MetLife Stadium, New York, USA.
The final of the Centenary America's Cup is being staged.
There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed.
Argentina vs Chile.
The stands were full of slogans and banners cheering for Messi, but Argentina, which has the top striker in South America, was in deep trouble.
It was a draw after 90 minutes of regular time.
The game ended in a draw after 30 minutes of overtime.
The two sides entered a penalty shootout.
The atmosphere was so tense that the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene could not help but hold their breath.
"Messi stood in front of the penalty spot."
"Even for him, it's going to be a lot of pressure."
"I'm facing my Barcelona teammate, Bravo."
"Take a deep breath."
"The run-up distance is not that big."
"Hit the door!"
"Oops! The ball flew away!"
"Messi missed the penalty!"
The whole audience was amazed.
Messi lowered his head and silently walked back to the center circle.
The sadness in his heart cut off the hustle and bustle of the entire stadium.
Players from both sides scored penalty kicks one after another.
When the fifth Argentinian player approaches twelve yards.
Everyone's hearts tightened.
"Biglia from Lazio, his expression was twisted into a ball, and even his eyes were trembling."
"Argentina is standing on the edge of a cliff!"
"Wow!"
"Bravo saved the penalty!"
"This is too cruel for Argentina!"
"The game is over!"
“The winner of the 2016 Centenary America’s Cup is the Chilean team!”
"For two consecutive years in the Copa America finals, Argentina led by Messi fell in front of Bravo!"
"Bravo! A goalkeeper created an American myth. He is the nightmare of all South American shooters."
"If future generations want to break his record, they will have to wait another hundred years!"
"Argentina, please don't cry for me."
"Messi is alone and helpless at this moment, and fate is always playing tricks on him. The 2014 World Cup, the 2015 America's Cup, and the 2016 Centenary America's Cup are always just around the corner!"
"Messi has won everything at the club, but the championship trophy with the national team feels like the farthest distance in the world! It's like a mirage."
"Even the greatest superstars of this era will experience regrets."
"How we hope that we can witness him lifting the America's Cup and the World Cup in the near future."
"Losers will be forgotten, but Messi's Argentina will not be forgotten!"
Messi walked back to the bench silently.
Sitting in his seat, he was lost in thought.
Higuain put his hands on his hips and his eyes were red. He wasted many good opportunities created by Messi.
Why does this Serie A Golden Boot always miss and must score in the World Cup finals and Copa America finals?
The defense was as thin as an icicle, and without Mascherano's desperate defense, the Chileans would have ended the game within 90 minutes.
The Chilean team is having a blast.
Bravo was held aloft by his teammates, coaching staff, staff, and fans who stormed the field.
At this moment, he is a hero in the eyes of Chileans.
As a main member of the Mei Chui Group, he wanted to comfort Messi.
The two had a very good relationship privately in Barcelona, but they couldn't get away from each other for a while.
During this historical period, the commercial influence and attention of the America's Cup has long been far inferior to that of the European Cup.
But Messi's influence spreads all over the world.
Media around the world are feeling sorry for Messi and Argentina.
A piece of transfer news quietly appeared on the secondary pages of major sports media: "Manchester City officially announced that Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo has joined. 》
Ittihad.
Guardiola was being interviewed publicly and said:
"Jo Hart is a legend at the Etihad and he understands the decisions I make and my thoughts on the goalkeeping position."
"It's really not easy for Bravo to make the decision to leave a club like Barcelona."
"Messi will always be the best player in my mind, whether he wins the national team championship or not."
I dare not praise Bravo too much.
Joe Hart’s thoughts are not important, but other meritorious veterans of Manchester City must be taken into consideration
Blue Moon's reconstruction work cannot be completed in a summer window. No matter how rich you are, you still have to find the right players.
Several players in Manchester City's original lineup already feel that they may be purged in the near future.
But the new coaching team needs their support to help the team transition for half a season or a season.
chaos.
