[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

However, before the official opening of the European Youth Championship and the annual World Cup, the final of the European Champions Cup comes first.

Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League by Monaco, and the final in Amsterdam saw Real Madrid take on Juventus.In this game, everyone at Manchester United was a spectator, even for Lou van der Rey, who was born in Real Madrid's youth training, it was the same.The preparations for the championship began, and the Spanish and Italian media launched a direct or oblique scolding battle. The English media, which usually likes to be the protagonist, can only watch all this even if they are envious.

What else could they do but watch?Everyone on Fleet Street racked their brains, and while changing their approach to discriminating against Arsenal, which has many non-natives, to praising another rising team, they began to criticize Manchester United, which has been conspicuous for so many years.

The so-called big tree attracts the wind, and every Premier League team can talk about the history and age of the club, but there are very few who are really famous in the European arena.As the head of the Premier League, Manchester United has almost lost all four of them this season, making reporters and editors feel like sharks smelling blood in their hunger. The club racked their brains to deal with the media and worried fans.

And Manchester United's goalkeeper issue, which has been raised countless times this season, has been brought up again, and it has been nakedly photographed in front of people.That's right, if Schmeichel leaves Manchester United, it must be full of nostalgia for the Danes and condemnation of Manchester United's inability to leave heroes. However, before Schmeichel left, he kept saying that he would be sent to Manchester United. It is the same group of people who are in need of radical reform.

But all of this had something to do with Row van der Rey, a guy who had no sense of being at the center of events.He hesitated for a long time, clutching the tickets sent from Spain in his hand, there was still light rain, a specialty of Manchester, outside the window, and pedestrians came and went hurriedly with umbrellas.

"Hey David," Aarau finally dialed the number. He looked up at the young man holding a mobile phone in the mirror, with joy that he didn't expect in his eyes. He unconsciously raised his hand to touch the mirror, and instantly connected the phone At that moment, the fingernails scratched on the mirror and made a rattling sound, "I said I invited you to see the tickets for the final in Amsterdam, do you remember?"

Beckham was training at home, wiping away the sweat with a towel on his shoulders, "Why are you so happy to hear the voice?" Beckham's teasing meaning was stronger, and Aarau paused on the other end of the phone, before he could think of an excuse, Beckham sighed, "Sure enough, he is a veritable Real Madrid fan."

This statement made Lou van der Ley only acquiesce, "You just say whether you will go or not?" Beckham grabbed the phone with one hand and took off his wet vest, "Can you not go, your treat?"

Alao bit his lip and smiled cautiously, "My territory, of course I treat guests."

Lou van der Rey is a little crazy.

He tried to be crazy and careful.

The two set foot on the ground in Amsterdam. It wasn't until Aarau brought Beckham to the expensive star hotel not far from the stadium that Beckham suddenly realized that the kid was bleeding profusely. Let him live in what is supposed to be his real home in Amsterdam.

Seeing the look in Beckham's eyes, Aarau handed him the door key of the single room in his hand, "My house is too far away from the Amsterdam Stadium, and it must be very inconvenient to go back and forth." Although Beckham didn't believe it, this kid has always He showed that he kept secret about his family, and tried not to mention it if he could, and it was hard for him to say anything more.

After checking into the hotel, Beckham, who packed his luggage and was hungry, knocked on the door next door. Aarau packed his wallet and said, "Tell me, I'll treat you to whatever you want." In Amsterdam, this kid's local tyrant and landowner style are fully revealed.Beckham was also not polite to him, and simply came to the end of the season. Although the league has not really ended, but the dust has almost settled, "Your specialty here..."

Aarau's face darkened when he said this, and the expected ending was basically, "Raw herring is a Dutch specialty, right?"

"Trust me if people from other places are not used to it." Alao twitched the corner of his mouth and shouted manically in his heart, "That's something locals can't get used to."However, Beckham has a look of 'you don't underestimate me', and looks more eager to try, wanting to prove that he has an iron stomach from North London.

"It's easy for the stomach to be overwhelmed by eating too much fresh food. This is a big taboo for professional players." Aarau tried his best to intimidate him, but he forgot that in front of him was an orthodox Englishman with a unique taste. .

Beckham looked a little hurt when he saw him like this, like saying, "If you don't intend to take their opinions, don't ask them." Aarau nodded and took him to the famous local fresh market with a mouthful of blood.There are actually quite a few things that Lawandre doesn't like. Raw herring is one of them, but the ranking is not high. Although he doesn't like the taste, he has been so familiar with it for so many years that he can't really eat it.

Sitting there, he was definitely different from Beckham who watched the fish slaughtered and shaved the skin and bones with relish. He fortified himself with a bitter face. The more Beckham was amazed at the fish stall master's unique skill of "removing the internal organs of herring with a knife", Alao's face became more and more unsightly.The chef at the fish stall moved very quickly and neatly, and he still had time to glance at the expressions of the two people, "Are you tourists?" He laughed and packed a fish again, because it had already been marinated in advance and handed it over to another person After cleaning, sprinkle with seasoning and eat directly.Beckham pretended not to see Aarau's expression, "I'm British," he said, pointing to Aarau who frowned at the bloody scene and smell, "Dutch, Amsterdammer, local."

