Chapter 546: Advance to the Top 16 Ahead of Time!
"Football is not something you can play alone! Football is a sport of eleven people, and no matter how strong a person is, he can't score goals by himself, and he can't directly decide the outcome of the game......"
"Not really!"
"The opponent scored the ball alone, and the process was completely dependent on individual play......
"That's not right! He also wants his teammates to pass the ball! ”
“……”
Pep Guardiola felt that his worldview had been subverted, and he forced him to pull back to his previous worldview and view of football, firmly believing that football is a team sport and cannot be played alone.
One person can't decide anything!
Right!
Affected by the subversion of the worldview, Guardiola's mind is running fast to show that his understanding is not wrong.
The last game will not be considered for the time being.
The opponent scored three goals in this game, and the first goal was a special circumstance, Valdés's pants were torn, and the unexpected factors affected the performance, which prompted the opponent to complete the goal.
It was an accident.
The second goal is also the cooperation of his teammates, he can only choose to shoot from his own set-pieces, and he also needs his teammates to complete the most important passes, and he will only play a wonderful shot when he is in place.
The goal just now was also an accident!
Right!
Accidentally!
If the team is prepared for this and knows that he is fast enough to do so, they will definitely limit it in a targeted manner, and the easiest way is to use foul blocking.
Pique!
"Pique should be blamed for this ball!"
"Pique has been chasing, as long as there is a foul in the middle of the game, such as pulling the opponent's shirt, at most it will be a yellow card, and even a yellow card may not even be ......"
"Pique played so cleanly!"
Pep Guardiola finally found the reason, he felt that he should educate Pique, who is still too young, only 22 years old this year, and obviously lacks game experience.
For a defender, knowing what to do is the most basic thing, and Pique is obviously very inexperienced and doesn't know how to use fouls in the game.
And that's not to blame Pique.
Young!
Pique came from Barcelona's youth system, and when he was uncertain about the age at which he could become a professional footballer, he did not continue to renew his contract because he was worried that signing too long (Barcelona asked for a seven-year contract) would affect his future, but took the olive branch thrown by Manchester United.
Pique then moved into the Manchester United system.
Although he was loaned to Zaragoza for a season in the middle of the game, he was still unable to play the main team after his return.
After not getting Ferguson's trust, Pique still returned to Barcelona, Guardiola took over Barcelona, and the first decision to sign was Pique, he hoped that Pique's arrival could increase Barcelona's defensive height, because most of the other defensive players are short, Pique's height of one meter nine, the height of the air is very obvious.
Therefore, Pique is Pep Guardiola's descendant!
Super lineage!
Any manager will value the 'descendants', because the 'descendants' can be said to be their own people, and the team will give him absolute support, and the same is true for Pep Guardiola, who wants Pique to grow quickly, preferably as a Barcelona defender.
Pique did a good job.
When he signed for Barcelona, he could be said to have no fame, and he was completely a guy who 'touched the-', and the Catalan media described it as, "Guardiola didn't know what crazy he smoked, and he actually signed a stupid big man who was abandoned by Manchester United!" ”
However, Pique has been very solid, making several appearances at the beginning of the season, all of which have been very good, and coupled with the defensive advantages he has brought to the back, he has quickly become a starter.
Although Pique is not yet the 'absolute mainstay', he has played as many times as the main team.
Now Pep Guardiola has seen the problem with Pique again, and the 'too clean' defenders are not a good thing, and can even be called 'ability defects'.
"When we get back after the game, talk to Pique alone and let him know that the appropriate foul is also necessary!"
As the manager of Barcelona, it seems not good to teach the players to be 'dirty' in the game, but Pique has too little experience to help.
Pep Guardiola made the decision.
————
When Guardiola was immersed in the process of 'self-doubt' and 'self-repair', St James' Park was already filled with cheers from fans, and every fan who saw the attacking process was shocked.
They shouted wildly!
They let off the excitement of their hearts!
Zhen Shaolong dribbled the ball alone for more than seven seconds, shook off one opponent after another halfway, and finally sent the ball into the goal, and the scoring process was too shining.
Fans are proud of it!
The Newcastle United teammates on the field were also very happy, not only Zhen Shaolong's goal helped Newcastle United regain the lead over Barcelona, but also because the scoring process was very morale-boosting.
The opponent's entire team didn't stop Zhen Shaolong!
"Brother Zhen, what are you afraid of Barcelona!"
"That's it!"
"They're not good for the whole team, did you just see that? Pique, Puyol, Xavi, Busquets...... I don't even remember how many ...... there were."
"It's awesome anyway!"
"I've decided that I'm going to watch the replays a few more times when I go back! It's amazing! ”
"Me too!"
In the end, Owen added in shock, "Zhen...... Brother Zhen, what you just performed was the legendary light skill? I remember looking at the Chinese kung fu system, and it seems that there is such a ......"
