Louis Figo is now thinking heavily about life.

For example, when did he offend a media reporter to ask him such a question?

"Pushing and shoving is a common occurrence during the game, but Juan told me that the Greek player was just hoping to call the team doctor for Qinghuan, but he didn't understand because he was going to learn German again."

Many people at the scene let out a burst of exclamation: it seems that Juan is really obsessed with the job of translator......

'As for scoring, I'll leave it to coach Scolari to judge, he's the one who is the most qualified to score. Figo kicked the ball out and Scolari leaned forward: "If the perfect score is 10, I will give the whole team a nine, and deduct one point because we are not without mistakes, but we have been tenacious for a while." ”

"As for the last question......" The Portuguese captain paused, and couldn't help but want to cover his face.

"Robert is a team-mate at my club and we're good friends...... "The short Brazilian has a terrible chatter physique, and Figo didn't sleep in a room with him when the team was traveling, but the consequences were tragic.

Until he went to bed, his head resounded with the thoughts of the Brazilian defender, even in his sleep, and he only felt like his head was about to explode - and it was something that could not be stopped, it had been tried before, but it didn't work.

"Juan is a teammate of my national team, and he has brought us countless surprises since he joined the national team...... "To say that it is a surprise is actually a lift, and it may be more appropriate to be frightened.

Unlike the Brazilian defenders, he is used to being silent, and he is fine when he speaks normally, but sometimes he will not speak for a long time, and the room will always maintain a kind of silence like low pressure, even if Figo is not usually a person who talks much, he can't stand this kind of quiet!

What is especially uncomfortable is that the person who remains silent has a strong sense of existence, and he can't ignore it even if he wants to.

…… The media is also vicious, and it immediately picked on his pain points.

Seeing that Figo praised his two teammates in a rare way, the media reporters at the scene were all clear: "Okay, we know that your two teammates are very good, so if you have to choose someone to sleep with, who will you sleep with?" ”

"It has to be these two?"

"It has to be these two people."

Figo: I choose death: D

Juan was the first to take a shower among everyone, and his national team teammates were still chasing and playing in it without the same situation as Manchester United, and when he sat down and began to get dressed, a man appeared at the door of the locker room with a staggering demeanor and movements that were no different from the zombie protagonist of the zombie movie, Juan was startled and looked at it.

“…… Captain, what are you doing? ”

The 32-year-old captain of Portugal leaned on the edge of the door, with four words written on his face, and his first reaction when he saw Juan: "Juan, I ask you a few things." ”

"Please."

"If Roy Keane and Nuno Maniche had to sleep with one, who would you choose?"

Juan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It has to be these two people?" ”

"Yes." Figo nodded strictly, he also wanted his little teammates to experience the dilemma!

"I'd rather sleep with Roy." Juan didn't hesitate.

Figo and Maniche, who had just stepped out of the bathroom, were dumbfounded, and Juan explained to himself: "Because Keane is older, it is easier to control." Did someone out there ask you a similar question? ”

"Yes, they asked me if I wanted to sleep with you or Robert...... "Figo was a little sluggish, was he too old to keep up with the times," what do you mean by that? ”

"Literally, of course." Juan gave him a surprised look back, "And what about your answer?" ”

"I'll talk to you, after all, you're young and need to be taken care of." Although he always felt that something was wrong, Mr. King of the Portuguese team still felt that his answer was perfect.

"Wrong." Juan shook his head, "You should say Cristiano, because he's the youngest...... Captain, you've been cheated again. ”

"So I'm supposed to sleep with Cristiano because he's the youngest?" Figo couldn't help but repeat it. At this moment, the three of them heard the sound of something falling to the ground at the same time, and when they looked back, Cristiano had just come out of the shower, and all his toiletries had fallen to the ground and scattered.

With Figo's stiff expression of realizing something, Juan began to pack his things very casually: "Cristiano, what are you doing in a daze?" Packed up and went back. ”

For the first time, Cristiano did not immediately respond to the words of his squad leader, but swallowed his saliva and looked at Figo cautiously: "Team, captain......?" ”

"It's all a misunderstanding! Listen to me!! ”

Luis Figo, probably the most unlucky captain in the history of the entire Portuguese team, is not one of them.

