[football] walk side by side

The left foot is slightly bent, the center of gravity is lowered, and the force is exerted with the calf of the foot and then pushed out with the instep of the foot. This seemingly simple action only takes place for a moment. Quickly bypassed their heads and directly found Delray outside the penalty area.

An outside instep pass that can be called a stroke of genius.

Similar to the rainbow dribble that Cyril first used in the game against Lisbon, for midfielders, the outside instep pass is also a passing method similar to showing off, but the difference is that the outside instep pass is more than Rainbow is more practical, and when used well, it will achieve decisive results in breaking the game.

Most importantly, this way of passing the ball is too unconventional, or too sudden.

Passing the ball with the outside foot is different from the inside foot. This method of passing the ball is very difficult to control in terms of position and strength. If you are not careful, you may kick out of bounds, or kick it into a joke. The risk is that few defenders will play in the game. This method of passing the ball against the opponent's players on the field.

Even if there was, it was against a club like Real Madrid that loves to please fans with all kinds of difficult and gorgeous skills, not against a small team from the Portuguese Super League.

Not to mention that passing the ball from the outside of the instep itself is a very difficult way to defend against the ball. Lens players don't even have the awareness of defending against this kind of pass. It is undoubtedly a daydream to prevent this pass.

In addition, when Cyril dialed out, the angle of force was slightly upward. At this moment, the trajectory of the football is arcing directly across the defensive player's head. The defensive player can only watch the football in his own eyes. There was a flash above, and the defensive line that Lens worked so hard to build was useless at this moment. Before the football fell, Del Rey, who seized the opportunity, headed towards the goal!

"Slade's instep pass, Del Rey's header! Al! Beautiful pass!! Lens' defense is just a display at this moment!! Del Rey's header is still so accurate!! Long live Porto What about the Ligue [-] runner-up! We are still the champions of the Portuguese Super League!!" Of course, such crazy cheers did not come from the game site, but from the Porto commentator who broadcast the game.

The commentator at the scene was speechless, falling into silence together with tens of thousands of Lens fans.

At the same time, the Porto fans, who were frustrated for 10 minutes, cheered loudly. After being ridiculed by the commentator, there is nothing more enjoyable than scoring a goal-especially this goal is still a goal. Porto pressed the opponent's half and scored toughly in the tide-like offensive!

Cyril originally planned to rush to the sidelines to give his coach a hug or something... However, Del Rey who rushed over directly pressed him directly on the grass, followed by Capsu, Costa and other players who were relatively close .How does it feel to be under the pressure of several adult players?Cyril felt that he was almost out of breath.

"God Cyril, the pass you just made was amazing! How did you think of using that method?" Del Rey, who scored the goal, shouted excitedly, "I bet at least half of the newspapers will be there tomorrow Talk about that pass of yours!"

"Okay, you boy! Well done! Keep it up, let them see and see, our genius in Porto is no worse than that of others!"

All kinds of congratulations and praises from teammates flooded towards Cyril, but Cyril didn't seem to hear it.

He lay quietly on the grass, and he could still smell the faint smell of grass and soil in his nose. He felt a little confused in his brain, but it seemed to be clearer than ever before. He could faintly hear what his teammates seemed to say, but felt Their voices came from far away in the sky.

Then he heard another voice.

The voice was very small at first, so subtle that he might ignore it if he didn't listen carefully, but it gradually grew louder, like a quietly flowing river, because thousands of streams converged, suddenly it was like the sea A huge turbulent wave was set off, getting bigger and clearer, and it exploded in his body like a thunderbolt!

"Cyril!" "Cyril!" "Cyril!"...

It was the thousands of Porto fans who came with the team.

— they were calling his name.

Cyril originally thought that he would be very excited, would be excited, but the fact is that he was not. At this moment, another kind of light and light pleasure has completely surrounded him, as if a person who has been carrying a heavy burden suddenly unloaded all his burdens. heavy burden.

If Cyril was still confused during the training a few days ago, then at this moment, he only felt that he seemed to have found a way to go on.

I like this way of playing football.He said to himself that he might not be as brilliant as a striker, but this feeling of controlling the overall situation and dominating the offense made him more addicted than scoring goals.

Maybe when people are stuck in bottlenecks and difficulties, what they need is just a breakthrough.

This sentence applies not only to Porto, which was unable to attack a few minutes ago, but also to Cyril, who failed to adjust to the new tactics for several consecutive games.

