Chapter 65: I'll Score with a Header!
Totti doesn't think Don can still score with a header under the tight defence of the Roma defenders. Ten minutes later, Real Madrid's bus arrived at the stadium, and the reporters' emotions seemed to be ignited, and they desperately squeezed towards the bus.
The doors of the bus opened, and Schuster stepped down with a smile on his face, and the players descended one by one. The reporters' eyes did not look at them, but looked for Tang Jue, and they wanted to ask what Tang Jue was thinking now.
Tang Jue came out last with a sports bag, his face full of tiredness. The reporters' eyes lit up, and they surged even more!
Journalists started shouting at him for a pre-match interview. Tang Jue thought about it and felt that he should go over. The way to score with a header has not yet been thought of, which is the reason for his tired face. If you don't even dare to answer the reporter's question, doesn't that show that you are timid?
Pride did not allow him to retreat, and with a firm step, Tang Jue walked towards the emotional reporters.
"Don, Totti said, you said you were going to score with a header and it was a joke. What do you think about this? The reporter of the Marca newspaper was the first to ask questions.
Anger is useless, the way to score with a header has not yet been thought of. Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future?" ”
He said ambiguously. Admitting defeat or showing weakness is not what he has to do, but to say strongly that he has a way to score with a header is obviously a lie. So he could only answer reporters' questions ambiguously.
Time was limited, and the reporters did not have time to digest Tang's answer. A local Rome journalist asked aloud: "The media gave you an idea - use your head to take a penalty when you take a penalty. What do you think of this statement? ”
This was said by the Daily Mail, and they just wanted to laugh at Tang Jue. Journalists from the British and Madrid regions had mocking smiles in their eyes. Damn, you're killing yourself this time!
Tang Jue's brows furrowed very tightly, and the reporter's words stirred up a storm in his mind. The frown is not because others are laughing at him, but because he is savoring this sentence carefully, whether it can help him think of the possibility of scoring with a header.
The scene fell silent all at once.
The ridicule in the eyes of journalists in the UK and Catalonia is growing!
Journalists from France and the Madrid region shook their heads and sighed.
Slowly, Tang Jue's tightly knit brows soothed. The tiredness on his face slowly disappeared, as if the puzzle that was bothering his mind was solved!
The reporter's words let Tang Jue see the sun in the clouds, and the sunshine let the haze dissipate!
"Thank him for this suggestion!" Tang Jue said with a smile.
Journalists from France and Madrid, continuing to shake their heads. Penalty with your head? Oh, God. That's a joke on you. You even thanked him. Hey, but whoever it is, there is no absolute certainty that he can definitely use his header to break the opponent's goal. What's more, his header was not good in the first place.
Never mind. It's all about winning the game. Maybe he figured it out. Let's be the reason to refresh the mood.
Laugh, you can still laugh? Damn it, you're forcing a smile! British and Catalan journalists almost burst out laughing. Johansen suppressed the joy in his heart and exclaimed, "So, you found a way?" ”
He's going to rub salt in his wounds!
Tang Jue looked at Johansen and said with a smile: "That's right! ”
Journalists from the UK and Catalonia had incredible expressions on their faces, and after a moment of contemplation, they felt even more funny!
Johansen exhaled a long breath and said to Tang Jue, "Will you go to the mixed interview area after the game?" ”
Tang Jue asked rhetorically, "Are you coming back?" ”
"Of course!" Johansen affirmed.
Tang Jue nodded and said, "If you come, I'll come!" ”
……
After Tang Jue left, the reporters slowly dispersed, and they began to discuss:
"It seems that Tang is very sure, he really thought of a way?"
"Impossible! Roma's defenders would never give him a chance, and his header skills were already terrible. ”
"Judging from the expression of the ball tyrant, it seems that a solution has been found."
"The ball bully is pretending to be calm, he will never be able to do it."
"Why did the ball bully dare to come to the mixed interview area after the game?"
"I think it's because he thinks Real Madrid are going to win this game, as long as they win the game, he's going to have a different set of arguments when it comes to betting."
"But even if Real Madrid wins and he loses the bet, it won't escape our fire. It's not like his style, I think there's something wrong with this, maybe he really found a way. ”
"How? Penalty dive? God, don't be kidding! ”
"I knew it wasn't possible, but I really doubt he found it."
"You're worrying about it, let's wait until the game is over and watch his jokes!"
……
Penalty kick, head the ball in, this is the Daily Mail mocking Tang Jue. Tang Jue found a way to score with a header from this ridicule. But no one thought that Tang Jue would come up with such a strange way of scoring goals, and of course, more importantly, they didn't believe that Tang Jue could score with a header at all.
If they knew the method that Tang Jue had come up with at this time, they would be absolutely shocked and speechless.
After changing their jerseys, players from both sides came to the pitch for a pre-match warm-up. The Stadio Olimpico in Rome already had a lot of fans, a deep red, that was the color of Rome. There were not many fans who came to cheer on Real Madrid, partly because of the tickets, and partly because the match was not scheduled for the weekend.
