[Football] Crown of Thorns

After Christmas, Jia Ma felt very tired because he had to play a game as soon as he went to work.

The 'scandal' that was exposed made him tired, because he was hyped by the media and immediately after the so-called scandal was exposed, he and Monet just collaborated to shoot commercials, and his teammates were full of meaning-knowing that you can't fall in love Goddess—the eyes of the goddess are even more tiring.

Gama, who was very upset about this incident, was actually ashamed of being fined as soon as he went to work-the reason was a fight in the locker room-fortunately, he was not fined alone, everyone was fined, of course the fine The money is used as team party funds.

It's so fucking annoying!

Cheapskate Jiama was silently shouting.

He was patted heavily on the back, "Stop swearing, warm up quickly."

Jia Ma turned his head, Jie Baozi walked past him with a serious face.

Isn't it the first league game at work after the festival? Does Jie Baozi need to be so serious?

Jia Ma tilted his head, very puzzled by Jie Baozi's behavior.

At this time, his good midfield partner Joe Allen came over, "Shiko, warm up."

Joe Allen threw the ball over, and Gama raised his foot to catch the football, then tapped his left and right feet twice and passed it to Joe Allen.

The two communicated for a while, and found that the other party seemed a little lazy in spirit. The two midfielders looked at each other and moved their positions quietly. The football pulls his hands, hooks his feet and pulls his hands to make a posture of pulling a rod to move his joints.

"Steven looks so serious."

Jia Ma didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.

Joe Allen grinned, "Of course, Steven is probably in a complicated mood when he sees his old friend!"

"?"

Jia Ma was taken aback, "Old friend?"

Joe Allen, who already had a deep understanding of Gama's idiot-like attitude towards opponents, rolled his eyes.

"Owen!"

"Oh~~ Yuan Pei is here!"

The latter sentence Jiama was said in Chinese, which caused Qiao Allen to look strangely, "Why?"

Jia Ma secretly smiled and explained to Joe Allen what is meant by "prime spouse" and so on.

After listening to Gama's commentary, the corners of Joe Allen's lips twitched for a few moments before he couldn't help it, and he still laughed.

"The idea of ​​the Chinese people is amazing."

The two of them secretly laughed for a while, and Qiao Ailun said with a smile, "Reunited after many years of divorce? It shouldn't be counted. In the past two years, we have met many times."

Looking around, he found that neither the coaches nor the captains had noticed their side, and Joe Allen secretly took out his phone.

"Hey, you didn't put your phone in the locker room?"

Gama was very surprised.

Qiao Ailun gave him a white look, "It's not just that I didn't put it on, you carefully observe that many people are secretly carrying their mobile phones on their bodies!"

"If you get caught you will be fined."

"Hehe~~"

The corner of Joe Allen's mouth twitched, "Do you want to watch it or not?"

"Look."

Gama answered readily.

His reaction made Joe Allen give him an even more angry look, and the two turned slightly to block the other end. Joe Allen rummaged for a while and showed Gama the content on the phone screen.

"Daily Mail?"

Jia Ma glanced at the newspaper headlines, "The deputy team said that these tabloids cannot be trusted."

"Tsk sometimes their reports are true."

Joe Allen winked.

Gama quickly scanned the contents above.

The headline of the Daily Mail website: Owen is expected to come back to face the old master.

... In the 12th round of the league on December 26, Michael Owen is expected to return to face his former club Liverpool. The former England international has not participated in the game due to hamstring problems since he played against Sunderland on October 19.However, according to the news ahead of our reporter, Owen is very hopeful to come back.In an interview with the media, Owen himself also expressed his wishes: "I have good memories in Liverpool. I have never been so excited about playing against the Red Army. I have never scored them goals, and this does not make me happy. "

"No goals? Not happy?"

Even if Gama has no common sense, he has heard a lot of stories about the entanglement between the former golden boy of England and the Red Army and Jie Baozi. Although the Red Army may have really made Owen suffer on certain issues back then, But in any case, Irving grew up here and became famous here. His various responses to his old club after he left...

"So you know, whenever the media will hype Owen and the club's old affairs at this time, of course Steven will not be happy."

"Tsk, housework, I can't explain it clearly."

Gama pouted.

"The game at night is not easy to play."

After gossiping for a while, Joe Allen said this.

Jia Ma blinked and suddenly smiled, "Then we'll see."

Joe Allen glanced at him, "Hehe~~~"

…………

On the night of Thursday, December 2012, 12, at the Britannia Stadium, the home team Stoke City played against the Red Army Liverpool.

