[football] this god

Cristiano was once again blocked by Mr Messi for his offensive comments - this time for a long time, lasting seven days.

Cristiano felt that he had done nothing wrong, he was just speaking honestly, and it was Mr. Messi's glassy heart that was wrong.

During the rare quiet period of seven days, Leo took the opportunity to do some big things-such as going to Mr. Rijkaard to talk about his failure to enter the Champions League quarter-final squad.

"Sir, may I ask what I need to improve?" Leo got straight to the point, without any intention of wasting the time of both parties, "I will try my best to do better, but please tell me what I did wrong."

Although it was a question, it was clear that Leo didn't think he had done anything wrong.

But Rijkaard likes this, he is afraid to beat around the bush endlessly, "You and the whole team cooperate very badly, Leo, you did a good job before, I don't understand why you suddenly lost this ability-this is Disastrous, football is a team game and you shouldn't be too much about playing alone."

"I'm just pursuing the simplest and safest way to pass the ball and the best opportunity to pass the ball." Leo didn't mean any confusion. Rijkaard saw this expression and knew that Leo fully understood what he meant but completely disagreed. , "I am in favor of cooperation, but I am not in favor of passing the ball reluctantly in order to show that I can cooperate with others."

"Football is a team sport," Rijkaard repeated a little unhappy. "Leo, this is not a place for individualism. If you want to play at Barcelona, ​​​​you have to learn to cooperate with other people. I mean, let other people know how to participate in this game when you are on the court, but also clarify what the team wants you to do and what you want your teammates to do - whatever you think your way of playing should be What, you serve the team first."

"I..." Leo wanted to say something, but he didn't finish.

"Sir, I think Leo's way is very good. He can play the role you want him to play. His passing style is very affordable. He just needs others to run to the position he thinks is most suitable." This time is Ronaldinho walked up to Leo and obviously chose to support Leo-he liked Leo's approach very much, it was indeed very affordable.

Rijkaard frowned, his tactics relied on Ronaldinho's ability, but he also knew that if Ronaldinho continued to think this way, he would definitely not be able to get along with the Puyols, "Mr. Ronaldinho, no one has the right to refuse to cooperate with others - football is a team sport."

Ronaldinho shrugged.He really wanted to help this poor young man, Leo, but he was powerless. After all, Mr. Ronaldinho was the worst at arguing with others.

Coincidentally, Rijkaard didn't want to discuss this with Ronaldinho at all, so he ignored him when he didn't speak, and said directly to Leo: "Leo, think about what I said. As a young player, you have to Know what's important."

Not everyone is qualified to talk to the manager about their football philosophy, and a young man is the least qualified of all those who are not – especially the idea of ​​non-cooperation and signs of anti-team.

But again, Leo does not think he is against the spirit of cooperation, he just thinks that what he pursues is the best cooperation, and the cooperation of others is often for the sake of cooperation.

He still wanted to defend something, but Rijkaard had signaled the end of the conversation.

Leo's face was not very good.

But Leo didn’t tell Ronaldo about this in the end, it has nothing to do with his feelings for Barcelona, ​​it’s just about himself——Leo didn’t want Ronaldo to feel that he was incompetent, and he couldn’t even do the simplest communication like this. , actually couldn't even deal with the most basic problems in the locker room, and had to rely on the other party's help for ideas.

This is related to his consistent self-esteem.

Consistently.

Leo and Messi in the "back then" are still the same in the final analysis, and their subtle self-esteem will always prompt them to do something that is not a "must".

Things.

Although Leo himself did not know these "past events".

--"Congratulations."

After Cristiano won the Ballon d'Or for the fourth time, Messi could only say this before the subsequent national derby because he did not go to Zurich.

Cristiano smiled and said thank you.

Messi hesitated for a second, then embraced, waiting for Cristiano to respond.

Cristiano responded with a bit of surprise to the hug, listening to Neymar behind him sniggering and biting his ear with Suarez - Suarez probably wasn't smiling, but Neymar seemed interested in what was happening.

