Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 118 A 'friendly' discussion with Guardiola

Although Lin Quan became a little popular because of the Puskas Award, tonight's stage belongs to the peerless twins.

After presenting the award to Miss World Football, Cannavaro, a former World Cup champion member, Golden Globe winner and World Footballer of the Year, walked onto the podium with a smile as the award presenter.

He will announce the most important award of today's awards ceremony - the final winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or!
Cannavaro knew that the focus of the audience was on himself, but he knew better that the focus of these people's attention was the unopened list of awards in his hands.

So, when he came to the stage, Cannavaro made a move to peek at the list of winners in his hand, which caused bursts of laughter from the audience.

The camera was then given to Iniesta, Ronaldo and Messi who were selected as the last three candidates for the Ballon d'Or, giving them a shot juxtaposed in the same frame.

The expressions of the three of them looked a little unnatural, and they all looked a little nervous.

Although Iniesta knew that he was running with him, he couldn't help feeling lucky at this moment:
What if?
I have been running with me for several years. If the judges realize the importance of the midfield and vote for me, then I may have a chance to win the Golden Globe Award.

As for Ronaldo and Messi, according to external analysis, the chances of the two winning the championship are not much different, and Messi has a certain lead.

Ronaldo couldn't help but glance at Messi. The opponent has won three Ballon d'Ors in a row. His performance in the past few years is not bad. Every loss is equivalent to paving the way for his own award.

After laying the groundwork for three years in a row, it must be time to harvest, right?
Messi was a little nervous. He didn't have much honor in 12. The national team had nothing to show for it, and the club lost the Champions League and the league title.

But his personal goals reached a new high, and even broke the world record, which is a huge plus for him.

Cannavaro did not deliberately delay time, he quickly unwrapped the list of winners:
"The player who won the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or is - Leo Messi!"

The scene shot was given to Messi and Ronaldo sitting in the front.

Ronaldo pursed his lips, feeling a little complicated, but still applauded Messi.

He is 27 years old this year and has only one Golden Globe Award, while Messi is only 25 years old this year, but he has already won four Golden Globes.

Can I still catch up with him?

Looking at the back of Messi on stage to accept the award, Ronaldo couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Lin Quan, Harvey, Cesc Fabregas and others applauded the award-winning Messi. He glanced at Ronaldo's stubborn back while applauding.

The world calls them the peerless twins, but now Messi has won the Ballon d'Or four times in a row, far surpassing Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, who has always been strong, must feel uncomfortable.

With his character, in order to prove that he will not lose to Messi, he will definitely play harder in the next game!
……

After the awards ceremony, Lin Quan did not go to congratulate Messi with Xiaofa and the others.

The two are actually not very close, and he doesn't plan to return to Barcelona to play football, so he won't join in the fun.

Taking advantage of Guardiola's opportunity to chat with Bosque, Lin Quan found Bosque.

"Coach, congratulations on winning the best coach award!"

"Hehe, it's just good luck, I am also very pleased to see that you have made progress during this period of time!"

Bosque had just won the award and was in a very happy mood. After seeing Lin Quan, he gave him a warm hug.

Seeing a Lin Quan who has improved in strength, is alive and kicking, and is not injured is the best news for Bosque.

There is only half a year left in the Confederations Cup. During this period, the core players of the team must not be injured, especially serious injuries.

Otherwise, they may not be able to play in the Confederations Cup.

The other positions in the Spanish lineup are fine, and the bench in the midfield is strong. Even if one or two players are occasionally injured, the impact will not be great.

But in the frontcourt, especially Lin Quan, there is no other alternative at all.

This caused Bosque to be very nervous every time Lin Quan played, wishing to watch for two hours in front of the TV until he was sure that he was not injured before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

When there was no Lin Quan in the team before, the coach had never been so tired.

But tiredness also pays off, and Lin Quan's progress is visible to the naked eye.

And as he got older, Bosque noticed improvements in every aspect of his body.

Just like the game between Werder Bremen and Bayern not long ago, Lin Quan was able to have such physical fitness in the overtime period, which really surprised the old coach.

Seeing that Bosque was in a good mood, Lin Quan took the opportunity to mention to him that he wanted to play more games.

"For the national team, next year there will be World Cup preliminaries and the Confederations Cup. The Confederations Cup has always been a rehearsal for the World Cup. The opponents are also very strong, so we need to go all out. This time the Confederations Cup I will I will take you with me and play as the main force."

Bosque thought that Lin Quan was worried about his position as the main force, so he made a promise to him:

As long as he is not injured, then important games in Spain will bring him.

"But the national team hasn't played much in the past few months. You know, Werder Bremen has very few games. I just thought, can I play with the national youth team? They are not playing European youth. game?"

Bosque looked at him in surprise: "Isn't that good? It's meaningless for you to play in the youth team. It's not difficult for you to play at that level, and it won't do much for you to exercise."

