Chapter 4: Isco's Replacement (96/134)

When Isco suddenly fell to the ground in training, there was a bit of a commotion because he didn't have any physical contact in training, and then he just fell to the ground, which was really weird enough.

Everyone was stunned at first, but they just turned their heads to look at him, but they didn't react.

Messi is also one of them, and when he has not yet transferred out, he is still a member of Lazio, so naturally he has to train with the whole Lazio team.

Isco fell to the ground about a dozen meters away from him, and just fell to the ground, then clutched his knees.

Everyone was frightened, and it took about a few seconds for anyone to react.

Assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez was the first to rush forward.

Then more people gathered around.

Messi's movements were a little slow, and he was squeezed outside, and if he wanted to get up, he could only see everyone's backs.

Soon the team doctor rushed over, and then Isco was carried out on a stretcher.

Isco was carried out, and there was talk on the training ground about his injury, and the players whispered, speculating about where Isco was injured and what the condition was.

You must know that he has just joined the team, and he has not had time to contribute his strength to the team......

Messi turned his head to look at the head coach Chang Sheng on the sidelines, and he found that the boss was frowning and talking to his assistant coach.

They must also be discussing Isco's injury.

Messi is also worried about Isco's injury.

A player who spent so much money on the club was injured before he could play a game. That's not a good sign.

It's not a good thing for Isco to integrate into the team either.

※※※

That evening, the news media reported that Isco had been injured in training.

Isco, who joined Lazio for 60 million euros, was rushed to hospital after suffering a sudden injury in training that caused him to fall to the ground without any physical contact...... Now the results of the examination are in. Isco suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee...... He had to undergo surgery, and if he did, he would probably miss most of the season...... Isco joined Lazio from Real Madrid for 60 million euros this summer and has yet to play a game for Lazio......

Chang Sheng turned off the TV irritably.

The media was not optimistic about Lazio's results in the new season. Their reason was that Lazio had a bad start to the new season, and that they had fallen out with the club just after the pre-season training camp began, and that the contract renewal negotiations broke down completely, and then Jose Passarella also announced that he would retire at the end of the season......

All things are not good.

As a result, Isco, who spent a lot of money to bring in, was seriously injured before he even played a game.

It seems to confirm the media's claim that Lazio have had a bad start and will have a very difficult season.

The result of the hospital examination was that Isco's knee ligament had been under high load, and he had not rested much this summer. So in the end...... Stretched.

In simple terms. It was Real Madrid who overloaded Isco with high intensity. As a result, Isco's injury was surined.

It seems that Real Madrid have known for a long time that they will not be able to keep Isco, because Isco has been clamoring to come to Lazio.

So in the end they simply used Isco desperately, draining all his energy. Last season. Isco played all 38 league games, all Champions League games and Copa del Rey matches. Almost every start.

Of course, Isco also performed well last season, with no injuries and no form slump, he was the top scorer in La Liga last season, second in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. With a lot of goals, a lot of assists, a great performance, no one thinks there's anything wrong with such a player when he is sent out in a row, and people even want Isco to start all the time, and if he doesn't start, it will cause controversy in the media......

At that time, no one expected that Isco's successive starts would be Real Madrid's revenge against Lazio......

So now Lazio spent 60 million to buy a time bomb back, and this bomb was finally detonated today.

Chang Sheng was very unhappy, he felt that he was being put on the table.

The double upset made him very irritable.

But he also knew that he couldn't continue to be irritable, and irritability would not solve the problem.

He's going to have to figure out how to fix it.

Isco bought it to strengthen the team's attacking strength.

As a result, Isco was injured, so what about the team's attack?

At present, the main striker combination of Icardi and Gotze and Isco are the team.

The substitutes were Edinson Cavani, Lionel Messi and Andrea Borg.

Now that Isco is injured, who will be on top?

Edinson Cavani was a central midfielder substitute, while Isco played as a winger and a libero up front.

Cavani is not up to the task.

Andrea Borg is a player on the right flank, overlapping with Gotze but not suitable for the left.

Isco is playing on the left wing.

It's Messi here......

Chang Sheng thought about it, and when he raised his head again, he finally made a decision.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the club's general manager, Tare.

"Stop the transfer negotiations for Messi. We need him to stay. ”

Talay was a little surprised, but he didn't ask why.

He knows that Isco is injured, so letting Messi stay may be to let Messi replace Isco......

