"17 goals in 8 rounds? Both of them have this stat?"

In the Manchester United locker room, Ronaldo couldn't help but curse.

"FXXK!"

Currently, he had scored 13 goals in 9 Premier League matches.

This was already very impressive.

Even Robin van Persie, the Arsenal forward in great form in the Premier League, only had 8 goals.

But even so, he was still far behind the goal stats of Suker and Messi in La Liga.

Ronaldo cared deeply about his stats.

Whether in the Champions League or the league.

But with Manchester United's declining competitiveness, he was under a lot of scoring pressure.

Especially since he had outperformed Rooney in their competition; Ronaldo was now the undisputed top scorer at Manchester United.

But even so, in the Premier League, at Manchester United, he still couldn't produce higher numbers.

Modric also looked at Ronaldo. Since the start of this season, Ronaldo had become visibly more anxious.

But Modric understood Ronaldo!

There was no other way!

The players he saw as rivals, Suker and Messi, were thriving in La Liga, constantly beating various records.

But Ronaldo was still lagging behind in terms of stats.

Although he wanted to say it was a matter of league style, his pride wouldn't let him make excuses.

He really wanted to beat these two guys once.

But in the current situation, it seemed impossible at the declining Manchester United.

Since the start of this season, especially after detailed talks with Ferguson, Ronaldo's desire to leave had grown stronger.

Manchester United's declining competitiveness was a fact.

And if he wanted to score more goals, he could only seek a transfer.

Modric looked at Ronaldo's furrowed brow and couldn't help but shake his head.

He sighed inwardly.

Thank goodness he was a midfielder and didn't care about goal stats. The competition among strikers was truly terrifying!

"Our match against Barcelona is on December 11th, which is the 16th round of the league. There are still 7 rounds until then!"

"It's the last match before Christmas again!"

Actually, there was also a 17th-round match on December 18th, but since it coincided with Real Madrid's Club World Cup schedule, it was postponed and would be made up after the winter break.

Suker looked at the league fixture list.

If he wanted to break the 50+ goal mark by the end of the season.

Then he must score at least 25+ goals in the first half of the season!

That meant in 19 league games, his goal count must exceed 25, even 30 goals, to have hope of breaking 50+.

After all, goal production tends to drop in the second half of the season; Suker had to consider this.

The start was good now: 17 goals in 8 rounds.

There was still a 13-goal gap to reach 30 goals by the halfway point.

And there were 11 league games left.

That meant Suker needed to score thirteen goals in eleven league games.

The task was arduous, but not impossible. If he continued his current form, Suker could complete the task.

Suker didn't remember too many details, like how many goals Messi could score in 19 games.

But it probably wouldn't exceed 30 goals in the first half.

For now, Suker's target was to exceed 50 goals for the season, so he had to perform even better.

After all, no one knew if Messi could explode under pressure!

The current goal was to lead the scorer's chart ahead of Messi before the 16th round.

"This is the 'Goal Frenzy' program, I'm your old friend !"

"In the past eight rounds, Suker and Messi have scored 17 goals each. Their average goals per game have reached over two. With such crazy performances, their spectacular show continues!"

"This season, Messi is like a hungry tiger, greedily demanding goals, using his brilliant skills to breach the opponent's goal again and again!"

"Barcelona's form has also reached a new level thanks to Messi's outstanding performance!"

"At the same time, Real Madrid's top star, three-time Ballon d'Or winner Suker, is also charging towards his fourth Ballon d'Or. This season, Suker remains incredibly fearsome; his form has reached new heights. Messi's outbreak has indirectly stimulated Suker, leading both to deliver an astounding goal-scoring competition!"

"What kind of performances will they deliver for us in the upcoming matches? Let's wait and see!"

"Undoubtedly, this season is still one to look forward to!"

With the performances of Suker and Messi, the "Goal Frenzy" program also gained widespread popularity among fans.

Facing their form, fans also looked forward to who would win the half-season Golden Boot.

What stats could they produce before the winter window?

