Football: Take away half of Boss Mei's skills at the beginning

After returning to the hotel, Mateo lay on the bed and began to think carefully about his gains.

Now there is a small halo in his mind, with a gray Messi head inside and the words 50% marked below.

It seems that this is where 50% of Messi's 50% football skills are stored.

As for why it is gray...

It must be because the current proficiency is zero.

In fact, think about it, how can a little player who plays as a central defender under ten years old have anything in common with a little quick spirit who plays as a winger?

So now that he has obtained this 50% skill package, it is of no use to him for the time being.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, Mateo returned to Italy with his mother.

He is still a student and a part-time echelon player, so he naturally can't stay in Spain for a long time.

And this adventure didn't seem to change his life.

However, after a few days of study and training, he suddenly found that the gray head of Messi in his mind lit up a very faint little point.

And there was another number next to it, 1%.

He finally understood that this proficiency required constant training to improve!

This made him excited.

As long as he could keep training, he would be able to improve this proficiency one day!

On Wednesday night, European football ushered in another focus battle, and the two sides were still Real Madrid and Barcelona!

This was a King's Cup final, and the two old rivals met for the second time in four days.

This is undoubtedly a happy thing for the fans, but it is hard for the players.

After all, this high-intensity game is a huge test for their physical fitness.

In this game, Real Madrid lined up a 433 formation, with Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Carvalho and Marcelo forming the back line, the three midfielders were Pepe, Khedira and Xabi Alonso, and the front three were Erdog, Di Maria and Ronaldo.

Barcelona also used 433, with Pinto, Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Adriano, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Messi and Villa as the starting lineup.

Both sides are very familiar with each other, so the game started at a very fast pace.

Mourinho's strategy is very simple, which is to use the stranglehold of the midfield to create opportunities for the frontcourt.

This also gave them some advantages in the first half.

But unfortunately, they never scored a goal.

On the Barcelona side, because Real Madrid adopted a very aggressive strategy, their ball transmission was very unsmooth, and they never got too many good opportunities.

The two most watched players on both sides also performed completely differently in the first half of the game.

Ronaldo was fully involved in the frontcourt, using his running and personal ability to tear up many offensive opportunities for Real Madrid.

Except for not scoring, his performance was still very eye-catching.

Messi was not very excited in this game. He did not get the ball many times and had even fewer opportunities to perform.

The best scoring opportunity for both sides in the first half came from Pepe, who jumped high and headed the ball after receiving a cross from Erdog in the 43rd minute. Unfortunately, the ball hit the post and bounced out, and Barcelona escaped.

Overall, Real Madrid was more active in the first half, and it seems that Mourinho's strategy was correct.

However, whether they can persist in this high-intensity pressing for 90 minutes is the winner of the game.

Barcelona's overall state is average, and they are in urgent need of adjustment.

Fans also hope that Messi can get back to his form in the second half and give them a more exciting game.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona really started to speed up, and their offensive opportunities also increased significantly.

However, what puzzled the fans was that the team's top star Messi was not excited, which made Barcelona lose a siege weapon.

Until the 68th minute, Messi finally got a good chance.

After he got the ball in the frontcourt, he cooperated with Villa and then got a long shot opportunity in front of the penalty area.

He drew his bow and arrow, swung his left foot and shot!

Then...

The ball flew high out of the baseline.

The key is that the ball was not only high, but also off-center. Casillas said that if he moved, it would be disrespectful to the ball.

Even the commentator couldn't help but complain that the ball was really substandard.

And Mateo in front of the TV couldn't help but say to his father next to him: "Dad, this ball is really bad!"

Alessandro Lucarelli smiled and said: "Everyone makes mistakes!"Since Parma did not play in the middle of the week, the father and son could also enjoy the game together.

And the game is still going on.

In the 85th minute, Messi got another good chance. This time he broke through the front court and entered the penalty area. After observing Villa's running position, he chose to pass the ball horizontally.

But the strength of this pass was not controlled well, and it was sent directly to Casillas' arms!

This made Villa a little incredible. This ball should be able to be passed to the right place if his grandmother passed it, right?

Messi's state in this game seems to be really bad!

Barcelona, ​​who missed this opportunity, did not get any good opportunities in the following time, and the two sides entered overtime.

In overtime, Ronaldo ushered in his performance time.

In the 103rd minute, he received Di Maria's cross, jumped high in the penalty area, and rewritten the score to one to zero with a header!

And this goal ultimately determined the outcome of the game.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 1-0 in the King's Cup final and won the King's Cup!

After the game, the performance difference between the top stars of the two teams also became the focus of media attention.

On one side, Ronaldo scored the winning goal with a powerful attack, while Messi was sluggish throughout the game with high-altitude cannons and outrageous passes. In this game, the difference between the two sides was obvious.

However, most people think that Messi's slump is only caused by the tight schedule and Mourinho's proper defensive arrangement, and he will soon recover.

But they never expected that in the next league game, Messi would have a big one.

Three days later, Barcelona ushered in the challenge of Osasuna at home.

Osasuna is now ranked 16th in the league and is a team in the relegation zone.

Facing such a weak team, Barcelona should have a relatively easy victory.

Guardiola also planned to let Messi play in the first half to find his form, and then replace him early to save energy after securing the victory.

As a result, Messi's performance in the game surprised him.

In the game, his breakthroughs were still sharp, often disrupting the opponent's defense.

But...

His subsequent handling seemed very amateur.

Either he shot the plane, or his pass was ridiculously off.

This made his teammates a little confused. What on earth is Messi doing?

In the 35th minute, he once again received Xavi's through pass into the penalty area, but when facing the opponent's goalkeeper, he made another strange shot that missed the goal.

This made Guardiola on the sidelines so angry that he knelt on the grass, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Mateo, who was watching the game in front of the TV, was also a little strange. A sentence suddenly popped up in his mind: "Dribble like Messi, shoot like Heskey?"
