football superstar

The winter break in Spain is neither long nor short.

Compared with Germany, which is very beautiful and "frozen" in winter, Spain is a little warmer, and the winter break is shorter than Germany.But compared to the Premier League, which does not rest until Christmas, La Liga players are still very lucky.

However, in order to maintain the team's competitive state, many La Liga teams will start to gather players in the week after Christmas and find some opponents for friendly matches.One is to help the team in training, and the other is to allow some players who came to the team during the winter transfer window to adapt with other teammates.

There will also be exchanges between some well-connected wealthy teams, and some clubs will conduct away games in order to help clubs with a poor economy in their country and help them obtain ticket revenue to survive the economic crisis. Of course, this does not include There are no Premier League teams during the winter break.

Deportivo and Real Madrid are no exception. Kaka returned to the club on the third day after Christmas, and Clemens also returned to Deportivo on the same day.

The Clemenses did not follow their son to Deportivo, but stayed in Madrid with Bosco and Simeone, and bought tickets to watch Real Madrid's friendly match during the winter break.Clemens, who was completely ignored by his parents, was not jealous, and returned to the club after saying goodbye.

But leaving Clemens so quickly, he naturally didn't know that Ronaldo uploaded a picture on Twitter. After he got on the train and turned on his phone, he saw that Ronaldo had specially circled him, so he opened it look.

The little Chris was sitting on the sofa, covered with a snow-white net, his little paws were tightly grasping the edge of the net, and there was a cute little smile on his little face.And Ronaldo is accompanied by text:

'Thanks for the Christmas gift, I think I could totally use this to make a hammock in the yard, Chris would love it. [Smile]'

Many people were stunned when they saw this picture.

How to give someone a child a tennis net for Christmas?What kind of stalk is this, please explain, the baby can't understand...

And Clemens was also a little confused, he knew that when he showed this to Ronaldo, that person looked a little unhappy. This Real Madrid superstar always writes his emotions on his face, which is not difficult to observe, but Today, he actually put on social media to express his gratitude to himself, which made Clemens a little confused.

But the onlookers below didn't know the details, one or two expressed their happiness.

'Sure enough, he is a male god, and the gifts are so distinctive. '

"Thomas is the goalkeeper, and he sent Master Luo to hit a net. Doesn't this tell Master Luo clearly that he can score more goals in the future?" '

'Is it a goal to send little Chris to the net?You have a big brain! '

'Who told you to call Chris a football!People's football is black and white!My boss Ke is black! '

'ls your advanced black 2333'

"But why do I always feel that this net is very familiar? Touching my chin, I always feel that I have forgotten something..."

'Come on, let me remind you: the male god cut the net, just at Camp Nou, he tore off the net player after he won the club champion with zero seals, if you don't believe me, I will show you the picture Handsome] [Sixi's eyes are bright]'

'... So, Thomas gave Luo Ye the net that he tore off at the Nou Camp? ! ! ! '

'Damn it's so powerful! '

'No wonder Lord Luo is so happy, if it were me I would be happy too!The net of the sworn enemy!You can laugh out loud just looking at it! '

"I want to take back what I said before. I was wrong. I thought Thomas was unhappy seeing Lord Luo. I thought Thomas hated Real Madrid. Or am I too young, too young. This kind of deep friendship to send the net is simply touching." !Come on, Thomas! halamadrid! '

"Don't dare to poach people casually... Toto belongs to Laco!" '

'Speaking of which, I'm starting to be curious. The gifts Thomas gave to little Chris are so meaningful, so what kind of gifts will he give to the recipient? '

The fans discussed it brilliantly, and many players also began to post the gifts from Clemens. The gifts from Mr. Daochang were really different, and they were really a beautiful landscape.

Leo Messi: Thank you Thomas, but I think this one is for Thiago? [Dinosaur shape baby crawling clothes]

Nelson: Thomas, come out to me! [La Coruña Vegetarian Store One-Year Coupon] What does it mean!You arrogant guy who eats meat casually, I will fight you when I come back!

Manuel: Compared to Nelson's, mine looks really good [red tie you deserve]

Rich: Mine is pretty good too [you deserve the blue tie]

Among them, the only one who did not comment on Clemens' gift was Kaka.

The Son of God, who was changing his training clothes in the locker room and getting ready to play, took a look at the wooden box he put in the innermost box before closing the cabinet door. Inside was a piece of yellow paper with strange runes written in red cinnabar. Kaka didn't know what was written on it, but Clemens solemnly gave it to Kaka as a Christmas present.

"This will protect you from disaster."

"Like a cross?"

"I think it will be more useful than a cross."

