181 Extra: When Fran Retires (6)

1、

There was a remarkable scene outside of the Champions League.

Although it was previously reported by tabloids that Groningen head coach Francisco Alvarez was in a coma at his home due to excessive stress and fever, and was taken to the hospital by a friend who was visiting him. But most people didn't take it seriously, because they couldn't imagine anything that would make Fran feel 'overwhelmed'.

Fran's friends were of course the first to call to condole and confirm, and the voice on the other end of the line was hoarse and weak, so different from what he had done before, and if he hadn't said several times that he was just sleeping, they would have almost believed the tabloid story.

But others believed it, could Ibrahim, who personally put Fran in the hospital, believe it?

"Listen to you, could you be asleep in that state? Russells' kid is so loud that Sisko, who never cares about anything in your house, can't look at it, and keeps biting his trouser leg, and you're still buried in the quilt and never woke up. Ibrahimovic unceremoniously flipped Fran's bottom.

Fran was not in good spirits and didn't want to speak, so he could only roll his face into the air and roll his eyes one after another. This gesture was understood by Eevee as daring to be angry and not daring to speak, and Eevee, who had always been accustomed to being scolded by Fran to the point of being speechless, had nothing to say, and felt more and more pitiful to Fran.

"Why do you have to be a manager when you get all the accolades you can get when you're a player?" Ibrahimovic muttered softly, "Do you like football that much?"

Many people think that Forlan's achievements are due to good luck, and his achievements as a player are of course irrefutable, but coaching seems to be more about unexpected wins. Just like many people thought at the beginning, why Mourinho's second time at Chelsea and his first two years as Manchester United manager were not as good as when he first started at Chelsea?

But Ibrahimovic knows that even if Forlan always appears on the sidelines in a flamboyant package that is too glamorous for a manager, it is just that he still wants to maintain a youthful mentality, rather than use these methods to make a splash. The room was full of materials, familiar with the performances of the kids in the Academy, a set of tactical line-ups that overturned and reset, and videos of opponents watched over and over again. Ibrahimovic doesn't dare to say that he did more than anyone else as a manager, but at least he really turned the page on everything as a player and really wanted to be a good manager.

The reason for all this is that Ibrahimovic can't find any other reason than his love for football. And because of these, Ibrahimovic thinks that the statement of 'too much pressure' is actually not an exaggeration.

"You really don't have to be under that much pressure," Ibrahimovic chuckled, "do you really think that when you say you will take me to a Champions League title, I will be upside down because I really value a Champions League? ”

"I just feel like at the end of my career, it's great to have you around. It would be even more beautiful if we could win the Champions League along the way. ”

Forlan sighed, of course he understood that where Ibrahimovic was thinking about a Champions League title, he wanted to give him a Champions League title.

He still remembers that a few years ago, the media promoted Lewandowski as 'Van Basten Jr.', which was already the highest praise for a young striker for those players who almost watched the official contact with football in Serie A at that time. But a lot of things are actually like this, fans are reluctant to admit who their idol is, because Lewandowski is Lewandowski, and this mentality can be understood by Fran. Just as Ji Yi would rather call Van Nistelrooy the 'King of the Lesser Exclusion Zone' rather than the 'King of the Small-Penalty Zone', she doesn't think that Vanney, who has already achieved countless things, is the second to Romario, the king of the former Forbidden Zone, and Vanney is Vanney.

But Forlan also knows too well the forgetfulness of this green field, why he wishes Ronaldo the European Cup and Messi can have the Copa America, all because he doesn't want them to retire and rise up, people only see the glory of that batch of Real Madrid or Barcelona, and because of the results of the national team, their performance at their peak is in vain.

"If Zlatan Ibrahimovic is really strong, why doesn't he have a Champions League title?"

Fran didn't want countless people to use this fluttering phrase to deny everything about Eevee years from now.

The winner doesn't mean everything, but sometimes the winner just happens to be the one who records everything.

The Champions League game was still going on, and Forlan didn't pay attention to the camera's attention to him, sitting in the dugout, sneezing, and wrapping his down jacket a little tighter. Originally, the club thought that he was seriously ill and did not need to come to Moscow with the team, but Fran always felt that even if he came to sit here, he would not only reassure himself but also the team.

Fran touched his clogged nose, still feeling hot and uneasy in the cold conditions of Moscow. As soon as he wanted to stand up and move, he was stuffed with a full cup of hot water by Robben in the rotation next to him, Fran took the cup of hot water in a daze, Robben smiled like a loving father next to him, which made Fran shiver even more. "Since Xiao Kai grew up, I haven't stared at people like this for a long time, and I didn't expect to be able to stare at the head coach who is not as obedient as a child. Robben said with emotion.

