Chapter 207: The First Person in Healthy Football!
In the 05-06 season of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 5:1 in the first leg and ended the suspense early.
The happiest players are the youngsters in the squad as they have a good chance of playing when they return home.
This also includes Zhu Biao, who has completed the registration together with Adriano and is eligible for the next game.
But at this time, there are already four non-EU players in the Barcelona first team, of course Zhang Gongzi is one, Messi actually does not have the status of an EU player, and now Xiao Luo has left, but Adriano and Zhu Biao are coming, so there are four non-EU players in the first team.
This makes it mandatory for Barcelona to drop one of the four players before each game, as La Liga rules that only three non-EU players can be included in the squad per team per game.
If it was under normal circumstances, Zhu Biao would definitely be the one who was sacrificed.
But a week later, Barcelona returned to home, and Zhu Biao unexpectedly got the chance to start.
This is because Zhang Gongzi didn't even enter the list, and he even went to shoot advertisements for his endorsement brands during the day.
Catalan fans will naturally not be dissatisfied with this, and Zhang Gongzi scored a hat trick in the first game, killing the suspense of the whole group of matches in one fell swoop.
Now that the outcome of this garbage game has been decided, he would have a problem if he still played.
Besides, they will be playing the UEFA Super Cup in five days.
So in this game, Barcelona simply sent a full bench lineup -
Front: Henrik Larsson (84, 1971, 178cm), Adriano (85, 1982, 189cm), Quaresma (87, 1983, 175cm)
Midfielders: Maniche (87, 1977, 173 cm), Motta (87, 187 cm in 1982), Messi (83, 1987, 170 cm).
Back: Fernando Navarro (83, 1982, 179 cm), Alvarez (87, 1979, 182 cm), Oleg (86, 1980, 187 cm), Zhu Biao (78, 1986, 185 cm)
Goalkeeper: Valdés (88, 1982, 183cm).
Barcelona's lineup is not a dish, but it is a pity that Zhu Biao has suddenly become the most crotch-pulling existence here from the most conspicuous new F4 in the Macau team.
"Heritage!"
Zhang Desheng returned home after a busy day, turned on the TV and looked at Barcelona with this full bench lineup, and he couldn't laugh a little, because Zhu Biao, the only one in the starter who was less than the 8 series grade, really made him a little depressed.
But for fans in Asian countries, the focus is on Zhu Biao, who is almost as young as Messi, but can already start in official matches for a giant team like Barcelona.
That's awesome, isn't it!?
Japan, South Korea, and Isa don't have such young giants, right?
There are already two of them in the Macau team!
From which point of view does this really score, Zhu Biao is not a substitute in this game, but a direct starter!
Rijkaard also really gave face, and Zhang Gongzi felt that it was a better choice to arrange Zhu Biao to play as a substitute.
But as soon as he joined the team, he got the same treatment as Messi, which really depends on Zhang Gongzi's face.
This will be three years older than Zhu Biao, but the Mexican prodigy Santos, who is still in the B team and waiting for opportunities, is actually because of Zhu Biao's indiscriminate entry and directly lost the opportunity to enter the first team, because he is also a non-member of the European Union.
So, what does it mean for a person to ascend to heaven?
At this time, Zhang Gongzi perfectly interpreted this sentence!
However, the final result of this game did not satisfy the Catalan fans, as they actually lost 1-2 at home to Real Betis.
In this game, although Barcelona played as a full substitute, their overall strength was definitely above Real Betis.
Many of the players in Barcelona's squad don't look like they are substitutes here, but they can be absolute starters when they go to some of the giants who have been in average recent conditions, so it is obviously a bit unreasonable to say that they can't hold the home field.
At this time, referring to the ratings given by several major media, the worst performance of the whole team is naturally Adriano, who wasted a lot of opportunities, and the ratings of various media are basically 5 to 6 points (10 points).
And the best player in this game is naturally Messi, who has just turned 18 years old.
The Argentine's talent and quality are unquestionable, and his breakthroughs and balls, especially in the process of creating damage, created plenty of attacking opportunities for the team in this game.
Zhu Biao also received a high evaluation of 7 to 8 points in this game, and his steady defense and active back-set offense were quite good.
But his excellent play has a lot to do with Messi's ultra-efficient breakthrough in-cut, and Messi is happy to cooperate with his teammates, frequently cutting into the middle to attract defense and then giving up the side, which directly makes Zhu Biao's back-the-back attack face very light defensive pressure, and even Messi's wonderful play has greatly reduced his pressure on the defensive end.
So even if Zhang Gongzi doesn't like Messi in his heart, he has to admit that people who can have the ability to impact the throne of the ball in the future can't find fault if they are simply put on the court.
Zhu Biao admired Messi anyway, and even had an inferiority complex, in addition to the fact that the other party was one year younger than him, he thought that European giants had such talents.
