On July 24, Barcelona’s three warm-up matches in China kicked off.
Today their opponent is Shanghai SIPG.
Eighty thousand fans poured into the Shanghai Stadium to watch this showdown between giants.
Due to Moreira's transfer, although Barcelona's lineup has not changed much, the pre-match combat effectiveness test is very important.
So Gudiola almost sent out the entire main lineup.
However, the loudest moment in the audience was not when the Barcelona players came on the field, but when Lu Yang appeared on the court with a cane.
Before the game, Lu Yang took the microphone and spoke a few words, saying that he hoped football would develop better and better in China, which seemed to be a sponsor.
When Lu Yang came to the stands, he did not sit directly at Barcelona because he had not officially reported to Barcelona yet. In theory, he was still on vacation and did not need to follow the team. .
Lu Yang naturally sat in the VIP seat.
"Lu Yang, I want to thank you very much this time!" The chairman of SIPG Football Club smiled happily. He and Lu Yang were sitting together.
Lu Yang has helped connect domestic clubs not once or twice.
But after all, it was only Sanremo that came before.
No matter how impressive his record is, he is still just a rookie.
But this time it was Barcelona.
That's a lot more influential.
This friendly match has been a prominent figure in football news around the world.
"No, no, it's all opportunities that SIPG fought for. I'm just a favor." Lu Yang said this, but in fact, he really put in a lot of effort.
In his contract with Barcelona, in addition to salary bonuses and other agreements, Barcelona must connect with domestic football to a certain extent, establish a transfer mechanism for outstanding players, export Barcelona's advanced youth training concepts and accurate knowledge and courses, etc.
Without these requirements, Barcelona really might not come to play this game.
"We have wanted to send a few players out in the past two years." SIPG really hopes to cultivate a few capable players.
In China, anyone who has played abroad for a few years will most likely become the backbone of the team when he comes back.
But it was so hard to get out.
Without channels, the cost is still high.
If a player sits on the bench all the time after going out, it is difficult to say that he has made huge progress.
Of course, SIPG will not send out players in their prime, but young players.
There is also a contract between them and the players. After the players leave, they must come back within a certain period of time, otherwise they will pay sky-high liquidated damages.
The players are not opposed to it, because for most players, it is impossible to get a high salary.
On the contrary, if you go out and come back, your life will be better.
Therefore, this kind of contract is very willing to be signed by both the club and the players.
There is no exploitation of players.
Besides, the players have really played in Europe. With their salary at that time, it is very easy not to return to the Chinese Super League. They can definitely afford the liquidated damages, and it will not be painful.
"Are you going to play today?" Lu Yang asked.
"Of course, the number 11 Yu Shihao is our seed player." SIPG chairman pointed to a small player on the court who was over 1.7 meters tall.
There is nothing particularly outstanding about physical fitness.
But it seems very flexible.
If Lu Yang can take a fancy to this player, then with a few good words, Yu Shihao's future will be much better.
Don’t forget, Mr. Winter of Arsenal must consult Lu Yang for his opinion when buying anyone!
Lu Yang nodded and said that he would pay attention to this player.
"It's Yu Shihao!" He Gongliang, who was also sitting in the same row, said, "He actually came to SIPG this year!"
Lu Yang looked at He Gongliang: "What? Do you know him?"
He Gongliang smiled shyly: "Yu Shihao was a student I taught when I first went to Huayuan Primary School to be a physical education teacher. He was one of my first students. I also mainly taught them to play football at that time, and I had an impression of him."
"When he was in the fourth grade of elementary school, he could hit the ball continuously while running without letting the football fall to the ground. He had a very good feel for the ball and was very fast."
"I didn't lead the team at the time, but I sent him to my friend's team and asked him to participate in the Aker Cup. It seems that he won second place in the national competition."
"Later I heard that he had entered the echelon of a professional club, and then I was busy leading the women's football team, so I didn't have much contact with him."
Lu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hey! Good guy, you can be regarded as someone's first coach! You are so small in Jiangyou, but you have produced so many football talents, you have a lot of skills!"
