"Welcome to Stamford Bridge!"

"What we're about to broadcast live for you is that in the eighth round of the English League from 2015 to 2016, Chelsea hosts Southampton, and sitting next to me is Manchester United legend, Gary Neville!"

"Hello, Gary!"

"Hello!" Gary Neville's voice came. ┞.〈。 c＜om

"We saw the Saints' warm-up just now, and we were surprised with all the fans at the scene, Messi actually appeared in the squad, this is the first time he has entered the squad this season, Gary, what do you think?"

Neven Hao, uh, Gary Neville, who was so well written because of the op-ed, smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it personally, because we've seen that Cristiano Ronaldo has shown quite good form and quality since joining Tottenham Hotspur, and he has once again proven himself to be a world superstar."

"Well, as a former teammate, Gary, do you think Cristiano Ronaldo is still in his prime at the moment?"

Gary Neville nodded, "Without a doubt, I'm pretty sure." ”

'From the time he came to Manchester United, I thought this young man was different, he worked harder in training than anyone else, and I wasn't surprised that he was able to achieve what he is today.

After a pause, Gary Neville continued: "Messi, who played 6 at the same time as Cristiano Ronaldo and was popular with fans all over the world, has not been able to play since joining the Saints, which also makes the outside world full of doubts. ”

"Yes, some people say that Messi is injured, but some people say that Messi has problems in the transfer process and has been banned by the Saints, and some people say that because the team is in too good shape, Messi has no place."

Gary Neville smiled when he heard this, "It's obviously impossible. ”

"And what do you think?"

"You know, I went to visit the Saints not long ago, and I said in my column, I said that the era of the monopoly of the head coach in England is coming to an end, and it will become more important to follow the technical director of the European big six management system, or the director of football, and so we see that Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City are all using this management model."

"Hmm."

'When I was visiting the Saints, I had the pleasure of meeting England youth specialist, Les Reid, who is now Southampton's technical director, who is in charge of the first team and the academy, and I learned a lot about what the technical director does and what happens within the club, before I wrote that column. ═┡╞┝╪╪┠┢┠┠。 ”

"Yes, I've read it, and it's very well written, but I've heard that Ferguson wasn't happy when he heard it."

"Hehe, he didn't call me!" Gary Neville chuckled.

"I don't know if you remember, I once mentioned that the internal management system of the Saints is the most standardized and modern team in the English team that I have seen, and even, Rice told me, they will fully implement paperless office in the next year."

"Okay, does this have anything to do with Messi?"

'I mean, they're very modern and they're quite efficient, and as far as I know, Messi's problem is that he's stuck in the medical department, and he's not getting permission from the medical department, whereas in Southampton, unless there are special circumstances, no player can play without the medical department's permission.

"Gary, you mean, the Saints spent 150 million euros to bring in Messi, but failed to convince the medical department to let Messi play?"

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? But as far as I know, it does! ”

"If I were Yang Huan, the owner of Southampton, I would probably let everyone in the medical department get out!"

Gary Neville burst out laughing, "But I heard that Yang Huan is planning to give them a raise!" ”

"I'll rub it, won't I?"

But after a joke, the TV commentator asked again: "Then according to what you say, Messi should have gotten a license to play now, I wonder if he will be in this game?" ”

"I don't know very well, if you play it safe, I think you should come off the bench in the second half, after all, Messi hasn't played for three months and he needs a little bit of time to get used to it."

"Well, that's what I think too!"

But soon, he exclaimed, "Oh, Gary, I have to say, you guessed wrong!" ”

"Did I guess wrong?"

"Yes, I've got the roster for both teams now!"

The on-site commentator looked a little excited, "Friends from the audience, I have already arrived at the list, the list of Southampton. (。 ”

But this guy laughed evilly at this time, "I think the director should cut an ad at this time." ”

However, if it were to advertise at this time, Sky TV would probably be sprayed to death by the saliva of the fans and viewers.

'Southampton's line-up, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, David Alaba on the left side of the backline.

'Yes, Alaba is a very good left-back, and Luke Shaw, a homegrown youngster with a lot of potential, and the two are now competing on the left and the Saints are basically making sure they have two players in every position.

'The centre-backs were Nastasic and Raphael Varane, and John Stones, who shone in the last game, came off the bench in this game.

'Danilo at right-back and Chambers on the bench.

'In midfield, Toni Kroos, Angel Di Maria and Cesc Fabregas, the Saints are the main players to play.

"The front trident, Eden Hazard on the left, Suarez in the middle, Messi on the right."

"Yes, you heard it right, Messi is here!"

