Chapter 788 I Want to Be Stronger than Him!

When Messi knocked on the door of Guardiola's office, the Barcelona coach was watching the video of Real Madrid's 5-0 win over Jerez, especially when Yang Yang came off the bench, he studied it very carefully.

As a manager, Guardiola never believed in luck.

From zero to zero to five to zero, something must have happened to Real Madrid.

So this change was brought about by Yang Yang? Or from Goody? Or are they both?

If both, is Yang Yangqi the decisive factor or Guti is more important?

This should not only be studied by Guardiola, the opponent, but also by Real Madrid coach Benitez.

It is necessary to understand this problem in order to clear the clouds and see Real Madrid's problems more clearly.

...

Messi's sudden arrival surprised Guardiola.

Sensitive, he noticed something wrong with Messi early in the morning, but he thought it was a good thing, so he didn't take it too seriously until Messi took the initiative to come to the door, and Guardiola realized that he was still underestimating Yang Yang's influence on Messi.

Please sit, pour water, Guardiola has been thinking about how to start this discussion.

Although he was a top midfielder in the past, frankly speaking, he still can't fully grasp the psychology of superstars like Yang Yang and Messi, because each of them is unique.

Just like the Messi in front of him, he is sensitive, suspicious, sentimental, and emotionally fragile. He is like a child who needs someone to shield him from the wind and rain around him, so that he can devote himself to the game.

Guardiola still clearly remembers that when he first took office, he strongly demanded that Messi must improve his diet, which made Messi very dissatisfied. West began to feel the benefits from it, so he took the initiative to accept it.

The number one superstar under his command is such a player.

In terms of talent and talent, he is better than Yang Yang, but when it comes to self-discipline and diligence, he is much weaker than Yang Yang.

And more importantly, Yang Yang is very stable, like a robot that doesn't need rest and never makes mistakes.

When Guardiola was thinking about opening his mouth, he put down a glass of boiling water in front of Messi, and the Argentine superstar suddenly raised his head and stared at his head coach.

"Boss, I want to know, how can I be stronger than him?" Messi said with extremely determined eyes.

So straight to the point, Guardiola was caught off guard, and the words he had just prepared were useless.

"You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, you know, you've been good enough," Guardiola reassured.

As a professional player, he is very clear that the greater the pressure, it may not be a good thing for the players, especially for players of this type like Messi.

He has always felt that Messi is the kind of genius who plays football completely by feeling. They know what they are going to do and how to do it on the court anytime and anywhere, and they have enough football IQ to reflect on what they have committed. mistake.

For this type of talent, Guardiola believes that there is only one way to fully activate his potential, and that is to give him the freedom to shine unbridled on the pitch and shine at its brightest.

Facts have proved that Messi has indeed been very close to Yang Yang last season.

But unfortunately, Yang Yang is also a genius who is very good at reflecting on himself, summing up experience and lessons, and steadily improving every year. He does not have the extraordinary talent of Messi, but he is diligent and hardworking, and he trains himself more comprehensively.

It can even be said that Yang Yang is the most comprehensive player ever.

These are two different types of players, on different paths, sprinting towards the same goal.

"It's not enough, I want to prove that I am stronger than him!" Messi gritted his teeth and said loudly.

This idea has been suppressed in his mind for several years. Since the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, he has always had this idea, but a few years later, he has made great progress, but he found that Yang Yang is also in the same progress.

In the past, Yang Yang was in the Premier League, and this feeling was not strong, but now, Yang Yang came to La Liga and joined the sworn enemy Real Madrid.

In the past period of time, almost every day, even all the time, the media was comparing Yang Yang with Messi.

And Messi proved that his mind has become stronger than ever.

The opponent has come to the door, he needs to counterattack!

Guardiola can feel the strong desire in Messi's heart at this moment, which is definitely a good thing for a professional player, especially a player of his level.

It represented the deepest longing in his heart.

Of course, wanting to win over Yang Yang doesn't mean he hates Yang Yang, it's two different things.

"I can properly adjust the team's tactics, especially the attack in the frontcourt, but you still need to show enough good performance on the pitch to convince your teammates." Guardiola decided to help him.

Defeating Yang Yang is not only beneficial to Messi, but also to Barcelona.

"I will use my performance to prove myself!" Messi assured with great certainty.

...

After sending Messi away, Guardiola frowned, thinking hard about the team's adjustment.

He originally hoped to be able to introduce Ibrahimovic from Inter Milan, but the Swedish center was cut off by Real Madrid. It is said that he was seduced by Yang Yang.

Ibrahimovic did not come, but Eto'o in Barcelona fell out with the team again. Cameroon players were very dissatisfied with Barcelona's repeated attempts to use him to exchange Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic. , and finally moved to Inter Milan at a high price of 40 million euros.

However, Barcelona failed to bring in David Villa from Valencia in time before the transfer market closed. This has led to Barcelona's lack of offensive line this season. It is certain that the attack will be organized around Messi, but The premise is not to weaken the team's offensive.

If Yang Yang could have come...

Such a thought suddenly flashed through Guardiola's mind, but he tried desperately to stop himself from thinking about it any longer.

This is an almost criminal line of thinking.

At present, Yang Yang has scored five goals, Messi has scored four goals, Villa has also scored four goals, and Ibrahimovic. These attackers have shown full strength this season. , Obviously they are also competing with each other, it depends on who falls behind first.

Thinking of this, Guardiola got up from the sofa and walked over to the Barcelona schedule across the wall, with a scarlet pen circled on it.

On December 29, the twelfth round of La Liga!

Century Derby, Barcelona vs Real Madrid!

…………

…………

On the evening of September 22, Santander Sardinero Stadium.

He passed several defenders of Sporting Santander in a row, and rushed the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area.

After the last goal was scored, Messi looked extremely excited, and rushed out of the stadium quickly, running all the way to celebrate.

"This goal is very similar to the third round of La Liga three days ago, when Real Madrid played against Jerez at home. Yang Yang scored the first goal after coming off the bench. At that time, Yang Yang dribbled the ball from the left rib to the right. It is also after consecutively breaking through several opponents' defensive players horizontally, kicking up and hitting the goal."

"Tonight, Messi's goal is very similar to Yang Yang's. It looks like Messi's response to Yang Yang in the air. The battle between the two world's top stars has become the most important in La Liga this season. Interesting points and topics.”

"I believe that after tonight, the debate about who is better between Yang Yang and Messi and who scores more beautifully will continue."

"Counting this round, Messi has scored twice in two consecutive games, which also allowed him to temporarily reverse Yang Yang in the scorer list and lead with six goals."

"And tomorrow night, Real Madrid will be a guest at the Love Song Stadium, and they will challenge Villarreal away. This is also a tough fight. We will see if Yang Yang can bring the ball from the away game."

...

Messi's way of scoring goals and his celebration after scoring have sparked heated discussions between the media and fans after the game. .

Although in the final stage, Athletic Santander pulled back a goal, but Barcelona finally relied on Messi's brace to win 4-1 away from Athletic Santander and temporarily reverse Real Madrid to the top.

Messi and Barcelona have both reversed to the top, which also greatly inspired the Barcelona fans. Everyone began to firmly believe that the battle for the La Liga title this season has started ahead of schedule, and both Barcelona and Real Madrid have shown their enthusiasm for the championship. Determination and confidence to win.

The air-to-air exchange of fire between Yang Yang and Messi, the two top superstars, has also attracted widespread attention from the media and fans.

In the past, they were in different leagues, and it was impossible to tell the winners and losers only by the Champions League. This season has been different. In the same La Liga, the competition between the two superstars is even stronger.
