Time finally came in 2003, half of the 20-day holiday passed in a blink of an eye, and the players of Inter Milan returned to the training ground one after another.

Among them is Xiao Xiaoluo.

When he saw Messi and Zheng Zhi training together on the training ground from afar, he was quite stunned.

You must know that no one has studied with Zheng Zhi as diligently as he has, not even Robben.

He was a little wary of Messi from the bottom of his heart.

If you are not afraid of the opponent's genius, you are afraid that the genius is as diligent as yourself.

From afar, he thought that Messi guy would definitely be a strong opponent in the future.

Counting each other's ages, he felt the pressure, because Messi was more than two years younger than himself......

In this age of stars, it is too difficult to get to the top of the pyramid.

The old guys haven't gone down to the top yet, and the guys who are younger than themselves are coming up again?!

"No, I'm going to have to work harder than before!"

Ronaldo swore as he approached them.

"It's the 171st!" Messi suddenly shouted on the training ground, excitedly waving his right fist. Although there are still 829 hits from 1,000, he is still happy because he is getting closer and closer to his goal.

Moreover, the data is getting better and better day by day, and it won't be long before he feels like he is about to break through the 1000 data.

Going to the first team was the only wish on his mind.

"It's too slow,"

"It's too slow,"

"At your speed, will you not be able to catch up with the registration?"

Zheng Zhi hit Messi. The deadline for league registration is on February 1, nearly a month, in fact, Messi can still complete it, but Zheng Zhi just wants to stimulate him.

In fact, after Mourinho Chong returned yesterday, Zheng Zhi took the initiative to talk to him about Messi. He believes that Messi can be promoted to the first team and become a member of the first team.

Coupled with the report provided to Mourinho by the previous youth team coach, Messi will basically be promoted.

During this time, it was just that Zheng Zhi was deliberately training Messi......

During this winter break, Inter Milan has not made any big moves in the transfer market, and so far, they have only brought in the three heroes of La Masia from Barcelona.

※※※※

Since the 5th, Zheng Zhi has found that the earliest person who came to the training ground was no longer himself, but Xiao Xiaoluo.

The second one who came to the training ground, couldn't help but joke with Xiao Xiaoluo:

"Hey, Cristiano,"

"Didn't you come home last night?"

Xiao Luo stopped while jogging.

"Ah,"

"How is that possible?"

"I just came a little early, I arrived at six o'clock."

Xiao Xiaoluo scratched his head, a little embarrassed, after all, he deliberately came earlier than Zheng Zhi.

"So, you have to take the first place every day, right?"

"Very good."

In the distance, Messi stood in surprise.

It's really a dog, why is it still late?!

On the first day, he came to the training ground at 7:50 and saw Xiao Xiaoluo and Zheng Zhi.

The next day, I came to the training ground at half past seven, and I still saw them.

On the third day, he arrived at seven o'clock, and he still saw them training.

On the fourth day, he arrived at about 6:40, but ......

Whew~ Are they human???

He thought he was hard working enough, but at Inter Milan, he was only a third!

He walked to the training ground of the Inter Milan youth team with some discouragement, and his mind was thinking about how he could break through Zheng Zhi more efficiently.

I really want to stay here in the first team......

However, there is still a long way to go.

dragging the lonely figure, Messi gradually moved away......

At eight o'clock, the youth team has also been assembled.

Youth coach Giuseppe Baresi named Messi. This Baresi is not the Baresi of AC Milan, he is the elder brother, that is the younger brother.

He is a legend of Inter Milan, who have won two league titles (1979-80, 1988-89) from the late 70s to the present.

Although not as successful as his younger brother, he played for the Nerazzurri almost as a regular until the early 90s when he made his debut for Inter Milan in 1977, wearing the Inter captain's armband and shaking hands with his brother in the centre of the San Siro in the Milan derby to exchange flags.

Giuseppe. Baresi is now the youth coach of Inter Milan, where he won the Italian junior championship in 1997 and 1998 and the youth championship in 2002.

