Chapter 993: Messi is Finished!
Southampton is a very special club!
This sentence, before coming to the Saints, Messi had heard many people say it, including many even exaggerated rumors. ┞┡┟To see┠Book╬┟┣╣╠.'1、k^a=n、s·h-u.
This has left Southampton, a new rising team, always shrouded in mystery in European football.
When he came to Southampton from Barcelona, Messi was fresh to everything about the Saints, because almost everything here is completely different from Barcelona, and everything is very professional.
Is professionalism a good thing?
That's for sure.
But sometimes, the profession is very boring.
For example, Messi couldn't figure out why he still couldn't play.
He felt that his physical condition was better than ever, he felt as if he had a desperate force in his body, he adjusted his state to the best again and again, but he had to watch it slide again and again.
Yes, for a professional footballer, knowing and adjusting one's own state is simply like a woman knowing her own aunt.
But even so, he still failed to play for the team.
He craves and needs the excitement of the game.
He felt as if he were a tiger in a cage, longing for freedom.
He approached coach Carlo Ancelotti, who couldn't do anything about the decision of the medical department, so the two went to the medical department at the same time, and the group of experts explained a lot to them, even to an injury in 2013. Want to read a book? · 1╬k╋a╬n╋shu·c·c
I heard that in order to get his injury data in Barcelona and the game data in the national team, they traveled back and forth between Barcelona and Argentina more than a dozen times, which can be said to be careless.
But in the end, they came to the conclusion that according to Messi's time at Barcelona, his peak condition can only be maintained until he is twenty-seven years old at most, which means that if Messi stays at Barcelona, he should start to decline by now.
But when he came to the Saints and underwent their rehab training, Messi was able to maintain his condition until he was 30 years old.
However, the goal is to keep Messi at the peak of his career longer than other professional players, at least 32 years old, until his contract expires.
Isn't it? Sounds like those street sellers of dog skin plasters!
Messi believed it at first, because he did feel that his degree and fitness had slipped a lot since an injury in 2013, especially in the summer World Cup and Copa America, when he felt that his body was approaching its limit, and even in the middle of a game, he felt like he couldn't walk.
This frightened him, so he trusted the judgment of the Saints' Medical Department.
But now, two or three months have passed, and the time has entered October, and he feels that his condition has recovered, his body has fully recovered, and everything is fine.
He was hungry to compete, but they wouldn't let him compete!
He was tired of those reasons, those excuses, and he felt that there was nothing more exciting to his body than a game.
Especially when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Suarez staging a goal battle back and forth on the scorer list, especially when he heard the news that the British media tabloids outside were hyping up that Southampton didn't need Messi and the like, he was eager to play, prove himself, and tell everyone that Messi is still Messi!
But now, he can't do anything about it, he can only drain his energy and state in this mechanical training room again and again. ╣╋╋╠ to╋╣ look╬┟書.· 1^k`a-n/s^hu.
Each time, he tossed himself to the point of sweating profusely before he stopped.
He has to admit that the Saints' training room is indeed very targeted and very helpful to the players, but for players of his level, once they adapt to the intensity of the training room, training, even if it is the highest intensity, is the same as playing.
At present, the player with the best results in the Southampton practice room is Messi!
Or even the second best, the third best...... Well, the third best is not, it's Eden Hazard, that guy doesn't know when he burst into form, played a very peak stat and got third.
When Messi was sweating profusely, panting and wiping his body, and walked out of the practice room, there was still movement in the goalkeeper's room next door.
Southampton's players are very keen on these high-tech training aids, which is why many of the players who have left from the Saints are uncomfortable, they are used to all this with the Saints.
When he passed by, he sneaked a glance at it, and now Neuer was practicing inside.
This guy is also a maniac who has been practicing every day since the completion of the training room dedicated to goalkeepers.
The goalkeeper's practice room is different from the other rooms.
Of course, if you think about it, how can the goalkeeper's special training be the same as in other rooms?
Looking through the window of the door, Neuer is now in the training room, the ball machine shoots the ball at different angles and directions according to different intervals, and even pops up obstacles anytime and anywhere to change the direction of the ball, simulating the refraction on the football field, or the rebound on the ground. ╋╬ to ┞ read ╣ book ╠ ┡ ╬ ┞
Neuer is like an eight-armed ape in front of the goal, blocking high and receiving low, and almost every goalkeeping action stretches his body to the limit and uses it to the extreme.
Many people are amazed at the strength of Neuer on the court, but if they see Neuer training on the training ground, in the training room, they will be surprised to see that Neuer on the field is really nothing.
That's why everybody says that players don't show as much quality on the pitch as they do on the training pitch.
After a set of training was completed, Neuer was already sweating profusely, and when he got up to get a towel, he happened to see Messi outside the door, so he came over to open the door.
"Hello, Leo."
"Hi, Manuel."
