Chapter 241: National Team Match Day
[You? You can't do anything. 】
This was supposed to be a space with a loud voice and could accommodate tens of thousands of people, but because of the Frenchman's words that seemed so soft when he spoke, all sound was lost in Lei Yi's ears. That's of course, because this cold and hard sentence suddenly aroused many unforgettable moments in the boy's heart.
[So let me ask you again, do you remember the amount of prize money that Lazio gave you at the end of last season?] 】
"Promise me, Leiy.] Stay at home these days, don't get caught by those reporters, okay? 】
[If we fail to register for the first division in the new season, we will lose the group stage place of the first World Champions Cup, which we have already obtained.] In line with the same league substitution principle in the World Champions Cup, Inter Milan, who finished second in the table last season, will fill the void that we left after our disqualification. 】
[If you sell me, how much can I get in exchange?] 】
[I love the team, it's a great championship team!] Now that she's been framed, she's going to be demoted! I know which team did it, but they're still coming to buy me! That's the biggest insult to me! It doesn't matter if it's 58 million, or 580 million, I'm not going to go to this kind of team that doesn't decide on the court! 】
When he was taken back to the police station for investigation by the Roma police, he called his manager in a hurry at the door of the police station, only to get advice that he did not dare to continue thinking about it, the truth behind the Serie A infighting from his vice-captain, and the struggle he made to help his beloved team retain their qualification for next season's First Division.
Even the most optimistic people in the world can't forget the scenes that stuck in their minds, and the deep frustration and powerlessness that hung in their minds.
And now, when that scene kept coming back to his mind, all he could hear was Nikolai's words:
[You? You can't do anything. 】
So he forgot about the quarrel, he also forgot about arguing with his current manager, even he didn't remember how he walked back to the bench, and after sitting on the bench chair, the images that he didn't feel when he was the manager, but couldn't help but hate when he remembered it afterwards.
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with Thunder Wing, one of the substitutes sitting next to him called out his name with some uncertainty.
“ha? ha? ”
After calling out his name twice and still not getting an answer, the player gave Lei Yi a puzzled look before patting him on the leg. So Lei Yi suddenly came back to his senses in a daze and turned his head to look at the other party.
"Are you okay?"
Then, Lei Yi nodded to his teammates sitting there with hindsight, and then frowned at the stadium that seemed to have nothing to do with him......
In the end, the third round of the Champions League group stage ended in defeat for Tottenham. After this game, it's the regular national team break. Although there are still three and a half years to go before the next World Cup, there will never be only the World Cup in official competitions between national teams. The Asian Cup, the European Cup, and the Copa America are all continental national team competitions that take place in a different year from the World Cup year, and also once every four years.
It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to hold international competitions on a regular basis. FIFA regulations do require national teams to have two days of international breaks almost every month, except for the summer holidays and the busiest months of club fixtures.
When that day comes, whether it is the inter-club competitions in each country, or the inter-club competitions such as the Champions League and the Europa League, they will have to make way for it.
On that national team break day in early September, the Chinese team did not call up Lei Yi because he had just transferred to a new team, and because it was a "too sudden transfer", they did not call up Lei Yi. At the same time that Ray Yi encountered a terrible ball drought that he had never encountered in his career, his national team head coach Andrik also specifically told Ray Yi to be more patient to adapt to his new team.
And now, the friendly match between the Chinese team and the Serbian team held in mid-October has become a timely rain for Lei Yi.
That's because, of course, it's been a long time since he's played a competitive game as a starter. Perhaps for others, more than ten days is not a "long time" at all. But for Lei Yi, it was more than ten days like a year.
If it had been before that away Champions League match between Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, Raywing would have been overjoyed to receive this call-up from the national team. Because it means that he can finally return to the position he is used to after such a long time on the cold bench, and he is the absolute workhorse!
But after his coach Nikolai said to him, "You? You can't do anything. After that, he wasn't so happy.
