Chapter 171: The Point of Running!

Barcelona also sent their full main force. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the past June and July, their overall squad has not changed much, with only two players in the summer transfer, Cesc Fabregas and Alex Sanchez.

The newly appointed Barcelona president Rosell announced at the end of last season that the summer transfer budget was only 45 million euros, and it was surprising to be able to acquire Alex Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas in a row under such harsh conditions.

Udine boss Pozzo once asked for Sanchez "50 million euros, not a word less", and Arsenal changed the unit to pounds is the valuation of Cesc Fabregas, and there is no doubt that Barcelona's negotiations with the two top stars have been difficult and long.

The technical department, led by general manager Subisareta, eventually showed its ability to do its job, and it was obtained at a relatively low price, or "reasonable price" to remove the bubble, which was not the case when Inter Milan smashed it through Ibrahimovic.

Barcelona's proposed contract was based on the bonus money from winning many future competitions as part of the clause to offset the expensive transfer fee, such as Alexis Sanchez, with 26 million euros plus a floating fee of 11.5 million, which is a high amount of floating money and has also made La Liga transfer history.

Cesc Fabregas's fixed transfer fee reached 34 million, with a floating amount of 6 million, but 5 million of them were subsidized by Fabregas out of his own pocket, and the down payment was only 29 million for the club, and the remaining funds were enough to add two youngsters Kiko Femenha and Rodri to the Barcelona II team. ”

"World Sports" analyzed, "Barcelona only introduced two people in the first team, which proves that Guardiola's team formation policy has not changed, and still pursues a small but fine construction route - the central defender is insufficient, Pep trained Mascherano and cultivated it into a de facto third central defender, the right-back lacks a substitute, Dos Santos is on top, as for Keita's all-rounder, it must be Guardiola's treasure." ”

Both new signings are up front, and Barcelona's determination to continue to strengthen their attack remains unchanged.

In the media's comments on the signings, most believe that Sanchez will be an important addition to the MVP team, continue to increase the speed of the wings, and Villa will also have the opportunity to play more center after Bojan's departure, which is the position he is most accustomed to. Cesc Fabregas is not only Xavi's stand-in, in Guardiola's words, "he can coexist with Xavi Iniesta", playing "No. 4" or a midfielder, and even as a stand-in for Messi, Pep has a plan and is gradually experimenting.

Barcelona are also very aggressive in purging, and young Lamencia players like Bojan and Romeu, who need game time, are willing to release on the premise that they receive a reasonable amount of money, on the condition that a buy-back clause is added to the transfer contract to ensure that they do not suffer losses in the future. And Milito, a substitute with a high salary but not many appearances, decisively ended his contract and sent him away, saving salary while also giving more playing time to Fontas, Munesa and Thiago, who had just been promoted, and never wasting the resources of the second team.

Overall, Barcelona have done a lot of work in terms of transfers, they do big things with little money, and the media is more optimistic about Barcelona's transfer than Atletico Madrid's practice of selling core Sergio Aguero at a high price and spending a lot of money on reinforcements.

However, whether the transfer is good or not depends on the results of the game.

Now it's time for the two teams to decide the winner!

After the opening of the game, both sides began to test constantly, both sides were trying to find the state of the game, and in the first ten minutes, both teams worked defense and were very cautious in attack, so the opening game was not hot, and the number of threats to attack was also very small.

Gradually, the two sides launched an offensive.

Both teams are the most technically advanced, with no expense in attack, and the most luxurious line-ups on both sides are also in midfield, so the intensity of the pitch is understandable.

Barcelona still play the same old way, constantly passing, passing, always controlling the ball at their feet, passing forward when they have the opportunity, making a successful tentative pass, and then it is likely to directly threaten the penalty area and the goal.

This style of play is a headache for many teams.

Last season, in the face of Barcelona's style of play, Wan Sheng also had to let the team stick to the goal, but now it is different, the team's staffing is more reasonable, and the overall strength is stronger.

