Chapter 4 Before the Europa League final

"Contracts and everything have to be negotiated with Real Madrid. I just came here to talk to Mr. Monchi about it." Antonio patiently explained to his agent.

"Really?" Jesus stood up obediently, with a blank expression on his face.

Monchi's eyes once again revealed the familiar contempt of Jesus, and after the last greed, he once again stamped a "stupid" on the manager's forehead.

Jesús was instantly angry, "The transfer fee hasn't been negotiated yet? What if my apple tree doesn't go to Real Madrid? His contract is only for one year, right?"

Throwing the strange title of "apple tree" aside, Monkey frowned. In his eyes, the greedy and stupid fat man was likely to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself, so he looked at it again. Antonio.

Of course Antonio also noticed Monchi's look before, and it should be said that the manager did not hide it at all, so he said with a normal face: "Leon is my agent, and he is responsible for everything except studying and playing football." scope."

Monkey's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Jesus has been with Antonio for 11 years and is one of his closest people. He has the same status as a family friend. Although the agent always believes that Emery's status is higher than his own, if there is a conflict between the two, Antonio will definitely Facing Jesús, not to mention that he is now facing Monchi, who has only a few faces.

Since his wife and daughter disappeared in the shipwreck, Antonio has become the most important person in Jesus' heart.Over the years, in order for his apple tree to thrive, Jesús has spent a lot of effort. He has the cheek to ask for every contract and every sponsorship. He will not allow anyone to interfere with Annie’s career. career, including his own.So it's the same this time, he only threatened Monchi like that when he was so angry and revengeful, and he regretted it when he reacted, and began to worry that Annie would have opinions.And when Antonio said that the agent was solely responsible for everything, Jesús was so happy, he grinned and his eyes almost disappeared.

And this kind of smile, in the eyes of Monkey, is mocking, but he still has to bear it.Because Monchi is just a manager, if this big contract with Real Madrid is ruined, the chairman will definitely take his skin off.

So Monkey apologized, "I'm sorry Mr. Jesús, I hope you can forgive me for my presumptuousness just now."

Jesus was instantly satisfied, and he waved his hand imposingly, "Annie, let's go!"

Antonio's blue eyes overflowed with a smile, and after saying goodbye to Monchi, he followed behind the manager whose aura suddenly changed to [-] meters.

It wasn't until he reached the empty parking lot that Jesus turned into a ball and jumped around Antonio.

"Annie, did you see that? Hahaha! That bald man is afraid of me! We are a perfect match! He's mad at him!"

"Yeah!" Antonio smiled and looked at Jesús, who could faintly see a bit of doting from those eyes.

"Today should be a good celebration! I'll go buy wine later..."

……

As a well-known away player, Sevilla lost 1-3 without hesitation in the last round of the league, but no one cares about it. Now everyone pays more attention to the Europa League final.

Less than two hours after the end of this round of the league, Sevilla released a domineering promotional video for the Europa League final, unabashedly showing their ambitions for the three consecutive championships.On the second day, the club directly held the jersey conference for the 16-17 season, announcing that the players will wear new jerseys designed with the theme of fearless (fear nothing) in the Europa League final.

The much-anticipated day has finally arrived. On May 5, at the St. Jakob Park Stadium in Switzerland, Liverpool and Sevilla will compete for the Europa League title.

Liverpool's current head coach is Klopp. It has to be said that this German nicknamed "Uncle Scumbag" fits Liverpool's temperament very well. People think that Liverpool can rise under his leadership.

What did not disappoint Liverpool supporters was that just a month ago at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool faced Coach Klopp's old club-the German team Borussia Dortmund.With Dortmund leading by three goals, Liverpool's Origi, Coutinho and Sakho scored to equalize successively, and Lovren even made a lore in stoppage time.In the end, Liverpool defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-3 at home, advancing 5-4 on aggregate, and staged the sequel to the Miracle in Istanbul—the Miracle at Anfield.

During the warm-up, Antonio casts a shadowy glance at the red-shirted teams on the other half of the field, who look motivated but relaxed.This state made Antonio a little envious. Although he didn't show it, the muscles hidden under his jersey had already tightened up. After all, it was his first time participating in such a big game.

