Football God.

Alan Smith looked left and right, and then grabbed Parker who was grinning and grabbing a water glass, ready to pounce on him.

Parker is a young man from England. He usually has a good relationship with Alan Smith. Now his captain hugged his neck and he exaggeratedly shouted: "It hurts!"

"Shut up." It could be heard that Parker was howling there on purpose, and Alan Smith patted Parker's head, feeling that the kid had calmed down before asking in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Parker blinked, with a confused expression on his face: "What?"

"Anthony." Alan Smith said and looked towards Griezmann. At this time, the Frenchman had already struggled out, his hair was slightly disheveled, and his face seemed to be a little red from being pressed, but he jumped straight away with great energy. When he reached Lewand, he laughed and went to brush his hair.

Then Parker smiled and said, "It's nothing. Didn't the boss say that he wants to have a good relationship with the new guy? We made an appointment to shoot together, and those who lose will be punished."

"...Anthony lost?" Alan Smith frowned subconsciously. He remembered that Heinrich was looking for Griezmann's dribbling and shooting skills. Why does he feel something wrong now?

"Yes, yes, let's compare shots to the crossbar, whoever hits the fewest shots loses!"

The confident tone made Alan Smith raise his eyebrows slightly: "Did you guys say you were going to shoot the crossbar after the competition?"

Parker was still smiling: "Yes."

Well, the competition is not the point, the point is that the new kid was tricked by these people.

But Alan Smith didn't say much, but looked at Griezmann, who was making a fuss with his teammates, who didn't seem restrained just now, smiled slightly, and said something that Parker didn't understand.

"Boss, how many other things do I not know about him?"

He didn't want to know the answer to this question. It was only at this moment that Alan Smith was really sure that his coach was good enough, and that was enough.

Heinrich didn't know that Alan Smith's evaluation of himself had risen to a higher level, and he didn't expect that just an unintentional trifle would make this bad boy from England give him precious trust. At this moment, the German Smiling, he said to the reporters who came from afar and gathered around the training ground, "It's really cold today. I kind of miss the sunshine in Munich."

Many people nodded subconsciously, yes, it is not only cold but also very humid. For England, this kind of wet weather is the mainstream.But what they care about is not the weather. Many reporters couldn't help asking: "Hello, Mr. Heinrich, what do you think of this game?"

"Bert, go and get some hot coffee, I think the journalists need this very much." Heinrich did not answer the question immediately, but turned back to Bertlem and waited 5 minutes later , After every reporter was injured holding a paper cup with hot coffee, Heinrich smiled and looked at the camera aimed at himself, "I hope this kind of weather won't last until the game two days later."

This time he got a lot of good-natured smiles, not to mention Heinrich's appearance and conversation are enough points, just talking about this cup of hot coffee is enough to make these uncrowned kings feel infinitely good.

It is said that journalists in England are sharp and scary, as if their pens can determine life and death, but in fact, this job is not easy for many journalists.

I often have to stay for a whole day for a piece of news. During the interview, I will definitely be greeted with disgust and resistance. No matter how thick-skinned people are, they will not like to be always stared at with disgusting eyes.They may violate their conscience for some news headlines, but it is more of personal likes and dislikes.

Many people looked at each other with coffee, and they all heard from colleagues who had interviewed Manchester United against Leeds United that the coach of Leeds United was easy to get along with, but they did not expect to achieve this step...

Heinrich didn't expect to exchange a cup of coffee for these journalists to say good things about Leeds United, but he will definitely not let Leeds United be criticized for these details.

The blond man smiled and looked at the reporter who just asked the question: "I am very confident in this game. Maybe it is disrespectful to say so, but for me, I am here to win! Football Association Cup knockouts, draws and losses are not what I want, all I want is victory."

This sentence sounds very gentle, but the tone is decisive, which made the eyes of many reporters light up.

Yo ho!With coffee and news, this trip is worth it!

