Chapter 108 Barcelona
Barcelona's results this season are not ideal.
Leaving aside the macroeconomic issues at the world level, Barcelona's own financial management has also encountered huge problems.
Although Barcelona Chairman Laporta believes that in the club's 123-year history, the team is a model on and off the field, but the football field does not recognize century-old brands. It can bring you heritage, but it cannot change the status quo of the team.
Although Messi, the best player in team history with the highest salary in football, was sent away two years ago as a free agent, Barcelona's after-tax loss still reached 4.81 million euros, with a total debt of 13.5 billion, making it the No. 1 debt in Europe.
Players do not support salary cuts, nor do they support payment in installments, such as Umtiti, Pique and others who are absolutely loyal to Barcelona.
Spain really has a guild. The players are backed by the guild. It is written in black and white in the contract. It is difficult for the club to force high-paid players to leave.
Real Madrid has Bale and Hazard now, and Barcelona has Umtiti and Pique, all of which have a bright future.
But the current situation of the La Liga duo is one day at a time. One player is old and new, and they are competing for the Champions League every year. One is still buying, buying, and buying. The team is in chaos.
In order to pass the salary cap, Barcelona's management has leveraged four times this season, allowing the team's revenue to reach 8 million euros this season, with an estimated expenditure of 9 million euros. The management is already preparing for the fifth and sixth levers.
The truth of football is simple, as long as the team performs well, there will be fans and sponsors who are willing to spend money for the team... This is the idea and response method of the Barcelona management.
But now Barcelona, having been eliminated from the Champions League group stage, came to the Europa League play-offs and competed with Manchester United for a place in the Europa League knockout round... Fortunately, La Liga has a good record and is expected to win the championship.
Although Barcelona's financial situation is poor and the future looks bleak, their squad quality looks much stronger than that of Manchester United.
For example, Ten Hag pursued De Jong, a former disciple of Xia Chuang, and felt that Bayern could not help him get the Golden Globe. The winner of the Golden Boy Award, Spanish Gemini's Pedri and Garvey and other players.
The Manchester United dressing room before the game, the players are chatting.
"Lin, this Garvey is the winner of the Golden Boy Award last year. He is the same age as you and plays in the same position as you. Maybe he is your future competitor." Lima was suspended, Ten Hag would rather use Luke Maguire said that Shaw would not let him play as a central defender.
"Does the current Golden Boy Award still have gold content?" Lin Lingqi joked. After being awarded the Golden Boy Award, he can be completely kicked out and become famous in the world. The closest ones are Harland for 20 years and Mbappe for 17 years. , and then you get Pogba for 13 years.
In addition, others such as Portugal's Sanchez, the fragile Martial, and Felix, who just loaned to Chelsea in the winter window, failed to fulfill the initial expectations of the outside world.
Everyone laughed, and Rashford laughed, "This year's Golden Boy Award should be yours, and then you have to prove the gold content of this award."
"Judging from his last few games, his level is average and he is not as strong as the outside world. That Pedri is not bad, but the young people in Real Madrid are better." Ronaldo commented.
B Fei continued, "This kid has a lot of small moves in football, and he doesn't learn well at a young age... Lin, you also have more small moves, you are too gentle to play."
Lin Lingqi nodded. He played football really cleanly. He didn't talk trash. He rarely played tricks except for his exaggerated expression when he fell to the ground and asked the referee to foul him.
There are indeed many small movements in this Garvey, and many of them are unnecessary and dirty movements.
However, the two are both on the left, and they are rarely encountered. His main opponents on this road are Rafinha and Ronald Araujo.
Rafinha is very strong, has both offense and defense, fast speed, strong ability to pass through people, has a long shot and is good at through balls, and also contributes a lot to the team's defense. In addition to being not tall, Rafinha He is a perfect striker, coupled with the strong Araujo, Lin Lingqi's game will be very difficult.
Ten Hag came back and began to make a pre-match speech, "Relax, don't be stressed, believe in yourself, we are a better team! A team that was eliminated in the Champions League group stage is nothing special! … Next, let me talk about the tactical arrangement..."
"3, 2, 1, we must win!"
In the player tunnel, Barcelona's legendary midfielder and now Barcelona's coach Xavi greeted Manchester United's players friendly when he passed by.
Mainly chatting with Ronaldo, the two of them were opponents in the La Liga Super Derby more than ten years ago.
Xavi, who likes to talk nonsense at press conferences and has quickly developed into a big mouth, has a very admirable career. At his peak, as a metronome for Barcelona and Spain, he achieved more than almost all players. It can only be beyond the reach of the dust.
After Harvey retired, he went to Qatar to coach Saad, and returned to Barcelona two years later to take over Koeman, who had poor performance, as the team's head coach.
Whether he is a player or a coach, he is linked with Barcelona and cannot be separated.
Lin Lingqi set foot on the Nou Camp.
There is no Messi here, no more of the frightening Cosmos team.
The La Liga derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid was the most watched game in the world. Unfortunately, the situation is no longer, and the limelight of the Premier League has completely overshadowed La Liga.
It was 1:45 in the morning in Huaguo. Although it was early in the morning and we had to go to class or work tomorrow, there were still countless fans watching this strong match on time.
And Zhan Jun, as usual, started to introduce today's lineups of both sides after the players played.

"The central defender is Conde, who just transferred from Sevilla for 5000 million euros this season, and Marcos Alonso, who came from Chelsea this season without a visa."
"The midfielders are Casey, who has just been exempted from AC Milan this season, De Jong, Ten Hag's favorite player in Ajax, and Pedri, who is worth up to [-] million euros!"
"Garvey, the winner of the Golden Boy Award last year, is on the left, and Rafinha, who was bought from Leeds United for 5800 million euros this season, is on the right."
"The striker is the Polish striker Lewandowski who transferred from Bayern Munich for 4500 million euros this season!"
