149. Bundesliga: The Battle for the Peak
In order to celebrate Messi's arrival, Dortmund officially held a very grand press conference.
Almost all of Europe's media arrived.
This is the face of the King of Balls.
Although, he is thirty-five years old.
However, just won the World Cup last year, Messi is still the top traffic in football sports journalism.
Of course, because of age, the competitive state, especially the physical fitness, is definitely not so good, and it is not good to play the whole game.
But it's okay to play a good ball in the half.
That's what the manager is planning to do.
Moreover, it is really cheap, the price of the loan, not even a tenth of Messi's peak.
It can be called good quality and low price.
This money, just selling jerseys, is enough to earn back.
For the brand value of Dortmund Club, it is a huge boost.
Only a wealthy family deserves such a superstar!
β¦β¦
At the press conference.
Chu Chao and Messi attended at the same time.
Chu Chao was still wearing the captain's armband.
In any case, his captain's position is stable, even if Messi comes, it is impossible to snatch it.
The world of football is similar to martial arts.
Bullying the old does not bully the young.
In the next ten years, it will be Chu Chao's year, and his personal ability and economic value are the highest.
And Messi, three years at most, will definitely retire.
All he can do is help him get around.
During the press conference.
Whether on or off the field, Messi's style is as humble as ever, and his answers to various questions are also very official.
It's nothing more than those who are happy to join Borussia Dortmund and I'm going to help the team win.
The reporters couldn't ask anything at all.
As a result, they all regarded Chu Chao as a breakthrough.
Everyone knows that Chu Chao has always been known for being unruly.
Even Mbappe, Chu Chao is completely true now, and he dares to say anything.
From Chu Chao, it is definitely the birthplace of explosive news.
"Chu, do you think Messi's arrival will pose a threat to your position?"
A reporter from the team newspaper asked an extremely pointed question.
Chu Chao glared at him.
"Will your co-workers lose their jobs? You're stupid like a groundhog! I now think that maybe you're going to be unemployed, if you keep asking questions that are as boring and ridiculous as a three-year-old. Next! β
Reporter:......
Touching the nose in embarrassment.
The reporter next to him couldn't help but let out a brisk laugh.
Chu's mouth is actually quite suitable for being a reporter.
Then.
A familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Chu Chao.
His expression even looked a little ...... Hidden bitterness.
Like an abandoned boudoir woman, her fat lips are pursed, and a bearded, sturdy man in his forties is cute like a little girl here.
Chu Chao: ......
After taking a look, I suddenly remembered, and for a while, my eyes couldn't help but be extremely weird.
Ian!
London old licking dog, super big wrong, Ian!
"Chu, I don't pay attention to Messi today, I only focus on you."
"Didn't you say yes to the Premier League?"
"You deceived me and deceived our feelings."
Ian grunted.
Chu Chao: ......
I really want to put a sock in your mouth!
"Ian, when you face your wife who is determined to divorce you, you should have the same expression and posture, right?"
"Hey, my old North Nose, be open-minded, life is full of countless choices, don't hang yourself from a tree."
"The intensity of the Premier League game is so great, there are almost no holidays, and I think, I'm still a minor, and the law on the protection of minors won't allow it."
Chu Chao teased him and made another joke.
Ian:......
The reporters burst out laughing again.
Ian, a sports reporter, is also quite famous in the circle.
It's certainly not a particularly positive image.
More like a clown.
And also a public clown.
Anyone can tease a few words.
"Chu, what do you expect from the upcoming battle for the top spot between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich?"
Hearing this topic, Chu Chao's heart perked.
Finally someone asked the point.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Chao said with a smile: "There is no doubt that we will definitely win!" Imagine what a wonderful picture it would be if there were two Messis in a team at the same time? β
"Two Messis!"
When he said this, Chu Chao reached out and put his arm around Messi's shoulder, looking like a pair of close friends.
Although, it doesn't look like it at all.
Moreover, Chu Chao is much taller than Messi, much more handsome, and much younger.
Messi himself smiled sheepishly.
Chu Chao said that his emotional intelligence is still very high, and he not only praised Messi, but also improved his level.
The reporter's eyes lit up, he snapped the photo, and instantly figured out the headline of the news story to be published.
- If a team has two Messis!
This Chu, he is really, very talented!
It's not just the talent of the football field!
β¦β¦
After the press conference.
Messi also has a better understanding of Chu Chao's cheerfulness and extroversion.
It doesn't look like a Chinese person at all.
Chu Chao's personality is actually more like his old rival Ronaldo.
However, even Ronaldo, at this age, is far from reaching Chu Chao's current level, and Ronaldo at that time was just a bucktoothed and shy teenager, and he had not yet reached the stage of "bad boy" after becoming famous.
It is hard to imagine that Chu Chao is not yet eighteen years old.
But he is about to pass the bad boy stage and go in the direction of "domineering president".
"Leo, you didn't blame me for stealing the limelight from you at the press conference, right?"
As he walked towards the backstage, Chu Chao asked with a smile.
