48 First call-up from the national team

After watching the game, Leo roughly estimated the time, and when he called his dad, Zidane just finished the post-match press conference.Leo expressed his congratulations to his father on the phone. The father and son had a brief conversation, because Zidane had other things to do, and the call ended quickly.

Leo looked at the time, hesitated for a while, and decided to go to bed. The phone rang as soon as he got on the bed after tidying up. He didn't need to look at the caller ID to know that the call must be from Ronaldo.I don't know when it started, but the two of them developed a habit of calling each other after each game to chat casually about the current round of the league or the Copa del Rey.

But today Real Madrid's game time is relatively late. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening after the game. The players rested in the locker room for a while, took a shower and drove home at one o'clock in the morning.Leo thought that anyway, he would rest the next day and call the Great God after waking up, but he still called.

The Great God spoke in a bad tone: "What are you doing?"

"Get ready to sleep." Leo told the truth.

"Didn't you still call your dad just now? Get ready to go to bed after the call, okay, then go to sleep."

The president's tone was full of "I'm not happy", Leo turned over and buried his head in the quilt: "Why, I'm not in a good mood for not scoring a goal today"

He must be in a bad mood. After this round of the league, he fell to second place in the scorer list, 2 goals behind Suarez.But the president will never admit that he is unhappy because he didn't get the data against the small team: "Little Leo, you are changing the subject."

"This is my dad's first game as the head coach of Real Madrid's first team. They beat Deportivo 5-0. It was such a perfect night. Of course I have to call to congratulate him." Leo mentioned his dad, his tone It's full of pride.

But this pride is directly multiplied by two in Ronaldo's displeasure just now. I don't know if the young fans will use such a proud tone when they mention themselves in front of others: "But your idol is not there tonight." Goal, the scorer list is 2 goals less than the Uruguayan striker of the arch-enemy, why don't you call him to comfort him?"

Hearing a 3-year-old child acting like a baby on the phone at night, Leo said that his current mood is a bit delicate: "Stop making trouble, my male god is the most amazing football player on the planet, how could it be possible for him to die because he is 2 goals behind in the scorer list?" Need consolation and his assists today are very exciting, not losing at all to the two strikers who scored goals."

"" The president found that his little fan who is not good at words can now say such provocative words without any trace but hit people's hearts directly, "I heard that you slapped Neville in the face hard today, he is my English teacher .”

Leo pretended to be panicked: "Oh, what should I do? I accidentally slapped and swollen your English teacher's face."

"Haha, it's okay, just hit it if you hit it."

The camera captured the scene of Leo running to the bench to find Parejo to exchange jerseys, and it happened that Neville next to him stared at Leo with a shocked face. Ronaldo has seen it in the eyes of countless opponents, and I have to admit that the feeling is really cool

Leo received a call from the French Football Association one week in advance. First of all, he congratulated him on being selected for the 31-man training squad of the French national men's football team. It is the highest honor for every athlete to wear the national team uniform and fight for the glory of the country. .

Since Zidane announced his retirement in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, many outstanding players have emerged in French football, such as Nasri, Ben Arfa, Menes and Benzema who shined in the European U2004 Championship in 17 Four of them, they were once known as the "Four Little Swans" in French football; another example is the Juventus midfielder Pogba who won the Golden Boy Award in 2013 after overwhelming all the demons; Griezmann, the sharp striker of the two; or the new golden boy Martial introduced by Manchester United for 5000 million euros

But in the past ten years, no matter how high the outside world has given the French team's training list, there will always be people who say "only one Zidane is missing".

It took them almost no time to find Zidane, from Platini's retirement until France lifted the Trophy on home soil in 1998.This Algerian immigrant descendant led the French national men's football team to unprecedented glory, becoming the first team in world football to win the European Cup two years after winning the World Cup.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the French team, with an average age of over 30 years old, stumbled under the leadership of Zidane and barely entered the knockout stage with the second place in the group, but they made great progress all the way to the final. 3 to 1 reversal of Spain, 1 to 0 victory over Brazil with Ronaldinho Rocca, 1 to 0 Lectra "Golden Generation" Portugal

The 34-year-old man with a bald head and the captain's armband slipping off his arm frequently.Some people commented on the French team vs. Brazil team in the 14-finals. Zidane played the defending champion with applause by himself.His Real Madrid teammate Ronaldo looked at him after the game, full of disappointment, helplessness and admiration.

