Chapter 49

"It's incredible!" The commentator in the live broadcast room exclaimed, "This is also the first time I have seen such a scene with my own eyes in the years I have been doing live broadcasts - a team in a penalty shootout, it actually successfully qualified for the game with the goalkeeper's shot, and it was on such an important occasion as the European Cup." ”

'The reporters won't have bypassed Scolari after the game. The commentator's partner said with certainty that they had omitted even the effort of guessing.

Scolari was asked in an interview: "How did you decide who was going to take the final penalty? ”

Scolari coughed lightly: "Usually in training, Ricciardo showed his unique shooting ability. ”

"About Juan Díaz......"

'He's given me a lot of inspiration and possibilities, and he's still a player for Portugal.

"Today is the quarter-finals, why didn't he play? If he plays, it won't drag on to a penalty shootout, right? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Scolari knew what the other party wanted to do - but this kind of argument is okay to deceive the coach with a straight head, he?

Scolari laughed: "Dias was not well, I left him on the bench for a few days, even if he didn't play, he gave me a lot of valuable advice. ”

"Including the final penalty?" Scolari turned his head to ask Juan, and he was caught on camera.

"That's right." Scolari nodded, not feeling anything wrong with it.

At this moment, Juan was cleaning up on the sidelines, whether it was packing up or doing anything, he was doing his best to assist, but before he could clean up for two minutes, he was pulled out by his teammates.

"What are you doing here...... Juan looked helpless, so many people jumped around him, and he could only jump along, but soon he found that it was not only himself who suffered, but even the staff were pulled in by them to jump together, and finally balanced his mind a little, "It's not the finals, calm down." ”

"What's there to calm down!" The great man Ricardo laughed at him, "This is Lao Tzu's first shot!" I went in the first time! Hahaha! It's the first time Portugal have scored all six penalties! ”

Cristiano was also laughing, he was fourth in the shot, he didn't even dare to celebrate after sending the ball into the goal, he just ran to the side and stared at the situation on the field, and now he can finally open up and have fun.

However, as they finished their celebrations and prepared to head to the players' tunnel, Juan sensitively noticed that something was not quite right.

One by one, the players walked over, and although they were intercepted by reporters, they were very good at talking, and they were allowed to go after two sentences, and they looked at the field one by one - or rather, they looked at him like wolves with green eyes.

Juan subconsciously looked left and right, and found that Quaresma and Figo, the two heroes who scored the goal in this game, were also nearby, and the person who realized that he had not done anything in this game was rightly rushed to the player's tunnel, but was stopped.

It's okay, I'm going to be stopped when I pass through the players' tunnel anyway!

Besides, Figo and Quaresma are here, and the reporters will soon divert their attention!

However, just as Juan was about to say something to the reporters and leave, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed two people walking by, one named Quaresma and the other named Figo.

……？？？

Juan was stunned.

The reporters didn't even stop the two of them and let them pass?

So who are these journalists targeting?

Juan realized that his estimate might have been wrong, but it was still too late to correct it, and he nodded politely at the reporters, and turned to chase Figo and them, but soon a longing cry called him from behind.

"Juan!" "Juan, don't go-" "Dias is back-"

“…… What do you want to ask? Juan turned back helplessly, and the media seemed to have calculated his attitude of eating soft rather than hard, and every time he came to interview him, he had a very soft painting style, which didn't look like a sports reporter.

"We thought you weren't going to be interviewed." A female reporter said with a smile, with a coquettish tone in her tone, and Juan smiled back at her: "It's my honor to be summoned by Ms. Lady." "This time, the people who were dispatched on the field were all very good-looking beautiful female reporters, and when they shouted, there was a burst of warblers and swallows, otherwise the players in front of them would not have been pulled lightly one by one for an interview.

The group of female reporters let out a low cry and whispered to each other with some excitement, and Hu Ancheng was in a relatively dazed state.

…… He used to see Guti say this to women, why doesn't it seem to have the same effect?