As a very firm believer in the Lord's belief, Kaka will not change his belief casually, but he is used to believing in Clemens' kindness to him.

After thinking about it, Kaka still took out the small wooden box, took out the small paper bag folded with yellow paper hanging from a red string, hung it around his neck, stuffed it inside the training clothes, and then closed the cabinet. Training Course.

Clemens, who was about to go to the Deportivo training ground, felt his heart warm up. He reached out and pressed the yellow talisman there, and then walked into the locker room with a calm expression.

It was still early for the first friendly match in Deportivo, and the players who returned to the club were not uniform. Many non-Spanish players returned home to reunite with their families on Christmas. Some of them are Spanish players.Among them, Nelson, the Portuguese striker, was particularly eye-catching. He was sitting and running with the ball in a hat and around his neck. When he saw Clemens, Nelson seemed very happy, and he ran over in a few strides. A big hug from Clemens.

Clemens hugged him back politely, and then Nelson said, "It's good to see you, Thomas, come and help me keep the goal! I'm going to score your goal this time!"

But before the words were finished, Vazquez shouted over there: "Nelson, come over here and continue! Thomas hasn't done warm-up exercises yet, why are you in a hurry!"

It was only then that Clemens noticed that the old coach Vazquez was also standing on the sidelines of the training field, looking towards this side with a serious face, while Nelson let go of Clemens with a smile, and continued to run with the ball.There is an elastic belt around his waist, which is specially pulled by an assistant coach at the back, which makes Nelson use his strength in every step and fully exercise the strength of his calf.

Clemens went to say hello to Vazquez and went to the side to do warm-up training, fully exercising his muscles, and then waved to Nelson.

Nelson seemed very excited. After a few words with the assistant coach, he ran over with the ball and put it on the penalty spot. He himself ran to the left side, strode forward and cut inside in disguise, and then Only then vigorously pumped on the ball.

Clemens took a step to the right and blocked the ball with his hand. Since Clemens usually trains with Nelson, Clemens is very familiar with Nelson's shooting method, but this kind of palm Clemens was still amazed by the numb strength.

He looked at Nelson, and found that the gluttonous Portuguese not only didn't gain weight during the holidays, but lost some weight. He obviously had never stopped training. Clemens couldn't help but said, "It looks like the Christmas present I gave you It's useless."

Nelson gave Clemens a stern look as he fiddled with the ball, and then his eyes turned to envy.

He saw himself being forced to eat all kinds of grass by his coach more than once because his body fat percentage exceeded one percentage point, and his life was as miserable as a rabbit. The only meat he had was roasted dry chicken breasts, which made him seriously suspicious The nationality of the chef is England.Thomas, on the other hand, ostentatiously ate all kinds of meat by his side, adding seasonings at will, and the delicious taste made Nelson want to go crazy.

He wanted to give the veggie coupons sent by Clemens to his teammates who had gained a few pounds, but in the end he was reluctant, so Nelson just kept silent and continued to take the ball and shoot.

The shooting training lasted for 10 minutes, which is not long, but it was a physical test for Clemens and Nelson.

Nelson is high-intensity continuous shooting and running without the ball, while Clemens needs to focus and concentrate, which is not easy.So after 10 minutes, Vazquez let the two of them take a break.Clemens hadn't trained systematically for a week, so he didn't force himself right now. He just took a bottle of water and leaned against the goal post to drink, but Nelson was one of those dummies who stretched his legs and stood up again. I have practiced beside others, and the level of effort is staggering.

Clemens blinked, squeezed the glove on his hand, and then heard Vazquez's voice next to his ear: "Do you think Nelson is working harder than before?"

When he looked outside, he saw that Vazquez had stood beside him with his hands behind his back.

Clemens nodded after hearing this. In fact, although Nelson trained very hard in the past, but because he was talented enough and the team relied on him to score, Nelson didn't like to give himself extra training casually.But now, Vazquez didn't force him, but Nelson increased the amount himself, which really surprised Clemens.

Vazquez also looked at Nelson over there, with his usual gentle smile on his face, but his complicated eyes revealed some thoughts.

Players have a winter break, and so do coaches, but Vazquez has much less time to rest than his own players.

The day after Christmas, the old coach came to the Riazor Stadium, planning for the winter signings.He can choose a lot of players, Chairman Rendoiro is not always so generous, Vazquez will naturally not waste this opportunity to supplement reinforcements.

In fact, before the winter break, he had already drawn up a list, which included all the players he liked, but this does not mean that he can bring whoever he likes to the club.The problem of funds makes it impossible for Deportivo to get top stars, and many of the players that Vazquez likes are important members of the team. It is impossible for them to sell the important members of the team casually. , which must have the efforts of the club.

