The summer of '03 wasn't easy, at least for Manchester United.

They lost Beckham this summer, the lord seems to be a lot older at this moment, but the stubborn old man will never admit it, he still has a whole team to carry, the departure of Manchester United's number seven means that he must once again find a midfielder for Manchester United who is enough to replace him, fortunately he still got a piece of jade in Lisbon, and he can definitely become a talent under careful carving.

Real Madrid have been a little too crazy this summer, they have been swinging money to take away a lot of the stars from other leagues, they have made all the headlines in the summer and all the headlines have been about the star-studded stars of the Galacticos, and no one cares about Castilla, the Real Madrid academy that has suffered the biggest blow since the superstar policy was introduced.

Perhaps the news of Captain Castilla's sudden retirement was enough to set off a wave, but it was also as fleeting as a bird, and it would soon be drowned in the huge flood of information from Real Madrid.

-- Alex Ferguson's office has an uninvited guest.

Juan Dias, former captain of Castilla, was once considered the most likely player to be promoted to the first team after Raul, Guti and Casillas...... He said "former" and "was" because he quietly retired in a week - at the age of 21, which is just starting out in football.

Juan sat on the couch in a posture rarely seen among players, his eyebrows lowered.

His appearance was really rare among the players, not as handsome as Beckham, but with a kind of amazing delicate depth, dark gold hair like quicksand soft to the side of the ear, noticing Ferguson's look and looking up at him, and then bowing his head again, his hesitant appearance reflected in the turquoise iris, full of almost overflowing melancholy enough to make the old Scotsman sigh.

What's it like to fall in love with a heartbreaking team?

He could only get up and pat the young man on the shoulder: "You really don't think about starting as a teaching assistant?" Even if you are a physical trainer, you can be a translator in terms of your ability. ”

In response, the young man just tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then shook his head.

"I know you mean well." When he spoke, the young man's voice was a little hoarse, which was not a voice suitable for roaring on the pitch, but Ferguson saw with his own eyes that when he was running on the pitch, he didn't even have to shout desperately for his players to notice his presence. "It's just that the doctor said that it would be better not to touch football for the time being, but I was reluctant to ......"

Ferguson expressed understanding: "Then there is nothing wrong with your body now, right?" Juan continued to shake his head, without saying a word. The old man sighed secretly and got up: "Okay then, you settle down in the youth dormitory in Carrington first, and report tomorrow." ”

"Academy?" Juan thought for a moment and nodded, "Thank you very much." ”

After leaving Ferguson's office, Juan took a deep breath and looked out at the pitch from afar.

On the training ground, a few fiery red dots were jumping and training, and a white ball was passing between them, and the elves flying up and down reminded him of a familiar scene far away in the Iberian Peninsula for a moment, and finally he closed his eyes and walked away without looking back.

Ferguson stood in front of the window and looked at his back, his brow furrowed slightly.

Juan Díaz was the captain of Castilla, and Manchester United wanted to buy or even loan the kid around 00, but his own intention was to stay with the team...... What I didn't expect was that it would be such a scene to see him at the Carrington base.

- A car accident is enough to ruin a genius.

In reality, Juan was not as desperate and discouraged as Ferguson seemed, and he was even somewhat glad. After all, surviving a car crash is already a great thing, and the only problem is that I have had an extra ...... since then Old babysitter?

Just as he was thinking about it, his phone began to vibrate, Juan picked it up, sighed and picked it up. “hola……”

"Juan, where are you now?" It was obvious that he didn't see Juan, which made the person on the other end of the phone very panicked, but he was trying to calm down, and Juan rubbed his eyebrows. "I'm in Manchester."

"Why did you get to Manchester?!" The composure was shattered all at once, and the person on the other end of the phone was about to scream.

"It's okay Jose, my agent arranged for me to come, I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you." Juan tried to say in a calmer tone, "He wants me to go outside and relax, and by the way, do something away from the training ground, and help me tell Igor that I'm calm and I'm fine, okay?" ”

"Can't you just talk to him?"

“…… Mr. José Gutiérrez, in terms of our friendship, I'm sure you don't like to call people that much, do you? He's right next to you, say hello to me, and Raul, goodbye. ”

- His old nanny was not Guti, but Igor Casillas.

Everyone in Castile knows that Juan Díaz is so good that no matter how happy Igor Casillas was that day, he always provoked Igor with the right deal.

Igor is a good-natured player, and no matter how provocative his opponent is, he always maintains maximum sanity, but this sanity does not work when he meets Juan. The two seem to have a feud, and they keep hurting each other when they see each other.

