[Football] Crown of Thorns

As young players who participated in the World Youth Championship, Gama and Veloso Jr. were the last two to come. When the two were led by the staff to the sidelines of the training field, other players were already on the field. Relaxation training.

When they noticed the arrival of the two teenagers, many players turned their heads and looked over.

Little Veloso slowed down a little nervously, and Gama, who was walking beside him, put his hands on his shoulders and turned his head to his side as if to speak.

"how?"

Handsome young man with head slightly sideways.

"Dude, you're nervous!"

Gama laughed softly.

"Who is nervous?"

Little Veloso snorted coldly, but his mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

Walking to the sidelines, the staff who brought them over waved to a person in the training ground.

The tall man in the arena was jostling with his teammates around him, he didn't notice the people coming from the sidelines at all, and the black guy with an afro was smiling and patting him, he Only then turned around.

When he saw the two teenagers on the sidelines, the young man grinned and walked over briskly.

He greeted the staff first, "Hi Rick," and then he looked at the young man, "New guy!"

Gama felt the little Veloso beside him froze for a moment, then he relaxed and smiled at the person, "Hello, Ronaldo, I'm Miguel Veloso, a left back from Sporting Lisbon. Kick the lower back."

The Ronaldo in front of him was not as arrogant or contemptuous as in the legend. He smiled brightly, even with a childlike innocence. He reached out and shook Veloso, "Welcome."

When his eyes turned to Gama, Gama couldn't help being a little nervous, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, I'm Jose Francisco da Gama, Mr. Ronaldo."

Ronaldo, who was called out by him, looked at him strangely and smiled, "Sir, Mr. Haha~~"

He bent over laughing, but his laughter didn't make people angry, it just felt like he heard something funny and couldn't help it.

In front of him, the current No.1 Portuguese star, the current No.1 C Ronaldo in world football, has seen and heard him countless times in news media and other reports. Gama has always felt that this person is just a legend There is no chance of meeting with him, but he never imagined that in two years, no, one and a half years, he stood in front of this Uranus superstar, looking at him clearly Looking at him, even the little mole on his face can be clearly seen.

Probably because he knew that his reaction was a bit strange, Ronaldo held Gama's hand, and Gama felt that his palm was very warm and slightly thick. I remembered that people with such palms are honest and honest people in oriental physiognomy, um, although I don't know if this person is really honest and honest, but what I see so far is only a young man who is enthusiastic and loves to laugh.

Gama remembers that Ronaldo took over as the captain of the national team in 2007, and this year he is only 24 years and 8 months old, and he is really a small captain.

"I'm not laughing at you, I'm just, just," Ronaldo seemed to be thinking about how to explain his laughter, but after a long time he couldn't figure out how to explain it, he laughed again, "Hello, I'm Ronaldo .”

"Hello there!"

Greetings again from Gama.

The laughing team leader laughed again, and Jia Ma thought he was a little silly, "Ga Ma, I heard you are a midfielder?"

"Yes."

"Midfield!"

The squad leader muttered for a while, blinked his eyes a little cutely, and grinned again after thinking of something.

It has only been two or three minutes since we met, and the team leader has smirked several times. Although he knows that the media reports are not reliable, his image is completely different from the proud and rebellious images described in the media reports. elephant.

Even the little Veloso couldn't help pulling Gama's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Is he really Ronaldo?"

"If there's no one pretending to be, it's him."

The corners of Jia Ma's lips curled up, and he replied with a suppressed smile.

Following behind the captain to the players, listening to the captain performing his duties as captain and introducing newcomers to his teammates, Gama calmly looked at these people from the corner of his eye.

The list of Portuguese training personnel:

Goalkeepers: Eduardo, Beto, Daniel Fernandez;

Defenders: Miguel, Ricardo Costa, Paulo Ferreira, Bosingwa, Carvalho, Alves, Pepe, Rolando, Duda, Coentrao;

Midfielders: Quaresma, Moutinho, Pedro Mendes, Thiago, Deco, Raul Moreles, Veloso, Gama

Forwards: Gomez, Simao, Dani, Lederson, Almeida, Nani, Ronaldo.

Silently counting the heads, Jia Ma found that adding the two of them was the actual number of 27 people, and just now I heard that the number of people in the report is complete, so that means that among the 27 people, 4 people will be eliminated in the future .

Gama squinted. According to the news, Bosingwa, the first of their back line, was injured and could not play at all.

Coupled with the fact that Duda, Quaresma, and Moutinho are not in very good condition, they may not be able to be selected for the final squad.

No wonder his agent said that Bento said that as long as he performed well, he would definitely be on the big list. Poor Uncle Bento probably couldn't help it—there was really no one left.

Gama laughed silently.

So isn't this his opportunity, the biggest opportunity is right in front of him, as long as he can seize it, it is the best opportunity.

