Chapter Twenty-Three: Preparing for the Derby

The 2-0 lead was no longer salvage from Girona's strength, and defeat was inevitable, and no matter how much Girona coach Osevio commanded from the sidelines, Girona's players were unable to organise an effective attack to threaten the Espanyol side guarded by Diego López.

In the end, the score remained 2-0 at full-time, with the Spaniard relying on Iglesias' goals and Marc Roca's world wave to defeat Girona at home.

After the game, Hu Xue praised his disciples to all reporters, and said that this is not the final strength of the Spaniards, and the Spaniards will show stronger and better performances than before.

Osevio was not so angry, and after casually dealing with a few words to reporters, he hurriedly left the post-match press conference.

"Haha, hahaha, hahaha, oops, cough cough."

Hu Xuefei was lying proudly on the sofa in the office, holding the local Catalan newspaper, and she was simply happy.

Heck, it's not too much fun to get a league win for the first time.

Hu Xuefei placed the newspaper on his face and prepared to take another nap. Although he was happy, he still had to prepare for the afternoon training, not to mention the days of preparation and study, Hu Xuefei was still physically and mentally exhausted.

Squinting his eyes, although Hu Xuefei wanted to calm down his brain and not think about the joy brought by victory, the approach of the next game added a little nervousness to Hu Xuefei.

The next match seems to be Barcelona, right?

When it comes to the Catalan derby between Espanyol and Barcelona, although it is not as well-known and exciting as the national derby, it can be regarded as another major derby for the Catalans.

Hu Xuefei flew to the Catalan derby in the last game, thinking that the roots of his ears were red, and he was the head coach who beat someone else. Looking back now, if I hadn't been reincarnated, if there was no task in the system, I might have lost my position as Espanyol's youth coach a long time ago.

The system is a sharp weapon for Hu Xuefei, but the system has not yet been fully opened, Hu Xuefei is confused, but he has also thought about what he is, why he has such the ability to dissect the player's ability, and has the ability to affect the player's mental attributes?

This is an unsolved mystery, but he deeply affected Hu Xuefei.

Isn't it, at least he thinks he is not a genius, even if the original owner of the body is a seasoned youth coach who knows football knowledge well, but that's him, Hu Xuefei's memory is okay, but it's not long, in just over a year, Hu Xuefei can remember all football knowledge, and can use it freely, think about it, Hu Xuefei thinks that it is still the influence of the system on himself.

Hu Xuefei had countless cranky thoughts in his mind for a while, rolling around on the sofa for more than 20 minutes, and finally, he decided not to sleep, he can't sleep at all now, his brain is like chicken blood, and his whims have flown to the surface of Mars.

Forget it, let's take a look at Barcelona's tactical arrangements and recent situation in the first two games.

Hu Xuefei got up, casually threw the newspaper on his face aside, and returned to his desk.

"Eh, let me see, Barcelona, the super super team in the Spanish Super League, I'll see what scary players were transferred during the transfer."

"Well, Messi, Nima!"

Hu Xuefei casually flipped through the Barcelona information on the computer desktop, and the first thing that caught his eye was Barcelona's emperor, Leo Messi.

Even if Hu Xuefei didn't understand football in his previous life, the name of Messi's plum ball king is still like thunder. The peerless pride of today's football world, a well-deserved football king.

Hu Xuefei curiously spent 5cp (full exploration by realistic scouts, half of the cost is reduced) to take a look at Messi's ability value,

196,

Ouch, I'll go, the full value of this system is 200, and this plum ball king is 196, if he can still defend, wouldn't it be 250 catapult start? Hit people, hit people, don't look at it, don't look at it.

Hu Xuefei didn't waste time continuing to check the opponent's player profile, anyway, it would be good to watch the story before going home to sleep, and now it is time to focus on what Barcelona has done in this transfer period.

In this transfer period, regardless of the personnel transferred out, just the personnel transferred, Barcelona only transferred 4 players. Malcolm, a Brazilian from Bordeaux with 41 million, is a top right winger with speed and explosiveness.

Hu Xuefei doesn't know much about this Brazilian, he hasn't watched a little Malcolm video, and in terms of information alone, he is another fast horse on the wing.

