85 The Rise of a Demon Star

Marquis leaned closer: "You are my thigh, of course you have to cover me."

Leo gave him a disgusted look, and shook the empty water bottle in his hand: "Okay, go out and get me a bottle of water."

Marquis curled her lips: "You really treat me like a younger brother." Having said that, she walked out of the gym to get water for him without hesitation.

Lu Xi looked at Marquis's back, turned around and asked Leo: "How about a big star, he won't be back after three league games"

Leo is also thinking about this issue. It is only the beginning of May, and there are still nearly two months before the summer transfer period.Although Mendes told him that he had received calls from many clubs about their transfer intentions, they did not include the one Leo most wanted to go to, so he did not express any opinion on it.

Mendes knew very well what Leo was waiting for, and he also knew his personality very well. He didn't want to mention this matter for the time being. No matter how many phone calls bombarded him, he would just say it after the European Cup.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Xi asked again: "You must want to go back to Real Madrid, don't you?"

"What about you?" She guessed what was on Leo's mind, but Leo didn't answer directly, but threw the question back.

"I will continue to study in Granada, and I will graduate in another year." It sounds like she is impatient to stay in Granada to complete her studies.

Of course Leo knew that her graduate student had one more year to graduate: "I mean what's your plan after graduation?"

Lu Xi thought for a while and said, "Go back to China, or continue to study for a doctorate. In fact, I don't know where to go after graduation. If I continue to study, I want to go to Germany."

"If Marquis can't continue to play in the club after Granada is sold, no matter where I go next season, I won't care about him." Only then did Leo speak his mind.

"Then if you go back to Real Madrid, even though your father is the head coach, it's impossible for him to follow you to Real Madrid."

Leo didn't think about it at all. In fact, he didn't even know if he could return to Real Madrid: "Where do you want to go? I'm still here if I have the ability."

"Actually, the reason why the club and the Chinese owner have been unable to reach a deal is because of you. You alone can buy a team in Granada. Who would be willing to spend double the price for some reason?"

Classmate Leo, who has always been modest, said: "Maybe after the European Cup, they will think that the double price is more than worth the money."

Marquis, who brought Leo back with water, happened to hear his "rhetoric words", so he added in passing: "Then what if the French national team doesn't warn you?"

Leo took the kettle and glanced at him: "Can you chat?"

The three laughed and laughed for a while in the gym, talking about the gossip about the acquisition of Granada by the Chinese boss.The condition stated last year was that the company from China would acquire 4000% of the shares held by the Pozzo family at a price of 60.00 million euros. However, the Chinese boss thought the price was too high and was only willing to pay 3700 million euros.The two sides did not negotiate at the time, and later Leo came to Granada again, which became the biggest variable in this deal.Not only is his own worth frighteningly high after a season, but also because Granada's performance after having him is much better than before struggling on the relegation line.

Therefore, this acquisition transaction has been off for a year, and now it is time to conclude it.The Pozzo family offered a price of 8000 million euros, double that of the same period last year.The mood of the Chinese boss can be imagined, and now he has to pay 300 million more for the mere 4000 million euros.Of course, because the team owns Leo, they won't suffer a loss if the deal is finally reached.Everything depends on Leo's performance against France in the European Cup. If there is a blockbuster, the 4000 million euros can be recovered properly.If the performance is not good, it will not be a loss for Leo's performance in La Liga.

When the time was about the same, Leo went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, and then went out for dinner with his two friends.It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when he got home, and it had been a while since the video time he made an appointment with the president every night. He hurriedly dug out the ipad, and when the call was connected, he seemed to be waiting impatiently.

C Luo was sitting on the sofa holding Mini, and a large plate of fruit salad was placed in front of the two of them, which made Leo swallow his saliva.He arranged the ipad on the coffee table, went to the refrigerator to get juice, and then came back to sit on the sofa and chat with the father and son.

Mini Luo showed his brother Leo the work he created on his father's wrist. It was a watch carefully drawn by the little cute stroke by stroke, and it looked full of childishness.Leo gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "It's more beautiful than any of your father's watches."

Mini Luo asked, "Then shall I give you a piece too?"

In order to make the children happy, Leo replied against his will: "Okay, thank you."

The father and son are indeed biological, and both have the problem of giving away watches.

Ronaldo was listening to the two of them chatting happily, and the little guy insisted on Leo coming back to Madrid on the weekend.This was naturally his idea, so he let his son entangle Leo until he had no choice but to agree.

When the time was about the same, Ronaldo coaxed his son to sleep, and the two of them had time to chat alone for a while.

