Chapter 727: This Evil Breath in Lao Tzu's Heart!
Zhen Shaolong was angry about Zidane's 'not paying back the money', he didn't think that he was too stingy, or that he attached too much importance to money, because he would rather Zidane pay for an ordinary party than the club to pay for a large party.
The reason is simple --
It's a bet to win!
Bet, be sure to pay attention to this word, just like playing cards face-to-face, someone pays when the player loses, and it feels very boring to win.
Gambling is to let the money in your hand win into my hands.
When the opponent is uncomfortable and depressed because of losing, the winner will get the sense of accomplishment of 'winning', otherwise the opponent will lose and someone will pay the bill, or it will become a joint money, not gambling but cooperation.
"It's worse than paying a bill!"
The more Zhen Shaolong thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, he felt that Zidane was even more hateful than Alan Shearer, Alan Shearer was just simply repaying the debt, he could openly ask for the account, maybe ridicule Alan Shearer.
Zidane is an ear 'tricker' outside the rules, and he can't open his mouth if he wants to account.
This breath is very depressed.
Zhen Shaolong couldn't do anything after thinking about it carefully, and knew that Zidane would definitely not repay the money, so he could only wait for the opportunity in depression for the time being, "Don't let me catch the opportunity!" ”
"This revenge will be avenged!"
The next day.
The final match of the 'Peace Cup' was played against Real Madrid and Aston Villa.
Aston Villa can't be underestimated.
Aston Villa's back-to-back performance in the past two seasons has led to a renewed scrutiny of the distribution of teams in the upper middle of the Premier League.
If Newcastle United, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are counted as the first group, then Aston Villa and Everton, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur should make up the second group.
Last season, Aston Villa finished seventh for the second season in a row.
In the middle of the season, Aston Villa also rose to fifth place and were hoping to secure a Champions League spot, but the decline in their own results and the strength of their rivals cost them this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This is not all bad for Aston Villa, who should have made a wise decision to play in the Europa League with the strength of their squad rather than the Champions League.
Aston Villa had a pretty good run last season, but they are remembered more by fans for Newcastle United and Yan Shaolong.
Aston Villa are the only team to have the upper hand against Newcastle United, who have met twice in the league with one win and one draw, while Zhen Shaolong has featured in both games and scored a goal each.
That's remarkable.
Aston Villa coach O'Neill can say with confidence, "We are the only team that is not afraid of Zhen Shaolong!" ”
O'Neill's rhetoric seemed to be provocative, but Real Madrid had no intention of accepting the offer at all.
For one, the opponent is just Aston Villa.
Second, Real Madrid doesn't need to send Zhen Shaolong at all, even if it's just to give other players a chance, Pellegrini also has a reason to put Zhen Shaolong on the bench, after all, he has already played twice.
The 'Peace Cup' event went on very quickly, with an average of one game every three days, Zhen Shaolong played twice in a row, so he naturally needed to rotate and rest, but because it was the final of the 'Peace Cup', he still entered the squad.
In the end, Zhen Shaolong did not get playing time.
Real Madrid performed quite well in the game, playing a coordinated and flexible midfield, the steady middle became a highlight, and the wings also gave a lot of support to the strikers, which also gave the strikers more opportunities.
Raul was the most eye-catching, scoring two goals.
Not long after the start of the second half, Diarra assisted to complete a long-range shot to help Real Madrid score their third goal.
The final score was fixed at 3-1.
Real Madrid relied on three goals from Raul and Diarra to beat Aston Villa to win the Peace Cup.
Although the 'Peace Cup' is very frustrating, and even useless, it is also an event after all, and it feels good to win the championship.
After the game, the media praised Raul.
Raul's performance was undoubtedly outstanding, he didn't get involved in the attack much, but every attack was decisive, and Marca newspaper believes that Raul is the second most dangerous in the Real Madrid team, ahead of C-Ronaldo and Kaka.
It's also about the perseverance and spirit shown in the game.
