With a big away win over Valencia, Barca have just signed Aubameyang in the winter window, and the deal is currently worth a lot!
Aubameyang completed a hat-trick in his second start at Barca, and it turned out that the No. 9 Barca had been looking for was Aubameyang, a player who joined Barca for free in the winter.
After the match against Valencia, Barca captain Busquets said: "Aubameyang trained well, he lacked game time before he came, but he now has game time and he played his second start today. Hopefully he can help us in this way all the time because he's a great player and it's a luxury for him to come to Barca for free. Coach Xavi said: "Aubameyang has been scoring goals in his career and everyone is expecting him to score here soon. Having space is good for him, he's mature and smart. I'm happy with his performance and the two goals are good for him. ”
Whether Aubameyang is a good fit for Barca is actually a big controversy after the Gabon striker moved to the team. As Xavi said, Aubameyang is indeed a striker who has been scoring goals in his career, scoring an average of 1 goal in 2 games, which is the stats of the world's top strikers, but his successful teams Dortmund and Arsenal are both teams that are good at exchanging counter-attacks with opponents, and having room to fight back is the premise of Aubameyang's goal, while Barca is a traditional positional team with little room to fight back, doing little against Espanyol Aubameyang's substitute appearances, but only playing less than 10 minutes luc Llorente. De Jong equalised with a header in the last minute, the Dutch high striker was already Barca's second-largest scorer, in the last game against Napoli, Luc De Jong played 10 minutes, Barca had 3 chances, of which Luc De Jong had a backward hook shot that was a millimeter away from goal, and also gave a great opportunity for Felan Torres, it seems that Luc De Jong is more qualified to start than Aubameyang.
Although before visiting Valencia, Xavi pointed out that Aubameyang still lacked a run-in with the whole team, but the former Arsenal captain still started, in addition to the goal, more and more Spanish commentators saw that Aubameyang had something different, such as the first chance of Garvey in this game to get a half-knife, which was passed out by Aubameyang after pulling back from the forward position, and the first direct chance to face the goalkeeper for Felan in the last game against Napoli was also Aubameyang. Unlike the Spanish media's impression that this is a player who only uses speed to score counter-attack goals, Aubameyang has a very high ball quotient and knows how to play with his teammates, and Ferran Torres is far less natural to play a fake center than Aubameyang to play a center.
Of course, as a center forward, the most important criterion is his ability to score goals, the last game against Napoli, the opportunity to score was at the feet of Ferran Torres, and this game finally appeared at the feet of Aubameyang, his anti-offside single knife goal in the 23rd minute really reflects his shooting skills and the calmness of the shot, generally the most common way of playing this single knife is to play the far corner, because the goalkeeper pays more attention to the blockage of the near corner, but Aubameyang unexpectedly chooses to hit the angle of the upper corner of the near goalpost, which is easy to fly, It can be said that this goal that scored into the dead corner makes people see his shooting level at a glance. And in the 38th minute, although his goal was a seemingly simple goal in front of the goal to push the empty goal, but we also need to know that if it were not for Dest has been pushing the empty goal, Coman may still be the manager of Barca, Aubameyang pushed the brakes in front of the empty goal to slow down significantly, while the right foot broke the ankle angle is very large, touching the ball for a moment is very light, this series of professional actions to avoid the tragedy of feeding the cake to the greatest extent.
Aubameyang's first goal is also a great credit to Xavi, which is an obvious tactical play behind the opponent, because Memphis Depay has also scored in this way before, Barca traditionally play the ball to suppress the attack, but this does not mean that all the moments in the game can not play behind the opponent's defense, Valencia played in front of the field is not beaten behind, there is a striker like Aubameyang can make Valencia's high pressing tactics can not take care of the end.
