Madrid played at the Bernabeu, and the last game of the group stage between Real Madrid and Porto ended in a draw. Real Madrid qualified for the Champions League group stage, while Porto also used the draw to beat Marseille and Parizan Bale to reach the last 16 of the Champions League. Overall, it was an inconsequential game, with a draw after taking out Atletico Madrid and Barcelona with an unrelated outcome that the Meilinger were able to accept, and Porto were quite satisfied with qualifying.

And it was this game, at the post-match press conference, Queiroz, in addition to captain Raul, also brought Francisco Alvarez, who "fell asleep after being tired on the field". Fran appeared in front of the reporters as if he had been thrown into a school of sharks, and the reporters raised their hands to try to fight for the right to ask questions, while Fran sat on the other side of Queiroz and looked at them with a calm expression. Of course, it is not only because of the last round of matches that it can attract so much attention, "Alvarez, in the new round of 30-man squad announced by the Swedish national team, your name is impressive, this is" The meaning of his words was already obvious, Raul and Queiroz each bowed their heads and did their own thing, Fran sighed in his heart, but his expression did not show the slightest sigh, "Yes, my mother is Swede, because of Mr. Lagerbeck's sincere invitation, I decided to join the Swedish national team." ”

Although this is basically a fait accompli, it is still different for the parties to admit it so calmly. Immediately, a few people did not wait to stand up to ask questions, and the scene of the press conference was a little chaotic, and Deco on the side of Porto looked at the group of reporters who were asking crazy questions below, and was more determined to go to a big club in his heart. Let's see, the national team problem of a new defender of Real Madrid can attract so much attention, do we need to find another reason? Mourinho, who has always been reluctant to play a supporting role, rarely watched this scene like a good show, and the Portuguese did not turn around and leave as usual.

Finally maintained the order of the scene, the person in charge of Real Madrid's news wiped the cold sweat that did not save zài, and looked at the head coach and team captain who still kept their heads silent and seemed to care whether their teammates lived or died, and some did not know what to do. I heard someone below ask, "Alvarez, do you mean that the Spanish national team has not contacted you to join?" The person who asked the question sat in the back row, not in an authority role, Fran looked for prestige, and when he saw Arnold Theodore standing up, he bowed his head and muttered 'It's you again', why are you so excited about an Englishman?

It's too obvious to dig a hole and there's no technical content, but it's just not easy to answer, and Raul can't continue to remain silent as the captain of the Spanish national team and the captain of the Real Madrid team. He cleared his throat, drawing people's attention for a moment, and Forlan finally relaxed a little when he saw the captain take over the conversation, and looked around, his eyes just happened to collide with the young Porto manager. The Portuguese even smiled kindly, and the pair of dimples on his cheeks added to the charm of the handsome manager. Fran nodded in greeting, in exchange for a smile that rose even more.

Forlan had already made a name for himself when he was in the reserves, but neither the Under-21s nor Spain at the beginning of the national team gave him an olive branch to play for the country. Journalists have already believed that Forlan joined the Swedish national team not because he preferred the latter between Spain and Sweden, but because he was revenge for Spain's neglect. What's more, Sweden, which is the No. 1 player in Nordic football in most people's eyes, is also very good, as he said, "Coach Lagerbeck sincerely invites", what reason does this young man have not to go? Seeing that the European Cup is about to start in half a year, there is nothing wrong with him wanting to qualify for such a major tournament.

Thinking of this, most of the reporters had already made up the plot of the story and turned to Mourinho with satisfaction. I saw the Portuguese sitting there calmly, not showing the slightest helplessness because they were neglected. A well-fitting suit looks particularly delicate on him, and his usual leaking aura is rare to endure, which even makes the reporters who saw him for the first time think of the title of 'Confucian Shuai'. Fran looked at the crowd and saw Mourinho adjusting the microphone and smiling.

Years later, when Mourinho's insolent smile and deep eyes became synonymous with 'uninhibited' in European football, Francisco Alvarez remembered the name Mourinho and his first impression was that he was personable, even though it turned out countless times that he might not be suitable for such an adjective.

