Chapter 304 Messi is going crazy
In an apartment on Carlos III Avenue, three blocks away from the Camp Nou Stadium, Messi was lying in the room, staring blankly at the ceiling, his eyes dull and lifeless, just like his mood at the moment.
He was very confused and at a loss! In recent days, the team has sent away several players including Cocu, Davis and Kluivert, and the famous players Luis Enrique and Overmars chose to retire, which suddenly left a lot of positions in the first team, and also made the young players of the youth team eager to try.
But Messi lacks interest in this regard.
Because he knew that all this had little to do with him.
He has no future in this team! Just a few days ago, another good friend of his also left.
The central defender, Gerard Pique, whom he told Su Dong and hoped Su Dong would give him a good beating, went to Manchester United.
Both of his best friends chose to leave the team, which made Messi very confused.
He originally wanted to be loaned to other teams, such as Valencia, but it is said that the team is also experiencing some problems now.
Head coach Benítez's move to Liverpool has caused many problems within Valencia. It is said that the new head coach is likely to be Ranieri, who was sacked from Chelsea.
Aimar had also told him before that it would be difficult for Valencia to be distracted by a young player like him at this moment, and hoped that he would wait a little longer. When the time is right, Aimar would definitely help him contact the team.
But Messi can't wait any longer!
He was almost driven crazy by this miserable life! Even Josep Colomer, the director of Barcelona's youth training program, found a psychologist for him and asked him to receive regular psychiatric examinations. Messi accepted it, but soon, he messed up again.
So much so that, at this moment, he was lying on the bed in the room, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He couldn't figure it out! Since playing for Barcelona's first team against Porto last season, he has never played for the first team again. Even his daily training was with the second team. The youth team and the first team were only separated by a wall, but it seemed as if they were worlds apart.
Is it because my performance is not good enough?
No! Throughout the 2003-2004 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 scored in the games of the other four age groups and the second team.
A total of thirty-five goals were scored in official matches, and if informal matches are included, the total number of goals exceeded 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 Colomer admitted that Messi is fully capable of playing for the first team.
The second team could no longer satisfy Messi! At first, they thought Messi was too thin.
Well, Messi trained hard, and even contacted Nuno Cruz through Su Dong, who tailored some training for him to strengthen his body and muscles. So from August 2003 to April 2004, he gained a full four kilograms in weight, all of which came from muscles.
You have to know that due to his illness and hormones since childhood, Messi's achievements did not come from the gym, but were achieved through daily training, which was not easy.
Four kilograms of muscle have made Messi a lot stronger and he no longer looks like the tiny kid he used to be.
But the first team is still a long way off.
B team coach Gratacos told Messi that he hoped he would be more patient.
"Barcelona is a giant club. The first team of a giant club is completely different from other teams. It is a place to achieve results, not a place to train young players. So what you need to do is to continue to improve yourself in the second team, perform better, and convince the head coach of the first team that you can be competent for the first team."
"You know, the players Rijkaard relies on have all been through big tournaments. Even a genius like Quaresma or a strong player like Kluivert still finds it difficult to get a starting position. Don't think too much about it now!"
But can Messi not think about it? They say that any teenager at his age would feel confused and lost, especially those who are struggling on the edge of the top giants.
Fabregas left, Pique left, and Messi kept asking himself, should he leave too?
Let’s go, where are we going?
Messi confided all his distress to a psychologist, hoping that the psychologist could understand him and help him clear up the confusion.
But what he didn't expect was that when he came to the psychologist's office again one day, he saw a group of psychology students who were observing Messi and treating him as a subject to study and discuss.
At that moment, Messi felt like a white mouse lying on the experimental table, allowing them to point fingers at him. They tried to use all kinds of theories and explanations to study his deepest privacy.
This annoyed him, so he flew into a rage and left angrily on the spot.
Needless to say, the result was that the psychological assessment failed. The psychologist called Colomer's office directly. Messi was scolded and everyone thought he was making a big deal out of nothing.