The disadvantage of falling behind by one goal forced Lens to give up the strategy of defending and attacking instead. When Lens stopped defending, Porto's offensive tactics would only become more crazy and terrifying.

Especially when Porto had just scored a goal and morale was running high.

When Lens tries to attack, the midfield combination of Deco and Costinha will always block them out of the midfield. Even if they break through to the penalty area by luck, Carvalho and Costa will push out hard The outside world.After all, in terms of strength and collision, Porto's defense is also not bad. In Mourinho's tactical philosophy, a solid defense is the prerequisite for offense. Since he dared to play such an offense, it also proved the excellent defense of Porto.

While Lens' offense could not pose any substantial threat to Porto, Porto's offensive was completely opened!

With Lens' defense weakened and Cyril's pass more creative, even if Cyril's pass cannot penetrate the entire defense line at once, it can penetrate deeper, and even as Cyril feels more and more It became smoother and smoother, as if he was suddenly liberated, and every pass became sharper than before.

For Cyril's changes, Porto's two forwards, Kapushu and Delray, undoubtedly benefited the most.

Out of familiarity with his own forwards, Cyril often not only pays attention to precision when passing the ball, but also makes certain changes according to specific forwards, so that the forwards can receive the ball more comfortably. Er is also in good condition, and can produce several very threatening shots almost every few minutes. If the goal post is not too strong, at the end of the first half, the score of this game will never stay at 0:1 .

Mourinho didn't emphasize anything during the intermission, because he knew that he didn't need to emphasize anything anymore. From the faces of every player, he saw the confidence on their faces and the fighting spirit in their eyes.

not enough! What is 0:1? !What is the Ligue 0 runner-up? !Can we draw with Bayern Munich so we can definitely beat us? Can the score of 1:[-] wash away the irony and insult from the outside world?What we need is a hearty victory!

When the players walked out of the locker room, their mood was unprecedentedly calm. They already had enough confidence and calmness to deal with the next second half, and when the dragon was not arrogant or impetuous, and calmly dealt with the enemy, the game had lost all hope. suspense.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Porto's offensive was as fierce as ever. Mourinho's rest while holding the ball made their physical exertion not very serious. In addition, Porto had a lot of internal training on weekdays. After the strategy of attempting to consume the physical strength of the Porto players went bankrupt, at this time due to the offense, they had to be exhausted to grab the ball from the Porto players, which made the Lens players consume their physical strength faster.

The most terrible thing is that Lens' goalkeeper made two low-level mistakes.

Once, Delray made a wrong timing judgment when he shot, and chose to abandon the goal to attack, allowing Delray to easily send the ball into the empty goal.Another time, the ball was caught, but the ball slipped into the net because of insufficient force.

When the score was 0:1 at the beginning, the home commentator could enthusiastically call on the home fans to "Come on for our players! Our heroes are the best!" and so on, and when the score became 0:2, even At 0:3, the arrogant commentator at the beginning could only utter painful □□…

"Oh my god, this is a nightmare! What happened to our players?! The goalkeeper's performance was a disaster! After bidding farewell to the Champions League, are we going to miss the UEFA Cup... This is really..."

At this moment, the mood of the home fans is also not much better.Last week, I was still drawing with Bayern Munich for the team and winning against AC Milan at home. Deportivo was proud of its record, but when I turned around, I was beaten dizzy and embarrassed by a Portuguese Super League team. The gap between them , not a star and a half.

But these have nothing to do with Porto.

The moment the referee blew the whistle, the Lens fans left the field speechless. The Porto fans, who kept a low profile for most of the game due to the small number of people, cheered and expressed their joy and joy in this victory in various ways , Then, as if they had made an agreement, they began to call everyone's name in unison, from the head coach Jose Mourinho to the captain Jorge Costa, Cyril, Del Rey...

Cyril, on the other hand, rushed to the sidelines when he saw that Del Rey had the intention to press him again, and gave the man who was watching them with a smile a big hug——

"thank you, sir."

Unlike those players who wantonly express their joys, sorrows and joys on the court, it is difficult for Cyril to make some eye-catching celebrations excitedly. For this head coach whom he thanked from the bottom of his heart, he can only express his sincere thanks And hugs, and better performances in return.

"Remember how you feel today, and then, keep going." Mourinho patted Cyril on the shoulder, with a rare faint smile on his serious face: "But don't relax, there are still areas you need to strengthen." There are too many." After a pause, he added: "Come with me to the press conference later."

