It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 14 14 "Old Flea" Experience Card
Time flies, and soon it is January 2009, 1.

In the 18th round of La Liga, Barcelona’s away challenge to Osasuna is about to begin.

When Charles saw the water dispenser, he didn't want to leave.

That's where he should be.

Guardiola sat very considerately between Charles and the water dispenser and began to give Charles psychological counseling.

He always felt that Charles was too nervous and couldn't let go.

"... Just relax like in the King's Cup, and Osasuna is now ranked last in the league, so you don't have to be too nervous."

Charles nodded guiltily, always feeling very sorry for him.

Guardiola is still too young and doesn't know that the me in the King's Cup and the me who joined Barcelona are not the same me.

Now he is a water dispenser-type forward/midfielder. If you ask him to watch the water dispenser and wave the towel on the bench, Charles will still work hard.

If you let him play, you might as well expect Xavi to explode with almost one less person on the court.

"Station, stage, you are watching the 0809th round of the 18- La Liga season, Osasuna vs. Barcelona."

“双方联赛历史上共有60次交锋，巴萨33胜14平13负，但在奥萨苏纳的主场，双方10胜10平10负战成平手。

"In the previous three seasons, Osasuna had 1 win and 2 draws at home and remained unbeaten against Barcelona."

"This match is also Xavi's 300th La Liga appearance."

"After the game, Xavi, Messi and others will take a private jet directly to Zurich to attend the FIFA World Player of the Year award ceremony."

"Guardiola made a major change in the starting line-up, with Charles, Valdes, Puyol, Xavi, Eto'o and Henrique starting."

"Today is also the first game for Barcelona's new signing Charles in the winter transfer window."

"Barcelona coach Guardiola admires Charles very much and has praised him in front of the media many times."

"It has been snowing in Spain these days. The heavy snow in Pamplona (where Osasuna is located) did not have much impact on the field, but the unexpected fog suddenly fell on the Navarra Kingdom Stadium before the game."

"Here are the lineups for both teams:"

“奥萨苏纳（4-4-1-1）：13-罗伯特/2-阿兹皮利奎塔、16-塞尔吉奥、4-米盖尔·弗拉尼奥、3-蒙里亚尔/10-普尼亚尔，12-胡安弗兰、6-内科南、20-普拉希尔/21-巴多茨、/11-潘迪亚尼。”

“巴萨（4-3-3）：1-巴尔德斯/20-阿尔维斯、5-普约尔、3-皮克、22-阿比达尔/17-夏尔、28-布斯克茨、6-哈维/10-梅西、9-埃托奥、14-亨利。”

Both sides lined up in the player tunnel.

Puyol even patted Charles on the shoulder and said, "Come on, don't be nervous."

Charles: “Okay.”

As both sides slowly walked towards the field, this "reverse football system" finally moved.

"TADA~ The host is detected to be playing. The reverse football system is dedicated to serving the host. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Reverse Messi - Big Flea' experience card."

Ciel: ??? No, what the hell is a giant flea?

System: "Based on the body size, Messi is called the 'little flea', so the host is the 'big flea'."

"Why don't you just come with 'Old Flea'?"

"That makes sense. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Reverse Messi - Old Flea Experience Card'."

Fuck, I was just talking, why did you take it so seriously?

"I just want to know, how old are you, 'Old Flea'?"

If it is the 60-year-old Messi, firstly, Charles doesn't know whether Messi can play until he is 60, and secondly, he doesn't know how Messi will maintain himself at the age of 60.

"Host, rest assured, the 'old flea' is a 50-year-old 'young flea'. Absolutely authentic and definitely old enough."

"…Now, is it okay to switch back to 'Big Flea'?"

"No, host."

Charles walked onto the stage with a dead heart.

The only thing that can comfort myself is that a 50-year-old "old flea" should be able to jump more than a 60-year-old "old old flea".

As the field was dispersing, Charles ran to Messi's side.

"Leo..."

"What's wrong?" Charles patted Messi's shoulder earnestly, "You must take good care of yourself, eat less barbecue, and play until you are 50 years old."

Messi: ???
Charles doesn't know how the 50-year-old Messi plays football, but he thinks that 50-year-old people should pay attention to saving energy when playing football.

It's not realistic to run all over the field.

Sure enough, after running on the field for a few minutes, Charles felt his energy rapidly declining.

Charles looked back and saw that his teammates had already started to move.

Xavi passed the ball back to Pique, who passed it across to Alves with his left foot.

Charles quickly jogged to create distance between them. Nei Conan also turned around and observed Charles' running, and quickly ran between Alves and Charles to cut off any possible connection between the two.

Seeing Nekonan running, Charles immediately ran back, or rather strolled in the opposite direction.

Alves took a few steps with the ball to delay time, and Neconan once again looked back to observe Charles's movement.

He discovered that this "genius" who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere was already running in the opposite direction. Without any hesitation, he once again ran between Alves and Charles, once again cutting off their passing route.

At this moment, Charles and Neconan jogged in opposite directions again. Alves saw the opportunity and pushed with the inside of his right foot. Neconan realized that something was wrong and looked back again, only to find that Charles had already run to the receiving position.

Damn, Conan rushed towards the ball, but it was too late.

Charles stopped the ball with his left foot and turned around. At this time, Monreal and Neconan were running towards him.

Charles leaned forward slightly and kicked the ball with his right foot.

"Snapped--"

Monreal looked back and saw that the ball easily penetrated Osasuna's defense like a sharp blade cutting through iron silently.

Messi received the ball easily, and there was no one in the empty backcourt except the goalkeeper.

"Just a brilliant pass!"

"Messi has a one-on-one chance."

"…The ball goes in! Barcelona 1:0 Osasuna."

【Charlotte Bar】

"No, why is this guy walking around the court all the time?"

"Maybe I ate tomatoes a few days ago and ended up in the hospital. I'm still not well now."

"? Eating tomatoes can also send you to the hospital, this must be a joke."

"It's so funny, he's a weirdo. On his first day at Barcelona, ​​the whole team was having breakfast together, and he just took a bite of ketchup and was carried into the ambulance."

"Yes, I saw the newspaper at that time. There was ketchup on his clothes, on his chest, which looked like blood, and then Marca started reporting it like crazy."

"It said: Barcelona bullied newcomers, on the first day of teammates meeting, there was bullying in the locker room, Charles' jersey was stained with blood and he was rushed to the hospital."

"It was so funny. At that time, the Spanish newspapers even listed several suspected 'murderers'. Many Benedetto fans heard about this and ran to Barcelona to protest."

"Whatever you say - Benedoo's call that day did not leave behind the back of Charles, but they will always be the shadow of Charles."

"Why did you get so off topic? Weren't we still talking about taking a walk?"

……

"I don't know how Charles ended up in the hospital, but now I know how to get into Barcelona."

"How to get in?"

"Two key skills to get into Barca - walking + celebration."

"You didn't mention goals or assists at all."

"One walk is to wait for the opportunity, and the other is to digest the sea cucumber."

“The national football team has learned the first half.”

"Then I'm right when I say that the Chinese national team is at least half as strong as the Shire team."

"It's so funny, you are just trying to learn from others, right?"
