Golden Greenery

More than a hundred years ago, there was a football club in England named 'Corinthians' who traveled across the ocean to play in Brazil. At that time, there were already professional clubs in the UK, but Corinthians was still just an amateur golf club. . At that time, British sailors had just spread football to Brazil, and people there were quickly becoming interested in the sport.

The English club Corinthians went on a rampage in Brazil, defeating six of the best teams in Brazil at the time and winning six games in a row. Corinthians were regarded as idols by the Brazilians, and many clubs would be named after them in the future.

A hundred years have passed by in a hurry, and England's "Corinthians" have long disappeared into the dust of history without a trace. However, in the football kingdom of Brazil, there are many clubs with "Corinthians" in their names, including famous giants and some. There are many low-level small clubs. São Paulo State SC Alagno-Corinthians is one such club that survives in the second and third state leagues all year round.

Although the club is small and does not have much honor, SC Corinthians, who are good at management, have sold players all over the world, from China to Germany, from America to Asia. Among them, there are three most famous players: Deco, Pepe, Marcelinho.

In the past few years, in order to make up for the mistakes of the Zidane + Pavin policy, Real Madrid invested in the acquisition of well-known football defenders every year, including Samuel, Woodgate, Cannavaro, Ramos, and Metzelder. , these people were all top-notch players at the time. However, the most expensive one was the little-known Portuguese-Brazilian Pepe. In 2007, Barcelona used the same money to package Henry and Toure for 30 million.

In 2006, the head coach of the Brazilian national team, Deng Gaili, strongly invited Pepe to join the Brazilian national team, but he refused. At the suggestion of his good friend Deco, Pepe, who has dual nationality, chose Portugal. At that time, big bosses such as Figo and Rui Costa were very repulsive to outsiders like them. At that time, Pepe still had thick hair.

Pepe is undoubtedly one of the best man-markers in today's football. In fact, he still does man-marking work as a defensive midfielder. Pepe is top-notch in terms of defensive anticipation, advance movement, and positioning. But from Zhuoyang's perspective, although Pepe is good, he is not necessarily better than Pique or Pengpeng, and he is much worse in terms of defensive overall view. Excellent, but not outstanding.

Detu said: That's because you have never seen him split himself into a beast. The crazy Peipei can prevent anyone from dying, including you, Zhuoyang.

Zhuo Yang would not believe this completely. Although Detu never lied, Zhuo Yang would never believe that someone in football could completely target him, because no one had ever done it.

In the 54th minute, Messi got the ball on the front sideline, but referee Fernandez blew the whistle and Messi returned the ball from the offside position. Boss Mei was a little annoyed. He finally sprinted over and made a beautiful sudden braking turn to stop the ball firmly. All his efforts were in vain. Messi kicked the football into the stands, startling Pepe who was chasing after him and was about to grab the ball.

Messi looked at Pepe proudly, and when his anger was aroused, Pepe threw himself in Messi's face: "Are you crazy?"

"Then bite me~" Messi was originally a mellow child, but as the saying goes: If you follow a wild cat, it will call spring.

Peipei was so angry that she shouted: "You damn naughty boy!"

"You are ugly!"

"You're an Argentinian flea!"

"You are a Portuguese bald ass!"

Although Messi is trying to argue with each other, his short stature puts him at a natural disadvantage in terms of momentum in the quarrel, especially in one-on-one situations. Pepe forced Boss Mei to retreat step by step.

"I'll eat you alive in one bite!"

"Try eating one..."

It’s not unusual for anyone to argue with someone during a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Everyone just followed the procedure and gathered around to break up the fight or make noises. Zhuo Yang, who was the nearest, rushed over and stretched out his hand to stop Pepe.

"Okay, let's make a fuss, let's break up." We have gotten together a few times, and we have developed some friendship.

Unexpectedly, Pepe suddenly became ill. He opened his eyes and opened his mouth and turned the target directly: "What are you talking about? I will eat you in one bite!"

Zhuo Yang: "..."

"I'll eat you all!"

"Fuck..." Zhuo Yang was confused: "Do you... need to dip it in soy sauce?"

"No dipping, I won't dip anything, I'll eat you all in one bite."

"Are you fucking crazy?"

"Hiss--" Pepe's bared teeth expression made Zhuo Yang feel like a king cobra spitting out letters.

Knowing that he was separated by the crowds coming from both sides, Pepe still kept saying: I will eat you, bite by bite...

Messi felt a little weak. He looked up at the sky. Is the moon not full?

"Zhuoyang..., what's wrong with this guy?"

"Maybe... I'm hungry."

Boss Mei: "..."

After the game restarted, Zhuoyang saw a super-enhanced version of Mad Dog Rand, a Pepe whose all-round qualities far exceeded that of Madiburg captain Carl Rand, but who also played the same self-destructive and desperate defense as Mad Dog. The boss was treated submissively.

Since the second half of the schedule, Guardiola has used Messi more often in the middle of the trident, and this game is the same. After Albiol was red, Pepe retreated and re-formed the central defender with his partner Carvalho in the Portuguese national team. As a result, Pepe, who suddenly changed his mood, faced off with Boss Mei.

Pepe's defense was all about quick, accurate and ruthless kill moves, and Messi was blinded. Thanks to his natural "flea" attribute, he was able to dodge again and again, but if he wanted to do anything else, there was no way to do it. .

Just after five minutes, Messi was forced to dare not go to the middle, and he kept retreating until he retracted into the attacking midfielder position that Barcelona did not need. This way he avoided Pepe's poisonous snake Nobuko, but Barcelona's team The style is ridiculous.

Messi's retreat not only blocked the running space of Habaib in the midfield, but also made the interaction between the front three tridents very sluggish. Guardiola's tactics are extremely particular about off-the-ball movement and rotational positioning. It is because of his lack of these two aspects that Ibrahimovic ultimately failed to achieve his worth.

Logically speaking, from the perspective of being one goal ahead, Guardiola should replace Messi with Keita or Mascherano, push Xiaobai forward to play as a right winger, and let Calabash go to the middle to meet Pepe. This adjustment is more reasonable. But Guardiola was hesitant at this time. To be honest, it would be easy to replace Zhuo Yang when his performance is not good, but it is best to replace Messi with him after he has made great achievements and let him come down to accept the cheers of the audience, otherwise the pro-Barcelona media will be too hypocritical. In their eyes, Messi is the precious eyeball that no one can touch.

While Guardiola was still debating in his heart, something unexpected happened on the field. Captain Puyol, who had just returned, was injured again.
