The joy of winning the league championship after six years did not go to the Catalan people’s minds. The shrewd Laporta quickly completed the match with the core of the team. The contract renewal plan undoubtedly shows the lawyer’s ambition for the championship. Compared with last season, Barcelona's personnel changes are not big. The introduction of Van Bommel and Esquero are just appropriate supplements. The talents such as Edmilson, Motta, Marquez, Larsson and others who have returned from injury are The person Rijkaard relies on. Barcelona, ??which is full of injured soldiers, can still beat Real Madrid and stabilize the championship. The well-staffed Red and Blue Army will definitely defend the title to the end...

Transfer Comments:

Legends with Barcelona Van Bommel, who has been rumored for many years, finally landed at the Nou Camp as he wished, and Ezguero, who has become an indispensable figure in Bilbao, also wore the number of the former superstar Cruyff after the end of his contract. The former is powerful His ability to fight and both offense and defense further strengthens the aggressiveness of Barcelona's central axis. As a winger and center, the latter may face the fate of being benched at the beginning of the season, but he will not have to worry about not having a chance to play in the two-line battle.

The big-name players who left Barcelona were Riquelme, who moved to Villarreal, and Saviola, who was loaned to Sevilla. However, both of them were not suitable for Barcelona. Players who were exiled outside France had almost no impact on Barcelona after their transfer. The departure of Herard made people lament Zhongyong's injury, and Albertini's termination could only regretfully say that his arrival last season was a mistake.

Lineup analysis:

433 will still be Barcelona’s first choice. Valdes seems to be the main goalkeeper of Barcelona. Puyol will definitely occupy one of the two central defender positions. Marquez and Oleg, who have recovered from injuries, may become Puyol's partners. The two full-back candidates are Belletti and Van Bronckhorst. In the midfield, Xavi and Deco will be indispensable elements in the Iron Triangle. In addition, the newly joined Van Bommel, the returning Edmilson and the teenager Iniesta will also find performance in frequent games. Opportunities, of course, do not rule out the possibility of Marquez playing in the midfield. The frontcourt trident of Ronaldinho, Eto'o, and Giuly will still destroy Barcelona, ??while veteran Larsson, recruit Ezguero, and supernova Messi are also figures that cannot be ignored on Barcelona's offensive line.

Watch the stars:

Barcelona is different from Real Madrid in that they are very bright. Except for playing passionate football on the field, the stars are relatively low-key off the field. Ronaldinho will still be the biggest attraction. Whether Ronaldinho can continue to be magical after admitting the identity of his illegitimate son Joao deserves attention. Messi is another highlight. He has just embarked on the road to stardom or fallen like a meteor. The first season when he enters the Barcelona first team is particularly critical. Eto'o will definitely work harder this season after losing the Golden Boot last season.

In addition, the performance of Puyol, Xavi, Deco, Van Bommel and others in the national team is also worthy of attention.

Estimated main lineup:

Valdes/Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Marcos, Belletti/Edmilson, Xavi, Deco/ Giuly, Eto'o, Ronaldinho

Barcelona History:

FC Barcelona is one of the most famous clubs in the world. In the team's more than 100-year history, it has won 45 championship trophies and is one of the three "Grand Slam" teams that has won the three major European Cups. The team is famous in international football for hiring big-name stars at high prices, such as Kubala in the 1950s, Cruyff in the 1970s, Maradona in the 1980s, Romario and Ronaldo in the 1990s, and after entering the 21st century. Ronaldinho is a representative figure in all periods.

In 1899, Swiss entrepreneur Joan Gamper established the Barcelona team, most of whom were foreigners from England and Germany, and only a few were local Barcelona people. In December 1899, the team participated in the competition for the first time. Under the influence and promotion of the team, the Spanish royal family decided to create the King of Spain Football Tournament. In 1901, the first Copa del Rey was held, but Barcelona failed to win the cup as expected. It was not until 1910 that they won the cup for the first time, and then won the cup twice in 1912 and 1913. In the 1920s, the team's momentum to win the championship was unstoppable. They won the cup five times in ten years, leaving other teams behind. With the popularity and development of football in Spain, the Spanish Football Federation decided to establish a formal league system in 1928. In the first league, Barcelona won the championship in one fell swoop. However, in the following more than ten years, the team's performance was unsatisfactory and failed to win again. It was not until 1945 that the team won the league championship after a long absence of 16 years. Then he won two consecutive championships in 1948 and 1949, becoming one of the most famous clubs in Spain. In the 1950s, Barcelona began to introduce outstanding foreign players to join, which significantly enhanced the team's strength. In 1950, Hungarian star Kubala joined the team, and at the same time the team hired Tochik as coach. Under the leadership of Tochik and Kubala, Barcelona entered an unprecedented peak period and was known as "Kubala" era. From 1951 to 1961, Kubala played for Barcelona for 11 years, winning four league championships, five cup championships, and the UEFA Cup twice, without a blank every year.

After the "Kubala" era ended, the Spanish football hegemon was replaced by Real Madrid. In the long 30-year period from 1961 to 1990, Barcelona only won two league championships. In 1973, the team hired Cruyff, the best player in Europe, to join them at a high price, and the following year they regained the league championship after 14 years. In 1985, under the leadership of German star Schuster, the team won the league championship again after 11 years. From the 1980s to the early 1990s, the team successively introduced the famous Dutch star Koeman, Bulgarian star Stoichkov, Denmark's Laudrup and Brazil's Romario. In addition, some of the country's stars finally came out of the trough in the 1990s and regained their former glory. From 1991 to 1994, the team won four consecutive league championships. For a time, Barcelona became famous in world football. In 1996, the team introduced Brazilian "prodigy" Ronaldo and won the European Cup Winners' Cup and the Spanish King's Cup. However, the league championship was won by Real Madrid. The club lacked confidence in Robson's continued coaching, so he left the Ajax team. The meritorious coach Louis van Gaal was invited, hoping to use the Dutch style to change the team. Real Madrid and Barcelona, ??the two Spanish giants, are natural enemies and have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. The match between the "White Madrid" and the "Blue and Red Legion" has always been a topic of discussion throughout Spain and even Europe.

Migueli, Sanchez, Carrasco, Schuster, Urruti, Maradona, Zubizarreta, Lineker, Baquero, Begiristain, Amor , Koeman, Laudrup, Ferrer, Stoichkov, Guardiola, Romario, Sergi, Abelardo, Ronaldo, Luis Enrique, Figo, Rival Names such as Duo, Kluivert, Puyol, and Saviola have all lived through Barcelona's most glorious era.

In the 21st century, Barcelona, ??under the leadership of new chairman Laporta, has adopted a pragmatic approach to running the club. After taking office, he introduced the new generation of Brazilian "ball king" Ronaldo, invited Dutch coach Rijkaard to coach, and created a big miracle in the 2003-2004 season, surpassing Real Madrid in the league and ranking second. name. Before the start of the new season, Barcelona's spending in the transfer market reached 50 million euros, ranking second among all European clubs, second only to Chelsea. The team has successively introduced 8 high-level players including Deco, Giuly, Larsson, Eto'o, Sylvinho, Belletti, Edmilson, and Navarro.

Confronting Real Madrid is the club's goal. At the same time, through the accumulation last season, the new Barcelona is also expected to surprise everyone in the European arena this season
