Chapter 74: A Boy by the Sea?
"I said that I had some hands, how did I fight like this."
In the 70th minute, Sneijder assisted Van Bommel to score another long-range shot, and the final result ended in Norway 0-5 Netherlands.
After the game, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer visited the Dutch dressing room again and punched Van der Sar in the chest.
Jumping over Van der Sar's shoulder, he looked at Levi, who was sitting not far away, taking off his jersey and wearing only his underwear.
Van der Sar, the big brother in the dressing room, waved his hand to quiet the messy Dutch generals a little, and Solskjaer smiled wryly and walked in front of Levi.
"The old man had a good chat with Van Marwijk, and now that you're out on loan, I won't be meeting you."
Levi nodded, and then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer greeted the Dutch squad, many of whom are or have played in the Premier League and know each other.
"Robin, you've got that ball so beautiful! It's also very smart! ”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer smiled and exchanged a few words with Robin van Persie.
A few more words of praise for Sneijder's excellent passing vision and clever assists.
Sneijder, who originally liked to drink after the game, opened a bottle of Norwegian Oslo gin on the spot, and several people were a little drunk, and Van Persie was very happy to be praised at this time.
Levi watched coldly, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's heart was well known to passers-by.
Apparently this came with Ferguson on a mission, and he hasn't been eyeing Van Persie for a day or two, and it looks like Van Persie's performance in the second half has further caught Ferguson's attention.
As for Sneijder, he was also close to joining Manchester United after Scholes' form declined.
Soon after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure, the Dutch staff brought two children with them.
Martin Odegaard, or perhaps better known as Martin Odegaard, is not surprising to Levy.
But he was a little surprised by the small-eyed, red-faced blonde boy who followed him.
"Martin, I got Robin van Persie shirt for you, do you have anything to tell him?"
Levi walked up and touched Odegaard's head.
The little boy's face turned red at the moment, and he looked at Levi speechless.
On the sidelines, he witnessed Levi's magical performance, and he had long since forgotten what had happened when he first entered.
"Can I ask you..."
Levi's face changed, and he shook Odegaard's shoulder in time.
Van Persie, who was behind him, was in a very good mood at this time, and came over shirtless with his shirt.
'He likes Arsenal and Robin, he's happy.'
"You don't want him to be upset, do you?"
Van Persie picked up a pen and signed his name and words of wish on the shirt.
And little Haaland, who was holding the ball, was pouting in the back, a little overwhelmed.
"Do you want me to write something on it?"
Levi walked over and took the initiative to greet him, speaking in a gentle tone.
Haaland didn't speak, he raised his eyes and glanced at Levi, he was eight years old and hadn't grown yet, and his short appearance couldn't tell the appearance of a demon who was 1.94 meters old and ate everything.
"Or do you have any wishes you want to fulfill?"
Levi shook his pen and kindly induced the little boy's inner thoughts.
Haaland thought about it and acted a little shy.
"My dad... I want to be the best striker I can be, that's what I want. ”
"What's your name?"
"Erling, Erling Haaland."
Levi brushed the pen to write a line on the football.
[To one of the best strikers in the world in the future - Erling Haaland, 2008.10.15.] 】
Haaland looked at Levy's message, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
The anguish of the home team being defeated dissipated somewhat.
"But you're probably not going to be the best."
Haaland raised his head and looked at Levi with a serious face, and his face pulled down again.
"Because I'm the best, I can put you at the back of the queue as I see fit in the future."
The Dutch players laughed as they watched Levi bully the kids, and the team staff sent away the unhappy Odegaard and the even more unhappy Haaland.
Before leaving, a small blonde head poked out of the doorway.
'Vicious' said: "I will prove myself, I will join Manchester City in the future and kill you." ”
Levi grimaced playfully.
"Scared the hell out of me."
Van der Sar shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
"Fortunately, I will be retired by then."
...
After a conversation between Ferguson and Van Marwijk, it was decided to share a tactical report and data on Levi in the future.
The Dutch team returned to Amsterdam.
The national team competition has come to an end for the time being, and the two devastating victories of the Dutch team have made waves in European football.
The fastest response to this is the bookmaker.
The odds for the Dutch team to win the championship on bwin and William Hill quickly increased to 6.6 to 1, behind Brazil, Argentina and Spain.
But in fact, it's just a matter of fun, if the odds speak for themselves.
Brazil has not known about the World Cup for a long time this century.
Manchester City has already won the Champions League for the fifth time in a row, and the year when their dream really came true, Bayern had the highest odds at the beginning.
