football superstar

Portugal specifically chose a time that did not overlap with other teams to appear at Campinas Airport in Brazil.

Only one day away from the World Cup opener, Portugal is also the last of all 32 to arrive in Brazil, and the next day they will face England, their first opponent in the group stage.

The choice of the Portuguese resident is very particular, because they are all Portuguese-speaking countries, ignoring historical reasons, the relationship between the two sides is not bad, although many local residents of Brazil look down on Portuguese, but in Brazil, the proportion of Portuguese immigrants is not small, invisible China has also shortened the relationship between the two sides, so in terms of residency, Brazil also opens the door to convenience.

The Campinas they chose is 100 kilometers north of Sao Paulo, the economic center of Brazil. Sao Paulo hosted the most critical group match of Group D, that is, the match between Portugal and England.

Being closer to the stadium will undoubtedly make it easier to prepare for the game. The enthusiastic Brazilian people are rejoicing because of the World Cup, but it will also invisibly put a lot of psychological pressure on the players. The closer to the stadium, the faster they will be. Enter the game state quickly, especially in the key games.

When the plane was taxiing on the runway, the small window in front opened, with the Brazilian flag sticking out on the left and the Portuguese flag sticking out on the right, fully expressing the goodwill of the club.

Among the reporters squatting below, a group of Asians with black eyes and yellow skin stood out.

Those who come to pick up the plane are usually the media of the country where the national team is located, or the opponent team sent people to observe. Based on this calculation, these people should be Korean media.In Portugal's group, South Korea, as the fourth-tier team, has become the worst team in the group. It should be necessary to first find out the reality of the strong enemy.

However, after the leading host spoke, the word "nihao" entered everyone's ears clearly.Now with the rise of China, Chinese has become popular all over the world. Even if they don't understand these two characters, they can tell that these people are from China.

... China, entered the World Cup?

The conclusion is of course no. The Chinese national team, which failed in the qualifiers, has already started preparing for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but the World Cup is still going on, and Chinese fans have also habitually accepted the apology from the national football team and began to prepare excitedly to adjust the time difference. Watching the game, as a national sports TV station, naturally cannot let go of this opportunity.

As a result, the broadcast team led by Liu Jianhong arrived in Brazil in a mighty way, and started preparations half a month in advance. The work attitude will not change at all because of the participation of his own team.

This time, Liu Jianhong, the head of the press team, came to pick up the plane in person. Generally speaking, it is enough to send a small reporter to pick up a plane that can only appear in sports news for 30 seconds, but Portugal The national team is a bit different.

Not only are Ronaldo, Pepe, and Nani well-known in China, but also because they have a goalkeeper who can speak Sichuan Mandarin, Thomas Clemens.

Liu Jianhong, who had interviewed Clemens several times before, accepted the task unceremoniously. A foreigner who can speak Chinese, and a foreigner who can speak Chinese and keep a zero record for two years, is absolutely It can occupy more than 3 minutes in the news, and if you are lucky, you may be able to do an exclusive interview or something.

Liu Jianhong smiled very politely, and behind him was the special plane of the Portuguese team that was slowly docking, and he spoke to the camera at a moderate speed: "As the last team to arrive in Brazil among the top 32 World Cup teams, the Portuguese men's football team has nothing to do. Doubts have attracted the attention of all Brazil. They are the third favorite team to win the World Cup after Brazil and Germany according to their odds. Portugal, which has several top stars in the team, will undoubtedly bring more Pay more attention."

At the same time, the plane had already docked, and the Portuguese national team slowly walked out of the hatch after the ladder was erected.

Liu Jianhong’s eyes looked over, and he did a lot of homework for this interview: “The suit sponsor of the Portuguese national team is DIELMAR, the overall color is dark blue, with a light blue tie, the whole team from the coaching staff to The players were all dressed in the same outfit. They were standing on the ladder waiting for a group photo, and the atmosphere was very harmonious."

This pick-up operation was broadcast live on the Internet, and many fans who were waiting for their male gods also started to swipe and start the barrage mode.

"When explaining the game, I talked about the historical record. When I summed up after the game, I mispronounced the name. Now I start to evaluate the clothes when I arrive at the scene. It's very good. This is very national sports 2333333333333"

'I think it's pretty good, but I never knew what brand of suit Luo Ye was wearing. '

'I look good in anything, and I'm unique, you see, I'm the only one in the team who wears sunglasses! '

'The two hooking shoulders over there!Let go of your hands!Pepe, don't bully Nani Little Pink!If you have the ability to flirt with Toto, don't keep oppressing honest children! '

'Thomas was the last one to come out, standing the tallest, and with his height, I doubt whether I can take a picture of his head with a mobile phone. '

'Kidney 4 definitely won't work, you can use Kidney 5, the extended version, suitable for various occasions that require length =w='

'... There are still advertisers, poof! '

The Portuguese team implemented the strategy of winning local fans in Brazil, and instead of taking the VIP channel, they left the airport through the ordinary channel.The staff at the airport got the news early, and pulled out two lines to block the fans so as not to hurt the players, but they let the reporters with long guns and short cannons go.

