Two generations of kings at Camp Nou, Messi and Ronaldo – Lies with Laporta (Part 1)
Luo was born in Porto Alegre in 1980. It is the home of the famous Brazilian barbecue BBQ.
Before the arrival of the Europeans, Porto Alegre was also the land of the Gaucho people.
Gaucho is active, enthusiastic, brave and good at war, and very hospitable.
And Xiao Luo, who has the blood of "Gaucho Cowboy", is born with a free, casual, informal personality.
Gaucho cowboy
Of course, Xiao Luo's maverick personality, in the eyes of the Catalans, is completely in conflict with his own culture.
But when their "opponent" is Ronaldo, even Laporta has to rely on the prestige of Brazil's double Footballer of the Year to enhance his reputation! Therefore, the Catalan media also had to offer praise when Xiao Luo was in the middle of the day.
This comes from the collision between Catalan culture and Brazilian culture.
When Laporta or the little boy of the team's top brass shows up on the camp Nou training ground,
Ronaldo's Barca teammates are happy to interact with the children at the top.
The players are also very willing to go up and teach two moves.
It is convenient to better close the distance with the "leaders"
Except, of course, for Xiao Luo
The scene was unmoved. He felt that this move was a waste of time. He never even went up to talk.
This kind of xiao Luo, who is outside the team culture, also developed for him to the later,
Confrontation with the whole of Barcelona, and La Masia.
The finale, which cannot be left from the main entrance of Camp Nou, lays the foundation.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that
As Roselle's "brother", Xiao Luo naturally did not want to go to the circle of friends of Catalans to flatter those Catalonias.
And Roselle is a man who never identified with Cruyff as the soul of Barca, a man who was always ready to take La Porta off the horse.
This is a completely different point from Cruyff's original approach.
When Cruyff first arrived, he was an "outsider" with the top transfer fee. Naturally, the Catalan media could not help but examine and criticize him.
Cruyff is also at a loss in the face of Catalonia's harsh culture.
He later chose to become the son-in-law of the Catalans. Later, it also became the soul of the Barça people.
Cruyff, who is now behind the scenes, has also been in charge of everything in the La Masia youth academy that he has transformed.
Cruyff (La Masian forces), La Porta, Catalan media, and the three forces created the black hand that Little Luo left
Xiao Luo's small belly has become the target of media criticism
After 2007, Barca's record suffered a downturn. Barca's seven-time dream of a crown was dashed.
La Porta is high-profile and overly high standard. Barca, which lost the Club World Cup, was under tremendous pressure from top to bottom.
And the nature is optimistic, "no heart and no lungs" Xiao Luo is not very concerned about this. Still going my own way as before.
In the past, Xiao Luo had a general performance of "heaven under the gods", which made the Catalan media unable to say anything about his "bad impression"!
But with the 2006 World Cup, Brazil team returned home. Barca then suffered a decline in record. As the core player of the two teams, Xiao Luo was naturally grasped by the media and magnified.
During the World Cup, he was photographed by the media as Luo's brother and agent Assis traveling back and forth between clubs. (Actually, as the best player in the world, his agent is right to do so.) ）
Subsequently, Xiao Luo's relationship with the club began to gradually become delicate. And Luo Jr. is also more unscrupulous in seeking excitement outside the stadium.
Many teammates feel that every day the media from all over the world are a little bored with Xiao Luo's interview.
He was ridiculed for advertising his mother and brother to appear on camera. The most crucial thing is that Xiao Luo has become indifferent in the doubts of many Barca media, always remaining silent before and after training, ignoring his teammates.
And Rijkaard acquiesced to the "laziness" of Ronaldo on the pitch.
In the face of the media from time to time, he criticizes and criticizes
Unfortunately, Xiao Luo chose to confront himself without any mental defenses, and then, depressed.
And these problems are the storylines that some media and Barça executives are happy to hear.
