Chapter 395 Messi, I feel like I’m being cheated on!

In a box at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Barcelona's acting president Bartomeu was chatting with his confidant Masferrer about the Barcelona club's presidential election this summer.

Last year, Rosell was forced to resign early due to the many scandals caused by Neymar's transfer.

As Barcelona's first vice president, Bartomeu temporarily succeeded him as the 40th president of Barcelona.

After experiencing the feeling of being president, Bartomeu developed ambition and he was unwilling to be just acting president for a term of only two years.

So he plans to formally participate in the presidential election this summer, remove the word "acting" from his name, and officially become the 41st president of Barcelona.

His main rival is Laporta, the former president of Barcelona.

As the founder of the Dream Three Dynasty, Laporta enjoys a high status in the hearts of Barcelona fans. Moreover, with the connections and prestige he accumulated during his tenure as president, he is the number one favorite to be the next president.

Compared with Laporta, Bartomeu has too little experience and no outstanding achievements.

Therefore, if Bartomeu runs for the presidency against Laporta in the normal way, the probability of his failure is very high.

However, Bartomeu has an advantage that Laporta does not have.

That is, he is the acting president of Barcelona and he can mobilize most of the resources of the Barcelona club to serve himself.

Therefore, as long as he accumulates enough qualifications and merits before the election and is recognized and accepted by Barcelona fans, his chances of winning will be greatly increased.

To this end, during his time in office, Bartomeu appointed Enrique as head coach and introduced key players such as Suarez, Rakitic, Bravo, Ter Stegen, etc., trying to impact Barcelona's fifth Champions League trophy and the second treble in team history!

This season, Barcelona has successfully won the league championship and the King's Cup thanks to the outstanding performance of MSN.

Now, they are only one trophy away from winning the second treble, the last one, which is also the most valuable Champions League trophy! Thinking of this, Bartomeu couldn't help but get excited.

After planning for a year and a half, the time has finally come to reap the rewards.

"Haha, Enrique is really good. Our offensive in the front court is getting more and more fierce. I don't think Manchester City can hold on for long!"

Masferrer was also very excited. He was Bartomeu's confidant. As long as Bartomeu succeeded, he, his confidant, would naturally follow suit.

Being in charge of such a big club involves transfer deals worth hundreds of millions of euros, and the profits are huge.

Rosell's gray income that was discovered alone is close to tens of millions of euros. As for the amount that has not been discovered, I'm afraid only he himself knows the exact amount.

"Well, Messi's performance in the second half is getting better and better. I have a feeling he's going to score a goal soon!"

Bartomeu had a faint smile on his face, and his every move showed an air of having everything under control.

Masferrer had a look of admiration on his face. He was worthy of being the future president. His aura was becoming more and more like that of a real president.

However, as soon as Bartomeu finished speaking, a new goal was really scored.

However, the goal was not scored by Barcelona, ​​but by Manchester City.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Lin Quan received a wonderful pass from De Bruyne and scored his second goal, changing the score to 2:1!

Manchester City reversed Barcelona and temporarily took the lead!

When Bartomeu saw Lin Quan send the ball into Barcelona's goal for the second time, his smile froze on his face.

He seemed to hear the sound of something breaking. That was his dream of becoming the president of Barcelona club!

…

In another box, Laporta, who is also running for club president this summer, was furious when he saw Lin Quan score Manchester City's second goal.

He greeted Enrique and Bartomeu's entire family in his heart, and then he realized something, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Haha, didn't Bartomeu rely on this championship to compete with me? Now that the championship is on the line, then the position of club chairman will be in my pocket, right?"

"Sure enough, the Dream Four Dynasty will be established in my hands. I have to thank Bartomeu. Suarez and Neymar are really worth buying!"

On the court, Lin Quan doesn't care about the intrigues between Barcelona's two presidential candidates.

After seeing the football roll into Barcelona's goal, he put his hand to his ear and ran to the edge of the field near the stands.

A deafening roar suddenly sounded at the scene!

