Liverpool are busy looking for partners, while other clubs are already paying attention to the new season. Everyone is busy with their own affairs, and Lister is at Camp Nou at this time. August 27, 2007, the first round of La Liga
The game starts at Camp Nou. Barcelona faces Sevilla at home.
For example, List has a special position in Barcelona. When List first cooperated with Laporta, Laporta already reserved a box position for List. Many agents were negotiating with the club.
, there will be such a clause. That is to give the agent a fixed box for one or two years, which can be regarded as a disguised agent commission. When the relationship with Riester was not good, if Laporta did not have a contract, he would be
I want to directly cancel Liste’s box treatment. Many stars who have a bad relationship with Laporta are treated this way. Fortunately, it is normal again. Liste once again got the top-level salary for the next three years in Messi’s contract.
Right to use the box.
Laporta, who was very dissatisfied with last season, finally drove away Ronaldinho. With Ronaldinho's departure, one person quickly rose to the top, and that was the 23-year-old Ine
Star. Although he played a lot in the first two seasons, most of them were when Xavi was injured, and Ronaldinho and Giuly replaced them when they were injured. But now that Ronaldinho is gone, he suddenly
Became the main force in the frontcourt.
Iniesta's dribbling, ball control, and small-range passing are all so good. Even Riester couldn't help but praise Iniesta after looking at it.
"Rister, our Barcelona youth academy is already very good."
"kindness."
List nodded. Although he doesn't like Laporta, List recognized this sentence. Among the current European football giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the best youth training camps. Compared with them, several Premier League players
The youth training camp of a wealthy club is almost the same as rubbish. Of course, this is also because the selection range of the Premier League giants is not as wide as that of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
"Messi has always played as a left winger in PSV, but today he plays as a right winger. Messi, Messi received a pass from Deco. Messi, Messi cut inside. Messi's
The frequency of his feet was very fast, passing Dragutinovic and Messi, passing the ball!"
Although Messi is playing in La Liga for the first time, he has played nearly 30 Champions League games in PSV. The opponents he encountered are all strong European teams, so he is not nervous at all when playing in La Liga. Facing Deira
Gudinovic passed over easily. He seemed to be trying to break through from the wing, but suddenly made an inside cut. Then he took the ball from the space between Dragutinovic and Escud.
Passed it on.
"Henry, there was no tacit understanding between Henry and Messi on this ball. Henry ran half a step slower and the ball was taken by Palop. This is the first time Henry and Messi have cooperated in an official game. There is definitely a lack of tacit understanding."
The commentator was very sorry. Messi's series of breakthroughs just after he got the ball were so beautiful, and so was the final pass. It's just that there was a lack of tacit understanding between Messi and Henry, otherwise Henry would have just got the ball. So basically
A goal was scored.
"Messi is Barcelona's most important signing this season. From the departure of Ronaldinho, we can see that Messi came to replace Ronaldinho. Judging from the breakthrough and passing just now, Messi
The West is worth investing in.”
Riester nodded to Messi's performance. Messi is more at home in Barcelona than in Eindhoven. Because Barcelona is stronger, Barcelona's ball control and short passing style of play are more suitable for Messi. It's just that Messi
After all, I just came to Barcelona, and the tacit understanding between me and the players is still not enough. After several excellent breakthroughs, the cooperation was not successful.
"It's already the 71st minute of the second half. Although Barcelona has the advantage in the game, it has never scored."
Needless to say, Barcelona’s strength. The current midfielder is a combination of Yaya Toure, Xavi, and Deco, and the frontcourt is also a combination of Henry, Iniesta, and Messi. After Ronaldinho left, Barcelona
The locker room is indeed a lot more stable. With Barcelona's strength, if there had not been conflicts in the locker room last season, they would not have been able to get a place in the Champions League. Now the problems in the locker room have been eliminated. Although Barcelona is no longer a dream
It was so strong in its second peak, but its strength is still one of the top teams in La Liga.
"Iniesta came to the center. Iniesta, he broke through Renato Iniesta and passed the ball!"
Iniesta's breakthrough ability is very powerful. Although he is not as direct as Messi or as uncanny as Ronaldinho, his passing is light and elegant, just like Duan Yu's Lingbo Weibu. Deco, ha
Viduo lacked vertical breakthroughs, but this time Iniesta suddenly came to the center and immediately disrupted Sevilla's defensive line. He broke through Renato and passed the ball to the left before Keita came over.
.
"Henry, Henry has got the ball. Henry starts very quickly, and the left wing is Henry's best area. Henry, cross!"
