51. Tulips out

Chapter 51

Juan's goal was also extremely unreasonable, not to mention that someone intercepted him along the way, and even his own family didn't have time to help him, and the whole court watched him and Vanney chase me through the half, and then it was a long-range shot, and even the reaction time was not left for others, and the dust settled as soon as qiē was settled.

The dark-blond-haired man turned to look at Fanny very indifferently: "You did it on purpose." ”

The Dutchman didn't refute either, he wasn't even frustrated after being scored, he and Van der Sar were used to such scenes, so the expressions of the two were still very calm, and when Juan asked this, he even had the energy to smile back at Juan: "Yes." ”

Of course, he did it on purpose, he just refused to give up all the way to mark people, chase and intercept people, he just wanted to force Juan to make a choice between passing and suppressing him.

'You used to say you were nervous when you were at Manchester United, but we know if you're nervous or not. Ruud van Nistelrooy was careful to cover his lips when he said this to avoid being caught on camera, and it turned out that he was right, because Juan didn't celebrate when he scored, but instead spoke to his old team-mates here, and the cameras were already focused on them.

Seeing that Juan remained silent and didn't mean to speak at all, Fanny rarely spoke more: "I don't mean to accuse you, and even thank you, because you and I have become stronger." ”

Juan sighed secretly, raised his hand and covered his mouth: "It's none of my business." ”

The Dutchman shook his head: "You're still so rebellious. ”

Known for his awe-inspiring temperament, his keen nose in front of goal, and his dominance in the box is unmatched.

- But he could smell something similar to his own, just as an animal distinguishes its own kind.

Juan hid his own qiē under the thousands of ravines in the ice and snow fiefdom, and the whole person was like a silent mortal enemy with the north wind howling, only occasionally a flash of vitality flashed, and the rest of the time it was almost like a no-man's land, he had his own city and thoughts in his heart, but it was rarely revealed.

But perhaps because of his youth, Vanney finally found the lone wolf in his white snow.

Cruel, resilient, and ruthless in not admitting defeat, perhaps because of the same kind of relationship, Fanny has been able to successfully trigger his emotions before others even know it.

Juan did not deny what Vanney said about his rebelliousness, but replied with a smiling expression: "You are too curious. ”

There will naturally be wolves in the ice field, but everyone knows that even if they encounter occasionally, they should learn to avoid them, but they are not as curious as Fanny to rush up.

"I've paid for my curiosity." Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't know if Juan had heard this, because by this time his teammates had already gathered around him and enthusiastically hugged him to the side to celebrate, and the Dutchman looked up at the scoreboard, and finally held the lead for a while and was leveled, and then with Juan present, it was a little difficult to get back ahead.

At halftime, Juan wiped his sweat and was quickly watched, and in the face of everyone's curious eyes, Juan calmly took a sip of water: "He just talked to me about the past and life." ”

…… Who's going to talk about this on the pitch! Are you kidding us?!

Similar expressions were written on everyone's faces, and Juan ignored them, instead taking off his headband and pulling his hair together, sighing.

"Juan, isn't your hair a little too long?" Cristiano looked at Rui Costa, then at Juan's hair, and couldn't help but ask, Juan was stunned and touched the hair on the back of his head.

It's a bit long, it's almost shoulder-to-shoulder, but it's also a habit left over when I was in Spain, and many people like to have long hair and be very handsome and chic when they play football.

-- In other words, coquettish.

Especially when young people like Juan, Guti or Torres who are relatively good-looking, have lighter hair and have a more agile style of play run around, it is like running an elf on the green field.

Juan's hair is very good, he deliberately cut his hair short when he first arrived at Manchester United, but since he left Spain, he doesn't believe in the craftsmanship of outsiders, and it is indeed a bit long now.

"It's a bit long." Juan twisted his hair and nodded, then subconsciously glanced at the entire locker room, and was pleased to find that although his hair was the longest, after all, a large number of people still had long hair!

He's not worried at all! Well!

So subconsciously facing the hairspray of the little teammate, the head is a brain melon, it must not be intentional by him!

When Cristiano covered his forehead and wanted to cry without tears, Juan patted him on the shoulder: "By the way, Cristiano, I have set you a goal for next season." ”

"What?" The Portuguese teenager looked up with teary eyes, and saw the evil corners of Juan's mouth.

