Serie A has entered a 20-day winter break.

Basically, everyone is going to travel. It is estimated that only English players in the whole of Europe are still struggling to play, because there is no winter break there, and their games will be played until next summer.

Zheng Zhi did not go to play and did not return to China. To be honest, he never celebrates Christmas, nor does it only celebrate New Year's Day, and before the Lunar New Year arrives, he simply stays in Milan.

If you have nothing to do, you will come to the training ground to coach the players of the Chinese youth team.

What Zheng Zhi didn't expect was that he actually saw Messi on the training ground.

It stands to reason that Westerners will definitely spend Christmas, but Messi did not go home and chose to stay at the base to continue training, and the absence of Pique and Cesc Fabregas by his side naturally means that these two guys have returned to Spain, leaving Messi alone here.

At this time, Messi was standing alone outside the big penalty area, with nearly 20 balls around him, and only one goal was practiced with him. This kind of practice is boring, at least there has to be a goalkeeper, right?

He just wanted to walk over, but found that Messi's practice program was unusual.

"Huh?"

"Elevator?"

"Silly, huh?"

For Messi's move, Zheng Zhi felt incredible.

"Hey, little one, stop, stop." He still walked over and stopped Messi.

"Why do you want to practice elevator ball?" Zheng Zhi asked straight to the point.

"Because I wanted to learn it, I felt like I could do it too."

Elevator ball is Zheng Zhi's mastery, Messi doesn't mean that he wants to learn Zheng Zhi.

"There's no need, you should practice what you're best at first. Or, let's start with the simplest, you can kick the curveball. "Messi's curve ball is awesome, what elevator to kick? The elevator is Ronaldo's move.

Messi's mood of wanting to learn all eighteen martial arts well is understandable, but it must also be in line with reality. Football is almost impossible to be perfect, and although Messi has scored important headers in his career, such as in the 2009 Champions League final, he scored the goal of Manchester United with a header, but this is not a regular operation.

Could it be that Messi has to practice heading every day?

Unrealistic.

"Trust me, you're going to kick the inside of your foot harder." Zheng Zhi patted him on the shoulder.

Messi didn't speak, he really wanted to practice elevator ball, even that little Luo can, why not? However, what Zheng Zhi said seems to make sense, the curve ball is much simpler than the elevator ball, at least the foot feeling is very good, and when you kick it with your left foot, you feel very comfortable to control.

"Also, even if it's a set-piece, you can put it in and put other skills up first, such as shooting skills, dribbling skills, passing skills, after all, if you want to take a set-piece, it won't be your turn for the time being, right?" This is really the truth, no matter where Messi is, with their age and seniority, how can it be their turn to take a free kick? There is Xiao Luo in Barcelona, Zheng Zhi in Inter Milan, and even Xiao Xiao Luo.

"It's not too late to practice all those skills, and then practice free kicks."

"By the way, Cesc Fabregas and Pique are gone, right?" Zheng Zhi talked about two guys again.

Messi nodded, "Yes, they went back to Barcelona for Christmas, and it is estimated that they will not come back until two weeks." ”

"Then why don't you leave, don't you miss home?" Zheng Zhi looked at his immature face.

"Yes."

'But I want to go to the first team more, I don't want to be in the youth team, it doesn't make any sense. Messi's gaze sharpened and he gave the answer.

Zheng Zhi almost choked.

Sure enough, he is ambitious, he is not willing to mix in the youth team, and wants to be promoted to the first team as soon as possible. Messi's idea is terrible!

"You want to be in the first team after the winter break? But you've got to show real skills. In terms of your previous performance in the youth team, it is not bright enough, you have to be stronger, faster and more determined! Zheng Zhi decided to knock it first.

"In Italy, no one is going to give you the ball like that."

"If you're not careful, you might end up on a stretcher."

Messi scratched his head and was skeptical of Zheng Zhi's words, is Italian football so strong? In Spain, everyone says I can abuse the Spanish Primera defence!

Will it break its leg for Mao Italy? Aren't they all top leagues?

"Italy's defense is more complicated than Spain's, not because it's much stronger, it's because the style is different."

