"Has Messi been on drugs lately? All of a sudden, it's so fierce! ”

"He's already very strong, otherwise Barcelona wouldn't have focused on cultivating him."

"But it's too fierce, isn't it? A hat-trick against Real Madrid, and now another one has five in a row. ”

'Lately, he's been in really good form.

"I guess he was stimulated by us, he didn't perform in the two knockout games of the Champions League, and he probably put a lot of pressure."

"To be able to break out like this, this guy's future is not simple."

"Who's to say it isn't? Barcelona have played so badly this season and are under so much pressure, he can handle it, it's not easy. ”

"We're under a lot of pressure, shouldn't we have a blast?"

"You think you're Messi!"

……

In an Italian restaurant in downtown Liverpool, Liverpool players sit around a large oval table.

Everyone didn't say a word, and they were talking about the hottest topics of the day.

In the first leg of the Spanish Copa del Rey semifinals, Barcelona vs. Getafe, Messi played a god-like performance, using one to pass five people in a row, completely shocking the entire stadium, making fans and media reporters all over the world worship.

This is a legend that only Maradona had!

So, this morning, the protagonists of the world's major media have become Messi, and everyone has given overwhelming praise to Messi's performance, and many of them have mentioned Yang Yang intentionally or unintentionally.

There are even media in Catalonia who openly provoke Yang Yang, believing that this is Messi's genius blow, and Yang Yang can't do it at all, because only Messi has such a super talent and talent.

There was even a newspaper that openly shouted, "With Messi's outbreak, he will soon become the brightest superstar in European football, and even Yang Yang will have to succumb to Messi." ”

These all make the Liverpool team very worthless for Yang Yang, because there is no comparison.

……

"I think that Messi's successive five people this time is certainly a reflection of his strength, but in fact, it is also due to luck, a bit like Yang Yang's opening world wave, which is difficult to replicate." Xavi Alonso analyzed.

"Yes, I watched the video of the game, the position of the defenders of Getafe at that time was simply rotten, the distance was too far, as soon as Messi rushed up, they were chaotic again, saying that they had five people in a row, but according to me, give Yang Yang the same opportunity, he may not be able to play." Aurelio was also indignant.

As Yang Yang's friend in the team and the natural enemy of the Argentine, the Brazilian left fullback naturally supports Yang Yang.

Mascherano sat next to Yang Yang, turned his head sideways, glanced at Yang Yang's face, and found that it was very calm.

"I think those words are just malicious provocations by the media, they are just trying to win attention, Messi will definitely not say that, so don't worry too much."

Mascherano is an Argentine and Messi's teammate, and the relationship between the two is also good, but now he has a very good relationship with Yang Yang, so he naturally wants to mediate and don't want any misunderstanding between the two.

"Don't worry, I know what the media is up to." Yang Yang said with a smile.

Several teammates in the team who were familiar with Yang Yang immediately laughed when they saw him like this.

"Want to give it a try?" Kuyt asked.

He and Yang Yang have been opponents in the Eredivisie for three years, especially in the 0405 season, the two have been chasing back and forth on the Eredivisie scorer list for a long time, and Kuyt knows Yang Yang's character very well.

To put it bluntly, this guy is also extremely competitive.

But it's normal, if you don't have a competitive spirit, then Yang Yang is still Yang Yang?

Not to mention Yang Yang, who can sit here without competitiveness?

"Then let's do it!" Captain Gerald laughed.

"Yes, you can try if you want, it's a big deal that we'll help you grab a few more balls and pass a few more balls."

At this time, Daniel Agger suddenly appeared out of nowhere, refilled the water to his teammates at the oval table one by one, like a waiter in a restaurant, and suddenly interjected: "But remember, oh, it's really successful, I must ask everyone to come to my store a few more times to take care of my business." ”

When the crowd saw the Dane's appearance, they booed, but they burst into laughter.

The players' wives, girlfriends, or children were all at another table not far away, and when they heard the movement, they all looked over and laughed, wondering what the hell the men were coaxing.

Su Ye's attention always fell on Yang Yang.

……

This Italian restaurant was recently ordered by Daniel Agger, and it is said that a lot of money was spent, and he was responsible for the renovation himself.

Don't look at the Danish central defender is very fierce on the pitch, but in fact, in private, he is a very tasteful and smart guy, and the first thing he did after taking over the restaurant was to invite everyone in Liverpool to come and try it for free.

In the name of treats, he actually wants Liverpool's teammates to cheer him up.

Obviously, tomorrow's news will definitely be in the local newspaper, which is equivalent to a free advertisement.

