Chapter 49 I Have a Date with Messi

Although Cruyff and Manchester United had nothing to do with each other, Manchester United's senior management decided to stay in Barcelona for one night. The next day, Ferguson and Dong Fangzhuo represented the team to bid farewell to Cruyff.

Yesterday at 10 o'clock local time, Barcelona held a farewell ceremony for Kesheng at Camp Nou. A total of 15,000 people bid farewell to the red and blue godfather. Guardiola and Messi flew from the UK, Xavi returned from Qatar, Ronaldinho also came from Brazil, Enrique attended with a team of players after training, Laporta, Reque Sacchi and a number of dream stars appeared at the Nou Camp, and Real Madrid chairman Florentino also flew from Madrid to express his condolences. Ferguson and Dong Fangzhuo were also among the crowd.

Barcelona President Bartomeu spoke first, and he even shed tears at one point. "All fans are welcome to the Camp Nou to commemorate Cruyff, who left us a legacy."

Bartomeu said, "Cruyff means a lot to Barcelona, ​​and he will continue to influence Barcelona in the future. He is a modern player who revolutionized football, and an outstanding coach who left a great legacy. Everything illustrates a The fact is that without Cruyff, Barcelona would not be what it is today."

Florentino, who is the same age as Cruyff, also praised Cruyff: "There are some people who I originally thought would never die, and Cruyff is one of them. I know him very well, and some people say that he He changed the history of Barcelona and I think he also changed the history of football. Not just in Spain, but around the world."

Ferguson also spoke on behalf of Manchester United: "Cruyff is as outstanding as Best. They do not belong to the same era, but they have both changed an era. To this day, Cruyff's football philosophy has deeply influenced us. On behalf of Manchester United, I would like to pay the highest respect to Kesheng. He is still loved by football in heaven..."

Best.

Dong Fangzhuo stood behind him silently, remembering that when Best left, he and Ronaldo personally carried his coffin. Suddenly, he remembered that he would have this day in the future, and there would probably be many people coming to say goodbye to him.

But what's the use of having more people come? The most important thing is to live well...

Then, he saw Messi, Ronaldinho, etc., these opponents of the same era and different eras were all here. Maybe one day, I don’t even know who will attend whose memorial service?

After the farewell ceremony, Dong Fangzhuo walked over to say hello to Ronaldinho. The two had not seen each other for many years. When they were still in Milan, they occasionally ate out together. Later, Ronaldinho After Neo returned to Brazil, there was not much contact. I only saw him twice during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but both times were in a hurry.

Ronaldinho's figure has changed too much now. Although he is not as fat as Ronaldinho, he is still potbellied. After retiring, they all gained weight.

The two had a good hug, but they couldn't get along for long, because Dong Fangzhuo and Ferguson had to rush back to England to prepare for the weekend's league game.

On the other side, the same goes for Guardiola and Messi.

Unexpectedly, the four people met again on the plane.

It was a bit embarrassing, with Guardiola, Messi and Manchester United's entire first team all seated in the same business class cabin.

Messi and Dong Fangzhuo are only separated by one position.

This is not the first time. The closest distance between them is at the annual awards night. Every time, Ronaldo and Messi sit next to him. But this time is special because there are only two of them in the entire row.

The atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable. The two of them were both in Manchester, but they had met on the street and now they met on the plane.

Dong Fangzhuo thought for a while, he had to find something to talk about, otherwise he would be embarrassed to death.

"What a sad day." Dong Fangzhuo took the lead in provoking the topic.

"Yes."

"But people always have to leave, it's just a matter of sooner or later."

"While we are still alive, we should do something we like to do."

Messi doesn’t know how to answer it;

He has little life experience. Although he is one of the richest athletes in the world, Messi's life is just about playing football, training, and going home.

"Have you ever thought about what you will do after you retire?"

"Huh?" He is only 28 years old and has not yet considered what to do after retirement. But he still thought about it for a while.

"I think I will continue to live in Spain. Argentina is a bit unfamiliar."

This is quite true. Dong Fangzhuo smiled. He has lived in Spain since he was a child. How could Messi return to Argentina?

"You said before that you seemed to want to return to Old Boys and retire?"

"Yes, but I don't think so now."

"I have a lot of affection there, but I have a home now. My home is in Spain, so I guess I won't go."

"Haha, you are so heartbroken." Dong Fangzhuo loves Messi like this very much.

"What about you?" Under Dong Fangzhuo's initiative, Messi began to be more relaxed.

"I'm still used to life in China. If I don't become a coach, I will return to China. As for the business here, I will leave it to others. I feel that I have stayed in the football world for too long."

It is naturally a long time for two people to be human. Messi will not understand this.

"But before I retire, I have a good proposal."

"What?"

Dong Fangzhuo smiled slyly. This proposal was not just something he had thought about, fans all over the world might have imagined it.

"Are you interested in coming to Southampton to play after you turn 35? By that time, you should have faded out of Barcelona's first team."

"Oh?" Messi raised his eyebrows.

"I know your team."

"But it's no different than me going to Old Boy."

"Yeah, if it's just you, it makes no difference."

"But what if there is still me and there is Ronaldo?"

"..."

Messi was temporarily speechless. This idea was so dreamy, he sometimes thought about it, what if three people were on the same team? What would that be like?

"But you will all be 37 by then, can you wait?"

He was obviously interested.

Dong Fangzhuo smiled, "If this is a date, then it will definitely be a beautiful one, why not?"

"Okay, I will seriously consider it, I can't promise you now."

"Don't worry, Ronaldo and I still have a lot of time, at least three or four years. What I'm worried about is, by that time, will no one be able to beat us? In that case, it will be too lonely. ,so boring!"

"..."

"I don't know either."

"I hope it won't be so boring..."