So the following reporters and gentlemen rushed out like chicken blood.

"Mr. Heinrich, I'm a reporter from The Times. Do you think Newcastle's combat effectiveness is insufficient?"

Heinrich smiled and tilted his head: "Can they still be better than Manchester United? I don't think so."

"I'm the Daily Mirror! What do you think of Irving's comeback in this game!"

"He's a good player, but he's not my player, so I don't have a problem with that."

But obviously the topic about Irving did not end there: "You used to be teammates with Irving, will you see the touching scene of the reunion of old friends this time?"

"Touching?" Heinrich blinked.

The reporter seemed stunned by the pair of blue-green eyes, coughed first, and then asked, "Maybe you would be willing to give him a friendly hug?"

Heinrich glanced at him, his handsome face was full of intoxicating confusion: "Otherwise...do I still have to go up and kiss him?"

As soon as this sentence came out, some reporters wanted to howl——

Dear!Don't just talk!go!

If you kiss us, we will have headlines for the next week!

But it was obvious that Heinrich would not grant their wishes, and after answering a few more questions, he returned to the hotel under the escort of Bertram.

Given that the team had just passed the game yesterday, and it took a lot of trouble to adapt to the hotel at night, Heinrich canceled the training that night and let the players return to the hotel early to rest.

The room is allocated in groups of two, except that Griezmann and Lewandowski are the pairing requested by Heinrich, and the others can be matched by themselves.

"Young people are easy to communicate." Heinrich explained to Lewand and Griezmann in this way, but he was unwilling to say more.

However, the rest of the players does not mean that the coaching staff can also rest. After dinner, Heinrich returned to the room and stared at the computer screen intently.

Sitting opposite him are assistant coaches Byron and Bertlem respectively. The chubby Mr. Byron is over 50 years old. He was a bodyguard with waist and abdominal muscles and a mermaid line, and sitting opposite him was a tall, thin and well-dressed coach. In comparison, he seemed a bit out of place in sportswear.

How about I go back and order a suit to wear?

Just thinking about it, Heinrich finally made a move: "I can't guarantee victory in this game."

One sentence made Byron sit up straight subconsciously, while Bertram just silently glanced at Heinrich without any movement.

"Sir, then you still said that to the reporter?" Byron was a little puzzled, and subconsciously grabbed the pen in his hand with his fingers.

Heinrich still had a smile on his face: "Although I can't guarantee the result of this game, I always have to work hard for victory. An arrogant team will always make people feel better to deal with."

This is... psychological warfare before the match?

What about the simple and straightforward Germans?Byron felt cheated.

"So we'd better not have any reservations in this game, and send all we can. For Antoine Griezmann and Byron, I don't expect him to integrate into the team in two days, but I hope he can be with the team." There's a lovely connection between Lewandowski."

"Ok sir."

The three of them discussed the tactics and arrangements for the game until one o'clock in the morning. Under Bertram's frowning gaze, Byron left the room wisely.

Heinrich didn't go to sleep immediately, but refreshed the news with his mobile phone.

Bertram took a look. Heinrich was smiling quietly at the news "AC Milan is heavily in debt, Kaka avoided talking about the transfer issue for the first time". Bertram didn't understand the meaning of this. What a joy, just took out the medicine bottle and handed it to Heinrich.

"Can't you forget about this one day?" He said and complained, but Heinrich still took the medicine obediently.

Bertram silently put away the medicine bottle and put it close to his body.

"Sleeping with this? Dear Bert, aren't you afraid of hurting yourself at night?" The blond man who had already changed into his pajamas looked at his bodyguard with a smile on his face.

Bertram glanced at him lightly: "If you haven't secretly thrown away the medicine bottle, sir, I don't think I would do it."

Heinrich coughed lightly, knowing he was wrong, wrapped himself in the blanket and fell asleep.

Bertram turned off the light, opened his eyes, and waited until Heinrich's breathing stabilized before closing them.

