Vol 6 Chapter 269: More blowing, stars like rain (9)

The focus of the major sports newspaper reports the next day was neither Wang Ai's stability, nor Messi's low tide, nor Cristiano Ronaldo's movements, but with 12 games left in the Bundesliga and 14 games in La Liga. , Wang Ai and Messi, the superstars who "scuffled together", both tied the single-season individual scoring records of the Bundesliga and La Liga created by the two of them last season.
In the past, everyone would only yell at Wang Ai, but now everyone yells at Wang Ai and Messi together!
People have even forgotten that the league championships of La Liga and Bundesliga belong to this year. After all, the championship is held every year, and the current scene has been unheard of for decades. People want to see where the individual limits of La Liga and Bundesliga are. There is only one thing that people who are talking about are unanimous: you two, you must fight!
As Ronaldo said, there is usually only one crazy striker in an era, how lucky today's fans are to meet two at the same time, and they are still two competing against each other. The extremely difficult record that even Maradona has not broken has been written again and again. The figure who can be called the king of football put down his restraint and fought each other wildly. Naturally, the applause was thunderous and the audience was flooded.
Messi's low performance in two consecutive games has aroused concerns from all walks of life. Not only his relatives, agents, clubs, sponsors, well-connected media, and fans in close order have sent him condolences, and even Even Wang Ai's team expressed "concern". Several sponsors shared by the two have changed their previous hesitant attitude and publicly praised Messi's talent.
This is not a betrayal, but these collaborators who have a clear interest relationship with Wang Ai know that without Messi's incentives, Wang Ai will probably not maintain the efficiency of averaging 3 goals per game... Too tired. Last season, if it weren't for Messi's pressing step by step, Wang Ai would have almost impossible to improve Gerd Muller's record by 40%. The super-giant war that started from the first round this season has made Wang Ai match the exaggerated record of last season before two-thirds of the league schedule.
That is to say, in the eyes of the sponsors, whether the biggest opponent Messi is healthy or not determines the upper limit of Wang Ai's achievements. How high will the shooter record be raised this season is directly related to whether the little fleas in Barcelona are willing to continue to jump.
Maybe that's what Basten is talking about: rivals and friends.
Fortunately, the Champions League knockout stage, which has more attention than the league, is coming. The intensifying battle for the top scorer must be temporarily stopped. The two super giants who have been greatly tolerated by the club must temporarily focus on AC Milan and Arsenal. .
The European Golden Boot list is suspended, and the Champions League scorer list has surfaced, and people have speculated whether Wang Ai and Messi are willing to distract some of their attention when Ronaldo first tries to make a difference in the Champions League scorer list. In case of losing the decency of the European Golden Boot, it is also to suppress Ronaldo.
On February 18, Bayern announced the starting list for fighting the Gunners. Center Mandzukic, attacking midfielder Kroos, right winger Ribery, left winger Muller, and Wang Ai were on the bench list.
This list has dispelled some doubts, but how the Eastern Super Giants will choose depends on the Emirates Stadium at 8:45 pm on February 19, when many big figures will come to the stadium to watch the game in person, such as the British football legend Charles Charles. Sir Tony and others.
Returning to the Emirates Stadium, savoring the cold and dampness of the early spring in East London, Wang Ai subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the direction of the home team when he was walking back from the warm-up, and suddenly remembered the King of Highbury who returned to his hometown the year before last. left once.
The battle for the gentleman with Henry was really nostalgic.
After a while, Wang Ai, wrapped in a long down jacket, wearing a hood, and sitting on the bench with his hands folded over his shoulders, let the live broadcasts from far and near swept him from time to time, and Henry left again, here with him. The opportunity to meet old friends is lost forever.
Fortunately, another old friend Mertesacker is still there. Mertesacker, who was lured by Wang Ai to become a midfielder in his early years, was finally discovered by Wenger in the years of Arsenal, and he still played at center back. If Wang Ai is going to play in this game, there is a high probability that he will replace Mandzukic, so he will face off against his old friend.
Bayern's offensive was quite smooth. Kroos received a cross from Ribery and scored successfully in just a few minutes of the opening. After more than ten minutes passed, Muller made another hit from the frontcourt. The balance of the game has been heavily tilted towards Bayern. .
Shortly after the start of the second half, the former Prince of Cologne and Bayern striker Podolski deftly broke through Neuer's ten-finger pass, and soon Ribery was injured. Mueller completes the swap. The Dutch Flyer was very active after playing. Soon after, he made a direct pass to Lahm, who went deep into the opponent's position. Lahm made a cross. Under the pressure of Mandzukic, Arsenal defender Sagna made a mistake and touched the ball into the goal.
A few minutes later, Heynckes called Gomez to warm up, Wang Ai leaned back upon hearing the sound, his long legs stretched out: No need to go, he can prepare for the next league with all his heart.
The first round of the 1213 Champions League round of 16 ended with Bayern defeating Arsenal 3:1. Heynckes proved to the world that without Wang Ai, most of the time it is possible.
At the same time the next night, Barcelona came to the San Siro to challenge the defeated AC Milan, but unexpectedly, AC Milan took the lead with the long-range shot of the former Inter Milan player Montari, and then the striker Boateng scored a goal. , actually smashed the cosmos team to the ground.
Messi played the whole game, but only had two shots and one missed. In the previous clash with AC Milan, although Messi had 3 goals, they were all penalties. It is clear that Messi lacks confidence when faced with Italy's most classic chain defense system.
Wang Ai, who was watching the game in the living room of Samaria Manor, went out to practice at night after seeing half of it. Although Bayern's rotation was inhumane, it was also a kind of protection for the players. Although Barcelona doted on Messi, why not To die for performance?
In a little more than half a season, Messi has played 8 more games than Wang Ai.
Even many media have noticed this. When Wang Ai received a call from Xinhua News Agency at breakfast the day after the game and agreed to send someone to Munich for an interview in the next week, Li Jun was reading the newspaper in the living room: "According to an insider, , Leo's life has begun to be disordered, and his body is extremely exhausted. Compared with the Chinese who rests from time to time in Munich, we call on Guardiola to seriously consider Leo's physical fitness."
Wang Ai put down the phone and thought for a while: "World Sports News!"
Li Jun walked to the dining table with a dismayed look, and picked up his chopsticks: "..."Daily Sports Daily", haha!"
