47.chapter 47
On 18 August, Sweden played a friendly against the Netherlands, and the national team players were brought together, which of course was often reluctant on the part of the club. After all, the player's salary is the responsibility of the club, and they go to work for the national team for day jobs, not to mention, once injured, it is the club that is unlucky. But despite this, they were reluctant to let their own players, and when the national team call-up order arrived, the club could only let the players go.
When Ajax watched the friendly match, their striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic kicked the heart of the Ajax midfield in the Dutch team, Van der Vaart, forcing the latter to be carried off the pitch halfway, the club side blackened their faces. When it was learned after the game that Van der Vaart needed to miss the next league second round against Breda, his face was not too ugly.
Van der Vaart is both captain of Ajax and the heart of the team's midfield, as well as a star of hope in the Dutch squad. The game was aborted in the middle of the game because of this accident, and seeing Ibrahimovic being pushed, Larsson hurriedly stopped this little teammate who was taller than his goalkeeper but still had a straight neck around him, and negotiated with the temporary captain of the game, Van Nistelrooy. Both sides rushed together, Forlan hurriedly dragged Ibrahimovic out of the center, and Sneijder, who also played for Ajax with Van der Vaart and had a good relationship, looked at the Ibrahimovic, who didn't say a word and didn't seem to feel that he had done anything wrong, and took advantage of the mixing of the captains and referees on both sides, and wanted to push away Forlan and Ibrahimovic's theory.
As a defender and more than ten centimeters taller than Sneijder, of course, Fran couldn't be pushed away by him so easily, Fran's always tainted expression on the field tried to hold it up, so as not to make himself appear more provocative, "It's just a friendly match, Zlatan didn't mean it, there's no need to be so stiff, right?" Sneijder frowned and looked at the guy in the way, like most people, the first thing that came to mind when he saw him was the label 'Real Madrid' on his body, although what he said was also reasonable, "But do you think he didn't mean it on purpose?" ”
Fran gave Eevee a look behind him, and said seriously, "Even if I didn't mean to, would it be useful to tell Wesley?"
What do you mean by "even if I didn't mean to"? What do you mean by "Does it work to tell Wesley"? It's not enough to offend one, but you have to provoke another one, right? If Fran hadn't remembered that he was wearing spiked shoes, he would have stepped on Ievee's shoes early and told him to shut up.
After all, his teammates have been in him for so long, and Sneijder knows what kind of character Ibrahimovic is, even if he knows that he can't be with him, he can stubbornly kill your stubborn temper. At this time, the referee also noticed that the trio formed a Wifi signal here, but he didn't feel funny at all, and hurriedly ran over to separate a few people, probably because the players were angry, and gave Sneijder and Forlan a yellow card when they had already given Ibrahimovic a yellow card.
Sneijder was fine, he guessed that this was a possible outcome the moment he came to Ibrahimovic, after all, it was just a yellow card in a friendly match, and it didn't make a difference. Forlan looked at the yellow card thrown to him by the referee with a confused face, and then counted the yellow card that was warned by the referee for his big action when defending before, two yellows turned into one red and he was sent off, becoming the only unlucky player in this chaos. God knows that he was afraid of the cards so he didn't squeeze into the core battlefield, he blocked Ibrahimovic just to persuade him, and he didn't even say much, why did he give himself a yellow card?
The baby was bitter, and the baby wanted to say, but the referee didn't listen.
Larsson twitched the corners of his mouth to look at his own defender, who seemed to have been knocked out of his body, and then glared at Eevee, who had no heart behind Fran and seemed to want to laugh. The audience watched the scene in its entirety through the footage of the stadium, and as Fran trotted off with a red card, Nasensen's grievances could be seen through the screen.
After that, the match ended in a draw between Sweden and the Netherlands, and the focus of the friendly seemed to be on the chaos in the middle of the game.
The Eredivisie started more than half a month earlier than La Liga, returning to Ajax from a friendly before hosting Breda on 22 August. Van der Vaart was unable to play due to injury, but Ajax still won 6-2. Among them, Ibrahimovic successfully scored a hat-trick and scored a goal in the 78th minute of the game to score more than seven men in a row, which can be called a classic among the classics. The Swede in the camera took the ball outside the penalty area and first used his body to carry the collision of a player, and then burst into the penalty area after shaking the three people with fancy footwork, and continued to juggle in the face of the two defenders' pressing and the goalkeeper's blocking, smashing the ball, stopping the ball, and shooting in one go, and the defenders of the Breda team looked very wolf in front of Ibrahimovic.
