Chapter 0096, 20 Principles and 40% Rule
In less than half an hour, Barcelona led their opponent 3-0.
Not to mention the recent losing streak and consecutive draws, even counting from the first game of this season, Barcelona has not gone so smoothly.
In addition to the score, the players' mental outlook on the court is even more gratifying.
Watching the players on the field celebrating the third goal, Migli on the sidelines clapped with a smile on his face: "This Icardi has actually changed his gender."
The assistant coach was stunned: "Icardi, he went to Thailand?"
Migli: "I mean changing the personality! It's not a one-size-fits-all approach!"
Assistant coach: "Oh, I was shocked..."
"Look at just now, he was willing to run a few more steps in the penalty area; he was also willing to pass the ball back instead of forcing a shot himself."
"Yes, it's really a good sign."
"And Thiago, he actually switched positions with Chang Ming. The second and third goals were all scored after switching positions. It's really good."
"You didn't arrange it?"
"No. I only told them that they can adjust freely according to changes on the field, and the ball can be replaced."
"They are really two smart young people. They have such an overall view and are definitely worth cultivating."
"Is it valuable to train? If they continue to play like this, I believe it won't be long before we have no chance to continue to train them."
"No way? There is no shortage of midfielders in the first team."
"But the first team operates on multiple fronts and needs enough rotation. These two unique boys are likely to be taken away."
"That's also a good thing. More players can stand out from the youth ranks. This is the legacy of La Masia."
The coaching staff off the court were chatting, and the players on the court were still working hard to attack.
Three goals did not satisfy them.
In the 41st minute of the game, Barcelona once again had the opportunity to change the score.
This time it was another sudden forward thrust from Chang Ming.
Girona has begun to focus its defensive attention on Chang Ming, even reducing the number of defensive midfielders to defend Thiago.
Despite this, Chang Ming still found a moment of negligence in the opponent's defensive formation.
Suddenly dribbling forward with the ball!
Follow the same pattern and make a short pass into the penalty area!
Icardi stops the ball and passes back!
Chang Ming catches the ball!
This is exactly the same as Chang Ming's cooperation just before the goal!
The Girona defender stretched out his hand and pulled!
I would rather take the cards than let Chang Ming start again!
The moment he was grabbed by his opponent, Chang Ming took action!
Even if the shooting power is insufficient, the passing is no problem!
This is a kick - a pass!
The ball goes over the opponent's defensive player's head!
The moment Chang Ming was pulled, Icardi had already started to turn around and accelerate!
There is not much chance of shooting, Chang Ming will definitely pass the ball to me!
I don’t care which way it is!
The ball will definitely be passed anyway!
I'm 100% sure!
Chang Ming made a pass! The ball flew towards the penalty area!
The ball went over the head of the Girona centre-back!
Landed exactly in front of Icardi!
The goalkeeper strikes!
Icardi has no chance to stop the ball!
But he had no intention of stopping the ball!
Volley shot!
The ball hit the net hard!
4 to 0!
Barcelona's goals continue!
The passing and running coordination this time is simply world-class!
Icardi got up from the ground after scoring the goal, and heard the applause and cheers of the fans on the sidelines!
Don't skimp on your physical strength and rush towards Chang Ming!
"Brother! Brother!!!"
No need to say anything more!
Just a tight hug!
Chang Ming praised loudly in Icardi's ear: "Brother! You are the most talented striker I have ever seen!"
Icardi: "Hahahaha! I like this! I also think I am more talented than that guy Messi!"
Chang Ming: "Wait a minute, let me say it again - you are the most talented youth team forward I have ever seen besides Messi."
Icardi: "Hey, hey, hey! You don't play like this!"
Chang Ming: "Haha!"
At this moment, Chang Ming completely let go of the pressure in his heart and celebrated with unbridled cheers!
In just half of the game, he participated in all the team's goals!
With one goal and three assists, I am worthy of the starting position and the important task of being the playmaker!
Before the end of the first half, Icardi had a chance to score a hat trick.
However, Tello's passing position was a bit off, and the Argentine was not in the right position.
Icardi looked at Tello with disdain: "Practice passing when you have time, don't just 'chunk'."
Tello: "You can't shoot the ball yourself, and you blame me for my inaccurate passing?"
Icardi: "Look at how Ming passed the ball just now? Then look at yourself."
Tello: "What level is he! Can I compare with him!"
Deulofeu also came over, looked at Tello, and said earnestly: "Chang Ming's assists to me are very accurate. You really need to learn from him."
Tello: "You are going to bully me for not scoring a goal today, right? Just wait, I will definitely score a goal in the second half!"
The referee's whistle sounded and the first half of the game was over.
On the sidelines of the court, Migli hugged the players with a smile on his face.
"Well done, boys!"
Especially when he saw Deulofeu and Tello, his smile became even brighter.
"Your movement was very good today, helping to create a lot of space in the middle. You are also a major contributor to the victory of the game."
"Thank you for the compliment, coach!"
"In the second half, you guys come off the court and rest, and I'll let the others go up and get a feel for it."
Teluo was stunned: "Coach, I still have the strength, I still want to play for a while, I want to score a goal..."
Migli: "Just rest, it will be very beneficial for you to learn Chang Ming's overall view and passing on the sidelines."
Icardi patted Tello on the shoulder: "I'm just telling you, you have to follow Ming..."
Tello: "Shut up!"
At the beginning of the second half, Migli used three substitutions.
Deulofeu, Tello and Thiago were all replaced, with Cuenca, Gomez and Costas coming on as substitutes.
The purpose of this is obvious, which is to let more young people find the feeling of competition.
La Masia Youth Training Camp has two important requirements, the "20 Principle" and the "40% Rule".
The "20 principle" means that each echelon has no less than 19 and no more than 21 players. Players of all age echelons in the youth training system have covered all positions to prevent some future stars from quitting midway.
The "40% rule" means that in all games of the youth team, each player's playing time throughout the season cannot be less than 40% of the total game minutes in the season.
Such a move is to ensure that every young player has a balanced training opportunity, demonstrates La Masia's responsibility and respect for every young player, and also ensures the quality and reputation of the players it cultivates.
Therefore, the Barcelona youth team did not perform well in the youth league, not because of their lack of strength, but because of the large-scale rotation.
If the main players were used in every game, Barcelona's youth team would not encounter this dilemma.
It is worthwhile to exchange the achievements of the youth team for the maximum growth of young people.
But now, after replacing the three main offensive players, Barcelona's offense is obviously much weaker.
