Chapter 6: The style of the new captain

In the afternoon, Simon? Grayson announced the appointment of the team's two captains, and to his surprise, the first-team players did not react at all to the appointment of Shaq as captain and Cesc Fabregas as vice-captain!

Simon? Grayson could tell from the expressions on the faces of the players that his appointment really didn't cause any dissatisfaction at all!

What's going on!?

Don't...... These players are already convinced by Shaq's kid!?

Simon? Grayson is really a little puzzled, but he really guessed wrong this time, although Barcelona's "left-behind gang" has recognized Shaq's personal ability, but they don't think it's a good thing to let an outsider who is not from the La Masia academy be the captain, but now they have to accept the fact that the head coach and the top ten stars who came as outsiders have indeed dominated the Barcelona team, after all, Shaq, Ganso, Rivero, Ben? Parker, El Shaarawy, Batista, Kovar, Mark, Ayew and Krisetig are indeed strong as a whole, and Barcelona cannot do without the help of these people if they want to regain their former glory.

And...... Who is left in the real La Masia lineage of Barcelona at the moment!?

Valdés, Montoya, Giménez, Busquets, Vasquis, Cesc Fabregas, Bojan...... It's just seven people!

Even if these seven players are really qualified to play the main team, only Fabregas, Montoya, Busquets, Vasquiz, Bojan are just a few people, and Barcelona will probably have to wait many years to play as a descendant of La Masia as they did at the beginning.

Since the locker room is divided into two or even three factions, for the sake of the team's results, Barcelona's descendants voluntarily gave up the fight for power under the persuasion of Fabregas, and Shaq's personal ability is indeed excellent. If he can return to Barcelona to the level of scoring more than 100 goals in a single season, then no one will be unconvinced by him as captain, not to mention that Fabregas is also the vice-captain, and La Masia's descendants still have the right to speak.

On a dull note, the Barcelona dressing room completed the change of power, and Shaq, who was appointed captain, was not affected. He was already vice-captain when he played for the Red Devils, captain when Wayne Rooney wasn't playing, and later became world champion with the Three Lions, and Shaq is now very confident.

During this time, Shaq had a bodyguard and driver to pick him up after training every day, and then the family of three would start to play in the city of Barcelona, familiarize themselves with this new city, and live a dull and fulfilling life.

On the morning of August 26, when the whole Barcelona team took the team bus to Alicante. Shaq was still leaning back in his chair and savoring the warmth of his daughter's pee on him in the morning, and Fabregas, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke: "Shaq, today's game is your real debut, how is it?" Do you have the confidence to score a goal? ”

Shaq turned his head to look at Cesc Fabregas and smiled: "Francisco, do you think scoring goals requires confidence for me?" ”

Belch!

Cesc Fabregas couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Shaq, he originally thought that Shaq would be a little nervous when he played for the giant Barcelona for the first time. But after seeing Shaq's expression and listening to Shaq's words, Fabregas suddenly realized that he was really thinking too much............

Shaq used to play for the "Red Devils" Manchester United. Later, he led the LinkedIn Gran team to win the European Cup, the Confederations Cup, and the World Cup, and successfully ascended to the throne...... A generation of football kings...... How could he be nervous!?

"Ugh! Never mind! ”

Cesc Fabregas shrugged his shoulders and said self-deprecatingly: Shaq, maybe in your heart, Barcelona's position is not as important as Manchester United or even Leeds United. But she ...... in my heart It's the ultimate protection for which I'd rather give everything I do.

Sixteen years ago, when Fabregas was still an ignorant teenager who was training in La Masia's academy, he had already made it his lifelong goal to retire from Barcelona and protect her until he was old. The same goes for Cesc Fabregas, otherwise he would not have returned to Barcelona at all costs after a few setbacks and would rather accept a pay cut than leave.

After Shaq was appointed captain of the team, Cesc Fabregas spared no effort to help him establish his prestige in the team, and he also thought about how Shaq would lead Barcelona to success and glory again, but ...... Shaq didn't do anything at all!

Cesc Fabregas felt that Shaq should still lead the team forward with goals as before, so he was a little worried about Shaq before the game, and it was really the vice-captain who was worried about the captain's heart.

But Cesc Fabregas is obviously too worried, Barcelona's opponent today Hercules used to be mixed with the Spanish second division at most, this team has only been promoted to La Liga for three years, every season is hard work for relegation, and the team has only invested 8 million euros in the transfer market for a season at most, and most of the rest of the time it is profitable.

Obviously, the Hercules team is a dick team in La Liga, and it is completely incomparable with a rich coach like Barcelona who gathers the support of the entire nation in Catalonia.

