Chapter 143 Athletic Bilbao
"Hi everyone, welcome to the new San Mamés stadium!"

When the home DJ's voice suddenly sounded above the stadium, Qin Ming recovered from the shock.

The new San Mames Stadium, the home stadium of Athletic Bilbao, is really shocking!
The square fan area, red and white home support colors.

More than 5 home spectators were uniform and well-proportioned.

Looking around, what Qin Ming seemed to see was not the home fans, but a well-disciplined army.

This is too great!
"Is this your first time here? Haha, you'll be fine after you get used to it!" Seeing Qin Ming beside him with a stunned expression, Pique smiled.

"Pique, Athletic Bilbao fans, has this always been the style?"

Seeing the home fans in the stands acting in unison, Qin Ming had a look of incredulity.

This scene is really too rare!
Pique knew what Qin Ming was talking about, and he nodded in affirmation.

"That's right! Maybe this is their club culture!"

Seeing Qin Ming's very interested expression, Pique patiently explained to him.

"In the Spanish Serie A, Athletic is a very special team!"

"What kind of special law?"

Hearing the unusualness in Pique's words, Qin Ming asked suspiciously.

"As a Basque country team, they only want to use Basque players!" Pique replied.

"What? What is this operation?"

When Peake's words came to his ears, Qin Ming's first reaction was that he had heard it wrong.

Today's football industry is highly commercialized.

Not to mention La Liga teams, even teams in Spain's third-tier league are basically international teams.

About half of the registered players, plus some cost-effective foreign players, just form a standard staffing.

The team under this matching mode not only meets the needs of competitive strength, but also does not need to consume too much transfer funds.

It can be said that it is the most mature club formation plan!

However, according to what Pique just said, Athletic Bilbao in front of them only uses Basque players.

This is not just a country, this is just a region of Spain!

This kind of thing happened in the 21st century, it's too dreamy!
"Then their grades will definitely not be very stable!"

Qin Ming is very confident in his judgment.

The historical performance of the club is determined by the strength of the players.

According to the selection method of Athletic Bilbao, the average strength of the players cannot be guaranteed at all.

After all, no one can guarantee that the Basque Country can continue to produce strong players, and the number is sufficient.

However, facing the very confident Qin Ming in front of him, Pique smiled and shook his head.

"In this matter, you are really wrong in your judgment!"

"Since the establishment of La Liga, only three teams have never been relegated! Apart from us and Real Madrid, the last team is Athletic Bilbao!!"

"In addition, in the King's Cup, their performance is also very stable. The number of times Athletic Bilbao has reached the King's Cup final ranks second among all Spanish teams!"

Having said that, Pique paused, with a proud look on his face.

"Of course, we are the ones with the most number of times!!"

"what?"

Qin Ming never expected that the facts were quite different from his imagination!
In fact, there are not a few people who have the same idea as him.

In the more than 120 years of Athletic Bilbao's team history, many football commentators have expressed doubts about their special selection method.

But obviously, the final facts show that it is not Athletic Bilbao who is wrong!

Of course, some sociologists have also analyzed the reasons for the success of Athletic Bilbao's model.

They believe that it is this unique selection method that has created the unique team culture of this team.

Loyalty, unity, firm forward!

This is exactly the same as what Qin Ming saw from the home fans!
"Dear viewers and friends, the pre-match warm-up session for players from both sides is over!"

"It looks like the first round of the Copa del Rey semi-final is about to start!"

The game is about to start, and the commentary on the Spanish line is also entered into the live channel.

"In the Spanish Super Cup final in the middle of last season, Athletic Bilbao defeated Barcelona 3:2 to win the title!"

"And in the Copa del Rey final at the end of the season, Barcelona defeated their opponents 4:0 and completed their revenge!"

"Judging from the records of the last few matches between the two sides, each has its own winners and losers, and each has its own merits!"

"So today, who can take the lead in the first round of the semi-finals, everything is still unknown."

"Then please wait and see!"

While the commentary was making the opening remarks, the live stream also gave Athletic Bilbao's starting lineup today.

Forwards: Inaki Williams, Sanshet
Midfielders: Muniain, Dani Garcia, Vincedore, Berenguer

Defenders: Leque, Yare, Martinez, De Marcos
Goalkeeper: Simon

"For today's game, Athletic Bilbao has carried out a large-scale lineup rotation in La Liga three days ago!"

Looking at the home team's starting roster, the commentary also explained it very carefully.

"The core of the team, I-Williams, Muniain and DeMarcos, etc., have all been fully rested. For their performance today, everyone can have certain expectations!"

"On the front line of the team, the home team coach Marcelino made a small adjustment."

"Today's game, he did not use Raul Garcia to start, but sent a young striker, the 22-year-old Oyen Sanshet!"

"I don't know if this adjustment will become the winner of the home team? You can also look forward to it!"

To be honest, seeing this adjustment on the roster, the commentator was stunned for a moment.

Because everyone still recognizes Raul Garcia's strength.

Although he is almost 36 years old, he was once the vice-captain of Atletico Madrid, and his ability is definitely higher than that of Sanshet.

Regarding this personnel adjustment, the commentator also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Marcelino's gourd.

As for Barcelona's starting list, the commentary just went through it quickly, and did not conduct a detailed analysis.

After all, at this stage, Barcelona's game lineup has been relatively fixed.

Except for occasional rotations in the league, Rangnick generally rarely adjusts the starting lineup.

Show your cards!
This seems to be a somewhat confident operation, but for Rangnick, it is actually a choice that has no other choice.

After all, the strength gap between Barcelona's starting lineup and the bench is greater than the gap between humans and dogs!

After the list of players from both sides was introduced, the referee's whistle sounded at the right time.

Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, Athletic Bilbao VS Barcelona!

Game start!
