Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 257 The first confrontation with the king of the ball

On the court, the players in Paris were a little surprised.

They know the reputation of the Copa Awards. Last year at the Chatelet Theater, Messi, Neymar, Ramos, Verratti, and Donnarumma all attended the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, and they all met Chen Xiaoliang Take the stage to accept the award.

They have also more or less watched the videos of Chen Xiaoliang's long-range goals on their mobile phones, not to mention the long-established stars, but for the fans who have watched the game for a long time, who has been watching the game for a year? Can't you see a dozen wonderful super long shots from outside the penalty area?

The coaching staff of Chen Xiaoliang's left and right sides also showed them crosses, especially the crosses on the right side of the dominant foot, which is already one of the main offensive routines of Roma, and it is no secret to the players in Paris.

But what happened to the speed when he got rid of Nuno Mendes just now?

And after the cross, he ran to the penalty area immediately to participate in the second attack, and then used the non-dominant foot to shoot from a long distance without stopping the ball while running, and what happened to the dead corner?

Messi was also surprised and delighted. What surprised him was that he saw with his own eyes only now that the kid who voted for the Copa Award was already such an excellent player on the court. What pleased him was that he knew that his vote was not The vote was wrong, and the memory of meeting Chen Xiaoliang is also very good.

Galti couldn't help looking at Joao again, but the expression on Joao's face still told him that it was the first time he saw this.

Galti asked: "When you were in Rome, you didn't participate in the team's training?"

Joao knew what Galti meant: "I participated, not only participated, but also the training arrangement of the individual coaches of the coaching staff and Jose's overall training plan, which were arranged into a complete training session in my hands, and then implemented one by one on the spot."

Galti: "Then the Red Countryman never showed this in training?"

João: "No, he rarely shoots, very rarely, and he is fast, but never this fast."

Galti: "You mean he learned it in the half year you left Rome?"

Joao knew that Galti found it incredible, but he couldn't convince himself: "The first time we saw him was in Tottenham's youth academy finale game, that was two years ago, and he had already He showed an extremely strong stealing ability, but he can only steal."

"His body hasn't grown well yet, and almost all his skills except steals are like laymen."

"By the way, what shocked Jose that day was his jumping. He jumped up and scored a header in the last time of the finale. He jumped so high and so high that his knee went over the defense. over the player's head."

"Jose valued him very much at that time, but in the Premier League, he couldn't have the opportunity to play at the age of 16, and it would be a waste of time to force him to stay in the team, so Jose rented him to the Glasgow Rangers and entrusted him to Gera. Germany."

"Then he was the Scottish Premiership champion, the tackle leader, a member of the Team of the Year, and when I reunited with him in Rome and saw him train, I had the same expression on my face as I do now."

"I'd love to find Gerrard and ask him how he trained this kid so that he can improve so much in one year, as if it took someone else five years."

"And now it looks like he's going to be one of the best players in Europe very soon."

After hearing this, Galti didn’t speak for a while, but he was thinking in his heart that the club spent 4150 million euros this summer to buy Vitinia, who is currently on the field, from Portuguese sports, and another 2300 euros to buy it from Naples. After Fabian Ruiz, the next step is to spend 1800 million euros to buy Soler from Valencia.

It cost a total of 8250 million euros to buy three midfielders, just to replace Herrera, Paredes and Wijnaldum who were rented out, were too old, or were considered by the board of directors to be insufficient to match the Champions League. .

But now let Galti choose, he believes that Chairman Nasser will definitely be willing to spend 1 million to hit Chen Xiaoliang, the effect is far better than the three people.

On the field, Paris, which relied on Donnarumma's superb performance without conceding a goal, strengthened the control of the midfield, no longer easily tried to pass a penetrating through ball, but tried to use the ball between the left and right sides. The transfer back and forth between the midfield and the frontcourt, to pull Roma's defense, mobilize Roma's players, so as to find a gap.

This kind of scene is not unfamiliar to Roma players. The original purpose of the bus tactic is to prevent the opponent from breaking through the center, so they can only divide the ball to the side, and then choose a high pass, and finally lose the ball. The team can launch a quick counterattack.

But Greater Paris is not "those opponents". They have two Uranus superstars on the field, one of which is also honored as the king of the ball by many people.

