Compared to Real Sociedad, Barcelona have a tighter schedule for Christmas, and they have played more Club World Cup games than Real Sociedad, which in this regard will affect the fitness and competitive condition of the players to some extent.

Moreover, in the next round of the league, Barcelona will have to fight Atletico Madrid for the top spot, if nothing else, they will play their main role in this heavyweight battle, which will be a tragic war of attrition, and it will also affect the line-up of Barcelona against Real Sociedad.

Therefore, Agusli made a decision to rotate from a comprehensive perspective - in the next game against Real Betis, Qu Jing, Bella, Canales and other main players are all rested in rotation and will not play for a minute.

The aim is clear, to maintain a better competitive form in the first leg of the Copa del Rey on 3 February, and to try to win at Camp Nou, or at least a draw.

If they can go unbeaten away from home, they can return to the Anoeta stadium with this advantage mentality, and it is possible to eliminate the Barcelona team.

It should be said that this strategic consideration of Agusli is very reasonable. After all, Real Sociedad, who are currently seventh in the league, have hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League, but it is still worth giving up a game in the league in exchange for a head start in the Copa del Rey.

However, the premise is to really get the first step as you wish, and if you want to get a win at Camp Nou, this is just an optimistic estimate, and you still need Qu Jing and his teammates to play at a super level and make more efforts.

Agusli and his players have repeatedly studied Barcelona's game, coupled with the experience of the last league match, so that they still have a clear judgment, want to completely limit the Barcelona team's midfield attack, this is almost impossible, their midfield has too many points with the ball, using super individual ability and team cooperation, can play several waves of impact in a very short period of time, and Agusli will never put on an iron bucket formation to give up the attack. The only possibility to win is to find holes in Barcelona's defense.

Pique belongs to the neurotic type, there will always be a lack of concentration in a game, and Mascherano due to age, whether in the backfield area coverage, tackles, interceptions, can no longer be the same day as at the peak, especially when he switches functions with Busquets, because Mascherano's speed is slow, which will increase the pressure on the entire midfield of the Barcelona team a lot, and even collapse the Barcelona team's defensive system.

This also allowed Agusri to set the tone against Barcelona - a fierce press and then a cross strike.

Try not to confront Barca's back line head-on, but distract them, expose them to their faults by pressing viciously, and then pull the two central defenders through the retreat of the strikers, and then use the wings to achieve sneak attacks.

But it's also risky, because the gap between the midfield and the back could be wider, and if Barcelona can easily push the ball into the centre circle, there will be a lot of pressure on the backline.

So Agusli specifically made an admonition and division of labor for the two midfield hubs of Qu Jing and Sans who turned from defense to attack, Sans is still mainly responsible for defense, and has to cover a larger area through running, while Qu Jing's task is heavier, not only to attack in the counterattack, but also to focus on Messi who is used to retracting the middle of the Barcelona team when defending.

"You old man really looks up to me......", after listening to Agusli's arrangement, Qu Jing slandered in his heart, that is Messi! The winner of the five Golden Globe Awards, this is almost an unsolvable demon, how many people want to focus on it, can it be prevented!

However, he didn't dare to show it, there are always people who play this role in the game against Barcelona, who makes him a midfielder in the 4-5-1 formation of Agusli? For Iniesta, Rakitic and Messi's frequent changes, Sans will definitely not be able to take care of it alone, so Qu Jing must return to the defense as quickly as possible when the opponent crosses the center circle with the ball, and strive to intercept the ball.

To this end, he conducted a specific study of Messi, watched a large number of clips of his previous games, and tried to draw some reference from other players in the process of defending Messi.

Not to mention, let him really find a person who is awesome.

That's Russ Diarra.

This former Real Madrid team's No. 10 iron gate is undoubtedly a god-like existence in the PK with Messi, whether it is in steals, interceptions and destruction, it has an impressive success rate.

Qu Jing carefully watched the video of Las Diarra defending Messi, and he found that the Frenchman was good in reaction and explosiveness, and compared with Messi, he also had obvious physical advantages, which made him rarely confused by Messi's super fast cadence in the duel with Messi, but could always quickly grab the ball the moment Messi left his feet when he dribbled, or simply use a reasonable collision to directly knock Messi away without fouling.

Qu Jingzi doesn't have too obvious advantages in physical confrontation, but he still has a lot of confidence in the grasp of the timing of the steal, but Messi is Messi, and he has a deep understanding from the last match, even if he has extraordinary "superpowers", it is only good for ordinary people, and he really doesn't have much confidence in the face of players with super fast rhythm changes......

In the match with Real Betis on January 31, Qu Jing really sat on the bench for 90 minutes with Vela and Canales, while Real Sociedad, which lacked many main players, was also completely disadvantaged on the field.

The Real Betis team, which was under relegation pressure, did not look like a guest at all, and they withstood the pressure of tens of thousands of fans in Real Sociedad and won easily 2:0.

After the game, Agusli and all the players apologized to the fans on the pitch, but he didn't use the Copa del Rey game as an excuse, and even if it was, there was no need to publicize it to the fans.

Fortunately, the fans of Real Sociedad have shown great tolerance, winning and losing are commonplace, and who has not yet taken a step back to say that since Agusli took office, it has brought them a lot of surprises.

Until arriving at Camp Nou on February 2, Agusli and the players did not relax for a moment, they did a lot of tactical drills for the Barcelona team - pressing, combining in the middle of the wing, rapid counterattack, rhythm control from defense to attack, etc., and also carried out a lot of set-piece training, when the situation is really not open, just like Atletico Madrid against Barcelona, set-pieces can be a weapon to win.

The night before the game, Qu Jing unexpectedly received a message from Harvey again - "Qu, I told those guys, you must focus on you, last time they suffered your loss, but this time, haha......"

It seems that Xavi is obviously in Qatar and cares about Camp Nou, or always pays attention to every move in La Liga, but what does this mean!

It is clear that he is on the side of his old club, and if this kind of stimulation is not to be said......

However, Qu Jing still replied as if demonstrating: "If you are at the scene, I will let you see how to slaughter them......"

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to your showdown, I hope you can make a wonderful match......"

"As you wish."
