"Crazy?"

"Three madmen."

At FC Barcelona, Van Gaal sat in his office and watched the game between Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg, and was dumbfounded by Zheng Zhi, Ronaldinho and Ballack.

I watched both games, and both games shocked him.

How can this be prevented?

Barcelona's defense may really not be able to defend.

But why should I keep it?

Van Gaal actually had the answer for a long time. His team is already attacking and defending, and it is impossible to sit back and wait for the defense to die, and it is impossible to be intimidated by the wonderful play of the Bayer Leverkusen players.

It's not about defense, it's about attacking. Whoever scores more goals from both teams will advance to the semi-finals.

But he won't be able to get a starting line-up for tomorrow's game.

Especially the position of the waist, he was a little undecided.

Pep Guardiola has just returned from injury, but his form is doubtful. Let him play as a starter or as a substitute? Is Harvey really trustworthy?

The young Xavi was picked up by Louis van Gaal, but he still didn't dare to start Xavi in such an important game.

But Harvey is in really good shape......

Worry about.

Louis van Gaal is frustrated, one is the team's midfield commander over the years, and the other is that he wants to build a future commander, but now he is undecided.

"Let's take a look......"

He walked out of the office and headed out onto the training ground.

In front of them, many young players from the youth echelon were chatting in groups.

"Can Xavi start?"

"I think it's good to have him replace Pep Guardiola."

"Pep Guardiola's form this year is not good, and he has just returned from injury, so it's not necessarily a good thing for him to play."

"Zheng Zhi is already the core of Bayer Leverkusen at the age of 20, Xavi is also 20 years old, why can't he become the core?"

"Xavi should be given a chance."

It was Barcelona's Valdés and C's Andres Iniesta who were talking about Xavi, as well as a few other young players who didn't know that Louis van Gaal was right behind them, and their ears were always up.

'I think I should be given a chance, and if I'm on the pitch, I'm not going to be worse than the Brazilian Ronaldinho.'

"You?"

"Andres, can you outrun others with your two little short legs? When Barack's size hits you, your bones fall apart. Valdés gave Iniesta a disdainful look.

"You eat more meat, grow a little bigger,"

"Do you really think the first team is that good to play? The confrontation is not a level at all! ”

"We seem to be very good in the youth team, but when it comes to the professional game, we are now the fighting chickens of the rookies."

"But I don't believe it."

"How much better is Ribery, that Frenchman from Bayer Leverkusen, bigger than me? Everyone is about to become a regular main force, isn't it also playing well? ”

"This ......"

"Sounds reasonable, that guy's body is really inferior to yours. And technically, it's not as good as you. The Bundesliga might be easier to get to the top, right? You know, we're playing for Barcelona and we're more likely to be sold or loaned out. It's not something Leverkusen can compare. ”

Iniesta touched his little chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "It seems that I am better than that guy." ”

"If I had been at Bayer Leverkusen, I would have been able to play as a regular player."

"Hey, little one, did you bring a soda today?" In the blink of an eye, I saw a tall and thin man not far away, and immediately stopped him.

The tall and thin man had been grabbing the ball with his head down, and he didn't seem to hear Iniesta's shouts. And the object of his stealing of the ball is Leo Messi, who came to Barcelona from Argentina not long ago. No matter how hard Pique tried his best, Pique couldn't break the ball from Messi's feet.

"Andres, you're so bold,"

"How dare you ask him to bring you soda?"

"What's wrong?" Iniesta disagreed.

"This guy's name is Gerard Peake,"

"That's right."

His father was a well-known local lawyer, his mother was an executive at a hospital in Barcelona, and his maternal grandfather was Barça's vice-president in charge of finance.

Valdés gave Iniestap a family background to Gerard Pique.

"This ......"

"Is it the current vice chairman of the treasury?"

"Yes, almost 20 years."

"So, if you're going to bully him, you're ready to leave Barcelona, right? The background of the people is too strong. ”

"Uh...... Well, I'm never going to bully him anymore, I don't want to leave Barcelona. Iniesta quickly shrunk his neck, knowing that he was almost in big trouble.

Who said Iniesta was a good boy? When I was a child, I was also a little clever.

"But this guy named Messi is really strong."

"Andrea, he's better than you."

Valdés' eyes fell on Messi, comparing Messi to Iniesta.

"But,"

"He's even worse than me,"

"He's more likely to be knocked off than I am."

"But Pique is tall, right? You see, he doesn't have a physical advantage at all, but he looks very clumsy. The ball was like sticking to Messi's feet. It's scary, I've never seen a player like that. ”

"I can do it too." Iniesta is still unconvinced.

At this time, Van Gaal was also attracted to Messi.

Of course he knows Messi, but he has never seen Messi play, a 13-year-old kid, if he wants to be noticed by the Barcelona first team, it will be at least four or five years later! Although the club's hierarchy is still thinking about Messi's transfer, this is not what Van Gaal cares about.

But he is now touched.

"Why don't I give young people a chance now?"

"In 95, didn't I also take a group of children to fight the world and then win the Champions League?"

"The young people in Barcelona are amazing now, too."

"They're also something to look forward to."

He muttered to himself.

Half of the Ajax youth army was in the Barcelona team, and he was used to relying on these disciples to fight for him.

"Maybe I should really start Xavi."

"You have to give him a chance, don't you?"

A slight smile smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he quietly left behind them. The decision that I had been worried about all mornings was now made with ease......

……

Half an hour later, Louis van Gaal announced his starting line-up for tomorrow in front of the first-team players.

"Harvey,"

He muttered Harvey's name.

I?

Xavi's thick eyebrows instantly raised, I really didn't expect that Van Gaal would give him a start in such an important game!

Although he has had a lot of starts this season, they have been very average games, important games, and he has never been a starter.

But now, Pep Guardiola is back from injury?

I'm starting!

Harvey's heart was quite excited......
