It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 95 93 Jealousy makes him unrecognizable (daily transition)
Although it was only a finger injury that only needed to be bandaged, Charles still lay down on the bed skillfully.

Are you kidding? Barcelona has already booked a one-year VIP ward package for Charles in this hospital. Wouldn’t it be a waste if he doesn’t stay there?
Charles skillfully used his left hand to hold the spoon while eating and watching the news.

Although he is not left-handed, after staying in Barcelona for a long time, his left hand has become proficient in writing, eating and other functions.

Mundo Deportivo: "Barcelona's goal performance, Charles crushed Bayern Munich in 30 minutes."

"In the Champions League match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, we can see goals, passion and carnival."

"However, it seemed like there was only one team performing on the field. There were two bands competing against each other, but there was only one melody on the scene."

"Even though Bayern players performed hard in this game, their brilliance was completely overshadowed by Barcelona players."

"Before the game, everyone was discussing - who is the most popular player in Europe, Charles or Ribery?"

"But before the game was over, even before the first half, the fight between the two was already beyond doubt."

"Charles scored twice and assisted his teammates, but Ribery sank along with the team in this massacre."

"Compared to Ribery, Charles is like the unstoppable Napoleon, bringing us dizzying joy."

Daily Sports: "Pep got his first red card as coach and angrily accused the referee of being blind."

"In the 16th minute of the first half, Charles was kicked down in the penalty area. Instead of awarding a penalty, England referee Webber judged that Charles had dived and showed him a yellow card."

"This scene made Guardiola very angry, and he protested fiercely to the referee, the fourth official and the assistant referee, and was eventually sent off by the referee with a red card."

"This was Guardiola's first red card in his first-team coaching career. Although Pep expressed regret after the game, he still firmly believed that Webber had made a serious mistake."

"At the same time, Guardiola called for better protection for talented players in his post-match press conference."

"'Although Charles always relied on his strong will to return to the court again and again after the fouls in the past, he was able to maintain a good competitive level.'"

"'But we can't do this to our talented players.'"

"'In the 1990s, rough fouls once reduced the viewing level of football to the lowest level, and many talented players, such as Van Basten, had to leave the field.'"

"'Everyone, once you've seen the Charr game, you'll never forget the Charr's style of play.'"

"We should strengthen the protection of players and prohibit rough fouls, which is also the best way to extend the vitality of the game of football."

Marca: "Ribery is a light-year away from genius. There is only one Charles in the world."

"They are two of the most visually pleasing superstars in football today, but in this direct dialogue between these two masters of art, the difference in the level of their performances is so obvious."

"Charles and Ribery are teammates in the national team. Although this was the first time they faced each other, Charles beat Ribery directly."

"In the Champions League match between Barcelona and Bayern, Charles is no longer a participant in the game, but has become a maker of the game."

“Spielberg makes magnificent films, Calvino makes beautiful prose, and Shire makes unforgettable goals.”

"Zidane also said in an interview: 'Charles is a very hard-working player on the field. The injury is a huge pity for him. We all know how important he is to Barcelona.'"

"'Barca suffered a lot when he was absent.'"

AS: "Can Ciel be resurrected after Easter?"

"When the half-time whistle blew for the match between Bayern and Barcelona, ​​the score of 7:0 on the scoreboard made the Bayern players look frustrated."

"Ribery subconsciously took off his jersey and walked towards the Barcelona team to exchange jerseys. Suddenly, he stopped his hands and looked confused. Charles was urgently treated for a foul."

"Ribery and Charr's national team teammate even have the same birthday."

"The 'King of Bayern', who just celebrated his 26th birthday the day before, probably didn't expect that such a 'birthday gift' would be waiting for him."

"The 'Barcelona Crown Prince', who had just blown out his 19th birthday candles, probably didn't expect that he would be sent to the hospital after receiving a yellow card for no apparent reason."

"It is very likely that Barcelona will advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, and their opponents will be even stronger once they reach the semi-finals."

"Their semi-final opponents will be between Liverpool and Chelsea. In the first leg, when Barcelona beat Bayern, Chelsea also scored three goals in a row against Liverpool."

"If Charles plays with a yellow card, he could be suspended at any time, which would be very bad for Barcelona. So they have to do everything they can to ensure that Charles doesn't get a yellow card."

"But it will be difficult for UEFA to respond to this appeal before Barca's away game against Bayern next Tuesday, as this weekend is Easter."

Charles couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

In order to maintain the authority of the referee, there is basically no possibility of canceling the referee's decision.

There is a high probability that his yellow card cannot be cancelled.

Also, Guardiola was sent off with a straight red card, so he will have to continue sitting in the stands for the next Champions League game.

He will definitely appeal, but Charles feels that the probability of Guardiola's appeal being successful is very low.

At the same time, because of the existence of Easter, there is an awkward time node here.

During the appeal process, before the result comes out, Guardiola will not be affected by the red card, which means he can continue to play.

Here comes the problem.

If the UEFA had not made any new penalty decision before the match against Bayern, Guardiola would have been able to play in the match against Bayern.

