Chapter 29 Is it difficult to 100 goals?

After the match against Hercules, Barcelona ushered in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Sevilla.

Sevilla is a force that cannot be ignored in the La Liga. It can definitely be regarded as a strong team, but it is just a strong team. For Barcelona today, they cannot be evenly matched, but they just need to spend some effort to defeat them.

On January 30, Barcelona led 3:0 in the first half at Pis Juan Stadium with two goals from Shaq and an own goal given by his opponent. It was not until the end of the game that Sevilla won a goal with their record striker Andy Polo. In the end, Barcelona defeated Sevilla 3:1 away and gained the advantage of the King's Copa REE semi-finals.

The reason why the game went so smoothly was because Simon Grayson gave the opponent a small surprise. Alaba, who formed the midfield triangle with Ganso and Krissetig in the last game, appeared in the starting lineup again this time, but the promise made by the "brutal Simon" to Fabregas is still valid. The Barcelona vice captain also started, and behind them is the experienced Busquets.

Although this triangle combination lacks the aura and speed of Ganso and Krissettigue's backcourt organization, its control is definitely the strongest in Barcelona right now. In the whole game, Fabregas successfully passed 35 times, Alaba successfully passed 30 times, and Busquets successfully passed 36 times. The pass success rate of the three people reached an astonishing 89%, so naturally the initiative of the midfield was firmly controlled.

In addition, a fulcrum in Barcelona's offensive system is now becoming more and more powerful, and this point is... Vasquis!

In the game, Vasquis' pass only 19 passes and 16 successful passes. 8 passes were only successful, but he completed 6 counterattacks on the wing. The most important thing was his 8 passes on the left, which was tore through Sevilla's defense with his own strength, and the assist he gave Shaq was also passed by breaking through the opponent after cutting inside.

With the control of the midfield, Vasquis' breakthrough on the flank and the restraint of the "Little Pharaoh" on the right, Shaq's offensive finisher was really easy.

In fact, in addition to these offensive methods, Barcelona's assist ability on the wing is also very strong. Ben Parker and Raphael have both extremely strong assist ability, especially Ben Parker, as Shaq's good brother, the tacit understanding between the two is definitely incomparable to others, but they are not required to perform in this game at all.

Barcelona now... is indeed powerful and perfect!

As time enters February, the winter transfer window is closed. Back in La Liga, Barcelona relied on Shaq's hat-trick in the 21st round of the league and defeated Malaga 3-1 away.

In this round of the league La Liga, Guardiola's Atletico Madrid tied 3:3 with Sevilla away, and their second place in the standings were replaced by Real Madrid without hesitation.

At this time of the season, Barcelona expanded their advantage in the league to 7 points!

In such a fierce battle, even Barcelona fans expressed their gratitude in the official website's message. If it weren't for the "brutal Simon" leading the team to achieve a crazy record of 20 wins, 1 draw and 61 points, even if it were the "cosmic team" under Guardiola in the past, it would not have been possible to maintain an advantage in such a fierce battle. After all, Real Madrid, which is ranked second in the standings, has also achieved 17 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss and 54 points in 21 games. This was basically a good result to win the championship in the past, but this season...Prandelli and Real Madrid could only be ranked second in the standings with grievances.

Last season, Sevilla won the championship with 84 points. These are the champions with the highest points in the La Liga in recent years. The La Liga, which was originally full of medical aesthetics, has also paid more and more attention to defense in recent years. The goal numbers of each team are decreasing year by year. It was not until Barcelona's sudden emergence this season that the offensive craze once again appeared in the La Liga.

After a discussion on the forum, Barcelona fans unanimously recognized Simon Grayson's contribution to the team and the current team captain Shaq's ability to lead the team. Then, naturally, Shaq's number of goals this season, the result...

Everyone was shocked!

This season, Shaq has played 34 main games for Barcelona, ​​with a total of...99 goals!

99 more!?

After enthusiastic fans posted all Shaq's goals this season, countless Barcelona fans knelt down completely. They saw Shaq scored 5 goals in the first game for Barcelona, ​​and saw Shaq scored 7 goals in the second game, saw Shaq's 18 hat tricks, as well as many four goals, five goals, six goals, and seven goals!

99 goals were scored in 34 games, with an average of 2.91 goals per game. No wonder Shaq scored so many hat tricks!

In addition to these 99 goals, Shaq also contributed 18 assists to his teammates, with 117 goals directly participating. Barcelona has 159 goals this season. Shaq has participated in three-quarters of the team's goals, and no matter he is in front, Vasquis, Salomon, Salave, Ganso and others can easily find the cover.

Facts have proved that whether you admit it or not, Shaq is indeed an indispensable pillar of Barcelona, ​​the number one star and soul!

This captain is really... well deserved!

