Chapter 15: Barcalona's Art of Ball Control
[Barcelona's Training Base]
"Guys, we still have 11 league games. At the moment, the gap between us and Atletico Modrid is 5 points, but we have played one more game than them, and we still have a match with Atletico Modrid worth 6 points, but we now have to focus on the present and win every game."
Coach Kaeman's expression is very serious. Although Barcalona has won two consecutive victories, they are still 5 points behind Atletico Modrid, which has one game less than him.
At the end of the season, this is almost an insurmountable gap. What's more, this year Atletico Modrid's offensive and defensive ends are very stable, especially the defense.
Now, their teams has only conceded less than 20 goals, which shows how strong their defense is.
Although Atletico Modrid lost their most powerful striker, Griezman, they also dug a top striker from Barcalona, Suaroz.
Originally, Barcalona thought that Suaroz was old and had no competitiveness, so he gave it to Atletico Modrid for nothing but after seeing Suaroz's performance in Atletico Modrid, they believe that Barcalona's top executives have regretted the most.
At present, Suaroz ranks second in the goalscorer list with 16 goals. The first is Mesci of Barcalona. However, the gap between the two is only 3 goals.
Letting go of such a goal-scoring striker, for Barcalona is simply a disaster, not to mention, at present, Barcalona still has to compete with Atletico Modrid for the La Ligo championship, which is a sharp stab in Barcalona's heart.
The competitiveness of this year's La Ligo has indeed dropped a lot, and some clues can be seen from the scorer list.
There is also an unexpected name that quietly appeared on the scorer list. No. 14, Aran Silvastro, Barcalona, 7 (0). It took Aran two games to make himself appear in the top 20 scorers list.
However, looking further up, if Aran scored one more goal, he would be able to reach the 11th place, and if he scored two more goals, he would be placed directly to the tenth place.
"In the next game, we will face Osasona at home. Although the opponent is currently ranked in the middle of the league, they also need a victory to help them stay away from the relegation zone. It's not easy as we thought!"
Seeing everyone's relaxed look, Kaeman frowned and said seriously, "It's only been a few days since the Huesco game, did you all forget it? If it wasn't for Aran's hat-trick, now we have become laughing stock of the whole of Spain!"
Aran was suddenly caught by the cue, feels a little surprised. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Aran also smiled foolishly.
Seeing everyone's woke up, Kaeman also said with satisfaction, "Tomorrow's lineup, Mesci returns to the starting lineup, Aran, you are a substitute!"
Aran was a little unhappy, but he still responded. The corner of Kaeman's mouth curled up slightly. It's normal for a child to have a temper. But he was in charge of Barcalona, and it was just a stopgap measure to let Aran start the last game. He couldn't leave a large group of high-paid forwards alone and choose Aran who had just signed.
If Aran can still perform just as in the first two games, then that's fine, but if his performance is mediocre, it will not be good for the team, or Aran himself. After all, Young people still need to wait for their own opportunities.
Although he didn't make it into the starting lineup, Aran didn't slack off during training, instead he worked even harder.
Aran, who was on the bench, completely made the defense of the main lineup feel like the defenders of Huesco and Sevillo.
However, they are not unfamiliar with this feeling, because Real Madrid had such a speedy attacker, Bell.
Back then, In the 2013-2014 National Cup final, He passed Barcalona's central defender from the outfield and successfully hit the goal from a small angle, defeating Barcalona.
All La Ligo teams focus on this "Cannon" when facing Real Modrid. Today's Bell has long lost his prestige.
Unexpectedly, a young man took over the legacy of the "The Cannon" and galloped on the La Ligo field again.

March 7, 2021
Spanish local time, 22:00 pm.
The Camp Nu is packed. The stands of the entire stadium are full of red and blue oceans.
The big victories of these two games allowed Barcalona fans to see the possibility of winning the league championship again, and passion once again shrouded the Camp Nu.
Aran sat on the bench, looking sullen. Kaeman stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, looking solemn.
A whistle blows, and the game officially begins. Osasona only scored 23 goals in total, and Mesci scored 19 goals alone.
The offensive power of the two teams is not on the same level. Therefore, at the beginning, the Osasona team was very resolute and defended across the board.
However, it is common for Barcalona to face this kind of bus-style defensive lineup, and they are also very handy.
After a round of offence, Mesci's desire to goal was very strong.
In just five minutes of the game, he already had two wonderful long-range shots from the periphery. However, the quality of those two long-range shots is not very high.
But the opponent's goalkeeper was very angry. Of course he knows that Mesci is adjusting his sense of the ball.
If he asks the opponent to attack one or two more times, it is estimated that his team will not be far from conceding the score because the Osasona team couldn't organize a decent offense in front of Barcalona.
After Barcalona lost the ball, they quickly counter-robbed on the spot, which also made the Osasona team very uncomfortable.
Often, Osasona has possession of the ball for less than ten seconds before the possession of the ball is transferred.
Possession time, 81%-19%. This is simply crushing ball possession time.
But the football game does not depend on whoever has the ball for a long time can win. In the final analysis, it is still about scoring goals.
Barcalona's players began to mobilize non-stop in the opponent's 30-meter area, starting from the left side of the court, compressing the opponent's defense, and then passing the ball through the midfield by passing to the right side of the court, making full use of the width of the court, which makes Osasona's players exhausted.
Over time, no matter how tight the line of defense is, there will always be a loophole.
For so many years, Barcalona has relied on this kind of quick offensive strategy to dominate the game.
