Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man! - Chapter 372
c372 He who wins the midfield wins the world!
Real Madrid has an absolute advantage in bench depth. If you want to say what Real Madrid envy Barcelona the most, it must be the strong depth of Real Madrid’s lineup.
The injuries suffered by Real Madrid this season are no less severe than those of Barcelona. This season, main players such as Ronaldo, Bale, Modric and others have suffered injuries one after another, but Zidane has not been as stretched as Barcelona last season in deploying troops. The main players are absent, but Real Madrid always has bench players standing up.
This season, as many as 19 Real Madrid players have scored goals in the game, while the number of Barcelona players who scored is 11, which actually reflects the gap in the strength of the two teams on the bench to a certain extent.
Although Barcelona made crazy signings in the summer, in fact, only Umtiti can really stand in Barcelona, and Alves’ departure from the right back position has basically left Barcelona with no right back to replace.
Compared with Real Madrid, Barcelona’s bench players’ performance on the field is also unsatisfactory, and Enrique’s substitutions in the game are unlikely to bring substantial changes to the team.
For teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona that are fighting on three fronts and hope to win the championship on all three fronts, using bench players for rotation is very important to maintain the team’s combat effectiveness.
For Real Madrid, which has many soldiers and generals, this is no longer a troublesome problem. However, when Barcelona faced the third-level La Liga team, Hercules, they sent the team’s bench but were tied by the opponent, which also forced Enrique to arrange some main players in the second round.
There is no doubt that Barcelona lost again in the battle of lineup depth.
For the two giants of La Liga, confrontation is eternal, while strength and weakness are temporary, but as of now, in the battle of hard power between the two teams, Real Madrid will be better than Barcelona.
But football is not static, and the competition between the two teams will not end with the two derbies.
The battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona has always been the most focused drama in football in recent decades.
The rise of La Masia and the arrival of the Dream Team have given Barcelona enough voice in La Liga to compete with Real Madrid, the official team, and La Liga has gradually revealed a trend of two giants competing for hegemony.
Although Atletico Madrid has also wanted to get a piece of the pie in recent years, although Atletico Madrid is strong, there is still a little gap with super teams like Real Madrid.
People always compare Barcelona and Real Madrid intentionally or unintentionally. Barcelona has the Dream Team, Real Madrid has the Galacticos, Barcelona has the Iron-blooded Pu team, and Real Madrid has the loyal Raul.
Barcelona later had MSN and Real Madrid also had BBC, but fans always compare these two mortal enemies, and their respective fans want to prove that their team is more powerful.
Barcelona has also pressed Real Madrid to the ground for several years, and their faces are almost worn out, but Real Madrid is really unmatched in the European arena.
I have said so much just to say that Barcelona and Real Madrid represent their respective governments and nationalities. Every battle is a good opportunity to make their own people proud. Their strengths must be distinguished. Of course, whether they can be distinguished or not is another matter. Today, we will only compare them without distinguishing between the two!
Forward: Real Madrid has BBC, Barcelona has MSN!
According to the statistics of “AS” last season, when at least one of the BBC combination was not in the starting lineup, Real Madrid won 9 and tied 1 in 10 games. Among the opponents they defeated, there were many strong opponents such as Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, and they only tied with Las Palmas.
In the 9 games where the three BBC players started at the same time, Real Madrid’s record was much worse, with only 5 wins and 4 draws. In the games against Villarreal, Eibar, Dortmund and Legia Warsaw, Real Madrid failed to take away 3 points.
At the same time, when BBC started all the games, Real Madrid lost 12 goals in 9 games, averaging 1.33 goals per game and 3 goals per game. When BBC failed to start all the games, Real Madrid lost 9 goals in 10 games, averaging 0.9 goals per game and averaging 3.2 goals per game.
In contrast, MSN 14-15 season: 122 goals in 151 games, Messi 58 goals in 57 games, Neymar 39 goals in 51 games, Suarez 25 goals in 43 games, and MSN has scored 126 goals for Barcelona since 2015, including 44 goals and 22 assists for Messi, 41 goals and 22 assists for Suarez, and 41 goals for Neymar.
