7 Compliments from two of the best men on the field

Back in his hotel room, Leo was planning to watch a replay of the other match tonight – Real Madrid vs Villarreal. Then I heard the mobile phone ringing, and when I took it over, it turned out to be a call from Zidane. The corners of his mouth hooked unconsciously, and he couldn't wait to pick up the phone to hear what his father had to say about tonight's game.

Zidane naturally did not hesitate to praise his son's excellent performance tonight: "I played a great game tonight, I am proud of you. ”

Leo spent the night receiving compliments from others, from his team-mates, from the fans, from the coaches and staff, and even from the opponents. But no matter which person's compliments, even they combined, they couldn't excite him more than the 'I'm proud of you' coming out of the receiver of the phone at this time.

A smile of genuine joy bloomed on Leo's face, and he realized that he was a little silly, and the person on the other end of the line couldn't see it at all: "Really? Do you really think my table xiàn today is great? ”

"Of course!" Zidane laughed: "My brothers have been screaming for you until now, my mother has been swiping comments about you on Twitter, I was pleasantly surprised by how fast you run, and your Marseille maneuver looks much more skilled than before." ”

To be recognized by Zidane and his family, Leo is happy from the bottom of his heart: "I have been practicing the Marseille maneuver alone for a long time, but I lack actual combat experience, I only dare to use it once when the opponent is defenseless." Later, I didn't dare to use it anymore, for fear of being discovered by the other party, and it was also because they stared at me too closely after that, and there was no good opportunity. ”

The Marseille slalom is a flamboyant and practical personal escape technique that rotates the ball back in a 180-degree rotation during the forward dribble, turns away from the defender, and then passes or shoots, or continues to advance with the ball. The whole action needs to be done in one go. Especially when the two sides seem to have equal chances to get the ball, they can take the initiative unexpectedly.

This action was first brought to the European stage by Argentine superstar Maradona, and was carried forward by Zidane in top competitions and is well known by the majority of fans. Gradually, some fans called this iconic dribble Zidane's slalom, but Zidane has always been a humble man, he was born in Marseille, France, so he named this move Marseille slalom, and the name has been used to this day.

Zidane is undoubtedly Leo's enlightenment teacher for the sport of football, whether it was Leo in the past or now. Naturally, he has no reservations about his son: "What does it matter if I fail, I don't always use Marseille maneuvers to pass 100 percent." While practicing diligently, you must dare to try, it doesn't matter if you lack experience, you can use it more in the confrontation training with your teammates, and find problems in repeated attempts to better improve, and your teammates and coaches will also give you some good suggestions. No matter how great a footballer is, there will be mistakes, and all you have to do is train hard and keep them to a minimum. ”

Leo feels that although he has not spent too much time with Zidane, he has benefited a lot from every conversation. Zinedine Zidane's name has always been followed by many accolades, but he never saw himself as a star, but as a footballer. It has been 9 years since he retired, but he still insists on training with the players, and as he grows older, although his physical fitness cannot keep up, he still maintains a super high level of football.

Leo added: "When I first came to Granada, I didn't know my teammates very well, so I wasn't too embarrassed to practice in front of them, and I practiced alone after training. I will communicate more with my teammates and listen to their opinions in the future. ”

Zidane is very pleased with his son's rapid understanding, this kid has been reborn since the dissolution of Real Madrid's C team, and he is like the ignorant little boy who didn't know how to grow up. He continued: "On the pitch, every time you get the ball, whether it's dribbling, passing to a team-mate, or shooting straight at goal, it's just to get the ball into the opponent's goal. Fancy dribbling and flashy footwork are not the end in themselves, just a way to win. Your fitness problems have always been my concern, so you must communicate more with your fitness coach in your daily training and ask him to develop some more effective training plans for you to improve your endurance on the field. And most importantly, ...... You have to eat less dessert. ”

"Didn't eat it." Leo replied reflexively almost as soon as he finished speaking, but he had only eaten a piece of tiramisu yesterday.

Zidane was clearly amused by his son's endearing reaction. He asked again: "Really didn't steal food?" I know you're a sweet tooth. ”

Leo simply hates his little girl's food preferences, but he just has no resistance to sweet things. He was silent for a moment before hesitating: "Just ...... I just ate a little bit when I was resting, but there was absolutely no overdose. ”

"......" Zidane was almost killed by his son, so he saw that it was not early, so he instructed: "Mom told you to take care of your body, and when you have time to rest, go home to see your brothers, and rest early." ”

Leo hung up the phone in response to his father's advice, opened the Xiaoice box in the suite, took out a small piece of dessert from it, put it on the coffee table, and turned on the TV to call up the replay of the Real Madrid game.

With a spoon in his hand, he frowned at the small cake that looked very delicious, and his mind was his father's sentence that he must eat less desserts, but the tip of his nose keenly captured the rich aroma of creamy sweetness.

In the end, the cake defeated Zidane, and Leo hypnotized himself first: "I'm so thin, it shouldn't matter if I eat some cake...... I'll just take a bite and taste it......"

So when he raised his head with a cake in one hand and a spoon in the other, he saw on TV that only 8 minutes into the game, No. 8 striker Soldado scored the first goal for the submarine, and the score was rewritten to 1-0, and Real Madrid fell behind.

