The renewal of Messi and Li Mingyu's contracts has completely reassured Barcelona.
There is good news for the defense. Premier League, the central defender of the powerful Manchester City team, Rick·Garcia, after the end of this season, after fulfilling the contract of the Manchester City team, came to Barcelona without a visa.
After all, Rick·Garcia is Espanyol who was born in Barcelona. Being able to return to his hometown to play for Barcelona, and being next to his idol Messi, Rick·Garcia feels very honored.
In fact, the contracts of Rick·Garcia and Barcelona were basically finalized in April, and both parties had already reached an agreement.
The arrival of Garcia can make Barcelona's weak defense line strong again.
Also arriving with Garcia was Messi's old friend from Argentina National Team, Aguero.
Aguero, who also fulfilled his contract with the Manchester City team, came to Barcelona and signed a two-year contract.
As a substitute for the center, the 33-year-old Aguero said that he can still play.
Liverpool's midfielder Wijnaldum also joined Barcelona with a visa exemption.
Barcelona's poor financial situation prevents them from freeing up enough funds to operate those big-name players.
There are also some small-scale reinforcements to make Barcelona's player configuration more reasonable.
This summer's wealthy families are also making frequent moves.
After Real Madrid lost all four major players last season, it also directly won Haaland at a price of 150 million euros.
The transfer price of Haaland has also become the benchmark in this year's transfer market.
Real Madrid frequently takes action and looks very wealthy, reminding people again of the team from the Galacticos era.
Li Mingyu returned to the training base of La Masia.
To Li Mingyu's surprise, Messi and Aguero walked in together, talking and laughing.
After seeing Li Mingyu, Messi happily greeted him, then pulled Aguero and introduced the two to each other.
Aguero and Li Mingyu have also been famous for a long time, so they shook hands.
Li Mingyu said with a smile, "Leo, congratulations, you won the championship of Copa America!"
Yes, this time Copa America and Messi showed great power, leading Argentina National Team all the way through the competition, and finally won the championship of Copa America.
And Messi also won the Copa America Golden Boot and Best Player awards with 8 goals.
This is also the first time in Messi's career that Copa America has won the championship.
This championship is of great significance to him.
Today's Copa America is the same as World Cup, which has been changed to every four years.
Messi, who is already 34 years old, has almost no chance of participating in the next Copa America.
The eternal pain in Messi's heart is his three runner-up finishes on Copa America and his last runner-up finish on World Cup.
This is also where Messi is criticized.
The name of a system player has always hung over Messi's head.
This time Copa America won the championship, completely dispelling this haze.
Messi's performance on the court fully demonstrated his combination of team spirit and individual heroism. He scored 8 goals, 4 direct assists and countless threatening balls, which made everyone worship in front of Messi.
After everyone arrived, head coach Koeman also brought his coaching team to the training base.
Seeing how some players have put on weight, Koeman also has a headache. It seems that everyone has indulged themselves this summer.
Physical test!
Except for Messi and Aguero, two players who participated in Copa America, all other players failed the physical examination.
Before Koeman could curse loudly, the assistant coach handed over a physical examination report with a strange look on his face.
Koeman took it over and took a look, and almost said "fuck".
This is a very beautiful physical examination report. When I look at the name, Koeman, I see it is Li Mingyu.
Koeman looked at Li Mingyu carefully, looked at Li Mingyu who had a somewhat dark skin, and asked, "Li, it seems you didn't choose to spend the day and night this summer!"
Li Mingyu chuckled and said, "Sir, I am only 19 years old!"
Koeman shook his head and said, "Young man, at your age and with such excellent results last season, you have not lost yourself, which is amazing!"
Based on Li Mingyu's physical test report, Koeman scolded everyone bloody.
Now Koeman, with his results last season, has completely secured his position as head coach.
The one-month closed training made Barcelona's big-name players complain endlessly.
On August 25, 2021, the UEFA Champions League lottery ceremony and UEFA award ceremony were held at Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.
FC Barcelona sent head coaches Koeman and Messi.
Due to Barcelona's poor performance in the Champions League competition in recent years, Barcelona still won nothing at this UEFA award ceremony.
In last season's Champions League finals, Bayern Munich and Liverpool had a wonderful showdown at Saint Petersburg Stadium.
As a result, Liverpool relied on Salah's world wave to defeat Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich 1:0 and became the champion of UEFA Champions League in 2021.
With this championship, Liverpool, who ultimately ranked fifth in the Premier League league, also got a ticket for the Champions League main game next season.
Therefore, this season, Premier League team, there will be five teams participating in the Champions League main competition.
Not only did Premier League have five teams participating in the Champions League main competition, but so did La Liga, because the Villarreal team won the championship of UEFA Europa League and also entered Champions League.
UEFA's Player of the Year was awarded to Salah who scored the winning goal in the Champions League final.
Liverpool's head coach Jurgen-Klopp was elected UEFA's Coach of the Year.
Liverpool has won almost all awards, and this year is another bumper year for Liverpool.
After the award ceremony of UEFA, the most exciting moment is finally coming.
In 2021-2022, the lottery ceremony of UEFA Champions League.
Li Mingyu, who was sitting at home watching the live TV broadcast, was also very excited because this was his first time representing the team in Champions League's game.
If you can get into a relatively easy group, then for you, you can accumulate experience in the European competition through group matches, which is a very comfortable thing.
Marchetti, the executive secretary of UEFA, appeared on the TV screen.
In the Champions League lottery ceremony over the years, he was basically responsible for it personally.
Marchetti began to explain the rules of this lottery ceremony to everyone. The most important thing is the principle of avoidance.
The Champions League play-offs ended in the middle of this week, and 6 teams were decided to join the main draw. Together with the 26 teams that had already been confirmed to enter the main draw, they formed the 32-team Champions League main draw for today's draw.
