[football] walk side by side

When Cyril came back from Real Madrid's locker room with his changed jersey, the Porto players all lit up and looked over in unison.Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Cyril raised his eyebrows strangely: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Captain Costa was the first to jump up, leaned over to Cyril's side, looked around, found no traces, then touched his back, and found that Cyril still didn't respond. He pondered for a while, and then looked at his teammate's white thighs exposed under the ball pants.

"Ahem," Baia cleared his throat, and blamed righteously: "Ruore, don't think that you can do whatever you want to Cyril if the matter in the locker room won't be spread."

Cyrillic:"……"

"..." Costa's face was half black, and he casually rolled a booklet in the locker room into a cylinder, and knocked it on Baia's head: "What is going on in your mind all day long? I Are you worried that Cyril will be gang-beaten by the Real Madrid guys?"

Cyril's face was full of black lines, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "What did I do, they have to beat me up? Besides, Captain Figo is still here." Speaking of this, he raised the jersey in his hand by the way, pure white On the back of the jersey, the number "10" is printed, which is the jersey number of Portuguese captain Luis Figo in Real Madrid.

"Cyril, you are too..." Del Rey couldn't find an adjective to express his evaluation of Cyril's move. His eyes widened in shock: "It's hard to get a chance to change your jersey. You don't want Ronaldo. , instead of looking for Zidane, look for Figo?"

"Uh...I'm not saying that Figo is not good." Noticing the unkind eyes cast on him by several Portuguese national team players in the locker room, he hastily added: "With Cyril's strength, you will enter the Portuguese national team sooner or later." For the team, how many jerseys Figo will have, of course Ronaldo's jersey is more important at this time, right?"

"How can the club's and the national team's be the same? Besides," Cyril blinked, and grabbed another jersey with "9-ronaldo" printed on the back from his arms: "Who said I don't have Ronaldo's jersey?" jersey?"

Delray was silent for a moment, and the next second, the Brazilian striker rushed over, but Cyril stuffed the jersey in again and raised his eyebrows: "I want to change it myself, you go."

Carvalho looked enviously at the pile of jerseys that Cyril carried back, and muttered: "If I had known that Real Madrid superstars are so talkative, I would have gone too."

Cyril smiled without saying a word.

Players—especially superstars at the level of Ronaldo and Zidane, rarely have narrow-mindedness, let alone hate their opponents because they didn't win a game.In the final analysis, the green field is a world that pays attention to strength. For them, Cyril has shown his strength and potential, so they don't mind forming a good relationship with Cyril.

At this time, in the locker room of the visiting team at the Bernabéu, some of the Porto players hadn't cleaned themselves up. Cyril, who had changed his jersey, was sitting in the locker room in a daze. He turned on his phone and glanced at the text message.

Cesc Fabregas: That lob shot at the beginning was really cool!Well done hahahaha!Honestly, are you really not considering coming to Arsenal?I think our partner will be invincible! ——Why are you going to Arsenal?Are you holding you back?

Messi: You are better than I thought.

Cyril's fingers paused slightly on the phone buttons. Messi's serious words made him embarrassed to taunt Fabregas like replying. He thought for a while, and it happened that Messi had also been put on the front line of Barcelona. Team, represented Barcelona once in La Liga, and then went back to the past: you are not bad.

Jorge: I realized that I love you the most when you are on the court... Do you know how many team managers invited me to tea after this game?Work hard baby, my income next summer depends on you! —Thank you Jorge dear, but if you must call me by this disgusting title, I'm not going anywhere next summer.

At this time, the text messages are sorted in such a way that the earlier the text messages are sent, the later they will be. Therefore, when Cyril turned to Cristiano who sent the message first, it was already the last one.

Cristiano: That lob is really beautiful!When did you learn to shoot from a distance? ps Are you regressing?Why do I get the feeling that your shot is worse than the last time I saw it?

When Cyril replied to the message from Jorge and others, Luo Sansui, who didn't get a timely response, sent another message:? ?ignore me?

Cyril's eyes lingered on "It's worse" for a while. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then spread out the No. 10 Figo jersey, took a photo and sent it directly.By the way, I added a sentence: envious?not for you.

Although I am very envious, I still have to pretend not to care about Cristiano: ... When I enter the national team in the future, I can still change.

Cyril: Look clearly, this is Real Madrid No. 10.

