Chapter 170 The Premier League Years: A Star-studded Stage ([-])

"Claude, you have already decided on that matter?" Xiang Nan asked.

He knew Makelele knew what he was talking about, and it was no secret at Stamford Bridge that Makelele was leaving.The next stop for the French midfielder will be a team in Ligue [-], where he will spend the last days of his career.

"Yes, Paris Saint-Germain, it has been decided." Makelele grinned widely. He has no regrets now. He left London with a big ear cup and returned to Paris, which can be regarded as returning home.

At the elevator entrance, the little girl was hiding behind a tall bonsai, with a sly smile on her lips.

"Miss Orsini, you can't come here. It would be bad if the reporters saw it."

Uh... If it is an Italian media reporter, when they hear this surname, they will definitely guess who Miss Orsini is.

"Tommy." Miss Orsini, who was mentioned by the bodyguard, glanced at Xiangnan's side, and seeing that she had not attracted the attention of this side, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Did Mr. Walter call again?"

"Yes, butler Walter urged Miss to return to Rome. Your friend has been waiting for a long time." The bodyguard replied respectfully.

"My friend?" Orsini twitched his mouth and tilted his head, "Forget it, you call Walter back, I'm going back."

"Okay, miss."

Miss Orsini glanced at it with some reluctance, the big boy not far away stood up, his rosy cheeks were shattered, and some beads of sweat had already appeared, sliding down his beautiful neck .Because of bending over for a long time, panting, her chest swelled slightly, like an angel.

The bodyguard Tommy took a look, then immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any further.

'Go back to that life again? '

Sometimes life is so wonderful, the reason to start paying attention to a person and being obsessed with it is simply because that big boy is the first person to ignore her...

'A woman is a strange animal...', applies to little girls too...

There was no playfulness in Orsini's eyes anymore, she was as graceful as a noble lady in the Middle Ages in Europe, with a noble temperament shining in her royal blue eyes.

"You and Edro don't tell anyone about the things here!!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Tommy, let's go."

At this time, Xiang Nan had finished chatting with Makelele and was about to walk into the hotel room when he noticed the commotion here. A bodyguard in black and sunglasses followed a little girl cautiously into the elevator...

Xiang Nan didn't realize that Miss Orsini was no longer a little girl. She should be called a little girl, but he subconsciously called her a little girl. The reason for this was that Xiang Nan I didn't even notice...

It seems to be an inadvertent memory, as if it was forgotten in a certain corner at the beginning...

*******
Just as Italy was preparing for the group match against Romania, the first group qualifying team of this European Cup had already been produced.

After the second group match of Group A, Portugal defeated the Czech team 3:1, and in addition to the 2:0 victory over Turkey in the first game of the group match, Portugal locked the top spot in the group one round ahead of schedule and became the host country. It was the first team to advance to the quarter-finals in this competition. At the same time, it expanded the unbeaten record of official games (non-warm-up matches) to 13 games. It defeated the Czech team for the first time since October 1984 and won the European Cup and World Cup group stage in a record way. Stage 10 consecutive victories.

In this game, the core of Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal in this European Cup, and when interviewed after the game, the Portuguese once again became the focus of the media.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't hesitate when asked who he would most like to face in the final -
"Italy!! I hope to meet Italy in the final, sometimes, you can't lose to one person twice in one month..."

Can't lose to whom?

The answer is self-evident, in the Italian national team, now, Xiang Nan should be the Portuguese, the one who hates the most.

In the post-match press conference, he was angrily scolded by Portuguese coach Scolari as "like a Guatemalan vegetable market!" ! '

Everything is because of the romantic love history of his favorite disciple Cristiano Ronaldo.

Uncle Zhao Benshan in China said a word——
"Behind every successful man, there is a troublesome woman..."

Uh... Actually, this sentence should be, "Behind every successful bad man, there are a group of sexy female wolves..."

From the Brazilian star Jadel's sister Jordana to the "big sister lover" Portugal's famous beauty host Romero, and then to Jemma Atkinson who completely hooked up with Cristiano Ronaldo and quickly became popular...

Uh...Cristiano Ronaldo, with his name and feats, declared war on Cassano, who boasted in his autobiography that he had a sexual history of 500 women...

Now, in the stands of the European Cup, the Portuguese lover has become the Spanish 'Water Fairy' Nereida...

