Barcelona was hit hard by the experience at the airport.

Many players didn't want to say a word after getting on the bus.

They feel very depressed.

In the past, Barcelona is the most popular wherever they go. Getting off the plane with Newcastle United should be said, getting off the plane with Zhen Shaolong has allowed them to experience the gap between the two sides.

really.

There are more fans coming to welcome Barcelona, ​​but... there are so many female fans who can't stand the welcome of Zhen Shaolong!

If they could make a choice, they would rather use a thousand male fans to exchange for a hundred female fans, because only female fans can lead the trend. Didn’t they see many male fans betrayal and instead support Zhen Shaolong?

This is so shocking!

Among Barcelona players, Messi's face was the most serious and heavy, and he didn't say a word along the way.

He felt pressure.

The experience at the airport has little impact on Messi. He doesn't care how many female fans support him. After flying to Rome, the game is approaching, and he also feels huge pressure.

It was a suffocating feeling.

When he was sitting on the bus, Messi couldn't help but recall the past. When he came to Barcelona in Argentina, everyone thought he was a genius, but few people knew how difficult his journey was.

Behind him, Messi was a recognized football genius around him, but he was detected to suffer from hormone deficiency, commonly known as dwarfism. At that time, it could be said that it was a bolt from the blue. He quickly fell from a genius to no one's attention. Fortunately, he survived with his excellent performance, but his height was still a huge problem.

Until joining Barcelona.

Messi is very grateful to Barcelona because Barcelona gives him trust and gives him the best training environment. In addition, Barcelona has made great efforts to help Messi grow. Club experts have specially formulated a series of legs exercises for him and a complete set of the most scientific nutritional supplements to help him continue to grow taller.

Until now...

Messi has now become a recognized top star. He is Ronaldinho's best successor. Some people even say that he will soon surpass Ronaldinho, and he has been growing and constantly working hard to improve.

Before, he was sure that he was no worse than anyone, until he met Zhen Shaolong.

Last year's Capital Olympics was a huge blow to Messi. Argentina's very strong lineup ended up falling at the feet of the host Chinese team. Zhen Shaolong, who represented the Chinese team, performed so well that he defeated the Argentina team alone.

Next are two group matches this season.

Zhen Shaolong also helped Newcastle United defeat Barcelona with his extremely excellent performance.

When Barcelona met Newcastle United before, many Spanish media called the game "a showdown between Messi and Zhen Shaolong". Now few Spanish media would say that, because Zhen Shaolong's performance is much better every time.

Messi had doubts about himself, "Can I really compare with Zhen Shaolong?"

"Can we win this game?"

"Barcelona needs me, but I really can't compare to the opponent...Mr. Laporta also said that we have to rely on the strength of the whole team, but I still hope to perform better than him... Can I do it?"

Messi thought about it and walked into the aisle, then turned around and went to the hall. He stood in front of the window and looked at the brightly lit city of Rome, looking at the Rome Olympic Stadium from afar, where they will compete for the European championship with Newcastle United.

"Leo."

Barcelona coach Guardiola came over, patted Messi on the shoulder and said, "You are thinking about the game, right?"

"Um."

Messi looked at Guardiola, nodded with his lips.

"Don't be stressed, we are a whole," Guardiola said. "Of course, I used to be a professional player, and... it's not worse than you!" He laughed as he said, but it's not a boast that he is not worse than Messi.

Messi's achievements are still incomparable to Guardiola.

Guardiola continued, "As a professional player, you can always meet very powerful opponents. Their performance will be amazing, but everyone has their own characteristics. Indeed, his shooting is very powerful and he scores a lot of goals. If I compete with a top forward, I can only surrender..." He is a midfielder and the core of the offensive organization of the entire team. Similar to the role of Xavi in ​​the team, he will naturally score much less goals with a lower position.

"No one is absolutely strong."

Guardiola continued, "You have your characteristics, too. Your skills are incomparable to him."

Messi nodded.

Although I know Guardiola is comforting himself, Guardiola's words do make sense.

Everyone has something they are good at.

"The opponent is good at scoring goals..." Messi was depressed when he thought about it carefully and said something that made Guardiola stunned, "Why does a football game depend on scoring goals to determine the outcome? He happened to be good at shooting and scoring goals..."

“This is too unfair.”

On the other side.

The hotels in Newcastle United are not quiet at all.

Zhen Shaolong also wanted to think about life like Messi, but there were fans everywhere outside the hotel. The key was that many of them were female fans. The female fans kept calling his name, and it was difficult for him to pretend that he couldn't hear it.

