Metropolitan Stadium, New York, USA.

The final of the Centennial Copa America is being staged.

Crowded with people, the seats are full.

Argentina vs Chile.

The stands on all sides are full of slogans and banners cheering for Messi, but Argentina, which has the top striker in South America, is mired in the quagmire.

The 90-minute regular time was a draw.

30 minutes of extra time were tied.

The two sides went to penalties.

The atmosphere was frozen to the extreme, and the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Messi is standing in front of the penalty spot."

"Even he is going to be under a lot of pressure."

"Against a Barça team-mate, Bravo."

"Take a deep breath."

"It's not a lot of distance."

"Knock on the door!"

"Oops! The ball flew off! ”

"Messi misses the penalty!"

The audience was amazed.

Messi lowered his head and silently walked back to the center circle.

The sadness in my heart cut off the hustle and bustle of the whole stadium.

Players from both sides scored penalties one after another.

When the fifth Argentine player was twelve yards closer.

Everyone's hearts tightened.

"Biglia from Lazio, his expression is twisted, and even his eyes are trembling."

"Argentina is on the edge of a cliff at this point!"

"Wow!"

"Bravo saves the penalty!"

"It's too cruel for Argentina!"

"It's over!"

"The winner of the 2016 Centennial Copa America is the Chilean team!"

"In the Copa America final for two consecutive years, Messi's Argentina fell in front of Bravo!"

"Bravo! A goalkeeper created the myth of the Americas, he is the nightmare of all South American goalscorers. ”

"If future generations want to break his record, they will have to wait another hundred years!"

"Argentina, please don't cry for me."

"At this moment, Messi is isolated, fate is always playing tricks on him, 14 World Cups, 15 Copa America, 16 Centennial Copa America, the three major tournaments are always close at hand!"

"Messi has won everything at the club, but the trophy with the national team feels like the furthest thing in the world! It's like a mirage. ”

"Even the greatest superstars of our time experience regrets."

"How we hope to see him lift the Copa America and lift the World Cup in the near future."

"The losers will be forgotten, but Messi's Argentina team will not be forgotten!"

Messi silently walked back to the bench.

Sitting in his seat, he was stunned.

Higuain crossed his hands on his hips and his eyes were red, and he wasted another number of good opportunities created by Messi.

Why does this Serie A Golden Boot always miss goals in the World Cup finals and Copa America finals?

A thin-as-a-cicada backline, the Chilean would have been over in the 90 minutes without Mascherano's desperate return.

The Chilean team is partying.

Bravo was held high by his teammates, coaching staff, staff, and fans who rushed into the field.

At the moment, he is a hero in the hearts of Chileans.

As the main member of Mei Chuiqun, he wants to comfort Messi.

The two have a very good relationship in Barcelona in private, but they can't get out of it at all for a while.

In this historical period, the commercial influence and attention of the America's Cup have long been far less than that of the European Cup.

But Messi's influence is all over the world.

The media around the world are feeling sorry for Messi and Argentina.

A transfer news has quietly surfaced on the sub-pages of major sports media: "Manchester City officially announces the arrival of Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo. 》

Ittihad.

Pep Guardiola is giving a public interview, saying:

'Joe Hart is an Etihad legend and he is well aware of the decisions I have made and my thoughts on the goalkeeper position.

"It's not easy for Bravo to make the decision to leave a club like Barcelona."

"Messi will always be the best player in my mind, whether he wins the national team tournament or not."

Don't dare to praise Bravo.

Joe Hart's thoughts don't matter, but City's other decorated veterans need to be taken into account

The rebuilding of the Blue Moon is not something that can be done in a summer window, and no matter how rich you are, you have to find the right players.

There are already several players in City's original squad who feel they may be purged in the near future.

But the new coaching staff needs their support to help the team transition half a season or a season.

Disorderly.

Mess.

Premier League legends have pointed out that Pep Guardiola's first season in charge of Manchester City will come to nothing.