Whether attacking or defending, Wansheng is confident that the team is not weaker than Barcelona.

So Wansheng asked the team to strengthen the midfield scramble, and do defensive response normally, as long as Barcelona is put enough pressure, they can't always make mistakes, as long as they make mistakes, the opportunity may become Atletico Madrid's.

This kind of defense depends on luck and the performance of the players of both teams, but luck in professional football is very important, as there is a saying, "there is no such thing as a 100% winning game".

When it was discovered that Atletico Madrid did not desperately defend the penalty area, but let go of the formation and scramble, Barcelona felt that there were many opportunities.

They threatened in the 17th minute when Andres Iniesta broke down the flank and crossed straight to Messi, who slotted past Godin and fired a powerful shot past David to almost find the back of the door for David De Gea.

There was a sound of inhalation from the audience, and the fans who supported Atletico Madrid broke out in a cold sweat.

Wan Sheng sat steadily.

He did not change even the slightest bit of his face because of the threat Messi created in front of goal.

Football matches are already very tense, if the opponent is nervous with a shot, the coaching profession does not need to continue, otherwise the mood will continue to fluctuate, it will be too dangerous.

In the next five minutes, Barcelona threatened twice in a row, and Atletico Madrid seemed to be undefended, without dense defense, without targeted blockades, and completely left Barcelona to play.

This scene made Guardiola feel puzzled in the future, he felt that Atletico Madrid should not play like this, otherwise wouldn't it be certain to lose?

Guardiola was a little confused, but he quickly understood.

In the 26th minute, the Barcelona midfielder kept passing, Xavi made a small mistake, he played a little big, and it was successfully tackled by Morris.

The football rushed to the feet of Raul Garcia.

Raul Garcia passed Kevin De Bruyne diagonally, De Bruyne rushed forward quickly with the ball, Iniesta ran too far forward and had no chance to defend at all, left-back Abidal was defending alone, he didn't take De Bruyne in his eyes, but the real defense found that it was very difficult to grab the ball.

Kevin De Bruyne sprinted straight to the baseline before he dunked the ball over and lifted it high with his feet just when Abidal thought it was going to pass.

Football straight to the right penalty area!

Diego Costa rushed over, he rushed to position to unload the ball, then turned his back to Pique and turned and volleyed!

The soccer ball sprints into the far corner!

Valdés made a good chance of saving the ball, and the ball bounced off the post and flew off the line.

This time it's the Barcelona fans' turn to breathe!

――――

The threat posed by Kevin De Bruyne and Diego Costa did not seem to be seen in Barcelona's eyes, and they continued to push forward normally in search of opportunities, but Atletico Madrid's defense was still solid, although Atletico Madrid did not stick to the penalty area, but the defensive formation was still difficult to break through.

There was a five-minute 'peace' period for the next game, but soon with a wave of frontal progress from Atletico Madrid, Ozil's sudden outburst became tense again.

This time, Mesut Ozil chose to link up with Morris.

The two played for Manchester City and then at Atletico Madrid together, and they worked together so well that the ball was pushed into the corner of the box in just three passes.

In the face of Alves' defense, Ozil raised his left foot again, Alves subconsciously felt that he still had to pass the ball to Morris, and his body leaned a little inward, but Ozil chose to continue to rush forward along the sideline, leaving Alves directly behind.

After breaking through Alves, Ozil cut inside quickly, slammed inside and shook off Puyol before he opted for a cross.

The ball rushed to the penalty line in the middle of the goal.

Raul Garcia on the heel ran to the position, he swung his right foot directly against the ball, but Messi next to him kept interfering, Garcia's chance didn't look great, but what Messi never expected was that Garcia did not choose to shoot, but ...... Keep passing!

Garcia's right foot swung high and landed softly, and he used his inside instep to push the ball towards the right side of the box.

On the right side is the ...... Kevin De Bruyne!

――――

Kevin De Bruyne is full of surprises!

