Chapter 260: Messi’s Embarrassment (Second update, please vote for me)

Chen Yingxiong scored twice in the game against Juventus, continuing his hatred of Juventus as a Naples player.

However, he did not help the team win a victory.

At the end of the game, Juventus finally scored a point through continuous and unremitting offensive.

This goal was scored by Juventus captain Chiellini, who was overwhelmed by Chen Yingxiong during the game. In a corner kick, he beat Carragher and headed the football into the goal guarded by Reina.

In the end, both sides shook hands and made peace.

Although it was a draw, the performances of both sides were completely different.

Even though the Liverpool players conceded a goal at the last moment, there was no expression of dissatisfaction on their faces. On the contrary, they were happy. At the end of the game, there were even hugs and celebrations.

As for Juventus, they are very dissatisfied with this result.

Being forced to a 2:2 draw by Liverpool at their home court can only show their failure. The opponent scored two away goals, and Liverpool was even more comfortable returning to their home court. They just need to shrink their defense and wait for opportunities to counterattack like they did in this game. Even if they don't score a goal, as long as they don't concede a goal, they can be guaranteed to advance.

Juventus is a bit miserable, they must attack with all their strength on the road and strive for goals. And in this way, it will definitely leave a lot of space behind, which will give Liverpool an opportunity to counterattack. Everything is just like this game.

Conte stood on the sidelines of the court, looking at the frustrated Juventus players, and suddenly thought of Chen Yingxiong's provocation before the game.

He realized that he seemed to have been fooled by Liverpool!

It turns out that their purpose is to make Juventus lose their mind, and they just want Juventus to press out and attack... No matter how calm they are, as long as they press out to attack, there will always be space behind them. This is what Liverpool need.

Football, to put it bluntly, is a game of competing for time and space. Some spaces can be earned through passing, running and dribbling on the court, and some spaces can be taken out through psychological warfare before the game... Just like this time.

Conte turned his head and glanced at Martin O'Neill, who was cheering, and then at Chen Yingxiong.

What a wily and scheming person!

This time, the away game will be particularly difficult for Juventus. To score a goal, you must not concede the ball. If facing other opponents, Conte may still have such confidence. But think about it, there is Chen Yingxiong in Liverpool's lineup! With him here, you want him not to score goals? That is really harder than climbing to the sky!

※ ※ ※

After the game, the media's focus was still on Chen Yingxiong.

Who allowed him to score two goals?

These two goals are his fourteenth in the Champions League this season. He is now the top scorer in the Champions League, five goals more than Messi!

Also in this knockout round, Messi scored a goal. He has also scored nine goals in the Champions League this season. If placed in the first two seasons, this kind of performance would make people worship him and look forward to whether he can hit his own record of 18 goals in the Champions League in a single season.

But this season, because of Chen Yingxiong, Messi's nine goals are simply not enough to watch, and he has not exerted much influence in the media.

Compared with the previous two seasons, there is a huge gap...

This was only the first round of the first round of the knockout round, and Chen Yingxiong had already scored 14 goals. If he played later, how much better could he be?

In addition to these fourteen Champions League goals, Chen Yingxiong has scored forty goals in the league this season, four goals in the FA Cup, four goals in the League Cup, and four goals in the European Super Cup. He also scored two goals.

Calculating this, he has scored 64 goals this season. And there is still a third of this season that we haven’t played yet.

If nothing else happens, Messi’s 76-season total goal record set just last season will probably only last for one season...

※ ※ ※

He lags behind Chen Yingxiong in the number of goals scored in the Champions League, and now also lags behind Chen Yingxiong in the total number of goals scored in the season.

This made Messi unhappy.

But he didn't show it, he wanted to fight back in his own way. I will never talk nonsense in the media like Chen Yingxiong did.

He wants to score a goal to retaliate against Chen Yingxiong. When he catches up with the number of goals and surpasses Chen Yingxiong, that is the best counterattack!

However, Messi's father and agent Jorge hates Chen Yingxiong so much that he curses Chen Yingxiong for falling into a goal drought whenever he can.

But his curse never worked...

Now Jorge particularly hates Chen Yingxiong, because that boy Chen Yingxiong scored two goals in the game. What does this have to do with Messi? A group of reporters came to ask themselves what they thought of this?

He forgot that he was very concerned about this matter at first, and was sure that Chen Yingxiong and those damn English media would regret it because they angered Messi!

Looking at it now, Chen Yingxiong did anger Messi, but he seems to still be alive and well...

When reporters were besieging him and insisting that he talk about the fact that Chen Yingxiong was five goals ahead of their son, Jorge suddenly understood why Messi told reporters that he was unwilling to talk about Chen Yingxiong. Topic.

