"Andres Iniesta is outstanding."

Liverpool, for their part, are busy looking for a partner, while other clubs are already eyeing the new season. Everyone was busy with their own business, and Rist was at Camp Nou at this time. On August 27, 2007, the first round of La Liga kicked off at Camp Nou. Barcelona host Sevilla.

Like Riester in Barcelona there is a dedicated location here. When Rist first cooperated with Laporta, Laporta had already reserved a box for Rist. Many agents will have such clauses when negotiating with the club. That is a fixed box for one or two years for the broker, which is also a disguised broker commission. When the relationship with Rist was not good, if Laporta did not have a contract, he wanted to cancel Rist's box treatment directly. Many celebrities who have a bad relationship with Laporta are treated like this. Fortunately, it is normal now, and Rist has once again obtained the right to use the top box for the next three years in Messi's contract.

Laporta, who was very dissatisfied with last season, finally got rid of Ronaldinho. And the departure of Ronaldinho has made one person quickly ascend to the position, and that is the twenty-three-year-old Iniesta. Although he played a lot in the first two seasons, most of it was when Xavi was injured and Ronaldinho and Giuli were injured. But now that Ronaldinho is gone, he has suddenly become a regular in the front field.

Andres Iniesta's dribbling, ball control, and passing in small areas were all outstanding. Even Rist, who looked at it, couldn't help but praise Iniesta.

'Lister, our Barcelona academy is already very good.

"Yes."

Reesette nodded. Didn't like Laporta though. But this sentence is admitted by Lister. Among the current European football giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the best academy. Compared to them, the youth academies of several of the Premier League's giants are almost no different from garbage. Of course, this is also because the selection range of Premier League giants is not as good as that of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

'Messi has always played as a left winger at PSV Eindhoven, but today he played as a right winger. Messi, Messi received a pass from Deco. Messi, Messi cut. Messi's feet were quick and shook past Dragutinovic. Messi, pass! ”

Although Messi is playing in La Liga for the first time, he has played nearly thirty Champions League games at PSV Eindhoven. The opponents we met were all strong European teams, so I was not nervous at all about playing La Liga. Face Dragutinovic. It was easy to shake it off. It's like a break from the side. But suddenly an incision. Then he passed the ball through the gap between Dragutinovic and Escud.

"Henry, this ball Henry and Messi have no tacit understanding. Henry was half a step slower and the ball was picked up by Palop. This is the first official match between Henry and Messi, and the lack of some tacit understanding is certain. ”

The narrator is very sorry. The series of breakthroughs after Messi got the ball just now is simply beautiful. The same goes for the backmost passes. It's just that there is a lack of tacit understanding between Messi and Henry. Otherwise, Henry would have just gotten the ball. Then there are basically goals.

"Messi is the most important signing for Barcelona this season. From Ronaldinho's departure, it can be seen that Messi is here to replace Ronaldinho. Judging from the breakthrough and passing just now, Messi is worth investing in. ”

For Messi's performance, Lister nodded. Messi is more at home at Barcelona than at PSV Eindhoven. Because Barcelona is stronger. Barcelona's style of play with ball control and short passes is more suitable for Messi. It's just that Messi has just come to Barcelona after all, and the tacit understanding between him and the players is still not enough. After several excellent breakthroughs, the cooperation was not successful.

'It's 71 minutes into the second half. Although Barcelona dominated the game, they never found the back of the net. ”

Barcelona's quality goes without saying. The current midfielder is Yaya. The combination of Toure, Xavi, and Deco, and the frontcourt is also a combination of Henry, Iniesta, and Messi. After Ronaldinho's departure, Barcelona's dressing room has indeed settled down a lot. Originally, with the strength of Barcelona, if there was no clash in the dressing room last season, it would not even have won the Champions League place. Now that the locker room problem has been eliminated, although Barcelona is no longer as strong as it was at the peak of Dream II, its strength is still one of the top teams in La Liga.

"Iniesta, Iniesta came to the middle. Iniesta, he broke through Renato. Iniesta, pass! ”

Andres Iniesta's breakthrough ability is very strong. Although not as direct as Messi and as clever as Ronaldinho, his passing is light and elegant, just like Duan Yu's Ling Bo microstep. Deco and Xavi both lacked vertical breakthroughs, but this time Iniesta suddenly came to the middle and disrupted Sevilla's defensive line in one fell swoop. Broke through Renato and played the ball down the left before Keita could get over.

