What ball king, call me ball god

April 4, the day before the Champions League semi-final.

Ajax team has come to Barcelona.

The first leg was played at Camp Nou, Barcelona's home stadium.

Generally speaking, it is normal to come two days in advance, but it is a little nervous to come one day in advance.

Fortunately, the distance between the Netherlands and Spain is not far.

As soon as the Ajax team arrived in Barcelona, ​​they immediately went to the hotel, rested all morning, and went to Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium in the afternoon to step on the field.

After stepping on the field, I went directly to the Espanyol training base for training. The Espanyol and Barcelona are also rivals in the same city. Ajax asked the Espanyol team to borrow the training base, and the Espanyol team immediately agreed. , of course, there is another reason because the Spanish team is a Chinese-funded team.

Ajax's training time is only one afternoon and a little time in the evening.

After arriving at the training base, Lin Kedi also met with Wu Lei and chatted for a while.

"Brother Lei, you are in good form recently, scoring 2 goals!"

"No way, only 10 goals in 2 games. And seriously, you guys are really hot lately. The whole of Europe is talking about Ajax, especially you, Kobayashi, I'm in several newspapers in Barcelona I have seen the news about you. Barcelona would like to introduce you."

"I guess it is unlikely to go to Barcelona. I personally prefer to go to the Premier League."

Lei Ge is not an outsider, so Lin Kedi also revealed some open secrets.After all, in an interview, Lin Kedi expressed his preference for the rhythm of the Premier League.

"It's true that the ratings and excitement of the Premier League are better."

"By the way, Brother Lei, are there any players in China who want to study abroad? You know, I really don't know that much about the people in the Chinese Super League."

"Xiao Lin, you are going to play in the Champions League semi-finals tomorrow. It is really rare that you are still so concerned about domestic players studying abroad. I am also concerned about this matter. It is true. For example, the Spaniards are very concerned about domestic players studying abroad. The situation, after all, is also a Chinese-funded team, and the Spaniard has taken a fancy to Zhu Chenjie."

"Zhu Chenjie, it was his first start for the national team. He played very well. He is only 19 years old, so young."

"Yes, he is also from the Genbao training base. I asked him about studying abroad. He told me that he was lucky to play the main force in Shenhua this season due to various coincidences. This is a rare thing. , he hopes to play a full season before choosing to study abroad."

"Well, defenders need experience, and it's good to play for a full season, but it's not easy to find a team in the winter window."

"Yes, Xiao Zhu also said that you can go to the second-tier league, or the lower reaches of the Eredivisie. It's better to be a team that can play in the competition."

"In fact, you can consider the Bundesliga Bundesliga, which is more friendly to Asian players. Now the first step is to gain a firm foothold. Of course, the Bundesliga Bundesliga and the Belgian league are fine! Many Japanese players choose Belgium for their first match abroad. League."

"Indeed. By the way, Jiang Shenglong is also from Genbao Football Base. As far as I know, he also wants to study abroad. He is also the main rotation position in Shenhua this season. He and Zhu Chenjie are often partners. Both of them were born in 00. Both are 19 years old, and both come from the Genbao Football Base. If both of them can study abroad, then the future central defender combination of the national football team will not have to worry—hey, why do I say so much, this is all for the future Yes, Kobayashi, what you have to think about now is tomorrow's Champions League semi-final, don't think too much about anything else, the whole Espanyol team supports you and Ajax!"

That evening, in the conference room of the hotel, Ten Hag had a meeting.

All the players went into the locker room after dinner.

Lin Kedi subconsciously wanted to sit in the last row.

"Lin, come on, sit in the first row. There are many things you need to know about tomorrow's game."

Lin Kedi was helpless after hearing this, so he sat in the first row.

Seeing that everyone was in place, Ten Hag took the PPT page turner.

"This is the list of the most likely Barcelona starting lineup that we predict tomorrow."

"The goalkeeper position, there is nothing to say about this position. Unless Ter Stegen is injured, the main goalkeeper position is his. Cillessen's level is still not good.

On the defensive line, the left-back position must be Alba. Recently, his condition has picked up a bit, and he is more adapted to the Barcelona system, so he must be the starter.There is nothing to say about the central defender combination. Langley and Pique are actually not in the best condition, but Umtiti's condition is even worse, so these two are selected from the poor.The last is the right back on the back line. There are several options for this position, but Barcelona's head coach Ernesto Valverde still seeks stability in nature, so it is estimated that Roberto will still be used.

The three midfielders are Vidal, Busquez and Rakitic.

Among the three forwards, the center forward must be Suarez, and the right winger must be Messi.These are two choices. Going to Dembele is to choose a style of play that breaks through from the side. If you choose Coutinho, the style of play on the left is to cooperate and attack more in the ribs.But I guess Valverde will choose Coutinho. After all, Dembele's recent state and injury situation are not very suitable for the intensity of the Champions League semi-finals. "

After Ten Hag finished speaking for a long time, he picked up the water glass and took a sip of ice water.

"One of the biggest problems of this Barcelona team is the aging of personnel. The offensive line is too dependent on Messi, the defensive line is too dependent on Pique, and then Rakitic is used to death. However, as long as one of these three is in good condition At this point, Barcelona’s game looks very thrilling, playing out of order. They can play in La Liga, and the error tolerance rate is high, but in the Champions League, the error tolerance rate is very low, so this is our chance!”

"What others see is that Barcelona has dominated La Liga and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, but many people have not seen the deeper reasons. This Barcelona team is generally aging, and their athletic ability is very insufficient. !Running enthusiasm, running distance, and running speed are gradually unable to adapt to high-intensity confrontation. As for Messi’s shooting finishing ability, Valverde also allows him to go for a walk. In fact, there is nothing to say. There are always players who are There are privileges, but for this part of the running, other teammates need to help him make up for him, but the overall aging Barcelona can't bear so much, especially now at the end of the season! So this is our opportunity, our The players are all young, and high-position pressing and running are our characteristics, so in tomorrow's game, we will press and suppress them as soon as we come up, so that they will be exhausted, and then we will have a chance to win!"