Messi pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head slightly.
These, for him, have long been nothing.
He has long been honored and starry.
As long as he stood there, no one could ignore his presence.
"I have a small request."
Chu Chao saw that he didn't care, so he became more and more inch-inch, and said directly.
Messi is a person like a girl, with a shy personality, as long as he doesn't mess with him and shows a friendly attitude, most of the time, there is no problem.
"What?"
Messi couldn't help but ask.
"I want to ...... If you assist me in the next game against Bayern, can you carry me after I score? β
"It's like, once you, lying on Ronaldinho's broad, solid back."
It was one of the most iconic images in the history of football.
After the fledgling Messi scored a goal on his debut, Ronaldinho, the absolute big brother in the Barcelona team at that time, directly carried Messi, and Messi was carried on his back, with shy and shy eyes and a bright smile.
But it seems to symbolize the handover of football dynasties.
This requirement......
Messi was really stunned by the question.
He was not very willing in his heart, because he was not so familiar with Chu Chao.
What's more, he didn't think that Chu Chao would be his successor.
In the club, how can there be a successor who says that?
Only the national team has it.
Under the same nationality, the old-timers will support the newcomers without reservation.
And this ...... And that's what Ronaldinho is best about.
He's from Brazil, Messi is from Argentina, but he's giving Messi unbeatable ...... Cosset.
"How?"
"Is that okay?"
"I'm sure you will, you're going to pass on the love, it's the spirit of football, the great spirit of football, and even decades from now, people will remember it."
Chu Chao continued to bewitch.
Looking at Chu Chao's sincere and expectant eyes, Messi hesitated, but still broke the prejudice of nationality in his heart, and nodded slightly.
But he said, "If you can actually score." β
He was selfless.
Because he has also been treated selflessly.
Chu Chao stretched out a hand.
'Definitely a brilliant goal, worthy of your goal, a tribute to you, I promise, a goal that I want to pay tribute to.'
Messi shrugged and nodded wordlessly.
β¦β¦
The next preparation time.
Messi is quickly adapting to the style and rhythm of the team.
At first, he didn't really fit in.
As many people commented, Messi is a Barcelona system player, the whole team feeds cakes, and creates one.
However, it was the BarΓ§a era.
After the run-in in Paris, he has long adjusted his positioning, and the position has begun to be more biased towards the midfielder, or the forward midfield.
Although he is not very good at running, the experience of the veteran and his ability to read the game are reflected very well.
His own ability to get rid of the ball, as well as his unique passing, is also what Chu Chao needs most at the moment.
Chu Chao is very clear:
In the game, Messi came, which was equivalent to liberating himself.
You don't have to make your own cakes.
but to be the one who eats the bread.
Bellingham, Reuss, and Reina's ability to make cakes is obviously not as good as Messi's.
As for......
Messi won't defend?
Doesn't matter!
That's what you're good at!
It's just a matter of running a few extra steps.
If you really want to let him defend, Chu Chao himself is not at ease.
Thereupon......
After about a week of adjustments, Messi quickly found his niche at Dort.
He felt that he and Chu Chao had formed two of the strongest fulcrums in the frontcourt, and they were horns of each other.
Two people, each with the ability to dribble one-to-many, also have the vision to pass the deadly ball, and also have the ability to kill with one blow and win the game.
It's pretty cool.
Super cool.
Messi's feeling for Chu Chao is that Chu Chao has a body no less than Suarez, no less than Neymar's speed, although it is not as expensive as Neymar, but it is more practical.
Moreover, he also found that Chu Chao was now imitating his cadence and rhythm.
For these, Messi has no reservations and is open to pointing.
As long as you can learn it, you can learn it well.
It's no secret anyway, the videos of the competition are all public.
It's nothing more than that, if I personally guide you, you will learn faster.
Chu Chao felt that his progress was also fast.
The invincible body, coupled with the full-level skill, is equivalent to the internal force of Xiao Wuxianggong.
Now, it's nothing more than practicing one more set of moves.
From descending the dragon to the eighteen palms, to starting to practice Ling Bo microstep.
β¦β¦
The improvement of the team is in everyone's eyes.
This Dort ......
Now it feels like Real Madrid in his prime.
The two wings, Moukoko and Adeyemi, are both extremely fast forwards, with strong single-point breakthrough ability and sufficient physical strength.
Fly with both wings.
Midfielder, more akin to a diamond position.
Chu Chao is the point at the front.
Bellingham and Reina form a midfield duo with both offense and defense.
Messi, on the other hand, is in the middle of the diamond, responsible for planning and scheduling.
When the team moved to the defense, Messi became the point hanging at the front.
At the same time, Chu Chao will make full use of his physical strength and speed advantage to run through the diamond-shaped area of the entire midfield.
Messi strengthened Chu Chao's offense.
Chu Chao, on the other hand, made up for Messi's defense.
Such a lineup has gradually become complete and clear in the intra-team games.
Coach Terzic is full of confidence!
It's almost the perfect lineup!
He felt that it was necessary for him to shift his focus, and the league was already a piece of cake.
