Chapter 204: A Call from Germany
"Fan is injured?"
"Season reimbursement?"
The outside world has made such a big commotion, and Messi, who is far away in Spain, naturally saw the latest news through the Internet and TV.
It's just that after seeing the online video, after Fan Bizhuang took the initiative to make a substitution gesture in the game, his face didn't look so good.
Although he has never worked with Fan Bizhuang, he knows very well what kind of character Fan Bizhuang is. Isn't there a saying that the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your enemy?
and Fan Bizhuang have competed with each other in La Liga for so long, Messi naturally knows that Fan Bizhuang is a stubborn guy, he has always persevered in the game, and he will not stop running until the last minute, as for taking the initiative to ask to be replaced, it is something that has never happened.
In the news, it is reported in a tone of speculation and doubt, but Messi can almost judge at a glance that Fan Bizhuang is really injured, and it is the kind of injury that cannot continue to hold on at all!
It stands to reason that Messi is not happy, at least he is relaxed, after all, with the strong strength shown by Manchester United this season, it is appropriate to enter the Champions League final, and after Barcelona enters the final, he will naturally face Manchester United. Now that Manchester United's absolute core is likely to be reimbursed for the season due to injury, Barcelona has one less rival, and it is naturally much less difficult to win the championship.
But Messi just can't take it easy.
He is extremely looking forward to beating Van Bizhuang in the final, proving that he is the best one in the world, and proving that Barcelona's choice was not wrong - now Van Bizhuang is unstoppable in European football, many Barcelona fans and even some Barcelona players unconsciously compare Van Bizhuang and Messi, and some people even think that if the team left Van Bizhuang instead of Messi, maybe the team will become stronger and more dominant.
On the surface, Messi has an unreasonable attitude towards such "gossip", but only he knows that he still cares. No one wants to be compared, and no one will admit that he is inferior to others, Messi is proud, so he is desperate to defeat Fan Bizhuang in a head-to-head confrontation and shatter all rumors.
But now......
Even if Manchester United successfully advanced to the final, even if Barcelona also advanced to the final and beat Manchester United to win the title, but beating a Manchester United without Van Bizhuang is a real success?
A few years ago, Messi missed the opportunity to go head-to-head with Van Bizhuang in the Champions League final, and now, is it a pity to miss it again?
"Alas!"
Messi didn't know what his mood was, and in the end he could only turn into a long sigh.
……
C. Luo sat in the living room of his mansion, his expression was a little solemn and hesitant, he held the phone in his hand, pressed it twice, thought about it, put the phone down again, and then picked it up again, and so on.
"This guy was actually injured at this juncture, this is really ...... Could it be that I was afraid that I would be defeated in the finals, so I would just blow up and avoid the fight? …… Well, probably not, that guy hasn't been so shameless yet......"
C. Luo talked to himself for a while, and finally, he picked up the phone again, edited a text message, and sent it over.
"You kid didn't hang up, did you? If you choose to avoid the fight just because you are worried about being defeated by me in the final, then I really want to laugh at you! ”
It didn't take long for the phone to vibrate slightly, and it was a prompt tone for receiving a text message.
C. Luo hurriedly picked up the phone, just looked at it, and grinned.
"Wash your ass and wait, in the finals, watch me kick you to death!"
C. Luo immediately relieved his mind, it seems that Fan Bizhuang's injury is not serious, but ...... How dare you speak to me like that? Still told me to wash my ass and wait? MD, I'm Cristiano. Ronaldo, the only Ronaldo in the world, I don't want to lose face!
"I'll wait for the finals to clean you up, and you'll see!"
C. Rowe hummed and sent out a new edited message, humming a small tune in a relaxed and happy mood.
……
The outside world was in an uproar because of the news of Fan Bizhuang's sudden injury, and Fan Bizhuang, who was recuperating at home, was not idle, Molina and Felisa received the news as soon as possible, although Fan Bizhuang said that he was fine, but the two of them rushed to Manchester City in a hurry the next day, to see the posture of the two, for the next period of time, the two of them will not leave, and they must take good care of him at home.
Not only that, but in the past few days, Fan Bizhuang's phone calls have not stopped to rest, Villarreal's teammates, Real Madrid's teammates, some old friends, Mr. Pueta, Tongs Bar guys, Enrique and Vilanova, Villarreal and Real Madrid's former teammates...... Even Fan Lao and Lin Lao in China are three calls a day, and they can't be in a hurry, if it weren't for Fan Bizhuang's repeated assurance that he was only a small injury, maybe Mrs. Lin would be ready to leave for the UK immediately.
