long live football

Carl's persuasion of Gareth Bale and Lewis Holtby did not go well.

Bell was shocked when he received Carl's call, and he was silent for more than three minutes before answering: "My mind is very confused now, please let me think about it first." Then the call ended.

A day later, Bell called Carl back: "I like you very much, Mr. Oston, and I also hope to play for you, but it must be in the club or the national team, no."

Bale added: "Maybe it's because of my grandmother that I'm eligible to play for England, but my parents are Welsh, my sister is Welsh and I'm Welsh. I can never say no to Wales. , to play for England, because then I will never be allowed to go back to Wales..."

Bell chose the same path as his Welsh predecessor Ryan Giggs, even if he could not participate in a World Cup game in his life, he would only play for his home country.

Karl respected the other party's choice, and took advantage of the chat to brush up his favorability. Now that he can't cooperate now, it doesn't mean that he won't have a chance in the future-Bell is only 20 years old now, but he has already shown excellent talent in the Premier League. Living up to the title of "the most talented player in the history of Wales", if he can continue to grow without injuries in the next few years, he will grow to an amazing height sooner or later.When encountering good players, Karl always has the urge to take them all into his bowl.

The road on Bell's side is impassable, but Holtby's side has been silent after Carl made a phone call.

Speaking of which, Holtby’s situation is very similar to that of Carl—if Carl is a player—one of his parents is British and the other is German, with dual citizenship—think about it, if Carl is a player, then If invited by the two national teams, I am afraid that even he himself will have a hard time deciding where to go.

But even if Holtby does not choose England, Carl will not be discouraged. He will only appear more frequently in the various stages of the English youth team, and in the home courts of the Premier League teams. In order to add a little pressure to the current England internationals: don't think that everything will be fine after being selected to the squad once. As long as there is a little slack, there are many young players who want to replace them.

4月4日，英格兰足球青年超级联赛第10轮，南安普顿U21对阵阿森纳U21的比赛。

The 90-minute race time is over and the score is 3:4.

"Although it's just a youth league, this game is really passionate, and it can be compared with a professional league regardless of the scene and intensity!"

"Especially the forwards of the two teams, they behaved as if they had been slapped with chicken blood. If so? No, they want to show it to the national team coach in the stands!"

"That's right, as soon as the game started, the fans and players in the audience found a familiar figure in the stands - national team coach Karl Oston! Oston obviously came to inspect the players. The game started from the very beginning. In the end, he looked very seriously, and this move made the players very excited. The starting players all had smiles on their faces when they came on the court, and when one of them was replaced during the game, that The instantly downcast expression makes people want to ignore it even if they want to ignore it!"

"The attraction of the national team is so great, especially after there is a Wilshere in 92 and a Welbeck in 90, now the young players in England, everyone wants to be the second Wilshere, the second Welbeck!"

4月9日，英格兰足球青年超级联赛第11轮，纽卡斯尔U21对西布罗姆维奇U21。

"GOOOOAL! An angry shot from Newcastle striker Carroll! The score has become 2:0! Beautiful and powerful volley, Carroll's form is really good today, but let me say, his most outstanding goal The method is not a volley, but a header!"

Carroll on the pitch was trying to put on a mature and stable expression, trying to endure the joy of scoring a goal. The coach of the Three Lions in the stands looked calm, while the commentator from Newcastle in the studio had no scruples about whether the game was going to be good or bad. Speaking on the spot, they unscrupulously promoted their own players in front of everyone in the stadium: "The height of 191 gives Carroll an innate header advantage, and his ability to control the air is extremely strong, his skills are superb, and he often Beautiful one-on-one performances in front of goal! Andy Carroll, he's another piece of the puzzle that England are missing!"

In front of everyone, being praised by the narrator through the public broadcast, Carol's face was flushed, both excited and apprehensive.

Taking a peek at the stands, and seeing the coach of the national team lowering his head and remembering something, Carroll couldn't help but have some small fantasies in his heart: Could it be that Mr. Oston is writing my name?

4月17日，英格兰足球青年超级联赛第12轮，切尔西U21对阿斯顿维拉U21。

"Here it is again! Karl Oston! The man at the helm of the Three Lions! When he appeared in the stands in a striking three-piece suit, the whole stadium erupted!"