As for this season: As of last night’s match against Villarreal, MSN has now reached 101 goals.
Of these 101 goals, half belong to Messi.
Messi scored 51 goals, including 35 goals, 11 goals, 4 goals and 1 goal in the league, Champions League, King’s Cup and Spanish Super Cup respectively. Luis Suarez is the second-highest scorer in the team. He scored 26 goals, 3 goals, 4 goals and 1 goal in the league, Champions League, King’s Cup and Spanish Super Cup respectively.
Neymar scored 16 goals. He scored 10 goals, 4 goals and 2 goals in the league, Champions League and King’s Cup respectively. Last night at Camp Nou, MSN entered an invincible rampage state.
Messi scored twice, and each goal was wonderful.
Messi first scored a powerful low shot after passing two people, and then scored a very beautiful spoon penalty.
Neymar broke the deadlock with a goal-bound shot, and before the end of the game, he used a god-level lob to help Suarez create a penalty.
Before creating the penalty, Luis Suarez scored a strong volley after a forced breakthrough.
The BBC trident has only scored 40 goals less than SN.
C Ronaldo began to accept rotation (C Ronaldo is also old, and there are European wars to play) Benzema’s state is ups and downs, Morata’s goal efficiency is much higher than the Frenchman.
Why not?
Zidane’s method is really hard to understand, Bale! Oh~~ I hope injuries stay away from football.
From the comparison of the first season and the data of this season after the game last night, the forward line is like this, who is better and who is worse, no comment.
The midfield includes the defensive midfielder, the attacking midfielder, the midfielder, and the left and right wingers is an extremely important area.
As the saying goes: He who controls the midfield controls the world. A few years ago, Barcelona was more than just the world. They attacked and defended, counter-robbed on the spot after losing the ball, and regained the ball in 8 seconds. The possession rate of 30% to 70% in every game was just like playing.
Maybe it was because the Barcelona midfield was too brilliant at the time, coupled with the unique midfield triangle of Habab and Baibu controlling the ball and passing it to find opportunities, and the frontcourt MVP, Henry, and Eto’o ended the battle. In those years, there was almost no iron bucket formation that Barcelona could not break.
When Xavi’s departure was a foregone conclusion, the Dream Team III eventually faced disintegration. The former bragging was endless, and it was time to look at our current group of young men.
The first to bear the brunt was naturally AG, who was highly valued but still performed unsatisfactorily: high appearance, high height, high price, as an attacking midfielder, Gomez was still very good in the two seasons he played for the Bats.
He played 78 times in total: 63 leagues, 8 King’s Cups, 4 Champions Leagues and 3 European Leagues.
In the game in which Barcelona defeated Valencia 2-0 in 2015, AG performed well and attracted much attention, and then came to Barcelona. Although he is an attacking midfielder, you are young and you have room for transformation.
After buying such a group of players, the positioning of Dansu was originally to be repurchased as a rotation player. Although Rafi has been in the team for many years, his performance is obvious to all. Although he is amazing, he is still not very useful.
Enrique signed Gomez as the fourth player in order to transform you. Enrique has to leave his mark on Barcelona. Xiaobai, the old age of the professor has made Barcelona’s midfield overwhelmed. Turan seems to be more comfortable playing in Neymar’s position compared to the midfield.
The style of play of the bad chicken has also become a foregone conclusion. It is enough and easy to use. There is only one bad chicken, and he has to praise Messi, attack and defend. How tiring!
So Enrique’s transformation of Gomez came into being.
After watching so many Barcelona games, Enrique’s transformation of Gomez is very targeted. To put it bluntly, he is the next Busquets.
Where is this? This is Barcelona, one of the top teams in the world. Just like what Wang Tao and Sun Baojie said in the last game: This is a team where the coach adapts to the team instead of the team adapting to the coach. Not every player has his own system. Players are not adapters that can be used casually. This is not your playing on the wild court.
