Chapter 17: The deadly nature remains unchanged!

Barcelona's ninth round of La Liga opponent is the newly promoted Ma Girona. Although he wants to play away, no one will think that Girona has the opportunity to cause trouble for Barcelona at his home court.

Girona, who was still in the Spanish League Two last season, is not at the same level as Barcelona. He cannot compete with Barcelona in terms of team lineup and player strength. Although Girona, as a newly promoted team, has made great progress this season and is currently ranked 11th in the La Liga, it is still much worse than giant teams like Barcelona.

Barcelona's starting lineup has almost no change, and Simon Grayson just let Ben Parker enter the rest and replaced his favorite player with Italian veteran Criscito.

After the game started, Barcelona controlled the initiative of the game first in his hands by controlling the ball, and then Ganso stuffed the ball into Girona's left penalty area in 24 minutes. Shaq, who successfully counterattacked, followed and swung his left leg and kicked it. The ball rang out from the inside of the left post in the near corner with a "boom".

Girona's goalkeeper Gorca had blocked the near corner, but he never expected that Shaq would choose here to shoot. His center of gravity moved to the left first and then back, but he couldn't even touch the side of the ball.

Shaq's shot... is fast and has a sharp angle. How can Gorka, who makes a mistake in judging, defend against it?

Next, Girona at home saw how strong the world football king was for two consecutive times......

In the 56th minute, Krissetig intercepted Girona's goal in the center circle. Shaq relied on speed in front to fight for an opportunity, rushed up between the opponent's two central defenders, and rushed to Gorka before attacking. He hooked the ball to his right side with his left foot, avoided the goalkeeper and pushed the arch with his right foot. The score became 2:0.

In the 71st minute, Vasquis passed the ball to the small penalty area line in the middle from the left. Shaq leaned against the defender and shot with his left foot and sent the ball into the blind corner of the upper left corner of the goal...3:0!

A hat trick made Shaq show the extremely ironic words to Cruyff three times, and three more "slap" slaps in the face.

Simon Grayson's face was serious off the court. He was not unhappy because Shaq was still provoking Cruyff. In fact, Barcelona's "godfather" has really shut up now. Simon Grayson's team-leading performance has forced everyone who has opinions about him to shut up. In addition to the "brutal Simon" who can bring out the strongest Barcelona in history, and even surpass Guardiola's cosmic team, who can do this?

What really makes Simon Grayson uncomfortable is... Neymar!

The Brazilian completed 6 passes on the court, hitting the goal frame with 6 shots and 4 shots. He also tried to cross 6 times, but failed to complete even a successful cross. His crossing opportunity was not very good, and the real good opportunity was wasted by him using people or shooting, which made people wonder if this guy did it on purpose.

In this game, Barcelona failed to create any real threats on the right side. This is where Simon Grayson felt uncomfortable. "Little Pharaoh" Salave was not like this when he was on the court.

Barcelona will play in the first leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey in the next game. The opponent is the C-level team Bonfreddie, Simon Grayson thinks he should give the Brazilian another chance because Neymar has tried 6 crosses.

If Neymar's agent had not expressed his opinion with Simon Grayson. If Neymar had not been practicing crosses with Shaq in training, Simon Grayson really had no intention of letting Neymar return to the starting lineup. This Brazilian... is a bit independent, or it should be said that his desire to perform is too strong, which is not allowed.

You should know that Neymar's performance has actually affected the team, otherwise Barcelona should have secured the victory in the first half. Shaq scored a lot of goals with a "hat trick", but Simon Grayson still valued the team's overall performance more.

Three days later, Barcelona defeated Bonfredina 6-0 away. Shaq scored a hat-trick and had 2 assists in this game, with Vasquis, Gimenes and Neymar each scoring one goal.

This time, Simon Grayson really understood. Neymar, a Brazilian star, was hopeless. He played in this game for another 90 minutes. He tried 11 crosses but only succeeded once, with as many as 8 passes and three shots.

Off the court, Simon Grayson was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice. His assistant Tony McAndrew felt the anger of the old guy and couldn't help feeling sad for Neymar's future fate.

But... Neymar obviously did it on purpose!

Why didn't this Brazilian boy learn from his lessons?

When is this time? This kid dares to commit crimes against the wind?

