Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 411 If I go all out, can Barcelona withstand it? !
"Welcome to Sky Sports to watch the focus battle of the third round of the Champions League group stage."

"Barcelona face Premier League leader Manchester United at home at Camp Nou"

"From the perspective of the starting lineups, both sides have sent out their main players."

While tens of thousands of spectators in the Camp Nou were singing, players from both teams were in their respective locker rooms, listening to the head coach's final pre-match mobilization.

The atmosphere in the home team's locker room was very relaxed.

Even though Manchester United is in explosive form in the Premier League this season and has just won eight consecutive games;
Even though Manchester United has world-class stars such as Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Lingard, Kante, De Gea, etc.

However, this game was not challenging for Barcelona players.

This Manchester United is completely different from the Manchester United that met them in the Champions League final for two consecutive years.

Besides, they are Barcelona!

This is Camp Nou!
Therefore, the Barcelona players did not feel any pressure before the game.

Some were chatting and laughing, while others were making their own preparations for the game.

Messi, the core of Barcelona, ​​just sat quietly in front of his locker in the locker room, took out his shin guards from his bag, and then held them in front of him to examine them carefully.

The shin guards specially customized for him by Adidas have photos of his family and his girlfriend's children.

After a gentle caress, he gave it a deep kiss before tucking it back into the sock.

It is worth mentioning that not far away, Neymar, Suarez, Rafinha and several other South American players were doing pre-match "warm-up" activities to the music.

In other words, it's like twisting your body and dancing a passionate samba.

Listening to music and dancing before the game is also part of the locker room culture of the South American gang.

Barcelona coach Enrique then walked into the locker room without saying anything special, nor did he need to encourage his players. He just said in a deep voice:

"Let's win this game at home!"

Coaching a giant club like Barcelona, ​​coaching superstars like Messi, Suarez, Neymar and Iniesta, the key to tactical play is to make them feel comfortable on the field!
As long as they play comfortably, everything will be solved!

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was rather solemn.

Barcelona may be the strongest team they have faced in recent years!

Coupled with the overwhelming questioning from the media, they doubted whether they could escape unscathed from the famous Camp Nou.

Mourinho felt the emotions of his disciples, raised his eyebrows, and directly used his innate skill [Chicken Blood Method]:
"Guys, keep your heads up!"

"We came here from afar, not to give away three points, but to win the game!"

“Just like every game we play!”

"What about Barcelona? Won't they lose?"

"Even a team like Alaves can beat Barcelona at home, why can't we?!"

"In my eyes, you are the better team! Because you are the team I coach!"

"So, go out there and prove that I'm right! Everyone else is wrong!"

These remarks made the expressions and eyes of some players who did not have much confidence in this game suddenly become resolute.

Yes!

Their head coach is the man who once defeated the legendary Barcelona and ran wildly in the Nou Camp to celebrate!

Moreover, they have world-class stars such as Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic, Rooney and Kante in their team, and they have the strength to compete with Barcelona!
As for Ibrahimovic, Ling Feng, Rooney, Kante and other top players who have seen big scenes, they were not excited by Mourinho's wave of chicken blood.
Because their spiritual attributes are already excellent.

Even when facing a strong opponent, he will not be timid or retreat, but will feel excited instead.

In Ibrahimovic's opinion, although this Manchester United lineup cannot be described as too luxurious.

But it’s definitely not bad!

Even better than when he was in Paris Saint-Germain.

At least in Paris, among his teammates, there is no super midfielder like Ling Feng;

Ling Feng had already made up his mind to use Barcelona as his touchstone.

He also wanted to know, if he gave it his all, could a super club like Barcelona stop him? !
As the opening bell rang, Manchester United players formed a circle as usual.

Then, Rooney, the team captain and locker room leader, began the pre-match mobilization:

"Guys, almost everyone outside thinks we will lose, but I think we are definitely capable of causing trouble for Barcelona at the Nou Camp!"

"As long as we unite as one, we can defeat our opponents!"

Following Rooney's lead, everyone roared in unison.
"123 Manchester United!"

Afterwards, players from both sides left the locker room and lined up in the player tunnel.

"Leo!"

In the player tunnel, Ibrahimovic took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Messi, his former teammate.

Although after leaving Barcelona, ​​Ibrahimovic has often fired shots in front of the media.

But he was pointing his gun at Guardiola, not Barcelona.

