In a street-facing apartment on Carlos III Avenue, three streets away from the Camp Nou, Messi was lying in the room, staring blankly at the ceiling, his eyes vacant, just like his mood at this moment.
He was very hesitant and at a loss!
In recent days, the team has sent away several players including Cocu, Davies and Kluivert. The famous players Luis Enrique and Overmars chose to retire, which suddenly made the first team
There are a lot of free positions, and the young players in the youth team are eager to try.
But Messi lacks interest in this aspect.
Because he knows that all this has nothing to do with him.
He has absolutely no future with this team!
Just a few days ago, another good friend of his also left.
At the beginning, he told Su Dong that the central defender whom Su Dong wanted to teach him a lesson, Gerald Pique, went to Manchester United.
Both of his two best friends chose to leave the team, which made Messi very hesitant.
He originally wanted to go on loan to other teams, such as Valencia, but it is said that this team is also experiencing some problems.
The transfer of head coach Benitez to Liverpool has caused many problems within Valencia. It is said that the new coach is likely to be Ranieri, who resigned from Chelsea.
Aimar also told him before that at this time, it is difficult for Valencia to be distracted by a young player like him. He hopes that if he waits and the time is right, Aimar will help him contact the team.
But Messi can’t wait any longer!
He was almost driven crazy by this depressing life!
Even Josep Colomel, the director of Barcelona's youth training program, specially found a psychiatrist for him and asked him to receive regular consultations from a psychiatrist. Messi accepted, but soon, he messed up again.
.
So, at this moment, he was lying on the bed in the room, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He can't understand!
Since playing for Barcelona's first team in Porto last season, he has not played for the first team again. Even daily training is with the second team. There is only a wall between the youth team and the first team, but they seem to be worlds apart.
Is my performance not good enough?
no!
Throughout the 2003-04 season, Messi played for a total of five Barcelona teams, including the first team's warm-up match. In addition to the first team, he played in the other four age groups and the second team.
They all scored goals.
A total of thirty-five goals were scored in official matches. If unofficial matches are also included, the total number of goals scored exceeds fifty.
According to the requirements of different teams and different head coaches, Messi has played in many different positions such as left winger, center forward, right winger and attacking midfielder, and he has performed well for all to see.
Even youth training director Josep Colomel admitted that Messi is fully capable of playing for the first team.
The second team can no longer satisfy Messi!
At first, they thought Messi was too thin.
Well, Messi trained hard and even contacted Nuno Cruz through Su Dong and customized some training for him to strengthen his body and muscles. So he trained from August 2003 to April 2004.
During this period of time, my weight increased by a full four kilograms, all of which came from muscles.
And you must know that due to childhood illness and hormones, the results Messi achieved did not come from the gym, but were obtained through daily training, which is very hard-won.
Four kilograms of muscle have made Messi a lot stronger, and he no longer looks like the little kid he once was.
But the first team is still far away.
Second team coach Gratakos told Messi that he hoped he would be more patient.
"Barcelona is a wealthy club, and the first team of a wealthy club is completely different from other teams. That is where results are produced, not where young players are trained, so what you need to do is continue to improve yourself in the second team, perform better, and convince
The head coach of the first team, make him believe that you are qualified for the position of the first team."
"You know, the players Rijkaard relies on are all experienced in the competition. They are talented like Quaresma and as strong as Kluivert. It is still difficult to play the main position. Don't think so much now.
!”
But can Messi not want to?
Any teenager his age would be confused, they said, especially those struggling on the fringes of top clubs.
Cesc Fabregas is gone, and so is Pique. Messi keeps asking himself, should he leave too?
Go, where are you going?
Messi confided all his anguish to a psychiatrist, hoping that the other party could understand him and clear the air for him.
What he didn't expect was that when he came to the psychiatrist's clinic again one day, he saw a group of psychology students who were observing Messi and studying and discussing him as a subject.
At this moment, Messi felt like a white mouse lying on the experimental table, letting them point and point at him. They tried to use various theories and explanations to study the deepest privacy of his heart.
.
This annoyed him, so he got angry on the spot and left angrily.
Needless to say, the result was that the psychological evaluation failed. The psychiatrist called Colomel's office directly. Messi received a scolding. Everyone felt that he was making too much of a fuss.
Even when he got home, his parents felt that he should endure it.
"You have to remember, Leo, only stars are qualified to make demands. After you fail to succeed, everything you value, including your talent and hard work, is worthless!"
