Chapter 2 Peak Messi
"Lin, Lin, did you hear what I said?"

Seeing his friend distracted, Deulofeu waved his hand in front of his eyes and asked with a puzzled face.

"Well, I'm listening!"

Lin Quan came back to his senses and replied.

Deulofeu looked in disbelief and asked curiously:

"What were you thinking just now, I called you several times and you didn't respond?"

Seeing his friend's puzzled expression, Lin Quan knew that this guy's curiosity was offended.

So he found an excuse and said perfunctorily:
"I was just thinking, how many goals can Messi score this year?"

Messi is Deulofeu's idol. As soon as he heard Lin Quan mention his idol, he immediately became interested.

"I think there must be sixty or seventy balls?"

梅西在2010-2011赛季一共打进了57粒进球,其中俱乐部53球,国家队4球。

The performance of this season is obviously better than last year, so the total number of goals has a high probability of surpassing last year.

Hearing Deulofeu's answer, Lin Quan shook his head with a smile and said:
"Gerard, isn't Messi your idol? Why are you so conservative in your predictions?"

"Conservative?"

Deulofeu looked bewildered, sixty or seventy goals are still conservative?

He was very curious, in Lin Quan's opinion, how much is unconservative?
"Then how many goals do you think Messi can score?"

"I think there can be an eighty or ninety ball!"

Lin Quan replied seriously.

"Stop joking, do you know what the world record is?"

When Deulofeu heard Lin Quan's words, his eyes widened with disbelief.

You know, the current world record is only 85 goals.

If Messi can score eighty or ninety goals, doesn't that mean he has a chance to break the world record?
But is this world record so easy to break?

Gerd Muller's record was created in 1972. So far, no one has been able to break it for 40 years, not even anyone close to this record.

Although Messi is great, Deulofeu dare not imagine that Messi can break this record.

"I know, the current world record is 1972 goals in a natural year created by German player Gerd Müller in Bayern Munich in 85!"

"But in the first five months of this year, as of this game, Messi has scored 46 goals, which is less than 40 goals away from Gerd Muller's record."

"And it's only been five months this year, and he still has a lot of time to continue to create goals. Based on his current state, I don't think this record is so unattainable!"

Deulofeu was finally convinced, and he began to calculate the probability of Messi breaking the world record with his fingers, and did not bother Lin Quan again.

Lin Quan withdrew his gaze from Deulofeu and looked back at the field.

After scoring the fourth goal, Messi and other Barcelona players walked to the coach's bench to find their coach Guardiola.

"Thank you, Pep, these four goals are for you!"

Messi gave Guardiola a hug and whispered in his ear.

Guardiola patted Messi on the back vigorously, his eyes were a little red, and his nose was a little sour.

"I thank you too, Leo, you deserve the cheers of 10 people at Camp Nou!"

The bits and pieces of his four-year coaching career at the Nou Camp surfaced in front of him one by one at this moment, which made him feel mixed.

He is a player from Barcelona's youth training. Since joining Barcelona at the age of 13, he has played in Barcelona for 17 years.

It can be said that he spent most of his career in Barcelona.

After retiring and transforming into a coach, the first team he coached was Barcelona's B team.

It is precisely because of his outstanding coaching performance in the Barcelona B team that he won the favor of Barcelona and was quickly promoted to the head coach of the first team.

Subsequently, in the four-year coaching career of the first team, he won 3 league titles, 2 Champions League titles, 2 King's Cup titles, 3 Spanish Super Cup titles, 2 European Super Cup titles and 2 World Cup titles for Barcelona. Club Cup Champion.

During his four years of coaching Barcelona, ​​Barcelona fans called it the Dream Three Dynasty. It was the best period in Barcelona's history, none of them.

Such brilliant achievements not only give him a very high status in the hearts of fans, but also allow him to win the respect and love of the players.

There are many good players at their peak, but at the peak of their careers, there are not many players who meet a good coach, achieve a series of achievements, and win a lot of championship trophies.

A group of Barcelona players including Messi, especially those young players who were promoted by Guardiola from the youth training echelon, are very grateful to Guardiola.

Without him sending away big-name players such as Ibrahimovic and Eto'o, these young players may not have a bright future.

Without his pass control tactics, Barcelona's record would not be so good.

Now, such a meritorious coach who led them to grow and achieve brilliant results is leaving.

Many young players are very disturbed, they are worried that they will lose their place in the new coach's tactical system.

Therefore, when they saw Guardiola's true feelings, all of them mustered up the courage to send him back again:

"Stay here coach, Barcelona need you!"

"Yeah, stay here, boss, we need you too!"

Guardiola's mood is a bit bitter. He has achieved brilliance in Barcelona and still has so many excellent players under his hands.

If conditions permit, he actually doesn't want to leave.

However, the club changed its chairman, Laporta left, and Russell, who was replaced, did not have a good relationship with him.

In particular, Russell used the name of reform to eliminate dissidents, and even deprived the title of honorary chairman of the legendary legend Cruyff who had made great contributions to the team.

This made Guardiola very disgusted with Russell, and as the head coach of the club, it would be very difficult for him to do a good job if he could not handle the relationship with the club chairman.

There have been signs of this this season, and some players headed by Pique have gradually tended to leave his control.

This made Guardiola feel that this was a warning from Rosell to him through the mouth of the players, forcing him to leave.

Therefore, Guardiola decided to leave Barcelona without discussing his next home.

In order to show his attitude, he is not a traitor to Barcelona, ​​he was just forced to leave.

Therefore, when faced with the player's retention at this time, he could only shake his head with a wry smile:

"Stop talking about that, boys, the game is not over yet, enjoy the game and enjoy the cheers of the fans!"

Perhaps Guardiola's refusal to retain the players had some impact on the players' mood. As a result, in the next game, Barcelona not only failed to score a goal, but also fouled and received cards one after another.

Tello and captain Puyol received yellow cards within 5 minutes one after another. Messi also missed a single goal in the 87th minute.

If it was normal, Guardiola would definitely express his dissatisfaction on the sidelines at this time, but this time, he chose to sit on the bench on the coach's bench and drink water calmly, without leaving his seat.

It was already 1-4, and there was only [-] minute left in the game, and it was only [-] minutes including injury time. It was impossible for the opponent to come back.

As long as the players don't make low-level mistakes and get red cards again, everything else doesn't matter.

But it doesn't matter even if they get a red card, because Barcelona missed the league championship early this season. They were opened up by Real Madrid in the standings by 7 points. The win or loss of the last game does not affect the result at all.

For such a game with no desires and no desires, it is enough for Barcelona to play casually.

After 4 minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Relying on Messi's big four, Barcelona defeated their city rival Espanyol 4-0 at home, ending all home games in La Liga this season.
