Many years later, one of the most important things in the record about Messi was his Premier League debut.

Time: October 22, 2003 Venue: Old Trafford Stadium Match: Red Rebels away against Manchester United Situation: Red Rebels 10 to 11, away game, 1:0 behind, the scene was suppressed Playing time: In the 78th minute of the second half, Palacio was injured, Messi appeared at 16 years old and 120 days to set a record for the youngest appearance in the Premier League!

…………………… Messi's first appearance was still on the right side, which is also his best position, on the right side he can choose to go down or cut inside, his dominant foot is the left foot, but the right foot technique is also good.

Less than a minute after his first touch, Kaka faced a rush from Keane down the middle and shifted the ball to the right, and Messi was just about to catch the ball when a fierce but reasonable collision knocked him off and dropped the ball at his feet, causing United to launch a dangerous attack.

But this collision also completely knocked Messi's nervousness, and he began to run back and forth on the field, and after receiving the ball on the right side several times, he did not choose to face Fuqiong, but knocked back to Kaka or Essien.

Messi's actions made Fuqiong think that this was a show of weakness, because the latter was too young and childish, coupled with Manchester United controlling the situation on the field, which made Fuqiong feel reassured.

Another 5 minutes passed, and Mourinho had a cold face, and he was also wondering if he was right to bet on a young player like Messi in such a situation, after all, this is a Red Devils derby, a game that the whole of England and even Europe are watching, he is just a 16-year-old child.

But on the other hand, Villa and Ribery, they are not the kind of players who are super capable one-on-one, Villa is a goalkeeper, his speed and technique are good, but to ask him to drop back and break through the winger, it is definitely embarrassing for him.

Ribery has a strong attacking ability, but it relies more on his explosiveness, his skills are good, but the passing skills in a small area are not very good, and in the face of Manchester United's three-back defensive tactics, even if he plays, it is not very useful.

Looking at the Red Rebels lineup, there are two who are the best at passing in a small area, one is Palacio and the other is Messi, the former is injured, the latter is on the bench, despite his youth, Mourinho still wants him to try.

Seeing that Kaka was blocked from knocking back with the ball in the middle, Mourinho turned his head to look at the relaxed Ferguson and scolded angrily, "Fuck, why don't you just drive your team's bus in and block it in front of the goal?" ”

Of course Mourinho's scolding Ferguson didn't hear it, and the latter didn't care, as long as he could win this game, he didn't care, anyway, he got 3 points, no matter how fierce you Mourinho scolded, can you still bite me?

…………………… Messi couldn't get a chance up front and he had to drop back slightly to the halfway line to pick up.

He was familiar with the Red Rebels' tactical system, which he had grown up with over the years, so he knew that he was lonely up front and that he would be able to increase his support in midfield when he retreated.

Sure enough, after retreating, Essien quickly broke the ball and gave it to his feet.

Manchester United defenders Kleberson and Fortune pressed towards Messi, Messi just received the ball, Fortune Qiong had already pressed up, he reflexively went to the middle, avoided Fortune, left foot outside the instep, shook Kleberson, and in a narrow range, passed the two Manchester United defenders to press.

Messi's dexterous movements over the two were breathtaking, and the fans at the scene watched him cut diagonally to the penalty area, and many Red Rebel fans stood up, just about to cheer for him, and more exciting is coming!

Sylvester grabbed the front of the penalty area, hoping to block Messi, Fu Qiong behind him was chasing him to the death, the two of them attacked one after the other, Messi only felt the pressure next to him, and intuitively felt that Fu Qiong should be going to slide and tackle, and Sylvester was just in the position, and his heart was ruthless.

Flicked the ball sideways with his left foot, avoiding Fortune's sliding tackle, shook off Silvestre, accelerated and rushed forward, and then slammed his right foot past Ferdinand, who had been pasted up.

From outside the penalty area to inside the penalty area, in this extremely narrow distance, Messi used dexterous dribbling skills, strange speed changes and changes of direction, shaking Fuqiong, Sylvester and Ferdinand into a daze, and directly killed the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Howard finally chose to attack, Messi paused slightly, slammed it outside, and hit the goal with his right foot from a tight angle.

The ball seemed to have an eye, and it went over Howard's raised left hand to catch Gary who was defending before returning to the goal line? Neville got into the net before, 1:1!

Everyone at the scene was stunned, even the Red Rebels fans who stood up were stunned, Andy, who was in charge of the commentary? Gray and Martin? Taylor was stunned, Mourinho, Ferguson was all stunned, everyone was stunned!

In that moment, time seemed to freeze in that moment!

Messi, a teenager who is only 16 years old, at the moment when the team he plays for is facing a crisis, he stabs out diagonally, and at that moment, he seems to be possessed by Maradona's soul and re-enacts the drama of Maradona's previous succession on the field.

Same location, same legend, same shocking!

Fortune, Kleberson, Silvestre, Ferdinand, Howard, Messi has almost passed the entire backline of Manchester United, and these famous players in the Premier League are played by him like wooden pillars.

Everyone at the scene was shocked for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly thunderous applause and cheers erupted like a tsunami, even the always proud Red Devils fans had to be subdued by Messi's wonderful performance at this moment.

