Chapter 90: The European War is imminent

Ahead of the start of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid captain Lanzarote brought the La Liga trophy they won last season. As captain of Atletico Madrid, Enzo also brought the Copa del Rey trophy they won last season.

The two trophies were displayed on the sidelines to all the fans who came to watch, and in the middle of the two trophies was the winner of this season's Spanish Super Cup.

Atletico Madrid eventually lifted the trophy at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home stadium.

When the plastic coloured paper was blown by the staff on the sidelines with blowers towards the eventual winner of the match, the Atletico players rushed to grab the Spanish Super Cup trophy and tried to take more photos with the trophy in front of the media! Leave a moment of victory with a kiss on the trophy!!

Although everyone's relationship on weekdays is still quite good, at such a moment, the long and short legs are still found...... He wants to grab the trophy but can't grab the tall ones in the team!!

So he got his idea to the trophy that Atletico Madrid had won last season's Copa del Rey right next to him. He looked at the captain and asked Enzo if he could hold that! He was answered by Enzo's smiling expression. So he stupidly took the Copa del Rey trophy and ran to the bench to ask his club teammates sitting there to take pictures of him!!

Seeing which trophy Lei Yi was holding, everyone laughed loudly.

Seeing the stupid winger of his own team not far away, the Atletico Madrid players who had been on the pitch before the end of the game finally couldn't stand it, and ran to the bench with the Super Cup championship trophy in their hearts, and shouted Lei Yi's name, let him come over and come quickly!

So Yolandal and Sergio, two players in the Atletico Madrid team's tallest group, grabbed one of the handles of the Super Cup winner's trophy, put the trophy on Thunderwing's head, and appeared in front of the cameras of media reporters with Thunder Wing to give a thumbs up.

But...... It seems that the long and short legs are not satisfied with such a photo situation.

So Yolandal and Sergio glanced at each other, smiled and let Lei Yi hold the cup by himself! So the long and short legs were happy! This made an old-fashioned gesture, lifting the trophy above his head, but he didn't notice that the two club teammates standing next to him on the left and right actually squatted down, squatting even shorter than him! And the face has to look up!! The reporters on the sidelines who signaled to scoop the "long guns and short cannons" hurriedly came over and stood on tiptoe to shoot from top to bottom, shooting their No. 99 taller! More majestic and mighty!!

Thunder Wing: I'm not playing with you guys anymore!! You're all bullying me for being short!! Don't stand next to me, tall guys!! If you bother me again, I'll just stand on one leg with the long leg!!

Eventually, as the captain of Atletico Madrid, Enzo held the Spanish Super Cup trophy and asked Ray to help scoop the Copa del Rey trophy from last season's Copa del Rey back to the dressing room. As Enzo's back was about to disappear into the tunnel, he thought of something, turned around and raised the Spanish Super Cup trophy to the audience at the Bernabeu Stadium once again.

At that moment, he looked so confident. The same eyes like the Aegean Sea, but at this moment, people can feel the Iberian sunshine, without the slightest melancholy and deep regret.

In the dressing room, Atletico's players barely bothered to take a shower, so they were drenched in sweat and rushed to take photos with the trophy they won today, and then uploaded the photos and their mood to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

And they will also make a review of each other after uploading the photo.

Among them, the photo of Lei Yi and the trophy is the most hilarious.

In the locker room, long and short legs stood in front of the wardrobe and took photos with the winners of the Copa del Rey and the Super Cup respectively, and they all stood up straight there obediently, with their hands naturally downward, holding the base of the trophy in the style of an orangutan holding a baby, smiling silly.

Atletico Madrid's players circulated these two photos of Lei Yi to each other in the locker room, and everyone laughed "hahahahahaha" after reading it, and then logged on to their own account to like the two photos of Lei Yi! Thumbs up!!

* Think it's fabulous!

Yolandar thinks it's fabulous!

Sergio thinks it's amazing!

