long live football

"Carl."

After a blurted whisper, Ronaldo suddenly opened his eyes.

The sunlight coming in through the half-drawn curtains immediately closed his eyes harshly again, resting his right hand on his eyelids, after relieving the discomfort in his eyes, he slowly opened them again.

The line of sight is concentrated on the ceiling directly above, and reason and memory gradually come back.

Everything that he experienced in the dream also swept through his brain like a tide.

The hot and humid breath, the hot mouth, the slick and hot atmosphere, the soft skin clinging to his fingers.

Trembling desire, heavy breathing, savage movements, two wet but sticky bodies.

The world in the dream is like a pot of boiling water, everything is boiling, not only the human body, but even the human thoughts are transpired in it, the calmness is burned, the rationality is disintegrated, and the rest is greedy desires, only or to be satisfied or a painful sigh.

Just thinking about it again makes people blush.

Ronaldo got a little heart racing.

But I didn't have the sweaty, panicky feeling when I woke up after a nightmare.

On the contrary, his body felt very relaxed, and even faintly exhilarated.

When he realized that he was actually enjoying the dream, the rational embodiment in Ronaldo's mind quickly jumped out and accused him: Hey, you should be panicking!Don't you panic?Dreaming that you and your friends are still the same sex, and you roll out of bed immediately without panic, nervousness or fright?

...But, really don't panic.

And recalling the dream, his lower abdomen still has an unbearably tight feeling.

Ronaldo seemed to realize something suddenly, he quickly lifted the quilt, and then glanced inside.

Sure enough, it was a mess inside.

To make matters worse, he was hard again there.

Well, Ronaldo is a little panicked now.

Taking a deep breath, Ronaldo silently said "ignore it ignore it", and quickly got up from the bed and ran into the bathroom.

He desperately needs a cold shower to cool off the fire.

Fifteen minutes later, after three consecutive sneezes, Ronaldo, who was so cold that he almost caught a cold, finally struggled out of the bathroom naked with his arms folded and shivering.

He first found a towel to wipe his body, and after quickly putting on his clothes, he was busy rolling up the already dirty quilt and throwing it into the washing machine to start washing.

After doing all this, Ronaldo went to the kitchen and made himself a cup of hot black tea, then sat at the dining table in a daze.

This stay lasted for an hour.

It wasn't until the alarm clock rang for the second time that Ronaldo realized that he was about to be late, grabbed the car keys and hurriedly drove to the training ground.

Along the way, he was thinking back to the two reliable guesses he found for the reason of the dream last night when he was just in a daze: [-]: He has been too energetic recently and has nowhere to vent, so he dreamed randomly when he was hungry.

Two: There is something wrong with his sexual orientation.

Ronaldo sincerely hoped that the reason was one, so all day, he sweated desperately on the training ground, and the whole team finished training, and he stayed to continue training.

After Ferguson praised him several times in a row, "Really hardworking! Really hardworking!", Ronaldo finally thought that he had vented all his remaining energy.

Without extra energy, he will not be indiscriminately angry, and when he goes home to do the test, he can rule out guess one and concentrate on testing guess two.

After a simple dinner, Ronaldo came to the bedroom with a serious face and dug out a bunch of photos.

Seven pics of babes with big tits and wide butts (all ex-girlfriends) and one wet pic of Carl (from a past collection).

Ronaldo put these photos on the table, picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully.

Blonde, big breasts, blue strappy bikini... I don't feel it.

Brunette Latina with long legs and sexy pajamas... no feeling.

Brown hair, plump lips, slender waist and hips, chocolate complexion... I don't feel it.

Translucent shirt, well-proportioned muscles, beautiful lines, white skin, six-pack abs... rub!

……

After the warm-up match against Spain, Carl stayed in London for two days and completed a series of paperwork for the national team. As soon as he returned to Manchester, he found his photo lying in a pile of scraps of paper in his bedroom.

He picked up his own photo first, and then examined the scraps of paper.

Most of the scraps of paper were torn into fingernail size, hard in texture, white on one side and colorful on the other. Carl found a few pieces that were not so broken, and the cuts could barely fit together...but he found that it seemed to be a piece of paper. photo?Or a picture of a woman's boobs in a bikini.

Carl rummaged through the scraps of paper that were almost all over the table, but he didn't see the stump of his own photo. The torn ones seemed to be pictures of girls.

What a strange move.Whether it was tearing up a few pictures of bikini girls or throwing pictures of himself on them, Carl thought, all of this was weird and questionable.

What did Ronaldo do when he was not in Manchester?

Carl thought about this question until Ronaldo went home, and asked it in front of the other party.

Only then did Ronaldo realize that he forgot to destroy the corpse...