Cyril was stunned, a little surprised, but still nodded in agreement.

In fact, Mourinho has always disliked his players always dealing with the media, so Jorge Costa, the captain, often accompanied Mourinho to attend press conferences. As for the protests of the media?If a madman cares about these things, he would be a ghost.

When Mourinho led Cyril into the press conference hall, Cyril clearly saw that the eyes of all reporters lit up instantly.

Although Cyril did not score a goal in this game, no one can ignore the huge role he played in this game.Without his deadlock-breaking assist, Porto may not have won the game, not to mention, even with the next few goals, Cyril was also the initiator of the attack.

"Mr. Cyril Slade, hello, first of all congratulations on your victory in this game, did you know that you were named the best player of the game? That pass was very beautiful, can you tell us how you thought Did you use the outside instep pass at that time?"

"Mr. Cyril Slade, are you satisfied with your performance in this game? Soon you will be the core of Portugal's midfielder and participate in the final against Czech U21. Do you have confidence in this game?"

"..."

All of a sudden, several reporters gathered around Cyril's seat, and all kinds of messy questions were thrown out, but these were not important, because before Cyril answered, Mourinho gently asked He clapped his hands and signaled the reporters to listen to him quietly.

Because of Mourinho's attitude towards the media, and because Mourinho himself has always been a news maker, the reporters quickly quieted down and listened to him without blinking.

The head coach in the black windbreaker crossed his arms, looked haughty, and stared at the reporters in the audience with a half-smile: "Now, is there anyone who wants to doubt my vision?"

Reminiscent of the previous reporters’ doubts about Mourinho’s use of Cyril and Cyril’s performance in this game, some reporters kept silent and pretended not to hear Mourinho’s question, while the other part of the reporters could not Tolerating Mourinho's arrogant attitude, he countered: "This is just a game, maybe it's just a coincidence?"

Mourinho sneered, and said flatly: "Then we'll just wait and see." Then he turned his back to the reporter and waved his hand casually: "Okay, the press conference is over."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the resentment or stunned expressions of the reporters, they turned their heads and walked away.

Cyril who was left on the spot: _(:3ゝ∠)_ Sir, did you forget something...

***

When Porto killed Lens beautifully with a big score of 0:3, there were still some reporters who wanted Mourinho to confront him and waited for Cyril's next performance with cold eyes, secretly thinking that if Cyril's performance was not good, So wishful, he went on to criticize Mourinho a lot, but the fact is that, as if Cyril had been completely transformed and released, the court dominance and the number of assists suddenly soared at an extremely terrifying speed!

In the No.13 round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto played against Santa Clara at home.

"al!!! The game started less than 1 minute, I bet there are still many Santa Clara fans who failed to find their seats at this time, but they are now about to face a bad news - Cyril S Ryder's through ball accurately found Capsuo, and Capsuo's explosive shot went directly to Santa Clara's goal! Fantastic start! Ferreira is in danger!"

"Cyril-Slade!! Gosh I gotta say the pass was so clever!! Santa Clara's defense was almost sifted by him!! Kapushu's shot- oh, pity, poor One point... wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooty

"This is the No.13 round of the Portuguese Super League. Half of the game time has passed, but Porto has already led by three goals. There is no suspense, no suspense at all! Maybe other teams will be overturned because of pride, but Porto will always No! Because we have a reliable head coach and a group of players who never underestimate the enemy! Porto told everyone with its fierce offense and strong defense: be vigilant! The dragon is coming!!"

Perhaps to make up for the aggrieved feeling during the away game against Lens, the commentator at the Antas Stadium screamed crazily throughout the game, wishing to praise every player in Porto to the sky. At the end of the game, Santa Clara The La players have completely lost their confidence in resistance under Porto's offensive, and the home fans happily entertained themselves. They cheered and applauded when their players took the ball for a while, and booed and booed for a while. Santa Clara, call each player by name one by one.

When the referee blew the whistle to announce Porto's victory, the Santa Clara players were all pale and looked like they were about to cry.

For other teams in the Portuguese Super League, all this is just the beginning of a nightmare.

"Al! Beautiful header! Deco scored twice!! I must say that Ferreira's coach is so naive! Did he think it would be okay to send players to freeze Cyril? We have two middle The core of the field! Unless they can freeze two - but only if the Portuguese Football Association allows them to send thirteen players to the field!"

