Chapter 240 Greece and new players
"Mr. Edward, can I ask you a question?"

When the plane was about to land, Messi spoke abruptly.After all, he was still a 17-year-old kid.Despite playing first-team football for Barcelona in a friendly against Porto last November, he believes the €11m price tag is unimaginably high.

Because of this transfer, a shrewd Edward was called Europe's number one victim by the media!
The young Messi felt a lot of pressure.He doesn't doubt his own talent, but is his talent worth that much money?Zidane transferred to Real Madrid for only 7400 million euros. That is the best star in the world, Mr. Golden Globe, but he has represented Barcelona in a friendly match and can be worth 6500 million euros. too crazy!
"Let's talk, Leo." As a Ronaldo fan in his previous life, Edward naturally didn't like Messi, but now that Messi is his player, his status has changed, and Messi is also a good person, so Edward's attitude is very good.

This young man, like Ronaldo, is the treasure of the team's future.

"Why did you pay so much for me?"

"Because I think you will become a big star in the future. If you break up with Barcelona because of tens of millions, you may not have the opportunity to bring you to Berlin in the future."

Before Jill had a serious fight with Edward because of this incident, Jill thought that even if Messi was talented, he would be worth 1500 million euros at most, and this was all based on his future development. Edward went so far as to buy such a young man with your 6500 million euros. This price can beat any giant forward in the world. If the negotiation goes well, he might be able to buy two top strikers!

No matter how talented this young man is, he can't be better than two world-class forwards, right?
Edward understood what he meant, but did it anyway.Both Messi and Ronaldo are unrepeatable. Even in football for so many years, there are only two monsters of them. It is not a matter of more money and less money. If you give up, you may miss it forever. This kind of player cannot be measured by money at all. , if it must be said that they are like nuclear weapons, their power and influence far exceed the amount of money paid.

His words made the young Messi feel even more stressed.

The reluctance to leave Barcelona, ​​the dissatisfaction caused by being sold directly, as well as Edward's trust and sky-high transfer fee are constantly swirling in his mind, and now he is dizzy.

The media not only ridiculed Edward. As Mr. 6500 million, Messi is also the object of their ridicule. Now he feels not very good and is very confused about the future.

Edward didn't say much when he saw his expression, and Messi might get used to it slowly after reuniting with the team.

-------------
The first thing to do in Portugal, Edward took Messi to visit the Portuguese national team camp.

This European Cup is the European Cup in Portugal. The golden generation of Figo, Rui Costa and others all want to become champions this summer. The young Ronaldo told Edward before leaving Berlin that he will definitely become the champion. .

Seeing Ronaldo who was eager to try, Edward reminded him to be careful about Greece and watch the video of the opponent's game more. I don't know if he did it or not.

"Mr.president!"

Ronaldo ran to the reception room and immediately shouted in surprise when he saw Edward, but when he saw Messi beside Edward, his face changed slightly and returned to normal.

In the past few days, he has heard the name of Mr. 6500 million. The most important thing is that the little boy is also a winger.

"Chris, how are you getting ready?" Edward asked with a smile.

"The team feels very good, and we are bound to win this championship!" Ronaldinho said confidently.

"That's not bad," Edward asked, "Have you watched the Greek game video?"

"No..." Ronaldinho didn't want to lie to Edward.

"Hey," Edward patted him on the shoulder and said, "The coach of the Greek team is very good. Rehagel once led Kaiserslautern to create a miracle of being promoted to win the championship. Their lineup is not as good as ours at that time. I originally wanted to find He came to coach the team, so he looked at the Greek team and found that they are very unusual, they are very defensive."

"Defense doesn't win."

Ronaldinho said disdainfully, and Messi next to him nodded again and again.

"young!"

Edward looked at the two of them and said: "The offense wins the fans, and the defense wins the championship. After the Greek team, you will see more and more players defending desperately in the game."

"You have to remind your teammates to be careful about the Greek team, and you have to try to find their weaknesses."

"Okay, I will." Ronaldinho nodded reluctantly.