He suppressed his guilty conscience and said haha: "I didn't do anything, hehe, I was very angry when I failed to score a goal in the game two days ago. After I got home, I wanted to tear things up to vent my anger. The first thing I found was your photo. If I didn't dare to tear it up, I found it A bunch of other people's photos instead of..."

'What a poor excuse. 'Carl saw through the guilty conscience on Ronaldo's face at a glance.

Of course he didn't believe Ronaldo's words, but looking at the other person's expression, it seemed that Carl continued to press him, and he was about to turn around and run away in panic... Forget it, don't ask, Carl thought: It's just a photo anyway, and he can take it again. What to do?

Nodding casually, leaving a sentence: "I'll take a shower first." Carl walked towards the bathroom.

What Karl didn't see was that after he turned around, Ronaldo breathed a sigh of relief.

……

March 3, Wembley Stadium.

In the FIFA warm-up match, England played against Slovakia at home.

Slovakia borders Ukraine, and their football style is slightly similar, and England will face Ukraine in the World Cup budget match in three days, so this game can be regarded as a warm-up for Ukraine.

This is the third time the England team has played against Slovakia. Both Beckham and Terry entered the starting lineup. Terry wore the captain's armband and played in the Three Lions shirt for the 50th time. Beckham also ushered in his own The national team's 109th game surpassed Bobby Moore to become the outfield player with the most appearances in the history of the England national team.

After the Italian referee Rossetti blew the whistle to start the game, the sky in London began to drizzle, and the game was played in the patter of drizzle.

England threatened Slovakia's goal after only 25 seconds of the game. Beckham made a straight pass from the right. Gerrard dribbled the ball lightly with his left foot and got rid of the defender's defense. Shot, the football was thrown into the middle of the penalty area by Slovakia goalkeeper Seneki, Rooney took off in front of the goal and scored with a header, and the football was accurately headed into the net by him.

"GOAL! England lead 1-0 at home! It's Wayne Rooney's goal, another header!"

The commentator Andy Gray expressed his confusion after the excitement: "Rooney has scored a lot of headers recently. This is his second header in the national team game after entering 2009. If you count the Premier League, it is The fifth header...Maybe it was the order of Auston and Ferguson? They want Wayne Rooney to use more headers?"

The camera switched to two off-site shots in a timely manner.

One for Karl on the sidelines and one for Ferguson in the stands.

Carl put his hands in his coat pockets and was looking at the field with a peaceful expression, while Ferguson was chewing gum while talking to his old friends with a smile.

Under the guidance of Andy Gray, all the fans in front of the TV acquiesced that Rooney's recent header tactics came from the inspiration of these two people.

But if Ferguson or Karl hear this, they will say that they have been wronged-Rooney's recent enthusiasm for heading is entirely his own reason, because Rooney's wife Colleen has just helped him make an appointment for the best in London. The hospital is doing hair transplant surgery, and frequent headers are harmful to the scalp after hair transplantation, so Rooney will definitely reduce the number of headers after the operation. Now he wants to take advantage of the operation before the operation, and take a few more jumps to the top to enjoy the fun That's all.

From the 5th minute, the England team completely controlled the rhythm of the game, but Slovakia also stepped up their fighting efforts from the 20th minute, trying to reverse the decline.

Perhaps due to luck, the Three Lions failed to continue to score goals in the rest of the first half. Instead, they were equalized by Slovakia at the end of the first half-

It was in the second minute of stoppage time. The Slovakian player seized the last chance to press into England's half. Forward Vitek didn't hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and shot after getting the ball!

The football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. Joe Hart didn't react in time. When he took the posture and started to save, the football had already rubbed his fingertips into the goal!

The [-] England fans in the stadium lamented again and again, all frustrated by this conceded goal.

When he left the field, not only Joe Hart's head was bowed, but even Irving was a little downcast.

The former was because of his own mistake and conceded the goal, while the latter was because he failed to score in the first half.

Although the years in Munich allowed Owen to return to the world's top striker rankings, but in English football, media fans have always been more controversial about him.

One reason is that British fans always think that the Bundesliga is not as competitive as the Premier League. Irving proved himself in the Bundesliga again, which does not mean that he can do it in the Premier League. British fans will never sell their face if they cannot conquer the Premier League. The reason is that although Irving has never left the national team and scored goals every one or two games, he was neither the core of the offense nor an indispensable figure (compared to Rooney) in the Three Lions in the past. So compared to Rooney, who is the core player in the Premier League giants Manchester United and can often make a final decision in national team games, Owen's popularity has never returned to its peak state.

Speaking of which, there are still fans in England who have always believed that no matter how good Irving performed in the Bundesliga, it is impossible for him to return to his peak state. Irving can only dominate in a league that is not fiercely competitive-think so There are not a few fans.

