[Football] Crown of Thorns

No matter how mediocre he was in the warm-up match, Gama, who was very aggressive in this game between Dortmund and Leverkusen, became popular all of a sudden.It’s not that he wasn’t well-known before, it’s just that he was hyped as a “parallel importer” because of his poor performance. The salaries of the players are also in a state of being able to reduce or increase or exempt - so Gama, who came at the price of this season's club transfer record in recent years, naturally became the eyes of many people' Mistakes' existence.

Even though Gama is getting along well with the two local young players, Svend and Gotze, but if he continues to slump in the official league, do you think they will still be so close to Gama? One is only on the training ground Players who show off their power are not respected, whether they are teammates or opponents.

Knowing this, Gama knows the importance of continuing to perform.

Gama clenched his fists when he heard the coaching staff inform him that he would start in the second round of the Europa League play-offs on the 26th.

He doesn't want to be ridiculed for driving high and low, so he must perform better.

"Are you used to the team now?"

On the phone, his unscrupulous agent asked him.

"You should know that I have to adapt."

Gamar was running on the treadmill with a bluetooth on his ear, sweat dripping down and staining the black vest on his upper body.

Although the homeowner requested that the facilities in the house not be changed, the request to renovate the original fitness room so that Jiama can do part of the training content at home was agreed by the homeowner, and his agent was still very helpful. Marathon has a sports equipment sponsor. Although it is not a big-name manufacturer, it is also a company that has established factories for many years. The quality of the customized professional sports equipment is quite good, and it can withstand Gama's "toss" (Agostinho) .

Of course, the smile on the unscrupulous manager's face when he said this made Jia Ma want to kick him out.

My lord, am I the kind of person who wants to eat what he wants?

As a professional player, it's okay to relax properly, but if you do that kind of ahem, you won't have the face to say it if you get injured, okay?

"I know you are innocent, just to remind you to pay attention to safety when you want to do it, and you must wear a condom!"

Agostinho warned Gama very seriously.

"roll!"

This is the reply of Gama who raised two middle fingers.

It was a conversation between the two in the converted gym.

Back to the present, last night played at home, and when Gama was doing morning practice at the house in the morning, he received a call from his agent.

I received a congratulatory text message from my agent last night, and today I received a direct call. Tsk, Agostinho must be worried that he will ruin his cash cow, that black-hearted cheapskate.

"Shiko, you have to know that the Poles and Japanese who moved to Dortmund with you have played more opportunities than you in the previous games, and their performances are also quite good. In their hometown, the local media has done a lot of publicity for the two of them, especially the Japanese, I read some Japanese reports with translation software, it’s really~~" Agostinho clicked his tongue Mouth, "But you are different. Due to the situation in the previous game, the attitudes of the sponsors I was talking about were a little hesitant. They want to see if your state has improved before continuing the negotiation, my boy. That’s money!!! A lot of money~~”

The corners of Jia Ma's lips twitched and he turned off the treadmill, and if he continued to run like this to talk to the unscrupulous manager, he would definitely fall off.

"What's the matter with that, don't find me advertisements for those small brands anymore, it's too cheap."

"Yo, you still know how to drop the price!"

Agostinho said in a strange way, "If you really know that the price will drop, why don't you show yourself! Those big-name manufacturers look for endorsements based on your reputation. As far as your previous performance is concerned, what about your reputation?"

"Hehe~"

Gama rolled his eyes.

"What are you laughing at, do you know how much contract I need to lose if you are not in good condition!"

"Hehe, I'm really sorry!"

After the two bored men quarreled on the phone for a while, Agostinho said again, "No matter what, seize the opportunity and don't let anyone knock you out after you can start, that Japanese The position overlaps with yours, and Bender, he can also play after withdrawing. I noticed that although Gotze mostly came off the bench and walked on the side in these few games, the opinion of him in Germany is that he is an excellent player. Midfielder, you have to pay attention to these, after all you are an outsider in Germany."

"I know, don't worry!"

Jia Ma took a sip of water, no matter how much he said, in the final analysis he still had to speak in terms of strength.

After finishing talking with his agent, Gama made himself a simple nutritious meal—milk oatmeal, toasted black bread and a plate of vegetable salad.

He can cook, although it is only a skill in memory, but Gama has tried that he can cook oriental food, but Chinese food is too high in calories, it is best for professional players to eat less Chinese food——Gama who eats nutritious meals Sigh, so hungry!