The most complained about ag now is that the style of play is soft. This is already a well-known thing. There is a delicate dribbling, insufficient overall view, and no good forward transmission ability.
However, Ag plays with confidence, vision, and pattern. He is good at protecting the ball, confronting, advancing, and transferring. He is definitely not an ordinary person that Barcelona values.
Gomez has not yet fully integrated into Barcelona, but his double goal last time was a good start.
Rakitic: The passing and control of the rotten chicken is not stable enough. To be specific, in the process of passing and running, he does not have the ability to guide the attack of the top midfielder. Rakitic is suitable to be a deputy, responsible for protecting behind Messi and protecting behind Roberto after he advances. The midfield hardness and coverage area that he can provide are currently unmatched by anyone in Barcelona.
Rakitic’s shooting skills are not bad, and he has a certain long-range shooting ability. The accuracy of Rakitic’s transfer ball can be regarded as upper-middle. As an organizing midfielder, it is very good. But Rakitic’s defensive position, in fact, Barcelona should not have let Fabregas go in the season when Xavi was leaving.
What the rotten chicken lacks is the passing ability of Fabregas.
However, the trash really loves Barcelona, which is obvious to all fans. As long as he can play, he will definitely fight hard. This is also the reason why many fans have “hostility” towards him after ag took the position of the trash chicken.
Rafinha: This Alcantara is second to that Alcantara. In fact, the current Rafi can no longer be completely regarded as a midfielder. Rafi is more of a right winger who replaces Messi after Messi retreats, and provides offensive width for both wings with Neymar.
Rafi is a Barcelona youth player, and it is not without reason that he has not started much in the first team for so long. His running position is a little anxious and lacks a big picture.
But he is young, and his upper limit is not low. It is still great to get rid of the ball and advance, but it is not stable enough, and he is a little too sticky to the ball, but it is enough as a rotation player.
When the former coach Emery came to Sevilla three years ago, he probably didn’t expect that he would win the Europa League for three consecutive years, breaking the record of Juande Ramos (current Malaga coach, who had previously led Sevilla to win the UEFA Cup* predecessor of the Europa League for two consecutive years), and also got a high-paying opportunity to go to Paris Saint-Germain.
So will Sevilla face turmoil in the new season after losing its coach and captain (captain Koke transferred to Bundesliga Schalke 04)?
In fact, after 2000, Sevilla returned to La Liga under the leadership of old coach Caparros, and experienced the short-term glory of Juande Ramos, as well as the “unsatisfactory” season results of Marcelino (current Villarreal coach), Manzano (current Shanghai Shenhua coach), and Mitchell (one of the Five Eagles of Real Madrid, currently unemployed).
But the team has never fallen out of the European competition group.
This is all thanks to Sevilla’s sporting director Monchi, the only person who has not changed his position in the past 15 years in the new season (he has survived 3 presidents and 9 head coaches).
From Alves, Baptista, Fabiano, Kanoute to Krychowiak, Gameiro, and vice-captain Koke who left the team this summer, they are all the result of Monchi’s long-sleeved skills in the transfer market. .
The battle between the two teams has been the most talked-about drama in football in recent decades.
The rise of La Masia and the arrival of the Dream Team have given Barcelona enough voice to compete with Real Madrid, the official team, in La Liga. La Liga has gradually revealed a situation where the two heroes are competing for hegemony.
Although Atletico Madrid has also wanted to get a share of the pie in recent years, although Atletico Madrid is strong, there is still a certain gap between them and super teams like Real Madrid.
It can be said that Monchi can be regarded as the source of Sevilla’s competitiveness. However, the club’s senior management lacks the determination to further challenge the La Liga order in decision-making, which also limits the possibility of Monchi achieving greater achievements.
Portuguese goalkeeper Beto, who returned to his home club Sporting Lisbon this summer, would never have thought that he could win the competition with “Squidward” Diego Lopez, but actually gave up his main position to two players due to injury. Young players Sergio Rico and David Soria, who are nearly 10 years younger than themselves.