Real Madrid is in a good mood and they will not be affected by the bet between Tang Jue and Johansen, and tonight they will have to change the embarrassing record of previous seasons and not being able to cross the first round of the knockout round.
Henry found that Tang Jue's brows were no longer tightly locked, and the dark clouds on his face had dissipated. In this way, he has figured out that the team's victory is the first place!
He patted Tang Jue's shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, I just want to be like this and be happy." Winning is the first thing, headers, it's just a lie. Don, you're a good move. Let Roma be hell-bent on curbing your header and may overlook the rest! ”
As he spoke, his eyebrows furrowed.
Tang Jue looked up at him and said, "You're wrong, I didn't play tricks, I really want to break their goal with a header." ”
Tang Jue has always considered himself an honest person, a person who counts when he speaks, and a person who keeps his promises. If you want to score with a header, you must use your header to break through the door of the Roma team.
Henry was stunned, he clearly didn't believe it. patted Tang Jue's shoulder and said, "Don't tell jokes." Your task tonight is to score with your feet, not your head! ”
Tang Jue said seriously: "I really don't lie to you, I will score with a header." ”
No matter how you look at it, Tang Jue is like a stubborn child who refuses to admit defeat. Henry no longer dwells with him on this issue. Take Sneijder's pass. Take a few steps forward with a football. It's a big shot.
……
At 7:20, players from both sides were in the locker room to listen to the manager's final tactical arrangements.
Home team dressing room.
Spalletti exclaimed: "Before the game, there were people who didn't take us seriously at all. He even made a big fuss about breaking our goal with a header! ”
"Will we promise him?"
Anger appeared in the eyes of the Roma players and they shouted: "Can't! ”
Spalletti nodded and said, "Yes, of course we can't!" ”
"So you know what to do. In addition, we had to not only contain his headers, but also compress the space outside the box and not give him space to shoot. ”
Totti nodded, and the Roma boss continued: "I know it's going to be difficult to contain him. But this is our home stadium, there are countless fans cheering us on in the stands, and there are hundreds of millions of people watching the game outside the stadium. ”
"So, we don't have any way back!"
"We have only one goal tonight, and that is to defeat them!"
……
Away team locker room.
Schuster looked at his players and exclaimed: "Tonight's knockout stage has begun, and the time to test us has really come. A lot of people didn't think about us before the game, but tonight we have to play a good game to show them that we have what it takes to beat any opponent! ”
'First of all, we have to defend well, play against them physically, remind each other. In addition, it is necessary to be fast when retreating, keep a good distance between the three lines, and compress the space. ”
After arranging the defense, he began to arrange the offensive tactics: "Our tactics tonight are to defend and counterattack, and when counterattacking, be fast!" Move the football to the front court a little earlier! Long pass! How long a pass is to hit the back! ”
Schuster glanced at Tang Jue and said, "You have to give full play to your speed advantage!" ”
Tang Jue nodded and said, "No problem!" ”
The Real Madrid coach reminded with anxiety: "Victory comes first, as for the header...... You'd better forget about betting! ”
Henry remembered what the two had said during the warm-up, and was a little worried that Tang Jue would be upset when he heard this, so he put his left hand on Tang Jue's shoulder and signaled him not to have a verbal dispute with the coach.
Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Victory comes first. ”
Schuster breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Henry. There was disappointment on Vanney's face, how he wished the two had another quarrel.
Tang really didn't want to get into a verbal altercation with the coach in the locker room, "Victory is the number one thing. There is really no mistake in this statement, and it is true everywhere and on any occasion. If you want to win, you can't let the team have a discordant voice before the game.
……
At 7:30, the starters of both sides stood in the tunnel of the players. Totti took the initiative to hug Tang Jue, played in Serie A for two seasons, and the two fought many times on the field. Totti still admires Tang Jue's performance on the field, as for the off-field......
"I won't let you get away with it!" Totti patted Tang Jue on the back and said firmly in his ear.
Tang Jue said without showing weakness: "I will definitely succeed!" ”
Totti smiled happily, nodded at Tang Jue and said, "You haven't changed at all. ”
Tang Jue shook his head and said, "You are wrong, I have changed a lot!" ”
Totti thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's changed a lot!" ”
made bold statements before the game, and Tang has not changed this. With the head coach, Tang Jue has indeed changed a lot.
Players from both sides held the caddies' hands and walked to the court, and the tsunami-like cheers came to the surface, and the game was about to begin. The players on both sides stood on the court, and the ball boy led by Tang Jue was a boy about ten years old, and after the boy hesitated for a long time, he mustered up his courage and asked loudly at Tang Jue: "Will you score with a header?" ”
Tang Jue rubbed the boy's golden hair and said with a smile, "Yes!" Diana, yes, yes! ”
Diana looked at Tang Jue in surprise, because he had never said his name, how did he know? (To be continued......)