Barcelona is sacred to the Catalans, a people with its own language who has concentrated all its passion on her, even if she wants not to be strong.

But even for Simon? Rosell, the most confident team president of outsiders, such as Grayson and Shaq, did not expect his team to perform so well in the first game of the new season...... Amazing!

Jose, home of the Hercules? At the Pérez Stadium, Barcelona entered the era of "Brutal Simon" for the first time fully presented itself to the world.

On the forward line, a generation of football king Shaq is of course alone to support the overall situation, the statistics of the past few years have proved that the most suitable position for Shaq is still a single striker, his comprehensive personal ability and technology, awareness, have determined that as a single soldier in the front of Shaq is the most threatening, outside the penalty area can use "Shak GOAL" to shoot from a distance. Riding a bike, pendulum dribble, seal dribble, Marseille slalom and other passing skills, combined with incredible speed and explosiveness and strong physique, Shaq is often able to create shooting opportunities when facing more than two opponents.

On the two wings a little behind Shaq, Simon? Grayson has Brazilian prodigy Neymar and La Masia's own prodigy Vasquis, both of whom are the kind of players who are fast, agile and skilled at their feet and can cause chaos. Simon? Grayson tasked them with pinning down the opposition's wide defence and preventing the Hercules full-backs from easily supporting the central defence.

Midfield inverted triangle, Simon? Grayson arranged Fabregas to lead Ganso and Busquets, and their requirements are also based on control, Barcelona is not on the same level as the Hercules team in terms of strength, and the local confrontation can make the opponent unable to parry, and the midfield needs control this time.

On the back line, Simon? Grayson used an almost new line-up for Barcelona, with the left-back being Ben? Parker. The two centre-backs are Batista and Rivero, while the right-back is Brazilian Rafael.

This back line has a more distinctive characteristic than being very aggressive...... Expensive!

Root? Parker is worth 40 million euros, Rivero and Batista are all worth more than 30 million, and right-back Rafael was worth 26.5 million euros when he arrived in Barcelona from Marseille, and now his worth has been estimated to 40 million euros, which means that Barcelona's defender line is now worth 140 million!

And today in José? The conservative estimate of the starting lineup of Barcelona at the Perez Stadium has reached 400 million euros!

Despite having a super-luxurious squad, Barcelona are still very cautious in the opening game of the new season. After the start of the game, facing the Hercules team, whose entire team is not as valuable as one of their own central defenders combined, Barcelona did not rush to attack. Rather, it pursues the initiative of the game through control and local small cooperation.

But even if Barcelona weren't in a hurry to attack, their chances on goal came again and again!

In the 3rd minute, Neymar won a set-piece for Barcelona on the right side of the Hercules penalty area, and the penalty Shaq sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area with a curling kick, and his old teammate Rivero, who was inserted from behind, appeared on the ball with a clear understanding, and a powerful header created a big threat. It's a pity that this powerful and fast header ended up high.

After that, Vasquez and Neymar all got the opportunity to shoot, but Shaq, as a lone striker, never shot until the 15th minute, Ben? Parker suddenly attacked from the left. After passing the ball to the feet of Vasquiz in front of the left, the talented teenager from the La Masia Academy did not stop the ball and passed the ball directly into the left side of the Hercules penalty area.

At this moment, Vasquis, known as the "new American", showed his superhuman football talent, and this pass was both sudden and accurate, showing extraordinary football awareness and technical skills.

Of course, such a brilliant pass still requires a good finisher......

Shaq was able to easily see that he was not offside after Vasquith's pass before using his speed to break through between the two Hercules centre-backs.

"Bang!"

In the big penalty area on the left side of the Hercules team, Shaq actually directly used the outside of his left foot to make a low volley, and the ball "winded" towards the lower right corner of the goal!

The ball first turned to the right in an arc, and then bypassed the opponent's goalkeeper, only to spin back because of Shaq's volley with the outside of his left foot, and finally flew back into the goal as if there was an invisible line involved, and drilled into the dead corner of the lower right corner of the goal......

1:0, Barcelona leads away from home!

At this moment, Barcelona's "Left-behind Gang" and goalkeeper Mark, Shaarawy, Battista and other players who don't know Shaq, as well as Barcelona fans who watched the live broadcast of the game from far away, looked at Shaq with open arms, a smile, and calmly strolling in the opponent's big penalty area and hugging Vasques who ran over, and their hearts became excited.

They finally got to know Barcelona's new captain...... Scoring goals, this is the unique way of leading the team forward by Shaq, the "King of the Ball"! (To be continued......)
