Football: Copy the peak Messi attributes at the beginning

Chapter 2 Peak Messi

"Lin, Lin, do you hear what I said?"

Seeing his friend distracted, Deulofeu waved his hand in front of his eyes and asked with confusion on his face.

"Well, I'm listening!"

Lin Quan came to his senses and replied.

Deulofeu looked unbelieving and asked curiously:

"What were you thinking just now? I called you several times and you didn't respond?"

Seeing his friend's puzzled expression, Lin Quan knew that this guy was out of curiosity.

So I found an excuse and said perfunctorily:

"I was just thinking, how many goals can Messi score this year?"

Messi is Deulofeu's idol. As soon as he heard Lin Quan mention his idol, he immediately became interested.

"I think there has to be a sixty or seventy goal, right?"

Messi scored a total of 57 goals in the 2010-2011 season, including 53 goals for the club and 4 goals for the national team.

This season's performance is obviously better than last year, so there is a high probability that the total number of goals will exceed last year's.

After hearing Deulofeu's answer, Lin Quan smiled and shook his head:

"Gerrard, isn't Messi your idol? Why are you so conservative in your predictions?"

"Conservative?"

Deulofeu looked confused. Sixty or seventy goals is still conservative?

He was very curious. In Lin Quan's opinion, how much was considered unconservative?

"So how many goals do you think Messi can score?"

"I think we can have 80 or even 90 goals!"

Lin Quan replied seriously.

"Stop joking, do you know what the world record is?"

When Deulofeu heard Lin Quan's words, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

You know, the current world record is only 85 goals.

If Messi can score 80 or 90 goals, doesn't that mean he has a chance to break the world record?

But how can this world record be so easy to break?

Gerd Müller's record was set in 1972. For 40 years, no one has been able to break it, not even close to this record.

Although Messi is great, Deulofeu simply cannot imagine that Messi can break this record.

"I know, the current world record is the 85 goals scored in a calendar year set by German player Gerd Muller at Bayern Munich in 1972!"

"But in the first five months of this year, Messi has scored 46 goals as of this game, and he is only less than 40 goals away from Gerd Muller's record."

"And this year has only been five months, and he still has a lot of time to continue to create goals. Based on his current state, I think this record is not so unattainable!"

Deulofeu was finally convinced. He started calculating the probability of Messi breaking the world record with his fingers and stopped disturbing Lin Quan.

Lin Quan withdrew his gaze from Deulofeu and looked back at the arena.

After scoring the fourth goal, Messi and other Barcelona players walked to the coaching bench to find their coach Guardiola.

"Thank you, Pep, these four goals are for you!"

Messi gave Guardiola a hug and whispered in his ear.

Guardiola patted Messi on the back hard, his eyes were a little red and his nose was a little sore.

"I thank you too, Leo, you deserve the cheers of 100,000 people at Camp Nou!"

Every detail of his four-year coaching career at Camp Nou was presented to him one by one at this moment, giving him mixed feelings.

He is a player from Barcelona's youth training. He joined Barcelona at the age of 13 and has played in Barcelona for a total of 17 years.

It can be said that most of his career was spent in Barcelona.

After retiring and becoming a coach, the first team he coached was Barcelona's B team.

It was precisely because of his outstanding coaching performance in the Barcelona B team that he won the favor of Barcelona and was quickly promoted to the head coach of the first team.

Subsequently, during his four-year coaching career with the first team, he won 3 league championships, 2 Champions League championships, 2 Copa del Reys, 3 Spanish Super Cups, 2 European Super Cups and 2 World Cups for Barcelona.

Club Cup Champion.

During the four years he coached Barcelona, ​​Barcelona fans called it the Three Dream Dynasties. It was one of the best periods in Barcelona's history.

Such brilliant achievements not only gave him a high status in the hearts of fans, but also won him the respect and love of players.

There are many good players at their peak, but not many players meet a good coach, achieve a series of results, and win a lot of championship trophies at the peak of their career.

Many Barcelona players, including Messi, especially the young players promoted from the youth training echelon by Guardiola, are very grateful to Guardiola.

Without him sending away big-name players such as Ibrahimovic and Eto'o, these young players may not have a bright future.

Without his passing and controlling tactics, Barcelona's record would not be so good.

Now, such a meritorious coach who has led them to grow and achieve brilliant results is leaving.

Many young players are very uneasy. They are worried that they will lose their place in the new coach's tactical system.

Therefore, when they saw Guardiola's true feelings revealed, they all plucked up the courage to appeal to him again:

"Stay, coach, Barcelona needs you!"

"Yes, stay, boss, we need you too!"

Guardiola's mood is a bit bitter. He has achieved great success in Barcelona and has so many outstanding players under his hands.

If conditions permit, he actually doesn't want to leave.

However, the club changed its president, Laporta left, and Rosell, who was replaced, did not have a good relationship with him.

In particular, Russell took drastic measures to eliminate dissidents in the name of reform, and even deprived the legendary Cruyff, who had made great contributions to the team, of the title of Honorary Chairman.

This made Guardiola very disgusted with Rosell, and as the club's head coach, it will be very difficult for him to do a good job without a good relationship with the club chairman.

This season has already seen signs of this happening. Some players, led by Pique, have gradually tended to escape his control.

This made Guardiola feel that this was Russell's warning to him through the words of the players, forcing him to leave.

Therefore, Guardiola decided to resign from Barcelona without agreeing on a new job.

In order to show his attitude, he is not a traitor to Barcelona, ​​but he was just forced to leave.

Therefore, when faced with trying to retain players, he could only smile and shake his head:

"Stop talking about this, kids, the game is not over yet, enjoy this game and enjoy the cheers of the fans!"

Perhaps Guardiola's refusal to retain the players had some impact on the players' mood. As a result, in the following games, Barcelona not only failed to score, but also received consecutive fouls and cards.

Tello and captain Puyol received yellow cards within five minutes of each other, and Messi also missed a single shot in the 87th minute. If this goal had been scored, he would have performed the miracle of five goals.

If it were normal times, Guardiola would definitely express his dissatisfaction on the sidelines at this time, but this time, he chose to sit on the bench of the coaching bench and calmly drink water without leaving his seat.

It was already 4-0, and there was only one minute left in the game. Including injury time, it was only four minutes. It was impossible for the opponent to make a comeback.

As long as the players don't make low-level mistakes and get red cards, everything else doesn't matter.

But even if you get a red card, it doesn't matter, because Barcelona missed the league championship early this season. They were 7 points behind Real Madrid in the standings. The win or loss in the last game did not affect the result at all.

For this kind of game with no desires and no demands, Barcelona can just play casually.

Four minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

With Messi's four goals, Barcelona defeated its local rival Espanyol 4-0 at home, ending all home games in La Liga this season.
