KC19 [2nd Update]
-------------------------------------
The next day, the headlines of major publications, in addition to reporting Portugal's big win in the opening game, were mentioning the performance of Portugal's rising star Cristiano Ronaldo that day-
"Portugal's golden boy tears on the pitch, emotional out-of-control"
"The Other Side Revealed After Scoring a Goal: Arrogant and Reckless"
"The Portuguese rising star bluntly said that he didn't cry after the game, and refused to be interviewed in annoyance"
A few days after the new event, when everyone was training at the training ground of the European Championship organisers, Cristiano's teammates saw the glaring headlines and looked at their younger teammates at the center of the storm with some headaches.
Truth be told, if it hadn't been for the hasty departure at the end of the interview, Cristiano would have gone almost flawed with yesterday's post-interview.
But as a well-known star, Cristiano has both beautiful foot work, eye-catching goals, not to mention a beautiful face that is regrettable if he does not enter the entertainment industry - such a person is both a darling of the media and an outcast of the media.
The media are like bloodsuckers who never know how to be full, lying on the boys, as in the previous life, from the princes of Old Trafford to the kings of the Bernabeu, who were fed fat heads and big ears and made a lot of money.
To the surprise of Figo, he was at the center of the eye of the storm, Cristiano Ronaldo, who seemed to be a nobody.
He came on the pitch in his training jersey and got a good night's sleep to make him look refreshed.
He lifted his pants closest to the base of his thighs, revealing his smooth, muscular white thighs, as if he was about to sunbathe in Portugal.
Cristiano even happily bared his big white teeth at his teammates on the field and grinned: "I'm here!" What are you practicing? ”
Figo: "......"
He and a few teammates quickly exchanged a tacit look in private-
- He doesn't seem to know the reports yet.
- Don't stand up in front of him.
- Put those things away.
-Roger that.
"Come here, Cristiano." Rui Costa beckons to his teammate.
Cristiano trotted over and raised a brow — he remembered that Rui Costa had taught him not to play too fancy and to be more simple — but he thought he should be pretty good this time.
Rui Costa said: "Scolari has a new arrangement for you, let's practice new tactics. ”
Cristiano was surprised, but quickly accepted it: "No problem. ”
Everyone practiced on the court for a whole day, and was even pulled by Cristiano for two hours in the evening.
But in order to make the boy have no energy to read those newspaper reports and affect his mood, a group of big brothers gritted their teeth and fought.
Just as they were finally able to go back to the hotel to rest, Scolari called out to them, "You've been training for a long time? Not bad, maintain such combat effectiveness, but don't get too tired. ”
"Also, Cristiano, don't pay attention to those tabloid news, it's all, no one will believe it." Scolari looked at Cristiano again, and he slapped Chris's shoulder twice, which was not yet strong, and said in encouragement.
He did have a slight preference for Chris, perhaps because his own sons were a few years older than Cristiano, and boys were like his own little sons in his eyes.
As soon as Scolari's words came out, a group of people behind Cristiano gasped in unison and let out another lament, which shocked both Scolari and Cristiano at the same time: "What's wrong?" ”
"He didn't even know about it." Rui Costa rolled his eyes, "Got it now." ”
"We've managed to hide it until now." Goalkeeper Ricardo sighed.
And Figo, their captain also looked at their manager with a helpless look, and Scolari felt that he had messed up something.
Scolari: "......" Please! Cristiano is not a Barbie doll! Does it need to be like this?!
But he did feel a slight uneasiness of conscience about this, and he opened his mouth to comfort something.
Cristiano pulled the corners of his mouth open and laughed heartlessly: "Oh, you mean the big headlines that say I? What a bad temper or something? ”
"You saw that?!" Figo was surprised.
"Of course." Cristiano nodded, "It's not that my phone can't access the Internet, and those apps will push these to me when I get up in the morning." ”
Figo: "......"
"You don't look like you've been affected in any way." Deco looked at the boy suspiciously, stating a fact.
Cristiano laughed, and suddenly understood the reason why his teammates were so enthusiastic to train with him today.
God knows that he has experienced a worse verbal and written attack than this, and now it is just this "flaw" in his character, which is nothing at all.
The world can't tell what the real Cristiano Ronaldo is from the media, but they can tell everything from his ball.
He looked at his teammates, the smile on his face softer and softer – which made him look younger than his age – and he shrugged: "It doesn't matter what my personality is, it's you who play with me, and you know what kind of person I am." ”
Figo and the others looked at Cristiano in surprise, and to be honest, judging by the momentum of the boy's crying like a fountain yesterday, they all thought that if Cristiano knew about the fabricated and slanderous reports today, he would definitely have to cry.
"You have a big heart
Cristiano. Scolari looked at the boy appreciatively and with some surprise, "This will help you go far." ”
"Yes, I know." Cristiano curled his lips and smiled.