When Henry was at Arsenal, he always attacked from the left when he got the ball. This time, after getting the ball from the left, he felt it immediately. After breaking through the opponent, he picked up the ball with his left foot. The ball pocketed a little.
The small arc came to the vicinity of the penalty area. The ball was passed very well, making it difficult for the goalkeeper to handle. The back line that also retracted had to press out again.
"Messi, Messi picked Dragutinovic."
The ball was not powerful, and it happened to be in the path of Messi. Dragutinovic saw the ball passed to Messi's feet and immediately made a tackle. Because he faced Messi several times in this game.
Even the Spanish players were unable to guard Messi. Therefore, he understood that he was simply not good at guarding Messi one-on-one.
So he didn't want Messi to speed up. When he just got the ball, or before he stopped the ball, he directly tackled the ball to destroy Barcelona's attack. But after Messi saw him tackle, he didn't stop the ball and just flicked the ball.
He picked it up gently. The height was not high, about one meter. Then he jumped and even dribbled the ball past Dragutinovic.
After Messi passed Dragutinovic, he stopped the ball with his right leg, and then shot directly with his left foot. The ball did not even land at the time, but Messi directly volleyed the ball.
"Messi! Messi had a very good start in Barcelona. He scored a goal in the first game. This was the first goal. Barcelona led Serbia 1-0 with Messi's goal.
Vilia.”
"Messi! Messi! Messi!"
Barcelona fans are very happy. Laporta spent huge sums of money to introduce Messi this summer. Barcelona fans have other opinions. But as Laporta said, fans are the most forgetful. As long as Messi performs well enough
, they can even quickly forget Ronaldinho, the King of Camp Nou back then.
After having a ball, Barcelona played much more calmly. Barcelona is a team with strong possession of the ball, and this advantage becomes even greater after taking the lead. Before the end of the game, Dos Santos, who came on for Xavi, was in the penalty area.
Breakthrough inside, was tripped by Escud and won a penalty kick.
Although Messi has just arrived, he is Barcelona's chief penalty kicker. Messi took the penalty kick very calmly, deceiving Sevilla's goalkeeper Palop and scored the first goal of the game.
Two goals. He scored twice in his first appearance. In just one game, he has already conquered the fans of Camp Nou.
"Joan, he will become a legend at Barcelona."
"I hope so."
Laporta doesn't have deep feelings for Messi. It's just that Messi is his main supporter and cost Barcelona a high transfer fee. If the transfer fails, then Laporta will have no choice but to get out.
But once the transfer is successful, he can tell the Barcelona members that Russell is not the only one who can handle the transfer.
The game was won, and Messi's appearance was very successful, but Lister is not optimistic about Barcelona this season. Rijkaard is really not a top coach, and Barcelona's offensive routine is as simple as a few back and forth.
Same. And the control is not very strong. If you encounter a team with a strong midfield and strong counterattack ability, this Barcelona is still no match.
However, Lister was still very satisfied with Messi's successful debut. So on the way back, he turned on the computer to see how the media described Messi's debut. But as soon as he turned it on, Lister frowned.
Because Riester saw a piece of news that he didn't want to see.
"Another Premier League club in the hands of American owners!"
Lister looked at the contents with some anxiety, and it turned out that Dubai International Capital had withdrawn from the acquisition of Liverpool. Because they believed that the 450 million pounds they offered was already the highest limit, and if it was higher, they would
They will not invest. Dubai International Capital is different from the Abu Dhabi Consortium. They invest after careful calculation.
They withdrew, and Liverpool immediately started negotiations with the two American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillette. According to current media reports, the two parties negotiated very quickly after the meeting, and basically reached an agreement within a day or two of contact.
.This made Riester very angry.
Lister knew that Liverpool was looking for a partner. And Lister was also paying attention to this matter. Until a few days ago, only Dubai International Capital was qualified to cooperate with Liverpool. How come they withdrew in one day and then came to the United States?
Capital. Especially Tom Hicks and George Gillette. Others don’t know, but Lister knows these two people clearly. George Gillette is a liar, and Tom Hicks was deceived by George Gillette.
To Liverpool.
The capital strength of these two people is not very good at all, and they are not the real top rich people. The current subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is so serious, these two scammers even went to Liverpool to cheat and cheat. Lister did not expect this kind of situation.
There are still American bosses who dare to invest in football.
Riester immediately opened the phone and called. But after saying a few words, Riester's face immediately turned livid. It had only been a few days, and things had changed too fast, and he was really a step too late.