If UEFA really revokes Guardiola's red card, then everything will be fine.

If it is not revoked, then Guardiola will have to suspend the game in the first leg of the semi-finals against a strong opponent...

If the second leg against Bayern can produce a result, Barcelona will have the last laugh even if they are suspended.

Because Barcelona could even give up the game directly, and finally be judged as losing 0:3, but Barcelona still won in the end...

Because of the tight schedule, the team did not take a holiday after this game.

The next day, Charles also returned to the training base from his VIP ward to start a new day.

Charles doesn't know whether it's because he eats too many snacks that Guardiola is unhappy with, or for some other reason, his diet has changed recently.

For example, the drink I drank when I just woke up changed from simple milk to a mixed juice squeezed from half a carrot, half an apple, a beet, two cabbage leaves, a slice of ginger and an orange.

Even though Charles was extremely averse to ginger, he still couldn't resist Guardiola's power.

After arriving at the restaurant of the training base today, Charles asked Ruth for today's breakfast as usual. After seeing the food, his face turned pale instantly.

Just when Charles thought the whole team was like him, when he sat down in his seat, he saw Messi, Xavi and Puyol eating so well.

Then he looked down at his own food - pineapple and mint juice, a slice of bread, a slice of cheese, a bowl of fruit and a boiled egg.

Seeing Charles' face drop instantly, as if he missed potato pancakes very much, Harvey laughed out loud, "Charles, you...hahahaha..."

Charles gnashed his teeth and picked up the bread to eat. Jealousy made him look unrecognizable. "I thought everyone had this, but I didn't expect that I was the only one who enjoyed this treatment."

Puyol picked up the milk and said, "You ate too many snacks. Last time you jumped on Messi and almost crushed him. That's why Pep had to do this to make you lose some weight."

"This has nothing to do with me," Messi looked at Charles innocently, "I didn't tell Pep that you were too heavy and needed to lose weight."

Xavi took Ciel's boiled egg and peeled it for him. "If you asked Karim and his friends to send you less chocolate, Pep wouldn't control your diet like this."

"You know, if Pep hadn't caught you drinking Coke, Pep wouldn't have asked someone to move the beverage vending machine out overnight."

By lunchtime, Charles realized that things were far from over.

The lunch that Ruth gave him was much richer than breakfast, with not only staple food but also snacks.

Snacks were fine, just some bananas and oatmeal, oranges and cashews, grapes and pistachios, fruit salad and walnuts. But what he didn't expect was that he was not only allowed to eat grass for snacks, but also for the main course.

The main dishes are salads, fish sandwiches, beef, chicken, and some spinach and feijoa.

While holding the plate, Charles looked at Ruth seriously and said, "I'm not going to have something like this for my dinner, am I?"

Unlike Adrian, Russ is specifically responsible for Charles' diet. After Charles returns home, he will go to Charles' house to prepare dinner for him.

"Of course it's different," Ruth said with a kind smile, "I'll have a salad mixed with tuna and other vegetables in the evening."

"It includes hearts of palm, canned carrots, cabbage, saffron, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and a bowl of soy milk mixed with papaya juice. It's absolutely healthy."

"Isn't this Alves' recipe?" Charles felt that his face would soon become hideous.

Alves has a nickname, called "Barcelona Iron Lung".

Last November, when Barcelona challenged Sporting Lisbon away, Alves ran more than 11 meters in a single game.

It is equivalent to at least two Basahers.

Moreover, for Alves, running over 10,000 meters in a single game is almost commonplace.

When Alves was still in Sevilla, he once had an amazing record of running 1.5 meters in a single game in the Champions League.

"No, it's different," Ruth shook her head, "There's no tomato or eggplant in your portion."

As Ruth smiled, Charles walked to his seat with a plate in his hand, "Leo, I'll come to your house for a barbecue on Easter."

On April 4, the day before the Easter game, not only did Barcelona host Recreativo Huelva, but Barcelona's back office was also working on Charles' yellow card and Guardiola's suspension.

Yes, taking various reasons into consideration, Barcelona did not make a hasty appeal after the end of the last Champions League, but waited until today.

Barcelona asked for the yellow card given to Charles to be cancelled and for Guardiola to be allowed to take charge of the second leg against Bayern.

The result of the appeal is still unknown, but Guardiola has already started rotating the players.

Puyol, Xavi, Eto'o, Charles and Yaya Toure all sat on the bench, while Abidal was on the bench.

Just as Charles was about to line up in the player tunnel, he was suddenly stopped by Guardiola, who had just returned from the pre-match press conference.

"What's wrong, boss?" Charles looked at Guardiola in confusion, only to see him take out a magazine from his bag and hand it to Charles.

"You can take a good look at it from the bench later," Guardiola smiled and patted Charles on the shoulder, then walked to the back of the line.

Only when he reached the bench did Charles open the rolled-up magazine.

It is the European Sports Magazines (ESM).

