What kind of person is Murray? Even someone like Zorin who doesn't care much about football news has heard of it. This guy who played football for 2 or 3 years is now the darling of the entire Premier League. Murray, who started at Middlesbrough, moved to Arsenal after half a season, and he is now an integral part of the club. If there's one thing that bothers Arsenal's manager, it's that Murray is a guy who can cause more or less trouble as long as he's on the pitch. One of the most famous was that in one game, when the referee turned a blind eye to two malicious fouls against Murray, Murray found a scramble and sent the opposing team, the football and the referee off the field. Murray's yellow and red cards have never been broken, but because of his strong physical fitness and impact, although the club continued to pay various fines for him, he was still sent back to the court as soon as the ban ended. After all, this guy's shè goal success rate is as high as 90%, and as long as he rounds the shè goal within 20 meters in front of the goal, at a speed of more than 170 kilometers per hour, even if the goalkeeper has a judgment, he has to consider whether he has to risk injury to save.
However, both fouls and red and yellow cards are very subjective things, especially since everyone knows that Murray has a very poor relationship with the Premier League refereeing committee. But, privately, Murray is an easy person to get close to, whether with coaches, teammates, club officials or fans. Privately, it was a little difficult for everyone to understand why this usually good old man would become so fierce on the court.
However, when Zolin learned that such a person was also a druid, he became somewhat interested. The position of "Panther" means that the guy who has been judged by many sports magazines, journalists, and coaches to be among the top stars for just fixing his temper problem is also his own subordinate within the Druid Council.
And the combination of these things made this person who seemed to be a little anxious to see Zuo Lin become vivid in Zuo Lin's eyes. And Zuo Lin also became interested in this guy.
"When can you still come here to play?" After Bennett, the butler of the "Owl", loaded their luggage into the trunk of the black Sè Bentley who was going to take them to the airport, Yan Yingxue was still a little reluctant to spend the past few days at the Druid Council headquarters. Pauletta and Bennett are both very accomplished animal druids, and some of their guidance to Yan Yingxue in the details of their cultivation has benefited her immensely.
Almost every day, Pauletta took Yan Yingxue to the outer woods to find those small animals to play, as well as those spirit beasts that the druids kept in the forest. Riding a snow-white foal, running in the woods, there are many animals around her whose intelligence far exceeds that of their kind, running, jumping, and even many birds trying to stop on Yan Yingxue's head and shoulders when she stops. It's like the jīng spirit in this forest is following her princess. And every night when she returns to the castle, there is always jīng delicious food, hot chocolate and snacks, and there is always Zhang Ling, who has been reading art and rare books all day or reading a lot of securities documents, frowning and pounces on her, pulls her to wash her mud in the cast-iron bathtub, and then serves her a cup of hot fruit tea. This kind of rì is really like heaven for a little girl like Yan Yingxue, who has great curiosity and likes to play very much. Although it was a little cold in Scotland in winter, Bernard generously presented her with an overcoat made of polar bear skin.
"Wait for your vacation, next year, you will come on to pass the druid assessment, is it good to come here for the summer vacation?" Zuo Lin said after calculating the time. He has now been persuaded by Bernard that he is not in a hurry to go to Sun Lao, but he is not going to Sun Lao without preparation. If you rush to the air, the possibility of hitting the air is too big, it is better to follow the step-by-step process, do the things in hand one by one, and then find a relatively spacious time period to do this kind of needle-in-a-haystack thing. And this has just come year, and he has a long summer to use. At that time, if Yan Yingxue passes the druid assessment, it is just right for her to come to the headquarters to register here, and by the way, accept the free guidance of those druids.
Grandpa Bernard also said that it is so cold in winter, and the scenery is not good, and many animals are sleeping and refuse to come out to play. Yan Yingxue patted her pocket and made a rattling sound, these were the food she had prepared for the "New Year's gift" she had just gotten - a pair of gray squirrels.
Zuo Lin patted Yan Yingxue's head dotingly, and said, "Then when you go back, go and tell your grandfather by yourself, and your parents, let them come over with you, right?"
Yan Yingxue snuggled in Zuo Lin's arms, nodded obediently and said, "Hmm." ”
After solving Yan Yingxue's attachment to the druid's headquarters, they soon came to the place where the advertisement was filmed in Paris. It only took a few hours. An open space in a residential area was chosen for the advertising shoot. In recent years, it seems to have become a tradition for Nike to let soccer superstars play street football. The content of the advertisement is also very casual, that is, where a group of people show off their skills, divided into two teams to symbolize xìng to fight against each other. The capture of details, the switching of shots and the choice of advertising music are the key, and as for the shooting process, it is like playing in itself.
