Win or lose, it doesn't matter.

This was the first time Xia Xing had heard this sentence from Carrick's mouth.

He knew that this was Carrick's way of relieving himself of stress.

As long as it's a football game, how can it be that winning or losing doesn't matter?

Football is a battle in peacetime.

As long as it's a battle, you have to fight for it!

Xia Xing exhaled lightly and turned his head to look at Carrick.

'No matter what our situation is, I have a lot of confidence in the team. And I will definitely do my best to win! ”

During this training session, Carrick was distracted from time to time.

Phelan stabbed him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?" What do you think? ”

Carrick looked in the direction of the court: "That guy, what a wizard, at least a superstar who is rare to see in ten years. ”

Needless to say, Ferran understood in his heart: "Ten years? I think at least thirty years! If you think about it, although Messi and Ronaldo are super strong, they are not without players of the same type, and the strongest of the two of them cannot be said to be individual skills, but a continuous and stable career, and enough strong club strength. ”

Carrick nodded, "yes, I think so too. If players like Ronaldo, Adriano, Shevchenko and Thierry Henry can have the conditions of Melo, then they can definitely become supergiants. Rarely injured, a healthy work ethic, good team-mates, these are the necessary conditions for Melo to be able to create an era. ”

Phelan pointed in the direction of the pitch: "But think about him, what does he have?" Is there enough of the right career plan? No, he was a discarded player for Manchester United, and even had to go to the Championship, but in the end, it was not the Leicester miracle that led the team. Although the Blue Foxes players are good, can they be as good as Barcelona and Real Madrid players? Definitely far from it. ”

Carrick's eyes were full of appreciation: "This young man is talented, talented enough, and has no weaknesses in both offense and defense, and has excellent physical fitness, which is not like an earthling, with a great professional attitude, humble and low-key." With such a perfect character, character and technique, I can't think of anyone else who can compare to him. Beckenbauer? Cruyff? Or is it some other supergiant? Anyway, in this day and age, no one is better than him, and he is simply amazing. ”

Speaking of this, Phelan sighed softly, with some regret: "His only weakness is his national team resume, if it weren't for this reason, no matter where he joined, he would have become a legend." If he could be part of the England national team, I even think he would be the next champion! ”

Carrick agreed: "Yes, I can't believe what a superstar like this will become in world football in the England national team, anyway, the odds to win the World Cup will help England definitely top three." ”

Phelan leaned back: "This young man, it's amazing. Even if he doesn't have national team honors, he is still the embryo of the football king. Now he is only a little bit away from the king of the ball. ”

On the topic of the king of the ball, Phelan and Carrick are very optimistic about Xia Xing.

However, in today's international football, the new king is still considered by most people to be produced in Melo.

The club honours of the two have reached their peak, and who can become the new king will depend on who can win more national team honours.

Anyway, now Ronaldo is already ahead, and the honor of leading Portugal to win the European Championship in 2016 has overtaken Messi.

Even if Messi wins the Copa America, it will only be a tie.

If Messi wants to be king, then there is only one way to win the World Cup.

It's hard, but it's not impossible.

Messi still has the 2022 World Cup to fight for.

The current Xia Xing is still too young to be a candidate for the king of the ball, and can only be regarded as the successor of Melo.

However, some people do not agree with this statement.

On the evening of April 11, the Camp Nou was brightly lit.

Countless fans gathered here in anticipation of this much-anticipated battle.

Although Manchester United have not been in good form this season, they are the defending champions after all, and their quality should not be underestimated.

And they also have two Ballon d'Or winners, and the collision between him and Messi is also a scene that fans are happy to see.

Although they are both the stars of their respective teams, the relationship between the two has always been good.

Warming up before the game, the two chatted amicably on the court.

Although there are not many personal relationships, the two have been friends for a long time.

The two sides have even met more often in business than on the football field.

Seeing Xia Xing again today, Messi's eyes were still full of appreciation.

"Xia, are you interested in coming to Barcelona?"

"Hehe, Leo, you have to come here every time we meet."

"I really appreciate you and if you can come to Barcelona, I will do my best to help you."

"Really?"

"Seriously! You Manchester United are not in a good situation right now, Mourinho, who will use you the most, has also been out of class, so it is definitely a good choice for you to come to Barcelona. I'll be your wingman, I'm serious. ”

"Hehe, don't make a fuss. Let you be my wingman, Barcelona fans must not scold me to death. You know, a lot of fans think of me as your successor. ”

Hearing Xia Xing's words, Messi's expression became serious, and he looked at Xia Xing with a serious expression: "Xia, you have never been my successor, I always think so." You're not the second Messi, you're the first xia. Your talent, strength and character are respectable, and your comprehensive strength even surpasses me, I didn't say anything polite to you, seriously! You're great, you're going to create a new era! ”

Looking at the serious Messi and listening to the sincere invitation, Xia Xing was a little moved in his heart.

Now, though, he hasn't considered leaving.

So in the face of Messi's praise and invitation, he just smiled back and didn't answer anymore.

Messi also expected this, it doesn't matter, anyway, Xia is still young, and he will often lobby him in the future, and sooner or later he will come to Barcelona.

The two supergiants shook hands in good friendliness and turned to walk towards their own camp.

In this game, both sides fielded all their main players.

Goalkeeper David De Gea,
