Until the 37th round of the league, the battle between Lin Yu and Messi for the scorer list was completely clear, and with only one round of games left, Lin Yu surpassed Messi by nine goals, which is simply an insurmountable gap, which Messi understands and the media understands.

But this thing is a bit frustrating to think about, in today's football world, is there really no one who can catch up with Lin Yu in goals? Messi has been defeated, who else is qualified to compete with Lin Yu?

After this round of the league, no one pays attention to the competition for the first place in the La Liga scorer list, because there is no suspense at all, and everyone knows that Lin Yu is bound to win the first place in the La Liga scorer list.

Including those loyal fans and die-hard fans of Lin Yu, they also understand that at least this season, in the league goals, Messi has been completely defeated, they only hope that Messi can catch up with Lin Yu in the Champions League goals, in that case, at least in terms of personal honor, you can also compete with Lin Yu, otherwise, Lin Yu has scored 60 goals in the league this season, 17 goals in the Champions League, all of which are the top scorers, plus the league championship, if you win another Copa del Rey championship, it will be very likely to win the next FIFA Golden Ball Award, if he wins the FIFA Golden Ball Award for the fourth time, Messi will have no advantage in front of Lin Yu at all.

For these things, Messi is actually very clear in his heart, so he doesn't have the strength to fight with Lin Yu now, the most important thing for him now is to pay attention to the Champions League final, and find ways to get the Champions League Golden Boot, and at the same time help the team win the Champions League trophy, in that case, the next European Golden Ball Award and FIFA Golden Ball Award. He has the strength to fight, after all, the Champions League bonus is very high. In addition, if he wins the Champions League Golden Boot, he will definitely have a big advantage. But now the question is whether you can get it.

……

Before the final round of the league, the pattern of La Liga has basically been decided, the league champion, the relegated team, and the teams that can play in the Champions League and Europa League next season have all come out, and the competition for the top scorer is completely out of suspense, so this is the most round of the league, in a sense, it can be regarded as a garbage game, and many teams will use it as a training game.

For example, Real Madrid coach Lippi has long thought that the final round of the league will be full of substitutes. Including Lin Yu will not play, let all the players who have not played this season go to the field to exercise.

At present, for Real Madrid, the only thing worth caring about is the upcoming Copa del Rey final, but the opponent is Real Sociedad, and it is not particularly difficult to play, so from Real Madrid, it should be easier to face this game.

At this time, most of the media's attention was focused on the Champions League final, after all, compared to the Copa del Rey in Spain. The Champions League is the focus, and this time the showdown between Bayern Munich and Barcelona coached by Pep Guardiola can be regarded as an old friend meeting.

Pep Guardiola, who once created countless glories in Barcelona, has now become the worst enemy. This is actually not very comfortable for the Barcelona players.

Love, hate, and hatred are also things that the media like to talk about. So this game has naturally become the most eye-catching in the media recently.

Not to mention that Barcelona and Bayern Munich also have quite good stars.

But these things. It doesn't have much to do with Lin Yu, he has been more relaxed recently. The number of times the media bother him has dropped significantly, and he is happy to be idle.

Some time ago, because of what happened in the semi-finals, he was almost annoyed by reporters, and now he can finally breathe easily.

The day before the start of the Copa del Rey final, Lin Yu suddenly received a phone invitation from Lippi, saying that he was invited to his home for a meal.

When Lin Yu was in the Premier League before, he often went to Mourinho's house, but at that time he didn't feel anything wrong, because he and Mourinho were not only coaches and players, but also friends.

Lippi is different from Mourinho, not only is he much older, but to be honest, apart from the relationship between the coach and the player, he and Lippi have no other intersection, Lippi suddenly invited him to dinner at home, what does this mean?

Because he was surprised, Lin Yu didn't immediately agree, he was thinking about the reason why Lippi asked him to go.

"Can't you? Or do you have other arrangements? Lippi asked over the phone.

To be honest, Lin Yu didn't want to go much, when he used to go to school, he was often called to the office by the teacher for training because of his poor academic performance, he always felt that the coach was similar to the teacher, so he was extremely reluctant to stay with the coach, that feeling was too awkward and embarrassing.

What's more, he has a girlfriend now, Qu Hong said that he would give him a surprise before the Copa del Rey final, Lin Yu is still thinking about what kind of surprise it is, his heart has flown to his girlfriend, where is the heart to go to Lippi's house for dinner.

But think about it carefully, Lippi has been really good to him since he coached Real Madrid, in the last racial discrimination incident, and this time in the Champions League semi-final violence, Lippi has firmly stood on his side, and for him has publicly criticized UEFA in front of the media, if you don't even give this face, is it too much?

So he asked, "When are you going?" ”

"It's just afternoon, I can't delay you for long."

"Well, no problem in the afternoon, I can go in the afternoon!" Lin Yu and Qu Hong agreed on the time at night, so there was no conflict.

Lippi was obviously relieved when he heard Lin Yu agree, and he could hear it on the other end of the phone.

……

Lippi did not buy a house in Madrid, the place where he lives now is lent to him by the club, but this place is also very atmospheric, although not luxurious, but definitely worthy of such an international coach as Lippi.