On October 23rd, Real Madrid away against Malaga.

"Suker!!!!! World-class goal!! A brace, he helped Real Madrid defeat Malaga 3:1!"

15 rounds, nearly 30 goals.

The goal-scoring performances of Suker and Messi shook the whole of Europe.

Especially in the Spanish league, fans called Barcelona and Real Madrid's matches goal feasts.

Both teams showed terrifying dominance in the league.

Real Madrid, 14-0-1, 42 points, top of the table.

Barcelona, 12-3-0, 39 points, second only to Real Madrid.

Suker and Messi led the scorer's list in first and second place with 26 and 25 goals respectively.

Atletico Madrid's Falcao was performing well with 14 goals in 15 league games.

In the past, this would have certainly made him famous.

But this season, he encountered monsters like Suker and Messi.

Their goal-scoring performances completely stole the spotlight from his highlight season.

This was the sadness and helplessness of an ordinary player facing the top superstars.

His performance wasn't bad!

But he encountered Suker and Messi this season.

Facing such a huge goal gap, he didn't even have the mindset to resist on the scorer's list.

In the past, he would definitely have targeted the Golden Boot for the season, but this season, it was completely hopeless!

As for Suker and Messi, their performances had become the focus of the entire Europe.

While they constantly competed, wildly racked up goals, and alternately top on the scorer's list,

the media also cried out, who could stop them?

But the reality was that no one could stop them.

Perhaps only direct confrontation could stop them.

And this was also an exciting point.

On December 11th, La Liga 16th round, Barcelona home against Real Madrid.

Direct confrontation between the two superstars.

Also a head-to-head between the top two on the table.

Currently, Barcelona trailed Real Madrid by three points. They only needed to win this match to level the points.

And Messi, playing at home, could also use the home advantage to overtake the scorer's list!

It could be said that at this moment, the entire Barcelona team was eagerly preparing.

At the same time, Real Madrid was also preparing intensely.

Surprisingly, this time Mourinho did not come out to mock or publicize widely.

Probably Florentino's talk had an effect, making Mourinho quiet down for a while.

In such an atmosphere, this El Clasico.

The confrontation between Suker and Messi, the two top scorers, also received widespread attention.

Before the match even started, a large number of media from Europe and even the world had gathered in Barcelona and Madrid.

As the two most prestigious clubs now, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona had become a global focus.

If the most successful club in the early 21st century was Manchester United,

then now, the most watched, most pursued had become Real Madrid and Barcelona.

And among them, the competition between Suker and Messi played a significant role.

"15 rounds, 26 goals!" Srna looked at the data on his phone and couldn't help but grimace; "There are still four rounds until the halfway point, might reach 30 goals by halfway, that's just crazy!"

He had never seen such ridiculous guys!

And there were two of them!

One Suker, one Messi!

These two were both charging towards the 30-goal mark in the first half!

Damn it!

Many strikers can't even score 30 goals in a whole season!

These two on the contrary, scoring goals was like eating and drinking.

Suker was still 4 goals away from 30.

He had no doubt that with Suker's current form, he could score four in four rounds, maybe even complete the task early.

Not only Srna, but Kaka, Benzema, and Bale nearby also looked bewildered.

As current and former strikers, they knew very well how hard it was to score goals.

But Suker and Messi, 26 and 25 goals in 15 rounds, was simply absurd.

The 16th-round El Clasico, they felt it was like a shootout between Suker and Messi.

Could the defenses on both sides really stop these two?

What a joke!

Anyway, Srna had no confidence in stopping Messi.

Similarly, Barcelona couldn't stop Suker either.

So, they could only try to limit them, and see which of these two scorers could score more.

Suker also looked at the data network in his hand and nodded slightly.

It was pretty much as he thought.

Everything was still going according to plan.

But Messi, this guy, was really like a piece of sticky plaster, simply couldn't shake him off.

26 goals in 15 rounds, Suker had already given his all.

It could even be said he was playing more desperately than in any previous season.