The president said: "I heard it just now, you promised to go back to Madrid to accompany him on the mini weekend."

Leo hesitated, so he had to smile helplessly: "I remember that your game this week should be an away game against Real Sociedad."

"Yes, your game is 6 hours later than mine, so you can meet your boyfriend when you come back to Madrid the next day."

"But"

"No, but, I just let you come back on weekends. You should be glad you didn't come back every day."

"Forehead"

"You have promised Mini, but you can't deceive the children."

"OK then."

In the 35th round of the league, Granada played against Las Palmas at home in Carmenes.Because most of the fans know that Granada can't keep Leo, and the few games left this season may be his last performance on behalf of Granada.So they not only tried their best to watch the game on the spot, but also waited hard outside the stadium.No matter how tired or late the game is, Leo will try his best to meet the fans' autograph or group photo requirements. They have given him all the support and trust this season, and what he can repay everyone is to do his best to win the final Three games, including the final round against Barcelona.

The game against Las Palmas is another tough battle.Less than 10 minutes into the game, Las Palmas relied on No. 20 midfielder Vieira to score two goals in a row, leading 2-0.Not to mention the Granada players on the field and the head coach Kepa on the sidelines, even the fans in the stands were stunned.They sang the team's anthem in high spirits and in unison, and the voices of cheering and cheering kept coming and going.With the visiting team's two goals, all the voices gradually died down, leaving only boos in the stands.

This time the savior was still Leo. Just 1 minute after the opponent's second goal, Leo received a pass from Franrick in the center of the penalty area, and took the ball with his back in the situation where the opponent's defender interfered. He turned around and hit the goal with his left foot, and the ball flew into the goal from the lower right corner.

In the tight opening 10 minutes, the two sides combined had 3 wonderful goals, and the game was fierce.However, this was just the beginning. Two minutes later, Las Palmas' No. 2 single arrow Araujo's header hit the crossbar in front of the goal line. Spalmas' men had broken the ball out of the box before, and Granada had a quick counter-attack.

Leo's run with the ball is a nightmare for any team, and Las Palmas is the same.The defenders have nothing to do with him, and even a tactical foul can't keep up with his speed.When he broke into the penalty area with the ball, he calmly kicked the ball and crossed the ball. Franrick who outflanked came up with a single-handed shot. Granada evened the score in just 3 minutes.

Leo and Franrick, two teammates who assisted each other to score, clapped and hugged each other. The enthusiasm of the home fans in the stands was rekindled, and the war songs rang out one after another throughout the Camenes Stadium.The emotions of Las Palmas coach Enrique Setien and Granada coach Paco Hermes on the sidelines were even more ups and downs than riding a roller coaster.

In the next game, the two sides broke fast and defended fast, frequently threatening the opponent's defense in front of the goal. In the first half alone, the two sides each had as many as 10 shots, of which 4 goals were scored and 2 hit the goal frame. The excitement of the game was not lost to giants like Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Just a few minutes before the end of the first half, Leo's shot in the opponent's penalty area hit the opponent's defender's hand and flew out of the baseline. Several Granada players raised their hands to complain to the referee that the penalty kick was invalid. As a result, the referee on duty just gave a corner kick.

Leo originally wanted to take the corner kick, but the captain said that his height had an advantage in fighting for the header in the penalty area, so Max walked to the corner flagpole with the ball by himself.

The ball was driven into the penalty area, and Leo didn't grab the first point, but the ball accidentally fell to his feet when the opponent cleared the siege. In the chaos, he just felt countless legs shaking in front of him. In the gap of 0.1 seconds, he kicked and shot. Because the distance was too short, the powerful shot went straight to the dead corner. The goalkeeper was powerless and could only watch the ball cross the goal line.

Before the end of the first half, Granada completed the overtake from the opening two goals behind because of Leo's two shots and one pass.The atmosphere of the fans at the scene reached its peak. Leo's name was heard in the stands like a wave. Although he had heard it many times, he was still very moved on the field.

Perhaps the game was too intense and tense in the first half, but in the second half the game turned into garbage time. For a full 45 minutes, there were not many shots, but there were several more yellow cards for both sides.

Leo was replaced by Paco early in the 70th minute of the game, because they had to challenge Sevilla and the leader Barcelona in the last two games of the league.The thickest thighs in the team will naturally get the most rest and maintain the best competitive state.

In the sixth round of League No.30, Granada defeated Las Palmas 3-2 at home.However, the thigh that was replaced in advance did not stay in Granada for a good rest on the rest day after the game, and flew back to Madrid early the next morning.

