Barcelona's strength is undoubted, and the strength of the Cosmos team is known to all fans.

Although they have just drawn with Deportivo La Coruna in the league and encountered some minor setbacks, it will be very difficult for Evergrande to get out of this game.

In 2013, Evergrande faced the then Champions League champion Bayern in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup. In the end, the Evergrande team lost to Bayern 0:3.

Looking back on this game now, it can only be described as bleak.

After the game, FIFA statistics showed that Evergrande only had two shots on goal in the whole game, and neither of them hit the goal frame, while Bayern's two statistics were 27 and 13.

If it weren't for Bayern's bad luck and 4 shots hit the goal frame, Evergrande would have lost very badly. In terms of possession, Evergrande only had 28%.

It is worth mentioning that in the statistics of the first half, Evergrande's shot data was 0.

After that battle, the gap between Evergrande and Europe's top teams was clearly exposed, but it was thanks to such a game that the team was able to grow rapidly.

Today's Evergrande team is obviously stronger than it was then, and when the opponent is replaced by Bayern and Barcelona, facing the Barcelona team with superior attacking power, it is conceivable that defensive counterattack is the only way for Evergrande to play.

The news of Evergrande's semi-final challenge to Barcelona has attracted the attention of some foreign media. Although the angle of attention is slightly different, they are all surprised by Evergrande's performance, and they are also happy to imagine the scene of the two teams really meeting.

Evergrande officially released the poster of the game against Barcelona the day before the game - the dream still has to be there, what if it comes true?

On the day Evergrande arrived in Yokohama, Barcelona also arrived in Yokohama and had a day off at the same time.

In Barcelona's 23-man squad, although Messi and Neymar are present, both of them are unable to play due to injury.

Suarez, who is the only one of Barcelona's front trident who can play, said that in fact, Barcelona had expected that its semi-final opponent would not be America but Evergrande. The team is currently on two draws in a row and has not tasted victory for a while, so it can be said that it is in a "downturn".

'I know some of their players and Neymar told me they were good. Suarez said this may be the only thing he knows about Evergrande. "No matter what, we will stick to our Barcelona style, whether it is against the American team or Evergrande."

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique feels his team urgently needs to get out of the slump through the Club World Cup. 'We need to bounce back,' said Enrique, "and let's not talk about the final, the most important thing is to win the semi-final. ”

……

"Without Messi and Neymar, this Barcelona team is not easy to deal with!" Dai Zhiwei sighed after watching the news of training after Barcelona arrived in Yokohama.

Many fans in China are still excited about Messi and Neymar's absence due to injury, and it seems that the absence of these two stars will increase Evergrande's chances of winning.

But how qualitatively different can there be between a 1% chance of winning and a 10% chance of winning?

At present, in the Evergrande team, the only one who can play football after joining Barcelona is Paulinho.

Goulart can't do it, Elkeson can't do it, and Dai Zhiwei knows that he can't do it either.

It's not that Dai Zhiwei is arrogant himself, just compare Barcelona's current absolute substitute Munir.

Born in 1995, Munir is one year younger than Dai Zhiwei, a Spanish U21 international, became Barcelona's top scorer in preseason at the age of 18, scored his first goal on his La Liga debut, and is not inferior to Goulart and Elkeson and other superstars, and has not yet reached the peak of his career because of age.

But such a talented player, who is an absolute substitute in the Barcelona team, can only get the opportunity to play in the Copa del Rey.

Take a look at the list of defenders in Barcelona's backline: Pique, Mascherano, Alves, Bartra, Alba, Douglas, Adriano, Vermaelen and Mathieu, which of these is an opponent that the Evergrande front trident can easily face?

Cannavaro's goal for the team is also very clear, that is, to win with fewer losses, and to try not to lose more than three goals is acceptable, and if you can score a goal, it will be even more perfect.

Dai Zhiwei also agreed with Cannavaro's goal, after all, many La Liga teams may not have lost to Barcelona by only three goals.

However, he just didn't give in.

He admitted that Chinese football is weak, and Asian football is the world's third-rate level, but before the game, he already had the psychological expectation of losing less and winning, just like being ready to be beaten when fighting, and expecting the enemy to hit himself with his fists, rather than hurting himself with a sharp weapon.

"What's wrong? I feel like you're very sad! Da Kongyi asked for the first time when he saw Dai Zhiwei after entering the system.

"Alas, don't say it, the next game will be against Barcelona......" Dai Zhiwei lost his mind to follow halfway through his words and sat on the ground.

"Scared?" Da Kongyi walked over and sat cross-legged next to Dai Zhiwei.

"Of course not." Dai Zhiwei shook his head, "You don't want to say anything like 'football is round, anything can happen in a game', or anything like 'how do you know you won't win if you don't even play in the game'." As professional footballers, you and I both know that it is an outsider. ”

"I know that the current Evergrande really does not have the basis for an upset." "But, I don't think your team can win the game, but at least you shouldn't lose. ”

"Huh?" Dai Zhiwei's eyes swept over the big empty wing.

"Remember the 2002 World Cup match between Costa Rica and Brazil?" Big Sky Wing asked.

"Of course I remember, 5:2, the classic goal shootout." The 2002 World Cup was the first time Dai Zhiwei saw the world's top football, and he was naturally impressed.

"In my opinion, Costa Rica in that game was like Evergrande now, and Barcelona was like Brazil." "Costa Rica also lost by three goals in that game, and their weak backline couldn't defend against Brazil's 3R attack at all, just like Evergrande's backline. ”

"However, although they lost by three goals in the end, no one would laugh at the Costa Rica team in that game, because they scored two goals against the strong Brazilian team, which inspired the strongest Brazil and won the respect of their opponents and the world."

"Relatively speaking, I prefer this 'way of dying' in Costa Rica." Speaking of this, Dakong Yi stared into Dai Zhiwei's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Because of the strength of Huaxia football, you will experience more and more of this situation in the future." In the World Cup, the Chinese team may not be able to win the championship in the past 50 years, and even losing only one goal in many games is a luxury, but you can't lose! ”

"Even if the team in "Soccer Player" comes, you have to complete the goal so that the opponent can't get out of the way!"

"I see." After a long while, Dai Zhiwei nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, don't be so serious." Dakong Yi smiled and patted Dai Zhiwei, "Your current points are enough to exchange for a 15-point skill, why don't you strengthen it before Barcelona?" ”

"Yes, that's a reminder of you!" Dai Zhiwei also smiled, "Do you have any good recommendations?" ”

"Hehe, there is no skill in the 15-point skill that can make you strong by leaps and bounds, so I have an idea." "There are many Barcelona players who are good at dribbling, although Messi and Neymar can't play, but Iniesta, Suarez and others are also good dribbling. So you wonder if it would be interesting if they had a better player against them? ”

"Hey, that's interesting!" Dai Zhiwei touched the slightly revealing stubble on his chin and nodded.

"The right-angle fake is a very practical skill among the 15-point skills, and it is also the highest score among the passing skills, and it is ......" Da Kongyi paused and sold a pass, "As long as the defensive ability is below 90 points and the agility is below 80 points, it is impossible to defend the right-angle fake one-on-one without fouling." ”

"Such a bug?" When Dai Zhiwei heard this, his eyes were already full of light, and he couldn't help but say, "Then what are you waiting for?" Come on, ravage me! ”
