long live football

Messi sat in a well-decorated private club, with an expression of "Hey, where is this? Why did I come here? But if you come here, let it go, I will continue to sit obediently".

Beside him, two voices were discussing in a low voice.

"This is Leo Messi? The rising star of Barcelona? Although I don't know why he didn't get his hair cut in Spain before coming to Germany, but I will let him see the skills of the best barber in Munich! He wants What kind of hairstyle is it?" The barber with a rough voice pinched a lock of Messi's hair: "Ah, such flowing long hair, thin and soft, how about braiding it into a braid like Baggio's? Become Barcelona's melancholy Prince? Or the delicate braided head of Ferdinand? Very exotic. Or dyed blond, like Nedved? Puyol and Valderrama's explosive curls are very personal, but too wild It's not suitable for his temperament..."

"No, no, Messi's facial features are actually very distinctive, with a round face, thin lips, high browbones, straight nose, and slightly curved and upturned eyes-too complicated hairstyle will weaken the sharpness of his facial features, and even make his appearance more pronounced. Take the lead, and make the originally not ugly facial features ugly." Carl shook his head and said: "And the fancy hairstyle doesn't suit his temperament, so let's cut it short, it's refreshing and neat."

"How short should it be? Do you need bangs? Just trimmed or straightened or permed? What about the color?"

"The length is above the ears, leaving a little bit for the temples..."

Messi looked away from the serious-looking barber and the handsome man next to him, and looked into the mirror directly opposite.

Messi in the mirror also looked back motionlessly.

Since the 03-04 season, he has always had long or medium-length hair, and he is used to it. Messi doesn’t think he is ugly at all (although he never thinks he is handsome), and his family and friends Also, there was never any suggestion about his hairstyle.

But the man in front of me, Carl Oston, the opponent of Barcelona's match the day after tomorrow, had a discussion with himself about his hairstyle when he met him for the first time, and then he couldn't help but drag him to this hotel It sounds like a high-end barbershop (club?) - Macy thinks that a place where you can get a haircut is called a barbershop, but the angry "barber" just told him that this can complete a man from head to toe, from skin to hair. The changed place is not a barber shop but a club, and he is not a barber, but a stylist—but no matter what the other party says, Macy still thinks that a person who thinks that customers cut hair as a profession should be a barber.

Carl Alston insisted that Messi change his image, but Messi, who was introverted, not good at talking, never struck up a conversation with strangers, and was not good at getting along with strangers, actually obediently left with the other party... He and Auston met for the first time today!first!

After today, when he thinks back on this experience, he will think it is very sci-fi.

How did all this happen?

……

half an hour ago.

Messi, who accidentally bumped into the person in front of him, apologized in a hurry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Carl turned his head and scanned the opponent's whole body twice before asking, "Are you, Messi?"

Macy nodded, raised his eyes, and recognized the other party: "Mr. Alston?"

The first round of the UEFA Champions League match between Munich 1860 and Barcelona was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, because Munich was celebrating the Oktoberfest, and there were millions of tourists from all over the world, and round-trip air tickets were very tight, so the Barcelona club could not buy air tickets on the eve of the game , I deliberately let the team come two days earlier. After the physical training in the morning, coach Rijkaard gave everyone a holiday. Almost all Barcelona players left the hotel and went shopping, and Messi was no exception.

It's just that he didn't expect that among the thousands of tourists on the street, he went the wrong way and bumped into someone for a moment, and ran into the head coach of the opponent team he knew and the game the day after tomorrow.

Messi would recognize Orston for the same reason that Orston recognized him-everyone is a public figure, and if he has seen too much on TV and newspapers, he will naturally be able to match that face with his name.

Although they both know each other, Messi and Karl have never been in contact after all. It is correct to say that they are strangers to each other. Messi nodded at each other and was about to leave.

But the other party suddenly asked: "Where did you hire your styling team?"

Messi was taken aback: "Styling team? I don't have one."

"What about your hairstyle?"

"Go to the barber shop." Messi replied honestly: "Before the start of each new season, I will cut my hair in the barber shop I am familiar with in Argentina. Go to the barber shop and ask Master to cut off the growing hair, and keep the top as it is."

"...Don't go to that barber shop in the future, I can't stand it anymore."

"why?"

Carl's appearance at the moment seemed to Messi to be a bit of a sigh: "His level is too poor."

"?"

"Your current image..." with a meaningful tone: "It's a bit hard to look at."

Macy frowned: "Can you speak more clearly, Mr. Alston? I don't understand what you are talking about now."

