Chapter 941 The Plum Ball King Arrives in London (1)

Just when Yang Cheng was about to chat with Martin, Ian Ayer suddenly called.

"Boss, Messi has come to London." Ian Al said excitedly.

Yang Cheng was startled, "Messi came to London? Why did he come to London?"

"Come to London with Barcelona to participate in the Champions League group stage against Arsenal." Ian Ayre explained with difficulty concealing his excitement.

Yang Cheng rubbed her chin, "What do you mean by calling?"

"Boss, I think you should come forward and talk to Messi in person. This is a good opportunity. I just learned from his father Jorge that he is being interviewed by a magazine in the hotel. After that, he will have enough rest time. If you agree, boss, I can arrange it immediately, and I think Jorge also wants to have an interview with you, boss."

After a little hesitation, Yang Cheng agreed. After all, the big boss came forward to solicit in person, which is already a common tactic in football.

"Then you can arrange it. I will set off for London right away."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng set off with his bodyguards. This time, instead of taking a helicopter, he took a Rolls-Royce and took the highway to London. Because the pier by the river was still being repaired, the small speedboat he ordered was temporarily parked at Among the berths of the Sunseeker Factory, they are not yet available for use.

Appreciating the beautiful scenery of the British countryside along the road, he arrived in London smoothly all the way, and then swaggered at the door of the hotel where Barcelona stayed. Waving his hands, he showed a determined smile at the camera. He is now playing a fight against landlords, fighting against Barcelona without any pressure at all. Anyone who has two kings and four twos in his hand, as long as he is not too idiot, is almost A sure win.

Of course, he didn't carelessly underestimate the enemy. It was Yang Cheng's true intention to put a little pressure on Barcelona and force them to mess around.

The reporters were stunned for a while when they saw Yang Cheng's appearance, but with their keen sense of smell, they immediately thought of the recent messy transfer case of Messi, and frantically pressed the shutter of the camera, just like it was the trigger of a machine gun , I can't wait to use the fastest speed to empty the bullet.

After Yang Cheng said hello, he didn't stop deliberately and didn't slow down. He is not a star, and he doesn't have the habit of posing for pictures. It is enough for the reporters to take some photos and post them on the Internet, leaving room for the outside world to imagine.

After entering the hotel gate, Ian Ayer and his assistants were waiting in the lobby early, and when they saw Yang Cheng appearing, they immediately stepped forward, "Boss, good day, I made an appointment with Jorge, and they didn't want to keep it secret, so they invited Boss Come to the room for an interview."

Yang Cheng nodded,

It is estimated that Messi also wants to put pressure on Barcelona, ​​"Let's go, go straight upstairs."

Ian Al took a few steps to lead the way, and took the elevator to a palace suite. This was not Messi's room, but a room opened by a magazine for interviewing Messi.

Gently knocked on the door and entered, there was clear Spanish from inside, and there was silence, and the interview was not over yet, Ian El asked Yang Cheng with his eyes if he wanted to wait outside.

Yang Cheng shook his head and pouted inside, meaning he wanted to go in and have a look.

Naturally, Ian Ayre would not make sense, so he pushed open the door, and the porch was full of people, except for the staff of the magazine and Messi's assistant, fortunately there was no Barcelona person, otherwise Yang Cheng would have to be taken away. It is impossible to type out.

There were too many people, and it was difficult for Yang Cheng to squeeze in, so he simply stood outside the crowd and looked in. Messi was sitting on a sofa, diagonally across from a beautiful blonde host, who was asking Messi a question, using the English, Messi can also speak English but certainly not very fluent, daily use is okay, business interviews are more difficult, so the magazine is thoughtfully equipped with an English translator, sitting behind Messi.

The hostess flicked her blond hair and said, "We all know that Leon, as the top star of Barcelona and the Argentine national team, you have won countless honors in your career, but the World Cup is an eternal pain in your heart, especially Last year in the World Cup in Brazil, you led Argentina all the way to the finals, but you had no choice but to be fatally hit by Götze. Unfortunately, you missed the Hercules Cup. Fans all over the world regret it. With the beginning of the next World Cup cycle, Leon you Do you hope to realize your dream in Russia?"

I don’t know how many times Messi has answered this question. Despite this, Messi still maintained a patient and humble attitude. After speaking in Spanish, the translator translated in English, “I don’t think I am the best player. I'm not a so-called number one player, I'm just an ordinary player, on the court, when the game starts, all players are the same.

