There is a dream called football

Chapter 83 Christmas ([-])

The Gaya training base is full of festive atmosphere, Christmas is the most important festival of the year in Europe.

There is a saying in China that if you have money or not, go home to celebrate the New Year. In fact, it is the same everywhere. No matter how the year goes, when Christmas comes, everyone will celebrate the holiday happily.

On the morning of December 12, the players came to the multi-purpose hall of the training center, and the boss was coming that day.

It was agreed that the meeting would be held at 10:[-] in the morning, but Pinto and Mourinho did not show up for a long time. Suddenly, two people came in at the door, both dressed as Santa Claus, and the scene laughed out loud.

The two of them are Pinto and Mourinho. The two took out some small gifts from the socks and distributed them to the players.

In Europe, giving holiday gifts is really a matter of heart, ranging from a pair of gloves to a large electrical appliance, but few people give money directly. This is because of different cultures, and sending cards is the choice of most people.

What Li Qiao received was a card, a blessing written by Mourinho himself.

After distributing the presents, Pinto walked to the center of the hall. He was chubby and looked like Santa Claus. He wished everyone a Merry Christmas in Portuguese and English.

"Everyone should have received the presents. If you haven't got them, you can ask Jose for them."

"Haha."

"Don't worry, I won't stay for too long. I know it's annoying. Players don't like to see their bosses, unless it's time for a raise."

Another burst of cheerful laughter.

"We are now the best club in Portugal. Our operating income this year is higher than last year. Of course, I think next year will be better. All this is thanks to you, my dear boy, and your boss Jose."

applause.

"Christmas in Portugal always feels like something is missing. I like Christmas with a lot of snow, so I have already booked a ticket to Norway. Goodbye children, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, Jorge!"

Pinto is a "profiteer" and a good boss. Good bosses in European clubs all have one characteristic - management of financial power, but no matter the specific things, the specific things must be delegated to the head coach.

After Pinto left, the field belonged to Mourinho.

Mourinho smiled and said, "What are you still doing, open the champagne for me, let's drink and chat."

Maniche and Ferreira immediately opened two bottles of champagne, and Maniche was very witty to pour wine for his teammates.

"Don't be afraid to get drunk today, I'll find someone to take you home."

Having said that, most people will still maintain restraint. After all, night is Christmas Eve, similar to Chinese New Year's Eve.

The glass in front of Li Qiao was filled with a large glass of champagne. The teammates were happy and drank together. Maniche patted Li Qiao and took out a bottle of something from his arms.

"What's this?"

"Vodka."

Then he glanced at Mourinho and said with a smirk: "I added half to Jose."

Champagne is 5% alcohol, while vodka is 40%. This big glass is for you...

Mourinho was also happy. He never thought of it at all. He just thought that the champagne was a bit exciting, and it might be of better quality.

Maniche smiled and said, "I'm done drinking, I'll add another glass for him."

After three glasses, Mourinho got drunk and started talking about his romantic affairs when he was young.

"I tell you, when I was in Barcelona, ​​the girls there..."

"Once I went on two dates in one day."

……

Everyone was having fun, starting to fight against Mourinho, Li Qiao felt like he was going to die, we still have to meet next year, okay, aren't you afraid of death then?
Fortunately, there is also a conscience among the players, that is Carvalho, the Portuguese defender who followed Mourinho wherever he went, supported Mourinho and handed him a glass of water.

Li Qiao patted Maniche, "If something happens, don't think I'll hide anything for you."

sweat.

"We're good friends."

"Hehe, I still want to play in the team, and I don't want to be sent back to the B team by the coach."

Maniche smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will know if I don't tell you."

"Will it?" Li Qiao expressed doubts.

For the Christmas gift, Li Qiao also put his heart into it. I heard that Deco likes music very much. The gift he prepared for Deco was a pair of 300 Euro headphones, from Sony.

Deco smiled when he got the gift, "How did you know I needed a headset?"

"Guess."

Of course Deco knew it wasn't that simple.

"Thank you, I like your gift very much."

Li Qiao knew that Maniche was greedy for drinking, so what he prepared for him was a bottle of fine wine, a bottle of Chinese Wuliangye.

Maniche didn't know what it was at all. Li Qiao explained it, but Maniche still didn't understand it, but as long as it was something in the cup, it was OK. Anyway, what he wanted was the feeling of being drunk.

"Thanks, Joe."

Looking for a free time, Li Qiao went out to Team B, who were also having a Christmas party.

Li Qiao only prepared gifts for Fabio, Dada and the coach, so he could only ask Lei Wen to pass the message on his behalf.

What he gave to Fabio was Deco's signature, which Fabio had always wanted, and what he gave to Dada was Carlos' jersey, which Maniche helped bring back when Porto played away against Madrid.

Lei Wen's gift was only given when he got home, and assistant coach Gomez's gift was also a bottle of wine, because Li Qiao really didn't know what his hobbies were, so it was safest to give wine, anyway, just drink it if you don't like it.

When he saw Valle in the aisle, he was also a little confused. He was very happy to see Li Qiao.

"Look who's back, my pride."

"Hehe, I'm here to thank you, head."

"There's no need to thank me, everything you have achieved is based on your own hard work."

Li Qiao was very relieved, even a little excited, and he took out a gift.

"what is this?"

"Chinese knot, a gift of blessing, you can hang it in the car, it will bless you."

Valais found it very fresh, and a bright red object was very pleasing.

"Thank you, it just so happens that I have a gift for you too."

Li Qiao froze for a moment, "Did you know I would come over?"

"I was going to let Raven bring it to you."

Li Qiao took it and saw that it was a small silver plate, about the size of a CD, but very delicate.

Portugal was once a maritime power. They learned how to make porcelain from China and how to make silverware from the Arabs. Now these have become the characteristics of Portugal. This silver plate is made by Portuguese craftsmen.

"It's beautiful, head, thank you."

Valle asked Li Qiao to turn the silver plate upside down, "This is a Latin sentence, may God be with you."

Li Qiao gave Valais a hug.

At this time, he realized that Materazzi was crying bitterly while hugging Mourinho. Coaches and players often become friends of life and death.