"Kill Fanny."

“?”

"Grab his main position."

“??”

"It's better to get him out of Manchester United."

“…… Juan, what are you going to do here? The old captain, who listened to it on the side, finally couldn't help but speak, how did he feel that something was going to happen if he continued to talk?

Juan replied calmly: "I want to drive him to La Liga." ”

"With me?" Cristiano looked incredulous, now Ruud van Nistelrooy is still the absolute main force of the Red Devils, he will play if he is not injured, the dominance of the king of the small penalty area in the penalty area should not be underestimated, and although Cristiano is slowly changing to the position of winger, but for now, he is still a midfielder, no matter what, he is not compatible with Ruud van Nistelrooy!

"It's up to you." Juan nodded affirmatively, "I hope you can kick him out with your own strength, he left Manchester United, the best in the Premier League, there is no player he can see in the whole Premier League, Real Madrid will definitely be interested in Manchester United's leading star, anyway, it is not the first time, they will definitely invite the Dutchman to join, and Vanney will definitely not refuse." ”

"This, this ......" Cristiano touched his head and asked a little tactfully, "Will a season be too rushed?" ”

Rui Costa, who was drinking water, choked at once, patting himself and coughing heartbreakingly, but at this time even his own attention was not on himself, but he tried his best to stare at Juan and Cristiano, two crazy people.

Juan doesn't seem to think that Cristiano, a newcomer who has only been at Manchester United for a season, will not be able to shake the foundation of an old man like Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Cristiano doesn't seem to feel that he can't do it at all, but is just euphemistically asking if the time will be a little too rushed?

These two people are also too confident!

Juan shook his head lightly: "Don't worry, get out next season, and then he can play in La Liga next season, I can't wait." ”

"What do you have to ask him to do in La Liga?" The more Figo listened, the more dangerous he felt, he was also the main player of Real Madrid now, and he didn't want to be a difficult club teammate to get along with by his national team teammates! The Dutch, in particular, are still notoriously unruly, and now their dressing room is messy enough, but they can't have another one......

Juan showed an innocent smile: "I think he seems to be a little bored in the Premier League, La Liga has more fun, I guess he will like it more." ”

Having a lot of fun in La Liga? La Liga is a mess!

Figo complained in his heart, and especially problematic is that Juan is going to start coaching Laco next season, and who knows what big waves he can turn over?

"This vindictive spirit is strong enough......" Rui finally relented, wiped his mouth and muttered in a low voice, it is indeed strong enough, after all, he has never heard of the situation that he deliberately pit him to another club in order to have some fun.

When Scolari came in from the outside, he was faced with a Portugal team with a somewhat strange atmosphere, and Scolari was stunned, thinking that the first-half draw reminded them of the last game against England.

"It's okay everyone, keep it up, we're going to win the game anyway, just like we did against England!" Scolari puffed up, and then subconsciously looked at the great man Ricardo, and it has to be said that the highlights of the Portuguese team in this European Championship may be the most of all teams.

Manchester United rookie Cristiano, the outstanding mid-line defender Marceno, the captain of the Devil's wing, Figo, and the almost heroic Ricciardo who blocked the danger with his body...... There is also Juan Díaz, who has multiple identities and is on the cusp.

The Brazilian coach subconsciously glanced in Juan's direction and sighed rather complicatedly.

He is really in a dilemma now, and I don't know what Juan and his agent think, and now the news that he may become Laco's coach next season has left the entire Portuguese national team dressing room in a dilemma, and the coaching staff does not know what attitude to use to face him.

Originally, if it was just an ordinary player, he would have been banned from playing, but Juan's situation that he could influence the situation on the field made it even worse.

What coach wouldn't want to have a sparkling trophy in their hands? Especially in the European Cup, who would have more titles in their hands?

Of course, Yiqiē thought was hidden in the bottom of his heart, and he continued: "About the second half, I will say a few words......

After determining what to do in the second half, Scolari went out first, leaving Figo's captain time, but Portugal's devil wings did not speak, which made the young people who were usually used to the captain's encouragement at this time stunned, and when they looked over, they found that Figo was tying his shoes.