This was followed by reports from major sports media.
Manchester Evening News: "Ferguson came to Norway to watch the game, not just for Van der Sar!" Levi lives up to expectations! 》
World Sport: "Cruyff returns to Barcelona with a smile on his face and praises Levy as his heir"
The Sun: "Italian Actress Canalis and Reginaldo break up, the show bluntly says that she is interested in the new Dutch star"
The Telegraph: Volgende (Future)!! 》
...
As he said goodbye to his teammates, Van der Sar put his arm around Levy's shoulder.
He said to him earnestly: "Villarreal hard, don't let them have a good time." ”
A few days later, the Spaniards faced an enemy who was La Liga powerhouse, Villarreal, known as the "yellow submarine".
The team, led by Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini, has been extremely competitive in La Liga in recent years and has rarely dropped out of the top four.
Last season, he beat Barcelona and finished second in La Liga, driving Barcelona to the Champions League qualifiers.
The Yellow Submarines are Manchester United's Champions League group stage opponents this season, and they have struggled to score a single goal at Old Trafford.
In the end, the two teams drew 0-0.
"It would be better to humiliate their Uruguayan centre-back."
Van der Sar looked like he could trust you, and Levi didn't react for a moment who it was.
"That's the one... Godin. This guy is so tough. ”
"Huh?"
...
At the same time, Pochettino, who was promoted to the position of coach during this time, took up three new positions and began to form his own coaching team.
Oscar Perano, who was at odds with him, was sacked, and Italian assistant coach Feliciano Di Blasi and Argentine assistant coach Miguel D'Agostino were introduced, and everything else was retained.
Pochettino began by acknowledging the merits of his fellow players in both games, saying that the two hard-fought matches against Barcelona and Real Madrid were the result of the unity of everyone.
After establishing his prestige, he contacted Levi privately many times during his time in the national team, and his attitude was mild, acting like a big brother.
His purpose is clear, Levi is strong and the Spaniard has to rely on his individual abilities a lot of the time.
Levi is also a loan player, which makes it easier for him to build relationships with other players, but it also means that he won't stay long and won't have any roots in the dressing room.
At the same time, he also served as the captain of Halke's injury absence, and has a good relationship with a new player this season, as if he was a leader in the group.
Calming down Levi helped Pochettino master the dressing room.
...
"I want to help you plan a documentary."
Back in Amsterdam, Levi receives a call from Mendes.
The agent is really full of ideas to market his players, and Levi's on-field performance and flamboyant personality also give Mendes a stage to perform.
"You're still shining on the pitch right now, but I hope that this fame doesn't just come from the football field, you need to let more people know you off the pitch, which will deepen their understanding and love for you."
"Especially when I saw you interacting with children a few times, the caring character design is quite popular."
On the other end of the line, Mendes thought for a moment.
"Maybe I should arrange a few public welfare activities for you, what do you think?"
"Jorge, I'm interested in public welfare activities, but I'll choose for myself, I don't want it to be too utilitarian, you understand?"
"As for the documentary you mentioned, I don't really want people to know about my private life..."
Levi is actually not resistant to this, mainly because can those photos really be broadcast on websites under 18?
"It's okay, you don't need to let others see yourself, you just need people to know your story."
Mendez smiled.
"The story is all done by the director and screenwriter."
...
Later, in Amsterdam, Levi met the director who had made a short documentary for him.
The Dutchman enthusiastically described his plans to Levi.
"It's a story about growing up."
The Dutch bearded man with sunglasses and a golden ponytail said to Levi and motioned to his boyfriend, the screenwriter, to write the script.
"Your ancestral home is a small seaside town in China."
He tapped his finger at the script, excited about his creativity.
"And then when you were born, you lived in the port city of The Hague ... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the tragedy that happened to your parents..."
There was silence for a few seconds.
Levi nodded, and held out his hand to signal him to continue.
"Then you lived and trained in Amsterdam and found the purest joy of football."
"Then you came to Barcelona and for five years you were basking in the sea breeze and the sun until you came to Manchester."
Levi didn't understand what he meant.
"Great! What an amazing coincidence, your football career will never be without the ocean! ”
The bearded man spoke excitedly, he was also a Dutch fan.
"This gives you a calm and calm judgment, and a stormy aggressiveness!"
"That's the power of the sea."
"What do you want to say?" Levi felt a bad premonition.
"I wanted to title this documentary 'Boy by the Sea'! What do you think? ”
"Another one!"
Levi had a cold face and was categorical.
Dude is now the top scorer in La Liga, who is insulting?