Fans were discussing how Shaq would celebrate the upcoming 100 goals. After all, the fans of the "Red Devils" Manchester United were willing to spare no expense, material resources and manpower. They carried buckets of red scrolls and went out with the team, which was really majestic!

Barcelona fans have always been arrogant and naturally are not willing to surrender. They also do not bother to use the tricks that Manchester United has used. They must think of some new tricks.

Now Barcelona fans have completely accepted Shaq. Shaq's previous slap in the face was also regarded as a revolution by the fans. The facts have proved that such a revolution is indeed what the team needs. The "brutal Simon" and his disciples have created a great Barcelona team, and they will definitely establish a dynasty in the next few years.

Even many fans think that the so-called "Dream Team" and "Cosmic Team" are an insult to the current Barcelona team. This Barcelona team, which has only tied one game so far this season, is undoubtedly the strongest Barcelona in history.

Not only are fans looking forward to Shaq scoring the 100th goal for Barcelona, ​​but Shaq's teammates are the same. Even before the team is about to play in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal in Sevilla, the vice captain, asked Shaq on the training ground about sweating and jumping while practicing squatting on the spot.

"Shake, tomorrow's game...will you score a goal?"

"have no idea."

Shaq replied during the squat, then jumped up again, making Fabregas speechless. After the New Year, Shaq suddenly became harder in training than before. Even... it can be said that he was crazy and desperate!

In the past, Shaq worked very hard during training. He was always able to complete the training plans arranged by the coaches with quality and quantity, and he often practiced more frequently. But compared with now, it was like playing games. Now Shaq is twice as efficient as the training plan, which means that his training volume doubles compared to the training plan. Even so, Shaq will practice for one to two hours every day.

It gives people the feeling...it seems Shaq is very anxious about something!

Except for Shaq himself, naturally no one knows what kind of crisis he is facing. His peak period has passed, and from now on his strength will be worse than that of a year, but sufficient training can make his condition slower and make his career longer.

"Shake, you've scored 99 goals for the team, and you'll have 100 goals soon!"

"oh!"

Shaq still didn't stop. He just said "Oh", as if this was a trivial thing.

But Fabregas knew that this should be Shaq’s real idea. In Shaq’s first two seasons when Shaq transferred to Manchester United, Shaq scored 126 goals in 64 games in the first season for Manchester United. In the second season, he scored 200 goals in 66 games!

Even though the "Red Devils" have reduced their goal efficiency due to coach changes and various reasons in the past two seasons, Shaq still scored 48 goals in 48 games in his third season and 62 goals in 57 games in his fourth season.

Maybe it's really normal for Shaq to score a goal of over 100!

"Well! You can continue practicing, I'll talk to others."

Fabregas shook his head with a wry smile, turned his head toward Ganso, Alba, and Busquets, who were practicing a quick pass, and the starting roster of tomorrow's game against Sevilla has been confirmed. These three players will be Barcelona's midfield triangle tomorrow.

Fabregas wanted to talk to them and make sure they helped Shaq score the 100th goal for Barcelona. In Barcelona's top ten best scorers list, Balasso, ranked last, also scored 112 goals, but it is obvious that it is not difficult for Shaq to surpass him, and it even takes less than a season to do it.

As the vice captain, Fabregas obviously wanted to help Shaq, but he really underestimated this "King of Football"...

On February 6, the Camp Nou Stadium was full, and 103949 fans came to the scene to witness the historic moment when Shaq scored a goal of over 100 for the team in a single season.

Just 10 minutes into the game, before Barcelona's powerful midfielder could create opportunities for Shaq, Shaq himself created opportunities-

When Shaq was receiving the pass from Ganso on the back of the Sevilla penalty area, he was pulled to the ground by Sevilla's No. 16 central defender Jorge Prido behind him. The referee immediately awarded a free kick to Barcelona... a free kick in the top of the penalty area!

After the Sevilla players lined up the wall and rubbed for a while, the game time had already reached 12 minutes. Then Shaq ran three steps in a diagonal line and pulled the ball with a swing of his right leg!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound like a roar of huge cannons sounded in the Camp Nou Stadium!

Next moment—

The ball turned into a ray of light, passed through the left side of the Sevilla wall, and instantly flew to the dead corner of the lower left corner of the Sevilla goal!

Sevilla's goalkeeper Julian had already made a fish jump to the right to save the fire. Moreover, due to the position of the human wall, his position was relatively close to this side, but just when his body was in the air, he was surprised to find that his speed was... too slow!

Before Julian's fish jumping reached the position, the ball had already flew past him!

"gol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

There was a huge cheer from the Camp Nou Stadium. Shaq's 100th goal came so easily. This is really...so powerful!

Julian threw himself in front of the goal, and only one thought was left in his head...

Too fast!

It's really too fast!

This is really a shot from someone!?
Chapter completed!