Manchester City fans shouted excitedly, giving all the praise to their hero! As expected, Lin never let them down in major competitions! "See, this is the pride of our Manchester City, this is the real number 10!"

In their excitement, Manchester City fans couldn't help but show off to the neutral fans around them and even to Barcelona fans.

Looking at their expressions, it seems that they can't wait to show off Lin Quan to the whole world, for fear that others don't know that Manchester City has such a great player like Lin Quan!

"Not bad, not bad. Lin Huang is really amazing. Manchester City has really found a treasure!"

"Alas, when this guy played in the Bundesliga before, I saw that he was extraordinary. I just don't know what the Bundesliga team is doing. Why don't they keep him!"

"It is said that Bayern had contacted Lin Quan, but for some unknown reason, the two sides failed to reach an agreement. I don't know whether Bayern regrets it now."

In a box somewhere in the stadium, Bayern chairman Rummenigge and manager Hoeness both looked unhappy.

At the beginning, they chose Gotze between Gotze and Lin Quan because he was a local player.

Now it seems that this decision was extremely stupid.

Although Gotze's ability is not bad, it is not a loss to buy him at the price of 37 million euros.

But compared with Lin Quan, whose market value has risen to 250 million euros, Gotze is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

These two players are simply not of the same level.

There was once a peerless genius in front of them, but they did not cherish him.

The most painful thing in the world is to regret after you lose something.

If God could give them another chance, they would say three words to that player: Come to Bayern! If they had to add a time limit to this contract, they hope it would be... 10,000 years.

Even after retiring, you have to stay in Bayern and be a Bayern legend!

However, they no longer have such an opportunity.

On the sidelines, when Guardiola saw Lin Quan score the goal, he excitedly opened his arms, jumped up on the spot, and waved his fists wildly in celebration.

After completing this celebration, he stretched out his two hands, extended the index finger of his left hand, and pinched the thumb and index finger of his right hand into a circle, which were placed side by side to form the number '10'.

After counting the numbers, Guardiola raised his arms again and again, signaling the audience to give Lin Quan, who scored the goal, a warmer round of applause.

"Fuck, Guardiola is actually asking for applause for Lin Huang, am I seeing this right?"

"The last person who was treated like this was Messi, right?"

"Haha, Lin Huang's performance in this game is not inferior to Messi in his prime. What's more, he is Guardiola's adopted son. It's not surprising that he did this after dying!"

"Fuck, you bald guy, tone it down a bit, your mouth is crooked from smiling!"

On the other side of the field, Messi couldn't help feeling bitter when he saw this scene.

Guardiola had only done this to him before. At that time, he was the only candidate in Guardiola's mind, but now...

This made him feel like someone he cared about very much had suddenly fallen in love with someone else.

On the Barcelona coaching bench, Enrique looked a little frustrated after seeing the goal lost.

There was a big loophole in the defense this time. Why didn't anyone stop De Bruyne? If someone had stopped De Bruyne a little and prevented him from making such a fatal pass, the ball would not have been lost.

Thinking of this, he called Rakitic over and gave him some serious instructions, asking him to go back and tell the players to cheer up.

From the time Barcelona scored the first goal to now when they fell behind in the score, they have been scored two goals in a row by their opponents.

If their offense doesn't improve, the game will be over.

After Enrique's lecture, the entire Barcelona team looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The quick lead at the start of the game made them underestimate Manchester City in their hearts, thinking that Manchester City was nothing special.

Now they have paid the price for their contempt. Barcelona is now behind in the score. If they don't want to say goodbye to the treble that is so close to them, they will have to fight for their lives in the next game.

Soon, after Manchester City finished celebrating, the game resumed.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Barcelona immediately sounded the clarion call for a counterattack and launched a more fierce attack on Manchester City.

In the 67th minute of the game, Rakitic dribbled the ball across half court but did not pass it directly to Messi.

Instead, he dribbled the ball forward himself, attracted the opposing defensive players to press forward, and then passed the ball to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai broke forward, passed Kroos and forced Kante to return to defense.