La Porta
In Laporta's high-profile statement to the media that "Xiao Luo will never be sold",
He was the first to cut the team's head coach, Rijkaard.
Because of his protection of his beloved disciple, he eventually left the city where he had created miracles.
At the time, everyone knew that behind all this was the full support of Cruyff, who was regarded as the godfather of football by Catalonia.
The reason why Luo Xiaoluo was not accepted by Cruyff and was not trusted by Laporta,
One of the most crucial reasons is that he is the Roselle department.
Roselle
Xiao Luo lingered between the nightclub and the woman, causing the state to decline, and finally was swept out by the club.
This is obviously a good external excuse.
In 2007, Roselle, who had always been close to the Daily Sports,
After no tacit agreement with The Daily Sports, (Cruyff also collaborated with the newspaper before),
Roselle became a partner in Daily Sports' rival, Sport of the World.
In the beginning, Laporta's relationship with Xiao Luo was delicate.
After all, he needs to use Xiao Luo's fame to defend his own interests.
But soon, he stopped overly protecting Xiao Luo.
After Eto'o, Edmilson attacked Ronaldo, Laporta and some of his colleagues,
Of course, there is also the La Masian system (Cruyff system) gradually has a "abolition" plan.
The specific implementers, of course, are "Daily Sports" and his newspaper group.
The president of the newspaper group also officially issued the "abolish luo" order...
Xiao Luo is passive and sluggish, Xiao Luo is absent-minded, Xiao Luo wants to smoke his heart, and Xiao Luo is nostalgic for the special reports of nightclubs
The only purpose is to make the fans stop feeling Ronaldinho
Gradually convincing fans that Barca must start a dynasty without Ronaldo.
Because they were sure to find the leader of the dynasty, Harvey, Messi. And Guardiola.
All are of the red-rooted La Masian lineage, or Catalans.
As Luo's successor, Messi faced the media with a completely different reaction from the whole team and the top management.
Rijkaard, who was protecting Little Luo at every turn, was out of class.
Messi, as a Barca "rookie" level player, has been wronged by big brother, but he has been tacitly approved by the whole team and the media.
"I will go out of my way to tell you that in my heart, Ronnie is the best player in the world. I can't understand why so much criticism is directed at him. ”
On Christmas Eve in 2008, Messi and his father were chatting with a reporter at the pre-match hotel in Villarreal.
Messi didn't join their conversation and swiped his phone the whole time.
This reporter was once Xiao Luo's "royal" reporter and had interviewed Xiao Luo no less than 40 times. He also wrote a book for Xiao Luo.
He is a former "friend" of Xiao Luo and his whole family.
But in the war without smoke, the reporter chose to stand against Xiao Luo.
I am Catalan and my heart belongs only to Barcelona. In the past, when I killed Luo again and again, because Barca needed pure blood, a person who did not want to give blood and sweat to Camp Nou had to be exiled.
This reporter once said so!
I received the first Christmas greeting from Xiao Luo after the breakup, and in fact it was also the first Christmas after we separated. It can be felt that Xiao Luo did not regain his pride in the Nou Camp era in San Siro, and the 100,000 people called him in unison, and he did not particularly care about it, because he no longer bore all the burden alone, and naturally did not have to bear all the scolding alone. On Christmas Eve 3 days later, on behalf of myself, with a trembling heart, I sent a text message to Xiao Luo" "Ronaldinho, I don't want to get your forgiveness and your family, I only hope that after any goal you score in the future, you can hear the applause of a Barça person, and there will be more people with me to bless you", a few minutes later, Xiao Luo replied "I wish you and your family happiness, I want to get everyone's forgiveness." ”
In 2021, Messi, who witnessed Luo Jr. being forced to leave camp Nou, was seen firsthand.
Suffered the same lies as Barca and La Porta
As well as the media's same "verbal criticism", only this time the media seems to be much gentler for their prince.
Even if Messi is a pure-blooded La Masian family, what about it?
In the face of the interests of the club, all individual players are not worth talking about.