"Luka is also planning to become a professional footballer?" Forlan asked Robben in a hoarse voice when he saw that Groningen had a one-goal lead on the field. Seeing that Robben frowned and didn't speak, he could only obediently pour a glass of water into it slowly. Only then did Robben speak, "He likes football very much, but he also likes tennis, who knows in the future, it's up to him to choose." Robben, the former little prince of tennis, said and took the water glass, feeling in his heart that this task of taking care of Fran was not as difficult to complete as he imagined.

He thought about it and mentioned it in a good mood, "It's Robin's Shaquille, who is really a little genius who will definitely go to football." "I've also heard of Shaquille van Persiefran and knows that he is now a key target of the academy at Feyenoord. Fran wanted to ask something, but saw Robben next to him hand over another cup of hot water, and Fran could only continue to stop helplessly.

Fran was stared at by Robben and drank water, and the scene was also filmed by the camera throughout the whole process, Fran just wanted to sigh, it seems that this game is really boring to the extreme, so that the camera can only focus on himself.

As everyone knows, everyone on the Internet expressed surprise at Fran's rare weak state, and took screenshots one after another, saying that they didn't expect Fran to be so obedient after getting sick, and he struck the cute point strangely. A group of people at the bottom said that you were actually poked by a forty-year-old man, and there was no one to be cute.

Of course, Fran's fans expressed distress for the pitiful little appearance of the idol who was sick and had no one to take care of him, and usually felt that if he was alone, everything would be fine if he felt that he was used to it, that is, when he was sick, he always hoped that someone could accompany him.

Manchester United lost to Barcelona and Manchester City lost to Bayern Munich, if the Premier League media is still in the mood to laugh at 'La Liga can't monopolize the final this time' to express condolences to Atletico Madrid's group stage elimination, the round of 16 suddenly folded two highly anticipated players, making the Premier League feel that conspiracy theories are worthy of the IQ of the Football Federation.

Fortunately, Arsenal still has a chance, and the Premier League can still grit its teeth and say that it is still looking forward to it.

The results of the Champions League quarterfinals came out, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Porto, Juventus and Groningen.

In fact, when Groningen's opponent was determined to be CSKA Moscow, basically people didn't think that this Russian Premier League team could stop Groningen, who broke through from the first place in the group from Manchester United, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid, but when they really saw this team that was not ranked in the Eredivisie suddenly broke into the Champions League quarterfinals, people had to bet their attention on this team and his highly personal manager.

Every team that Groningen will face will face difficulties for them, but the reality is that the rest of the clubs are unanimous in their desire not to be against Groningen.

Fran wasn't sure if they really found Groningen easy to deal with, or if they were just superficially modest. Anyway, for him, since no one is easy to deal with, then everyone is the same.

A group of people gathered to wait for the result, and the young men from Groningen stayed together at the house of the talkative little goalkeeper, chanting louder and louder as the draw progressed, "Real Madrid, Real Madrid, Real Madrid-"

Obviously, Forlan didn't know the mentality of his young players who were rushing to find abuse, and looked at Groningen's opponent as Dortmund, and felt that this result could not be said to be good or bad.

But for better or worse, when he heard a "Real Madrid" ghost cry outside the dressing room the next day, Dortmund would be good for Forlan.

The author has something to say: Actually, I don't think Lewandowski and Basten are similar, but occasionally there is always such a connection in the media. I can understand that many Lewandowski fans don't like this title, because Lewandowski who has successfully kicked out is no longer anyone's successor, he is himself. But in fact, many Dutch fans, especially Basten fans, are also confused about this title... Because, well, it's because Lewandowski doesn't look much like Basten.

I have these feelings because my friend complained to me, she went to the tiger and tore up with a Lewandowski fan girl, that girl may be angry for a while or something, and said 'Van Basten has no championship to make Lewandowski follow suit'. Jiyou is a Milan fan, so of course she blew up 2333.She later told me about it, "Regardless of Makou's performance in the Netherlands, why didn't he have a title in Milan?"

I've said it countless times, my family is the uncrowned king, but I really have a European Cup that Uncle Van Ba won back.

In fact, this is probably the case, the green field is forgetful, although we can say that there are still video materials to relive the glory of the past, but ten years later most people only remember the name of the champion, or maybe it is not enough to have the Champions League, Mr. Football, and the European Cup in hand like Ma Kou.

I feel sorry for Ronaldo.

Let's go to his World Cup winner. 166 Reading Network
