Malone's excellent performances in the Spanish Super Cup have indeed helped him play more opportunities.

Against Real Betis, Malone won the starting spot. It's just that Deulofeu occupies the starting line-up on the wing, while Malone gets the opportunity to play as a centre-forward.

Despite the absence of Dembele and Suarez, such a trident is still extremely lethal with Messi.

Because of the relative weakness of the opponent, Barcelona's player rotation has also made certain adjustments. Pique who had previously had suspected of having physical problems in the match did not play in this match. Instead, Semedo and Mascherano played as full-backs and centre-backs respectively

, while in midfield, Roberto, who often played as a full-back, was chosen as the starter.

The other two midfielders were Rakitic and Sergio Busquets, who continued to start.

From the very beginning of the game, Barcelona showed great control.

After returning from Milan, Deulofeu experienced more than ten days of training and matches. Gradually adapting to the rhythm, the small space technology from La Masia and the ability to dribble quickly were finally reused.

In the previous game against Real Madrid, it was not just because I had just returned to La Liga and had not yet adapted. Or maybe it's a matter of form, D'ulofeu's dribbling and speed are not at his original level.

But after a few days of training adjustments, Deulofeu's condition gradually warmed up. Whether it is his movements or his own dribbling speed, he has greatly improved, and he has returned to his previous form.

It may also be the key for Valverde to establish him on the winger in this game.

The difference in strength between the two sides is quite obvious, so Real Betis' head coach, local coach Cetien from Spain, went with a flat line of thought from the beginning.

Thanks to the opponent's shrinkage, Barcelona have many opportunities to attack up front. Using his ability to break through, Messi was awarded a free-kick opportunity in the 14th minute.

Messi's penalty chose to hit the goal directly, and the quality was not low. It's just that this free kick ended up grazing the goal frame and deflecting off the net.

Subsequently, Barcelona continued to completely suppress Real Betis' on-field situation.

A few minutes later, a long pass from Sergio Busquets penetrated Real Betis' defence and found Messi.

Messi used his personal ability to swing the angle to complete a powerful shot, but unfortunately he still grazed the upright and flew out.

Finally, Barcelona also had a few good chances, such as another set-piece from Messi, but this time it was still a fraction of the difference.

Barcelona always seem to be a little closer to scoring a goal.

In the first thirty minutes of the game, Malone didn't play well. Although the ability to fight is not a prominent weakness of Malone after fusing the ability of Robert Carlos.

But back-to-back confrontation is undoubtedly not his advantage.

Once in the centre, Malone has to take on more back-to-back confrontation tasks. Under such an arrangement, Malone's physical energy quickly depleted.

Fortunately, he also has a hand, with explosive ability to insert behind the opposing central defender, which makes him appear very present on the offensive end.

It wasn't until the 36th minute of the game that Deulofeu dribbled at high speed in a quick counterattack. Completely got rid of Narvaez, who came all the way back.

Then with a very beautiful diagonal kick, he found Ma Long, who was grabbing points in front of the door.

Marlon didn't hesitate in front of the goal and shot directly to the ground. Before the goalkeeper, he forcibly poked the ball into the net.

After the goal, Malone single-handedly pointed at Deulofeu, who provided a brilliant assist.

He then continued his celebratory gesture, raising his hand on the sidelines and counting a "1".

"Marlon! He scored again! He has scored three consecutive games at Barcelona! His talent, his future is immeasurable! "

“Goallll！ Wonder boy, he brought shooting boots from the Brazilian league! Who needs Neymar?! "

He scored in all three games and performed very well. This makes expectations of Malone higher and higher.

Then, with Malone's goal, Barcelona played more and more easily.

But it seems that just after scoring the goal, the change in mentality of the game has made the players not comfortable with the rhythm for a while.

Real Betis took advantage of the opportunity and launched a very threatening counterattack.

Real Baylis' famous veteran Joaquin sent a long-range straight shot after breaking the ball, penetrating Barcelona's midfield defense that had not yet been placed in time.

Fortunately, there was an experienced pony brother who fell to the ground in time to put down the shovel and destroy Leon's single knife.

This did not allow Barcelona to lose the lead that had just covered the heat.

After this counter-attack, Barcelona also put away the mentality that they had planned to control the tempo and use their best pass control to bring the game to a calm end.

Seeing Real Betis fight back still threatening, Barcelona re-launched a high-intensity frontcourt pressure. With the speed advantage of Deulofeu and Marlon, such high-intensity pressure also makes Real Baylis's backline scream.

Barcelona's attacking line is extremely integrated, with Rakitic and Roberto defensively at a much higher level than the average midfielder. In the case of overall pressure up front, these two forward-pushing central midfielders also provide great pressure.

Under heavy pressure, soon Real Betis' defense showed a flaw, and after Dulofeu broke the ball, he successfully completed the acceleration and threw off the speedy Baganla.

A high ball went up to the goal, and Malone in front of the goal was already in place. Taking advantage of the absolute advantage of starting speed, he easily threw off centre-back Fedal, and although another centre-back Mandy wanted to come up and make up for it, it was too late. Although a physical confrontation was formed against Malone, it was no longer enough to stop Malone from completing the shooting move.

The pick-and-shoot skill is activated, and Malone lightly picks the ball past the attacking goalkeeper Adan. The score was instantly rewritten to 2-0.

After scoring again, Malone chose to point his finger at Deulofeu, who had once again provided him with an assist, waiting for him to come to his side before counting "2" to the Barca fans.

