Chapter 52: Legacy
He said he didn't bring it, but his body was still very honest.
That night, Chen Mo and Messi had just returned to the dormitory to put down their salutes, and Iniesta, who was next door, knocked on the door with a white face, leaning against the door, nibbling on fruit in his mouth: "Hey, Mr. Guardiola told us to go to the playground in half an hour." ”
"Got it, eh, don't go, wait for me to give you a baby!"
Chen Mo pouted and squatted on the ground to sort out his clothes, turned his head to look at Iniesta, and then immediately took out a gray beret from the suitcase, and ran to him: "Na, the gift I brought you in Japan, try to see if you like it or not." ”
"For me?"
"Of course, it was black that was supposed to be brought to you, but that one was taken away by Mr Guardiola in advance. Eh, anyway, if you have a white face, it's good to wear gray. ”
Gift, Iniesta obviously didn't expect it, his eyes widened, there was some longing in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head arrogantly: "I'm not interested in these things, you can take it back." ”
"Oops, awkward, like a."
"What, I said no... Hey, hey, don't do it! I'll just take it! ”
The two fought, and finally Iniesta put on a beret, and Chen Mo stood in front of him with a small round mirror, "Hey, die tsundere, aren't you tired." Isn't it handsome to wear? ”
It's quite handsome, looking at himself in the mirror, Iniesta was a little happy, but quickly put on a straight face: "Don't think that I'll release water on you during training!" ”
"Don't worry, I'd love to see you do your best. Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I want to show you, and I almost forgot about it. Chen Mo ran back to the suitcase, took out a golden trophy, and glanced at Iniesta in his arms: "Can you understand the Japanese on it?" ”
"What?"
"In the 2000 Nike Hope Cup, the Most Valuable Player in the Finals - Chen Mo. Do you have this thing? ”
“.... You! ”
The trace of friendship that had just risen in Iniesta's heart was shattered in an instant, and the little white face turned red and threw the door away.
"Haha, I said you, why do you keep stimulating him."
Iniesta left, Messi finally couldn't help it, laughed on the sofa, Chen Mo shrugged, and said with a strange smile: "This kid is not old next year, but he always likes to pretend to be old-fashioned, can it stimulate him?" Besides, if you don't stimulate him, what if he can't train later, I'm still counting on stealing his croquettes. ”
"You..."
"Okay, okay, let's change our clothes and go to the playground for training."
.
Things developed as Chen Mo expected, and in the evening solo training, Iniesta played extra serious and hard.
Every time he gets the ball, he wants to eat people, but Chen Mo wants Iniesta like this, the stronger the confrontation and the harder he plays, the more experience he learns from Iniesta. In addition to Iniesta, who was stimulated by the [Most Valuable Player of the Finals] trophy, there was also an extra big man in the special training at night - Enrique.
Guardiola said that he would not bring him, but in fact the two came to the playground together.
The addition of Enrique did not change the mode of play, it was still two or three in the small penalty area, but it became Guardiola and Enrique taking turns.
"Hey, hey, hey! That's all you can do? You're still the Most Valuable Player in the Finals, I think you're obviously a big parallel commodity! ”
In an offensive round between Chen Mo and Messi, Chen Mo just received the ball from Messi, and the whole person was instantly squeezed out of the penalty area by Enrique. Enrique looked down at Chen Mo, spewing trash talk in his mouth, and roaring loudly, and many young players around him looked sideways.
Chen Mo didn't say anything, just threw the ball to Xavi and switched to a defensive position.
Guardiola, who was squatting and drinking water on the sidelines, shook his head amusefully when he saw this scene, "I obviously said that I wanted to keep the children in love with football, but now I am so messy again." ”
As Enrique's former rival and current team-mate, Pep Guardiola knows Enrique too well, and if he himself is the kind of player who can be very irritable and even a little verbose when discussing tactics off the field, once on the pitch he will become calm and short and forceful.