The SIPG chairman's eyes lit up at that time and he said to He Gongliang: "I wonder if this coach is not interested in the position of SIPG youth training coach?"
Good guy!
Poaching?
He Gongliang shook his head awkwardly: "Don't dare, don't dare, I have now joined Barcelona's youth training working group, so..."
"Barcelona? There is a future! If you want to return to China in the future, SIPG will be the first to welcome you!" SIPG chairman remembered the name He Gongliang.
Soon the game officially started.
Barcelona is indeed very strong, especially when it comes to free non-strong teams.
In the first half, Mateo and Ortiz each scored a goal, leading 2-0 easily.
But what made the fans at the scene feel Barcelona's strength more than the score was their ball possession rate!
Seventy-three percent!
Almost hanging SIPG up and beating him.
In the second half, Ortiz scored another goal and Barcelona led 3-0.
At this time Gudiola replaced Ortiz and Mateo to let them take a break.
Then small adjustments were made to the formation, mainly to test whether Mancini could serve as an arrow and complete Mateo's previous tasks.
In the 62nd minute, after fighting for the ball, the SIPG midfielder made a through kick.
The football flew past Mebarak.
SIPG No. 11 player Yu Shihao quickly accelerated, cut inside without the ball, and rushed towards the football before Mebarak.
Yu Shihao was very fast. Mebarak took two tentative steps to catch up and then slowed down.
He knew he couldn't catch up.
At the same time, he also saw his teammate Clement taking a good position.
Mebarak believes that Yu Shihao does not have the courage to challenge Barcelona's main central defender, at least this is how SIPG players have behaved before.
Therefore, it is more important for him to stand in a defensive position and pay attention to the SIPG players rushing up from behind.
He alone can suppress at least two SIPG players advancing forward.
In terms of defensive intentions, Mebarak did a very good job and maximized his abilities.
But... all this is based on the premise that Clement can solve Yu Shihao.
boom!
Yu Shihao picked the ball lightly while traveling at high speed.
The football flew over Clement's calf, which was easily extended.
The next moment, Yu Shihao also ducked past Clement, slipping like a little loach.
"Yu Shihao, it's a one-man attack!"
After passing Clement, Yu Shihao faced Barcelona goalkeeper Kahn.
When Kahn was attacking, Yu Shihao took a shot that hit the far corner of the player. His shooting skills were quite superb!
Very brave to fight!
"The ball went in! SIPG recovered a goal!"
"SIPG young player Yu Shihao is awesome!"
"He passed Maybarak and Clement in succession, and he completely penetrated the Barcelona defense! You know, these are Barcelona's main players!"
"Yu Shihao! Yu Shihao!"
The atmosphere at the scene finally picked up.
But soon, Hernandez made a world-class backcourt scalpel that directly penetrated the entire SIPG.
Mancini received the ball with a single stroke and easily sent the football into the net.
Barcelona four to one!
Hernandez completed a hat trick of assists!
In the 80th minute, it was Yu Shihao's long shot that resulted in a corner kick.
Barcelona center back Mebarak wanted to head the ball to clear the ball, but due to confrontation and other reasons, he missed the ball and the ball flew into his own net.
Own goals!
The score on the spot became four to two!
Lu Yang celebrated passionately in the stands.
To allow Barcelona to make such a mistake, SIPG really worked hard enough.
The most classic thing about this ball is actually the center back of SIPG who interfered with Mebarak. His interference is very important. At first glance, he is a veteran player. His strength is not mentioned, but his brain is easy to use.
Gudiola shook his head. The center back combination of Maybarak and Clement still had problems.
Mebarak has the potential to become a top central defender. His ability to play the ball at his feet and organizational skills are extremely rare among central defenders in this era.
This is his greatest advantage.
But his shortcoming is also obvious, that is, his movement speed is slow, especially his turning speed!
And although his frontal defensive ability is very strong, most of it relies on his super high court. His hard power in fighting is not strong, and his body is not as tall and majestic as he looks.
He needs a faster destroyer to coordinate with him.
