Chapter 30: The starting point of ascending to the altar!
"Swish, swish, swish, swish…..."
After the Catalans cheered wildly in the Camp Nou Stadium, many fans suddenly raised their hands and electronic cards appeared!
"Click!"
The light in the Camp Nou Stadium suddenly lit up a lot, and tens of thousands of electronic cards were lit up. Four of them were exactly the same, with the same color as the Barcelona uniform, and the red-text patterns on the stands on each side...
"100! Four patterns made of electronic cards suddenly appeared in the stands! 100! This is Shaq's 100th goal for Barcelona! 100 goals in 35 games! I really don't know how to describe Shaq's efficiency. I just want to say that Shaq is the most powerful player I have ever seen. He is the most perfect goal machine, no one! He is far more powerful than Messi... Ah! Shaq is running along the sideline while waving to the fans, and he received even greater cheers.
Voice...Tsk tsk, looking at the confident smile on Shaq's face, it's unimaginable that his performance is so good, but he is still so calm! Ah... By the way, I almost forgot that this is not the first time Shaq scored a goal of over 100 in a single season. When he was at Manchester United, he had two experiences of over 100 in a single season, and he also created a miracle of 200 in a single season! But I want to say... Well, the 100th goal scored for Barcelona may be just a starting point for Shaq to reach the Barcelona altar!"
Barcelona fans had already had a premonition that Shaq would win the 100th goal he scored for Barcelona in this game, but no one expected that the goal would come so easily... A free kick, Shaq's shot, and the goal came!
Not every player can score with free kicks, and there are even many forwards and midfielders. They have never scored goals in this way in their entire lives, but Shaq...the free kick seems to be just a way of scoring for him, which is normal!
Sevilla's players did not disturb Shaq's celebration. They just looked at the figure with complex eyes and awe... 100 goals, scoring 100 goals in a single season only took 35 games. Such strength really makes people unable to even become jealous!
Shaq was obviously not the kind of person who was content with a goal. Just six minutes later, Rivelo directly made a 50-meter pass forward in the backcourt. Shaq, who was running quickly, rushed into the Sevilla penalty area before Sevilla's two defenders.
"Dong!"
Shaq's heavy artillery fired again, and his right foot directly hit the ball into the lower right corner of Sevilla's goal... 2:0!
Sevilla's goalkeeper Julian judged the direction and route of Shaq's shot, but he once again found sadly that his reaction speed and movement speed were too slow!
It seemed inspired by the familiar melody of "Sak Song" sounded at Camp Nou Stadium, Shaq, who scored twice, was still active in the game. In 41 minutes, he received a straight pass from Vasquis in the left penalty area, and pulled the ball diagonally to Sevilla's right post and bounced into the goal...3:0!
In the 57th minute of the second half, Salah Vie made a cross from the side. Shaq was pulled by the opponent's defender in the middle of the penalty area, and he fell to the ground and shot and sent the ball into the goal again...4:0!
Shaq, who completed the "big four-year-old" celebration, was frantically cheered by Catalan fans. At this time, no Barcelona fans accused Shaq of his actions against the "godfather" Cruyff. Shaq was indeed qualified. It didn't even take long to win the number of championships that Shaq brought to Barcelona far exceeds Cruyff!
Four goals finally satisfy Shaq's goal. He also stopped rushing and hitting hard on the court, and changed careers and started to support his teammates' passing, which also made Sevilla feel much more relaxed.
However, Barcelona's goals are still constantly "spraying"...
In the 66th minute, Rivero pushed the corner kick from Vasquis into the goal. In the 77th minute, Shaq pulled the ball to the left and got the ball and made a cross. Alaba, who rushed up from behind, finally locked the score at 6:0!
The best player after the game naturally gave Shaq 4 goals and 1 assist. This is completely uncontroversial. Shaq's performance is really too eye-catching. Moreover... this is the 29th time Shaq has been named the best on the spot in 35 games for Barcelona. This also shows how hot Shaq is now and how much Barcelona relies on him.
It was not until this time that Catalans enjoyed the joy that the "Red Devils" fans had at the time. With a perverted existence like Shaq, football matches can indeed become happy and exciting, and they can make a small profit from the bookmaker by guessing the outcome of the game, because the odds for Barcelona to win the game are really too low.
