Chapter 639: Cheers to Vardy
As the story of Vardy standing up for justice and saving the crisis spread, Vardy became popular all over the world, and England and the European Championship also received wider attention, which has become a national phenomenon.
Many people have said that Vardy's bravery alone should give Vardy the honor of the best player in the European Championship, and I believe that no player disagrees with this.
There are even fans who say that such an England, even if it is not too much to take away the European Cup champion, after all, the European Cup is held every four years, but life is priceless.
Interestingly, seeing that England and Vardy have received so much attention, many teams and players have deliberately followed suit.
The player said that he has done countless good deeds since he was a child, from helping a beautiful woman cross the road to picking up a penny and handing it to the policeman's uncle, his life is endless, and he does not stop doing good deeds, and he feels uncomfortable if he does not do a good deed every day.
But before the evening, the media revealed that the player was molesting a dancer in a hotel a month ago, which made him anxious, although he also gained attention, but his reputation stinked on the street.
At this time, Vardy and England are training in a low-key manner, even though there are many reporters to interview every day and many fans to visit the class, but in order to prepare for the game, England chose to keep a low profile.
Soon after, the European Championship officially opened, and after the opening ceremony, the host Swiss team lost to the Czech Republic in the opening match, which also kicked off the exciting competition of this European Cup.
And the next day, England's Group B was also in full swing.
England's first opponent in the group stage is also the hosts, so England is already playing away from home.
If Dardy remembers correctly, neither of the two hosts of this tournament has been very good, and after the group stage, they all went home, giving up the field on their home to other teams.
At least Vardy didn't think Austria could cause much trouble for England.
Compared with the later Austria and Liu Xing, a first-class star, the host in front of him does not even have players who are familiar with Vardy, and they are obviously not powerful players in the mainstream league.
Of course, if the players are not familiar to everyone, they can also be described as the mysterious master, at least it sounds better.
Along the way, the England bus was not harassed by the Austrian fans, on the contrary, many Austrian fans met the England bus, applauded and cheered, and stretched out their thumbs, as if they were welcoming their home team.
"Are Austrians so hospitable?" Rooney asked, a little puzzled.
After experiencing too many away difficulties and off-the-beaten-track moves, and suddenly being so popular with the home fans, most of the English players are really a little uncomfortable, and happiness comes too suddenly.
"How can we say that we are also a top giant, presumably the Austrian fans also know that they can't play us, so it is better to treat it as a friendly match!" Ferdinand said nonchalantly in the back.
Rooney nodded, there is such a possibility, as if once went to the Club World Cup, the local fans almost knelt down to welcome Manchester United, when the difference in strength is too large, the victory or defeat of the game is completely meaningless, and the hostility is not necessary.
Vardy ignored their whispers, he was battling the system!
"You don't have a mission for such an important game?" Vardy couldn't help but question the system.
Although he once frustrated that the system could not issue tasks, Vardy later found that in fact, task rewards were still the best way to make himself grow, so he gradually rejected them.
And today is the European Cup, such an important game, it can even be said that it is not inferior to the World Cup, but the system has not moved at all, as if it is dead, which makes Vardy very unhappy!
"System prompt: There is really no suspense in the match with Austria, please don't embarrass the system!"
Well, Vardy sighed, the system is also quite tsundere.
Of course, what the system said is also right, with England's current strong strength, if it can't easily win Austria, then the next games don't need to be played, just go home and farm.
In the dressing room, Jamie Vardy did not forget to ask the team doctor to put a bandage on his hand before coming on the pitch.
In the past two days, he did not choose to let the system help recover the injury on his hand, which is different from the injury of the muscle, which is obvious on the surface, if it gets better too quickly, anyone can see that there is a problem here.
It didn't get in the way anyway, and it didn't delay playing on the pitch, so Vardy just went with the flow.
When everyone was ready, Vardy also stood up and walked out of the dressing room amid the roars of his team-mates.
The voice in my heart kept echoing.
Champion, I'm coming!
......
In the player tunnel, the players from both sides lined up in two columns, and because they were not familiar, there was no greeting each other at first.
Soon, though, the young captain of Austria, Ivan Schötz, suddenly walked towards Vardy and extended his hand to him.
