Chapter 436 Gata Derby
On December 12th, the Copa del Rey match was ushered in. Yu Tian and the Spaniard played against Cadiz at home. This was the second round. The Spaniard lost the game 5-1 in the first round. Fortunately, there was an away goal.
This event is regarded by Yu Tian as maintaining the status of substitute players and training some players in the youth training echelon. In this game, Yu Tian still started the rotation players and young players.
The result was not bad. In the end, the Spaniard won Cadiz 1-0 at home. Because of the away goal advantage, the Spaniard successfully advanced to the next round of the Copa del Rey.
And the next game will be a top priority game, this is a derby battle, the opponent is Barcelona.
The time came to the 12th round of La Liga on December 9. Yu Tian and the Spaniard played against Barcelona at home. This Catalan derby attracted much attention.
Few people may know that Barcelona was first founded by the British in Catalan, and then the local Spaniards in Catalan created the Spaniards, and even used the Spaniards as the team's name.
But the Spaniard has been suppressed by Barcelona for a long time. The long-term suppression made the Spaniard fans very depressed, which also caused the Spaniard to treat Barcelona players fiercely.
The Spaniard and Barcelona have a long-standing grievance. Let Pochettino, who once coached the Spaniard and currently coaches Tottenham in the Premier League, vowed that he would never coach Barcelona.
It is worth mentioning that the Spaniard is the team with the most hat-tricks of Messi.
After Yu Tian coached the Spaniard last season, the two sides drew 2-2. The Spaniard almost defeated Barcelona, which also made this Catalan derby more attention.
Espanyol fans are very much looking forward to Yu Tian leading the team to defeat Barcelona, because Espanyol's performance in La Liga so far is too impressive, and they have also defeated Real Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia.
Although Yu Tian is not a local, he is very aware of the expectations of the fans. Yu Tian attaches great importance to this game, and Barcelona will be playing the Champions League in a few days, so Yu Tian predicts that Barcelona may play some main players, but they will definitely make some rotations.
However, this game is very unfriendly to Huaxia fans, because the start time of this game is 3:45 a.m. China time. However, this cannot affect the enthusiasm of the fans. Many fans are ready to stay up late.
When Yu Tian and the players got off the bus, everyone was shocked, because a lot of Spaniards came to greet them. Seeing the massive cheers, Yu Tian and the players were very shocked, which made the team full of fighting spirit.
After arriving in the locker room, the players calmed down. At this time, the stadium was already full of spectators. Although the game had not yet started, the Espanyol fans had already started to cheer, and some fans even waved Espanyol flags.
Before they knew it, the players from both sides had come to the player tunnel and were about to go on stage. When they saw the players on the stage, there was a deafening cheer from the audience. When they saw Chen Chen, the cheers reached their peak.
The starting lists of both sides came out early, first of all for the Spaniard:
Goalkeeper: 13 Diego Lopez;
Defenders: 22 Canseco, 4 Shuli, 25 Serdar Tashche, 16 Harvey Lopez;
Midfielder: 21 Rocca, 7 Wang Yandong, 15 David Lopez;
Forwards: 10 Chen Chen, 9 Iglesias, 11 Baptistan;
Then there's Barcelona's starting line-up:
Goalkeeper: 1 Ter Stegen;
Defenders: 18 Alba, 3 Pique, 23 Umtiti, 2 Nelson Semedo;
Midfielder: 22 Vidal, 5 Busquets, 4 Rakitic;
Forwards: 10 Messi, 9 Suarez, 7 Lee Long;
Yu Tiandang was very surprised when he knew Barcelona's starting lineup, because before Yu Tian predicted that Barcelona would save their strength for the Champions League, but he did not expect that Barcelona would fight with all their strength.
Yu Tian has always underestimated the Spaniard. Currently, the Spaniard is firmly ranked first in the La Liga standings. Of course, Barcelona does not want to see this result. Barcelona is bound to win the first place this season, and the opponent is the rival in the same city.
Moreover, there is Coutinho on the bench for Barcelona, and a Brazilian midfielder Arthur, which shows that Barcelona attaches great importance to this game.
After the two sides came to the stadium, the two teams began to shake hands in a friendly manner. Then the captains of both sides came to the referee team and distributed the ball by flipping coins. Finally, Barcelona won the kick-off.
With the whistle of the referee and the passionate cheers of the fans, this Catalan derby officially kicked off.
With Ronaldo leaving Juventus, Real Madrid has also dropped a lot. Relatively, Barcelona can definitely be said to be the number one giant in La Liga. The current Real Madrid is not Barcelona's opponent at all.
Facing such a powerful opponent, Yu Tian certainly wouldn't aggressively attack. Yu Tian's tactics before the game were the team's best defensive counterattack.
Because of Chen Chen's existence, the Spaniard's defensive counterattack was not only fast-paced, but also very efficient.
Barcelona launched a sharp attack at the beginning. In the 3rd minute, they quickly came to the Spaniard's penalty area through continuous passes.
The Spaniard's press is actually in place, but Barcelona's overall strength is still too strong, especially the trident of Messi, Suarez and Li Long in the frontcourt, which is already a tacit trident.
He got rid of the Spaniard's press effortlessly. Although the game had just started, Yu Tian couldn't sit still anymore and kept directing the players on the field.
After Li Long got the ball on the right side of the penalty area, a sudden change of rhythm directly got rid of Canseco's defense, and then cut inside and shot directly with his left foot, but it missed slightly.
"Wow!" The Spaniard fans on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim.
After Li Long joined Barcelona, he showed his talent very well, and his status in the team has also risen sharply. He is already the third player in the team, and there is a faint phenomenon of surpassing Suarez. This makes Barcelona fans forget the defected Neymar early.
Moreover, Li Long is frighteningly young. If Messi retires in the future, Li Long can definitely become the leader of the team, and Li Long is also happy for the status quo.
However, Chen Chen also came to La Liga. After Chen Chen came to the Espanyol, the first season is okay, he can only be regarded as a fledgling.
After coming to this season, Chen Chen seemed to be possessed by the king of the ball, attracting everyone's attention, and once overshadowed Li Long. Although Li Long was also happy for his junior, he was somewhat jealous, and Chen Chen's head coach was Yu Tian, the mentor he admired the most.