What a mess.
Premier League stars have pointed out that Guardiola will achieve nothing in his first season in charge of Manchester City.
Camp Nou, small auditorium.
Enrique and Robert are being interviewed by major media.
"Mr. Enrique, why did you choose to let go of the American goalkeeper Bravo and keep Ter Stegen?"
"The performance of Barcelona players in this European Cup is very average. Del Bosque has given them a chance to play since the beginning of the group stage."
"According to relevant sources, Manchester City only spent 18 million euros to acquire Bravo, and it was paid in installments."
The Barcelona coach's face darkened.
His expression said: I don’t want to explain that much to you onlookers.
After adjusting his mood a little, he said slowly:
"The national team and the club are two levels of competition."
"It is a pity that Ter Stegen did not help the German team reach the semi-finals of the European Cup."
"The performance of Barcelona players in the European Cup was not good enough? This proves nothing. There are too many factors that affect it."
"We will make big signings in this summer window and Barcelona is building a unique future!"
"Next season in the Champions League, we will witness the greatness of Barcelona."
Barcelona, white towers.
The building's facade was graffitied with expletives.
"Cruyff, you are Barcelona's cancer cell!" 》
Two painters were busy, complaining through their masks.
"Mr. Cruyff finally came back to Barcelona, and those hateful extreme fans graffitied here again!"
"You didn't ask for it. Barcelona don't need a godfather now!"
"Eight years ago, he stopped Mourinho from coaching Barcelona on the board of directors, and then recommended his disciple Guardiola. The extreme fans almost set fire to the tower!"
"This is the right choice. Guardiola created the top three and achieved six crowns for Barcelona!"
"Cruyff now wants Barcelona to use all 200 million euros in transfer funds to bid for Leverkusen's talented midfielder."
"Crazy, sell it for one million euros. Buy it back for 200 million euros? Will Leverkusen agree to pay in installments?"
"Whether Li is the crown prince of La Masia or not, if Barcelona executives agree, wouldn't they be slapping themselves in the face?"
"So it is impossible for him to return to Barcelona in this life."
"The most ironic joke in football history."
"Leverkusen is really cunning. Lee has not signed an endorsement contract with Nike or Adidas for the time being. No club can buy him out this summer by paying sponsorship fees in advance. The battle for Lee's transfer is all about It’s real gold and silver.”
On the treetops, two blue magpies shook their branches happily.
A green leaf slowly fell on the white leather shoes.
Nature often allows phenomena that violate natural laws to occur.
Cruyff looked at the vicious curse slogan on the outer wall and listened to the criticism of the current situation by two ordinary fans, and couldn't help but smile.
He received repeated death threats from Catalan extreme fans many years ago and did not care about it.
It's just that the crown prince of La Masia may never return to Camp Nou.
Bernabeu.
Real Madrid Club President Florentino Perez attended the press conference of the summer transfer window.
"Judging from Real Madrid's current lineup, it is difficult to complete reinforcements through signings."
"Before August 31, anything can happen."
"We have several players in our club who have reached the semi-finals of the European Cup and I am very proud of them."
"Lee fits the temperament of Real Madrid very well."
Lifting the frames of his glasses, Florentino didn't show much emotion on his face.
I can't express the pain in my heart.
Different from the previous "one superstar per year" signing strategy, due to the interference of many special factors, Real Madrid has readjusted the direction of signings in the past two years: tapping little monsters.
But now Xiaoyao is also expensive.
For example, the Brazilian 16-year-old genius Vinicius, the Flamengo club made a staggering offer.
As for 18-year-old Li.
Damn, this feels like missing Kaka in 2002 and Ronaldinho in 2003!
"Real Madrid doesn't need a player like Kaká for the time being because it's hard for him to bring anything to us."
"We are well aware of Ronaldinho's level, but he is too ugly and will reduce the value of Real Madrid's brand."