"In this game, the two Barça youngsters performed very well. Malone had already scored twice in the first half of the game. It seems that his state is very hot today, and he hopes to hit the hat-trick. "

Malone is still in hot form after coming to Spain. The choice in front of goal is very calm, so to speak, with the potential of a striker

" "But we also have to see that Dulofeu performed very well, and a large part of today's two goals were actually due to the passing he sent"

....

The strength of the two teams is very different, and Real Betis' usual style is not the kind of team that is completely squatted, and Real Betis has few chances against Barcelona, whose midfield control and front-court ability are completely crushed.

Today's Mascherano is exceptionally steady, and even gives the illusion of being back at the top

: "Hey Marlon, your kick is so handsome today." I thought the ball was going to be held by the goalkeeper. "

With two assists, Deulofeu was in a good mood. Although Malone and him competed, since Valverde tried to put Malone in the middle, he left the position in the middle to himself.

That means that you don't have any disadvantage in competing for the winger position now.

Although the opponent scored two goals, his two assists were equally beautiful. There is nothing wrong with such a happy thing.

At the end of the first half, Barcelona had won two goals against Real Betis almost without blood.

"Maybe this gave me luck."

Saying that, Malone raised the wrist of his left hand, which was tied with the red rope that Messi gave him.

If you want to look at it from a dressing room perspective, he and Dulofeu have their own advantages. On one side are the young players favoured by the South American state, and on the other is the La Masia youth academy, which is very popular with the Barcelona management.

If the performance of these two years continues like this, then the person who is squeezed out will not be one of the two. Instead, it will be Paco, who has few appearances in his own right.

'There is still a second half to play, everyone concentrates and don't let them get a chance.'

After halftime, Real Betis made a tentative substitution. The unsatisfactory midfielder Camasala was replaced, replaced by midfielder Fabian Ruiz, whom Real Betis had high hopes for.

If it had been in the original timeline, the Spanish midfielder would have been team-mates with Messi at the Parc des Princes in the future.

After the start of the second half, Fabian Ruiz's appearance did not change much for Real Betis.

He is a typical Spanish midfielder, and although he has some foot technique, his physical confrontation ability is not outstanding.

It's just that his foot skills are really obvious in front of Barcelona at this time.

Against Roberto, who has the roughest skills up front, he struggles to take advantage of the game, and he is even one of Real Betis' best midfielders.

With the midfield completely out of control, Real Betis had a difficult second half as well. The scene is still one-sided suppression, and Fabian Ruiz is powerless.

Real Betis' offensive opportunities are all threatening forced feet, such shots cannot even hit the goal, let alone test ter Stegen.

Barcelona, on the other hand, seems to be at ease, and even has a bit of a taste of light.

So much so that Semedo even dared to show his footwork in front of the opposing striker, and used continuous fancy moves to dribble

Messi's continuous internal cut in his own backfield to create a great threat in the 60th minute, but unfortunately, the subsequent burst hit the goal frame again and failed to score.

Although they were unable to extend the score again, Barcelona still completely controlled the rhythm of the midfield at their feet, and from time to time they led through the wing, began to launch fast attacks, and then turned back to the middle again and began to cooperate with short passes.

Take advantage of the change in the overall offensive rhythm to tear at Real Betis' defense.

In the 70th minute of the game, Valverde finally made a substitution. Deulofeu, who had performed well, was substituted and Malone returned to the left wing. The midfield was given to backup centre-forward Paco.

After returning to the left wing, Malone also returned to the way he was most familiar with playing, although his physical strength had been exhausted.

But the excitement of having scored two goals has allowed Malone to remain active on the pitch.

Although Messi sent many exquisite passes in this game, he never scored or assisted, which also made him more combative.

With Messi's personal ability breakthrough, Barcelona frequently get offensive opportunities in the front court, but unfortunately, Messi's every inward shot is always a millimeter away from the goal, either on the post or deflected out of the goal.

By the 80th minute of the game, all the substitutions had already been handed over. Towards the end, a breakthrough by Malone once again made the game variable.

With continuous shaking and shifting speeds, Malone successfully threw off his position and burst into the box. Faced with Malone already having a chance in the box, Mandy had to choose to use a side body confrontation, causing Malone to fall to the ground.

Even though there was no chance of winning the game, he chose to block Malone's shot this time due to the duty of central defender.

When the referee saw such an action, he also did not hesitate to blow a penalty.

Seeing that the referee blew the penalty, Malone naturally ran over and held the ball to the team's first penalty taker, Messi.

"I'll give you the penalty. After all, you are still one hat-trick away.

"But you are the team's first penalty taker, and this penalty should be delivered by you."

Marlon was still a little hesitant. In the second half of the game, Messi, who was slow to score or assist, obviously increased his personal breakthrough and shooting desire.

If this penalty is given to Messi, there is a great probability that he can complete the goal.

In this way, it will also help Messi score in this game

: "It's better for you, after all, there are not many opportunities to score a hat-trick, and it is more rare than scoring a goal or a hat-trick."

Touching Marlon's head, Messi still handed the football to Malone.

Seeing Messi say this, Malone no longer hesitated, picked up the football and stood on the penalty spot, facing the goalkeeper who had already broken the goal twice by him.

With a whistle from the referee, Malone placed the ball on the penalty spot. Take a deep breath, no longer look at the goalkeeper, but focus on the football, and then raise your foot

to force this kick to the middle, absolutely burst. The goalkeeper judged the wrong direction and naturally there was no possibility of saving.

In the 80th minute, with a penalty, Malone successfully scored a hat-trick.