Enzo also thinks it's fabulous, amazing!

Seeing this new state, Tigos, who was far away in Manchester, England, sent a congratulatory message to Thunder Wing! Dominguez, who was in Milan, Italy, also called Ray Yi to congratulate him!!

But while Lei Yi and Domingos were talking on the phone, they heard someone in the locker room shouting: "Ah! Who was standing in the back without pants when I took a photo with Mibarak just now!! I just didn't pay attention! The photo has been sent!! Oops, I'm going to delete it now!! ”

So the locker room was boiling!!

Everyone is in a hurry to see if the sexy little back shown in the photo is theirs!!

It looks like they're going to have a lot of trouble before they bring both trophies back to Atletico's home stadium, La Pennetta's trophy showroom. And, after escorting the two trophies to the trophy showroom in their home stadium, the group of players who were instantly resurrected from the championship title will surely celebrate with a banging in the trophy room, even if they are extremely tired and energetic!!

Yes!

Away to Real Madrid!!

The Spanish Super Cup trophy is in hand!!

Playing in the Champions League in three weeks?

Refreshed!!

"Now that the Champions League group stage list is out, can you tell us about the three opponents who are in the same group as you?"

A few days later, Raywing spoke to a local newspaper as a new Atletico signing who shone in a few games at the start of the season.

"Hmm...... Our group stage opponents are Juventus, Celtic and Arsenal. ”

In the face of the local newspaper reporter in Madrid, Lei Yi, who had been learning Spanish for a while and had made rapid progress under the intensive training of many Madridians in the team, first tried to answer the other party's question in Spanish. Later, he also saw the encouraging smile that the older female reporter showed to him.

Thunderwing: "To be honest, I don't know anything about Celtic or Arsenal, eh......"

Female Journalist: ".................."

Thunderwing: "But I know Juventus! I'm quite impressed with them! Last season, my friend bought a ticket for the Turin derby in the second half of the season and invited me to watch the game! I went to get a feel for the Turin derby. The atmosphere is hot! And both teams are very strong, although Juventus are also very good, but Torino is certainly superior. If I had a choice, I'd rather meet Torino. ”

Lei Yi's words made the female reporter of the newspaper laugh, and she couldn't help asking: "Turin?" So are you serious? Would you rather meet Torino in the group stage of the Champions League than Juventus? ”

Such a simple sentence actually made Lei Yi think about it very seriously and carefully for a while, and then said, "Hmm...... Let's meet again in the knockout round. I still hope to play a few more Champions League games! ”

The female reporter asked: "For you, what is the biggest difference between the Europa League and the Champions League?" ”

Of course, the female journalist wouldn't ask a question like which you prefer the Europa League or the Champions League, but she is so clever that many players may not know how to answer such a question.

Can they say that the Champions League prize money is more than the Europa League?

But obviously, answering this question is not difficult for Lei Yi at all!!

"One of them plays on Wednesday or Thursday, and the other mostly on Friday!" Thunder Wing gave this answer almost without thinking: "I know that the Europa League game is on Friday so that more fans can have time to follow this game, but for the players, such an arrangement will be too busy. If you go to the away game on Friday, it's hard to be at your best on Saturday and Sunday. I can't even start. That would be unfair to the fans who pay for tickets to see the next league game. ”

Although he has been in Europe for more than a year, Lei Yi still has not been able to turn the traditional thinking about football in his head. Ingrained in his head, it is still the South American model of having a small broadcast market and relying on fans to buy tickets to watch the game to support the team's main operating expenses.

He apparently didn't realise that Champions League regulars like Atletico Madrid could already earn several times as much as ticket revenue just by selling their broadcast rights. However, Lei Yi's idea of starting from the perspective of fans first, and then from the perspective of winning or losing the game made the female reporter find it very interesting.

