Fame with a ball

Lin Zhigao, who left the Stamford Bridge Stadium with his teammates after the game, did not know that the big screen on the stadium had made Messi recognize him. He also thought that he could bring the team to the Champions League or Europa League this year It is best to face Messi in the European arena this season, so that the opponent will be shocked!

Although Barcelona did not win this game, they scored two away goals, which is not a bad ending.

Not to mention that the next quarter-finals of the Champions League will be held at Campno, Barcelona's home court. Isn't it inevitable to overturn Chelsea's big car by then?

It’s just that after the game, Messi didn’t go back to the hotel directly to pack his luggage and take the bus to the airport with his teammates. He didn’t know where he disappeared just after the game. His mobile phone, ipod and team uniform were all thrown at Stamford Bridge. In the dressing room of the visiting team, Guardiola couldn't find him in the entire hotel, even his friend Xavi didn't know.

Just when Guardiola thought Messi was hijacked by fanatical Chelsea fans, Messi finally returned to the hotel. At the same time, he was still holding a thick dozen newspapers in his hand.

Harvey looked at him in disbelief: "You went out just to buy these newspapers?"

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola also felt a little baffled.Messi is the core of the team, but he has never been a ball bully. He has a good relationship with every coach, even the team doctor. He has never run away after the game before. .It would be understandable if he went out to meet some beautiful woman secretly, but he came to London to buy newspapers...

Guardiola suddenly felt something was wrong: "If you want to see how the British newspapers report on this game, the latest issue will have to wait until tomorrow, right? It's better to read the news directly on the Internet."

"Uh..." Messi was a little embarrassed: "I don't want to buy a newspaper that reports our game."

Cesc Fabregas joined in with a smirk: "Are you going on a date with some crazy female fan, and then bought a few newspapers to perfuse us?"

Macy shook his hand in a hurry: "Of course not! I went to find a friend in London, but I didn't meet him, so I came back, the newspaper... because there is news about him on it, just read what is written What."

"You have friends in London too?" Noticing that Messi used the Spanish word for "he", Harvey didn't think he was referring to a beautiful woman.

Fabregas took the newspaper from Messi's hand and glanced at the headline: "The youngest top scorer in the history of the Premier League—isn't this the Asian boy on the big screen during the game just now?"

Harvey and Pique immediately came over to take a look gossiping: "Hey, yes, it's that boy just now. Only 19 years old? He's really young."

Guardiola noticed something else: "How did you know this boy, Leo?"

"It's not considered acquaintance, it's just met once." Messi smiled slightly and said: "When we came to London to play against Manchester United in the league last year, I met him on the playground of a university. At that time, I only thought he was young. Yes, but the football touch is very good, even better than when I was 18 years old, so I was a little bit careful - who knows to see him again now, he has become a professional player."

"The Barcelona youth team will never lack talent." Guardiola pointed out.

Messi nodded with a smile and put away the newspaper, "I just think it's good to pay attention to the news of other leagues."

Although Guardiola is the head coach of Barcelona, ​​he still cannot shake Messi's huge status in the locker room.What's more, the relationship between the two has always been good, more like a friend than a head coach and a player.So Guardiola stopped talking about it, clapped his hands and said: "Give you half an hour to prepare, we're going to get on the plane."

"No problem, boss~!"

……

At the end of March, the eight-to-four finals of the FA Cup kicked off in Great Britain.

Lin Zhigao is in excellent condition these days, as if something has stimulated all the potential in him, even in training, his performance is unbelievably good.He can perform a hat-trick every time he plays in the club's match--you must know that the defenders of the first team are defending him!

Warnock is very satisfied with Lin Zhigao's state. In his opinion, after entering April, it is a fatal moment for the team.Don't look at the fact that Queens Park Rangers have been able to occupy the No.3 position in the standings before. Although there are some strength factors in this, it is more because the Premier League giants are busy fighting in Europe!

