Chapter 437: The Digital Age

The second half was still Barcelona's possession performance, with Busquets not on the pitch, Yaya Toure completely took over the defensive tasks in the central midfield, while Hanssen and Xavi did not have to rotate in the midfield, just let go of the attack. In the 59th minute, Hansen knocked back, and Toure's long-range shot from 30 yards was confiscated by Asenjo. In the 67th minute, Henry, Eto'o and Hansen made a series of passes, and Xavi's shot from the edge of the box was blocked by Nano in the near corner. Xavi then whipped in a corner from the left and Marcos nodded in front of the ball that was cleared by Asenjo.

In the 71st minute, Valladolid goalkeeper Asenjo made a short pass to defender Nano, who stopped the ball and made a mistake and was alertly intercepted by Henry. It's just that this data, which was originally worth boasting about, is a little bleak under the cover of Eto'o in this game. Pep Guardiola then replaced Hanssen with Keita, and shortly after Hansen came off the pitch, in the 75th minute, Hleb replaced Samu Eto'o, and the Camp Nou fans gave Eto'o a standing ovation.

After getting up to shake hands and hug Samuel Eto'o, Pep Guardiola returned to the bench and sat down, looked at Hansen next to him and said: "Are you still unhappy that you can't start or don't play the whole game?" ”

Han Sen looked at Guardiola in surprise, and only after a while did he understand what he meant to say that the current reasonable rotation made him feel right, so he smiled and did not make a statement. In fact, I am already convinced of Guardiola, and I am in my current position this season. Eight league appearances, three Champions League appearances, and a few minutes off the bench in the Copa del Rey have made a total of 12 appearances, including six league goals and five assists, and three assists in the Champions League, with six goals and eight assists. This heavy statistic has made him completely secure the main position now. It can be said that Pep Guardiola's rotation played an important role, because in these 12 games, Hansen played the whole game against Málaga, and the rest were all substitutes or substitutions, which made him suffer from cramps or physical exhaustion that he often experienced in Mallorca last season, which has almost never happened this season. You know, Mallorca only played in the league last season, while Hansen has played in the Champions League, league and Copa del Rey this season. Even Hansen played a full Olympics during the break. Thinking about it this way, even Han Sen himself is a little different, and he has made great changes in Barcelona.

In the 83rd minute, Hleb coordinated with Messi to kick the wall and crossed diagonally from the right rib of the penalty area. An unguarded Henry shoots into the empty net. 6 to 0. Barcelona won eight consecutive league games to continue to lead. In this round of the game, La Liga teams continued the trend of the previous two rounds of attacking football, scoring a total of 34 goals, second only to the previous round of 35, and the average goal rate of 2.76 per game also makes La Liga the league with the most goals in Europe. Barcelona and Real Madrid played epic matches in different ways, with Samuel Eto'o and Gonzalo Higuain scoring the first 'quadruple in a row' of their careers, with the difference being a clean 6-0 win over Valladolid, while Real Madrid came back from three trails to beat Malaga. Furthermore. Villarreal, Valencia and Sevilla also won in the upper echelons, with the only one left behind was Atletico Madrid, who drew with bottom side Osasuna. Deportivo La Coruna, led by Lotina, quietly surpassed Atletico Madrid in points. Moved up to sixth place. In the relegation zone, Huelva temporarily "escaped" the relegation zone due to goal difference despite losing to Sevilla, while Numancia, Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna remain at the bottom of the table, the latter of which has struggled to find a win so far.