In this regard, when Cristiano was asked this question——
"My requirements for my girlfriend are very simple, the first is to be sexy, the second is to be beautiful, the third is to be generous, and the fourth is to know how to enjoy some trendy things..."

God testifies, the Portuguese are not picky at all about their girlfriend's requirements...

"For example?"

"For example?" The Portuguese thought for a while—
"For example, I personally like, 'mile-high - CLUP'…"

At the press conference, Scolari was already suppressing his dissatisfaction. As soon as the press conference was over, some 'OUT' Brazilian coaches learned from his friend's hesitant mouth, what is meant by 'mile- high——CLUP'———
Uh... this, the so-called 'mile-high - CLUP', is a popular game among some deviant stars and celebrities, which means... on a high-flying plane, having sex-love...sports....
Uh.... One more thing, when I heard this news, Xiang Nan's first thought was that Cristiano Ronaldo must have quite well-developed waist and abdominal muscles. Why?
Enen, I heard that at high altitude, it requires certain skills...

*******
In another match in Group A, the Swiss lost to Turkey 1:2. After two consecutive defeats, the Swiss also became the host who was eliminated in one of the few groups in the history of the European Cup.

After the second match of the Group B group stage, the English who were still depressed about being eliminated from this European Cup should have a reason to comfort themselves. The Croatian who eliminated England won a clean victory 2:1 killed the mortal enemy of the English, Germany. The Croatian, who has won two consecutive victories, has proved with his own actions that it is definitely not an accident to be able to eliminate the proud England John Bull. .

It is conceivable that the Croatian team unexpectedly defeated the German team 2-1, but the most complicated mood should be a third party: the England team.

After all, in the current European Cup qualifiers, it was precisely because of Croatia's two wins against England that Rooney, Gerrard and other superstars missed the European Cup feast.

And now, Croatia's victory can give the English a good self-comfort, "Look, I'm not the only team that can handle Croatia!".

What's more, the famous grievances between England and German football made the English "painful and happy wry smile"...

The Sun newspaper, which disliked each other with Xiang Nan, had a black and bold headline on the front page after the game:
"CRO MY GOD (God, Croatia)"! ! !
After digging at the Germans who could lose to Croatia in the European Cup, the Englishman who was eliminated by the Croatians outside the European Cup, another lament is——
"Damn, think about the damn Croatia, we have to face them again in the World Cup qualifier!"

The players of the Italian national team silently watched all that happened in other arenas, and the silence of the news continued. Now everyone's energy and eyes are focused on the upcoming match against Romania.

The Romanian captain, Chivu who played for Inter Milan, said in an interview with the French "L'Equipe" that Romania is not afraid of Italy——
"Italy is the world champion, but that is in the past, we respect Italy, but we are not afraid..."

"Yes, I play in Italy, I have my own understanding of Italy, we have our own characteristics, to deal with Italy..."

Chivu's teammate, Fiorentina's striker, also stood up to support his captain.

In this regard, within the Italian national team, there was silence...

Instead of breaking out in silence, just go home in despair...

*******
On June 2008, 6, in the evening, the players of the Italian national team who had finished training were chatting in the lobby on the second floor of the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel. Tomorrow is the game, and Donadoni also wants his own Players relax.

"Hey guys, should we thank the Romanians?"

Cassano was nourished by Mary, the switchboard lady of the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel, and he was excited when he learned that he was starting.

Looking at Xiangnan and Gattuso who looked at him with a puzzled face——
"Because of the Romanians, as long as we win against them, Elena Santarelli will be in Bali..."

"Beautiful Bali..."

At this time, Xiang Nan took a pityful look at Miss Mary who was looking at Cassano affectionately. Obviously, this Swiss beauty with big breasts had been forgotten by the bad guy Barry...
man...

Uh...it should be, bad man...

*******
"When we needed victory, the Romanians stood up bravely." Xiang Nan hummed with a smile.

"That's right, when we needed women, the Romanians gave us a chance!!" Panucci raised his right arm.

"Yeah, God, the Romanians are so good, for our three points and women, the next game must be won," Cassano concluded.

Uh... I have to say, the stars of the Italian national team are really 'drinking water and remembering the well digger...'

As God bears witness, I don't know if the Romanians would go crazy if they knew about this boring chat in the lobby of the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY hotel...

