Golden Greenery

European leagues start sooner or later, but the iconic game at the start of the new season is generally considered to be the European Super Cup. After this game, the new season in Europe has officially begun.

The 2015 European Super Cup came very early. On August 11, UEFA Champions League champion Barcelona and UEFA Cup champion Sevilla performed this La Liga match at the National Stadium in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

Barcelona's 2016-year-old Frank Ribery sat on the bench, looking anxiously at the trailing score. During this past summer vacation, he suddenly realized that he was getting older.

After the vacation started, Scar, Xiaozhu, Grandpa, Detu, and his second brother went to China to visit his brothers. In fact, Scar didn't want to go, but he couldn't say anything else.

Scar is a tough guy with a fierce appearance and a very strong mentality on the court. But in fact, he has a lot of softness in his heart, but he doesn't have many opportunities to show it on weekdays.

Softness, under certain circumstances, can also turn into timidity.

Scar dared not see Zhuoyang like this again. The brothers who had been so lively together for so many years suddenly lay there motionless. After Scar had been to London Bridge Hospital to see him, he didn't dare to look at him again.

So when the brothers said they should go see Zhuoyang, he was very resistant in his heart, but he couldn't say anything if he didn't go.

When he arrived at Zhuoyang's house, although he was no longer wrapped like a mummy, he was still motionless. Scar felt like something was being torn apart in his heart.

This world is really fucked up, why would such misfortune happen to Zhuo Yang? Scar and his brothers left China and returned to Greece for vacation. He suddenly felt that his steps were very heavy and he felt that he was getting old.

The 32-year-old Scar is the oldest among the Six Musketeers. After playing professional football for more than ten years, he never thought that he would become a veteran. But this season, especially after this summer break, he has to admit that he is already an aging veteran.

This is not Scar's first time visiting Shipwreck Bay on Zakynthos Island in Greece. When the Six Musketeers parted ways many years ago, it was here that they met to conquer the world. While on vacation at Shipwreck Cove this year, Scar couldn't bear it any longer, so he carefully asked the four brothers if they felt old.

Grandpa, Xiaozhu, Detu and Er Ge, their four birthdays are only 5 months apart, and they are all on the 31-year-old age line. Unexpectedly, they heard Scar's question, but instead of laughing, they all fell silent.

Thus, Scar knew that aging was not something he felt alone.

Zhuoyang's accident had a great impact on the brothers.

Although they all firmly believed that he would wake up, they also knew very well that it would require a miracle. And even if he wakes up, he has suffered such a serious injury. Being able to live a normal life is already the most anticipated result, and it is almost impossible to continue his football career.

Zhuoyang, who could no longer play football, made his brothers feel a deep sense of powerlessness. This feeling is aging.

But Scar's old feeling is not the reason why he failed to start today. During the team's training a few days ago, he tore a bit of his calf muscle when he made an emergency stop to change direction. As of today, he is just fine, so he was not included in the starting lineup by head coach Enrique.

Barcelona's lineup is not complete, and Neymar is completely absent. He suffered from mumps. In Scar's understanding, isn't mumps only something children get? Why does Neymar still get this disease at the age of 23?

23 years old, well, it’s great to be young.

The second half had already ended in the 70th minute, with Barcelona trailing 2:4.

Scar and Neymar were not on the court, and two teenagers, Rafinha and Sandro Ramirez, replaced them in the starting lineup. With Xavi gone, Barcelona lost the classic midfielder 'Habaibu' in team history. Rakitic began to learn to cooperate with Xiaobu and Xiaobai.

In the first three minutes, Sevilla's Banega broke the deadlock. Four minutes later, Messi broke through and shot to equalize the score.

Young people are still too immature. Although Rafinha, who is about to turn 23, cannot be considered a young player, today Barcelona's offensive pressure still falls entirely on boss Mei.

Sevilla is not a one-man team.

In the 17th minute, Reyes rewritten the score to 2:1, and Messi equalized the score again two minutes later.

Before the end of the first half, French forward Kevin Gameiro scored, allowing Sevilla to overtake the score again, 3:2. Boss Mei could not pull it back.

Messi is also 28 years old, but he is definitely not a veteran yet. Two days ago, he told Scar that he planned to retire after playing football until he is 40 years old.

Scar has no intention of playing until the age of 40. He wants to play until the 3Sa contract expires and then join a small team or a retirement team for two years. The main reason is to earn two more years of salary and play until he is 36. You can retire at seven.

But that day at Shipwreck Bay on Zakynthos Island, Grandpa Mo said: Let’s all play for two more years, and each person will play for Zhuoyang for two years.

In front of the brothers and the brothers, Scar is an honest man, and he immediately decided to kick it to 3. He looked at Meng Er, and as expected, the second brother said: In the night when the strong wind blows away, the smoke is a kind of loneliness and desolation.

Scar admires a man of culture like his second brother, because he can always recite sad things in a poem that will make you want to die.

So, Xiaozhu spread a circle of cigarettes for everyone, and this time all the brothers took it.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Sevilla's Italian striker Immobile, who had just been loaned from Dortmund, replaced the limping Gameiro. Immobile played badly at Dortmund last season, but he didn't stink this time.

The score became 4:2.

Having won the Triple Crown, one must want to replicate the Six Crowns again. The European Super Cup is the beginning of the upgrade from the Triple Crown to the Sixth Crown.

In the 71st minute, Messi suffered ankle discomfort and Enrique had to replace him early. This start is really not good.

Messi was replaced by Scar, because there was no more suitable offensive candidate on the bench.

In the 81st minute, Scar cut in from the right side of Sevilla's penalty area. After getting rid of Koke and Rami, he suddenly shot a long shot. Goalkeeper Beto couldn't save it, and the score became 4:3.

For the first time, just inside the corner of the penalty area, he was tripped by the opponent's Danish midfielder Crondry. The Scottish referee Colomb awarded a penalty kick. Scar personally fired the shot to make the score 4:4.

Barcelona equalized at the last moment and the game entered overtime.

In the 115th minute, Iniesta broke through the ribs and crossed the ball. Scar grabbed the point in the middle and easily scored another goal, completing the hat trick and giving Barcelona the lead for the first time in this game, 5:4.

Am I old?

Still old. Less than a minute after scoring the goal, Scar's calf was in excruciating pain, and the strained muscle was obviously injured again. If I were a few years younger, this wouldn't have happened.

A hat-trick failed to alleviate the scars' shadow of aging.

Barcelona had no substitutions and could only fight with one less player at the end. Scar and Messi's teammates lived up to their efforts and defended the game and the championship.

2015, Barcelona’s fourth championship.

Three days later, Scar and Neymar were absent due to injuries. Messi's Barcelona lost 0:4 to Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the 2015 Spanish Super Cup. Another three days later, the two sides drew 1:1 in the second round.

Barcelona lost the Spanish Super Cup and also lost the opportunity to rewrite the sixth crown.