In the 17th minute, Neymar received a cross pass from Verratti on the ribs of the left penalty area. Behind him, Nuno Mendes was already in place. He was ready to play a short pass from the wing and then went down to try to find a breakthrough into the penalty area. Chance.

Brazil's No. 2 star star made a fake pass to Nuno Mendes in the face of Celik who was about [-] meters away from him and could either attack or retreat, which caused Celik to take a step back subconsciously.

At this moment, Neymar immediately dribbled the ball obliquely into the penalty area. Matic stepped forward to block it, but he lightly used a small acceleration to pretend to break through to the left, and then suddenly slammed to the right to shake the center of gravity. Running towards the penalty spot.

Mancini immediately came to fill Matic's position, and Matic, who was shaken just now, and Celik from the wing also surrounded him from behind.

Neymar didn't stick the ball and passed the ball to Sarabia near the right side of the penalty spot.

The new striker didn't hesitate, as Messi had already entered the box from the center with the chaos in the box and Vitignia's drive forward to attract Enzo's defensive attention.

Sarabia directly pushed the ball towards Messi with his back and arched his feet. Seeing that Messi can kick the ball directly without stopping the ball, Chen Xiaoliang, who flew back to the defense, and Malaysia, who retracted into the penalty area to help his teammates defend at the same time Stretching his legs one after the other to block and prevent Messi from shooting.

Who would have thought that without the ball, the club king who turned his head to observe the surrounding situation twice a second on average did not use his dominant left foot, but sent the ball to the front right with the outer instep of his right foot, and then inserted it to the right. In the penalty area, Ashraf, who had been ambushing for a long time, took a step forward and received the ball offside, and directly kicked the goal from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area!

Although the angle is slightly smaller, this ball is basically the same as a single-handed ball!
It's a pity that Ashraf chose to push the far corner. Patricio fell to the ground and blocked the ball. Ibanez immediately cleared the siege and kicked the ball to the midfield.

The replay shows that Messi first moved the ball to the side, and then prompted Vittinia to press up. After the latter entered Enzo's defense zone, the two faced each other head-on, and then from behind Enzo and in front of Malaysia. The combination rushed into the penalty area and completed the final through pass.

Mourinho on the sidelines naturally also saw this, but what he thought in his heart was: kid, hurry up and learn more!This is the best player on the planet.

The ball rolled to the Paris half, Ramos controlled the ball, but there was no forward point for a while, and his teammates in the frontcourt ran to the vicinity of the Roma penalty area to participate in the attack just now.

Ramos and Marchinhos had to kick each other several times to observe the players' running positions.

At this time, Messi, who had just completed a wonderful pass, took the initiative to withdraw, and Ramos passed it immediately.

The former Real Madrid captain passed on to the former Barcelona captain. In football, nothing is impossible.

After receiving the ball, Messi pulled the ball with his iconic left foot and then turned around, but a person in front of him followed.

The two looked at each other without saying anything, but they seemed to have greeted each other silently.

"Finally waiting for you."

"I'll do my best to stop you."

Seeing Messi and Chen Xiaoliang facing each other, Ramos and Marquinhos retreated immediately, Verratti and Vitinia ran to Messi's left front and right front, Neymar started to walk towards the ribs of the penalty area, Sala Via also retreated to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the wingbacks Ashraf and Nuno Mendes on both sides drew sideways and kept a certain distance from Roma's full-backs.

A set of support positions with Messi as the core of the organization is immediately in place. The front, rear, left, and right are all support points. Short passes, long passes, through passes, return passes, and cross passes can be played immediately.

This is the status of the king of the ball.

On the Roma side, Matic re-marked the inward Neymar. Although the two full-backs did not go up to meet the Paris wing-backs, they firmly occupied the defensive area.

Ibanez made the premise again, following Sarabia who was retreating, and Enzo also moved forward slightly, guarding behind Chen Xiaoliang, in case Messi made a second attack or directly broke through.

The two wingers Pellegrini and Zaniolo stood on the inside of the Parisian wingbacks, cutting the side kicks that might be passed from the center.

Cesco moved closer to Messi and came over to harass him.

A defensive formation with Chen Xiaoliang as the core of the midfield was also activated accordingly. The three lines were ready to move inward at any time, forcing Paris to transfer the ball to either side.