For the World Cup, I certainly have the best expectations, but you know, the trajectory of football does not move according to human will. To win the Hercules Cup, my teammates and I must put in 120% of our efforts. I personally hope that Get better results in Russia. "

Better grades? The implication is the champion, the runner-up last year, and the better one can only be the champion.

After discussing the yearning for the World Cup for a while, the hostess asked about Messi’s youthful experience, “I read from the information that Leon, you and your father Jorge came from South America in September 2000. Continental came to Europa and joined Barcelona’s La Masia youth training camp at the age of 13. This experience is now sought after by countless young people. They say this is a dream journey. What do you think of this, Leon ?”

Messi smiled a little shyly, and said: "At that time, I didn't have any idea of ​​chasing my dreams, I just wanted to play in a better environment.

Actually I didn't understand anything at that time, I just remember that when we came to Barcelona, ​​we didn't feel too much cultural barrier, after all we spoke the same language, but it doesn't matter if you speak English, Barcelona is a city very friendly to foreigners A friendly city, this city attracts thousands of tourists every day, especially with a good football atmosphere. On behalf of the Barcelona club, I welcome young talents from all over the world to come to Barcelona to pursue their dreams. "

The atmosphere of the whole interview was very good. Jorge also stood in the crowd, watching his son talking with pride.

Going around, the topic returned to the World Cup and the national team again. This is also the question that reporters like to dig. After all, they always tout Messi's achievements in Barcelona, ​​and readers are tired of hearing it.

The hostess asked, "In 2004, you made your debut for Barcelona and quickly established yourself in the Barcelona team. By 2009, you had become the king of the Nou Camp. That season, you helped Barcelona won an unprecedented six championships, you have got everything you want at the club, but I want to ask you a question on behalf of the fans, why is the performance in the national team always not satisfactory?"

The harmonious atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the host finally showed his killer move, trying to use this question to create some trouble for Messi.

But Messi, who has already experienced a lot of battles on the court or in interviews, is very comfortable with this, and he replied without much thought, "I don't think my performance in the national team is not good, let alone that I have reached the level in the club." At the peak, I am used to seeing every day as a challenge, trying to surpass myself yesterday, and I have always asked myself this way.

As for the issue of the national team, it is very complicated. Whether it is Argentine domestic or foreign fans, they all have the greatest expectations of us. I can only say that my teammates and I will do everything to prepare for the arrival of the World Cup. At the beginning of the game, fight one by one to defeat every opponent. "

After a pause, it seems that Messi is deliberately avoiding commenting on his teammates, only emphasizing himself, "I have a group of excellent teammates, a team is composed of 11 people, we can't ask everyone to be in the best condition, but we I must make myself stronger, and in order to win the final championship, I will do my best."

The hostess did not answer, but changed the subject. Yang Cheng heard her mention her name, "Your condition is not good recently. Is it because of the transfer turmoil? The owner of Liverpool Club, Mr. Jason Yang Much appreciation to you."

For this question, Messi should have been prepared. He didn't see Yang Cheng coming, but he naturally said something nice to the media, "I am very grateful to Mr. Yang for his appreciation of me. He is also a great entrepreneur. , Of course he is also a good football club owner, and my teammates and I often discuss Mr. Yang's generous efforts for the team to win."

The hostess looked at Messi with a smile on her face. Obviously, this was not the answer she wanted, so she forced her to ask, "So, do you want to go to the Premier League? If possible, would you join Liverpool?"

This time Messi's thinking time became longer, and he lowered his head for a while before answering, "To be honest, my current thinking is very chaotic, and I can't give a definite answer. I love the city of Barcelona. With fans who love me the most in the world and the best living environment, Barcelona has given me a great life, and I can’t repay this kindness.”

This answer was completely different from Yang Cheng's previous statement at his own home, but Yang Cheng was not in a hurry at all, he knew that these words were just paving the way for the next turning point.

Sure enough, Messi said, "However, some people in the club seem to be tired of my existence, or they consider it from a commercial point of view and sell me when I am most valuable. I have anger, dissatisfaction and even resentment about this, but calm down Come to think of it, football itself is also a part of business. Since it is a business, it is normal to buy and sell.

And I'm just a player, I just want to put my energy on the green field, as for other things, let it take its course, maybe this is God's arrangement for me? "
