If you want to say that Leiden Oriental has indeed declined a little now, and the changes in tactics also take time to get started. Just take it slowly. It is impossible to reduce the average age of the main lineup and be more energetic without paying a little price.

Next is the time for the national team to play, and those players who are not selected for the national team can also have a good rest.

After two national team games, Leiden Oriental reunited to prepare for the league and the Champions League. On September 11, Leiden Oriental welcomed Blackburn at home.

In this game, with two goals from Ronaldo and Fanny, Leiden East defeated Blackburn 2-0 at home. However, throughout the game, Leiden East was tortured by the opponent's fierce pressing and rough fouls. Jin Clarze played for 60 minutes before he got out, and Ronaldo was also cautious on the court. After all, he did not want his knees to be tortured in such a game.

However, even if it is difficult to play every game, the domineering accumulating by several league champions of Leiden Oriental still keeps winning. In the sixth round, relying on Pirlo's direct free kick, Leiden Oriental took away three-pointers from the City Stadium 1-0 and defeated Manchester City. After returning to home in the seventh round, they relied on Ronaldo's bracelet and Gerrard's goal to defeat Portsmouth. This three-game winning streak proves their strength, and they performed very well in the Champions League. In the first round, they played Bremen 2-0 away, and then beat Udinese 4-1 at home. Xiao Ming's judgment is correct. In such a relatively average group, Leiden Oriental will play very easily with outstanding strength.

Compared with every opponent in the league who will fight to block Leiden Oriental, Leiden Oriental played relatively easily in the Champions League. In the game against Bremen, Marklele firmly stared at the opponent's midfield core Diego, and then defeated Bremen's defense quickly and flexibly attacked the frontcourt. He won easily when he played against Udinese at home. Leiden Oriental, who had an absolute advantage in overall and personal abilities, mastered the advantage on the court from beginning to end. Udinese seemed to have no desire for the Champions League game, and they did not show too much hope of winning when they were behind.

This may be the reason why Serie A slowly degenerates. The unfair broadcast distribution principle makes Serie A teams unable to get more profits in broadcast fees except for the top three in the North, so there are often Serie A teams who work hard in Serie A to squeeze into the European arena. After gaining profits in the European arena, they are unwilling to spend too much energy on the European arena, which has a significant decline in the league performance. Later, only the top three in the North can earn points for Serie A. In the League Cup, a game where they are not very important but can get enough European points, they almost lose their combat effectiveness. The points of the top three in the North in the Champions League alone are of course not as fast as five or six teams in other leagues.

In addition, there was a period of time when the three northern top three were not so strong in the European arena, it became normal for Serie A to fall from the first league to almost fourth place.

In contrast, in the Premier League, although the income of the giants in broadcasting fees is not as good as that of the top three in the North, a large number of mid- and lower-level teams have gained enough profits from fairer share rules, so that in addition to the teams participating in the Champions League, the Premier League also has a large number of backbone forces who can achieve good results in the European arena. Fulham was able to reach the final of the League Cup, and Tottenham was able to make a splash in the first time they participated in the Champions League. It has to be said that the superiority in this area exceeded that of the Serie A team.

In modern football, you play money and profit. The glory of the Serie A small World Cup back then was the investment of various Italian consortiums. The glory of the Premier League after the 21st century lies in the development of commercialization and the entry of a large amount of capital. Without money, no matter how long the history is, no matter how brilliant the giants with the achievements are, they cannot support it. This is why Xiao Ming insisted on spending so much money to build a large enough stadium, which is to increase the income of Leiden Oriental. Otherwise, according to the habits of Premier League teams, a stadium with more than 30,000 people is almost enough. Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa at their peak were at this level at home, and Highbury and Stamford Bridge were not much bigger than New Brisbane Road.

As he won consecutive leagues and Champions League games, Xiao Ming also received good news. Of course, this good news is more for Messi and his father. After living in Spain for five years, Messi finally obtained Spanish nationality. Although he has played for the Argentine youth team, he has to wait until eight years later to play for Spain. However, Messi himself has never thought of playing for countries other than Argentina. However, having dual nationality between Argentina and Spain means that he can not occupy foreign aid places in any club in Europe.

Jorge also got his permanent residence in Spain as he wished. After getting all this and having the flight ticket provided by Leiden Oriental Club, Messi and his family began to settle down in London, a European metropolis.

However, it was a bit nervous to live in a city like London with high prices. After Messi left Barcelona, ​​Jorge's small position in Barcelona could not continue. Although Messi's weekly salary of 15,000 pounds was a lot, he could not find a good place to live.

So Messi and his family moved into Lao Sun's house, which already had a landlord-level apartment. Lao Sun rented the remaining three rooms to Messi's family in one go. Of course, the rent was just a symbolic charge, and the rest were subsidies from Leiden Oriental Club. Originally, Leiden Oriental Club had the obligation to find a house for newly joined players, so in addition to the two neighbors of Ronaldo and Mascherano, Daniel also had an unstunningly handsome man with them.

Of course, Xiao Ming would not let Messi play for Leiden East in such a hurry. Although the players introduced at this time cannot play in the Champions League, they can play in the league, but Xiao Ming did not intend to let Messi play at the beginning - although he is confident in Messi and believes that he can perform as well in the Premier League as in history in La Liga, after all, the styles of the two leagues are hugely different. Even if Messi is talented, it takes time to slowly adapt.

