Barcelona have four league games and two Champions League games in September.

It's not a tight schedule, but the 9th is the international break.

At this time, the World Cup qualifiers on all continents are underway, so in the league against Sevilla on the 11th, in addition to the European players dragging their tired bodies back, Ronaldo will still be waiting for the flight to Spain with Belletti in the waiting hall of Brazil.

So in this game against Sevilla, Rijkaard can only change a large group of rotation lineups.

Fortunately, Zhang Gongzi is still alive!

He has not played at national team level this month, which is too crucial for Barcelona.

Today's Barcelona starter -

Frontcourt: Henrik Larsson (84, 1971, 178cm), Zhang Desheng (91, 1985, 183cm), Oliveira (87, 1980, 183cm)

Midfielders: Andres Iniesta (83, 1984, 171 cm), Motta (85, 1982, 187 cm), Quaresma (86, 1983, 175 cm)

Back: Van Bronckhorst (86, 1975, 177 cm), Edmilsson (87, 1976, 185 cm), Alvarez (87, 1979, 182 cm), Oleg (85, 1980, 187 cm).

Goalkeeper: Valdés (86, 1982, 183cm).

What is a big team?

Barcelona's bench gives the answer!

So many people can't play because they have participated in the national team, but Barcelona, after rotating most of the squad, has not declined much in overall strength!

The most awesome backline in the rotation lineup has seen a slight drop in individual ability, but their overall height has risen a lot, which is likely to be better defensively against some of the corresponding teams.

Their opponents today are not a weak team, especially in recent seasons against Real Madrid, who have a very high win rate and can be called Real Madrid killers.

But against Barcelona, Sevilla are always the ones to be killed.

It was the same today, with a similarly disorganized Sevilla not only failing to take advantage of the personnel, but even suffered a bigger loss due to the international break, because their bench was not as luxurious as Barcelona's.

Zhang Desheng's abusive attributes happened to attack again in the away game, so less than 5 minutes after the start of the first half, he received a pass from Quaresma with an outside instep, and he didn't know if it triggered any fetters, so he didn't stop the ball and volleyed directly outside the penalty area with an instep volley, and in front of Alves, he used a kick to make the "Juan Stadium" explode on the spot, and successfully opened the door of Sevilla!

After that, things were easy to do, the chemistry of this Barcelona team was not high enough, but their individual ability was there, and everyone began to move Sevilla's defense through passing combinations, and then passed and passed to make the opponent tired.

In the end, poor Sevilla FC became Barcelona's ATM again, even at home and still scored three goals.

It is worth mentioning that Messi was replaced in the 79th minute of the second half, and he replaced Quaresma, who had not yet played well.

Zhang Gongzi really made several goals for this little brother, but unfortunately Messi, who is only 17 years old, is indeed too far behind in terms of athleticism and foot skills, as well as archery and awareness.

In these more than 20 minutes of play, although he has made several successful passes, he has a strong sense of separation from the team's overall attack, the speed of the ball is not fast enough, and the passing vision is not good.

Everyone can see that the little guy is working hard, but the little guy does look a little ignorant and immature, to put it bluntly, it is not professional enough!

This also caused Barcelona to play a lively game in the last ten minutes, but as long as the ball was handed to Messi, the attack would not rain.

But fortunately, Messi does not stick to the ball, and there are no major mistakes, and the ball sense is top-notch at a glance, and the upper limit of breaking through the dribbling is visible to the naked eye.

These are very important for a young player at the big clubs because it means that the next time the team gets a chance, they will give you the opportunity to play and practice.

In the end, with Zhang Desheng's pass and shot, Barcelona easily won the La Liga powerhouse Sevilla away from home.

It is worth mentioning that he was an absolute one-man leader today, but he still won away from home, and at the same time contributed an incredible volley outside the instep volley in the game, which made his reputation in Catalonia rise again!

This ball was also replayed by sports channels in many countries around the world the next day, and I have to say that his fairy ball is indeed too visually impactful, and the key is that it is almost unique.

Except for Zhang Gongzi, there is really no one in the world who can often play this kind of fucking goal.

At most, everyone will have one or two kicks in their lives, but Zhang Gongzi can often contribute this kind of thunderous goal, which is completely different.

Barcelona didn't have time to dwell on a league win, and the day after the train back to the city, they boarded a plane to Glasgow, Scotland's largest city.

