The most low-key superstar

Chapter 330 A Bitter Smile

The thing that Paul arranged for Nicole was the one thing that Nicole disliked the most. To put it bluntly, it was a kind of overall image promotion for Nicole.

"If you want to promote, then we must first package you, don't refute, Yang has already agreed, if you object, please contact Yang." Paul said triumphantly, with Shang Fang's sword in his hand.

But Nichol didn't seem to agree, "Yang Mi didn't tell me, and I didn't agree, I don't want to live like that, Paul, you know that."

"That's right, I know, but, Yang thinks, you have to think about the future, besides, your life is different from what you imagined now, so, Nicole, stop worrying, you have to go back to this world , I will do my best to make you comfortable."

Nicole was silent, he knew what was going on, the discussion about the future with Yang Mi last time was the trigger, obviously, Paul and the others had already arranged a lot of things with Yang Mi.

"What to do next?"

"Okay, Nicole, we've signed with an image agency, and all we have to do is start with their plan."

After arriving at the signing company, Nicole realized that he had misunderstood it. It was not to teach Nicole how to dress, nor to design his hairstyle, but to design how to use various activities to slowly improve his healthy image. promoted to the people of the world.

In the internationally renowned Meta image design company, its staff members have a signed photo of Nikkor in front of their computers, and a line of advertising words "We will try our best to complete it together" is printed below the photo. Enrique, the company's president, said, "This ad was actually designed for Nicole, and we have undertaken the image promotion business of many stars."

According to the arrangement of the image design company, Nicole participated in a children's theme activity, and the company's only requirement for Nicole was to keep smiling throughout the activity.

For this seemingly simple request, Nicole had a headache. It was not easy, because there was a big-name star attending the event with Nicole, but Nicole did not know him, but this old man seemed to be Not well versed in this.

At the beginning of the activity, he could still maintain a charming smile, but after a long time, the man behind him soon got tired of making noise to the children, and was always answering the phone, constantly asking how much time was left.

Nicole, on the other hand, kept smiling and patiently communicated with the children during the more than three hours of activities.After more than three hours of activities in the morning, it was impossible for Nicole not to feel tired and frustrated by the endless requests for group photos in front of him, but he persevered and did not hold back his smile for a minute.

"Great!" Paul gave Nicole a thumbs up from the audience.

But instead of giving Paul the smile, Nicole turned his face away and resumed his numb smile.

On the way home, Nicole kept his eyes closed for God’s sake. He could feel his facial muscles twitching all the time. Although Paul kept trying to persuade Nicole, seeing that Nicole was really exhausted, he didn’t say anything. .

After returning home, Yang Mi had already prepared a large table of delicious food, and she kept smiling all the time. Obviously, she knew that what she did was relatively dishonest, and she plotted against her husband with outsiders.

Nicole has actually been connected for a long time, but he is not happy with Yang Mi and Paul's cutting first and playing later.

In the next few days, Nicole attended three more activities in a row, most of which were public welfare activities, and each time there was a large number of media follow-up reports, and Nicole was willing to go all out, completely following the requirements, his Pretty much the same level of seriousness as on the field.

Nickel has frequently appeared in front of the camera these days, which surprised many people.This is very different from Nickell's complete disappearance from off the court in the past.

Similarly, Nicole's healthy and sunny image has gradually left an impression on people. In their minds, Nicole is no longer a football star, but a responsible person with flesh and blood.

Nicole is busy cooperating with the management team's image change plan, and England's World Cup qualifiers have also begun.

The situation in this group is basically clear before this round. England has already qualified, while Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra have already been eliminated. The only suspense is that Croatia and Ukraine will compete for second place in the group to qualify for a play-off. An away game, also Ukraine's last game at home.

The two teams have faced each other 3 times before, and the Three Lions have maintained a record of victory.In this campaign, Capello is still debugging the new lineup and testing new players. Rooney and Husky partnered on the striker line. Not only was Nickle not selected, but even Beckham was not able to enter the squad.For Ukraine, Shevchenko started and Milevski formed a double forward.

After the start of the game, the two sides have been attacking and defending each other. However, it is obvious that the Ukrainian side is more determined, while the Englishman seems a little careless, which is more consistent with some rumors before the game.

