Chapter 43 The First Round
Barcelona, the opponent, and Degan are indeed very grudges. Degan participated in the Champions League for the first time, and he met Barcelona in the knockout round. In the end, he won the Champions League trophy that season.
After Degan moved to Fiorentina, he led the team to the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League again. The first opponent he encountered was Barcelona. As a result, in the contest last season, the final winner was Degan and the team he played for .
Now, in this season's Champions League knockout stage, Fiorentina once again met Barcelona.
Unlike the Barcelona he encountered before, the current La Liga overlord has completely become Messi's team. The Argentine boy wears the No. 10 jersey and has taken over Ronaldinho's mantle and has become the new king of the Nou Camp .
"Barcelona is strong, but what we have to do is to beat them. It's a very simple proposition. There is nothing to analyze! Why did we win? After the game, you will know!"
After Degan finished speaking, he left the reporter and walked into the training base of Florence. The battle was coming, but there was no trace of tension in Florence. The players were very relaxed. When Degan arrived, some players had already arrived. He was talking and laughing while doing warm-up exercises on the court.
Degan saw Beckham. Although he had already participated in the match against Sporting Lisbon before, the contest against a strong team like Barcelona was the real return to the Champions League stage.
"Hey! David!"
Degan greeted with a smile, and kicked the ball in front of him. Beckham's reaction was very fast, he turned around and stopped the ball with his chest, and stepped on it.
"How does it feel to face an opponent like Barcelona again?"
Beckham looked at Digan's serious look, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you a reporter? Rhodes! If you are a reporter, I can only say that I have no comment!"
Degan jogged to Beckham's side and shrugged, "Maybe I'm asking this question too early, I should save this question for the Champions League final, when all I want to ask is 'Hey! David! How does it feel to meet your old club Manchester United in the Champions League final!?'David! Seriously, I am looking forward to your answer!"
Beckham was taken aback. Now that the Champions League has only reached the quarter-finals, Degan has already started to think about the final. Could it be that he is really so confident, and Degan is sure that Manchester United can reach the final.
Degan saw Beckham's question, of course he couldn't explain it. In his previous life this season's Champions League final was Manchester United and Barcelona. Now, as long as Fiorentina can get rid of Barcelona, there is no need to worry about the opponents behind.
"David! Don't you expect it?"
Hearing the words, Beckham really started to imagine, if he could really meet his old club Manchester United in the Champions League final, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he would be in then.
Even now,? Now, if someone asks him, which team is his favorite?
Beckham will still say Manchester United's name without hesitation!
But when he really gets to the court, it's a completely different matter. He is a professional player with professional ethics. At that time, his only choice is to do his best to help Fiorentina beat Manchester United.
"I think I can answer you now~~~~~~"
"No!" Degan interrupted Beckham with a smile, "Don't talk about it now, David! It's better to leave some suspense! Now we only need to keep Barcelona in our heads!"
With Barcelona in your head!
Get rid of Barcelona!
Degan is thinking about killing Barcelona, and Messi, who is far away in Barcelona, is also thinking about killing Fiorentina, to be precise, killing Degan!
Messi's career, except for the height problem, everything else is smooth, but God is a bit unfair. After giving him superhuman skills, he arranged for him an opponent like the ultimate boss .
Deegan!
Messi and Degan have played against each other many times on the court, but he has never won even one time. Whether it is a club game or representing the Argentine Olympic team in the Olympics, Messi has never won a single time. He has always been a loser .
This makes Messi unacceptable, especially Messi still remembers until now that Ronaldinho, who was in full swing, fell at the feet of Digan, and Ronaldinho was regarded by Messi as his elder brother .
In the past two days, Messi has always been preoccupied. Although his performance on the court is still eye-catching, he is still the most threatening player in this Barcelona team, but Messi's words have become less and less. The smile was no longer visible on his face.
All this makes Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola worried. Messi is his trump card. If he wants to make his first season in Barcelona, he will completely get rid of the shadow of Rijkaard. There must be a breakthrough in performance.
In the league, in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona is the best. It should not be a problem to win these two championships, but what Guardiola wants most is the Champions League trophy.
Now, it is Fiorentina that stands in the way of Guardiola's success.
Of course, there is Messi's state!
Guardiola wanted to talk to Messi several times, but was stopped by the team's assistant coach Vilanova: "Pep! He is no longer a child, he must learn to deal with problems by himself!"
What Vilanova said made sense, so for Messi, Guardiola chose to be silent, and everything will wait until after the game is over before commenting.
As the battle draws closer day by day, the air above Barcelona will freeze. Barcelona fans will never forget the memory of their beloved team being eliminated from the Champions League by Fiorentina last season.
Now they are thinking about revenge!
And what Messi thinks is to fulfill Ronaldinho's entrustment, defeat Digan, defeat Digan!
"If anyone in this world can completely beat that guy, it's you, Leo! Do it!"
This is what Ronaldinho and Messi said at the beginning, and Messi has been thinking about it all these years, so every time he has the opportunity to compete with Digan, he will do his best, but in the end, he never failed. won.
This time, Messi also suffocated his strength. He wanted to make himself angry. The energy erupted by an angry person is absolutely terrifying.
It's a pity that this time, there is not a buck-toothed man who is always smiling to share with him!
