Argentine Lionel Messi made his first appearance for Barcelona in a friendly against Porto on 16 November 2003 at the age of 16 years and 145 days, and a year later, at the age of 17 years and 114 days, Messi played for Barcelona against Espanyol in the league, becoming the third-youngest player in Barça's history and the club's youngest player to make a league appearance. Messi scored against Albacete on 1 May 05, and at the age of 17 years, 10 months and 7 days, he became the youngest player to score a league goal for Barca. In the just-concluded 06-07 season, although Messi failed to lead Barcelona to the league championship, he scored a hat-trick against the league champion Real Madrid, becoming the first player to score three goals in the duel of the century after Zamorano. What made him even more famous was in the first half of this year, when he replicated Maradona's five-man goal in the Shijie Cup in the semi-final against Getafe in the Copa del Rey.

However, can Zhang Linfan, who is only 18 years old, catch up with Messi, who has just celebrated his 20th birthday?

may be purely about speed or body, Zhang Linfan will not be inferior to Messi, but the football field is not only about physical hardware. I saw Messi take the ball and go crazy with the ball forward, and the ball seems to have spirituality, obediently stuck to his feet, almost every step of Messi, can get to the ball, the average player is to take the ball and choose the running posture and pace, and Messi seems that the ball is following him in accordance with the rhythm of his full sprint.

How scary is a player who runs as fast with the ball as he does with his bare feet?

The horror is that Zhang Linfan, who was also at the peak of his physical speed, was thrown off a position by Messi with the ball when he was chasing back with all his might!

The No. 9 Eto'o in the middle and No. 14 Henry on the left hurriedly followed Messi when they saw this, and the central defenders of Shanghai United, No. 5 Dewey and No. 23 Li Weifeng, one by one, watched the two of them, but Messi has completely shaken off Zhang Linfan, came to the corner of the small penalty area, and entered a situation where one can shoot or pass, and goalkeeper Wang Dalei also hurried to take a step forward at this time, at least to block one of Messi's options.

I saw Messi running wildly while observing the situation in the middle, just when he was about to get close to the Shanghai United backline, he suddenly threw the outside of his left foot backwards to the middle, and suddenly Iniesta at the top of the penalty area was inserted, at this time, Shanghai United captain Li Weifeng couldn't care about Eto'o around him at all, and when he fell to the ground, he was ready to block Iniesta's shot with his body.

I saw Iniesta raise his right foot and seemed to shoot, but when Li Weifeng's body arrived in front of him, he buckled with his right foot, and the ball easily dodged Li Weifeng's flying tackle, and then the ball fell on Iniesta's own left foot, and then the left foot was pushed forward, and the ball changed from horizontal to vertical, Iniesta seemed to easily wade past Li Weifeng, and then faced Dewey, who had been deflected by Henry in the penalty area, without pressure, and pushed the lower left corner of the goal, and Wang Dalei also sideways to the right side of Messi, looking at the ball and being powerless.

1 to 1! With only 10 minutes to play, Barcelona equalised with a neat attack.

"Oops, that's a shame!" Zhou Liang couldn't help but drag out a long tone, "This ball is only a little bit close!" ”

Tang Meng smiled slightly: "It does seem that it is a little bit worse, from Han Sen's almost blocking Xavi, to Zhang Linfan's almost catching up with Messi, and then to Li Weifeng's almost breaking Iniesta, but this is just this point, Han Sen, Zhang Linfan and Li Weifeng can be said to have done their best, and they can't make up for this gap, make up for this gap with Shijie stars." Xavi's straight stopper, Messi's speed and Iniesta's croquettes just now, these are all jishu styles that have been unanimously affirmed by European football, and it is rare for Chinese football to be able to achieve a gap of only a millimeter in the face of such a top jishu. ”

The moment Iniesta scored, Han Sen had already stood up from the ground, helplessly watching the ball into the net, although this was just a friendly match, a warm-up match, but in the face of the excitement of the shijie superstar and the struggle on the field was only a little bit but like a moat of helplessness, which made people scratch their hearts and entangled.

Barcelona's stars surrounded Iniesta, who scored the goal, and Messi, who assisted, walked past Han Sen with joy, which made this entanglement extremely magnified, and the most painful thing on the football field is always the arrogance and indifference of the opponent, even if it is the strongest opponent and the highest hand.

You must know that although Han Sen's career has just begun, in his previous football career, Han Sen stood on the field with a strong man as a victor most of the time, and this kind of all-round feeling of defeat was not much before.

When the game restarted, it was still Gao Lin and Wu Lei who gave the ball back to Han Sen, and at the moment when the ball was passed back to Han Sen, tens of thousands of fans in the stadium shouted in unison, and at the same time, the entire Barcelona frontcourt habitual forward rush formation also suddenly paused. Han Sen took the ball and turned around like the first ball, but did not choose to turn back, but directly knocked the ball back to his teammate No. 7 Cao Yunding in Shanghai East Asia.

"Just now, at the moment when Han Sen received the ball, it seemed that I felt that the other 21 people in the audience had paused, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for Han Sen's next move, this phenomenon was amazing!" Zhou Liang said to Tang Meng excitedly.

Tang Meng analyzed: "Yes, this is a player's involuntary deterrence, we often say that an excellent midfielder plays, as if walking leisurely, in addition to his own excellent jishu and strong psychological quality, the deterrence of defenders is also a big reason, no one dares to come forward to force you, naturally jishu action is much calmer." ”

"It makes sense, it shows that Han Sen also has this kind of deterrence, and even deters the superstars in Barcelona." Zhou Liang said with admiration.

Tang Meng smiled: "Judging from the process of Han Sen making the first goal, he fully possesses this ability. ”

Han Sen, as a front midfielder, did not choose to organize the ball by himself for the first time, Cao Yunding was obviously not as decisive as Han Sen when he held the ball, and swayed left and right several times with the ball, and then chose to prepare to pass to No. 8 Li Gang on the right side, and between Cao Yunding's swings, Henry on the left side of Barcelona had already inserted it, and a big long leg cut off Cao Yunding's cross, and he went behind Li Gang after a trip, this is the disadvantage of the three defenders, as long as the side guard is broken, then on this big corner, There is a lack of a full-back in the true sense of the word to control, and it seems that Xu Genbao's back three today is really out of place against Barcelona's top three strikers.