Camp Nou, small auditorium.

Enrique and Robert are being interviewed by major media outlets.

"Mr. Enrique, why did you choose to let go of Bravo, the god of the American Gate, and leave Ter Stegen behind?"

'The Barça players have been average at this European Championship and Bosque has given them the opportunity to play since the group stage.

"According to sources, Manchester City only spent €18 million to get Bravo, and it was paid in instalments."

The Barcelona manager's face darkened.

It's like it's written: I don't want to explain that much to you guys.

After adjusting his mood a little, he said slowly:

"The national team and the club are two levels of competition."

'It's a shame that Ter Stegen didn't help Germany reach the last four of the European Championships.

"The Barcelona players weren't doing well enough at the Euros? This doesn't prove anything, there are too many factors that influence. ”

"We will be bringing in a lot of reinforcements in this summer window, Barcelona are building a unique future!"

"In the Champions League next season, you will witness the greatness of Barcelona."

Barcelona, White Tower.

The façade of the building was graffitied with a swear slogan.

Cruyff, you are Barcelona's cancer cell! 》

Two painters were busy, complaining through their masks.

"Mr. Cruyff finally came back to Barcelona and that hateful extreme fans are scribbling here again!"

"It's not self-inflicted, Barcelona doesn't need a godfather now!"

"He stopped Jose Mourinho from coaching Barcelona on the board eight years ago, and he recommended his disciple Pep Guardiola, and the extreme fans almost didn't set fire to the tower!"

"This choice is right, Guardiola has created the peak dream three and created a great feat of six crowns for Barcelona!"

"Cruyff now wants Barcelona to spend all their €200 million transfer funds on bidding for Bayer Leverkusen's talented midfielder."

"Crazy, a million euros sold. 200 million euros to buy back? Did Leverkusen agree to pay in installments? ”

"Regardless of whether Lee is the crown prince of La Masia or not, if the Barcelona top brass agrees, won't they be slapping themselves in the face?"

"So it's impossible for him to return to Barcelona in his life."

"The most ironic joke in the history of football."

"Bayer Leverkusen is really cunning, Lee has not signed an endorsement contract with Nike or Adi for the time being, and no club can buy him away this summer window by advancing the sponsorship fee.

In the treetops, two blue magpies shook their branches happily.

A tender green leaf slowly fell on the white leather shoes.

Nature often allows phenomena that violate the laws of nature to occur.

Cruyff couldn't help but smile as he looked at the vicious curse slogans on the façade and listened to the two ordinary fans' acupuncture.

He had been subjected to repeated death threats from extreme Catalan fans many years ago, and he didn't care about it.

It's just that the crown prince of La Masia is afraid that he will never be able to return to Camp Nou.

Bernabeu.

Real Madrid president Florentino attended the press conference of the summer transfer window.

"With Real Madrid's current squad, it is difficult to complete reinforcements through reinforcements."

"Anything can happen before Aug. 31."

'I'm very proud of a number of players from our club who have reached the last four of the European Championships.

"Lee fits Real Madrid's temperament very well."

Lifting the frame of his glasses, Florentino's face did not show much of an emotional swing.

I can't say that I have bitterness in my heart.

Different from the previous "one superstar a year" recruitment strategy, due to the interference of many special factors, Real Madrid has readjusted the direction of recruitment in the past two years: digging demons.

But now the little demon is also expensive.

For example, the Brazilian 16-year-old prodigy Vinicius, the flamengo club made a staggering offer.

As for the 18-year-old Lee.

Damn, it feels like missing Kaka in 2002 and Ronaldinho in 2003!

'Real Madrid don't need a player like Kaka for the time being because it's hard for him to bring anything to us.

"We know very well the level of Ronaldo, but he is too ugly and will make the value of the Real Madrid brand decrease."

The half-truths and half-truths of Florentino's quotes, after many years, are still the content of fans after tea.