Even so, he still couldn't shake off this guy.

But fortunately, things were still going according to plan, and his form was maintained well, even showing a slight upward trend.

But the problem remained: he had to score more goals before the second half of the season. After all, entering the second half, pressures from the Champions League, Copa del Rey, etc., would come one after another. Trying to balance the Champions League and also score goals in the league would become very difficult.

At the same time, the opponent's resistance would become more intense; those teams struggling to avoid relegation would do anything in the relegation battle!

However, Messi over there absolutely wasn't having it easy either.

After all, as the chaser, once he fell behind Suker, it would be hard to catch up again.

It could be said that Messi was also gritting his teeth and closely following Suker.

The "Goal Frenzy" program team, with Suker and Messi wildly padding stats, became extremely popular.

This episode invited Spanish coach Del Bosque.

Facing the camera, the old coach Del Bosque still had that honest and simple appearance.

"With the outbreak of Suker and Messi, the entire La Liga has entered into discussions on how to limit these two. Many fans have also contributed strategies, and opposing teams have used many extreme defensive methods, but this only works for a short time. After they get familiar, they can still score goals!"

Host Bizguet looked at Del Bosque: "As a professional coach, how do you view this problem?"

"There's no way!" Del Bosque directly shook his head; "There's no way to stop them, no way to limit them. We can only wait for their form to naturally decline!"

"In the history of football, there have been many super stars who delivered amazing performances, like Pele and Maradona. And now, Suker and Messi have both entered their absolute peak period. As we have seen, simply no one can limit them."

"Even many La Liga teams have started adopting tactics to concede fewer goals, even extreme multi-player marking defensive strategies. But as a team, these two attract too much defensive attention, causing other players to shine."

"So, there's simply no way to limit them!"

Del Bosque said decisively.

Bizguet continued to ask: "Then how do you view the performances of Suker and Messi? Who is more outstanding?"

Del Bosque turned to look at Bizguet .

This was digging a pit for him!

Under the influence of Suker and Messi, saying who was better wouldn't gain approval.

Even though Suker now had more honors, and he personally leaned more towards Suker.

Many people liked Messi, thinking Messi played more beautifully.

But Del Bosque, as a coach, preferred Suker.

Del Bosque was vague about this question and glossed over it.

Bizguet also knew he couldn't dig out too much, so he had to find another topic.

"A while ago, Xavi revealed that they had proposed Messi join the Spanish national team. Also, when Suker first entered the top five European leagues, Real Madrid also intended for him to join... If both Suker and Messi were members of the Spanish national team, how would our strength become?"

Hearing this, Del Bosque was stunned.

This question, he really hadn't thought about it.

If both Suker and Messi were part of Spain.

They could occupy the two wings; these two flanks would be the world's most powerful wing combination.

However, problems would also arise: how to distribute resources between these two?

Whether Suker or Messi, both consumed resources.

They both needed ball possession!

Favoring one over the other was obviously not good.

Neither Messi nor Suker would take it lying down.

Especially the latter; this guy had once been involved in sideline the head coach; he was not an easy character.

What if one played in front and one behind?

Would Messi be willing to stay away from the goal?

Or let Suker stay away from the goal? Possible?

Del Bosque stroked his chin and actually started thinking about it seriously.

This might be his happiest contemplation.

Bizguet looked at Del Bosque's troubled expression and quickly changed the topic:

"Alright, obviously our head coach doesn't know how to answer, and this can't become reality anyway. After all, they are already playing for their respective national teams. This can only be our beautiful imagination!"

"Next question, Mr. Del Bosque, we..."

Del Bosque; "Can only take one!"

Bieber was stunned; "What?"

"I said we can only take one!" Del Bosque said seriously: "If both are there, the team will collapse!"

Bizguet stared blankly at Del Bosque.

He thought Del Bosque was unwilling to say more, but never expected this guy had thought so much about it.

"This..." Bizguet's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile; "Then would you take Suker or Messi?"

Del Bosque; "."