"This game? Real Madrid's table is worthy of being the best team in La Liga, and Porto's table is sure to please the Porto fans who come to watch the game away. As for Alvarez," Mourinho suddenly mentioned the protagonist that everyone had just paid attention to, and the reporters thought that there would be some big news and hurriedly put pen to paper, and saw him turn his head and raise his eyebrows at Forlan, who was looking at him in a daze, "I watched his game video carefully before the game, and there is no doubt that this is a good player." And to lose this defender, I think even for Spain, is a loss. ”

A flash of light could not record Mourinho's words that feared the world would not be chaotic, but it could record the expression of surprise on Fran's eyes that widened instantly.

As for Mourinho's remarks, other countries are fine, but the media from Portugal have collectively maintained an eerie silence. No one wants to know more than them why this maverick who usually can't be dragged in the Portuguese Super League suddenly seems to be a different person, knowing that this young manager is not a coach who likes to praise other players.

And what answered them was the harmless smile of the Portuguese who made two intoxicating dimples.

――――――

The Champions League round of 16 is already clear, just wait for the draw ceremony to continue the struggle. In the league, Real Madrid 2:1 Deportivo La Coruna, Mallorca 1:3 Real Madrid, and Real Madrid defeated Regallis in the 1/16 finals of the Copa del Rey to advance to the round of 16. In this way, the vast majority of players in Europe finally ushered in a winter break where they could relax.

Of course, as a pastime for these players during the winter break, the Premier League will continue to work diligently for their Christmas schedule of double or even three games a week.

In Madrid, Guti irritated himself from his sealed soundproofed instrumental music room, walked to Arancha, who was sitting in the living room, and sat on the sofa with his daughter Zaira in his arms. Arancha, who was looking through fashion magazines, was disturbed by his series of actions, and did not pretend that nothing happened to ignore him, but thoughtfully handed him a piece of peeled fruit and asked, "Still can't you?"

"I've said it all, it's a big deal that I'll go to him with my guitar and play for him, and he'll have to play and sing by himself, isn't that nothing to do for himself?" Guti complained, and Arancha took it for granted, "He wants to confess to the girl on Valentine's Day, of course he wants to give her a confession that he will never forget." She said this very calmly, and she couldn't hear any envy interspersed with it. Of course, Guti understands this, but he is just really annoyed and complaining.

During the winter break, the romantic Christmas atmosphere all around Francisco Álvarez made him realize that he needed to put his love affairs on the agenda. He was sure that Benita liked him too, but even so, as Arancha said, he still wanted to give her a touching and unforgettable confession. Maybe he will become a star because of being a player in the future, but at least he hopes that the two of them can reap the same happiness as ordinary people. He doesn't entirely know what kind of confession Benita likes to look forward to as a college student, but a touching and attentive one can't go wrong after all.

It stands to reason that Guti shouldn't have such a big resistance, and Fran is not a beginner to the guitar, and many simple pieces can be played smoothly. Although he didn't know the staves, he could still read the simple notation, not to mention that he chose a slow-paced lyrical song like "makeyoufeelmylove", Guti thought it should be more relaxed. But who would have thought

With a click, the handle of the soundproof room turned, and Fran stepped out of it. Although Arancha said that he had known Fran for several years, he couldn't tell if this was his usual carelessness or if he was really hit, and saw him standing in front of Gutierrez's family of three and sighed, "It's too high to sing"

"How many times have you been told sù, tune it up, who told you to really howl up?" According to his deep voice, it would be hellish to be able to sing it! How many times has Guti told him, but this guy himself doesn't listen! He had to say the next second Fran said that he should have spoken, "But Bob Dylan doesn't sing like that." ”

You see, no matter how earnestly Guti instructed him, he threw it over with such a sentence.

Guti covered his face with his hands, "You have sung a soothing love song into a little fresh, are you embarrassed to tell me that Bob Dylan didn't sing like this?" But the cannon brother who covered his face still chattered, "It's true that he didn't sing like that, but can't you sing the original song?

"He asked me to sing 'Youraisemeup'" Fran rolled her eyes and explained to Arancha.

Guti stood up and threatened to punch him, but Fran was not afraid to bend down to greet Zaira in his arms. Ran checked that the two men were about to make a fuss again, and the woman, who was more than ten years older than Fran, cleverly handed the two of them a step, pretending to be forced to let Guti continue to go to the soundproof room to endure the persecution from Fran.

Alain looked at the two people who were fighting and went back, and laughed out loud.
