world number one assists

Randall woke up later than usual the next day, and was actually slapped awake by Owen.

When he opened his sleepy eyes and saw Owen's face, Randall's consciousness was still a little fuzzy, but he was quickly tossed by Owen.

"What time did you go to bed last night? Looks good, I underestimated you - I thought you would stay up all night." Owen teased after pulling Randall out of bed.

Randall scratched his hair. His hair was too soft, and he could see people with a light flick.

Hearing Owen's ridicule at the moment, he just heheed, and walked to the bathroom and said: "Wait, I will ask Gary and the others after I go out to see who you shared a room with when you participated in the World Cup for the first time. , and then I want to inquire first-hand gossip..."

He didn't believe that the 18-year-old Owen really had such a big heart and could still sleep soundly like last night.

Owen let out a chuckle and said with a smile, "Do you want to know who it is?"

Seeing his smug little expression, Randall felt bad.

Owen smiled and said, "It's Steve——Steve McManaman."

McManaman, made by Liverpool, if it weren't for this guy who was doing well when he first joined Real Madrid, Owen might not have joined Real Madrid...

Randall's heart shattered in an instant. That's right, it's not that any coach breaks up the players in each club like Ferguson. On the contrary, some people like to arrange them together according to the original clubs, which can also reduce conflicts...

Randall pursed his lips and pushed Owen out, "Get out quickly, do you still want to watch me solve my physical problems?"

Owen shrugged, too lazy to talk to this kid on the first day of the World Cup.

Randall saw Owen sorting out his things after washing up, and he joined silently.

Owen looked at this guy who usually talks a lot, but today he said very little, and suddenly said: "Randall, you know, I once thought about a question."

When he saw Randall's light black eyes looking at him, Owen put down his underwear, stared at him and said: "I was wondering, if you joined Manchester United as you wished and did not go to the United States, would you have been selected for the 98 World Cup."

Unlike other leagues, the English like to be famous as early as possible, so Irving was promoted to the first team early to overcome difficulties for Liverpool, and Randall's talent among his peers is like the bright moon among the stars, the light is so dazzling...

"Maybe it's more than that, you might also be in the 'academy' like Ferdinand and I were, and we'd be teammates in that era."

Randall looked at Owen quietly.

Did he fantasize about this?Of course, more than once, maybe until he retired, until the end of his life, he would keep asking himself——

What would my football career have looked like had I stayed in the UK?

This is his heart knot, it's right there, no matter how many championships and honors he wins, he won't be able to fill up those time, it will only make him want to know the answer to this question even more...

"Time cannot be tracked back, just like my youth and speed-after this injury, I can feel that they have left me, and even run against me."

Owen looked at Randall with calm eyes, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"But I've been thinking for half a month, maybe it's not that bad, maybe I don't need to be so desperate, I don't need to think about the future, I don't even need to think about next season-I just need to seize this month, Catch them by the tail before youth and speed get away from me."

Owen then reached out and patted Randall on the head-he really liked to pat this guy's head.

Being that tall always takes more, doesn't it?

Randall grabbed his hand, but Owen was faster. Before it almost turned into a fight between two people, Owen forced his smile and said, "Stop, I haven't talked about you yet!"

"What are you talking about? Are you going to praise me?" Randall suppressed the guy who was trying to struggle, and warned: "You'd better say something nice, otherwise you just shut up. I just want to hear something nice today. "

What level of combat power is Randall?

Owen struggled unsuccessfully, so he quickly gave up the idea of ​​overthrowing this guy. He just lowered his voice and said, "I just thought, God is so merciful to you and me."

"I didn't miss this big game, and you didn't miss football, Manchester United, Ferguson, this World Cup in your life."

Randall pursed his lips slightly in Owen's words.

He has never seen the world from such a perspective—when he imagined that he did not go to the United States again and again, when he imagined the World Cup in 98 and 02 again and again, he never thought about himself at this moment. so lucky.

isn't he lucky

He went from assistant coach to player of the Los Angeles Galaxy Juniors with such ease.And fortunately, he played in the MLS finals half a month later.

However, in just 20 minutes, he became a stepping stone to enter Old Trafford.

He quickly gained the trust of Ferguson and his teammates, but his physical fitness is so weak, but Scholes' injury gave him a chance...

Half a season has passed, he won the league championship with the team, and personally won the first five major league assists in his career.

Isn't he lucky enough?

If that's not enough, what about this moment?