Deportivo's transfer manager is Lucero. The Spaniard who gave Vazquez a bad look has not been abandoned by the club. Thanks to his efforts, he still stays in the club. Sailo once again made Vazquez unhappy, and he was very inactive in handling transfer negotiations.

Vazquez didn't hesitate. He went directly to Chairman Rendoiro and asked to talk to the player he was looking for, which meant that he had crossed Lucero's rights.

Rendoiro agreed to Vazquez's request and sent Lucero to the second team. He may have to work hard to come back.

Vazquez has been spending the past few days observing and lobbying. Some young players are just at the time when they have dreams and ambitions. They have not received too many honors, but they have excellent abilities and inestimable potential. Vazquez likes it, so he will take the initiative to contact these little monsters to show his importance and add weight to future transfer negotiations.

Now that Vazquez has made his own choice, a deal that satisfies him has also been put on the negotiating table, and it is only the last step.

Clemens didn't know this, and the flow of personnel between clubs was nothing new, but unless a final decision was made, it would not be easily mentioned.Those players who casually yelled that they were going to leave, either they really couldn't stay any longer, or they threatened their clubs to raise their salaries, after all, they were only a minority.

However, Clemens had his own thoughts: "Sir, will Nelson still be there next season?"

Vazquez glanced at Clemens, hesitated, and finally decided to tell him frankly: "It's hard to say next season, but Nelson will not leave now."

Clemens nodded. Nelson was the most comfortable striker in the game for him to receive the pass. If Nelson leaves, it will be a loss for Clemens.

However, Vazquez obviously didn't finish his words. For the old coach, Clemens, the goalkeeper he brought up from the second team, is his confidant, and he can naturally be trusted, so Vazquez must tell Clemens some The thing: "I found a good player, very young, just 21 years old like Nelson, but their positions overlap, so when he comes, it is likely that you will not like Nelson very much. Now the team has young people. Not much, I hope you can help him then."

New players naturally need a running-in period when they come to the team, and Vazquez also lays a solid foundation for future new players.

Clemens nodded calmly, and then heard Vazquez sigh with emotion: "Nelson is a good player, but his agent is really troublesome. I have never seen such a troublesome one."

Agents should be considered for the players. Those who require frequent transfers of players for commissions must not be good agents.

Clemens remembered the words from Mendes. He looked at Nelson, who was working hard over there, and returned to the locker room when Vazquez went to take care of other players. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. .

After connecting, Clemens said calmly, "Hi, Jorge, Merry Christmas."

Mendes, who was on vacation next to the beautiful beach, smiled and waved to his beautiful daughter. His expression remained the same, but he said to Clemens on the opposite side of the phone: "My dear Thomas, you finally have time to talk to her." I got in touch."

This kind of seemingly complaining but not much resentment clearly shows that Mendes is not angry, but Clemens still replied: "I'm sorry, Jorge."

Mendes has figured out the temper of his players, and sighed helplessly: "Then tell me, do you know what you did?"

Clemens said calmly, "I don't know."

Okay, okay, if my child doesn't know, do I still want him to guess?Mendes had already realized when he signed this little boring gourd.

The Portuguese agent Ju Crocodile took a sip of the juice on the side, and then said: "Some reporters are very hateful. When they talk nonsense, you need to ask me for help, so that the impact will be minimized."

"I see." Mr. Daochang agreed, and then added, "I am very grateful for your concern." That report did not continue to heat up in the later period, and it must be due to Mendes.

Mendes accepted Clemens' thanks generously, and then said, "Call me, what's the matter?"

"Yes, Jorge, I want to recommend a player to you."

Mendes immediately became interested. The young player he signed is really a lucky star. He brought Kaka to him, a healthy Kaka. This is the most proud achievement of Mendes this year. .Now that Clemens has another recommendation, Mendes will naturally not be scornful, and asked with a smile, "Thomas, tell me his name."

"Nelson Oliveira."

Mendes knows this person. The Portuguese striker, who was first loaned out by Deportivo and then bought out, has been troubled by injuries, so although he was selected for the U19 squad, he rarely played. Mendes has always ignored it. I remembered him, and now I remembered this person when Clemens mentioned it.

Quickly making calculations in his heart, Nelson now has an agent, and it will take a lot of effort to snatch him over to Mendes, and Mendes has a scale in his heart, and he has to measure whether he will get what he deserves. Interests.

After a few seconds of silence, Mendes said: "I will try it out, thank you for your recommendation, Thomas, remember to tell me about such a good player in the future."

Clemens just wanted to help Nelson stay where he should be, instead of being disturbed by his agent. In his opinion, Mendes is a good agent. Since Mendes is good, then he Naturally, he will recommend some players he likes.

