Chapter 283 Learn from Yang Yang's Good Example
On the morning of April [-]th, Barcelona, Sports City.
When Leo Messi approached the locker room, he heard the movement from inside before entering the door.
"Hey guys, did you guys watch last night's game?" was the voice of Brazilian left-back Sylvinho.
He was the second teammate Messi spoke to after he entered the first team.
"Look, Villarreal played well, but unfortunately lost." This is the voice of Ronaldinho.
He is the first.
"Ajax played better, I think." It was the voice of midfielder Deco.
"Defense, man, they defend well," Ronaldinho retorted.
"No, no, I'm talking about that Chinese boy." Deco replied.
"Yes, that kid is not bad, quite powerful." Sylvinho laughed.
Ronaldinho pondered for a while, "Well, it's really good. That Cruyff turned around very quickly and lightly. It can be seen that he has practiced and has a good sense of the ball, but he is not casual enough."
"You see, no one is casual enough. You can't make others play like you, please." Deco countered.
"OK, I'm just expressing my opinion, okay?" Ronaldinho was aggrieved.
"I think the pendulum after him is better than Cruyff's before." The Brazilian superstar added.
This statement was endorsed by many teammates in the locker room.
"He's pretty quick, I think."
"It was really fast. I played against him in the Champions League final." Deco said, "I still remember that after the final, my teammates Carvalho and Costa told me that the kid was like a loach after coming off the bench, running around everywhere, but he really ran very smart. If he didn't pay attention, he ran to a deadly place to catch the ball."
"We also played against Ajax, and Yang Yang is indeed one of the most threatening players." Jiuli joined the discussion, "However, judging from last night's game, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds."
"That's right, better than last season."
"Back then his stoppage was pretty average."
"Physical confrontation is also relatively weak."
"That's right, but judging from last night's performance, he has really improved a lot, and he probably worked hard."
"You are talented, but you have already performed so fiercely. As long as you are not injured or ill, you will have a bright future."
"Ajax also protects him very well. Now he basically plays six or seven 10 minutes per game, so there shouldn't be a big problem."
"In this respect Ajax is still very strong."
Everyone discussed for a while, and the topic closely revolved around Yang Yang.
But soon, others joined the discussion.
"I think Sneijder is also worthy of attention. He has worn many balls for Yang Yang." This is Harvey.
As Barcelona's midfield playmaker, Harvey pays more attention to the midfielder's game situation.
"Oh, I think you guys forgot about Maicon?" Sylvinho reminded.
The Brazilian right-back assisted with a beautiful cross last night at the El Estadio.
In today's Barcelona dressing room, Brazilian players account for a large proportion, so they soon began to discuss the cooperation between Maicon and Yang Yang on the right, especially the second goal. They feel that the two really have a tacit understanding.
"I've heard that almost all the giants in Europe are paying close attention to Yang Yang, and I'm afraid they will go crazy this summer."
"Which giant doesn't want such a young rookie?"
"I really want to find a chance to compete with him." Ronaldinho said eagerly.
"Just think about it, and don't involve me." Sylvinho quickly refused.
He is a left back, just in line with Yang Yang, a right winger.
When you meet such a player, whoever touches it will be unlucky.
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Messi stood at the door of the locker room, listening silently.
He was promoted to the first team this season. As soon as he joined the team, he was taken care of by Brazilian players who also came from South America. The team's number one star Ronaldinho even said on the spot that from now on, Messi will be under his care.
Ronaldinho, Deco, Sylvinho, Belletti, Ed Nelson, Thiago Motta...
These Brazilian players have accepted him from the very beginning, and from now on, whether it is in the circle or in group training, he will be with the Brazilian players, which makes Messi integrate into the team smoothly.
He came off the bench for the first time in the seventh round of La Liga in October last year when Barcelona challenged Espanyol away, but he only played for 8 minutes. Then in the home game against Osasuna, he came off the bench and played for 10 minutes.
Since then, he has been on the roster for one month in a row, but he has always sat on the bench.
In February, he accepted the invitation of the Argentine National Youth Team and participated in the South American qualifiers. He performed very well, but after he came back, he always sat on the bench and occasionally played for a few minutes.
In the away game against Athletic Bilbao, he only played for 1 minute.
The only time he started and played the whole game was in the last game of the Champions League group stage. The team had already qualified ahead of schedule. Rijkaard gave him the starting qualification and played the whole game, but Barcelona lost [-]-[-] in that game.
So far this season, he has entered the squad 10 times and played seven times in Barcelona this season. The total playing time is only about [-] minutes. In the league, he has entered the squad [-] times and played as a substitute five times. The total playing time is less than [-] minutes.
This situation makes Messi feel very depressed, because he is 17 years old.
