Chapter 223 The best bus driver in the world
When Paris Saint-Germain is destined to meet Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals.
Apart from Song Wen, the player that fans pay the most attention to is naturally Neymar.
As the "successor to Messi" and a member of the MSN Trident, Neymar, who is considered by fans to be the next king of football after Messi and Ronaldo, is a hot topic in himself.
His move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee of 2.2 million euros in the summer window of this season shocked the entire football world.
The entire first half of the season, or rather the entire season, should have belonged to Neymar.
Unfortunately, a ruthless killing machine named Song Wen suddenly emerged in the football world and completely stole Neymar's limelight.
But even so, Neymar is still a leader among the younger generation.
After all, Messi and Ronaldo are old. Now in the football world, if we have to choose one person to be the leader in the movement against Song Wen, it must be Neymar without a doubt.
If there is any football star who can make accountants change their careers to become astrologers overnight and make barbers collectively suffer from decision-making difficulties, it must be Neymar da Silva Santos Junior - known as the "walking ATM machine", "Bitcoin of the transfer market" and "Winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award in the hairspray industry".
In the summer of 2013, Neymar arrived in Barcelona with a colorful afro as "Pele's successor".
Messi looked at this Brazilian teenager who was five years younger than him and used more hair gel than he scored goals, and fell into deep thought: "Is he here to play football or to open a hair salon?"
It turned out that Messi's worries were completely unnecessary.
After Neymar used a rainbow pass to shake off the entire Real Madrid defense, Messi made a decision on the spot: "This kid is under my protection!"
From then on, the most expensive boy band in football history, "MSN", officially debuted - Messi was responsible for passing the ball from a God's perspective, Suarez was responsible for biting the defender with his fangs, Neymar was responsible for performing a 360-degree Thomas spin celebration after scoring a goal, and by the way, watering the Nou Camp lawn with hairspray.
Off the field, the relationship between Messi and Neymar is a textbook example of "South American brotherhood."
Messi taught Neymar how to wear a gold chain in the most low-key way: "Remember, hide it in your jersey, otherwise the tax bureau's drone will be able to take pictures."
Neymar taught Messi how to use hair wax to carve a miniature image of Christ on his head: "This is called the quantum entanglement of faith and fashion!"
During a training session, Neymar tried to pay tribute to Messi with a "rainbow pass", but the ball hit Suarez's back of the head accurately.
Messi calmly picked up the ball: "Your move should be called 'Rainbow Shot'."
From then on, "Blacksmith" became Neymar's new nickname in the locker room.
While the MSN team swept across Europe, Neymar was in sweet distress: "Every time I scored twice, the headlines were all about Messi's hat trick!"
In the 2015 Champions League final, Neymar scored a goal in stoppage time to seal the victory, but when he turned around, he found that Messi had been surrounded by reporters.
He poked Suarez aggrievedly: "Obviously, I am the one who scored the winning goal!"
Suarez pointed to the Ballon d'Or trophy at Messi's feet and said: "Just accept your fate. In Camp Nou, the breathing of the boss is louder than your goals."
In the summer of 2017, Neymar finally decided not to be "the man behind Messi" anymore.
He emptied the Paris boss's safe and bought out his "Barcelona Experience Card" for 2.22 million euros.
Before leaving, Messi sent him a WhatsApp message: "Remember to take the hair gel stock from the locker room with you, otherwise the tax bureau's fine will be tracked to Paris."
Neymar replied with a crying and laughing emoji: "Don't worry, I have booked a personal hairstylist at the top of the Eiffel Tower!"
Until the eve of the 2018 Champions League, Barcelona fans were still arguing: "Was Neymar driven away by Paris's money, or was he blinded by Messi's starlight?"
The truth may be hidden in that famous scene - in the 2017 national derby, after Neymar assisted Messi to score the winning goal, the shot of the two smiling at each other was made into an emoticon package with the caption: "I am responsible for making history, and you are responsible for setting a transfer fee record."
Perhaps due to career considerations, Neymar left Barcelona, but the two have always maintained a very good personal relationship.