"4:0, a hearty victory! Porto completely dominated the whole game! I know the outside media are still questioning Mr. Mourinho's vision and ability, but I think it's time for them to admit defeat obediently— ——We have won every game recently, our attack has overwhelmed Ferreira, and our defense has prevented Ferreira from stepping into the penalty area. I am sure that the current Porto is the best Porto .”

Accompanied by the commentator's words, the No. 14 round of the Portuguese Super League ended with a big score of 4:0.

At the same time, after Porto won five consecutive games with big scores and Cyril continued to play at a high level, most of the media finally lowered their rebellious heads obediently:

"Well, I have to admit that as a football commentator, my vision is still not as good as that of Mr. Mourinho as the head coach," a reporter said in the newspaper: "In addition, I have to withdraw In my opinion, Cyril Slade is indeed a very talented player, and his ability to grasp time and space is indeed unmatched by ordinary people."

The "Porto Business Daily", which belongs to Porto from body to heart, sang praises to Porto without feeling nasty: "Perfect game, perfect Porto! No one thought before the season that Porto would be the champion of the Portuguese Super League this season." Strong contenders, but the fact is that we are now seven points ahead of No.2! Facts have proved that our head coach can not only lead us to glory, but also nurture the future for us! Those who accuse Mr. Mourinho will only rely on Shut up all those who buy players and wins with money, our youth academy can also cultivate talents!"

"The veritable three stars of Portugal! Not long ago there were people who questioned that Cyril Slade was not qualified to be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo and Ricardo Quaresma, but I believe no one will hold this stupidity anymore He is not only a rising star at the Antas Stadium, but also a rising star in Portugal!"

"After the No.14 round of the Portuguese Super League, Cyril Slade, who made a sudden effort in the half of the game, ranked fourth in the Portuguese Super League assist list with six assists. Considering that the league is less than halfway through, maybe We may usher in the youngest assist leader in Portuguese Super League history at the end of the season."

But the reason why I say most of them is because there are exceptions——

Since Porto made it clear that "any player is prohibited from being interviewed by "Record", "Record" has developed the habit of ridiculing Porto every day. Once tough, he stuck to his bottom line:

"Porto's five consecutive victories? Yes, they did a good job, but I think Mr. Mourinho and his disciples had better not be too happy too early. A 7-point lead does not guarantee an absolute victory. Five consecutive victories is nothing to be proud of. You ask me how Cyril Slade is doing? If he is really the rare genius that Mr. Mourinho said, please Let's talk about a performance worthy of the title of genius in the Clasico in three days' time."

"Sometimes I really admire the ability of "Record" to open their eyes and tell lies. Is Benfica considered an underdog? Lens is also considered an underdog? Why didn't they say that when we played against Benfica and Lens a few days ago?" Regarding the bravado of the "Record", the "Porto Commercial Daily" retorted disdainfully, but the "Porto Commercial Daily" only pointed to the end, and did not engage in further entanglement with the "Record".

Because Portugal's "National Derby" is coming.

If the relationship between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica in Lisbon is like the relationship between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, then the relationship between Sporting Lisbon and Porto is more like the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The nature of the national derby is destined to make this upcoming round of the league at the Alvalade Stadium the focus of the entire Portugal.

With the three giants dividing up the Portuguese Super League and Porto beating Benfica not long ago, considering the stability of the team coached by Mourinho, as long as Porto wins this game, it almost means Sporting Lisbon will directly withdraw from the championship. In this season's Portuguese Super League, there will be no team that can resist Porto, who is playing more and more crazy.

Before the game started, the communication between the two sides in the media was full of gunpowder.

"Don't forget, when Porto was a guest at the Alvalade Stadium last season, they had a taste of failure here, and this season is no exception! Porto won five consecutive victories? That's because they didn't meet Sporting Lisbon! Mourini O want the championship? That depends on whether we agree in Lisbon!"

There was also mention of Belenenses - another team from Lisbon, who will be Porto's next opponent after the match against Sporting Lisbon, after Porto also failed to play in Belenenses last season. What is cheap for me.

This made some reporters think that Porto is not the most favorable contender for the championship at this time, because in the next two games, Porto may be overtaken by Sporting Lisbon or Benfica due to mistakes at any time.

Regarding such doubts, Mourinho responded disdainfully: "Last season, Porto lost to Sporting Lisbon and Belenenses. My Porto."

