Barcelona's opponent in the first warm-up match was the Danish team East Jutland.
In the first half, Rijkaard played with half of the main lineup. Except for Ronaldinho who participated in the Confederations Cup, basically all other players returned to the team, including Messi who participated in the World Youth Championship.
Goalkeeper Valdes, defense line Van Bronckhorst, Edmilson, Puyol and Belletti, midfielder is new aid Van Bommel, Deco and Xavi in the center, frontcourt trident, Igne
Star replaced Ronaldinho, with Sudong and Giuly occupying the center and right respectively.
Due to being away from the game for a long time, the players' bodies were seriously not in their best condition, which led to their poor performance after the start.
Van Bommel played the most active role, frequently jumping in to participate in the attack, showing his ability to be both offensive and defensive.
In fact, the Dutch midfielder is not just a midfield defender, many people position him as Xavi.
Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute. Iniesta sent a wonderful pass and assisted Su Dong to score.
Just seven minutes later, Van Bommel dribbled the ball and passed it straight to the goal. Su Dong easily pushed the ball into the goal.
After changing sides in the second half, Rijkaard changed nine players in one go.
Perhaps influenced by Van Bommel's outstanding performance in the first half, Marcos Senna also performed very actively after coming on in the second half. Not only did he make a huge contribution on the defensive end, but in the 71st minute, he suddenly inserted a cold shot.
After being saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, he hit a follow-up shot to expand Barcelona's score.
Later Larsson also scored a goal.
In the end, Barcelona won the first warm-up match 4-0.
…
The first battle was successful, but after Barcelona started pre-season training, unfavorable news came again.
The first is that Esquero, another player introduced on a free transfer this season, injured his right leg and will be out for at least a month.
This is undoubtedly quite disadvantageous for a player who has just joined.
This 28-year-old native Spanish player can play as a forward and on both wings. He is very fast. He made his debut at Osasuna. During his time at Athletic Bilbao, his attendance rate was very high. Barcelona used him as a substitute.
Players are brought in.
I just didn't expect that he would be injured as soon as he came to Barcelona after playing full attendance for the Basque Lions in almost every season.
This is actually a state of mind.
From a psychological perspective, after players join a wealthy club, the competitive pressure they face will increase. Players will work harder in games and training, and the probability of injury will be greater.
In addition to Esquero, Motta is also an unlucky guy.
This midfielder, who has high hopes for Barcelona, missed most of the games last season and has not yet started this season. He had a sarcoma on his left big toe and had to be surgically removed.
, is expected to be absent for about a month. Whether he can catch up with the new season is still unknown.

Two days later, Barcelona ushered in Denmark's second warm-up match, against Harroth.

Rijkaard is still trying out different lineup configurations of the team and developing a mature and stable style of play, so the lineup is still changing in the warm-up match against Yokohama F. Marinos.
Due to contract reasons, Su Dong played for an hour and scored twice in the first half.
Xavi then scored, ending the first half with a score of 3-0.
After a change of sides in the second half, Barcelona controlled the game but failed to score again. Instead, Yokohama Marinos pulled back in the 77th minute. In the end, Barcelona defeated Japan's Yokohama Marinos 3-1 and won.
Three consecutive wins in the warm-up match.
Although he only played for 60 minutes, Su Dong's performance was still highly praised by the Japanese media.
Japan's Asahi Shimbun commented on Su Dong, saying that he is the most popular Chinese in Japan, which aroused the enthusiasm of countless fans.
"When passing through customs at the airport, there were even many staff members rushing to stamp him. He is the ideal lover in the minds of countless Japanese women, and he is also the most popular superstar among Japanese fans."
The Asahi Shimbun revealed that in recent times, Real Madrid and Manchester United have also come to Japan, but the reactions they elicited are different. For example, Real Madrid's most famous player is Beckham.
"People like Beckham because he is beautiful. Fans pursue him just like they pursue Hollywood movie stars."
"But Su Dong is different. On the day he landed in Japan, the first reaction of all of us was that the best player in the world has finally come to our country!"
"All fans who really like football like Su Dong even more, because he is a veritable superstar who relies on football to speak for himself."
"At the same time, he is also Asia's first World Footballer and double winner of the Ballon d'Or!"
"He is the pride of us Asians!"
It can be said that Su Dong's arrival in Japan was the most sensational thing in itself. As for scoring twice in the game, it did not attract much attention and everyone took it for granted.
…
After playing Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan, Barcelona rushed to Macau, China without stopping.
After a short rest, the fourth warm-up match was ushered in. The opponent was Pengcheng, the domestic top league champion.
Su Dong did not play in this game, but sat on the bench.
Barcelona launched a fierce offensive in the first half, with Iniesta, Larsson and Giuly scoring goals one after another.
In the second half, Su Dong came on as a substitute and Barcelona replaced 11 players on the field.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Within one minute of playing, Su Dong received a pass from Deco, dribbled the ball into the left rib of the penalty area, and scored a goal for Barcelona.
Afterwards, Barcelona launched a wave of offensive.
First, Messi assisted Deco to score, and then in the 57th minute, Su Dong successfully stole the ball from the right edge of the penalty area, broke into the penalty area with the ball, and calmly volleyed the goal, scoring twice, 6-0!
Just six minutes later, Su Dong pulled to the right and sent a cross. Messi volleyed with his left foot from the center of the penalty area, breaking the Pengcheng team's goal and expanding the score to 7-0.