His mind began to obsess with the question of whether he could do anything about it.
The Frenchman who said this to him would not have known that his words, uttered without much thought, would plunge Lei Yi into such deep thought and memories of what had happened in the past six months.
This "do something" does not mean scoring one or several goals in a game, but rather ...... When he was so eager to change something or protect something, he was strong enough to "do something."
All the while, he was always able to get what he wanted naturally.
When he was 15 years old, he wanted to start his life with football again, or even the days of making a living from football. So he embarked on a big adventure with the help of a group of friends, and he had never trained for a day in any football academy, so he impressed the head coach of the national team with ease. And when he didn't know anything about the club system of modern football, he was recommended by his own national team coach to his hometown, the coach of the Brazilian team Sao Paulo.
At the age of 17, he thought about where he should go in the future because of his friend's remark that "the center of world football is not here", and became famous when the World Cup came, and thus received an olive branch from Sporting Lisbon and Porto.
When he wants to score, he can do things that seem incredible.
He's got a dribbling skill that you can't find in football today, and when he thinks he's going to win a game, he's always going to do a lot in that game, a lot.
He was the darling of football, before coming to Tottenham Hotspur.
It was when that huge change came that he realized how small he was to the whole football world, and he couldn't even protect the home he wanted to protect after giving everything he had.
Immediately after that, it was the collapse of a qiē.
And what collapsed in this year is not only HA's indomitable record. For Lei Yi, what collapsed in front of his eyes was actually his long-standing belief.
And this football world is not what he thinks in his heart.
On the flight to Beijing, Lei Yi was surprisingly silent. He thought about a lot of things in his seat, even though it might be hard for him to figure them out. But now, he's tried to think.
After an eleven hours of air travel, Lei Yi arrived in Beijing and was soon picked up by the Chinese team staff who had come to the airport to pick him up at the national team's training base on the outskirts of the city. Since Lei Yi was on a flight that took off at 9:20 p.m. London time, it was already dark when he arrived at the training base.
And those familiar voices came from that dormitory building, which was the one who had arrived earlier, Lei Yi's national team teammates. But what made Lei Yi, who was dragging a small box up, pricked up his ears, but it was a voice that he hadn't heard here for a long time.
Hearing this voice, Lei Yi hurriedly picked up his suitcase and rushed upstairs at a speed of thirty meters! Then, when he actually saw the man, he almost let his box go down the stairs!
"Brother Shao, Brother Shaolin......"
That was before Wei Lin, the captain of Lei Yi's national team!
It turns out that Zhang Shaolin, who has recently developed in the direction of variety shows, was hired by the national team as the leader of the Chinese team! Specially run around the world with the team when there is a national team competition!
"How about it, Little Thunder Wing didn't expect it, right? You, Brother Shaolin, I'm back again! In order to celebrate the return of his brother, Yelti made a cake cut today! It's already in the kitchen now, are you happy! ”
After a strong hug with the "Little Thunder Wing" who had not been seen for a long time and was no longer what it used to be, Zhang Shaolin said this, and caused a burst of coaxing among the old teammates gathered here.
But just when everyone was not interested in this veteran captain who had retired for a while, he didn't leave any affection for him, "Go, go!" At that time, Lei Yi smiled and said to the former captain who had angrily asked him if he wanted to watch the A. movie together, and was punished by the previous leader of the team to report criticism and read the review book in front of the whole team: "Happy! ”
So everyone was in a hurry again. Immediately afterwards, Li Yunxiao asked: "Lei Yi children, this time we played a friendly match with Serbia, how many goals do you plan to score?" ”
It was clearly just an ordinary question and ridicule, but it was looked at by Xie Qianyi, Wu Jian and Zhang Shaolin, who were still giggling just now, and knew about Lei Yi's recent situation, with an expression of "believe it or not, Lao Tzu strangled you......
But Lei Yi didn't seem to care, lowered his head and smiled: "A few." ”