The group for this year's Champions League group stage has already been decided, with Barcelona in Group F with AC Milan, Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Of course, this group is not a group of death, AC Milan will not mention it, Barcelona has an absolute advantage in hard power against Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Therefore, in the eyes of the media and fans of Barcelona, there is little suspense about their group qualification, and the only uncertainty is whether they can beat AC Milan to qualify first in the group?

After arriving in Glasgow, Zhang Desheng first conducted a physical fitness assessment, and the result was that his physical fitness was very abundant!

He really doesn't feel tired, and although his current fitness attributes are not high, that's just the absolute value of his fitness reserves, which can only affect a single game.

But his physique determines that his recovery ability is very good, so Zhang Gongzi's ability to play two games a week is even stronger than many teammates with physical attributes over 90.

This kind of physique is likely to be useful off the field as well.

Although there is no clear explanation for his system, Zhang Gongzi has done a lot of experiments in this regard, and concluded that physical fitness and physique are really effective off-the-field.

Physical energy outside the field naturally determines the length of a time; And his physique determines how many times he can come a night.

If he improves his physical attributes to 90+ in the future, then Zhang Gongzi will not only be able to play 120 minutes of games, but his attendance will also be terrifying!

At the same time, he's going to be almost invincible off the court, and he's going to really be a fucking monster!

Celtic, the opponent of the first game of the Champions League this season, as one of the two giants of the Soviet Super League, is also one of the only two teams in the Soviet Super League.

The Celtic and Glasgow Rangers of the Soviet Super League can basically be understood as the low-profile version of the top three in the Portuguese Super League.

Of course, Barcelona still don't need to look up to the other side too much, they just need to be properly serious.

It was a bit of a pity before the game, because Shunsuke Nakamura hadn't gone to Celtic this season, so the gimmick of the "Asian Derby" was gone, otherwise his motivation would have been much stronger.

Celtic's side naturally knew that they didn't have the capital to fight hard with Barcelona, so they were practicing defensive counterattacks two months earlier.

To be precise, it should be a dense defense!

That's right, they just put the bus.

In this game, on the offensive end, the Scots basically only have the old routine of long passing, and there are no ground advances in the whole game, and the connection between the midfield and the midfield and the midfield is almost completely disjointed.

What, you say your teammates can pick it up? Who cares!

This kind of Chinese team's style of play is also a helpless move, Barcelona directly put the combination of Xavi + Iniesta in the midfield, plus Xiao Luo and Jiuli who retreat to get the ball from time to time, this kind of ball control efficiency is too much more than the Scots.

It's not that they don't want to control the ball in the midfield, but the problem is that they can't control it!

Barcelona have tried to defend high-pressure this season, although it is not as perfect as it was later, but with the defensive ability of the players and the advanced nature of this tactic, the Celtic group of players simply cannot stand it.

But it doesn't matter if they are hung up and beaten, they resolutely put a bus at the door.

This is also the most realistic tactic for Celtic, which is to defend completely and wait for Barcelona to make a mistake.

If they can rely on the bucket to draw with Barcelona and AC Milan, it is definitely an acceptable result.

If the opponent is impatient under the onslaught, and then reveals the flaws and is caught by them, so as to sneak attack and win a victory, it is the best result of Xi Da Puben.

In the end, even the bucket formation couldn't hold it, but as long as they didn't concede too many goals, they could actually accept it.

This is also the strategy of the Celtics, they have to shamelessly put the bus against those two giants.

If the other side can make mistakes, it is best to make mistakes, and if they don't, they will focus their energy on those two real life-and-death battles with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Not to mention, Porto's success in the first two seasons has indeed allowed these non-giant teams that can play in the Champions League to find a way to go further.

Of course, most of these teams only learned a bus.

But how to make this bus stronger, and even have the ability to kill with one blow while defending it, is still Mourinho's skill.

However, it is difficult to do just a bus, coupled with the fierce defensive actions of the opponent, and the law enforcement is somewhat of a home whistle, which makes Zhang Desheng have to put some energy into preventing injuries.

So Barcelona had a lively first half, but in the end they couldn't break through Celtic's obviously not very top-notch bus defence.

Rijkaard was somewhat unhappy at half-time because he could see that none of the stars were playing with their lives.

But the question is, who will fight hard in a group stage!

