87 chapter 87
Since November 07, there has been news about the European Footballer of the Year, although the World Footballer of the Year selection of FIFA has always been controversial and not fully recognized around the world, but the European Footballer of the Year, the European Ballon d'Or, often has some forward-looking awards.
And the award, which has been recognized as the winner of the Ballon d'Or, is AC Milan's Ricardo Reiter, Kaka.
A number of Italian and French media reported at the same time that Kaka's election to the European Ballon d'Or is already a certainty, and England Sky Sports even broadcast Kaka's election as news in the noon news, saying that "Milan has begun to prepare for Kaka's various activities to participate in the trip to Japan".
Not surprisingly, after the European Footballer of the Year won the Ballon d'Or in Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo won the silver and bronze balls respectively in the second and third place votes.
Even if you are not reconciled, this is also a season that Real Madrid is destined to miss, and the player in this team has the highest vote in the seventh place, and this 'seventh' belongs to the defenders that Real Madrid generally does not pay much attention to.
Raul looked at Francisco Álvarez, who was concentrating on playing FIFA2007 with a controller next to him, the handle in his hand was slightly loose, and his thinking was a little divergent. What did this guy who is a fig leaf to say a little bit of a fig leaf do in the first moment when he found out about this? Oh yes, he took the phone and congratulated his national team teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic on his top five ranks, making Ibrahimovic have a chance to fight in the next World Footballer of the Year race.
Before Raul could hate that iron could not be made of steel, Fran exaggeratedly threw the handle onto the couch and waved his arms vigorously, "goaaaaaaallllllll!" The celebration was like he didn't score in a single-player game at all, but in an official game.
Raul, who was a step late in choosing a team and was robbed of Real Madrid by Fran, found himself stunned, and Forlan manipulated the star to score. Looking at this Real Madrid team, which was specifically asked by himself not to arrange 'Raul Gonzalez' on the field, Raul choked up and wanted to see how this guy scored, at this time the game 'understood' Raul released the goal clip of Fang Cai. Raul looked at the guy in the green team uniform who was running in his own half, and it took half a day to determine the identity of the character controlled by Fran.
Ah, Igor Casillas, this guy manipulated the goalkeeper to score a goal for me.
“... I watched the goalkeeper serve wide into the midfield!" Raul clearly couldn't accept the fact that he was being scored by the goalkeeper, even if it was just in the game. Fran shrugged and replied as he replayed, "Just because you can't get back to the goalkeeper's feet doesn't mean you can't get back to the goalkeeper's feet." ”
“... So who passed the ball to the goalkeeper?" Raul was so angry that his teeth itched, although he admitted that his game skills were not as good as Fran's, but this kid knew that he was in a daze and poked and prodded the goalkeeper from the front of the goal to the penalty area?
"I know you're in control! isn't that nonsense!" Raul grumbled as he followed Fran's finger to the screen, where the replay of the goal was shown on the TV, and the little man with the title of Francisco Alvarez decisively intercepted the ball from midfield and ran back to the Real Madrid goal. In the next second, Casillas ran forward decisively, leaving Forlan alone in front of the goal, as if defending the goal for Cassie.
Seeing this scene, Raul directly grabbed Forlan's neck with the crook of his arm and tortured him desperately, "So many strikers and midfielders! Why do you use a goalkeeper?" Forlan thought to himself, why do you care who scored the goal anyway, but the body simply surrendered, "You don't let me use Raul! How can the Real Madrid forward line score without Raul!"
Hearing this bold 'compliment' in front of him, Raul didn't know what kind of expression he should keep, and finally had to poke Fran back into the distance with a straight face, "Come, keep teeing, you all stand still, let me give you the goalkeeper in return!" to Fran's shouting "Captain, don't be so cruel Captain! Look at me using Real Madrid! Why are you so cruel to Real Madrid!"
After a while, Fran glanced at Raul, who was about to drop the handle beside him, and asked, as if out of curiosity, "Captain, I'm all standing there, why are you letting the goalkeeper kick me in the leg?" The system intercepts the ball by default, and this water can't be put in... If you're not happy, I'll send it back to you!Captain! Don't talk Captain! Oh, Mom, Captain, why did you just admit defeat?"
Raul said that he was naïve to go to esports games with an otaku. But Fran thinks about it, against a pig opponent who can control the ball under the feet of the opponent, no matter who it is, it is difficult to lose, right?
At the World Footballer of the Year ceremony, Forlan, who was a member of the best team, and Capello, who was shortlisted for the best manager, went together. On both sides of the red carpet, reporters and media mixed with fans and fans waited together, and whenever a star appeared on the stage, they immediately rushed to the scene, clicking the flashing lights and all kinds of ghosts crying wolf howls and cheers, as if this is where all the light is.
Walking ahead of Capello and Forlan is Kaka, who is half the sky and the biggest favorite to win the championship, which is a little unpopular compared to the two people of a manager and a defender. But Capello is at ease, and Fran is even more unhappy and slow walking and waving while muttering, my smile is not stiff and terrible, oh glad they don't shoot me, please don't shoot me.
"It's okay, the look on your face that can be called a 'smile' is a little indebted as usual, it's good. Capello found his conscience comforting his star, and Forlan gave him a stiffer smile in return.