From the first minute of the game, Raul was on the move, attracting a large number of defenders from the front, finding the opportunity to score two goals, and his efforts also affected his teammates and made Real Madrid look very energetic overall.
The media described Raul as saying, "He's a star of stars!"
"Matador of matadors!"
"He used his hard work to drive the whole team, and he also made the game look very positive and the field became exciting."
————
Zhen Shaolong didn't care about how Raul was.
After the day's game, the whole team regrouped in the dressing room and Pellegrini talked about the holiday – two days in a row.
The two-day holiday is not long, it is equivalent to an ordinary weekend, but it is quite valuable during the season preparation, and Zhen Shaolong also plans to use the vacation to hold a party to promote the relationship with his teammates.
Since everything is planned and paid for by the club, Zhen Shaolong has very little to worry about, he just sent invitations to all his teammates.
In the early morning of the holiday day, the estate becomes much more lively.
Real Madrid Club drove a truck and two pickup trucks, which were loaded with all the things needed for the party, including exquisite tables, chairs, benches, plates, wine glasses and other utensils, and even large kitchen utensils, as well as some decorative flowers, streamers, and of course, all kinds of food materials.
Zhen Shaolong also noticed a bunch of wrapped gifts in the back seat of the pickup truck, and he asked the staff, "What is this?" ”
"It's a gift for guests."
"What's in there?"
"There are rings, necklaces and other trinkets for women, as well as belts and gloves for men, etc., and you have to open them to know what they are."
"It's interesting."
Zhen Shaolong commented with a smile and was very satisfied with the club's arrangement.
More than half of the morning is spent with the staff decorating the living room, hallway, and small garden.
Zhen Shaolong's manor has to bring a 'small' word, which is much larger than ordinary housing, but there is still no way to compare with the real manor, holding a party of two or three people is barely qualified, and the number of people is more crowded, and the open space inside and outside the house must be used reasonably, and the workload is still relatively large, but fortunately, the club has enough people, and a few temporary workers have been hired to help, and half a morning is about the same.
At eleven o'clock, the guests arrived.
The first to arrive were the familiar teammates, Granero and Diarra, who came early to see if they needed help.
Kaka's family also came early.
Kaka not only brought his wife, but also his sister Selena, and several people were in the living room, and Kaka helped introduce her, "Zhen, I talked to Selena about you, and she definitely knows you, but you only know her name." ”
"Maybe you'd like to get to know each other, too."
"Hello."
"Hello ......"
Zhen Shaolong and Selena shook hands gently, and after the two looked at each other and smiled, they were a bit like ordinary men and women who had just met, and they sat on the side and didn't say anything until Kaka and his wife left in a funny way, and they laughed and talked.
Selena was the first to speak, "Why did you give me that?" ”
"Sorry, I don't understand, you're asking about the ring?"
“! #¥#%……”
“#¥¥……”
Then the two found themselves unable to communicate.
The atmosphere was not embarrassed by the inability to communicate, each of them said a word, as if they understood what the other person said, and as if they didn't understand it at all, after talking for a while, both of them felt very interesting, and simply burst out laughing together.
When Kaka came back over, he noticed that the two were covering their mouths and laughing, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "I just thought that Selena doesn't know English." ”
"Zhen, your Spanish ......"
"We had a great conversation." Zhen Shaolong laughed, "It's more enjoyable than you imagined." ”
Kaka looked at Selena suspiciously.
Selena pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, "Yes, brother, he's such an interesting person." ”
“……”
Kaka was a little confused.
Soon Zhen Shaolong had no time to sit idle, and there were more and more guests, and he had to receive guests as the host, some of whom were completely unknown, including Madrid's football circles, journalists, club managers, important directors, and female celebrities and models invited by the club.
There are a lot of people.
Zhen Shaolong is polite and smiling, but he has a lot of helpers, such as familiar teammates, as well as Rena, Claudio and others, and even Jenny have joined in the ranks of receiving guests.
The last to arrive were Florentino and Zinedine Zidane.