This is the first time that Leo returned to Madrid and did not return to his own home, but lived in the mansion of the president next door. Ronaldo was worried that it would be a little embarrassing for him to meet Zidane or Veronica on the way back by driving, so he got up early in the morning and went to the airport to pick them up.

In his heart, Leo was very guilty of his behavior of not going home to see his parents when he arrived at the door of the house. How sad it would be if Zidane and Veronica knew that their son was next door but didn't go home.He turned to look at Ronaldo: "Why don't I go home and have a look."

Someone immediately rejected his proposal: "No, didn't you agree to come back with me? Mini is still waiting for you at home."

""

As soon as he entered the yard, Leo saw Mini Luo sitting on the doorstep with the golden retriever named Ronny.The little guy jumped into his arms with a happy face, and the dog followed him around several times.Leo freed his hand to pat the golden retriever's head, and Ronny walked away obediently.

Mini was naturally very happy to see Leo, and he couldn't wait to take his father and Leo to the yard after sitting in the living room for a long time.The two played with Ronaldo on the small court for a while, and finally, at the suggestion of Ronaldo, the father and son competed for penalty kicks.Leo took the initiative to ask to be the goalkeeper, but the stadium is small and the goal is even smaller. Leo stood there like a goalkeeper, so he had to squat down to guard the goal when Mini Luo took a penalty kick.

The father and son each take five free throws, and the loser will be punished by doing 10 push-ups.However, the outcome depends entirely on who the goalkeeper wants to win. Except for the two goals that Mini kicked into Leo's arms because the angle was too right, the other three balls flew into the net under his brother Leo's motionless gaze.

Naturally, the president didn't get such a good treatment. All five balls were saved by Leo without exception. He didn't even need to move when he stood still, just stretching his arms was enough.

So someone who lost the game refused to be punished obediently, and pushed the responsibility on the goalkeeper, insisting that he help him complete ten push-ups.

Leo said: "You set the rules of the game yourself. If you lose, you have to play tricks. How can you educate children like this?"

Luo Sansui was not convinced: "I lost because you let the water go."

Leo said: "Aren't you talking nonsense, if I don't release the water, you two can't score a single goal."

Mini Luo looked at his father and then at Brother Leo: ""

The two of them quarreled for a long time, and the final result was that the three of them did ten push-ups together.Although Mini Luo is only over 5 years old, he works out with his father all the year round, and does push-ups in a decent manner, which is not ambiguous at all.

During the lunch break, the president originally wanted to do something with the little fan he hadn't seen for a long time on the bed, but was disturbed by his precious son.The little guy insisted on taking a nap with his father, and then the president's big bed covered with leopard-print sheets turned into two adults, one kid, and three people.

The weather in Madrid is very good today, sunny and sunny.After the lunch break, the president originally wanted to take his two babies out for a walk, but Leo was afraid that he would be photographed again like last time, so he refused decisively.

So the three of them still stayed at home, but had nothing to do. Ronaldo suddenly wanted to go swimming in the yard on a whim. Leo and Mini Luo looked at him in astonishment. Although the temperature outside Madrid is close to 30 degrees, it is only the beginning of May after all.If you really want to swim, you can go to the indoor heated swimming pool, why do you have to go to the yard?

The president happily went back to the room to change into a swimsuit, and Leo hid three feet away with Mini Luo in his arms. Ronaldo sat on the edge of the pool and waved to them, but the frequency of shaking their heads was the same for the big and small.The president didn't recruit him, but he recruited their golden retriever.

Ronny stuck out his tongue, wagging his tail and galloped happily towards his master. Ronaldo touched his beloved pet's head with a loving smile on his face, and in the next second he lifted him up, turned around and threw him into the swimming pool. The moment ronny fell into the water, the splash was as high as half a person. Leo took a few steps back holding the mini Luo, and looked at his boyfriend with "damn mentally retarded" clearly written in his eyes.

The president was sitting by the pool by himself, laughing in disarray, but Ronny swam to the shore calmly.You can tell from its expression that this is definitely not the first time it has been treated like this by its owner. Ronny shook the water off his body, turned around and walked back to his little house, Ronaldo clapped his hands and called its name twice, and the loyal little thing rushed over again shaking its head and tail.

Leo went to the side to fetch two bath towels, threw one to someone who was still laughing by the pool, and he took the other to wipe off the water stains on Ronny's body.