Then the game once again entered the time of Barcelona's mad attack.
In the final stage, Deco made two consecutive assists, first assisting Messi to score, and then assisting Su Dong to score, performing a hat trick and locking the score at 10-0!
Throughout the game, Barcelona suppressed the team in a very awkward manner and did not give the opponent any chance to react.
The Pengcheng team didn't even have a shot on goal. There were only two shots in the game, and they didn't even pose a threat.
Everyone can see that this is a complete defeat!
…
Su Dong was not happy about the ten-goal victory in the warm-up match.
In an interview with domestic media after the game, Su Dong said that the entire Barcelona team took this game very seriously and tried their best, but Barcelona was still in the preparation stage and had not yet adjusted its state and did not perform very well.
Domestic media are very shocked. Barcelona, which is not in very good condition, can massacre the Pengcheng team with ten goals?
What if you are in good condition?
When Su Dong heard this question from the media reporter, he couldn't help laughing, "There is no way to compare football games like this."
It was also during this interview that Su Dong figured out one thing, that is, who was the Chinese player Li Dadi who appeared when he chose the star ability card to protect the ball.
Surprisingly, it was Li Yi and Li Dadi from the Pengcheng team.
The reason why he was ridiculed was because he said something before that he felt that his ball protection was like Su Dong's. Netizens used these words to ridicule him, so they gave him the nickname Li Dadi.
Su Dong also burst out laughing after hearing this, saying that he didn't know clearly.
But after the media interview, Li Yi took the initiative to find Su Dong. When taking photos with Su Dong, he also explained that his original words at the time were not that his ball protection was like Su Dong, but that he wanted to
He said that Su Dong has many things that other professional players can learn from, such as his ball protection.
"What I mean is that any skill you possess can be used by other professional players, especially domestic professional players, for a lifetime. It is worth learning!"
Su Dong expressed his understanding. After all, the media all over the world like to take quotes out of context, and he didn't take it to heart.
…
After the game, Su Dong attended a commercial event held by the organizer.
During the event, the media once again provoked Su Dong to treat domestic teams and massacre them with ten goals. Isn't it too cruel?
As a Chinese, but representing a European team, is it appropriate to bully a domestic club team with ten goals?
Su Dong was originally in a good mood, but after hearing this question, he immediately became angry and immediately accused the media reporters of deliberately sensationalizing and creating conflicts.
"If my team is defeated by such an embarrassing score, my first reaction is not to blame the opponent for not being merciful, but to reflect on what I did poorly and where I did not do enough.
Turn shame into motivation to move forward.”
"Do you think I'm cruel? Then do you know why I came on as a substitute in the second half? If I were there in the first half and Ronaldinho and the others created so many opportunities, do you think Barcelona would only score ten goals?
Ball?"
"Don't use your ignorance and shamelessness to blackmail others! Chinese football is what it is today, and many media like you are also to blame!"
After finishing speaking, Su Dong left the venue angrily, regardless of the organizer's attempts to stay.
After Su Dong left, the obstructive media reporter was immediately expelled from the event.
That night, Barcelona left Macau and returned to Spain, but the incident spread quickly, and domestic public opinion was once again in an uproar.
The championship team of the top domestic league is being beaten like this by Barcelona, and the opponent has obviously left a lot of sympathy at their feet. What else do you want?
The media reporter's difficulty aroused criticism from media colleagues and fans, and Su Dong's words also received support from fans and netizens.