However, this can be regarded as a diversion of attention, and soon the female reporters coughed lightly and shifted the topic to the right track: "Why didn't you play in this game, did Coach Scolari not let you play or did you refuse to play yourself?" ”

"Not really." Juan is indeed softer when facing women than against men, but this is also a sign that the players have, so everyone didn't pay much attention, "I negotiated with Coach Scolari, after all, I am also an assistant coach of the national team, and I am in his position. ”

"And what is your main task now?"

"Win glory for the country." Juan was categorical, then added, "We will do our best to fight for the European Championship." ”

"But you can't even play, how can you fight for the European Cup?" The direction in which female reporters ask questions is very different from that of male reporters, and the focus is also different, and many female reporters are not as professional as male reporters, and the questions they ask are also shallow, but if they are despised, the person who will be the one who will be in the trouble at that time.

Juan naturally knew what they meant, and replied very calmly: "It's okay if you don't play, I can collect information, it just so happens that the game is going on these days, and it is also necessary for me to watch more games and accumulate experience." ”

"And what are your plans for next?"

"If you plan to......" Juan tilted his head and thought for a moment, at this time he looked like a 21-year-old, but he was thinking about a crooked idea, "I'm going to watch a game." ”

"Greece vs. France?" Even the female reporters have a clear face, after all, France has Zidane, and if the next victory is right, Juan should pay attention to it.

"Yes." Juan nodded, he also wanted to study the situation in Greece again, after all, Portugal and Greece had played against each other, and he had also experienced Greece's defense and attack on the pitch, judging from Greece's appearance on the court, France was likely to capsize in the gutter.

He was right, and the next day he made a bet with Cassie that Cassie didn't think Greece could win, and Juan took the opportunity to blackmail dinner.

When the final whistle blew, Casillas looked devastated and said, "Isn't it? ”

Juan clapped his hands and wiped his mouth, and put away the snack bag: "I said, this game is to see how Greece suffocated Zidane to death." ”

"Let me tell you, the next person to be suffocated must be you." Cassie also knew that he would not be able to escape from inviting this man to dinner, so he could only sigh and curse in passing.

"No, it's not my turn yet." Juan replied in a good mood - could he be in a bad mood? This is a rare opportunity to kill Cassie! All of Castile knows how stingy Cassie is, and he's the first to make Cassie suffer!

"Let's hope so." Cassie waved his hand helplessly, should he be glad that at least there are no restaurants in Portugal that are too high-end and expensive? It's still within my own psychological tolerance.

The two young people really can't eat anything famous, and it's okay to be lively outside for a while, Juan looked at the time, and estimated that everyone was still training on the hotel's indoor court at this time, so he decided to take him to his hotel room to stay for a while.

"Anyway, is it really good that you don't train like this?" Cassie was also really worried, after all, it was the first time he had heard that players could still run around before the game, and it was natural for Juan to wave his hand: "I also went to train in the morning, and I didn't come to watch the game in the evening?" ”

Cassie felt speechless: "Then what did you specifically ask me to go to your room?" ”

"I've brought something with me, and you'll be pleasantly surprised." Juan swore that he had brought it for a long time, but he didn't have time to give it to Cassie!

The two young men are also not afraid of big things, Juan walked through the main entrance when he went out in the afternoon, and left under the pressure of the media, whether it was meeting with Cassie or the two of them going to buy snacks to take in and eat, a group of reporters followed, and it was not until they entered the stadium that they were able to get rid of the media cameras.

As a result, now, these two people are stunned in front of the big guys, and they return to the hotel in a grand manner! Juan is understandable, what the hell is Casillas?!

Finally, when they were about to enter, a local Portuguese reporter couldn't help but shout: "Juan, this is not in order!" ”

"Rules?" Juan was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow at him, "What's that?" ”

Everyone was stunned, the two people had already walked into the lobby of the hotel, no matter how they shouted, they didn't look back, and the reporters looked at each other.

- Indeed, Juan has already broken a lot if the rules are to be said, and playing as a retired player and acting head coach is a little more explosive in every way than taking friends back to the hotel during the national team games.

The media reporters also didn't know that Juan and Cassie were about to explode.