"You may not encounter a flying tackle in Spain, but it's a common occurrence in Italy."

"I'm not afraid, they can't shovel me." Messi stubbornly raised his small chin, very confident.

Zheng Zhi rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Are you sure?"

Although Zheng Zhi was wearing a coat, his legs took half a step to the sides.

"Why don't you try me with the ball? Let's see if I can shovel you. ”

Hearing Zheng Zhi say this, Messi's eyes almost fell out.

Zheng Zhi wants to fly to shovel himself?! Can you chop it yourself?!

He couldn't be sure, when he thought about this, he didn't think about a world-class player like Zheng Zhi, and the strongest midfielder he has encountered so far?

Messi thought and thought.

It seems to be, the central defender of the Chinese youth team? He couldn't remember the guy's name again, and he had fought a few times, but he had forgotten each time.

Now directly the whole Mr. Footballer and he practiced?

Well, in fact, that guy's name is Feng Xiaoting, the main central defender of the Chinese youth team......

"What, no faith?" Zheng Zhi suddenly asked.

"No,"

Messi suddenly raised his head.

'I just couldn't take it a little bit, and all of a sudden it's kind of like a dream to practice with the best players in the world.

"It's not a dream."

"Well, if you pick me up with the ball, when you can pass me a thousand times, I'll recommend you to the first team, no matter what way I stop you, including fouls, bad fouls, and if you get hurt, I'm not responsible. How? ”

Zheng Zhi suddenly put forward a new condition.

Messi's eyes lit up, and this time they really lit up.

Temptation! After passing Zheng Zhi a thousand times, he can be recommended to the first team? immediately calculated, if Zheng Zhi passes a hundred times a day, won't there be a thousand times in ten days? Three times in a minute...... Ahem!

It doesn't seem to be difficult?

But then his heart was tight, Zheng Zhi just said, but no matter what way to stop him from passing, what foul action is fine?

That's a piece of!

But if I don't go near him when I pass him, or even let him touch me?

The success rate is still not low, just like everyone else!

Messi's mind kept thinking......

Eventually, he accepted the challenge.

He wants to pass Zheng Zhi a thousand times, and he wants to rush to the first team as fast as possible!

……

Messi is too tender, he thinks that Zheng Zhi is really as simple as Feng Xiaoting, and he will really keep an eye on him.

When Messi rushed to Zheng Zhi with the ball for the first time, he had just started, and Zheng Zhi also moved, and he didn't give Messi time to make a move at all, so he directly raised his leg and kicked Messi's left calf.

Messi was immediately startled, where do you remember to do the action? Just dodged it, and didn't even want the ball.

Where did anyone grab the ball like that?

Zheng Zhi smiled, he likes to make Messi deflated, and now he can train him, and when he becomes more awesome, he will have no chance in the future.

"Look, just this action, you're scared, what do you use to get past me? Don't think that my action is exaggerated and no one uses it, but in fact, it will happen a lot in the future. I'll give you an analogy, if someone treats you like this when you make your debut, do you dare to play it later? If you can't play it, won't you admit it? ”

"Again."

"Coming back?" Messi was stunned.

"Yes, come again, be careful, I must still kick your calf, I don't know if it's the left leg or the right leg, I declare again, if you are injured, I am absolutely not responsible!" Zheng Zhi shrugged.

"I ......"

"I'm not mentally prepared yet, I'm a little scared." Messi explained honestly.

"Afraid?"

"You admit you're scared? So do you think you can't do it, or are you just scared? Do you really feel like you can't rush through? Zheng Zhi asked rhetorically.

Messi was silent for a while, "I'm psychologically afraid, I have at least half of the chance to rush over, but I don't know ...... other half"

"So, first forget the fear."

"It's not that you can't get past me, it's that you're scared first, in fact, what you have to do is that no matter how I act, you will have a chance to pass."

"And, maybe you'll react quickly when I'm on the move, too?"

"Try again? You are allowed to dash with the ball from 10 meters away. ”

This is simply to reduce the difficulty for Messi.

……

Outside the wall, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri and Huang Bowen were lying on the barbed wire to watch the duel between Zheng Zhi and Messi, watching Mexico be rejected by Zheng Zhi again and again, and they used various foul moves, none of which were regular defense.