When Zuo Lin arrived at the scene, the day's filming had already begun, and several superstars from the five major European leagues who had been signed by Nike were discussing how to make the action look better, and Zuo Lin, who was still a "regional" level signed athlete, was arranged to watch on the side.
But Zolin's arrival quickly caught the attention of the players who were moving around the field. The Spanish players had already passed on Zuo Lin's horrible exaggeration back to their teammates at their respective clubs after suffering from the Chinese team's deflated. Zuo Lin has been regarded as a legend by many of them.
"Hello," the first person to run over was a tall, thin but extremely strong black man, and Zolin immediately recognized that this was Murray. And Murray understands this very well and does not bother to introduce himself.
"It was a pleasure to meet my peers. Zuo Lin smiled and said in a very small voice. Naturally, this kind of peer is not talking about playing football, but they are both druids but they are both playing.
After introducing Zuo Lin to several star players who were jumping on the field and discussing their movements, Murray pulled Zuo Lin aside and said excitedly: "I heard that there are three teams in the Premier League that want you to transfer in, are you ready to come? ”
“…… Do you really like to play so much?" said Zorin, who wondered that other things might be lucrative for the druids, but for those of them who have a good grasp of the body, these sports are very boring.
Murray shrugged, "The position of Leopard is a pure thug, you, the head of the operations department, don't organize operations, what else can you let me do? There must be something to do, right? I now play football to support a few druid friends who are active in Africa." The Operational Service has been financially constrained...... That bastard Pauletta couldn't come up with the money, and I've been burdening this part of the money ever since. ”
Zolin nodded and said, "It's a bit boring to play football, especially as a goalkeeper. I just don't want to hold on for too many years. ”
"Are you really good?" Murray's eyes lit up, "How about having a hand?"
Zolin did not object. Although the soccer game is boring, the extreme test is still a fun activity. Some days are inactive, and there are really some jumps to try.
With the stars shooting mostly in one half, Murray beckoned to make room for the two of them in the other half.
Murray dropped the ball about 20 meters in front of goal, while Zolin clapped his hands and walked towards the goal with a relaxed face without gloves. 20 meters is a distance where Murray can fully exert his strength without bullying the goalkeeper too much, especially since he knows very well that Zuo Lin is definitely not an easy guy to deal with.
"It's coming!" Murray let out a loud shout and slammed a powerful shot directly into the middle of the goal, which was completely a test of Zuolin's reaction.
Zuo Lin deftly picked the ball with one hand and threw it back to Murray, who unceremoniously threw the ball at Zuo Lin with a volley. For the ball that flew straight towards the lower right corner of the goal, Zuo Lin quickly shifted two steps, bent down to catch the ball, and threw it back casually......
The thud of Murray's powerful feet has already attracted the attention of the staff filming the ad and the stars of the other half. In fact, from the moment Murray put the ball on the ground to draw shè, a camera was always filming them. As for the mobile phones and DVDs of those people around, it is even more impossible to count.
Murray ran to the spot where the ball landed and fired another volley. Thinking that Murray was having a good time, Zuo Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, ran to the landing point of the ball, sank his center of gravity, and picked up the ball with the action of catching the ball in volleyball, and bounced it into the air. Murray, on the other hand, ran towards a new landing point.
The two of them went back and forth like this a few times, and everyone around them was fascinated. It's not like Murray is deliberately releasing water, in fact, Murray's every shè gate has a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour, and the angle is not bad. But Zuo Lin, who was standing in front of the door, lifted his weight lightly, and picked up a few with volleyball movements. The people around me were stunned. Every time he touches the ball, he can run in the right direction, stop in the right place, and make reasonable moves to pick up the ball...... I'm afraid that the long-trained men's volleyball players may not be able to do this.
Zuo Lin is also not confined to volleyball movements, and there are a few times when the movements are a little slow, and he can only catch the ball with one hand and throw it to Murray. Murray is not an easy person either, he has a hard toe and a tricky angle, and compared to the ease with which he can deal with almost all the shè in the domestic league, Zuo Lin is really under some pressure now. But he didn't have any deformation in his movements because of the pressure.
After a few more exchanges, the onlookers, the Nike, the production company filming the commercial, and the players in the other half of the court all started to be amazed. Exclamations such as "Cool!", "Amazing!", "Incredible!", "Wonderful!", etc. Murray's continuous volleys and the quality of each kick are even more dazzling than his on-court performances in the league, especially the fact that he can make so many volleys without making mistakes is a testament to his skill level. And Zuo Lin was able to block these shè doors one by one, and still in an almost joking way, which can be described as incredible.
The advertising director and the Nike representative standing on the sidelines, there was something else in their eyes at this time besides admiration, and they did see a very valuable advertising film from such a scene.
