Ozil was a little apprehensive on the plane to Madrid, and to be honest, as a player who likes to stay in the Bundesliga, especially a player who doesn't even speak English, I really don't know if coming to La Liga is a good choice.

Especially when he is about to go to Real Madrid, which has been turned into a 'superstar grave'... The only thing that makes him breathe a sigh of relief is that he is not a superstar yet, and in the eyes of the public, as a member of the 'substitute', he is more or less under so much pressure.

"Have I already arranged my accommodation in Madrid?" Ozil confirmed to his father again and again, God knows that his progress in learning Spanish has slowed down to a certain point, and his father has a strange smile, "If you are a good tenant who knows German and can speak Spanish, yes, Real Madrid has arranged it for you!"

Ozil leaned back in his chair and looked at him with wide eyes, but this time his pitiful gaze turned his gaze away and muttered, "Real Madrid said he could even help you catch up on your English." ”

"Wait, why do you mean that the tenant is a little unusual?" Ozil's eyes widened in horror, and the feeling of being alone in the dark was not very good. I guess my father is still my own father, and it can be regarded as a vaccination for Ozil in advance, "a person who will help you integrate into the team-"

"Mou, Mourinho?"

"Alvarez!"

The two of them said in unison but completely different answers, Ozil couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the answer he gave, to be honest, after making up such a terrifying answer about living with manager Mourinho, it was obvious that Francisco Alvarez was a... So that he can accept a lot of answers.

I couldn't understand how my son could come up with such a terrible answer, and the old Mr. Ozil had planned to tell his son to follow the Fran information he had investigated before, but these words were completely choked in his throat. Come on, what's the use of asking so much? Maybe as Mourinho said, the Real Madrid general likes his son's character...?

... Well, although he is his own son, I have to say that he is really a strange and unpredictable strange person as rumored in the industry.

Mesut Ozil was reminded of the joy of not staying at Mourinho's house and the fear of staying at the home of the Real Madrid vice-captain, and was finally sent to Francisco Alvarez's house by the team's staff. The usher's job was obviously assigned because he was very lively, and after explaining a series of matters at the press conference that Real Madrid had arranged, he also comforted Ozil, "Forlan is a very good talker, you don't have to worry too much." "I've been working at the club for several years, and I really haven't seen him rush with anyone." ”

In exchange for a smile from Ozil, who was still slightly nervous.

The car drove into the residential area, and the usher was very familiar with introducing the surrounding environment to Ozil and his father who accompanied him, "The house that I used to be just now is Alonso's house, and the houses of Kaka and Ronaldo are very close, but we can't drive there for the time being." Igor lives very close to Fran and he will definitely take you to the captain's house when he comes back... Oooh oh we arrived. ”

The car pulled over, and before Ozil could get out of the car, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, so when Ozil looked up from the car, he happened to meet Fran's eyes when he was wearing casual clothes and holding a puppy in his arms, and the next second he heard Fran greet him very naturally, so he put the puppy at his feet and went to help the staff over there carry his luggage.

Ozil has also imagined this kind of scene a few times, and it is no different from the landlord he expected, but everything replaces Fran's face, and perhaps adds Fran's identity in Real Madrid, which always makes Ozil feel very awkward. But now is not the time to think about this, Ozil hurriedly went over to carry his luggage, and it was not really enough to let the future deputy team do it himself.

Speaking of which, the last time I saw this guy was in the World Cup semi-finals, when he was the main central defender of the Swedish team, and he was the focus of the German team. It's just that at that time, I was studying ball skills, and no one specifically told me how to have a good relationship with Fran.

However, as the staff said, it seems that Forlan is indeed a very nice person to get along with off the court. Thinking about it, Ozil dragged his suitcase and followed Fran, who was holding two cardboard boxes in his arms, to his accommodation for the next six months.

Fran easily placed the two stacked boxes in the living room, and turned back to greet Ozil, "You put your things here, I'll familiarize you with the environment first." He seemed to feel that Ozil was a little restrained, and he told me in a gentle tone, "If you think there are any shortcomings, you can tell me, or make a list and I will take you to buy it, don't be embarrassed." ”

Ozil smiled and nodded, but kept exclaiming, 'Ah, he seems to be gentle and easy to get along with, thank goodness, and fortunately, he seems to speak German well'.

Fran, who 'speaks good German,' glanced vaguely at the small note in his hand, and gave a thumbs up in his heart for what he had just said.

————————

Real Madrid's first warm-up game of the pre-season was against América, Mexico, and the team travelled to San Francisco in early August. It was Mourinho's first game in charge of Real Madrid, and he chose to put new transfers Pedro Leão and Canales in the starting line-up, with Mesut Ozil moving later than they all and being so far from fitting into the team that he was not allowed to play even though he was also taken to San Francisco.

If Ozil is allowed to say, Real Madrid's placement in Forlan's house is definitely a good choice for themselves. He doesn't speak the language and always struggles to fit in with his new teammates, but fortunately, Fran doesn't always talk about a topic, but he thinks about a lot of things very comprehensively. For example, before the flight from Madrid to Los Angeles, Forlan, who had to manage a lot of idle things after receiving the position of 'vice-captain', asked Benzema to bring his new teammates and talk to Casillas himself.

