In the final round of the Champions League group stage, they played away against the bottom of the league and went out early, and they wanted to win and earn 2.8 million euros in winning prizes, but they lost; La Liga played Almeria, which has not tasted a win at the bottom of the season, and almost didn't win; and the friendly semi-main team played Mexico America, and lost 2:3.
The current Barcelona is like the Barcelona team before Rijkaard. Lewandowski, who is obviously past his prime, like Kluivert back then, has no stable output, and Felix, Ferran Torres, and Raphinha add up to one Saviola.
It is known that Rijkaard quickly led Barcelona into the era of the "Dream II Dynasty", but the cornerstone of the dynasty lies in the introduction of Ronaldinho in the summer of 2003. At that time, Ronaldo had already prepared to report to Old Trafford in two days, and he agreed to Ferguson's request, but a phone call from Russell asked him to immediately change his flight to Barcelona.
Will the 18-year-old Brazilian rising star, who reported to Camp Nou half a year early, be the next Ronaldo?
Roque plays as a center forward, and some people think of Ronaldo, who became famous at Barcelona back then.
In fact, whether it is Da Luo, Xiao Luo, or Xiao Luo, Roque can help Barcelona quickly start a new dynasty era if he reaches the level of any of the three.
At 4:30 a.m. on January 5, Beijing time, in the 19th round of La Liga, Barcelona played away against promoted Maras Palmas, and this game was also very difficult. Relying on the penalty scored by Gundogan in stoppage time, Barcelona won 2:1. Barcelona strikers Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Raphinha trident started, Felix and Yamal replaced Lewandowski and Raphinha in the 72nd minute, and Roque replaced Ferran Torres in the 79th minute to complete the debut of Barcelona's career.
In the space of ten minutes, Roque had 3 shots on goal and 1 on target, wasting 2 good chances, one of which must have been missed, and his post-match rating of 5.7 was the lowest in the team.
In terms of actual combat performance, Mo said that he was compared with Da Luo and Xiao Luo, and he was not as good as Jesus back then.
In January 2017, Jesus just came to the Premier League, Manchester City made his debut as a substitute and played less than 10 minutes, almost scored, and then started and scored in succession, just as Guardiola was ready to let him replace the position of Aguero, the main center forward who had gone downhill, but he was seriously injured without confrontation, and did not return until the end of the season, Manchester City Champions League 1/ Eliminated by Monaco in the quarterfinals for Mbappe, and lost to Antonio Conte's Chelsea in the Premier League title, Gabriel Jesus returned from injury and had to play as a substitute, with Sergio Aguero regaining his main position.
One ceiling may be Gabriel Jesus at most, a player who is unable to lead Barcelona to a revival or even help the team win the title. Just look at Arsenal, where Gabriel Jesus plays now.
After Neymar, Barcelona has been lacking in vision for recruitment. The total transfer fee paid by Barcelona for the introduction of Roque is as high as 61 million euros, which is too risky. Benfica's newly signed Brazilian star Marcos Leonardo has a transfer fee of only 18 million euros, and the 20-year-old striker has scored 13 goals in 31 appearances in the Brazilian Liga in 2023. Barcelona might as well win this, with Benfica's vision, maybe it will soon be sold for hundreds of millions of euros.