The moment the players in suits walked over, many reporters rushed over!

Most of their goals are for Ronaldo, there is no doubt about this.For the reporters, the first thing they notice is naturally the most news point. In the entire Portuguese team, the number one superstar is undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo!

But Liu Jianhong's goal was different. He seemed to have foreseen the grand occasion of Ronaldo being surrounded by people, so he found another person at the beginning.

When Clemens saw a familiar person extending the microphone towards him, the blond Portuguese subconsciously changed his language: "Hello, Reporter Liu, are you free to eat?"

This kind of meeting to ask about food can only show that Mr. Daochang is getting more and more down-to-earth. He said that eating is better than other people who just make people feel closer, and this sentence made Liu Jianhong laugh.

This may be a habit that every Chinese will have. When they meet foreigners who can speak foreign languages, no matter whether the pronunciation is standard or not, no matter whether the words are good or bad, the first reaction is that they find it interesting, and Liu Jianhong just smiles very happily , and then replied as if it was a common gossip: "Eat, eat, Thomas, have you eaten?"

Clemens nodded first, and then said calmly: "I'm not full, let's continue later."

Liu Jianhong is not surprised by this sentence, and Clemens' huge appetite is not a secret in China. As Liu Jianhong, who has been eyeing Clemens for a long time, he is also very clear that the plane meal may not be enough to satisfy the seemingly in front of him. Thin and not much meat is actually a tall young man with a huge appetite.

After finishing the polite words, Liu Jianhong adjusted his expression and asked, "Thomas, what are your expectations for the World Cup this time?"

"Champion." Clemens did not look forward to the future and praise his opponent like other players, but praised himself directly and rudely.

This is not because Mr. Daochang has thrown away the virtue of modesty, but because the current coach Mourinho likes to say that, Mr. Daochang, who is in the learning stage and is largely learning from other people's practices, easily accepts it. This is a simpler and more straightforward way.

Well, boasting about yourself is always so fun.

However, this sentence directly cut off many questions that Liu Jianhong had prepared. He looked at Clemens with some helplessness, and the good boy insisted on coming out with a routine.

Brainstorming, Liu Jianhong said another thing: "This is your first World Cup, and the three opponents in the group stage are not completely lacking in strength, whether it is England with high value or Uruguay with sharp attack , They can all pose a threat to your goal, are you confident that you can keep a clean sheet?"

This question made Clemens think for a while. Before coming here, Paulo Bento had gathered all the players for a meeting and analyzed the opponents one by one. Clemens was also very aware of the two What players are on the team.

He can say that Portugal will win the championship. That’s because Mourinho’s principle is that everything can be lost but morale can’t be lost. He must always spare no effort to boast. If he can’t praise himself, how can he praise others in the future?

But now when it comes to the responsibilities of the goalkeeper, Clemens did not say enough.

"Both Rooney and Suarez are very good, and I am looking forward to their performance." Mr. Daochang solved the problem lightly in one sentence, neither saying whether he would keep a clean sheet, nor whether he would concede the ball, but this Such a balanced answer may not be liked by foreign media, but it is the standard answer that Liu Jianhong likes.

He adjusted the position of the microphone, looked at Clemens with a smile and said, "Thomas, there are hundreds of millions of fans in China who follow Portugal because of you." In other words, "Perhaps you would like to send a few assists in your first World Cup?"

At this moment, Clemens turned his expression serious. He looked at the camera, and the mandarin with the smell of hot pot went directly into the ears of everyone watching the live broadcast: "No problem."

...Does this mean that there is no problem?

This small accent is still so naughty.

Liu Jianhong coughed lightly. He was sure that this interview would definitely become the headline tomorrow. After signaling the camera to be turned off, Liu Jianhong put away the upright look in front of the camera, and smiled very relaxedly. It also brought a Beijing-specific ending: "Now as a fan, I am looking forward to your performance. The assists are very good, and it would be even better if there are goals."

Upon hearing this, Clemens slightly bent his lips and accepted the blessing.

After answering a few more reporters' questions, Clemens picked up the marker pen handed over by the staff next to him to sign for the fans who were standing here.The meaning of the World Cup is not only that the top players from all over the world gather in Brazil, but many diehard fans also come to Brazil to watch the performance of their favorite players and their national team.