The two of them happily returned to the room, and when Juan opened the door, Cassie had already flashed in, and Juan lowered his head and closed the door while instructing him: "On the second floor of my box, as soon as you open it, you will see it!" ”

However, there was no movement behind him to turn over the box, and there was no echo from Cassie, Juan raised his eyebrows and looked up, Cassie stood at the entrance of the living room with his back stiff, not daring to go inside a single step, Juan took a deep breath and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

…… This faint sweetness in the air??!!

He stared at him, took three steps and two steps forward to see what was going on, then took a deep breath and blocked Cassie's eyes—the Spaniard's face was already flushed.

There were two beds in the room, Juan's bed had been in a state of being cold looking but comfortable to lie on, and now there was a beautiful woman in his bed.

In the Middle Ages, the person on the bed must have been a cold and glamorous prisoner of war, just lying on the bed and stretching his body, it seemed to carry an indescribable fatal temptation, the beauty was loosely draped in a red silk lace robe, the smooth lines of the calves poked out from under the robe, the toes were round and smooth, and it was even more beautiful under the bright red color.

Obviously, the beauty had already noticed them, she lazily stroked her long wave-like hair, and waved her hand at them: "What are you still standing for?" ”

Juan looked helpless.

"Sit up and get dressed, or we won't dare to go in...... Sister Eugenia. ”

He was brought up by Eugenia and could be said to have formed a resistance to her, Guti was immediately introduced as a confidant because the aura of the two people was too similar, and others such as Cassie were especially abnormal every time they saw Eugenia.

After all, he is a young man with strong blood.

"Well, you're getting to the age where it's time to find a girlfriend." The beauty sighed lightly, and then lazily stretched out her hands: "Help me up." ”

Juan blinked, looked at the people around him again, and smiled: "Igor, you go." ”

"Huh?" Cassie suddenly opened his mouth, while Juan looked calm: "I'll go get you something, what's wrong with you going to help my sister?" ”

"Oh......" Cassie's face turned red, and he walked all the way with his head down, and Juan didn't care how his evil sister wanted to tease Cassie's little beet, anyway, he gave him what he was going to give Cassie first.

However, when Juan turned his head, his little friend had already run to the bathroom like a gust of wind, and in the bedroom he could only hear his sister laughing like a silver bell—a sign that someone must have been unlucky.

Juan sighed and shook his head: "Why did you come all of a sudden?" Don't tell me in advance, I'll pick you up. ”

"Don't you still have to compete?" Eugenia had already sat up at this time, and her clothes were all tidied up, in fact, she was very low-key when she came over, but she wanted to make her brother lie on the bed with such fanfare, but who knew that when her brother came back, he still brought his easily shy little friend, which was a great entertainment for her.

"Where did you just come back?" Cassie had already come out of the toilet blushing, and Eugenia raised an eyebrow in amusement: "So fast?" ”

"......" Cassie's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything, he could only glance at Juan silently, and then sat at a distance from Eugenia, Juan glanced at him, he didn't see it, and wanted to bury his face in his chest.

Eugenia also knew that it was okay to flirt with the children appropriately, after all, they were really young men with strong blood, and if they were really in a hurry, she would be the one who would suffer, so she didn't continue to tease, but fiddled with her fingers and chuckled: "MetGala...... I guess you don't know. ”

Cassie looked dazed, he really didn't know anything about the fashion industry, especially the fashion industry of these women, it was literally on another planet.

Juan could imagine the expression on Cassie's face without even looking at it, and he was probably able to entertain his sister very well: "Charity dinner dance party at the Fashion Hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. ”

Of course, he also explained that the specific "Oscars of the fashion industry" and "celebrities in full costumes" are probably not within the scope of Cassie's understanding, according to his usual living habits, those people estimate that he rarely knows.

"I didn't expect that, Juan." Eugenia sighed and shook her head, "I just went out there and went around, and when I came back, I saw you wearing such an ugly jersey." ”

Yes?

Cassie was stunned, then realized that Eugenia was talking about the Portuguese jersey.

…… In fact, he thinks that Portugal's jersey is very good-looking, the color is very bright and spiritual, and it looks whiter and whiter when he wears it, and it looks even darker when he looks black......

"I'm going to design the Portugal jersey next year!" Eugenia announced, and Juan shook her hand to reassure: "Nike probably can't afford to hire a designer like you, and I won't be wearing a jersey next year." ”

"You're not wearing it? So what do you want to do? Eugenia was stunned, apparently busy in the United States, she had no idea that Europe had set off a storm for her dear brother.

