Messi found that after winning the Champions League, the atmosphere in Ganber Sports City has changed a lot.

Last summer, Tencart decided to leave the team and return to the Netherlands to coach alone.

Although most people on the team had a very bad impression of him, many people even applauded his departure, and no one had ever tried to keep him, including Rijkaard, but as the season deepened, many people gradually regretted it.

Sometimes, people do not cherish what they have. Only after they lose it will they realize its preciousness and regret it.

Everyone thinks that Barcelona's past glory is because there is a group of outstanding superstars in the team, because the team's overall strength is outstanding, because Rijkaard can lead the team to play beautiful offensive football...

Tencart is an annoying guy, and he always plays a disgusting role.

For example, he would ask provocatively, “Do you know why we can win the game?”

He would brutally refuse to answer when the player questioned him, "Before asking a question, you'd better go home and watch the video of that game before discussing this with me."

He dared to force Rijcard to leave him out of the roster after Ronaldinho put on a week's main vest on the eve of the game, on the grounds that he was tired.

Oh my God, what a bad reason?

Everyone is not stupid, how can they believe it?

Everyone in the team knew that he didn't like Ronaldinho because the Brazilian did not abide by the rules he set and ran to the party without training. So he got angry. Even though he knew that the Brazilian could score goals and dominate the game, he still had to exclude him from the roster.

Everyone was incredible about this, and everyone on the team didn't like him.

Including Messi.

Because Tencart always forces him to go to the gym for training, that is the training method he hates the most.

This summer, the tyrant who caused complaints from the whole team finally left.

Everyone was excited about this, and everyone felt that without Tencart, Barcelona's peak dynasty of Dream Team II would continue to flourish.

And facts also prove that after halfway through the league, Barcelona still leads the La Liga standings.

However, this Meng Er team, which is known as the peak, has only a pitiful point.

In the past twenty-one rounds, Barcelona only won twelve rounds, tied seven games and lost two games, and they only led Sevilla, who was second.

In the past two seasons, Barcelona's scored 51 points and 52 points in the same period, which is 8 or 9 points higher than now.

But what's even more terrible is that Deco began to miss training frequently, and he was always able to find various reasons to return to Brazil. Sometimes he even took action without the consent of the coaching staff, and then called after returning to Brazil.

Ronaldinho has also begun to frequently make gossip news, such as meeting a young girl in a nightclub, or he is hanging out with a famous Catalonian female star...

Gradually, from when, factions began to appear in the locker room in Barcelona.

Many people are dissatisfied with Ronaldinho and Deco's approach, and they believe that several Brazilians on the team lack professional ethics and self-discipline, which is something that Barcelona does not allow.

Some people dared to make accusations in person, such as Etoo, such as Puyol.

I don’t know when Etoo and the players in the Catalonian region began to tie up into an anti-Brazil player faction, and then several Dutch players in the team also joined the league, and they began to form an opposition and the contradictions became increasingly sharp.

During the winter break, several players, including Larson, chose to leave.

It was also at this moment that everyone suddenly realized that Tengkat was really important.

Relying on Rijkald's policy of carefreeness alone, he could not control the locker room at all.

...

In Gambo Sports City, Messi walked to the net-style football field in the players' rest area.

This was once the favorite place for Barcelona players. After every training session, Barcelona players always gather here, and they will happily play net-style football on this stadium.

At that time, Ronaldinho was still protecting him like a big brother.

The Brazilian would pat his shoulder and tell him, "Don't worry, I will pass the ball to you, help you assist, let you make the front page of tomorrow, and compete with Yang Yang."

He would also comfort Messi when he was down, "Believe me, you will be the number one player in the world in the future."

These words are still heard, but time has passed.

The net-style football field has been unattended for a long time, and the ground is covered with dust, and the ball nets are also sagging loosely to the ground.

This place has become the place where no one wants to come to Ganbo Sports City, and the corners are even full of miscellaneous items.

Messi stood outside the court with sadness in his eyes.

He missed the joy of the past, he missed the laughter and joy of that time, but it seemed that all this would never come back.

...

