Shortly after the Copa del Rey final, the Barcelona club announced Mathieu's injury situation through the official website. The thigh muscle strain is expected to be suspended for about 1 month.

Sure enough, when Leo returned to the Clairefontaine training base, he failed to see Mathieu.Although the national team's final entry list and jersey numbers for the European Cup will be announced on May 5, the numbers have already been determined and the jerseys have already been made.

As soon as Leo entered the small castle, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, and Deschamps was sitting there with a serious face, showing a murderous look for no reason.The people next to him ranged from the sports director, football association officials, down to the base staff, all of them were frowning.

Only the players who had just returned to Clairefontaine looked a lot more relaxed after a long season.Giroud and Koscielny were still laughing and playing.As soon as Leo walked in, he was pulled aside by Jirou, saying that he had brought her a gift.

It was nothing more than some small snacks he made himself, and he finally found someone to support him. Every time the national team trains, he has to make a big box for Leo.

Mathieu is injured, Varane is a little young and inexperienced.Koscielny has a greater responsibility at the central defender position, but k6 obviously has no pressure, and keeps pulling Leo to ask him if he wants to go to Arsenal next season.

Leo didn't say a word to them, and several people were taken to take pictures, and then there were a lot of peripherals waiting for autographs, which was a routine arrangement for each training camp.Koscielny and Giroud went to take pictures, and Leo sat at the table and signed them one by one with a marker.

His two good friends, Griezmann and Varane, temporarily stayed at the club to prepare for the Champions League final on the 29th.Leo's relationship with other people is average, he belongs to the kind of personality who doesn't take the initiative to chat with others, so no matter how messed up his teammates are, he will sit there calmly and take his own one by one. daimyo.

It didn't take long for Pogba to arrive, the thigh of Juventus. Recently, it was reported that several clubs including Manchester United and Real Madrid were paying attention to him.The old woman's asking price is frighteningly high, and has already scared away many wealthy families.Fortunately, there is also Manchester United, who is so stupid and fast, who loves to raise his value desperately for the players they fancy.According to unreliable media reports, Manchester United is willing to pay him £1.

Manchester United is also in contact with Granada at the same time, wanting to buy Leo back to the Theater of Dreams.If it were someone else, it would be natural to compare his worth with Pogba, but Leo didn't, he didn't even think about it.Because he now wholeheartedly wants to return to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid has not proposed a buyback intention to Granada for a long time.On the contrary, Manchester United has been very active in getting in touch with Mendes.

Pogba was also arranged by the staff to sign at the table, and he happened to sit next to Leo, so he greeted him: "Hi, Leo, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Leo also turned his head and smiled politely at him, and Pogba changed his hairstyle again, looking like the two of them more than a month ago.

"You played really well in the last few La Liga games, I watched the games live, especially the last game against Barcelona."

Leo was a little flattered to be praised as the head of the team: "Thank you, your performance at Juventus is also very good."

"Your sense of the ball and awareness are very much like your father. It is enjoyable to watch you play football. I hope that the cooperation between us in training can be more tacit and we can achieve good results in the European Cup." Although Pogba is on the field The style of play is very domineering, but he is a very humble and self-disciplined person in life.The only hobbies other than football are dancing and hairdos.

Leo does not think that Deschamps will give him enough chances to play in the European Cup this time. After all, this kind of competition is different from the usual leagues. Every game is very important, especially the knockout stage after the group stage. In the 90-minute game, there must be no slack for a single minute. If you are not careful, you will be eliminated.To be honest, if you compete at your own doorstep, if you don't make it to the quarter-finals, the entire national team will be ripped off by the French people.

Various scandals have emerged in the French team in recent years, and the relationship between the Football Association, players and fans has never been more tense.The French people even called the players "bad boys", while the media joked that one of the most stable aspects of the French national men's football team since Qi Zu is their ability to produce scandals, which can only be described as extremely mocking.

Although Leo's personal ability is relatively outstanding, he is still too young and lacks experience in competitions.No matter how much Didier Deschamps admired him, he dared not rashly place him as the main player. After all, Martial, who has already played the main role in Manchester United, may not be able to play the main player in the national team.

But Pogba said those words not because of Zidane's face and wanting to have a good relationship with the son of the Real Madrid coach.He just admired Leo's ability to turn the tide at critical moments on the court, and appreciated it from the bottom of his heart, just like he once did not hesitate to praise Griezmann.