Anyway, you are a star shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or. Are you embarrassed to play football with a group of kids in their early 20s?

Uh, this little guy doesn't seem to be 17 years old, younger than those little fur kids. .

Bosque suddenly became speechless.

Lin Quan sighed in his heart: Why is it useless, the youth team can win a game and get one point anyway!

This kind of game that can be easily won is simply the game he dreamed of, right?

The only disadvantage is that you need to run back and forth between the club and the national team, which is a bit tossing, and the reward points are too few, only 1 point per game.

If there are 2 points in a game, he will definitely play the youth team game, the kind that he can't even drive away!

Bosque saw that Lin Quan seemed to be in a low mood, and he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm too much, so he asked:
"Why, do you really want to play the game?"

"Yes, I want to communicate with more opponents, accumulate experience in the game, and grow better!"

"Well, the idea is very good and very aggressive, but forget about the youth team competition, abuse of food can't make you improve, if you want to communicate, communicate with the top team!"

As soon as Lin Quan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was waiting for this sentence from you after saying so much!
"We are going to Brazil to play in the Confederations Cup this year, and the participating teams are all champions from all continents, and they are all very strong.

Therefore, we need to communicate more with some powerful opponents, especially play friendly matches with teams with similar styles to those participating teams, so as to adapt to the opponent's rhythm.

In this way, you won't feel uncomfortable in the Confederations Cup! "

The participating teams for the 2013 Confederations Cup have basically been determined, namely:
Host Brazil, European and World Cup champion Spain, Asian champion Japan, Copa America champion Uruguay, Central American champion Mexico, Oceania champion Tahiti and European Cup runner-up Italy.

The Africa Cup of Nations has not yet finished playing, and the opponents for promotion have not yet been determined.

Among these eight teams, Brazil, Uruguay, Italy and Mexico are the strongest.

They are typical representatives of European football and American football.

So if Spain wants to choose an opponent for the warm-up match, it will choose a team that is geographically close to them and has a similar style.

Bosque immediately thought of several suitable lists in his mind, but whether he can contact them depends on the communication and negotiation between the Spanish Football Association and the opponent's football association.

After participating in the FIFA awards, Lin Quan disappeared again.

During his disappearance, Guardiola did show up once.

On January 1, Guardiola appeared in Munich and officially signed a contract with Bayern Munich.

The two sides signed a three-year contract, the contract deadline is 2016.

Guardiola's signing with Bayern has disappointed those who tried to chase him.

Especially for Chelsea, it is said that Abramovich threw something angrily in his office.

And after he finished calming down, he thought of Mourinho, who is as famous as Guardiola.

"Call Mendes and tell him I want to invite him to watch the game at Stamford Bridge!"

If you can't invite Guardiola, then you can only invite Mourinho.

Chelsea's league record this season is terrible. After the 22nd round, they are 13 points behind the leader Manchester United, and basically have no hope of winning the league championship.

Not only that, but their Champions League seats are not very stable.

Chelsea, currently ranked No. 3, has several chasers behind them.

Among them, especially Arsenal, the four-guaranteed madman, made them a little restless.

Arsenal are currently fifth, five points behind Chelsea.

Although there is a big difference in points, this madman fighting for the top four can always explode with incredible fighting power every time it reaches the end of the season, miraculously retaining his place in the Champions League.

This makes Chelsea's lead look unsafe!

The poor record and the shaky Champions League seat have made Abramovich's patience with Emma Teo reach the limit.

Although the opponent helped the team win the Champions League trophy last year and fulfilled his Champions League dream.

But it is impossible for him to tolerate the opponent for a lifetime just because of a Champions League trophy. Giving him a year is already considered as the best of humanity.

Now is the time to break up with each other!
Mourinho's life in Real Madrid is not easy, La Liga has only played half, and Real Madrid is 18 points behind Barcelona in the standings!
This point difference basically declared that Real Madrid was out and missed the chance to defend the title.

Fortunately, their Champions League has not been eliminated, and there is still a chance to win the cup.

But if they are also eliminated in the Champions League, then Mourinho will definitely be fired.

He knew this very well in his heart, so in the face of Chelsea's hint, Mourinho did not refuse.

If it weren't for the setbacks he suffered in Real Madrid, with his temper, he would not have entered the palace to coach Chelsea for the second time.

……

The undercurrent in football has nothing to do with Lin Quan. During this time, he has been training hard to prepare for the second half of the season.

In addition to his daily training, these days he has been studying Guardiola's treasured video tapes.

From time to time, I also discuss football tactics and other things with Guardiola.

Guardiola's understanding of football is very avant-garde, and the tricks he fiddled with in the game are his understanding of football.

But these understandings are not necessarily correct, at least his whole work, the number of failures is mostly.

"Generally speaking, modern football, especially European football, which represents the direction of football development, is increasingly emphasizing the whole and weakening the role attributes of players in a certain position, such as the midfielder. The classical midfielder has basically disappeared now."