This year, he also wants to lead the team to win the 2003 championship. Originally, Messi's arrival made him overjoyed, but he has now changed his mind.

Let a genius like Messi stay in the youth team to win the championship? It's a terrible thing.

So he wrote a report to Mourinho, recommending Messi to be promoted directly to the first team to play.

"Leo Messi,"

"You don't belong to Inter's youth team anymore."

At this point, he froze and didn't continue.

？？？

"What do you mean?" Cesc Fabregas and Pique in the team were immediately startled, not understanding why the manager would suddenly say that!

Messi was expelled? Or was it returned?!

Impossible! Messi is so well-behaved and works so hard!

Messi also stood in place, not knowing what the coach meant.

Baresi's dry humor frightened the children, and then he grinned: "You go and report to Mourinho immediately now." ”

Wow~

The team was in an uproar.

I finally got it.

Specially,

Messi has been promoted to the first team?!

How long has this been with the youth team?

Pique and Cesc Fabregas looked at each other, both seeing the shock of each other, what the hell happened this holiday? They came from Barcelona with Messi, all training, almost inseparable, and now Messi is suddenly in the first team!

All of a sudden, it feels like the future is different......

For a moment, Messi's mouth was wide open, and he really couldn't believe it.

said that he would go after Zheng Zhi a thousand times.

Went ahead of schedule now?

He didn't know that he had already been examined......

In the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, Messi temporarily waved goodbye to his teammates and walked to the training ground of the first team.

The first-team players were surprised to see Messi's arrival.

"Where did this kid come from?"

"Oh my God, who put it in?"

"Is the security guard asleep?"

Materazzi feels that Messi is a small fan......

"Hey, little one, you can't come here, get out of here."

"If you want to sign an autograph, wait at the door."

Materazzi shook his hand.

As a result, Zheng Zhi walked over.

"Marko, he's not a fan, he's a new teammate."

"Leo Messi." Zheng Zhi put his arm around Messi's shoulders and introduced to everyone.

"Don't be fooled by his size, he's a demon who can destroy any of you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zheng Zhi gave Messi a very high evaluation.

Xiao Luo and Robben not far away both knew Messi, and the two also glanced at each other.

Naturally, I was shocked.

I didn't expect Messi to come to the first team so soon.

"If he comes, isn't our position a little dangerous? This guy seems to play right winger. ”

"That's your place." Robben muttered.

"Is there a difference between a left and right winger? Don't forget, I can also play as a left winger. Xiao Xiao Luo rolled his eyes.

"This ......" Robben was choked, Xiao Xiao Luo can indeed play in two positions, so to speak, Messi's arrival also threatens his position.

"Yo, is he that good?"

"When I'm training for a while, I'll make him cry and look for his mother." Materazzi didn't believe that this little bit in front of him could torture and kill him.

"That's it? I'm so worried I'm going to break him straight away. Gresco also looked at Messi sympathetically.

"As soon as he stretches his legs, he may have to roll six meters away!" Stamm grinned.

But Zanetti also came over and hugged Messi and said:

"Don't be careless."

"Leo is our Argentinian prodigy, he's an absolute genius. After seeing him play, you wouldn't be talking like you are now. ”

……

Soon, Mourinho also came to the training ground, and then once again introduced the shy Messi to everyone.

From this day on, Messi officially became a member of Inter Milan's first team.

In the afternoon, Messi was given the opportunity to perform, and he was placed on the substitute side to play against the main team.

Messi's position is right winger.

However, at first, his teammates did not trust him and did not pass the ball to him, and he was like a lonely grass on the right.

A lot of the time, he's constantly running back and being involved in the team's defense.

The main force is much stronger, and Messi has no chance to perform.

The first ball to be passed to him was Frenchman Farinos, who was said to be leaving Inter Milan and just inadvertently knocked the ball to him.

But Messi suddenly went crazy.