The 22-year-old Sergio Rico entered the first team in 2014. During that season, he gradually established himself as the main goalkeeper while Beto was recovering from injury. Moreover, Rico is a local player in Seville and comes from his own youth team. training.
After Navas left the team, the club finally found such a banner that could be cultivated and established for a long time.
The 23-year-old David Soria started his playing career in the youth teams of Real Madrid and Leicester City. He only came to Sevilla Athletic (Sevilla B team, promoted to the Spanish Second Division in the new season) in 2013. ), was officially transferred to the first team during the winter break last season, and ended up firmly becoming a starter in the Europa League and Copa del Rey.
They have kept 7 clean sheets in 13 games and participated in two finals (Copa del Rey and Europa League). In the new season, these two young players may continue to play alternately in the league and other competitions, but who will be the winner in the end? ?
It’s still hard to tell.
Although he has been with Sevilla for a long time (starting in 2007), Argentine giant central defender Fazio returned to Pizjuan on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League last season in the winter window, but still failed to play many games.
There is also Italian youngster Marco Andreoli, who is on loan from Inter Milan but is basically recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Both central defenders have returned to their old clubs this season (Fazio has been loaned to Roma in Serie A). ).
In this position, Cyber City’s main personnel configuration remains unchanged from last season. French international Rami and Portuguese Daniele Carriso, who participated in the European Cup, may compete for the main center back position.
Lamy’s character and playing style are too irritable. The latter missed most of last season due to injury, but he has played the main role many times since his comeback.
The other main central defender position belongs to the 24-year-old young central defender Kovodzejczak, a frequent player at the French youth level.
Still considering whether to accept a call-up to the Polish national team (his mother is a member of the Polish team and has not played for the French team in international A-level events).
In addition, Argentine center back Pareja, who rarely played last season due to a ruptured cruciate ligament, still remains in the team. The 32-year-old will be a trustworthy and experienced player on the bench.
Sevilla transferred two right-backs in the summer window-vice captain Koke and Diogo Figueras.
Cork was the absolute main force on many fronts last season. His performance has been steadily improving since joining in the 2011-2012 season. More importantly, he scored twice in the Europa League final last season.
However, the Brazilian Mariano performed equally well in the same position.
Cork also competed with right midfielder Vitolo (who took over as vice-captain this season) for more playing opportunities, so the impact of this transfer on the team’s strength is not too great.
Figueras has been a substitute on the right since returning from Genoa on loan halfway through last season.
After he moved to Olympiakos in Greece, the team immediately introduced 29-year-old Argentine full-back Mercado from River Plate.
On the left wing, French defender Trey Moulinas has suffered from constant injuries in the past two seasons. Last season alone, he had 4 serious injuries. He may miss the beginning of the season due to a torn meniscus.
In this way, Sergio Escudero will become the only real choice at left back, and he performed quite well in this position last season.
Due to the departure of Krechowiak (high-priced transfer to Paris Saint-Germain to join Emery) and Banega (free transfer to Inter Milan), Sevilla added quality and weight to the center in the summer window – a total of introductions five players.
Midfielder Kranevite, who is on loan from Atletico Madrid, is the current Argentina international and participated in this summer’s Centenary Copa America. Joaquin Correa and Hiroyuki Kiyotake were core players in their respective teams last season, but these two There are certain health problems.
Kiyotake Hiroshi has not officially participated in the team’s warm-up match due to injury. The last Japanese player who played for Sevilla, Hiroyuki Ibusuki, only played 7 minutes in La Liga.
Although Kiyotake Hiroshi is not at this level, the competition within the team he is about to face is still quite fierce.
Ganso, who is also a new player, was once regarded as the “Santos twin stars” together with Neymar. This is his first appearance in the European arena.
The new coach Sampaoli prefers an organizing midfielder. If Ganso can adapt to the rhythm of Europe, he should have no problem getting a starting position.
Sarabia, a product of Real Madrid’s youth training who joined from Getafe, may become a rotating bench player.
Pivote & Medio centro midfielder and central midfielder.