When he returned to the hotel, his little teammates still looked at him with a frightened face, the captain of Portugal was angry but wanted to directly carry the stinky boy and smoke it as usual, who knew that before he touched it, Cristiano jumped three feet away, and directly caught Juan and didn't let go: "Juan!" The captain is going to sleep with me! ”

Figo's hand froze, and the expression on his face turned blue and white. He had clearly explained it on the bus just now, and this kid still uses this as a pastime? He hasn't settled accounts with someone yet, and the bad luck before the game!

Juan obviously thought the same way, so he patted his little teammate on the head comfortingly, then pulled him away and sent him directly in the direction of Figo, and persuaded the last sentence very sincerely: "Don't beat him to death, this is the hope of Portugal's future." ”

Perhaps Juan's persuasion played a role, Cristiano finally did not end his career by his old captain on June 12, 2004, but as far as Andrade and others described afterwards, the captain actually had a very superb massage technique, which was enough to make people die and live, so sour......

Gee.

They were relaxed and ready to go back for a good night's sleep, and Juan came back to his room with a tactical board - Scolari called the coaching staff for a meeting to summarize the game.

"Juan, I thought you were going to rest." Scolari was obviously surprised to see him, Juan pulled out his chair and sat down and smiled: "Since I received the salary of a teaching assistant, I will not leave my post without permission." ”

Scolari nodded appreciatively: "Okay, with you as the player's representative, I can also understand the specific situation on the field more intuitively, let's make a summary of today's tactics first." ”

"In this game, the opponent played 5-3-2, almost taking the defensive counterattack route, and the staring policy of the five defenders made us suffer a lot. However, there should be no team other than the Greek team that can come up with five places to give the defenders a hard bar, so we still choose to step up the training to avoid training, maybe before the game against Russia on the 16th, we still need to have an intra-team match, do you have any suggestions? ”

At present, the table is occupied by the main members of the coaching staff of the entire Portuguese team, head coach Scolari, fitness coach Ryan, team doctor Richard, goalkeeper coach Luiz, assistant coach Juan, second assistant coach Juan and third assistant coach Juan...... Thanks to the terrible renaming rate on the Iberian Peninsula, the Portuguese team collected three juans.

In particular, the relationship between these three Juans and everyone in the team is very good, so the Portuguese team often has such an "accident" as "Juan is coming", which is especially easy to use, comparable to "the teacher is coming" in an ordinary school.

After everyone had debriefed on the day, Scolari began to assign tasks for the next few days.

"Ryan, in terms of physical fitness, it is difficult for everyone to improve in a short period of time, at least consolidate everyone's flexibility, Russia is better at dealing with direct offensives."

"Richard, before going to bed, I'll organize the players to come to you to check the injury and muscle strain."

"Luiz, the goalkeeper's training is up to you."

"Juan, train with the team, and the three Juans will be with me later, let's discuss the tactical arrangements for the next game."

There was a chuckle at the scene, and only the youngest of the three juans would play, but his opinion was also the most concerning, after all, he was there, and he must have known the problem better than those of them who were watching from the sidelines.

So after the whole court fell silent, the youngest Juan was the first to speak: "As far as how I feel on the court, it may be better for me not to play in the next game." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, and Scolari frowned: "Tell me your reasons." ”

"I don't know if it's an accident or what...... During the game, Greece had a lot of tactics against the Portuguese midfield. "Juan, in particular, was chased around by two defenders for almost half the game, and the whole Greek team was blatantly trying to stop Portugal from passing in Juan's direction.

The whole game their defensive focus was on Juan, which had to be said to be a terrible gamble, after all, Juan's affairs were still in a uproar at that time, and the football world was discussing the possibility of retired players playing, and Rehhagel, the creator of miracles, naturally understood that miracles were mostly born from people's disbelief.

His attention to Juan is obviously not formed in a day or two, otherwise there would not be any team that can still put a heavy weight on him when facing Figo, Cristiano and others.

And as it turned out, Rehhagel was right. If Juan was really completely defended at that time, the Portuguese team's offensive convenience would inevitably be greatly affected, and whether he could win or not was another matter.

