Prominence in Football Community

After Iniesta ran on the field, Messi took the initiative to find him, and then took off the captain's armband worn on his arm and handed it to him.

Because of some personnel rotations in this game, Messi wore the captain's armband.

Originally, he was also one of the team's three captains. Before Harvey left the team, he was the third captain. After Xavi left the team, Iniesta became the first captain and Messi became the second captain.

Iniesta did not start this game, Messi put on the captain's armband.

Although Iniesta is now on the field, Messi actually does not need to hand over the captain's armband unless he is replaced.

The captain's armband represents many things, but it is not just a decoration. Once worn, it means responsibility and pressure.

It's also an honor.

Many players will be able to become captains, as an honor. So unless the head coach said it, the person who wears the captain's armband will rarely hand over the armband on his arm to his teammates in the middle of the game, even if this person is the original captain.

And the captain who played halfway wouldn't ask for the captain's armband. It's really too low EQ to do so...

So Iniesta didn't intend to wear the captain's armband at first.

But unexpectedly, Messi ran up to him, took off the captain's armband without saying a word, and stuffed it into his hand.

"No need, Leo." Iniesta wanted to decline.

"No, you are more suitable to be the captain than me. Since you are back, you should be allowed to wear it." After speaking, Messi turned and ran.

Iniesta, holding the captain's armband, looked at his back and sighed.

Perhaps this responsibility made Messi feel the weight and made his steps heavy. That's why he can't wait to hand over the captain's armband so that he can charge forward without any worries.

As for myself, what I have to do is very simple, that is, to send the football to his feet.

Thinking of this, Iniesta put on the captain's armband and became Barcelona's field captain.

"Messi handed over the captain's armband to Iniesta, but it's the right thing to do. Being captain has a lot of responsibilities.

He must return to the defense more actively, but as the team's assaulter, it is completely unnecessary. It not only wastes energy, but also prevents Messi from appearing in the position where he should appear in the first place when Barcelona needs to counterattack. So it is also a good thing to hand over the captain's armband to Iniesta now, so that he can concentrate on attacking in the frontcourt without thinking about other things..." Jose Maria said.

Messi's performance in the club and the national team is very different. There has always been a saying that Messi will be the captain of the Argentine national team, and being the captain will drag Messi, because Messi is actually not suitable for leaders in terms of character. The reason why he was able to be the captain in Argentina is entirely because he is the strongest and the most famous.

But the selection of the captain is not based on who is the most famous and the strongest. There are many captains who are not the most outstanding one in the team.

Letting Messi be the captain is to force a very heavy burden on his shoulders. How can Messi, who is carrying such a burden, show his lost steps?

Everyone admires Messi not for his leadership, but for his genius performances, and these performances do not require the halo bonus of the captain's armband.

For others, the captain's armband is a halo, but for Messi it may be a negative BUFF.

Now that Iniesta is on the field, Barcelona's midfield has become the strongest form, and Messi has also unloaded the burden, so he can concentrate on hitting Atletico Madrid's goal without distraction.

Maybe Barcelona's counterattack is really about to start.

But seven minutes later, in the 62nd minute, Atletico Madrid launched an attack. Barcelona's right back Alves made a mistake when making a clearance and kicked the football directly to Gao Zheng's feet.

After Gao Zheng received the ball on the penalty area line, he took a low shot directly.

A change of line occurred when the football hit the leg of Pique who came up to defend.

This caught Ter Stegen by surprise. The football fell a little bit farther than he expected, so he avoided the palm of his pounce, and then rushed into the goal!

"Wow! Hat-trick! Hat-trick!! Gao scored a hat-trick in this game!! Such Gao is completely unstoppable! In the first game of the new season, he scored a hat-trick for himself Good head!!"

Gao Zheng, who scored the third goal, was finally willing to celebrate seriously. He first made a "thank you" gesture towards Alves, and then ran towards the corner flag area, towards the Atletico Madrid fans in the south stand They shook their fists and answered their cheers.

"Ha! Who would have thought before the game? This game should have been evenly matched, but now it has turned into a one-sided game... In the 63rd minute of the game, Atletico Madrid led Barcelona 3-0 at home. You know In the league championship last season, Atletico Madrid only defeated Barcelona 2:1..."

The cheers of "High! High! High!" sounded over the Calderon Stadium, and then the cheers turned into singing. This is a song specially composed for Gao Zheng by the fans.

Although this is only the second season of joining Atletico Madrid, Gao Zheng completely conquered the fans here in just one season.

At this time, no one will discuss whether the 75 million euros spent to introduce him was too expensive.

For Atletico Madrid fans, just the league championship last season is fully worth Gao Zheng's worth.

Every outstanding performance of Gao Zheng, every honor he brings to the team, and every happiness he brings to the fans is a bonus.

Looking at it this way, one would feel that Gao Zheng was brought in for only seventy-five million yuan, which is really cheap. Cerezo made one of the most successful transfers in the club's history.

Gao Zheng's goal made Atletico Madrid fans ecstatic. Although the Super Cup is a two-round match, many Atletico Madrid fans have already begun to think about winning the cup in advance.

The blow to Barcelona fans was very deep.

After all, they thought again and again that Barcelona's counterattack was about to start.

It turned out that every time they thought so, all they got was the bitter result of conceding another goal.

This makes the Barcelona fans very depressed-what about the counterattack? When are you coming!

The Catalan commentator was silent. He was afraid that if he said another word to cheer for Barcelona, ​​Gao Zheng would score another goal...

He really wondered if he was being targeted by Gao Zheng.

For the great cause of Barcelona's counterattack, he should keep a low profile...

Although conceded three goals, this is a two-round home and away game. Barcelona may not necessarily win this game. As long as they can score goals, they can retain hope for the second round.

The counterattack can start at any time, even if it is the last minute of this game, it is not too late!