You should know that even in Barcelona, ​​Messi gradually began to play as the main player after the World Cup in 2006. In the past season, he was the substitute for the Frenchman Jiuli.

Xiao Ming has always been very patient with such young talented players. He can invest three years in Pirlo and two years in Ronaldo before they can officially become the main player now. Then he doesn't care about spending another two years on Messi.

What's more, Messi is favorable to both Pirlo and Ronaldo. Pirlo was quite unfamiliar with Leiden Oriental and the Premier League back then, and his position was destined to make other players familiar with his rhythm and the rhythm of other players. In addition, the huge changes in position were actually not young, so he spent a lot of time. As for Ronaldo, it was because he was a superstar like Figo. Messi did not need to change his familiar position now, and there was no superstar like Figo pressing him on his head. What he had to do was simpler than Pirlo and Ronaldo, that was adaptation and familiarity.

Xiao Ming is not worried about whether Messi's body can adapt to the fierce rhythm and high-intensity confrontation of the Premier League. In the era he knew, I don't know how many people think that with Messi's playing style and physical fitness, he will sooner or later be seriously injured like Ronaldo. It's just that he can play so well in a league like La Liga that is beneficial to offensive players. But in fact? Don't think that La Liga's defensive intensity is so rubbish. Although La Liga defenders are generally not as good as Serie A defenders and not as good as Premier League defenders, La Liga has never been bad in terms of fierce pressing and large foul range. If anyone says that La Liga defenders are gentle and elegant like gentlemen, I'm afraid Maradona will have to spit his shit on his face...

And after vomiting, the King of Football would roll up his trouser legs and tell the other party that he had the most unparalleled left foot, so far, there were three steel nails that would never be taken out...

Messi and Ronaldo, in later generations, used the "most likely to be kicked into a fracture" style and became the world footballer. They dribble a lot and made many breakthroughs. However, these two people have never suffered any fatal injuries. Of course, there is a reason. Ronaldo is because of his excellent physical fitness. If Ronaldo's knees are as strong as him, he might not have suffered such serious injuries. Messi is very good at protecting himself. The two people also have one thing in common - sometimes they both like to fake falls - I have to say that this kind of despised practice is a good way to protect himself in many cases.

After arranging the residence of Messi and his family, Leiden Oriental Club also provided Jorge with a job to do odd jobs in the club - Jorge did this when he was in Barcelona. Of course, at most one or two years later, he would not need to do this. Xiao Ming is sure that Messi's income is enough to allow his family to live the best life - and Messi's two younger siblings were also arranged to study in the local school in Leiden. This series of things was helped by Leiden Oriental Club. Now Leiden Oriental Club is an iconic enterprise in the Walthamsto area, and Xiao Ming has always done a good job in keeping the players without worries.

Nowadays, I want someone to work hard for you, but I don’t take out some things.

As for Messi, Xiao Ming has made arrangements long ago.

Messi has to do simple things, that is, adapt and familiarity. There are two types of adaptation: one is to adapt to the Premier League style, and the other is to adapt to life in the UK. Xiao Ming doesn't need to worry too much about life. To a certain extent, Daniel is his best helper. Young players who have just arrived in Leiden East live with him and can also be taken care of in all aspects. Lao Sun's wife is a very kind middle-aged aunt, and is also the English teacher of every young player who has just arrived in Leiden East. Perhaps her English is not particularly standard, but it is the most standard accent near Leiden. At the same time, she has taught so many players, and she also knows that dialogues should be learned quickly and what can be slowed down - as long as there is no problem with language and food, then there is basically no need to worry about life adaptation.

As for whether Messi will feel lonely - Xiao Ming doesn't have to worry about it. If a young man who was struggling for his destiny in a foreign country at the age of thirteen, if he felt lonely so easily, Messi would have collapsed long ago and would not have achieved what he has now. Now that the whole family is around, the situation is much better than when he was in Barcelona, ​​Messi will not feel lonely or something.

As for the adaptation of the league style, Xiao Ming handed over to Pintus.

Before Messi came, Xiao Ming urged Pintus to sort out a training plan and made detailed arrangements for Messi's technical characteristics and physical condition. In addition to this separate training plan, Messi trains with the first team, and he will participate in the reserve team game. Although the Leiden Oriental Reserve is slightly worse than the Premier League in terms of level, his style is in line with the same style. Especially in the area where Leiden Oriental Reserve is located, the opponents include almost all London team reserve teams and several teams near London. His wife Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and other teams also often have first-team players who have just recovered from injury or cannot play in the game, and the overall level will not be much worse.

This kind of approach, and Xiao Ming can also let Messi feel the atmosphere of the Premier League in the League Cup. Xiao Ming believes that it won’t take long to get a chance to play in the first team. Maybe he will shine next season or even next season, but in the second half of this season, maybe he can make his own contribution to Leiden East.

Xiao Ming has only three wingers available now. Although Bent and even Ronaldo can be used as wingers, they still seem a little weak. Xiao Ming did not replenish players in this position, just to prepare Messi for a chance to play.

For a player of Messi's level, he deserves Xiao Ming's painstaking efforts.