When Ozil was still wondering who his companions would be in the next ten hours after boarding the plane, Benzema sat next to him first. The Frenchman, who was one of the members who had studied Spanish last season to avoid communication difficulties within the team, was more understanding of how his new teammates felt at this time, so the two of them were able to talk more or less together. Ozil breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could stumble to ask in English, he saw Fran, who was boarding the plane behind, come over and pat Benzema on the shoulder, "Karim, why are you sitting here?" ”

Benzema grimaced at Ozil and stood up obediently, "Fran I think you're very biased. Fran was looking at the inexplicably full luggage rack in a daze, when he heard Benzema's words, he glanced at Benzema funny, "What do you say?" By the way, he noticed that Ozil may have been filled with a backpack that was not put on because the luggage rack was full, and casually said, "Mesut gave me the backpack, and I will put it for you." ”

"Look at it! I didn't see you speak French with me when I didn't speak Spanish a year ago!" Benzema looked strange, but Fran knew that this hidden little teammate was a little expert who knew many Chinese, and at this time it was a complete joke, so he went to carry his suitcase and Ozil's backpack and walked back, while turning around and laughing in Swedish, "Look at your stupidity." ”

Benzema naturally didn't understand, not only him, but half of his teammates at this time were stunned by Fran's sudden hometown dialect. However, seeing Forlan walk to Alonso's side to put his luggage, Benzema patted Ozil on the shoulder and left. Ozil didn't expect his little friend Benzema to just come over to say hello, and saw Fran, who was going and returning, with his arm on the seat and smiling at him, "Hey, see you again, you will be by your side again in the next ten hours, but don't dislike it." ”

In fact, this seat was specially arranged by Fran before boarding, but he felt that it would be too torturous to sit together for more than ten hours if he still didn't understand the language. Cassie thought it was funny at the time, "The head coach obviously asked you to bring your roommate, and your heart is completely like you're raising a son." Fran smiled and didn't speak, but if he insisted on saying it, he just felt that Ozil squeezed into Madrid alone without understanding the language, and his personality was far less sleek than Benzema, which was really difficult for a young man who was only 21 years old, and it was fate that the two of them were arranged together, and he could help or help.

Fran, who didn't realize that he had somehow entered the old cadre mode, sat there very patiently and listened to Ozil, and after getting along for so many days, Fran also found that Ozil was not silent, but he was not familiar with it at first. Ozil's German with some accents sometimes Fran couldn't understand, but just looking at Ozil's expression, Fran inexplicably felt that he could guess a rough idea.

Ramos, who was sitting with Ronaldo, watched the interaction between the two with interest for a while, and Benzema behind him whispered to Ramos in his chair, and spoke in a cheap voice, "Do you feel that you have fallen out of favor, Sergio?" Ronaldo was fiddling with his mobile phone, and when he heard Benzema's words, he also looked at Ramos with a smile, "Don't worry about Sergio, no matter what your defense says, it's all a family." ”

Higuain, who was sitting next to Benzema, interjected, "Or you might as well just come and play as a striker." ”

Ramos, who was inexplicably scolded by several people on the front line, is not annoyed, after all, he is not the 'defensive cub' that Forlan still needed to protect at the press conference a few years ago, "I just think he is very lucky, nothing else." After saying that, he was patted on the head by Benzema behind him lightly, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious, so he didn't have anything to talk nonsense.

Ozil was a temporary substitute for Kaka's injury, all because of his excellent performance in the World Cup, he came to Real Madrid at the age of 21, and because of the language barrier, the manager placed him in the vice-captain's house, helping him adapt to the team while helping him integrate into the team. Canales, who is also a new transfer, is only 19 this year and has not seen such treatment.

However, the outside world is more focused on the warm-up matches, Canales scored the first goal for Real Madrid on his debut, and then Mexico America overtook the score by two goals, fortunately Ronaldo and Higuain both scored, and there was a thrilling one-goal victory over Mexico America, which also made Mourinho's first game not end in failure.

Forlan, who sat on the bench and watched the excitement throughout the warm-up game, felt that in the next game against the LA Galaxy, maybe Mourinho did not plan to let himself play.

What is he trying to do?

The author has something to say: Well, as a deputy of Real Madrid, Forlan has entered the old cadre mode...

Side story: When Fran retires

(a)

Ibrahimovic: When you retired, did you think about what you were going to do?

Fran: Head coach

Ebrahimovic: ... You wait, what do you say?

Fran: Football Coach, Defender Coach, Assistant Coach, Head Coach

Ibrahim: You can be a coach like that, who is going to be a coach like you?

The answer was known to Ibrahimovic when Forlan appeared on Jose Mourinho's coaching staff at Manchester United.

Ebrahimovic: ... Okay, can't I serve you yet?

(For a while, I wanted to write about Fran's head coaching career with Forlan as the main character at the end of this article...) But then I felt that there was not much to write, and it was almost enough to write two competitive essays, so I gave up.

Later, I thought that I could put it outside the author if he had something to say, hhh serialized form outside the fan) 166 reading network
