It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 60 60sheep Qinke
Charles grabbed a bag of melon seeds from his bag. In an instant, everyone in the locker room gathered around him, and soon all of Charles' melon seeds were gone.

Boyang suggested while eating sunflower seeds, "Let's play a game of guessing riddles."

Ciel looked at the empty backpack, "The loser will be treated! And I'll buy him a bag of snacks. Of course, I'll choose."

Valdez took a sip of water and said, "Okay, who goes first?"

Puyol leaned against the cabinet and thought for a while: "I'll go first. Where is there a river but no water, a forest but no trees, a city but no buildings?"

“Is it a fairy tale?”

Puyol shook his head, "No, think about it again."

Eto'o asked while cracking melon seeds, "Is it something common in life?"

"Yes. And it's in the boss's office."

As a frequent visitor to Guardiola's little black room, Charles quickly realized, "It's a map!"

Puyol smiled and clapped his hands, "Congratulations, you got the answer right."

Messi was a step late in grabbing the melon seeds, and he quickly finished the ones he had. "It's my turn. A football star, his name is an animal that means affirmation."

Harvey felt his brain was running out of steam. "A name for an animal that means affirmation?"

Messi stifled a laugh, "Right."

Pique shook his head. “Are you sure you’re talking about the football stars on Earth?”

"I am sure."

Charles went through all the people he remembered in his mind, but he couldn't remember who it was. "We can't guess it, so tell us the answer."

Messi couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. "Hahaha, it's 'Me~ssi (Me~ssi, si means "yes" in Spanish)'."

There was laughter in the locker room.

Charles couldn't help laughing. I'll do the same. "There's a famous football star in the world. His name is also a sheep, but it's not Meeshi."

Busquets rolled his eyes, "Oh - could it be Eidur (Gudjohnsen)?"

Ciel suppressed a laugh and shrugged, "No."

Everyone guessed at once, but none of them got it right. "Charles, you better tell us the answer."

"Hahaha, it's Shepchenko."

The atmosphere in the entire locker room suddenly rose several degrees.

"Shevchenko, sheepchenko...hahaha——"

Bojan waved his hands, "Me too, me too... Which is the longest day of the week?"

Henry also took a sip of water, "Of course, on the day of the competition."

"No, no, no, it's a fixed day," Bojan jumped up excitedly, "Guess, guess--"

"The day when winter time changes to summer time?"

"On New Year's Day?"

"..."

Bo Yang beamed with joy, "You guessed wrong, it's Wednesday."

Charles looked at Bojan, "Why?"

Before Bojan could answer, Busquets answered first, "Because it is the day with the most letters (in Spanish)."

Ciel slapped his head, "You're so unkind to people who don't know Spanish that well."

"Then I'll have another one..."

Soon, fifteen minutes passed.

Athletic Bilbao made the first substitution, with veteran Toquero replacing Javi Martinez
Barcelona continued to control the game in the second half.

In the 47th minute, Obais was given a yellow card for handball.

Then Messi passed the ball, and Iniesta shot with his left foot from 19 yards inside the penalty area and hit the left post.

Not long after, Messi broke through to the small penalty area and fell, but the referee did not give him a penalty. In the 51st minute, Eto'o was given his ninth yellow card in the league this season for a dangerous step.

In the 53rd minute, Silveño made a cross from the left, Eto'o headed the ball from 6 meters in front of the goal, but the ball was saved by Iraizos and went out of the bottom line.

Messi broke through on the right side and passed the ball back to the baseline. Eto'o shot from the edge of the small penalty area, but unfortunately it was blocked by the defender and went out of the baseline.

Corner kick for Barcelona.

As Xavi took the corner kick,
Pique headed the ball from 12 yards, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper again.

Barcelona corner kick cycle.

Xavi took another corner kick, this time it was not Pique but Henry, whose shot from 3 meters in front of the goal was saved by Iraizos.

Pique blocked the ball and Eto'o turned and shot again but the shot went over the bar.

Barcelona's subsequent attacks became more and more fierce.

In the 57th minute, Iniesta made a diagonal pass from the left side in front of the penalty area, and Eto'o headed the ball wide.

Iniesta and Amorebieta were then both given yellow cards for fouls.

In the 61st minute, Messi passed the ball and Eto'o's shot in front of the penalty area went wide.

In the 65th minute, Puyol made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Eto'o's shot from 11 yards hit the crossbar.

Just three minutes later, Messi's shot from 15 yards on the right side of the penalty area went over the bar.

In the 70th minute, Busquets was given a yellow card for fouling Obais.

In the 74th minute, Messi and Eto'o made consecutive passes in the frontcourt, and Henry's shot from the edge of the penalty area hit the right post and went wide.

Three minutes later, Eto'o passed the ball and Henry's shot in the penalty area was saved by Iraizos.

In the 79th minute, Yest made a straight pass and Iraola's shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area hit the side net.

In the 82nd minute, Gudjohnsen replaced Iniesta.

One minute later, Henry made a cross in the penalty area and Eto'o's shot in the penalty area was blocked again.

In the 85th minute, Eto'o passed the ball and Marcos' shot from the edge of the penalty area went right into Iraizos' arms.

In the 88th minute, Xavi passed the ball and Eto'o hit the left post again.

But what Charr didn't expect was that Puyol was still injured even though the game was about to end.

In the 91st minute, Victor Sanchez replaced the injured Puyol.

Originally, for Barcelona recently, defense is still the weakest link in the game.

Valdés has made many mistakes recently, and the defenders have also made frequent mistakes.

Players on the back line are more prone to injuries. Even with the presence of the "high priest" Charles, injuries still make Barcelona's defense stretched.

Generally speaking, during this period of time, when the game enters the middle and late stages, most teams will encounter such problems.

The more famous one is Arsenal.

As someone said, there are three characteristics when spring comes: 1. The temperature rises; 2. The days get longer; 3. Arsenal loses its stride.

Abidal and Milito are still seriously injured, Alves will be forced to suspend due to accumulating five yellow cards, and Cáceres has temporarily taken leave for some reasons.

In the Barcelona first team, there are only four defenders left: Puyol, Pique, Max and Sylvinho.

Apart from this, the only one left is the jack-of-all-trades Victor Sanchez who can temporarily play the role of defender.

Now Puyol is injured and the next game is the Champions League.

Charles thought about it and felt that what Guardiola could do now was to recruit B team central defender Bodia into the roster.

In the 94th minute, Messi passed the ball and Henry's shot in the penalty area was saved again.

In the end, at home, Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 2:0.