Hu Xuefei smashed his mouth, and was envious in his heart, Barcelona casually bought a side fast horse for 41 million, and my big Spaniard smashed the pot and sold iron to raise tens of millions, and people are more popular than people.

In addition to the side reinforcements, Barcelona also bought the teenager Artur and the tough guy Vidal for 31 million from Grenho, which are all to make up for the impact of the aging midfield of Xiaobai and others.

Last season, Barcelona's criticized defensive problems, Barcelona naturally can't ignore it, 35.9 million, Sevilla's Lang Gelai can just add another strength to Barcelona's defensive team.

The introduction of 4 people, before and after, spent Barcelona nearly 130 million euros in transfer budget, 130 million euros in transfer budget, Hu Xuefei's eyes are red.

"Ouch, the worth of 4 people is estimated to be the top of my team, my eyes are red, and I am envious." Hu Xuefei supports his forehead, and he really spends money if he has money.

Look at the first two Barcelona games of the season, the opening game against Levante, Messi's hat trick, well, this is normal, after all, it is the king of the ball, 3-0, Barcelona won Levante very neatly. In the second round, the Spanish Football Association set up a national derby, 1-0, Messi again, and Barcelona won by one goal.

"I'm damn, don't you want to be so strong, and let people live." Hu Xuefei racked his brains and couldn't think of how he could win the Catalan derby with the current Spanish lineup.

Thankfully, however, after playing Girona, the first international break of the season came in, and Hu had plenty of time to analyse and come up with a strategy to face the first tough opponent of his career.

Time passed very quickly in Hu Xuefei's intense and exciting preparations, gathering the wisdom of all the first-team coaching staff, and slowly, the tactics and on-the-spot coping strategies against Barcelona were formed.

Hu Xuefei's face, which was tense due to the pressure of preparing for Barcelona, also relaxed.

And at this time, the bad news came one after another.

Manuel, the team's chief physiotherapist, submitted a report to Hu Xuefei that 21-year-old Benfica loanee Alpha Semedo suffered a sprained knee ligament in training and needed to recuperate for five to six weeks.

Hu Xuefei smiled helplessly, one of the few defensive midfielders in the team, he is still young, and he plans to use his good endurance to play the role of a midfielder stirring stick, making it more difficult for the Barcelona midfielder to control the ball.

But the good thing is that there are still 10 days left before the game, and there is still time to adjust the tactics.

"Chopper, Tony, since Semedo is injured, the tactics of the first two games can't be applied to Barcelona, how about playing 442?" Hu Xuefei said to the coaching group not far away, still holding a pencil in his hand, pointing and pointing.

"Yes, but Piatti and Pérez's defensive effect is okay against the middle and lower teams, but against Barcelona, Hu, you have to weigh it carefully." Chopper responded to Hu Xuefei.

Yes, didn't Piatti be trained by me last time, the veteran Garcia can't stand the 90 minutes of running all over the field, but don't be able to attack on both sides at that time, and defend and mess around, this is indeed a problem.

Hu Xuefei's eyebrows were solemn, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure.

"It's better not to have them, Villa and Rosales on both sides, we will pile up the middle and defend the middle." Tony obviously didn't think of a countermeasure, and casually said a solution.

"So, the goal, we're just for one point, right?" Hu Xuefei felt that he could accept it, but he was unwilling, the next game was to face Barcelona at home, Hu Xuefei was unwilling to be so cowardly.

"To be able to pull a tooth out of Barca's mouth, I think it's perfectly acceptable." Chopper did not live in a dream like Hu Xuefei, and chose the option of getting one point very realistically.

Hu Xuefei looked at his watch, there is still a lot of time, there is no need to set the tactics to the death today, and then discuss.

"As the first record, we are discussing and discussing, and there is still a lot of time."

The coaching staff continued to work hard and the team had another bad news, Hermoso had to rest for several days after spraining his ankle during a training match, and at this time, there were still two days to go until the Catalan derby.

Hu Xuefei didn't plan to let Hermoso play behind closed doors for a league match, and at this time, he could only let David Lopez in the team's place and temporarily partner him with Naldo.

On September 15th, another Catalan derby begins.