But Clement... is almost a smaller version of Maybarak, shorter and slightly faster, but only fast within the normal range, not fast enough to make up for Mebarak's shortcomings.
Beep!
Another substitution card was played on the sidelines, and Barcelona substituted Pirola for Maybarak.
Pirola was flattered.
The coach actually substituted himself in this game?
Although in these warm-up matches and friendly matches before the start of the season, many players have opportunities to play.
But this shows that these players are within the scope of the coach's inspection.
Be noticed!
Pirola is excited because he didn't get this kind of attention at all last season.
His position among the substitute central defenders is relatively low.
All of this is absolutely inseparable from Lu Yang's arrival.
Pirola looked in the direction of Lu Yang, and Lu Yang was also applauding Pirola.
Mebarak also looked over. He thought Lu Yang's applause was to celebrate him scoring an own goal and being replaced.
Mebarak couldn't be more angry.
In the 88th minute, Barcelona left back Ava dribbled the ball through SIPG's right wing.
boom!
Cross from the bottom.
SIPG's center back headed the ball to clear the ball, and the football flew to the right side of the penalty area. However, Barcelona right back Canisel rushed over and fired a volley. The football made a heaven-defying arc and went directly into the net.
World wave!
Fairy ball!
Five to two!
Barcelona won a big victory.
However, Gudiola next to him shook his head. This kind of cross from the wing was not his favorite way of playing.
Moreover, Carnisel has a lot of fun in this kind of exhibition games. When playing key games, this guy is always a little constrained.
Many black people or people are like this. They seem cynical, don't care about anything, and have a good attitude.
But in fact, when faced with real problems, they are often very fragile and sensitive.
Hip-hop is just their protective color, they are not really big-hearted.
The man of the match award was finally won by Hernandez who was still on the court.
Hernandez: "I'm very happy to be able to come to China. I hope to come here for a long time."
"This game is mainly to test the effect of our training during this period. At present, it seems that we have initially lost the fat that we gained this summer. This is good news."
"The one who impressed me most about SIPG was definitely player No. 11. His speed, shooting skills and sense of movement are all good. He has some similarities with the Chinese player Shi Tian of Espanyol."
"This actually surprised me. Because I always thought that China mainly produces players like Lu who have excellent physical strength, active running, balanced offense and defense, and strong mental attributes."
"Of course, we really hope that Lu can return to the team as soon as possible. The good news is that the head coach said that Lu's injury will recover much faster than everyone expected!"
Well, this is almost like saying that I thought you could only produce rough brothers, but I didn’t expect that you could also produce little quick spirits!
Hernandez took the initiative to mention Lu Yang in the interview and expressed a certain amount of goodwill.
This is completely opposite to the previous silent attitude of Barcelona's local gang.
In addition, Ortiz also made a similar response yesterday, which can't help but make people wonder... Has the conflict between Lu Yang and Barcelona and the Barcelona locker room been resolved?
Or are there different voices in the Barcelona locker room?
On July 26, the high-scoring drama film "The Pursuit of Happiness" directed and starred by Sophia ushered in a box office increase in the new weekend and surpassed the American blockbuster that was previously ranked ahead of her. It stabilized its position as the North American box office champion in July.
The cumulative box office has exceeded US$100 million, making a profit!
Preliminary estimates indicate that there is an 82% chance that the film's total box office will reach US$200 million.
Because the film's ratings are so high, the release time may be longer.
Therefore, when before the game that day, Lu Yang took a microphone and interrupted some inquiries about the movie at the Chengdu Longquanyi dedicated football field, the fans were extremely excited.
Because in two days, "The Pursuit of Happiness" will be released in domestic theaters at the same time as Europe!
It became one of the first regions to release the film after North America.
There is no doubt that the relevant review department gave the green light, otherwise the review would not have been so fast.
Tang Yuqin played a big role in this.
This game is Chengdu Chengdu VS Barcelona.
But the strength of Chengdu Chengdu is obviously still far from SIPG.
In the first half alone, Barcelona scored four goals.
Four to zero!