After taking the ball, he suddenly started, immediately dribbled past Cambiasso and Robben, then cut inside the penalty area with the ball, then changed to the outside, got off Gresco, and knocked the ball to Tony in an inverted triangle near the baseline, and Toni scored easily.

"Huh?"

"This guy ......"

"Fierce."

"Aha,"

"What the hell are you doing?"

Buffon, who conceded the goal, laughed at his teammates.

"He makes you look like stakes."

Gresco froze, Robben's face flushed, and Cambiaso looked at his future national team teammate in surprise.

Like a ghost.

Completely unaware of what he was going to do, and then he passed?

……

Stam and Materach pulled out the cold behind their backs, but fortunately it wasn't them who humiliated, if they were to take it to the middle again, would they be able to stop it just now?

Undoubtedly, Messi's performance was shocking and successful.

Just such an assist made everyone feel his presence strongly.

On the pitchside, Mourinho touched his chin and was happy.

"If you put him on the side of the main force, what position is appropriate?"

"Alas, the location coincides."

Jose Mourinho spoke to the assistant coach.

"It's a bit of a headache."

"You're too small, why don't you put him in the center position?" The teaching assistant said.

"Nope." Mourinho shook his head.

"He has to be on the wing."

"The wing is more suitable for his play."

"Can you consider the position of the forward midfielder in the middle?" The teaching assistant added, "Can we go back to 4231?" Arjen Robben on the left, Messi in the middle, Ronaldo on the right, Adriano in front, tsk...... This storm of youth! ”

Hiss~

Mourinho immediately gasped.

That's a good idea. In the front of the waist, maybe this little guy can do it?

"I don't know if it works." Jose Mourinho seems to be a little tempted.

Anyway, 433 and 4231 are about the same......

"Or, let him be a substitute for the time being......"

However, at half-time, Mourinho still carried Messi to the side of the main team and threw him a yellow vest.

And then it really changed formations.

He was also curious and looking forward to it. Suddenly there is such a terrible little demon, can you not try it?

"This guy, so fast?!"

Xiao Xiao Luo was surprised.

"It's okay, it's okay not to be on the side anyway."

He muttered quietly.

Messi himself is!

Front waist?

He didn't kick ......

But, isn't it okay to play like Maradona?

Messi immediately found the template......

However, after the start of the game, the effect was not good.

Messi is too sticky to the ball.

Once the ball is at his feet, he tends to get used to dribbling rather than passing.

After Robben and Ronaldo opened up on both flanks, Messi didn't get the ball over in time.

And Zheng Zhi also deliberately tested Messi and kept stuffing the ball at Messi's feet.

Messi, who is young, is not yet at the level where he can play as a striker.

Everyone basically watched him burst through the middle, and the rest, there really weren't any bright spots.

"Perhaps, I'm still in too much of a hurry, and even Dalma can't play well in the position of the front midfield."

"Young man, let's develop slowly, the right winger is still more suitable for him."

"He still has a lot to learn."

After half-time testing, Mourinho dismissed the idea of letting Messi play in the middle.

Inter Milan is a division of champions, not for newcomers to train, there is no time for them to exercise, it would be good to be a substitute.

"What the hell is kicking?"

"That guy doesn't know how to pass the ball at all, so he knows how to keep his head down and dribble."

Xiao Xiao Luo also complained about Messi.

"Too bad, if this guy starts, I don't think the game will be able to play at all."

"Yes, I almost ran to the bottom line, and he didn't even pass the ball, so he knew to be buried in the ball." Robben was not satisfied.

"Argentines are like that, they think they're all masters of dribbling." Adriano also had a mocking look on his face.

"The Brazilians are all laughing and not talking, what the hell is playing. As if one person was missing, "Brazilians and Argentines are naturally hostile in football.

Adriano was also angry just now, and he just touched two shots in the second half, or Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben passed it to him, and Messi, as a forward midfielder, didn't pass the ball with a single kick.

His teammates must be upset with him......

Of course, they may have forgotten that Messi is only a 16-year-old child, and it is already awesome to be able to stand here.
