Chapter 395 Messi, I Feel Like I’m Being Cheated On!

In a box at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Barcelona acting president Bartomeu was chatting with his confidant Masferr about this summer's presidential election for the Barcelona club.

Last year, Rosell was forced to resign early due to many scandals caused by the transfer of Neymar.

As the first vice-president of Barcelona, ​​Bartomeu temporarily succeeded him as the 40th president of Barcelona.

After experiencing the feeling of being the chairman, Bartomeu grew ambitious. He was not willing to be the acting chairman with a term of only 2 years.

So I plan to officially participate in the presidential election this summer, remove the word "agent" from myself, and officially become the 41st president of Barcelona.

His main competitor is Laporta, the former chairman of Barcelona.

As the founder of the Dream III Dynasty, Laporta has a high status in the hearts of Barcelona fans, and with the connections and prestige he accumulated during his tenure as chairman, he is the number one favorite to be the next chairman.

Compared with Laporta, Bartomeu's qualifications are too young and he has no outstanding achievements.

Therefore, if you run for president with Laporta in the normal way, Bartomeu has a high probability of failure.

However, Bartomeu has an advantage that Laporta does not have.

That is, he is the acting chairman of Barcelona and he can mobilize most of the resources of the Barcelona club to serve himself.

Therefore, as long as he accumulates enough qualifications and merits before the campaign, and allows Barcelona fans to recognize and accept him, his chances of winning will be greatly increased.

For this reason, during his time in power, Bartomeu appointed Enrique as head coach and introduced key players such as Suarez, Rakitic, Bravo, and Ter Stegen in an attempt to impact Barcelona's No. 1 position. Five Champions League trophies and the second treble in team history!

This season, Barcelona has successfully won the league championship and the Copa del Rey with the outstanding performance of MSN.

Now, they are only one step away from winning their second Triple Crown, the last one, which is also the most valuable Champions League trophy!

When he thought of this, Bartomeu couldn't help but get excited.

After planning for a year and a half, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

"Haha, Enrique really has two skills. Our offensive in the frontcourt is getting more and more fierce. Manchester City may not be able to hold on for long!"

Masferrer was also in a very excited mood. He was Bartomeu's confidant. As long as Bartomeu became enlightened, his confidant would naturally follow the chicken and dog to heaven.

Taking charge of such a large club involves hundreds of millions of euros in transfer transactions, and the money is very lucrative.

Russell's gray income was only found to be close to tens of millions of euros. What was not found, I am afraid only he knows the specific amount.

"Well, Messi's performance is getting better and better in the second half. I have a hunch that he will score soon!"

Bartomeu had a faint smile on his face, and he seemed to have everything under control in his movements.

Masferrer looked adoring, he was worthy of being the future chairman, and his aura was becoming more and more like that of a real chairman.

However, as soon as Bartomeu finished speaking, a new goal was really produced.

However, it was not Barcelona that scored the goal, but Manchester City.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Lin Quan took a pass from De Bruyne and scored twice, rewriting the score to 2:1!

Manchester City reversed Barcelona and temporarily took the lead!

Seeing Lin Quan send the ball into Barcelona's gate for the second time, Bartomeu's smile froze on his face.

He seemed to hear the sound of something breaking. That was his dream of becoming the president of Barcelona Club!

…

In another box, Laporta, who is also running for club president this summer, saw Lin Quan scoring Manchester City's second goal. His first reaction was to become furious.

I greeted Enrique and Bartomeu's whole family in my heart, and then I realized something, and a trace of joy appeared on my face.

"Haha, isn't that old boy Bartomeu counting on this championship to compete with me? Now that the championship is on the line, doesn't the position of club president belong to me?"

"Sure enough, the Dream Dynasty will be established in my hands. Speaking of which, I have to thank Bartomeu. Suarez and Neymar are really worth buying!"

On the court, Lin Quan ignored the intrigues between Barcelona's two presidential candidates.

After he saw the football rolling into Barcelona's goal, he put a hand to his ear and ran towards the edge of the field near the stands.