However, Donadoni suddenly discovered that his players were very energetic, it could be said that they were——
The dragon and the tiger are fierce...

*******
June 2008, 6, Zurich, Switzerland, early in the morning.

I got up very early in the south, after washing up, standing at the window, I can see the shadow of windsurfing on the Lima River, the weather is very good, the cool wind, the rising sun, a beautiful day.

Great day to play against Romania! !
When I came to the lobby of the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel, I saw that Ambrosini was already there. Although he was not included in the starting lineup, AC Milan did not relax his requirements.

"Morning, Massimo."

"Morning, Andre, are you ready?"

"I'm full of energy now!!" Xiang Nan raised his right arm.

"Okay, Andre." De Rossi's voice came from behind Xiangnan, "If you want to score a goal, give Chivu some color."

At the beginning, Chivu, the captain of the Romanian national team, moved to Rome's rival Inter Milan. This caused quite a stir in the dressing room of Rome. The relationship between Waugh and the Roma players has plummeted.

In addition, Chivu's sarcasm for the Italian team has made the Italian big names who have been silent have taken a big breath.

Gradually, the players gathered. After breakfast, everyone gathered in the lobby of the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel. The staff was busy transporting the players' equipment to the waiting bus outside. .

Zebra Prince, Del Piero has a serious expression on his face. This may be the last international competition for the former Italian golden boy, which also makes Del Piero cherish today's starting opportunity. Although, Piero's The position on the field is the front midfielder that he is not very familiar with...

Xiang Nan and Cassano were talking in a low voice. Today's game's striker partner needs a little more tacit understanding.

The elevator door opened, and Donadoni and his coaching staff walked out. Donadoni took a look at the players who were already waiting. Obviously, the Italian national team coach was very satisfied with the mental state of the players.

"Boys, there is a good weather today, so, what are you waiting for, let's go!!!"

"Go!!" Buffon raised his right arm and was the first to walk out of the gate of the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel.

"Let's go!!" Everyone roared and filed towards the thick glass revolving door of the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel.

*******
A large number of Italian fans have gathered outside the FLIOEER-ATAT-PATTY Hotel. These are fans who have not bought tickets. This match against Romania is very important to Italy. Even if it is just a draw, it will be enough to World champion Italy sent back home.

The Italian team's bus drove out of the hotel parking lot, and the Italian fans waiting outside became excited, shouting the names of every player and waving Italian flags.

Gattuso and De Rossi stuck their heads out of the car window and shook their fists at the fans, who were met with wild screams.

Xiang Nan was wearing earphones, looking out of the window silently, looking at the touch of blue outside the window, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, yes, Xiang Nan is now a player of the Italian national team and a star that fans are crazy about, but , as a Chinese floating overseas, like that rootless duckweed, lacking the sense of belonging from the bottom of my heart.

Perhaps, only at the moment when you step on the Zurich Rötzgrund Stadium and your feet touch the black and white elf, will your soul find its belonging, its own territory! !

*******
Although Zurich Rötzgrund Stadium is a first-class modern stadium, it can only accommodate about 30000 fans. Cheering for his team on the big screen that was just erected.

The bus is getting closer and closer to Zurich's Rötzgrund Stadium, and there are more and more fans. Crazy Italian fans, shouting various slogans, welcome their fighters.

The bus of the Romanian team has just passed by, and now, the Romanian fans have all their energy to deal with the bus of the Italian national team coming from afar.

A Romanian fan, wearing a Romanian flag, rushed onto the road of the Italian bus, made a 4:0 gesture, and shouted insults...

The Swiss police officers, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed forward, and before the Italian fans went crazy, they grabbed the kind Romanian to the police car, honked their horns and went away...

With the horns of three police cars clearing the way, the Italian team's bus started to speed up and drove quickly to the underground parking lot of Zurich's Rötzgrund Stadium. There is an elevator here, which leads to the locker room of the Rötzgrund Stadium.

Everyone filed out of the bus, went to the trunk, took their backpacks, no one spoke, and walked towards the elevator entrance...

Xiang Nan also felt short of breath for a while. This is his first start in the European Cup, and it may even be the last time...

The deafening sound from the Roedsgrund Stadium rang in Xiang Nan's ears, striding forward...

A star-studded stage needs a star-studded star.