However, the unimaginable red card in the final against Italy broke the dreams of many fans on the scene and in front of the TV.How many fans shed tears when he passed the Hercules Cup.

The curtain call was not perfect. After the game, Zidane accepted FIFA’s investigation into the matter and said: He will not apologize for the Materazzi incident on his head. What he should apologize is that he is watching this in front of the TV. The kids of the game, because he set a bad example for them.

No one knows what Materazzi said to Zidane at the time, but it can make the opponent lose his mind at an important moment in the World Cup final and the last game of his career. I have to admit the verbal attack of the Italian first substitute central defender The force is indeed worthy of their title.

Since then, French football has been looking for the successor of this legendary superstar for ten years, and it has not been found until now.

From the moment he woke up, Leo had a deep memory of the scene where Zidane received a red card over Materazzi in the final and then left the field sadly.That was the last and biggest regret of his father's career.It is precisely because of such an obsession that he resolutely chose the path of a professional player in a daze after his rebirth.

No one knew how excited Leo was to be selected into the French national team training list by Didier Deschamps this time.In any case, this is the most important step he has taken towards his dream. As long as he trains hard and performs well, he believes that one day he can make up for his father's regrets and lead the French team back to the top of world football. Embroidered second star on left chest.

However, what happened afterwards brought some small troubles to his national team journey.

Leo always likes to hang out with Marquis and Lucy after training.The two little friends are both Ronaldo's fanboys and fans. When Leo was training in the gym, the two of them chatted endlessly beside him.In fact, Leo listened very carefully. There were many gossips and gossips that he had never heard of. Every time he listened to their gossip, he felt that he had a new understanding of the wealthy neighbor next door.

However, one day, Leo went to the medical room because of a small injury during training. When Lu Xi saw him, he had no enthusiasm at all. Then Leo remembered that she hadn't seen this girl in the gym for several days.

Lu Xi helped him deal with the injury on his hand without saying a word, and then continued to look through the book on the table without raising his head to treat nervous system disorders.Leo looked down, and then closed her book with a big wave of his hand: "If I'm not mistaken, you should hold this book upside down."

Lu Xi reluctantly gave him a smile that was uglier than crying: "You can still understand Chinese."

"It doesn't matter, what matters is that you are distracted. You just applied 95 medical alcohol to my open wound."

"" Lu Xi immediately jumped up from the stool, and as soon as he took his hand, he was about to remove the gauze, "let me see."

Leo held her wrist backhand: "Tell me what's wrong with you first"

"It's okay." The girl wanted to withdraw her hand, but Leo didn't let her go.

When the two were in a stalemate, Marchis came in from the door: "So you two are hiding here, I've been looking for you for a long time, what are you doing?"

Leo also realized that he was a little rude, and then let go of the girl's wrist: "I'm sorry, but I still want to know what made you so distraught."

The girl lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I think I'm going back to China."

""

Leo hadn't spoken yet, but Marquis asked first: "Why didn't you study for 2 years? Why are you going back to China in only half a year?"

Lu Xi smiled bitterly: "Leo, do you still remember the Chinese player you saw in Vallecano? I came to Spain because of him. Now his loan period ends early. I don't think I need to continue." stay here."

"He's your boyfriend" Leo asked tentatively.

Lu Xi shook her head: "no, it's just my wishful thinking."

"Then why did you give up your studies for him?" Marquis asked puzzled.

"" Lu Xi couldn't answer this question.

Leo asked, "Does he know?"

Lu Xi shook his head.

After getting along and getting to know each other in the past few months, Leo admired the academic rigor and research of this Chinese girl very much.Although as she said, she came to Spain because of that Chinese player, but she did not perfuse her studies, and the traditional Chinese medicine he mastered is indeed miraculous for orthopedic injuries that players often encounter.

Leo had thought about inviting her to Madrid when he left Granada in the future. He really felt that this girl would be of great help to him in his future career.And he is also willing to help girls achieve higher achievements in the field of sports medicine.

However, what he didn't expect was that the girl had such a hidden secret when she came to Spain.But it is obviously an unwise decision for Lu Xi to give up his studies and bright future.

Leo wanted to keep her as much as possible, so he said to Marchis: "Don't you always want me to go out with you, there is a Real Madrid King's Cup match tonight, the three of us will find a place for you How about idol cheering?"