After some more words, Clemens hung up the phone, and then prepared to leave the locker room to spend some time on the indoor fitness equipment.

But when he walked up to the second floor, Clemens saw the team's assistant coach Fernandez head-on, and a blond boy beside Fernandez.

He looks very young, only about 20 years old, but he obviously pays attention to taking care of himself. He has short blond hair and is dressed in casual clothes. He is talking to Fernandez next to him with a relaxed smile on his handsome face. , and when he saw Clemens head-on, the blond boy stopped and looked at Clemens.

Blonde hair and blue eyes are really a very common look, but Clemens's eyes are as blue as sea water. This boy's eyes are like turquoise, with extra focus.

Fernandez was obviously stunned by Clemens here, but he knew Clemens' status in the team. He is a very stable player, so Fernandez didn't pretend not to look at it. When he arrived, he ignored the past and said with a smile: "Merry Christmas, Thomas, it's nice to see you."

Clemens nodded to Fernandez, and then saw the boy walking towards him.

He stretched out his hand to Clemens: "My name is Antoine Griezmann, hello, Thomas." He smiled at himself first, "I used to play in Real Sociedad, I didn't have a chance I think it will be my luck to be your opponent, but to be your teammate first."

Clemens has always been serious about shaking hands. He shook Griezmann's hand and said: "Thomas Clemens, welcome to Deportivo."

Griezmann was smiling, and there was some obvious happiness on his handsome face.

Although Clemens has not been in La Liga for a long time, many people have gradually begun to like him. Griezmann is one of them. In fact, he also has this consideration in coming to Deportivo.

After all, no one knows the fear that Clemens brings to people better than the striker. Griezmann feels that it is a good thing to be his teammate first before he is confident in breaking his goal. Great place for him to get more exercise.

The next day, Deportivo held a press conference, announcing that they had signed the former Real Sociedad player, French star Antoine Griezmann, who had passed the club's medical examination yesterday, and the official website was updated simultaneously This news, and looking forward to the future performance of this new aid.

Nelson, who was supposed to be worried about his position, didn't have the time to think about it so much. After receiving a call, he jumped on Clemens and muttered softly, "Thomas, Mr. Mendes has contacted me. Mr. Mendes! It is your agent, Mr. Mendes! He said that I am very optimistic about me and wants to sign me!"

Clemens looked calm: "Congratulations, you look very happy."

"Of course I am very happy!" To be favored by Mendes is to step into the gate of the national team with one foot!Nelson now almost wants to kick that hapless agent who is messing around right now.

Clemens didn't tell Nelson that he had recommended him to Mendes, but Mendes didn't want Clemens to be an anonymous person, so he quickly revealed it to Nelson.The young Portuguese jumped on Clemens again in full view, but before he could do anything, Clemens threw him into the net again.

This scene caused the surrounding teammates to burst into laughter, and also stunned Griezmann, who had just followed coach Vazquez into the training ground, his eyes were on Nelson, who was struggling in the net and screaming. After freezing for a few seconds, he turned his head and asked Vazquez in a low voice: "Sir, do they always do this?"

Vazquez laughed twice, then turned his head and gritted his teeth to look at the shameful guys inside.

Before the winter break, one or two started acting like monsters. I thought you could behave a little better, Nelson, but why are you still acting like this now!I also kidnapped Thomas. If he is like you in the future, I will let you know what the fear of being noticed by the drinking fountain is!

"The whole team! Twenty laps! Nelson, you have 25 laps!"

The atmosphere of the training ground, which was originally filled with laughter, immediately changed. These Deportivo players greeted Griezmann with howls, and this handsome French boy had only one thought at the moment.

The style of painting is wrong. Hey, what about the promised passion and positive attitude?It was agreed that he would never give in to the spirit of iron and blood, what's the matter with being so funny!

Clemens, good god, what do you mean by smiling so gratifyingly now? Hey!

Coach, while it's still early, it's too late for me to regret it!

===

The running-in period of the team is not too long. What Vazquez pursues is mutual running-in in the game. The pure team training game cannot fully judge the level, so the Deportivo Club contacted a friendly match .

The choice of opponents for friendly matches needs to be very cautious. Generally, teams are trying to adapt themselves and will not choose very strong opponents.And this time the club is not only out of the consideration of the strength of the club, but also to help the financial construction of a West C club for friendship. All the ticket revenue of this friendly match belongs to the opponent.

This kind of match is naturally welcomed by the opponent, so this friendly match was quickly finalized.

So, before the end of the winter break, Deportivo went to Santander, Cantabria, to play away against Real Tanzand.