Before the game even started, the atmosphere in the stadium was already ignited.

Excited fans packed the stadium with less than 3 people to the brim. The fans of the home team excitedly waved their scarves and flags and sang cheering songs loudly. The dyeing is very lively.

Stoke City performed poorly at the beginning of this season, but in the few games before Christmas, they recovered their form and moved forward bravely. They scored 7 games, 4 wins and 3 draws, and the team points also jumped to the top of the standings. ten position.

Because of the improved performance, it has also won greater support from the fans. It can be seen from the number of fans present today. If it is not stipulated that tickets must be given to the visiting team, it is estimated that the Red Army will not even be able to squeeze in a fan.

At this point, the home team DJ at the scene triumphantly said the relevant news in a teasing tone, which attracted bursts of cheers from the home team fans, and in exchange for the indignant boos of the few Red Army fans.

The host in the TV camera took the time to explain the situation and information of the match between the two sides to the audience in front of the screen.

“……今天对阵双方在这两年间一共有11次的交战，斯托克城2胜5平4负，而在最近4次的双方交锋中斯托克城并无胜绩……”

"...Liverpool's goal this season is to compete for four Champions League seats. Coach Rodgers said before the game..."

"Liverpool's unbeaten record in the past 8 rounds is quite good, but judging from the season points, the prospect of the Red Army still has some problems, especially their offensive line..."

"...Irving was introduced in the summer transfer market, but Owen seemed powerless due to injuries. When there was news of his recovery from the injury in October, it was reported that Owen accidentally strained his foot in the gym. The ribs, the date of comeback will be forced to be postponed again. It can be said that the introduction of Irving is not a good deal for Stoke City..."

"Friends from the audience, it is now 12:26 in the evening of December 19th, local time in England. We are broadcasting the 45th round of the 2012-13 English Premier League live at the Britannia Stadium in England. Tonight's opponents are the Red Army Liverpool's away game against Stoke City is also the last game of this year's league between the two teams."

"Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides..."

斯托克城：1-贝戈维奇；2-卡梅伦、4-胡特、17-肖克罗斯、28-威尔金森；21-凯特利、6-惠兰、15-恩宗齐、26-埃瑟林顿、19-沃尔特斯；9-琼斯。

利物浦：25-雷纳；2-约翰逊、37-什克特尔、5-阿格、3-恩里克；21-卢卡斯、8-杰拉德、10-达加马；19-唐宁、7-苏亚雷斯、30-苏索。

"From the roster, we can see that the home team is a 451 formation today, and the visiting team continues their 433 formation... Both sides have serious injury problems, we can see... the Red Army midfielder Joe Allen did not start today..."

"...Another point of view in this game is whether Suarez can hit the top scorer in the half. For the second time, he quickly rushed to the top three in the scorer list. As of now, the Uruguayan striker has scored 11 goals in the Premier League this season, which also makes him second only to Michu and Van Persie in the scorer list. The third place. Considering that he is 2 goals away from Michu and Van Persie by 1 goal, so he has a very good chance to use goals to make himself the top scorer in the half..."

At this time, the players from both sides who had already stood at the entrance of the channel were chatting and others were quietly waiting to enter the field.

Gama looked up at the rebroadcast station on the side of the tunnel entrance. Although he couldn't see the people inside, apart from the cheering songs of the fans, he could hear the Red Army striker from the words he heard. topic of.

So the quiet Gama silently stared at the Uruguayan standing in front of him.

The nervous Suarez was grinning and talking to his teammates in front of him, but slowly he felt the fiery resentment from behind.

Suarez looked back, and Gama showed him a gentle smile.

Oh shit, Suarez swished his head back.

His midfielder's smile looks so dark and misty, it's scary!

Lucas, who was starting today, saw this scene, trembled inexplicably, and took a step back involuntarily.

Due to a thigh muscle strain in the game against Manchester City at the beginning of the season, the Liverpool midfielder Lucas played most of the league's first half of the season as a substitute. As a veteran of the Red Army at Anfield, the experienced Brazilian It was the first time to attack teammate Gama with a smile (murderous look) before the game.

The Brazilian, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, silently looked at his forward who was determined not to look back, and then looked at the clean and clear smile that Gama showed him this time.

As today's midfield partner, Lucas nodded silently, "Come on!"

Gama continued to laugh, "Okay, come on!"

…………

Lucas: ...can you please stop laughing! ! !

Gama: Why can't you laugh? (doubtful face)

Lucas: ... MD!