Seeing this, Edward didn't say any more. After chatting with him for a while, he took Messi and left.

When walking towards the hotel, Messi asked curiously: "Why do you think Greece can cause trouble for Portugal?"

"It feels like I believe that you will become a big star, and that little bastard just now will also become a big star. You two will be the most powerful players in football in the future."

Edward replied with a smile, which made Messi feel more burdened.

This is no longer an ordinary expectation. Comparing him to Ronaldinho puts him under pressure. Ronaldinho has played in the first team for 3 years. This season, he has at least a chance to enter the top ten of the Ballon d'Or. This is a first-class player. However, Edward actually felt that he could be compared to Ronaldinho, and the two of them would continue to improve, reaching the heights of Maradona, Beckenbauer and Pele.

This situation put a lot of pressure on the young Messi.

Just like the 17-year-old Hawking said that you will become the greatest physicist in the world in the future, even the parties themselves will have doubts about this kind of thing.No one can predict his own future, and he himself has no way to predict such things as the height of his career and the degree of talent realization.But Messi can already imagine that until he shows enough ability, he will always be picked by a lot of media.

After the European Cup started, many surprising things happened.

Portugal, which sits at home, stumbled all the way, and it was very dangerous to qualify in the end.The weaker Greek team and Portugal's appearance path is exactly the same, they both stumbled to qualify.

During this period, Ferguson has been discussing Evra with Edward. Now there are too few good left backs. Evra is only 23 years old. He can play at Manchester United until he is 30 years old. The left back is much more reliable.

This fact made Edward feel embarrassed, but after seeing Messi, he immediately had an idea. Under his suggestion, Ferguson signed Abidal from Lille for 1100 million, which is more than a transfer from Lyon. captured.

Originally, Abidal had already reached an agreement with Lyon, but Ferguson stepped in. Both the players and the club tended to agree to Manchester United. Even if Lyon later offered a transfer of 1300 million euros, Ferrier did not agree, and he could sell the players to other leagues. , no team is willing to let him stay in this league.

At the same time, Manchester United also spent 80 pounds to sign young full-back Leighton Baines at Wigan Athletic. After being bought, the local full-back was loaned to Wigan Athletic in the British Championship again. .

Edouard wants to laugh now, he took Busquets from Barcelona, ​​signed Messi, let Manchester United sign Ronaldinho and Abidal, this dream 2 and dream 3 were ruined in his hands, two dynasties The core players of the team have all passed by Barcelona. Even if they won the league championship last season, they are not convincing. They do not have the dominance of the previous life dream 2 period.

Edward suddenly wanted to call Florentino to ask for a favor fee. He helped Real Madrid weaken Barcelona and sold a bunch of teams to Real Madrid, completely reversing the situation between the two sides.

Mourinho was just unlucky last season, and he missed his last breath in every game, but he has already seen the strength of Real Madrid. If he continues to coach Real Madrid this season, he may win the championship. Went to Chelsea.

Edward couldn't figure this out. Didn't he want to take revenge on Barcelona? How could he leave? Florentino didn't even want to fire him.

Is it because Chelsea gave too much money?

Afterwards, the situation in the European Cup was exactly the same as Edward remembered in his previous life, that is, Portugal’s performance in the knockout round was much better than in his previous life. Ronaldinho performed very well in the cup, scoring 5 goals before the semi-finals.

Of course, the performance of the Netherlands is also much stronger than in the previous life. The frontcourt of the Dutch team is almost the first team of Union Berlin. The tacit understanding between them is much stronger than that of other national teams. Edvard Carter also copied it Union Berlin play.

There is nothing exciting about the Czech Republic.

Sure enough, when the lottery was drawn, it was still the Netherlands vs. Portugal, and the final meeting between the Netherlands and Portugal that he was looking forward to did not appear.He originally expected Ronaldinho to lead Portugal to the European Cup 12 years ahead of schedule, but after seeing them draw the Netherlands, Edward was already startled. Portugal will not fail to enter the final, right?
The Dutch team is completely BUG in the European Cup.

