24 July 2008.

As Barcelona's bus slowly drove into Murrayfield Stadium, the 37-year-old Pep Guardiola sat there, gazing affectionately at him.

It is the largest stadium in Scotland and is usually used as the home of the Scottish Rugby Union, where rugby matches and Scottish tennis are held.

Hibernian FC fans wearing green jerseys are entering.

Among these people, there are also many Barcelona fans wearing red and blue arrow stripes.

After all, as one of the biggest clubs in the world, Barcelona has tens of millions of fans around the world, and the middle and lower clubs are therefore willing to play friendly matches against the giants.

Not to mention the ability to expand popularity, just the fans who flock to it can bring in a lot of money.

If you lose a few goals and walk with a smile, others can understand if you lose a tragedy.

It's normal to say a word, after all, it's Barcelona.

If you accidentally win, it will be directly and instantly world-famous, and the traffic is just full.

Twenty days ago, Barcelona's meritorious head coach Rijkaard officially announced his resignation.

Barcelona's new head coach is not Jose Mourinho, who has been rumored for a year, but Pep Guardiola, a young coach with little coaching experience.

What he inherited was a "battleship" that seemed to have an incomparably luxurious configuration, but in fact, it had internal and external troubles, and it had not received anything in various competitions for two years.

The Spanish and mercenary factions in the team are at odds with each other.

Among the foreign players, Samuel Eto'o and players such as Ronaldo and Ed Milson are also at odds with each other.

The team missed out on the league title in the final stages of last season, and Real Madrid won the title three rounds early last season, and Barcelona, from the fans to the executive, were fed up with two years without a title.

And Messi, the absolute core of the team, although he has secured the main position before, his status in the team is far from being comparable to that in the future.

He has always had the label of "foreigner".

The conflict between Laporta, the top of the team, and Rosell has intensified, almost to the point of tearing his face.

After Guardiola took office, he corrected Messi and officially established his absolute core position.

and began to purge the Brazilian gang led by Xiao Luo, and it is already a sure thing for Brazilians to leave Serie A.

But he still needs to win, one hearty victory after another to bring him prestige.

It is enough to suppress these well-known stars and make them completely subordinate to the prestige of their own tactics.

The smaller stadium at the Camp Nou was the first opponent he had to face since taking charge of Barcelona.

And beside him, in the dim light, the Barcelona players sat in their seats.

Listening to songs, gossiping, and making pornographic jokes.

I didn't take my opponent into account at all, which of course was a normal reaction.

Their names are: Valdés, Alves, Pique, Marcos, Eto'o, Gudjohnsen, Hleb, Henry, Pedro, and Messi...

After all, these people will shock the world in the coming year.

...

Hibernian's dressing room was filled with a cheerful air.

Head Coach Mishu. Patleinen's tactical requirements for the players can be summed up in eight words.

It's business as usual, and the game is in style.

Anyway, there is a high probability that you can't beat it, so it's better not to put so much pressure on the players.

In the pre-season warm-up game, the main focus is on warm-up.

If you take it too seriously, carefully arrange your tactics, and mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, you will be beaten up in the end, which will affect the state of the possible players.

Levi sat in the locker room, carefully arranging his sneakers and shin guards.

Listen to the noisy voices of your teammates in the locker room.

Someone slipped into the locker room of Barcelona next door to take a group photo.

Someone made an appointment to get Thierry Henry's jersey.

In the British Isles in this era, the top of the Barcelona team must be King Highbury.

His eyes were very calm, without the slightest wave.

After breathing slowly and evenly, he could hear his heart beating rhythmically in his chest.

A virtual panel slowly popped up in his mind.

One of the countless points of light is constantly flying, dribbling, shooting.

His expression was unruly and his movements were elegant, like an invincible king on the green field.

[Fusion template: John. Cruyff】

Blazing speed, extremely smooth dribbling, scalpel-like passing, running ability to cover the whole court, and balance left and right without backfoot.

Cruyff was almost an all-round fighter with no flaws.

The only two shortcomings may be that his shooting power is slightly weaker, and he mainly shoots from tricky small angles in the penalty area.

The second is that Cruyff is relatively thin on the whole, and his ability to hold the ball with his back and hand-to-hand combat in the penalty area is slightly weaker, and his ability to fight for the top with a header is not a strong point according to him.

And this happens to be what Levi is good at.

Therefore, he was looking forward to what kind of monster he would turn into when he was almost completely crushed by Kesheng, with only a few attributes that could make up for the shortcomings of this template, when combined with Cruyff's abilities.

...

"Pep, what are you waiting for?"

Vilanova, holding a tactical notebook, saw Pep Guardiola standing in the tunnel leading to the players.

At this time, Guardiola is not at the top, the fine stubble extends to the side of the ear and connects with the short black stubble, and the dark eyebrows look a little happy.

Melancholy dark eyes, reflecting the light of wisdom.

"Kid, he called me the other day, I thought he would come to me on his own initiative."

Guardiola snorted and frowned.

"It's rude..."

"Levi?" Villanova immediately guessed it, and the figure of a Chinese teenager came to mind.

"He wants to go back to Barcelona? I'm afraid..."