The 17-year-old Yang Yang has performed very well in the Eredivisie League. He has already represented Ajax in breaking Arsenal's goal and representing Ajax in the Champions League final.
But the 17-year-old Messi is still struggling on the bench in Barcelona.
His best friend, Cesc Fabregas went to Arsenal and was reused. Another friend Pique went to Manchester United and also attracted much attention. Only he chose to stay and waited hard for the opportunity.
And when Messi heard that Barcelona also intends to introduce Yang Yang, his mind was completely dazed.
He can play left and right, but with Ronaldinho on the left, he can only play on the right, but if another Yang Yang is introduced on the right, what chance does he have?
Messi has always been reserved and shy, but delicate and sensitive. He doesn't talk much, but thinks a lot.

"Leo."
Coach Rijkaard also appeared at the door of the locker room.
He is like a gentleman, always dressed in a neat suit, with a relaxed and freehand smile.
He's a good guy, but assistant coach Ten Carter is a loathsome guy who personally hates ghosts.
"They...they were talking about the UEFA Cup last night." Messi squeezed out a smile, very reluctantly.
What kind of person Rijkaard is, he immediately captured Messi's emotional changes.
The performance of La Liga in the European arena this season is not satisfactory. Real Madrid stopped in the top [-], and Barcelona also lost to Mourinho's Chelsea in the top [-].
Pellegrini's Villarreal is the European team that has gone the farthest in La Liga this season. Many people have high hopes for them, hoping that they can win a UEFA Cup and resolve the embarrassment of the La Liga team in the European war.
Unexpectedly, last night, the Yellow Submarine was defeated by Ajax [-]-[-]. Yang Yang scored twice, and the limelight even overwhelmed Riquelme, which shocked the entire Spanish football world.
This morning, from Marca to Aspen to El Pais, from Daily Sports to Mundo Deportivo, almost all the major media are reporting on the player Yang Yang, hyping for a while that Real Madrid is interested in him, and then saying that Barcelona wants to get him.
Rijkaard can understand Messi's complicated mood at this moment. He has a position conflict with Yang Yang. If the club really spends a lot of money to introduce Yang Yang, it is impossible for him to have Messi's position.
"Leo, don't worry too much. At least so far, I haven't heard any news that the club has contacted Ajax."
After hearing this, Messi's eyes recovered a little.
"Not long ago, when I returned to the Netherlands, many of them told me about Yang Yang, saying that he has made great progress this season, and he has performed so well this season. There are many things like that, but do you know that Yang Yang is the first to go to the training base every day, and he doesn't leave until it gets dark. During the middle period, he practiced almost all the time."
Messi was silent, and asked himself, he was not as hardworking and hardworking as Yang Yang.
"Half a year ago, Yang Yang took the initiative to carry out strength training. During the winter break, he hired the club's fitness coach as a personal trainer at his own expense. He insisted on training, so his performance went a step further in the second half."
Now, Messi understands what Rijkaard said to himself.
Not long ago, assistant coach Ten Carter suggested that he accept strength training, but like all South American players, he was full of resistance to the gym and was reluctant to accept Ten Carter's arrangement.
When Rijkaard told him this at this time, he just wanted to tell him that it is impossible to make progress without suffering.
"Believe me, Leo, there is no so-called genius in this world." Rijkaard said a surprising sentence.
Messi was a little surprised, he didn't believe it.
"Ronaldo grew up holding the ball. He was inseparable from the ball. The ball was like a part of his body, so people said he was a genius; Bergkamp insisted on practicing hard every day, without interruption, without anyone to accompany him. He trained against the wall, so people also said he was a genius. And Ronaldinho, he also grew up with the ball since he was a child."
"These so-called geniuses, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than the time they have invested in football since childhood, which is far higher than others. Even if they have a little bit of talent, it doesn't matter. It accounts for 90.00% at most, but the other [-]% must rely on hard training."
Rijkaard was once one of the best players in the world, and what he said touched Messi a lot, and even subverted it a bit.
"Two years ago, Yang Yang was just a teenager who couldn't play in an amateur team, but now, he is already a hot new talent in European football. He can achieve all this because of his hard training."
"He is the best role model for you to learn from!"
Messi was silent, not knowing how to respond. These words stimulated him a bit, and he needed to digest it properly.
Rijkaard didn't say much, "Think about it carefully."
Watching the head coach leave, Messi couldn't help but think of the Ajax guy named Yang Yang. Is he really that hardworking?Is it really that powerful?
But soon, Messi realized that from beginning to end, Rijkaard only said that Barcelona had no contact with Ajax, but he did not say that Barcelona was not interested in Yang Yang.
Realizing this, Messi became uneasy again.
