In the second leg of the Champions League semifinals, Monaco defeated Real Madrid 2:1 at home, but due to Real Madrid's score of 4:2 in the last leg, the aggregate score was 5:4, congratulations to Real Madrid for successfully advancing to the Champions League semifinals. As previously advertised, this is the fourth time in five years that the team has reached the last four of the Champions League!"

On the pitch of Luis II, Morientes was in a trance after his shot that had been so sure was forcibly blocked. The people of Real Madrid were somewhat ecstatic about the catastrophe, but Raul did not have joy on his face, he and his teammates around him simply high-fived, and walked to the center circle with their heads bored. Guti and the others looked back at Morientes, who was standing in the center circle and lost his soul, patted Raul on the shoulder and said nothing, and walked towards the players' tunnel together.

Raul's steps towards Morientes grew faster and faster, until he got closer and sighed heavily, gave his friend a hug, and the two of them put their heads on their heads as close as they always fought side by side, and before Raul could say "my brother" hoarsely, Morientes burst into tears.

"I—I don't want it to be eliminated! That would make it a joke in people's eyes, I don't want to!" he said, hugging his best partner and brother tightly, and with a crying voice, Raul's eyes turned red. Where does he look like a winner, and where can there be a winner in this game?

"But—but no one wants to beat it more than I do!" Morientes' hand clasped Raul's shoulder, "no one wants to knock it out with my own hands and prove myself in front of it more than I do!"

Raul hugged his head, "Brother, I want you back!"

"I want me back!"

"Brother, I want you back!"

"I want me back!"

Raul suddenly let go of the arm that was wrapping around him, there was infinite contradiction and unconcealable sadness in his eyes, and his voice suddenly became softer, "But don't come back..."

Morientes froze, looking up blankly at Raul, who seemed to be questioning him what he was going to say with each gasp.

Raul let go of Morientes' direct gaze, looked down at his boots, the grass under his feet, or simply to avoid his gaze, and muttered, "Don't come back, but don't come back, you're so good, you can carry the team to victory, so don't come back"

"Morrow, if you come to Real Madrid, they will just ignore your talent and put you on the bench—" Raul's words choked in his throat, but he had a picture of his friend's excellent performance in the game. But is there still one less of his outstanding performances, and is there even one less victory he has ever brought to Real Madrid?

Both Asmarca and the team newspaper are rumouring that Liverpool's Michael Owen is very close to Real Madrid, and the well-informed Carvajal has not denied it when he talks about it, but has an ambiguous attitude. What if that's true? The golden boy, the youngest Premier League player of the year and top scorer, beat Raul's own European Footballer of the Year

He's the captain of Real Madrid, that's right. But a year ago he couldn't stop him from being squeezed out by a newcomer, and he already knew that he couldn't help more than dry support at Real Madrid.

He looked up at his friend, who had known each other since they were young, and who had been working together since their first meeting, with Real Madrid's number seven and number nine always celebrating in sync, and they were as close as real twins. But because of this, Raul's eyes were full of solemnity, "-So don't come back, Moreau, if Real Madrid can't give you a stage, don't come back!"

*******

Zidane took off his jersey, which had been completely soaked with sweat, put it on his arm and walked back, and Monaco coach Didier Deschamps stood there outside the players' tunnel as if waiting for someone, and Zidane turned his head to say hello to him.

Didier Deschamps, who used to be the representative player of France, is now Zinedine Zidane, the representative player of France.

Zidane let out a sigh, "You really scared me." Deschamps seemed to have just noticed him, and the corners of his mouth barely hooked but failed, but instead seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Zidane can also understand him, this senior has always been a character who does not admit defeat, I am afraid that the whole Monaco feels that he will lose, and he, the manager, will not feel this way. What's more, if you lose at this point, no one will be able to accept it.

Didier Deschamps didn't speak, but when he spoke, he seemed to have adjusted his form, "How's that little teammate of yours?" He told the Monaco players to watch out for that Francisco Álvarez before the game, and it was his header that undid all Monaco's hard work throughout the game. Even so, Deschamps also felt that the defense was really too exaggerated and too desperate, and sure enough, only young people would be so energetic and uncounting?

"That kid seems to be smart, but sometimes he's just a tendon when it comes to certain issues. "Zidane has known Forlan for quite some time and has a real sense of what the young team-mate, who was known for his 'unrelenting loyalty' ('die-hard loyalty') in the first team when he was in the reserves, has a certain style of dealing with certain issues. Deschamps watched Zidane raise his finger and point to the team emblem on his chest, what else did he not understand, it turned out that it was because something was too important to think about it.

After all, Fran is a bear, but the bear is not ordinary. There is a kind of bear child in this world, which can be counted as a scheming bear. You always think he's torn between stupidity and wit, and he's more inclined to the latter, but he can always do things that you don't think you can do.

Zidane was a little frightened when he remembered the terrible thud, and in the last few minutes, Fran was carried off the field on a stretcher, and Casillas's face turned pale. Until now, the team doctor and Forlan are still on the sidelines, and it is not clear whether he will return to Madrid for a detailed investigation or be directly hospitalized in Monaco for observation, although it is more likely that he is still dizzy and unable to open his eyes, and it is impossible to let him fly back to Madrid like this. Deschamps saw that Zidane's face obviously didn't look like he had nothing to do, and he glanced in the direction of Real Madrid, "I know Monaco very well, if I really want to stay in Monaco for observation, I can contact an extremely reliable doctor." It seems that although Forlan blocked Morientes' shot, Deschamps did not bet his anger on the defender of being eliminated.

