Chapter 12 - The Shame of the 1st Team

The game ended with a 3-0 home victory for the Deportivo youth team. Before the end, Rodri scored another goal, and it was still Clemens who assisted him.

This created a very interesting scene. In a short game, Clemens set a record of 0 goals conceded as a goalkeeper and became the third player in the youth team in assists.

However, after the game, Clemens did not participate in the celebration of the youth team, but prepared to go to the training base to practice saving.He loved the sport of chasing the ball, and Clemens became obsessed with blocking goal after goal to help his team win.

Fans roared, teammates celebrated wildly, and at the end of the game, everyone chanted Clemens' name.

It was a clear, unrestrained enthusiasm that made Clemens' blood boil.

He likes this feeling, and hopes that this feeling will last forever, so he walked towards the training ground, not fast or slow,

The uncle goalkeeper at the training ground is called George. He is a diehard of Deportivo. The gray-haired Uncle George has experienced the era of Super Deportivo, and he insists that Deportivo can still recast its glory.

This loyal fan uncle even found a position in Deportivo for his job. He is concerned about the hope of the team and the hope of the future every day. They are working hard here. Uncle George can tell The name of each of them, he treats all the players like his own children.

Just after watching the broadcast of the youth team game, Uncle George waved his arms excitedly to cheer for victory, but just as he was about to buy a bottle of beer and wait for the first team game to start, he saw him walking slowly towards the training ground with a ball in his arms. Clemens.

The current Clemens is not well-known in Spain, but he is the darling of La Coruña. George recognized this handsome young man at a glance.

"Hey, Thomas, why are you here?" It stands to reason that the club will give a day or two of vacation after winning the game. They are all good teenage boys, and they always want to let them have time to relax.

But for Clemens, who has been abstaining from desires for hundreds of years, all he can think of in entertainment programs is to play chess around the stove and talk about Taoism. It's a pity that foreign Taoists don't like these two things.

"I'm here to practice." Clemens said with a serious face.

"But there is no one in the training base, how do you practice?" Uncle George kindly reminded.

Clemens was stunned for a moment, and then he realized belatedly that he is a goalkeeper, at least he must have someone who kicks and shoots, otherwise what would he practice by himself...

The tangled Clemens obviously put Uncle George in a good mood. He stretched out his arms and hugged Clemens' shoulders, and said very enthusiastically: "Listen to me, Thomas, since you're here, sit with old George. , the game is about to start, it's a good choice for us to watch the game together." After finishing speaking, he took Clemens into the room.

Clemens didn't refuse, since he couldn't find anything to do now anyway.

After he entered, Old George got busy. After the snacks were set, Old George asked Clemens, "What do you want to drink?" His voice paused after he finished speaking, "I won't give you a drink. .” As he spoke, he pushed the beer in the refrigerator into it.

Clemens looked at old George with blue eyes and asked him, "Thank you, milk."

It must be a good boy who is obediently drinking milk now.

Old George naturally had a better impression of Clemens by a few percentage points. Older people always prefer a well-behaved young man.

When Clemens held a glass cup with both hands and sipped the milk in it, the broadcast screen began to change, shifting from the live broadcast room to the field.Old George also stopped his busy work, sat next to Clemens with a bottle of beer, and looked at the screen excitedly.

"How many do you think we will win? I guess 2:1. After all, we won Real Madrid." It seems that the old George still has a lot of expectations under the premise of understanding the strength of the team.

Clemens did not speak, because he was not familiar with Atletico Madrid, and he only had one match with Deportivo, so he had no idea what the result would be.

But as the game started and went on, as Clemens stepped off the field and sat in front of a screen, he got a sense of the disparity between the two teams in a brutal and shocking way.

The bright 0:8 was hung on the big screen of the stadium. Thousands of Atletico Madrid fans who came to the away game were wildly celebrating the victory, while the Deportivo fans at home were dead silent.

Old George had lost his voice after the game. When the first goal was kicked in, he jumped up anxiously. At the second and third, he began to mutter and complain about Vazquez finding a goalkeeper. It was like a paste, but when the seventh and eighth balls came, Old George was already lying on his back in the chair, drinking beer without saying a word.

Clemens put the empty glass on the table, his blond hair was still bright under the setting sun, his blue eyes were as calm and steady as the sea: "Uncle George, it seems that your prediction was not accurate."

Old George was pulled back to his senses by these words, and he sat up suddenly from his chair, his face flushed, and he didn't know whether he had drunk too much or was angry.He pulled his hair, looked at Clemens and asked, "Little Thomas, would it be the same if you were the goalkeeper?" Old George didn't even want to mention the score.

Clemens looked calm, even though he wasn't on the field, but the few goals clearly appeared in the box called TV: "No."

Old George was not comforted, but was annoyed and wanted to smash the TV with a beer bottle: "Then why didn't they let you play! You performed so well, but they want to remove you!"

Clemens said nothing, just went ahead and poured yourself a glass of milk.

He felt that the day when he would go back would come soon.

"shame! "

This is the headline on the front page of the daily newspaper of A Coruña.

The person in charge of this news report is the female reporter who interviewed Clemens last time. She described the entire game in detail. Then, as the mouthpiece of the Deportivo club, the female reporter questioned Clemens with sharp questions. Laughed at Deportivo Club's mistake in goalkeeper selection.

"Obviously Deportivo have forgotten their biggest hero in the game against Real Madrid, the teenager Clemens. In the case of the main goalkeeper's red card suspension, they chose a 40-year-old goalkeeper who is at home. An unbelievable choice, maybe a novel tactical method? But obviously Vazquez's choice is invalid.

"Compared to this 0:8 tragic loss, in the final youth team game, Deportivo's youth team defeated Atletico Madrid, Clemens is still brilliant, his state is still brave, and he is still in good shape. Made two direct assists.

"If Deportivo are doubting Clemens' status, then Clemens can use the game to prove that he is fully capable of being the goalkeeper of the first team.

"It can't be worse than it is now, can it?"

It has to be said that the team’s mouthpiece, the newspaper, has almost become a tradition in La Liga. It seems that the Spanish newspapers practice “use slaps in the face to wake up the fighting spirit of the home team”.

And this report did have the effect of slapping the face, and the originally angry fans were instantly ignited!

shame?It is indeed a disgrace!

In Deportivo's team history, the biggest score was a 0:7 loss to Barcelona, ​​but now, they have broken this record with eight goals!A total of eight!There is one more than summoning the dragon!

The angry fans were easily incited, and the female reporter who had a crush on Clemens sent a message to all readers in this article in a cryptic way that all journalists would use:

Maybe things would have been different if Clemens had been there.

The furious Deportivo fans repeated the same sentence over and over on Twitter and forums: We want Clemens!Give us Clemens back!

In two full days, La Coruña's official website almost collapsed, messages were posted one by one, and finally had to be temporarily closed.

But none of the bloodbath affected Clemens. When he was thinking about what to eat for dinner in his small apartment, someone knocked on the door.

"Hi, I'm Fernando Melkel, the transfer manager of Atlético de Madrid, can I chat with you?"