When he was in Castia, Igor had the feat of "like a girl" four times in a row, and Juan's answer to this was to break Igor's door twenty times in a row - twenty times! At the end of the training match, everyone almost watched how Juan kicked the ball into the goal! However, it is also an indisputable fact that Igor honed his skills quickly in the confrontation with Juan.

Raul and Guti both laughed and said that Juan and Igor really have a deep relationship, whether it is to hurt each other or to export is a joke, if it continues like this, Real Madrid will definitely have a pair of good friends with great feelings in the future.

However, there were unforeseen storms, it was raining in Spain for a long time that day, and Juan, who went to the hospital from the dormitory to see his grandmother, was stuck on the road because he didn't have a driver's license, and Igor happened to be outside, so he took a long detour to pick him up, and they were casually bickering and talking about boring things in the car as usual, but the two of them got serious when they talked.

What was the topic at that time, the future of Real Madrid? Juan thought casually, under the leadership of the administrator, he opened the door of the dormitory with his light luggage, looked around, the environment was very quiet, and after thanking the administrator, Juan began to pack his things.

At that time, I don't know who first started to get emotional, or if the two of them were together?

The high-speed car almost crashed into the wall against the truck, Igor's car didn't pop the airbag, and Juan slammed into the windshield almost unsuspectingly—the young man didn't pull on his seatbelt.

In an accident that could not be called terrible, Igor scrapped a car, and he himself was unharmed, only frightened; Juan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was covered in blood and unconscious, and this coma was seven days.

When he woke up, Juan's personality changed drastically, and he could almost fall silent for the whole day, paying no attention to anyone who spoke, but only looked out the window and seemed to be pondering something, until Raul and Guti came with Igor, who refused to come in to see, that he reacted a little—glaring at them with a kind of hellish look.

"Juan, are you alright?" Guti sat on the edge of the bed and slapped his hand with a big grin, "The doctor said you had a concussion, and you may not be able to remember anything now, but remember the three of us, right?" ”

Juan opened his mouth hesitantly.

"Raul, Guti...... San Cassie? ”

"Saint?" As soon as this sentence came out, the three of them were stunned, and Raul smiled helplessly: "What is this new way to hurt people?" Juan, don't tease Igor, he's not feeling good at all right now. ”

Calm and silent for a moment, Juan rubbed his head. "Nothing, I just thought I might have had a dream." For example, these three people in front of them became the mainstay of the team, and then they were sold by Real Madrid to various Bundesliga, Turkish and Portuguese leagues or something......

"Then your dream has been going on for too long, it's been seven days." Guti smiled and beckoned to Casillas who was standing at the door: "Come on, Igor, Juan is fine, you can rest assured." ”

When Casillas finally couldn't help but take two steps inside, Juan narrowed his eyes.

He clearly remembered that before he fell unconscious, this person still had the energy to yell at him, "Don't die", why did he look more haggard than him now?

"He has hardly eaten or drunk for the past seven days, and he has only guarded you." Raul said gently, "José and I will go buy some water first, and you can talk." He naturally saw that the atmosphere between the two people was not normal, especially Igor, and it was better to give them a space to decide this kind of thing.

Casillas didn't say anything, he's only 21 years old now, and although he's been playing in the Champions League for a long time, he's just a kid after all, and he doesn't even know what to say - in the past, when the two of them were together, they must have had a round of verbal battles before they could talk properly.

But it is clear that today is not the right time to do so.

Juan looked at the man standing in the doorway and bowed his head and refused to say anything, and slowly frowned.

"If you don't want to see me, leave and no one will stop you." Of course, he said this sentence only subconsciously provocatively, in the past, they started to "chat" from Juan's initiative, but who knew that today, Cassie did not speak, and his eyes had become red when he slowly raised his head.

"I'm sorry."

Juan was startled, was silent for a while, and waved his hand a little awkwardly: "It's just a small injury, don't worry too much." ”

"Then why did you retire?" He was almost stunned when he heard the news, he saw Juan's agent Jorge Mendes during training that day, and he wanted to go over and ask about Juan's situation, but who knew that he heard that person say to the coach of the team - he is retiring due to health reasons?!

Hearing the news of this thunderbolt on a sunny day, Igor couldn't sit still, he pulled Raul and Guti, who were dazed, and hurried to the hospital to ask about the situation, but it was obvious that Juan kept his news secret, and the two people didn't know at all.

Juan was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "It's none of your business. ”