In April, the Premier League teams in the European arena have either been eliminated, or have stabilized the overall situation, and began to spare energy to cope with the domestic league.The domestic league is a competition that they have to deal with sooner or later, because no matter how good it is in the Champions League, the domestic league rankings are over this season, and next season's European competitions will definitely say goodbye to you.

Today, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham... These six teams, which are usually difficult to chew on, finally got rid of other shackles and began to show their tyrannical strength in the Premier League.If you are not careful, as long as you lose a few games in a row, Queens Park Rangers' previous dream of entering Europe will be completely nullified.

Warnock doesn't worry about anything at this time, he only worries about Lin Zhigao's body-he is currently the team's only goal guarantee when facing giants.

Warnock asked Lin Zhigao the night before the FA Cup final: "I guess Stoke City will send at least two defenders to stare at you in tomorrow's game. Are you under pressure?"

"Pressure? What is that?" Lin Zhigao said with a smile, and the answer was very arrogant.

Although there are youthful and frivolous elements, but he is a man who aims to defeat the current football champion, how can he fall in a small FA Cup match!

Warnock was satisfied, very satisfied.

He has always been cautious, and even on that night, he dreamed of the team's first eight to four, second to the semi-finals, and finally to the final.

……

Warnock guessed right, Stoke City really sent someone to keep an eye on Lin Zhigao.

Stare hard.

Wherever Lin Zhigao went, no matter whether he had the ball or not, there was always at least one Stoke City player defending him.

And those with a large defensive scale are almost flesh on flesh, jersey on jersey.

However, because the opponent was just getting too close, blocking all of Lin Zhigao's actions, and there were no other suspicious or weird actions, so the referee didn't think it was a foul, and he didn't blow the whistle.

QPR have organized a total of three attacks since the start of the game, dragging Lin Zhigao's blessing, other players, such as Bosroyd and Campbell, they face a much smaller defense, so it is easy to at least shoot chance to score.

But also because Lin Zhigao was locked up, Queens Park Rangers' offense became less sharp, shooting three times and failing to score a goal.

The head coach of Stoke City Pulis stood on the sidelines, the corner of his mouth was drawn high, and he said, as long as the Chinese boy is strictly guarded, Queens Park Rangers are a toothless tiger!

Warnock felt furious.Before the game, he also thought about how the team should continue to play if Lin Zhigao was strictly guarded. The tactics he set up at that time were: if the opposing team sent at least two players to defend Lin Zhigao, then the team Other strikers will face much less pressure.Barcelona has Messi as a bait to give the opposing team a yellow card and a red card, giving his teammates at least a chance to shoot.Then Lin Zhigao can also be used in this way, so when Warnock explained the tactics to everyone before the game, he said that once Lin Zhigao is watched closely, don't be discouraged, and must run continuously to cause damage to the opponent. An illusion that he hasn't given up, and then Campbell and Bosroyd take advantage of the opportunity to score.

Aren't you going to destroy our main goal scorer?Then we will do what we can and give you a few more goals!

But Warnock has calculated everything, but he missed one thing-the other players on the team are not in good condition.

Playing football on a green field, strength is a key factor, but luck is also indispensable.In the past, those sharp shooters who took free kicks with every success also had the experience of not being able to score goals when facing an empty goal, let alone an ordinary Premier League player?

Seeing that his side wasted three excellent shooting opportunities in a row, Warnock sighed.Had he known that today's situation was like this, he should have issued a death order yesterday, telling the whole team to go to bed before eight o'clock!

I don't know what these guys did last night, or they worked too hard on the bed-look at the football you play, are you women's football?You are women's football! ! !

……

"Oh, what a pity, what a good chance to shoot, wasted again! If Lin Zhigao had kicked this ball instead, he would have scored!"

This is the fourth time that Duan Xuan has been so emotional in his commentary for the eight-to-four FA Cup games. Sun Zhengping, who has been in charge of commentating the Premier League games, has a severe cold and cannot comment.So Duan Xuan volunteered to come up, wanting to try to explain the passion of the Premier League—commenting a game with Lin Zhigao usually brings an inexplicable excitement to the Chinese commentator, especially when he scores a goal , the kind of passion that radiates from the inside out can make people directly orgasm.

