Chapter Twenty-Seven: True and False
Such strange and surprising content came, and the two of them didn't have to look back to guess who it was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bergkamp.
Geniuses often have quirks, and the Dutch are no exception.
Aside from his temper tantrum and fear of flying, Bergkamp's way of thinking is clearly not on the same channel as the average person. Especially when it comes to interacting with people, except for his family and a few friends, he almost never wants to take the initiative to communicate with people!
The media, which is good at stirring up the wind and rain, hates the sleek and sophisticated old guys the most, and the favorite is the straightforward and undisguised personality of the young man. When he first arrived in Italy, the Dutchman's title as the highest paid Serie A player quickly attracted countless media, and the all-round coverage seemed to treat him as public property, and he was eager to set up a camera 24 hours a day to record his words and deeds.
Soon, the bottomless interviews of the tabloid reporters made him bored, and his attitude naturally became worse and worse. As a result, the image of the Dutch has become more and more unbearable in the description full of grievances, and the slightest flaw in the performance on the field will be criticized by double standards.
The word "genius" has also become more and more demeaningful, surrounded by ridicule and ridicule, which makes the Dutch feel depressed.
The media is such a thing that you can try to keep yourself out of the way, but you can't ignore the full range of influences.
Teammates, family, friends, all the factors that make up the external environment cannot be left unaffected by the malicious distortion of fatigue bombardment. After a long time, it became a dream to be alone.
After a hasty escape from the Apennine Peninsula, the Dutch came to London, the capital of the world, famous for its tabloids and paparazzi. Just when Inter Milan was glad that the stop loss was successful and smiled coldly, something unexpected happened.
Wenger would rather live up to the infamy and strictly limit the frequency of interviews by journalists. Especially for the unpleasant guys who have had trouble with the media, except for a few reporters who have a good relationship with the club can get an exclusive interview, no one else can even think about it!
You know, the Premier League is developing so fast, and the credit of the media is huge. Maintaining the visibility of teams and their stars is both a trend and an important source of commercial interest. Exposure is drastically reduced to protect the players. It will not only cause dissatisfaction among the media and businesses, but also make some fans and the FA complain.
The fact that the usually suave economics professor has failed to keep up with the times in this regard is obviously somewhat surprising to everyone.
Thankfully, Arsene Wenger's infamy has not been in vain, and Bergkamp has reached the peak of his career under this protection. The goal against Argentina at this year's World Cup has put half of his foot in the hall of legend, and the stadium in Highbury has become a spectacle because of his presence.
With dazzling and charming performances on the field and low-key and mysterious life off the field, such a leading star attracts not only fans, but also teammates.
Yumo and Ljungberg have been with the team for more than three months. Aside from the manager's relationship with Overmars, they haven't seen anyone else talk to him in depth.
This sentence clearly expresses his position, so what should you respond to?
The Swedes were still hesitating, and Yumo's voice was already ringing out.
"yes, it's not a pity that the word 'pity' is used in competitive sports."
As soon as the tongue twister came out, the guys on the bench who were listening with their ears pricked up were moved at the same time.
Wiltord played in the previous Bergkamp position, and Ljungberg's "pity" is that this guy is playing well at the moment. But it was still difficult to occupy the main position, after being refuted by the Dutch on the spot. It doesn't seem appropriate to answer.
After all, the status of the two in the locker room is very different, pointing to the other party being too arrogant, how brainless can a guy do it?
On the other hand, if you tout the star of the house, the guy who has no discipline is estimated to be able to do it. The Swedes were now standing tall behind Yumo with their banners aloft, and in the blink of an eye, they were groveling to the others, and their self-destruction was too quick.
Thinking of this, the Englishman on the bench was in the mood of watching the joke and admiring Ljungberg's next performance. I didn't expect it.
The words uttered by the guy who inserted a bar did not have the slightest intention of contradicting each other, nor did he have the slightest intention of praising the other party. "Strength", a word that decides everything in competitive sports, has become an irrefutable existence!