These fans are stubborn, but they are unwilling to find an objective reason: Irving scored fewer goals in the national team, in fact, because the previous coaches such as Eriksson and McLaren did not pay attention to him at all, and did not regard him as the core of the frontcourt attack , other teammates also choose to pass the ball to Rooney more when Owen and Rooney are nearby at the same time.With neither tactics nor teammates leaning towards him, unless Irving grabs the ball from his teammates' feet, it would be strange to score more goals.

When Irving was off the court, Carl patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be downcast, keep working hard in the second half."

Then during the intermission, Carl also re-divided the responsibilities of Rooney and Irving in the frontcourt, emphasizing with the players that when passing the ball, you should find the teammate with the best position nearby, and it should not be related to who is better. Just pass it on to whoever - the England team has many stars, many factions, and many people who watch dishes. As long as they are not players playing in foreign giants, England's big names will always define each other as "excluded from the mainstream." Outside the league".

Even wealthy players are sometimes looked down upon. For example, in the last year of Beckham's time at Real Madrid, because the main position was not stable, so even his position as the captain of the national team was not stable. After the World Cup in Germany Beckham immediately resigned as the captain of the national team. Apart from taking the blame for England's performance in the big competition, there was also the reason why several big bosses in the dressing room saw him lose power, so they didn't buy him. (Of course, now these bigwigs have already shaken hands with Beckham on the surface, especially after Carl coached, they are more polite and intimate with each other)

In Karl's view, this unhealthy trend in the England team must be suppressed or even wiped out. If there are still players in the locker room who put personal interests ahead of collective interests after a few months, then he will be the next three. When the Lions make a big list, they can also choose not to bring each other to play.

……

The second half.

I don't know if Carl's encouragement and beating played a role, but Owen's performance suddenly became brave.

In the 51st minute, Beckham passed the ball from the right, and Slovakia midfielder Hanshik destroyed it before Rooney took the ball. Slovakia launched a counterattack. The ball is long passed to the frontcourt.

Owen quickly took the ball, passed a Slovakian central defender, and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area at high speed!

Slovak defender Skrtel stepped forward to press!

Owen, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped, stepping on the football and pulling it back. While Skrtel moved his center of gravity forward, the ball broke through from the left!

After passing Skrtel, Slovakia's left has become a smooth road without resistance!

Irving dribbled the football and ran towards the penalty area of ​​Slovakia!

The slippery grass didn't stop him, and neither did the Slovak defenders.

Owen in Wembley Stadium was like an afterimage quickly, and he broke into the penalty area in the blink of an eye!

The two defenders, Valajovic and Pekarik, outflanked!

Owen raised his right foot high at this moment, and concentrated all the strength of his body on it!

"Boom!" His instep hit the lower part of the football hard.

The black and white sphere soared into the air, piercing the Slovak goal like a sharp arrow!

Seneki couldn't make a save, so he could only watch the football fly into the net!

"GOOOOOOAL! Michael Owen! 2:1! England's score is over again!"

After scoring a goal, Irving wanted to celebrate by kneeling and gliding, but after thinking of the head coach's advice N days ago, he clenched his fists and roared!

In the 60th minute, in a fierce fight, Ferdinand was given a yellow card for making too much action on Slovakia striker Sestak, and the referee also awarded the opponent a direct free kick.

Sestak stood in front of the penalty spot, and after a whistle, he ran up and shot!

But the tragedy is that the ball didn't fly to England's goal at all, and it was pushed out by Terry on the right side of the penalty area!

Rooney and Owen ran towards the midfield.

The football flew to Lampard's feet!

Lampard turned around and raised his foot to twitch, the football has already flown to the midfield!

Near the middle circle, Beckham took the ball. After avoiding the entanglement of the two Slovak players, Beckham weighed the situation on the field and passed the ball directly!

A typical Bayesian arc long pass!

Irving gets the ball!

He ran like a wind and a white lightning in the Slovak half!

Defender Pekarik slammed into him like a wall. His posture was fierce, and he seemed to want to break Owen without breaking the ball!

Owen, who was running as fast as the wind, was about to collide with Pecarik. He suddenly tiptoed and picked the ball behind Pecarik. Then, when the opponent was distracted, he turned his body and rubbed Pecarik Carrick's shoulder flew over and then caught up with the football at high speed.

Another two Slovakian defenders surrounded him, and Owen directly cut the ball to Rooney in the middle!

After running without the ball and getting rid of the two defenders in front of him, Owen received the football returned by Rooney at the front of the penalty area!

Under the watchful eyes of [-] England fans, Owen raised his right foot, pointed his toe at the football and poked lightly!