The scene suddenly erupted with a deafening roar!

Manchester City fans shouted excitedly at the top of their lungs, giving all their compliments to their hero!

Sure enough, Lin never let them down in major competitions!

"See, this is the pride of our Manchester City, this is the real No. 10!"

In their excitement, Manchester City fans couldn't help but show off to the surrounding neutral fans and even Barcelona fans.

Looking at them like this, it seems they want to show off Lin Quan to the world, for fear that others don't know that Manchester City has such a great player like Lin Quan!

"Yes, yes, Lin Huang is really good. Manchester City really found a treasure!"

"Hey, when this guy was playing in the Bundesliga, I knew he was extraordinary. I just didn't know what the Bundesliga team was doing. Why didn't they keep him?"

"It is said that Bayern had been in contact with Lin Quan, but I don't know why. The two sides did not reach an agreement, and I don't know if Bayern regrets it now."

In a box somewhere in the stadium, Bayern chairman Rummenigge and manager Hoeness both looked ugly.

When it came to the decision between Gotze and Lin Quan, they chose Gotze because he was a local player.

Now it seems that this decision was extremely stupid.

Although Gotze's strength is not bad, buying him for 37 million euros is not a loss.

But compared to Lin Quan, whose net worth has risen to 250 million euros, Gotze is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

These two are not players of the same level at all.

There was once a peerless genius placed in front of them, but they did not cherish it.

There is nothing more painful than waiting until you have lost something to regret it.

If God can give them another chance, they will say three words to that player: Come to Bayern!

If they had to add a time limit to this contract, they hoped it would be... ten thousand years.

Even if I retire, you have to stay at Bayern and be my Bayern legend!

However, they no longer have such an opportunity.

On the sidelines of the court, when Guardiola saw Lin Quan's goal, he opened his arms in excitement, jumped up on the spot, and wildly waved his fists in celebration.

After completing this celebration, he stretched out his two hands, with an index finger on his left hand, and pinched the thumb and index finger of his right hand into a circle, forming a number '10' side by side.

After comparing this number, Guardiola raised his arms over and over again, signaling the audience to give Lin Quan, who scored the goal, more applause.

"Holy shit, Guardiola is actually asking for applause for Lin Lin. Am I right?"

"The last person to be treated like this was Messi, right?"

"Haha, King Lin's performance in this game is not inferior to Messi at his peak. What's more, he is Guardiola's adopted son. It's not surprising to do this after he died!"

"Damn, melon bald, please restrain yourself, your mouth is crooked in laughter!"

On the other side of the court, Messi felt a little bitter when he saw this scene.

In the past, Guardiola only did this to him. At that time, he was the only candidate in Guardiola's heart, but now...

This made him feel like someone he cared about very much suddenly fell in love with someone else.

On the Barcelona coaching bench, Enrique looked a little furious after seeing the goal.

There are big holes in the defense this time. Why didn't anyone stop De Bruyne?

As long as someone stops De Bruyne from sending such a fatal pass, the ball will not be lost.

Thinking of this, he called Rakitic over and gave him serious instructions, asking him to go back and deliver a message to cheer up the players.

From the time Barcelona scored first to now falling behind, they have been scored twice by their opponents.

If their offense can't improve, this game will be far away.

After being lectured by Enrique, the entire Barcelona team looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Taking a quick lead at the beginning made them underestimate Manchester City, thinking that Manchester City was nothing more than that.

Now they have paid the price for their contempt. Now Barcelona is behind. If they don't want the Triple Crown winner to say goodbye to them, they will have to fight for their lives in the next game.

Soon, after Manchester City finished celebrating, the game resumed.

Barcelona directly sounded the clarion call for counterattack and launched a more fierce attack on Manchester City.

In the 67th minute of the game, Rakitic did not hand the ball directly to Messi after dribbling the ball through halftime.

Instead, he personally dribbles the ball forward, attracts the opponent's defensive players to press forward, and then transfers the ball to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai broke forward and passed Kroos, forcing Kanter to return to defense.

