73. Messi: I don't eat barbecue anymore
December 5th. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
7.45pm UK time.
9:45 a.m. Spanish time.
3:45 a.m. China time.
The sixth round of the 2012-13 Champions League group stage was played at the same time.
At this time, Chinese fans must be the most painful crowd.
With the Barcelona Dream III sweeping the continent, Barcelona quickly attracted a large number of followers in China, and their core player Leo Messi has become an absolute idol of hundreds of millions of fans.
However, Messi's limelight has been completely suppressed by their Chinese compatriots recently, which has made this group of fans faintly split.
In contrast, Manchester United, which already has a strong fan base in China, especially in the south, completely became the number one group in the winter of 2012.
In the early hours of the morning, I don't know how many people were waiting in front of the TV and computer, watching Manchester United games, and then switching to Barcelona games from time to time.
This is Messi's sixth game in two weeks, and he is approaching the halfway point of the season, and his fitness is not optimistic at the moment.
Messi suddenly missed Pep Guardiola, who just resigned half a year ago: if he was still at Barcelona, he would definitely stick to the diet plan made by the head coach at that time.
Control BBQ barbecue, control carbonated drinks, and stock up for more energy......
While Bilanova didn't let the locker room get out of hand, he was much less qualified than his predecessor and ...... His temper was much softer, and Messi gained more freedom under his men.
Despite the faint alarm of fitness, Messi still appeared in the starting lineup.
He had to show up, and this could be his best chance - the best chance to catch up with Qin Good.
Because he already knows Manchester United's starting line-up: the Chinese are on the bench.
That's right, Qin Goode is now sitting on the bench, with assistant coaches Muhrensteen and Mike Phelan next to him, and then head coach Alex Ferguson.
Ferguson continued to use the same second-team line-up today, and United, who have already secured top spot in the group, are indeed eligible to use this game as a training match for young players.
So, despite Cluj scoring a goal in less than half an hour, Ferguson didn't act too annoyed, he just stood up and shook his hand at the players on the pitch to let them know that they weren't too happy.
Players are not allowed to bring mobile phones into the stadium, even on the bench, so Qin Goodall has no way of knowing Messi's condition through modern communication tools - he never uses an antique like a radio......
So he didn't know that when Manchester United were 1-0 down, Barcelona were already 2-1 ahead of Benfica.
Goal ...... Messi, of course!
"Messi! Messi! Messi scored twice! He caught the Chinese record of 91 goals! ”
The announcer at the Camp Nou ripped off his own microphone, and the fans behind him went into complete frenzy.
The 100,000-strong stands became a sea of red and blue, and the waves roared in mid-air with the wind and clouds, and the waves splashed in all directions, which further aroused the hot blood of the audience.
"Messi! Messi! Messi! ”
Their voices seemed to want to break through the clouds, across the Channel, and into Manchester.
"Tom Cleverley! He pulled a goal back for United in the last second of the first half! 1-1! ”
Zhan Tianjun's emotions that had been held back for a full 45 minutes were slightly relieved at this moment, but then he raised it again: "Cleverley...... Looks like he's hurt? He fell heavily to the ground after the shot, probably twisting his ankle and had to limp off the pitch with the help of Anderson and Welbeck...... This is really the best portrayal of joy and sorrow......"
"Let him have a good rest, a goal, he has completed his character," Zhang Lu did not show sympathy at all, "Now let Qin Gude play." ”
"It seems so," Ferguson replied to Coach Zhang thousands of miles away in the locker room, his eyes fell on Qin Goode's body, but the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling, "I originally just wanted you to play in the last 20 minutes to find a feeling, but now it seems that I don't have so many substitutions, go out and warm up." ”
Qin Goode nodded, ready to take off his coat.
"Oh yes, Messi has already scored two goals." Ferguson added behind him.
Then he saw Qin Gude shrug his shoulders and run out of the locker room alone.