"The next game against Russia, Portugal has a better chance of winning, I wonder if I should use this game to observe, Greece's table is just an accident, or is it ......" Juan did not continue, because the following may really make them unable to calm down.

They will have to figure out whether Greece is the only one targeting Portugal's weakness or whether all the teams are ready for Portugal.

"Okay." Eventually, Scolari nodded, "In the next game, I'll put Costa on the pitch and you'll be ready to play on the sidelines." Any other questions, if not, let's start looking at today's match between Russia and Spain? ”

Not long after the match between Portugal and Greece began, the match between Spain and Russia began, and Juan had already received a text message from Cassie on the bus, and they won the match 1-0.

It seemed like something that should be happy, but Cassie's words seemed very low, and Juan understood this.

After all, whether it is the national team or the club, Cassie is not in a very good situation right now.

In this year's Champions League, Real Madrid was killed by Monaco, that is to say, Real Madrid was sent out by Morientes himself - the most ironic thing is that Morientes was a player who was loaned to Monaco by Real Madrid, and the ball passed through Cassie's five fingers and was sent into the goal, and it was the only goal of the game, and the attitude of the club towards him was a little subtle.

And in the national team, he can't help but avoid meeting Morientes, especially since he is also a member of Real Madrid, their good friend, which makes his feelings even more delicate, and Juan only raised his eyebrows about this.

Has Casillas forgotten that for now, he is also one of the Real Madrid veterans? Morientes made him feel subtle in the club, and Juan may have to make him subtle in the national team.

Everyone said yes, and Scolari turned on the TV in the conference room and started playing, and Juan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow for the first two minutes.

"Didn't bring Guti, Seth is crazy?" Just now, a camera turned around, and there was no friend with his flowing blonde hair in the starters of the two teams, and then he swept the coach's bench, and there was no substitute?

"Yes, Spain didn't recruit Guti this time." Scolari also thinks that Spain's manager Saiss may have something wrong with his brain, or is it that the assist king of La Liga is so useless in his opinion?

"But I can probably understand ......" said the other Juan—let's call him the second assistant coach for the sake of distinction—"If I were the manager of the Spanish team, I wouldn't have called Guti, no matter how high his level of competition is, after all, in terms of his temper, maybe he will lead the Barcelona gang and the Real Madrid gang to fight on the spot." ”

"I also think, if you think about it, there has been no precedent for the national team to say that they will not play without thorns, not to mention Guti, Cantona, Redondo, ......"

"Shhhhh

Juan's expression grew colder, and he squinted his eyes at the person who spoke without saying a word. He was indeed the youngest of the people present, and he seemed to be the most harmless, but everyone knew that this man's temper was not very good.

Especially when it comes to people you care about.

Everyone was silent and began to watch the game, and Juan glanced at them coldly, shifting his gaze to the screen.

In this match against Russia, Spain played extremely hard. It's not that Russia is strong, it's just that there are too many people in Spain who are out of form throughout the game.

On the front line, Raul and Morientes are sleepwalking, midfielder Juan Bellerón is struggling to support, and goalkeeper Canizares intercepts a lot of must-score goals.

Igor Casillas was on the bench for this game, and that was the thing that everyone didn't understand the most.

And this game, in the end, was won back by Juan Bellerón's shocking long-range shot, otherwise Spain and Russia would have ended in a draw.

Watching the whole game, Juan's first reaction: "...... Spain's head coach is a Barcelona fan? "If not, why is it so directed at Real Madrid?

Raul and Morientes are in the opposite position, Casillas sits on the bench, and he is accompanied by two defenders from Real Madrid, the kind that is basically not easy to play in normal games.

"Maybe it's a Valencia fan." Scolari jokingly added that he and Juan had counted the two players, and only one Real Madrid player started on the pitch today, while Barcelona had three, Puyol, Xavi and Gabri, Deportivo also had only one Juan Bellerón, Atletico Madrid had one Torres, Ligue 1 Monaco had one Morientes, and the other four were all from Valencia......

It's a grand occasion.