Both of these people are extremely looking forward to entering the stadium directly, but not all of them will let them get their wish, and some reporters have no eye to ask Capello directly on such an occasion, "Before the season, there was news that Real Madrid and AC Milan had an exchange of transfer intentions about Kaka, what is it..." This kind of question, ask the AC Milan spokesperson or the person concerned, and you may be able to get an easier answer. ”
Fran stood next to him to sign autographs for fans, and as Capello continued, his left hand, ungripped, rubbed his thumb and forefinger back and forth unobtrusively at the seam of his pants. It wasn't until Capello and Fran solved these problems and entered the stadium that Fran sat in his seat and held his left hand in front of him, "money!money!money!" that it became clear that he had been holding a money rubbing motion.
"Isn't it particularly happy to be called a local tyrant and a person who is stupid and has a lot of money?" Capello glanced at him mockingly, who would have thought that this person would look like a matter of course, "When I was in the second phase of middle school, I was just in time for Real Madrid to be poor and was poached and Barcelona was injected with capital, and the little boy was ignorant and poor, so that now it still leaves a shadow on me, and the local tyrant is stupid and has a lot of money, and it is always good to be rich." ”
"People are stupid, money is weak, and people are indifferent?"
Capello certainly didn't ask the question from a manager's point of view, but a few years ago, the kid would have been able to pull out a whole bunch of justified arguments to praise the club, and this time, Forlan just smiled.
Years later, after Capello had long since left his position as Real Madrid manager, the Italian still remembered the young man's expression. It was always mixed with a stubborn and sluggish face, and Capello saw a generous and tolerant smile for the first time, even if the corners of his mouth were crooked on one side in the next second, it seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
This is not to say that Capello sees Fran as a thorn in the eye, at least he is patient and cautious enough to handle interpersonal relationships and the teachings of his juniors. It's Capello who suddenly subconsciously feels that this kid has actually changed significantly or not from the guy he paid attention to when he first became famous, and even the guy he just met more than a year ago.
******************************************************
It's hard to say whether Igor Casillas has made the right decision on the choice of agent, on the one hand, Carvajal has often made some lace news that does not affect Real Madrid's results but affects Casillas's off-field image, and on the other hand, Casillas's position as captain of the Spanish national team has finally come true.
To put it bluntly, it is also a little cold, because Aragonés's Spain, after shouting 'reform, we want reform, we want to replace the old with the new!', finally eliminated former Spanish captain Raul González with a razor.
Real Madrid's four people with captain-related titles, the captain Raul finally let the time be full of scars little by little, the vice-captain Guti has a second spring in the club but it is still difficult to integrate into the national team lineup, and the remaining two are already considered candidates for the future, the third captain Casillas is glorious, and the fourth captain Fran... He is still free, with the support of the head coach and the support of the captain of the national team, and acts as the boss of the Swedish team.
Of course, in the 08 European Cup, the Swedish team in the same group as Spain, Russia and Greece was eliminated in the group stage, Ljungberg fractured before the tournament did not heal, Larsson was physically exhausted, Ibrahimovic was not in good shape and did not score a goal, and the boss at the bottom could not escape the fate of being beaten to death.
Correspondingly, the Spanish national team overcame all obstacles and had the last laugh.
In a corner of the stands in favor of Spain, Fran, Guti and Raul watched all this. Both Forlan and Guti were extremely relaxed, the former was the title and who belonged to him, and the latter was happy that Spain had finally won the championship to justify himself. Raul's mood is extremely complicated, even if he is comforting and explaining that he should be happy with all this, Raul has to look at the Spanish team that is celebrating wildly on the field with emotion.
Fran's mobile phone vibrated for a while, and when he saw the news that Ljungberg and Larsson had both decided to say goodbye to the national team, Fran, who had not shown any special sadness after being eliminated in the group stage before, suddenly lowered his eyebrows in Guti's eyes, and he didn't know what he was sighing.
Before Forlan forcibly comforted himself and was just worried about the Swedish team's lack of success, he saw a private message from Lagerbeck, "The position of the captain of the national team, are you interested?" The group did not let the head coach into the group because of the frequent ridicule between players, but Lagerbeck's information made Fran wonder if he was inserting an internal response in the player group, otherwise how could the timing be so appropriate.
The problem that Lagerbeck has been worrying about is not that he is not a player with his game, nor that he can't fit into the team, but that this is a kid who seems to avoid responsibility in his bones, and has always tried to do as little as possible in his duties other than the players themselves. And what kind of responsibilities does the captain of a national team have?
In Fran's view, captaining has always been a thankless job, and the captain of the first team is more burdened with more miscellaneous tasks. If you should fulfill this responsibility, if one day you are really overwhelmed by the responsibility or even if you are involved, you must break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach. Either you don't get it at all, or you prepare for the worst.
"You're not going to let Zlatan come?" replied Fran after a moment of silence, but Lagerbeck didn't answer for a moment.
Across a happy Guti, Raul, who had a sad face, asked Fran, who was full of worries, "Do you regret it?"
"What do you regret?" Fran took back his phone and looked at the people on the pitch who were celebrating happily, the young generation of winners in life, "What do I have to regret?"
"Regret not choosing Spain in the first place?"
Should he regret choosing the Swedish national team because Spain was on the right track? Before Raul said that, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about it all along, but, "Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect?"
Raul raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at him, Guti started the wiki online, Fran put his arms on his laps and looked down lazily, as if he was not focused on the sea of celebration, "Actually, it doesn't matter, that is, if I join Spain, maybe Spain won't have this championship." ”
... Is this a mockery of himself?
"Why bother yourself with something that is already destined to not come true?" Fran still maintained that action, "It's like why are you still clenching your back molars so tightly, thinking if you don't quit the national team, will you win the championship?" Guti held the phone and continued to shrink his presence, and sighed twice in his heart, Raul poked Fran more commonly, and Fran didn't pretend to be stupid to deal with it, but it was a bit novel.
