King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 588 Captain, I am very stable

Chapter 0588 captain, I am very stable
A devout Catholic, the Argentine player Messi, is standing near the center line and praying devoutly at this time. The referee has already raised his hand to signal Messi to enter the field:
"Oh, it's time to play, Lord, please give me strength!"

After drawing a beautiful cross on his chest, Messi glanced at his teammate Arjen Robben who was being carried away on a stretcher from a distance, and ran into the field excitedly.

The appearance of the Argentine bouncing around is somewhat funny in the hearts of Birmingham players and fans, but all Notts County people can feel the joy in Messi's heart.

Happiness came too suddenly. This is Messi's first official game representing Notts County Club. He has a record for the first team in the five major leagues. He scored a lot of goals in various echelons of La Masia. Isn't this what we are waiting for? one day?

Team captain Harvey Alonso hurried over to tell Messi what to do, where to stand, and how to move. The assistant coach has already told him several times.

In the usual training, this small Argentine player did a good job, but Brother Long still wants to emphasize it again. After all, this is the Premier League, not La Liga.

"Boy, pay attention to the space in their ribs, and actively go forward to that area when you have the opportunity. If they dribble the ball near you, try to interfere with it, but don't consume too much energy, because the breakthrough task on the right is very difficult. Heavy, be careful when attacking, their movements are big, don't get hurt again..."

Messi doesn't know if Harvey Alonso is so kind to every young player who represents Notts County for the first time. At least when he was in La Masia, no one ever told him this.

I thought that Robben could easily play the whole game. Veteran Overmars took a break today to do physical therapy. He didn't even make the 18-man roster before the game. Messi is the only one who can play right winger.

Sometimes, what should be yours is yours.

"I understand, Captain, I'm very steady!"

Messi nodded heavily at Harvey Alonso, indicating that he heard everything the captain said clearly.

"let's go!"

Xavi Alonso hugged Messi lightly, and fiddled with the Argentine's flowing long hair with his right hand. It was up to this little man when he felt the emotion.

"Hey, kid, there's no one left in Notts County. No one believes that a player aged [-] or [-] can play in the Premier League..."

"Don't cry for a while, the uncles won't let you..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Birmingham players laughed at Messi to their heart's content. In their eyes, this little guy is useless. They think that Notts County should be no one to use, so they will send such a player.

In fact, they also know that it is impossible for children aged thirteen or fourteen to play in the Premier League. They just want to use this to mock Messi.

Being short is the original sin?
OK, it is your original sin to despise your opponents!

Messi looked at his opponents. The Argentine's face was full of smiles, the clouds were calm, and there was no trace of anger.

"Hey, come on, I'll just pass under your creaking nest, why do I have to fight you head-on, nerves..."

In the No.309 minute of the first half, Franck Ribery and Messi switched sides. Messi's right foot was not particularly good at this time, but he had to cut in on the left. There was no other reason. Notts County The first point cannot be earned in the restricted area.

"Leo, watch the ball!"

Xavi Alonso yelled, and the ball was sent diagonally from the center circle to Messi's feet on the left. The Argentine performed well in a breakthrough on the right. Brother Long expected Messi to replicate the wonderful performance just now.

"Simple dribble, Messi breaks through the Birmingham full-back, he looks like he's going to shoot, oh no, he dunks Jarosk, it's not a typical inside shot, it's against Butt's body In the middle, the kid staggered a little, but he didn't fall..."

"Unfortunately, unfortunately, if the Notts County players can get in faster, Messi will have better passing options."

After passing two Birmingham players, Messi completed a shot, but the physical confrontation with Bart made his center of gravity slightly deviated, and the final shot was not well shot.

Bart just gave Messi this tentatively. Bart didn't dare to use too much force in the penalty area. He now knows how much this small player can bear. As long as it is within Messi's tolerance, Bart has countless This kind of small action made Messi suffer from being dumb.

Messi didn't know that Nicky Butt didn't use his full strength, but the Argentine's maximum tolerance was like this, and he seemed to be full of expectations for the next attack.

"Uh-huh……"

Coach Klopp silently wrote down a note in his small notebook. No one knows what he wrote, but it must be related to the eleven players on the field.

It's a pity that the smug Messi didn't receive the ball in the last 15 minutes of the first half. It wasn't that the Notts County teammates didn't want to pass the ball to Messi. It was actually Nicky Butt and Cunningham who made the Argentine Staring too closely...

When the final whistle sounded, Bart raised his middle finger at Messi. The gesture of shaking his finger back and forth was very similar to Mutombo after blocking the shot.

"Boy, you are nothing more than that. After you return to the youth training camp, remember to train well and eat more raw beef. You are too thin..."

When Didier Drogba heard this, he wanted to go straight up and do this old thing, but Bart walked steadily in front of the referee and didn't give the Notts County player a chance.

In the second half of the game, Notts County changed players, and Lahm was replaced by Evra. Although he is not tall, Evra must grow a few centimeters, which is better than nothing.

The frontcourt quartet of Messi, Sneijder, Franck Ribery and Harvey Alonso created a lot of opportunities, but the iron blood of the Birmingham people made Notts County return without success.

I don't know if Steve Bruce has studied Mourinho's tactics well. Birmingham set up a bus with 11 people in the second half.

Notts County's two wingers frequently kicked the ball into the penalty area. Neither Drogba nor Mertesacker, who was pulled up from the central defender position, could grab the first point.

There are also some problems with the short-pass coordination. The space left by the Birmingham players for Notts County is too small. I don’t know if their assistant coach is from Italy. The fast-linked defense is a bit like an Italian chain defense. Flavor, overall movement, great efficiency.

In the No.607 minute of the second half, Bart was replaced by Steve Bruce due to lack of energy, and Messi also won a lot of breakthrough space after that.

Birmingham's newly replaced young midfielder still has a big gap compared with Messi. He may not be able to deal with the experienced Bart, but such a young man with only physical strength, Messi is confident that he can play this guy around.

"Messi, Messi, Messi, he's up to speed..."

"Pennant's eyes are defensive, he doesn't even pull it, coach Steve Bruce on the sidelines looks ugly, Cunningham didn't rush to grab, the smart Argentine and Alonso came to a wall cooperation , now the only one who can stop him is the Birmingham goalkeeper..."

The two commentators at the scene seemed to be more excited than the Notts County fans. Messi’s extraordinary moves were really wonderful, and then they were drooling and spitting, and there was no way to perfectly restore them. The scene where Messi breaks through.

The listeners who sat in front of the radio and watched the game all sighed, why save this money and go to the Magpie Stadium to watch the game?
Notts County Club's ticket price is so cheap, I am so sorry for the kind Chairman Wei.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Messi, he was not greedy for credit. He pushed the ball steadily to the far end, followed Messi all the way to Xavi Alonso in the Birmingham penalty area, and easily accepted the goal.

At this time, Messi still didn't know how important his assist was to Notts County, and how hard-won a point in this game was.
