many people are paying attention to this game.

However, the game was very disappointing for them.

How to say it.

Dull!

Barcelona completely crushed the opponent in the midfield, and Yile stood on the rib of the pitch, delivering cannonballs one after another.

In the words of the live commentary at Camp Nou.

"Suarez almost lives in the opponent's big penalty area, he only needs to raise his foot to shoot, and everything else, Yi has done it for him."

Yi Le's performance in this game was excellent, and he played up to the expectations of Barcelona fans.

The entire 90 minutes were pressed, and the aggressive style of play kept the Camp Nou singing loudly from start to finish.

At the end of the game, Barcelona won 2:0.

In this game, Suarez and Messi scored one goal each, and Yile received two assists.

......

That night, the newspaper "Football of Catalonia" praised Yile.

"In the opening match of the first round of La Liga in the past, Yi's performance can be described as perfect, he did everything we fantasized about and even better. Those through balls directly tore through Bilbao's backline, and we no longer need to see Messi break through in embarrassment, because we have sharper weapons! ”

Barcelona fans are very happy to see such a report, and they like to have people praise Yile, which makes them feel proud.

However, there are also some nasty media outlets that are against them.

For example, the newspaper Marca points to a problem.

"Yi's performance is really good, but Barcelona still has loopholes, Yi and Messi are not very compatible, in the whole game, they only had 7 interactions, and 4 of them ended in failure. This means that the dual-core system advocated by Barcelona is not entirely valid. So, the dilemma now for Valverde is whether to choose Yile or Messi. ”

Many people were silent about such a comment.

They only think about victory, but subconsciously want to ignore some details.

Yile is the core, and Messi also has to play the core.

But the two cores seem to be incompatible, and there is a certain conflict, which is the worst problem.

Even if it hasn't been revealed yet, if you run into a strong team, such as a national derby, this incompatibility can ruin the game.

The whole football world is discussing this matter, and some people are starting to eat melons with great interest.

This is the conundrum left for Valverde.

So, choose, it's Yile or Messi!

Is it to embrace tradition or to reform...

Valverde felt his head blow up.

He didn't dare touch either of them.

Messi does not need to explain what he means to Barcelona, but Yile is the hope of Barcelona.

Even from Valverde's point of view, he is more inclined to support Yile, but will Messi's side agree?

And will it create a contradiction in doing so?

All this makes him feel helpless, in the end, his authority is not enough, if Guardiola is still in charge of this team, he may dare to judge, but he does not dare.

Valverde is thinking about procrastination now, and doesn't answer similar questions anyway.

However, even if it drags on, he has to solve this problem!

Thinking of this, Valverde covered his head and felt that his head hurt even more.

At this moment, the door of the head coach's office was pushed open, and a coach ran over with a happy face and smiled; "Problem solved!"

“?” Valverde looked up in confusion.

The assistant coach handed over his phone, and inside was Messi's tweet.

I saw Messi write on Twitter; "I can tell you clearly that the core of Barcelona at this stage is Yi, and I made a promise a year ago that if Yi came to Camp Nou, then I would prepare a gift for him, and it would be my gift. In fact, I don't need too many honors anymore, all I want is victory, and Yi can let me see the hope of victory, so he is the core! ”

"As for the future games, I will adjust my style of play and try not to occupy Yi's airborne, he played very well, I think this, you also understand it!"

"Finally, I hope you don't stir up a relationship between us, this season, all I want is victory, victory after victory!"

Messi took the initiative to concede, which was unexpected by everyone and shocked many people.

And that's the end of it?

This is perhaps the most pleasant solution, after all, Messi personally announced the core position of Yile, which is the best outcome.

The media who were planning to write a big book shut up one after another, they were a little helpless, and at the same time felt aggrieved, Messi is here, why is Yi, a young and vigorous young man, so enduring?

Shouldn't you run out and say something, fight for profit?

In the villa, Yi Le sat on the treadmill and asked Messi with a blank face; "What did Marca say? What happened? ”

Messi: "......."
