[Football] Crown of Thorns

The Portuguese team is only one step away from the European Cup final after defeating the Czech Republic.

After the game, the famous coach Scolari, who once led Portugal to the European Cup final for the first time, expressed the hope that Portugal can go further than in 2004 and win the championship: Of course, I have been supporting them.

Regarding the criticism of C Ronaldo by many media on the second day, Scolari said: Portugal can enter the semi-finals of this European Cup. Ronaldo is undoubtedly an important presence in the team. Corali, who witnessed Ronaldo's growth from fledgling national team rookie to captain's armband leader, spoke highly of the Portuguese ace.Scolari said: He is a very good person, a great friend, he likes to joke, but he is also a great professional player.

Then, although many football celebrities and coaches praised Ronaldo's performance, in many media reports, Ronaldo could not avoid being continuously compared with Messi by fans, even in the European Cup. The opponent's fans often shouted Messi's name to stimulate Ronaldo. Scolari expressed sympathy for this: The only fly in the ointment in Ronaldo's life is Messi. Without him, Ronaldo will be in the fifth consecutive season. The best player in the world.

Finally Scolari pointed out: We can't expect Ronaldo to do everything alone - no one can win the game in that way.

"Captain," Gama stared at Ronaldo lazily lying on the table, "Why do the media like to blackmail you so much?"

Ronaldo, who just took a sip of ice water from his glass, raised his eyebrows and smiled badly, "Because I'm handsome, rich, and capable."

Why do these words sound so familiar?

Gama blinked.

Many people who heard their conversation around burst into laughter, and then the laughter became louder.

At this time, Jia Ma finally remembered that the captain had said something similar in an interview before...

On the second day after the game, the coach gave everyone a day off. Perhaps it was criticized too much before. Most of the Portuguese national team players stayed in the hotel and did not go out. For example, Ronaldo, Gama and other training madmen woke up in the morning They went straight to the fitness room. At lunch time after self-exercise, the sun was shining today, but they were all huddled in the lounge, and they just made up a few tables to play cards.

Gama, this useless guy, not to mention the Chinese style mahjong that is popular in Europe, even the ordinary bridge and 24 points, he only knows the name and does not understand the method. Furtado, who just played for 10 minutes, was disliked Kicked it away, and went to the battle to torture people in person.

Only he and the captain Ronaldo, who is also not very good at playing, were left lying on the sidelines and chatting in a daze.

"Why don't you play table tennis?"

The bored Ronaldo couldn't help but said.

"..."

Gama glanced at Ronaldo and said that Ronaldo is a table tennis master in the national team. Is it true?

We oriental talents are masters at playing small balls!

Thinking of this, Jia Ma also became interested, "Okay!"

There is a desk table at the other end of the lounge. Ronaldo happily picked up the racket and raised his eyebrows at Gama Xiexie.

Is this provocative?

Jia Ma pondered for a second, considering the captain's natural mocking expression, he picked up another racket, "Who will serve first?"

Sure enough, Ronaldo's raised eyebrows were nothing more than habitual excitement, "Guess the punch?"

"OK!"

After the two fought back and forth a few times, Ronaldo became even more excited, "Xiko, you are hiding very deep, and your skills are good!"

"Hehe~"

Gama smiled back, "I never said I couldn't fight!"

The two fought evenly while bickering, until they attracted many teammates to come over and cheer for them.

"Come on Hiko, I'll treat you to ice cream if you win Cristiano."

Coentraan yelled from the sidelines.

Gama, who heard his shouting, sighed, "Fabio."

"how?"

"I heard that you often go to the captain's house to steal food?"

"...Ah, Cristiano, I was wrong!!!"

Coentraan immediately turned his back shamelessly.

Gama was speechless, "Captain, Fabio is really spoiled by you."

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Ronaldo bit his finger childishly and tilted his head in confusion.

Witnessing the habitual cuteness of his captain, Jia Ma felt his heart beating faster——Mom, Mia, I'm a straight man!

After repeatedly emphasizing his psychological training, Jia Ma spread his hands, "Captain, if you keep using Fabio like this, he will really become more and more stupid."

Ronaldo blinked and smiled.

In the end, Gama gave the racket to Coentrao and asked him to play with Ronaldo. He ran to pour a glass of water and continued to read the news.

On the other end, Veloso, who was bloodbathed by Furtado on the card field, exited in disgrace, "Wuwuxico~~"

Gama stretched out his hand and stroked the golden hair on Veloso's head comfortingly, "Hey, I'll treat you to a beer tonight."

Veloso, who was pretending to cry, lay on Gama's shoulder and heyed a few times, "What's the news?"

"It's all gossip and boring content," Gama flipped through the news, "Well, this one is true," he sighed, "Czech national team spokesman Corral revealed to the media that the team's main striker Baros announced Retire from the Czech national team."

