La Liga giant Barcelona has a history of more than 120 years, and there have been many superstars in this century-old red and blue dynasty, but if one can be called the true soul of the team, I believe There must be a figure in many people's minds. He has curly hair and is affectionately called the "Iron-Blooded Lion" by fans. He is the former Barcelona captain Puyol. He has dedicated his entire career to the Red Lion. The Blues have left all their youthful memories at Camp Nou.
Puyol’s football career began with a small team in his hometown, and he was the goalkeeper of that team. He only came to the La Masia youth training camp when he was seventeen years old. Although he arrived late compared to many teammates, he has formed an indissoluble bond with Barcelona since then. Among the many talents at La Masia, Puyol does not seem to be the best. Due to a previous shoulder injury, Puyol transformed into a defender. Perhaps because of his experience as a goalkeeper, Puyol has a very accurate ability to predict and a brave and aggressive fight like a desperate Saburo. Coupled with an excellent football intelligence, Puyol, who is not tall, is Gradually becoming the team's main central defender, he is not only the last iron gate in front of the goal, but also the spiritual leader of this La Liga giant.
When Barcelona's "Dream Dynasty" was gradually declining, Galacticos once wanted to bring him to Madrid and recreate the scene of buying Figo, but Puyol directly chose to refuse. The idea of ??further poaching from Real Madrid came to nothing because he felt loyalty to Barcelona was in his blood. From then on, Puyol took over the captain's armband and wanted to lead the team towards revival and win the championship for his beloved team. It was his character of never giving up that made his persistence pay off.
He started Barcelona's "Dream Second Dynasty" together with Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Xavi and others, and also set an unprecedented record of six crowns as captain. The Iron-Blooded Lion's court style is tenacious and fierce. It is precisely because of this tenacity that Barcelona won 23 championships during the years when they had Puyol. When I chose to say goodbye after four years, in addition to leaving many beautiful memories, I only took away one injury. While many people praised Meng Er for having Ronaldinho and Meng San for being in the msn combination, behind them was Puyol. The red and blue soul forged by the legendary central defender.