"Be a coach." Juan paused, and suddenly thought of Laco's jersey.

Blue and white striped shirt.

…… Doesn't seem to be more in line with the taste of the famous Spanish female designer in front of you?

"Which team?" Eugenia doesn't know much about football, but she routinely watches when Real Madrid has a game, and she can still tell if she looks good or not, and at the moment, Real Madrid is the most in line with her taste.

- And the lack of football knowledge made her realize what a great thing it was to become the manager of a La Liga team at the age of 21.

She didn't know, Juan didn't mention it, and coughed lightly: "You should know...... Real A Coruña Club. ”

"That team, I remember, played well as well." Eugenia nodded, pausing for a moment. "But I remember their jerseys weren't very good-looking."

Really!

Juan comforted: "At least I shouldn't have much chance to get up." ”

The woman thought about it and nodded comfortably: "Yes." By the way, what are you going to give Igor baby, haven't you prepared for me? ”

The corner of Juan's eyes noticed that Igor silently shrank himself again, and shook his head helplessly: "Don't bully him...... I just brought him my jersey. ”

Cassie had complained to him many times before, saying that he couldn't get Juan's shirt when he was at the club and didn't get it when he was with the national team, so Juan managed to find his two jerseys and give them to him.

"Then forget it." Eugenia waved her hand not at all interested, "But I found that a large red color actually looks good on you, do you want to try it?" ”

Juan was stunned for a moment, smiled wryly and waved his hand: "Forget it, I can accept the jersey, and I ...... it for daily wear."

Indeed, a bright red dress is too dazzling no matter how you say it.

"That's right." Eugenia was very sorry, and then she turned her gaze to the side and tried to pretend that she didn't have zài, "What about little Igor, do you want to try it?" ”

Although Igor doesn't understand what fashion is, he also knows how spicy it is to be dressed in red - the home jersey of the Spanish national team is bright red, which is simply blinding him, and thanks to the fact that the goalkeeper's uniform is not red......

"No, no, no!" The Spanish teenager waved his hand again and again, he had an inexplicable fear of Eugenia since he was a child, especially now that Eugenia seemed to gradually start to shift his attention in his direction, he felt that this place could not stay for a moment!

The Spanish teenager immediately stood up: "I suddenly thought of finding Javier for something, I'll go first!" ”

Juan didn't even have time to stop him, watching him pick up two jerseys and grab the door, without the slightest intention of letting Juan send him off, and in normal times he would rather be with Juan Lai, and it doesn't matter how long he does anything, which is enough to see the depth of the shadow left by Eugenia in his heart.

"It's boring." Eugenia stretched, lay back on the bed again and half-squinted, Hu was silent for a while, raising her eyebrows and looking at the cat-like woman on the bed.

"Why, I suddenly feel that my sister and I are infinitely attractive?" Eugenia winked at him, causing him to laugh and shake his head.

"You must have come suddenly, something must have happened."

There is a saying that nothing is not in the Three Treasures Palace, which may be very similar to Eugenia, generally speaking, she is too busy with the things at hand, and she is not much interested in football, mainly to see the handsome guys and clothes, how could she suddenly run over and take a look at him in the process of the European Cup?

Especially when he is not playing and is relatively free, this kind of time is the best time to talk about something important.

The woman was silent for a while and got up, pulled up her clothes, sighed helplessly, and touched Juan's head: "If only you weren't so smart." ”

Juan just smiled and didn't say anything, after all, he was brought up by Eugenia anyway, and he couldn't hear the pride contained in this sentence.

Eugenia's maternal brilliance radiated for a while, and soon she became stern: "I did come here for something, and it's about the family." ”

"Inheritance of immovable property." Juan answered softly.

Since the unexpected death of her parents, Juan has inherited a large inheritance, which naturally includes her mother's fiefdom and noble titles.

"There has been a lot of quarrel in the family for a long time, and I often hear from the family when I am away all year round." Eugenia had a headache, and even if she avoided it, it would always reach her ears, which was also inevitable.