"To the surprise of all the fans before the game, the players of Queens Park Rangers played softly in this game. It was the 5th minute of the second half. The reason is that Lin Zhigao, the core of the team's offense, was completely locked up by the three defenders of Stoke City."

"But I think that the Queens Park Rangers coach Warnock should have expected this situation before the game, and he also responded to it tactically. From the Queen's Park Rangers players to attack four times in a row It can be seen from the fact that he can create shooting opportunities every time. He should want Lin Zhigao to be a bait to give other players in the team a chance to score. It is a pity that the Queens Park Rangers players seem to be in a bit of a state today Not good, none of the four excellent shot opportunities scored a goal, and the score is still 0:0."

Sitting in front of the TV, countless Chinese fans who were staying up late watching the game just to watch Lin Zhigao score a goal were all roaring in their hearts at this moment: Your sister Warnock, hurry up and adjust your tactics! We are here to see Lin Zhigao score a goal. I have created four shooting opportunities for you, and if you don't make good use of them, you will replace Lin Zhigao, who can score goals!

"Lin Zhigao is still being watched to death on the pitch, but the number of players has changed from three to two. Could it be that the head coach of Stoke City, Pulis, wants to change his tactics? Haha, actually change The tactics are better. Just now the Stoke City players were almost sticking to Lin Zhigao. Seeing Lin Zhigao frowning, he should be in a bad mood. I hope that emotional factors will not affect his performance in the second half."

Somehow, Duan Xuan, who was explaining the game, suddenly laughed "hehehehe" into the microphone. The laughter was very thick and straightforward, and suddenly many female audiences in front of the TV were shocked.

Some female fans with ulterior motives, their brain cells are still stuck in Duan Xuan's commentary just now: Stoke City players are almost sticking to Lin Zhigao... almost sticking to Lin Zhigao...

They were a little annoyed and thought: Could it be that CP will have another pair from today?

……

The number 4 player of Stoke City who has been following me closely as if he is his follower is really annoying!

Lin Zhigao frowned tightly, thinking disgustedly.

Close defense is second. If you can't score a goal, you can also create opportunities for other teammates.

The key is the body odor after sweating all over the body of a caucasian...

Lin Zhigao felt that if he suddenly fainted on the court, he would not be tired, but dizzy!

At this moment, Warnock suddenly walked to the edge of the court and made a gesture!

This is the password for the evolution!

When seeing the coach make this gesture, not only Lin Zhigao, but even Bosroyd and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is said that these people still felt that the coach made Lin Zhigao the core of the offense in the game, he stole the limelight, and felt aggrieved by being ignored.Now they have no such thoughts at all.

Because in this game, Warnock said early on that Lin Zhigao was in the role of being sacrificed.

His being watched closely in exchange for scoring opportunities for other players.

As soon as Warnock's tactics were arranged before the game, several first-team players were happy in their hearts. They secretly thought: we must perform well in this game, try to score a few goals, and win the favor of the coach. In the future, we will become the core of the offense!

Lin Zhigao, who was sacrificed, did not express dissatisfaction with such tactics.This makes other players look at him more pleasingly, thinking that he doesn't rely on his talent to be arrogant, and he is still quite low-key and lovable.

However, sometimes certain ideas are good, but when they are actually put into practice, they find that they are not the material at all.

The forward players who had wasted so many shooting opportunities felt a little ashamed at this moment. They were thinking, isn't it a bit too self-indulgent to always want to score the first goal even though they are not that strong?If the game is scoreless because of us, the coach...will tear himself apart?

Regardless of whether Warnock thought about this situation before the game, the result is good now: almost all forward players in the world are aware of their shortcomings, and presumably, they will no longer rely on their temper. It's time to reign supreme in the locker room.

Of course, as a qualified head coach, Warnock cannot go to the battlefield with only one set of tactics.

He has second-hand preparations, that is, if the tactic of sacrificing Lin Zhigao to score a goal is unsuccessful, then release Lin Zhigao again, let him play freely, and launch a full offensive tactic to see if he can change the embarrassment before the end of the game score.