Zhen Shaolong is very enthusiastic about Florentino, but he is really not enthusiastic about Zidane, who came with him.
Of course.
Zhen Shaolong still maintained his superficial enthusiasm, for example, he staggered Zidane, gave Zidane's wife a warm kiss, and then patted Zidane's eldest son's shoulder, compared the size of the second son, stuffed the doll in his hand into the arms of the third son, and teased the youngest son, who was only three years old.
After this whole set, everyone felt very enthusiastic.
Zidane looked at it a little depressed, he was about to hug Zhen Shaolong just now, but the other party didn't seem to see him, so he staggered over directly.
That's embarrassing.
"He probably didn't notice, or he was too busy, after all, there were too many people." Zidane can only think so.
As a matter of fact.
Zhen Shaolong was extremely unhappy with Zidane, the other party not only owed money and did not pay it back, but also dragged a large family to eat and drink.
Look at this big guy...... Four sons!
Not to mention how much the family can eat, the four sons standing side by side are very bluffing, and it is really amazing when they all grow up.
When Florentino arrived, the people came more or less the same.
Zhen Shaolong walked to the innermost and picked up the microphone, talked about the feeling of coming to Madrid, looked forward to life in the next few years, and thanked all the guests who came.
Then, the PARTY officially began.
PARTY, cocktail party and the like, it is a place to expand the social circle, and the participants will chat with someone and meet the people they want to meet, Zhen Shaolong is naturally very popular, he originally wanted to laugh with Selena, but there were too many people who came to know him, everyone talked a few words, and an hour passed.
Zhen Shaolong finally took the time to rest, and noticed Zidane's movement not far away.
Zidane is the 'courtesan'.
There are a lot of people who come to the whole PARTY, there are not hundreds of people together, there are always seventy or eighty people, including those in the football circle, reporters, including the families of some teammates, including female models, celebrities, Zidane can almost call out his name, and greet each other for a good time, he also took his eldest son and second son to socialize together, wanting more people to know about his sons.
All right.
This is understandable.
Zidane's eldest son Enzo and second son Luka both play in the Real Madrid echelon, and they do need a certain amount of connections in the future.
Anyway, Zhen Shaolong was very unhappy.
The protagonist of the PARTY seems to have become Zidane, which is specially organized for his family, and Zidane's eyes did not mean 'owe money' at all, and he smiled as if he was still saying, 'How is it?' The big party I helped you do was great! ’
"Damn!"
"Lao Tzu has this evil breath in his heart......"
Zhen Shaolong felt more and more unhappy, but he didn't know what to do, and when he turned his head depressedly, he found that there were a bunch of gifts on the cart outside, and the staff was trying to distribute gifts to everyone.
His thoughts flickered.
Pregnant!
Zhen Shaolong immediately walked over and said to the staff, "Go enjoy the PARTY, eat anything, you must be tired from a busy morning!" Go ahead, I'll leave it to me. ”
"Thanks, that's great."
Two staff members walked into the venue, they had been busy all morning, and their appetites were almost loud.
And then.
Zhen Shaolong pushed the cart to the staircase of the living room.
There was a corner next to the position, which was still relatively quiet, and then he called Granero and Diarra.
"Listen to me!"
"I'll help distribute the gifts in a while, and you'll be in charge of the female models, the celebrities, and then do what I say."
The two nodded together.
Zhen Shaolong looked at the living room and focused on a girl, the other party seemed to feel the gaze, turned his head to look at this side and smiled charmingly, the provocative meaning in his eyes was full of teasing.
Zhen Shaolong smiled back.
He took a white-wrapped gift and handed it to Granero, "You send this to her, and you say 'Zinedin sent it at the fingertips,' and again, to emphasize, 'Zinedin says he knows your colors today.'" ”
Zhen Shaolong continued to advise for a while, so that Granero completely understood.
Granero nodded vigorously in succession.
After Granero walked over, Zhen Shaolong 'guided' Diarra again, he looked at the other girl, and then chose the gift wrapped in red.
