[Football] Crown of Thorns

Veloso, who was asked by the captain of his national youth team to pick up Gama, just stared at Gama all the way until Gama turned his head from the window to look back at him.

"Miguel, you and Ann have a very good relationship!"

Gama, who had nothing to say, had no choice but to ask Veloso, who was staring at him.

"Well, Ann is a player for Benfica."

Veloso answered the question without answering the question.

Gama was stunned for a moment, blinked twice and then asked slowly, "Sporting Club and Benfica Club are also sworn enemies!"

As a rookie of the first team of Sporting Lisbon and a key training target, Veloso and Furtado, the defenders of the first team of the Benfica club, have a very good relationship. Does this count as good friends called by those girls to go together?

Hearing Gama's question, Veloso was stunned. He opened his mouth and didn't know how to react for a while. At this time, the middle-aged man in the front driver's seat burst out laughing. He laughed very boldly. Not only laughed, but also slapped the steering wheel vigorously, and Veloso yelled repeatedly in fright.

"Papai, Papai, look ahead, look ahead!!!"

He was introduced by Veloso after joining the car just now, and the middle-aged man driving was his father, Antonio Veloso.

Seeing the man laughing uncontrollably at this time, Gama found it very strange. He remembered that foreigners are very firm in their favorite football clubs, like fathers and sons, and sons and grandchildren. They are the same as clubs to rival fans. All mortal enemies must be resolutely confronted. What is going on with Miguel? He belongs to Sporting Lisbon, but he has a good relationship with Benfica's Furtado. Could it be that his father is one of the rare ones who does not support his son's team? Kind of fans?

Little Veloso looked at your father helplessly, and then replied, "Gama, I thought you belonged to the high-cold school, but now I know you are the cute type."

"What do you mean?"

Gama blinked and asked puzzled.

At this time, the old Veloso in the front seat laughed even louder. He laughed and looked up at the mirror, "Boy, you are so cute, I have decided to like you now."

what does this mean?

Gama pursed her lips.

"Boy, I'm a Benfica fan, the die-hard kind."

Without waiting for the little Veloso to say anything, the old Veloso introduced himself solemnly.

Ah, he guessed right, Miguel's father is actually a fan of Benfica Club, this father must be his real father!

Gama glanced at his poor teammate and decided to treat Miguel better in the future.

Little Veloso, who was so angry with his father, was very helpless, "Gama, don't you really know?"

"what do you know?"

Gama looked bewildered. Did the former Gama know that he didn't know? Anyway, he, a poor boy with only Leizi's memory, was really not familiar with Portuguese football, so it was useless to ask him.

Veloso Jr. rolled his eyes and shrugged, "My father used to be an international player, and his career was basically spent at the Benfica club."

"what!"

Gama understood, "Then why are you not from Benfica? I remember you were from the youth training of Sporting Lisbon."

As a result, Gama's question made Veloso Jr. laugh a little awkwardly, "Isn't it true that the Benfica club didn't want me back then?"

"...don't want you?"

Gama was astonished.

How can someone who can be kicked out of the Sporting Lisbon youth training camp have no talent, not to mention that the old Veloso is a famous star of the Benfica club. Miguel, who has such a connection and talent, was not selected for the Benfica club youth team—— Don't say that foreigners don't care about relationships - what an international joke!

Seeing Gama's surprised expression and hearing his father's laughter in front of him, little Veloso was annoyed, "Anyway, you can find out if you want to. I was a fat guy before I was 12 years old, and I was overweight. I went to tryouts. Benfica didn't want me back then, I went to the Sporting Lisbon youth academy in a fit of anger and I stayed and played like that until now."

Doesn't this sound a bit like the kind of refreshing stalk of novels that slap your face and upgrade it!

Gama blinked, "Hehe, now you have not only played but also been selected for the national team, does Benfica have any regrets?"

Little Veloso gave him a white look, "Then how would I know?"

"In this way, if you enter the Benfica club, you will be the same teammate as Ann!"

"That's about the same. Although we are not in the same club, the two of us have played all the way from the U14 national youth team to the national youth team. The relationship is naturally familiar."

"I see."

Jia Ma nodded, they are also considered as good friends, no wonder they have such a good relationship.

An is a central defender, Miguel is a left back, and sometimes plays a defensive midfielder. In addition, after so many years of cooperation, the relationship between the two is naturally very good.

Of course, Gama glanced at Miguel again. This kid has golden-brown hair and is handsome. No wonder An's face-loving faction has a good relationship with him.

"What are you thinking?"

His body was inexplicably cold, why did little Veloso feel that the way Gama looked at him was not right.

"It's nothing, I just envy you."

"envious?"

Little Veloso gave Gama a strange look, but seeing that Gama didn't want to explain, he didn't ask any more questions.

Veloso himself lives in an apartment not far from the Rees Sporting Club, while his parents and sister live near the Benfica Club. This time because of his selection to the national team, the old Veloso came to pick him up.

Knowing that he was probably going home to reunite with his family, Gama asked if there was a convenient hotel near his parents' house for him to stay overnight.