Among them, Barcelona's new king Mateo's half-time hat trick triggered cheers from the audience.
In the second half, Barcelona started a large-scale rotation.
Only then did Chengdu Chengdu breathe a sigh of relief.
In the 75th minute, Chengdu Chengdu Chengdu central defender Chen Tao broke through Barcelona's goal with a header attack and achieved a zero breakthrough.
"Chen Tao! Excellent pen!"
"Chen Tao! Rise up!"
Lu Yang looked at the excited He Gongliang and intuitively told him that there must be something wrong with this.
"Do you know him again?" Lu Yang asked.
"I'm from Jiangyou! Chen Tao is also from Jiangyou! It's like Shihao is two years younger, the second group of young players I brought up!" He Gongliang said excitedly, "It's because their players in that group always couldn't score goals. I'm desperate for the men's football team. Then I turned to the direction of women’s football and led two women’s football teams, including Zhang Linyan who I met last year!”
Okay.
Connected!
Is this like saying that you brought out all the players in Jiangyou?
666!
In the end, the game ended with Barcelona defeating Chengdu Chengdu 6-1.
But after the game, the media also discovered this problem.
"Football talent blowout? In the desert area of Sichuan Jiangyou in the football section, two players successively appeared to score Barcelona goals! 》
"Jiang You?" That Jiangyou from Li Bai’s hometown? Isn't that a place for eating fat sausage? Why does it have anything to do with football? 》
"Lu Yang Effect?" Zhang Linyan! Yu Shihao! Chen Tao! who is the next? 》
"I brought them all!" Jiangyou physical education teacher He Gongliang said that Zhang, Yu and Chen are all his disciples! 》
"Future famous coach He Gongliang!" Chinese Super League clubs, what are you still hesitating about? 》
"late! He Gongliang has accepted Barcelona's invitation to join its youth training echelon! 》
"The next center of Sichuan football, Jiangyou?" 》
"There is no distinction between style and genre!" The second player in football, a fat peach, is also from Jiangyou! 》
For a time, Jiang You became popular.
Jiangyou players are also popular, and they no longer have to worry about finding a new home. Many teams are poaching players here.
Jiangyou Internet writer Yi Pangtao relied on this wave of popularity to reach the top of the football best-selling list, and entered the top 50 best-selling books on the entire Internet, soaring to the sky!
…
July 28th.
"The Pursuit of Happiness" was released in mainland China, with a box office of 50 million yuan on the first day.
The total box office is expected to be no less than 700 million, and it is destined to break the historical box office record of mainland movies.
Today is Barcelona's last friendly match in China.
Barcelona VS Sanremo!
Yes, Sanremo also came to play a warm-up match.
The opponents are Guangzhou Evergrande and BJ Guoan.
I heard that Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina and other teams are in discussions with Chinese Super League clubs and will also play some friendly matches in China next year.
The cooperation between Chinese and Italian football is becoming closer.
When Sanremo comes to China, they will naturally receive treatment at home.
The day before, Lu Yang invited all Sanremo players and staff to greet them.
The person who previously said that Lu Yang was weak and apologized to Barcelona had nothing to say this time.
This is the normal operation in the land of etiquette.
On the day of the game, Lu Yang even waved a Sanremo jersey.
His behavior of waving his jersey during the game upset some Barcelona fans.
"Is he crazy? He is already a Barcelona player!"
"It's enough to still be waving the Sanremo jersey!"
"You're eating everything inside, aren't you?"
"Brother, Lu Yang has not officially reported to the team yet. You are on vacation, do you still have to wear the company uniform?"
"One thing to say is that Lu Yang did not put on the Sanremo jersey directly. He was very restrained. He did so after careful consideration. I think this is nothing. You are too sensitive."
"Not everyone regards the club as their life. You have to go through a lot together before you can have true feelings. Those who say this club is my lifeblood and my soul from the beginning, who didn't have trouble with the club in the end? turn?"
"After seeing too many fake things, you can't stand the real things? Let me tell you, players like Lu Yang are much more reliable and practical than those players you think!"