"Baroso," Veloso tilted his head and thought for a while, "he is only 30 years old this year!"

"Well," Gama continued to flip through the pages, "Speaking of which, his brightest period was winning the Golden Boot in the European Cup in 2004." Gama couldn't help but look at the people at the bustling table tennis arena , "The Champions League in 2005..."

"2005 Champions League?"

Veloso laughed, then covered his mouth carefully, "Istanbul!"

That year, the club of a Brazilian who was a good friend of his captain was defeated by the Premier League Red Army, and Baros was one of the members that Liverpool won the Champions League.

"Time flies!"

After closing the webpage, Gama sighed.

"Sometimes I think about..."

Veloso was a little dazed, "We will all have such a day, unfortunately..."

After the two were silent for a while, Veloso pushed Gama, "I heard you want to transfer?"

"Where did you hear that?"

Gama rolled his eyes at him.

Veloso cut, "I have my own source of information."

"Hehe~"

"Stop doing this, is it true or not?"

Veloso's voice was played very low.

Staring at his gaze for two seconds, Jia Ma raised his eyebrows, "What, you're going to transfer?"

"Ok!"

Veloso nodded, "My agent told me that several clubs wanted to buy me, but I hesitated."

"Why hesitate?"

"I haven't been a central defender for a long time. From experience, I need more playing time to hone. At this time, the transfer..."

"Worried about playing time?"

"Ok!"

"Miguel," Gama said seriously, "but no matter where you play, this is what you need to worry about!"

"what do you mean?"

"If they really want you, then the other party may not only look at your career change as a central defender, but also your advantage as a midfielder. You have a strong view of the overall situation and a broad vision. I really think you need to go A club with more high-level games to train themselves."

"High level?"

"Like the Champions League or something."

"……I see."

Captain Ronaldo's triumphant laughter came from the table over there, as well as the voices of his teammates booing.

At the poker table here, Furtado swept all directions, defeating a group of teammates.

The sunlight penetrates through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and the warmth on people's bodies is like a warm wind, making people drowsy.

Gama yawned, his eyes wandering, "Miguel."

"what?"

"Do you want to go to the England game?"

"? You want to watch the England game?"

Veloso turned his head sideways, and his breath hit Gama's cheek, making it tickle.

The dazed Jia Ma's eyes became crystal clear because of sleepiness, "Well, I probably..."

Gama, who was talking, yawned, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, and he closed his eyes before he finished speaking.

It was funny to see how he closed his eyes and fell asleep on his side on the table while he was talking, Veloso smiled and stretched out his fingertips to poke Gama's face, I poked, I poked again.

Furtado, who did not know when the game had ended, came over, "He fell asleep."

"No, I fell asleep while talking."

Veloso poked Gama's cheek again amusedly.

His movements made Furtado feel itchy, and he also stretched out his paws, point, I point, I point again~

hehehehe~

The teammates who silently watched over made extremely similar smirks.

Then, someone was the first to pull out the phone, snapping, and the nine-shot burst was freshly released.

Everyone suddenly realized that they took out their mobile phones one after another, and burst shots from various angles were continuously released.

It probably wasn't comfortable to sleep like this, and in addition to hearing various sounds and movements vaguely, in the end it still woke up Jia Ma who was just stunned. After a few yawns, he suddenly woke up - there is a problem!

Looking around, apart from Veloso and Furtado, there are still many teammates gathered together looking at something, talking and muttering something.

"……What happened?"

Gama was at a loss.

"fine."

Furtado put it bluntly.

Veloso smiled subtly, "Just now we saw a beautiful cat, very cute!"

cat?

Jia Ma, who hadn't woken up, was still in a daze, "Is there a cat in the lounge?"

"That's right," Furtado said meaningfully, "a Serval who looks cute but has a bad temper."

???

Gama always felt that something was wrong—the Serval in Portuguese, he remembered, actually meant...

At this time, Jia Ma heard the reminder tone ringing continuously in his mobile phone, and took out the mobile phone.

…………

Gama's trembling hands: Damn, you bastards!

A series of @let Gama know what the weird smiles of Furtado and Veloso mean.

These bastards not only posted the candid photos (teammates: What candid photos? They were taken in a fair and honest manner) online, but also used photo editing software to draw cat ears and cat whiskers on his head and face, and some guys even wrote on the side What are the words "cute kittens", "wild cats at home", "little babies who sleep late" and so on.

And in the following replies and posts, there are many replies who have lost their conscience and have no three views...

Hehehe, bastard, a bunch of bastards who want to die!

You guys, wait for me! ! !

Gama gritted his teeth.

*Portuguese Serval refers to serval cat, Portuguese means "a wolf like a deer" - slender body, slender limbs, long neck, plus a pair of oversized ears that are close together, so the Portuguese use this words to describe it.

*The above, so, you understand~~hehe~