He believed that Guagua was unfair in treating him and lacked the courage to communicate with him directly, and was a coward.

Ibrahimovic has no complaints about Barcelona and Messi.

In fact, Ibrahimovic once publicly declared that Dream III Barcelona is the best team in history, and the Ballon d'Or should be renamed the "Messi Award".

Although he lost his center forward position to Messi and eventually left Barcelona, ​​the true Ibrahimovic did not hate Messi. Instead, he admired Messi's achievements and talent in football.

When Ling Feng saw this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

However, he was not moved by the mutual admiration between the two football stars with the cutest height difference, but was amused by Messi's new image.

"Boss Mei is cosplaying as a gold miner?!"

Messi unexpectedly dyed his hair silver-grey after losing the Copa America final.

Coupled with the big beard, he looks completely different from his previous clean-cut image.

The funniest thing is that the whole image looks like the gold miner in the famous casual game!
As early as July, the media reported extensively on Messi's new look.

In the superstitious world of football, a player's sudden change of appearance, especially hairstyle, usually has a special meaning.

Some people shave their heads to show their determination, some pray for good luck, and some celebrate winning a championship.

Messi's drastic change from his previous "good boy" image can't help but make people wonder whether the frustration of failing to reach the finals of the national team competition for three consecutive years has stimulated the Argentine number one who announced his retirement from the national team in the America's Cup final.

Perhaps this change of image, like his return to the national team in August, is a message Messi wants to convey to the outside world:
Who said I accepted my fate? I want to start all over again!
And in this Barcelona lineup, there are many stars that Ling Feng is familiar with.

However, due to the war of words with Pique before the game, Ling Feng wanted to take the initiative to say hello to Messi and Suarez to complete his star stamp collecting task.

But after careful consideration, I decided not to do so.

Moreover, Rooney had already told him about this problem privately before: "It is best not to greet opponents in the player tunnel before the game!"

Many old-school English players do not like to greet or chat with their opponents in the player tunnel.

Even if there are former teammates or good friends in the opponent team!

As for why we do this, the reason is simple:
To them, a football game is a war.

The court is the battlefield, and the players on both sides are the soldiers who are about to step onto the battlefield and fight each other.

Who would shake hands and greet the enemy before heading into battle? !

Under the guidance of Red Devils captains such as Roy Keane and Neville, Rooney also formed this habit.

Therefore, he plans to wait until he defeats the opponent in this game before looking for Messi, Suarez and others, which would be better.

Ling Feng knew very well how hard it was to get Messi's jersey.

So he planned to exchange jerseys with Suarez in this game.

Then, after the second round of the group stage, when they return to Old Trafford, he will exchange jerseys with Messi!
In this way, plus he has already exchanged jerseys with Neymar at the Brazil World Cup, he has collected all three jerseys of the MSN combination!
However, he did not take the initiative, but it was the "social expert" Neymar who took the initiative to come over and say hello:

"Hey! Ling, long time no see!"

Seeing Neymar extending his hand with a smile on his face, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile in his heart:
He is worthy of being the most affectionate person in Brazil who is always partying and socializing and has connections in all circles!

"How are you, Neymar?"

After the two shook hands, they exchanged brief greetings.

For Neymar, the first match at the World Cup in Brazil two years ago left a deep impression on him.

At that time, among the unremarkable Three Lions team, the only one who could pose a threat to Brazil was the then fledgling Ling Feng!

In the past two years, although the two sides have not had direct confrontation.

However, the level of hype and promotion by the British media is recognized to be amazing.

Even in Spain or Brazil, he frequently watched videos related to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's strength and achievements have been recognized by Neymar.

Moreover, he felt an unprecedented strong sense of crisis from this peer who was three years younger than him.

With the public relations promotion of Mendes and Nike, there is a very strong chance that Ling Feng will make it into the top five of the Ballon d'Or.

The top five winners of last year's Ballon d'Or were Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Lewandowski and Suarez.

If Ling Feng makes it into the top five for the Ballon d'Or, and Messi and Ronaldo will definitely not be squeezed out of the top three, it means that one of Neymar, Suarez and Lewandowski will definitely be squeezed out of the top five!

It is worth mentioning that in addition to Ling Feng, who is highly favored, Griezmann, the core of Atletico Madrid and France this season, is also a strong candidate for this year's Golden Globe Award.