A small-scale debate began, but it would not affect Lu Yang's choice.
What's more, Barcelona doesn't need Lu Yang to cheer for this game.
Because Barcelona won the final 2-0.
But this game has already begun to make Barcelona warm up.
Although they still played easily and had a ball possession rate of over 68%, their number of goals dropped.
Although Najib, Kamijon and Moreba's defense against Mateo was not completely successful, it did bring greater trouble to Mateo.
So much so that Mateo only scored a free kick in this game.
You know, this is the bankrupt version of Sanremo.
This is Sanremo after selling players for a full 300 million euros this summer!
What level will Barcelona be in after selling players for 300 million?
Gu Sanremo's performance has been very difficult.
This stop also strengthened the Sanremo fans' confidence in the team's task of avoiding relegation this season.
On July 31st, Barcelona flew to Manchester, England, where they completed a friendly match with Manchester United.
This game was so exciting.
The game was 2-2, with Mateo scoring twice.
England superstar Mike Loughlin and Manchester United new aid Aveiro exchange shots!
Among them, Aveiro scored the ultimate goal!
Overall, this game exceeded the expectations of Barcelona fans.
Barcelona, which has lost Moreira, can actually be 50-50 with Manchester United after signing?
This... is very strong!
I feel that even without Lu Yang, Barcelona can still achieve something in the Champions League and league this season.
Fans who think about it will think, how terrible will Barcelona be after Lu Yang recovers from injury?
But fans who don't think about it will think, then why do we spend so much money to buy Lu Yang?
so.
You've spent all your money, so just think of something happy.
This is simply creating unhappiness for yourself.
On August 4th, Barcelona flew to Los Angeles, USA.
Their penultimate opponent in the warm-up match was the Los Angeles Galaxy from the American Major League!
Four to one!
Barcelona walked away with a victory without any pressure.
Mateo scored twice, Mancini and Maybarak each scored a goal.
Ortiz completed a hat trick of assists!
This is the second time a Barcelona player has scored an assist hat trick during this period!
This is actually not common, because Barcelona's assists are often scattered.
It may be concentrated on the forwards, but rarely on the midfielders.
Because when Barcelona finally solves the problem, they will definitely use Mateo.
Most of the time, the midfielder gives the ball to the frontcourt players, the frontcourt players give it to Mateo, and Mateo scores.
Or the midfielder gives it to Mateo, Mateo gives it to his teammates in the frontcourt, and his teammates give it to Mateo, and Mateo scores.
The midfielder directly feeds Mateo, and it is relatively rare for Mateo to score.
But now there are more.
It seems more direct and efficient, but this is just because the opponent is too good.
Facing a strong opponent, this kind of pass is difficult to score.
This change is undoubtedly due to Moreira's departure.
Although Moreira is not fully integrated into Barcelona's extreme passing and control tactics, he can still rely on his wild imagination to pass the ball that Barcelona needs and run to the position that Barcelona needs.
Without him, Barcelona's substitute forward simply cannot complete this task.
Even Mancini, who had integrated well before, lost his form after Moreira left.
It's simple, even if he doesn't want to, he will automatically become Moreira on the next court, because Mateo really needs a review now.
But Mancini can be a good attacker from the side and a point for passing and receiving, but he cannot be a reviewer, at least not as good as Moreira.
Barcelona's frontcourt chemistry is gone.
So they can only rely on their powerful midfielder to directly deliver artillery shells.
But Ortiz and Hernandez also have the ability to directly feed the cake.
This is a hidden danger, and Gudiola has already noticed it.
August 7th, Barcelona’s last friendly match.
Barcelona VS Flamengo of Brazil.
In this game, Gudiola reduced the rotation and clearly asked the players to follow his playing style, reducing the number of midfielders assisting passes directly to Mateo.
To put it simply, "put down your scalpel" and don't cheat!
The entire Barcelona suddenly fell into an unprecedented constipated offensive state.
Mateo rarely completed the goal.
Left back Ava scored from a long shot.
Ortiz scored with a long shot.