The reason why he didn't buy a house here, Lippi also has his own plans, he knows that he is old, and it is not the same thing to be running around all the time, so he has long had plans to retire, but before he retires, he still wants to coach a player like Lin Yu, which is also an honor for him.

"Welcome to my old man's house!" Lippi opened the door and let Lin Yu in. In addition to Lippi overseas, there is also a chef he specially invited who is good at cooking Italian food.

Like a lot of people. Lippi also has a hometown complex, something for his own country. Always a special favorite. This is the same as Lin Yu.

Entering the living room, the things on the table have been arranged, in fact, for Lin Yu, what Italian delicacy is definitely not as good as Chinese food, but today he is not here to cheat and cheat, so it doesn't matter.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they started talking about Real Madrid and the future.

I'm afraid this is also the purpose of Lippi inviting Lin Yu to come.

"You used to be nicknamed 'Spirit Fox' in Dortmund, right?"

"Yes, it's actually more than the devil who is vicious. I prefer the nickname Linghu. Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Your name is Linghu, and I am called Silver Fox, we are actually quite fated."

"Hahaha, that's right, although the times are different, it really has to be a kind of fate to come together."

Lin Yu originally thought that this meal would be very embarrassing, but Lippi completely broke the embarrassment with a word, and the two of them were like good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Started talking.

"As an old man, I'm okay with you, right?" Lippi smiled.

"Of course, no problem, I'm not really the devil, you've been coaching me for almost a season. Don't you understand? Lin Yu also smiled.

Lippi nodded, then said, "This is just my personal advice, you can listen to it." You can also not listen! But I absolutely didn't mean anything else! ”

"Don't worry, Coach, I'm not the kind of bastard who doesn't know what to do."

"Haha. Then I'll just say it! I think you should try not to do things that attract firepower in the future, you always attract firepower to yourself. Fighting with the media, although I haven't suffered any losses so far, don't forget, there are many crazy people in this world, and they really have to do a lot of crazy things! Just ignore those media! ”

Lin Yu smiled, then nodded.

Lippi could see that Lin Yu didn't take such words seriously at all, this is what he said, if he was someone else, Lin Yu was only afraid that he would have jumped up and refuted, everyone has different ways of doing things, in fact, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, he persuaded Lin Yu like this today, in fact, it was only from his personal experience to persuade him, maybe there is no problem in his opinion, but maybe it is not suitable for Lin Yu.

Thinking of this, Lippi didn't continue the topic, he believed that Lin Yu could achieve such good results and get to this point, it was definitely inseparable from his strong character, if he didn't have that kind of character, he might not be able to reach today's level.

His idea is actually not wrong, if Lin Yu is not arrogant enough, not ambitious enough, not rushing, not domineering enough, then the small droplet that controls the ball king cultivator will definitely not come to Lin Yu, I am afraid that after leaving Leverkusen, Lin Yu's football road will be broken.

Lippi doesn't have any special feelings for Real Madrid, but he still hopes that he can bring some new changes to Real Madrid during his tenure.

He has always felt that Casillas is not suitable to be a captain, especially the captain of Real Madrid, so he prefers to train Lin Yu to be the next captain of Real Madrid, if he can make Lin Yu the captain of Real Madrid before he leaves the team, it will be a blessing.

Lin Yu's personality is very similar to the spirit pursued by Real Madrid, and Lippi is very clear.

In the following time, Lippi babbled a lot of things about team management, he actually wanted to cultivate Lin Yu's captaincy thinking, and consider the problem from the overall situation.

However, when he finished speaking, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Coach, I understand what you mean by what you said to me today, but I think there are two kinds of captains in this world. ”

"Oh? It's a new way of saying it, let's talk about it. Lippi was also interested.

"The first is the kind of captain you want, everything has to take into account the overall situation, everything has to be seen from the height of the team, to put it bluntly, it is actually a manager who replaces the coach, similar to the squad leader when we were in school!"

"Well, what about the second one?"

"The second type of captain is a little different, this kind of captain, they are the best players in the team, every game, they can use their actions to inspire the team's fighting spirit, lead the team to win, and when there is no game, his words and deeds can also become the talk of his teammates, he is not only an idol, but also the person who leads everyone forward! They don't have to say too much, they don't have to worry too much, but every time they speak, they are very useful, because he always leads by example and makes the players admire! ”

"Haha, this seems to be good, you plan to be the second kind of captain?" Lippi asked.

Lin Yu nodded and said: "If I am the captain, my management ability will definitely be a shortcoming, but I think these things can be done by coaches and assistant coaches, as the captain on the field, more responsibility is to lead the team to victory, in ancient wars, there are generals who sit in the rear, and there are generals who take the lead, I can't say which is better or worse, but if it's me, I prefer to take the lead!" Instead of being a high-ranking manager, you should be a person who can be regarded as a brother by your teammates! ”

"Well, you've taught me a lesson today! It's not too early, you hurry up and go back to rest, tomorrow's Copa del Rey will be refueled! Lippi said.

"Copa del Rey?" Lin Yu smiled disdainfully: "There is a sentence you may not like to hear, but I really don't look down on the Copa del Rey, I want the league and the Champions League, and I can't wait for the arrival of the Champions League next season!" That's it for the Copa del Rey. (To be continued......)