He really couldn't swallow the kind of sandwich at the post-game party last night, he couldn't accept it as food.

At this time, the phone on the dining table rang.

Jia Ma took the phone, hey, it's the captain.

"Hey Cris, hello!"

There was a deep voice from the captain of the Portuguese national team, "Good morning, Chico!"

"Captain, are you okay?"

Jia Ma raised his eyebrows. The voice sounded like he had a cold.

"It's nothing, I caught a cold," Ronaldo slowed down, "That free kick last night was beautiful."

"Uh, captain, you actually watched my game."

Gama was surprised.

"Well, you haven't been in a good state recently, I want to see if it has improved."

C Ronaldo is very straightforward.

Gama likes his direct attitude of talking about things, "It was because I didn't get along well with the team as a whole. Mr. Klopp hoped that I would be more suitable for the team and play in the future. It's nothing."

"I haven't played in the Bundesliga, but I still know something about it. Most of the German teams' style of play is open and closed with more long passes..."

Hearing Ronaldo's voice, Gama couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that I can also be counted as a role that will be watched by superstars. Although it is because of the national team, I am also very happy.

After finishing the conversation with the captain of the national team, he received calls from Captain Tuya, Furtado, Veloso, Coentran, and even Deco in a blink of an eye. Portugal still made a lot of friends who would care about him!

Clenching his fist, Gama's eyes lit up.

On August 8, all Dortmund flew away to Baku, Azerbaijan, where they went to the Tofik Bahramov Stadium, home of Karabak Football Club, to compete in the second round of the Europa League play-offs.

Although Dortmund beat their opponent 4-0 at home in the first leg, the Dortmund team going to Baku City still went all out and played with a full main lineup.

Compared with Leverkusen's 2-2 league lineup at home last Sunday, Piszczek replaced teenager Mario Gotze on the right wing, and Gama started in the midfield.

Probably because the whole team of Dortmund is a bit uncomfortable with the soil and climate of Azerbaijan. Although the midfielder Gama performed his best in the game, organizing, passing, and controlling defense, neither side made any progress in the 90 minutes of the main game. ball.

It was not until the final stoppage time that the score on the field was rewritten: Gama in the midfield broke the opponent's ball and rushed into the opponent's half, passed the opponent's defensive interception and then passed the ball to the wing, and came off the bench After receiving the ball, Mario Gotze suddenly cut inside and sent a wonderful pass. Barrios inserted into the left side of the penalty area and turned around to shake off Jerry who was chasing back. Then he hit a low shot with his right foot from 8 meters away and hit the near corner.

Dortmund lore opponent.

Qarabag lost 0-1 to Dortmund at home.

In this way, Dortmund broke into the Europa League group stage with a total score of 5 to 0, and got the qualification to continue to participate in the European war.

On the night of the game on the 26th, Dortmund flew back to Germany because they had a league game on the 29th and they were still away.

So why do many players go crazy when they are on vacation? Think about it, during the season, there are two matches a week, sometimes even three matches, either in the game or on the way to the game, the pressure of the game, physical exhaustion, etc. It is no wonder that a player who can maintain a strong energy and withstand the pressure is not good.

When I was in Portugal, because I was in a small team, I didn’t have such a big pressure. At most, double matches in a week would be great. But in Germany, Gama really felt tired. They said that there are few games in the German league. As long as you don’t participate The European competition is basically relatively easy, but no matter how tired it is, which player or club does not want to play in the European competition, it is not a matter of honor, it is also a matter of how much money can be earned-if it is a small team Entering the European competition circle, even if the group does not qualify, they can still earn appearance fees that are generally similar to the annual team income of small teams.

Therefore, it is no wonder that all clubs want to play in the European competition.

Hearing the analysis of Agostinho who came to Germany and said he came to see him, Gama glanced at him.

Why did you come to see me? Most likely I came to negotiate a contract—and drink German beer by the way.

"There will be a national team match day next month, Hiko, you have to be careful, don't be robbed of your position at this time."

Agostinho said.

Seeing the froth on the corner of his mouth when he drank, Jia Ma gave him a white look, "Nonsense!"

Even if he doesn't go back to participate in the national team match day, the team will have to rotate, okay? Not to mention the Japanese, Poles and Germans in the team will also go to play the national team match. The league has been suspended. How can there be any rush? The theory of location.

You're actually just looking for an excuse to drink beer!
