Frenzy [football]

It's bound to be a busy summer for those who make it to the World Cup finals.

Busy, but also enough to make people feel excited and full of expectations for the future.

In addition to the European leagues, leagues on other continents have to make way for this quadrennial event.What they need is not one month, but two months.

Because one month before the start of the World Cup, the 32 national teams participating in the World Cup finals have already summoned all the players that the head coach thinks he needs. The head coaches of the 32 national teams need to make these players who do not play or train together on weekdays into a whole, and have a certain tacit understanding and know how to cooperate with each other tactically.

The head coach needs to knead the players with different personalities together without losing their respective characteristics on the football field.

Before leaving for the Chinese national team training base in Beijing again, Lei Yi said to his mother: "Help me pack everything in the house! After playing this World Cup, I will go to A new club."

"Has a club already contacted you, Xiaoyi? Where are we going?"

Facing his mother's question, Lei Yi seemed a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know yet. But, there will definitely be! At that time, I may go directly to the city where the new club is located! If I can speak Portuguese For the place of communication, I can go and find the house first! You...you can take advantage of my time to go to the training camp and go out with my dad to relax or something. When I won against Ecuador last time, the national team sent me a lot bonus!"

In this way, Lei Yi got on the plane from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Beijing.

again.

At the same time, there are many, many players who have boarded the plane to the training base of their national team.What awaits them will be a month or even longer closed training.

As early as when the top 32 of this World Cup in Mexico were all decided, FIFA had already drawn lots for the group stage of this World Cup.

It is very unfortunate that the Chinese team has drawn what people think is the "Ten-day World Cup Tour" lottery this time.

They are in the same group as seeded Portugal, Spain in the European zone, and Honduras in the Central and North American zone.

Because of this, on the plane flying to Beijing, Lei Yi had already started to watch the matches of Portugal, Spain and Honduras in the World Cup qualifiers.

Obviously, these three teams were still extremely unfamiliar to him until the results of the group draw came out.

He has never met any player from any of these three teams on a football field.

And he doesn't understand the styles of these three teams at all.

More importantly... Lei Yi would not do such a thing if he put down the opponent he was facing long before the battle and ran to study the opponent he would meet in a long time.Although, he really attaches great importance to this game.But the two are actually not contradictory to Lei Yi.

……

"Although the Spanish team did not become the seeded team this time, I think there is no one better than us Portuguese who understands how difficult the Spanish team is. Four years ago, players who were immature and could only play as substitutes played in the league this year. The performances on the field have been very brilliant. Among them, the most notable ones are the Spanish team's second striker Javier, and their midfielder Enzo Guti."

This is the national team training base of the Portuguese team. The head coach is telling the more than 20 Portuguese players who have been recruited and came here what they will encounter in the group stage, the old rival Spain.

When people see Portugal in the World Cup, it's hard not to think of their Iberia derby, Spain.And vice versa.

If you ask Spain and Portugal who are the biggest opponents in the World Cup group stage, it can only be each other.

And this will of course be the undisputed focus of the group stage.

When the head coach mentioned Javier, the second striker in the Spanish team, the young man with black hair and green eyes sitting in the front position obviously had a twinkle in his eyes.This is not surprising, as the dark-haired, green-eyed boy is indeed often compared to Javier.

The reason is simple, he and the Spanish team's second striker are the golden boys of Portugal and Spain.

In world football, people seem to like to call those players who are still very young, but already have excellent strength, and are trusted by clubs and crazy by fans, as golden boys.

Even Italy's "Turin Sports Daily" selects a European Golden Boy every year.

Players who play for European clubs and are under the age of 21 can be eligible for selection.

And the gold content of this award is extremely high, and it can even be called "European Youth Footballer".

Javier, the Spanish golden boy, happens to be the winner of this year's European Golden Boy Award.

But the Portuguese are not convinced by this result, because they also have their own golden boy, Tigos.Of course, he was the boy with the black hair and green eyes.

Javier is 20 years old this year, Tigos is 19 years old.

The two are similar in age, and both are forwards on the field.

However, Javier is a second striker.Tiggs is a left winger.