In short, as long as you stay with Ronaldo, you will not be bored even at home. He always has endless new tricks to make the ordinary weekend rich and full of imagination.Although Leo often looks at him with mentally retarded eyes, he has to admit that he is different from his domineering on the court. In his life, Ronaldo is like a child who can't grow up. He is even crazier than a real kid like Mini Luo. .But this kind of Ronaldo has another charm, which makes people want to stop.

After the rest day, Leo returned to Granada.During the two-day vacation in Madrid, there was no rest during the day and night, which was more tiring than training.Leo even needed to catch up on sleep on the plane, and had to go straight back to the club for recovery training in the afternoon.

Sevilla is now temporarily ranked seventh in the standings, followed by Granada in eighth, with only a 2-point difference between the two sides.The most important thing is that according to the competition rules of La Liga, the final of the Copa del Rey will be held on the 22nd of this month, and Sevilla will compete with Barcelona for the championship at the Calderon Stadium.If Sevilla wins the championship, it will directly qualify for the Europa League, but if Barcelona wins, there will be an extra Europa League spot for the seventh-ranked team in the league.

Therefore, the importance of this game to the two teams can be imagined.

Coach Paco attaches great importance to this week's preparations, even more than Real Madrid. After the daily routine training, there will be targeted training on Sevilla's technical characteristics.Watching the game video, Leo's eyes were sore, red and red like a rabbit. After going to the hospital for an examination, there was no infection, trauma or other lesions, and the doctor was helpless.I had to prescribe some eye drops to nourish the eyeballs, but Leo followed the doctor's advice to drop them 5.6 times a day, but there was no effect.Seeing that the game was only two days away, his eye problem really made the whole team suffer.

Lu Xi said: "you are on fire, eye drops are useless."

Marchis asked, "What is lit."

Lu Xi said, "when you get angry, you get angry."

"Feudal superstition," Marchis said.

Lu Xi said, "I'll stab you to death with a needle."

Leo rubbed his eyes helplessly: "You can think of a way for me, the game is about to begin."

"Don't rub it with your hands, be careful of infection." Lu Xi slapped his hand off, and gave him a pack of Chinese medicine decoction pieces, "Go home and soak in water."

The person who questioned this was Marchis: "You won't have any problems with drinking, you will go to Seville to play in two days."

"Don't worry, you won't die if you drink it."

Leo also took it without hesitation, went home and mixed it with water and drank it for two days, as expected, his eyes were healed.Marchis looked at Lu Xi like a monster: "what on earth did you feed him so effective?"

Lu Xi snorted softly: "the secret recipe handed down from the ancestors will not be passed on to the outside world. I'll give you some too"

Marquis was scared away by her, but Leo asked seriously: "It's really an ancestral secret recipe."

Lu Xi chuckled: "chrysanthemum, wolfberry, and cassia seeds can be bought in our prescriptions. It's just for convenience that I bring over decoction pieces, which I usually drink for fun."

"If I mean if you don't know where to go after graduation, you can come to me."

"What are you doing, big star, do you want to keep me?"

"sure."

""

The football game is so attractive because it is full of unpredictable and dramatic developments. I thought it would be a difficult game against the traditional powerhouse Sevilla. Unexpectedly, the first half is not over yet. Lanada is already leading 3-0.

Leo completed a hat-trick in just 10 minutes, and his condition on the field was so good that his opponents and his teammates were a little scared.The opponent's defender saw him holding the ball as if he had seen a ghost, and fouled immediately without hesitation.After the game of this season, Leo encountered countless malicious fouls, tactical fouls and dangerous moves on the field.The moment he stretched his legs, his body reacted faster than his brain, which ensured that he would not get hurt every time.

Paco's attitude towards him is more polite than Zidane's attitude towards Ronaldo. He was replaced immediately at the beginning of the second half. Good form against Barcelona.

No one thought that Granada would easily beat a strong enemy like Sevilla with a big score of 4-0 in the away game.After the game, the covers of various media, without exception, were all about Granada's magical No. 5 player.

"3 goals in 7 games, Leo Fernandez is crazy."

"As long as this competitive state is maintained until the European Cup, plus a few other demon stars in the team, and they are fighting at home, isn't the French team heading for the championship?"

"Granada is probably going to rely on Zizu's son to make a lot of money this summer. The giants in the other four major leagues have offered him olive branches, but his agent Mendes is very supportive of Leo next season. Whereabouts are not mentioned."

"Fight against Barcelona in the last round of the league, last time they slapped Cosmos in the Camp Nou Granada, this time Barcelona will definitely have their main force facelifted at the Camenes Stadium to avenge their shame."