The half-truth and half-false quotations of Florentino are still the content of fans’ teasing after all these years.
Île de Ré, France, coast.
Spanish generals played beach volleyball.
This is a training method that Del Bosque learned from the Bayern coaching staff, which is very helpful for players to relax before a big game.
Li Kang and his teammates had a great time.
He partnered with De Gea and relied on the bouncing gain brought by the "Sky Sound" module to kill all other teammate combinations.
I even discovered that the "Environmental Adaptation" module allows me to easily adapt to the sandy environment!
Historically, football matches in mud and sand were not uncommon.
In the pine forest.
right.
The pine forests and beaches of Thunder Island connect to form an "alternative" beautiful scenery.
Two French reporters were filming furtively.
"Oh my god, that guy from Spain is a monster, his jumping ability on the beach is so terrifying!"
"His muscle lines are so shocking! They are definitely not the kind that can be developed through ordinary methods!"
"This is not worthy of praise. No matter how strong your physical fitness is, you can't break through our French team's midfield!"
"Damn it, doesn't this kid have any quirks? These photos can't be sold for much at all!"
the other side.
Del Bosque, who is still strong and strong, is shirtless and wearing fancy red pants, playing back and forth with the coaching staff.
Mignano worried: "Boss, what should I do if they subconsciously touch the ball with their hands on the green field after playing volleyball all afternoon?"
The Spanish coach laughed and said: "Who could be that stupid?"
After a while.
Li Kang took the dry towel from Isco and sat on the sail chair to rest.
"Li, let me help you apply sunscreen! This one."
Morata immediately interrupted: "Get lost, there are paparazzi reporters over there in the pine forest!"
As he spoke, he quickly handed Li Kang a bottle of water.
Diego Costa plucked Isco's leg hair hard: "It's okay, I don't mind, you can help me put on sunscreen!"
Kirk felt a chill and couldn't help but take a few steps back, away from the group of monsters.
Saul couldn't help but stepped forward and joined the sunscreen army.
Li Kang rejected the kindness of his teammates.
During this beach volleyball training, the coaching staff specifically relaxed the rules on carrying mobile phones.
He unlocked the screen and continued to watch the French team's game video during the break.
Still can't see the uniqueness of Deschamps' tactical system.
There are many problems with the defense cooperation on the back line.
The abilities displayed by French goalkeeper Lloris are still far behind those of Cech and Buffon.
Will the semifinals really be that simple?
Iniesta held a small tactical board and was worried: "The French team's midfield is very thick. If the starting double midfielder combination is Kante and Matuidi, it will be very difficult for us to advance the formation."
Matuidi: The main midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain, the 2015 French Footballer of the Year, and the top scorer of the French national team in the past three years.
Kante: The creator of Leicester City's myth, he leads the five major leagues in steals per game.
Busquets added: "Including Pogba and Sissoko, this French team is still very young and a strong contender for the International Cup in the next few years. Their midfield is too hard, including His speed and foot skills are not bad either, my advice is.”
David Silva waved his hand and interrupted the exchange between the two: "You two may not be able to play."
"Don't think too much, this game will be much easier than against Germany, just play around Lee."
Cazorla raised his hand to cover the sun, squinted his eyes and said: "One thing to note is that the French team is very harassing. We must try our best to help Li reduce the pressure on the ball."
Several midfield magicians tore off a piece of canvas and started a lively tactical discussion.
The head coaches of both sides didn't have time to speak before the game.
Sports media in both countries are already gearing up.
A war without gunpowder is about to begin!
That night.
French media took the lead.
"The Iberian monster landed on the beach of Thunder Island!" 》
Several mosaic photos dominate the front page, and the text is highly visually impactful.
There are also several "intimate" photos of Isco and Diego Costa, which have been described as bizarre.
The Spanish media suddenly lost interest in fighting back.
Even Marca was silent.
The fans were crazy about it.
