[football] exactly the same

"You can't just run around like a moving statue, you have to tell your teammates what you're doing! And what do you need them for! Consider your ridiculous gentlemanly etiquette and social norms - no, don't talk back to me, I will do what I say! Cristiano Ronaldo... For God's sake why do you have the same name as me? There is absolutely no deterrent effect in speaking out."

Cristiano, until he arrived at the backstage of the press conference, was still taking advantage of the halftime to condemn Chris, "Anyway, you have to speak, do you understand? When you sew your mouth shut, no one knows what you want Do what. What is seniority??? Is this seniority time? What do you mean you can't command your own big brother? For God's sake, you're their striker, and if you don't score they're doing nothing, Don't you understand?"

"Defense is important, of course, but you can't care too much about defense-oh god, what am I talking about, I'm actually talking about defense to a striker named Ronaldo? Isn't this their task?"

"What? You are obliged to help them? You are helping them by pouring the ball into the opponent's goal!!" Cristiano spoke very fast, "My God, why don't you understand? The mission of a striker's life is a game Keeping the ball in the paint - that's what you're made to do. That's the best defense."

"So I don't see any reason for you to be a quiet..."

"Which word did I say that is not Portuguese? Do you understand that we have been talking about leaders for so long, what is a leader? A leader is responsible, do you know what is responsible? To be responsible, you must first use your power well! ’ Cristiano said, ‘My God, who the hell taught you this… gentleman manners?’”

"What do you mean 'not you'? When did I teach you that?" Cristiano felt that he was greatly wronged.

But it doesn't.

"Probably your Mr. Aveiro!" Cristiano asked.

"What do you mean 'you are all Mr. Aveiro anyway'? How can I be like him? No... I'm talking to you! I don't want to... oh..."

Cristiano strode forward while talking on the phone and ended up bumping into someone.

Mendez: ...What is Encounter Road Narrow?

Cristiano murmured an apology, and was about to continue talking on the phone, but Mendes resolutely took the phone out of Cristiano's hand for the social norms of human beings and the important task of world peace that Zurich shouldered this night. "Chris, my dear, be yourself and wait until I get back to Madrid - well, but you can consider Cristiano's suggestion. That's it, try to score a goal and see you later."

Cristiano gave Mendez a dissatisfied look.

"Hello," Messi said to Cristiano with a smile.

Cristiano smirked half-heartedly before Mendes coughed loudly behind him.

"Okay... hello." Cristiano obviously understood Mendez's subtext, so he had to show two rows of small white teeth, "Although the envelope has not been opened, but... there is no suspense anyway, congratulations. "

Very decent, very polite - Mendes thinks that this second of Cristiano's performance is worth a statuette.

"Thank you, in fact, your performance last year was also very..." Messi may have realized that this sentence is not very conducive to human unity, so he temporarily changed his words, "Thank you, I just watched the Copa del Rey in the hotel."

Cristiano's mind was full of little Chris, but he didn't react when he heard the King's Cup at first, he hummed blankly, and asked after a few seconds, "So?"

Messi was stunned by his rhetorical question, and he answered after a while, "Mr. Ronaldo played very well, I think... maybe you are too harsh." - Obviously, Messi also heard Christie Arno's rant about little Chris, too.

Although it was Messi who was completely unsuitable for speaking out, at that moment Mendes still thanked Messi who had the courage to face Cristiano.

"Why do you watch Real Madrid? Barcelona also has the Copa del Rey today..." Cristiano looked at Messi suspiciously, "Listen, I don't care what you're thinking, but Chris belongs to Madrid - every single one of him Hair is an integral part of Madrid. You can't do anything weird."

Cristiano vigilantly planted small flags marking Madrid and Ronaldo on this battleground called Little Chris.

Messi seemed to doubt the intelligence of his opponent.

"Didn't I say that? I always watch Real Madrid games - the difference is, before I only watched your games."

Messi thought for a while and added, "Of course, considering that you almost never don't play, so I have basically watched all Real Madrid's games-the past two or three years."

Cristiano refused to admit that he followed Barcelona's games in the same way, "Thank you - if this is your way of showing respect, then thank you. But I still will not be fooled - I will never tell Chris that you think he plays football. Well done."

Messi looked unsurprised, "Afraid he will be proud?"

Cristiano frowned suspiciously, "No... because it's fake, isn't it? Of course he didn't do well enough, he didn't even play what he should have...Messi, did we have some misunderstanding? Did you Isn't that a... I don't know, courtesy compliment?"

Messi also seemed surprised, "Of course not."

Cristiano: ? ? ?

"Of course he did a good job." Messi also looked a little puzzled, "He completed everything that a young player needs to complete-running, passing, defending. A head above his peers. The others are not in his class at all—don't you... don't you think so?"

Messi never likes to bother to pay attention to things that have nothing to do with him, so generally speaking, if he is not required by the game, he will not watch other people's games even more.

So far, only Cristiano and Chris Jr. have broken his routine.

Cristiano's problem goes without saying, but little Chris is a little more special.

At the beginning, Messi just regarded Chris as a young man with some talent—not to mention that his technical characteristics were similar to Cristiano’s. Isn't there only one Cristiano in the end after all these years?

But little Chris quickly overturned his view.

’ It’s kind of weird, really, it’s a very subtle feeling—I mean when I see little Chris. ’ Di Maria joked to the people next to him when he was in the national team.

’ That’s not what it’s like to see two Cristianos – no, I mean, they look so much alike that it’s definitely copy-pasted or something.But weird isn't it?After a short period of this feeling passed, I suddenly felt that the two of them were two extremes of human beings-can you imagine what I mean? '

'That Cristiano guy, you know, always looks like he's vain and narcissistic, but little Chris is anything but.Little Chris is very caring and considerate, he will understand your feelings, and then take care of you, in fact, he always fantasizes that he can take care of everyone - but Cristiano forget it, he is still a child Woolen cloth. '

' But to be honest, although everyone can see that Chris loves Cristiano very much, but for some reason, for some reasons that I can't even imagine, he sometimes ranks Cristiano in the Behind others—I mean, he admires Cristiano like a sacrificial believer believes in a god.However, he sometimes puts others before Cristiano. '

Others laughed at Di Maria's inconsistency, then played and continued to talk about other things.

But it got Messi's attention.

Messi knows what that is.

That's a kind of perfectionism - because he knows how much he values ​​a person, he instead tries to achieve some kind of fairness in his behavior.His heart is biased, but he wants a bowl of water to level it out.

This is of course very strange, but for some reason, Messi feels that this is like another version of the perfectionist Ronaldo.

Also because of this conversation that had nothing to do with Messi and Chris’s seemingly contradictory behavior, Messi paid special attention to the Portuguese national team’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina—to be precise, he paid special attention to it. little Chris.

Not everyone can take that kind of free-kick in the midst of all that noise - Messi knows the pressure well.

"His ability is unquestionable, but he..." Cristiano looked at Messi, suddenly doubting his own judgment, "He... don't you think he has any shortcomings? I mean, he has some things at all. Didn't do it."

Messi shook his head frankly.

They may indeed be opponents, but they never lie in football-this is the basic trust that Cristiano gave to Messi, and it is also the basic trust that Messi returns to Cristiano.

Although this is the only thing left between them.

"He... is not a leader at all."

Mendes wanted to stop the conversation, which had gone too far, but before he had time to make any move, Cristiano had the words out.

Messi just looked at him, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.But Messi is such a person, he is not as nosy as others think.So he just said, "Maybe. Good day, we'll see you... later."

After speaking, Messi nodded and smiled at Cristiano and Mendes politely, and then left with his father and other members of the team.
