Barcelona 2:1 Valladolid;

Inter Milan 1:0 Verona;

Barcelona continued to top the La Liga standings, leading Real Madrid 7 points with one more game, and the situation of winning the championship became clearer.

After Inter Milan won this game, the team finally stopped the recent league downturn. Currently, Naples is still 3 points behind the top spot, and there is hope of winning the championship.

Whether it is Barcelona or Inter Milan, in addition to winning this round, there is one thing in common, that is, the teams have undergone large rotations, and almost all the main players are sitting off the court.

As the MVP after the game against Valladolid, Hrad Martin admitted that there will be two finals in the next week (Inter Milan's Champions League and Real Madrid's national derby). No matter what, we must persist until the end. There is no reason to retreat and we must strive to win. Inter Milan goalkeeper Josep Martinez is also not to be outdone: no matter how strong the opponent is, it is not easy to defeat us at our home court! In the first round of the competition, the two teams staged a wonderful goal battle, with 6 goals, each of which was wonderful! Both sides have brought their own characteristics to the extreme, and Barcelona has used its strong control to produce classic cooperation. Inter Milan's counterattack and set-pieces made Barcelona suffer.

The ability to draw the strong Barcelona away, both the media and the fans, expressed high praise for Inter Milan's performance and resilience. Although head coach Frick complained about the team's failure to win, he had to accept reality.

When talking about how to deal with the second round of competition, Josep Martinez mentioned Yamal in the highlight! I bluntly say that everyone thinks Yamal is unstoppable. Although we also admit that he is indeed excellent, it is not impossible to limit him. The team is ready in the second round, and pressing, double-teaming, and small-scale system cooperation will become weapons to limit Yamal.

includes assistant coach Faris, who also expressed his attitude towards defending Yamal at the post-match press conference: to limit and reduce his space for activities with all his strength.

Although Josep Martinez and Faris talked about ways to limit Yamal, it is not easy to really pinch this genius. In the first round of the match, the defensive system of the five international defenders was greatly embarrassed by Yamal's personal ability. Mkhitaryan, Dimarco and Bastoni have become background boards several times.

Xiao Inzaji has tried many ways to destroy his rhythm of getting the ball with a tough confrontation, double-teaming to limit his comfortable catch, and use the system to surround and block the ball. The effect is not very ideal. As long as Yamal holds the ball, his personal dribbling skills can often break through the situation strongly. Coupled with Pedri's dispatch in the middle and the forward runs of Ferrantors and Rafinia in the frontcourt, the restrictions on Yamal are not ideal.

Inter Milan is very eager to advance to the Champions League final, so as one of the absolute main players of the team, Lautaro urgently needs to return to the arena as soon as possible. Although his injury does not support him to play 100%, Lautaro has a strong desire to ask for a fight, and the coaching staff is still making the final assessment.

Of course, injuries do not only refer to Inter Milan, but Barcelona also have a headache. At present, the team is still a little difficult to decide whether Lewandowski and Valde can play. These two people are crucial to Barcelona's offensive and defensive system. Valde's all-round attributes are far beyond Herad Martin. Lewandowski's high center forward tactics are something Ferrantores cannot achieve.

And in many set pieces defenses, especially against Inter Milan's physical and confrontational advantages, Lewandowski will also play a crucial role.

can only be determined at present. Lewandowski and Valde will appear on flights to Italy, but whether they can play depends on the further evaluation of the team doctor and coaching staff. After all, there is a key battle with Real Madrid in the future, and Frick dares not take the risk to make a decision.

However, judging from the latest news, Lewandowski's recovery is relatively ideal, while Valde is still not ideal. But for Barcelona, ​​if there is Lewandowski in the frontcourt, the overall offensive threat of the team will inevitably increase a lot.