A player in a red jersey suddenly ran into the stadium, which was supposed to be empty, which immediately attracted Manchester United fans who were chatting with beer in the stands.
"It's number 7!" The sharp-eyed man cheered, "It's the God of China!" ”
"God!"
Qin Good, who heard the fans' cries, deliberately stopped, and he waved towards the main stand, which then caused a louder cheer.
So he simply stopped warming up, walked to the sidelines, and motioned for the caddie to throw a ball at him.
If it was away from home, the caddie wouldn't have been able to meet his demands, but this was Old Trafford and the caddie threw a ball to him with a star-studded eye.
Then he saw the red No. 7 pick up his right foot and hit the ball with no weight or lightness.
"Bang!"
The ball soared into the sky and then fell in an arc into the most densely populated area of the red crowd.
The previously silent Old Trafford stadium suddenly set off a wave of noise, and even the visiting team's dressing room, which was not very airtight, could be heard.
Cluj's head coach suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he had a bad premonition: the second half was going to be over.
And when he finished laying out the tactics for the players and walked out of the corridor, he saw Qin Goode who was practicing shooting on the field alone.
So he was cold all over his body.
'You know what to do,' said head coach Vilanova to his players in the dressing room at Camp Nou, "and I know some people will say that the team's victory is above all else, but what I would say is that at least in this game, everyone should support their team-mates unconditionally. ”
"Thanks, Coach." Messi gave the manager a grateful look before walking out with his teammates.
He hadn't noticed that Villanova had rubbed his cheek vigorously after saying this, as if there was some pain there.
As a once-in-a-century super genius, Messi has always been the pride of the sky, and he has hardly experienced what it's like to chase others.
He had chased Kaka before, but it was just an innocuous warm-up match when he first debuted.
He also once lost to Cristiano Ronaldo in the competition, but at that time he was not at the peak.
Oh, by the way, Ronaldo at that time was also wearing a bright red, and the number behind him was also No. 7.
Now he tasted the taste of chasing after others again, and it was not at all pleasant.
So he wants to overtake and then stay ahead, just like he has suppressed Qin Gude for Cristiano Ronaldo in the past four years.
He worked very hard to find another opportunity, and his team-mates did not hesitate to put almost all of their attacking opportunities at his feet in the hope of helping him to the next goal.
However, Benfica did not agree: their position in the group table is very delicate, a point can go to heaven, and if you lose it, you can go to hell, even at the Camp Nou, they will not easily surrender and turn the game into Messi's personal goal performance.
Therefore, their defense in the second half was more dense and the pressing was more ferocious, and even Messi could not easily pass in front of the Portuguese bus - not to mention, the passing intentions of the other Barcelona players could not be more obvious, so it was much easier to defend.
The bus didn't break, but the Camp Nou was silent in the 70th minute.
Benfica's midfielder Nemanja Matic (now Chelsea's) blocked Pique's too obvious through ball and then set up a counter-attack. Nolito (the one at Manchester City now) couldn't have been more simple in an offside position to cut through the slow-turning young master Pique and then pushed the ball into the dead corner of the net.
Messi, who had just accelerated and sprinted in vain but did not wait for the pass, stopped, he felt a slight discomfort in his ankle, and once he was stimulated, he felt sore.
Can't hold on anymore......
Helplessly, he raised his hands to the coach's bench on the sidelines, and his two index fingers intertwined a few times.
He felt that he was not losing to others, but to himself.
If I had been able to maintain a healthy and restrained diet for the past six months, I would have been much better......
I never eat barbecue again!
Vilanova was frowning and covering his mouth to think about something, and after watching Messi's request, he couldn't help but sigh.
The radio in the hands of the teaching assistant beside him made a faint sound:
"Manchester United 3-1, Qin Goode scored two goals in 20 minutes......"
His cheeks hurt even more.

Note: Villanova had a parotid gland tumor at this time, so he covered his face, and after half a year, it developed into a malignant tumor and cancer, and he died a year later, dying young. (To be continued.) )
