Chapter 300: There is no need to take risks
Playing football is like love, you need to feel it, and when you play, you always feel at ease. If you feel awkward, you will be sluggish, and you will not be able to burst out of inspiration and passion.
The Argentine national team is never short of talent or even genius, and now Aguero, Higuain, Di Maria, Da Milito, Tevez, Mascherano, Veron, Cambiasso, etc., these midfielders are all world-famous players, no worse than anyone else in the same position, but Messi is very tired to play with them.
It feels like something that can't be explained, maybe it's just that the pass is 0.1 seconds late, maybe it's something that can't be measured by data at all, but it's gone.
Zhuo Yang is the first team-mate to play with Messi himself, and he is the first person in today's football, he has experienced different styles of football and quickly transitioned to the tactics of Barcelona's goalscoring team. Zhuo Yang's analysis is naturally the most reasonable, because only when he perceives and experiences this feeling will he be so perfectly integrated.
"Zhuo Yang, I think...... You're right, very accurate. β
After affirming Zhuo Yang's analysis, Father Mei fell into even greater confusion, because there was no way to change this phenomenon.
Barcelona can select players from all over the world who suit the team's style of play, and if they don't work out, they can continue to do so, and La Masia is constantly providing such new blood. But the choice of the Argentine national team is much narrower, and nationality is a threshold.
No one can say whether there will be a 'little technical sense' international among the Argentine players, and the easiest way is to see if anyone can successfully play for Barcelona in the next decade.
Zhuo Yang wanted to say that in fact, the Spanish national team is more suitable for Messi, but he can't say it, because it's nonsense to say it, just like others told him that Germany is more suitable for him than China.
Dad Mei cares about Messi more than anyone else, and hopes that Messi can become the king of the ball after Maradona, or even surpass Maradona. But the Argentine national team is a hurdle for Messi, and he has to step over it before he can say anything else.
Dad Mei didn't continue to consult Zhuo Yang if he had any suggestions for a solution, because it was very unrealistic, and because this was not his purpose today. More because Barcelona is another hurdle for Messi, Messi also has to step over.
"Zhuo Yang, thank you for your analysis, and thank you even more for taking care of Leo in the past two years."
"Uncle Mei, it's serious. Leo and I are friends and he is like my little brother. β
'You've helped him a lot, both on and off the pitch. Daddy Mei didn't blink. "Leo is happier than he used to be, has more friends and has significantly fewer hurtful defences in the game. Zhuo Yang, uncle thank you very much. β
"Uncle Mei, don't say that."
"Leo is really lucky to have met Ronnie first and then you, and having your care is very important to him."
Zhuo Yang was a little embarrassed. "Uncle Mei, this is what friends should do, which also shows that Leo has a good character and deserves so many friends to like him."
"Uncle Mei, not only Leo, but also those of us juniors like you very much. I've been in Barcelona for almost two years, and I don't know how many barbecues I've eaten from you, but I've saved a lot of money on food. β
"Hahaha......" Mei's father laughed loudly: "You are alone, no matter how successful you are, you are still a child in my eyes, and I should care about you." β
"So, Uncle Mei, I should care about Leo."
"Hahaha......" Daddy Mei laughed again. After the laughter died down, he looked up at the ceiling again, and was silent for a long time.
Because of the angle, Zhuo Yang couldn't see the expression on Daddy Mei's face at this time, and could only see that he was blinking his eyes. It is said that people only blink when they lie or when many thoughts pass by.
"Zhuo Yang, have a drink of some more bars, and accompany my uncle to drink."
"Okay."
Without the black star from last time, Daddy Mei asked the waiter to bring a sherry. Sherry is a fortified wine from southwestern Spain with a long history, with the great writer William Shakespeare and the navigator Christopher Columbus having a preference for it, and people likened it to 'the Spanish sunshine in a bottle'.
The pale yellow liquid slid into the wine glass, and a faint musk flowed silently into the air of the room, slowly sniffing, as if it really smelled of sunshine.
The sunshine in Spain is the brightest Zhuo Yang has ever seen.
"Zhuo Yang, what heights do you think Leo will reach in the future?" Half a cup into the throat, lips and teeth fragrant, Daddy Mei proposed a new topic.
"Unique." Zhuo Yang replied quickly.
"Yes, unique...... "Daddy Mei sighed: "Everyone is unique, especially in the eyes of parents, their children are always unique." β
Dad Mei said: "Can you judge in detail, with your knowledge, who will Leo look like most in football in the future?" Ronaldinho? Ronaldo? Or Maradona? β
"Leo will definitely surpass them." Zhuo Yang replied more quickly.
"But......" Father Mei, whose chin was on his fist, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Yang, and stopped talking.
Zhuo Yang doesn't know what height Messi will reach in the future, he is not a god who can predict the unknown, but if the 24-year-old Messi does not have a major accident, such as a major injury or something, he will always stand in the ranks of the top players in football for at least six years, just like himself.
After half a cup of tea, Dad Mei said again: "Ronaldo and them, as well as Zidane, including you and Zhuo Yang, have all gone through many different teams, and Leo has only one Barcelona." β
Dad Mei said, "Zhuo Yang, do you know? Leo and I seriously considered getting out of Barcelona not long ago, but in the end, because of the style you said, we didn't dare to really take this step. β
"No!" Zhuo Yang said: "Absolutely not, Uncle Mei, this is very risky, and it is completely unnecessary. Barcelona can meet all the requirements of Athletic Leo and financially, and you and Leo don't have to take that risk. β
Zhuo Yang's eagerness shows that he is not optimistic about Messi's success outside of Barcelona at all.
"But ......"
"It's nothing, there are a lot of superstars who have played in a team from the beginning, Baresi, Maldini, Bergomi, they have only played for one team, but they have a status in football as much as anyone else."
"Daddy May, BarΓ§a's football is the best fit for Leo, and it is impossible to find a team that can give him more ability. Daddy Mei, in this matter, you must be cautious. As far as I know, you have decided all the major turns in Leo's career, and it turns out that you made the right decision. But when it comes to leaving Barcelona, don't be careless. β
Dad Mei was silent again, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, forgetting to greet Zhuo Yang, even pouring it full and drinking it all again, and still forgetting to say Cheers to Zhuo Yang!
After drinking the third cup, Dad Mei seemed to have made up his mind, his rickety waist raised his head, and he just looked at Zhuo Yang from the bottom up.
"Zhuo Yang, uncle wants to ask you for something."
