Chapter 374 The “Tikitaka” trend set off by Barcelona (page 12)

The three midfielders who remain on the team need to gain the trust of the new coach as soon as possible.

Vincent Iborra, who joined in 2013, will serve as the team's captain in the new season. However, the appearance rate of last season's captain Reyes (free transfer to Espanyol) was not ideal.

Although Iborra was the absolute main force in the league under former coach Emery (he played very few Europa League games last season), the team now has many options and everything has to start from scratch.

The Frenchman N'Zonzi, who secured the main defensive midfielder position last season, is Krechowiak's first choice partner in domestic and intercontinental competitions. As the first defensive choice in the midfield, his position will not be challenged. big.

Another 22-year-old Uruguayan youngster, Cristoforo, was almost reimbursed for the season last season. He still had some opportunities to perform as a midfield substitute last season. Facing an overcrowded lineup in the new season, he may be loaned to other teams for training.

Last season's captain and veteran Reyes moved to Espanyol on a free transfer, and Danish veteran Dehri will not return until January next year.

The only wing players left are Konoplyanka and Bitolo.

However, considering the tactical choices of new coach Sampaoli and the availability of many new players on the front line, there is not a shortage of personnel.

Moreover, Bitolo and Konoplyanka were the main players on the two wings last season, but Bitolo's characteristics are not in line with Sampaoli's past style, and his playing time in the new season may be affected.

Konoplyanka suffered a rather failed European Cup trip and needed time to regroup. Last season, he failed to show the highlight performance of the 2014-2015 season in the intercontinental arena, and he also played the main role in the league. Gradually reduce.

The main striker Gameiro moved to Atletico Madrid, and the veteran who had few playing opportunities moved to Swansea in the Premier League.

Sevilla invested a lot in rebuilding the forward line in the summer window.

Vietto, a former member of Argentina's national youth team, joined on loan from Atletico Madrid. Last season, he failed to perform as well as he did at Villarreal in the team.

But after all, he is still very young (22 years old). If he can rediscover himself in the 2014-2015 season in Sevilla, he may continue to play at the Pizjuan Stadium (Sevilla has the right to buy out).

Franco Vazquez joined from Palermo in Serie A for 1500 million euros.

This price is equal to the price Sevilla paid for Negredo from Real Madrid in the 08-09 season, and is also the highest price paid for a signing in the history of Sevilla. This shows that Sevilla has high expectations for the Argentine.

Vazquez has been the absolute core of Palermo in the past two seasons, scoring a total of 18 goals and assisting 17 goals. He may appear in the attacking midfielder or second forward position.

Ben Yedder, who transferred from Toulouse for 900 million euros, is an efficient shooter. He has delivered 15+ goals and 5+ assists in Ligue in the past four seasons. However, considering his Compatriot Gameiro also didn't adapt well when he came to La Liga from Ligue .

Whether Ben Yedder can quickly conquer the Pizjuan Stadium remains to be tested in actual combat. The three new signings have their own characteristics and outstanding strength. Juan Munoz, who was promoted from the B team by Sevilla last year, may have a slim chance.

Leganes avoided the treacherous play-offs and defeated Mirandes 1-0 in the away game with Simanovski's corner kick assisting center back Insua to score in the final round of La Liga last season. Garnes made a historic entry into La Liga with a second-place finish in La Liga.

In the same year that Getafe and Rayo Vallecano were relegated to the Spanish Second Division, the Madrid region welcomed a new top league team, the fifth in history.

Leganes and Getafe are geographically "neighbors", and their previous low-level league matches were somewhat like a derby.

However, since Getafe was promoted to La Liga, Leganes has not had many opportunities to compete with its neighbors, and this time it is finally a matter of pride.

In fact, until the end of last season, Leganes showed no signs of reaching the top flight. At that time, the other two promoted teams Osasuna and Alaves were at the top, and Cordoba and Zaragoza also had opportunities.

Leganes, who are good at defense, began to exert their strength at the end of last year, and continued to have two four-game winning streak in the first half of 2016. The performance of winger Simanovski was particularly eye-catching.

However, in the sprint stage, an unexpected home loss to Uusca in the penultimate round (Leganés only lost two games at home last season) temporarily slowed down Leganes' pace of making history.

Then they ushered in a life-and-death battle against Real Oviedo, who was disorganized but still had a chance to upgrade with points.

Gabriel scored first, but within five minutes Oviedo got a penalty kick. Fortunately, goalkeeper Serantes, who had the second lowest goal-conceding rate in La Liga last season, saved the penalty kick and tried to keep the ball. The team took away three points on the road.

This is a crucial victory, because the previous third place Tarragona has closed the points gap to 1 point.

In the next two rounds, Leganes once again won consecutive victories, finally ensuring a direct promotion spot.

As the 61st team in the history of La Liga, it is not easy for Leganes to stay in the top league. Of course, there are also small town teams like Getafe, Eibar, and Villarreal. La Liga stands firm.

Leganes, a satellite city of Madrid, has a population of 20, 5000 registered players (including men's and women's football teams), and 230 amateur teams, which are far more than Eibar and Villarreal.

A total of three clubs had previously failed to survive their debut seasons and never looked back.

The most recent case is the Andalusian team Jerez in the 2009-2010 season (it went bankrupt in 2013 and was relegated from the Spanish second division to three consecutive tiers. It has currently spent two seasons in the Spanish fifth tier league - Andalusia Regional Division). can be upgraded).

How will Leganes end in May next year? let us wait and see.

Asher Garitano may be the only coach in La Liga this season with zero top-flight coaching experience.

When he came to Leganes in 2013, the team was still in Group B of the Spanish Second Division (the third level league).

After successfully leading the team to promotion to La Liga, they successfully avoided relegation in the 10th place in the first season. Last season, they promoted Leganes to La Liga in one fell swoop.

Asher also won the best coach of La Liga last season for his outstanding performance. Leganes first relied on defensive counterattack tactics during their two seasons in Segunda División, and then Asher resorted to forwardless formations many times. Through this, the team achieved the largest goal difference and the best goal difference in La Liga Segunda División. After the home record, they successfully entered La Liga.

However, after losing several offensive rotation players in the new season, it is still unknown how much power they can exert in La Liga.

The veteran goalkeeper Pina, who has played for two seasons, moved to West Second Division Uusca on a free transfer in the summer window. Leganes loaned young goalkeeper Brunoli, who played for Sampdoria last season, from Juventus.

The team still has not found the No. 3 goalkeeper and does not rule out temporarily transferring him from Team B.

The main goalkeeper Cerantes came from the Barcalado youth training. After playing for Bilbao's second team for three seasons, he moved to Leganes in 2014 and gradually established himself as the main goalkeeper.

In the 2015-2016 season, he played 41 times and conceded 38 goals, averaging only more goals per game than Girona's goalkeeper Becerra. Unfortunately, he failed to win the best goalkeeper in La Liga.

However, the La Liga test that this Basque boy has to face is unprecedented for him. Last season’s Copa del Rey encounter between Leganes and La Liga team Granada, the result was 2-2 in two rounds (less goals scored away from home). ), the goalkeeper is veteran Pina.
