Chapter 9: The Battle of France
"Can I sit here?" ”
While a few people were chatting, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Fan Bizhuang raised his head and saw Puyol standing at the dining table, looking at him with a smile.
Not only Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, but also Pique, who looked like he was constipated, was also standing beside him.
Seeing the comer, Cazorla and the others immediately raised their heads, and their expressions were somewhat surprised. The relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona is known to the whole world that the two have always been incompatible with each other on the field, and even off the pitch, the relationship between the players on both sides is as flat as a glass of boiled water.
Even in the national team, the two camps can have less contact, so try to contact as little as possible. There is a good saying, more contact and more friction, less contact will cause less friction, and if there is no contact, then there will be no friction.
But now, several Barcelona players have gone straight to Fan Bizhuang, what is going on?
Cazorla's suspicious gaze went back and forth on Fan Bizhuang, and the strange questioning meaning was obviously very strong.
Fan Bizhuang rolled his eyes at them helplessly and said, "Santiago, what do you mean by looking at me like this?" Do you think I provoked them? Am I that kind of person? ”
The response was naturally a nod in unison.
The nickname of "Shijing" did not come out of thin air, when he was in a small town, how much trouble Fan Bizhuang could make, almost everyone knew it, and from the perspective of Fan Bizhuang's past "various bad deeds", it was impossible not to doubt whether he had done anything "angry and resentful".
Fan Bizhuang shook his head speechlessly, turned his head to look at Puyol, in the face of such a friendly inquiry from the other party, Fan Bizhuang was not an unreasonable person, so he nodded and said calmly: "No." ”
“……”
“……”
Cazorla and the others were speechless, and they almost wrote on their faces: I knew, I knew this guy would say that! Yes, this is very Fan Bizhuang! With this cheeky kung fu, I don't support the wall, so I only serve you!
The embarrassing cancer of several Barcelona players is about to be committed, and Puyol is even more aware, fortunately, the captain of Barcelona is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, Rao is so, for Fan Bizhuang's "wonderful", he is also quite helpless.
Puyol automatically ignored Van Bizhuang's unfriendly response and sat down across from him.
"Honestly, Fan, you don't have to put on a respectful attitude when you see us, although we are competitors in the league, but in the national team, we are teammates, we are a team." "Actually, I just want to express my gratitude this time, and Gerard has something to say to you. ”
The word "thanks", Puyol bit hard, obviously referring to something else. In fact, Puyol and Xavi and others still feel a little uneasy, so they simply brought Pique over to thank them, as long as Fan Bizhuang accepted the thanks, then the other party will no longer talk about Pique's "complaining and complaining".
Fan Bizhuang was at ease, nodded, and said, "Thank you?" Thank me for what? I don't know what you're talking about. If it's okay, then I'll go first, I'm not used to being surrounded by so many people, watching the excitement like a monkey. ”
But isn't it, several giants of Barcelona have found Fan Bizhuang together, what is this going to do? Could it be that Real Madrid and Barcelona are going to tear their faces apart, and a fierce battle is about to be staged? Many international players are standing not far away, looking at this side with curiosity.
Even Ramos and others are walking towards this side - they don't know what's going on here, but seeing so many Barcelona players surrounding Fan Bizhuang, they can only come over to "support" first, and if they wait for a while, they won't let Fan Bizhuang fight alone.
Puyol was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, there were national team teammates watching the excitement on all sides, which made him smile bitterly. The grievances and feuds between Real Madrid and Barcelona have been around for a long time, and a little thing is likely to lead to all kinds of speculation, so he really didn't think about finding Fan Bizhuang directly. I knew that he had already changed the time and place and came over to talk in private.
When he was thinking like this, Puyol saw that Fan Bizhuang had already pushed the plate, stood up, and quickly followed suit: "Fan, Gerard......"
"I said, I don't know what you're talking about. Do you want to say thank you, or do you want to apologize, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me, don't look for me, go to whoever you like...... Well, that's it, let's go first. ”
Fan Bizhuang dropped such a sentence very unceremoniously, turned to Cazorla and the others and nodded, and a group of people raised their feet and left in a huddle.
