The mistletoe and the Christmas tree always go hand in hand.

Perhaps because the house is too big, the Christmas tree in Ronaldo's living room is also very big, and the golden five-pointed star on the tree almost touches the roof.

And a bunch of cyan parasitic garlands were hung not far from the Christmas tree, on the top of the fireplace.

All British families will hang parasites in the house at Christmas, because there is a saying in the UK: there is no happiness without parasites.

It is impossible for Ronaldo, who has lived in Manchester for several years, not to know this custom.

As soon as he entered the house, he was looking for what he wanted, and now Carl, who finally found it, leisurely pointed out the other party's Christmas decorations to the owner of the house.

Ronaldo glanced at the top of his head: "Psyche? I hung it up myself, as a gift when I bought a Christmas tree."

"It's too impractical to hang on the fireplace." Carl suggested unintentionally, "You should hang it on the door beam, so that no matter who passes by the door, you can pounce on it and kiss it."

Ronaldo glared at Carl as if he had been awakened: "Where do I have the opportunity to play this kind of flirting now! It's all you! I insisted on taking the opportunity to break up with Gemma, but in the end she said a lot about me in the newspaper Bad words for many months!" The influence of the tabloids in England is huge. He used to go to the bar once at night and receive at least seven or eight notes with mobile phone numbers on them. Now...he even returned empty-handed.

"Before the breakup, you were sweet and pleasant, but after the breakup, you cursed loudly." Carl said calmly, "Doesn't this just mean that your decision is right?"

"That's true." Ronaldo's anger is like a firecracker. Give him a reason to ignite, but as long as he finds the root cause and slowly smoothes the hair, it dissipates as quickly as smoke: "Duplicate women are terrible, I would rather No." He nodded again, and admitted dejectedly: "It's a pity that the after-effects are too bad, and I'm very popular with women these days."

Carl took a step closer and looked into the other person's eyes: "So you haven't gotten a kiss from Shirley this year...it's pathetic."

Kissing under the chrysalis is a Western Christmas tradition, which comes from Norse mythology: the son of Odin and Frigg, the god of peace, Bird, the god of peace, was shot to death by the evil god Loki with a dart made of chrysanthemum, and Frigg Jia was deeply saddened, she shed tears to dissolve Xie Jisheng's evil, and rescued her son.So Frigg promised that no matter who stood under Xie Jisheng, he would give him a kiss and bestow blessings.

Therefore, in many countries, kissing under the parasite at Christmas time can maintain each other's friendship for a lifetime, whether it is love, friendship or family affection.

Ronaldo doesn't feel sorry for himself at all. He firmly believes that with his own charm, it will only take a while to be left out in the cold, and sooner or later he will become popular again.However, there was a bit of weirdness in Karl's tone, which made him always feel creepy when he heard it. Just as he was about to refute it, he looked at the pair of eyes that were close at hand, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

Ronaldo has heard countless female companions praise the beauty of those eyes, but he always thinks: Karl is a head coach, he relies on his strength for a living, not on his face, you superficial guys, always staring at his face put what?

Don’t blame Ronaldo for his thick lines. When he first met Karl, he was worried about his position in the locker room. He didn’t care about who was more handsome than his immediate boss who came from the airborne. Later, after he got acquainted with him, Karl dangled in front of him every day. He has seen the same face countless times, no matter how handsome it is, he doesn't feel it anymore.

However, it doesn't mean that this face can no longer touch people's hearts. The key is that there must be an opportunity and condition to trigger it.

Just like now, under the warm light, Carl's whole body seemed to be hit with a halo.

The shirt button was fastened to the top one, covering half of the neck. Just looking at the part below the sharp chin, you will feel that this person is condensed and rigorous.

But the part above the chin is soft.

The color of the lips is cherry red as if dyed by petals, and the smile on the corner of the mouth seems to hide some secret.

The eyes quietly stared at the appearance of the person, not purely watching, but more like researching, probing or observing something.

Maybe there is a sea in it.

Or shattered starlight fell into it.

'Those women are not crazy for no reason. Ronaldo thought erratically, "At least Carl, who was praised by them, is quite, uh, worthy of the name." '

After a few seconds, or tens of seconds, Ronaldo suddenly said: "No one will spend Christmas with me this year. It would be hell if there were kisses in this house."

Karl knew that the other party was responding to what he said before.

Enough of mystification, he leaned over and kissed Ronaldo on the cheek when his breathing suddenly stopped.

"Merry Christmas."

Then he retracted his head and stood up straight, observing the other party's reaction with great interest.

Ronaldo's heart was pounding.

When Karl came over just now, he wanted to hide for a moment, but what is the saying?

The kiss under Xie Jisheng cannot be refused, otherwise it will bring bad luck.

So Ronaldo stiffened his body and welcomed the first same-sex kiss in his life with anxiety.

It's different from the greasy, wet, powdery, perfume-like feeling that women get from applying sticky lip gloss. This time, the touch is only dry and soft. In addition, there may be a little beard. After the water taste?

Like a glass of water.

But it is not that kind of pure mineral water, but the cold snow water under the clear winter sky.

In short, just like Carl, there is simplicity in the complexity, and complexity in the simplicity.

Then his heart immediately protested.

It's like throwing a bait to your heart. You know it's a trap, but you can't help but bite the bait.

So the fishing line pulled and pulled, pulling the heart to the mouth of the throat, as if it could jump out immediately with just one mouth.