"For half a month, Oston has frequently visited U21 games. He has ignited the enthusiasm of all young players! The number of shots, the number of shots and the number of goals scored in the last four rounds of the youth league have significantly improved compared with the previous nine rounds of the league. All the players are eager to be favored by him, and then step up to the sky, set foot on the field of professional league and even the national team!"

"Although Auston did not announce which young player he came for, many fans believe that in time, there must be players from the U21 league promoted to the national team by him... Auston's recent actions also It has given the Premier League internationals a sense of crisis. Ferdinand, Terry and other veterans have recently been interviewed frequently to express their admiration for the national team coach. Refusing to call them up for the game..."

"Auston frequently visits the U21 field to inspect newcomers"

"The well-being of England's young players has arrived! "

"Newcastle U21 striker Carroll: Auston is my idol"

"Arsenal U21 player Chamberlain: I hope to have the opportunity to play for England" "Ashley Cole added training after the game, saying that he will improve himself for the national team game" "England captain Terry: I will not live up to the captain's armband heavy responsibility

Just when the media in the British Isles thought that Karl gave all his love to the youth league, and then began to pay attention to many young U21 rookies in England, the coach of the Three Lions changed his footsteps and rushed to the professional arena again.

April 4, Old Trafford.

Manchester United v Everton in the FA Cup semi-final.

After 90 minutes of the main game, the two teams with a score of 0:0 entered a penalty shootout. In the end, Everton defeated Manchester United with a score of 4:2 on penalties, and the upset was close to the FA Cup final.

"Manchester United, with four international players, has fallen into a heart-wrenching vicious circle just like the England national team-unbeaten in penalty shootouts."

"When Park Ji-sung shot Manchester United's last penalty, Auston in the stands covered his forehead with his right hand. Did he immediately think of the national team like us?"

"If the England team wants to gain something in the big game, the penalty shootout is a curse that has to be overcome. I don't know what means Auston will use to improve this national team, and I don't know if he can wash away the past. The humiliation of several coaches in the penalty kick final brought us surprises..."

September 4, Old Trafford.

The Champions League semi-finals of the 0809 season are in the first round, Manchester United vs. Arsenal.

After seven and 10 minutes of hard work, Manchester United finally won a direct free kick with a foul by the Arsenal defender.

Ronaldo stood in front of the penalty spot, took two small run-ups, and suddenly raised his leg and hit the lower part of the football!

The football flew in the air at high speed, drew a leaf-like arc, and fell rapidly in front of the Arsenal goal, and entered the goal like lightning!

"GOOOOOAL! A fantastic goal! After half of the match between Manchester United and Arsenal, they finally showed a turning point!"

"Ronaldo is the hero of Manchester United! After the goal, he opened his arms and hugged his teammates, enjoying the cheers to the fullest! The Manchester United fans in the stands were already boiling, and even Oston, who unexpectedly appeared in the box in the stands, was smiling …Smiling? Hey, shouldn’t Auston be distressed by Rooney’s poor form in this game? Why is he so happy? Ha, maybe it’s because Auston has a good relationship with Ferguson, so seeing Manchester United win Much happier!"

February 5, Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal host Manchester United in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

In the 61st minute, Ronaldo received an oblique pass from the edge of Rooney's penalty area and scored the goal. The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal!

"3:0! Regardless of whether Arsenal can score a face-saving goal in the next 20 minutes or not, Manchester United, which is tightening the entire line to preserve the fruits of victory, has already secured the victory of this game!"

"Entered to the Champions League final for the second consecutive year. This year, without 1860 Munich, which was so powerful and suddenly disappeared in front of the world like a shooting star, can Manchester United win the Big Ears Cup?"

On May 5, Craven Farm Stadium.

In the 37th round of the Premier League, Fulham welcomed Manchester United, who came to defend the league champions, at home.

There is little suspense about the outcome of this game. After 90 minutes, Manchester United defeated their opponents 2-0 away.

"Perhaps it was Oston's repeated 'inspection' and the 'confession' of the U21 young forwards that finally aroused Rooney's competitive spirit. With one pass and one shot, Wayne, who was in full condition, played in this game. The outstanding performance directly helped Manchester United secure the league championship this season one round ahead of schedule!"