The real main course, it's the Champions League!
This squad, perhaps, is there any hope of winning the Champions League?
If he does, he will be the most decorated coach in Dortmund's history!
After all, the league championship has not been won in ten years.
β¦β¦
When the lineup is run-in to the point where it can be a battle.
In the ninth round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich finally kicked off.
Dort's home turf.
This is the most eye-catching game in the Bundesliga at the moment.
It can be said that Mars hit the Earth.
At present, the two teams have won all the first eight rounds of games, with the same number of points, but Dort has more goal difference and is temporarily in first place.
With the strength of these two teams, they are always the perennial leaders and second in the league, and the other teams are not enough to watch.
It is no exaggeration to say that this game will determine who is really the first in the first half of the league.
The game will be held at 5 p.m. on Sunday.
The weather is neither hot nor cold, the temperature and light are just right, there is no backlight party.
Domestic.
With a seven-hour time difference, it's 0:00 a.m.
In this game, because of Messi's attendance and Chu Chao as teammates, it has long been hot on domestic social media.
There is even a faint feeling that during the World Cup, the whole people are discussing football.
Most of the time, the game time of the European league is very unfriendly to domestic fans, and no one can watch every game.
However, for a key game like this, the ratings are still very impressive.
At the moment, CCTV's broadcast station.
He Wei is already warming up before the opening.
"Two years ago, Wu Lei scored a goal against Barcelona. Many people think that Wu Lei can blow that ball for a lifetime, and I think so too. In fact, it is true, after that, Wu Lei was called the king of martial arts by many fans. β
"And now, Chu Chao is teammates with Messi on the field, he is also Messi's captain, and the two will face the powerful Bayern Munich ...... hand in hand"
"This game is really a lifetime series, because Messi is about to retire, which is a symbol of the times. Perhaps, many years from now, we will remember. β
"How will Chu Chao behave? I'm really looking forward to it, not asking for much, scoring one, at least one, preferably with Messi's assist. β
"Of course, there will be many more opportunities for them to work together in the next competition, but the first time is always the best. Hopefully get off to a good start. β
He Wei said very emotionally.
In the picture in the live broadcast room, there is a poster of Messi and Chu Chao accounting for one-half each.
World Ball King + Chinese Striker!
β¦β¦
Live in the stands.
Lu Yan and Bai Xiaolu, each wearing a yellow jersey, were captured by the camera several times in the south stand of Westphalian Stadium because of their outstanding appearance.
Bai Xiaolu was wearing Chu Chao's No. 17 jersey.
Lu Yan wore Messi's No. 30 jersey.
The position of the two is very high, and they have completely integrated into this yellow ocean, following the fans of the Hornet, playing human waves.
"Dort's fan atmosphere, it's so good!"
Lu Yan stuck to Bai Xiaolu's ear and said very loudly.
It's not loud, it's not audible at all.
Bai Xiaolu smiled and yelled at her, "I'm used to it!" I watch every game! Sometimes on the players' side of the area, sometimes in the south stand! β
Lu Yan: ......
Flaunt.
You are showing off nakedly.
She looked at the bench players' rest area, and suddenly found that a blonde German girl, also wearing Chu Chao's No. 17 jersey, was jumping on the sidelines, like a cheerleader.
So she pointed it out to the white fawn.
"Who's that?"
White Fawn: ......
The smile froze.
Beth, German Little Tea Tea!
The smile was like a pass, and it was transmitted back to Lu Yan's face.
β¦β¦
on the field.
Midline.
Chu Chao was already standing there, ready to kick off, while chatting casually with Messi.
"Before...... How does it feel to lose five in a row? β
Messi: ......
He looked at Chu Chao speechlessly.
Because of his age, in fact, he is relatively old now, and he is not so jumpy, so he will not jump out in the first place.
But Chu Chao can always use the most provocative tone to stimulate his mood swings.
Barcelona......
I really often can't beat Bayern.
For a while, Barcelona once suffered from Bayern phobia, and the worst record was five consecutive defeats.
It started with a man, Pep Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola was a former Barcelona player and later became the head coach of Barcelona, helping Barcelona to complete the treble in his first season in charge, and then to complete an unprecedented six-time title.
After helping Barcelona win another Champions League title, Pep Guardiola chose to leave Barcelona and go to ...... Bayern Munich.
Therefore, in his eyes, the Barcelona team is almost transparent.
When Pep Guardiola was in charge of Bayern, each of them was the master, the relationship between the two teams can be imagined.
The head of the family rebelled, took the highest martial arts of the whole faction, and turned to another family!
It's like such a script.
Of course, that's all in the past now.
However, it is still one of Messi's deepest memories.
Setbacks and pains are far more impressive than success and glory.
Chu Chao watched his expression change, knowing that he had poked him again and again in his sore spot, he wanted to laugh inexplicably, and then patted him on the shoulder with a big grin.
"Rest assured...... Now with me, I will take you flying. β
Messi: ......
The referee blew the whistle.
The competition is officially on!
