Vol 4 Chapter 499: The death of Barcelona [Tenth burst of liver, please subscribe for monthly ticket]

Messi found that after winning the Champions League, the atmosphere of Gamba Sports City has changed a lot.
Last summer, Tun Carter decided to leave the team and return to the Netherlands to coach alone.
Although the majority of the team ’s impression of him is very bad, and many people even clapped about his departure, no one has spoken to retain him, including Rijkaard, but as the season deepens, Many people gradually regret it.
Sometimes, people do not feel cherished for what they have. Only after they lose it do they realize its value and regret it.
Everyone feels that Barcelona's past glory was because there were a group of outstanding superstars, because the team's overall strength was outstanding, because Rijkaard was able to lead the team to play beautiful and offensive football ...
Tun Carter is an annoying guy, he always plays a disgusting role.
For example, he would ask provocatively, "Do you know why we can win the game?"
He will very brutally refuse to answer when the players question him, "Before asking a question, you'd better go home and watch the video of that game, then come and discuss this issue with me."
He dared to put Ronaldinho on the main vest for a week. On the eve of the game, he persuaded Rijkaard to exclude him from the big list on the grounds that he was tired.
God, what a bad reason?
Everyone is not stupid, how can I believe?
And everyone on the team knows that he does n’t like Ronaldinho, because the Brazilian does n’t follow the rules he laid down and went to the party without training, so he got angry, even if he knew that the Brazilian could score goals, Can dominate the game, still have to exclude him from the big list.
Everyone felt incredible about it, and everyone on the team didn't like him.
Including Messi.
Because Tengkat always forced him to go to the gym for training, that was the way he hated the most.
This summer, the tyrant, who caused the team to complain, finally left.
Everyone rejoiced at this, and everyone felt that without Tengkat, the peak dynasty of Barcelona's Dream 2 team will continue to flourish.
The facts also prove that after more than half of the league play, Barcelona still leads the La Liga standings.
However, the leading edge of this so-called Dream Team II is only a pitiful point.
In the past twenty-one rounds, Barcelona only won twelve rounds, seven draws and two losses. They only led Sevilla by one point.
In the past two seasons, Barcelona scored 51 points and 52 points in the same period, which is 8-9 points higher than it is now.
But even more terrible is that Deco began to miss training frequently. He always found various reasons to return to Brazil. Sometimes he didn't even have to agree with the coaching staff. After returning to Brazil, he called again.
Ronaldinho has also started to spread some lace news, for example, he met a young girl in a certain nightclub, or he was mixed with a famous Catalan actress ...
But gradually, I don't know when it started, factions began to appear in the dressing room in Barcelona.
Many people are dissatisfied with the approach of Ronaldinho and Deco. They believe that several Brazilians on the team lack professional ethics and self-discipline, which is not allowed by Barcelona.
At first some people dared to make accusations in person, such as Eto'o, such as Puyol.
I do n’t know when the players from Eto’o and Catalonia began to be bundled into an anti-Brazilian player faction. Then several Dutch players on the team also joined the league. More and more sharp.
During the winter break, several players, including Larson, chose to leave.
It was also at this moment that all the talents suddenly realized that Tengkat was really important.
Only Rijkaard ’s Huairou policy could not control the dressing room.
...
In Gamber Sports City, Messi walked to the net football field in the player's rest area.
This was once a favorite place for Barcelona players. After every training session, there are always Barcelona players gathered here, who will be happy to play net football on this stadium.
At that time, Ronaldinho was protecting him like a big brother.
The Brazilian will pat him on the shoulder and tell him, "Relax, I will pass you the ball, help you assist, and get you on the front page of tomorrow's headlines. Compare with Yang Yang."
He will also comfort Messi when he is down, "Trust me, you will be the first person in the future world football."
These words are still in my ears, but they have changed over time.
The net football field has been unattended for a long time, the ground is covered with dust, and the net falls loosely on the ground.
This has become the least popular place in Gambo Sports City, and the corner is even full of debris.
Messi stood outside the stadium, his eyes full of sentiment.
He missed the joy of the past, he missed the joys and laughter of that time, but it seemed that he could never come back.
...
