The early morning sun in Madrid is so sunny that you don't feel the chill of late autumn at all.

In the bedroom where the curtains were still closed, Qin Xiong sat on the edge of the bed and read today's newspaper, with the breakfast prepared by the nanny in his hand, reading the newspaper while enjoying it.

He doesn't usually have these habits.

Breakfast is also handled by Sylvia, but Sylvia is now snoozing, and the due date is getting closer and closer, Qin Xiong naturally can't let her overwork, so he hired a nanny, and now there is a personal doctor and nurse living in his villa.

If there is any emergency, someone can respond correctly in time.

Qin Xiong reads the newspaper reviews of last weekend's La Liga with great interest, and sometimes the professional reviews in the newspapers are still very meaningful.

In his hand is the newspaper Marca.

"Barcelona is now like a power train and is moving at full speed under Pep Guardiola, winning seven in a row that includes four big wins: 6-1 wins over Sporting Gijón and Atletico Madrid, 5-0 against Almeria and 4-1 over Malaga, scoring a total of 27 goals and conceding just six, reaching the top spot in La Liga for the first time in two seasons.

Barcelona's crazy form is easily reminiscent of Real Madrid last season!

Destroy the opponent mercilessly like Real Madrid, not only to take away the victory of the game, but also to take away the dignity of the opponent and nail the opponent to the pillar of shame!

It may not be said that Barcelona was reborn, but it is certain. Even if Ronaldinho and Deco are gone, the main frame is still the player used in the Rijkaard era. Because this change is from the locker room. A radical change from inside the players to outside the pitch. The key to this is Pep Guardiola's arrival.

After the 4-1 win over Malaga on the mud floor, Marcos said: 'We're completely different from last season. The new coach has given us a lot from the moment he takes over the team, especially mentally. Everything is different now, the players are ambitious again, the coaches are new, the players are new, and we have a new era. ’

On the day of the match against Malaga. Much of Spain was plagued by heavy rainfall, and it was not until an hour and a half before the game that the rain gradually subsided at the Rose Garden Stadium.

Referee Velasco wanted both sides to overcome the difficulties of the field and continue to play, and the Málaga man then entered the field and found a relatively less waterlogged turf to warm up, while the Barcelona players were not in a hurry to warm up, but in the area with the most waterlogged area, the starters gathered together for a small meeting.

The players repeated Guardiola's technical and tactical requirements, and were mentally prepared to face difficulties. Don't underestimate this detail, in the following games, the Málaga people found that most of the players sent by this Barcelona team were technical streams. But there was no ambiguity in terms of physical confrontation, and Barcelona committed a whopping 24 fouls in the game. That's five more than Malaga, who have committed the second most fouls in La Liga's first eight games.

Malaga had just won four consecutive La Liga games and were in high spirits, and coach Tapia admitted: 'We want to play with the Barcelona coach in rainy weather, because we have trained the players physically, we hope that the pitch will offset their technical superiority, and then look for opportunities with the sling. ’

They did it at one point, and it didn't take long for Xavi to open the scoring before Duda took advantage of the chaos to equalise.

However, the Málaga man clearly did not learn from the experience of the likes of Sporting Gijón and Almeria, as such a tactic gave Barcelona too much space up front, and despite the poor conditions, the Barcelona players found a way to score from set-pieces.

After that, both Messi and Alves took advantage of free-kick opportunities to complete the scoring.

Xavi sums it up: 'Our set-piece tactics have improved compared to before, we practice a lot in training and who takes the penalty depends on the situation on the pitch, but against Malaga it was mainly me and Alves. ’”

Putting down the "Marca", Qin Xiong thought thoughtfully, he didn't go to watch Barcelona's games recently, but by constantly reading the comments of the battle report, coupled with Barcelona's crazy momentum, he thought it was necessary to watch Barcelona's games more during the break to understand how this team had changed!

In his third year at Real Madrid, Qin Xiong experienced the different philosophical differences between Barcelona and Real Madrid in their development and construction.

Barcelona have their godfather, Cruyff, but Real Madrid don't have such an important player who can push for club reform behind the scenes.

Since the beginning of the season when Cruyff supported Guardiola, Qin Xiong has paid more attention to Cruyff's moves, and he feels that this is also an experience, which may not be very useful now, but maybe it will be useful in the future?

Picking up another newspaper and finding Cruyff's column, Qin Xiong continued to browse.

'Pep Guardiola is a low-key manager. After losing to Poland's Krakovia (0-1) and Numancia (1-0) before drawing with Racing Santander (1-1), many said that Pep Guardiola was nothing more than a coach who had just been promoted from the third division.

At that time, I used to say that this Barcelona team was doing well, but my words drew ridicule from a lot of people.

Now, some of them are touting what Pep Guardiola is a magical coach.

Others were ashamed of their previous remarks and stopped talking.

After two months and eight or nine wins, people began to compare the current Barcelona team to the "dream team" of the year. For fans and the media, such a topic is understandably entertaining. But for Pep Guardiola, the comparison is outrageous.

Fortunately, Pep Guardiola knows how to deal with such extreme optimism, as he has had a similar experience himself. In his opinion, the better the situation is, the more cautious the team should be.

After a 5-0 away win at Basel in Switzerland, Pep Guardiola said such a result would not necessarily be good for the weekend's league campaign. And after the 5-0 win at home to Almeria, he once again called on the club and the fans to keep a clear head.

He is well aware that the season has only just begun and the team has not yet won any honours.

You have to be careful when you frequently receive praise from all sides, because in such a situation, it is easy for you to believe what others say and lose your mind.

I'm not talking about the coaches, I'm talking about the players. Now, Pep Guardiola has a heavier task as he not only has to lead the team to good results, but also does his best to keep the players from outside praise.

Anyone wants to work in a smooth environment, but if everything goes too smoothly, people tend to get lost.

The first thing that will be affected is the individual, then the team as a whole. Football is a team sport, and if some of the individuals lose their way, the team's performance as a whole will decline.

You know, it's just the beginning, and sooner or later the team will suffer setbacks. Over the course of an entire season, any team will experience at least one period of slump.

If a team wants to make a difference, they can only go through two slumps at most.

Therefore, the key question is not whether there is such a downturn, but to try to shorten the duration of the downturn and reduce its impact on the team's performance.

Winning doesn't mean playing well, and losing doesn't mean playing badly. The analysis of the team should never be based on the score of the game.

Expectations for the future should be based on the short and medium term, not on a good performance in the past game. ”

For some reason, Qin Xiong felt refreshed after reading Cruyff's column.

The godfather of Barcelona is very good, and it can even be said that some of the situations in it are reversed as the disadvantages that are happening at Real Madrid.

It's no wonder Barcelona was able to burst into a resurgence at its lowest point.

After Qin Xiong got dressed, he walked to the side of the bed and kissed Sylvia, who was still asleep, on the cheek, and then he left the house.

Today, he is going to report to the Real Madrid training base and officially return to the team to participate in training! (To be continued.) )