In the past, because of the close style, Barca liked to introduce Arsenal players the most, especially the Arsenal captain, often spend a lot of money, and this time the introduction of Aubameyang, everyone seems to have forgotten this stem, forgetting that Aubameyang was Arsenal's captain before being stripped of the captain's armband by Arteta this season, which is very in line with Barca's tradition of reinforcements. Maybe it's because Aubameyang came to replace Morata who couldn't sign at the last minute, maybe it's because there was no big deal of trouble this time, the free always lacked sensational effect, and the charm of football is that you can't play the bidder who is over 100 million yuan, and the free signing is not necessarily worse than them.
Mei Kai doubled his hat trick, what do you think?
After the best match against Valencia, Aubameyang got a new surprise, that is, his second score turned into a hat-trick, because according to the referee's match report, Pedri's long-range goal was also counted to him. However, it was a controversial goal, and the controversy was not about whether the goal was reasonable, but about whose head it was to blame.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Ferran Torres's right rib breakthrough was blocked, after the ball popped up, Pedri inserted a furious shot, Aubameyang urgently dodged the long-range shot, the ball flew straight into the dead corner to score, maintaining the score difference to 3 goals, all the media including the broadcast TV station counted the goal on Pedri, although there was doubt at the time, the ball rubbed the door of Aubameyang's back, this should be considered Aubameyang's goal? Then Aubameyang completed his hat-trick. After the match, Barca confirmed to the media that, contrary to the media's opinion, the referee on duty did count this goal on Aubameyang, Who once again completed a hat-trick at Mestalla, the Gabonese striker scored 6 goals during 2 visits to Mestalla, and the last time was the 2019 Europa League semi-final for Arsenal. Aubameyang also praised the stadium after the game, "Mestalla is like my home, I have good luck every time I come here. ”
Barca captain Busquets also said when asked after the game who should count the goal: "This goal can also be counted as Aubameyang's, because there is a slight refraction, if Aubameyang did not touch, the goalkeeper may save the ball." ”
Maybe the referee and Busquets have their own reason, but in Spain responsible for awarding the Golden Boot "Marca" did not agree with the referee's match report, for the "Marca" author of the match review Fernando Carnereiro specially posted a text explaining why the ball "Marca" should be counted on Pedri, "the ball rubbed on Aubameyang's body very slightly, Aubameyang did not have the intention of subjectively touching the ball, the trajectory of the ball did not change, so the goal should be counted on the goal shooter Pedri, He was the one who had the intention to shoot. "Marca newspaper specifically made a statement, in addition to their La Liga Golden Boot awards agency, responsible for counting all the scorers in each season, but also because their website runs a Fantasy League game that is synchronized with the results of the weekly matches, and the details of the goalscorers affect the player's scores, so it must be explained.
Regarding the identification of the goalscorer, there have been frequent discrepancies in the media and referee reports in recent years. According to the referee's principle, it is very simple to determine the goal scorer, only considering whether it is the last person to touch the ball, whether the last person to touch the ball has the intention to shoot, and if he does not touch the ball, whether he will not be able to enter the goal is not considered. In recent years, there have often been places where the number of goals scored by players on the media and the club's official website has often appeared, such as the Marca newspaper has counted the goals scored by Ronaldo Ronaldo's free kick refracted on Pepe's body, and messi's free-kick shot on espanyol player Victor Sanchez as a oolong. One of the most famous controversial goalscorer incidents was Messi's shot, sanchez made a shot to touch the ball and celebrate the goal, and then told the referee at halftime that he had not touched the ball, asking for the goal to be counted on teammate Messi, although the referee followed Sanchez's advice in the report and counted the goal as Messi's goal, but most of the media still insisted on counting the goal on the Chilean striker.
Unlike the era when Messi and Cristiano Scored goals against Ronaldo, whether Aubameyang scored 2 or 3 goals, the Gabon forwards could not threaten the position of Benzema's top scorer who has scored 18 goals this season. The important thing is that the goal is a legitimate goal of Barca, there is no doubt about it, as to whether it should be counted as a goal that helped Aubameyang complete his hat-trick, or pedri's second goal in the league, everyone has their own standards, everyone is happy.