"Well, while Spain is important, we still have to focus on Russia in this game, and they are our opponents in four days." The Brazilian coach clapped his hands, "They are very strong defensively and have a strong style of play, which is very similar to most teams in the Premier League. ”

'Yes, but against most teams in the Premier League we still need to guard against the small movements of the players, and against the Russian players obviously we just need to guard against their collisions.

There are still plenty of reasonable collisions on the pitch, and the Russian players clearly know this, and the coaching staff has made a sensible analysis of all the collisions they can expect during the game.

"First of all, you have to calm down Figo when you go through the collision, and you can't let the game become an all-out martial arts." And when it comes to fighting, they still suffer a little.

"Secondly, we mainly play on the wings, we may need more shells, if Juan is not on the field, Rui Costa will come, it is really not possible to practice for Marcello these days, no matter what, increase the fluidity of the pass."

"Then, we need a set of tactical ...... to lure the enemy into depth," Scolari said eloquently, he was fascinated by the art of war and tactics, so he had a lot of ideas, but among the people present, only Juan could keep up with him, and both of them were eager to take out the sand table for tactical drills, and the other people were too big to see.

"Juan, what do you think of this!" Scolari's face was red, and he demonstrated a very unique way of playing, because there was really no model for him to play, he could only tear a piece of paper from the tactical board and write: "I think if we had played the ball short in front of the penalty area, the Russian team would not have reacted. ”

"Yes, focus on the wings, and at the same time let Andrade or Carvalho plug in, and if the four of them attack together, you can basically win this goal safely."

The people at the scene heard it in a fog, aren't Andrade and Carvalho defenders, why did they plug in?

Scolari was clearly a man of understanding, and his eyes lit up as soon as he said this: "Good idea! If the final blow is made by a defender, the goalkeeper will be caught off guard, which is likely to cause a surprise goal, where did you learn this good idea? ”

Juan touched his nose in embarrassment, after all, there are still very few guards with knives on the court now, not as many as in the future, can he say that he dreamed of it?

"Forget it, no matter where you came up with it, all in all this method is good, and I have decided that we will work in this direction for the next few days!"

Scolari clapped the shot.

Their next game was going to Lisbon, and the next morning they all started to pack their things and set off as soon as training was over, but when they stood on the pitch, they were surprised to find that Juan and the strength and conditioning coach Ryan were already standing there, and their eyes drifted for a moment when they saw them.

What's wrong with this?

But before they could figure it out, Scolari had already appeared on the pitch and smiled kindly at everyone: "Let's relax today, let's go back and forth twice, the plane will arrive soon, and we will have a good rest in Lisbon at that time." ”

The players responded, and Cristiano's voice was the loudest, which made Scolari unconsciously look at him several times: "It seems that our Cristiano is in good spirits today, what happened to make you happy?" ”

The Portuguese teenager laughed twice, quietly looked at the captain standing aside, and quickly shook his head: "No, it's just happy!" "His captain really still loves him! Although I almost died last night, I am now refreshed all over my body!

"Since it's nothing, I'll talk about today's training." Scolari looked at the small notebook in his hand: "Two hundred and fifty short sprints, two hundred and fifty five-meter obstacle courses, five hundred passes and five hundred rounds, and a thousand shooting drills for everyone except the goalkeeper, after the completion of the morning training is over, it's very simple, right?" ”

"......" All the Portuguese were frozen on the pitch, and they didn't know if they were alive or dead.

"Just kidding." Scolari laughed, the whole team relaxed, and was about to say coach, don't lie to people, when the Brazilian smiled and added: "It's a day's training." ”

“……”

"Coach." Carvalho raised his hand, as a young newcomer from Portugal, he was very curious, and liked to raise his hand to ask questions, "Do our defenders also have to participate in shooting training?" ”

"Didn't I say that clearly enough? All but the goalkeeper participated. Scolari said this with an indescribable smile on his face, and everyone couldn't help but tremble.

"By the way, I would like to add to you...... Because this may be the first time that a defender has participated in shooting training at the moment, I have arranged for you to train separately - " As Scolari's finger pointed, the Portuguese defenders' eyes widened and widened, and finally they couldn't help but let out a desperate cry.

