Chapter 427: Seize the throne and seize power
"Hello everyone, due to the World Cup qualifiers, La Liga has been suspended for nearly two weeks, and this week it has finally rekindled, and today we are also broadcasting a key game for you, with Chinese player Han Sen's Barcelona team facing Athletic Bilbao away." He Wei started the broadcast work early, "Athletic Bilbao's San Mamés stadium, for Han Sen, is also a blessed land, in the 35th round of last season's away game against Athletic Bilbao, Han Sen scored two goals, leading Mallorca to reverse Athletic Bilbao, now compared to Mallorca, there are more good players around, I believe that after less than five months, it is not difficult to win Athletic Bilbao again." Bilbao have won just one of the last 13 league meetings between the two sides, while the rest of Barcelona are unbeaten with eight wins and four draws. The two sides have met 154 league games, with Barcelona having the upper hand with 71 wins, 25 draws and 58 losses, including 20 wins, 16 draws and 41 defeats away. Gudjohnsen and Xavi are out injured, long-term injuries Hleb and Silvinho are on the bench, Messi is also on the bench, Thierry Henry, Marcos, Keita, Toure and Alves, and Hansen all rotate into the starting line-up. Barcelona line-up 433: goalkeeper No. 1 Valdés; Defenders No. 20 Alves, No. 3 Pique, No. 4 Marcos, No. 22 Abidal; midfielders: No. 15 Keita, No. 13 Hansen, No. 24 Toure; Forwards No. 8 Iniesta, No. 9 Eto'o, No. 14 Henry. Bilbao's lineup is 442: goalkeeper No. 1 Ilesos; Defenders No. 15 Ilora, No. 5 Amorebieta and No. 20 Osio. No. 42 Balenziaga; midfielders: No. 16 Albais, No. 11 Gabirondo; No. 7 Davy. López, No. 10 Jester. Up front, No. 8 Gamendia; No. 9 Llorente. Today, I will explain to you that Xu Yang is familiar with, and Xu Yang will interpret the highlights of this game for you. ”
Xu Yang coughed: "Yes, this game is a bit unremarkable, the opponent is not strong, and the opponent is not too much to watch, we are not paying attention to the Chinese player Han Sen today." There are also some special concerns. ”
He Wei said with interest: "Then Xu Yang quickly introduce us to it." ”
Xu Yang nodded and said: "First, today's Barcelona has been widely affected by the FIFA virus, and many players cannot appear in the game due to injury or because of their condition. Messi, the main player of the previous iron fight, sat on the bench, and Xavi did not even enter the game squad, which laid a suspense for the game; The second and more important aspect is that Han Sen was able to start this round. No doubt. His state and role have been affirmed by the coach, but at this time, I think this is a great opportunity for Han Sen to grab the position and seize power! ”
"Haha!" He Wei said with a smile, "Xu Yang, you mean that Xavi is the tactical core of Barcelona, and Messi, who may be appointed by the team as the leader of the new generation after Xiao Luo, is not on the field today." And if Han Sen can play a different role in this game, then he will also quietly complete the establishment of his main position and even the core position. Isn't that so! ”
Xu Yang nodded firmly: "More importantly, at the end of October, that is, almost a week later, is the day when the list of 23 candidates for the FIFA World Footballer of the Year is announced, according to many media, Han Sen's performance throughout 2008 is very outstanding, and it is very likely that he will enter this squad for the first time on behalf of Chinese football, so in the games before the list is announced, Han Sen's performance is also very important!" ”
Coincidentally, as soon as Han Sen returned to Barcelona, Binyan and Osvaldo both revealed this important information to Han Sen, because Han Sen's performance throughout this year has been very stable, and in the half season of Mallorca, he pressed Sneijder, won the La Liga midfield scorer king, and was selected for the best team in La Liga and was elected as the best foreign player of the season. After returning to Barcelona, Han Sen is only second only to Messi and Eto'o in the team in terms of data. The most important thing is, of course, the god-level performance in the Olympic Games, as well as the two awards of the best player and the best scorer recognized by the International Olympic Committee, all of which paved the way for Han Sen to be shortlisted for the world footballer for the first time on behalf of Chinese football, and what Han Sen has to do is to avoid major mistakes and deviations in these last few games.
