In the battle of the century against Real Madrid, Barcelona defeated their arch-rival with a score of 3-0. This made Barcelona in the limelight for a while!
Barcelona's top striker, Eto 'o, was the best player of the game.
Barcelona's midfield core, Ronaldinho, also performed well in the game. He directly assisted Eto 'o to score a goal and scored a penalty kick. The Catalonia powerhouse defeated the Real Madrid powerhouse powerhouse.
Today, Barcelona's team was full of talents and strong. Barcelona's players were full of superstars. They were also regarded as the second Barcelona Dream Team after Cruyff's Barcelona Dream Team: Eto 'o, Harvey, Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Decaux …
Especially Ronaldinho, the Brazilian superstar who had just arrived in Barcelona from Paris in the summer. He was now at a brilliant new beginning of his career! He deserved to be the number one in the football world!
There were already media praises for Ronaldinho, saying that if they wanted to stop this man, they had to tie his feet with tape. Otherwise, it would be impossible.

Li Ang was watching the video of the game. When he saw Barcelona's wonderful performance in the game against Real Madrid, Li Ang frowned.
In this game, Barcelona almost crushed Real Madrid. In the game, Real Madrid almost did not get any chances!
"This Barcelona team is very strong. They are definitely the favorite to win the title." Banderas was arranging the camera equipment in his hands as he expressed his opinion of the game.
Just now, the two of them watched the video of the game together. After watching the video, Li Ang was silent.
"I'm not weak either," Li Ang said.
Banderas looked at him and was amused. He knew Li Ang well. He was not a person who would admit defeat. When Li Ang said "we're not weak", it was already showing that he was weak. It showed that Li Ang admitted that Barcelona was very strong. Otherwise, Li Ang would have said "we're strong too!". Or even "we're stronger."
"Go do your work, Pablo." Li Ang ignored him. He needed to calm down and think. He was about to face the strongest opponent he had encountered in his coaching career. Moreover, Li Ang knew that this opponent would become stronger in the next few seasons. It could be said that the whole of Europe was shrouded in the shadow of Barcelona.

That night, after Banderas checked the rest of the players, he caught a glimpse of the light in Li Ang's room. He hesitated for a moment and knocked on Li Ang's door. He found Li Ang sitting in front of the television, still staring at the screen, deep in thought. He also wrote and drew in his notebook from time to time.
Banderas came over and saw that the video of the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid was still on the screen.
"It's been seven or eight hours since this afternoon, and you've been watching her?" Banderas was shocked.
"No." Li Ang turned his head and glanced at him. He pointed to his notebook and the tactical board next to it, which was full of writing. "I have other work to do. I know how to strike a balance between work and rest." After that, he turned his head back and watched the game on the television screen.
Banderas shook his head helplessly. This was called striking a balance between work and rest?!
When the two of them used to work together on the Real Madrid youth team, he used to know that Li Ang was a workaholic. He did not expect this person to work even crazier now.
"The Barcelona team plays so well …" Seeing that Li Ang continued to work, Banderas had to sit down and accompany him to watch the video of the game.
"Barcelona's offensive routines are very rich. The speed of their offense is very fast. Their players are very good. They are all geniuses. Rijkaard has integrated these geniuses very well. They play very well … Such a team is not easy to deal with."
Li Ang rolled his eyes, meaning that he did not need to be told.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself in this game." Banderas looked at the tired Li Ang and said, "They are stronger than us. The media also said …"
"What did they say?" Li Ang suddenly turned his head and asked, "That it's normal for us to lose the game?"
Looking at Li Ang's angry expression and the sharp light in his eyes, Banderas suddenly laughed, "I'm relieved to see that your confidence is back."
"They are very strong, but they are not invincible. How can they make me lose confidence?" Li Ang shook his head and said.
"Have you found a way to deal with them?" Banderas' eyes lit up.
Li Ang shook his head, "Not yet." Then he paused and suddenly laughed, "But, I have a feeling!"
Banderas wanted to say something more, but he saw Li Ang get up, "Let's go. Have a drink with me. I haven't eaten dinner. I'm hungry!"
"I asked you to eat dinner, but you said you had eaten." Banderas muttered.
Li Ang ignored him and walked quickly. He was indeed hungry.

"Sporting de Gijón is indeed the dark horse of this season's La Liga. They have also beaten Real Madrid. But, so what? Barcelona is now extremely strong and can win any game!"
This was the view of the Catalonia media, El Deportivo de Sport, about the game.
In fact, Barcelona's media generally had this view. Although their unbeaten golden body was broken by Real Betis in the 11th round of the league, they followed up with a three-goal victory over Real Madrid. They won to their heart's content. The whole of Europe was praising Barcelona, which made the Barcelona people full of confidence. Losing to Real Betis was just an accident and not worth mentioning. Now, they were the strongest team in Europe! They would destroy whoever they saw!
The whole of Catalonia was overtaken by this optimism. Everyone felt that Barcelona had entered the fast lane of destroying whoever they saw. Sporting de Gijón was the dark horse, but they could not be the tiger that stood in the way of Barcelona. Moreover, this dark horse was not in good condition now.
Barcelona's top scorer, Eto 'o, the Cameroonian striker, said in an interview that he thought Barcelona's victory over Sporting de Gijón was a foregone conclusion. The team was now unprecedentedly strong!
When Eto 'o said this, he was extremely confident. In fact, in this game, against Sporting de Gijón, the Cameroonian was very competitive. There was no other reason. At the current La Liga's top scorer list, he and Milito both had 10 goals. This made Eto' o very unhappy. He did not want to share the feeling of standing at the top with anyone else! Milito, an Argentine who still cared about the Serie B last season, had no right to share the glory of the throne with him.
In an interview with the Catalonia's local media, the reporter asked Eto 'o how he evaluated Milito, who was now tied with him in the top scorer list.
Eto 'o's answer was, "Milito is a good striker. For a player like him, to be able to score more than 10 goals in a season is definitely an outstanding performance. Now, he has exceeded his expectations."
This seemed to be a compliment to Milito, but as long as one was not a fool, one could tell that the Cameroonian did not care about Milito. The implication was that Milito was only a player who scored about 10 goals in a season. How could he be compared to Eto 'o?
The media was the best at fanning the flames.
The Catalonia's media, Football Storm, then had this headline on the front page of their newspaper:
Milito? Who was he?
This headline was simply the voice of the proud Cameroonian cheetah.

He went to the hospital to get some medicine. His heart ached. The cost of the medicine was not small.
After returning from the hospital, he hurried to write. He wore his headphones and wrote, barely coping with the interference of the ringing in his ears.