I really think that the "brutal Simon" didn't dare to sell him after just five years of renewal!?

When the game was 87 minutes old, Simon Grayson's anger was finally ignited, and the fuse was... Raphael was tackled by a malicious foul by his opponent!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Simon Grayson replaced Rafael and Neymar with Montoya and Salave.

Neymar, who scored a goal, felt good about himself. He raised his hands over his head and slapped his hands, which was a response to two thousand die-hard Barcelona fans. After the game, he still wanted to have a hug with Simon Grayson, but Simon Grayson, wearing a black windbreaker, stood there and didn't even look at him.

Neymar felt that the head coach seemed very angry. After being stunned, he inexplicably walked to the bench. He thought Simon Grayson was angry because of Raphael's injury.

But when McAndrew came up to make clothes for Neymar, he sighed helplessly: "Oh..."

Neymar was very smart, otherwise he would not have been so famous with his thin body. After hearing McAndrew's sigh, Neymar immediately realized that he must have made a mistake. Then... After sitting in the chair for a long time, he suddenly understood what the problem was.

Returning to the first team and returning to the starting lineup immediately made Neymar very excited, but he was too excited. In the past 180 minutes of these two games, he broke through many times on the court and shot a lot. Although he scored only one goal, his performance was reasonable.

But…this is not what the "brutal Simon" needs!

Simon Grayson's team has a perverted "King of Football", and he has always trusted his favorite disciples. His team has always been playing around Shaq, whether at Leeds United, Manchester United, or at the "Three Lions", this has never changed.

However, after Neymar took advantage of this to return to Barcelona's first foul lineup, he stopped passing Shaq in the game, which means that he has made very little contribution to Simon Grayson's "Solar System Tactics", so his fate...

When Neymar thought of this, he was shocked and sweated in a cold state. He suddenly realized that he was in crisis again!

But I have to say that Neymar is still very smart. The game ended quickly. When Simon Grayson turned around and was about to leave, Neymar quickly ran up and explained to Simon Grayson in a not-so-skilled English: "Sir, I...I didn't mean it, I was just too excited, I know...I was wrong, I forgot to cooperate with Shaq, I influenced the team's tactics, please...give me another chance."

Simon Grayson turned his head and looked at Neymar, staring at the Brazilian for more than ten seconds, then he said: "Let's see how others contribute to the team and teammates."

Neymar looked at Simon Grayson's figure walking away and smiled bitterly. He knew that his starting treatment would end here, but... the head coach seemed to have not given up on him completely, so he still had a chance, but he was obviously at a disadvantage in the competition with Salave.

Simon Grayson vented all his anger on Bonfreddy at the post-match press conference. Neymar, an incompetent guy, annoyed him, and Raphael's injury made him even more unhappy. When he first came to Barcelona, ​​he first made a promise to Raphael, who was sold by himself when he was at Manchester United. The relationship between the two has long been eased in the past four months. Raphael performed very stably in the right back position, but now he is injured. How can he not be angry?

Fortunately, after examination, Raphael's injury was not serious, it was just a ligament strain. He could recover after resting for about two weeks, which finally made Simon Grayson feel a little more comfortable.

After returning to Barcelona, ​​Simon Grayson held an emergency coaching meeting. Raphael was injured and the team's tactics must be adjusted immediately. Montoya's personal ability is not as strong as Raphael, especially in assists. Barcelona's right-hand offense will definitely be affected by Raphael's absence. Some ways to make up for it.

Fortunately, Montoya's team awareness is stronger than Raphael, which is something that can be taken advantage of. Montoya has a better grasp of the timing of assists, and his connection with his teammates is also closer. In general, Raphael's absence will not have much impact on the team.

After discussing Raphael, the topic fell on Neymar. Although he had already made a conclusion about Neymar's performance, Simon Grayson still wanted to hear if his team had any other opinions.

Divayo, the offensive coach who taught Neymar step by step for a while, jumped out first: "I was disappointed by Silva's performance. I think he affected the team's overall offensive strategy. I suggest putting him back on the bench."

With Divalyo, the others naturally spoke enthusiastically, and Lerotalie and others also evaluated Neymar's performance. Although the Brazilian's breakthrough ability is worthy of recognition, his contribution to the team is too small. As a result... the Brazilian was unanimously approved by the coaching staff and kicked out of the main lineup!
