Chapter 183 Ivan Rakitic
"This is the basic operation!"

"During training, beating Ter Stegen was a normal thing for me."

"Ha ha!"

Rakitic looked in a good mood, and also took the initiative to make a joke with the reporter.

But after all, the team lost the game and realized that something was wrong with his speech, Rakitic also quickly stopped the smile on his face.

"But compared to scoring goals, the team's victory is more important to me."

Rakitic shrugged and expressed his regret at losing the game.

Following his words, the reporter also asked:

"The process of this game looks very difficult. It is true for both of you!"

"In the case of leading twice, the opponent completed the lore."

"What do you think the problem is?"

As a recognized good guy in the Barcelona team, Rakitic has a very high emotional intelligence.

Facing the interview camera, he knew that no matter what problems happened to the team, he should not be the one to comment.

"For this game, my teammates and I have paid a lot!"

"You can also see from the process of the game that we put a lot of pressure on our opponents."

"But Barcelona is Barcelona!"

Rakitic smiled and shook his head, showing a compliment.

"They have performed beyond imagination, but we have only performed so well."

"Maybe, this is why we failed to defeat them."

"Really? Then, in your opinion, whose performance in the Barcelona team surprised you the most?" The reporter then asked.

Regarding the reporter's question, Rakitic also considered it for a long time before answering:

"To be honest, Coutinho's performance today is somewhat beyond my expectations!"

"He has shown stronger confrontation ability and is also very active in trying to integrate into the team. I like his performance very much!"

Rakitic speaks more like a Barcelona player.But he himself didn't seem to be aware of this.

"Of course, there are two forwards, Aguero and Depay. It's really uncomfortable to be against them!"

"Ha ha!"

Rakitic touched his forehead and laughed heartily.

After a few words of laughter, he spoke the last words.

"But having said that, the one that impresses me the most is Barcelona's left winger Qin Ming!"

As Qin Ming performed better and better, he naturally became the focus of media attention.

Now as long as the players mention Qin Ming in an interview, they will definitely be questioned by reporters.

For Rakitic, his interview today is no exception.

"For this young junior, Ivan, what do you think of his strength?"

"He just won the La Liga player of the month award!"

What the reporter said was obviously intended to give Rakitic some hints.

However, Rakitic, who has been paying attention to Barcelona, ​​knows a lot about Qin Ming.

"In recent months, Qin has been one of the players who has attracted much attention in La Liga!"

"In my opinion, he's a very good striker."

"However, my previous knowledge of him was all from the media and the Internet, which was somewhat one-sided and insufficient."

"Fighting against him in the game today, I truly realized his unparalleled talent!"

Speaking of this, Rakitic shook his head with his mouth pursed, showing a helpless expression.

"As far as the goal that was lore at the end, my positioning and defensive choices are not bad."

"But Chin, he played just like those games before, finishing off and scoring the ball!"

"Such a thing seems very easy to him. It's so easy that I have doubts—"

"Is such a player really a young player who has just stepped into La Liga and has just come of age?"

"Wow, his performance is really unbelievable!"

Accompanied by his exaggerated tone, Rakitic also showed a surprised expression to the camera!

His sudden performance also made the reporters laugh out loud.

"Ha ha!"

"OK, Ivan! Let's ask one last question."

"You know, the final of the Copa del Rey is about to start. The two sides of this game are Barcelona and Atletico Madrid!"

"It goes without saying that Barcelona is your old club. And in the lineup of Atletico Madrid, there are Suarez and Griezmann that you are very familiar with!"

"For these two teams, who do you think will win the final crown?"

Facing the reporter's question, Rakitic blurted out the answer without even thinking about it.

"Barcelona!"

"Of course it's Barcelona!!"

After stroking his long golden hair, he organized his language well and explained:

"The current Barcelona team and the Barcelona team I met at the beginning of the season are completely two different teams!"

"Today they are tenacious, young and brave. They are fully capable of defeating opponents like Atletico Madrid!"

After speaking the answers, the interview was originally over.

Just when the reporters and colleagues were about to pack up and leave the player channel.

Rakitic trotted back and smiled at the camera.

"Hi, Qin! And my old teammates!"

"I wish you all the best in the finals!"

Getting three points from Sevilla doesn't mean much to Barcelona.

In Rangnick's view, what he values ​​more is the different things shown by the players in this game.

Coutinho's state has recovered. Although he is still a bit of a lone wolf in the game, he is more active on the defensive end. This is a very positive signal for Barcelona.

In addition, Pedri and Dembele, who came off the bench in this game, also gave Rangnick a different impression.

Today's Dembele is active, and in many scenes, he is more willing to cooperate with his teammates.

Although he is still not so perfect in some passing routes and handling methods.

But as a rotation player on the wing, as long as he can maintain his current state, Rangnick is satisfied enough with him.

Due to Coutinho's return, Pedri's playing time has become less than before.

For such a gap, the best young player in the European Cup seems to be very used to it.

Whether in daily training or in today's game, he interpreted Rangnick's positioning as an offensive midfielder quite well.

For Rangnick, he has more choices when arranging lineups and formulating tactics.

In the position of central midfielder, Menino belongs to the defensive type, and De Jong belongs to the controlling type.

Now that Pedri is slowly adapting to the identity of an offensive central midfielder, Barcelona can produce different combinations of feelings in the changes in the midfield.

Once Rangnick chooses to make on-the-spot adjustments, his opponents will be caught off guard.