Seeing Kanter rushing towards him, Iniesta did not dare to be careless. He was not sure of passing the opponent, so when Kanter was about to approach, he quickly passed the ball to Messi.

Although Kanter immediately abandoned Xiaobai and rushed towards Messi, it was already too late.

Messi got the ball and went straight in, and soon appeared in the middle.

At this time, both Suarez and Neymar are running.

Manchester City's defense was affected by these two men and could not allocate too many troops to defend Messi.

Van Dyke had to bite the bullet and step forward alone.

Last time, it was he who relied on retreating to suppress Messi's dribbling space, and then cooperated with Kanter to complete the interception.

This time, Van Dijk wants to do it again.

But how could Messi give him a chance?

Upon seeing Van Dijk's plan, Messi immediately accelerated and rushed forward. With two quick changes of direction, he passed Van Dijk, who had not fully grown up and had not accumulated enough experience.

Tall central defenders like Van Dijk have strong defensive abilities and a large defensive area when defending head-on.

But they generally have a shortcoming, that is, their turning speed is slow.

Neymar has been running and waiting for Messi's pass. Of course, Messi may also shoot himself, because Messi's people have lost their defensive position.

Messi broke into the penalty area and already had a chance to shoot.

After having a teammate like Messi, Kompany naturally knows how big a threat players like Messi are.

So, the moment Messi entered the penalty area, he abandoned Suarez and rushed towards Messi.

No matter what, Messi must be stopped from shooting.

As for Suarez, this can only be left to his teammates who are filling in.

Although he didn't have time to communicate with his teammates, the tacit understanding formed by playing together for a long time convinced Kompany that his full-back teammates would definitely help him fill his position.

Kolarov did come to fill in, but he didn't catch up in time.

As a top shooter, how could Suarez let go of such an opportunity?

The moment Suarez started, Messi passed the ball.

Suarez aimed at the goal, without adjusting, and volleyed directly.

Navas made a divine save to save Suarez's shot from close range.

However, before the Manchester City fans could breathe a sigh of relief, a short figure rushed over like a gust of wind and completed a supplementary shot before the defensive player could clear the bounced ball.

The Olympic Stadium was immersed in a brief performance, and in less than a second, thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the scene.

Countless Barcelona fans were in a state of excitement at this moment. Their hero finally stood up and scored this crucial goal for the team.

The score became a 2:2 tie, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

This goal allows people to see Messi's super personal strength and the deterrence created by the MSN trio's linkage.

The game time is less than 70 minutes, and both sides still have at least 20 minutes to use.

Whoever can score first in the last 20 minutes will have the last laugh.

Of course, if both sides fail to score again in the next game, the game will enter overtime.

At this point in the game, the two teams had nothing to hold back. They both showed their last cards and began to go all out.

Guardiola shouted loudly to the players on the sidelines to remind them to pay attention to their position and maintain their formation.

His transformation of the team has not been completely completed, and the players cannot perfectly execute his tactics.

Therefore, Guardiola has to remind his players in this way so that they can perform better in defense.

Enrique next door couldn't help but frown. He just felt that Guardiola's shouting frequency was too high.

What the hell is Guardiola doing?

Do you think that asking the players to change their positions can stop Barcelona's offense?

Enrique was quite disdainful. Even the Serie A team, which is famous for its chain defense, could not withstand Barcelona's powerful attack. Manchester City's defense was far inferior to that of the strong Serie A teams, so how could it be possible to stop it?

However, as the game progressed past 70 minutes, the physical energy consumption of the players on both sides increased greatly.

Enrique was shocked to find that Barcelona's offensive threat was declining rapidly.

Their players passed the ball back and forth in the opponent's half, but they were unable to form a threatening forward pass. Most of them were just cross passes and back passes.

On the other hand, Manchester City, although their ball possession rate is not high, the quality of their counterattacks is very high, and they can pose a threat to Barcelona's goal almost every time.

If it weren't for Ter Stegen's brave performance, saving Lin Quan and Aguero's shots one after another, Manchester City would have taken the lead again.

what happened?

Why is this happening?

Enrique is puzzled!