After the game, the world's major media called this goal "incredible", and his excellent sense of the ball and ball control ability made Ibrahimovic completely popular in football. But no one knew at the time that the miraculous goal, which was hailed as "comparable to Maradona's genius", was also Zlatan Ibrahimovic's last goal for Ajax. Ibrahimovic kicked Van der Vaart, Van der Vaart always believed that Ibrahimovic did it on purpose, the contradiction between the two was irreconcilable, in order to avoid internal strife in the team, Ajax could not sell their captain and team core, and could only let Ibrahimovic leave.
When Fran opened his phone in the morning and looked at the text message that said "Lao Tzu has transferred to !!! again", he had to sigh, and most of the resentment in his heart that he had carried a red card for him and was ridiculed by him had also disappeared. His character, tsk.
[Ajax's leading striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has moved to Italian club Juventus on a four-year contract for a transfer fee of 16 million euros.] 】
********************************************
Perhaps because of the usual treatment of Raul Guti and Casillas, the attitude of Forlan in the dressing room, who has been clearly reduced to a substitute, is not unlike last season. Francisco Alvarez's biggest flaw and most obvious advantage is that he has a big heart, he rarely takes outsiders seriously, let alone he still mixes well in the team.
With the results of previous matches unfavourable and the league about to start, most people in the dressing room will be under pressure. Zidane looked at the kid who obviously didn't have the main position but was still more leisurely than anyone else, and asked a little speechlessly, "Is it cool?" Fran grinned, not knowing if he understood what Zidane meant, "There are people above me." ”
Zidane sneered and raised his hand to rub the little curly hair, but was directly dodged by bowing his head.
The first league game at the end of August is not far away, and Real Madrid is training and working with the squad. After the 3000-meter run and jump in the morning, Camacho signaled everyone to start the group competition after the technical exercise in the afternoon, Forlan took the substitute vest handed over by the assistant coach, Camacho's coaching staff still has a few assistant coaches of Real Madrid itself, facing the eyes of the familiar coach Mr. Fran grimaced, turned around and ran to the field with a new face.
'Actually, the back three is pretty good,' Forlan comforted himself, 'and on the left and right are Sisco and Álvaro, although naturally not as strong as Carlos and Salgado, but I'm actually a lot more down-to-earth.' Forlan, who was a member of the bench team, naturally took over the role of the heart of the bench defence, and as he told Carvajal, it was of course easier for him to gain experience against the superstars in training matches.
Raul has never been known for speed, and it was when Ronaldo and Owen went straight down that they gave people a first-hand look at what it's like to be 'outrageously fast'. Although it is well known that after the injury of Da Luo in Inter Milan, the alien was out of peak condition for a while, and it also made proud people like Maradona say sad words such as 'Ronaldo is injured and lost his God in the football world', but everyone knows that Ronaldo, who is considered to have returned to Earth after the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, is still the alien.
Possess a strong body, open speed, strong explosiveness, invincible technique and football spirituality. Flicking the tail of the ox, piercing the crotch, making emergency stops, arranging flowers, pendulums, he has countless artistic ways of passing people, and it does not look like he has suffered a serious knee injury at all, although he has been much more restrained than before. And the most desperate thing about defenders and goalkeepers is that you are close, tackle, pull clothes, stumble, fall to the ground and pounce, he always has countless ways to pass you, and will always ignore your choice to push the empty goal.
And what about Michael Irving, what is terrifying is not his ability to hold the ball up front, nor his ability to break through, but no one wants to see Michael Irving running without any worries. The boy who chases the wind still runs like the wind, so that people can't even catch it.
Forlan looked at the two who were going hand in hand, and before he could take a solid step towards Ronaldo, the Brazilian, who had already seen his shift, immediately shifted the ball to Owen. Owen's unloading was extremely beautiful, he threw away Pavin with a turn, and Forlan immediately made up for it, but he couldn't compare to a striker in terms of foot work, Owen was about to break into the penalty area with his back to it, Fran's first thought was Casillas, who was not fully trusted by him, and the next second he was already autonomously turning his back to shovel.
Owen fell in the box and the referee blew the whistle.
Fran subconsciously spread his hands to show his innocence, and when he realized what he had done in the practice match, he hurriedly reached out to Owen to pull him up. Michael Owen looked down and rubbed his ankle, as if he didn't see him respond in courtesy. Fran looked at Arbeloa at a trotting in awkwardness, and Fran was sure he hadn't kicked the Englishman, but it was a dangerous move for the team's practice match, and it was a bit of a loss.
Owen quickly stood up, and the cloud lightly patted Fran on the shoulder and ran away, as if there was no effect. But Fran had a chill in his back, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Owen's back, he looked at this star, he didn't have anything to do with him, compared to his bad impression, Fran preferred to believe that he was really running too fast, so he would be stricter than he expected.
And after this brief accident, until the end of the training match, Fran, who had always been attentive in a qiē game, was in a state of distraction, and even the defense was extremely tiptoeing.