As if afraid that Cristiano would not understand what he meant, Cyril added with a smile: "Swapping with Real Madrid after the game is the same as finding Figo in the national team?"

Cristiano is not convinced: Maybe Manchester United will meet Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage, and I will have the same chance then.

Cyril: Impossible.

Cristiano: Why?

Cyril: Manchester United's opponent must be Porto.

Cristiano had a bad feeling: ... What do you mean?

Cyril: I thought about it for a while. If Porto must meet a rich team in the knockout round, Manchester United is the best choice. It happens that you have a lot of injuries and the fight will be easier.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Rooney witnessed with his own eyes that Cristiano, who was looking down at his phone solemnly, had a hideous expression on his face for a moment, and then angrily pressed the button on the phone, aggressively: Do you want to fight?

Cyril: You can't beat me.

What is a crit?

Manchester United No. 7, whose blood tank had been emptied, was speechless, staring at the five words on the phone screen for a long time, unable to let go, he angrily threw the phone on the padded seat in the dressing room, pulled it up and sat still Panting Rooney: "Let's go, go to training."

Rooney, who had just finished training, originally wanted to refuse, until he met Cristiano, whose eyes were burning with fire, Lu Xiaopang hesitated for a while, facing the mysterious anger of his teammates, he wisely chose to compromise :"……oh."

In my heart, I scolded the guy on the other end of the text message.

On the other side, Cyril imagined someone's angry expression, and felt that the sentence "It's worse than the last time I saw it" didn't seem so glaring.

Today is also a very beautiful day.

"Cyril," the door of the locker room opened with a creak, and Mourinho stood outside with half of his head poked out, his eyes swept across the messy locker room, and fell on the neat and tidy Cyril: "and I'm going to the press conference together."

Cyril was surprised for a second. Since he represented the first team in Porto until now, Mourinho has never brought him to a press conference. Now this is... Want to exercise your ability to face the media?Or keep beating yourself not to be too proud?

Confusion turned into confusion, thinking of his off-angle shot in the game, Cyril followed Mourinho obediently, and the head coach of Porto kept walking towards the press conference hall, while at the same time seemed to be Thinking of something, he said casually: "I don't care if you're in a relationship or a woman, if you dare to affect your training status, you can pack up your bags and go back to the reserve team."

"..." Cyril looked blank: "When did I fall in love or pick up a woman?"

"Would you be smirking at your phone if you're not in a relationship?" Mourinho waved his hand. "In short, just pay attention to yourself."

When he said this, Mourinho didn't look back, so he didn't see his disciple's look that became complicated in an instant. Cyril pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "I understand, sir."

Always, always understood.

Mourinho didn't notice anything wrong with Cyril's tone, he just felt that Cyril's mood seemed a little low at the moment, so he added awkwardly: "I didn't say no, it's just that your current status In particular, most of the women who surround you have other purposes, so there is no need to get entangled with them. When you really become a world superstar, do you want any women?"

Cyril knew his husband's awkward comfort, he smiled, and said in a relaxed tone: "Sir, don't worry, I'm not interested in places like nightclubs, models and female stars are the same. Compared with sensual Stimulation, I still prefer psychological stability."

Now that his disciples have already guaranteed this, Mourinho has nothing to say. He nodded and said: "The press conference hall is in front of you. After a while, the reporter will ask questions. You just need to be careful." He said Without telling more content, Cyril's performance when dealing with the media is where Mourinho wants to test Cyril, so naturally he can't say more.

Cyril exhaled and nodded seriously.

After confirming that Cyril was ready, Mourinho pushed open the door of the press hall and walked out with Cyril.

Cyril followed behind Mourinho. The moment the door was pushed open, he saw countless flashes of white light, and countless pairs of eyes that were either interested or implied hostility or admired. face.

It was at this moment that he began to realize clearly—unless one day he suddenly fell, otherwise, these flashing lights and short guns would run through his entire career, and it would also be his place outside the court, as well. Another battlefield that must be dealt with seriously.

As soon as the two sat down in front of the rostrum, countless microphones and cameras pointed at them. To be precise, they pointed at Cyril.Reporters have always hated interviewing Mourinho after the victory. Although Porto only drew with Real Madrid in this game, in the eyes of many reporters, it is not easy to draw with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

As for Queiroz... a wave of ridicule is good, but compared to this, the reporters are more interested in this 17-year-old player at this time.