"too ugly."

Messi: "..."

"This hairstyle is very unsuitable, you know?"

Messi: "..."

Probably seeing the displeasure in Messi's plain expression, Carl suddenly approached: "Shall I prove it to you?"

"Proof, what?" Messi took a step back and stammered.

"Prove my words are right." The tone of the coach of Munich 1860 was very solemn: "You have to fire the former barber and hire a professional one."

Messi just stared at the opponent's suddenly enlarged face, unable to speak for a while.

When he came back to his senses, the barber's scissors had already started waving on his head.

Playback ends.

…Close your eyes and imagine your new look, then open your eyes again, Messi has no choice but to give up, he really can't figure it out.

Looking at himself in the mirror, this long-haired man, if he had short hair, would he really be more handsome?

Glancing at Auston in the mirror, Messi is not too worried about his new image: the other party is the most fashion-savvy and football-savvy person in the famous football circle, although he doesn't understand why he changed it for himself. Image, but certainly not a bad thing in the end.

After blowing and cutting for a while, the barber said complacently, "Come and see, how about it?"

Just as Messi was about to open his eyes, his eyelids were suddenly covered with hands, and the whole world suddenly became dark.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's not good enough now, you can watch it later." Karl first bent down and said to him, then straightened up and looked at the barber: "Is this your favorite work?"

"Isn't it good?" The barber was surprised: "Short hair, side parted bangs, what a gentle and elegant temperament!"

"... Is gentle and elegant a word to describe a man?" Messi felt his hands patted on his forehead: "Cut it short, and then highlight it."

After another pruning, Messi opened his eyes and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar self in the mirror.

The long hair that had followed me for several years was lost and turned into a simple short hair. The bangs that have been dyed + straightened playfully and regularly hang down in front of the forehead, making the already somewhat round face more immature, and then As a result, the whole person has a lively and innocent big boy atmosphere.

"Should you be satisfied this time?" The barber said triumphantly, "Auntie's hair instantly turned into a little fresh, who dares to say that my technique is not good?"

With the new hairstyle, I look very good, more than ten times more handsome than before, presumably all family and friends will praise me after seeing my new look.While Messi was thinking this way, he was satisfied, but also a little bit regretful—although he looks a bit handsome now, childishness has never been what he pursued.Messi's dream is to mature as soon as possible and become a big man with pursuit, career and responsibility.

Just as he was thinking this way, Messi suddenly felt his hands touch his forehead.

"...Like a Xinjiang boy with kebabs."

Messi & Stylist: "WHO?"

"It's nothing." Carl waved his hand, and withdrew his hand from the top of Messi's head: "Blow it up and blow it up, and the bangs will be shortened by one centimeter, and they will be slightly raised."

Messi continues to be fiddled with.

After 10 minutes, the barber exclaimed: "The effect of blowing on the bangs is even better! What a MAN!"

Carl was finally satisfied, and touched his chin: "That's it."

Messi observes his final haircut.

He doesn't know anything about fashion, and he never thought about it. He always felt that "no matter how you dress up, you can't change your natural appearance and height. In this case, it is necessary to rack your brains to pursue beautiful clothes and hairstyles." What's the use? A handsome guy can't turn into an ugly guy, and an ugly guy can't turn into a handsome guy." But now, he is deeply aware of the impact of careful grooming on temperament and appearance—just a hairstyle can turn people from unattractive to attractive. It looks very good, but just a bang can make a huge change in people's temperament!

In a simple sentence: His temperament is very soft when the bangs are hanging down, and his temperament is very sharp when the bangs are up!

Manliness!This is what he has been pursuing but never obtained, and now he can vaguely see some signs of it!

Messi is very excited!

"Go get your eyebrows and beard trimmed, and then do some skin care. I'll help you go downstairs and pick out some clothes, and you can change into them later."

When the new order appeared, Messi followed the service staff without any resistance. Now he also wanted to see what he would look like in the end.

……

The day before Barcelona's match against Munich 1860, Messi shocked the world with his new look.

Nani?Where did the inconspicuous Messi who combed her hair yesterday go?Who is this eye-catching Barcelona player with clean short hair and a thin beard that appeared today! ?

Although Messi is still the same Messi, he can recognize him at first sight, but overnight, the changes that happened to Leo Messi are not surprising, almost a bit of a reborn taste: messy The curved part of the eyebrows is removed, and it is trimmed like a blade; the beard on the lips and cheeks is shaved into scum, and the shape and depth are deliberately trimmed, giving people a mature taste; the difference between the new hairstyle and the old hairstyle Great, the new Messi makes people feel very refreshed at a glance; not to mention the suit shirt and the carefully tied narrow tie-this way of wearing actually makes Messi have extra A bit of a sharp temperament.