"Just like the frontless formation created by Barcelona and the Spanish national team, everyone has the ability to attack, and everyone can take responsibility for organizing the offense. The position is not fixed, so it is more difficult to defend!"

Lin Quan retorted: "Barcelona's pass and control tactics are strong, isn't it because of Messi? Almost the same lineup, the Spanish national team's no striker formation is not very effective!"

Before he joined the Spanish national team, the Spanish striker was so weak that even the goal of the big team was difficult to break through!

Although everyone can attack, everyone can't break the goal, and the shooting skills are just not as good as professional forwards.

Guardiola was at a loss for words for a while, and Spain's frontless formation was indeed a bit ugly, but they won several championships anyway, and the results were still good.

Guardiola has his own understanding of the trend of football development.

He insisted that passing and controlling football is the future direction of development, but Lin Quan felt that tactics similar to Atletico Madrid and Dortmund's high-position pressing and using a large number of players to run to cover the space on the field will have a place in football in the future. It might even become mainstream.

Dortmund and Atletico Madrid rely on less financial resources and are inferior to the top giants' player team. Being able to create such a record represents the superiority of this style of play.

Perhaps for the giants, this tactic is not attractive enough, and they will not lower themselves to play this kind of football.

But for the teams in the middle and lower reaches, this tactic is very instructive.

Transmission and control can only be a luxury privilege of the top giants, and if the configuration is slightly worse, it will not work.

But Simeone and Klopp's tactics can be learned by small teams.

The number of giants in the league is limited, but the number of ordinary teams is large, so the pass-and-control style of play may not be as popular as this high-position pressing style of play.

The two disagreed, and a debate broke out, but neither of them was stubborn. After the debate, both of them changed their views.

Especially Guardiola, he seems to have thought of a new reorganization plan, and he can't wait to try it.

If it wasn't for him not coaching the team now, he would definitely take his own team as a test product for the first time and go to the field to verify it.

Seeing Guardiola's eager expression, Lin Quan felt a little uneasy:
I don't know if what Guardiola thinks of can work. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I will suffer together in Bayern in the future!

Winter break is coming to an end soon.

After a month of training, Lin Quan's weight increased by 1 kg, reaching 74 kg, and his physical fitness has also improved a lot.

With the help of the second-level physical talent, now he has no problem playing the whole game.

Even when encountering the opponent's close marking, he has the ability to get rid of the opponent through active running.

In addition, in the free time and training with Guardiola, Gua Tu also passed on some of his own defensive experience.

Guardiola was born as a defensive midfielder. He is La Masia's traditional No. 4 position. He has to undertake both offensive and defensive responsibilities.

His physical fitness is not too good, but his defensive awareness is top-notch and he has made great contributions on the defensive end.

And this way of using experience and awareness instead of relying on the body to defend is very suitable for Lin Quan, who is a little thin.

After studying with Guardiola for a month, Lin Quan, who was originally a defensive player who was fighting the five scumbags, has probably evolved to the level of fighting the ten scumbags?
Although it is still not too strong, at least it will not be easily passed by others like the first half of the season.

After packing up and saying goodbye to his family, Lin Quan flew back to Germany.

When he returned to the club, many teammates had already arrived ahead of schedule.

Lin Quan himself paid great attention to maintaining his figure during the winter break. He only gained one kilogram in weight, and what he gained was muscle.

But his teammates, especially those who didn't pay much attention to their diet, gained significantly more weight.

This guy Peterson, who hasn't seen him for a month, has actually gained a lot of weight.

Lin Quan almost didn't recognize him when he saw him.

"Uh, Niels, are you swollen?"

"Hmph, this kid didn't pay attention to his diet at home, and gained 8 kilograms in weight! It only took one month. If he was given a year, he would be too fat to walk!"

The head coach Shaf blew his beard and stared angrily, and said with hatred.

This kid gained weight like he was blowing up a balloon, and the pigs in the pig farm didn't grow as fast as him!
"I'm wronged, I've actually paid great attention to controlling my weight, and I only ate a few million things every meal!"

"How much is a little?"

"Just a few burgers, some French fries, a few sandwiches, and a bottle of Fat House Happy Water..."

"How dare you drink carbonated drinks!"

Shaf was completely outraged:

"Go and run me 20 laps along the court. From now on, before training every day, you will run me 20 laps before training!"

Petersen looked at Lin Quan with a mournful face, as if he wanted to intercede with Lin Quan.

Lin Quan pretended not to see his plea, and turned to chat with De Bruyne and others.

Boss, you can't abandon me!

Petersen called for help to no avail, and under the threat of Shaf's murderous eyes, he had no choice but to run around honestly.

After three days of resuming training, the second half of the Bundesliga started again.

Werder Bremen will take on Dortmund's challenge at home.

Encountered a strong enemy at the beginning, this game is not easy to play!
