Chapter 171 The focus of movement!

Barcelona also sent all the main players.

In the past June and July, their overall lineup has not changed much, and the summer transfer has only introduced two players, Fabregas and Alex Sanchez.

Barcelona's newly appointed chairman Rossell announced at the end of last season that the summer transfer budget was only 45 million euros. Under such harsh conditions, Barcelona's transfer is still surprising.

Udinese boss Pozzo once called for Sanchez "50 million euros, a word cannot be missed". Arsenal changed the unit to pound to estimate Fabregas. Scarcity makes things more expensive. There is no doubt that Barcelona's negotiations with two top stars are difficult and long.

The technical department led by General Manager Subizareta finally demonstrated its work ability, and it was obtained at a relatively low or "reasonable price" of removing bubbles. The situation was slaughtered by Inter Milan through Ibrahimovic that year, but it did not appear.

Barcelona's contract plan is to use the prize money for winning the championship in many future events as part of the terms to offset expensive transfer fees. For example, Sanchez, 26 million euros plus 11.5 million floating fees, the high amount of floating funds has also created the history of La Liga transfers.

Fabregas's fixed transfer fee reaches 34 million, with a floating amount of 6 million, but 5 million of them are subsidies from Fabregas. As for the club, the down payment only needs 29 million. The remaining funds are enough to add two young players Kiko Femenia and Rodri to Barcelona's second team. The World Sports joked, "Russel's frugal management can be seen from this."

"Barcelona's first team only introduced two, which proved that Guardiola's team-building policy has not changed, and he still pursues a construction route of few and fine - the central defender is insufficient, so Pep trained Mascherano and trained him into the actual third central defender. The right back lacks substitutes, Dos Santos topped the top. As for a versatile player like Keita, he must be Guardiola's treasure in his palm."

Both new players are frontcourt players, and Barcelona's determination to continue to strengthen their offense remains unchanged.

In the media's comments on the signing, most people believe that Sanchez will be an important supplement to the MVP combination and continue to increase the speed of the wing. After Boyan left, Villa will also have the opportunity to play more centers, which is his most accustomed to position. Fabregas is not only Xavi's stand-in, but in Guardiola's words, "he and Xavi Iniesta can coexist", playing "No. 4" is still a front midfielder, and even as Messi's stand-in, Pep has a lot of plans and is gradually experimenting and implementing it.

Barcelona is also very strong in cleaning. For young people like Boyan and Romeu who need game time, they are willing to release the situation on the premise of getting a reasonable amount of funds, on the condition that the repurchase clause is added to the transfer contract to ensure that there is no loss in the future. Milito, a substitute who is well-paid but has not played much, will decisively end the contract and be deported. While saving wages, they can also give Fontas, Munesa, Thiago and others who have just been promoted more playing time, and will never waste the resources of the second team.

Overall, Barcelona has achieved great results in transfers. They spend a small amount of money to do big things. Compared with Atletico Madrid selling core Aguero at a high price and signings at a high price, the media is more optimistic about Barcelona's transfer.

However, whether the transfer is good or not depends on the results of the game.

Now is the time for the two teams to decide the outcome!

After the game started, both sides began to test and tried hard to find the game state. Ten minutes into the game, both teams put in defence and were very cautious in offense, so the opening game was not hot and there were few threats to attack.

Gradually, the two sides launched an offensive.

Both teams are the top-notch in their skills and spare no effort in offense. The most luxurious lineups of both sides are also in the midfield and frontcourt, so the intensity of the court position can be imagined.

Barcelona still has the same old style of playing, constantly passing the ball, keeping the ball under their feet, and passing it forward when there is a chance, and passing it tentatively successfully. Next, it is likely to directly threaten the penalty area and the goal.

This style of playing has caused headaches for many teams.

Last season, facing Barcelona's style of play, Wan Sheng had to let the team defend the goal, but now it's different, the team's staffing is more reasonable and the overall strength is stronger.