He kept thinking about various academic issues, but this method that usually calms him down has no effect at all today.Antonio could feel that besides the tension, there was some excitement and joy in his heart. Maybe he had been looking forward to such a game for a long time.

Soon after, the noise in one side of the stands attracted everyone's attention, and there was a fierce conflict between Liverpool and Sevilla fans!The fans of the two teams were wrestling together, and the staff were unable to separate them. In the stands above them, many fans threw down water bottles and other sundries.

Antonio's expressionless face looked quite bluffing, but his wide-eyed blue eyes could clearly see the surprise in his heart.

The assistant coach Cacedo who led the players out to warm up was a little worried. He hurriedly organized the players to enter the locker room. Anyway, the warm-up time was almost up, and it would be bad if they were affected.

Before entering the player tunnel, Antonio couldn't help turning his head to look back. With his excellent eyesight, he could see the policemen entering the stadium to maintain order, which made him feel relieved.But soon, unpleasant emotions followed. Before the game, there was a lot of news about Sevilla fans reselling Europa League final tickets.Many Liverpool fans who did not buy tickets before, they bought second-hand tickets from Sevilla fans at several times the price, so many Liverpool fans sat in the area where the Sevilla fans were, so conflicts occurred Inevitably.

The frenzy of the Liverpool fans was so frightening that Antonio couldn't help but wonder how the red team would get eye-popping support at their home ground, Anfield.

The locker room was the same as usual, accompanied by the familiar music, the Sevilla players did what they had to do, but everyone could feel the restlessness floating under the water.Antonio also carefully tied his shoelaces. He stood up and jumped on the floor twice, then tucked the shin guards into the socks.

Emery opened the door and walked in, and the players' eyes froze for a moment.

"According to the current news, the game will not be postponed due to fan conflicts."

The players were obviously relieved, but they were also worried that the preparations they had made for so long would be let down in one breath because of the postponement of the game.

"Okay, get ready, we're going out soon." Emery stood in the middle of the dressing room, "I've said what I need to say, I don't need to repeat it, you all know what you want ,Is it right?"

Facing the torch-like eyes of the head coach, every player couldn't help puffing out his chest and replying "Yes!" loudly.

Putting the folded clothes into the closet, Antonio took out a red wristband from his backpack, facing the crooked bowknot painted on the wristband, he curled his mouth and showed a trace of tenderness between his eyebrows and eyes.

A few days ago, Jesús held a box and mysteriously told him that the wristband inside had blessed the witch's blessing. The words "Dreams Come True" on the inside of the wristband belonged to his younger brother Fidel who was in the rebellious period. The fat and slightly crooked bow on the front can also make people imagine how careful Rodrigo's little princess Sofia is when she writes.Antonio treasured this wristband that condensed the hopes and blessings of his family members. He put on the tacky red color, moved the bowknot to the center, and touched it several times with his right hand.

Ivora once again lost his starting qualification, which made him dislike Antonio even more. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, but he still swallowed the sarcasm he wanted to breathe out in front of that rare and tender face full of love. .

But passing Antonio, Ivora bumped him and dropped a "hum".Facing the bright provocation on Ivora's face, Antonio just glanced at him and continued typing on the phone screen, which made Ivora even more angry.

Emery felt that his head was hurting again. When he arranged the tactics before, he deliberately considered the bad relationship between the two, or Ivora was unilaterally hostile to Antonio.The two have some overlap in position, coupled with the fact that they never cooperate on the court, Emery had to arrange only one player to play.

If Ivora knew this, he didn't know whether he would be angry or regret it.

Antonio clicked on the selfie sent by the bamboo horse Chris, and the background was the live broadcast of the Europa League final.

"If you really win the championship, I will go to China to see you!"

After pressing the home button, Antonio, who had made an agreement with the bamboo horse, took a deep breath, and checked his leggings, cricket shoes and other equipment for the last time.

"Hello, audience friends, it is 20:40 Central European Time, and there are 5 minutes left. The 15-16 Europa League final is about to begin. The Premier League giants Liverpool and La Liga powerhouse Sevilla are here, that is The battle for the trophy at the St. Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland. Players from both teams started to pitch..."