Hearing such an answer, the Dutch, who have always been lonely and arrogant, will probably feel sorry for each other, right?
Really.
"Not bad. I can't tell that you're not old, but you can see the problem quite thoroughly. ”
Bergkamp's answer did not come as a surprise to the English, and likewise, it sounded the alarm in the hearts of those who thought that Jumo was cutting himself off.
The recognition of the star is really rare, will it become an important weight for this guy to challenge the locker room bosses?
"You've won the prize, I'm just talking about it. Sylvain has a good talent and works hard enough, probably because his compatriots are all famous in the world, he is a little too anxious. ”
As soon as You Mo's seemingly casual words came out, all the listeners were a little stunned.
Unlike Ljungberg's on-the-spot comments, his behavior of talking about his teammates behind his back is indecent, and it will directly affect the relationship between them.
However, there will always be exceptions, such as this kind of sharp and sharp anti-ear advice, whether in person or behind the scenes, the motive will never be suspected.
"I'm a little surprised by what you said." Bergkamp nodded slightly, his expression still serious, "Sylvain should choose you, it won't do him any good to soak with the French." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Englishman inhaled cold air.
What do you mean?
Recognize this guy on behalf of the Dutch?
"The French aren't all who you say they are, Dennis."
The same cold voice came from the far end of the bench, and everyone quickly turned their eyes.
Vieira?
How can you forget this guy!
"Oh?" Bergkamp was obviously surprised, but it wasn't enough to disturb his mind. The Dutchman turned his head expressionlessly, glanced at the other man, and continued: "Maybe you're right, I'm looking forward to your next performance." ”
With that, he looked away and focused on the guy with a smile on his lips.
"And you. It's also worth looking forward to. ”
......
The FA Cup ended 3-1.
After the two teams exchanged blanks in the first half, Arsenal picked up the tempo at the start of the second half. Coventry City were clearly not mentally prepared for the sudden high-frequency pressing of their opponents, and after a series of mistakes at the back, Wiltord gave Anelka a direct chance to score with a straight shot from the middle.
There is no lack of tacit understanding between the French, and this kind of passing and running may be more commonplace than it was done before. But after many twists and turns, the meaning is no longer pure.
Breaking the deadlock at home against an opponent of this caliber means that the difficulty of the game has plummeted. That was confirmed by the final scoreline, with the latter two goals scored by Parloer and substitute Bergkamp before Coventry pulled back a comforting goal from a corner towards the end of the game.
The whole process of the game was not thrilling, and even for many England players, what happened on the bench was more worthy of attention than the score on the field.
"It's finally over." After the final whistle, Ljungberg, who had been warming up on the track, breathed a sigh of relief. I said this silently in my heart.
He really didn't expect that his casual remark would almost lead to disaster, and although he eventually saved the day, the lesson was obvious.
The locker room is both a workplace and a trench, and no word or deed can be beyond one's ability, otherwise you can only count on others to make up for it.
"Still minding that?" As if reading his thoughts, Yumo approached and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hmm." The Swedes were not pretentious and nodded in approval. "It doesn't seem to make sense to say thank you to you?"
"How so?" You Mo asked with a smile.
"The other day, when I had nothing to do, I went and collected a bunch of material on the myth of Kaiserslautern. After a night of research, this conclusion was finally reached. Ljungberg laughed too.
"Malmo have a guy named Zlatan Ibrahimovic, do you know him?" You Mo continued to ask with a smile.
"Huh? He's only 17 years old, do you know him? Ljungberg paused before continuing: "He is indeed a genius, I remember there was a report about him. It is said that he participated in a game when he was 12 years old, and when he was down 0:4, he came on in the second half, and scored 8 goals in a row to reverse it! ”
"Geniuses have some quirks, just don't leave a psychological shadow." Yu Mo nodded.
"Haha, my nerves are pretty strong. Today's events are a lesson. "Thank you for your concern, I will always remember what happened today, but I will not be biased because of it." ”
"That's good."