Journalists with no interest are out of curiosity. For the football media of any country, the talented player who captured the Bernabeu is a very sensational topic. The local media in Madrid who are facing Real Madrid are trying to get an interview from Cyril Slade Find any loopholes in it as a basis for picking and attacking him.

"Marca", as a local newspaper in Spain, is naturally facing Real Madrid at this time: "First of all, congratulations to Porto for achieving a draw at the Bernabeu." The reporter deliberately emphasized the word "draw", "As far as I know, Those who can score goals at the Bernabeu Stadium and get applause from the Real Madrid fans are all top players in today's football, I would like to ask Mr. Slade, do you think you have entered the ranks of top players?"

As soon as the words fell, many reporters present couldn't help frowning, because this question was asked without technical content. What is "do you think you have entered the ranks of top players"?Who in a normal person would say "yes"?Isn't this an obviously meaningless question?

There were also a small group of reporters who secretly laughed in their hearts. This question was really insidious.

If Cyril Slade replied modestly that he didn't think so, the Marca reporter would most likely use this to satirize his shot from a remote angle at the end, and has since listed the opening midfield lob as "just luck". , and finally give him an evaluation of "not good at shooting, not solid basic skills", and if Cyril dares to answer yes, it will be easier, all European football media will attack him for being arrogant and disrespecting his predecessors .

Mourinho also frowned. This question is too much for a young player.He was a little displeased. Looking at the reporter of "Marca", he opened his mouth and planned to rescue Cyril.

However, before that, the young man dressed in blue and white had already spoken. His voice was clear and clear. There was a faint gleam in his eyes looking at the reporter, and he seemed to feel the malice in the reporter's words: "For many players, To score goals at the Bernabéu is a great honor, but I don't think so."

This sentence immediately made the eyes of all reporters light up. Does this mean to look down on Real Madrid?Jorge, who rushed here because he was informed by his assistant that Mourinho had dragged Cyril to the press conference, was also very nervous.What about being humble and polite?

As a head coach who has always followed the route of a madman in his external speeches, Mourinho just raised his eyebrows and waited quietly for Cyril's next words.

"As a player, I will do my best to score goals in every stadium I go to. At one point, any player is the same."

Jorge breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it’s okay for Cyril to answer the reporter’s question head-on. If the reporter of “Marca” insists on talking about the last outrageous shot, Cyril can also mock Pavon’s own goal, but this kind of statement seems too much A little sharper will only arouse the anger of the Spanish reporters, and the press conference will end even more badly.

Although it doesn't matter if there is a big trouble-in the interviews related to Mourinho and Cristiano, there are very few people who haven't made a big trouble, but for Cyril, Jorge still hopes that his image will be better. Meet the "set" point.Mourinho and Cristiano are arrogant, that's true temperament, and Cyril is the same, that's neither fish nor fowl.

Now this answer is just right.

Not only avoided the reporter's trap, but also "boasted" his professionalism of always pursuing victory, without appearing arrogant and annoying.

On the contrary, Mourinho looked a little regretful—as if he regretted that his proud disciple didn't get the true biography of his tongue-in-cheek journalists.

"I heard that both Manchester United and Arsenal are interested in introducing you next summer, and Real Madrid and Barcelona are also interested in you. Would you consider leaving Porto next summer?"

"With your half-time performance, do you think you have a chance to be selected for the Portuguese national team in the European Cup next year, and continue to cooperate with Deco?"

"Ricardo Quaresma has been taken away by Barcelona, ​​and Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the same age as you, also took the No. [-] jersey of the Red Devils this summer. Only you are still in the Portuguese Super League. The worst of the three?"

Questions from the reporters were thrown out one after another, Queiroz and Mourinho on one side were completely forgotten by them, paparazzi from all over the world stared closely at the expression of the young man, secretly expecting something special from the other party Reaction, so that they can make a big news in tomorrow's press.

Unfortunately, the reaction of the young people made their hopes dashed.

Although each of these reporters' questions became more difficult and more malicious than the last, the young man in front of him seemed to be ignorant of all of this. From the beginning to the end, he sat there modestly and politely, with a straight posture. The tenacious bamboo in the cold wind answered his questions in a calm and clear manner. The reporter was eloquent with every word and every word, and he talked and laughed freely.

The interviews that everyone came here to disrupt the stage were abruptly turned into a long and boring leadership speech by his gentle and gentle demeanor.