"In your opinion, satisfying the fans is more important than winning or losing the game," she said. ”

Lei Yi: "Hmm...... I should say that I want to win every game! But winning doesn't necessarily satisfy the fans who spent money on us. But the game that satisfies the fans is the one we won. ”

Winning is not necessarily satisfying, which of course fits well with La Liga fans, so the female reporter nodded in agreement.

Lei Yi continued: "Football is certainly not just a competitive sport. In Brazil, football is part of each and every one of our lives. Therefore, we also have to take every game very seriously and seriously! I can score goals, have assists, and celebrate wildly with my teammates who scored goals in a game! Every time I get an interception from an opponent's defender, I feel happy! I think when I'm having fun, the fans will be able to! Then they can discuss the details of each of our league games and study them for a whole week!! For each of us, there is never just a cold scoreline. ”

When the female reporter mentioned his captain, Enzo Guti, Lei Yi did not hide his love and admiration for his club teammate.

"Whether it's as a club team-mate or as a friend, Enzo is good! Those two goals he scored in the second leg of the Super Cup were fantastic!! ”

When Lei Yi said this, his speed of speech began to increase significantly, and he simply did not use the Spanish that he was not fluent enough before, and directly used the Portuguese that he spoke most smoothly and was also proficient in female reporters.

"I thought we were going to miss out! I've already made up for it! But in the end, the ball was saved by Enzo, and he also shot directly from a distance!! I think he's very versatile and he always surprises you on the pitch! He's a good player, a very good player! With him, scoring goals will be much easier!! It's a real pleasure to play with him on the same team! ”

…………

"Ahem, ahem. Enzo, I watched the game you played yesterday, against Real Sociedad, and it was a good game. Haven't lost at home since the start of the new season, Enzo? ”

It was Enzo's brother, Guti's eldest son, Etok, who spoke. He wanted to just remind his father that his brother had been playing really well lately, but he didn't think about it...... His overly cheerful wife didn't have any sympathy with him, and almost immediately picked it up and said, "Is it? But I think Enzo played better in the previous game! Didn't you tell me before that it's hard for a backcourt player to score goals in a game, let alone score a brace like Enzo? ”

Quiet......

Silence......

This sucks awk!!

Knowing that his wife's words would be terrible as soon as he said this, Etok could only eat his dinner in silence with his head bowed instead of answering his wife. Instead, his sister Sara immediately changed the subject and talked to his wife about some recent Milan fashion information. And Enzo's mother, Romina, who has been with Guti for many years, also joined the conversation among women.

Perhaps because of the profession of Etok's player agent, he is not a Real Madrid fanatic like their sister Sarah. And from the player's agent's point of view, he still admires a player like his brother. Though...... In order to prevent himself from being secretly sold to Real Madrid anytime and anywhere, Enzo did not choose his brother Etok as his agent at all.

In this regard, Etok will strongly condemn his brother and deeply regret it every time he has the opportunity.

Etok would always say to Enzo: "Let me talk to Atletico and I promise to make your salary even higher!" ”

Then Enzo may say casually: "Maybe I can get a higher salary when I go to Real Madrid?" ”

Then Etok might have accidentally exposed his horse's feet, and immediately picked up and said, "That's for sure!" ”

If that sentence wasn't enough to show Etock's intentions, the next one would certainly be: "I don't think 7.5 million euros is a problem." ”

Although the three children of the Guti family have all moved out separately, they still have the habit of spending weekends together as a family every once in a while. Even if he has gone to Real Madrid's sworn rivals, Enzo, who plays at Atletico Madrid, has not been deprived of such rights. However, Sarah, who has been working in Milan for the past two years, will come back a little less often. However, every time Real Madrid has an important game, she will come back from Milan on purpose.

Perhaps because Enzo's position is different from anyone else in the family, the family is careful not to mention Atletico Madrid when they are together, and rarely mentions the rivalry between Atletico and Real Madrid.