Before the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona started, when fans were arguing about the outcome of this important match, Neymar posted a photo of himself and Messi on his social media.
And wrote, In my mind, Messi will always be the best player.
He was later photographed by reporters appearing in the audience seats of the game.
After Barcelona lost to Atletico Madrid, reporters naturally found Neymar for an interview.
In response to reporters' questions, Neymar first said that football is a team sport, and Atletico Madrid's victory does not mean that Song Wen is stronger than Messi.
It can be said that he supports Messi to the end.
At that time, gossipy reporters even asked Neymar if he had the confidence to help Barcelona get revenge if they faced Atletico Madrid.
Neymar nodded confidently.
"I believe I can beat him because I love football more than he does."
Now, as fate would have it, no one expected that after Song Wen had signed Messi and Ronaldo, he would look for Neymar to settle accounts so soon.
Media reporters immediately found Neymar and interviewed him about his expectations for the Champions League quarter-finals.
This time, Neymar changed his tone slightly, saying "I will try my best to win the game."
Naturally, the reporters would not let Song Wen go. When asked by reporters what he thought of Neymar, Song Wen simply responded that he did not know the acrobat.
Song Wen's light words made the fans explode completely.
When Song Wen defined Neymar as "acrobatic", the Internet instantly fell into chaos.
Twitter programmer begs netizens: "Stop posting #Songwen doesn't understand art#! Our servers are already dreaming about dancing samba!"
The YouTube video "Neymar's 50 Greatest Rainbow Passes" was labeled "Acrobatics Tutorial", and Brazilian fans angrily said: "This is football! Not a Cirque du Soleil recruitment ad!"
The worst was EA Sports - that day, FIFA18 players collectively complained: "Why is there no 'Acrobatics' attribute in Neymar's ability value?"
The programmer worked overtime overnight and changed Neymar's skill description to: "Special skill: three and a half turns in the air and then land to apply for VAR."
As the war of words between fans of both sides on the Internet becomes more and more intense.
Some celebrities also started to leave.
Suarez retweeted the video and attached a classic picture of himself biting Chiellini: "This is called acrobatics, Mr. Song Wen."
However, under Suarez's comment section, netizens posted pictures of him having his front teeth broken by Song Wen.
Due to excessive ridicule, the Uruguayan chose to delete the post five minutes after it was posted.
To everyone's surprise, when Neymar's friends came out to support him, Messi, who was highly regarded by the fans, did not make any move.
This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Neymar fans.
You know, when you, Messi, suffered a terrorist attack by Song Wen, our Ma was the first to stand up and support you, the Coal Ball King.
I even went to Camp Nou to watch the game and cheer for you. But when the horse is in trouble, you, Messi, are the turtle?
Facing the accusations from Neymar's fans, Messi's fans angrily responded:
"Our Sissi is a gentle person who doesn't fight or compete. She will naturally pray for Neymar in her heart."
Compared to the chaos in Neymar's camp.
What is even more surprising is that Song Wen, who has always been criticized by fans for his poor character, now has an unprecedentedly united camp.
Atletico Madrid striker Griezmann launched the #toughmanchallenge# on Twitter, posting a video of himself squatting with a tire on his shoulder: "Some people train their hair, we train our muscles."
Captain Godin uploaded a GIF of Song Wen knocking Ramos away, with the caption: "The acrobat will request a stretcher at the first collision."
Song Wen's former club, Mr. Huang, a shareholder of Ipswich Town, even recorded a song specifically for Song Wen, mocking Neymar's net worth of 2.2 million. Why is it 0.2 more than Song Wen's?
There was a fierce battle on the Internet, it was so lively and chaotic that in the end, even non-human things got involved.
Brazilian pet blogger @Rio de Janeiro's Dog released a video: a golden retriever successfully completed a rainbow pass (with a toy ball) using its paws, with the tag #Dogs understand art better than you#.
The Madrid stray cat rescue station posted a surveillance video of a ginger cat knocking over a husky, with the caption: "This is the essence of football - the survival of the fittest!"
Even Neymar's pet turtle was killed. Netizens photoshopped a picture of its shell and engraved: "I crawl slower than Song Wen's tackle?"