Barcelona ended their warm-up match with a score of 2-0.
Six games, five wins and one draw, an undefeated journey!
Media outlets throughout the Barcelona area chanted.
"Barcelona has finally reached its peak!" Extreme transmission and control enters the room! 》
"Average three points and seven goals per game!" The average ball possession rate per game is 66%! Who can stop this Barcelona team? 》
"Invincible Barcelona doesn't need Lu Yang at all!" 》
"Seventy million wasted in vain?" There is no point in buying land for Barcelona! 》
"Morella was wronged!" Barcelona is not affected at all without him! 》
"After Moreira left, Barcelona became smoother!" 》
"Eight goals in six games, Mateo's feet feel hot and he is in hot form!" 》
Affected by these news, fans instantly became extremely optimistic.
Don't look at the gold content of this series of warm-up matches at all.
With a full play, Flamengo is considered a weak team, while Manchester United is a strong team.
Barcelona faced them with one win and one draw, and the score was mediocre.
And don’t forget, Manchester United’s lineup has undergone major changes, including the introduction of main-level midfielders, center backs, goalkeepers, and wingers, and they are still in the running-in period.
Most of Barcelona's players have been cooperating for more than two years.
Everyone's proficiency is fundamentally different.
Mebarak also gave a high-profile interview again at this time: "I said, we have enough outstanding players, and our players have also played their own value."
"I'd like to reiterate my point again. I hope Barcelona will put more energy into the construction and maintenance of the team. Our youth training requires a lot of funds, and we can continuously generate blood."
"If we do this well, we don't have to scratch lottery tickets from outside at all!"
His words made Barcelona fans feel very comfortable after hearing them.
Youth training is indeed important.
But if you think a little more and pay attention to the youth training system, then do you also have to pay attention to the development and future of youth training players? Especially the former youth training players who have become the main players in the first team?
Mebarak is infinitely raising his own value.
He didn't directly kick the salary and power.
But time remains, what can you do to show your importance?
Doesn’t it have to be salary and power?
At the same time, Mebarak said a few words to Lu Yang in a nonchalant manner.
But the tone was very light, because many people in the local gang were already unwilling to be Lu Yang's enemy.
At the very least, no one wants to act rashly before Lu Yang actually plays.
If Lu Yang can really enhance the team's strength, everyone will still welcome it.
Although things have changed, most people actually don’t have bad intentions.
But in most teams, there are often one or two people who like to cause trouble.
This is inevitable.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
…
After the warm-up match wave passed, another "big event" happened in Chinese football!
That was 200,000 euros from Serie A team Sanremo, which took away left winger Yu Shihao from Shanghai SIPG, who had just been promoted to the first team and had not played a formal game.
After that, Sanremo spent another 100,000 euros to take away its young central defender Chen Tao from Chengdu Chengdu.
So far, there are two more overseas players in Chinese football.
Together with Shi Tian, who went to La Liga Espanyol a year or two earlier, the three of them are known as the three heroes who studied abroad!
Everyone expects them to be able to play in Europe.
On August 22, La Liga started first.
Barcelona got off to a good start against the powerhouse Malaga at home.
A thrilling 3-2 win.
The reason why I say thrilling is because Barcelona's central defender combination made too many mistakes in this game.
Many people in Barcelona now regret buying Lu Yang instead of buying Sanremo's defensive midfielder and center back swingman Lahm.
If Lahm plays as a central defender, his movement speed can perfectly match either Maybarak or Clement!
As a result, Lahm is now thriving at Juventus, but Lu Yang is still not completely free of crutches!
Depressing!
August 30th, the second round of La Liga.
Barcelona beat rival Villarreal 2-1.
In two games, Mateo had three goals and one assist, ranking third in La Liga's top scorer list.
The second place is Atletico Madrid's Domingos, with four goals in two games, crazy!
Atletico Madrid's current midfield of Corral, Candreva, and Vidal is very complete and is excellent both offensively and defensively.
Candreva performed amazingly with one shot and two passes in the two games, showing the style of the Serie A Mini World Cup.
