On the weekend, La Liga continued to fight.

A war that has attracted countless eyes is about to begin.

Valencia will head to Camp Nou to play a key battle with Barcelona.

This game actually has extraordinary significance for Barcelona.

If they fail to win Valencia, then Real Madrid will likely take this opportunity to widen the points gap.

This is very unfavorable for Barcelona's league defending.

Of course, Valencia also thinks so, they have never given up their desire for a La Liga championship.

Camp Nou Stadium is a holy place for Barcelona fans. It is the largest stadium in Europe. If it is full, it can accommodate more than 100,000 fans to watch the game.

This is also the first time Xu Qi has stepped on the turf of Camp Nou.

Although he had played against Barcelona, ​​it was the UEFA Super Cup in Monaco.

It was not done on this court.

The La Liga match with Valencia can be said to be very important to Barcelona, ​​which is almost the second most critical event to the Spanish national derby.

Similarly, in China, this game has attracted countless attention and countless attention.

It is rumored that the ratings of this game are likely to exceed the attention of the Spanish national derby, that is, the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

More Chinese fans are of course supporting the Valencia team where Xu Qi is located, except for many Barcelona fans.

In the eyes of many Barcelona fans, Valencia does not have the strength to win the La Liga championship. They hope Xu Qi will perform well in person, but they do not hope that Valencia can organize Barcelona to win the game.

In fact, the same heart can be seen by Real Madrid when Valencia meets Real Madrid.

At 2 a.m. Beijing time, this game starts. This time period is actually not conducive to many fans watching the game. Fortunately, it is a weekend, and there are still a large number of people who have the next day off to stay up late to watch the game.

Before the game, the TV also specially created a small feature film before the game to preview the game.

In this game, Xu Qi's red card was lifted, which is a favorable benefit for Valencia and actually a favorable benefit for La Liga commercial brand marketing.

If Xu Qi was suspended for such a major game because of a red card, the ratings of this game in China will definitely drop a lot. Fortunately, Xu Qi's red card appeared in the sixth round of the game against Athletic Bilbao.

Before the game, Guardiola said that La Liga is not a league between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and teams such as Valencia and Villarreal have very strong strength.

They all have the strength to attack the championship. Barcelona will never underestimate every opponent. He needs the players to be themselves.

Regarding Xu Qi's return to the ban, Guardiola also said: "We don't care about the situation of the opponent's players. What's important is how we play."

Emery said that although their opponents are strong, they still desire a victory.

In La Liga, some teams may strategically choose to give up resistance when encountering super strong teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, but Valencia is definitely not among them.

Valencia has always been determined to win the championship!

...

An hour before the start of the game, the starting rosters of both sides were released.

For Barcelona, ​​the goalkeeper is still Valdes.

On the back line, right back Alves and left back Marcoswell.

The two centre-backs are naturally Puyol and Pique.

In this game, Barcelona made some adjustments in the midfield, with Keita, Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta starting at the same time.

But according to many experts' speculation, Iniesta is likely not to appear in the midfield, but to appear in the left winger.

And on the forward line, it is naturally the partner of Xu Qi and Villa.

Villa is also a major highlight of this game. After all, this is the first time Villa has faced his old owner after transferring to Barcelona.

On the bench of Barcelona, ​​there are also Pinto, Abidal, Adriano, Mascherano, Thiago, Boyan and Pedro.

Among them, Boyang is also a big opponent who is very likely to compete with Xu Qi for this year's European Golden Boy Award.

However, in the eyes of many people, there is no big suspense about Xu Qi winning this year's Golden Boy Award. Although Boyang squeezed Ibrahimovic to the bench in the last stage of last season, after the start of this season, with Villa's arrival, he has not had many opportunities to play.

Others such as Balotelli, Coutinho, Tony Cross, Wilshire, etc., are difficult to threaten the position of Xu Qi, who is at its peak at this time.

After watching Barcelona's starting lineup, let's look at the starting lineup of Valencia.

When many people saw Valencia's starting lineup, they couldn't help but think Emery was quite pragmatic.

Because he formed a formation of five defenders.

The three central defenders are Bruno, Mathieu and Navarro.

On both sides are Costa on the right and Alba on the left.

In fact, Alba also came from the Barcelona youth training camp. He got the opportunity to start in this game and wanted to prove his ability in front of Barcelona and Guardiola.

The goalkeeper is still Cesar Sanchez.

In the midfield, Alberda, Hernandez, Banéga and Xu Qi started.

Among them, Alberda, Banegas and Hernandez may be the midfielders responsible for pressing in the middle.

Xu Qi is more responsible for the offensive.

The team's starting center is Soldado.

In this game, Mata sat on the bench, which is why the team needs more defensive players and offensive players cannot be sent too many.

Emery's plan is actually very simple, he needs Xu Qi's personal performance.

In dealing with Barcelona, ​​which is extremely powerful in the midfield, he cannot allow more players to participate in the offense. Therefore, Emery relies more on Xu Qi's personal ability and hopes that when the team encounters counterattacks, Xu Qi can complete a lot of work by himself.

Xu Qi also knew the importance of his current team to this team. His performance in this game will greatly affect the final result of the battle.

...

At Camp Nou Stadium, the visiting team's locker room is obviously a bit simpler than the home team's locker room, but it is also very good.

The players entered the player's passage with strong fighting spirit.

As for Barcelona, ​​their forward player Villa also hugged and greeted many of Valencia's old teammates.

When Villa walked to Xu Qi and patted Xu Qi on the shoulder, he was also very concerned about the recent performance of Valencia, so he knew the importance of Xu Qi to this team.

He was also very pleased to see that someone could carry the Valencia team's offensive banner for him after he left.

Xu Qi also smiled from him, and then his eyes began to sweep over the Barcelona players one by one.

This is not the first time many people here have met.

Xu Qi is still vivid in his mind about the European Super Cup that was dragged into overtime.
