Born to be a coach [soccer]

After Messi finished the pizza, he expressed his interest in the "nutritious meal" of Anton and Eriksson, but after tasting a little, he said, thank you for not being sensitive.

So Eriksson, the little wit, bragged about Anton's ability to cook Chinese food, especially the barbecue feast that he hadn't tasted yet.

Messi's eyes on Anton immediately became very eager.

"Okay, Leo," Anton saw that everyone was full, "let's talk about how to settle you down first."

"There is an empty room left by Hannes on my side!" Before Messi could speak, Eriksson interjected joyfully, saying, "It's been cleaned really well. The bedding has been washed once." Put it in the closet!"

Messi nodded and looked at Anton: "That's good!"

Anton was a little helpless: things were developing too fast, and he really couldn't accept it.

And the little clever ghost had already seen that Anton wanted to talk to Messi alone, so Eriksson got up decisively and said, "Boss, I'll go to the next door to take a look, and help Leo carry two pieces of luggage. "

A moment later, Eriksson went out, and the sound of the shutter and the flash rang immediately outside the door.Eriksson's beaming voice sounded: "No comment, no comment!"

This pride, this joy - saying "no comment" is also like an official announcement.

"Maybe you will all know it in a while!" Eriksson's words once again caused a commotion in the media.

In this half of the house, Anton looked down at his mobile phone.His mobile phone was almost blown up, and there was a row full of unanswered call lists.From Russell to Martin, to boss Short, and even Jorge Mendes in Portugal...

Anton didn't answer any of them.

His mind was spinning rapidly, trying to figure out the logic of this matter.

Just last night, Messi offered to form an "alliance" with him in the game, and today Messi himself came to Sunderland...Mirror mission?For some reason, Anton suddenly remembered this problem.

What happens in the virtual world also extends to the real world.

Is this what "mirroring" means?

"Leo, why did you come to Sunderland?" Anton raised his breath suddenly and asked quickly.

Messi was startled, reached out and scratched the back of his neck, thought for a while and said, "I heard that your place is relatively close to the server of 'Green Life'. It should be more enjoyable to play!"

After hearing this answer, Anton was a little dumbfounded.

If it is really announced to the outside world that Messi is "addicted to games and unable to extricate himself" and went to Sunderland just to play games, then... can the whole world believe it?

"Leo..." Anton stared at Messi, but stopped talking.His pair of clear eyes stared at Messi intently through the glasses. There seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and he seemed to have seen everything through.

"Besides, I promised to form an 'alliance' with you. You have such a heavy task this season. You are newly promoted and you have to play in the Europa League...the pressure must be very high!" Messi thought while secretly watching Anton's expression.

Before he made up his mind to form an alliance with Anton, he had already learned all about Anton and Sunderland.

Anton's eyes blinked, and he looked at the other party gently and intently, as if saying: To tell the truth...

This is his trump card, few people can resist this kind of "eye killing".

Messi: "... Well, mainly because of tax reasons. If I can work in England for six months, I can solve a lot of troubles..."

It is impossible for him to leave Barcelona, ​​it is impossible in this life.But if renting out for half a year can solve all the troubles, these six months are very worthwhile, very worthwhile.

Anyway, the Premier League team, no matter which one he rents out, will go to war, so it's better to come to this newly promoted team to try.

The most important thing is that the coach in front of him is more to his appetite.

Besides, on a whim last night, he formed an alliance with him, and if he formed an alliance, he should be more righteous...

Besides, he has been playing "Green Life" for a month, and he thinks it is really great. He heard that the European server is located here, so he flew directly here, and visited Newcastle's small airport for the first time in his life. ...

At this time, Anton looked away, picked up the phone, paused, and then turned back to look at Messi: "The club..."

"It's all agreed!" Messi said honestly. At that time, the gang of brothers in the club patted his chest and said that it would be up to them in the next six months, and they would never dig a hole.

Now this Barcelona team, even without Messi, will not fall behind for half a season.What's more, the first half of the UEFA Champions League is only a group stage, and it is absolutely impossible for Barcelona to fail to qualify.

"Where is your father..." Anton had sharp eyes and asked again.

Messi's agent is his father, Jorge Messi.Messi's personal brokerage affairs are all handled by this man.That's why Anton asked.

"There is no problem with Dad. It was he who suggested that I come to England." Messi replied in response.

Only then did Anton finally pick up his mobile phone, find a number and dial out: "Martin, yes, it's me!...Yes, at my house."

"Well, he's staying at my house!" Anton replied here.

Messi is opposite him, grinning happily: it feels so good to be accepted and taken in immediately by a stranger who I didn't know before.

"Yes... I need you to help him apply for a labor certificate... for six months... Yes, you heard it right!"