After tying his shoelaces, Figo stomped his feet and naturally got up and turned back: "Let's go." ”

“??” The Portuguese players looked at each other and said, "What about the talk, captain?" ”

"What is there to talk about?" Portugal No. 7 waved his hand, arrogant, "If you go out, you will fuck him!" ”

"Oh!!"

Juan also raised his hand vigorously in support, which made Cristiano, who was on the side, tremble several times and looked at him in horror.

This is the first time Juan has reacted almost enthusiastically!

Juan didn't feel anything wrong at all, but tied the headband to his head again, then got up and patted the head of his little teammate next to him: "Let's go!" ”

At the start of the second half, the Netherlands were locked in a tough battle.

The Tulips are the best at switching offense and defense. Their captain is the core, and the king of the small penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy, is the perpetual motion machine of the whole team, and it can be said that it is their cooperation that makes this Tulip Army more gorgeous and aggressive.

But now, they are almost oppressed by the Portuguese offensive and can only defend passively, unable to raise their heads at all.

Deco and Rui Costa connected the entire central midfield of Portugal, almost as if they were dying, they got the ball and began to organise attacks, not worrying about the situation behind them at all, although this style of play is very expensive and easy to steal the football, but the Netherlands still collapsed step by step.

It can't be helped, even if they grab the ball, there are people in Portugal's backfield who will come back.

In the second half, Juan has already played with interceptions and tackles, no matter where the opponent comes from, the defense can block the ball in his direction for the first time, and once Juan breaks the ball, he can send the ball back to his front court with a long pass.

This style of play also relies on the steady process of defense, if it is not stable, it is very likely that the whole game will not be so calm, and the attack advantage is strong, but the whole game needs a quick-acting heart-saving pill, otherwise it is possible to have a myocardial infarction at any time because of too much excitement to watch the game......

It's the first time in so many years that the Netherlands have been pressed like this, and if it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, even Ruud van Nistelrooy, who couldn't defend at all, would defend him.

- However, Ruud van Nistelrooy is really not able to defend at all.

He is more suitable to stay in the front of the Netherlands, that is, in front of the goal, waiting for the opportunity to come and strike a lethal blow, and he is definitely not suitable for doing things such as long-distance running and pressing pressing.

Hearing him say this when he was defending him, Vanney was subconsciously stunned and then laughed: "Are you still thinking about that goal in the first half?" ”

"Of course." Juan looked calm, "After all, this is the first time I've seen you run so unconventionally, and your body can support it?" ”

Seeing that Juan still had a chance to hack him, Vanney waved his hand to indicate that he would not care about these details: "I can force you to run wildly for the entire half, no matter how you look at it, I earned it." ”

"Really?" Juan's eyes flashed, and he said no more.

Fanny didn't know that Juan really cared about himself, and he was still looking at the chaos in front of his house with some sighs. As the king of the small penalty area, he naturally knows how precarious his goal is now......

I also have some sympathy for Van der Sar, who was beaten like this around the goal.

However, soon, Dutch captain Cook intercepted the ball, and their captain had a very solid play as a defender, especially in tackles, although he had no skills and his style of play was not elegant at all, but at least in terms of actual combat, it was still very practical, such as now, after the football was broken, the Tulip Army finally had time to set up an offensive immediately.

Vanney's eyes lit up and he was about to run in the other direction, only to be stopped.

The darkly blonde man smiled at him, very calmly.

"You've been guarding against me for so long, are you tired? Let's switch, I'll defend you. ”

Vanney is stunned and wants to cry without tears, and his defense is not on the same level as Juan's defense?! "No, no, we're still working on our own......"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Ruud van Nistelrooy nodded earnestly and ran away immediately, and sure enough, Cook began to look for the ball as it was carefully carried to the edge of the box, and when he saw him, their captain's eyes lit up and he cleared the ball.

Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't look down when he received the ball, he was afraid that he would miss the small problems around him, so he almost immediately noticed that the smile on the captain's face turned into a look of surprise.

"Run!! Fanny!! Run!! He heard his captain start growling, and although it was a common thing for captains to growl, it was the first time he had heard their captain be so agitated and so anxious.

What happened?

