Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 33: The Invincible Messi, Who Can Defeat Him? (First Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chen Yingxiong said after the game that Terry provoked him during the game, so he was so excited.

Terry expressed silence on this topic.

He kept silent about this matter, nor about Chen Yingxiong.

This game hit him far harder than the two games last season.

Because this game was a game in which he was fully prepared, worked hard, and tried his best to compete with Chen Yingxiong. He always believed that with his ability and experience, if he went all out, guarding Chen Yingxiong should not be a problem.

But Chen Yingxiong knocked him to the ground with two goals.

Advocaat also saw something was wrong with Terry's mental state after the game.

At the same time, he was also reflecting on his strategy - he originally thought that the smooth sailing made Chen Yingxiong lose his vigilance and become arrogant. That's why he came up with the strategy of praising Chen Yingxiong.

Who would have thought that Chen Yingxiong wouldn't do this... He praised and praised him for accepting everything, and then gave Chelsea two fatal bullets.

This is quite like Chelsea hitting Chen Yingxiong with a sugar-coated cannonball. Chen Yingxiong ate the sugar-coating and then returned the cannonball.

It seems that he has not been paying much attention to him in the past few years. Chen Yingxiong is no longer the Chen Yingxiong he is familiar with. He is more mature...

At the post-match press conference, Advocaat said sincerely that Chen Yingxiong is already a world-class star and can be compared with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"He was clueless."

Since then, Chen Yingxiong has had another nickname - "bug".

After Advocaat finished praising Chen Yingxiong, he ran to comfort Terry - this was the top priority. No matter how powerful Chen Yingxiong is, he is still an enemy. It is impossible for Chen Yingxiong to show mercy next time they meet because of his sincere compliments. On the other hand, John Terry is the captain of the team and the main central defender. His mood swings will have a great impact on the team and must be controlled within a smaller range.

He didn't praise Terry in public because he didn't want to push Terry to the forefront again.

It was because of strategic needs before, but now, he has to consider Terry's psychological feelings.

On the way back to London from Liverpool, Advocaat had a good talk with Terry, and this time he opened up.

He first apologized to Terry for bringing up old things before the game, and then told Terry that as the head coach, he would continue to trust the captain and that Terry's position in the team was still very important.

It is not Terry's responsibility to fail to guard Chen Yingxiong, because there are few defenders in the world who can successfully guard Chen Yingxiong. In one-on-one, many world-class central defenders will only end up being completely destroyed. But the 32-year-old Terry withstood Chen Yingxiong's fierce offensive for 77 minutes by himself. You must know that at that time, all the offense of the Liverpool team was handed over to Chen Yingxiong, and Terry also blocked it with his own strength. The whole Liverpool attack.

Advocaat gave Terry a thumbs up.

"You are still one of the best centre-backs in the world. Chelsea needs you and I need you."

The conversation finally made Terry feel better.

He decided to put his grudge with Chen Yingxiong behind because he also discovered that it would be self-inflicted to always compete with Chen Yingxiong... It was too uneconomical.

This world is so beautiful, why can’t I always get along with him?

Chen Yingxiong is in really good shape in the new season. After three league rounds, he has scored five goals and one assist. Tops the league's top scorer list.

At the same time, Liverpool also got rid of the decline of last season, winning three consecutive games, scoring seven goals, and conceding only one goal, allowing Liverpool's league ranking to rise to second place, only behind the same three consecutive wins and scoring nine goals. Manchester City only conceded one goal.

Manchester City lost the league title at the last moment last season, and their efforts came to nothing.

It didn't collapse because of it.

This summer they continued to recruit players to expand their strength, while retaining head coach Mancini in an attempt to make a comeback.

So it has been aggressive from the beginning of the league.

It seems that the power of money is indeed very powerful. As long as the Manchester City management does not make mistakes and continues to give Mancini enough trust, Manchester City will surely rise to become a force that cannot be ignored in the Premier League. At least this season, it seems that the feud between Liverpool and Manchester City will definitely continue to be staged, maybe even more intense than last season.

After Martin O'Neill took charge of Liverpool, the team's performance improved significantly. The whole team's mental outlook was not forgotten. The fans were also full of hope and even began to fantasize about competing for the league championship this season.

Despite a lot of praise from the outside world, Martin O'Neill still seems very calm and low-key. In an interview, he said that Liverpool has not really completed this turn, and he still has a lot to do if he wants Liverpool to regain its wealthy temperament.

He also firmly denied the rumor that the team's goal is the league championship: "The league championship? That is a matter for Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea to consider. What we have to do now is very simple - return to Europe first."