Messi smiled even more slyly, as if he had made a big joke with the world: when the whole world refused to believe it was true, this "impossible" just happened.

"Okay, please call me from the public relations department and the legal department. We will make an official announcement tonight...yes, just tonight...otherwise which fan can sleep?"

Anton finished the call, put down the phone, looked at Messi, and stretched out his hand: "Welcome!"

Messi also solemnly shook hands with Anton: This man, from the first moment he saw him, to clarifying the situation, to solving all the problems, was surprised for less than 30 seconds, and then he was all free and calm.

Messi is willing to believe that his six-month decision was right.So he nodded with a smile and said, "You already said that last night!"

He was referring to Anton's welcome speech in "Life in the Green" last night. In Messi's view-then and now are completely the same thing.

"By the way, this upstairs on your side is a game room dedicated to playing games, right? Let's discuss how to play in the simulator for the next two seasons!" Messi pointed upstairs—if he said Indulging in games, unable to extricate himself, actually makes a little sense.

The official website and official tweet of the Sunderland Club announced the good news at midnight: Golden Globe winner and Barcelona star Messi joined Sunderland on loan for a period of six months.

Just wait until tomorrow morning, when Messi completes the physical examination, all the procedures will be completed, and Messi will become a "Sunderland" person in this short period of six months.

The official announcement has only text, no photos.

Because the photos haven't been taken yet, and Mr. Messi's Sunderland jersey hasn't had time to be made yet.

But the whole network is noisy.

Sunderland's official Twitter account sent countless comments, most of them were very skeptical: "Dude, no pictures, no truth! How can we believe that your small club is telling the truth if we don't see Boss May in real life. of?"

Sunderland's official tweet: "Then go watch TV!"

Television interviews on Mayswood Road continued through the night.The reporters earlier photographed Eriksson helping with luggage, and after waiting for two hours, they photographed Anton personally sending Messi to "check in" next door.This 30-second video was repeatedly broadcast on various channels.

After midnight, the reporters were extremely excited when they received the news that Sunderland had finally made an official announcement. Someone said loudly into the microphone: "Sunderland has confirmed the joining of Messi! My God, what on earth did they do?" Did it?"

"Six months - enough time for a team with potential to perform miracles!"

"Although the loan period is only six months, we must remember that last season, Sunderland went from the relegation zone to the Premier League in less than six months!"

"But what is the appeal of a football club in this northeastern industrial city? Let Messi, who has never left FC Barcelona, ​​join him?"

"It can't be because of the personal charm of that head coach!"

Following this topic, the director thoughtfully cut out a few "beautiful photos" of Anton directing the game on the side of the field.

"We don't have any detailed information about this loan deal yet. According to the evaluation of our sources in Sunderland, Sunderland is likely to choose not to disclose any details of this transaction..." The reporter stated to the camera solemnly, as if They are really like an informant in Sunderland, "But the only thing we are sure of is that Messi himself is here, and now lives in this house behind us!"

The local media in Sunderland has the unique advantage of being able to directly photograph Anton's home.

Shortly after Sunderland's official announcement, FC Barcelona immediately announced the news on their official website: their head star, Leo Messi, will leave briefly for six months to experience life in England... …and the weather.

The fans were confused: Is it really just to experience life?

Barcelona's official Twitter account put a photo of Barcelona players gathered together to send blessings to Messi:

"Old man, we will not let you down! After six months, remember to return to the 'Camp Nou' with 'brightness'." The tweet was a pun, and the Sunderland Football Club, which owns the Stadium of Light, was passed by. .

Messi also posted a selfie with a red and white striped jersey (borrowed from Eriksson) hanging on the wall behind him, with the caption: "New rented house !"

Atletico Madrid fans immediately opened fire: "I didn't admit the wrong jersey! Boss Mei really went to England and didn't come to our Atletico Madrid?"

There is another team with red and white stripes in the Premier League - Stoke City. Its fans also expressed dazzled: "Don't pay attention to me, let me fly in my dream for a while!"

Messi had to resend one, and this time he took a photo of Sunderland's team logo with the text: "Good morning, Sunderland!"

It was already two o'clock, and it was almost dawn.

——This is finally a real hammer!

Sunderland folks said: It seems that we can finally come down from the tree.

The author has something to say: I checked the information last night and found it very late. I originally found the UEFA regulations, but I closed the page by mistake, and I can’t find it again. My impression is that the regulations for participating in the UEFA Europa League and Champions League are probably It was reformed in 2013. Before 2013, players who had participated in the UEFA Europa League could participate in the UEFA Champions League with other teams after transfer or loan. After 2013, they could not.

It is true that there are tax benefits for short-term work in the UK (less than 24 months), but it is not known whether it is also applicable to big-name stars like Messi.This "tax" reason should be regarded as a private setting.
