Chapter 1084 Messi's Privileges

After listening to Messi's request, Guardiola did not immediately agree to him readily, but fell into deep thought.

Guardiola is not Martin O'Neill. They have different coaching philosophies, and they have different cards in their hands.

Although everyone says that Guardiola, like O'Neill, sacrificed the interests of the rest of the team to become a star.

But Guardiola feels that his Barcelona has not reached the level of Liverpool.And after he regained control of the team, he also consciously didn't want to highlight Messi too much.He hopes that these players in Barcelona will develop Messi dependence-look, from this point of view, he is indeed different from O'Neill.O'Neill wished that the whole team could rely on Chen Yingxiong, but Guardiola did the opposite.

He hopes that Barcelona is a whole, not a team composed of more than 20 random people.

He puts a lot of emphasis on the cooperation of the whole team, which has been the case since his first coaching Barcelona.

Even Messi, who is very good at scoring goals, has to see that he has a record of assisting his teammates more than a dozen times in a single season. In this regard, Messi has never been a selfish person.

He is completely different from Ronaldo in Real Madrid and Chen Yingxiong in Liverpool.

Messi has fewer shots but more goals than them, which also shows that he is not the kind of selfish person.

Unexpectedly, now Messi came to him and told him that he wanted unlimited firepower and wanted to be more selfish...

It is not difficult to modify the tactics. Everyone passes the football to Messi, and then just watch Messi perform.The question is, is this the right thing to do?

Messi knew what Guardiola was hesitating. He said: "I promise not to put my personal interests completely above the interests of the team, Pep. When the team needs me to be selfless, I will be selfless. I just hope Allow me to be selfish when we are sure of victory, or when the situation has not yet reached that point..."

"Just in the Champions League?" Guardiola asked.

Messi shook his head: "No. All games."

"But isn't he competing with you for the top scorer in the Champions League?"

"It's total war, Pep."

When he said these words, Messi's eyes flashed with pleading light.

Obviously he is very concerned about the contest with Chen Yingxiong, even though he has always pretended that he is calm...

The pleading look in Messi's eyes made Guardiola stunned for a moment-how long has he not seen such a Messi?
As Messi became famous and his status in football rose like a rocket, as he grew older, he became more and more like a world-class superstar.He is more and more confident, thinking that he is the best, that he is the best player in the world.Yes, many people think that Messi is humble and low-key. That's because they don't know that Messi is actually very proud in his heart, but he doesn't choose to express it in extreme ways like Ronaldo and Chen Yingxiong.

The proud and confident Messi believes that no one in the world can stop him. Now he is only one World Cup champion short of being officially crowned king and becoming the third world football king.

How could such a confident person show such a weak expression?
Guardiola only occasionally saw Messi a long time ago, before he became No.1 in the world.At that time he was relatively weak.He would cry in the locker room after losing games and almost collapsed-this has also become the basis for his opponents to mock him and humiliate him.

But now, Guardiola has never seen Messi shed tears again.Even if he lost an important game, even if the media blamed him for the loss, he just bit his lip and stubbornly faced the defeat alone.

It is really because he already has such qualities that Guardiola is confident and bold to let Messi be the leader of the team.Because he believes that Messi is not only a talented player, but also a qualified leader.

Being able to make such a strong leader show a pleading look, Chen Yingxiong... is really not easy...

He couldn't bear to let Messi down, he treated Messi like his own child, and cared for him carefully.

He thought about it, and the current situation is really cruel for Messi.Chen Yingxiong can get the unconditional support of the Liverpool team. All the Liverpool players are as if they have been brainwashed. No one expressed dissatisfaction with Martin O'Neill's indulgence of Chen Yingxiong, but went to help Chen Yingxiong.Totally help at any cost.

On the other hand, on Messi's side, he is really just fighting alone, and he has not provided Messi with much help tactically. On the contrary, sometimes Messi is required to shoulder more responsibilities, even including defense...

Compared with it, Chen Yingxiong is really happy.

He doesn't need to defend at all, he doesn't have to do anything except score goals, he just needs to run to the place, and then someone will bring the football to him, which is almost like the realm of "opening your mouth and stretching out your hand when you eat".