But obviously, when Etok now refers to the just-concluded match between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad, he is actually not talking about this game at all. What he wanted to say, of course, was what his wife said after that, the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

Even if they don't mean it, it's hard for them to say that Enzo's game was bad.

Imagine if Enzo's two goals were scored for Real Madrid, the family would have gone crazy with joy!! Their father might even be like his youngest son's club teammate, picking up Enzo and rushing outside the house, shouting "We're champions!" "While running around the outside of the house!!

But now, Enzo scored a brace against Real Madrid wearing an Atletico Madrid shirt. Those two shots were scored by Real Madrid.

This must have made their father's feelings very complicated and conflicted.

After dinner, Etok left with his wife because he wanted to study the contracts between his players and several advertisers. Sarah, on the other hand, thinks from a woman's point of view that maybe his brother will need to spend more time alone with his father, and maybe that will make things better.

Therefore, Sara also made eye contact with Enzo and suggested that he and his father were on good terms, so she went upstairs with Enzo's mother Romina early in the morning to the room that Guti had always kept for her at home.

In this way, the living room that was still very lively just now is now only Guti and his only son who has become a player, Enzo.

"Perhaps...... Would you want a cappuccino, father? ”

Understanding his sister and mother's intention to make room for both of them, Enzo hesitated for a moment before saying this to his father in a smiling voice. Guti then nodded to Enzo as well.

And just like that, Enzo went to the family coffee machine and made a cappuccino for his father. From the time he walked to the coffee machine, to the time he finished brewing the coffee and brought it to his father, Enzo had an indescribable apprehension in his heart. In front of his father, he will always be a child, not the captain of a team that can lead a world-class eleven-man team against any of the top teams.

In the face of the idol that he has been doing since he was a child, he always worries if he is not good enough here, whether he is not good enough there.

Although, at the age of fourteen, he had already made a decision that made his father feel extremely hurt.

But that doesn't contradict his feelings.

"Thank you." After taking the coffee from his youngest son, Guti said to Enzo in an almost gentle tone, "Sit down and watch TV together." ”

Hearing this, Enzo certainly did as his father told him with a sense of excitement. You know, after he left Real Madrid's academy and switched to the academy of Real Madrid's city rivals Atletico Madrid, his father rarely had such a gentle attitude towards him.

The TV is playing a Spanish costume TV series about a boy in a small town who takes his father's mantle and becomes a brilliant knight.

Stories like this seem to remind Guti of what Enzo was like as a child, and how the child first touched a football. Remembering this, none of Guti was immersed in the memories that were important and beautiful to a father. He began to tell Enzo the vivid memories that came back to him.

Compared to Guti, who remembered Enzo's every movement and even his expression very clearly, the current captain of Atletico Madrid obviously didn't remember those at all, and he looked very surprised, and then started the conversation with his father, asking his father what it was like when he first started to touch football.

"They all said that I named you Enzo in order to put you on a par with Zidane's son, but that's not the case. You are unique to me and my son does not have to compare himself to the sons of players of my generation. Never. Although when you were just born, I did want you to be a great player like Enzo, the prince of Uruguay. But when I saw you playing football for the first time, I knew that I just wanted you to be yourself and enjoy the joy that football brings you. In the same way, you don't have to deliberately learn the way I play on the pitch. ”

In the past, father and son always avoided talking about football in front of each other as much as possible.

God knows what kind of bad temper the Guti men have, and after deciding what he thinks, he doesn't care about anything else. They don't want to hurt each other in one argument after another.

Although, they have been stuck in the Cold War for many years.

José Guti turned his head and looked at his youngest son very seriously. Before coming here today to enjoy a weekend dinner with his family, Enzo took it a long time to clean up his hair and put on a white T-shirt that would bring out his temperament. It makes him look energetic and sets off his own temperament very well.

Guti knew that his youngest son was now extremely handsome, and he believed that no girl could refuse the pursuit of his youngest son.

He said, "You look good in white, Enzo." ”