"Don't you use it?" Neuer pointed to the practice room next door.
"Oh no, you can use it, I'm sorry."
Everyone knows that this guy is not just a goalkeeper, he is also very keen to train his foot work and passing skills, and this is inseparable from his role in the Saints' tactical system.
He is not only the last line of defense in front of goal, but also the first point of attack for the team.
Maybe it's because as a goalkeeper, his observation ability is always better than others, or maybe Neuer, as the captain of the team, is used to observing his teammates, and he sees that Messi is a little unhappy and lacking in interest.
"Leo, I know that in recent times you haven't played and you might be a little uncomfortable. ⊥≦≠≧?≦≦⊥≡∈∈⊥·1╋k╳a╳n╬s╬h┼u╬·c┼·c”
Neuer is big, standing in front of Messi, who seems to have turned into a child.
"But you should believe that you are the most decisive player in our team, none of us will deny that, and believe me, your game will come soon."
Messi listened and smiled helplessly, "I believe, so, I'm still waiting, aren't I?" ”
Neuer, however, could hear his impatience in his expression and tone.
Yes, any player who has been lacking in games for a long time will be impatient.
Professional players are born for the game, and without the game, no matter how talented the player is, it is all waste.
"Okay, Leo, I'll go back and help you get some news."
"Thank you, Manuel!"
Messi's time at Southampton is not too short, and he knows that Manuel Neuer is a very righteous player and the captain of the team, and everyone in the team is convinced of him, not only because of his performance on the pitch and on the training ground, but also because of his righteousness.
Seeing Messi leave, Neuer sighed softly, he couldn't understand how the people in the medical department did it, and they didn't let Messi play, which was too unusual.
After thinking about it, Neuer simply didn't even go to the training room, turned around and walked back to the goalkeeper's room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and walked straight towards the research and analysis center.
As a veteran of the Saints' service for many years, Neuer was there before the medical center was established, so he knew exactly who he should go to.
He entered the analysis center and wanted to go to the second floor to find Marcus du Satoy, but he didn't expect to use it, because he saw this old man in a white coat in the sports laboratory on the first floor.
Oh yes, and other experts like Howard Hamilton are also there, including sports psychology expert Dan Abraham, and sleep expert Lither Hasler.
And when Neuer got closer, it was not only them, but also the head coach Ancelotti and the club's owner, Young Master Huan, were all there, they seemed to be in a meeting.
"Hey, Manuel."
The people inside showed their eyebrows...... Oh, well, he's actually quite thick-eyed, but at this time he feels like a thief, so it's a bit obscene.
"Oh, hey, I'm here for something." Neuer was a little embarrassed.
"We're just looking for you, come in!" Yang Huan beckoned.
"Master Huan, Carol, Marcus, and...... Good afternoon, everyone! Neuer embarrassedly pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he realized that the atmosphere inside was not very right.
How so?
It's just that the expressions on everyone's faces are serious, and only he can make jokes.
What's going on?
Neuer looked around strangely, but no one seemed to pay attention to him.
This made the German door god wonder, what is the situation? How does it feel like the sky is falling?
Could it be that the team is going bankrupt? Young Master Huan wants to disband the research center?
But when he thought about it with his ******, he knew that it was impossible, how could Young Master Huan have no money?
Besides, with the current level of the research center, even if there is a real lack of money, just sell a few sets of equipment and sell a few sets of software systems, and the European clubs will not all have to go crazy?
But if not, then why does everyone look like they're going to be fired?
Neuer was whimsical on his side, but a medical specialist in a white lab coat spoke up.
"I want to say that Messi's physical danger is more serious than we thought at the beginning."
The white coat frowned, an expression of remorse and indignation.
"According to the information we have learned, as early as the World Cup in South Africa, Maradona used Messi without restraint despite Messi's tiredness, and the latter, after winning the club honor, was also eager to win the World Cup for Argentina, and did his best in every game, resulting in overwork."
"In fact, Barcelona received a warning after the World Cup, and Messi was sidelined for 15 days on July 19, 2010, when he sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right ankle against Atletico Madrid."
"At that time, Guardiola had already received a warning about the use of Messi, a maximum of 70 minutes a game, but with Guardiola's dismissal, everything was overturned, coupled with the decline of the Barcelona dynasty, Messi was needed to support the whole team alone."
"In the past few years, Messi has played almost every game except for injuries, and most of the games have been played full, and in April 2013, against Paris Saint-Germain, Messi suffered a muscle strain in his right thigh and was out for ten days, at this moment, Messi's physical problems were exposed."
"After that, on September 28, 2013, against Almeria, he suffered a biceps strain in his right thigh and was sidelined for 14 days, and on November 10, against Betis, he suffered a torn biceps in his left thigh and missed 59 days."
"When we were doing a detailed examination of Messi, we were now at the limit of what his body could bear, not just with his right foot, but also with his left foot."
This white coat said this