Yiwu Small Commodity City in China launched the "Acrobatic Star" series overnight: Neymar's same colorful wig comes with Song Wen's quote stickers, and the slogan is: "Wear it, you will get 10 fouls and 1 red card!"
A hair salon in Paris launched the "Song Wen Tough Guy Package": shave the head and paint a football on it, with the slogan: "Leave the rainbow nowhere to land!" As a result, angry Brazilian tourists smashed the window with a can of hairspray.
The most damaging thing is that a certain condom brand took advantage of the popularity: "More durable than Neymar, more durable than Song Wen!" UEFA sent an urgent letter: "Please respect the purity of football!"
As the storm outside intensifies.
At this moment at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Song Wen was looking at the information in his hand.
There was a photo in the profile. It was a young man with a neat crew cut and his skin color showed that he was French.
French turtle, Mbappe.
In fact, compared to Neymar, Song Wen believes that in the match against Paris Saint-Germain, it is Mbappe who is more likely to pose a huge threat to Atletico's defense.
Neymar's samba football, facing the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid's defense, will only increase the number of times he rolls on the ground.
But Mbappe is different.
This kid's sprinting speed is enough to break through Atletico's defense in the most brutal way.
At this time, Mbappe actually has very strong abilities.
It's just that because he is in Ligue 1, the attention he receives is not that high, so some fans have never even heard of his name.
But in fact, he has already established himself in Paris Saint-Germain's forward line at a young age and has become an unshakable starter.
Otherwise, how could he be selected for this year's French team?
Most people probably got to know Mbappe at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The French turtle used his speed to play one amazing game after another, and ultimately helped the French team win the cup.
If Song Wen had not existed, Mbappe would have become the brightest superstar in the near future.
While his peers were still worrying about exams, the 16-year-old Mbappe had already started playing the "age crusher" in Monaco's first team - he was 347 days younger than Henry, crushing the youngest appearance record held by his predecessor for 21 years into pieces.
The following year, he scored a last-minute winner to take away Henry's trophy for "Youngest Goal".
With his own efforts, he transformed Monaco from a "stepping stone club for stars" into a European dark horse processing factory.
When he transferred to Paris for 2017 million euros in 1.8, the owner of Monaco probably gave the youth training camp a boost overnight: "Bring us a few more Mbappés and we'll go public directly!"
So until now, some fans still compare Song Wen and Mbappe, believing that these two players will become the two prides of football like Messi and Ronaldo now.
After all, Mbappe is only eighteen years old.
And Song Wen is about to turn eighteen.
The age difference between the two is not that big.
But they are also people who can shake the football world with just a stomp of their feet.
Simeone sat next to Song Wen. Seeing that Song Wen had been staring at Mbappe's information for a long time, he probably misunderstood and said with a smile:
"Mbappe is really good, but compared to a monster like you, he is like a baby who has just learned to walk."
After hearing Simone's words, Song Wen said:
"Don't underestimate this kid."
He had something in his mind that he didn't say.
Mbappe's happy life is really like that of a protagonist.
Seeing Song Wen so serious, Simone nodded and began to read the information carefully.
As the head coach of Atletico Madrid, he is certainly not a fool. He would only pay attention to Neymar worth 2.2 million and ignore Mbappe worth 1.8 million.
"Mbappe scored 21 goals and created 13 assists in the league games in the first half of the season, averaging one goal per game. His offensive ability is terrifying."
Simone glanced at Song Wen and continued:
"He scored his tenth goal in the Champions League against Bayern Munich and currently holds the record for the youngest player to score ten goals in the Champions League."
"But I think this record will change hands soon."
Song Wen thought for a while and said:
"We have to develop a tactic to prevent Mbappe's attack. This kid is too fast, and speed is not the strong point of our defenders."
After hearing Song Wen's words, Simeone had some different opinions.
"Then why don't I just use a bus formation? Speed won't have any effect against a bus formation."
Song Wen looked at the smug Simeone.
"Parking the bus again?"
Simeone nodded with a look of affirmation.
"Of course I do. I'm the best bus driver in the world!"