Seeing Kante rushing towards him, Iniesta did not dare to be careless. He was not sure he could get past the opponent, so when Kante was about to get close, he quickly passed the ball to Messi.

Although Kante abandoned Xiaobai and rushed towards Messi at the first moment, it was too late.

Messi got the ball and drove straight forward, soon appearing in the middle.

At this time, both Suarez and Neymar were running.

Manchester City's defense was distracted by these two players and could not spare too much manpower to defend Messi.

Van Dijk had to bite the bullet and go forward alone.

Last time, it was he who relied on the method of retreating to oppress Messi's dribbling space, which allowed him to cooperate with Kante to complete the interception.

This time, Van Dijk wanted to repeat the same trick.

But how could Messi give him a chance?

As soon as he saw Van Dijk's plan, Messi immediately accelerated and rushed forward. With two quick changes of direction, he passed Van Dijk, who had not fully grown up and had not accumulated enough experience.

Tall central defenders like Van Dijk have strong defensive capabilities and a large defensive area when defending head-on.

But they generally have one shortcoming, which is that their turning speed is slow.

Neymar has been running and waiting for Messi to pass the ball. Of course, Messi may also shoot himself because his men have lost their defensive position.

Messi broke into the penalty area and had a chance to shoot.

Having a teammate like Messi, Kompany naturally knows how big a threat players like Messi pose.

So, the moment Messi entered the penalty area, he abandoned Suarez and rushed towards Messi.

No matter what, Messi must be stopped from shooting.

As for Suarez, this can only be left to his teammates who fill in the position.

Although he did not have time to communicate with his teammates, the tacit understanding formed by playing together for a long time made Kompany believe that his teammates at the full-back position would definitely help him fill in the position.

Kolarov did come over to fill the position, but he didn't follow up in time.

As a top shooter, how could Suarez miss such an opportunity?

Just as Suarez started, Messi passed the ball.

Suarez aimed at the goal and volleyed the ball without any adjustment.

Navas made a god-level save, blocking Suarez's close shot.

However, before Manchester City fans could breathe a sigh of relief, a short figure rushed over like a gust of wind and completed a follow-up shot before the defensive player cleared the rebounding ball.

The Olympic Stadium fell into silence for a short time, and in less than a second, thunderous applause and cheers rang out.

Countless Barcelona fans were in a frenzy at this moment. Their hero finally stood up and scored this crucial goal for the team.

The score became 2:2, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

This goal showed Messi's superb personal strength and the deterrence created by the collaboration of the three MSN players.

The game time is less than 70 minutes and both sides still have at least 20 minutes to use.

Whoever scores the first goal in the last 20 minutes will have the last laugh.

Of course, if neither side can score again in the next game, the game will go into overtime.

At this point in the game, both teams had nothing left to hold back and both played their final cards and began to go all out.

Guardiola shouted loudly to the players on the sidelines to remind them to pay attention to their positions and maintain formation.

His transformation of the team has not been completed yet, and the players cannot perfectly execute his tactics.

So Guardiola had to remind his players in this way so that they could perform better in defense.

Enrique next door couldn't help but frown. He just felt that Guardiola's shouting frequency was too high.

What on earth is Guardiola doing?

Did they think that changing the players' positions would stop Barcelona's attack? Enrique was quite disdainful. Even the Serie A team known for its catenaccio defense could not withstand Barcelona's powerful attack. Manchester City's defense was far inferior to that of the Serie A strong teams, so how could they possibly stop it? However, as the game progressed to 70 minutes, the physical energy consumption of the players on both sides increased greatly.

Enrique was shocked to find that Barcelona's offensive threat was rapidly declining.

Their players passed the ball back and forth in the opponent's half, but were unable to make any threatening forward passes, and mostly just passed sideways and back.

On the other hand, although Manchester City's ball possession rate was not high, the quality of their counterattacks was very high, and they could threaten Barcelona's goal almost every time.

If it weren't for Ter Stegen's heroic performance in saving shots from Lin Quan and Aguero, Manchester City would have taken the lead again.

What's going on?

Why is this happening?

Enrique is puzzled! (End of this chapter)