In addition to provoking the head coaches of both sides, some media also found another gimmick:

"Ricardo Quaresma & Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Cyril Slade, the battle for Portuguese stars! Lock in the No.15 round of the league and see who is the best player of Portugal's young generation?"

"When it was revealed that in the Portuguese League, Cyril Slade took the initiative to ask Cristiano Ronaldo to change his jersey and was rejected. The relationship between the two parties in the national team's u21 is average. There have been many unhappiness in private. The next game may be a big fight."

Leaving aside the turmoil among the outside media, at least the players are still very peaceful.

After all, many players from Sporting Lisbon and Porto are from the Portuguese national team, and they are good teammates in the national team. Unless the emotional intelligence is limited, ordinary adult players rarely make each other unhappy because of unnecessary disputes. Or in other words, it's just that they don't look so harmonious in front of the media, but the actual relationship is often not bad.

"We're going to face that kid in the next game," Ricardo Costa, who was deeply impressed by Cyril's abandonment of himself in the national team, looked at his friend suspiciously and whispered: "Cyril, You don't accidentally pass him the ball on the court, do you?"

Although the name was not named, both of them knew who the "boy" in this sentence was referring to.Cyril glanced at his friend indifferently, and said with a half-smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass the ball to you."

"That's about the same..." Costa replied subconsciously, and felt wrong while talking: "Wait, I'm just a defender! Why are you passing the ball to me?! Cyril? Cyril?"

Cyril, however, was too lazy to talk to his brainless teammates anymore. He lazily waved his hand to say goodbye, and he found a place on the training ground to play with the ball.At first glance, the boy seems to be watching the football under his feet seriously, but if someone gets closer, he can see that the boy's eyes on the football are obviously a little floating.

Cyril was a little distracted.

He was thinking about the confident text message he received from Lisbon last night—

"Welcome to the Alvalade Stadium, you better not expect me to comfort you this time."

"Comfort?" Cyril raised his eyebrows and typed such a reply on his mobile phone. He thought for a while and added: "Chris, please save yourself, the victory belongs to Porto!"

In the No.15 round of the Portuguese Super League, Porto visited the Alvalade Stadium and challenged Sporting Lisbon away.

Before the official start of the game, more than half of the fans at the scene came, and various banners were hung under the seats. From time to time, some reporters wandered among the fans, doing on-site interviews.

When the reporter asked an old man wearing a Sporting Lisbon jersey, the old man over half a century old said vigorously: "No one can play wild in the lion's territory! The dragon can't either!"

"Huh? Needless to say? Of course the final glory belongs to Porto! As Mr. Mourinho said - we are not the Porto of last year! The lion should be trampled under the feet of the dragon! We are the last Great!"

"You ask me which team I want to win? Don't be kidding, man, I'm a Benfica fan! If you ask me, Porto and Sporting Lisbon are best to lose, and no one wins!"

"I'm a neutral fan, I just want to enjoy a high-level football feast, I hope this game will not let me down."

In such a lively atmosphere, the relatively empty and uninhabited competition grass is quite eye-catching——

On the coaching bench of the visiting team at the Alvalade Stadium, the head coach Mourinho sat there quietly, staring into the distance as if contemplative. There were no assistant coaches or players around him, and the whole picture was filled with A kind of tranquility, but with a faint breath of chill.

"Huh? Isn't that the head coach of Porto? I think he's a bit too arrogant... Come out so early, is it possible that his tactics are all arranged?"

"The opponent is Sporting Lisbon... Is it really okay if we don't arrange it well..."

Just when the fans were talking about Mourinho's appearance, the Porto locker room was actually discussing this issue.

"Where is the gentleman?" Ricardo Costa asked.

Del Rey gave him a strange look: "Didn't you go out just now?"

Costa scratched his head: "But isn't it more than half an hour before the start of the game?" Costa was a little puzzled: "What are you doing so early, sir? To provoke the fans of Sporting Lisbon?"

Del Rey seemed to be unable to tolerate the series of idiotic questions from this junior. He poked Cyril who was sitting beside him, and said concisely, "I'll leave it to you."

Cyril, who was called, blinked his eyes before putting down his phone—in fact, he hasn’t raised his head since Mourinho finished talking about the tactical layout: “It’s nothing strange, Costa. Mr. Every game is the first to go out. At most, today is earlier than usual, nothing to make a fuss about." He thought for a while, then looked at his friend thoughtfully: "Costa, you are not here Are you nervous?"