Galti was sighing to Joao just now: "Mourinho is definitely a genius. Although some players in this team are not very talented, they will consciously adjust their defense according to the position of their teammates in defense. The decision-making is obviously the result of the coach's continuous strengthening in daily training."

Joao: "Jose has always said that the coach can only play a role of 6 points at most, helping the players to form muscle memory and habitual thinking. But to reach 8 points, it must rely on the players themselves to make the fastest decisions according to the ever-changing situation and tactics. The most accurate judgment."

Galti: "How about a perfect 10?"

Joao: "To get full marks, you must have the full support of your teammates and the continuous stimulation of your opponents. Facing an opponent with 10 points, you will either be stimulated to perform 10 points, or be completely destroyed. He said that Inter Milan's Triple Crown That year, beating Barcelona and Bayern, those players were fully inspired by their opponents."

On the field, the atmosphere was so high that even the fans in the stands let out a rustling booing sound.

However, Messi and Chen Xiaoliang have not been disturbed by the outside world at all. They only have the ball and each other in their eyes at the moment.

Messi suddenly dropped his shoulders!

Chen Xiaoliang has only watched Messi's extraordinary highlights countless times, and he knows that this is the preparatory move for the Lionel King to launch an attack!

Immediately afterwards, Messi stepped on the left side of the ball with his left foot, and his body tilted accordingly.

Chen Xiaoliang immediately turned to the right, but took half a step back instead of forward.

With his current marking of 15, he can no longer predict the direction of his teammate Kwa's dribbling, let alone Messi, who is the only one in the world in dribbling.

If you want to steal the ball, you can only rely on the moment when the ball is separated from the person to destroy it. It is impossible to wait for Messi to make a mistake with the ball. It must be achieved through personal harassment.

But the last thing Messi can't do alone is to press forward in an open area, and nine times out of ten he will be thrown away by his sudden start and extra drive.

Messi saw that Chen Xiaoliang was not affected by his first swaying of the shoulders, but was sideways guarding his left front. He immediately retracted his left foot and flicked to the right. With a kick of his right foot, he immediately dribbled the ball to the right and broke through.

Chen Xiaoliang immediately changed his body to the left side, and just as he adjusted, Messi changed direction again and rushed towards his right side.Chen Xiaoliang stepped back quickly, and opened his hands to help him block.

After taking two steps, Messi poked the ball and kicked it to Neymar, who was inward from the wing. Then, when everyone's eyes were attracted by the passed ball for a moment, he immediately passed Chen Xiaoliang's left side without the ball. forward.

Chen Xiaoliang chased after him, but Neymar cut inward towards the center.

Chen Xiaoliang saw that Messi was running towards the left side of the penalty area, and Neymar was about to reach the top of the penalty area, and Matic had already been thrown away by Neymar in the first two steps, so he had to assist Matic back and forth Double-team Neymar, who may shoot near the top of the penalty area at any time.

He is a central midfielder, and it is impossible to keep man-to-man defense and follow a certain player of the opponent to run all over the field.

Seeing Chen Xiaoliang coming, Neymar kicked up immediately!

But instead of shooting, he pushed forward to the right with the arch of his foot!
Everyone around subconsciously followed the rolling of the ball and looked into the penalty area. Saravia, who retreated from the penalty spot to near the line of the penalty area, was making a plan to catch the ball surrounded by Ibanez and Enzo. action.

When seeing Enzo, Chen Xiaoliang seemed to experience a moment of suffocation!
The ball was not passed to Saravia!
Sure enough, as Chen Xiaoliang thought in his heart, Saravia missed his foot, and the ball continued to roll back from between his legs.

It was Messi who ran in a small circle without the ball and appeared in front of the ball without anyone noticing the anti-offside!
He stopped the ball while running, and after stopping the ball, his body turned to the left side, making a posture of pushing the far corner with his left foot.

Patricio, who had been single-handedly, had no choice but to attack, rushed out from the goal line and rushed towards Messi!
Messi dunked with his left foot, just like when he copied Maradona's stunt of passing five people in a row against Getafe and finally passed the goalkeeper. Patricio fell down and was about to pounce I swayed past him when I approached him, and pushed my right foot towards the near post near the bottom line.

"Goal~~~!!!"

The home broadcast and the cheers of the fans sounded at the same time!

Regardless of whether it is a warm-up match or an official match, Messi's performance will always be the most concerned thing for the major football media and fans from all over the world the next day.