He had raised his foot to prepare to put the ball down, but the surrounding qiē seemed to be suspended, including himself.

The sound of qiē on the pitch was far away, and there was even some silence, and he heard his own breathing, and the sound of his heart thumping.

He clearly felt the breath of a person, as if it suddenly appeared on his side, the red ghost floated in, and the dark gold slightly long hair even accidentally fell into his flat palm, but it had already floated away before he could hold it.

Soon, that wonderful feeling faded like a tide, and the sound of the entire stadium suddenly returned to his ears, accompanied by the exclamation of the audience, and the screams of the on-site commentators were simply a bit earth-shattering.

"Juan Díaz!"

Juan once again took control of the ball at his feet, but this time he didn't try to run long distances with the ball, but instead split the ball in two steps, which is actually the most work he has done for the national team so far.

He hopes that when he is still in the national team, he can provide his own hand for the team, whether it is in the team's training or the players to assist each other, if the situation on the scene allows, try to be his teammates to complete the attack, defense and shooting, he just needs to do a good job of stabilizing and training the defense for everyone.

That's what he wants to do the most at the moment!

The game ended 2-1, Juan stayed in the back to support the ball in the second half and did not participate in the attack, but even so, he still laid the most solid foundation for the victory of the whole team!

At the same time, it has to be mentioned that if he hadn't been behind all the time, Portugal might have gone to the point of no return by now - Orz, who was killed by his own midfield

Andrade, Marcello and Carvalho, they can be regarded as conscientious, it can be said that they are trying their best to stop the Dutch attack, but even with Juan's blessing, they can't stand the other side often a large number of people rushing together, the front court has no interception ability at all, the midfielders Rui and Deco are old men who are not willing to move, Cristiano and Figo on both sides are rookies at all, and Quaresma and Portillo ......

Come on, if their captain and junior teammates are defensive rookies, these two are defensive idiots.

Thanks to the fact that their captain finally scored a goal in the second half, otherwise there would have been extra time and a possible desperate penalty shoot-out, and no one wanted to do it again.

After the game, Juan did not choose to follow Scolari to the post-match press conference, he was pulled by Figo, and their captain looked at the look of confusion, looking at something important to say.

But Juan was dragged aside by him, and he waited for a long time before his captain could say anything, and he felt a little depressed: "Captain, what do you want to say?" ”

"I just want to say...... Alas, did you see Robben? ”

"Robben?" Juan was stunned again, "Who?" ”

"Nineteen in Holland, that bald head." Although it was a little difficult to speak, Figo still spoke, "He is now the leading scorer in the Eredivisie PSV Eindhoven, and he is very good in terms of numbers and data......"

Juan blinked, he had an impression when he talked about his bald head, although he didn't remember other people's names very well, but the characteristics were still very clear to him, especially when Robben and he were in the opposite position several times: "And then? ”

"And then you Lako aren't short of people, aren't they?" Figo gritted his teeth, "I think he's pretty good, do you want to try it?" ”

"......" Juan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was his captain who was recommending talents to him to help him.

"Luis, I appreciate your help." He pondered what tone he needed to say so that his captain wouldn't feel hurt, "But...... If a player is much older than me, especially if you're the same age, it's going to be hard for me to discipline ......."

Figo was dumbfounded, only to hear Juan continue: "There are Belleron, Andrade and Capdevilla in the team now, but the one you recommended to me looks a little bigger than them, and his skills are quite good, what if I can't hold it down?" ”

"Juan, Juan, wait a minute." The Portuguese captain finally found his voice, "Did you misunderstand something?" ”

“?” Juan winked at him.

Robben ...... I'm only 20 years old this year. Figo paused, "Two years younger than you." ”

Juan was really stunned at this time, he opened his mouth, pointed at himself with a strange face, and then pointed in the direction of the Dutch locker room: "You mean...... He was born in '84? ”

"Even though Portugal haven't touched the Netherlands for a long time, it's bad behavior for you to not pay attention to the opposing team so much." Fei Ge sternly admonished him, if it weren't for the fact that it was too hard to endure the smile on his face, he still had the appearance of a majestic elder. "Robben is his first time participating in the Intercontinental Cup, and it is also the first time he has appeared in the national team, so he is two years later than you, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm judging people by their appearance." Juan simply admitted his mistake.

