In the starting lineup, Busquets, Xavi and Gudjohnsen in the midfield, Messi, Bojan and Hleb in the forward line, are actually not the best configuration of the team.

In the 34th minute, the rare start of the left wing-back Silvinho was saved by Christian on the left side of the penalty area, and Bojan hit the empty goal in the small penalty area, and Barcelona led 1-0. In the 48th minute, Xavi stole Sergio in the middle and passed straight, and Bojan broke into the penalty area with a single knife to score, and Barcelona led 2-0. In the 55th minute, Xavi took a tactical corner kick on the right side, Alves crossed from outside the penalty area, Pique grabbed the header and broke the net, and Barcelona led 3-0.

It was a wonderful start, but in the 58th minute, Rufitte's corner kick from the right side was passed to the back post, and Callejon, who came from Real Madrid's academy, volleyed from outside the penalty area, and the ball bounced into the net after touching Busquets's body, making it 3-1. In the 69th minute, Callejon broke through Pique's defense on the left side in front of the penalty area and shot hard, and the ball hung in the far corner of the goal and broke the net, and the score was 3-2 to make the game tense again. Because the two-legged away goal format means that the Spaniards only need to score one more goal to eliminate Barcelona!

As a home game, Guardiola was certainly unwilling to rest on his laurels, so he immediately replaced Bojan and Hleb with Andres Iniesta and Eto'o, effectively stabilizing the game and keeping the score 3-2 until the end. Barcelona is in danger! Continue to survive in the Champions League, league and Copa del Rey competitions! This made Hansen, who rushed back to Barcelona that day, in the stands. With Hamaga, of course Osvaldo was not so happy, after all, the Spaniard was also his big customer. He has far more Espanyol players than Barcelona players.

In February, Barcelona were doing very well overall, and they almost exceeded their targets. Cruyff writes in his latest column that in such a situation, what Guardiola needs to do in the future is to make good use of the rotation system so that the team can start the sprint of the season in good shape. He believes that at the moment, Barcelona are in the dominant position in all competitions. Not only did they take a big lead in the league, but they also reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and reached the last 16 of the Champions League. In my opinion. That's the case with a big club like Barcelona, which means they have to be a serious contender for titles at this stage of the season. As for the games that were played well. Or those big wins with a lot of goals. It's just a part of the fight for honor, not the most important thing. If it's a league, the team's priority is to try to get three points in each game; If it's in a cup competition, the most important thing is to eliminate the opponent and advance. Of course, the team has to always maintain their own style in the process, because if used correctly, the team's consistent style of play will make them stronger.

A problem with a lot of tasks for the team's game. Cruyff believes that Pep Guardiola's rotation policy is one of the main reasons for his excellent results so far, and he also singled out Hansen, who has just taken a "Chinese holiday". It is necessary to play in the next round of the league to return Barcelona to the strongest squad, and at the same time, to support the proper rotation of other players.

As Cruyff began to frequently name Han Sen, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Han Sen's status in the eyes of this Barcelona godfather, just take the topic of him letting Han Sen play as soon as possible, although this seems to be for rotation, in fact, he secretly doesn't want Han Sen to lose his main position because he returns to China to play! Of course, Han Sen did not forget his master in Barcelona, he came this time to bring Cruyff Hangzhou's best dragon well, but Cruyff did not show special affection, just as a piece of Han Sen's heart, solemnly accepted it.

And Cruyff's column is not groundless, but with a certain premonition, the reason why he released such words is because some time ago Han Sen played more, and this national team trip Han Sen is more like a holiday, if Han Sen is immediately put on the field, it seems to cause a subtle rebellion in the deep-rooted La Masia youth camp and even the Spanish camp. Guardiola's subsequent arrangement also confirmed this, in the following 21st round of away games against Racing Santander, did not send Hansen to start, but sent a combination of Xavi, Busquets and Toure, but I don't know if it was to deliberately find a feeling of not playing the main force, and Messi did not get the start in the front.

After this round of matches, the door to the winter transfer of La Liga is also officially closed. Overall, affected by the financial turmoil, the La Liga winter transfer market is weak, and only Real Madrid spent 40 million euros to buy Huntelaar and Russ from Ajax and Portsmouth? Diarra, Dutchman Huntelaar also became the winter transfer bid of La Liga with a value of 27 million euros. On January 31, the day of the winter transfer to Zuihou, Real Betis spent 9 million euros from Zaragoza in La Liga to buy Brazilian striker Oliveira, who once played for AC Milan, after difficult negotiations. In terms of departing players, Atletico sold the ownership of Reyes to Benfica for 8 million euros; Getafe reached an agreement with the player to terminate the contract of goalkeeper Abondan Seeli, and the Argentine will return to Boca Juniors; Villarreal's American striker Altidore, who exchanged jerseys with Han Sen during the warm-up of the Chinese Olympic team in the United States, was loaned to Jerez in La Liga.

Back to this round of the game, Barcelona, which lacked Messi and Hansen, the two main offensive and scoring points in the team, quickly paid the price! Santander broke the deadlock in the 56th minute when Marcos tackled Jonathan behind in the box and received his sixth yellow card of the season, and Barcelona was awarded a penalty! Renowned high school striker Nikkic fired a penalty into the bottom left corner of the net for his fourth league goal of the season.

Pep Guardiola then replaced Sergio Busquets with Messi, a move that drew attention from Hansen. That meant dropping back Andres Iniesta up front to play in midfield, rather than using himself on the bench. Messi's introduction was immediate, Barcelona equalized in the 65th minute, Henry crossed from the left, Xavi hit the crossbar with a header from six yards out, and Messi shot into the net from the right side of the small penalty area, which was Messi's fourth consecutive league goal. Then, Barcelona took the lead in the 80th minute, the opposing defender Marcano failed to clear the high ball in time on the edge of the penalty area, Messi stumbled and stopped the ball and fired a diagonal shot into the far corner from 10 yards on the right side of the penalty area. It was Barca's 5,000th goal in La Liga. It was also Messi's 25th goal of the season, including 16 in the league. Before the end, Marcos and Pique were both sent off for two yellow cards, Iniesta was replaced by defender Cáceres as a supplementary defence, and Eto'o was replaced by Gudjohnsen with less than 4 minutes left in the game, and finally Barcelona made another thrilling comeback away from home, taking all three points and continuing to lead the league standings with a 12-point advantage, while Hansen has not played for Barcelona in four consecutive games.

Just when Han Sen was still a little confused, the fifth game he missed followed, which was the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at home against Mallorca! Pep Guardiola fielded a combination of Yaya Toure, Gudjohnsen and Andres Iniesta in midfield, while Hleb, Bojan and Thierry Henry up front.

Although Barcelona still rotated and substituted mainly in this game, Messi and Busquets replaced Henry and Gudjohnsen around the 50th minute of the game, and Eto'o replaced Bojan for a few minutes in Zuihou, acting as a tactical substitution. In the game, Barcelona was bloodless, using two goals from Henry and Marcos in the second half to win 2-0 at home against Hansen's old club.

I originally thought that it would be just a trip back to the country and a New Year, but now Han Sen has missed 2 rounds of La Liga 3 Copa del Rey games in a row under the condition that his physical condition is completely normal, and he has missed 5 games in a row. (To be continued......)
