Jagged Wings

Chapter 13 I'm a national player, do you know how to respect?
"We'll Reyeshimup! (We will definitely let him promote again)

The next day, the English media Mirror published such a double-entendre headline, coupled with the scene of Reyes crossing Martin Cranney as the front page news, and praised Reyes for his wonderful performance without hesitation. Performance.

Literally speaking in English, Reyes (Reyes) can be interpreted as the meaning of repetition (Re) affirmation (Yes).Yesterday's two goals finally made "Reyes", who had been questioned because of "scraping the goal", affirmed by the media, but just like the English interpretation of his name, "Reyes" cannot just be In a flash in the pan, he proved himself again.

The Mirror is optimistic about Reyes' future. They believe that Neville's "rough tackle" may be a stimulus for "Reyes" to go upstream, making his cowardly appearance into a strong one.

When the media said this, it was a disguised form of giving in to Reyes.Reyes is not a person who "fights against the sky and has endless fun", so he acquiesced to the media's apology.

They never dreamed that the current "Reyes" is actually a person after time travel.

In the cafeteria of the club, Reyes was eating breakfast, looking at the speculation in the mirror in the newspaper, "hehe" and laughed straight: "You guessed wrong!"

Even the most fanciful critic can never guess the truth.

"Is it funny?" Xiaofa, who was sitting in front of Reyes, asked strangely. He found it strange that Reyes smirked since he got the newspaper.

After all, he is also a famous player, why does he look like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?

"It's nothing." Reyes stood up: "I'm going home, do you want to come to my house as a guest?"

After Reyes opened up the chatterbox, his relationship with Xiaofa also improved a lot. As the only Spanish-speaking players in the team, the two became good friends.

Of course, Xiaofa also admires this fellow who has become the main force of the club at a young age.

"Okay, I just don't know about Auntie..."

Although Reyes also has a dormitory at the club, his home is also in North London.Because Reyes showed strong dissatisfaction when he first joined the club, the club specially brought Reyes' parents to live with him in London.

Even in their home in London, all the furnishings are Spanish.

Reyes has such a character that his family has an unshirkable responsibility.

His mother, Mariana, a typical Andalusian matriarch, was a dominant housewife.It is under her meticulous "care" from childhood that Reyes has such a "female" character.

Reyes also has an understanding of the ins and outs of the process. Although it is time travel, it does not mean that he accepts Reyes' identity and accepts his parents. Of course, the necessary respect is still required.

**************
Outside a small courtyard in North London.

"Welcome to my home!" Reyes invited Faye into his home.

The Arsenal club still attaches great importance to this high-priced Spanish genius. They bought a small courtyard very close to the club for the Reyes family to live in.And also arranged work for Reyes' parents and brother.

"This is bigger than my house!" Xiaofa said with some jealousy, "I don't even have a yard!"

A few sycamores were planted outside the small courtyard, and the wide canopy of the trees concealed the house among the trees.The lawn in the small courtyard is well-kept, and in the flowerbed in front of the door, a few aloes and mints that are unique to Spain exude a charming fragrance.

Xiaofa followed Reyes into the small courtyard. There were some Spanish-style bonsai gardening in the small courtyard, decorated with some characteristic sketches, and even a set of log tables and stools.

But who knows, there will be a drastic change in this garden soon?
Reyes' mother Mariana was standing at the door, looking at her son with a smile: "Oh, my son, Antonio, you are back! Is this your friend?"

"Yes, mother! His name is Cesc Fabregas, and he is the only Spanish fellow in the Arsenal team." Reyes introduced Xiaofa to Mariana.

"Oh, it's Antonio's friend, come in quickly!" Mariana let the two into the room, where Reyes' father and brother were reading newspapers on the sofa.

"Wait a minute, lunch will be ready soon!" Mariana said.

After a while, Spanish-style meals were served, such as paella, fried fish, vegetable soup, cured ham, wine... These Andalusian specialties made Xiaofa, who also lived alone away from home, envious.

"I want to take my parents over."

At the dinner table, Reyes proposed to send his parents and elder brother back to Spain.This was strongly opposed by Mariana.

When Mariana agreed to Reyes to come to England, she was not ignorant of the obstacles that Reyes' personality would bring.But looking at the high kickbacks given by Arsenal, Mariana excitedly agreed to the transfer regardless of her son's objections.

Then there was the farce of Reyes not adapting to the British weather and taking his family to London.

The cause and effect were all caused by Reyes, a strong gypsy mother.

And now, Reyes doesn't want to be constrained by this "cheap" mother. In case one day when Chelsea's owner Abramovich waved his ruble, Mariana would "sell" him to Chelsea up?You know, Reyes' agent, Moya, is Mariana's natal relative.

There is no shortage of such "relative agents" in world football, the most famous being Anelka's "brother agent".Anelka's two older brothers switched Anelka's entire career between different teams in order to earn high kickbacks, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Manchester City and Fenerba Cut, Bolton, Chelsea is already his eighth club, and the accumulated transfer amount has reached 1.33 million euros.