However, since it is a critical stage of the league, everyone pays more attention.

Because of this, the players are separated from the women and children.

……

"To be honest, if you have five people in a row with Messi, you will suffer a lot, it feels like Messi is competing with you for a header." Xavi Alonso said with a smile that his current relationship with Yang Yang is also excellent.

"It's not just because Messi has good skills at his feet, but more importantly, he's shorter, he's low in the center of gravity, and he's also a continuous pass, and he needs a lot less space than you, which is more beneficial for him."

Everyone also nodded, this is indeed the truth.

To some extent, Messi's five in a row is more rare than Maradona's.

Because the defensive tightness of modern football is higher than it was under Maradona, it is more difficult to make consecutive passes.

This is also in La Liga, if it is changed to Serie A, then don't expect it at all.

"I think it's better to try it on the weekend, Wigan Athletic's defense is pretty average."

"yes, didn't the boss say that? A few of you are on the bench at the weekend, and when the time comes, it happens to be a time when Wigan Athletic is physically exhausted, maybe there is a chance? ”

"However, Wigan Athletic is now fighting for relegation, so it's not easy to cope."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became energetic and put forward various opinions.

Yang Yang's attitude is to look at the opportunity, and when the time is right, the most important thing is to ensure that the team wins.

…………

…………

Two days later, in the 35th round of the Premier League, Liverpool hosted Wigan Athletic.

With the first leg of the Champions League semi-final coming up next Wednesday, Liverpool have made changes to their line-up.

Yang Yang sat on the bench and was not assigned to start.

Benitez is also asking of him very simply, to do everything in his power to prepare for next Wednesday's Champions League game.

Everyone can see that the next game against Chelsea is going to be a tough one.

Yang Yang came on as a substitute in the 60th minute, when Liverpool were already 1-0 up.

Pennant crossed from the right in the 30th minute and set up Kuyt's goal.

After Yang Yang replaced Crouch, he partnered with Kuyt as a double striker.

Just eight minutes later, Yang Yang formed a personal breakthrough on the left rib and assisted Kuyt to score another goal to extend the score to 2-0.

Then, Steven Gerrard also came off the bench.

Yang Yang was in a team from defense to attack, after retreating in the middle to receive the ball, he turned and advanced with the ball, although he passed a player on the other side, but soon suffered a foul, winning a free kick opportunity for Liverpool.

This made Yang Yang feel very depressed, and when he got up from the grass, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

How can the Premier League's defenders be so savage?

Look at other people's La Liga, how much to cooperate with Messi?

…………

…………

After the game, Liverpool beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home, with Kuyt scoring a brace.

Yang Yang came off the bench for 30 minutes in this game, more to adjust his state, and did not try his best, but he still gave an assist, and the British media once again affirmed his performance.

But the Catalan media is not so tolerant.

The World Sports News specially published Yang Yang's helpless and bitter smile when he got up after being shoveled to the ground, indicating that Yang Yang was not to be outdone and wanted to compete with Messi, but he was disgraced.

Not only that, but they also fell into the hole in the report, "A flash of genius, you can't do it!" ”

The British media has always been more protective of the short, and immediately fired back, saying that Yang Yang did not try his best in the game.

"Yang Yang's goal is the Champions Cup in midweek, and Messi ...... Well, he's working on the Copa del Rey! ”

Because this weekend, Barcelona lost 0-2 away to Villarreal.

Although Barcelona is still at the top of the table, in fact, Sevilla and Real Madrid are getting closer and closer, especially Capello's Real Madrid, with the outbreak of players such as Beckham, they are chasing all the way.

So far, they are only two points behind Barcelona.

So, for Barcelona, the league is not safe at all.

…………

…………

As for the rivalry between the British and Catalan media, Yang Yang didn't pay much attention to it.

After playing Wigan Athletic, the team began to devote themselves to preparing for the Champions League semi-finals.

The attempt at Wigan Athletic was just a temporary decision he made when he saw an opportunity, and if he failed, he failed, and for Yang Yang, the most important thing is that the team can win and go further in the Champions League.

As for the rest, all are secondary.

Because he has a stronger goal in mind, which is to be in the top three of the world footballer of the year, or even ......

Especially given that there were no national team competitions in 2007, the Champions League performance undoubtedly played a key role.

And to get this honor, he needs to at least win the Champions League.

This is Yang Yang's real goal, and he has been working hard for it.

In order to better prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool arrived in London the night before the game and checked into a pre-booked hotel.

Unexpectedly, something happened on the night of the game.
