Messi has no Ronaldo by his side, of course, to be precise, this time, Messi is no longer the little brother who follows the Brazilian.

Since last season, Barcelona lost the battle of the century twice in the first single season in 24 years, Barcelona's restructuring plan has had to speed up in an all-round way, whether it is in the technical director Begiristain or the quasi-coach Pep Guardiola, who has not yet entered the Camp Nou at the time, Messi is the unshakable core of the new Barcelona.

The new leader hasn't thought too much about the future of the team, but the introverted Messi has too much to express about the composition of the team after the reorganization.

Messi knows very well that the birth of a new core must herald the departure of an old core, Messi is the new core, so Ronaldinho, as the old core, is destined to leave Camp Nou.

People will not forget that in the penultimate round of the league last season, when Messi faced Valencia and scored a penalty, Messi created the biggest suspense of that game, and Messi made four consecutive "Pinocchio touch his nose" gesture after the goal, with a very serious expression, and then pointed his left hand in the direction of the rostrum.

Who exactly is Messi targeting?

Messi's father, Jorge, in order to calm the controversy at that time, took the initiative to say after the game that Messi's action was to dedicate the goal to him. However, in the body language of any country, there is no second explanation for Pinocchio's nose touching, and such a celebratory gesture would be used between father and son? And is it expressionless?

Messi himself avoided any explanation for the move at the time, but that could not stop the media from speculating about it.

Some journalists speculated that perhaps Messi was targeting Laporta and his close friends on the podium, as Laporta had already deceived the public more than once when it came to dealing with Ronaldo.

But Laporta certainly can't deceive Ronaldo's friend Messi, and the Argentine naturally knows Ronaldo's true feelings, and Messi's actions are precisely to show up for his friends who have suffered injustice.

Another piece of news seems to support the possibility of such speculation, when Barcelona's third-tier record collapsed last season and Laporta was in a difficult situation, even though the chairman and his aides declared Messi to be the cornerstone of the future Barcelona, Messi himself did not respond positively.

Everyone knows what it means for Laporta to have Messi's support at this time.

Coincidentally, Laporta's contender for the Barcelona presidency, Rosell, said: "I don't think Ronaldo will go. ”

Obviously, at that time, Russell was more optimistic about the combination of Messi and Ronaldo, who could revive Barcelona again, and in the Barcelona team, there was indeed no one more than Messi who hoped that Ronaldo could continue to stay in the team.

But in the end, Ronaldo still left, left the Camp Nou, went to San Siro, leaving Messi alone to guard Barcelona, and when Ronaldo called Messi to tell him that he was leaving, he only said one sentence: "Leo!" You've grown up! It's time for you to take on more responsibility! ”

Messi could only choose to accept it after the initial discomfort, and before the start of this season, Messi expressed his gratitude to Xiao Luo to reporters in an interview.

Messi's Barcelona debut dates back to 2004, and a year ago Ronaldo joined Barcelona from Paris Saint-Germain and gradually became a hero at the Camp Nou.

'I've been emphasising that when I first came to Barcelona's first team, a lot of Brazilian players helped me, including Ronaldinho, Deco, Silvinho and so on, but Ronaldinho helped me the most, it was very important, it's hard for a teenage hairy kid to fit into the dressing room, but Ronaldinho made things easy, very lucky that I can play with him and share it, I think he's a really good guy and that's the most important thing.

Ronaldo has been with Barcelona for five years and has won two La Liga titles, and Messi also believes that Ronaldo is the most important force in Barca's dynasty.

'Ronaldinho has the responsibility of helping Barcelona regain their glory, the club didn't play well before, but his arrival changed everything, in the first year we didn't win any trophies, but people loved him, and then we kept winning trophies and he made everyone very happy and I think Barça should always be grateful for everything he did.

Messi has long been called the "new Maradona", and although the Argentine teenager himself does not like to be called that, this season, after the departure of Ronaldo, at the Camp Nou, he wore the number 10 shirt like the old horse.

