Chapter 687 The eager Messi

On the sidelines, it was also a world of ice and fire.

"Damn it!" Rijkaard rushed out of his seat, waving his fist angrily.

The goal he conceded made him angry, not the way it was conceded. He admitted that the goal was scored beautifully, which even left him speechless. What made him angry was that the goal was conceded so quickly!

At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona fell behind again, which made all his arrangements and instructions during the halftime break immediately in vain.

"Well done!" Ferguson applauded. He turned to his assistant Queiroz and said, "Hey, these bastards scored a goal so quickly. The arrangements for the halftime break are going to change."

Queiroz glanced at the furious Rijkaard. He seriously doubted that if Rijkaard heard what Ferguson said, would the grumpy Dutchman not be able to help but beat him up?

"It can't be helped. No one thought that Wien could shoot from that angle and score a goal!" Rijkaard's assistant Harvey Rocca comforted him.

"Asshole! Damn it! Shit!" Rijkaard continued to curse in anger.

Xavi Rocca was a little puzzled. Didn't he just concede a goal? The second half of the game has just started and there is still game time. Isn't it the end of the world now?

………………

After venting his anger, Rijkaard said to his assistant Rocca: "Let Xavi and Larsson warm up!"

Rocca was shocked. He didn't expect Rijkaard to make substitutions so soon, and two people in a row. However, he would not question Rijkaard's decision. He stood up and walked to Xavi and Larsson to convey the message.

The head coach’s opinion.

After receiving the news, Harvey immediately got up and went to warm up. He did not expect that he would get a chance to play in this final.

Xavi came from the La Masia youth training camp and made his first appearance for the Barcelona first team in 1998. He was only 18 years old at that time. Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is already 26 years old and in his prime. In recent years,

He has always been Barcelona's main midfielder.

However, a serious injury in December last year kept him away from the court for five months. He only returned from injury a few days ago, but there is still a long way to go before returning to his best form. Although he was lucky enough to be selected for the Champions League this season.

He was on the squad for the finals, but he never thought he would actually be able to play.

Being called to warm up so early, it was obvious that he was about to come on as a substitute, Larsson was also very surprised.

He is best suited as a center forward, but due to his fast speed, delicate skills and good ball-playing ability, he often plays as a second forward, winger or even midfielder. He is not tall, but he has excellent heading skills that Nordic players are best at.

However, perhaps due to his mixed race, he has delicate foot skills that ordinary Nordic players do not have - his dribbling and breakthrough are quite threatening. His awareness and ability to grab points are also recognized as world-class. His comprehensive ability makes

He is a crucial forward figure in the Swedish national team and Celtic.

After coming to Barcelona, ​​due to the abundance of talents in the offensive line, the 35-year-old has always been a substitute for Eto'o, basically playing in some insignificant games or garbage time. Such as the Champions League finals.

He didn't even think about playing in a major game and playing in such an important period of time as the game was only 50 minutes old.

Both of them are experienced people. Although they are excited, they are warming up seriously and making final preparations for the appearance.

………………

When Xavi and Larsson were warming up with some excitement and preparing to go on stage, in a box in the stands of the Stade de France, a young and short player had eyes full of envy.

He is the genius in Barcelona, ​​Leo Messi, who is known as Maradona's successor!

The talented Argentine midfielder, who will celebrate his 19th birthday next month, is one of the most talented young talents in world football today and is considered one of the young talents who have the potential to challenge Yin Jun.

Last season, the 17-year-old Messi already played for Barcelona. This season he has become a rotation player for the Red and Blues, scoring 8 goals and 3 assists in all competitions.

Originally, Rijkaard planned to bring this super genius with him in the Champions League final, but Messi was injured in the game against Chelsea in early March. He has just recovered from the injury and has not had time to practice with the team. To be cautious,

Rijkaard ultimately did not include Messi in the squad for the Champions League final. This left the Argentine genius to sit on the sidelines in such a crucial game.

Seeing his competitors like Yin Jun, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney representing Manchester United on the field, but he can only be a spectator in the stands, Messi feels bitter.

At his current age, Yin Jun has become the core of Manchester United, leading Manchester United to defend the Champions League title and truly reach the top of Europe; the Portuguese has also become the main force of Manchester United and lifted the Champions League trophy with Manchester United; the English striker joined

Manchester United arrived a little late, but as soon as they arrived, Manchester United became an unbeatable main force, and now they have also scored in the Champions League final.

Thinking that Ronaldo and Rooney both scored goals in today's game, Messi felt unprecedentedly anxious.

If I can no longer gain a firm foothold in the team in the new season, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to compete with those three guys.

………………

Ferguson glanced at the Barcelona bench, thoughtfully, turned to Queiroz and asked: "What do you think?"

"Rijkaard is very anxious," Queiroz said.

Ferguson nodded and said: "Yeah! He should be angry after losing a goal, but his emotions seem to be a little out of control."

Well, there is only one answer!

Obviously, Rijkaard was very impatient, or to put it more bluntly, this conceded goal made him unbalanced. The fundamental reason is that this person lacks confidence in leading the team to win the game.

Thinking of what this man had said in Spain before, vowing to lead the team to win the championship, Ferguson became even more convinced of his judgment: People who are truly confident tend not to make big talk, but are very low-key and simple.

For example, a certain old man...

Originally, he planned to continue to attack after leading 2:1 to see if he could take the opportunity to score another goal. However, due to the current situation, Ferguson changed his mind.

In the 51st minute of the game, Rijkaard replaced Edmilson with Xavi and replaced Van Bommel with Larsson, almost desperately trying to attack, Ferguson called team captain Yin Jun to the scene.

Bian conveyed his opinion: defensive counterattack.

"We are not in a hurry," Ferguson said. "It is the Barcelona people who are anxious now."