But that's enough for the media to keep comparing them together.

It is precisely because they are often compared together that there should be a competitive relationship between the Portuguese Golden Boy and the Spanish Golden Boy.

It is conceivable that the match between Portugal and Spain in the World Cup group stage will catalyze the competitive relationship between the two.

When it comes to the Spanish team, of course we have to talk about the two star second generations in the Spanish team, the story of Milan Pique and Barcelona Manchester United, and the relationship between Enzo Guti and Real Madrid Atletico Madrid...

"Two suits?"

"Bring it."

"Charger and adapter?"

"Bring it."

"And your usual shampoo, body wash and aftershave?"

"It's ready, I've taken my mother. You don't need to be so nervous every time I go to the national team training base. You know, it's in Madrid."

The one who said these words was a young man with light blond hair.He looked very relaxed, which was completely different from the nervousness of the middle-aged woman next to him.

"Oh." The woman exhaled, "Let me ask you one last question. Have you brought your passport?"

The young man with light blond hair looked at the middle-aged woman, and the smile on his face deepened. Then, as if he wanted to play a "secret game" with his mother, he took out his small bag, put his hand in it, and suddenly Just take out your passport.

"Looks like I haven't forgotten it."

As he spoke, he and the middle-aged woman smiled at the same time.The middle-aged woman is called Romina, and she is Argentinian.She has been with the father of her children for many years.However, the two never chose to marry.And this man with light blond hair, he is Enzo Guti, the main midfielder that the Spanish team relies on very much.

"Your father said that he is very busy recently, and the team is unwilling to let him come back early to have a meal with his son. The team said that there are several summer transfers that need to be discussed with him in advance..."

"Mom." When the Argentinian woman said these words, Enzo Guti interrupted her, and said after showing a smile: "I know he doesn't want to come, and he doesn't want to come when I enter Come and have a meal with me before the national team training. What other team has not had a holiday until now? But it’s okay, don’t lie to me because of him.”

As early as when Enzo Guti made his voice out, his father, Jose Guti, known as the Golden Wolf, told the media excitedly that he hoped that his son could become a player like him .And, preferably left-handed.

Guti's expectations have been fulfilled by his son, and when Enzo Guti was young, the close relationship between father and son once made many stars feel very envious.But since when did the relationship between the father and son become so close to freezing point?

That was probably when Enzo Guti was 14 years old.

He chose to leave Real Madrid's youth academy and go to Real Madrid's city derby, Atletico Madrid's youth academy.

Everyone knows how much Jose Guti hopes that his son can inherit his mantle, go to Real Madrid to play, and become a good player that Real Madrid fans will like.And as long as anyone knows Jose Guti, he can know how hard the father tried to instill his deep love and loyalty to the Spanish giant club when Enzo was still young .

But when Enzo Guti was 14 years old, what happened that made him resolutely choose to go to Atletico Madrid, and he was almost a stranger to his father?

Some say it was because Jose Guti demanded of his son as much as he demanded of himself.He asked his son, even if he can only play 10 minutes in Real Madrid every season, not to go to any other team that allows him to play a full season.He asked his son to unconditionally obey any request made by Real Madrid to him at any time.He asked his son to give up everything for the honor of Real Madrid.

But such a requirement is too harsh for a child.

Under long-term depression, Enzo finally developed the rebellious psychology that a teenager would have, and in a fit of anger, he went to Real Madrid's derby team in the same city.And stay for nine years.

Many people fully agree with this statement.

Fortunately, Enzo has done a good job at the club. He has grown into a good player who can be trusted by his teammates and the club can rely on.And, he also became a member of the Spanish national team.

Enzo has repeatedly expressed his affection for his father on TV shows and in front of the media cameras, reiterating that he will always be his father's despite playing for a different club than the one his father loved so dearly Son, no one can change that.

However, it seems that everyone underestimated Golden Wolf's loyalty and dedication to Real Madrid.

Jose Guti said that when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid meet, he will always only sit in the area where the Real Madrid fans are.

This has obviously expressed his position on the relationship between father and son very well.