The number 10 has been given the representative significance of the team's star player in the history of football since the king of the ball, Pele. The 21-year-old Messi wore the number 30 in the past at Barcelona, which belongs to the second-tier players, and has been wearing the number 19 since turning positive.

In the Argentine team, Messi wears the No. 18 more, and now he wears the Barcelona No. 10, which also means that the club hopes that he can replace the position of Ronaldo in the past and become the leader of the Catalan giant.

The team hopes that Messi will become the leader of Barcelona, but Messi hopes that Ronaldo can share this honor with him, it can be said that from the beginning of Camp Nou to the present, Messi's side has never left the big Brazilian brother with rabbit teeth, which almost ran through Messi's Camp Nou career.

In 04, Messi was 17 years old and played for the first time in an official match for the Barcelona team, and in 04, Ronaldo was 24 years old and was coming to Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium as a "savior".

At that time, Messi was not favored, but only Xiao Luo always thought that he was the best, and he said many times in public: "Messi will surpass me sooner or later." ”

During the training, Xiao Luo's guidance made Messi grow up rapidly, and the introverted Messi only smiled when he was next to Xiao Luo, who always showed his happy buckteeth.

Messi remembers that when he was first promoted to the Barcelona first team, Ronaldo called him to his side, and there were Deco, Silvinho and others sitting at the dinner table.

"Leao, you're the only Argentine who can sit at this table." Xiao Luo's words made Messi remember it for a lifetime.

In the dressing room at Camp Nou, "gangs" can be described as "tradition", but Messi has always been a staunch supporter of Ronaldo, and in the years since, Ronaldo has become the undisputed king of Camp Nou. And Messi, who later became the main force, formed a terrifying "trident" with Xiao Luo and Eto'o, which was full of power and swept La Liga with few opponents.

Messi said that what he is most used to is to cooperate with Ronaldo on the field.

The two of them will support each other in various awards, and repeatedly emphasize that it is the happiest thing to play together.

However, after the climax, Ronaldo quickly fell off the altar, and the media continued to criticize Ronaldo, and at this time, only Messi supported Ronaldo: "When the team is bad, it is necessary to blame the whole team, not individual players." ”

When everyone knows that Xiao Luo's state has declined, only Messi believes that he is still "the first in the world".

When Xiao Luo couldn't play, Messi made the gesture that belonged to Xiao Luo after scoring a goal, hoping to continue the myth of the trident.

When Barcelona received an invitation from AC Milan, when everyone knew that Xiao Luo would leave, and even Xiao Luo was not sure whether he would stay, only Messi was still so stubborn and said: "No, Xiao Luo will not leave, he will stay, and we will play together in Barcelona in the future!" ”

Xiao Luo must know very well in his heart that even if the whole world denies him, at least one person will stand up and support him, and it is Messi.

However, in the end, Ronaldo left Barcelona and left the number 10 shirt to Messi.

He wouldn't mind Messi replacing him as the so-called "new king" at all, but he would mind that the former trident could no longer stand together and gallop invincible, and that their youthful and youthful days would not be repeated at Camp Nou again.

Those shots in the past often flash in Messi's mind, those past years, training together, even practicing are only looking for each other, in those two years of competition, Xiao Luo and Messi always climbed each other side by side, even when standing in formation to take pictures, Xiao Luo has always been behind Messi, with a pair of hands on Messi's shoulders, this position combination has hardly changed.

When Messi is injured, the fastest to come must be Xiao Luo, whenever Messi is violated by the opponent and is fiercely shoveled to the ground, Xiao Luo is always the first to rush up to the opponent to "roar".