Since he was a child, many people regarded him as a talented player, but as he grew up and had some achievements, De Bruyne was absolutely mediocre, he performed well in the Belgian league, but after all, it was only the Belgian league, and the gap between the world's top leagues was not small, he knew that he had to adapt again when he went to other leagues, and his luck was not bad, Atletico Madrid, or rather, the young coach who was very famous in Europe and even the world, named him to join Atletico Madrid.

After the transfer was made official, more Belgian fans regarded him as a genius and believed that he would definitely become a top star in the future.

Kevin De Bruyne is also very optimistic about the future, but after coming to Atletico Madrid, he found that many of his teammates are no worse than him, and perhaps he can quickly occupy the main position, the biggest reason is not ability, but position - in the whole team, he is the only one who is a pure right midfielder.

In order to perform better, Kevin De Bruyne has been training hard and wants to adapt to the team's tactics as soon as possible, but J Rodriguez, who is also a new Colombian teammate and a young player, is even more talented than him, and the opponent is growing at a visible rate of improvement, which also makes Kevin De Bruyne very stressed.

The current team is still satisfying for Kevin De Bruyne, but it is the first time he has been exposed to such complex tactics, and he has been slow to adapt.

Over the past half-month or so, Kevin De Bruyne's fastest growth has been in his running into the box.

In many teams, the wing-backs are exactly the wingers of the past, and unless they play individually, they rarely run into the box and do the work of the strikers and central midfielders.

This is also the reason why many full-backs score very few goals.

Kevin De Bruyne was previously seen as a future star when he was in Genke's first team, always the best on the pitch, he had more freedom and occasionally made cameo appearances as a striker, but he only scored five goals in 22 games last season, and he has always positioned himself as an assister and has little hope for goals.

Now that he is at Atletico Madrid, adapting to the complex tactical system, Kevin De Bruyne feels like his head is big, but after listening to the old players in the team, he has focused on running, especially into the box.

As a wing-back, it's very easy to just run back and forth, even if you have the ball, you can choose to take it yourself or combine it with a team-mate in the middle.

The run to the penalty area is different, it is run according to the team's overall formation, the important thing is not to compete with teammates for position, and not to let the team's attack have holes.

Kevin De Bruyne has focused on that area and he's improving fast.

This time the results of the training are out!

Raul Garcia just followed the tactical routine to pass the ball, and he subconsciously felt that someone on the right side would follow, but the moment of passing was already regretted, because on the right was Kevin De Bruyne - a newcomer to the team.

How hard is it for newcomers to adapt to tactics?

Raul Garcia has had an experience, he himself has been slow to adapt, and when Reyes played on the right side, he didn't adapt to it for more than half a year, let alone a newcomer.

But Kevin De Bruyne is following!

When he saw Kevin De Bruyne in the right place, Raul Garcia was surprised and surprised.

Kevin De Bruyne was so excited that he rushed towards the ball, suppressed his excitement, glanced at the goal, and swung his right foot directly behind the ball.

Let's go inside!

"Kevin De Bruyne-!!"

A full-back ran into the box and shot at goal, it was a bit unexpected and very threatening, every Barcelona player was aware of it, but it was too late for them to stop it, the only thing they could do was pray in their hearts that the ball would not go in.

It's a pity that God didn't stand behind Barcelona!

Kevin De Bruyne was just over 10 metres from goal, while goalkeeper Valdés was deceived by Raul Garcia and was still on the other side, simply not having time to adjust his position.

The ball goes straight to the near corner of the goal!

The moment Kevin De Bruyne completed the shot, the hearts of everyone on the scene were lifted.

Atletico Madrid's fans were overjoyed, while Barcelona fans were desperate.

No matter what the fans think, they can't stop the ball from flying towards the goal!

Valdés didn't have time to save, he stood on the ground and waved consciously, but it didn't make any difference at all, and he could only watch the football fly in. (To be continued.) )