"No ......"

"Juan, they'll be handed over to you."

"Okay." With Juan's nod and the gloating smiles of the rest of the Portuguese players, Carvalho, Valente, Andrade and Miguel felt that the sky in front of them was pitch black.

The competition is hard and the training is deadly. Juan is very versatile on the pitch and knows that if he continues like this, he will most likely try his last position as goalkeeper - but Portugal should not be unlucky enough to do so.

He thought reassuringly, and then clapped his hands: "Come on, the goal of the morning will be over soon!" ”

Although it is true that today is mainly training, and the amount of training is not very large throughout the day, when it comes to lunch at lunch, the whole backline is still pale.

What was it like to be on an empty road for a morning?

Juan's training method is very simple and crude, he directly mixes all of Scolari's plans, the defenders start from 50 meters and dribble the ball one by one, and the one who can break through him and shoot the ball into the goal is considered a training session.

However...... It often happens that they just get to Juan with the ball and then the ball is gone. Juan was also very helpless about this, the ball was in front of him, and he subconsciously sent the ball away, which was also something that could not be helped......

Thankfully, in the end, Juan restrained himself and allowed the defenders to successfully complete their training goals.

During the meal, Juan also went to tell Scolari about the situation, and after thinking about it, Scolari finally decided: Just follow Juan's method, anyway, there must be passing training, and being passed must also have......

"Juan, someone is looking for you." At this time, a staff member suddenly ran over, "I don't know if I should stop him...... He's in the parlor now, are you going to find him? ”

"Him?" Juan raised an eyebrow, and honestly if Sister Eugenia came to see him, he thought it was very likely, but did any other friends come out of here to see him?

Especially, when basically all the friends he knows now are competing.

And when he went downstairs and saw the brilliant blonde hair, he realized it instantly.

Guti!

Spain's next game in four days is in Porto, but they are at the Estadio Besa a little away from here, Juan originally thought that Guti would only stay there to show solidarity with Spain, especially after eight days, Spain and Portugal will meet in Lisbon, and Guti has no motivation to come to see him.

But he's here now, and it seems that he has a lot of grievances against Seth?

Originally, he thought so, until he took two steps forward and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Why didn't Guti stand next to the couch and not sit down, there were still people in that single couch?

As it turned out, he guessed right. When the man on the couch got up and looked over with a smile on his face, Juan's head "buzzed".

"The table was good during the game." The man spoke, his voice low and soft, with a shiver like velvet sliding through his fingertips.

"Thank you......" Juan replied subconsciously, then sighed. The captain didn't tell me, you really came to watch the game. ”

"Your captain isn't that boring." The visitor bowed his head slightly, "Jose also said he wanted to come and see." ”

Spain's most unruly Bernabeu golden wolf is standing beside the man at this moment, as silent as a domestic pet dog, hearing him say this, he looked up at him timidly, but after all, Guti is still Guti, and in a blink of an eye, he laughed: "By the way, will you play in the next game?" ”

"No, I'll leave some body lì against Spain." Juan replied with a smile, and the two of them glanced at each other, both of them spotting the cold light in each other's eyes. "Seth needs a lesson......"

"Alright, you two." The man patted the two of them on the head helplessly, "Jose, now that people have seen it, just say anything you want." ”

"Oh yes!" Guti suddenly got up and grabbed Juan, "You're not at Manchester United next season?" ”

"Yes," Juan nodded, "and he won't go back to Real Madrid." ”

"Eugenia said that it is better for you to go back to Madrid, and she can rest assured that it is closer!" Guti snapped his fingers, "Rayo Vallecano and Getafe are both good choices, and there are many small beets in our academy, what's wrong with going over there?" He simply ignored Atletico Madrid, who were in the same city and closer to home.

"A Coruña is not far away." Juan looked helpless.

Guti subconsciously retorted: "Why is A Coruña not far away, if you drive...... Wait, A Coruña? Guti realized something and opened her mouth wide.

"Are you going to Deportivo La Coruna?" Obviously, this sudden news caught Guti off guard, after all, Super Laco's table at the end of the season, as a member of La Liga, he knows it all too well, and now no one can save Laco.