On November 12, in the tenth round of La Liga, Barcelona played against Zaragoza at home. Messi was injured after only 22 minutes. He had an accident and broke the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot, which caused him to retire for two and a half months.

It was not until recently that he re-entered the team's training.

In the past two and a half months, Barcelona has played eleven league games, lost one game, draw five games, and achieved a terrible result.

In the Champions League, he even won second place in the group and lost to Chelsea, which led to Barcelona's unlucky draw in Liverpool in the subsequent quarterfinals draw.

Everyone knows that Benitez's team is a cup-type team, very good at playing cup games, and targeted tactics are awesome.

What's even more terrible is that before playing against Liverpool, Barcelona will have to play against Valencia again, which is another hard battle.

Messi looked at the net-style football field in a daze.

At some point, Rijkaard came to him. Compared with before, the Dutch seemed to be much older.

After Tencart left, he seemed to be no longer gentlemanly.

"Something has passed, and I will never come back." Rijkald said with sighs.

Messi guessed that he should regret it now that he shouldn't let Tencart go, and shouldn't indulge players such as Ronaldinho and Deco, which led to the collapse of the locker room.

"Leo, the future of this team belongs to you. Next, you should make yourself stronger and braver, because from now on, no one will be able to protect you."

Messi felt a stress.

"Yang Yang has successively shouldered the burden of Ajax and Liverpool. Cristiano Ronaldo has also shouldered the burden of Manchester United this season, and Kaka has also shouldered the burden of AC Milan. You are the only one who can shoulder the burden of Barcelona!"

Rijcard's words were very light and heavy, which made Messi not know how to answer.

"We are all waiting for you to come back!"

After saying that, Rijcard patted Messi on the shoulder and turned around and left.

He never asked Messi from beginning to end, are you ready?

Because sometimes, some things will not give you any time to prepare.

…………

…………

Since it was a hasty decision to go south, Liverpool's preparations were not ideal.

The hotel is booked online by the club and is located in the southernmost part of Portugal, a famous resort in the Algarve region.

Along the way, the club staff told the players that this is the best resort in Portugal, with a unique courtyard, each household has its own swimming pool, and there are very complete training facilities, the best courts and the best living environment around.

Of course, the price is also relatively expensive.

But when the team arrived at the resort for a long distance, they found that the situation was completely different.

The hotel rooms are relatively humid, and the training turf is not good. There is a unique courtyard with a supporting pool, but it is not very clean.

Also, the network signal here is not good, which makes Yang Yang feel a headache because he must keep in touch with Su Ye every day. She recently went to Chen Kexin's stinger crew. Yang Yang is very concerned about whether her village girl looks good.

The only satisfying thing is that the climate is really great and the air is good.

Compared with the rainy Liverpool, this advantage can offset all the shortcomings.

The club staff immediately communicated with the hotel, hoping that they could make some changes as soon as possible, but it was obvious that Liverpool was nothing in front of this hotel. They didn't care, they just made a symbolic perfunctory look.

However, Liverpool does not attach great importance to this.

Because the most important thing for the team is to train and prepare for the battle.

The outside world is quite worried about Liverpool for the game of Camp Nou, because Barcelona is indeed full of stars and they are playing at Camp Nou at home, which is a huge challenge for Liverpool.

Benitez also did not hide his intentions in this game, hoping to bring a draw back to the UK.

"Of course, I hope it's a draw, but it's acceptable if it's a small defeat. As long as we can return to Anfield with hope, we still have a chance of winning, because at Anfield, it's not easy for any team to win us!"

Benitez's words showed his strong self-confidence and deeply infected all the players.

Even new players like Yang Yang who have just joined the team for one season are deeply impressed by Benitez's tactical attainments.

Because he can always surprise everyone on a tactical level.

More importantly, Mohamed Sissoko finally returned from injury.

Judging from his performance in training, Mali's midfield is in good shape, but he has been missing for a long time.

Mascherano and Aveloa are two players who joined during the winter break and have not played for Liverpool yet. No one knows how Benitez will arrange it.

Although Yang Yang likes to think, he is completely unable to guess Benitez's thoughts.

He felt that if he could guess thoroughly, he would consider transforming into a head coach after retirement.
