Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the Stadio Olimpico was already surrounded by a large number of Espanyol fans.

Derbies are always hot, and although this derby is not as hot as the Spanish national derby, and it doesn't have as much attention, it is also a feud between the two teams.

Neither Barcelona nor Espanyol want to lose this game.

But compared to the confident Barcelona, the Spaniard seemed a little unconfident, and he was not so sure about victory in his tone.

The resumption of the league has greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the fans.

As the first game of Barcelona in the second half of the season, it has also received huge attention from fans in Europe and even around the world.

Barcelona have been poor in the final rounds of the first half of the season.

And a lot of teams are also targeting their 'weaknesses'.

Is Barcelona out of the woods today?

How effective are the new tactics in official matches?

These are all unknowns.

Despite the confidence of Barcelona fans, many media outlets and football commentators are skeptical.

After all, a training match is a training match, and a league is a league, and the two are not the same.

Because of this, this game has also received quite a lot of attention.

Yile's starting is certain, after all, Yile is the absolute core of the current Barcelona team, and no one can lack Yile.

On the other hand, on the Spaniards' side, Wu Lei also entered the starting list.

This also surprised the Chinese fans, and their long-awaited Chinese derby finally began.

The lineup on both sides is as follows.

Spaniards (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: López.

Defender: Xavi. López, Naldo, Bernardo, Didak.

Midfielders: Gomez, David. López, Mark. Rocca.

Forwards: Wu Lei, Serhi. Dadel, Caleri.

Barcelona (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba.

Midfielders: De Jong, Yile, Rakitic.

Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Suarez, Messi.

The Spaniards have come up with their most confident squad at this stage, while Barcelona are playing steadily and showing off their new tactical configuration.

With the fierce shouts of the scene, the players on both sides finally entered the court.

The captains of both sides choose sides.

Barcelona then took the initiative to shake hands with the Spaniards as the visiting team.

Yi Le and Wu Lei also hugged gently.

Both sides come to their own half, and the game starts at any time.

"Okay, now the players on both sides are ready for the Spaniard to kick off first."

In He Wei's high-pitched voice, the referee blew the whistle.

"This is CCTV Channel 5, after half a month of vacation, the 2019/2020 La Liga season is back on fire. In this game, we can look at Barcelona and see how this team that has just restructured and used new tactics will perform. “

"As soon as the game started, the Spaniards started attacking aggressively, and they kept trying to pull on both flanks, as if they were going to break through both flanks.

Under everyone's watch, the Spaniards were not at all afraid to fight, and against Barcelona, they took the lead and kept pressing on the two wings.

But Barcelona defended very well.

Yile and Rakitic were on their side, and the coordinated defense in the midfield and back made the Spaniards suffer from no chances.

Seeing this scene, the Barcelona commentator's eyes lit up and said: "Valverde is putting the Italian collaborative defense into his own team, this kind of defense requires the linkage between the midfield and the backfield, and at the same time tests the midfield's counterattack ability." ”

"And now Barcelona has an easy existence, and I don't think we need to worry about that."

As narrated by commentator Komans, Barcelona were solid defensively and constantly tried to make tackles.

This made the Spaniards a little jealous and did not dare to attack suddenly.

At the same time, Barcelona were pressing harder, and Antoine Griezmann dropped back to join the press, leaving the Spaniard under pressure and having to choose a wide wing to try to attack.

They chose Wu Lei as a wing, kicked the ball in front of Wu Lei, and asked him to catch up.

This kind of ball is very casual and tests the speed of the striker.

Wu Lei's speed is not fast, his characteristic is to insert forward, in this case, he can't play any effect.

Sure enough, Wu Lei was chased by Yi Le as soon as he started, and a tough push pushed him aside, and he dominated the ball strongly.

The ball changed hands, Yi Le slammed it at his feet, circled it, and passed the ball to Rakitic with his left foot.

Then, Yile moved forward again to the vicinity of the middle circle.

"Barcelona get the ball, what are they going to do?"

When everyone expected Yile to lead the attack, Yile handed the ball directly to De Jong, and he stood behind De Jong to cover.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.

De Jong is indeed a good playmaker, but is he better than Yile?

Unlike the fans' performances, the Barcelona players understood Yile's intentions after seeing De Jong with the ball.

It's going to be a tough attack.

The time has come to test their ability to thrive.

De Jong moved laterally with the ball, and Yile followed closely behind him.

The opposing player came to harass De Jong, and De Jong made a passing gesture, and the moment the opposing player kicked out, he quickly pulled the ball and wiped it past him.

"De Jong!! Passed!! He played so confidently!! ”

Comans shouted in surprise.

In the past, due to his physical weakness, De Jong always played a little submissively, not to mention this kind of pass, even if someone was close to him within a radius of a few meters, this thing definitely considered passing first.

But now, De Jong's style of play has changed dramatically, and he is playing more confidently and aggressively.

Yi Le also nodded secretly after seeing De Jong's performance.

This kind of passing action should be done more, which can build confidence, and it is just in the league, and in the Champions League, it needs some technical blessings, and the big scene needs a big heart, De Jong has always been lacking in this regard, so Yile intends to cultivate De Jong's self-confidence.

After the pass, De Jong continued to push forward, and when he absorbed a certain amount of defensive strength, he stuffed the ball to Messi.

Messi holds the ball in the front court, which is the most comfortable position to attack.

In the face of the rolling ball, Messi did not stop the ball, but lightly buckled the arch of his foot, and was extremely agile and directly entered it from the side.

"Messi in the box!"

The Barcelona fans at the scene have been dry.

They were a bit of a surprise.

Barcelona's style of play has changed a bit and has become extremely hot.

As soon as the Spaniards gave them a strike, Barcelona were about to get back on the pitch.

And it's a hard hit!

This kind of courage did not make them feel uncomfortable, but they were very happy.

This shows the blood and vitality of this team from the side!