Whether offense or defense, Wansheng is confident that the team is not inferior to Barcelona.

So Wansheng asked the team to strengthen the midfield battle and deal with defensively normally. As long as Barcelona put enough pressure on them, they would not be able to make mistakes all the time. As long as they make mistakes, the opportunity may become Atletico Madrid.

This kind of defense depends on luck, but also on the performance of the players of the two teams. However, professional football luck is very important, as there is a saying, "There is no game with 100% victory." This is the reason.

When it was discovered that Atletico Madrid did not defend the penalty area desperately, but instead released the formation to fight, Barcelona felt that there were many opportunities.

They created a threat in the 17th minute. Iniesta broke through the flank and handed it to Messi directly. Messi waded through Godin and shot hard, almost breaking through the goal of the handle of De Gea.

A breath of breath came from the audience, and the fans who supported Atletico Madrid were sweating coldly.

Wan Sheng sat steadily.

His face changed even a little because of the threat Messi created in front of the goal.

Football games are already very nervous. If the opponent is nervous when he shoots at one time, he doesn’t have to continue to do the coaching profession, otherwise his mood will continue to fluctuate greatly, which is too dangerous.

In the next five minutes, Barcelona created two consecutive threats. Atletico Madrid seemed to be unprepared, without intensive defense, without targeted blockade, and completely allowed Barcelona to play.

This scene made Guardiola feel puzzled in the future. He felt that Atletico Madrid should not play like this, otherwise he would definitely lose?

Guardiola was a little confused, but he quickly understood.

In the 26th minute, Barcelona's midfielder kept passing, Xavi made a small mistake, and he dribbled a bit big, but Morris successfully tackled it.

The football rushed to Raul Garcia's feet.

Raul Garcia made a diagonal pass from Kevin De Bruyne. De Bruyne dribbled the ball and rushed forward quickly. Iniesta ran too far and had no chance to defend. Left-back Abidal was defending alone. He didn't take De Bruyne seriously at first, but it was very difficult to really defend the defense.

Kevin De Bruyne rushed to the bottom line directly, and then he dunked the ball. When Abidal thought it was going to be a big shot, he raised the ball high with his feet.

Football straight down to the right penalty area!

Diego Costa rushed over, he rushed to the position to remove the ball, then turned his back to Pique, and shot directly!

The football rushed to the far corner!

Valdes accurately judged that he had saved the ball, and the football bounced on the post and flew out of the bottom line.

It's Barcelona fans' turn to take a breath this time!

The threat created by Kevin De Bruyne and Diego Costa did not seem to be seen in Barcelona's eyes. After that, they continued to advance normally and look for opportunities, but Atletico Madrid's defense is still very stable. Although Atletico Madrid did not defend the penalty area, the defensive formation is still difficult to break through.

The next game had a five-minute "peace" period, but soon with Atletico Madrid's forward, Ozil's sudden outbreak became nervous again.

This time Ozil chose to cooperate with Morris.

The two played for Manchester City and went to Atletico Madrid together. They cooperated very well. With just three passes, the football was pushed to the corner of the penalty area.

Facing Alves' defense, Ozil raised his left foot again. Alves subconsciously felt that he still wanted to pass the ball to Morris, and his body leaned a little inward, but Ozil chose to continue to advance along the sideline and threw Alves behind him.

After breaking through Alves, Ozil cut in quickly and dunked Puyol away with a bang, and then he chose to cross.

The football rushed to the penalty area line in the middle of the goal.

Raul Garcia on the heel ran to the position, and he waved his right foot directly towards the ball, but Messi next to him kept interfering. Garcia's chances didn't seem to be great, but Messi never expected that Garcia did not choose to shoot, but... continue to pass the ball!

Garcia waved his right foot high and gently fell down, and he pushed the ball to the right side of the penalty area with his inner instep.

Following up on the right is...Kevin De Bruyne!

Kevin De Bruyne was full of surprise!