Clemens saw a lot of people holding up their own jerseys, and some holding other people's jerseys from Real Madrid looking for their autographs. It is estimated that they saw one signing one after another, and this fan was also trying his luck.

Mr. Daochang never refuses anyone, one counts as one, anyway, it doesn’t take much time to sign, and Clemens always knows how to be considerate of others.

However, when the fans were signing autographs, a little guy whose height was less than Clemens' waist passively squeezed around in the crowd. While scrambling for an autograph, the little guy lay down on the ground holding the autograph book straight, and fell in front of Clemens!

"Hey, that kid!" The airport staff yelled and ran over to pick him up and stuff him back, but was stopped by Clemens.

Mr. Daochang looked at this little player wearing a Kaka jersey. Perhaps this jersey was naturally favored by Clemens. Mr. Daochang bent down and picked up the little black guy, looking extremely relaxed.But such a simple movement made the staff next to me feel dazed, look, this is practiced, as expected of a goalkeeper, this little thing is at least ten years old, not tall but very stocky, probably The weight is not light, and Clemens can be hugged directly as easily as if hugging a balloon, which cannot but be admired.

"It hurts from the fall?" Clemens glanced at the little guy's palm, which was a little red in color. Although it was hard to see because of his skin color, Clemens could still see some bruises there.

But the little guy put his hands behind his back and shook his head at him very firmly. There were two red spots on the little black face, and he looked extremely shy, but he still said boldly: "Thomas, I am a Kaka fan, and I am also you. fans, can you sign me?"

This kind of English accent made Clemens feel very familiar. This is how Ferguson spoke, so this should be the legendary Scottish English that the British can't understand very well.

Clemens would not refuse a child's request. A child is a little angel. Who would refuse a little angel?

"What's your name?" Clemens hugged the little guy with one hand, and picked up a pen with the other to sign his name on the back.

"Dembele, my name is Dembele! I'm a Celtic player!" The little guy named Dembele blushed with excitement, but he remained motionless, for fear that if he moved, Clay would be shocked. Menz signed his name off.

It turned out that he was holding a young player. Clemens quickly wrote a sentence on the jersey behind him——

To the future superstar, Dembele Jr.

After that, Clemens signed his name. I don't know if it was too coincidental, but his name was right next to Kaka's name, juxtaposed in a row, which looked extremely harmonious.

Those fans who saw Clemens signing Dembele were going crazy with envy!

If I knew that if I fell, I would get a signature and hug, I would have fallen!Male god, you said, how many times can you give me a hug!How about I just slip and fall into your arms at 45 degrees?

After the little Dembele was put down, the little guy immediately received a lot of envious looks, and many people came to him and said: "Little guy, I will pay you five hundred euros for this jersey, okay?" ah?"

"Five hundred? Look how stingy you are! I'll give you a thousand euros!"

"Just punch Kaka's number and Clemens' signature, five thousand! No less!"

"Five thousand and one!"

"...Did you do it on purpose!"

However, the enthusiasm over there seemed to be certain that Dembele would sell, but no one noticed that the little guy had already sneaked into the crowd and ran away because of his small size.

The little guy is not stupid, he likes Kaka, also likes Clemens, this jersey is Kaka's jersey in the Brazil national team, No. 10, the best number.Now there is Clemens's signature on it. Clemens negotiated and gave it to Dembele. He said he is a future superstar!

Little Dembele hung his head when he ran to his parents. His parents felt that their child was frightened by the excited fans, but they didn't know that the little guy was just trying to cover his flushed face.

Future superstar, me, Dembele...

If I work hard, I should have the opportunity to play with Kaka and Thomas.

The ten-year-old boy clenched his fists, thinking about his life, complaining for the first time why he grew up so slowly...

But the little guy doesn't know that when he really struggles to reach Real Madrid, which claims to recruit all the best players in the future, he has received a youth team to carry the handle before seeing Kaka and Clemens. The siege and interception of Luka and his little friends directly made the talented players who will be competed by England, Scotland and Kortswale in the future want to cry without tears. They have to endure various blows every day in order to survive tenaciously.

But it's always good to have dreams now, Dembele squeezed the jersey with a smile, and kept muttering that sentence in his mouth.

Future superstar, hehehe.

===

Unaware that he had acquired a general for the future Real Mara, Clemens was walking into the training base with his teammates with his luggage.

"That kid looks very heavy, so don't hug him casually next time." Ronaldo put his shoulders on Clemens' shoulders while talking, "Professional players have to be careful not to hurt themselves even when they walk up the stairs, Thomas, Your arms are also important."