Zhen Shaolong looked at Owen in a daze, and then interrupted with wide eyes, "No-yes——!!! ”
"Oh......"
Owen replied in a low voice as if he had been bullied, but there was obviously disbelief in his eyes, and he, like everyone else, decided to go back and take a closer look at the scoring process and look for clues from it.
Newcastle United were all excited, but there were also unhappy players, namely Martins on the bench.
Martins was unhappy with being substituted for no reason, and he felt that he was not performing on the offensive end because the team was very passive and the manager asked him to defend more.
He kept an eye on Owen.
Martins didn't think Irving could play better than him, but now he found out that he was wrong, and Irving was indeed better than himself because Irving already had an assist......
An assist!
Martins is not reconciled!
Although Owen's assist is very chicken, it feels like a personal pass, Zhen Shaolong can score the ball, but no matter what, the assist will be credited to Owen's head, and he can get the club's assist bonus with this, which is equivalent to being affirmed.
Data is everything!
Martins was full of depression, and he also began to sum up his experience, "The reason why I didn't perform was indeed because the team was suppressed, and it was true because the coach asked for defense, but if I get the ball and pass it to Zhen, maybe I can have an assist!" He scored two goals in the first half, even if it was just one assist for me......"
"So in the future, when you go to the game, whether you have a chance or not, you must pass the ball to Zhen more!"
Martins consciously comprehended the avenue!
————
The game on the field continued.
Newcastle United regained the lead over Barcelona and the advantage in the score was too great, because there were only ten minutes left, which was equivalent to the end.
After Zhen Shaolong completed the goal, he found that he had no direct means, and Barcelona kept controlling the ball, so he began to run constantly, and even pulled the back position to scramble, to draw Barcelona's energy and create some trouble for the other party.
That's the limit of what can be done.
At this point in the game, for many people, the result has become unimportant.
For example, Barcelona President Joan Laporta.
Laporta did not go to Newcastle with the team, he watched the game in his office, and he was a little dissatisfied with Barcelona's performance, no matter how good Zhen Shaolong's performance was, Barcelona was very depressed behind.
Seeing Zhen Shaolong complete such an amazing goal, Laporta didn't have the heart to think about the victory, he had already decided in advance, "You must convince the board!" ”
"You must let Zhen Shaolong join Barcelona!"
"If we had the most efficient striker in the world, who team would be Barcelona's opponent in the future?"
Laporta thought firmly.
Zhen Shaolong's amazing performance was not only seen by Barcelona, but also by the top management of other top clubs.
Barcelona's sworn enemies, Real Madrid, are one of them.
Real Madrid is more desperate to get Zhen Shaolong than Barcelona, because the position of president Calderón has long been unstable, "If I can convince him to join Real Madrid, I can stabilize the position of president!" But it's also a problem that he's too valuable......"
"High salary?"
"Now his salary is also the highest salary to Real Madrid, and he has twice as much salary...... He should think about it, right? ”
Calderon hesitated, but the successive failed recruitments have made him mature, and he knows that the transfer of top players is not only about salary, but also needs to be considered comprehensively, and find enough reasons to convince the other party.
It also takes luck!
Calderón decided to gather a few managers to discuss the matter in detail.
In addition to Barcelona and Real Madrid, there are many people who are watching the game between Newcastle United and Barcelona and are shocked by Zhen Shaolong's performance.
Many people were also impressed.
But undoubtedly......
If you want to get Zhen Shaolong now, you need a lot of capital, which is not something that ordinary clubs can think about.
Manchester United.
Manchester city.
Chelsea.
Inter.
Wait a minute.
Many of Europe's top clubs with capital have begun to think about related issues and how to introduce Zhen Shaolong into their clubs.
————
The mentality of everyone in the outside world can't affect the game.
Barcelona are making their final struggles as they continue to attack Newcastle United's half, but Newcastle United's defence is very tight, and most of the time they can easily outnumber eight players in the box and around the perimeter.
That's terrible!
Any skill, coordination, in the face of dense defence, it is difficult to make much difference, the game goes on, Barcelona can indeed score, but it will take time and luck.
Time, precisely what is lacking is the most.
Barcelona don't see much skill now, they have all started to play the simplest long balls, and the 1.92m Pique was sent into the penalty area to participate in the header contention, just to have a better chance of breaking the goal.
Newcastle United defended patiently.
Three minutes.
Two minutes.
One minute.
In the end, until the end of the game, Barcelona did not break the Newcastle United goal.
3 to 2!
"Newcastle United beat Barcelona at home to win the fourth round of Group C of the Champions League, and they reached 12 points from their group and qualified for the group ahead of schedule!"
"They became the first team to qualify!"
"Congratulations Newcastle!"