"By the way, is Zlatan coming to our team? Need me to get in touch? ”
"No, no. I've only heard, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and both he and you are Swedes, so I wanted to know more. ”
"Oh, I guess the boss will be interested."
"Probably so."
The two chatted and entered the dressing room, but as soon as they stepped into the room, a familiar voice sounded.
"Just in time, there are some things that I think we should talk about openly and honestly."
The two were a little surprised, and looked around, and found that there were no Englishmen in the house except for Bergkamp and Vieira.
The Dutchman, who had spoken, nodded his head at them.
"Okay, we're mentally prepared and ready to start at any time." You Mo didn't hesitate, and nodded as soon as possible.
"Very good, it's actually quite refreshing to deal with you, so I'll make a long story short."
It was Tony Adams who spoke out, with a calm expression, an unhurried voice, and no pretense of mystery like a secret meeting.
'We know the situation in the squad at the moment and I, as the representative of the English, don't want to see that continue. Therefore, MO's previous evaluation of us English people has been revealed, and it will not become a rift in the relationship between them. As for the conflict between the Frenchman and him, I hope everyone looks at it rationally and thinks and does it from the perspective of the team as much as possible. ”
Adams' voice was deep and deep, and the aftermath of the empty locker room was paused for a moment before the sound continued.
"Everyone's experiences, ideas, and perspectives are different, so don't feel stupid about other people's choices. It's true that I'm French, but I don't recognize people, and I hope you will treat me the same way. ”
Vieira said expressionlessly, and his eyes turned to the two bigwigs in the locker room.
"Okay." "Good, no problem."
Bergkamp and Adams looked at each other at the same time, and finally the Englishman spoke: "Every newcomer wants to be recognized, but at the same time they are inevitably wronged, and I hope that what happened before will not make you depressed." Dennis usually doesn't talk much, but it's a bit surprising that he took the initiative to come to me today. I don't really know what you've been talking about on the bench, but out of trust, I think we in England need to reflect on our behaviour as well. ”
The solemn atmosphere was broken by the arrival of the French.
The first one to come in was Wiltord, who had a good day, and the excitement was clearly continuing to this day in the post-match interview. Anelka and Petit followed, the former with the same expression, the latter frowning. The last to come in was Grimandi, who didn't speak, but he didn't have a good walking habit, and before he could get close to the locker room, the sound of a huge scraping of the soles of his shoes came in.
The French's freedom and casualness are comparable to those of their African brothers, and they should have been accustomed to being teammates.
Today is different.
"Gilles, the sound of slippers rubbing against the ground is not pleasant."
It was Bergkamp who spoke, and it was a room full of people who were surprised.
As a client, Grimandi looked embarrassed, wanted to defend himself but felt that he had nothing to say, and finally had to nod his head and turn his gaze to Petit.
The French gang boss was obviously a little puzzled, and cleared his throat vigorously before asking: "The atmosphere here today is not the same as before, Tony, Dennis, Patrick, is something wrong?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, I sat down with them before you came, if you're interested, you can ask me to learn more about the content." Adams took it casually, his voice calm as usual.
This sentence is so informative that it is difficult to react immediately, Petit can't do it, and the other three can't do it, so the atmosphere is a little dull.
"It seems that our arrival is a little out of place."
In the end, it was Petit who broke the silence, and the Frenchman sneered all over his face, and the corners of his mouth turned to the side, refusing to fall for a long time.
"No, it was just as dull here before you came." Adams didn't look at him squarely, his eyes turned to the window, and his voice suddenly became a little hoarse, "George is not a good man, but he left some good memories for us." I don't remember exactly what the dressing room was like, but I'm probably old and a little nostalgic. ”
"We said goodbye to alcohol and chose a more sober life, and we still remember those days when we squandered our youth. Maybe it's emptiness, for the English, face is always bigger than anything else. In the end, it was Petit who broke the silence, and the Frenchman sneered all over his face, and the corners of his mouth turned to the side, refusing to fall for a long time.