Since childhood, many people have regarded him as a talented player, but as they grew up and achieved some results, De Bruyne was definitely mediocre. He performed well in the Belgian league, but after all, it was only the Belgian league, and the gap with the world's top leagues was quite large. He knew that he had to adapt again when he went to other leagues and had good luck. Atletico Madrid, or the famous young coach in Europe and even the world, called him to join Atletico Madrid.

After the transfer was officially confirmed, more Belgian fans regarded him as a genius and believed that he would definitely become a top star in the future.

Kevin De Bruyne is also very optimistic about the future, but after coming to Atletico Madrid, he found that many teammates' abilities are not worse than themselves. Perhaps he can quickly occupy the main position. The biggest reason is not ability, but position - he is the only one in the entire team, he is the pure right forward.

In order to have a better performance, Kevin De Bruyne has been training hard, hoping to adapt to the team's tactics as soon as possible. However, J-Rodriguez, who is also a new team member and a young player, is more genius than him. The opponent is growing at a speed of progress that can be seen at the naked eye, which also makes Kevin De Bruyne very stressed.

The current team still satisfies Kevin De Bruyne, but this is the first time he has come into contact with such a complex tactic and adaptability is slower.

In the past half month, Kevin De Bruyne's fastest growth is his running position to the penalty area.

In many teams, the wing forward is completely the wingers of the past. Unless they play individually, they rarely run into the penalty area and do the shooting work of the forward and the central forward.

This also leads to the fact that many wing forwards score very few goals.

Previously, Kevin De Bruyne was regarded as a future star when he was in Genk's first team. He always performed best on the court. He had more freedom and occasionally played a guest forward. However, he only scored 5 goals in 22 games last season. He has always positioned himself as an assist and has no hope for goals.

Now that he comes to Atletico Madrid to adapt to the complex tactical system, Kevin De Bruyne feels that he is too big, but after listening to the old players in the team, he focuses on running positions, especially running positions in the penalty area.

As a wing forward, it is very easy to just run back and forth. Even if there is a ball, you can choose to lead yourself or cooperate with your teammates in the middle.

The running towards the penalty area is different. It is based on the overall formation of the team. The important thing is that you cannot compete with your teammates for position, and you will not let the team have loopholes in the offense.

Kevin De Bruyne focused on this aspect and his progress was also rapid.

This time the training results are coming out!

Raul Garcia just passed the ball according to tactical routines. He subconsciously felt that someone would follow the right side, but he regretted the moment he passed the ball, because Kevin De Bruyne - a newcomer to a team on the right side.

How difficult is it for newcomers to adapt to tactics?

Raul Garcia has had experience. He adapted very slowly. When Reyes hit the right side, he didn't get used to it after half a year, let alone a newcomer.

But Kevin De Bruyne kept up!

When Raul Garcia saw Kevin De Bruyne appearing in the right position, he was surprised and surprised.

Kevin De Bruyne was very excited. He rushed towards the ball, suppressed the excitement in his heart, glanced at the goal, waved his right foot and directly pulled the ball behind.

Go in!

"Kevin De Bruyne!!"

A full-back ran into the penalty area to shoot, which was somewhat unexpected and very threatening. Every Barcelona player realized it, but it was too late to stop it. The only thing they could do was pray in their hearts that the ball would not enter.

Unfortunately, God did not stand behind Barcelona!

Kevin De Bruyne is only more than 10 meters away from the goal, while goalkeeper Valdes was deceived by Raul Garcia and stood on the other side, so he had no time to adjust his position.

The football rushed directly to the near corner of the goal!

The moment Kevin De Bruyne completed the shot, everyone's hearts were raised.

Fans who support Atletico Madrid are full of joy, while Barcelona fans are a little desperate.

No matter what the fans think, they can't stop the football flying towards the goal!

Valdes had no time to save. He stood there and waved his hand subconsciously, but he had no effect at all. He could only watch the football fly in. (To be continued.)
