Chapter 17 Death does not change!

Barcelona's opponent in the ninth round of La Liga is promoted Magrona, and although they are playing away from home, no one thinks Girona has a chance to cause problems for Barcelona on their home turf.

Girona, who was also mixed in the Spanish second division last season, is not at the same level as Barcelona, and cannot compete with Barcelona in terms of team lineup and player strength, although Girona, as a promoted horse, has made great progress this season, and they are currently ranked eleventh in La Liga, but compared with a giant team like Barcelona, it is still much worse.

Few changes have been made to Barcelona's starting line-up, Simon? Grayson just let Ben? Parker went into the rotation and replaced his favorite with Italian veteran Crisitto.

After the start of the game, Barcelona controlled the initiative of the game by controlling the ball unhurriedly, and then Ganso stuffed the ball into the penalty area on the left side of Girona in the 24th minute.

Girona's goalkeeper Gorka had already blocked the near corner, but he never expected Shaq to choose to shoot here, his center of gravity shifted to the left and then back, and he couldn't even touch the edge of the ball.

Shaq's shot on goal...... The speed is fast, the angle is tricky, and how can Gorka, who has made a mistake in judgment, be able to prevent it!?

Next, Girona, who was at home, saw twice in a row how strong the world champion really is............

On 56 minutes, Krissettig intercepted Girona's goal kick in the centre circle, and Shaq relied on his pace to fight for a chance in front of him, rushing between the two central defenders and slotting the ball to his right with his left foot before the onrushing Gorka. Dodging the goalkeeper's heel and nudging the arch of his right foot, the score became 2:0.

On 71 minutes, Vasquez crossed the ball to the middle of the six-yard penalty area from the left, and after leaning on the defender with his body, Shaq swept the ball into the top left corner of the goal with his left foot...... 3:0！

A hat-trick made Shaq show the most ironic remark to Cruyff three times. Three more "snapping" big slaps were sent over.

Simon? Grayson has been serious off the field, he is not unhappy because Shaq is still provoking Cruyff, in fact, now Barcelona's "godfather" has really shut up, Simon? Grayson's results have made everyone who has an opinion about him have to keep their mouths shut, except for the "brutal Simon" who can bring out the strongest Barcelona in history, and even surpass Pep Guardiola's Cosmos team, who else can do this?

Really let Simon? Grayson felt uncomfortable with...... Neymar!

The Brazilian made six dribbles on the pitch, hitting the woodwork four of his six shots and attempting a cross six times. But he didn't make even one successful cross, his cross timing was not very good, and the real good chances were wasted by his use or shot, which makes people wonder if this guy did it on purpose.

Barcelona didn't create any real threat on the right side of this game, is that Simon? Where Grayson felt uncomfortable, "Little Pharaoh" Shaarawy was not like this when he was on the court.

Barcelona's next game is the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey against third-division side Bonfredina. Grayson feels he should still give the Brazilian another chance in the face of Neymar's six attempted crosses.

If it weren't for Neymar's agent and Simon? Grayson took a stand. If it weren't for Neymar who had deliberately practised crosses with Shaq in training, Simon? Grayson really didn't plan to put Neymar back in the starting lineup. This Brazilian ...... A bit of a lonely, or should I say that his desire to perform is too strong, which is not allowed.

You know, Neymar's performance has actually affected the team, otherwise Barcelona should have sealed the win in the first half, and Shaq's "hat trick" scored a lot of goals. Simon? Grayson, on the other hand, is more interested in the team's overall performance.

Three days later, Barcelona beat Bonfredina 6-0 away from home, with Shaq scoring a hat-trick and providing two assists, with Vasquiz, Gimenez and Neymar scoring a goal each.

This time, Simon? Grayson really got it. The Brazilian star was simply incorrigible, playing the full 90 minutes of the game, attempting only one of 11 crosses, making eight dribbles and having three shots on goal.

Off the pitch at the time, Simon? Grayson was already so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, his assistant Tony? McAndrew felt the anger of his old fellow, and he couldn't help but feel sad for Neymar's future fate.

But...... Neymar clearly did it on purpose!

Why didn't this Brazilian kid learn his lesson!?

When has this been, this kid still dares to commit a crime against the wind?

Do you really think that just after renewing his contract with the team for five years, "Brutal Simon" will not dare to sell him!?

