'His brilliant dribbling pace, subtle passing footwork and elusive line of play have all made it difficult for Roma's defenders to resist, and De Rossi said after the game that Yang Yang was the most formidable opponent he has ever faced......

……

In Milanello, Italy, Kaka holds the morning newspaper and reads the report carefully.

All day today, almost all the media reported on Liverpool's eight-goal home win over Roma last night, and Yang Yang also became the cover character of major newspapers with one goal and five assists.

Even UEFA's official website dedicates a report to introduce Yang Yang, which shows that UEFA attaches great importance to him.

There is always a certain exaggeration in the media coverage, and there is always a tendency to compare other players to other players.

For example, after interviewing De Rossi, they wanted to compare Kaka, but it obviously has nothing to do with Kaka.

It was Roma who lost to Liverpool, not AC Milan.

But Kaka has long been accustomed to this kind of behavior of the media, and he just laughed at it and ignored it.

……

AC Milan have not played very well this season.

Finally, he made a thrilling journey to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, only to be forced to draw 2-2 by Bayern Munich at his home stadium.

Home and away is a relatively unfavourable schedule in itself, and the result is a 2-2 draw at their home stadium, which is tantamount to pushing AC Milan into a dead end, forcing the team to win away from home to advance.

Kaka scored a goal and did well.

But overnight, all the limelight was stolen by Yang Yang.

Since AC Milan was played a day earlier than Liverpool, Kaka watched the game where Liverpool played Roma, and Yang Yang's performance was indeed quite good, which made Kaka very admired, especially since he is obviously in the best condition at the moment.

But as a midfielder, Kaka is most feared by Liverpool's lagging midfielder, Javier Mascherano.

The Argentine was no slouch and barely allowed Roma to take advantage of the attack.

As the saying goes, Kaka has performed well at AC Milan without the support of teammates such as Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso, and the same is true for Yang Yang at Liverpool.

"Another year has passed, and I didn't expect him to improve so much!" Kaka felt some pressure.

Although he and Yang Yang are not in the same league, they are both players of the same age in the end, and they will inevitably be compared.

Yang Yang is a latecomer, and he has been in the limelight in the past two years.

Others may think that that is the norm in the Premier League, and the British media always likes to blow the stars of the Premier League, but Kaka, who watched Yang Yang's game with his own eyes, knows very well that after joining the Premier League, Yang Yang has indeed made great progress.

Whether it is physical fitness, strength confrontation, or his technical comprehensiveness, there has obviously been a huge improvement.

A year ago, Yang Yang helped Ajax eliminate AC Milan.

This guy who likes to hold grudges finally got what he wanted, but Kaka also made a note of this in his heart.

It's just that this year, when the quarterfinals were drawn, AC Milan and Liverpool were in different halves, and if they wanted to meet, they could only meet in the final.

Thinking of this, Kaka's heart also swelled with high morale.

They are all young players and inevitably all of them are competitive.

You can ignore the comments of media reporters, but it is difficult not to compete with each other.

Kaka believes that he is like this, and Yang Yang is even more so.

"Competitive and vindictive guy, I'll fight to reach the finals and wait for you!" Kaka muttered to himself.

…………

…………

A month ago, Barcelona returned from Anfield in the second leg of the Champions League last-16 knockout round.

The next day, Messi took the initiative to apply to the club, hoping that the team could arrange a set of physical strengthening training for him, and at the same time arrange a nutritionist to tailor a daily diet for him.

This sudden move surprised the Barcelona coaching staff, because these have always been the most resistant.

"I want to be stronger, better than anyone else!" Messi gritted his teeth.

In the past month, Messi has been training almost every day, and he has become the hardest working player in Barcelona Gamble Sports City, not only completing the training of the coaching staff, but also taking the initiative to train every day.

Even the gym, which he used to hate the most, began to report on time every day.

In Gamble Sports City, everyone felt the change in Messi.

In a month, Messi has changed a lot.

His hair was long, so he put on a headband, and it looked a little more adrift.

His beard has not been shaved for a long time, and his beard is thick, which makes him look a few years older, and some people think that he has found a sponsor for razors, but Messi just said lightly that he just doesn't have time.

So where did all his time go?

Training!

He spends all his time training every day, except for eating, sleeping, and resting.

It was something he had never done in his life.

Everyone else wondered about his transformation, and even he wondered, what was going on?

But gradually, he understood.