In this way, I, who am slightly inferior in terms of data this year, might become the unlucky one who is squeezed out of the top five!
Who made him the supporting role in the MSN group, the little brother standing behind Messi?
Thinking of this, Neymar felt a little helpless.

Even though he has performed phenomenally at Barcelona in the past two seasons and delivered an explosive report card.

However, whether it is the front page cover or the Golden Ball Award, all the praise is for Messi.

Then it was Suarez's turn, and finally myself.

He once asked himself whether he was willing to be the third in command of Barcelona and whether he was satisfied with the third place in the Ballon d'Or?
His inner answer was:

Do not!
He wants to be the best in the world!
He's going to win the Ballon d'Or!
However, before Messi gets old, the 24-year-old still has to wait.

Until Messi gives him the throne
However, despite feeling depressed, he actually enjoyed the feeling of competing with the world's top stars.

Neymar has a good habit, that is, the competitive relationship on the field does not extend to off the field.

As contracted players of Nike, Neymar and Ling Feng have also starred in commercials together.

Ling Feng also attended Neymar's sister's birthday party with his girlfriend.

Therefore, the two can definitely be called friends.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, this game can be regarded as a head-on confrontation between Ling Feng, Ibrahimovic and Messi, Suarez and Neymar for the Golden Ball Award!
If Ling Feng and Ibrahimovic lead Manchester United to beat Barcelona, ​​which has the MSN combination, at Camp Nou, it will definitely be a big plus!
So the two of them are in an advantageous position in this year's Golden Globe ranking competition.

After all, the win-loss relationship between Golden Globe competitors is also one of the factors in the selection.
. . .

"Let's welcome players from both sides!"

"Where's the cheering?!"

Soon, with the stadium DJ's introduction, players from both teams lined up and walked onto the court.

Compared to the empty stadium yesterday, the Camp Nou is already packed today!
As the home team players were introduced on the big screen, cheers rang out at Camp Nou.

Especially when Messi was introduced, cheers instantly resounded through the sky!

Looking around, the stands were a sea of ​​red and blue. Ling Feng's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's, and his heart was surging.

He was not intimidated by the large number of his opponent's supporters, nor was he intimidated by the luxurious lineup of his opponent. Instead, he was excited and thrilled.

In his opinion, defeating the La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​defeating the best player in the world Messi, and defeating MSN, the strongest trident in history, on the great stage in front of so many spectators, are the big things he should do as a hacker!

Such a stage and such an opponent are worthy of him giving his all!
Compared with the starting lineup against Liverpool in the last round, Manchester United only made one position adjustment.

That is Rashford replacing Martial and becoming the starting left winger!
Obviously, Mourinho wanted to use Rashford's speed to attack Mascherano, who was playing as Barcelona's right back in this game.

Xiao Ma Ge was born in 84 and is already 32 years old. It is inevitable that his physical fitness has declined significantly.

However, his rich defensive experience and awareness make up for his physical disadvantages to a certain extent.

However, facing the impact of a young man like Rashford, no matter how experienced he is, he will still suffer some hardships.

This is what Mourinho hopes Rashford can do.
Beep~~~
With the referee's whistle, Manchester United kicked off first.

The next second after Ibrahimovic passed the ball back to Ling Feng, Barcelona players rushed forward immediately.

Obviously, Barcelona, ​​playing at home, adopted a tactic of pressing forward, trying to force Manchester United into making mistakes in the backcourt by pressing in the frontcourt.

The ball was forced all the way by Barcelona players to the backcourt.

Central defender Smalling passed the ball to Luke Shaw on the left. The latter took a look at Messi who did not put too much pressure on him, and then made a long pass directly from the backcourt!

This well-timed long pass accurately found Ibrahimovic who was in front of Umtiti. Despite the interference from behind, Da Fengxian still jumped up and grabbed the first point.

He headed the ball to the left and passed it to the empty space behind Barcelona's entire formation!
At the beginning, Barcelona players felt that the ball was not threatening at all.

Because Ibrahimovic is Manchester United's top player.

He heads the ball forward, who can he head to?
However, at this moment, Ling Feng, who was still beside Professor Hou Yaobu, seized the opportunity and started suddenly!

The next second, he got rid of Busquets like a flash of white lightning, and then flew past Pique.

Pique, who had just turned around, saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him.

Behind that figure, there was a number "7" printed!

Ling Feng: Yes, it’s me!