"Henry, Henry got the ball. Henry starts up quickly, and the left side is where Henry excels. Thierry Henry, cross! ”

When Thierry Henry was at Arsenal, he attacked from the left with the ball. This time, after getting the ball on the left side, I felt it all at once. After breaking through your opponent, rub the ball up with your left foot. The ball made a small arc and came to the vicinity of the big penalty area. The ball was so well passed that it was difficult for the goalkeeper to deal with, and the same retracted back line had to be pressed out again.

"Messi, Messi picked Dragutinovic."

The power of the ball is not large, and it just came to the route that Messi inserted forward. Dragutinovic saw the ball pass to Messi's feet, and it was immediately a tackle. Because he faced Messi several times in this game, he was unable to defend against Messi. So he understands that one-on-one defense Messi, he simply can't do it.

So he didn't want Messi to speed up, and when he just got the ball, it should be said that he didn't stop the ball directly, he directly tackled to destroy Barcelona's attack this time. But after Messi saw him tackle, he didn't stop the ball and gently picked up the ball. The height is not high, that is, about one meter. Then the man jumped, and even the man dribbled past Dragutinovic.

"Messi, Messi, shoot!"

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

Messi stopped the ball with his right leg after passing Dragutinovic and fired a direct shot with his left foot. The ball did not hit the ground at that time, and Messi came directly to volley.

"Messi! Messi had a very good start at Barcelona, scoring a goal in the first game. It was the opener, as Barcelona took a 1-0 lead over Sevilla thanks to Messi's goal. ”

"Messi! Messi! Messi! ”

Barcelona fans are delighted. Laporta spent a lot of money to bring in Messi this summer, and Barcelona fans are not without other words. But as Laporta said, the fans are the most forgetful. As long as Messi is good enough, they will soon be able to forget about Ronaldinho, the king of Camp Nou.

After having a ball, Barcelona played much more calmly. Barcelona is already a team with a strong possession, and this advantage is even greater after taking the lead. Before the end of the game, substitute Xavi dos Santos broke through in the box and was tripped by Escud to take a penalty.

Although Messi is a newcomer, he is Barcelona's chief penalty taker. Messi calmly took the penalty kick and deceived Sevilla goalkeeper Palopu to score the second goal of the game. The first time he came on the pitch was a brace, and in just one game he was already a fan who conquered the Camp Nou.

"Joan, he's going to be a legend for Barça."

"I hope so."

Laporta doesn't have a deep affection for Messi. It's just that Messi is his main idea, and he spent Barcelona a very high transfer fee. If this transfer fails, then Laporta has only one way out. But once the transfer is successful, then he can tell the Barça members that Rosell is not the only one who will operate the transfer.

The game was won, and Messi's appearance was a success, but Rist was not optimistic about Barcelona this season. Rijkaard is really not a top coach, and Barcelona's attacking routine is so simple back and forth. And the control is not very strong, if you meet a team with a strong midfield and strong counter-attacking ability, this Barcelona team is still not an opponent.

However, Messi's successful appearance, Lister is still very satisfied. So on the way back, I turned on the computer to see what the media had to say about Messi's debut. But as soon as he opened it, Rist frowned.

Because Rist saw a message that he didn't want to see.

"Another Premier League club that has fallen into the hands of an American owner!"

Rist looked at the contents with some apprehension, and it turned out to be that Dubai International Capital had withdrawn from the acquisition of Liverpool. Because they think that the £450 million they offer is already the highest limit, and they will not invest any higher. Unlike the Abu Dhabi consortium, DIIC invests after careful calculations.

They quit and Liverpool immediately had already and Tom. Hicks and George. Gillette negotiates with two American bosses. According to media reports now, the two sides talked quickly after the meeting, and basically reached an agreement after a day or two of contact. This made Rist very angry.

Liverpool are looking for a collaborator, and this is clear to Lister. And Rist is also paying attention to this matter, until a few days ago only DIIC was qualified to cooperate with Liverpool. How did they withdraw in one day, and then came American capital. Especially Tom. Hicks and George. Gillette, the others don't know, but Rist knows these two people clearly. George. Gillette is a liar, Tom. Hicks was replaced by George. Gillette deceived Liverpool.

The capital strength of these two people is not very good at all, and they are not really top rich people in themselves. The current subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is so serious that these two scammers even went to Liverpool to cheat and cheat. Rist didn't expect that at this moment, there would be an American owner who would dare to invest in football.

Rist immediately opened the phone and called. But after saying a few words, Rist's face immediately turned pale. It's only been a few days, and things are changing so fast that I'm really a step late. (To be continued......)