He really didn't expect it, who knew that the man began to be bald when he was twenty years old, and he was even more bald than Zidane, coupled with his own face full of vicissitudes, 84 years looks similar to 74 years!

“…… It's okay, the problem isn't with you. Figo paused, and was a little helpless, not to mention Juan, he was also stunned when he saw it for the first time, still thinking that there were old faces he didn't know on the Dutch side, if it weren't for the Dutch captain Cook noticing his micro-expression and specially explaining a word to him, he would be kept in the dark now.

The two of them were speechless for each other, and then changed the topic very tacitly: "His ability is indeed very strong, he is fast on the wing, and he is also very fast when he cuts inside. ”

"I found out that he is indeed a good wide player, but I don't think he himself will be willing to come to Laco." Juan sighed, not to mention whether Laco has the financial resources to bring the top scorer of the Eredivisie to his team in his current empty shell state, just saying that Juan, the head coach, is actually enough to make many people doubtful.

- A manager under the age of 22?

It's crazy, Juan thinks he wouldn't have chosen to join if he didn't know who he is, and Quaresma and Portillo believe in him enough.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Figo encouraged him, and Juan thought about it: "Then I'll call Jorge later." ”

After a hurried shower in the locker room, Juan got dressed and found his phone and stood outside to call his agent, who did not sleep and shouted at him excitedly as soon as he received the call: "Juan, well done!" ”

Juan smiled: "Watching the game?" ”

"Yes, your watch xiàn is awesome! And that Dutch Robben, you know? At the beginning, I thought that the Netherlands had fished out a veteran from somewhere, but I didn't expect that I checked the information, and he was actually younger than you......" Thinking of this, Jorge Mendes was also speechless, originally Juan had a face that was not very old, plus the Dutch were young and old, and the two people who were obviously only one year apart stood together, and there was a feeling that the next generation was not a generation......

Juan coughed lightly, "I'm interested in him." ”

"Ha, that's a coincidence." Jorge laughed, "Jose just called me and said he was interested in Robben. ”

Hearing Jorge say this, Juan froze for a moment, the light in his eyes flashed, and his voice was still normal, but with some soft breath: "Which Jose?" ”

"Which else?" Jorge smiled, "He's going to coach Chelsea next season, and he was worried about the striker list, but now he doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Juan naturally understood what Jorge meant.

Jose Mourinho is already a Champions League-winning coach, and his high-profile arrival at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge is a real thing, and although he is young, he is still a generation older than the players compared to the age of other coaches.

In any way, Juan, a rookie coach who is still young without the blessing of the trophy, cannot be compared with others.

"I see." Juan sighed lightly, "How's the situation on your side?" ”

"Silva has agreed, and he has to sign it, because if he doesn't choose our La Liga, he may have to be loaned to Russia next season, so it's a place of ice and snow, you know...... I'm going to dig him into my own! So is Navas! Jorge immediately began to divert Juan's attention, in fact, he was also very helpless, but this is also something that cannot be helped, "but Luis may have to think again, Benfica seems to be very interesting to him......"

"Then take the money and smash it." Juan pressed his bulging head and said in a sullen voice.

"Take the money and smash it?" Jorge was stunned for a moment, thinking that this little ancestor was in a bad mood and began to talk nonsense, "Juan, Laco doesn't have the money to smash it for you, Silva and Navas have already spent us 300,000 euros, this is still a little-known little guy who may retire......"

"I'll inject money in two days, you can just take Laco's money and smash it." Juan replied with a sigh, still telling Jorge what he thought. ”

"Injection, where did you get the money?" Jorge was stunned, "Even if you sell all the stocks in your hands, it's only tens of millions, although Laco is empty, how can you say that it is also a small La Liga giant, and you can't even get 5% of the shares for this money, right?" ”

"I sold my family's real estate."

"Besides, even if you can make money, but stocks or something...... What did you say?!! The screams of the Portuguese agent on the phone nearly pierced Juan's ear drums, and he rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Don't be so surprised...... I sold it to Aunt Eugenia and she will keep it for me. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be sold to people within the family, you scared me to death." Jorge breathed a sigh of relief that if Juan dared to sell any of those real estate items to anyone who was not part of the Albert family, he could be guilty of smuggling national antiquities.