The one who boarded the plane with everyone in Barcelona in Madrid was Leo Messi, who was shy, shy, lacking temperament, and poor charm.

This one that appeared in Munich is Leo Short Rich Handsome Manly Messi.

The media were simply shocked—Messi seemed to have turned on the one-click dressing function, and such a huge change had taken place in just one day!Who changed him?

"It's so familiar." Many German journalists thought at the same time: "This color matching, this clothing texture, and the brand of the tie button...why does it look like a certain person's taste?"

The reporters began to get to the bottom of it. They kept asking at the pre-match press conference of Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard: "Did Messi's new look be changed under your instructions? Why did you choose the location of the change?" Munich, are you looking for a good start for the upcoming Champions League match?"

Rijkaard just kept shaking his head: "I don't know, I am the head coach and I am only in charge of the team's games. This is the player's private matter. You should ask him (Messi) himself."

So the media tried every means to interview other Barcelona players.

But the people who were asked touched their heads inexplicably: "Messi's new look? It's not my suggestion... How do I know the reason for his haircut! I bet it's not anyone in our team It was an idea, because we separated from him that day, he went out alone, and he would stay in the hotel at night... To be honest, he also surprised us when he returned to the room, and many people dared not recognize him ..."

As for why the media didn't go to Messi himself to find the answer?That's because Messi doesn't tell them the truth at all. As long as a reporter asks this question, Messi just keeps his mouth shut and smiles shyly at the camera.

……

This happened several years later.

At that time, Messi had successfully advanced to become the king of briquettes, won the Ballon d'Or four consecutive times, and was recognized by most fans as the No.1 in world football.

And what about Cristiano Ronaldo?Since 2008, he has never had a chance with the Ballon d'Or. Every time, he is voted No.2, and "accompany Messi to receive the award" every year.

Ronaldo has been depressed, unwilling, tried hard, and struggled, but he still can't change his destiny.

But in the end, he was also convinced of the defeat, but when every new season comes, he will still play football desperately, and spend all his energy and sweat on the green field, no longer for the sake of fighting with Leo May. West fights for honor, but for a clear heart.

It's just that I have been the second child for a long time, and when I suddenly think of it in the dead of night, I still feel aggrieved and depressed.

At this time, Ronaldo will try his best to make himself happy again.

His most common method is to dig out the photos of the 2007 European Golden Globe Awards Ceremony in his collection and browse them again.

Especially the one where he, Kaka and Messi stand side by side on the podium, it's really enjoyable once you see it!

Look at the gorgeous height difference, tsk tsk tsk, and the comparison of the hairstyle and clothing, hehehe.

The old opponent's aunt is frustrated and dressed up with black history, which is the most refreshing!

When Lao Huai who was looking at it felt relieved, a chuckle suddenly came from behind him: "Looking at these photos again? Speaking of which, he should thank me very much."

Who is Karl talking about?Ronaldo looked back at the other party, then looked at the photo: Are you talking about Kaka?

After several years of sinking, Kaka became powerful again in Karl's hands. Speaking of it, I should say thank you to the other party, but the three of them see each other every day without looking up. Karl has never talked about Kaka in such a delicate tone. ——It’s not Kaka, is it Messi?

These two actually have a relationship?Ronaldo's sense of crisis rose a little: "Who are you talking about?"

Carl then talked about how he helped Messi change his clothes and hairstyle, making the other boy suddenly promoted to a handsome man, and said with regret: "This kid is not as lively as you. I worked for him for a long time. There is hard work without credit, right? As a result, he was very shy, stared at himself in the mirror for a long time, turned his head and said thank you to me, and ran away——At that time, I was still standing waiting for him to praise me for my extraordinary vision By the way, please have dinner—what’s more interesting is that since then, when he sees me, he will only smile shyly.” Carl smiled while talking: “I haven’t been able to say polite words for a few years. , introverted like never growing up."

Ronaldo: "..." Damn it!The Messi styling team that the media searched for for a long time was actually you!friend!Affection!out!play!of!

A ferocious fighting spirit rose from Ronaldo's chest!

Carl: "...Hey, hey, what are you doing! What are you doing with such a fierce expression? Just pounce on you, don't learn how to dive from a high platform, I really can't handle such a big guy like you - rub!!!"

This is a story of a sudden transformation from arrogant to violent.