This kind of "goodbye without saying goodbye" seems a little impolite, and Pique, who was forcibly dragged over, was very unhappy on his face, and complained angrily in the back: "I really think of myself as a big name, I don't know how to respect my predecessors at all, it's really ......."
Harvey glared at him, and Pique swallowed the unspoken words back into his stomach.
"Calais ......"
Harvey's expression was a little hesitant and worried, but Puyol waved his hand and turned to leave, "Okay, don't take it to heart, since he said he didn't know what we were talking about, it means that he forgot, or didn't pay attention to what happened before." It's okay, let's go too. ”
Xavi and Iniesta glanced at each other, dragged Pique, who was still a little dazed, and left.
……
The arrival of Fan Bizhuang and others announced that all the members of the national team who participated in this training camp had arrived.
In the next two days, the team's daily training can finally be carried out in a neat posture, but it is still based on reserve physical fitness, supplemented by basic training, and the training volume is not heavy.
In addition to the first day of the report, in the next two days, Fan Bizhuang and others not only had to train with the team, but also had to complete the ten laps of running punishment every day after the training.
Fortunately, the daily training was not too heavy, but the extra ten laps still made people feel tired, which made Fan Bizhuang and several people complain about the initiator Ramos.
Fortunately, the tough days will pass, and three days later, the head coach of the national team, Bosque, announced the end of the training in Spain, and the team will leave for Paris, France, where they will stay for four days before departing from Charles de Gaulle Airport for a direct flight to the African continent.
……
The French national team is a decisive force in European football and world football, they have won the European Championship twice in their history, and in the 1998 World Cup held in France on home soil, the French team led by the legendary Zinedine Zidane defeated the biggest favorite Brazil in the final to win the Hercules Cup for the first time on their home soil.
It was the heyday of the French team, and it was also the most powerful Gallic rooster in history, Zidane, Henry, Vieira, Trezeguet...... They became the first Grand Slam winners in the history of European football to win the World Cup, the European Championship and the Confederations Cup.
However, after the retirement of a group of superstars led by Zidane, the French team inevitably went downhill, entering the post-Zidane era, the strength of the French team has been seriously weakened, and the relationship between the team is also complicated, resulting in a rapid decline in the results of the French team. This time in the European qualifiers, the French team stumbled, and it was not until the last moment that they overwhelmed Ireland with a controversial goal from veteran Henry and won the ticket to the World Cup in South Africa.
It can be said that the contrast in strength between the old generation of hegemonic French team, which has gradually lost its glory, and the Spanish national team, which is now in full swing, is an extremely stark contrast.
And this friendly match, although it did not have much impact on the results and was not important, still attracted great attention from the outside world.
The two generations of hegemons in European football, the old and the new, face each other, and this is almost a battle for the throne.
France want to show the world with a win that they are still the strongest force in European football.
The Spanish national team, on the other hand, also wants to use the victory to declare that they are the true kings of Europe.
How can such a contest not attract attention?
Therefore, on the day of the game, the host of this game, the Parc des Princes Stadium, the home of Paris Saint-Germain, can be described as full.
The Parc des Princes, which can accommodate nearly 50,000 people, was already full of people more than half an hour before the start of the game, and the French fans arranged it into a sea of blue, and the singing and cheering did not stop for a moment, surging like a wave.
The fiery atmosphere and the scorching scene made Fan Bizhuang, who was called by the national team and went away with the team for the first time, feel a little enthusiastic in his heart, but unfortunately, no matter how excited he was in this game, it was useless, because of the decision of the team's punishment, he could only sit on the bench and act as a spectator of the game.
And as depressed as Fan Bizhuang were Casillas, Albiol and others, several of whom glared at Ramos angrily, and Real Madrid's iron guard was sneering and innocent.
This makes a group of people a little helpless, this guy is so thick-skinned, what can we do? We're desperate too!
Qi Qi sighed and had to accept the fate of sitting firmly on the bench.
Fan Bizhuang looked at the field, the members of the two teams had already played, the national anthems of both sides were played in turn, and the game was about to start.
……
And in an apartment in Lyon, Bella, who was holding a little fan, also turned on the TV at this time......
