Chapter 0410, huge pressure, full of friendliness
2010 is the year of the World Cup, and football has become the hottest element of this summer.
The fighting on the green field is exciting. 32 teams gathered in South Africa to present a football feast to fans around the world.
In the final, Spain relied on Iniesta's winning goal to finally defeat the outstanding Netherlands and reach the top of the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that this Spanish team is the national team with Barcelona as its team!
Valdes is the goalkeeper.
Central defenders Pique, Puyol.
Midfielders Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets.
Forward Pedro, Villa.
The overall midfield and backcourt skeleton is mostly dominated by Barcelona players.
Especially Puyol, the anchor on the defensive line, the iron triangle in the midfield, as well as the fast Pedro and the steady Villa on the front line.
They are all loyal to this Barcelona championship.
Villa, the world-class forward who signed with Barcelona before the World Cup started, is the absolute core of Spain's attack.
People say that the structure of this Spanish national team is just that - Barcelona players plus other players.
Except for Real Madrid's Casillas and Ramos, no player can squeeze out the Barcelona players and become the main force in Spain.
The current Spanish national team can be said to have continued Barcelona’s cosmic-level playing style.
Regardless of passing control or personal skills, he is the best in the world and unrivaled.
However, some people question this statement.
Someone raised a question.
Let the current Spanish national team play against Barcelona, who will be the stronger one?
No one can give an answer because the two teams have too many overlapping personnel.
However, most professionals believe that Barcelona is better.
Because except for overlapping personnel, most of the other positions are dominated by Barcelona players who are stronger.
For example, the two full-backs Abidal and Alves are hailed by most fans as the "second left (right) back in the world" respectively.
There are also world-class defensive midfielder Mascherano, talented forward Messi, and the brilliant supernova Bojan.
These players could only sit on the bench, and countless fans lamented that Barcelona was really a waste of resources.
However, it is precisely because of its super deep bench that Barcelona is invincible in multiple battlefields.
In such a Barcelona team, Chang, who wears jersey No. 21, looks very inconspicuous.
Yes, even with the honors of Copa Libertadores, Champions League, and Assists Champion, Chang Ming still looks inconspicuous.
The teammates around me are either World Cup champions, Champions League champions, or even worse, champions of the five major leagues.
With so many honors, how can Chang Ming compare?
So since returning to the Barcelona first team, Chang Ming has calmed down.
Train hard and work hard to improve.
In Boca, Chang Ming is the midfield supernova second only to Riquelme.
But in Barcelona, even Riquelme once failed here.
Not to mention the young Chang Ming.
In the same position, there is a stable iron triangle like Ha Baibu.
There are also substitute players such as Mascherano, Seydo Keita, Victor, Dos Santos, etc.
Not to mention experienced veterans like Mascherano and Keita, even young stars like Victor and Santos are ranked ahead of Chang Ming.
This is normal.
As a newcomer, if you want to make a name for yourself in Barcelona, you must go through difficulties that outsiders cannot imagine.
However, Chang Ming's training and daily atmosphere in the first team are still very good.
Although Guardiola is more cautious in using Chang Ming and clearly told him that he needs to put in 200% effort to play in the new season, on the training ground, the coaching staff headed by Guardiola still has no regard for Chang Ming.
Not treated differently at all.
In view of Yu Changming's technical characteristics, the coaching staff conducted targeted training and training.
In the current Barcelona lineup, Chang Ming may be the player who has had the most contact with coaches and the most training subjects.
none of them.
As an organizational midfielder with excellent passing skills, the improvement of Chang Ming's passing and control skills is the top priority of training.
In daily training, Harvey, in particular, provided great help to Chang Ming.
In Xavi, Chang Ming felt the shadow of Riquelme.
As a midfielder who often pushes forward, dribbling and ball control are also one of the items that the coaching staff specifically helps to improve.
In this regard, Iniesta, Messi, Pedro and other players have given Chang Ming a lot of help.
Bo Yang, who played with Chang Ming in the youth team, is very close to the Chinese midfielder and is one of the best friends in the team.
Chang Ming can take on midfield defensive tasks, so the coaching staff has also worked hard to develop Chang Ming's defensive abilities.
As the team's metronome and defensive iron gate, Busquets is nicknamed by many fans as the "ball-blind filter."
In the midfielder position, he defends with his brain.
In terms of positional awareness, he gave Chang Ming great help.
There is also Javier Mascherano, who has recently joined the team. He already likes Chinese elements and is particularly fond of Chang Ming.
He even took Chang Ming for additional training in the defensive position.
On Barcelona's training ground, this love alone made Chang Ming feel very warm.
This kind of care and love from the seniors to the juniors is the foundation for Barcelona to dominate the world and be called the Cosmos team.
Unity, caring, enthusiasm and hard work.
In such a team, Chang Ming feels huge competitive pressure, but he also feels completely friendly.
On August 22, 2010, the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup started as scheduled.
In the first round, Sevilla defeated Barcelona 3-1 at home.
This game surprised people.
However, those who have watched the details of the game may have some understanding of Barcelona's defeat in this game.
Because of the World Cup in the summer, many of Barcelona's main players are in poor physical condition.
In the season after a World Cup year, players who performed well in the World Cup often fare poorly.
In order to avoid this situation, Guardiola played most of the young and substitute players in the first round on August 15.
Bojan, Keita, Maxwell, Adriano...
Xavi, Villa, Puyol and other players sat on the sidelines.
But Barcelona performed very poorly in this game.
Under Sevilla's crazy attack, loopholes frequently appeared in his defense.
Three goals were conceded, including player errors.
In addition, weak offense was also one of the factors leading to the defeat.
Guardiola was furious and sent out all the main players in the second round!
In the end, relying on the strong performance of the iron triangle in the midfield and Messi and Villa on the front line, they won a 4-0 victory.
Barcelona won its first championship of the season.
Barcelona fans rejoice!
Chapter completed!