World Footballer of the Year! What a well-known word, when Han Sen heard the news for the first time, he was still more or less shocked, but he also quickly recognized his position, he was just hooking up with the name of World Footballer this time, and he was not really going to win World Footballer. Like La Liga goalscorer king and best foreign aid, they are all inconspicuous individual awards, not to mention the best team, there are eleven people there! The five major leagues have to have more than 50 candidates. As for the Olympics, they have always been sidelined by FIFA, and what the IOC recognizes is not necessarily recognized by FIFA. The most important thing is that Han Sen has not had any substantive collective honors in the league or international competitions this year, like the Beijing Olympics, and he has not even won a bronze medal, so he will be serious and enter the squad first.
Puyol, Xavi and Messi are all absent, and the captain's armband is hung on Valdés' arm, and Hansen, who has played behind Valdés in the past, has been promoted to the second man in the team to enter the field. His thoughts at the moment were similar to Xu Yang, who was thousands of miles away, that is, whether he could find the core feeling as soon as possible in the absence of a group of bigwigs.
"Today's Barcelona midfield configuration is Keita, Yaya Toure and Hansen, if there is no accident, Hansen will replace Xavi's previous forward position, while Keita and Yaya Toure focus on defense, Barcelona's midfield for the first time this season used the configuration of steel muscles! The three big ones, Han Sen looks like one meter eight or five eighty-six, and the two big black ones are both one meter nine tall. He Wei smiled.
After the opening, Han Sen also felt a feeling of being distracted for the first time, almost every time he played before, Xavi was a slightly diaphragmatic existence, not only from the momentum, but more likely in terms of tactical requirements, Han Sen every time he stepped forward or organized or attacked, he had to pass Harvey's point, even if he didn't pass Harvey's point, he also needed to nod and act with him, now it's okay, Xavi is not playing at all, Keita and Yaya Toure are in the offensive organization, and they can't be compared with themselves at present, and the degree of freedom is suddenly bigger, He's starting to get back to the way he played with Mallorca.
"Hmmm! We see that Barcelona, under the organization of Han Sen, is a little different from the previous game form. He Wei alertly noticed the change, "Guardiola's football philosophy has been catalyzed in the team during this time, it has become obvious that it is to control the ball, and Han Sen's personal style is also to control the ball, but now it seems that Han Sen's idea of ball control is not the same as Guardiola's, and Han Sen's command is much faster." ”
Xu Yang watched the game with wide eyes and didn't say a word.
The game on the field is indeed as He Wei said, you come and go, it is very good-looking. In the 2nd minute, Alves fouled Gabirondo in front of the penalty area. López's free-kick from 24 yards was saved by Valdés with one hand. In the fifth minute, Ilora misplaced a return pass, Eto'o intercepted and shook off goalkeeper Ilesos, but the ball was eventually brought out of the bottom line by himself. 1 minute later, Bilbao's David? Lopes crosses and Gabilondo heads wide. In the eighth minute, Hansen passed the ball and Eto'o's powerful shot from 20 yards was saved by Ilesos.
Almost 20 minutes into the game, Barcelona began to slowly gain more possession, and in the 21st minute, Eto'o received a pass from Hansen and turned and passed again, and Iniesta fired high from 25 yards on the right. Two minutes later, Keita fouled the opposition high striker Llorente in front of the penalty area, only to be shot directly from a free-kick from 25 yards by Yester, and Valdés flew again to save. Bilbao then won three corners in a row but were unable to threaten and Keita was injured in the scramble and unable to continue the game.
Guardiola couldn't sit still at this time, and while beckoning Busquets to get ready to play, he hurriedly stood on the sidelines: "handsome! handsome! ”
Han Sen was not far from Guardiola, and hurriedly retreated to Guardiola's side while watching the situation on the field: "What's the matter?" ”
"Slow down! You're a little fast! Pep Guardiola said patiently, "I want the same rhythm as the game in front of us!" ”
Han Sen thought to himself, is this still fast? I'm slow enough! It's still not as slow as the growth rate of monthly passes...... (To be continued......)