On the contrary, it was Messi, who stood there stunned after scoring the goal, not knowing how to react, until Drogba ran over, picked him up by the waist, and ran around the field with him, he suddenly realized that he had scored.

Finally broke free of Drogba, Messi avoided his teammates who rushed forward to celebrate, ran vigorously, ran to the front of his own stands, and suddenly knelt down and slid to the sidelines, facing the fans, raising his hands as if in prayer.

I don't know when tears hung all over his immature face, and the pain of the past has now been compensated in the best, but he wants to thank someone, a benefactor who has always been full of confidence in him, and constantly encouraged, supported and helped him.

Xiao Yu suddenly felt that his nose was sour, and there were noisy fans beside him, and those who didn't know must have thought that Messi was thanking the fans, but in fact, only Xiao Yu knew that Messi was thanking himself.

If it weren't for Xiao Yu back then, maybe Messi would have stayed in Argentina, and it would not be possible to have today.

The players of the Red Rebels rushed over and surrounded Messi!

There was a shout of [Messi Dona] in the stands, obviously at this moment, Messi is the Maradona in the minds of Red Rebel fans, even as an enemy, Manchester United fans have to be shocked by Messi's goal.

A full 60 meters, it took 10 seconds, passed five people, of which Fortune was crossed twice by him, which should be six people, and then scored a crucial goal, Messi dominated a game orchestrated by Ferguson in just 10 seconds.

Xiao Yu's mind was still echoing the thrilling 10 seconds just now, in his impression, this time he passed 5 people in a row, Messi's speed was faster than the previous life, and the whole process was carried out under the close defense of Fu Qiong, Kleberson, Sylvester and others.

Speed change, dribbling skills, physical confrontation, etc., all indispensable, the current Messi is stronger than in his previous life, although his stature is not high, but his foot skills are very delicate, and the dribbling in a small area is his forte, coupled with the strange and unpredictable sudden speed change and change of direction, this has almost become Messi's biggest killer on the field.

The most rare thing is that Messi's final kick is very calm, and even Moniz said that he has the temperament of a finisher.

But most importantly, Messi is only 16 years old and this is just his Premier League debut!

Getting up from the ground, Curtis, who was good with Messi, had already asked for the ball back for him and brought him to the coach's box, where he kept high-fives with Mourinho, the coach and his teammates on the way.

As if to vent his anger, Mourinho deliberately celebrated in front of Ferguson, and even jumped high and stuck his tongue out at Ferguson to show that he had just shot back.

Ferguson was also shocked by Messi's goal just now, and glanced at Messi who walked back to the field with some envy, but in response to Mourinho's counterattack, he snorted coldly, turned his face away, and simply didn't look at him.

…………………… The game restarted, and the Red Rebels who equalized the score looked very excited, even if the number was at a disadvantage, but the momentum was completely outplayed, especially Messi on the right side, who frequently staged forced breakthroughs, turning Manchester United's entire back line upside down, which made the Red Rebels fans in the stands cheer.

Messi played very well after coming on the field, and then the pressure on the middle was reduced, Drogba, Kaka, plus Beckham and Essien in the back row, and the left side was completely handed over to Evra, and the scene of the Red Rebels was completely lived.

Manchester United, who had a large number of people, was actually occupied by the Red Rebels and had to retreat to their own side.

But even so, they couldn't hold on to the last 1 point in the end.

In the 93rd minute, the Red Rebels, who had been attacking for a few minutes, did not give up even at the end of the game, Beckham cleverly distributed the ball to the right side, Messi used his speed to get rid of Fu Qiong, and just hoisted it into the penalty area before the ball was about to go out of the line.

The Manchester United defenders in the penalty area were judging the route of the ball, but because Messi's lob was done in a hurry, even he didn't know where it would go, so he hurried into the penalty area, hoping to have a chance to score another goal.

The trajectory of this kick was a little erratic, and when it reached the vicinity of the big penalty area, it suddenly fell rapidly.

Kaka, who was inserted in the back row, clearly saw the chaos in the penalty area, and also saw the urgency of time, rushed up, half-turned, raised his right foot, and volleyed the falling ball.

The ball slammed into the goal like a cannonball, and Howard was slightly out of the box, and although he jumped high, he couldn't stop the ball from grazing the top beam.

The fans at the scene once again burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, this shot is definitely comparable to Zidane's flying immortals, only one is on the left, scored with his left foot, and the other is scored with his right foot on the right, but both goals are the same.

After the goal, Kaka rushed over excitedly and hugged Messi tightly, and the two danced samba and tango on the sidelines excitedly, indescribably excited.

Ferguson stared coldly at the excited Red Rebels players on the field, he refused to believe that he had lost, but the score on the big red scoreboard did become 1:2 immediately after Kaka's goal!

"Fuck, this shit-lucky Portuguese!" Ferguson scolded indignantly.

In the managerial battle, this time he won against Jose Mourinho, but he lost to the talent of the Red Rebels squad!

Two flashes of genius beat Alex Ferguson's preparation and 80 minutes of effort by the Manchester United players!