===

The weather on the match day was not as clear as Heinrich thought, but became more and more gloomy.

Jack Brown is still in charge of commentating the game. The young BBC commentator is taking the last time to eat bread to replenish his energy.

The FA Cup game is highly praised by the FA, forcing all teams not to treat it negatively, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a disguised punishment from the FA, but for the commentary TV station, the ratings of the FA Cup Not to mention that the rate is not as high as that of the league, and it is even not as good as the focus of some low-level leagues. In addition, the game time is on a weekday afternoon, so not every commentator likes this job that is neither famous nor easy.

Jack Brown became interested in this game because of Leeds United, which defeated Manchester United in the last game. He took the initiative to explain this FA Cup knockout match that did not seem to have any troubles. After the broadcast started, he seemed very excited. : "This game is between Newcastle United and the Championship team Leeds United! In the last game, Leeds United, who had just changed coaches, defeated Manchester United, and now they are ushering in their second FA Cup. Newcastle United, the rivals of the British Championship, do not know whether the myth of Leeds United can continue? Before the game, the head coach of Leeds United, Heinrich, once said that he would give Owen a passionate kiss when he met him. I am curious if this will be true. will be true."

Jack Brown felt that there would not be too many people watching this game, so the commentary was quite casual, but what was different from his imagination was that according to the real-time ratings statistics, this seemingly innocuous Premier League vs. The ratings of the FA Cup match were the highest in the same period!

Among them, there are many who are as stubborn as Ronaldo and want to see where Leeds United is strong. There are also diehard fans on both sides who raise the ratings, and most of the rest of the onlookers focus on——

Is what the media reports true?

I have to say that Heinrich overestimated the integrity of the British journalists. They did say some good things for Leeds United, but they would not give up the opportunity to make headlines.

Although everyone could hear it as a rhetorical question at the time, the reporters were willing to treat themselves as mentally retarded, and directly turned the interrogative sentence into an affirmative sentence and published it in the newspaper!

"Daily Mail: Leeds United coach bluntly misses Owen very much"

"The Guardian: Liverpool striker vs Liverpool genius, a game belonging to the Red Army Liverpool? "

The Sun: The coach of a certain team threatened to kiss the opponent's striker in public!Is it the sublimation of friendship, or the budding of a transfer? "

In order to ensure the quality of training before the game, Leeds United adopted a fully enclosed training, and did not know what was being discussed outside, but Newcastle had no scruples at all.

"Michael, don't you go say hello to the coach on the opposite side?" During the warm-up before the game, Newcastle defender Enrique poked Michael Owen who was juggling the ball beside him.

The chasing boy is no longer young. Owen, who will soon turn [-], left Liverpool and went to Real Madrid, and then returned to the Premier League to join Newcastle. He has experienced several major injuries, but as long as he is healthy enough Be one of the best on the field.

The Englishman, who had seen strong winds and waves, coughed subconsciously when he was ridiculed by his defender, and the ball stuck to his feet was kicked far away.

In Owen's impression, Heinrich is still the young and handsome Liverpool teenager, with superb shooting skills and strong dribbling. At least in Owen's impression, he has not seen such an excellent forward as Heinrich.

And one major injury is enough to destroy a person.

Irving stood up after the injury, but his little teammate just lay down like that, with repeated injuries, and never returned to the green field.

I thought this reunion after a long absence should be very touching, but... due to the hype in the news media before the game, Owen couldn't figure out what Heinrich wanted to do for a while.

Owen wanted to say something to Enrique, but saw the former teammate Heinrich, whom he hadn't seen for many years, walking towards him with open arms with a bright smile.

At this moment, countless eyes gathered on them, and Rooney, who was crowded beside Ronaldo and watched the live broadcast with him, laughed even more: "I said Chris, guess who you want to beat?" Will that blond hair bite Michael in the face!"

Ronaldo curled his lips, picked up a piece of sliced ​​apple and stuffed it into Rooney's mouth.