So, under Warnock's hint, Queens Park Rangers changed their rhythm and formation instantly.

"Oh oh oh! Queens Park Rangers are finally going to change formation - this is the offensive formation! Will this change be centered on Lin Zhigao?" Duan Xuan shouted in surprise.

At the same time that Warnock changed his formation, the head coach of another team, Pulis, also changed the formation of Snooker City.

From defensive counterattack to full attack.

From Pulis's point of view, Lin Zhigao, the main force of the Queen's Park Rangers, was locked up by his side, and the other players seemed to be a group of incompetent people. Unexpectedly, the game went on for most of the time and created five or six shots. Couldn't score another goal!

Since the strength of Queens Park Rangers is nothing more than that, why do you still play such a conservative and deadly defensive counterattack?

Just attack!

……

"Amazing!"

At the same time, BBC TV commentator Coburn was also surprised into the microphone: "Stoke City and Queens Park Rangers changed the tactics of the game together, from defensive counterattack to offensive. Both sides are attacking with all their strength. Formation! Did they agree to do this before the game?"

The changes that can be seen by the commentators, of course Pulis and Warnock can also be seen.

The two stood on the edge of the court, only ten meters away, looked at each other, and the two smiled at the corners of their mouths.

Pulis: Queens Park Rangers are nothing more than that, let's see how we break your goal!

Warnock: Play against us?Ha, don't you think that was our true strength just now?

As for Lin Zhigao, as early as the moment he saw the coach's gesture, he worked hard and rushed out of the blockade of Stoke City players in one breath.

Lin Zhigao has been suffocated for several 10 minutes. If the coach hadn't talked to him before the game and told him to "try to give his teammates some opportunities to play in the first half of the game", he would not have preserved his full-speed strength until now. Woolen cloth!

Extraordinary!Extraordinary!Extraordinary!

Although it is running without the ball, it feels really cool to be able to give full play to your speed!

Stoke City defenders Puig and Huth, who were left behind by Lin Zhigao's sudden acceleration, looked at each other and were a little stunned: "Just now... a figure rushed out? It's so fast!"

……

"Lin from Queens Park Rangers! Ferdinando's wide pass... Another shot! Goal in!" Coburn's commentary was passionate: "GOOOOOOAL! I don't know why, since Queens Park Parade Since coach Warnock changed his lineup, Lin seems to have taken a stimulant, and his strength has suddenly increased! He made two threatening shots in 10 minutes, especially this time, which broke the game on the pitch. Stalemate, the team leads 1-0!"

"Could it be that the gesture Warnock just made on the sidelines has magical powers that can change a player's state in an instant?"

Stoke City played against Queens Park Rangers. If Lin Zhigao did not play or played poorly, the outcome may be a five or five.

But for a Lin Zhigao who seems to have taken a doping... Stoke City's defenders feel a little powerless.

After breaking the deadlock in the 72nd minute of the game, Lin Zhigao scored again in the 83rd minute!

2: 0.

With less than 10 minutes left in the game, it is almost impossible for Stoke City to recover from the defeat.

Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The QPR players, cheering, waving their arms in celebration, rushed to the bench...

Lin Zhigao hugged and high-fived with his teammates one by one.

Bosroyd and Campbell looked at each other, smirked and took Lin Zhigao's arm, and then lifted him up high!

The other players immediately gathered around, those who lifted their buttocks, those who lifted their thighs, and even Lin Zhigao's head was held by Ferdinando, a big black man.

More than a dozen players threw Lin Zhigao high, caught it again, and tossed it high again.

Lin Zhigao felt very enjoying and proud at the beginning, but he soon realized something was wrong: "Who the hell pinched my ass?!"

But no one answered him, the teammates just threw him to catch him again, threw him to the ground, and then rushed to stack Arhat.

Even Warnock joined in the fun at the end, lying on top.

"Ahhhhhh!" Lin Zhigao screamed at the bottom: "You fat pigs! Get up for me!!!"
