Big back

Chapter 36 Self-knowledge
Because it is only a competition for the youth group, the audience rate is not high. Although Barcelona has a strong football atmosphere, it is still difficult for most fans to show a strong interest in the competition between young players.

So when Fan Bizhuang came to the stands with the Spring Festival, the surrounding figures seemed a bit sparse.Not only the stand where he is, but also the stands in several other directions are mottled. It is estimated that apart from the relatives and friends of the young players, there are only some reporters who came to follow and some clubs. Here come the scouts.

The huge Camp Nou stadium has a capacity of nearly 10 people. At this time, the attendance rate is estimated to be less than [-]. The few fans are sitting in each stand. From a distance, it looks like a piece of The potholed vegetable field is embarrassingly decayed.

Fan Bizhuang didn't feel too much. He led the Spring Festival, found the seats of his teammates, and sat down.He is a member of the La Masia training camp, and Camp Nou is their territory, so the gatekeepers at the stadium didn't find any faults. They just asked him to take care of his pet, and then let him go.

"Hi Fan, good morning."

Seeing Fan Bizhuang sitting down, the first thing that greeted him was Lauren's bright smiling face. He and Fan Bizhuang were separated by two seats, so he stood up and waved, and then waved his hand at the Spring Festival, "You too in the morning OK, Spring Festival."

As for the master's new little follower, Spring Festival is quite familiar, he ran over to rub Lauren's palm wagging his tail, and then ran back to Fan Bizhuang's side, lying down to take a nap obediently.

The last time he got into trouble on the site of Bilbar Athletic, and was reprimanded a lot during the Spring Festival, he behaved a lot this time, so when he got into the stands, he simply fell asleep and dozed off.

Fan Bizhuang nodded, leaning back against the seat, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

He didn't have any conversations with the teammates around him. On the one hand, it was because of his personality, and on the other hand, there was no one he was familiar with.During this period of time, although Fan Bizhuang was still extremely indifferent to people and things as before, there were at least a few people who could talk to him a few words.

Needless to say, Lauren is a dog-legged follower. Heffren and Crosas have also communicated with him. Even Bojan sometimes discusses with him about how to pass the ball and how to move.

But unfortunately, except for Lauren, several other young players who can talk to him are all off the court at the moment, preparing for the upcoming game against Valencia.

Fan Bizhuang was also so happy. Vilanova said that today is a holiday for him, let him relax, and he really treats it as a holiday. There will be no big difference between sleeping in Tongs and sleeping in the stands.

But such a wish did not really come true, because not long after, Vilanova also came to the stands.He sat beside Fan Bizhuang, seeing that Fan Bizhuang was still asleep with his eyes closed, so he stretched out his hand and slapped his face twice.

Fan Bizhuang always responded with fists to guys who disturbed his dreams, but when he saw Vilanova's expressionless face, he held back the impulse in his heart.

"This is not Tongs. Still the same sentence, if you want to beat me up, when you can make me look different, then please feel free."

Vilanova didn't even look back, just stared at the two teams that had already played on the field: "Now, please watch the game carefully."

After a pause, Vilanova explained in a rare way: "Sometimes watching the game is more effective than just practicing hard. If you are not too stupid, you may learn a lot of useful things from it."

Fan Bizhuang nodded thoughtfully, then looked intently at the court.

.....................................................................................................................

Valencia, nicknamed the Bat Legion, is a traditional giant in Spain's top league, and their youth training camp is also one of the most successful training camps in Spain, training first-class stars such as Mendieta, Albelda, Vicente, etc. .

In the youth group league, Valencia is an out-and-out strong team. Currently in the standings, they are only behind Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, ranking third, and their strength is evident.

The Barcelona reserve team has not had a good time in the youth league. When facing a strong opponent like Valencia, they are often beaten all over the floor.

This is why Barcelona fans don't like to watch the club's echelon games at all levels. La Masia's ability to cultivate outstanding young players is outstanding, but in this training process, the games played are terrible, and they are always beaten by their opponents. It's so embarrassing, this scene is always being abused by others, unless there is something wrong with the brain, otherwise the ghost is willing to watch.

