Chapter 194: The Way Home (Part I)
After being knocked out of the FA Cup by Liverpool, Heidward gave everyone a day off as usual, and Margery's plane flew to Monaco.
…………
"Ward, look at this" Chen Xi held up his mobile phone and leaned in front of Hydeward, still holding a glass of milk in his hand.
Edward is dealing with some emails from Sensibile and some requests for interviews, and the FA Cup result has brought him a huge amount of prestige both personally and as a team, and of course the most invited media events are the players. Jamie Vardy was invited to Portsmouth's local TV station to tell the story of how he went from the lower leagues to the Championship, and Mustafi, who has a good personal image and a good agent, also received two endorsement advertisements.
He stopped typing in his hand and leaned over: "What? ”
"Your player's life is not easy," Chen Xi said, pointing to the news above.
A few hours ago, a few hours ago, the little brother in Monaco updated a story and posted a screenshot of a death threat on social media, which was sent directly to the Instagram account, writing: "You ruined my championship, I'm going to kill your family, you England idiot." ”
Margery commented: "You can talk about whether I've been doing well or badly on the pitch, but don't talk about the stupidity of my family. ”
Hydward picked up his phone and clicked on Margery's Feed, and the comments below had exploded. There are scolding, there are comforting, and there are others.
But the further back he looked, he laughed out loud and unkindly, with a fan with a Manchester United emblem commenting: "Death threats? If this is true, the graves of the Four Heavenly Kings of My Demon Darkness are as tall as several floors. ”
Another Manchester United fan wrote: "I have to hurry to Phil? Jones made a phone call and told him to take care of himself and close the doors and windows when he went to bed at night. ”
A comment with more than a few thousand likes in the future is even more outrageous and hilarious: "Is that all? Sigan, Sendros, Julu and now Koscielny... Did I say anything about Gun FanTM? "The Arsenal brother is still stable, and he overtook the car directly in the corner, which may be the charm of modern football and modern socialization, and Hydward also praised it with a slight movement of his fingers.
Relieved, Hydward put his arm around his wife's waist and said, "This kid, you can take care of everything, give him some time"
Chen Xi was noncommittal, smiled with interest, took a sip of milk, his bright lips were stained with milky white liquid, and his tongue licked it.
For a moment, Ward was stunned, please, can you not drink milk when talking about such a serious topic, just drink it, what the hell are you drinking so tempting?
"What do you see? What's so nice about drinking milk? She furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
Hydward didn't speak, just stared.
The girl who was blushing a little couldn't help but wonder if there was milk foam at the corner of her lips, and licked it slightly.
Ward leaned in to make love, Chen Xi put his arm against his chest and tilted his head: "I haven't finished drinking milk yet... Go take a shower first. ”
He smiled, didn't indulge himself, and lightly nodded the girl's nose: "Forget it, I have to call Campbell first to deal with the matter of Margery, and there are some documents that I haven't read." ”
"What time is it?"
"I don't know, soon, I'll go to bed before 12 o'clock."
"Oh, there's fruit on the table, eat a little when you're hungry, and milk..."
…………
On the other side, Margery was still chatting with Dr. April, the psychiatrist introduced by Ward.
Coincidentally, the doctor was a fan, and even more coincidentally, he watched the FA Cup semi-final, and he began to help Margery analyze the causes and consequences of the fall. He made a mistake, he made a mistake on the pitch, and Margery simply admitted it, admitting that the fall had a major impact on the game.
But Aprilley asked a serious question: "Is this game lost, is the slip the only reason?" ”
He had to face the fact that it wasn't. Other players have made mistakes on more than one occasion, with Jamie Vardy missing a solo shot, Antonio Rudiger completely down in a confrontation with Skrtel and Drinkwater acting like an aggrieved kid when he was tackled by Kuyt in key positions. If his teammates could play normally, Portsmouth would have won long ago, and Hydward could have replaced him with the injured early, which was agreed before the game.
Of course, that didn't stop Margery from torturing himself, but it did make him feel better. The doctor reminds that professional players are also human beings, they also have seven emotions and six desires, just like anyone, there is always a little devil who releases negativity on him. This little devil appeared at the lowest point of the crowd and chattered and asked, "What if you didn't show up?" What if you hadn't fallen? What if you hadn't fought that one? Why can't you be a little more careful? It's all your fault, isn't it? ”
The little devil made Margery cry in the car, making him almost disappointed in his life, exacerbated by the death threats he received.
Dr. Apriley reminds that the little devil feeds on negativity and that he has to find a way to distract himself, and the Arsenal brother's comments did this not long ago...
Memories always love jokes, and Margery, who has a perfect personality, always makes himself tired when he chooses the path of a professional footballer, and his football career is tense, especially for him who has just started to play professional football, and the exhaustion at the end of the game is often always with him.
Dr. Aprile gave a note, a memory, a memory of the good, innocent, attachment of the past, that would dispel the pain.
Margery remembers him happy about the big house, Pons's dormitory for the children, where the televisions would turn off at 11 p.m., and in addition to seeing the first-team players training every day, the street prostitutes dressed up in fancy clothes to solicit customers were a little attractive
Don, who still works in the Academy, is a favourite of the kids, he's Pons' guardian, and the kids like to call him Tea Bag because he always likes to drink tea leaves or pack by pack. The players sometimes like to sneak into Don's room and smash him with something after the lights go out, and everyone thinks that this guy is tortured by the children, intimidating him and making him angry, but he can always keep the players doing dirty work on the field, even in the muddy and rainy winter.
The children are all purebred Britons, possess the same language, the same culture and a sarcastic spirit, laugh non-stop all day long, and love every prank. There are 20 people in the locker room, and Tang only gives a monthly salary of 250 yuan, all of whom are poor, but there is no oppression and burden.
Of course, as a prank to get revenge on the kids, the defender, who has been working at Portsmouth since the 80s, loves nothing more than his breakfast cereal. Why? As often as the club's children made classic jokes, Don went to the toilet as often as he went, and Margery, as one of the skinniest of the team, had to cheer up the football every day, and then he was forced to listen to the sound of crouching on time like a clock, and more painfully, he had to risk being smoked to death by a thick poisonous gas.
Of course, there were 6 people in a dormitory, and Tang was not alone in the morning bombardment, and Margery was not interested in finding out, just laughing, fighting, and making noise, as the stench of Coach Pons's office gradually dissipated, they also grew up, and gradually regarded the road they came from as the way home.