Then Enrique is the opposite, Enrique is usually very easy to deal with, but when he comes on the field, he will be very crazy. As a midfielder with a very aggressive personality and style of play, he will use any means within the rules to provoke the opponent and oppress the opponent, like an aggressive bull!
Guardiola's heart Chen Mo couldn't hear it, but he felt the difference between Enrique and Guardiola with his body.
Pep Guardiola likes to stay behind and only attack when he sees the opponent's intentions, while Enrique is more direct, giving a very strong physical confrontation whenever the attacking player has the ball.
Under Enrique's high-intensity pressing, Chen Mo was embarrassed every time he touched the ball, and the consumption of physical energy far exceeded that of the final with Bayern, and in the end, his legs were even a little unstable, and Enrique did not have a trace of mercy, he would still use the power of adults to oppress Chen Mo, and chatter and mock after destroying the goal.
Soon, the two-hour special training in the evening ended.
Guardiola and Enrique left with their tracksuits on their shoulders, and Xavi and Iniesta also left.
Sweaty Chen Mo and Messi sat on the lawn blowing the evening breeze, looking at the silent Messi, Chen Mo lay on the lawn and smiled: "Stimulated by Mr. Louis's trash talk?" ”
"Well, it's the first time I've met such a noisy opponent...."
Messi scratched his head, Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry too much, the intention he wants to express is actually very simple, it is nothing more than to exercise our ability to resist pressure, after all, we are going to play professional games in the future, and the words of those opponents are probably much worse than Mr. Luis." However, the pressure on Mr. Luis was so great that I had some leg cramps after two hours of training. ”
"yes, I thought I was very good, but it turned out.... was abused by blood, and he couldn't do it one-on-one. ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Luiz is the world's top all-round midfielder, and his defensive attributes are absolutely first-class, if you think about him, you must think too much."
"Yes."
"Okay, okay, go back to the shower and sleep, damn it, I was hit on the shoulder a few times, it hurt."
.
While Chen Mo and Messi went back to the bedroom to sleep, on the other side, the streets of Barcelona were swaying in the evening breeze.
Pep Guardiola rubbed his hands together and smiled: "How are you feeling today?" ”
Enrique took a sip of mineral water, nodded and said: "It's not bad, I played through the high-intensity La Liga Champions League, and I came to play with the children, which is very comfortable." ”
"And what do you think of that kid?"
"Which one?"
Enrique teased, and Guardiola smiled awkwardly: "It's Chen Mo, his style of play is actually very similar to yours." ”
"So what?"
"Do you want to teach him a few tricks?"
"Huh, finally said it? As soon as the game was over, you took me to run and pretend to hitchhike, knowing that you were not in a good mood. ”
Enrique glanced at him and said, "By the way, what do you have to do with that child?" Why are you so concerned? ”
As soon as these words came out, Guardiola was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually deepened: "I will be ready to leave Barcelona next year." ”
"What?!"
Enrique's eyes widened, and Guardiola shrugged his shoulders with a sincere expression: "You know my injury, in a high-intensity league like La Liga, it has been difficult for me to maintain a high level of performance. Rather than dragging the club down or getting swept away, I might as well leave on my own. Merely... I started my football career with Mr. Cruyff and I wouldn't be where I am today without his unpaid coaching and promotion, so I know how important a legacy is for a club. Now that I'm leaving, I hope to leave something for the club. Chen Mo.. I love this exciting and talented little guy, his playmaking is very similar to my style, but on the defensive end, he's completely different from me, he's very aggressive, iron-willed, and likes to look for physical confrontations, which you should have just discovered. I'm not good at these things. And you're different, you're an iron-blooded matador! It's an area you're well versed in, so... I hope you can help him. ”
The words were very sincere, and Enrique, after the initial surprise, gave Guardiola a complicated look.
"I see, this thing... Just repay me for taking care of me when I first came to Barcelona. ”
"Haha, that's great!"