With 87 minutes played, Simon? Grayson's anger was finally ignited, and the fuse was ...... Rafael was tackled by the opponent's malicious foul!

Take advantage of this opportunity, Simon? Grayson replaced Rafael and Neymar with Montoya and El Shaarawy.

Neymar, who scored a goal, felt good about himself, and raised his smiling hands above his head and slapped him, which was a response to the 2,000 hardcore Barcelona fans. Grayson makes a hug, but Simon in a black trench coat? Grayson stood there without even looking at him.

Neymar sensed that the manager seemed to be angry, and after being stunned, he inexplicably walked to the bench. Grayson was angry because of Rafael's injury.

But when McAndrew came up to approve Neymar's clothes, he sighed helplessly: "Alas............"

Neymar is very smart, otherwise he would not have made such a big name with a thin little body, and after hearing a sigh from McAndrew, Neymar immediately realized that he must have made a mistake, and then ...... After sitting in his chair and thinking for a long time, he suddenly understood what the problem was.

Neymar was very excited to be back in the first team and to be back in the starting line-up right away, and he was overly excited, and in the 180 minutes of those two games, he broke through a lot on the pitch, shot a lot on goal, and although there was only one goal, his performance was reasonable.

But...... This is not what "Brutal Simon" needs!

Simon? Grayson's team has a perverted "ball king", and he has always trusted his proud disciple, his team has always revolved around Shaq, whether it is Leeds United, Manchester United, or the "Three Lions", this has never changed.

Neymar took advantage of this to return to Barcelona's first-offender lineup, and then double-sided and three-way in the game did not pass the ball to Shaq, which means that he has no respect for Simon? Grayson's "solar system tactics" contributed very little, so his fate ......

When he thought of this, Neymar was shocked into a cold sweat, and he immediately understood that he was in crisis again!

But it has to be said that Neymar is still very smart, and the game ended quickly, when Simon? When Grayson turned to leave, Neymar quickly ran up and asked Simon in English that he was not very proficient in. Grayson explained: "Sir, I ...... I didn't mean to, I was just too excited and I knew ...... I was wrong, I forgot to match Shaq, I affected the team's tactics, please ...... Give me one more chance. ”

Simon? Grayson turned his head to look at Neymar and stared at the Brazilian for more than ten seconds before he said, "Let's take a good look at how other people contribute to the team and their teammates." ”

Neymar looking at Simon? Grayson walked away, with a wry smile on his face, he knew that this was the end of his starting treatment, but ...... The manager doesn't seem to have given up on him completely, so he still has a chance, but he is clearly at a disadvantage in the competition with El Shaarawy.

Simon? Grayson in the post-match press conference, vented all his anger on Bonfred's naught, Neymar this unsuccessful guy annoyed him, Rafael's injury made him even more unhappy, when he first arrived in Barcelona, but first made a promise to Rafael who was sold in the past when he was at Manchester United, the relationship between the two has already eased in the past four months, Rafael is very stable in the right-back position, and now he is injured, how can he not be angry?

Fortunately, after an examination, Rafael's injury was not serious, it was just a ligament strain, and he could recover after about two weeks of recuperation. Grayson was a little relieved.

Back in Barcelona, Simon? Grayson urgently convened a coaching staff meeting, Rafael is injured, the team's tactics must be adjusted immediately, Montoya's individual ability is not as strong as Rafael, especially in terms of assists, Barcelona's right attack will definitely be affected by Rafael's absence, and some way to make up for it needs to be found here.

Fortunately, Montoya has a stronger sense of team than Rafael, which can be exploited, Montoya is better at timing assists, and he is more connected with his teammates, and in general, Rafael's absence will not have much impact on the team.

After discussing Rafael, the topic fell on Neymar, although the verdict on Neymar's performance has been made in his heart, but Simon? Grayson would like to hear if his team has anything else to say.

Di Vayo, the attacking coach who has coached Neymar for a while, jumped out first: "I was disappointed with Silva's performance, I think he affected the team's overall attacking strategy, and I suggested that he be put back on the bench. ”

With Di Vaio at the beginning, everyone else naturally followed suit, and Lerotale and others also commented on Neymar's performance, although the Brazilian's breakthrough ability is worthy of recognition, his contribution to the team is too small, and the result is ...... The Brazilian was unanimously approved by the coaching staff to play the main lineup! (To be continued......)
