"What does he look like?" asked Marcelo Raffi.
In fact, he also saw it by the coach's bench, but he asked that on purpose.
"He's taller than me, he should be stronger than me, he looks kind, and he smiles at me." Messi smiled wryly.
He once imagined that when he saw Yang Yang for the first time, the other party might be a very proud and unsmiling person, but he didn't expect Yang Yang to smile at him, which made him a little helpless, out of courtesy, he quickly Waving.
"How did you feel?" Marcelo Raffi asked again.
Messi shook his head, "I don't know."
After a pause, Messi slowly confided: "In the past few months, I have been training hard, I want to compare with him, I want to surpass him, I started to stop resisting the gym, a With the height of Mi Liujiu, I increased my weight to 64 kilograms, which is in line with the standard of an 18-year-old player."
"Yes, that's right." Marcelo Raffi said affirmatively, "I remember that when I saw you again during the national youth team training, everyone felt that you were a different person, completely different, not only The body is better and more resilient, and the physical, tactical and technical aspects have also made great progress.”
"Everyone thought it was because you got into the Barcelona first team."
After hearing this, Messi smiled bitterly, "Entering the first team is only part of the reason, what really made me work hard to train hard is because I felt the threat from Yang Yang, he is like a sword, always hanging in the air. The top of my head, as if it could be chopped off at any time, I was terrified."
"Because of fear, I can only make myself stronger, so I practice hard, because I know that he has been training hard all the time. If I want to be stronger than him, I have to be better than him. hardworking."
Marcelo Raffi can understand Messi's mood.
Young people are all comparing each other, and no one is convinced by the other.
Messi has always been shy, but it does not mean that he is a fool. He has his own ideas, and even he thinks more than anyone else, and he is more sensitive than anyone else.
In a previous private conversation, Messi revealed that he was worried that Barcelona would introduce Yang Yang, which would cause him to have no place in Barcelona, and even be forced to leave like teammates such as Cesc Fabregas and Pique.
He was terrified, terrified.
"I think you are strong enough now." Marcelo Raffi said softly, but with certainty.
After Messi listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, he nodded, and did not speak.
"Since you are afraid of him, then kill him in today's game. As long as you kill him, you will no longer need to be afraid of him from now on. You will completely wash away this psychological shadow."
Messi took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Leo, I believe you can do it. You are the strongest player in this World Youth Championship. You are omnipotent, and no one can stop you!" Marcelo Raffi encouraged.
Messi sighed heavily, as if the whole person was relieved.

The referee of the World Youth Championship final is Terje Hauge from Norway. He is 40 years old. He is a very experienced international referee who has previously enforced the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
In this World Youth Championship, he enforced Argentina's group match against the United States. In that game, he gave three yellow cards, one for the United States and two for Argentina. This is obviously Argentina's advantage.
Sometimes, being more familiar with the referee is also an advantage.
But Thayer Hauge was obviously more impressed by Yang Yang. As soon as the Chinese team and the Argentina team came out at the same time, he took the lead to say hello to Yang Yang, because he was the one who enforced the European Super Cup a year ago.
In that game, Ajax lost to Valencia, but Yang Yang's tenacity impressed everyone.
He was given six yellow cards at the time, three each for Ajax and Valencia.
According to the information given by Ajax before the game, this Thayer Hauge is a card-playing madman. He has no tolerance for fouls and is very strict in law enforcement. Yang Yang has already informed this before the game. Head coach and teammates.
But exactly how it is, depends on the grasp of the game.
"We are playing the European Super Cup again this year, and the opponents are very similar to last year. I really hope you will enforce the law. Then I will go back to last year as it is, and then I can take revenge." Yang Yang said jokingly.
Ajax won the UEFA Cup, while the Champions League was Liverpool.
In last season's Champions League final, the Premier League Reds created one of the greatest games in the history of the Champions League, the miracle of Istanbul, they tied AC Milan with three goals behind, and finally in the penalty shootout defeated the opponent.
Yang Yang didn't watch the game live, but he did watch the live broadcast, which was really exciting.
Before Benitez coached Liverpool in 2004, he was the head coach of UEFA Cup winner Valencia. The styles of the two teams are very similar, so Yang Yang will say this.
Terje Hauge shook his head with a smile and said: "It shouldn't be. After I enforce the World Youth Championship, I may take a break for a while, and the new season is estimated to be dominated by the Champions League, and I will also coach Denmark's own league. "
"Oh, that's such a pity." Yang Yang looked disappointed.
Although he knew that Yang Yang was being polite, Taye Hauge was still very happy.
"Anyway, do your best!" The Norwegian held out his hand.
"Thank you!" Yang Yang shook hands with him.
Terje Hauge turned around and chatted with the Argentine players, especially Messi, who also encouraged them.
Seeing the referee walking back to the front of the team, Yang Yang stood near Messi, took the initiative to walk over, and stretched out his hand, "I'm very happy to meet you, Leo, I hope today will be a wonderful game."
Messi was stunned for a moment, but soon reached out his hand, "Me too, I hope we can work hard."
"Okay." Yang Yang sensed the opponent's fighting spirit.
After returning to his team, he took a deep look at Messi again, and the fighting spirit also ignited in his chest.

