Because of the forced twisting of his body, Dunbia's leg muscles developed injuries. In the state of exercise, such movements are very testing the flexibility of the body.

It was clear that Dunbia's body was not strong enough to support him to make such movements.

The pain of torn muscles was unbearable for Dunbia.

Out of protection for his career, he immediately chose to fall on the grass and call the team doctor to enter the field.

After examination by the team doctor, Dunbia's injuries were serious. It was judged that he could not continue to play the game.

The injured Dunbia was replaced by Sporting Portugal's head coach Jesus.

Although he left the field because of an injury. But Dunbia still received a yellow card for his fake fall. Just now after he

replaced backup striker Dost, Sporting Portugal's counter-attack was like a gun that lost its head.

He is old, although he has the heart to run. But the decline in physical condition made his speed drop significantly.

Nor can it threaten the tall Pico and Umtiti in terms of confrontation. This makes it difficult for him to be a bridgehead for B Fei.

The forced substitution brought about by this injury has brought Sporting Portugal's attack almost completely silent.

However, fearing the ferocious fouls of Portuguese sport, Barcelona also had more options to control the situation to themselves.

There is no intention of scoring another goal.

The pace of the game was unusually dull amid fouls, with both sides having some attacking opportunities, but all from long range attempts far from the box.

With the goalkeepers playing well, none of these long-range threats really translated into goals.

Sporting Portugal already have four players with yellow cards, and if it continues like this, it is likely to affect the next matches.

Winning against Barcelona is already very difficult in the current situation, and if they get a yellow card or even a red card in this game, then their subsequent games in the group stage will be even more difficult.

In this way, Sporting Portugal gave up the idea of attacking, and Valverde did not intend to take risks. Winning the game 1-0 can also get three points,

and Malone is also protected by Valverde. In the 60th minute of the match, he was replaced by Deulofeu.

With the match substituted in the 60th minute, Malone did not score or assist in the game.

This ended his record of goals/assists in all nine games for Barca.

However, Malone was not frustrated or dissatisfied. He knows very well that he has been able to score goals and assists in previous games, partly because Messi and Suarez take great care of him. On the other hand, it is also the reason for the relative weakness of the opponent.

Although he has not been able to achieve ten consecutive matches, he is also very satisfied with the current statistics.

"The next round of league, you can take a break."

After the Champions League group stage, Barcelona will face Las Palma in the league. This opponent is relatively weak and Barcelona's squad should theoretically be easily taken.

Valverde's arrangement of Malone's rotation in this game is actually reasonable.

After playing against the weaker Las Parma, Barcelona's next opponent is Atletico Madrid, known for its "iron blood".

Valverde is more willing to put Malone in the starting XI in an important battle against Atletico than a weaker opponent.

In the case of Sporting Portugal, which have already committed consecutive large-scale fouls, go for consecutive games. In the next game, it is even more difficult to face Atletico Madrid, and it is easy to get injured.

Valverde's consideration came because of Marlon's family and friends group. Second, Deulofeu and others also need playing time. Having Malone take proper breaks frees up playing time for others.

Third, taking breaks in relatively uncritical matches can also help Malone perform better against Atletico Madrid.

"Ah, it's a rare holiday."

For Valverde's arrangement, Malone can somewhat understand. Since coming to Barcelona, he has played every game.

Valverde gave himself three days off, mostly to give himself a break. Good preparation for the game against Atletico.

During the three-day holiday, Malone did not return to Barcelona with the team.

On the first day of his holiday, he took his family and friends with him to visit Portugal.

None of these people had actually been to Portugal, but the old horse head seemed the most excited among the several.

Because Malone had told him about the preparation of bringing him to Barcelona.

It's just that unlike a few friends who wandered around Brazil and Argentina, even with a three-day vacation, Malone did not dare to indulge too much.

The talent of this guy in Dembele is there, although he can not move and rot. But once he started playing in earnest, he quickly realized his talent.

Although in terms of physical structure and technology, he does have a route to transform into a center after getting older.

But in Barcelona's technical and tactical system, a centre-forward often means more consumption and less finishing power.

With the ability to compete for the top, Malone doesn't want to transition to center forward so early.

After all, Suarez still has a certain amount of fighting power even in the 20 season, so the era of playing winger himself. It will continue until 18-19 at least, and then in the 20 season, with Suarez's decline, it will start to transition to the middle.

Messi also said in his personal record that his original plan was to hand Barca over to Neymar at that point in time.

For Ma Long, whether it is this season or the 18-19 season, he can become Messi's green leaf drinking Suya and improve his ability as much as possible. And the 19-20, 20-21 seasons are the era of taking over the mantle and starting to become the main general.

With a very clear plan for his career, Malone is still a nervous reminder that he can't be too indulgent, even after taking three days off.

Although he went to the nightclub, Malone was always a little restrained. For those beautiful women who come from unknown sources and give hugs, they are even more careful.

Invisibly, everyone seems to have a slight estrangement.

Early the next morning, the Chapecoens returned hastily, citing that the club still had games. Only the old coach Thiago, who has no work arrangement, and the young man of his own youth team are still there.

But Malone still couldn't enjoy the rare holiday, and there was a heavyweight he didn't expect to be watching.

Before Malone could return to Barcelona, the unexpected man took the initiative to find him.
