Chapter 91: Reunion at Camp Nou

Redondo thought about it too, or the game in front of him was the most important.

In the evening, when the break was over and the players who had already prepared themselves were gathered, Juan looked at the people in front of him and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you ready?"

"That's it!!" The voice of the person who answered was not very loud, it sounded a little weak, and the little coach Raco raised his eyebrows, and found that most of the players still had three words of disconfidence written on their faces.

Whether it was Gago or Lux, they were both a little restless, and Juan looked at the way they both looked and sighed a little helplessly.

"Gago, Lux, you two sue me, what do you usually look like when you two meet?"

Gagos and Lux were stunned and looked at each other.

The two of them used to play clubs, one was River Plate and the other was Boca Juniors, and once they ran into it, it was really a thunderstorm, and fights were commonplace......

"The hottest game in Barcelona is the national derby against Real Madrid, and I have also participated in the national derby, so I can tell you very responsibly that the national derby in Spain is not as brutal as yours, so don't worry."

Seeing that they were still related, the little coach finally couldn't help but rub his forehead: "And ...... We're not Real Madrid either, are we? We are A Coruña, so what is there to be afraid of? Whether it's Boca Juniors or River Plate, the atmosphere is quite normal when they don't run into each other, right? ”

Fortunately, this trip he brought almost all the players who had experience in the competition, and there were only one or two who needed to do psychological mobilization, otherwise it would be very fatal to do them one by one.

The players' buses gradually drove towards the Camp Nou, and they were a little surprised by the large number of fans who came to greet them, but when they looked back at Romario and Redondo, who looked calm and accustomed to it, everyone probably understood.

There's one or two superstars in the team, it's just different.

Juan didn't have any special reaction to this, no matter how many fans there were, they couldn't help them play, right?

As the players got out of the car, someone broke through the blockade and ran towards them, Juan didn't even look at it, knowing that it was either Redondo or Romario, and he was caught defenseless???ly.

Juan looked down at the little girl who was holding him in a daze, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Girl, are you hugging the wrong person?" Romario hadn't gotten out of the car yet, and Redondo was in front. Or did this girl pick one to hug when she saw that they couldn't get out of the car and couldn't hug them?

"No, no!" When the girl spoke, her face was full of excitement, and her eyes were shining, "I am the one who hugged you!" Juan, I'm your fan, when are you going to play again? ”

Juan couldn't help but laugh: "Ma'am, I'm retired, but I'm still grateful that you like me......"

Romario, who had just gotten out of the car, couldn't help but burst into laughter, what is going on, the coach's fans? I don't know why I have an inexplicable sense of joy......

When security was about to come up and take her away, she struggled and shouted, "Juan, sign me Juan!" ”

Juan was just about to say yes, but his eyes narrowed.

The girl was wearing a ...... Real Madrid jerseys?

Juan smiled at her, waved his hand very casually, and then turned around to leave, the girl was anxious: "Juan, this is the jersey you wore when you were in Real Madrid, you gave him to me at that time, and now I wear him to see you, have you forgotten?!" ”

Juan naturally knows what the girl means, but this is the Camp Nou, and the team he leads is Deportivo La Coruna, and if he really signs this shirt, the media will not know how to make a fuss about it later.

"Juan!!" In the struggle, the girl was about to be pulled aside, Juan looked down at his hands, and finally reluctantly stepped forward and patted the security officer on the shoulder, and then said to the little girl: "You are still waiting for me here after the game, if someone asks, you will say that I let you." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded violently, and happily followed the others away, while Juan looked down at the time and walked briskly into the room.

When he got to the locker room, the players were getting ready to change their clothes, Juan looked left and right, and coughed lightly: "I'll tell you about today's starting lineup." ”

Most of them stopped what they were doing to look at him, but Juan took the tactics board from Assistant Coach Allen's hand and flipped through the two pages, and read aloud: "Today's starting list ......"