"Portuguese nationals, however, enjoy Spanish titles and fiefdoms, and they naturally have something to say." Juan bowed, they haven't made a fuss for so many years, and it is estimated that it is also because his aunt and sister have suppressed it, and their grandmother has also maintained a blind attitude towards this matter, but now, the grandmother has been hit too hard by the death of her second husband, and has been sick in bed for more than two years, and the people below have begun to fluctuate.

- How much wealth the Albert family has is unknown, but at least the most valuable treasures can be obtained.

"They want to forcibly confiscate real estate from you." When Eugenia said this, the cold light in his eyes was almost about to choose someone, obviously when the family is big, people's hearts will also be blinded by money, and those elders are ready to start pressuring Juan one by one to hand over his assets, as can be seen from the cold reception he received when he was at Real Madrid.

This matter will not go to the international court, for a family like theirs, face is simply more important than life, and with the grandmother still there, it is impossible for them to set off a big storm, but this will inevitably cause a toss.

Juan was silent for a while: "Auntie must already have an idea?" ”

"yes, that's why I'm here." Eugenia smiled, but with a hint of reluctance. Mother said...... She will buy all the real estate of the Albert family from you, and if the valuation is successful, she will pay the full amount at a later date. ”

-- A terrible, wealthy family.

"Yes." Juan nodded, "Let's find someone to appraise it, and then I'll find a time to handle the transfer succession." ”

"......" Eugenia was taken aback by him, and immediately straightened up: "You think about it carefully, it was all left to you by your mother, and now if you change your nationality and name, it's still too late." ”

"Change your nationality and name?" Juan smiled, "Although I haven't played in the past few days, I have already answered this question in 00, haven't I?" ”

In '00, when Juan was eighteen years old, he played for the first time in the senior category of the national first team, and it was in that year.

He answered directly with his own choice.

"Juan Díaz has dual Spanish and Portuguese citizenship, and has his own freedom and room for development, while Juan Albert ......" Juan shook his head, "I will be scolded by the whole country of Portugal." ”

What it's like to be scolded by his home country, Juan doesn't want to know at all, he just wants to continue to be his little coach now, and he is already happy to play games.

"I was still thinking about why the family suddenly had such a big move against you." Eugenia sighed, "They drove you out of Spain, and they never expected you to come back. ”

"I'm just going out for a walk." Juan whispered, "I'll definitely go back to Spain." ”

"By the way, what about your agent, why does it seem to have disappeared in Europe?" Eugenia suddenly thought of something and raised her eyebrows, "It can't be that it has already been done, right?" ”

"No, he's gone to South America." Juan replied softly, "Don't worry, he doesn't know anything, and he'll be fine." ”

He didn't want to meddle in the affairs of these great nobles at all, but once he thought about what his mother had left him, he had to think about it carefully.

"Alas...... I don't know if it's good or bad for your mother to leave this to you. Eugenia stretched and got up, as the most rebellious grandchild of the Albert family, and the most appetizing grandchild of their grandmother, she had always been in a very delicate position in the family, but she still had the right to say a few words, "I will go back and tell my mother your answer, you are steady." ”

"You're going to have to hold on." Juan sighed, "I'm thirty-five years old, and I still play this kind of temptation, and the little boy Igor can't stand it, forget it, and you're not afraid of my roommate coming back." ”

Juan's roommate was a physical trainer, probably fifty or sixty years old like Juan's aunt, and Eugenia smiled at him, like a rose blooming for a moment: "You try to mention my age again?" ”

Eugenia was frightened when she came, and even more fanfare when she left, the woman with a coat and sunglasses left directly from the main entrance of the hotel with great fanfare, Juan gave her a car, and very gentlemanly reached out to help her block her head so as not to hit it, for which many reporters were about to bite their silver teeth.

"Who's that guy?!" "Juan's private meeting ** girlfriend?!" "It's terrible, he doesn't have a girlfriend yet?!" "It's all a lie! No wonder Juan's flirting skills are so high!! ”

Juan was also very helpless when he heard the ghosts of the reporters crying wolf, but he didn't plan to explain, but looked at the time in his hand and turned around and went back to the hotel, leaving a group of resentful people looking at his back.