The key is that a player like this can't even get into the richest teams in Serie A. Let me ask you whether Serie A is good.
The top scorer is Real Madrid center Nazario Lima, who has returned from injury!
The aliens scored five goals in two games and struck hard!
Judging from the first two rounds, Real Madrid's momentum this year is even stronger than last year!
Of course, Barcelona is not bad either.
However, some people noticed the playing style of Barcelona's second-round opponent Villarreal. They seemed to be deliberately restricting Mateo.
Only their restraint failed in the second half.
Mateo relied on his excellent personal ability to break through Villarreal's blockade and score the winning goal.
But this time Mateo was in good form.
What if he is in a bad state?
In early September, the Champions League group stage grouping ceremony was launched.
Barcelona was assigned to Group C and was the third team in Group C.
This makes Group C destined to become the group of death.
The first team in Group C is Ajax of the Eredivisie.
Last year, the Eredivisie surpassed the Russian Premier League in points and became the sixth largest league.
The six major league champions plus the Champions League and Europa League champions, eight teams are in the first tier.
Although Ajax is very likely to be the weakest team among the eight first-tier teams, oh no... the defending Champions League champion Sanremo should be the weakest.
And the second team in Group C turned out to be... AC Milan, the Champions League champion the year before last!
The third team Barcelona.
The fourth team is Dortmund from the Bundesliga.
As soon as this group came out, the media became excited.
They always find things that the public doesn't understand.
for example……
"The Champions Team!" The four teams in Group C of the Champions League have won a total of 161 championships! 》
"30, 44, 63, 22!" List of Champions League Group C team champions! 》
"A war between Champions League champions!" Group C is the only team where all four teams have won the Champions League! 》
"True Death Group!" Barcelona may lose the Champions League before Lu Yang comes back! 》
The outside world is not optimistic about this grouping.
Because both Ajax and Dortmund have the strength to challenge Barcelona and AC Milan.
There is no huge gap in strength between everyone.
And if it were Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris, Bayern, Chelsea, Juventus, etc., no one would dare to say this.
The reason is that Barcelona lost Moreira and AC Milan lost Iseret.
Sometimes, the impact of a superstar can be so huge.
Whether it is public opinion or the scene, they can play a role like a needle in the sea.
What?
You mean Lu Yang?
Then Barcelona will have to survive the group stage.
Otherwise, would Lu Yang lead Barcelona to win the Europa League?
This year is definitely the most difficult time for Barcelona to qualify for the group stage in recent years.
This is also the time when Barcelona's extreme ball control tactics really come into play to face strong opponents.
As an Eredivisie giant, Ajax has always had no shortage of talented players.
There are many stars who have come from this wealthy club.
In the past two years, Ajax has seen another batch of popular products.
Their center Robin Fan and center back Virgil Peterke are one of the hottest newcomers this year.
Almost equal to Enriquez and Mancini three years ago.
Farreira, Ceballos, Raheem and Lu Yang two years ago.
Aveiro and Moric last year.
It is normal for stars to fall, and everyone often talks about who is fooled, but in fact, as far as young players are concerned, the entire world of football is quite discerning.
Enriquez and Mancini are now top-notch stars, playing indispensable roles in both Barcelona and Real Madrid. They are serious stars.
Farella, Ceballos, and Raheem played for Chelsea, Paris, and Manchester City respectively. Their quality may be slightly worse than last year, but they are not to blame.
It can only be blamed on them being in the same period as a certain pervert, so they were sucked away too much attention.
The king of that period was undoubtedly Lu Yang.
Even for two or three years, it was Lu Yang!
There is no doubt about this.
He is also the only player who can compare with the top stars in the world at the age of 20.
Last year's Aveiro and Moliqi, one was mastered by Sir Alex Ferguson and lost all of Manchester United, and the other followed Lu Yang and won the Champions League championship and became the core of Arsenal.
It can be considered tit for tat.
"Probably the strongest striker in the history of the Red Devils" and "probably the most assist-producing Gunners midfielder in the world" have become one of the core gimmicks of the Premier League.