The football rolled towards the goal against the tip of the grass!

The Slovak goalkeeper fell to the ground to save!

The football went into the net from the other side of his body!

"Owen, it's Michael Owen again!"

"There is nothing wrong with this goal. It was all created by Owen. The former chasing boy has returned to the national team. This attack is completely at the level of Owen's peak! 3:1! England's advantage continues to increase !"

Owen, who scored twice, did not celebrate like he scored the first goal. Instead, he turned and ran back to the midfield after seeing the football cross the goal line with his own eyes.

In this game, he has even greater ambitions!

Owen's two goals not only inspired his teammates' desire to attack, but also impressed the England fans on the field.

They began to give their all, and they also began to cheer for Owen just like they cheered for Rooney before.

Whenever Irving takes the ball, the fans will cheer enthusiastically.

Whenever Irving raises his foot to shoot, the fans can't help shouting "Wow", as if they directly substituted themselves into the game.

Hearing the voice from the stands, Owen's expression changed.

It became very moving, very excited, with a bit of memory and sadness.

How many times has he not enjoyed such treatment?

It seems that since 04, the absolute darling of England fans has changed from him to Wayne Rooney...

Now that he has regained this kind of treatment, Michael Owen will never let him go!

In the 70th minute, another goal was sent into the net from Owen's feet.

Wembley Stadium has become very frantic at the moment, the fans are stamping their feet in the stands, waving their arms, and screaming with emotion!

They cheered for the 4:1 score, cheered for Irving's hat-trick, and what's more, they sang the national anthem "God Save the Queen" loudly in the stands.

Irving ran to the sideline closest to the stands, raising his arms high to enjoy the enthusiasm of the fans!

His face was full of boiling joy.

Commentator Andy Gray recalled: "It's unbelievable. The current Michael Owen reminds me of him ten years ago. The speed is the same as the wind! The wind is the same! The goal is the same as the wind!"

"This is the most beautiful hat-trick I've ever seen, typical English football style, not fancy, but deadly enough."

"Who said Owen can only excel in a less competitive league? I bet even if he returns to the Premier League now, he can have a place in the scorer list."

"But the most amazing thing is Auston. In his hands, he has successfully revived three players who have suffered from injuries and had long-term career failures. Portillo, Beckham, and Irving have all To fall off the top and come back to the top under Auston ... it's a miracle."

……

After 4:1, England has actually secured the victory, but the players of the Three Lions did not stop their offensive pace. In the 82nd minute, Rooney scored another goal with the assist of Lampard. Reached 5.

Then, at the end of the game, Slovakia actually launched a quick counterattack and scored a face-saving goal.

The score was finally fixed at 5:2, and the England team was considered a big victory.

However, although there was Owen's hat-trick before and Rooney scored twice later, in the eyes of English media fans, the two goals of Slovakia were an eyesore no matter how they looked.

Although there were many wonderful saves in the game, the two missed goals at the end of the two halves showed that there were many shortcomings in Hart - one was that his state was not so stable, and the other One is that he is easy to slack off.

At the media meeting after the game, the topic related to Joe Hart became a hot topic.

The press officer randomly clicked on a media outlet.

Standing up was a reporter from the Manchester Evening News, who asked whether Carl would replace Joe with James and Green, the other two goalkeepers in the squad, for England's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in three days' time. Hart starts.

"Unstable? That's because Hart's experience is not yet rich, and he is not mature enough." Carl replied: "I will not replace Hart's starting lineup for the time being, because he still needs to grow. A good goalkeeper needs to constantly As long as Hart continues to improve, I will always support him."

No one asked "What should I do if Hart still hasn't matured?", because the reporters present all understood the words of the Three Lions coach: Karl will give young people a chance to grow up, only when the other party has gone through hardships Only when training has not improved, will you consider replacing the opponent.

Carl didn't say anything dead, but after the report came out, Joe Hart was still moved.

In Hart's view, his own shortcomings are obvious. He is young and has little experience. Although he occasionally makes world-class wonderful saves and is more talented than other England goalkeepers, his stability is much worse than other older goalkeepers. That's it... In this situation, the general coach will choose an older goalkeeper who is not so amazing, but more stable, just like Hughes, the head coach of Manchester City.

But the national team is still willing to give him a chance. They don't dislike his shortcomings and are willing to be a touchstone for him to hone and grow.

If it weren't for the embarrassment, Hart would have cried bitterly when he watched the live broadcast of the post-match media meeting in the locker room.

Flowers bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall. Hart took a deep breath. He doesn't care much about whether he can start in the club game now.

Anyway, the attention of the national team is also very high, and here he can gain the full trust of the head coach, so starting from today, it is not bad for him to devote all his energy to the national team.