Adriano was naturally the most depressed at this time, because he couldn't find the feeling of scoring a goal throughout the game.
He still has the same impactful style of play, but today his running, breaking, and confrontation always seemed a little reluctant, and his shooting was too impatient and lost his crosshairs.
Not to mention making the ball for his teammates, basically the ball passes to him as if it has fallen into a black hole.
This is also Messi and Quaresma are on the verge of breaking Real Betis into a sieve, but in the end, only one of the 10 shots created by the team for Adriano was in the woodwork.
In the end, it was Maniche's follow-up shot that saved Barcelona's respect, otherwise they would have been a clean sheet in this game!
"The speed of action is obviously slow, the acceleration is also a lot slower, the flexibility of the body is also reduced, even the confrontation is not so good, the balance of the body is not maintained enough after each confrontation, which makes the technical movements always deformed and not neat enough!"
Zhang Gongzi can see it clearly, he can naturally see a large number of Adriano's core physical attributes, which are reduced to varying degrees compared to last season.
And these declines in physical fitness have made Adriano unable to find the rhythm of playing in the past.
This is also easy to explain, because the summer is too indulgent and lacks self-discipline, so Adriano is obviously a little overweight and has a less attractive body fat percentage.
This makes his explosiveness decrease, and then he will have a feeling of weakness when he does any movement, and his acceleration and action rate have decreased on the court, making it difficult to continue to attack with the ball.
Similarly, his poor weight and body fat have caused his body flexibility and balance to decline, which leads to the fact that once there is a physical confrontation, although he can still rely on his weight and a certain foundation to suppress the opponent, he cannot continue to act as unaffected after the confrontation, which causes his follow-up actions to often be deformed because of this, especially the dribbling and shooting crosshairs are completely uncontrollable.
Therefore, Adriano kept wasting chances throughout the game, but could not create many chances.
Although he still has 85 combat power, which is not low, but the sluggish state makes his instant combat power continue to decline.
In the end, when he was replaced by Rijkaard, who couldn't bear it, his instant power was only a pitiful 81!
And after such a bad game, Adriano naturally lost the starting qualification for the time being.
This also made him even more depressed, and he didn't arrive at the training ground on time for the next few days, and he was only half an hour late for each training session, and even once Rijkaard actually smelled a strong smell of alcohol from him?
This professional attitude made Barcelona's coaching staff very unhappy, and Rijkaard even removed him from the squad after two warnings to no avail.
This was not only because he was annoyed by the opponent's training attitude, but also because Adriano was too indulgent off the field, which caused his physical condition to obviously not meet the requirements of the game, and he was actually 5 pounds heavier than the physical test at this time?!
Barcelona's players are also disgusted by this Brazilian talent, because no one likes this kind of casual guy, and the more capable and high-status the star, the more they hate this kind of teammate who can't hold up the wall.
And this disgust can naturally be felt by the sensitive Adriano, which also makes him even more self-defeating.
He began to feel that no one in the world was treating him well, that his teammates at Inter Milan were ostracizing him, and that his teammates at Barcelona were bullying him and targeting him...... These people are all nasty ghosts, and the only person in this world who loves him is gone......
Well, that's speechless!
But in Adriano's world, he is the one who is excluded, hostile, and bullied by everyone for no reason, in short, it is the world that is wrong, he is just a child who is hurt by the world.
This attitude, which has begun to give up on himself, will naturally cause him more trouble.
But no one expected that the trouble would come so quickly, a Catalan media exposed a news that made the whole region start to hate Adriano before the "European Super Cup" was about to start - he actually gave the medal of the "Spanish Super Cup" to a wine girl in a nightclub!
That's right, Adriano, who felt that the whole world was squeezing him out and embarrassing him, actually gave his medal to a bartender in a nightclub.
The girl knew Adriano and put the trophy up for auction the next day, only to be found by a local tabloid and bought it for 2,000 euros.
Now the fans of the whole Catalonia began to be disgusted with this nasty ghost who did not respect them, and even extreme fans rushed to the sidelines during public training, cursing Adriano loudly, telling him to hurry back to Brazil and Italy!
Zhang Desheng naturally didn't comment on these things, but he was also a little depressed, because he wanted to use Adriano for another season, and then keep Barcelona and Messi.
But I didn't expect that after coming to Barcelona, this bastard actually gave up on himself in advance, so didn't he also give him a pit?
This may affect his plan to leave in style after winning the "five crowns" or even the "six crowns".
Therefore, he has decided to let the team quickly loan this bastard after the "European Super Cup", and must not let him destroy the harmony in the dressing room.
Of course, Adriano doesn't have the ability to affect anything, because both old players and new players will be very disgusted with him, after all, giving the honor that the team has won after collective efforts to give the wine lady is simply a humiliation to everyone in the team!