Angry.

The reporters were so depressed that they had to find two other people to vent their anger, but...their eyes drifted away from Mourinho who was smiling and almost had "Come, come, come and interview me, paparazzi" on his face. , Dozens of reporters at the scene ignored the Porto coach without even thinking about it, and aimed at Queiroz in unison:

"In this game, Francisco Pavon's performance can be described as a mess. This is enough to prove that Mr. Florentino's policy is wrong? May I ask how Queiroz thinks about this 'superstar Zidane' policy? ?”

"I noticed that in this game, the Real Madrid stars were once again booed by the home fans. What does Mr. Queiroz think of this? Cyril Slade's half-time lob won the white crowd. Applause, is this a disgrace to the Bernabéu?"

……

Although he was very angry at the questions of these reporters, Queiroz, as the head coach of Real Madrid, can be regarded as experienced in many battles. Although he was so irritable that he wanted to throw the table and leave, he still endured it. Come down and frown to answer the reporters' messy questions.

Taking advantage of this time, Cyril turned his head and winked secretly at Mourinho, meaning: Sir, how am I doing?

Mourinho ignored him.

……

"Rising Porto star draws the Bernabeu with one shot and one pass!" "

"Genius players shine at the Bernabeu, halftime lobs win the applause of the audience! "

On the second day after the game, Cyril's name really appeared on the headlines of football newspapers in various countries. Numerous media rushed to report on the halftime lob that shocked the audience, as if they wanted to praise Cyril to the sky.

Even the local newspapers in Spain just mocked the outrageous shot without any pain, and didn't dare to elaborate. If you talk about it in detail, you can't help but mention Pavon. Mentioning Pavon means satirizing Floren Tino, the media who are biased towards Real Madrid are not planning to kill one hundred enemies and lose eight thousand.The newspapers that are biased towards Atletico Madrid or Barcelona, ​​such as "Mundo Deportivo" and the like, made a big mockery of Real Madrid's defense and set board Cassie, and didn't make much complaints about Cyril's performance.

The nonsense media directly described Cyril as the number one of the younger generation, and the rigorous newspapers carefully analyzed Cyril's technical level, but generally speaking, there was still a lot of praise.

There is also a good thing that the media went to interview Arsenal's head coach Wenger and Manchester United's head coach Sir Alex Ferguson.The two head coaches were unanimously laughing at the media, but they didn't mention anything about the introduction of Cyril.

Secretly, he secretly asked the club to send another offer to Porto.

At the same time, the number of registrations on the Porto fan forum suddenly increased. Apart from Portugal, countless IPs from other countries poured into the forum and joined the discussion of the original Porto fans.

Some are pure fans of Cyril and Mourinho, while others admire Cyril's skills and style on the court. In short, this website that was originally only visited by Porto fans suddenly changed overnight. Got to explode.

"That halftime lob shot was really cool! I just couldn't help but review the match between Porto and the Portuguese youth team. I feel that Cyril is really awesome! Although most of the time it is relatively low-key, but occasionally when it explodes , watching his extraordinary performance has the feeling of performing on the street... he is so handsome!"

"I was lobbed into the fan 1. Although I don't know football very well, I still think that goal is so handsome! The last assist with an own goal and my dazed expression are also very cute hahahaha! I really want to hug and pinch my face. Don't cry, Cyril~ Let's practice hard, and the shooting will definitely improve!"

"I must be the only fan of the picture circle interviewed. The polite and serious feeling of playing people is really cool! But you can't find anything wrong hahahahaha! The reporters on the scene must have been very collapsed at that time~"

"By the way, have you noticed the expression that Cyril winked at Mourinho when the reporter bombarded Real Madrid's coach later? I cried so cute, I feel like a particularly magical Xipi ●w●!"

"Hey, hey, wait up there!! Obviously, the bamboo horse and bamboo horse group is better, okay? qaq is not strictly a bamboo horse, though it's not a bamboo horse... don't bring such a slapstick, ahhh, irritated scratching your head!"

It's just that, now Cyril doesn't have time to pay attention to those newspaper news.

At this moment, he was cornered by the serious Costa, who pointed to the match table of the UEFA Champions League knockout match "Porto vs Manchester United" on the TV screen, with a look of lovelessness on his face.

"Cyril, tell me the truth, have you said something you shouldn't have said?"

Cyril: ...Huh?