He's grown up!

It is no longer possible for him to grow up under the wing of his teammates and hide under the coach and teammates as he used to be.

Barcelona could no longer shelter him, because the ship itself was already in tatters and in the wind and rain.

Now that he's grown up, he needs to fight like a man! Unite your teammates!

Before, it was Barcelona who was guarding him, and now, he needs to defend Barcelona!

……

In the gym at Gamble Sports City, Messi is lying on the Smith machine, doing bench presses.

Even though he was already sweating profusely, he still gritted his teeth in support.

He had in mind some of the reports from the Catalan newspapers this morning, all focused on Liverpool's eight-goal win over Roma last night.

Yang Yang scored one goal and had five assists, playing a perfect battle!

This morning, the media in Catalonia are hyping that Barcelona should bring in Yang Yang, and there are even many media analyses that Yang Yang can get more opportunities if he is in Barcelona.

Because Ronaldinho and Messi will pass the ball and assist him from behind!

This sentence completely irritated Messi!

He has always regarded Yang Yang as an opponent, and he has never felt that he is inferior to Yang Yang, but media reporters and many fans think that he should be Yang Yang's assistant, which stimulates him.

He was never one to confide in others, so he took everything he thought out on the gym equipment, and it wasn't until the coach of the club came and shouted to stop that he was out of breath.

"What's going on? You're going to get hurt if you practice like this. The coach complained.

Messi is injured, and he, the coach, is also going to be unlucky.

The Argentine nodded apologetically, grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from his body.

The team has been doing well lately, and after losing to Liverpool, they have played three games since returning to La Liga, with two wins and one defeat, and lost away to Zaragoza, which is also somewhat of a pressure for Barcelona.

On the contrary, it was Real Madrid, pressing all the way, and Capello's team was bent on turning the tables around.

The focus will be on this weekend's derby of the century, where Barcelona host Real Madrid.

It's a crucial battle, so there's a lot of pressure on everyone in Barcelona.

This is true of Ronaldinho, and even more so is Messi.

After the locker room rupture, the club has begun to realize that neither Ronaldinho, Deco, nor Eto'o are Barcelona's own after all, so the club began to increase its efforts to support Messi to the top.

Everyone believes that Messi is the future of Barcelona.

But it is precisely because of this that everyone has placed more high hopes on Messi, which also puts more pressure on the Argentine's shoulders.

"Leo, don't put too much pressure on yourself, after all, you're only nineteen years old." The coach comforted.

But Messi raised his head, glanced at the other party, and replied lightly: "Nineteen years old is not young, Yang Yang has led Ajax to win the League Cup and reach the Champions League semifinals." ”

The coach was speechless, he wanted to say that Yang Yang was a pervert, how many years did it take to produce one, but ......

But before the words could be spoken, he himself could not speak.

Yang Yang is a genius and a pervert, but why not Messi?

Everyone up and down Barcelona, and even the whole world, who doesn't think Messi is a genius?

The only difference is that Yang Yang debuted at Ajax, which trusts young people more, and seized the opportunity at once.

In the first season of his debut, he helped the team win the Champions League, won the League Cup in the second season, broke Ronaldo's legendary record in the league, and led the team to the semi-finals in the third season, breaking the all-time goal record in the Eredivisie.

It can be said that Yang Yang has redefined genius with unforgettable results in the past few years.

It may also be said that he has completely darkened the other geniuses.

Whether it's Lionel Messi, AC Milan's Kaka, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, or Chelsea's Arjen Robben...... Under the light of Yang Yang, everyone inevitably lost their color.

"Don't worry, I know exactly what I should do and how I want to do it." Messi said with great certainty.

The last month's hard training is not only to hone his ball skills and improve his physical strength, but also to polish his mind, especially as he persists in training, he gradually understands more.

It turns out that training can really bring confidence!

With two days to go until the Century Derby, it will be the most important game of the season for Barcelona, as Barcelona lost the first Century Derby, and if they lose again, the team will definitely be devastated.

So, there is a consensus within Barcelona that it will be a game that cannot be lost and cannot afford to lose.

To win the game, you have to rely on the current group of players in the team.

Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Deco ...... And Messi.

Messi wiped himself dry, exhaled heavily, turned and walked out of the gym.

It's a rare good spring outside.

Messi looked at the blue sky, his eyes were extremely determined.

I'm ready!

Just come on!