In the fourth round of the league, Liverpool defeated Sunderland 2:0 away from home. Chen Yingxiong scored another goal, extending his number of goals on the league's scorer list to six.

With four consecutive wins, Liverpool has never had such a start since entering the new century.

The media immediately burst into praise and praise.

The fact that Liverpool is rising strongly under the leadership of Martin O'Neill has been known to many people not only in the UK but also in Europe.

Is Liverpool, a giant that once swept across Europe, really coming back?

Their first step back to Europe begins with the new season's Europa League (also known as the Europa League) group draw ceremony.

On August 27, in Monaco, UEFA held the second European Ballon d'Or Award Ceremony and the Champions League and Europa League group draw ceremonies.

Chen Yingxiong did not go this time because he was not among the final three candidates. 2012 can also be considered a competition year, because there is the London Olympics and the European Cup.

Therefore, the person who entered the three-person shortlist this time is not Chen Yingxiong. He has neither participated in the Olympic football matches nor the European Cup. In the past season, he did not participate in any international matches except the Premier League matches. It is strange to have him. Being able to make the ten-man squad depends on his achievements in the Premier League. Record as the top scorer.

But without the support of team performance, he finally found it difficult to go further.

The final three-man roster is Messi, Xavi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

These three people are already regulars on the shortlist of three people in various selections, and there is no suspense or novelty at all.

Liverpool actually sent representatives there, and they went openly and honestly. Unlike a year ago when they just came to make green leaves for Chen Yingxiong, this time they were the protagonists.

Liverpool qualified for the Europa League by winning the League Cup, and this time the draw ceremony was theirs.

The draw ceremony for the Europa League was held first, and Liverpool were assigned to a group with Anderlecht from Belgium, Sporting Lisbon from Portugal, and Grica from Slovenia.

Perhaps only Sporting Lisbon can bring some threat to Liverpool. Liverpool has great hope of advancing to the knockout stage.

Niang, the general manager of Liverpool who got a good draw, had an obvious smile on his face. Being able to enter the knockout rounds of the Europa League is the first step in Liverpool's revival.

As a giant with a Champions League pedigree, how can Europe lack the voice of Liverpool?

After the Europa League group draw ceremony, there will be an on-site selection and award ceremony for the UEFA Ballon d'Or.

In the end, Xavi was slightly inferior and lost to his teammate Messi again.

Although Xavi led Spain to the European Cup finals, they ultimately lost to Germany, which led to Xavi scoring fewer points.

Germany's leader Ozil finally ranked fourth in this selection, just shy of surpassing his Real Madrid teammate Ronaldo and ranking in the final three.

Messi's Ballon d'Or award was well-deserved and convincing, although he did not receive extra points for his national team performance. But his performance in the Champions League last season was really shocking. Scoring eighteen goals in one season was an achievement that no one could have imagined before. Many people believed at the time that eighteen goals in a single season would not only significantly improve Altafini's record, but it might not be broken again in the future.

Eighteen goals in a single season, this is really a record that should not belong to this earth and now.

Just for this performance, Messi is enough to win the Ballon d'Or.

At the awards ceremony, the guests and the host praised Messi very well. Messi held this trophy that Chen Yingxiong once called "really ugly" and smiled brightly.

Professional green leaf Harvey kept applauding beside him with a smile on his face. After that, we even took a group photo with Messi, which was a great time.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo stayed away, with a look of dissatisfaction and disdain. He regards Messi as his biggest competitor, and of course he does not think that Messi is better than him. In fact, his performance is already very good. He was the top scorer in La Liga last season, scoring 51 goals, setting a record for the most goals in a single season in La Liga history, beating Messi to win the top scorer, and Led Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona in the league and win the league championship.

This performance is very good, but unfortunately his opponent is Messi. Ronaldo's experience seems to once again prove to people the tragedy of those outstanding players in the same era as Messi in today's football.

Who can break Messi's monopoly?

nobody. Because in addition to being the best in the world in personal strength, Messi also has a team that is the best in the world in terms of team strength. The combination of the two allows him to maximize his abilities.

He is both an opponent and has super personal abilities, perhaps on par with Messi, but they lack a team as strong as Barcelona. At present, the one closest to Messi is Ronaldo. Real Madrid, under the leadership of Mourinho, is getting closer to Barcelona. Maybe in the near future, Ronaldo may beat Messi and Real Madrid beat Barcelona.

No one has mentioned Chen Yingxiong. This guy's personal ability is not bad, but his vision in choosing a team is really bad, and he went to Liverpool. Well now, we can't even participate in the Champions League. How can we talk about beating Messi or surpassing Messi?