Martial seemed particularly low-key during the training camp this time, sitting quietly by himself.His demise is now aroused in France and England.His daughter was not yet one year old, so he abandoned his wife and daughter for a talent show star whom he knew not long ago.The British tabloids made a big fuss about this, interviewing his ex-wife in various ways, and there was nothing to say.

Fortunately, this evil fire of extramarital affairs did not spread to the national team, otherwise, given the merciless handling of the scandal by the French team, Deschamps probably would not have signed him into the team.Divorce is a private matter after all, and has limited impact on the image of the national team, so the new golden boy was saved from the same fate as Benzema.

Besides, if it is really because of the problem of life style, it is not only Martial who should be dealt with, but also Dajirou, who once had a date with a model and was photographed by a British tabloid, and then publicly apologized to his wife and begged for forgiveness on ins.

In short, the French team is still the French team that has produced scandals with both quality and quantity, and is still full of factions.It's just that Deschamps is much tougher than Domenech, who was as elegant as a university professor back then.He has already resolved all kinds of conflicts in the locker room, or directly blocked the thorny heads from the national team. Such a thing as stopping training will never happen in a worthy team.

The first training session of the national team was cycling around the oak forest in Clairefontaine. In fact, there was no activity for more than a week after the league ended. After returning, everyone warmed up together.

The path in the forest is narrow and bumpy, and there is still light rain in Paris today, which feels similar to mountain extreme sports.Jirou hummed a little tune and rode slowly on the forest path.Leo followed him and listened to what he was humming and chirping, wishing he could knock him out and the world would be quiet.But someone came all the way to bring him desserts from London, which is interesting enough, he can't deny his brother after eating and wiping his mouth.After thinking about it, Leo stopped by the side of the road, ready to wait for him to go far before continuing.

Just when he stopped to look at the oak forest in a daze in the light rain, another teammate of his followed him. This is Payette, a striker from the Premier League's West Ham United.Leo's impression of him only stays on the court: he is fast and explosive, short in stature, has a certain breakthrough ability, is a counter-attack player, and has a beautiful free kick.In normal life, Payette doesn't talk much, and Leo has little contact with him.However, I have read reports that Payette bombarded Deschamps for being unfair and believed that he was capable of being selected for the national team.

Deschamps has always been bombarded since he became the head coach of the national team. There is no way that there are too many stars, and they cannot all be recruited.So there are always people who are dissatisfied, and reports like this have repeatedly appeared.Even an honest person like Mathieu will be labeled as questioning the selection of the head coach, which shows how much the media likes to find trouble for nothing.

Payette saw Leo parked alone on the side of the road, thinking that something happened to him, and stopped to ask if he needed help.Leo waved his hand, and then rode side by side with him.The two of them were not the type to talk for nothing, and it was much quieter along the way.

In fact, Leo had looked up the information of each teammate on the Internet, not because he wanted to know himself and the enemy to compete with others, but just wanted to know more about them.Especially the playing style and personal habits, which will directly affect the cooperation between them on the field, or the running-in between training and life.

Payette is an inspirational person from his personal experience.If Kanter's inspiration is to work steadily and step by step from a low-level team to today's achievements.Then Payette's inspiration is the success of the final counterattack after experiencing ups and downs.He and the four little swans were born in 1987. When the French youth team led by Benzema, Nasri, Gameiro and Ben Arfa won the U2004 European Youth Championship in 17, the Teller Havre youth academy decided The contract with Payette was terminated, and the 16-year-old boy returned to his hometown of Reunion Island.

Two years later, Ligue 6 club Nantes gave Payette another chance, but the proposed contract was extremely harsh. Nantes had the right to terminate the contract unconditionally after six months, and the salary they offered Payette could not even allow him to support himself.It is hard to imagine that in 2006 there would still be professional players from Ligue [-] clubs relying on working for clothing stores to make ends meet.

Payette has been in Ligue 2014 for many years and had the opportunity to be selected for the national team, but he was not reused. In [-], he switched to West Ham United in the Premier League. Snake did not expect that he would integrate into the big hammer so quickly and quickly become the thickest thigh.

Although very quiet off the court, Payette is not a docile player.He has had many conflicts with his opponents on the court. It was precisely because of his personality that the Teller Havre youth academy terminated his contract with him.

Leo thinks this is nothing, including Zidane, who often gets a red card when he is not calm on the court.Perhaps because of his growth background, personality and other reasons, he is unlikely to become friends with Payette like Griezmann or Varane in life.But on the court, they can be teammates who cooperate with each other tacitly and cooperate with each other.
