Vol 5 Chapter 183: First defeat!

The Golden Globes have never been so clean on the bright side, even if these are on the dark side, there will always be something ridiculous.
Earlier, Yi Le was also selected as a candidate for the Golden Globe Awards, but at that time Yi Le was just a teenager who accompanied him on the run, without much threat.
But this time is different. As a strong candidate for this year's Golden Globe Awards, the capital behind other players will always find ways to deal with Yi Le.
However, they have been unable to grasp Yi Le's pigtails, which also made them feel quite distressed.
FC Barcelona is also sparing no effort to promote Yi Le.
In the past, they devoted 100% of their experience to Messi, but this time, Messi chose to abandon the Golden Globe competition, but gave up resources to Yi Le.
For Messi, all he wants is victory.
Neymar's departure made Messi wake up a lot. He knew that if he wanted to keep Yi Le, he had to pay more.
Besides, he already has a lot of honors, why not leave the opportunity to young people?
Moreover, Yi Le’s performance in recent times is too good, Barcelona can perform so well in the first few rounds, Yi Le is indispensable.
Messi does not feel that this is a gift to Yi Le!
After winning the Champions League three times in a row, Yi Le has already accumulated enough power, and now he wants to accumulate more.
Even Messi could not even think of the reason why Yi Le failed to win the Golden Globe Award.
...
The farce is over and La Liga is back on track.
In the fourth round of La Liga, Barcelona challenged Granada away.
As a team that has just completed an upgrade to enter La Liga last season, Valverde does not feel that the opponent can win himself, even in their home court.
In this game, Messi and Yi Le were pressed on the bench.
De Jong came off the bench.
As a substitute player, De Jong's situation has become even more difficult since Yi Le came to the Nou Camp.
At the same time, Yi Le's excellent performance also made him want to leave Barcelona.
Judging from past training matches and competition results, he does not feel that he can shake Yi Le's position in the team.
Just like the tactics arranged by the head coach.
In this game, De Jong, Busquets and Rakitic formed a triangular partner to prop up the midfielder.
The three are irrelevant, and if they insist, Busquets will hold the ball longer.
But in previous games, Barcelona did not play like this.
With Yi Le's repressive power in the midfield, Barcelona's basic tactical rule is to hand over the ball to Yi Le.
From this we can see the status of Yi Le in the team and the degree of trust the team has in Yi Le.
De Jong wanted to play like this, but he knew he couldn't play like Yi Le.
He was far short of his physical confrontation ability alone.
In the duel, De Jong is easy to be knocked down, instead of being able to hold and play the ball steadily in a two-person defense like Yi Le, to help the team stabilize the midfield.
De Jong understood that Valverde was pacifying himself by sending him on the field.
Valverde is always looking forward to a spark between himself and Yi Le. After all, Booth is old and Yi Le needs a midfield partner. De Jong is a good choice.
It’s just that De Jong and Yi Le’s roles conflict with each other, and it is difficult for De Jong to change his way of playing.
In this game, De Jong played a supporting position.
Valverde had a 4-4-2 formation.
They don't feel much pressure on Granada.
However, as soon as the game started, an accident occurred.
Facing the impact of Granada, only two minutes after the start of the game, Barcelona left-back Filpo made a fatal error.
His aggressive forward thrust led to a huge gap in the left rear, and the Granada player Aziz looked for the right opportunity and smashed in with the ball to complete the goal.
The whole stadium was full of cheers from Granada fans, but Barcelona was stunned.
Even Yi Le felt a little weird.
This kind of low-level mistake made him very puzzled.
It seems that the recent big victories have made Barcelona's players somewhat inflated.
Barcelona coach Valverde's face is also ugly. He didn't expect the opponent to score in just 2 minutes.
This is not the same as his envisioned game safety.
The tactics he deployed were not kicked out at all.
Next, the game restarted, but Granada played better and better. On the other hand, Barcelona entered a kind of chaos.
The midfielder throws the ball indiscriminately, and the striker rushes in.
It looked like a mess. All the players seemed to be anxious. They all wanted to score and equalize, but they ignored stability.
At the beginning, Yi Le and Messi could talk a few words, but in the following time, the two stopped talking, but looked at the stadium.
They understand that now Barcelona needs someone to stabilize the mentality.
At the end of the first half, Valverde was furious in the locker room, and Barcelona's players were also drooping their heads.
They are also angry, and they always feel that the kick is not so comfortable.
In the second half, Valverde quickly asked Messi to warm up. At the same time, Valverde looked at Yi Le, hesitated for a while, but still did not choose to let Yi Le play.
He still wanted to give De Jong some opportunities, and Valverde felt that Messi was enough.
In 46 minutes, Barcelona made two consecutive substitutions.
Messi comes on and Cales Perez goes off.
Fati comes on and Philpo goes off.
This is about to fight back.
After Messi played, the situation did stabilize some, but the confusion in the midfield was still unresolved.
The current Barcelona midfielder is playing awkwardly.
The tacit understanding between Rakitic and Busquets seemed to disappear.
Moreover, such aggressive play always reluctantly passes the ball to the frontcourt, causing Messi and Suarez to hold the ball very uncomfortably and unable to make a breakthrough.
Barcelona’s commentator ~EbookFREE.me~ said with emotion: "Before Yi is on the court, Barcelona wants to play the rhythm that belongs to Yi. In fact, their series, forward insertion and timing are all wrong. !"
As for De Jong...
The commentator sighed helplessly. In this game, De Jong was invisible. He had high hopes, but his performance was not satisfactory.
The game was still going on. In the 85th minute, Vidal recklessly defended and gave Granada a penalty.
Granada player Aziz made a cool penalty and the score came to 2:0.
This time, Valverde finally couldn't sit still.
He quickly let Yi Le play, and De Jong was replaced.
But with only 5 minutes left, Yi Le could not complete the reversal.
Despite the considerable changes and the improvement in the threat shot rate, Barcelona woke up too late and lost the game.
And Barcelona also tasted their first defeat of the season.