In Xiao Luo's heyday, in the face of interviews with reporters, Xiao Luo often said: "I tell you, there is a player who is better than me, and his name is Messi!" ”

Xiao Luo in the golden age is almost the master of Barcelona on the field, with a strong group of Brazilian teammates, during dinner, Messi is the only Argentine who sits with these Brazilian stars and talks happily, I have to say that it is officially because of Xiao Luo's inspiration that Messi has been able to integrate into Barcelona so quickly and feel the warmth of more teammates.

The R necklace around Xiao Luo's neck, everyone knows this jewelry, he loves it like life, and he will take it off every time he plays in Barcelona, only to Messi sitting on the stool, and he never lets others touch the chain, even his favorite mother.

When Messi scored a goal, Ronaldo ran all over the field with him on his back almost every time, shouting happily as he ran, which was higher than the proportion of Ronaldo hugging any player.

When Xiao Luo's life style was criticized, Messi never accused Xiao Luo of being bad, just like Xiao Luo always said that Messi is my little brother, Messi has always said that Xiao Luo is like an older brother, sometimes even like a father, helping him and protecting him selflessly will give him a lot.

Messi has always said: "You can never do what Ronaldo did, everyone can only imitate." ”

Xiao Luo and Messi, the two generations of kings at Camp Nou, people always like to compare from all aspects, as if they have to give two people a winner, first from the free kick, Xiao Luo's free kick did not say, Messi needless to say, he is not good at all, compared with Xiao Luo, he is far behind.

In terms of dribbling, Xiao Luo's dribbling and Messi's dribbling are both first-class in the world, both of them rely on speed, but Xiao Luo is dribbling at low speed, most people think it is simple, slow speed is good to dribble, in fact, the slower the speed, the more difficulty increases, Xiao Luo can skillfully dribble at low speed, he can even stand still directly, he can pass people, this kind of stunt, only Xiao Luo can play in the world of the world, Digan, Messi and Golden Mauro dare not play.

Because as soon as the ball stopped, two or three people immediately came up to surround it, and how to pass people, and the position was also stuck, but Xiao Luo can, his feet are like magicians, Messi can dribble at high speed, but not at low speed.

In terms of organizing the attack, the frontcourt of Barcelona back then was all made alive by Xiao Luo, and now Messi has never been organized in Barcelona, but he is sudden, and one is counted as one, obviously in terms of organization, Xiao Luo is still powerful.

Habitual feet, Messi's foot only has one left foot, he relies too much on his left foot, and Xiao Luo is as powerful as his two feet, and both feet can also play magic.

Xiao Luo is the king of football in this era, no one should question him, for the current predicament of Xiao Luo in San Siro, it can only be said that it is because Ancelotti is too partial to Seedorf.

Messi is clear about the outside world's evaluation of Ronaldo and Messi, and he never minds about it, but just laughs: "There is still a big gap between me and Ronaldinho now, but I believe that one day I will surpass him, because this is the last task he left me when he left Camp Nou." ”

This season, Barcelona under the leadership of Messi, has indeed embarked on the road of revival, and in the league, they have now left their arch-rival Real Madrid far behind.

But the La Liga championship has already been won in the era of Ronaldo, and if Messi wants to surpass Ronaldo, he must make a difference in the Champions League.

This time, Messi met the most powerful opponent in his life, Degan!

In the Champions League, Messi's Barcelona lost twice to the team that Deegan played, and in the Olympic finals, Argentina hated the Bird's Nest and watched Deegan lead the Belgian Olympic team to win the Olympic gold medal.

It can be said that on the football field, Messi has been left too far by Degan, he only has the league championship, and Degan is only one World Cup championship trophy away from becoming a god.

Deegan on the football field is almost incomprehensible, although Messi is not convinced, but he also has to admit it, but Messi will not admit defeat, because he still remembers Ronaldinho's words after losing to Deegan in the 2005/2006 Champions League knockout round: "Leo!" You must defeat him in the future! ”

"For me, it's nothing better to be able to meet Fiorentina in the first round of the Champions League knockout round! This time the winner will be us, Barcelona! ”