"Yes." Juan smiled and nodded, then suddenly thought of something, turned to look at the man very sincerely: "Fernando, is your contract at AC Milan coming to an end?" ”

He also asked knowingly, and the man knew his thoughts, so he only raised his eyebrows: "There is still a month and a half." ”

"In that case." Under Guti's frightened gaze, Juan expanded the smile on his face, "Are you interested in returning to La Liga?" ”

He really spoke! Guti covered her face and couldn't bear to look at it.

To be reasonable, he actually wants the man to return to La Liga, but if he wants to go back, he should go back to Real Madrid! …… It's very unlikely, though.

"A Coruña can't afford to pay my salary." The man replied directly and clearly, his salary is considered a high salary in football, and little Laco is now looking like he is going bankrupt, and if he barely pays, he will only have a future of bankruptcy.

"I'm going to try to make money," Juan assured, "and I'm going to make enough money at least until the winter break." ”

The man raised an eyebrow: "So?" ”

"I just hope that Deportivo will be on your shortlist when you choose to return to La Liga." Juan replied sincerely, judging from today's match between Spain and Russia, Valencia has no hope, and it is better to wait for the news of Deportivo directly.

"You're not yet Laco's manager." The man scoffed, for the confidence in his tone, but he reached out and rubbed his head as he had done every time, "I'll think about it." ”

Guti didn't speak the whole time, to be precise, he didn't dare to speak, but the golden wolf still glared at him fiercely with his blue eyes, with the momentum of coming up to fight him for 800 rounds, Juan smiled at this, not afraid at all.

In terms of appearance, Guti is softer, but in terms of temper, Guti is also worse...... However, in terms of force value, the Bernabeu Golden Wolf really can't have a fight with Juan, after all, in terms of size, Juan is very similar to the man in front of him, and Guti is really too thin.

After the man said to think about it, Juan finally felt relieved, and at the same time he also noticed Guti's gaze, and he could only smile at this: "Where are you going later?" ”

"Find a place to stay first, after all, we'll fly over after watching the game." The man naturally saw the expression of the little wolf cub next to him, sighed and patted his head, "When did you get on the plane?" ”

"In the evening, we'll leave as soon as the training is over." Juan couldn't help but blink, "There's plenty of time. ”

"Okay." The man smiled, "That's right, check if you've regressed." ”

Scolari was still eating, but while he was eating, his second assistant coach Juan rushed in: "Coach! Coach Scolari! ”

"What's wrong?" His shout attracted the attention of many people, and Scolari put down his knife and fork and was about to wipe his mouth, but was dragged up, "Come here, a hundred thousand urgent things!" ”

"How anxious can you be...... Scolari felt helpless, "by the way, what about the youngest Juan?" ”

"It's what happened to him!" The second assistant teacher was very anxious, "Didn't someone come to him before?!" ”

Scolari's heart jumped: "What, come to the door to provoke?" ”

"Anyway, pretty much......"

When Scolari arrived at the hotel's indoor training ground, Hu was standing quietly in the middle of the court, with a ball under his feet, which was the European Cup match ball "Logbook", he had taken off his training jacket, and in front of him stood a person with his back to him, his short hair was very well groomed, but that back made Scolari couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Very familiar people.

"Yo, old man." With a not-so-serious greeting, Scolari turned around, only to see the object of their discussion last night, the golden wolf of the Bernabeu, sitting lazily on the resting bench, beckoning to him: "Come and sit, there is still a place here." ”

Seeing Guti, Scolari's nervousness finally relaxed a lot, after all, Guti was Juan's friend and was well known in the circle, and as he walked there, Juan moved.

Scolari didn't even see his movements, but what surprised him even more was that the black-haired man stood still, and the movements on his feet were light and crisp, and he couldn't see clearly, but when Juan stopped, Scolari couldn't help but hold his breath.

The ball rested quietly at the feet of the brunette man, as if it had been where it had been in the first place.

He finally realized why this person's movements were so familiar, especially when the person turned his head, he finally couldn't hold back and let out a low cry.

"Fernando Redondo......"