Anelka lost himself in such continuous transfers. You must know that the original Anelka's talent was higher than Henry's!
Reyes shuddered when he thought of Anelka's two "brother agents".

"What, you asked us to leave England? God, Jose, are you out of your mind?" Reyes' mother Mariana looked surprised. She didn't expect her son, who had always been shy, to make such a request.

"Poor boy, did the Manchester United butcher shove your brains out?" Reyes' father also said.

"No, Dad!" Reyes said. "I feel like I've adjusted to life in England and I'm 21 now and I can take care of myself."

"But here in London there is no Andalusian cuisine, nor the bright sunshine of Spain, son, can you adapt?"

"I can adapt food anywhere!"

"But we won't have a job when we go back..."

Reyes said: "There is no problem with this, there will be enough fees charged to your card every month."

*************
In the end, Mariana and his wife couldn't hold back Reyes and agreed to return to Spain.

"I will deposit money into your bank account regularly, Mom." Reyes persuaded the stubborn Mariana with these words.

Reyes is now the main player of Arsenal's first team. Although his weekly salary is not as high as that of Chelsea, he still has no problem supporting his family.

Reyes, who has solved his family problems, also has less burden in his heart, and he can play more easily on the court.In the next few games, he showed a good competitive state and firmly pressed Van Persie on the bench.

Although they lost a focus battle with Manchester United, due to the sudden emergence of Reyes, Arsenal are still neck and neck with Mourinho's Chelsea in the standings. ups and downs.

In this context, Reyes ushered in the first "North London Derby".

The word "derby" originated from the Premier League. Because the two teams in the "derby match" are in the same city, the competition is often very fierce. As a result, their games have become extremely hot and ups and downs.

And a player who has a good performance in the derby can often win the hearts of fans more.

Therefore, Arsenal and Tottenham, both sides of this game, are trying their best to give each other a little color.

Although Reyes once experienced a "North London Derby" when he joined Arsenal in the middle of last season, but now it is replaced by Reyes who has crossed over, it is really a big girl getting on the sedan chair - the first time .

Among the Premier League stadiums, White Hart Lane is famous for its "shabby and small" and "inconvenient transportation", but it is such a home stadium, but it is known as the "Devil's Home Stadium".One of the most obvious examples is that Arsenal, as the arch-rival in the same city, has only won three victories here since the Premier League.

Although Tottenham's record this year is not good, the head coach has just changed.But the outside world believes that Tottenham's home court still has a great advantage.

Through the narrow player aisle, Reyes saw that the opposite stand was full of Tottenham fans in white jerseys.They sang the team song "Glory Belongs to Tottenham", and the sonorous and powerful rhythm penetrated into Reyes' ears through the walls with poor sound insulation.

Although he has participated in the professional league so many times, but facing the derby, Reyes found that he was still somewhat unprepared.

Reyes' heartbeat fluctuated with the singing, and he felt that his heart couldn't bear it, so he wanted to find something else to divert his attention.

Reyes looked sideways at the Tottenham Hotspur players who were standing on the other side of the field, and the Tottenham Hotspur player who was parallel to him, England defender Ledley King, noticed Reyes' gaze and turned his head smiled at him.

The dark skin sets off the extremely white teeth.

Reyes turned his head back blankly: he was a little nervous.

Bergkamp behind Reyes saw this scene, leaned up and patted Reyes on the shoulder: "Don't think of this as a derby, just treat it as an ordinary game!"

"Ok!"

After the start of the game, the two sides entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat without too many temptations.Although he was a little nervous at first, when he heard the familiar cheers from the stands, Reyes put the tension behind his head and felt full of strength instead.

Ledley King is the main substitute for the defender position of the England national team. In this game, his main defensive object is Reyes.But Reyes' range of activities is too large, and Ledley King doesn't get too many performance opportunities.

But his chance came, Vieira stepped forward to snatch the ball from Spurs, and then passed to the retreating Bergkamp.With the increase of age, Bergkamp's position also began to gradually move back. From the shadow forward at the beginning, he is now more like a midfielder, but the threat of "Ice Prince" remains undiminished.

Bergkamp protected the ball, slipped past Tottenham's two midfielders, and then lifted a diagonal pass to find Reyes, who was advancing.

After receiving the ball, Reyes galloped on the wing like a chariot of fire.

"Come on boy!" Ledley-King growled.Reyes didn't slow down so much, he didn't take him too seriously!

I'm a national player, do you know how to respect?Do you know how to respect the old and love the young?

Reyes still didn't slow down, he made full use of his speed and stride frequency advantages, and with an acceleration, he poked the ball out before Ledley King.

Ledley King's feet were still stretched out, and Reyes' man and the ball were already behind him.

After these few games, Reyes found that English defenders are generally tall and slow to turn around, so he used to use the method of "big foot poke" to deal with them.

I bullied you for slowing down, why?