"You're a good coach, Didier. Zidane said with a smile, and Deschamps took his compliment, raising his hand and patting him on the shoulder, "One day you will too." ”

"Oh, I'm not sure I can afford a day like this. Zidane thought in his heart that a head coach is not something that an upright man like him can do, and Deschamps pinched Zidane's shoulder and did not speak.

On the pitchside, Queiroz breathed a sigh of relief after the thrilling game, and sat in the dugout feeling like he was too limp to stand up. Finally relieved himself before getting up and walking to the team doctor, "How is he?" Queiroz squatted down like the team doctor, and the two of them looked at Fran who was lying motionless on the stretcher as if he was pretending to be dead, and the team doctor touched his head that was immediately swollen like a confirmation again, "Now I start to feel a little dizzy, and I guess I will have vomiting from tomorrow." It's better to stay in Monaco and take a look, he's not fit to fly back now. ”

"As soon as we eliminated Monaco, I was afraid of the danger caused by the extreme fans. "Queiroz didn't know that he should stay in Monaco at this time, but he was still afraid of danger, after all, Monaco fans are not easy to get along with. It just so happened that at this time, Zidane and Deschamps came over, and when they saw Queiroz and the team doctor, who didn't know what to do, they also made the same action cooperatively, so two more people squatted on the other side of the stretcher. The four of them looked at Fran on the stretcher and were silent, Fran had been in a state of dizziness and laziness to speak, and finally even the thick-skinned Fran had to speak, and his voice was still a little hoarse in failure, "Don't look at it." ”

Eventually, the entire Real Madrid squad returned to Madrid, while Forlan was admitted to the intensive care unit under the arrangement of the club and Deschamps. As soon as he was hospitalized, Fran began to vomit, and the team doctor who accompanied him was frightened and glad that he didn't let him get on the return flight. The diagnostic results showed that although the intensity of the impact was a bit terrifying, it was not as severe as everyone thought. The transfer was arranged in less than a week, but after the transfer, I still need to observe the ward for a while, and then continue to recuperate.

Overall, this recovery time is much longer than the usual mild muscle strain.

On the afternoon of the second day after the transfer, Raul Guti and Casillas came to visit, Casillas stood at the head of the bed and looked at Fran who felt thin in a hospital gown, the latter did not look like a sick number at all but like a mountain king, commanding Guti to shake up his hospital bed and squint at Casillas, "I didn't cry, what are you wronged." ”

Before Casillas could justify that he wasn't crying at all, Guti sneered, "You didn't cry?

Raul looked at Fran on the hospital bed and sighed, "Moreau asked me to apologize to you on his behalf." Fran was staring at Casillas and peeling a red apple almost half of it was a little painful, and when he heard this, he looked at Raul blankly for a long time, and then felt like shaking his head, but Guti held his head to prevent him from shaking, "There's nothing to apologize for, maybe I have to apologize to him." ”

Raul didn't say more, Guti slapped him up because he couldn't slap his head, forcibly changed direction and slapped him on the arm, "It's not uncomfortable enough to tell you that your head is so fast, and you still want to shake your head?" Fran raised his hands in pleading, and the two captains and deputy captains didn't stay for a while in order to let Fran have a good rest and talk less, and Guti also wanted to ask 'Igor, can you go', but seeing that Casillas was still fighting with the apple in his hand, the words were swallowed back.

When Raulguti and the others left, Casillas's apple was finished, Fran stuffed the small apple piece into his mouth with a toothpick, "Why don't you come and peel an apple for me every day, and chase the girl after exercising." Casillas rolled his eyes slowly, and Fran felt that he was sassing that he couldn't do such a difficult move at this time, "How many times have I said it, I have more chasers than you, and more than your sister." ”

Fran still wanted to complain to see what kind of girl you can pick and choose in the future, Casillas poked another apple and handed it to Fran, and sat on the chair next to him, "Do you say Real Madrid is happy to promote Raul?"

'I know Real Madrid don't have a good reputation in this area and I want Morientes back. But it's one thing to really know, and it's another thing to point at your nose and scold as a matter of course. Fran usually seemed a little lackluster and lackluster, but now because of the injury, even his voice was a little weak because of the words, "Maybe Monaco has won, and Morientes, who wants to come back, can come back." Putting aside the fact that even if he comes back, he still looks like he is still in an unstable position, yes, his ball skills can certainly win the main team, but that doesn't prevent him from becoming a substitute. But even so, Raul wouldn't want Real Madrid to lose for the sake of this. ”

Only then did Casillas understand what this guy was thinking when he said he didn't want to lose. Maybe the opponent is Real Madrid, so Morientes must kill Real Madrid in order to get revenge or prove himself, but it is precisely because the opponent is Monaco with Morientes that Forlan will subconsciously ignore his body and do not want to lose.

But speaking of Raul, "I think Raul's attitude in the locker room seems to have been a lot tougher lately," Casillas frowned and looked for words, "Although it's not a ball bully, it seems to be more and more important to have a say, I don't mean to be sarcastic." ”

Forlan pouted and didn't speak, probably something that spurred Raul to realize more and more the importance of the locker room in the team, although I don't know exactly what happened, but there was nothing bad.

"So when the hell are you going to be back?" Casillas asked, Fran touching his nose, "You can probably start training with the team in three or four weeks, what's wrong?"

"Then you should take care of your injuries and care less about the team's results!" Casillas instructed very abruptly, for fear that Forlan would not look at the team's recent results.