"Diego López; Juan Sorín, Andrade, Capdevilla; Redondo, Bellerón, Fernando Gago, Juan Riquelme, Pablo Aimar; Portillo ...... Lionel Messi. ”

As soon as this list came out, everyone was stunned and incredulous, especially Gago, today's midfielder Juan brought Riquelme, Aimar, Redondo, Belleron, David Silva, and him, originally he thought that this was not a chance to play on his own, who knew that he was still a starter?

"Coach, I, I'm afraid I can't do it......" Gago thought that this sentence came out of his own mouth, but as everyone looked at it, he found that the person who said it was Messi.

In this list, only Gago and Messi have not directly experienced the terrible away atmosphere at Camp Nou - one is from the La Liga, and the other has been at home for most of the round, and they really haven't felt it much.

And the person who said this was Leo Messi, the child has always been very silent, and everyone is used to his not speaking, but today he can say it directly, Juan is not only surprised, but more relieved.

Against the former parent team, it is basically difficult to get a hand, especially the youth academy that has just left, unless it is like Eto'o who has already hated the parent team and defected directly.

But like Messi, most of them still have a little nostalgia.

"Don't be afraid, just think it's a reunion with old friends." Juan patted him on the head, "Last season, I met Real Madrid at Manchester United, and then you all know what's going on. ”

…… You have been unequivocal about sending Real Madrid out of the tournament with two goals home and away, and they all know it.

For a while, everyone looked at Juan badly, but it was clear that the little coach Laco didn't notice these glances at all, but continued: "At that time I was just happy because I could play with my friends on the field again, and I was especially good friends before. ”

"Isn't this really going to be beaten by your former friends?" Messi is a little worried, he really has a lot of very good friends in Barcelona, and if he really wants to be beaten, he will be very sad.

"Of course not, look at me, Raul Gutiigor is still in constant contact with him, and Javier I even deceived me directly!"

Portillo, who was deceived by Juan's threats, raised his hand helplessly under everyone's gaze: "Yes, that unlucky guy named Javier is me." ”

"So, no matter what, you have to behave well. Remember what I said earlier? Juan coughed lightly: "You have to show all your strength, which is the greatest respect for your friends." ”

Messi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, you guys clean up." Juan looked at the time, nodded at the assistant coach Allen, and the two of them withdrew together, Juan went to greet the referee on the field, and the assistant coach turned to take care of the team's affairs, and he also had to communicate with the logistics so that nothing went wrong on the field!

Juan couldn't help but squint his eyes as he came out of the players' tunnel.

There were almost two worlds inside and out, and when he was in the players' tunnel, the sound was far away, but once he stood up, all the sounds came from all directions into the ear drums, and he stepped on the turf under his feet and exhaled softly.

Speaking of which, the last time he came to Camp Nou was almost two or three years ago.

The grass and atmosphere were eerily similar to those at the Bernabeu, but they were completely different, and the Barcelona fans were already singing, and Juan searched carefully before finally finding the poor Deportivo fan stand in a small area.

There were 90,000 people in the stadium, and Deportivo La Coruna was followed by only a few thousand on the road, which was even more like a drop in the ocean.

However, blue and white are still very conspicuous in a field of red and blue.

He smiled, and then began to look for the referee, today's referee is the Danish Kranmente, a very famous home lucky star, with him in the game usually the home team will win, and the assistant referee and the additional assistant referee (linesmen) are not as evil as the referee, the real evil person is the fourth official.

- Jesus, a Spaniard, has played most of the games with him in away wins.

Obviously, UEFA was also really curious about who these two people were more powerful, so they placed them together, and Juan shook hands with the two very sincerely.

"I sincerely hope that your magic is greater." Juan said to Jesus, and the fourth official, Jesus, nodded with a wry smile from Cranment.

"Welcome to Camp Nou!!" The on-site commentary was obviously very accustomed to such a home atmosphere, Juan watched the situation on the field for a while, and returned to his away coach's box, at this time, the big screen was showing the players in the players' tunnel.