At that time, Messi was thinking about the conversation Griezmann had with him when they met before the game after Zurich.

"Hello." Griezmann greeted politely, but he was obviously not prepared to have any conversation with Messi, after all, he didn't know Messi very well.But Messi added something extra to the hello, "Is Zurich interesting?"

Griezmann was stunned. He looked at Messi in surprise, as if he hadn't expected that he would take the initiative to bring up this topic that should have been unpleasant to him, "Well...uh, it's not bad." - Griezmann Ziman considered how to answer the question politely, although he didn't think it could be answered politely.

"Congratulations," Messi said.

Griezmann breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel that he had passed some social difficulties, so he was happy again, "Thank you, your encouragement is very important."-This is a very obvious social language, Messi turned a deaf ear to it.

If the topic ends like this, nothing will happen if we politely nod and leave.But Griezmann added a piece of nonsense that he regrets later.

"Cristiano also mentioned you."

Mr Griezmann swore he was just trying to say that Messi was an integral co-star in Zurich, but that still didn't stop the sentence from being complete nonsense.

"What did he mention about me?" Messi was about to turn around and leave, but this sentence kept him in place.

At this time, Griezmann began to truly confess his nonsense, but he had to finish the nonsense he said, "He...he told me that I am sorry that you are not there." ——Standing to the side and talking to others Kok, who talked and paid attention to his social imbecility, finally couldn't help poking Griezmann's ribs with his elbow, which probably meant: As long as you talk too much...

Only then did Griezmann realize that he had made another mistake. He turned his head and glanced at Cork with a sad face. The only expectation was that Messi would stop talking to him.

But God does occasionally become selectively deaf.

"Any more?" Messi asked still with his trademark smile.

Cork's alarm bell rang for a long time, and he immediately strode over to block Griezmann, "He has a bad memory. Maybe he remembers it wrong."

Messi glanced at Cork, and then looked at Griezmann again, "What else did he say?" - Cork is not good-looking, but it is not convenient to choke with the opponent's card in the player tunnel, just Neng muttered to himself: What does he like to say, what do you care about him?Didn't you find something for yourself after asking?

Thinking of this, Kok looked back at Griezmann and felt that his family's social imbecility was a bit cute again.

Griezmann looked sad again when Cork stopped talking, he knew that what he said was nonsense, but if Cork didn't speak, he didn't know how to politely refuse to answer such a question, "He just said sorry , you each missed each other's awards ceremony once. But even if it's a tie, it's not a pity."

After Griezmann finished speaking, he took a sneak peek at Messi. Seeing his expressionless face, he couldn't help but feel that the nonsense he just said was superfluous, and his eyebrows drooped in worry.

Messi obviously thought about what he said after the opponent's absence from the Golden Globe Awards.He said at the time: You think I don't understand you as much as they do.

The muscles in his jaw tightened suddenly, and he said nothing, just nodded to Griezmann and turned away.

"Oh my god, what are you talking to him for?" He heard Koke behind him blame Griezmann, "And mention Ronaldo to him. Messi is not a good neighbor with Ronaldo like you."

"Just talking casually." Griezmann muttered, the Frenchman's Spanish still had a French soft and sweet nasal voice, "I don't want to escape to Real Madrid, Cristiano can't buy me."

Messi didn't look back, but he heard every word.

All of this turned into a motivation to urge him to open his arms to Ronaldo-he didn't want to lose, he didn't want to lag behind anyone in posture and demeanor, and let anyone see a joke.

Especially Ronaldo.

Even if all this is only about the so-called "decency" that no one cares about, even if he and Ronaldo's blessings and thanks after leaving Zurich are not important.

——Maybe Leo and Messi in the "back then" shouldn't be counted as exactly the same person. After all, their experiences have undergone changes that cannot be called insignificant.But Leo may indeed be Messi, after all, their core way of survival has never changed.

He is determined to solve all the problems in Barcelona by himself and never ask anyone, especially Ronaldo, for advice.