Feng Xiaoting sighed again and again:

"If our brother Zhi is really ruthless, he will be a big villain. That little Messi was mistreated. ”

"He was originally a big villain, when he was in the Bundesliga, his notoriety ......spread far and wide," Zhao Xuri immediately answered.

"This ...... Also. ”

"He often hides the demonic side with the angelic side. That little Messi can't get by, if he really kicks like this, as soon as he comes to him, he will be fouled, no one can do it? Feng Xiaoting mourned for Messi.

I don't know when, Dong Fangzhuo also lay next to him and watched very seriously.

After watching it a few times, Dong Fangzhuo couldn't help but complain, and suddenly shouted at Messi in English:

"Hey, Leo,"

"Are you stupid?"

"Why do you have to rush at him with the ball? Can't you go to the left or to the right? It's okay to rush back! ”

"The stadium is so big, why do you have to just think about taking it with him?"

"He should have been there to steal your ball, not that you had to deliberately go to him. Pig! ”

A word woke up the dreamer, Zheng Zhi and Messi heard it clearly.

Grass!

Shut up!

Zheng Zhizhen wants to whip Dong Fangzhuo with a whip, just look at it, what are you talking nonsense?

Of course, this solution is feasible, but Messi didn't expect it?

Hey

Why did Dong Fangzhuo think of it? And didn't Messi think of it? It's not scientific, just Dong Fangzhuo's brain, didn't Ferguson say that the head is world-class?

This......

It seems that Dong Fangzhuo is not as stupid as he imagined. Zheng Zhi was suddenly a little impressed by Dong Fangzhuo.

Messi naturally came to his senses.

Next it was Zheng Zhi's turn to be in trouble......

Messi dribbles the ball in any direction and grabs the ball himself? I can't get it out of it! But there is also some truth, the defensive players are already very passive, Zheng Zhi admitted.

Strength is a guarantee.

Where is Messi going, and he is not going to come up in the end?

foul

Zheng Zhi only had these two words in his mind.

Even if it's just a 16-year-old flea......

So, although the rules have changed, Messi keeps falling on the turf.

once

twice

Three times

……

Zheng Zhi is very serious every time, just like he treats his opponents in the arena, and he is not merciless at all.

Messi doesn't even know how many times he fell.

But Messi was not discouraged, every time the ball seemed to stick to his feet, and then continued to dribble the ball and Zheng Zhi heads-up.

Finally, after more than 20 attempts, he rushed over! Although Zheng Zhi let go of the shovel, the shovel was empty. Before Messi approached him, he changed direction left and right 4 times in a row with small broken steps! This confused Zheng Zhi, and just like that, Zheng Zhi could still put the shovel in the end!

It's horrible!

Messi has palpitations, he has never met such a difficult guy.

But Zheng Zhi was also shocked in his heart.

He was not shocked that Messi rushed past him, but he was surprised that he was able to accurately shovel Messi when he changed direction for the fourth time! Although the interception failed, at least it shows that his defensive ability seems to have become stronger.

Why is the sixth sense so awesome?

If it were anyone else, Messi would have been able to rush through with one or two changes of direction, right? And how calm he is, unmoved by the change of direction in front of him......

If it weren't for the sudden interest in going head-to-head with Messi, I really didn't know that such a strange change had happened to me. Of course, calm is calm, and Messi finally rushed over.

This shows another thing, knowing is knowing, but it may not be possible.

This is similar to the legendary eye defense, I know you will do this, but you can't do it with your body movements, you can only defend with your eyes, what's the use of this?

"It's the first time." Messi reminded Zheng Zhi with a smile at this time. The first time is always impressive, no matter what the first time is.

"Hmm,"

"The first time, you succeeded." Zheng Zhi nodded, "But the next second time, you may have to take a long time, these 999 times are not easy. ”

"I just let you steal the chicken. Next time, you'll have to watch your legs again. ”

Messi is confident, and Zheng Zhi is also confident. Messi thought he had found a knock on the door, and Zheng Zhi thought he had made a new breakthrough.

"I'm coming."