Even when he returned home, even his parents thought that he should be patient.
"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 what his father said might be right, but he was not convinced.
Why? It was clearly someone else's problem, and it was clearly the psychiatrist who didn't take his privacy seriously, but why did everyone think it was his fault? Messi couldn't figure it out!
…
The phone rang in the corridor outside.
Messi ignored it.
When the mother ran over to answer the phone, she muttered a complaint, meaning why didn't Messi take the initiative to answer the phone?
"Leo, your phone." Mother shouted from outside.
Messi was a little crazy. He reached out and grabbed the quilt to cover himself completely. 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, excuse me, Leo is out. Do you want to talk to him?"
My mother's voice on the phone came into the room.
"Oh, okay, Mr. Su?"
In bed, Messi jumped up as soon as he heard this. He didn't even pick up the sheets and pillows, and rushed out of the door, shouting, "I'm here, I'm here."
Under his mother's suspicious look, Messi snatched the phone and answered "Hello".
"Su, is that you?" Messi said in a happy tone.
At this time, he would call him, and the name was Su, so 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 to listen to him, understand him and give him some advice.
Aimar is not good, what about Su Dong? "Su, I miss you so much!" Messi couldn't help but shed tears while speaking.
At this moment, there are very few people he can trust and confide in, and perhaps only Su Dong.
"Do you miss the feeling of me patting your head?" Su Dong asked jokingly on the phone.
Macy didn't resist like usual, but instead hummed and asked, "Where are you?"
“Still in China.”
"Oh." Messi felt disappointed. He thought Su Dong had returned to Spain.
As long as Su Dong comes back, whether in Valencia or somewhere else, Messi will run to find him first.
But China is too far away.
"Man, I heard some things about what happened to you recently. I'm really sorry. I've been busy with competitions and dealing with things recently and have neglected you a little." Su Dong said apologetically.
"It's okay, I'm... fine." Messi forced a smile.
"I will arrive in Barcelona tomorrow. Will you pick me up at the airport?" Su Dong suddenly asked.
"tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow."
Messi's heart, which had sunk to the bottom, suddenly emerged again and he became overjoyed.
“Are you coming to Barcelona tomorrow?”
"Yes."
"So, what the media said is true. Are you really planning to transfer to our team?"
This has been the news reported by the Catalan media for several consecutive days, and it is obvious that they have all received the news.
It is said that Laporta went to Brazil first, renewed his contract with Ronaldinho, and had an in-depth conversation. Ronaldinho then called Su Dong and persuaded him to join Barcelona. At the same time, Barcelona head coach Rijkaard also called Su Dong and promised to give him the position of main center forward.
After dealing with the Brazilian affairs, Laporta and Rosell parted ways. The Barcelona president flew directly from Brazil to Shanghai, China on the pretext of preparing for the Asian tour, where he secretly met with Su Dong and Su Dong's agent.
The Catalan media started hyping up Sudong as if it were a holiday, believing that Sudong would soon join Barcelona.
Barcelona godfather Cruyff personally commented on the significance of Su Dong's joining in his column, saying that Barcelona had signed the strongest superstar in European football for the next ten years, and that this would become the most valuable asset in Barcelona's history! Messi was a little skeptical at first, but now after receiving Su Dong's call, he believed it!
"That's great, Su!" Messi was very happy for Su Dong.
Given Su Dong's situation, he will definitely be valued after joining Barcelona. It is said that the transfer fee will be very high, and his annual salary will be the highest in the team, which is the same as Ronaldinho after his contract renewal, which shows how much the club values him.
But soon, Messi became a little depressed.
This is a good thing for Su Dong, but what does it have to do with him?
Isn't he still the young guy who is waiting for a chance in the second team?
"Leo, I'll be alone tomorrow. Please come and pick me up at the airport 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 wicked laughter was heard over the phone.
This guy is just as unscrupulous as the author named Chen Aiting!