Ile de Ré, France, on the coast.

The Spaniards played beach volleyball.

This is a training style that Bosque has learned from the Bayern coaching staff and is very conducive to the players' relaxation before the tournament.

Li Kang and his teammates had a lot of fun.

He teamed up with David De Gea to smash the rest of his team-mates with the bouncing buff from the Sky Boom module.

I even found that the "Acclimatization" module made it easy for me to adapt to the sandy environment!

Historically, football matches in muddy sand were not uncommon.

Pine Forest.

Right.

The pine forests and sandy beaches of Koh Rai form an "alternative" landscape.

Two French journalists are sneakily filming.

"Oh my God, that Spanish kid is a monster, and the bounce on the beach is so terrifying!"

"His muscular lines. It's terrifying! It's definitely not the kind that can be practiced in an ordinary way! ”

"It's not commendable at all, no matter how physical you are, you can't break through our French midfield!"

"Damn, doesn't this kid have any quirks? These photos don't sell for much at all! ”

The other side.

Bosque is old and strong, shirtless and wearing big red pants with bells and whistles, and he is going back and forth with the coaching staff.

Mignano worried: "Boss, what if they play volleyball in the afternoon, what should they do if they consciously touch the ball with their hands on the green court?" ”

The Spanish coach laughed and said: "Who would be so stupid? ”

A moment later.

Li Kang took the dry towel handed by Isco and sat on the sail chair to rest.

"Lee, I'll help you apply sunscreen! This."

Morata immediately interrupted: "Fuck off, there are paparazzi reporters over there in the pine forest!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly handed Li Kang a bottle of water.

Diego Costa plucked Isco's leg hair hard: "It's okay, I don't mind, you can help me rub the sunscreen!" ”

Cork felt a chill and couldn't help but take a few steps back, away from the group of monsters.

Saul couldn't help but step forward and join the army of sunscreens.

Li Kang rejected the kindness of his teammates.

In this beach volleyball training, the coaching staff specially relaxed the norms for carrying mobile phones.

He unlocked the screen and took advantage of the break to continue watching the footage of the French team's game.

The uniqueness of Deschamps' tactical system is still not visible.

There are a number of problems with the co-ordination at the back.

The ability shown by French goalkeeper Lloris is still far inferior to that of Cech and Buffon for the time being.

Semi-finals, will it really be that simple?

Iniesta held a small tactical board and worried: "France have a strong midfield and if the starting duo is N'Golo Kante and Matuidi, it will be difficult for us to advance in formation. ”

Matuidi: Paris Saint-Germain's main midfielder, French Footballer of the Year in 2015, and the top scorer of the French national team in the past three years.

N'Golo Kante: The creator of the Leicester City myth and the leader of the top five leagues in steals per game.

Busquets added: "If you also count Pogba and Sissoko, this French team is still very young and a favourite to win the International Cup in the next few years, they are too hard in midfield, not bad in terms of speed and technique at their feet, my advice is."

David Silva waved his hand, interrupting the exchange between the two: "You two may not be able to play." ”

"Don't think too much about it, it's going to be a lot easier than against Germany, just play around Lee."

Cazorla raised his hand to cover the sun, squinted his eyes and said: "It is necessary to pay attention to one thing, the French team has a lot of harassment movements, and we have to try to help Lee reduce the pressure of the ball." ”

Several midfield magicians ripped off a canvas and engaged in a lively tactical discussion.

The managers of both sides have not had time to speak before the game.

The sports media in both countries are already gearing up.

A war without gunpowder is about to start!

It's night.

The French media took the lead.

The monsters of Iberia have landed on the beach of Ile de Re! 》

A few mosaic photos dominated the front page, and the text content was visually striking.

There are also several "intimate" photos of Isco and Diego Costa, which have been described as bizarre.

The Spanish media suddenly lost the interest in fighting back.

Even Marca was silent.

The fans were crazy.