On the 12th of November, in the tenth round of La Liga, Barcelona's home game against Zaragoza, Messi played only 22 minutes and was injured. He had an accident and his fifth metatarsal fractured his left foot. The injury retreated for two and a half months.
It was only recently that he rejoined the team's training.
In the past two and a half months, Barcelona played eleven league games, lost one game, tied five games, and got a mess.
The UEFA Champions League even got the second place in the group and lost to Chelsea, which led to Barcelona's unlucky draw in Liverpool in the subsequent round of 16.
Everyone knows that Benitez's team is a cup-type team, very good at playing cup games, and targeted tactics are a must.
Even more terrible is that before playing against Liverpool, Barcelona will have to play Valencia again, which is another hard fight.
Messi looked worried, staring blankly at the net football stadium.
I don't know when Rijkaard came to him. The Dutch looked a lot older than before.
After Tencart left, he seemed to be no longer a gentleman.
"Some things have passed, and I will never be able to return." Rijkaard said with a sigh of sigh.
Messi guessed that he should regret it now. He should not let go of Tencart and should not condone players such as Ronaldinho and Deco, which caused the locker room to fall apart.
"Leo, the future of this team belongs to you. Next, you should make yourself stronger and more courageous, because from now on, no one will be able to protect you."
Messi felt a pressure.
"Yang Yang has picked up the burden of Ajax and Liverpool, Cristiano Ronaldo has also picked up the burden of Manchester United this season, Kaka also picked up the burden of AC Milan, and can only lift the burden of Barcelona you!"
Rijkaard's words were light and heavy, and Messi didn't know what to say.
"All of us are waiting for you to come back!"
After speaking, Rijkaard patted Messi's shoulder and turned away.
He never asked Messi from beginning to end, are you ready?
Because sometimes, some things will not give you any preparation time at all.
…………
…………
Due to the hasty decision to head south, Liverpool's preparations were not ideal.
The hotel is booked online by the club and is located in a resort in the Algarve region, the most southern resort in Portugal.
Along the way, the staff of the club told the players that this is the best resort in Portugal. It has its own swimming pool. Each family has its own swimming pool. There are very complete training facilities, the best golf courses and the best living environment around.
Of course, the price is relatively expensive.
But when the team traveled long distances to the resort, they found that the situation was completely different.
The hotel rooms are relatively humid and the turf is not good for training. The private swimming pool has a matching swimming pool, but it is not very clean.
In addition, the network signal here is not good, which makes Yang Yang feel very headache, because he has to keep in touch with Su Ye every day. She recently went to Chen Kexin ’s thorn horse drama group. Yang Yang is very concerned about the appearance of her village aunt .
The only thing that is satisfying is that the climate here is really great, and the air is good.
Compared with the rainy Liverpool, this advantage can offset all the disadvantages.
The club staff immediately communicated with the hotel, hoping that they could make some changes as soon as possible, but it is obvious that Liverpool is nothing at all in front of this hotel. People do n’t care, just a bit perfunctory.
However, Liverpool is not particularly concerned about this.
Because the most important thing for the team is to train and prepare.
For the Camp Nou, the outside world is more worried about Liverpool, because Barcelona is indeed a star cluster, and still playing at the Camp Nou, this is a great challenge for Liverpool.
Benitez did not conceal his intentions for this game, he hopes to bring a draw back to the United Kingdom.
"Of course, I hope it is a draw, but if it is a small defeat, it is acceptable, as long as we can return to Anfield with hope, then we still have a chance to win, because in Anfield, any team wants to win us , Not easy! "
Benitez's words showed his strong self-confidence, and also deeply infected all players.
Even new players like Yang Yang who have just joined the season have admired Benitez's tactical attainments.
Because he can always surprise everyone at the tactical level.
More importantly, Muhammad Sissoko finally recovered.
Judging from the performance in training, Mali's midfield is still pretty good, but he has been absent for a long time.
Mascherano and Aveloya are two players who joined in the winter break. So far they have not played for Liverpool. No one knows how Benitez will arrange it.
Although Yang Yang likes to think, he can't completely guess Benitez's ideas.
He felt that if he could guess well, he would consider transforming into a head coach after retiring.
And Benitez is also training, arranged a lot of details for Barcelona, ​​especially for Messi.