When you were the "Dutch Three Musketeers", were you willing to give it your all in this kind of competition?

In the end, it was the young Iniesta who was the most honest, went up in the second half and fought hard, and finally helped Zhang Desheng create two well-placed free kicks after being tackled to the ground several times.

But Zhang Gongzi wasted it all, I didn't expect it!

But this can't be helped, this season's Zhang Gongzi is already very top in free kicks, but no matter how awesome a player is, it is impossible to score one after three or four goals!

In fact, as long as the number of free throws goes up, then there are no players who have a free kick percentage of more than 20%, but any goal conversion rate that can exceed 15% is historic.

Today in the first half, he had a free kick directly on goal, but after pretending to be forced for a long time, he directly kicked an anti-aircraft gun!

In the second half, Andres Iniesta created two free-kick opportunities for him, and even Ronaldo also created a goal for him, but all four shots were missed.

This made Zhang Gongzi a little unbearable, because his first two La Liga games combined for 5 free kick shots, and the result was also no hit!

The Scottish fans at Celtic Park have begun to choreograph songs to mock his 0-for-9 free-kick stats for the new season.

But these people forget how much it costs to anger a superstar!

In the 77th minute of the second half, Celtic still had a long pass with a big foot and was snatched back by Barcelona.

Xavi instigated the team's counterattack in the midfield, Ronaldo retreated to respond, and Barcelona's midfield star made a clever connection, and the football went around and around to Zhang Desheng's feet.

Zhang Desheng suddenly turned away after holding the ball with his back, and a set of dazzling small steps shook down Swedish defender Stephen Henkz on loan from Liverpool.

Stephen Henkz has good balance, and even if he is shaken, he can get up quickly with both hands and feet.

But he can catch up again not because he is tenacious enough, but because Zhang Gongzi needs to use him to create the next breakthrough space.

After Stephen Henkz was shaken down, the Celtics' defense immediately surrounded Zhang like a shrinking pocket.

Zhang Desheng did not play the ball early this time, but used Stephen Henkz, who had regained his catch-up to defend, to interfere.

Stephen Henkz lost his positional sense for a short time after scrambling back into the defensive position, at which point he actually clashed with his teammates who were outflanking the defense.

So Zhang Desheng was ruthless, and took advantage of his unstable foothold, and actually shook him down again.

And this time, when he shook Stephen Henkz down again, he actually blocked teammate Bobo Balde, who came to the defense.

Zhang Desheng accelerated and was forced to overtake Bobo Balde, who was a beat slower after the delay.

At this time, the Celtic backline was instantly torn out by him, and with the acceleration ability of 90 under the conventional combat power, Zhang Desheng did not give other Celtic defenders a chance to make up for the defense, and directly went to the penalty area to form a single knife with Swedish goalkeeper Heideman.

At 194 cm tall, Heideman is a little clumsy and not very good at hitting the ball.

Zhang Desheng rushed to Heideman with the ball, stabbed directly before he could react, and then humiliated through the opponent's small goal, easily scoring this wonderful pure individual goal.

Rijkaard jumped up from the bench on the sidelines and shook his fist with the seven substitutes in celebration!

At this time, the Barcelona fans in front of the TV were all shouting loudly!

Zhang Desheng's goal is too much of a personal ability, and at the same time it is too exciting!

This kind of dull game that seemed to be holding urine for 77 minutes finally made the entire Barcelona fans vent with Zhang Gongzi's outbreak, and then there was an unprecedented comfort!

Zhang Desheng also made his trademark "siu!!" for the first time after scoring a goal in the Barcelona jersey. ”

This time, the fans of Barcelona are more comfortable.

Zhang Gongzi's prestige and influence have naturally risen a lot again!

But no one thought that they had paid such a big price just so that someone could stand up in such a stalemate!

Zhang Gongzi just did what he was supposed to do, but Barcelona fans didn't know why, they were particularly moved and excited by every goal he scored, as if his goals were more noble than others!

In the final ordinary 1:0, Barcelona successfully passed the test away from home.

But the whole process was actually much more thrilling than this result, and they were literally almost sealed off by a bus that was not airtight.

This made Rijkaard secretly determined, they must find a way to break the dense defense, otherwise it will be so difficult to play a Celtic, if it is really against a team that is good at defending, it will be really difficult to do.