He agreed: "Okay." ”

Anyway, Messi has always been unable to sell at a price, and if he doesn't sell it, he won't sell it, and Taray is not heartbroken.

Earning such a little money, he is haggard every day, and he would rather not earn this money.

When Messi went to the team to train the next day, he was called to his office by Chang Sheng alone.

Chang Sheng sat in his boss's chair and looked at Messi standing in front of him.

The former No. 1 player in world football is now aging.

Standing in front of him, he didn't have the momentum of being the best in the world at the beginning. When in Barcelona. He was nicknamed the "Ball Bully", but at Lazio he kept a low profile...... Maybe it's because he has experienced something like that that has made him see through a lot of his whole person.

His speed was gone. His dexterity is not as good as it used to be.

He's also prone to injury, which is why Chang Sheng wanted to sell him last season.

It's just that I really didn't expect that the player I once wanted to give up would now want him to stay......

"Do you know why I called you. Leo? ”

Messi shook his head: "I don't know, boss." ”

Chang Sheng said: "I have stopped all transfer talks about you. ”

Hearing this, Messi was a little surprised.

'Isco is injured and he's going to miss most of the season – that's an optimistic estimate. Let's be pessimistic, he may need to rest all season. The club's 60 million was just a drain. I need you to stay and contribute to the team. You have a year left on your contract with the club, I know that, so you are free to leave after this season. The club won't stand in your way. You can even negotiate contracts with other teams in January next year. You won't be banned in any way for that. ”

Messi looked at the boss in front of him.

Before his move to Lazio. I've heard a lot of rumors about Chang Sheng, and many of them are not good words.

Everyone said that Chang Sheng was a ruthless person, those players who made a lot of contributions to him. When they didn't have any use for him, he said to kick away and kick away.

And Chang Sheng and Messi are still a little bit of a mustard. When Messi won the FIFA Golden Ball Award in 2011, Chang Sheng also went up to disrupt the game. The two should be considered to have a grudge.

But despite this, he resolutely accepted Lazio's invitation and came to Lazio.

Because he doesn't care how he will be treated in the end, he has already been treated like that once anyway, he just wants to go to a team that can threaten Barcelona, in a team that can win the championship, and use his outstanding performance to help the team win the championship, and then use it to slap Barcelona in the face, so that they can understand how wrong it is to choose Neymar and give up their own Barcelona!

In Messi's opinion, Lazio is the only team that can do this, so he doesn't care about his grudge with Chang Sheng......

He was mentally prepared to be given up from the beginning. To put it bluntly, he and Lazio are using each other, Lazio needs his strength, and he also needs to use Lazio to complete his revenge on Barcelona.

He succeeded, Lazio won the title, each taking what he wanted, the best of both worlds, and no one owes anyone.

So when he was out for almost a season due to injury, the club wanted to sell him, and he had no complaints.

But he needed him again for the club, and he was not mentally prepared at all......

He felt that even if Isco was injured, he would not be able to take his turn, and Andrea Borg, who was also a young player with excellent speed and skill.

"I ...... There's a problem, boss. Messi spoke.

"You say."

"Why me?" Messi asked. "Isco is injured, but I don't know if I can last a season, you let me stay, what if I get injured too? Just like last season, one injury hurts almost a season......"

Chang Sheng nodded: "Indeed, I can go to the academy to Taobao, maybe I can find a good replacement." But I chose you anyway because I want to win the championship this season, and you're a champion, even if you're old, you're a champion. Your experience and ability are the reasons why I chose you. ”

Messi left the winning office and walked towards the training ground.

His mind still echoed the last words of the boss to him: "This is my last season in Lazio, and it is also your last season in Lazio, since it is the last season, then there is nothing to worry about, let's put aside other distractions, fight hard for a season, there has been no championship for two consecutive years, this time, we must come back with a championship!" ”

Messi was suddenly full of power.

It's the last season...... Don't regret it.

He clenched his fists.

How can I say that Messi is also the former world No. 1, even if I want to leave this team, it doesn't seem like leaving with an image of "injured and no one wants".

Instead, you should leave the champions and the people in amazement and turn away.

In that way, it can be regarded as ...... Regrets!

In this way, Messi agreed to win constantly, stayed at Lazio, played his last season, and helped the team tide over the difficulties.

Chang Sheng can finally avoid the headache Isco's injury for a while.
