Volume 1 The Gamer in Portugal Chapter 145 Real Men
At Hilton's request, the post-match press conference was cancelled.
After thanking Hilton again, King returned to the locker room.
As soon as he walked in, Mark Paul rushed over.
They hugged tightly, all on each other's faces, and saw the pain of the rest of their lives.
Simon King greeted the players one by one, then stood in front of the tactical blackboard and choked up for a post-match speech.
"Jose Mourinho once said: It has long been destined that I can only pick flowers among the thorns, but the important thing is to be persistent in victory and faith."
"As a small team, a team that only deserves relegation in the eyes of the world, our road ahead will be full of dangers and uncertainties like today's game."
"But I, Simon King, have nothing to fear, because my team has the quality to compete for the title. Because you are a team that can still maintain focus and self-confidence in the face of inevitable losses. β
Listening to his words, the players felt the same way.
In other words, as the protagonists on the field, they know everything that just happened better than anyone else.
But Simon King also said: "Porto are the league champions, and any one of them may be worth more than our whole team!" β
"But so what? In the whole first half, we didn't give the opponent the slightest chance, and their every move was completely controlled by us! β
"So I can say with a fair share that if it weren't for Mendes, we would have won this fight. So, if anyone still doubts themselves, then all I can say is that you don't deserve to be in Vixna! β
Applause!
Thunderous applause.
While the players gave their applause to Simon King, they were actually dedicating themselves to it.
Simon King continued: "There is an old saying in the Celestial Empire, which is called 'Princes and generals, rather have a kind?' And we in Portugal also have a proverb that says, 'In the vast sea, no one is destined to be a sailor'. β
"Therefore, I want you to be with your family tomorrow, and then from the day after tomorrow, we will give everything for the victory over Lisbon!"
"Give it all!"
The players looked resolute and enthusiastic, and this celebration, which should have been the aftermath of the catastrophe, suddenly turned into a pledge before the expedition.
The film crew, who had been following the team, recorded this scene with their camera.
While they admired these little people, they were also amazed by Simon King's ability to control the locker room.
"Kim, the competition is over, and our shooting will come to an end. But let me tell you, I've learned a lot from all this time with you. β
Hearing that the film crew was leaving, some of the team members who were very familiar with each other seemed a little reluctant.
But there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and the day of separation will come sooner or later.
Simon Kim put his arm around the shoulders of those players, looked at director Xenak and said: "Your filming has made those of us who have never seen the world accustomed to cameras and media, I want to represent the team, thank you." β
β¦β¦
Back in Vizela, Simon King waved goodbye to the team.
At this time, outside the empty Vizela Stadium, only he and Fencera were still walking on the trail full of sycamores.
Recalling the scene when he was about to kneel, Simon King was so scared.
So she stared at Fence's beautiful face and asked in a low voice, "Fence, I almost knelt down for him at that time, am I a Confucian husband?" β
Fen La shook her head, her eyes full of pity, and she stretched out her slender fingers and pressed them lightly on Simon King's lips.
"A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and face up to the blood. Not to mention that you didn't kneel down in the end, even if you really knelt down at that time, in my heart, it was also a mature man, a real man, would do it! β
"But ......," Simon King grabbed her weak, boneless hand and pressed it gently to her heart.
"What's the ......" Fence La said softly: "A man who is willing to give up his self-esteem for his dreams and the team is a real man, and he is also my ......"
At that, her face flushed.
Simon King couldn't say anything more, and he didn't have to.
He only knew that he could no longer live without her in this life.
Moonlight and starry.
Breeze and insects chirping.
Two long shadows, under the witness of the seventh plane tree on the side of the street, approached closer and closer......
Suddenly, behind the bushes, a flashlight shot out inexplicably.
The light shattered the silence of the moment, and the inquiry forced back the lips that were about to meet.
"Who's here? This is the garden of the Vizela Stadium, so please leave if you have nothing to do with it. β
Fencera turned her head away in embarrassment, and said shyly, "Grandpa Klin, it's me." β
"Huh? It's the eldest lady, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. β
As the voice of the visitor became clearer, an old man with gray hair, about seventy years old, walked out after hitting a tree.
Simon King was a little embarrassed and could only laugh and say, "Hello Klin, are you on night patrol?" β
Klin, the team's goalkeeper, also grew up watching the fence.
So when he saw the faces of the two of them, he immediately knew that he was in trouble.
"Ah...... This one...... Well, I ...... Actually, I'm blind. β
As he spoke, Clint slipped backwards from the tree as if he was fine.
Tickled by him, she finally took Simon King's hand and walked outside to the parking lot.
β¦β¦
The two of them went home separately, but said that they were in a high-end villa in Porto.
ConceiΓ§Γ£o was sitting honestly like a grandson.
"Give me an explanation." Edward stroked Fanny's leg as he tried to knead somewhere in her high bulge.
ConceiΓ§Γ£o was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Edward, this is just an accident. β
"Accidents? I've given you first-hand information, I've got a bounty, and even the referee seems to be helping you...... And you told me it was an accident? β
"Yes sir. It's all Simon King, he's so despicable and shameless! β
Fanny's face flushed a little from the restlessness in Edward's hands, but she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she heard the other party insult Simon King.
"Smack!"
Edward slapped her directly on the chin and snapped, "What's the matter?" Are you still thinking about him? β
"No, it's not, I don't."
"None? Then tell me, why did your intelligence come back with such a result! β
"This ...... This...... I don't know, I secretly recorded the recording, and I can swear he doesn't know. β
Seeing her handsome appearance, Edward regretted it a little, so he immediately coaxed her a few more words.
"Okay, okay, I'm so angry, so be it...... Tomorrow I will take you to Paris and buy you a big diamond ring. β
"Well, good. Let's talk, I'll take a shower first. β
