i want to be king

Chapter 341 Barcelona is out of money!
In the tenth round of La Liga, Barcelona reversed again!
Why say it again?
Because I don't know how many times this is.

After returning from the Champions League, they played against Deportivo at home. Irueta's team turned away from the start and launched a wave of rushing attacks. In just 7 minutes, Munitis broke through from the right and made a pass. The defensive players in the center failed to clear the siege in time. After stopping the ball in the chest, the Spanish left forward Forlan volleyed from the far corner and hit it.

During the process of Fran stopping and volleying, there were no defensive players around him.

Where did Marcos go?
He went to make up for the central defender's leak and went to fight for the spot.

What about the two central defenders?

Puyol pressed out to grab, and Oleg directly vacated the position.

I don't know how many times such mistakes have occurred this season.

……

Just 5 minutes after Deportivo scored, Barcelona's offense also began to exert its strength.

Ronaldinho sent a direct pass from the left, and Su Dong crossed the left side of the penalty area obliquely at high speed. After getting the ball and passing the center back Romero, he volleyed with his left foot and successfully equalized the score for Barcelona.

Subsequently, Barcelona Villarreal launched a fierce attack.

No. 308 minutes, Ronaldinho sent a direct pass in a quick counterattack. Su Dong broke into the left rib of the penalty area against offside and volleyed vigorously.

Two to one!

Another reversal!

This score was also maintained until the end of the game.

With the goals of Sudong and Giuly, Barcelona reversed Deportivo [-]-[-].

…………

…………

Got a precious three points, but the outside world's evaluation of Barcelona is quite contradictory.

World Sports Daily was full of praise for Barcelona's offense.

"Barcelona's powerful offensive made Deportivo continue to show its flaws. In the end, they even had to adopt a strategy of strictly guarding against death, so they barely defended the goal."

"Barcelona played great football!"

World Sports News believes that whether it is a flash of inspiration from a superstar or a flash of quicksilver, Barcelona's offensive system has reached the point where it is impossible to defend, and the goals are easy to come by, making all opponents shudder.

But the World Sports Daily also said, "Defense has become the biggest obstacle preventing Barcelona from moving forward!"

This Barcelona mouthpiece listed various problems in Barcelona's defense this season, and believes that it is necessary for the team to strengthen signings during the winter break, especially the introduction of defensive players in the midfield, so as to ensure that the team can go further in the Champions League.

……

The national derby is imminent, and the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, AS, also spoke highly of Barcelona's offense. It believes that the front trident composed of Su Dong, Ronaldinho and Giuly is not inferior to Real Madrid's superstar lineup.

"Judging from the performance of the last two rounds, Barcelona's biggest problem appears on the defensive end."

Aspen analyzed the two games between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao and Deportivo. All of them conceded the ball first and then reversed it through a strong offense, even when facing Juventus in the Champions League.

"That creates a huge risk."

"Relying on the continuous goals of the prosperous Sudong and the flashes of Ronaldinho's inspiration, Barcelona can make up for the mistakes in the defense line through continuous offensive goals, but once Sudong fails to score goals and Ronaldinho fails, then what will Barcelona rely on to reverse the opponent?"

Aspen believes that the weak defense makes the current Barcelona look strong, but in fact it is very fragile.

On the other hand, Real Madrid, after the turmoil of the coaching change, have kept a clean sheet in the last three rounds and scored five goals, showing a very stable performance.

"We have every reason to believe that in the upcoming national derby at Camp Nou, Real Madrid has the opportunity to overturn Barcelona and interrupt Barcelona's winning streak this season!"

The national derby will be held in the Nou Camp in the twelfth round.

……

Not only Mundo Deportivo and Aspen, but even Barcelona's godfather Cruyff slammed Barcelona's defense in his column.

"With such defensive strength, it's hard for me to imagine how far they can go in the Champions League knockout round!"

Cruyff was very dissatisfied with the team's defense. He said that if Barcelona is determined to achieve results in the Champions League and win La Liga, it must introduce defensive players during the winter break to strengthen the team's defense.

Cruyff's judgment was not without reason.

In the column, the godfather of Barcelona came up with a piece of data, saying that Barcelona's player with the most steals this season turned out to be Deco.

"This reflects problems on two levels. First, Barcelona does have a group of players who are both offensive and defensive, and at the same time superior in strength, such as Deco and Xavi. They are both very good."

"Second, under the banner of offensive football, the team's key defensive areas are being pushed forward, and Deco and Harvey have become the most important barriers for the team's midfield defense."

"But conversely, from the first question, it can be seen that Deco and Harvey must be too distracted by the team's defense, unable to focus on offense and organization. From the second question, it can be seen that the players in the Barcelona team are very clear. Once they pass through the defense of Deco and Harvey, the opponent will easily form a shot or even score a goal. This is very dangerous."