However, the hospitable old Veloso warmly invited Gama to stay at his house for one night.

"Don't worry, my house has a guest room, so I can live there."

Arriving at Veloso's house, this is a typical Portuguese house in a residential area. The house with fiery red peaks and bluestone curtains is just like the enthusiasm of people, as warm as fire and as warm as water.

"me!"

As soon as he got out of the car, Veloso rushed towards the woman standing in front of the door.

Jia Ma noticed that his attitude towards his mother was completely different from his attitude towards his father. His father called his mother very politely, but he called his mother very intimately. Tsk, I heard that most foreign players are obsessed with mothers and sisters, and it is true—— Jia Ma slandered, but completely forgot that now he is actually a member of the Sister Lover.

"This is Gama, my teammate."

"This is my mother, Teresa."

Gama, who was pulled over and introduced, smiled at the smiling woman, and was introduced to a little beauty.

"My sister Raquel."

The cute little girl raised her head to look at Jia Ma, who smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to hold the little girl's hand, and gave a hand kiss.

"Hi, I'm José Francisco da Gama, my noble little princess."

Seeing Gama's action, little Veloso's face turned green, and he rushed over to knock off Gama's hand, "Hey, stay away from my sister."

As a result, the lovely little princess Raquel put her hand back into Gama's hand in a tender voice, "You are so handsome, can you be my knight?"

"Of course, no problem." Jia Ma smiled slightly, "It is my honor to be honored as a princess."

So the arrogant Raquel led Gama into her lovely home proudly by the hand.

The elder brother who was left in place stretched out his hand, but he could only drop it powerlessly.

His mother Teresa covered her mouth and laughed and her whole body was trembling, but his own father just said with a relaxed face, "It's all right now, I don't have to look at your face anymore, Raquel always said you are handsome Don’t want me to accompany you, hehe~~~”

Poor brother Miguel: I knew it, and I shouldn't have listened to that bastard Ann and helped Gama.asshole!

Spent a happy night at Veloso's house. Early the next morning, the old Veloso drove the two to the training base in the small town of Obidos, north of Lisbon.

Although the old Veloso may not be well-known among foreign fans, he is still known by many people as an older generation of international players in Portugal. A newcomer, many reporters squatting in front of the base surrounded him.

After saying hello to the reporters he knew well, and saying a few words casually, the old Veloso escorted the two young men into the base.

Old Veloso stood at the door and watched the two young men walk in with their luggage on their backs, his eyes were inexplicably sore.

Looking back at the figure of the old Veloso, Gama poked the younger one, "Your father is still standing there!"

"It's okay, let's go!"

Little Veloso walked a few steps faster.

Looking at the background where he was rushing forward, Jia Ma pursed his lips and smiled.

At this moment, he is really envious!

Uncle Bento is actually quite handsome, with short shaved hair and the suit on his body. It is said that men are the most handsome in uniforms. In fact, men with good figure are also very handsome in suits.

Gama silently looked at the coach he would get along with in the next three days, and at the same time, he also noticed Bento's eyes looking at him.

Bento has been under a lot of pressure this month, from being the head coach of the Benfica club to the head coach of the national team, from the fans of a club to the head coach that all the fans in the country are staring at. The pressure really made Bento a little nervous.

In the previous World Cup qualifiers, the Portuguese team played "just a bunch of shi"-this is the comment of various media on the previous record.

Now the Portuguese team is facing the final battle of life and death.

So Bento didn't dare to be careless at all. He wanted to pick 35 people from the 23-man roster to play in the final play-offs.

What the Football Association requires of him is to win.

I used to see Queiroz lead the team in a mess, and I could still yell at him for nothing, but now he has become the coach of the national team, heh, only scolded!

This month, Bento has been questioned by the Football Association, the media, and people from all walks of life. This is why a 30-man roster has been selected to participate in this warm-up match. It will be the last warm-up match before the playoffs. , being chased by all kinds of people has become the norm.

But even under such circumstances, Bento still called up two young national youth players under pressure.

A defensive midfielder and a midfielder are the most needed positions on the Portuguese team.

At present, the biggest player in the Portuguese team is C Ronaldo. His condition is good, but no matter how good he is, it is useless to rely on him alone.

The former twin star Quaresma is not in good condition now. Although he is still on the list, Bento feels that he is really not very useful. In addition, the defender Bosingwa was accidentally injured, which caused him to be in this game and the subsequent play-offs. Unable to participate, the performance of Moutinho, Petit, and veterans Duda and Maniche were not satisfactory. Bento decided to use this warm-up match to watch again. Replace them all.

In this way, there are fewer people who can consider it.

So after hearing the recommendation from the media and friends, Bento did watch the broadcast of the World Youth Championship.

He saw Gama's performance at a glance.Veloso has been recommended before and his name is already on the list.

But Jiama is different. He is a newcomer who just emerged. Bento is not sure if he can really be used.

However, in the current situation, Bento decided to call in to have a look, so let's fight!

Now, it depends on whether the young player he picked is worthy of his expectations.