"Audience friends, this is the national TV sports channel."
"We are now broadcasting live for everyone at the Gogenwald Stadium in Utrecht, the Netherlands."

"China vs. Argentina!"
"This is the first time in the history of football for a Chinese team to reach the final of the World Youth Championship, and the second time in the history of Asian football. In the past history of the World Youth Championship, this event has always been a South American team. Among them, Brazil and Argentina have won four times, and they are the teams with the most championships in the World Youth Championship."
"And it is worth mentioning that after Brazil won the World Youth Championship in Australia in 1993, and then in 1995, 1997 and 2001, Argentina won the World Youth Championship three times, only in nine In the nine-year World Youth Championship in Nigeria, Japan and Spain from Asia met in the final, and in the end, Spain beat Japan 4-0 to win the championship.”
"Many people also think that the Chinese team in this year's World Youth Championship is a bit like Japan in the past. Many people even worry that the Chinese team will repeat the mistakes of the Japanese team and lose in the final."
"But I personally think that such worries are unnecessary, because being able to reach the final is already a recognition of our team's strength. In this case, no matter what the final outcome and score are, It's all for sure."
"Of course, we also sincerely hope that these young players of the National Youth Team can continue their wonderful performances and strive to be the biggest dark horse in the history of the World Youth Championship."
Live TV footage was brought to the scene.
Under the leadership of the referee, the players of the two teams walked into the stadium one after another.
After the players lined up at the entrance, the first to sing was the Chinese national anthem, the March of the Volunteers.
This is followed by the national anthem of Argentina.
"We can see the formation of the Chinese team in this game, and Clausen still has a four-three-three formation."
"The tridents in the frontcourt are Yang Yang on the left, Gao Lin on the middle and Chen Tao on the right. This is also the main configuration of the Chinese team in this World Youth Championship, while Hao Junmin starts in the midfield and is suspended in the semi-finals. Zhou Haibin also returned to the starting lineup in this game, with Cui Peng as the late midfielder."
"And our back line is still led by captain Feng Xiaoting."
"The Chinese team is neat and the Argentine team is also very neat. They still play the three-five-two formation. Their main goalkeeper Ustari, defenders Paletta, Garay and Barroso, midfielder Zabaleta Players such as Gago and Gago also all started, and the core player on the striker Messi is partnered with Gustavo Orwellman."
"In addition, on their bench there are players such as Aguero, a talented rookie who has received much attention in Argentina, and midfielder Biglia. Obviously, the strength of this Argentine team is even better."
"Tonight, it will be a tough game for the young players of the Chinese youth team."
"This is our top star Yang Yang, who just led the Chinese national team to qualify for the World Cup from the Asian region in the World Preliminaries. He is also the top scorer and one of the best performers so far in this World Youth Championship. "
"It should be said that this game will be a duel between the top players of the two teams, Yang Yang and Messi."
"The captains of the two teams, Feng Xiaoting and Zabaleta, are guessing, but it seems that Feng Xiaoting's luck is relatively poor, and he failed to grab the side with a stronger opening, which belongs to the backlit side, while Argentina grabbed the side of Shunguang. side."
"This is indeed unfavorable for the Chinese team, but we believe that this is only temporary, and the teenagers of the National Youth Team will definitely be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties."
"The game is about to start."
"We can see that Yang Yang and Gao Lin are standing in the middle circle, ready to serve."
With the whistle of the referee Terje Hauge, this world-renowned World Youth Championship final finally kicked off.
