"So, you know Brady well, that Tom Brady?" Victoria seemed to casually mention the name during the small talk, Fran blinked, glanced at the silent Beckham who was looking at the sky next to him, well, your wife is pregnant with a child, your wife has the highest status. He had heard that David Beckham and Tom Cruise had a very good relationship, and that Victoria had always wanted to break into the North American market as a husband and wife, but still wanted to hook up with sports figures. What is the most influential and popular sport in the United States? Then about Brady, it seems that there is indeed a reason to get acquainted.
"Unfamiliar" Fran seemed to be glared at by the heartthrob before he finished speaking, and quickly added, "No, no, no, Victoria, I'm not politely refusing, and you know that I don't know much about politely refusing, it's true, really unfamiliar." Victoria touched his stomach in Beckham's arms and didn't speak, and Fran thought for a moment, "But I might be able to be a puller" After all, Beckham and Brady know each other, and it's not a bad thing for the tall one.
Victoria's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, not at all like the outside world says she can't smile at all. Fran looked at Beckham, who had been afraid of his wife's accident and was carefully guarded, Fran bowed slightly, "It's a little messy here, you are obedient, little guy!"
Fran noticed that the Owen couple had just left, and that his female companion had also been together with Casillas' female companion, and that the three of them were in the corner. He winked at Beckham, "Now β‘β‘ are betting on what your child's name is, how about it, is there any inside information that you want to sue me?" Beckham and Victoria looked at each other and smiled, "Inside information? β
"You can't even speak Spanish, why do you name your son in Spanish, and you didn't consult with us before?" Fran complained when he heard Beckham's words, and then thought to himself, is this kid called Jose, Fernando, or Francisco? Fran chuckled dryly, "Speaking of which, you wouldn't have a feminine name, would you?"
"What are the names of the top three β‘β‘ at the moment?" Beckham directly changed the topic, and Fran moved in his heart, "The top three, Jesus, Ronaldo and Jose, it should be this, right? Raul and Jose were the first to join in the fun, so after it was exposed, people thought they had some news, so a large group of people pressed this, so they had to readjust the odds. β
"And what about you? Which one are you pressing?" asked Victoria, and Fran grabbed her hair and said happily, "If you don't sue me, I won't sue you." "Although it seems that since the couple intends to go off the beaten path, their own chances of winning are much better than others?
After the birth of the third son of the Beckham family, the 'naming turmoil' of the heartthrobs all over Europe was fooled. Beckham's third son, known as 'Cruz', is an "outdated" name that has hardly been used in Spain for nearly 100 years, and is among the "bottom" options on the girls' roster. According to Guti's words, David has always dressed very femininely, and now he is even better, simply giving his son a girl's name. The Real Madrid deputy team thinks that this guy is really, how good it is to be called Jesus, and it took so much effort to fool Raul to press this name with him, although it is a fun, but it is also a sum of money.
Beckham's whimsical play with the vast majority of people, there are only a handful of people in Europe, and the odds of this name are even higher than 1:500, even the participants who pressed this name are all for their own amusement and did not put down a lot of money at all, so someone who pressed a thousand euros made a fortune in this way. When David Beckham pushed open the dressing room door with a winner's smile, the Englishman was startled by the celebratory scene inside. I saw a crowd of people applauding next to the stinky boy who was hanging on Casillas, and Beckham walked in, "What's the situation?"
"Hahahahaha David, Cruz, I'm pressed by the name Cruz hahahaha!"
David Beckham's instantly "you, tease me" expression made the teammates around him feel very happy.
But that's all for later, not everyone at the Christmas party at this moment is in a harmonious atmosphere. On the side where Ronaldo and Florentino were, the Brazilian and the Real Madrid president clinked glasses, "Chairman, I probably won't score 35 goals this season. Florentino was surprised to hear this, he put his glass aside and put his arm on Ronaldo's shoulder, "What's the matter, Ronnie, why do you say that?" "Because the coach said that if I didn't train well, he wouldn't let me play, and I think I trained well. β
Baldano and Carvajal, who were watching the exchange, looked at each other and did not interject, just listened to the conversation between the two characters, who had probably communicated in advance. Carvajal glanced at the manager not far away with a wine glass and a frown, not knowing where his thoughts were going, Real Madrid's unsatisfactory record has always made the manager who has been pushed on the pitch himself frowned, he knows that he can't sit in this position, but maybe this ongoing conversation has also pushed his class forward to advance. Baldano sighed, "I communicated with Raymond, and he still prefers to go back as a goalkeeper coach, and the assistant coach of the first team is not going to do it, he wants to go back to the reserves." Hearing this, Carvajal looked at the old man who would never give a message simply, "So who is the next manager?"