The next morning during training, Juan was watched by a group of strange eyes, and when he saw Eugenia leave, he happened to meet his teammates coming back, but these two people did not shy away at all, they still held hands affectionately, and even secretly whispered something about their sideburns, the woman couldn't see her face clearly with sunglasses, but how wrong the intimate gesture was.

What's even more wrong is that Juan didn't push her away, but indulged the woman to lean on his arm, and when the woman wanted to speak, he would tilt her head and automatically send her ears over, without the slightest impatience.

…… What the hell, Juan's girlfriend?!!

The next morning, they witnessed the news in the newspaper, originally they thought they would see Juan's clarification in the newspaper, but Juan didn't say a word, and directly acquiesced?!

In the face of the strange eyes of his teammates, Juan was not afraid and continued to train, but there were more and more reporters outside, and when he went to train in the afternoon, Scolari finally couldn't help but say a word.

"Juan...... Although you don't play, you should also pay attention to the public impact, it is okay to bring your friends to sit, but it is a bit too much to bring your girlfriend into the hotel. ”

Is it okay to bring a friend in and sit down?! Coach areyousure?

However, before everyone could start their own complaints, they heard Juan calmly reply: "That's my sister." ”

"......," Scolari opened his mouth, speechless, "Even if it's a sister, it's a bad behavior to bring a woman in." ”

"There won't be a next time." Juan replied very well, not explaining that he had actually only brought his friends, and that Eugenia was the real situation at the airborne scene.

Scolari nodded in satisfaction: "Do you want to play tomorrow?" ”

For France to be killed by Greece, Rao is Scolari is also related, he thinks left and right, maybe the next game will have to take Juan - especially the next game against the Tulip Army, the Netherlands is also very strong in attack and defense.

"I'm at your command." Juan smiled and didn't say much, although there was no player who didn't want to play, but he also had to think about Scolari's difficulties.

When training began in the afternoon, everyone noticed Cristiano's sullenness, Figo and Scolari both pulled him to talk for a while, but it was useless, the two looked at each other, and directly beckoned Juan over.

"What's wrong?" Juan looked at the two bigwigs, and then at the Portuguese youngster with his head down, his eyes became stern, "What mistake did Cristiano make again?" ”

"It's not." Scolari patted the Portuguese youngster on the head, "He didn't have much energy this afternoon, you can comfort him." ”

Juan was confused, but seeing that his little teammate seemed to be really decadent, he didn't shirk it, and directly fished it over: "What's wrong?" ”

Cristiano opened his mouth, turned his head and didn't speak, Juan was stunned, this is the first time that a little teammate has made a face at him, right? "If you have anything, just say it, and I'll solve it for you."

"You can't solve it!" Cristiano muttered, then glared at Juan, who could clearly see that his eyes were red. "You never wanted to be with me anyway......"

“？” Juan was baffled by what he said, and just as he was about to ask carefully, the young general had already thrown him off and ran away, and Juan, who was put on a face by the young general for the first time, was a little confused - he found that he had been in a daze for a while, and he didn't know why: "What's the situation?" ”

Quaresma didn't know how long he had been paying attention to the situation here, and seeing Juan's blank face, he couldn't bear to step forward and help him answer his doubts.

"I told Cristiano and said I'd go to Laco next season......"

Oh.

Juan finally figured it out, it turned out that the child was awkward: "So that's the case, I'll go find him." ”

Juan found Cristiano in the locker room, and the youngster wanted to stuff himself into the cabinet and cry slowly, but in the end he chose to sit on the bench and cover his face with his jersey and say nothing.

Juan sighed and stepped forward to pat him on the head.

One or two, why do they all want to suffer with him?

Obviously, what you have now is what many people crave, and wasting and giving up is really not a good thing.

"Cristiano, do you remember what I said to you before?" Juan said softly, "I hope you can win the Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or in the Premier League, and achieve unprecedented achievements in the Premier League." The Lord can teach you a lot more than I can teach you, so I want you to get better no matter what. ”

"But you also brought Ricardo." Cristiano's voice was muffled, and Juan was helpless.

"Ricciardo doesn't have a choice, and you're different. You also know Ricardo's plight at Barcelona, don't you? ”