Cruyff said that Barcelona is the weakest team in La Liga. The three fronts are very long and the schedule is very dense. This is not conducive to the maintenance of the players' state, and there will definitely be ups and downs.

Once the frontcourt offense is unfavorable, what should the defense do?
If other teams have seized this weakness of Barcelona, ​​can Barcelona's offense still be able to play?

Isn't that the problem with Galacticos Real Madrid?

In the end, Cruyff affirmed Barcelona's achievements this season, including football style, and the best offensive firepower in La Liga. It is also one of the teams with the fewest goals conceded, but he said that the data cannot truly reflect the whole picture of the game.

"Especially in the last few games, as the season progresses, it is clear that Barcelona's defense is becoming more and more problematic."

……

From the media to celebrities, from the head coach to the players, almost everyone knows that Barcelona needs to strengthen its defense.

Club chairman Laporta and vice-chairman Russell also came forward one after another, saying that Barcelona is formulating a winter break signing plan, and the most important thing is to strengthen the signing of the midfield.

Rijkaard also said in an interview with the media that he hopes the team can introduce a midfielder during the winter break.

"That would put Marcos back in defense, with Puyol."

Obviously, Rijkaard is not satisfied with Oleg's performance.

Both Edmilson and Motta were injured, which resulted in no one in Barcelona's delayed midfielder, and Marcos had to be pushed up, but in this way, there was another problem with the defense.

There was news before that Barcelona wanted to sign Zaragoza's central defender Gabriel Milito, but the transfer has been delayed.

Now, with the appeal of the mouthpiece and Cruyff, Barcelona has also begun to consider strengthening the introduction of the midfielder. The first thing to bear the brunt is the delayed midfielder that Rijkaard wants, so that two problems can be solved in one go.

The main reason is that it is difficult to find central defenders, especially those who meet Barcelona's requirements and can take and play the ball. There are really not many central defenders.

But the position of the back midfielder is also difficult to find.

…………

…………

"According to the information I have received, Barcelona's contacts with Roma and Lazio have all failed."

Mendes brought Su Dong the latest news.

This is also a recent rumor from the outside world. It is said that Barcelona wants to sign Roma midfielder Dacourt.

The performance of this veteran in Rome is not ideal, but Barcelona believes that his strength is still there. The most important thing is that it does not matter if his performance is not good, and the transfer fee is not expensive.

"Barcelona have another target and that is Albertini in Atalanta, who has done well this season."

For Albertini, Su Dong is still very grateful, if he comes to Barcelona, ​​he will be very happy.

But I have to admit that the Italian midfielder is really old, all 33 years old.

Su Dong shook his head and smiled wryly, "Why are you all veterans?"

Mendes smiled and nodded, "Barcelona has no money!"

Su Dong was slightly taken aback, but soon understood the reason.

After joining Barcelona, ​​he gradually learned more inside information. For example, the money that Barcelona signed him was paid in installments, because Valencia gave him a share in installments, and part of the down payment was borrowed from a bank loan, and the other part was raised by selling players.

This is why, now, Barcelona, ​​a majestic La Liga giant, is actually the reason why the first-team lineup is the weakest among the twenty teams in La Liga.

"I originally wanted to recommend Maniche." Mendes seemed a little uninterested. "You know, everyone else has left. Maniche is also very tempted to stay in Porto. He also wants to leave. If possible, I would like him to join Barcelona, ​​but today I had contact with Laporta and Russell..."

Mendez shook his head. "They can't afford Maniche!"

Su Dong smiled wryly, who would believe this?
But this kind of thing doesn't need him to worry about.

He is a professional player, and Laporta and others naturally have to worry about club management.

"I guess, they still want to rent or buy out cheaper players, preferably one or two million euros, but where in the world can they find such good and cheap players?" Mendes couldn't help laughing.

If there are, pack ten of them for me, and sell as many as I have!

Su Dong also felt quite helpless about this. He knew in his heart that Cruyff was right. If this continues, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to enter the Champions League knockout rounds, because the targeted tactics will be stronger at that time.

At that time, the team will continue to be distracted by the two lines of La Liga and the Champions League, and the results will definitely be greatly affected.

Signing is necessary, but the problem is that there is no money now.

Su Dong can imagine that at this moment, the Barcelona management is in a state of desperation.

At this moment, a person suddenly flashed into Su Dong's mind. He had left a deep impression on him before, and he had just seen it in the media not long ago, saying that he hadn't been reused.

Su Dong immediately took the laptop, searched on it, and found it quickly.

"Jorge, what do you think of this player?"

　Sorry, there are too many things during the Spring Festival!I will continue to work hard to keep the third update, and try to fix the update time as much as possible. Please understand, thank you!