"That kid isn't heavy." Clemens said, as if adding for emphasis, "Sir is much heavier than him."

This gentleman refers to Mourinho, right?

So, it was all your kid's fault in the past!

One sentence made Ronaldo and Pepe two club teammates squint at Clemens, who has been looking for the one who secretly poked and threw Mourinho higher and higher. It turned out to be you kid , why didn't I see you before?

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect, Thomas, you big-eyed guy also learned to play around!

Speaking of training bases, the most comfortable one is undoubtedly the Brazilian national team.

The convenience of the home court is not just a matter of talk. In Brazil, every field where the Brazilian team may play has a place specially reserved for the Brazilian national team to rest and prepare for the game in advance. This advantage can be said to be unique. Yes, they are the home court, and they can be willful.And in the opening game two days ago, the Brazilian team defeated Cameroon without any doubts. Kaka passed and shot, Ronaldinho scored twice, Neymar added the icing on the cake, and the Brazilian team defeated Black [-]-[-]. Cameroon led by Leopards made a good start.

For other non-home teams, what they can do is to find a more suitable residence with the assistance of Brazilian officials. Portugal is lucky. Relying on their good relationship with Brazil, their training base is in good condition. .

But among these teams, the most distinctive is the German team.Even Clemens, who doesn't like to read gossip very much, knows that the German team has not leased any training base, and they have not even applied to the Brazil World Cup host.

Because, they sent a team of people to select the site a year ago, and then bought a piece of land in Brazil with state funds, and built a manor-like training base directly within a year, and Fully equipped with all kinds of facilities inside, swimming pool, hot spring pool, and even a tennis court!

When the overall European economy was in recession, Germany became the most profitable country in Europe, and they were not stingy about showing their financial resources.All kinds of facilities were built according to German standards, including many materials were transported by air. The Germans quietly built a training base of German standards in Brazil. It was not really unveiled until the German team settled in. By the way Amway has a power made in Germany.

Calm and scary.

The German team moved in directly after arriving in Brazil, becoming the envy of all players.

Really rich Germans...

"You can divide into groups yourself, explain in advance, and try not to live together with those in the club." Paul Bento clapped his hands to draw back the attention of his disciples.

The rule of not living together with the club is an unspoken rule that every national team will carry out. For the national team's game, it must be more harmonious to get along with the club, but once this harmony is brought into the game, There may be a situation where you only give the ball to your acquaintances and not to others, so it is good for their cooperation to be separated for a while.

These players are also familiar with this rule, and they quickly found a match.

In pairs, it's not hard to tell.

However, in the final list of 23 people, 22 have been allocated, and one is left behind.

Clemens stood there alone, the tall blond boy was handsome with a bit of confusion on his face, looking inexplicably aggrieved.

Paulo Bento looked at Ronaldo who had been living in the same room with Clemens in the national team: "Chris, you..."

"I think Luis is very good." Ronaldo held Nani tight, hugged his teammate who was smiling shyly and said very resolutely.

It's fine if you didn't know before, but now that you know the relationship between your children and your friends, if you live together again, you might unknowingly offend Kaka...Offending Kaka, these four words are enough to scare people.

Paulo Bento looked at the others, and their reasons were all the same.

Thomas is a terrible man!He goes to bed at nine and wakes up at five!

Get up at five!

Five o'clock!

Waking up so early is torture!

Paul Bento coughed lightly, without forcing, just said: "Then, Thomas, you and I share a room."

Clemens didn't feel aggrieved as Bento thought, it didn't make any difference to Clemens who lived with him, and it's good to have someone with the same routine to live with.

Unbeknownst to them, Clemens and Paulo Bento's double room was silently labeled.

'Grandpa League'

After hearing this word, Clemens dragged Pepe away without a word and went to one-on-one. Coach Bento smirked and helped them exercise their physical fitness. After being tortured physically and mentally, Pepe chose to replace This label was changed with blood and tears on his face.

'Brutal Old Man League! '

Training will not be excessive, after all, tomorrow is the game against England, adequate rest is the most important thing.

Clemens chose to stay in a single room with a jacuzzi. He closed the door and sat in the bathtub directly. The water reached his chest, and the warm water flowed out streams of water under the control of the bathtub to massage his muscles. This method is very effective in relieving muscle fatigue, and can also help sleep. Every time you soak for a while and then go to bed, you can have a good night's dream.

Provided no one bothers.

Clemens narrowed his eyes slightly, and then heard the phone ringing.

Reaching for it, taking a look, Clemens picked up the phone.

"Good evening, Ricardo."