When Charles opened it, he saw Guardiola's markings and notes on it. Moreover, when Charles opened it, he saw the European Team of the Month for March selected by ESM.

The best lineup of EMS is a combination of Denmark's "Lottery Intelligence", Russia's "Sports Express", Belgium's "Football Magazine", Turkey's "Fanatical", Portugal's "Ball News"...

If the above are not famous enough, there is also Germany's "Kicker", Spain's "Footballer" and England's "World Football".

The 11 players selected this time are from three leagues: the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. Among them, 3 are from La Liga, 6 are from the Premier League and 4 is from Serie A.

Among them, all the players in the La Liga best team are from Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The most terrifying team is Barcelona. Barcelona has a total of 5 players shortlisted in three lines, and it is the team with the largest number of shortlisted players in this period.

“Goalkeeper: Cesar (Serie A, Inter Milan, 4 votes);

"Defenders: Daniel Alves (La Liga, Barcelona, ​​5 votes), John Terry (Premier League, Chelsea, 2 votes), Jamie Carragher (Premier League, Liverpool, 3 votes);

"Midfielders: Messi (La Liga, Barcelona, ​​6 votes), Xavi (La Liga, Barcelona, ​​4 votes), Gerrard (Premier League, Liverpool, 8 votes);

"Forwards: Charles (La Liga, Barcelona, ​​6 votes), Huntelaar (La Liga, Real Madrid, 5 votes), Torres (Premier League, Liverpool, 3 votes), Eto'o (La Liga, Barcelona, ​​3 votes)."

For a moment, Charles didn't understand what Guardiola meant by showing him this, so he turned the magazine to the next page.

It is still full of Guardiola's notes.

"Charles' position has been unpredictable this season. When facing strong teams, he has played in the midfield and even drifted to the right to scare the opponent."

"But against a team like Espanyol who defended very hard against Barcelona, ​​Charles was like a hound, biting on the breakthrough on the right."

"He can play as a front midfielder in attack, becoming Iniesta or Xavi - Charles, who has the ability to control the wing, certainly knows that what Guardiola wants is his breakthrough on the wing."

"In a day filled with dangerous defensive moves such as sliding tackles, and with Charles returning from multiple injuries in the hospital, it is a privilege to see him continue to dribble like this."

"Different people have different understandings of what dribbling means in football. But after only four months at Barcelona, ​​Charles has become an idol for the kids here."

"The Catalan said: 'The children's dream is to dribble past all 11 opponents, so Charles is their idol. When Charles wants to dribble past the opponent, we never think the opponent can stop him.'"

"...No coach can say no to Charles. As Klinsmann said after the game: 'When Charles is happy, everything becomes simple, even if he is about to fall.'"

"'When Charles dribbles past the defense, everyone expects what will happen, but no one can predict what will happen. Charles' dribbling makes the game unpredictable.'"

"Because Real Madrid missed out on Charles because of his obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo when Calderon was still president, the Madrid media is extremely jealous of Barcelona."

"Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS said sourly: 'In late March and early April, Charles had not been injured for several weeks in a row, but in the Champions League game not long ago, Charles was still sent to the hospital.'"

"'If Charles appeared in Real Madrid, he would definitely receive more caring protection...'"

"The roaring Camp Nou, the fluttering flags, the boiling Camp Nou... those scenes are indeed spectacular, but even more spectacular is the scene when Charles plays."

"…Mundo Deportivo editor-in-chief Santi used video games to describe Barcelona's performance: 'Today's Barcelona is like being controlled by an invisible joystick.'"

"'But Ciel is much faster than in the PS or PSP, and can dribble past opponents more easily. The game company's technology for simulating Ciel needs to be improved...'"

When Charles finally finished reading the article, he found Guardiola's comment at the end of the article: "Charlie, stay confident, you are the best."

Charles closed and opened the magazine several times, and finally turned his head away to try not to look at the man in a suit standing in the command area.

……

After 90 minutes of the game, Barcelona won 2:0.

After the game, Guardiola announced that there would be a half-day holiday on Easter Day.

The next day, just when Charles had just finished barbecue with Messi and returned to the training base, what no one expected was that there were still people working in the UEFA Football League on Easter Day.

Guardiola stood in the middle of the locker room and clapped his hands. After seeing everyone's eyes were on him, he said, "Our appeal has been rejected."

"Unfortunately, our request disturbed UEFA officials who were on Easter break and not only did they reject our appeal, I was also fined an additional €2000."

After saying that, Guardiola made a helpless expression, "I once said that UEFA would not accept a reversal under normal circumstances."

"But this is only secondary and will not affect the development of the game. There is no need to worry too much about the next game against Bayern. I believe Vilanova will do well."

"But..." Guardiola's tone suddenly changed from light-hearted and humorous to serious.

"We can score 7 goals in one game, and Bayern is also capable of scoring 7 goals against us, so we must be extra careful and not let this happen to us again. Do you understand?"

Puyol raised his left hand and clenched his fist, "Don't worry, boss!"

Led by Puyol, all the players stood up, "Don't worry, boss!"