Costa: "...I didn't!"

"Actually, there's nothing to be nervous about." Cyril patted his friend on the shoulder: "Mister won't let you play anyway."

"..." Costa, who was almost used to being routinely hurt by his friends, took a deep breath and pretended not to hear this sentence. He chose another question that he cared about: "Since Mr. left, you have been immersed in your mobile phone. You, I said you can't be in love, right?"

This topic successfully aroused the interest of everyone in the locker room. The moment Costa finished speaking, all eyes fell on Cyril, with gossip and curiosity written all over his face. The few people who had a better relationship even started booing directly with "ohhhhhhhhhhhhh"!

Del Rey hooked Cyril's neck: "Tell me, which girl hooked our family's Cyril? What does she do? Model? Singer? Or what bar did you have an affair with?"

"Oh come on, Del Rey, we good babies like Cyril don't go to places like bars and nightclubs—it must be the new lady nutritionist at the club! The nutrition package she designed for Cyril is always the most reasonable, It's not as difficult to swallow as it was designed for us." Baya immediately retorted.

Captain Jorge Costa smiled, and patted his chest very meaningfully: "I must say that Miss Nutritionist's figure is really hot enough, Cyril, you are lucky, be careful of being squeezed You don't have the strength to be taught by the master...Do you need me to teach you two tricks?"

"Isn't he the master's baby? It's impossible to be reprimanded." Pedro Mendez said abruptly, his tone was a bit eccentric, and the content of his words also carried some strange meanings.

This meaningful sentence caused everyone who was still in full swing to fall silent just now.

In fact, since Mourinho took Pedro Mendes from the starting lineup and replaced him with Cyril, Pedro has rarely participated in the laughter and scolding among the crowd.

Of course, the careful players didn't miss this point, it's just that no one understood it.

If it is said that before the game against Lens, there were still players who had a good relationship with Pedro who were secretly dissatisfied, then after Lens, no one has questioned Mourinho's substitution.

The main position in the team is limited, and the able ones are supposed to live there. The competition between players with conflicting positions is unavoidable.It's just that Pedro, who was originally a good main force, lost his position as the main force because the head coach took a fancy to another young boy, and he naturally felt a lot of resentment in his heart.

Cyril's eyes dimmed, and he didn't make a sound.

Before the atmosphere in the entire locker room became deathly silent, Jorge Costa raised his head, glanced at Pedro lightly, and stated calmly: "Don't be silly, Pedro."

After hearing Jorge Costa's words, Pedro's expression immediately became very complicated: annoyed, unwilling, and unbelievable.Because the meaning of the Porto captain's words couldn't be simpler: that is, he has made a choice between Cyril and him Pedro!

Yes, Cyril Slade has performed well in recent games, but does that kind of game against underdogs really prove his ability?If he is replaced, maybe Porto's results will be even better!If it weren't for Deco to make up for him, Porto might lose how many points it would have lost!

Pedro, who held this idea, obviously ignored the contribution of Lens and Cyril in organizing the offense.

Pedro sat back in his seat with a gloomy face, without saying a word, and Jorge Costa had no intention of explaining anything, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

"I said..." Cyril's voice made everyone's eyes focus again, but the young man said angrily: "I just sent a text message to my friend, how did you directly associate me with being in love? Or Miss Nutritionist? Wake up, Mr. Baia, God knows she is ten years older than me!"

The chatter set things right in the locker room -- at least on the surface.No one mentioned the unexpected incident just now, and cooperated to continue this harmonious topic.

"Friend? Male or female?" Kapushu interjected, with a narrow smile on his face.

"Of course it's a man." Cyril was a little dumbfounded: "He's sitting in the locker room of the home team opposite!"

While others were still recalling who else in Sporting Lisbon had a good relationship with their teammates, Costa, who felt deeply that his friends had been robbed, protested angrily: "Cyril, you really make me sad I always thought we were best friends, but you just ignored me just now to reply to his text messages! Have you forgotten who was with you every day for extra training until night?"

Cyril: "..." Why do you always feel that there seems to be something wrong with the other party's words?

"Cyril, tell me the truth," Costa said with a "serious face", as if he would decisively break up with the other party if he didn't agree with the reply: "Me or that Ronaldo, who is more important?"

"..." Cyril glanced expressionlessly at his stupid teammate who was playing tricks, without hesitation: "