There was no need for Vardy to turn away the goodwill shown by his opponent, and he also stretched out his hand and shook it warmly.
"It is a pleasure to be able to compete with you and, above all, thank you for your heroic act a few days ago, you are a friend of all our Austrians and we will always welcome you!"
Vardy didn't expect his opponent to say such a thing, but when he thought about it, he didn't seem surprised.
"That's my pleasure, I love Austria and of course, you don't expect me to let go of the water in this fight!" Vardy blinked, jokingly.
After Ivan Schzz walked back into the queue, Rooney leaned over and quietly asked Vardy: "Is he here to provoke with harsh words?" ”
Vardy smirked and whispered to Rooney: "No, he said he likes just as much as I do, and wants to be friends with me." Then I told him, you're getting the wrong person, it's Wayne who has the same hobbies as you, and you should have a common language! ”
Rooney nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Ivan Schitz with involuntary eagerness.
Before Vardy could continue, the two teams were about to start entering the pitch under the guidance of the referee.
As soon as the two teams walked out of the players' tunnel, the stadium immediately erupted in the most fervent cheers, which were dedicated to the two teams by the fans of both teams, and the atmosphere of the stadium reached a climax for the first time.
However, after a brief period of cheering, the atmosphere gradually calmed down, but suddenly the Austrian fans unexpectedly erupted in cheers again, and everyone could clearly hear that they were not shouting the name of a player in the Austrian team, but the name of England team Vardy.
At first, Vardy thought it was the shouts of the English fans, and turned his head to wave his hand to the English fans in thanks, but what he didn't expect was that what he saw was the somewhat confused expressions of the English fans.
The England fans were surprised, obviously they are England fans, they haven't cheered for Vardy yet, why did the Austrian fans next door cheer for Vardy first, did these Austrian fans defect today?
Vardy looked around and saw a number of banners unfurled by Austrian fans in the stands.
"Thank you for your courage!"
"Thank you for your bravery!"
"Vardy, you will always be a good friend of Austria!"
......
Even Vardy saw that in a special box, all the passengers who stood up and cheered were the passengers he had rescued from the burning bus, and even the old man who came out of Vardy's back at the end, as well as the women and children who were holding out, were also among them, and they were waving to Vardy excitedly.
Vardy understood that the applause and cheers were given to him by the Austrian fans, who, as they said, thanked him for what he had done in the face of the crisis, and that he might have become a good friend of Austria.
It was a great feeling to feel like Jamie Vardy had never enjoyed the cheers and applause of the visiting fans on the road, at least so far.
Although he knows that this kind of gratitude has little to do with football, football and life are sometimes inseparable.
Feeling a warmth on the pitch that was different from the passion of football, Vardy couldn't help but step out of the queue and wave to the stands on all sides, saluting and expressing his gratitude.
Thank you for the cheers, thank you for the applause, yes, we are friends.
Jamie Vardy's action drew even louder cheers, and the touching scene inside the stadium was heartwarming for all the fans.
Who says football has to inspire cutthroat competition?
Who says football has to be a winner?
Who says football has to mean antagonism and hostility?
Jamie Vardy is staging a touching scene with Austrian fans, which will surely change the definition of football in many people's minds.
All people's subconscious minds should be striving for perfection, and they are willing to see a scene of harmony and happiness, just like now.
The rest of the England players couldn't help but look jealous, cheered on by the visiting fans on the road, and Vardy did what most players have not been able to do in their entire careers.
Back in the queue, Vardy and his team-mates waited for the pre-match ceremonies such as the national anthem being played, and now the game was finally about to begin.
The heart was still excited, but Vardy tried to calm himself down.
......
Just as the two sides were finally ready to start, the mascot on the sidelines also finished their warm-up work and wanted to walk off the pitch and give up the field to the players.
But what no one expected was that a funny scene suddenly appeared, the pair of twin brother mascots suddenly fell to the ground when they walked in front of the England team, motionless, as if they were dead.
The fans watched this scene in surprise, and the England players were also surprised, what the hell are these two naughty little guys doing?
And Vardy, who was just in front of the mascot brothers, had a faint feeling that this seemed to be coming for him!