Not to mention such a wonderful goal!

The playback on the big screen at the top of the stands on one side of the stadium once again showed how Messi moved.

After getting rid of Chen Xiaoliang's defense and passing the ball, he used Neymar's strong cut in the middle and Saravia's retreat to pretend to catch the ball, bypassed behind Malasia on the right side of the penalty area, and waited for Neymar At the moment of passing the ball, he inserted the anti-offside to catch the ball.

At this time, since the left half is the strong side, Malacia, Ibanez, Enzo and others are all facing the strong side with their fronts facing the weak side, and no one pays attention to the ghost of Messi at all. Unpredictable running without the ball!

Not only the players on the Paris bench are applauding Messi, but some players on the Roma bench are also whispering and whispering. It can be seen that even though their own team conceded the ball, they still treat Messi wonderfully. Excited about performance.

Galti also stood up and applauded. Although he has never coached a giant and his past coaching experience is not brilliant, he still proudly said to Joao: "Maybe I am not a genius like Mourinho, but we have Three of the best geniuses in the world."

In the 18th minute, Paris took the lead in scoring at home, leading Roma 1-0!

Chen Xiaoliang also glanced at what happened on the big screen.

He couldn't help sighing that he was both lucky and unfortunate to face the 35-year-old Messi.

Fortunately, if he had just changed to the 25-year-old Messi, he might have been like Boateng back then, who was shaken by his short-distance change of direction and heavy shoulders, and fell down on the spot.

But now even if he is not sure about Messi's breakthrough route for a while, he can insist on holding his position by relying on his speed and physical fitness.

But as a professional player, he really wants to face the Messi who is at his peak age and scored 91 goals throughout the year, and wants to see how amazing such a person is.

However, in the face of a premature goal loss, Mourinho on the Roma bench was not panicked at all.

He got up and waved to Celik who was on his side, and then did the same gesture to Chen Xiaoliang, and the two ran to him immediately.

Mourinho approached the two of them and chatted a little bit. The two nodded repeatedly, and then returned to the field to convey to Malaysia and Enzo respectively.

It's just that before Chen Xiaoliang turned to leave, Mourinho pulled him to say a word alone.

There are two honored players of the French national team as commentators on France 4, the largest sports TV station in France. One is Malouda who has retired, and the other is a free agent who ended his contract with Manchester United this summer. Pogba returns to Juventus.

Just looking at this commentary combination, you know that France 4 will "reorganize".

But having said that, if it is said that something will happen, the media all over the world are the same. Who would not want to seize such a good traffic opportunity.

The host asked the two Frenchmen what Mourinho would say.

The host first looked at Pogba. The corner of the latter's meaningful mouth twisted and sneered, but he still stretched out his hand to signal the older Malouda to answer first.

Malouda said: "Jose must be planning a countermeasure. Just now, Messi has escaped Roma's frontal defense by running off the ball twice in a row. These two goals are the cooperation between him and Neymar. The two did not enter the rhythm of Rome's design at all, but teamed up to penetrate the layer-by-layer defense of Rome's central road."

The host nodded, but it was obvious that this was not the answer he wanted.

Malouda, who was bought to Chelsea by Mourinho back then, has always been highly respected and grateful to this mentor. The best coach I have ever followed.

Pogba seemed not surprised by Malouda's answer, but when the former spoke, his eyes widened, not knowing whether he was expressing surprise or deliberately making a joke.

He said: "Some people are very good at brainwashing. Obviously this Roma team can't defend against Messi. It's not that their players are bad, but some coaches who only know how to defend are outdated. But people always need a job to support their families. , and to satisfy their own vanity, after all, some people have not yet reached the age of retirement, and they have always claimed that they are the most special one."

The supporter was overjoyed, and immediately asked: "Then how do you think the next game will develop?"

Pogba shook his head: "In a one-sided game, Messi is in very good form today. Only with a change of coach can Roma have such a small chance."

"Ah!"

Mourinho on the sidelines confidently looked at Chen Xiaoliang who returned to the field, slightly surprised.

Europe is generally hot this year. In mid-to-late July, Paris even had a long-lost weather of 7 degrees Celsius, and today it was 39 degrees Celsius during the day.

Standing on the sidelines, with sweat on the back of his clothes, how could he sneeze?