Of course the chef understood his deep meaning, raised his eyebrows cooperatively and looked at Lao van der Ley, and clicked his tongue. At this time, the raw herring that had been simply processed was brought up. Beckham looked at it, which was definitely different from Japanese raw fish. A piece of a whole fish, with finely chopped onions sprinkled on top, finally realized that the opposite was a Dutchman who should be regarded as an authentic, "And then?" Alao pointed to the tail of the fish, motioning for him to pick it up and put it directly to his mouth. "eat."

Before Aarau could say, "If you're not used to it, we can ask the boss to slice it. Really, no one here will eat it like this except the locals." Beckham obediently grabbed a whole herring covered with minced onions and stuffed it into it. mouth.The chef of the fish stall was also stunned by the Englishman, watching him give a thumbs up after savoring the tender and juicy fish with a strange expression.

Aarau almost wants to kneel down to the taste of the British iron stomach and black hole.

That is, in Beckham's half-smile, Alao brazenly took the fish to ask the boss to slice it, and after being thoroughly disgusted again, he sat back with the finished product in despair.Beckham was a little curious, "What would you do if you really ate a whole fish?" Alao shuddered when he thought of the feeling of a whole fish sliding down his throat, looking at the obviously curious Beckham , poked a piece of fish meat in front of him blankly and stuffed it into his mouth, "I will vomit."

After getting this answer, Beckham covered his face with one hand and laughed non-stop. Aarau had been disliked too many times in a day and had already broken the pot, so he didn't care about being laughed at.Beckham looked at the kid who didn't even bother to resist, "You are stupid, just find a restaurant, who told you to take me to the fish market."

Lau van der Rey thought to himself, don’t you insist on going to the most authentic place, looking at those smiling olive green eyes, everything got stuck in his throat in an instant.

It has been a long time since Beckham and Aarau had this kind of experience of sitting on the court and watching the game. After the two officially took their seats, Beckham looked at the fans wearing Real Madrid home jerseys around him, and looked at the clothes he was wearing at the time. The white T-shirt that Aarau specially ordered before departure, "Real Madrid fans area, huh?"

Alao looked at him innocently and nodded, and obediently followed with an 'um'.Beckham shrugged and didn't bother with him, just waiting to hear the broadcast of the team's starting list.

"I haven't watched Real Madrid play for almost a year." Aarau looked at the substitute players who had entered the field and said.Beckham sneered, "When you have time, you can either cultivate your hobbies or watch the goals scored by the strikers of various Premier League teams and the attacking and passing routines of the midfielders." If the time is divided into two, it may be possible to find time to officially step Set your mind to watch a full game.

Aarau didn't say much, pointing to the young man sitting on the Real Madrid bench, "That man, Igor Casillas." Beckham followed his finger and looked at the boy with obvious baby fat, And his figure, which is a little short compared to Lawandre, can only echo with ahh.Beckham thought about it for a while, and the name sounded familiar, and then he remembered that it was the 'Igor' who kept his luggage mentioned when he first arrived.

The third goalkeeper, obviously still has no chance to play, but he didn't expect it to be such a heart-wrenching story.

But when it comes to the team's goalkeeper, it is Juventus that is worrying compared to Real Madrid. "Juventus has always wanted to buy Van der Sar?" After all, it is the base camp of Ajax, so it is normal for Beckham to think of the extraordinary Dutch national team.Aarau paused and mentioned the senior, "Well, but he probably won't leave. He renewed his contract last year until 00, and he will play for Ajax for at least one more season." Wang, even van der Sar's perseverance is impossible to continue.

Lao van der Sar was sad about the Eredivisie again, but Beckham thought he thought that because of Van der Sar's existence, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the national team.I don't know whether to feel that Beckham was born to be a nanny, or whether Aarau is too worried about national affairs.

In the final Champions League final, the winner was Real Madrid.When Real Madrid stood on the Champions League podium for the seventh time, the two Manchester United players watched this scene with mixed emotions.But all this is complicated. When I saw Redondo running slowly on the field wearing the Argentine flag, I was deeply moved.

About Redondo was expelled from the Argentine national team because he did not comply with the order to shave his head , smashing his teeth and swallowing it, or the order to shave his head is just a reason to expel him from the national team——

——Looking at the Argentine wearing the national flag and finally standing slowly in the stadium, looking up at the dazzling lights, the moisture in his eyes is an illusion or the truth.

No one can tell the difference.

Beckham sighed, "I don't know when I will be able to stand there," and the point was self-evident, "Hopefully next season."

Lao van der Reid didn't understand, "European Cup 00, this is our base camp."