After eliminating Sevilla with a total score of 9:1, Barcelona advanced to the final of the Copa del Rey this season. Their opponent was not the old enemy Real Madrid, but the two-round matches to defeat Real Madrid's Valencia with a score of 2:1. In this way, Barcelona has almost taken the Copa del Rey this season into their arms, and the chance of winning the domestic league double championship this season has greatly increased.
In this game, in addition to Shaq's single-season goal-breaking 100, a new Barcelona record was born... Vasquis's single-season assists reached 29, breaking the previous record of 28 assists in a single-season maintained by Xavi.
Barcelona this season is destined to create multiple records, such as La Liga goal record, goal conced, points record, goal record in the Copa del Rey, etc., and the assist record broken by Vasquis is relatively nothing.
However, Vasquis's agent took this opportunity to request a salary increase to the club. As Shaq arrived 100 goals, Barcelona's official immediately launched various souvenirs, and made a lot of money from the fans with the Dongfeng. The "brutal Simon" showed his generous side in terms of money and directly agreed to increase Vasquis' annual salary to 5.75 million euros. This number does not seem high and ranks only 11th in Barcelona. However, Vasquis' annual salary was only 1 million before. Considering that he was only 23 years old, it is really not low. After all, not everyone can compare with Shaq.
What makes people feel a little funny is that after playing the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Barcelona welcomed Sevilla again at the Camp Nou Stadium just four days later, but this time the two teams played the 22nd round of the La Liga.
After slaughtering his opponent 6-0 in the last game, Barcelona has fought against his opponent three times this season. Simon Grayson really knows Sevilla too thoroughly, so he made another new attempt in this game.
In the past, Simon Grayson thought that Alaba, Ganso and Fabregas should be the three of them playing in two midfield positions, but this time he made a new attempt. He let the three of them play at the same time. Fabregas, who had played a midfielder in Arsenal before, returned to his old career. In addition, Alaba and Ganso in front of him, Barcelona used three technical midfielders at the same time in the game for the first time this season!
It seems that Barcelona is born to be a technical team. During the game, Simon Grayson discovered that the effect of using three technical midfielders at the same time was amazingly good!
Although the final score of the game was only 4:0, Shaq scored for the team in just 3 minutes of the game and scored twice at the end of the midfield, scoring the team's third goal in the game, and the other two goals came from Batista and Salomon.
For a full 90 minutes, Barcelona firmly controlled the initiative of the game. The number of shots 22 times was 4 more than the previous game 6:0, and the ball possession rate reached an astonishing 67%. The success rate of everyone's passing in the game was as high as 91%!
After the game, Simon Grayson couldn't help but wonder whether it was necessary to arrange a defensive midfielder for Barcelona like Busquets and Krissettigue. Fabregas succeeded 62 passes and 60 times in this game, completing 3 steals and 7 interceptions. Although he only won one header, he also had a direct assist and instigated Barcelona's offensive many times, and his contribution to the team's offense was really huge.
However, is this performance that Barcelona is strong enough or is it because Sevilla is too weak?
Simon Grayson wanted to explore it, but the feeling of fully controlling the game was as fatal as drugs to every head coach. It was not until this time that Simon Grayson finally realized why Guardiola was so persistent in pursuing ball control. It was really... a wonderful enjoyment!
Seeing the ball always under the feet of your team, and then waiting for your team to win with peace of mind is definitely a down-to-earth sense of security. Being the head coach of such a team will definitely not have any heart disease!
In the next few days, Simon Grayson was hesitating. He kept meetings with his coaching staff and carefully discussed the possibility of allowing Barcelona to combine their previous ball-handling tactics with the current "Solar System tactics", but the result... was not optimistic.
Barcelona's traditional ball-control tactics are a slow-paced game tactic, while the "Solar System tactics" are based on Shaq's personal ability, speed, explosive power, and impact. If the two want to integrate... it is really a bit unrealistic. If you have to force it, it will inevitably cause a variety of uncertainties.
Although Simon Grayson also felt that what his partners said made sense, he just couldn't curb his inner desire. Barcelona was about to go to Madrid to play the 23rd round of La Liga away with Atletico Madrid, while Atletico Madrid's head coach was Guardiola.