"Luxemberg, the first day of the new year is probably going to be announced. Baldano didn't hide it, and Carvajal had mixed feelings when he heard that he had found a successor. Baldano patted him on the shoulder and walked in Raymond's direction.
The banquet ended quickly, and Beckham took her away early due to Victoria's health, and then everyone dispersed. Fran was in charge of sending her companion home at the instigation of Casillas, so she really sent her back. On the way back, Carvajal kept calling, and Fran parked the car on the side of the road to answer the phone. Carvajal told Fran about what happened tonight and asked him to prepare in advance, Fran stupidly pressed his face against the car window to cool down, and heard Carvajal continue, "Now you understand why I said, I can't help you, right?"
"Why are you talking about this, isn't it all over now?" Forlan looked ahead in the dark, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a moment of silence, Carvajal choked, "It's over? You think it's beautiful! It's the second year, where do you think it's going? I've seen Real Madridβ"
"Have you really seen more Real Madrid than me?" Fran roared suddenly, his voice low with a rare anger, startling Carvajal on the other end of the phone, in the eyes of the first agent in La Liga, Francisco Alvarez has always been an excellent talkative character on the field, at least in the more than two years that Carvajal has been with him, no matter how he put him aside, how categorically calculating or sarcastically speaking a few words when he spoke, this kid has always been soft and painless and let him knead. This time he saw it for the first time, and it turned out that he also had a temper.
Fran took a deep breath and suppressed his attitude just now, "So, Raul and Igor's side should have been notified?" After all, the Real Madrid players in his hands were not in the forefront, Carvajal changed the topic with him, "Raul Yes, as for Igor, his side, it's not very convenient-" As for the inconvenience, it is estimated that there are outsiders.
At the start of the new year in 2005, Luxenburg arrived in Madrid, and Real Madrid manager Leimon stepped down and did not stay in the first team, but returned to the development team as his goalkeeper coach. Listening to Zach say that he is in good shape, it seems that he has figured out something from the first team, Fran likes to wrap the phone line around his fingers whenever he has something troubled when he calls, he purses his lips and listens to what Zach said on the phone, for a while, "I don't know how long Luxemberg can work in Real Madrid, there are two managers in the first half of the season." β
Zach frowned, and just wanted to speak but was preempted by Fran, "I know what you want to say, you want me to play well, just play well for this club." Of course I do, I'm always proud to play for this club β but the first team is a mess and I just want to say that if something happens, you don't take it. β
"You still know it's a mess, what are you in the mess?" Zach scoffed, perhaps just as Raymond thought, some of Fran's personality was really the same as Zack. Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Fran freed his fingers from the phone line, "Durian?"
Zach remembered the fruit, the prickly exterior and the inside, which only stinks when he doesn't look closely, "Oh, you're pretty self-aware -- I'm not going to go, I prefer the reserves, the academy." β
*******************************************
After sacking former head coach Raymond, Real Madrid welcomed their third head coach of the season, Luxemberg. Just look at Luxemborg's resume, leading Brazil to the Copa America and winning many times in the Brazilian Liga. Let's put aside the scandals of tax evasion, arrogance, and cheating for the time being, at the beginning of 05, in Real Madrid's special six-minute play-up, everyone thought that the meaningless six minutes changed the situation for Ronaldo and Zidane. Since this good start, Real Madrid have won seven consecutive victories, from the middle of the league at the beginning of the season to the second place in the league, and the league leader Barcelona has drawn and lost, making the gap between the first and second places in La Liga only one point. The upcoming final round of La Liga is a veritable focus battle. β
"As for the players on both sides, because both sides are out of the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, this round of the league is where they will fight for the last time. Barcelona's overall squad should remain unchanged as usual, while Real Madrid's case, in the final round, Francisco Alvarez, who is regarded as the main choice of Real Madrid's defense, accumulated yellow cards and was suspended. β