Bellerón has a good relationship with everyone in the national team, so he can still say hello, Romario used to be from Barcelona, when he was playing in the first team, he also saw a few of them in La Masia, and now they are all so big, so the Brazilian lone wolf's emotional eyes are more and more weird, which makes the hearts of this player hairy.

And Redondo is really weird, basically the players on the side of the Barcelona players are a little eager to look at him, but no one is embarrassed to greet him, so Redondo has a subtle cold field around him......

However, Albertini still came to exchange politely, the two of them are typical midfielders of the same era, Italy's him, Argentina's Redondo, Spain's Pep Guardiola, Portugal's Paulo Sousa are called the "four talents" at the same time......

I don't know if this title is a curse, Paulo Sousa retired with a major injury in 02, Redondo almost retired from a major injury in 00 and recuperated directly for two years, Guardiola has been wandering in an unknown league since leaving Barcelona, and he was directly exiled from the Apennine Peninsula by his original rival.

As soon as he thought of this, he was even more emotional.

Messi hid in the middle of Romario and Redondo, he was really afraid to say hello to his former big brothers, always felt a little scared, and a little shy, embarrassed, Romario had noticed that the junior next door called the "football elf" kept looking in his direction, at first he thought it was a provocation, but he looked carefully and found that this person's eyes were mainly focused on his back.

As soon as Romario turned around, he saw the child's hairy head, and he immediately knew what was going on, so he fished him out directly, and waved at the person opposite.

Ronaldinho walked over at a slow pace that didn't match him on the pitch, stretched out his hand and said hello: "Hello, senior." ”

Romario's eyes are very "friendly", this kid called him Sousa very happy when he was in the 98 World Cup, and now in Real Madrid, the Brazilian team is a typical team without any up and down, and now he is called so by his juniors, Romario's first feeling is actually terrifying.

“…… I'm so sick of you all of a sudden. Romario muttered,

Ronaldinho nodded, subconsciously touched his head, and then grinned: "Hello, Leonel, long time no see." ”

Messi replied in a low voice, it didn't look very high, and Redondo, who was standing behind, looked at it with a frown.

This kid seems to be very depressed now, is it really okay to play with such a feeling?

But obviously, his worries are a bit superfluous, Ronaldinho began to tease Messi to speak, it is estimated that they used to get along like this, at the beginning the Argentine youngster was silent, amused him to take a deep breath and look up: "Ronnie!" ”

"What?" Ronaldinho was still looking at him happily, his eyes full of worry. The Brazilian has already tasted what it is like to transfer, and he has no so-called loyalty at all, but the Argentine partner in front of him is different, he almost grew up in Barcelona, and he must have hated it when he was dumped by Barcelona like this......

It's okay to hate a team, but you can't affect your game because of it, hatred is enough to ruin a person.

Leo Messi understood the worry in his eyes, and he also knew that his Brazilian friends didn't really have any sense of belonging to the club, he was just worried about himself: "Ronnie, I'll show myself well during the game, you look at me!" ”

Xiao Luo blinked his eyes and nodded happily: "A word is a certainty!" ”

Looking at the scene of brotherhood and friendship between the two people, and looking at the cold reaction of Barcelona to Messi, Redondo didn't know what to say at this moment.

Juan had no idea what was going on in the tunnel, so he tested the grass and then sat back in the dugout and waited for the game to begin.

The players walked out of the tunnel and Juan subconsciously looked at Barcelona's player set-up.

Sure enough, there was not much of a gap between Valdés, Puyol, Motta, Belletti, Xavi, Ronaldinho, Van Bommel, Deco, Albertini, Iniesta, Eto'o, and it was clear that they were still going to have a hearty 4-3-3 in this game.

Their coach Rijkaard stood on the edge of the pitch with a cold face, when the two coaches shook hands before the game, this person showed a very casual look, there was no disgust or contempt in his eyes, but completely indifferent -

This is the biggest denial of a person.

Juan looked at Barcelona's home coach again and smiled quietly.
