Rijkaard's loose management made Barcelona's holiday the longest among the twenty La Liga teams.
The locker room is also very satisfied with this.
After the team regrouped, they immediately headed to the Canary Islands for training.
The reason why I chose this place was not only to avoid the hustle and bustle in mainland Spain, but also a charity event launched by the United Nations Children's Fund, which invited people including Sudong, Ronaldinho, Iniesta and Rio de Janeiro.
Jaccard and other Barcelona players went to an orphanage in Tenerife.
There are orphans from all over the world gathered here, and Su Dong and others have to carefully prepare gifts for these children.
Barcelona's previously controversial chest advertisement was temporarily suppressed by the opposition of fans, but Barcelona management has been seeking a breakthrough. After all, putting jersey advertisements on the chest is equivalent to increasing revenue by tens of millions of euros every year. Who can
give up?
Because of this, Barcelona tried to save the country through a curveball, starting with charity.
I have to say that Laporta's people are quite shrewd.
UNICEF is also happy to cooperate with Barcelona. Not only that, they have also consulted Su Dong through Barcelona before if he is willing to serve as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF. Of course, Su Dong will not refuse.
After attending the event in Tenerife this time, returning to Camp Nou, UNICEF will officially announce the matter.
The first thing Su Dong had to do after taking office was to launch an event with UNICEF, calling on top players to participate in the "United for Children, United for Players" event and shoot a public service video.
It was broadcast on the World Cup in Germany, including on live TV stations around the world.
This is a charity event. For Su Dong, it is also an event that can greatly enhance his influence in world football. He promised to do his best to organize this event and actively contact the world's most influential superstars to participate.
.
…
In the orphanage in Tenerife, Rijkaard brought a lot of clothes, Ronaldinho brought a lot of toys, and Iniesta brought a large car of footballs.
Dongze has prepared a lot of books for children, all of which are popular science and interesting children's books.
Su Dong explained that the reason why he gave away books was because he had believed since childhood that knowledge could change destiny.
"I hope that each of them can learn knowledge from books, gain strength, and change their own destiny when they grow up. I wish them all a bright future!"
Su Dong said it very sincerely, because that is exactly what he thought.
Sometimes he even feels that the reason why domestic football is weak and that no one wants to play football is partly because the future of football is not clear enough, but at the same time it is not without the influence of the saying "knowledge changes destiny".
When everyone wants to change their destiny through reading, who else wants to play football?
…
In addition to the activities of the Tenerife Orphanage and the World Cup public service video, Su Dong also communicated with the person in charge of the United Nations Children's Fund on the spot. He mentioned that there are many poor and backward areas in his motherland, and there are also many elderly people there.
and children need attention.
Su Dong said that he hoped to get help from the United Nations and do his part for those in need of help in the motherland.
The person in charge of the foundation also promised on the spot that he would do his best to help Su Dong facilitate this matter.
And Su Dong immediately began to contact the stars.
Not to mention several stars in the Barcelona team, he is also familiar with the stars from Real Madrid and other La Liga teams. He has contact information for most of them and can just call them directly.
Some of the superstars from other leagues are relatively unfamiliar and need to go around to contact them, but he believes that the problem will not be big.
As for who to choose, it's very simple. Choose based on the rankings of the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer.

While Barcelona is training in the Canary Islands, La Liga's winter transfers officially begin.
Due to limited financial budget, Barcelona did not sign any players in the summer and does not plan to sign any players during the winter break.
However, during his vacation in his hometown, Larsson said in an interview with Sweden's Dagblad daily that he wanted to officially leave Barcelona after the end of this season and return to Sweden to play football.
Barcelona actually still wants to renew Larsson's contract, but the Swedish center is not satisfied with his situation in Barcelona.
The reason is very simple and very disappointing, because he can't get a chance behind Su Dong.
Su Dong is only 21 years old and is at an age where his career is progressing rapidly. He has almost no injuries and is as strong as an ox. As a result, it is basically difficult for Larson to play except for some unimportant rotations and game time.
Su Dong was given an opportunity.
Speaking of which, this is also a very sad thing.
When they both came to Barcelona with the aura of Golden Boot Award, Su Dong and Larsson were not only the Golden Boot Award winners in La Liga and the Scottish Premier League, but also the top two players in the European Golden Boot Award. At that time, many people even
They all believe that it is entirely possible for Larsson to overpower Sudong and become Barcelona's main center forward.
But who would have thought that one and a half years later, Larson would not be able to grab any chance in front of Su Dong.
This made the Swedish center feel depressed, and he also had the idea of leaving and returning to his roots.
Barcelona has not yet officially responded to Larsson's request, but there is a high possibility of complying with his wishes, and the team will need to introduce another substitute forward by then.
…
Besides Larsson, Giuly is another player who is not very satisfied with his situation.
The French international's position in Barcelona was shaken by Messi, especially in the second half of the first half. Messi basically played the main role in every game, competing with Sudong, Iniesta and Ronaldinho.
Their cooperation is becoming more and more tacit, and the threat they exert is getting bigger and bigger, which makes it difficult for Giuli to see opportunities.
But unlike the 34-year-old Larsson, Giuly is in his prime and has different characteristics from Messi. In addition, Messi is young, so the team still needs Giuly. Therefore, Barcelona has made it clear that
Reject the possibility of Giuli leaving the team.
Rijkaard also promised to give Giuly more playing time in the second half.