He walked up to his teammates and gave everyone a big hug and handshake: "Thank you, but can you continue training tomorrow?" ”
He knew that today's additional training was most likely to be mistaken for the sake of becoming "little pitiful".
He blinked, with a hint of pleading, and looked at his captain first.
Figo: "...... Of course, there's nothing wrong with extra training. ”
God, he couldn't refuse Cristiano staring at him like that!
In fact, no one can refuse, absolutely no one. Figo thought viciously to himself.
As the group walked in the direction of the hotel, Carvalho teased Cristiano: "But seriously, you have to control your performance in front of the media, otherwise those guys will eat you sooner or later." ”
Cristiano pouted and spread his hands: "If they don't like you, no matter how perfect you are, you can find mistakes." ”
"If I'm valuable, my controversial points make them money, and even if I don't do anything wrong, they'll make up some mistakes." Cristiano looked at Carvalho, a team-mate he had played with at Real Madrid for a while, and smiled nonchalantly, "It's true, but I don't mind, it shows that I'm really good at football." ”
Carvalho blinked a few times, surprised that such words had come from the mouth of a nineteen-year-old child, and he froze in place until he was dragged by Deco.
"Good guy, you really look like you've become some kind of football superstar." Carvalho laughed.
Cristiano raised his eyebrows: "Sooner or later." ”
"Tsk!" Carvalho couldn't help but reach out and pinch the boy's still baby fat face, which was really unpleasantly underwhelming, but Cristiano had indeed shown his talent, and he was still very young.
Everyone knows that this is going to be another world-class, epic superstar of the future.
- However, when this point is provoked by myself, it seems too arrogant.
"I know I'm good, why can't I say it? Like I know I'm good-looking, should I pretend to be modest? Cristiano rubbed his face and muttered.
"You won." Carvalho rolled his eyes.
Figo looked at the bickering between Carvalho and his little teammate, and he couldn't help but join in, rubbing Cristiano's soft curls that felt very good: "I'm glad you're from our Portuguese team, otherwise I'd have scolded you." ”
"No, you love me." Cristiano bared his teeth and laughed, convinced of Figo.
Figo shook his head helplessly, not knowing where the young player in front of him was sure of himself, didn't he waver in the slightest, didn't he feel that there was an awkward overlap between the positions between them? Isn't he worried about his own bad intentions?
But Figo had to admit that he was indeed attracted to Cristiano, and this attraction came from the chemistry between the players, not about love, but about sympathy.
If he is ten years younger and can be team-mates of the same era as Cristiano, he believes they can achieve more glory for Portugal.
Figo looked at Cristiano and thought thoughtfully that perhaps the next captain to carry Portugal forward was ready to take the armband of glory from him.
For the rest of the year, apart from the games, they spent most of their time on the training ground, or in rented rooms in the hotel to review the last few rounds of the competition.
Cristiano's keen desire to watch Greece play baffled Scolari, who were indeed a recognised underdog, and their performance in the opening game confirmed that.
'They didn't really play well in the first two games, but in the last four they won all the games and didn't concede a single ball. Cristiano looked at Scolari, "Also."
With two games left, let's see how they far. ”
He knew Scolari was thinking, and he didn't say much.
Scolari is undeniably a world leader and will know what to do best.
Figo looked at Cristiano with some curiosity: "You mean, do you think Greece can make it to the final?" ”
Deco laughed, his tone full of disbelief and teasing: "Wow, that's really a dark horse." ”
If you want him to say that Greece has been able to get to this point, it is already very lucky.
Cristiano looked at each other, he didn't say anything, the fact is that Greece entered the final and became the brightest dark horse, while Portugal, the favorite to win the championship, could only be relegated to be the runner-up in the previous life.
No one in the football world remembers the runners-up and runners-up, they have only one goal, which is to win the championship.
Scolari was silent for a while before he spoke: "The head coach of Greece is Reghar, that guy is really ...... Single-handedly created the myth of Kaiserslautern. Greece's style of play has changed a lot since the third game, and it is not impossible to reach the final. ”
When German Reghar was in charge of the German team, he single-handedly brought the Bundesliga into the Bundesliga and won the Bundesliga title the following year.
This is nothing short of a legend, and it proves that this famous coach does have the ability to make people fear.
Cristiano knows their boss is ready to take on the game.
They followed Greece's next two games closely and even got to the scene.
Two wins in a row without conceding a single goal.
This time, even Deco, who had been teasing before, had a serious face on his face, and said in a deep voice: "They are indeed a dark horse that should not be underestimated." ”
Cristiano stood up, he exhaled deeply, looked at the Greek team celebrating on the field, and turned to leave: "Then see you at the Stadium of Light." ”!