Messi felt that his father might be right, but he was not convinced.
Why?
It's obviously someone else's problem, it's obviously the psychiatrist who didn't take his privacy seriously, but why does everyone think it's his fault?
Messi can’t understand!
…
The phone rang in the corridor outside.
Messi ignored it.
When her mother ran over to answer the phone, she muttered a complaint, meaning that Messi was not actively answering the phone?
"Leo, your phone." Mother called from outside.
Messi went a little crazy. He reached out and grabbed the quilt, covering his whole body. At the same time, he picked up the pillow and covered his face.
"If you don't answer, just say I'm not here!" Messi shouted impatiently.
"Hello, I'm sorry, Leo is out, do you have anything to do with him?"
The voice of my mother talking on the phone came into the room.
"Oh, okay, Mr. Su?"
In bed, when Messi heard these words, he immediately jumped up. He didn't even pack the sheets and pillows, but rushed out of the door, shouting continuously, "I'm here, I'm here."
"
Under the suspicious look in her mother's eyes, Macy snatched the phone away and called her.
"Su, is that you?" Messi said in a very happy tone.
At this time, he would call him, and his surname was Su. He couldn't think of anyone else.
"It's me, Leo." Su Dong's familiar voice came from the phone, with a smile.
Suddenly, Messi's eyes became wet.
He has been bored at home for several days. He needs someone who can listen to him, someone who can understand him and give him some advice.
If Aimar can’t do it, what about Su Dong?
"Su, I miss you so much!" As he spoke, Macy's tears fell unsatisfactorily.
At this moment, there are very few people he can trust and talk to, and maybe Su Dong is the only one.
"Do you miss the feeling of having your head touched by me?" Su Dong asked jokingly on the phone.
Messi didn't resist as usual. Instead, he hummed and asked, "Where are you?"
"Still in China."
"Oh." Messi was disappointed for a moment. He thought Su Dong had returned to Spain.
As long as Su Dong comes back, whether in Valencia or elsewhere, Messi will run to him immediately.
But China is too far away.
"Man, I heard something about what happened to you recently. I'm really sorry. I've been busy with competitions and dealing with things recently, and I've neglected you a little." Su Dong said apologetically.
"It's okay, I'm... pretty good." Messi forced a smile.
"I will arrive in Barcelona tomorrow, will you come to pick me up?" Su Dong suddenly asked.
"tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow."
Messi's heart that had sunk to the bottom suddenly popped up again, and his whole body jumped for joy.
"Are you coming to Barcelona tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"So, what the outside media says is true. Are you really planning to transfer to our team?"
This is the news report of the Catalan media for several days in a row, and they obviously got the news.
It is said that Laporta first went to Brazil to renew his contract with Ronaldinho and had an in-depth conversation. Ronaldinho then called Sudong and persuaded him to join Barcelona.
At the same time, Barcelona coach Rijkaard also called Su Dong and promised to give him the main center position.
After dealing with the matter in Brazil, Laporta and Rosell parted ways. The chairman of Barcelona, thinking that he was on the outpost during the Asian trip, flew directly from Brazil to Shanghai, China, and secretly met with Su Dong and Su Dong's friends here.
broker.
The Catalan media, just like celebrating a holiday, have been hyping up Su Dong, believing that Su Dong is about to join Barcelona.
Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, even personally commented on the significance of Su Dong's joining in his column. He believed that Barcelona had signed the strongest superstar in European football for the next ten years, which would become the most valuable asset in the history of Barcelona.
!
Messi didn't quite believe it at first, but now that he received a call from Su Dong, he believed it!
"Great, Su!" Messi was very happy for Su Dong.
Judging from Su Dong's situation, he will definitely be reused after joining Barcelona. It is said that the transfer fee will be very high, and his annual salary is the highest in the team, which is the same as that of Ronaldinho after his contract extension. This shows that the club attaches great importance to him.
Pay attention to.
But soon, Messi became a little sad.
This is a good thing for Su Dong, but what does it have to do with him?
Isn't he still the same young boy who struggled to wait for an opportunity in the second team?
"Leo, I'll be alone tomorrow. Come pick me up from the plane and take me around!" Su Dong suggested on the phone.
"Okay, no problem." Messi agreed readily.
"In addition, I have carefully prepared a gift for you, which can bring you good luck."
"Really?" Messi was a little excited, "What is it?"
"You'll know tomorrow!"
Su Dong's bad laughter came from the phone.
This guy is as unscrupulous as the author named Chen Aiting!
