"There seems to be a lot of hot newcomers in the squad opposite, I remember the goalkeeper has been doing well lately, right?"

Although the Basque Country is the same as Catalonia, because of the cultural identity of Spain is not high. Moreover, the economy is relatively independent and wealthy.

There is a high tendency to be independent, and the two heads of three days will do things.

But what really supports Spanish football is this group of anti-backbones who make trouble every day.

The quality of the batch before Real Madrid's youth training is still very high, and Spain's World Cup title can be said to be won by half Barça and half Real Madrid.

Although the number of these batches is good, many players are still mixed in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga.

As for high-end goods, although there are shipments. However, the impact of injuries did not make them fully realized in the end, and the talent they should have was not

visible in this time period, and a few years later, as Real Madrid began to buy players of other nationalities on a large scale, especially scratching the South American lottery addiction. The emphasis on youth training in his country is not so heavy.

The burden of Spain's own football naturally falls on teams such as Barcelona and Bilbao that naturally attach importance to youth training.

Laporte in the central defence and goalkeeper Kepa in front of the goal are undoubtedly among the mainstays of Spanish football's most promising future.

"So what, with that smelly little furry boy, do you want to prevent Messi and Suarez?"

It can be seen that Pique does not care much about Laporte. For a central defender, 23 is still very young.

It seems difficult for him to face top strikers like Messi and Suarez at the same time.

"It's better not to take it too lightly, those people can get dirty under the feet."

Chatting with each other without saying a word, everyone quickly went back to their rooms to rest.

"You have to pay attention when you're on the pitch, there are some too dangerous balls, don't try too hard. Protect yourself. "

Marlon's teammate in the same dormitory, today is Mascherano.

In this game, he will get a rare opportunity to play.

"I'll pay attention, don't worry. I saw this kind of stuff when I was playing in Brazil. "

As expected, the attention to this game was high.

The next day, by the time Malone arrived in the away team's dressing room, the San Mamés Stadium was already full of home fans.

In the warm-up training before the game, Valverde gave a shocking news.

Malone will not play a regular left-winger position in this game as Valverde will reinstate the long-lost pseudo-nine-in-the-top Messi tactic.

In this way, although Malone is still a left winger, he will be positioned closer to the ribs.

Like Deulofeu, who is on the right wing, he frequently matches Messi's short passes to penetrate the opposing side's ribs.

Naturally, such a tactic was not thought up by Valverde on a whim, but still fully considered the limitations of the Bilbao lineup.

He was Bilbao's previous coach, and he has not even been away from Bilbao for a year, so he can say that he knows exactly where the team's weaknesses are.

Bilbao's two main central defenders, Laporte and Núñez, are younger than the other, but the main two-midfielders, San Jose and Ituraspe, have reached the age of the final dance in terms of physical function.

This age divide is the key to Valverde's exploitation.

With a whistle from referee Martinez, the match officially began.

Sitting at home, Bilbao was in full swing and launched a lightning strike in the opening 10 minutes.

Athletic Bilbao's recent focus on developing young player Innaji Williams has been incredibly fast, and after breaking Gomez's ball in midfield, he scurries out like a freeze mustang and goes straight to the Barcelona defence.

Paulinho, who rarely got a chance to start, was a little flustered, and under the command of Pique in the backline, he quickly retreated.

'Williams is fast, can he threaten the Barcelona defence?

Although Sergio Busquets started normally in this game, the two main central midfielders Andres Iniesta and Rakitic entered the rotation.

Such a midfield combination certainly takes into account the physical fitness of the players, but in fact, it is the pressure of playing time that is even greater.

Gomes is, after all, the midfielder whom the team has high hopes for, while Paulinho is a new signing that the team has just signed.

Although Valverde knows that a player with Gomez's empty skills, poor physical confrontation ability, and always unstable state should be very difficult to gain a foothold in the giants, it is always necessary to give a certain amount of playing time.

Playing against his old club Bilbao seems to be a good choice.

However, Barcelona could not give the substitutes enough playing time due to the need for multi-line titles. The cooperation between the substitutes and the main players seems very unfamiliar. This major problem was exposed at this time

, and this unfamiliar midfield combination gave Bilbao a chance.

Williams was surprisingly fast, and Paulinho's return defense was very positive. But the physically strong Williams, who surprisingly used a Marseille slalom, successfully completed the escape. He then sent a high-quality 45-degree cross.

"Aduris!"

The curve of the ball, given well, flew directly into the Barcelona penalty area. Veteran Aduriss jumped high to the ball, ready to compete with Umtiti for the first point.

In the central defender, Umtitti's size is definitely not a waste, Maguire's kind of giant central defender.

But compared to Mascherano's typical short centre-back, he is much taller. With his excellent physical athletic ability, Umtiti can be regarded as erasing a certain disadvantage in his height

and the competition for the top of Aduris, and there is no big disadvantage.

But the referee's whistle made this top situation tense

, after the assistant referee's observation, Umtiti in the high-altitude ball scramble just now, elbow

touched the ball behavior, and the ball occurred in the box, if the referee blows a penalty, then this is likely to become a penalty.

As a result, Barcelona would have entered a one-goal deficit in the opening ten minutes.

Fortunately, after careful observation and confirmation by the referee, in the end, Umtiti was deemed to have not deliberately expanded the defensive area, and this goal could only be regarded as a natural action in the state of scramble, and no penalty was awarded.