During Levi's time with the B team, Pep Guardiola and Vilanova were the head coach and assistant coach of the youth team respectively.

At that time, they were coaching the youth team, Barcelona had just been relegated from La B and played in La C, so everything was easier to discuss.

But now they need to steer the behemoth of Barcelona.

Every move must be done with care.

"No, he wants me to intervene for him, he just wants to go to a team that can play and hone himself."

"He's a good boy."

Villanova nodded.

He remembered that he had seen the video of Levi's game when he first arrived at La Masia, and that he was one of those very spiritual players at first, only to be reimbursed for several months after he was tackled his right ankle in a dangerous foot-to-foot maneuver during an intra-team training session.

After healing, although the speed was not greatly affected, the dexterity and ability to change direction were much worse.

In the end, we can only take the path of increasing our confrontation capability.

"Let's go, the game is about to start, and by the way, let's see how he is training."

...

Although the friendly game is claimed to be a dog can start.

However, at the moment, Levi is not part of the Hibernian club's player sequence, so he has not been given the opportunity to start.

He could only sit on the bench for the time being, watching the two teams start to warm up.

The 67,800-seat Murrayfield Stadium had a high seating capacity today, and it was already packed with spectators, with the Hibernian emerald green flag swaying in the spotlight, but there were still too few fans compared to the entire stadium.

Edinburgh's other Soviet Premier League team, the city's rival Hartz, also had a lot of fans.

There were also Barcelona fans and neutral entertainers who came from all over the UK to watch the game.

Singing and whistles echoed throughout the sky.

Hibernian fans are also more Buddhist, and they don't care if they win or lose against a Spanish team, except for a match against a Scottish team.

Instead, watch your familiar faces compete against big-name stars that you can only see on TV.

If you are optimistic, you should look at the Champions League.

The home team Hibernian fielded a formation of 442.

Goalkeeper: Andy McNeil

Defenders: David Van Zanten, Paul Hanlun, Chris Hogg, Rob Jones

Midfielders: Steven Ticott, Joe Keenan, Dean Hills, Alan O'Brien

Forwards: Steven Fletcher, Colin Nish

The away team Barcelona sent the usual 433 formation, which can be described as star-studded.

Goalkeeper: Valdés

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Max, Colcoles

Midfielders: Vazquez, Sergio Busquets, Gudjohnsen

Forwards: Messi, Pedro, Thierry Henry

The likes of Alves, Pique, Cáceres, Hleb and Keita were introduced, while Silvenho and Abidal were sidelined with injuries.

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Friendly matches, so the away team Barcelona kicked off first.

Pedro stepped on the ball with the ball on his feet and gently made it to Vazquez.

The two Levi are very familiar with each other, especially Pedro, who has partnered many times when he was in the Barcelona B team.

Vázquez is certainly not the one that came to Real Madrid, but the product of the Barcelona academy, whose full name is Victor. Vázquez.

Messi on the right side of Barcelona on the field kept moving between the gaps of the opposing players, and the Hibernian defenders next to him tried to stick to him, but his stubby calves were like springs, and he made a few quick steps to appear in a good receiving position.

After the Brazilian left, Messi inherited the number 10 shirt of Barça's glory.

And the No. 30 jersey of the second team when he first debuted is currently worn by Vázquez.

From the very beginning, Barcelona firmly controlled the ball in the midfield, and conducted it in the midfield in a seemingly gentle tactic.

It's like a flexible fishing net, covering people.

If you don't have a flaw, you'll be fine.

And if you are in turmoil and struggle, it will grasp the weakness, and you will immediately be cut to blood.

In particular, the current three midfielders are still dominated by second-team players.

Including Sergio Busquets, it is also in the hands of Pep Guardiola that he really shines.

As for Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Yaya Toure did not play at this time.

It was enough to keep the opponent's midfield firmly in check.

Levi knows this is the beginning of Pep Guardiola starting to inject his football philosophy into this Barcelona team.

Just thinking about it, in the fourth minute of the game, Busquets got the ball and faced two people in the bag, and suddenly turned away with a light continuous pull ball.

The Hibernian formation, which suddenly had two players out of position, immediately opened up a big hole.

Messi stepped forward to catch the ball, and his long-haired head kept turning back to observe.

After observing Alves on the right side, he twisted left and right, and two successive changes of direction gestured to turn around and get rid of the back.

Suddenly, stealthily sniffed Alves with the heel of his right foot.

It was the first tandem between Brazilians and Messi in an official match.

Alves burst down the flanks after winning the ball, and the Hibernian defenders tried to get close to him, but Alves, who was not very tall, was physically fit.

He plunged like a loach into Hibernian's right flank.

With a kick-off cross, the ball crosses an arc and falls into the box.

Centre-back Kroos Hogg carried Thierry Henry, who had already dived into the box, and struggled to clear the ball.

But the ball was not cleared and flew to the edge of the box.

Nordic tough guy John Goodson volleys and the ball refracts into the net in front of the goalkeeper's scrambled save.

In the opening four minutes, Barcelona led 1-0.

It's as if to foreshadow the nature of the game.

A war of annihilation, a mass extinction.