After returning to Barcelona from the Canary Islands, Barcelona immediately went to an away game to challenge the Spanish third-division team Zamora.
The strength of this team is not strong. Rijkaard directly hid players such as Sudong, Ronaldinho, Messi and Deco, while the midfielder lined up Marcos Senna and Igne.
The combination of Star and Van Bommel.
Oleg, who had been absent from the center back for a long time but performed well at right back, once again appeared in the center back position. However, I don’t know whether it was because of nervousness or other reasons. He made a serious mistake in just four minutes of the opening, which caused the team
conceding a goal.
Fortunately, Marcos Senna scored two consecutive goals for Barcelona, all of which were long-range shots from outside the penalty area. The new Spanish international finally showed his bloody fangs in front of a weak opponent.
This is also the only game in which Marcos Senna has scored twice in his career so far.
In the end, Van Bommel and Giuly each scored a goal.
Barcelona reversed its opponent 4-1 and won the first round of the Copa del Rey, making promotion basically certain.
…
Marcos Senna's brace earned him a standing ovation.
This Brazilian player, who had just been transferred to the Spanish national team by Aragones, has always been very low-key. He even joined Barcelona as a replacement for Riquelme, but no one expected that he would become more and more outstanding in Barcelona.
outstanding.
Especially when cooperating with technical midfielders such as Xavi, Deco and Iniesta, he is able to do so with ease, which is quite rare.
So much so that the Catalan media are jokingly saying that Sudong’s vision for signings is better than Barcelona’s scouting team.
Messi and Iniesta, whom he recommended, and Marcos Senna, whom he strongly advocated for, have now become the core strength of Barcelona.
World Sports News even joked, "Perhaps we should consider letting Su Dong take over the technical department."

After playing in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona ushered in the eighteenth round of La Liga's local derby and challenged Espanyol away.
After a week of intensive training, the Barcelona players' condition has not been fully adjusted, so the game was not going smoothly at the beginning. Although they had an obvious advantage in possession of the ball, the offense always felt uninteresting.
Even Su Dong, who has always been known for his stability and efficiency, missed two good opportunities in the first thirty minutes.
But in the 34th minute, Su Dong and Messi found a tacit understanding and cooperated in a small area of the penalty area. Messi scored a goal and opened the scoring for Barcelona.
After changing sides in the second half, Barcelona scored in their first attack.
Ronaldinho sent a direct pass from the left. Su Dong succeeded in countering offside. After getting the ball, he formed a single shot and scored from the near corner, 2-0!
Just five minutes later, Deco passed the ball directly behind him, and Su Dong successfully countered offside and scored again with a shot, scoring twice and expanding the score to 3-0!
After that, the two sides fought hard again and again, but no one was able to score again.
Barcelona finally defeated Espanyol 3-0 away from home with Sudong's brace.
…
After adjustments during the winter break and La Liga resuming the war, Barcelona still maintains an excellent competitive state.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is as sluggish as ever.
Rosenborg was dismissed before the winter break, and Sacchi also collapsed. However, the newly appointed head coach Carlo failed to integrate the team well. Real Madrid's first game after the winter break was a guest at the Estadio Estadion, and the final score was zero.
Zero draw with Villarreal.
After this game, Real Madrid's league ranking fell to sixth place. Although it was only three points behind Valencia, which was third in the league, it was still somewhat worrying. It was not known whether the Galacticos could retain their Champions League qualification.
On the contrary, the Osasuna team, after sending away Pablo Garcia and other strong players, is still performing well this season. It is currently ranked second in La Liga, even higher than Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna.
When the team is still high, it must be said that it is also a spectacle.
Although the season is only halfway through, everyone can see that this season's La Liga championship is basically Barcelona's.
At least judging from the performance in the first half, no team can challenge Barcelona's dominance.
In La Liga, Barcelona seems to be alone and seeking defeat.