Before the game, some Croatian media revealed that England might deliberately lose in order to get the Croatian team out in order to avenge the European Championship. Able to maintain a fair play attitude.

To this end, Capello also held a special press conference to refute this statement, "This is an absurd statement, an insult to England, an insult to Ukraine, and an insult to Croatia."

Capello expressed his determination to play seriously, but in the 13th minute of the game, Ferdinand took the top off his defense and made a low-level error. With a slight pull on Milevski, he still allowed his opponent to break into the penalty area. The goalkeeper Green's attack failed to catch the ball, but threw Milevski down. The referee Skominer whistled for a penalty kick and directly drew out a red card to expel Green. Capello had to 'sacrifice' Lennon to send James play.

But Shevchenko, who took the penalty kick, took the right foot and hit the lower right corner of the goal. Unfortunately, the ball hit the outside of the post and bounced out of the baseline.Excited Ukrainian fans then used fireworks to 'attack' goalkeeper James again. The referee immediately reported and communicated with the fourth official. After the efforts of the field organizers and the police, the game was interrupted for 5 minutes and restarted.

The English formation with one less player was forced to change to 441. Rooney retreated to the midfield, and Husky was at the forefront alone. The Three Lions became more and more passive in the subsequent games.

In the 29th minute, Ashley Cole's backcourt was tackled. Although Glenn Johnson made a tackle to block the front of the penalty area, the ball fell right at the feet of Nazarenko. Nazarenko was 20 yards away With a strong shot, the eager Ashley Cole made up for it, but it didn't help. The poor header from the center made the ball change the line, shake James and go straight to the left corner of the goal.

In the end, with this goal, the Ukrainian team sitting at home in the Dnipro Arena defeated the 1-man England team 0-10, ending the Three Lions' perfect record of winning 8 games in this world preliminaries. In the first round, the score reached 18 points and surpassed Croatia by one point to rise to the second place in the group, thus gaining the initiative to compete for the qualification for the play-offs. The England team suffered the first defeat in nearly 8 official games.

It is an anecdote in the history of English football that the losing England team did not attract the scolding of England fans after the game.

"This has nothing to do with morality. No team can guarantee victory. Moreover, our opponent is not a weak team." Nickel defended the rumors that his teammates lost deliberately in an interview with reporters.

The 2010 South Africa World Cup European qualifiers entered the final round of competition.

The only suspense left in this group is the qualification for the play-offs. The Ukrainian team, which scored a key three points from England, which has already qualified, has firmly grasped the initiative. Andorra, a big team, can beat Croatia to lock in the second place in the group.

There is no competitive pressure for England in this game, but because of the "accidental" loss to Ukraine in the last round, and this game is the last battle of the Three Lions in this world preliminaries and they are at home again, so England naturally wants to use a A victory marked the perfect end to this qualifier.

However, some players were still injured in the last game. Capello had to make major adjustments to the lineup and called Nickel, hoping that Nickell would be ready and that he might be recruited at any time. , Paul stopped torturing Nicole.

At the same time, for this possibility, Nicole quickly resumed training. He didn't want his state to decline due to lack of training, making people think that he was not doing his job properly.

Wayne Rooney, who suffered a calf injury, and Gerrard, who felt unwell in his groin, have returned to their respective clubs. James, who missed Tuesday's training, was also excluded from the squad. Capello also made as many as five adjustments on the three lines. Abanglaho, who had only appeared in two warm-up matches, made his debut in an official game and partnered with Crouch on the front line.

In this game, England, which sits at the new Wembley Stadium at home, firmly took the initiative in the scene, allowing the director time to send the camera to the stands. Nickell, Owen, Walcott and others all appeared in the stands in casual clothes.

England fans dressed up the new Wembley Stadium in a very festive manner. Like a festival, they always cheered for the team with high singing and celebrated the team's smooth qualifying.

Crouch scored twice and Wright-Phillips scored a goal. The 3-0 victory over Belarus perfectly ended the world preliminaries. Beckham, who came off the bench, completed an assist 2 minutes after he came on, and there was another one after that. Foot shot hits the post.In addition, as Ukraine swept Andorra 6-0 and finished perfectly, the 1998 World Cup runner-up in France, Croatia, was finally eliminated and missed the finals for the first time in nearly four World Cups, while Ukraine qualified for the play-offs.
