Golden Greenery

The 22-year-old Leo Messi was sitting on the grass in the penalty area, a little lonely. He once again failed to stop Kaka in the pursuit.

Kaka received Zhuoyang's diagonal pass and shot straight through Valdez's door. Messi was half a step too late in chasing after the ball. He just swept Kaká to the ground after he had completed the shooting action.

It was different from the time three years ago. That time, Messi was passively chasing, and Kaká was missed by Argentina. Messi was forced to leave his position and do something he was not good at. But this time it was Messi who took the initiative to pursue, and Barcelona's tactical system also required him to pursue his teammates to encircle him. Three years ago, Messi was already insufficiently physically fit to play the entire game, but today, just after the first ten minutes, there was no problem with being fully physically fit.

Although defense is not Messi's strong point, he still relies on his unique anticipation and extremely frequent shots to make him very good in interception and defense. In three years, Kaká has been at his peak, but Messi is no longer what he used to be. There is no longer a gap between the two like there was three years ago.

Along the way, Messi was always ready to steal the ball when Kaká caught the ball. With his current football awareness and judgment, he would never make a mistake. However, Messi still failed to do it.

In the eyes of outsiders and even Barcelona teammates, Messi once again failed to outrun Kaka, but Messi knew in his heart that the reason why he ultimately failed to chase was Zhuo Yang's pass.

The diagonal kick given by Zhuoyang did not follow the convention of leaning inside and left to facilitate Kaka's shot. Instead, he deliberately made slight adjustments to make the football line go further down and the ball speed faster. Kaka had to move half a step outward. Only when you step forward can you push with your right foot. With Kaka's technical level, this half-step had no effect on him, but this half-step made Messi's pursuit miss.

The slight change between the hairsprings turned the one-on-one chase into a one-on-one challenge between Messi and Zhuo Ka. With the combination of Zhuoyang's precise calculation and Kaka's unrivaled attack, even though he is named Messi, how can he remain undefeated?

In the 12th minute, AC Milan led 1:0, Kaká and Zhuoyang went to celebrate, and Messi sat alone on the grass.

His loneliness comes from the subtlest feeling for football and from the unparalleled football soul. Messi's cooperation with his teammates in the midfield and frontcourt is also very tacit, especially the tacit understanding with Xavi and Iniesta that has amazed the whole world. But just now Messi understood deeply that he and his teammates are far from reaching the level of excellence. Yang and Kaka are the two most powerful people.

But this gap is not due to football, nor is it that Zhuo Yang is much better than Xavi and Iniesta. The connection between Zhuo Yang and Kaka comes from their closeness off the court. This is true no matter how hard they train on the court and training ground. A realm that cannot be reached.

Ronaldinho pulled Messi up from the ground and smiled at him. Messi said to himself: If Ronnie was still at Barcelona, ​​we should be able to reach that level of cooperation!

.

Eto'o is also looking at Messi. He witnessed Kaka's goal just now, but of course he can't understand the mystery behind the goal. Eto'o can only laugh and ridicule Messi in his heart now.

The African Cheetah is the team's official center, so his tactical pressing responsibilities are not as heavy as those of the two wingers Messi and Henry. Most of the time, he is only responsible for disturbing or forcing Maldini and Pirlo, which is basically There is no need to chase back near the penalty area.

Eto'o is a very restless person. He believes that Barcelona should use himself as the core of the attack, rather than the iron triangle of Mehab in the midfield and frontcourt. When Ronaldinho was still there, Eto'o openly fought for the core, which once caused chaos in the Barcelona locker room.

With Ronaldinho's status like this, now that Messi is in full swing, how can Eto'o just sit back and watch? Moreover, Eto'o and Guardiola don't get along very well. He thinks that Guardiola discriminates against him because he is not from La Masia, while Guardiola thinks that Eto'o is a thorn in his side.

Eto'o believes that he is much more important than Messi because he has scored more goals than Messi for two consecutive seasons. In La Liga this season, Eto'o's 30 goals ranked second behind Diego Forlan, while Messi ranked fourth with only 23.

What's more, this is despite Messi getting much more support than Eto'o. Of course, this is Eto'o's own understanding, and this is not the case.

Frankly speaking, Eto'o was indeed one of the best forwards in football during this period. The fact that he has been at the top of the two award selections for several consecutive years is a good illustration. Therefore, it seems understandable that Cheetah has his arrogance. At the golden age of 28, he should strive for some status and honor for himself. In this kind of competition for fame and wealth, generally no one is right or wrong, it's just the winner and the loser.

Eto'o has decided to show off his tactical status to Guardiola after the end of the season. He must clarify his status on the court and in the locker room. Everyone, including Messi, must get used to playing support for him. Because, Eto'o feels that he has this strength.

Eto'o is very conceited, but the smartest person in Barcelona's frontcourt is Iniesta.

Xiaobai misses Zhuo Yang very much. In the League Cup that year, Zhuo Yang would rather be knocked out than to stomp on his face. They are all people who serve football. Xiaobai knows how difficult it was for Zhuo Yang at that moment in the fierce confrontation.

That year, Bordeaux Madi was eliminated from the UEFA Cup by Zhuo Yang, which not only accelerated Barcelona's renewal, but also accelerated the direct La Masia lineage represented by Iniesta and Valdés. In fact, it also indirectly accelerated the development of Messi The time when West, Busquets and others entered the first team. The same is true for Bojan, Pedro and others.

Although he did not have much contact with Zhuo Yang in the following years, Xiaobai paid close attention to Zhuo Yang's news, and his most famous breakthrough move "Fried Meatball" was learned from Zhuo Yang. However, Xiaobai didn't know that Zhuo Yang also learned from Scar Ribery.

Xiaobai is an all-around midfielder. If he was placed on other teams, he would definitely be a core organization player such as an attacking midfielder. Even in Barcelona, ​​which does not have an attacking midfielder, Xiaobai still shoulders the most organizational tasks.

After Iniesta dribbled the ball from the center to break through Beckham's blockage, he cleverly stuffed the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and the cheetah Eto'o arrived roaring. He dunked over Flamini with the first touch of the ball, as light as Kobe Bryant over Yao Ming. Before Pirlo defended and blocked, Eto'o took the lead with his right toe.

There were only seven meters away from the goal. Dida's reaction was quick enough, but the ball was deflected by his outstretched palm and rolled into the goal.

Milan only led for three minutes before Eto'o evened the score to 1:1. After the goal, Eto'o ran to the sidelines to celebrate, ignoring Messi's desire to hug him.

Did you see that? I am the savior of Barcelona in the big scenes. Not only are you not, but you are far from it!