#Position Name Age Number of Matches Nationality Team (at that time)
Van der Sar, Stekelenburg, Van Bommel, De Jong, Sneijder, Robben, Dirk Dirk, Van Persie, van der Vaart and Huntelaar are all current Union Berlin players or have played for Union Berlin. There is no difficulty in getting them to press high.

The remaining Stam, Bowman, Van Bronckhorst, Cocu, Davis, De Boer, Overmars, Seedorf, Van Nistelrooy, Zenden, Reziger, Heitinga also They are all famous generals.

The Dutch strikers are full of talents, and even Ma Kai and Kluivert failed to be selected for the European Cup squad.

This game will be a tough fight for Portugal.

Since the start of the game, the Netherlands has gained an advantage on the scene. There is no way. Today, the Netherlands' starters are almost all players from Union Berlin. Their cooperation is more than one level better than Portugal's tacit understanding!
Although Ronaldinho scored a goal with a header in the 3rd minute, the Netherlands equalized after only 5 minutes. Van Bommel found Sneijder with a long pass from the backcourt. After Sneijder and Van Persie pulled the Portuguese defense line , Van Persie suddenly made an inverted triangle pass back, and Robben cut inside and equalized the score with a shot from the right side of the penalty area.

Even the commentator was exclaiming: "This is simply the match of Union Berlin's top team against the first team of Union Berlin. In this civil war of Union Berlin, Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo completed the first two goals from the two sides of Union Berlin. , This shows the strength of Union Berlin. Cristiano Ronaldo, a young player, has scored 6 goals in this European Cup. He scored 5 goals in the World Cup two years ago. This young man will be The future leader of the Portuguese national team."

It's a pity that little Luo was born at the wrong time, this Dutch team is really too strong.In the 20th minute, after Figo dribbled the ball and was intercepted, the Netherlands once again made a quick counterattack. Van Bommel made a long pass from the backcourt. Robin van Persie scored a stunning header from outside the penalty area!

Portugal is already in jeopardy, although they held the score in the first half.But at the beginning of the second half, Sneijder's long shot from the front of the penalty area helped the Netherlands make another victory. The score of 3:1 almost declared Portugal out.

Ronaldinho scored a free kick before the end of the game, but Ruud van Nistelrooy, who came off the bench, scored another goal, completely killing the suspense.

Edward feels sorry for Portugal, and has more expectations. In his previous life, he always liked the Dutch team, and now the situation has changed. There is a little more uncertainty in the future. Now he is very interested in the final.

He comforted Ronaldinho, and then invited him to watch the game together, and they will return to Germany together after the European Cup is over.

Greece still entered the final, and Ronaldinho sat sourly watching the performance of his teammates.

In this final, the Greek team showed a tenacious fighting spirit. Their players are basically players from the domestic league, and the main players are several giants in Greece, such as Olympiacos and other teams. Therefore, the cooperation is not as good as that of the Netherlands, but there is no difference. too far.

Ronaldinho was very surprised by their defense, which can only be seen when a Bundesliga team meets Union Berlin.

Edward smiled and repeated what he said before, saying the importance of defense, but he was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye!Arjen Robben completely disrupted the Greek defense with a one-stop strike from the right before a cross from Robin van Persie volleyed the ball into the goal with ease.

Messi and Ronaldinho looked at Edward together.

Edward could only laugh dryly.

What the hell? He is the biggest contributor to the Netherlands' entry into the finals. The level of tacit understanding in the frontcourt of the Netherlands is a rogue among the national teams.

After this goal, Greece did not attack. They were still defending and counterattacking by using set-pieces, but Sneijder broke the deadlock again with a long-range shot.

After leading by 2 goals, the Netherlands also began to shrink their formation. They wanted to create a big score record, but the championship is more important. As long as they can keep this score, they can take off the hat of the uncrowned king.

After Greece was forced to attack, the counterattack of the Netherlands taught them to be human. The final score was fixed at 4:0, and Robben scored a hat-trick.

Netherlands crowned kings of Europe.

Edward thought to himself that this was really his gift of the championship, and at the same time lost the famous Greek miracle.