These two people have a high probability of becoming superstars.
Of course, we are talking about young stars here.
Talista, Izellet, Gutierrez, Mateo, these are not included in this ranking.
Lu Yang almost gave it up.
But the others are old enough, so they don’t count.
Lu Yang's strength, honor, and status were too high, so he didn't care.
Of course, despite the big draw of Red Devils VS Gunners, the Premier League is still very angry.
If Lu Yang came to the Premier League, there would be no need for them to use this "maybe impossible" sign.
Why do we need to borrow the popularity of the Red Devils and Gunners?
The battle for "the first person in the future" can be played directly!
Within the Premier League, there is a battle for first place between Lu Yang and Gutierrez, Mike Loughlin and others.
In European football, Lu Yang and Izelet are competing for the top spot.
Although Lu Yang was half a stature behind these people.
But Lu Yang, Gutierrez, and Iserette are all top players in Serie A!
With this kind of fate, it is normal to enter the venue early through the back door to compete.
So don’t mention how depressing the Premier League is now.
Not only Ajax, but Dortmund also has a young player at this level, and even...some people think he is Ajax's Robin van + Virgil Peterk.
This player is called Erling Highlander!
The three super new stars are in the same group. Next door are Lu Yang and Soger from the previous year, and Mancini from the last year. It can be said to be a very good inspection battle!
If these three can withstand the pressure, they may not be able to become the next superstars.
What's interesting is that all three of these people actually expressed their favor to Lu Yang.
Robin Fan: "My football idol is undoubtedly Lima. No player of our age dislikes Lima. He will always be the strongest striker in our hearts!"
"But as we entered the semi-finals of this year's Champions League, I found that I had a new football idol."
"He is actually as old as me, only twenty years old, but maybe because of this, his achievements are so incredible."
"That's right, I'm talking about Lu, I'm his fan now!"
"Our games against Barcelona are the third and fifth games of the group stage. I hope I can meet Lu Yang on the court at least once!"
Virgil Peterke: "I didn't have a football idol at the beginning. I only admired myself. But when I discovered that we had an amazingly similar past, I inevitably became a fan of Lu."
"He came from a centre-back background like me and we weren't great at the start."
"Two years ago, the boss of the place where I worked tried to persuade me to give up football many times because he thought I had no talent in football."
"I was really ready to give it all up, but I'm thankful that that year I saw the news that a low-level team called Sanremo miraculously became Coppa Italia champions."
"It has grown ten centimeters in one year, from center back to midfielder to midfielder! Seventeen goals and ten assists in the Italian Cup! In the semi-final penalty shootout, I saved all the opponent's shots and scored the winning penalty! In the final! Hat trick defeats AC Milan!"
"I'll always remember this! It's something that will always inspire me."
"I have not become exactly the same player as Lu Yang. I am still a central defender. But it must be the strength that Lu Yang brings to me. My height has increased by 17 centimeters in one year, and there has been a qualitative transformation on the defensive end. !”
"I'm so excited to meet Barcelona. I never thought I might one day compete with Lu Yang. This feeling is so magical!"
The two Ajax players make no secret of their fan nature.
But compared to Lu Chui, the Highlander next door didn't give in too much.
Highlander: "Am I a fan of Lu Yang? Of course, among players of my age, who doesn't want to be the next Lu Yang?"
"At first I thought I just wanted to replace him, but after Lu Yang was kicked off by Santos in the UEFA Champions League final this year, I discovered that I just worshiped him simply, as a father!"
"I know this is difficult to understand, but my father was also a top league player. He was kicked off in the league, and after that ... he could no longer play the ball like before This has led him to retire. "
"I hate the violence of the court, and Lu Yang is the strongest but not developing a violent player on the court."
"I pray for him every day, hoping that he can heal, hoping that this injury will not leave any sequelae for him."
"I don't know if we can play with Barcelona, but I will do my best to let him see."
"Saint Romomi has spread all over the European land! I am honored to be one of them!"
The level of copywriting of several young players is high, and many media can even transform their interviews into copywriting.