Binyan's report again tended to dig into Han Sen's behind-the-scenes role: "...... The digital age, the digital team, the digital striker, this is the portrayal of Barcelona now. After a 6-0 win over Valladolid, Barcelona won the first 10 games of the season for the fourth time with a score of more than 4-0, the other three were 6-1 against Sporting Gijón, 6-1 against Atletico Madrid and 5-0 against Almeria, and Barcelona scored a total of 34 goals in 10 rounds, setting a record for the second most goals in the same period in the club's history. The last time a La Liga side scored so many goals in the same league period was back in 1959/60, when Real Madrid, with the likes of Stefano, Puskas and Gento, also scored 34 times in the first 10 games. After the departure of Ronaldo Jr., Messi, who was given more possession opportunities, began to show his assist talent, and his 17 successful breakthroughs brought Barcelona three goals, two of which were direct assists, and one planned to attack. When Samuel Eto'o scored the third goal, he waited for Messi to come and then fell to his knees to express his sincerest thanks to Messi. But Han Sen's huge role can still not be ignored, although Eto'o's first goal came from Alves' assist, but this was also launched by Han Sen, the fourth goal was Han Sen's direct assist, in addition, Han Sen also scored the team's fifth goal, in the league scorer list, also with 6 goals, and Messi, become the team's joint second scorer in the league......"

A few days later, in the second leg of the third round of the Spanish Copa del Rey, relying on Messi's penalty kick before the end, Barcelona defeated Benidorm 1-0 and successfully advanced to the next round of the Copa del Rey. However, the national youth team transferred from Barcelona to Saudi Arabia came with bad news, and the Chinese team first defeated Tajikistan 6-0, defeated Lebanon 3-1 and drew 0-0 with North Korea, and then entered the quarterfinals to face Uzbekistan. At the end of the 90 and 120 minutes, the Chinese national youth team and Uzbekistan both held a 0-0 draw. In the penalty shootout, Wu Xi and Li Zhichao, who played two appearances of the Chinese team, faced the goalkeeper who was played by the defender of the opposing team, but failed to score consecutive penalty kicks, and finally lost 3-4 to Uzbekistan and was eliminated, missing the World Youth Championship finals for two consecutive years. It is worth mentioning that the Uzbek goalkeeper was sent off with a red card at the 119th minute, and because the substitutions were used up, the defenders could only play the penalty shootout in a cameo for the goalkeeper.

"How have you been paying attention to the youth team lately?" Binyan watched Han Sen staring at the report of the national youth events in the "Sports Weekly", and couldn't help asking.

Han Sen sighed and put down the newspaper: "2008 is almost over, you look at these strong teams, as well as Messi and Henry around them, Shijie Cup Qualifiers, Asian Cup Qualifiers, World Youth Championships, World Junior Championships one after another, next year, the Chinese team will have almost no ball to play except for the Asian Cup Qualifiers!" It's been a few months since the Olympics, and there is no news from the national team. ”

Binyan smiled and said, "Are you still worried that you don't play enough football now?" ”

Han Sen Zhengse said: "The blank of the game means that Chinese football will fall into a predicament that I don't know when it will be reversed, and it is almost impossible to maintain the normal operation of the national team without a big competition." The national team, which has existed for a long time in developed football countries, is difficult to operate normally in China without a major competition, let alone improve its level. If it's always so abnormal, when the next Shijie Cup qualifiers start, we will still rush into battle like this time. ”

Binyan rubbed his hands and said: "Yo, now the realm is different, half a year ago I was still thinking about how to sharpen my head to enter the national brand, and now I have directly stood at the height of pointing out the development direction for the national brand." ”

Han Sen said: "You see Zhang Linfan is going to the next 2012 Olympic Games, I talked to their coach last time, if they can't play this World Youth Championships, the team will go home and disband, and the coach will easily bring this team up, and now not only is it distressing, but the next Olympic Games qualifiers have to start all over again, and go into battle in a hurry." ”

Binyan also patted Han Sen on the shoulder: "I can understand your feelings, but you are also a person who has been in and out of the national brand several times, you know what the situation of the Chinese Football Association is now, this year is to make way for the National Olympic team, what funds and opportunities are given to you, and now the National Olympic team is also in the top four, and it is unprecedented, you have not returned to China, and now most people are still sleeping in the credit book!" Han Sen, the great man said that to let some people get rich first, and use the advanced to drive the backward, what you have to do now is not to worry, but to make yourself the richest man quickly, use your influence to call on more young people to play football, and ultimately drive the common prosperity of Chinese football! ”

Han Sen suddenly looked at Binyan in confusion, Binyan was covered in hair, and then Han Sen suddenly grinned: "What the hell you said seems to make sense!" (To be continued......)