Adriano's move has made it impossible for him to gain a foothold in this team, and even the Brazilians in the team will no longer bother with him.
So on August 24, when Barcelona traveled to Monaco for the 05-06 season of the "UEFA Super Cup", Adriano was no longer in the team's squad.
This year's UEFA Super Cup was still held at the 20,000-capacity Stadio Louis II in Monaco, and this time the two protagonists were Spain's FC Barcelona and Russia's CSKA Moscow.
These are the two teams that won the European Cup and the UEFA Cup respectively last season, and this single-game European competition is also a necessary piece of the puzzle to theoretically win the "six crowns" and "seven crowns".
Barcelona's highest goal this season is naturally an unprecedented "six crowns".
They have already won the "Spanish Super Cup" first, and if this "European Super Cup" can also be obtained, it will already have two crowns in hand.
Next, if we win the league, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and, of course, the Club World Cup in December, we will be able to achieve an unprecedented six crowns.
This is also the most trophies that a La Liga team can win, and the Premier League can theoretically achieve an even more outrageous "seven crowns" because of one more domestic cup competition.
Of course, there is no real difference between the "six crowns" and the "seven crowns", and whoever can get it once will be able to become a European giant even if it is an upstart like Chelsea.
Barcelona have such a great goal, and naturally there will be no reservations about this kind of game involving the championship, and all the main players will definitely be present in this game.
Football fans all over the world are still looking at Barcelona, because even if you don't count Adriano, the number and quality of stars in this team are currently the number one team in the world.
And their opponent, CSKA Moscow, naturally can't find a few familiar names, and fans outside Russia basically don't know a single player.
But this team is not weak, at least much better than Real Betis, after all, it was last season's UEFA Cup winners.
However, in the face of Barcelona, the Champions League champion, even if CSKA Moscow has many powerful players, they are at a disadvantage in their skills at their feet, and today they can only rely on stubborn defense to look forward to Barcelona's counterattack.
However, even if they have the opportunity to counterattack, they are still a little behind in this kind of ultra-high-intensity game, especially at the critical moment, and it is difficult to grasp the few scoring opportunities.
The fans in Russia are very upset about this, because from their point of view, these players are usually very good players, but how could they play so hard today? Why are there so many mistakes? Why is it so hard to handle the ball?
This one is simple, because the opponent has changed!
CSKA Moscow's previous opponents have mostly been teams in the Russian Premier League, and the strongest opponents they have faced are those teams in the League Cup.
But the intensity of these teams is not on the same level as Barcelona, so the sudden increase in offensive and defensive intensity naturally makes some players who originally looked good suddenly become commonplace.
The technical movements that they can usually do perfectly begin to deform under higher intensity and pressure!
Barcelona didn't have a lot of ease with CSKA's bucket formation, but they managed to take the lead thanks to a free-kick from Zhang Gongzi late in the first half.
It is worth mentioning that this free-kick was created by Maniche for him.
This season, Zhang Gongzi thought that Iniesta should be on the throne, but he still underestimated Maniche's form.
This Portuguese character player is naturally inferior to Iniesta in terms of breakthrough ability.
But he is more versatile than Iniesta, especially when playing hard battles, he can always play well and give some surprises!
So in this one-game battle, Rijkaard still used Maniche, who was in good shape, as the starter.
He also lived up to expectations, helping Zhang Gongzi, who was still walking a lot, before the end of the first half, to create a well-placed free-kick opportunity.
In the second half, Zhang Gongzi naturally continued to stroll, walk, and watch the excitement.
In his first game at Real Betis, he was second only to the goalkeeper in the team in terms of distance after the game, and he only ran 5,500 meters in that game.
Playing CSKA Moscow today, he is estimated to have run even less.
But don't find fault with Zhang Gongzi, because after the CSKA had to attack in the second half, he, the No. 1 ADC in football, completed the explosive output of one pass and one shot in 20 minutes!
This explosive ability directly collapsed the Russians, especially in the 74th minute of the second half, after he assisted Shevchenko with three assists in the counterattack to move the score to 3:0, many beautiful hairy girls who have not yet been blessed on the scene cryed that called a pear blossom with rain!
In the end, when Zhang Gongzi was replaced in the 80th minute, his running distance stayed at 4,900 meters, and he really didn't even run 5,000 meters?
But really no one dares to find fault with him in this regard!
If he plays like this, let alone running less than 5,000 meters, even if he can't run 3,000 meters in every game, as long as he can score goals every game, as long as he can help the team win the championship, then he can walk around, walk, and watch the fans every game!
"That's right, our goal this season is to win everything and win everything!"
Zhang Gongzi smiled happily at the press conference after the game, because this kind of data can be brushed and healthy, and in the end, the credit is all his football, he really likes it!