There was obviously no accident in this game. Although it was a home game, Barcelona's young players were suppressed by the visiting team in turn and conceded the ball in the 7th minute.

The young player named Paco Alcacer, wearing the No. [-] jersey, used his skillful feet to easily dribble the ball into the penalty area, and volleyed to break through Barcelona's goal.

After 2 minutes, Valencia's big defender Albiol took advantage of a corner kick and once again pushed the football into the home team's goal.

Conceded two goals in a row within 3 minutes, which was worse than the performance in the last round of away game against Athletic Bilbao.Before the start of the game, there were Barcelona fans starting to leave the stadium in the stands - the fans couldn't stand it anymore, let's not talk about the embarrassment of the scene, and they fell behind by two goals as soon as the kick-off. It is estimated that by the end of the game, I don't know yet How many goals will the opponent score?Forget it, I still don't watch it, I will cry if I watch too much.

In fact, this is not to blame for Barcelona's young players. At this age, the Barcelona reserve team does not have much advantage compared to other club reserve players in other aspects except for passing and receiving.And Valencia has always been a veteran team in the youth group. More importantly, not only have a group of outstanding young players such as Alcacer, Guetta, and Gil emerged in the Valencia reserve team this season. , and veteran players like Albiol and David Silva have also experienced the experience of the first team, but they were sent to the reserve team to maintain their status because they could not play in the first team.

Such a combination of new and old, powerful Valencia, Rao Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao will have a headache, there is no certainty of winning, let alone the Barcelona reserve team, which has always been at the tail end.

It is also reasonable to be beaten by opponents at home.

At the end of the first half, Alcacer scored another goal, temporarily locking the score at 3:0.

.....................................................................................................................

There were not many fans in the stands, and with the continuous departure of people, the entire Camp Nou stadium looked more empty and cold.

The fans around Fan Bizhuang were even more sparsely populated, while Lauren and several other young players who were not selected for the squad were sighing aside, scolding Valencia for being shameless, using the big to bully the small, and Complaining that the team is not good enough, being 360-degree all-round without dead ends and various fancy tricks.

Later, Lauren and the others became more and more interested in talking about it. They actually clamored what they would do if they let me play.

Fan Bizhuang just found it boring and didn't want to participate in the meaningless discussions of these guys.

Vilanova turned around and asked him, "What do you think?"

"Good, very good."

This kind of answer made Vilanova's face almost black. Why do you say that, your team was defeated, and you still said it was good?The skill of this ridicule is no one else.

Seeing the rare look of sullenness on Vilanova's face that seemed to be forever calm, Fan Bizhuang only felt relieved in his heart, but this was not enough, so he added to his anger: "I mean, Valencia played well."

"..."

On Barcelona's territory, in front of the Barcelona coach, and at the same time as a member of La Masia's youth academy, is it really okay for you to praise your opponent without any scruples?
Even with Vilanova's indifferent temperament, he was suffocated by Fan Bizhuang's words, and wished to jump up and give the local government a big ear.

"Am I wrong?"

Looking at Vilanova, who was faintly showing signs of going crazy, Fan Bizhuang's mood was as refreshing as drinking a can of frozen soda on a hot day. He glanced at the opponent lightly, and his eyes returned to the court.

"Valencia's overall cooperation is very smooth. Whether it is offense or defense, they are orderly and purposeful. Their confrontation ability is very good, their style of play is simple and direct, and there are a few guys with outstanding personal abilities. There are overall outstanding personal abilities, tsk tsk..."

"Looking at our team, we are very familiar with each other's passes and receptions, but I always feel that something is missing. Is it because of the rhythm? You see, as long as the opponent is close to the press, the pass success rate will decrease. Now...and our attack...cough cough, passing back and forth but always circling in place..."

Following Fan Bizhuang's statement, Vilanova gradually calmed down. He listened quietly and carefully, occasionally nodding slightly. After Fan Bizhuang stopped, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then spoke again: "If you were on the court instead, what would you do?"

"No way." Fan Bizhuang shook his head, "If I were on the court, I would probably perform worse than them. I know my strengths and what I am capable of. No qualifications."

"You do have self-knowledge."

Vilanova grinned and suddenly smiled.