After the TV commentator just finished introducing the lineup of the Saints, he saw the players of the two teams walking out of the stadium under the leadership of the referee in the thunderous cheers of the fans at the scene.

Messi's name was chanted at the scene, obviously welcoming the superstar's Yingxiu.

"The man in charge of officiating the match was the 47-year-old English referee, Michael Thine, who is a very experienced referee."

'Also, we saw that this is the manager of both teams, Portuguese Jose Mourinho, and Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who used to be the head coach of Chelsea but was sacked because of poor results.

'The situation of the two great managers this season is very different, with Carlo Ancelotti taking over from Bielsa and the Saints winning the Champions League and the English League, but Jose Mourinho's side have not been able to reverse last season's decline.

"Before the game, the two coaches said that this game is determined to win, and we will see if the two teams can achieve their wishes."

The players of the two teams quickly stood in front of the rostrum, and Messi stood at the end of the line, his expression looked relaxed, talking and laughing with Hazard in front of him, and he didn't look nervous at all.

This also makes the rumors that Messi wants to leave the Saints are self-defeating, because looking at Messi's appearance, he definitely doesn't look like a person who is leaving the team.

After a brief opening ceremony, the Chelsea players walked over one by one, first past the referee and then past Southampton.

Chelsea are no longer the powerhouse Blues they once were.

But the Saints are even more terrible than any team in England in the past few years!

After a handshake of politeness, both teams returned to half-time.

After guessing, Southampton won the ball first.

Messi and Suarez stood in the middle circle of the stadium, crossed over their waists, listening to the tsunami coming from the stands of the stadium, the feeling was familiar, fascinating and intoxicating.

He exhaled heavily and opened his eyes.

Suarez on the other side was grinning at him, "Nervous? The Uruguayan asked.

Messi smiled slightly and shook his head, "No, it's expectation!" ”

"So do we!" Suarez said.

To be able to compete with a star of Messi's caliber is an honor for any player.

Even at the level of Suarez and Eden Hazard, partnering with Messi and becoming teammates is a wonderful thing.

"Don't think too much about it, you're OK, and besides, we're here!"

Messi nodded in gratitude to his teammates, knowing that his teammates were very good.

That's why he was able to take Southampton so quickly, because the atmosphere inside this team is really good, from top to bottom, it's pretty good.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Messi kicked the ball to Suarez and officially started his first touch of the ball in the English League.

As soon as the ball was passed, Messi ran forward, and Suarez understood it and immediately passed the ball forward.

Messi looked at the Chelsea defenders in front of him and glanced back at the ball, knowing everything around him and it was a wonderful feeling.

The ball came to him as he expected, grabbed Mikel before it, stopped the ball, and took advantage of the momentum to smash the ball directly past Mikel.

The audience immediately cheered, and they praised Messi's skillful foot skills.

But Messi seems to feel that all this life is a ******** thing.

Seeing him cut inside after deducting Mikel, Ramires pounced for the first time, wanting to block Messi, but the Argentine suddenly stabbed the ball and gently stabbed the ball past Ramirez.

But at this moment, Ramirez reached out and hugged Messi as a last resort.

Just hugged it, didn't fall, but ruined one of Messi's attacks!

The referee blew the whistle unceremoniously, but did not give cards, after all, it was less than a minute before the game started, and it was a bit too much to give cards at this time.

However, he still called Ramirez over and gave him a hard beating.

The Brazilian midfielder was prepared, and he walked back helplessly, and when he passed Messi, he didn't forget to reach out and pat Messi's shoulder and apologize.

Just now, this is the only way he can stop Messi!

This little Argentinian man is really terrifying, and his reflexes are terrifying, as if he is always faster than others.

Southampton quickly took a free-kick in front.

Cesc Fabregas tried to get the ball to an unmarked Suarez, but John Terry suddenly stepped up and broke it up.

The ball fell to Rakitic, but as soon as the latter caught the ball, he saw that Di Maria had returned to his position, sticking to him, spying on him, as if he would break the ball at any moment.

This meal was a surprise to Rakitic.

Nimei, this defense is too fast, isn't it?

Don't look at Di Maria's slender figure, but when entangled, he is not lost to Rakitic at all.

Unable to do anything, Rakitic could only pass the ball to teammate Mikel with one kick.

But as soon as the Chelsea midfielders got the ball, Suarez, who had retreated from the front, suddenly stabbed the ball away from behind.

Eden Hazard grabbed the ball, but Ivanovic stuck to him and didn't give him a chance, leaving the Belgian with the ball lateral.

And Messi is on the right side of the front of the big penalty area, raising his hand to ask for the ball.

He craves the ball and he enjoys the feeling of it between his feet