"The award ceremony for the Premier League champions should be held in the last round of the league, which is the home game of Manchester United on the 24th, but Old Trafford is estimated to have put all their energy on the Champions League final on the 27th. Above, Ferguson is likely to ask the FA to postpone the league awards ceremony... If Manchester United can win the Big Ears Cup, then there will be two heavyweight championship trophies at Old Trafford. The fans showed!"

……

Carl, who does not forget his selfishness, has been very happy recently. He not only made a strong presence in the stands of Old Trafford, but also found a few good seedlings in the English U21 league—a pity They are all too young, most of them are players born after 93. Karl is still reluctant to destroy the flowers, so he has to circle the name and wait for observation. Maybe it will be used in the European Cup in 12?

At the same time, after the Premier League is completely over on May 5, he has also prepared a flight ticket to Rome with Manchester United. It is a great achievement for any team to reach the Champions League final for two consecutive years. Carl I want to witness the process of the birth of the king this year.

The UEFA Champions League final is recognized as the most influential football event with the highest level of competition other than the World Cup final and the European Cup final. Every participant must want to present his best side in front of the camera, whether it is the game state or physical appearance .

Rooney has recently complained in the locker room about the cruel reality that he has begun to bald before the age of 25, far more than before, and even mentioned "I wish I had a hair transplant operation in the New Year". The reason is that if Manchester United wins the championship, the bald man will not look as good-looking when he lifts the trophy when he has thick hair...

Karl checked the weather in Rome on the day of the game and prepared a brand new three-piece suit for himself.The Milanese master directly selected by the tailor has a strong Italian style in many design details.

As for Ronaldo, he recently took time out of his busy schedule to prepare more for himself. He even replaced the earphones he used for listening to music on the plane and bus with a new set.

The day before his departure, Carl got up early to take a shower in the bathroom, and suddenly found that the sewer was blocked. He turned off the tap and worked for a long time, and took out a pile of... wet hair from the sewer.

It happened that Ronaldo opened the door and came in at this time. He first glanced at Carl's clothes (only a white towel around him) and his posture (kneeling on one knee on the bathroom floor. Towel: I can't hold it anymore...), and then His eyes moved to Carl's hand, showing a shocked expression.

Carl: "You can't misunderstand me..."

Ronaldo blurted out in shock: "You just stayed in the bathroom for a long time, so it was just for shaving? You shaved so much?!" This amount is so much that it looks like it was shaved from an ape... Eh, obviously I saw Karl yesterday. Don't you have so much hair on your body?

Carl's black face: "I took these out of the sewer."

"..." Ronaldo's eyes flickered for a moment: "That's what you shaved off before, and the accumulated amount blocked the sewer."

"...This is obviously your leg hair!"

"Wrong! It's your armpit and chest hair!"

Carl picked up one: "Look, this one is curly. Your hair was a little curly when you just washed it."

Ronaldo tried hard to shirk responsibility: "Your chest hair is also curly, don't think I haven't seen it!"

"Look at the glossy black."

"Most hair looks black when wet! Doesn't it look black when you wash your hair? Blow dry! Blow dry and see the evidence!"

Carl hesitated for a moment: "...Are you serious?"

Ronaldo wanted to go back on his word...but he couldn't hold back his face and turned back: "Blow it, blow it dry."

Carl found a dry towel, threw the hairball on it to cover it, and took a hair dryer to blow through the towel for more than ten minutes.

After uncovering the towel, the black and dark blonde hairs were tangled together, and it was difficult to tell which was more.

The two looked at each other complicatedly.

Sure enough, they secretly shaved behind my back, and all of them rushed into the sewer! — Carl & Ronaldo.

After looking away, Carl rolled up the towel and went out to find the trash can. Ronaldo silently cleaned the bathroom again.

From the next day, the two of them had a tacit understanding and consciously stopped engaging in furtive shaving activities in the bathroom.

They changed the location to a bedroom.

Spread a few newspapers, step on them with bare feet, opposite to the full-length mirror, and hold a razor in hand.

This is actually very convenient, the only thing is, when one person is "working" in the bedroom with the door closed, if the other person pushes the door in without realizing it, there will be a high chance of seeing a scene of shame... …