No wonder Messi feels aggrieved.Liverpool used the whole team's strength to help Chen Yingxiong reach the top, but Messi did not receive such support.He would naturally think, if he also got the support of the whole team, how could Chen Yingxiong be allowed to be rampant?
Guardiola also felt that doing so was unfair to Messi. This was an unequal competition.

And to be honest, he didn't want Chen Yingxiong to win either.Because that person is a typical villain, once he succeeds, he becomes rampant.His distaste for Chen Yingxiong comes from the inconsistency of ideas between the two sides. He cannot appreciate someone like Chen Yingxiong. Even if he can score goals, he will not move the idea of ​​​​pouring Chen Yingxiong to Barcelona.

Letting such a person win is not only a failure for Barcelona, ​​but also a shame for football!

Guardiola nodded.

"Me, I promise you, Leo. You can have unlimited fire rights, and you don't have to come back frequently to participate in defense. You just use your best way to keep scoring goals."

※ ※ ※

When Messi left Guardiola, there was a smile on his face.He was content.

With the support of the head coach, there is nothing to hold him back tactically.

He can devote himself wholeheartedly to the fight against Chen Yingxiong.

Not only in the Champions League, but also in the league and in the Copa del Rey, he has to keep scoring goals.He will never allow the record of 76 total goals he created in a single season to last only one season!Otherwise, I will become the biggest laughing stock in international football!

People will only remember him as a loser, a poor man who only enjoyed one season.

And Chen Yingxiong will put pressure on himself, domineering, and enjoy the praise and cheers of others.

People will only remember the creator of the new record, how many will remember the holder of the old record?

Messi is unwilling to be the green leaf of Chen Yingxiong.

He couldn't bear this scene to happen.

He has now scored [-] goals in La Liga, two more than Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

But this did not satisfy him.Because Chen Yingxiong scored forty, ten more than him!

In terms of the total number of goals in all competitions, he currently has 51 goals, which is [-] goals less than Chen Yingxiong.

The gap is obvious, but Messi is not worried, on the contrary he is full of confidence.Because he has the support of the head coach and the whole team.Barcelona will use the strength of the whole team to help him, and he does not believe that he can still lose to Chen Yingxiong.

In the past, Messi was like playing football with lead weights tied to his legs. He was still unable to show his full strength, and it was helpless to lag behind Chen Yingxiong.Now he has thrown off all the burdens and went into battle lightly, all the strength that has been suppressed for a long time will burst out.

Isn't the difference of thirteen goals just a few games?
At this point, Messi is quite confident in himself.

※ ※ ※

The media in Spain and those reporting on La Liga in other countries soon discovered that Barcelona's tactics were slightly different from before.

Although it has not changed from Barcelona to Real Madrid, it is still different from before.

That is Messi got more chances to shoot.

How did you notice it when you first watched the game?

But when the media released the technical statistics of the game after the game, everyone discovered the clues.

Messi's shots rank first in the team, five more than the second-ranked Pedro.

In addition, the number of passes Messi made to his teammates plummeted.

"This scene is really familiar..."

A reporter who watched the game video and analyzed the game murmured.On the TV screen, there was a scene of Messi raising his hand to ask everyone for the ball. Soon Pedro, who was holding the ball, passed the football to him, and then he directly took the ball into the penalty area...

"It seems that the whole of Barcelona is serving Messi alone...Messi is like the sun, and other Barcelona players revolve around him..." A print media reporter wrote in the manuscript.

"Messi is a little lonely. Even if there are teammates in a better position than him in this game, he didn't choose to pass the ball, but tried to shoot. Although Barcelona won the game by relying on strong strength, I think Guardio La should look into what happened in the team..." A fan was typing on the keyboard quickly on the BBS of the Internet, writing down his observation of the game.He is a well-known football commentator in the online world. Every article of his will be sought after by many netizens and has many fans.Of course, he is also a die-hard Barcelona fan.

……

The print media reporter who was writing a manuscript suddenly took his hands off the keyboard and slapped himself on the forehead.

Damn, how did I forget?

Isn't this the treatment Chen Yingxiong received in Liverpool? !