Only one or two days of joint training can't make these players from different clubs into a whole, but Bento can't help it. Tomorrow's warm-up match was decided when Queiroz was there, and they can't go back on their word. No more, this is an international warm-up match stipulated by FIFA. If there is no important event, you must definitely not miss it. In addition, next week will be the draw for the World Cup qualifiers in the European Division play-offs. The battle of life and death is just around the corner. At least get familiar with it.

The two rookies first went to the team doctor for a physical examination.

"The two of you have just finished the game and experienced a long-distance flight. Your muscles are definitely exhausted. You must completely relax your muscles..."

After being checked by the team doctor, and after listening to the instructions, the two returned to the training ground, and under the arrangement of the assistant coach, they performed simple movements for muscle relaxation.

On the other side, the large troops are carrying out various relaxing activities that do not consume much energy.

And after noon, after the break, all members gave tactical lectures in the conference room.

Gama noticed that the head coach, Uncle Bento, did not completely deny Queiroz's tactics-although Queiroz's performance was not very good when he led the national team, as the discoverer of several important players in Portugal's golden generation, Queiroz himself He still has abilities, but his problem is that he can improve tactics but does not have his own tactical system. He has promoted newcomers but generally only believes in veterans. He lacks a lot of training for newcomers, and he has a lot of talents for the Portuguese national team. But it didn't play a good role. In fact, he is a theorist but not good at practice. It is no wonder that he did well when he was the assistant coach of Manchester United Ferguson, but he had a lot of problems when he became the coach.

Although the squad leader introduced the newcomers to everyone, at this critical moment of life and death, few of them had a relaxed attitude or the energy to deal with the newcomers, and neither of them had the qualifications to let the old team members get close to them.

However, Jia Ma was a little surprised to find that there was a young teenager who kept looking at them, looking like he really wanted to come and talk.

Gama, who was holding the plate, asked the little Veloso next to him in a low voice, "Miguel, do you know the blond one?"

Veloso glanced out of the corner of his eye, "I know, the defender of the Benfica club, Fabio Coentrao, in 88."

"I think he really wants to talk to you. Do you know him well?"

"My old man is the youth coach of Benfica."

Veloso laughed.

Tsk, the connections, the teachers come from the same school!

Gamache made a sound, and came over with a plate, "Coentram?"

Seeing Gama taking the initiative to snore, the golden retriever grinned, "You can just call me Fabio. Hi, Miguel, long time no see."

"It's been a long time since I saw you."

Miguel smiled and reached out to give Trent a high-five, "I saw it in the league in early September."

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Gama, "When we played against Benfica in the league in early September, we all played."

Gama nodded, "Since the league started, neither of your clubs and I have played against each other yet."

"No, I played, but you guys went to participate in the World Youth Championship."

Coentraon chimed in.

Gama was taken aback and thought about the schedule. He has already missed three league games. In addition to coming to the national team base to participate in the training camp, he may miss the fourth league game or even the fifth league game. "Oh, I forgot, I The second game after leaving was to play against Benfica.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to the outcome.

Coentrao smiled at him and showed his big white teeth, "1 to 0, we won."

Looking at his complacency, Gama pursed his lips, "One of the top three in the Portuguese Super League against our newly promoted horse, hehe~~"

Although he didn't say anything, he said everything.

Coentram's eyes widened, and he looked at this junior who did not give in to him.

Jia Ma pulled out his chair and sat down indifferently, then raised his head and asked, "You don't want to eat?"

Veloso laughed, pulled the chair on the other side and sat down, "Fabio, hurry up and eat!"

The cheerful Coentraan immediately sat down and smiled at Gama, "Not bad!"

"Where is~"

Jia Mapi grinned with a half-hearted smile.

Although he needs to be modest and low-key when he first joins the national team, sometimes he still needs to be tough, especially when he is aiming at the main midfield position. For these players who want to work together, let them know that he is not easy to bully , If you are strong, he will be weak. This principle is the same wherever you go.

If you want to conquer the court by strength, you can't bow your head easily, it's the same in every aspect.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble." Veloso looked at the two of them helplessly. He is really a hard-working man. He came here to rescue Gama. This stinky boy was obviously in the national youth team. The cold and aloof, now this is eating gunpowder, and his temper has become bigger.

"No trouble!"

Gama winked at him.

Seeing Gama's actions, Coentraan also made a grimace, "Miguel, laugh, smile more."

"P!"

Rolling his eyes at the two of them angrily, Veloso lowered his head, dug up a mouthful of salad and ate it, and ignored them lazily.

Seeing this, Gama also started eating.

The three of them silently chewed a nutritious meal like that.

At this time, Gama missed Joanna's good craftsmanship especially - today is Thanksgiving, although he has no idea of ​​that kind of holiday - they are eating boiled chicken breast, so pitiful!

PS: Golden Retriever is still playing in Benfica at this time.