Because this is really annoying! It’s just that he doesn’t score as many goals as others, but it’s more important than reporters to talk about it over and over again, and even to talk about it in front of you. It feels like stabbing you and then asking you "How do you feel?" It's so exciting.

He raised his arms and said loudly to the reporters: "I'm sorry, I refuse to talk about that person! Thank you! Please don't ask me questions about that person again! I am Messi's agent. He's Messi's father. I have nothing to do with that person, and I don't know much about his situation. I think you might as well ask his agent and himself..."

※ ※ ※

Messi's father was having a hard time being besieged by reporters, and Messi himself was under a lot of pressure. Within the team, everyone was discussing Chen Yingxiong's goals with great interest before, and then discussing how to help Messi surpass this damn guy.

But now, fewer and fewer people talk about this topic. It's not that they are no longer interested in this matter, but that they don't dare to mention it.

Because this matter clearly shows that Chen Yingxiong is far ahead of Messi. Keep mentioning this matter, which will only make Messi more embarrassed...

Isn't this a slap in the face?

In order to avoid Messi being angry, everyone can only pretend that they don't remember the competition between Chen Yingxiong and Messi.

But that doesn't take the pressure off Messi.

In fact, Messi knows very well why no one mentions this matter. In fact, he hopes that everyone will mention it, just like before, discuss this matter in the locker room after training, and everything will be business as usual.

What does it mean to be like this now? It's because they all feel that Messi's chances of surpassing Chen Yingxiong are slim.

In other words, even Messi’s teammates don’t believe that he can win against Chen Yingxiong in this competition for top scorer...

What could be a worse outcome than this?

If your own people don’t believe in you anymore, it’s almost like betraying everyone, right?

This reality makes Messi very unhappy.

It's impossible for him to resent his teammates. Many of them are still his good friends. They also have good intentions in not talking about it.

Therefore, Messi could only vent his anger and dissatisfaction towards Chen Yingxiong.

Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and Chen Yingxiong is the culprit that caused Messi to fall into his current situation! If you don't trouble him, who will?

Messi swore in his heart that no matter what the cost, he would never allow Chen Yingxiong to get the top scorer in front of him!

In the first knockout game, he only scored one goal, but gave two assists to his teammates.

He felt that he would not be able to defeat Chen Yingxiong if he continued like this.

Chen Yingxiong never passes the ball to others and is extremely selfish. But that selfishness really works in this top-scorer battle.

It seems that I should be a little more selfish...

The competition with Chen Yingxiong is not only related to the ownership of honor, but also related to one's own face and status. In fact, it would be better if the opponent was Ronaldo. But it was Chen Yingxiong. He could lose to anyone, but he just didn’t want to lose to that annoying Chen Yingxiong!

He has never hated someone so strongly, and Chen Yingxiong made him do it.

He simply didn't dare to think about what kind of ridicule and humiliation he would suffer if he lost to him.

In order to defeat Chen Yingxiong, he must be selfish.

But being selfish is not something he alone has the final say on, it requires the tactical support of the entire team.

First of all, Messi needs the support of head coach Guardiola.

He went to Guardiola to talk about it alone.

※ ※ ※

Guardiola announced a season ago that he would not renew his contract with Barcelona and left his position as Barcelona head coach. However, he only rested at home for a year, because Barcelona led by Vilanova was completely suppressed by Mourinho's Real Madrid, and he had to come back to coach Barcelona and Mourinho's Real Madrid.

So far, everything is going well. The two teams are chasing each other in the league. Real Madrid has a slight advantage, but it has not completely left Barcelona behind. As long as they are not careful, they will be at the top of the league. Will change owners.

In the Champions League, Barcelona also has good momentum.

Although Xavi is old, Inieste has grown up, and Messi has become more mature, plus Cesc Fabregas who succeeded Xavi.

Such a Barcelona team is still a strong team that scares the whole of Europe.

Of course, apart from himself, the biggest contributor to Barcelona's ability to achieve such results is Messi. It was his goals and assists in the game that repeatedly helped the team overcome difficulties. He has long been famous now. Many times, Barcelona's opponents will be so frightened when they see Messi in the starting lineup that they don't know how to kick the ball. There are also some teams that regard Messi as their idol, and they are willing to play with their idol even if they lose...

Sometimes, being famous is really a good thing.

Conquering the enemy without fighting is the best strategy for Barcelona to win.

In Guardiola's view, Chen Yingxiong is nothing but a clown trying to please others. Messi is the number one player in football today. What else can Chen Yingxiong do besides scoring goals? Will he be extraordinarily beautiful? Will he assist his teammates a dozen times a season? Is his image as positive as Messi's? Is his commercial value higher than Messi? Does he have more honors than Messi?

Who would have thought that Guardiola had so much confidence in Messi, but Messi came to him to complain...