After breakfast, Fan Bizhuang sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, now that he is injured, he is naturally unable to train with the team during this time, and Ferguson has also granted him a special holiday to recuperate at home.
After coming to the UK, he has always been fighting with the team, and it is rare to have such leisure time, letting the warm sun shine on his body, Fan Bizhuang squinted his eyes a little comfortably.
Molina went to the city center to buy some things, Felisa was busy in the kitchen, chasing butterflies and unknown insects in the yard during the Spring Festival, which reminded Fan Bizhuang of his time in the small town.
The mobile phone that was put aside vibrated slightly at this time, making a "buzz~" sound, Fan Bizhuang opened his eyes and picked up the phone, just looking at it, his face was a little surprised.
Immediately smiled, Fan Bizhuang pressed the connect button.
"Captain, you shouldn't be here to spy on the military, are you?"
Fan Bizhuang's tone is relaxed, and there are only two people who can be called captain by him, one is the old captain of Villarreal, Jose. Josico, one is the former captain of Real Madrid, Raul. Gonzalez.
For the former, Fan Bizhuang is full of respect in his heart, maybe Hosico is not a well-known star, and he has not achieved any brilliant achievements in his playing career, but from him, Fan Bizhuang has learned a lot, loyalty, persistence, and never give up...... He is a role model for all the players in the town, and Van Bizhuang is no exception.
And Raul, he is also synonymous with "loyalty", Real Madrid is a huge and glorious stage, there are countless superstars who come and go, but only Raul has always stuck to the Bernabeu and always dedicated everything he can to the club. Raul has never been the biggest star at the Bernabeu, but he is definitely the most sought after and admired presence at the Bernabeu.
"Raul, Madrid!" It's not just a joke, it's a symbol, a tribute to the greatest flag and captain in the club's history.
And the owner of the call at this time is Raul. Gonzalez.
Fan Bizhuang was somewhat surprised, but it is reasonable to think about it, he and Raul have always had a good relationship, although he left Madrid, Raul also chose to leave Germany because the team no longer needed him, but the contact between the two has not been broken.
Coincidentally, Raul is a member of Schalke 04, which means that Manchester United's Champions League semi-final opponent is Shakhtar Germany.
From a teammate to an opponent, this is somewhat dramatic, but what is even more dramatic is that I thought I was going to meet again, but I didn't expect that Fan Bizhuang was suddenly injured at this time.
Raul's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was also relaxed: "When I saw the news of your injury in the newspaper, I was a little worried, but now that I hear your voice, I feel that I am worried in vain." Looks like you're in a pretty good mood, how about it, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? ”
"It's not too serious, but I guess I won't be able to catch up with the first round, and as for whether I can catch up with the second round, it depends on the recovery." Fan Bizhuang responded with a smile and said, "Isn't there a feeling of relief, you don't have to face my pressure, isn't it much easier, captain?" ”
"You guy!"
Raul on the other side scolded with a smile, "But it's really a pity, but it's okay, it's good news for us...... But it doesn't matter, whether you play or not, the result is the same, and our goal is to go straight to the final! ”
"Hey, Captain, I've noticed that you've been getting louder and louder since you left Madrid. And also contracted the problem of bragging. ”
Raul continued to smile and said: "It's really like this, it's better to blow it than not to blow it, if you don't have confidence in yourself, then what's the point of playing?" Anyway, we've been in great shape this season, but we're going to have to do a good job. Just look at it, don't wait to be eliminated by us and hide at home and cry. ”
"......" Fan Bizhuang rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Captain, you are really full of confidence!" ”
"Of course!"
The two of them chatted lightly on the phone for about ten minutes before closing the line.
Fan Bizhuang shook his head, and he could tell from the phone that Raul was having a good time in Germany now, which made him happy for the old captain.
But at the same time, a trace of vigilance also rose in his heart, in terms of strength comparison, Schalke 04 is far from Manchester United, even if Fan Bizhuang can't play, Schalke 04 is far behind.
But things on the football field can't be divided so simply by the comparison of strength on paper, just like in the quarterfinals, facing last season's treble winner Inter Milan, who would have thought that Schalke 04 could finally advance to the semifinals?
But as a result, the German Shakhtar beat the defending champion with an embarrassing 7:3 in two rounds!
From this point of view, at least the current Schalke 04 definitely has the ability to disrupt the situation.
"You have to be cautious, there is no simple one who can advance to the semifinals!"
Fan Bizhuang sighed like this, but he didn't think about it anymore, he could think of these things, and Ferguson could naturally think of it, it wasn't him who should have a headache, and the troublesome things should be left to the old man!
Fan Bizhuang closed his eyes and continued to sleep in the sun.