Why is the reaction so strong?Even Ronaldo himself was unbelievable, but he soon found a reason for himself: 'Probably because I have never been kissed by a man, so I am too nervous. '

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is not the case.

But who cares, if you don't talk, Karl will probably think that he will be fooled by kissing him just by kissing him!

Coughing heavily (as if he could cough off the blush on his face), Ronaldo replied gruffly: "Merry Christmas!"

Carl nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to hook the other party's neck: "You told me that there is a great fitness area in this house, where is it?"

Ronaldo pointed at the upstairs indiscriminately, threw off the arm around his neck and rushed upstairs—isn't it just the usual shoulder-to-shoulder hooking between men?Why does he feel like he has goosebumps all over his body now?

……

London has not had decent snow for many years, but since the beginning of winter this year, there have been two heavy snowfalls in succession.

The second snow is falling after Christmas and before New Years, covering the entire city in a few hours, and all public transportation is also interrupted.Karl originally planned to go to London today, because of the heavy snow, he had to move the trip to a few days later, and temporarily lived in Manchester for a few days.

But not going out doesn't mean that Carl can't do half of his business. In fact, his phone has been ringing non-stop since the morning.

Club chairman Auer asked him to discuss two matters, all related to Bayern Munich.

The first one is because in March next year, the newly built Jewish Museum in Munich, which cost 3 million euros, will be unveiled. With this shareholder wind, Bayern wants to build a Jewish fan monument in front of the museum, because Bayern and the Lions both fought in World War II. A large number of Jewish fans were brutally murdered, so they wanted to ask if the teams in the same city had this common will.

Naturally, 1860 Munich would not refuse this matter, but the reason why Orr focused on this matter is because Bayern wanted to subsidize a Jewish team in the city, Maccabi Munich, to build a stadium. Orr wanted to discuss with Karl. For a moment, do the Lions have to mean something to the Maccabi team?

Karl had also heard about this matter, and he said lightly: "I heard that the new stadium of Maccabi Munich will be named Landauer Stadium."

Orr was a little embarrassed after hearing this, and saved himself the thought of putting gold on his face, and said, "Then let's forget about it."

Landauer was the chairman of Bayern Munich during the First World War. He was a wealthy Jewish businessman. After becoming the chairman of Bayern, the coaches of the team have always chosen Jews. , Hitler ordered Landauer sent to the Dachau concentration camp, Landauer fled to Switzerland, until the end of World War II to return to the club as chairman until 1932.

After West Germany pleaded guilty, Bayern fans began to publicly commemorate Chairman Landauer. Now Bayern Munich funds the only Jewish team in the city to build a stadium named after Landauer, probably out of memory and respect for history.

If Orr wants to do good deeds again, he can find other ways, such as playing a few more friendly matches with Maccabi Munich. It is a private matter of the Bayern club.

The second thing is that Bayern Munich has fired coach Magath and intends to hire the former coach Heathfield to return. The new coach has taken a fancy to Dante Santos, the calm defense general of the Lions, and wants to make an offer to buy.

Karl refused without hesitation. Dante is currently being reused in the team. If he is bought away, the Lions will have to buy someone to supplement him. The price difference of [-] euros is not worth it.

"But Bayern are very sincere."

Karl smiled, he understood the meaning of this sentence, sincerity in the transfer market means nothing more than "give enough money".

After thinking about it, Carl politely refused: "It's okay to want Dante, just exchange it with Ram."

Al was startled: "Ram?"

Philipp Lahm is another talent who came from Bayern's youth training. He was loaned to Stuttgart for two seasons in 03. He performed well in the club and was very popular with the former coach Klinsmann in the national team. Valuable, scored the first goal of the German team in this year's World Cup, and has been the key training object in the team since returning to Bayern.However, he suffered a little injury at the beginning of this season, and he is still in the recovery stage, and has not played in a few months.

"That's right." Carl said bluntly: "If you change it, you can change it. If you don't change it, the transaction will be cancelled."

'You want to dig my defense general, I want to dig your team core! 'This idea made Orr feel particularly happy, and he quickly agreed, ready to negotiate with the Bayern Munich manager.

But ten minutes later, Orr called and said regretfully, "Hoeness said that Ram is not for sale."

Carl comforted Orr a few words before hanging up the phone.

In fact, this result was within his expectations, and he even directed it—he just didn't want to reject Orr coldly, so as not to make the other party look ugly, so he used Ram as an excuse.But in fact, it is impossible for Bayern Munich to sell Lahm anyway, because the latter is the team's default captain successor, and Bayern is not as financially stressed as Arsenal. sell?

It's true that Karl wanted Ram, but he was also reluctant to part with Dante, knowing that the previous idea was whimsical, so he just smiled and thought about the team's buying plan during the winter break.

Before the new year, Bayern has already started to make moves in the transfer market, so Munich 1860 can't be too late.

Karl is observing a few players, but he doesn't know if the opponent is really suitable for the Lions.

The current Munich 1860 is almost a pure elite lineup. The players in the team have either proven themselves or are proving themselves, and those who are not qualified have already been eliminated.If he wants to buy new aid, Karl wants to pursue high-quality products at the first blow. If he can’t buy a suitable one, he would rather not find a substitute—the quality is not enough to make up the quantity. It will also cause trouble for the team's management and future cleaning work.

After thinking about it, Karl called the club scout: "Help me find all the game videos of two players this season. The names are Zvezdan Misimovic and Sami Khedira."
