Mourinho's unusually amiable expression at halftime made everyone look at each other in dismay, not knowing why - they all thought Mourinho would be furious about the conceded goal and kept shouting at the defenders .But in fact, Mourinho is kind like an old father who farms the land. He just gently soothes the children's hearts that are not really hurt.

But to be honest, according to Cristiano's guess, he thinks Mourinho's purpose of doing this is not to encourage them to attack hard, but a kind of "settling after the autumn"-Cristiano knows Mourinho too well.

So Cristiano directly pierced Mourinho's disguise-"I don't think Mr. Coach should deceive us at this time and let us think that you are indeed such a gentle and amiable person. To be honest, I Even thought you could just tell us that if we defend like this in the second half, you're going to give us a good look."

Mourinho was very speechless for a while, but after a few seconds, he ignored Cristiano, "I want to focus on the defense in the second half, I hope you cheer up, it's just a draw, but if you continue to be careless , just focus on attacking, maybe worse will happen."

Mourinho's reminder was very clear - of course, Cristiano thinks it should be attributed to him.

At the same time, Guardiola's speech in Barcelona's locker room continued.

Guardiola is also encouraging his players and reiterating his tactical requirements. Unlike Real Madrid's "infighting", Puyol and Harvey have spoken successively, trying to echo Guardiola, and continue to build on his foundation. A morale boost - except they did so by reiterating the hostile relationship between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

On top of Puyol's statement, Harvey mentioned an additional thing that Leo himself didn't think of.

"Now is the critical moment for the Ballon d'Or scoring," Harvey said. All eyes were on Leo when he said this. He became the center of attention for a moment, which made Leo a little uncomfortable, but Neither Xavi nor Puyol took care of his feelings this time-Xavi continued his speech, "We can't give the raters any chance to sway when they vote."

Harvey didn't directly name Leo, but everyone knew he was talking about Leo-it is true that Harvey and Iniesta performed well in the World Cup, and Iniesta even scored a key goal in the World Cup final But everyone knows that as a stage for evaluating top stars, in terms of talent, technology, data performance and performance on the court, last year's world still belonged to Rio and Ronaldo.

Ronaldo didn't get much last year, but he also led the team to achieve great results in the World Cup. People are shaken.

This is something that Puyol and Xavi can't accept. They can't accept seeing a Real Madrid player win a golden ball again-in other words, if Ronaldo is not a Real Madrid player but a Manchester United player or any team player, haha Even if Victoria and Puyol are eagerly looking forward to a Ballon d'Or winner from Barcelona, ​​they will not regard his opponent as their own enemy.

But it's a pity that Ronaldo threw himself into the trap and became a player of Real Madrid.

Puyol and Xavi don't hate Ronaldo at all, they just hate Ronaldo as a Real Madrid player.

Both Cristiano and Leo have always known this, but as long as this is not revealed for a day, they can pretend that nothing exists-this is the inevitable way to maintain their relationship.

But all of this was actually explained by Harvey today—Leo seemed to be angry for a moment.

Although he didn't know what his rage was for—whether it was because of the revealed secret or some other unknown reason.

But whatever the reason, Leo knew he couldn't say it.

So Leo just kept silent.

Harvey and Puyol didn't mind Leo's silence, because they both believed that Leo was such a person, so it was normal not to say a word at this time.

Leo hadn't experienced this. He didn't know that "he" had encountered exactly the same situation in "back then".

——"I don't know what you guys think, but personally, I can't accept a person from Real Madrid standing on the stage-anyone is fine, but it's not Real Madrid."

"Back then" Harvey also publicly talked about this matter with people in the locker room, and the objects he talked about happened to be Puyol and Pique.

Harvey will pull Iniesta on almost everything, but maybe he also knows that Iniesta does not appreciate this kind of thing, so he is rarely with Iniesta at this time——Iniesta Tower has special treatment for Harvey, but Messi does not.

Xavi is also good to Messi, but for him, Messi is not Iniesta after all.

"Anyone is fine, but not Ronaldo in Real Madrid, it's better to be Leo." Puyol agreed, "I don't want to see people from Real Madrid triumphantly say that the world's number one is in their team-this Unacceptable. I think Barcelona and each of us should do everything we can to help Leo get this."

Messi frowned.

Both Xavi and Puyol saw this, but they didn't say anything, they pretended not to see it-it was Pique, who was still a young man at the time, who broke the story innocently.

"Leo, what's the matter?" Peek asked.

Xavi and Puyol looked at Piqué unhappily - they both knew Messi, they could all guess what Messi was saying, and what Messi was about to say would obviously make their position a bit awkward.

Messi wasn't mature enough on that question at the time, so he showed the same naivety as Pique - Pique asked the question, and he answered it, "Carls, Xavi, I think I just Just do my own thing and let the rest take its course - I will not plunder what belongs to others by any means, but of course, I will never give up what belongs to me to anyone. So I Want to say, I don't need "extra" help. "

Xavi and Puyol looked at each other.

"Leo, forget the first half of your sentence, just remember the second half." Puyol said frankly, "Barcelona only needs you to remember "what belongs to you, you will never give it to anyone"—— You just have to remember this. "

For a moment Messi wasn't sure what that meant.

Xavi paraphrased Puyol's words, "Leo, there is no 'gentlemanliness' and 'gentlemen's tacit understanding' in the world of football, remember how England became the empire on which the sun never sets? "

Messi is not good at history, so he just looked at Xavi a little puzzled.

"They started out as pirates, they were gentlemen," Harvey said, "but they made it."

Messi was a little stunned at first, but then he felt that this was a very "Harvey" statement-Leo was silent for a while, "You want me to be like this?"

Xavi and Puyol nodded at the same time, they don't think there is anything unspeakable, they have always been honest about their desires - they just want to see Messi get this, they hate seeing Ronaldo get this .

Messi pursed his lips and said nothing.

And since that day, Pique found that Messi has become more and more silent-Messi didn't like to talk at first, but he would occasionally participate in one or two chats, and now he can not say a word for a whole day.

Pique quietly asked Messi if he was angry at Harvey's words-to be honest, Messi was a little surprised at the time, because although he already knew that Piqué was a very accomplished person in social and caring , but he really didn't expect Pique to be so nuanced.

But Messi just shook his head and still didn't say anything.

Pique looked at her for a while, hesitated again, and finally said: "Leo, don't think too much, you are not competing for the Golden Ball to fulfill the mission entrusted to you by Barcelona, ​​​​you are for your own professional achievements, for Match your talent to compete for the Golden Ball."

Messi was completely surprised this time. He stared at Pique with wide eyes-he already knew that Pique was meticulous to a certain extent, but he still didn't expect to be able to reach "this" level.

Yes, he did think: Carls and Harvey think so?So every day in the future, am I winning for myself what I deserve, or am I completing the mission entrusted to me by Barcelona and repaying their kindness to me?

He wanted to ask Pique, do you really mean what you say, do you really think that I am not fighting for the golden ball for Barcelona and other people around me?Do you really think I still have a "me" and choices?

But Messi knew he shouldn't ask, so he shut up.

But many, many years later, Messi couldn't help asking his wife Antonella this question.

Antonella laughed.

"Leo, of course you have no choice, unless you are willing to be a traitor and a traitor to Barcelona."

"From the day Ronaldo arrived at Real Madrid, you are enemies - Leo, my dear, if Ronaldo doesn't choose Real Madrid, you can be two stars facing each other in the vast universe, both radiant and peaceful at a distance No matter. But as long as he chooses Real Madrid, you all have no choice."

——At this time, Leo looked at Harvey and Puyol and couldn't help sighing.