It turned out that it was not only Barcelona but also the Galaxy Battleship that lost McCity tonight, Real Madrid couldn't attack the goal of Villarreal for a long time throughout the game, Benzema missed a good opportunity, and Ronaldo missed the goal by a fraction...... In the camera, Ronaldo's anxiety and helplessness were about to erupt from the TV screen.

Leo eats a bite of cake and glances at TV, and Ronaldo breaks through with the ball...... Cristiano Ronaldo's barb shot...... Cristiano Ronaldo scrambles for a header...... Ronaldo yelled in frustration...... Ronaldo can't wait for his own □□ skills, one person is used for ten people, and the machine is always tireless on the field to seek any possible victory, and his teammates are only responsible for wasting opportunities (stupid horse: I don't carry this pot).

Leo's phone rang again, this time a text message from the number 7 in the white jersey on the TV: "Little thing, are you a Marseille slalom that you have been secretly practicing for a few months, just waiting to take it out tonight and slap Barcelona in the face?" It's a pity that Messi didn't play. ”

It turned out that Ronaldo, like him, was also watching the game replay, and Leo wondered: "You're about to kill yourself, why do you have spare time to squeeze me if you don't reflect on it?" ”

He put the spoon in his mouth and typed with one hand: "Where is a few months enough, I have been practicing for more than ten years." I didn't want to slap my face, I just thought about trying the results of the practice, but I didn't expect the results to be unexpectedly good. Leo was a little proud, obviously wanting Ronaldo to praise him, listening to the praise all night tonight, and finally getting the recognition of the first brother in today's football, this night was perfect.

However, Ronaldo's text message replied with the content: "Your stop ball is about to stop at the opponent's feet, can you go a little farther?" It's okay to run blindly on the field, you still need the coach's prompt to fill the position, the defense knows to destroy outside the sideline, you played the ball for 20 minutes, you are as tired as a dog, how bad your physical fitness is, come back and continue to play the B team, your dad must still have the captain's armband for you......"

Leo was dumbfounded holding his mobile phone, and said in his heart: "You are so busy and ask if my dad left me the captain's armband?" ”

He thought about it carefully, although every point Ronaldo said was indeed his current shortcomings, but he insisted that the machine was angry with him when he lost. decided not to be like this kind of person who reverts back to 3 years old at every turn mental age, so he replied with a text message to comfort him: "You are very handsome today, you are very handsome when you compete for the header, you are very handsome when you break through with the ball, you are also very handsome when you step on a bicycle, and the barb shot is handsome...... Oh, so handsome even when you roar. ”

Until Leo ate a whole piece of cake into his stomach and cleaned up the crime scene before his roommate Marchis came back, he didn't receive a text message reply from Ronaldo, and he suddenly reacted that they were not very familiar with each other, did he show too much disrespect for his predecessors?

Just when he was hesitating to send another text message to Ronaldo, Marchis, who had been out all night, pushed the door in like a gust of wind, and then pounced on him and complained: "We won Barcelona tonight, and you, the biggest hero, didn't go out to celebrate with us, and hid in the room alone to watch the replay of the Real Madrid game?" ”

Leo still wondered if he was too indiscriminate in his words, after all, Ronaldo lost tonight, and just nodded perfunctorily at the noise of his teammates: "I don't like to join in the fun, I just like to stay alone." ”

"Elderly, retire quickly." Marchis sniffed: "I seem to smell the cream......"

Leo didn't raise his head, kept staring at his phone: "yes, why didn't I smell it?" ”

As soon as Marchis entered the house, he saw him staring at his phone, and suddenly snatched his phone: "Are you waiting for a text message from your girlfriend?" ”

Girlfriend? Leo thought about Ronaldo's appearance, 185CM in size, eight-pack abs, and long legs...... He said he was frightened. Marchis didn't mean to look at his mobile phone, seeing him sitting on the sofa calmly, feeling bored and about to return the phone to him, suddenly the phone rang, Marchis subconsciously glanced at the screen, and shouted: "Ahh!!h ”

Leo snatched his phone from his hand, stopped his howl with an eye knife, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

Ronaldo's voice sounded very magnetic in the quiet of the night: "Little thing, you are also very handsome today, you are very handsome in acceleration, Marseille is very handsome, you are very handsome in a single knife, you are also very handsome in heading, you are almost handsome over me." ”

Leo asked curiously, "How much worse?" ”

Ronaldo thought for a moment: "It depends on how hard you work. ”

Leo said, "Do 3,000 sit-ups a day like you and soak in the gym on your days off? ”

No one can insist on doing 3,000 sit-ups a day, and although Ronaldo is known as a machine person, he is not really a machine person. Leo said this obviously jokingly, but Ronaldo was interested: "It seems that you pay attention to me very much, you even know that I go to the gym on my day off, are you also my fan?" ”

"The major newspapers are your headlines every day, and it's hard not to pay attention to them." He thought for a moment and added: "There really is someone in our family who is your fan, my youngest brother, and he has a lot of your posters, autographs, jerseys and ...... in his room."

"You mean Theo Jr., you didn't play as well as him when you were his age."

Leo couldn't help but whistle softly: "I don't know how those who used to say that I didn't play well felt after tonight?" ”

Ronaldo chuckled: "Young man, you have to be humble, because you never know what your next game will be." But......" His tone suddenly became serious: "Your watch tonight is very eye-catching, and it is like two completely different people from the little Zidane I knew before." Tomorrow the headlines will change from me to you, and I'm looking forward to the race against Granada this season, and then I'll give me a good look at your Marseille sleuvel. ”