This is a very welcome worry.

If it is just a normal fan support, it is actually no big deal. The key is that a large group of female fans are indeed very attractive, resulting in most Newcastle United players looking out the window continuously.

"Zhen! I think you need to come forward and calm them down..."

Kevin Keegan did some work and reminded everyone to have a good rest, but after the work was basically ineffective, he still found the source of the matter. Fans were not satisfied with Zhen Shaolong when they could not see Zhen Shaolong, and it would be better if Zhen Shaolong came forward.

Zhen Shaolong had no choice but to stand up helplessly. He walked to the hotel door under various protections. The fans cheered enthusiastically. He picked up the microphone and said, "I like Italy very much, I like Rome! I like you who support me even more..."

"Thank you everyone!"

"But please understand, we have just arrived here, and everyone needs rest..."

Zhen Shaolong made a lot of comments in a row, expressing his feelings sincerely, but the effect was not very good. He simply satisfied some of the fans' small wishes and took photos with ten fans at the scene. Two lip glosses appeared on his face, and finally had some effect.

"well……"

"It's not easy! For everyone, I have to sacrifice myself..." Zhen Shaolong returned to the room and complained to Milner, "This is because of being too popular, so, James, it's a good thing that you look ugly and can reduce a lot of trouble!"

Milner opened his mouth and widened his eyes, feeling an inexplicable huge suction force suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand and Zhen Shaolong's cheek.

He held his hand tightly before he could control it.

Zhen Shaolong halfway down on the bed, he began to close his eyes and rest. During the rest, he also checked the system. The skills introduction of "Skills" still did not change.

"If the temporary task effect can be triggered immediately..." Most of the tasks performed in this kind of game will be triggered only during the game. I could only guess based on the task acceptance before, so I had no experience in using it directly.

This is a bit regrettable.

Zhen Shaolong also took the time to check the "Skill Acquisition Task". The new skill acquisition task was triggered after the 15th round of the league, which was triggered in early December last year. It has been more than half a year since then.

"The "Shenhu" skill acquisition mission--

In order to obtain the powerful "God Comes" skill, the host needs to continue working hard in the official competition.

Mission goal: Accumulate a running distance of 300 kilometers in the formal competition.

Task progress:.”

Zhen Shaolong was a little disappointed when he saw the progress of the mission.

Although he would occasionally look at it and know the specific numbers, it would take about thirty games in more than half a year, right?

145 kilometers?

"Twenty rounds of the league, six, seven games in the Champions League, and the League Cup...even if it is thirty games, the average game is... 4,800 meters? Rounding is 5,000 meters... Yes, rounding it again, ten thousand meters!"

"It seems that I have run a lot!"

"Very hardworking!"

Zhen Shaolong immediately received a little comfort, but the overall number was there, and no matter how much comfort was, it felt meaningless.

———

The next day is training day.

Newcastle United and Barcelona both come two days in advance, and they will have a normal training time one day.

Newcastle United is arranged to train at the Rome Club.

Barcelona is Lazio.

The arrangements of the Rome municipal government also make sense, because in the process of Barcelona's promotion, Rome, who participated in Italian football and participated in the Champions League, broke Rome's dream of winning the Champions League on its own stadium, and they will naturally be included in the unpopular ranks by Rome fans.

So Newcastle United received enthusiastic support from Rome fans.

Because we want to promote the Champions League final, training will be open to the public for half a day. Many fans flock to the training ground, many of them are local Roman fans. Their support for Newcastle United is reflected on the surface.

"Kill Barcelona!"

"Zhen Shaolong, score a few more goals!"

"Come on Newcastle! Let the Barcelona people leave with tears in their noses!"

These support sounds very good, but it has a certain impact on normal training. Keegan simply lets the team conduct warm-up training and adds some well-developed tactical training in the afternoon.

Training is not the main thing the day before the game, and interviews for the competition are also very important, and it is an important time for the club to promote external publicity.

Barcelona did a good job in this regard. Guardiola was interviewed by a reporter and answered fifty questions in one go, fully demonstrating the media's talent for language; Keegan also accepted the interview, but it was somewhat embarrassing that most of the reporter's questions were related to Zhen Shaolong. Because Zhen Shaolong did not attend the press conference, Keegan was repeatedly embarrassed and had to escape.

The most important news the day before the game was the fight between fans.

This happens every competition.

An English fan was stabbed by a dagger and was admitted to the hospital. Two English fans were invited to the police station when they were having a meal. In addition, two Spanish fans were beaten by local Roman fans and were also admitted to the hospital.