His coach in the national team is still Ferguson.When he stood on the court, half of his teammates had fought alongside him in the club!

"Michael—" Randall said hoarsely, and he gently stroked Owen's short golden brown hair, "You are right. God is so merciful to you and me."

At the age of 26, perhaps a little less of the frivolity of youthful complacency, nor the despair of this last World Cup.

Like fine wine, its color is gorgeous and its smell is intoxicating. This is the best time and should not be missed.

In the history of the World Cup, the concept of the opening game did not exist until the 98 World Cup.

But whether it is France, the host of the World Cup in France, or the World Cup in Korea and Japan, the opening game is extremely boring.

Ferguson had considered whether to prevent the players from watching the game on this day, but in the end he decided to let the whole team watch the opening ceremony and the opening game between Germany and Costa Rica.

At the end of the 90-minute fierce battle, the Allianz Arena in Munich was full of jubilation, all of which were carnival German fans-they defeated Costa Rica 4:2 at home and easily won their first victory in the group stage!

After that, the players began to board the bus under the command of Queiroz while discussing the German's goal.

They're leaving, heading for Frankfurt!

England had already stepped on the Waldstadion in Frankfurt before today, but everything was different from today.

Today is game day!

Ferguson could feel the extra silence on the bus, but the old man wasn't very worried, and there was nothing to worry about.

They are all mature players. Even if they are so nervous that their legs go limp, or even pee their pants, they will slowly enter the state when they walk on the court.

An hour before the game, more than 100 media who had settled in the Wald Stadium got England's starting squad.

When he saw England's starting squad, Huang Jianxiang couldn't help sighing in his heart—it's really sour.

Randall's name is on the starting list!

A few minutes later, they saw today's starting goalkeeper Robinson, accompanied by the goalkeeper coach, enter the stadium to warm up. As for the other players, Huang Jianxiang thought, maybe they are being baptized by Ferguson's warm hair dryer like spring breeze.

what is ferguson doing

He just watched these guys gamble openly!

It's not that the players in England are still playing cards at this time, but the bet proposed by Randall——

He wants everyone to bet on whether he will score first or Irving. Of course, if other players score first, it is also an option. This option is called [Other].

Being directly classified into other ranks by this guy, do you think everyone is annoyed or angry?

Gary Neville took the lead in booing Randall.

Unexpectedly, Randall actually asked his double captain: "Gary, do you want to bet on yourself? What do you think your own odds should be reasonable? I think at least 22 to 1..."

The ugly face of the Manchester United captain made Ferguson laugh, and said something fair, "I think it should be at least 45 to 1, after all, this kid hasn't scored many goals at all."

That's right, Neville, who has played 500 times on behalf of Manchester United, has not scored a few goals!

So the odds already sound like a lot of face.

When Gary Neville faced Randall, he could still send him a sneer. Now that Ferguson is involved, what can he do?

The captain said in his heart - I am too difficult!

However, despite the turmoil, everyone quickly made odds and placed bets under the records of the cameraman invited by the FA.

The reason why the speed is so fast is because there are 11 players in the starting lineup, and 7 people have no bets. Everyone only needs to choose between Randall, Owen, Gerrard, Scholes and Hager.

After setting the odds, Randall, the banker, quickly changed his clothes, followed everyone out of the locker room, and prepared to go on the court to warm up.

The moment he walked out of the locker room, the captain who didn't know when was hiding next to him gave him a slap on the head.

Randall: QAQ!

Waiting for an opportunity to retaliate! ! !

Gary Neville reported his vengeance on the spot, and after the report was over, his curly hair was whirling, half a warning and half a threat: "Don't sue! Don't let me lose money!"

He bet 2000 pounds on Randall, and he can't afford to lose!

Randall pursed his mouth until he walked out of the tunnel with the oil can still hanging from his mouth.

How did Gary know that his slap could make him feel so wronged?

He was even more delicate than his brother Phil's son!

But after thinking about it, the captain chased after him and said a few nice words, which made Randall reluctantly agree not to be angry or hold grudges.

The captain sighed, feeling that the captain's armband on his left arm was so heavy, Randall had already caught up with Owen's footsteps with a smirk, and waved to them amidst the cheers of the fans.

Olier, who has lost nearly 20 pounds since losing his roommate Randall, is standing in the direction of the family stand, waving the flag with Andrew, which is the head of Randall, who is 1 meters long and wide. .

This cheer, is it qualified?