He is not from the Albert family, and no one will save him if he goes down this time, so Juan's life is almost over.

"I'm not stupid." Juan smiled, "My aunt and I also take what we need, I need funds at the moment, and she needs the family business, it's appropriate, isn't it?" ”

"Okay, okay, you said that, it must have been ready for sale for a long time." Jorge spread his hands a little helplessly, "You deliberately told me about this, just so that I don't have to be afraid to spend money with peace of mind?" ”

"That's right." Juan smiled, "It's all my hard work, you can use it." ”

"Got it." Jorge was obviously still shocked that he had actually sold his family's real estate, but out of work ethic, he still asked more, "How much will you invest?" ”

"Between 200 million and 250 million." Juan understated.

"You, say, what, what?!!"

The man on the phone screamed like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, but Juan had no time to pay attention to him at this time, and he couldn't stop listening to the man on the phone going crazy, he took a deep breath and hung up the phone, and then bowed to the person on the other end of the hallway, with standard and elegant movements.

"Long time no see, Ms. Albert."

At the end of the corridor stood a group of people, the woman at the front was gracefully wrapped in a black suit skirt, and the veil covered her face and her face could not be seen, Juan knew who it was.

His titular guardian, his adoptive mother, Eugenia Albert.

Only now, behind her, stood a group of property notarizers, who had to behave politely in public in order to take care of the dignity of the nobles.

…… However, his aunt didn't seem to think so.

"Juan! My baby, you have suffered-" Juan was a little helpless when he was held in the arms of the woman who flew up, this mother and daughter loved to hug him, and he was very used to it as if he were a doll since he was a child, so he quickly held the person in his arms so that she did not slide down: "Auntie, I didn't suffer much......"

"How can you not suffer! England is gloomy every day, not even a single sun! As she said this, she turned her head to look behind her, and Juan could even hear a hint of sternness in her tone: "Aunt is here, no one can bully you in the future!" ”

Juan's eyes flashed, he naturally knew who his aunt was saying these words to, so he nodded very obediently: "Okay." ”

"Let's go, let's do the property notarization." She took Juan's arm affectionately and walked to the box, Juan was stunned again: "When did you come?" ”

He also deliberately booked a box, no matter how he looked like he had just arrived, he thought they had just arrived at the end of the game.

"It's been here from the beginning! We Juan is the most handsome player and it's so good-looking. When he said this, his aunt radiated the radiance of maternal love, and Juan opened his mouth helplessly, but in the end he did not say anything.

…… In fact, he really wanted to know why the mother and daughter were raising them as if they were sons......

The notarization of property was done very smoothly, and when someone wanted to lower the price, his aunt shook the red wine glass in her hand, and her voice was flat but exuded a cold atmosphere.

"The real estate of the Albert family is worth as much as it should be, and whoever dares to belittle even a cent is an insult to the entire history of the Albert family."

Now everyone is honest, they don't dare to do any small moves, at this moment she has lifted her short veil, Juan glanced at it and sighed.

If you don't know the mother and daughter, who looks at them as a pair of sisters.

Although he only had a brief glimpse, he was still noticed by his aunt, who looked at it and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Baby, I heard that you are going to coach Laco?" ”

Juan nodded, "Yes." ”

"That's right." Eugenia pondered for a moment and smiled, "That's right, that piece is your own fiefdom, you don't need me to cover you." ”

Oh......

Juan could clearly see jealousy and helplessness in the eyes of some of the staff who were not very determined.

O nobleman's privilege!

In the early days, most of the nobles lived in their own rural territories, and after the expansion of public power, political and economic power was concentrated in the capital and cities, coupled with the king's deliberate construction of the court, the nobles began to transfer to the court and the city.

In places where the crown is strong, the dukes and nobles moved from their domains to the court, England, France, Spain and Portugal, so although Eugenia's family has always lived in Madrid and Seville, they still have their own fiefdom, just like the fief of Prince Charles of England is Wales, and the local taxes belong to him.

Juan was also a little helpless: "It's good if you're happy......"
