Chapter 458 456.428.413.382.370.354.349.348.346.8.2
Clemens had thought about making a video call to Kaka when he got back to the base—it had been agreed before the game—but before that, someone called.
Blinking his eyes, Clemens connected the phone, glanced at his teammates in the waiting room who were all hunched over their shoulders and were mobilizing before the game with water instead of wine, and said, "David, good evening."
"Good evening Thomas, oh, it sounds like you're having a lot of fun over there." Beckham's voice doesn't match his image, and his voice is a little thin, but he can always have a smile in his voice, which is also very attractive of.
Clemens said calmly, "It's okay."
This scene of getting together to eat and drink before the game will happen in the pre-match preparations of the Portuguese national team. Paulo Bento is very young. Because he is considered a young man among the coaches, the relationship between him and the players is also the same. It's very harmonious, it doesn't like to lock everyone up for the pre-game speech, but it's easier and more relaxed to have the players get together.
Drinking water is also a helpless move. Players cannot easily touch alcohol. No one cares about it during the holidays. Now it is during the World Cup.
Clemens generally would not participate in such gatherings, and spent most of his time sitting on the sidelines watching his teammates make a fuss. Nani did the same thing, but Nani chose Eat well to replenish your energy, and ask for a glass of milk to help you sleep.
Can I still grow taller after drinking milk?Clemens felt confused about Nani's height.
Beckham didn't ask any more questions. Although England is out now and there are not so many taboos with Portugal, Beckham still knows what to say and what not to say.
He smiled and said: "I think what you said has always been very effective. Although I didn't become a player to participate in this World Cup, it feels good to be an assistant coach. This is also more suitable for the national team."
Clemens didn't know if Beckham's words were meant to be polite, but he did speak his mind honestly: "You can have your own place in the England team."
Regarding this sentence, Beckham was noncommittal. What he didn't say was that the relationship between him and the current head coach Hodgson was actually not good. If it wasn't for pressure, Hodgson would never recruit himself into the team as an assistant coach.Unless the national team changes coaches after this World Cup, Hodgson will definitely be able to serve as the head coach of England for a longer time with the results of the quarter-finals. In this way, it is basically impossible for him to stay in the national team things.
However, Beckham did not call Clemens to complain. His tone sounded brisk: "I would like to invite you to the opening ceremony of my store and Victoria's store. In the United States, just after the World Cup, time I can Make adjustments for you."
Clemens did not expect that Beckham would issue such an invitation, he blinked: "Actually, you should go and talk to Jorge." Mendes is responsible for these things.
"I will guarantee your safety back and forth, and I promise it will only take up two days of your time." Beckham swallowed back the words as he spoke.
Mendez?
If I communicate with this agent, I still want to invite Clemens, it will be difficult. Mendes has a good attitude towards the signed players under him, making people feel that all the players are his own, but he treats others. People don't know how to be sympathetic at all. It seems that Mendes has arranged a lot of things for the players, but in fact he has cleared out some things that don't seem to be worthwhile.
For example, if Beckham invited Clemens to Mendes, it would definitely not be as convenient as saying it directly.
Clemens did not choose to bypass Mendes. For him, Mr. Mendes is not only an agent, but also a friend who helps him make up ideas on many key matters. Clemens will give He fully respected: "I am willing, David, but I still have to ask Jorge before deciding on these."
Naturally, Beckham won't mind, as long as Clemens is willing, the time issue still needs to be discussed with Mendes.
These things came to an end, and Clemens said something else: "I watched the game, and England played very well."
"It's not good enough." Speaking of these, Beckham was very determined. "We didn't have chances, we just didn't seize them. Brazil performed better than us, but England didn't just score one goal. team."
"You like the national team very much." Clemens said this very calmly.
Beckham also admitted generously: "Of course." The reason why he procrastinated his sports career so long is to find opportunities to play for the national team again. No matter what club Beckham chooses, the national team feelings are always the same.
"Since you can't be a player anymore, why don't you try to learn to be a head coach?" Clemens calmly gave his suggestion, feeling the silence on the other side, Clemens also suggested very friendly, "You can When discussing with Jorge, ask him about coaching qualifications, I am sure he will be happy to contact you."
Beckham has no doubts about this. Mr. Mendes is an agent. He only does things that are beneficial. All the rights of Beckham are in his own hands, and he does not need the help of an agent, but According to Beckham's current reputation, Mendes may not work hard for Clemens to win him over, but if he can help to close the relationship with Beckham, then in the future, whether it is the assistance of a commercial contract or in the United States Development over there, no doubt, it's a good deal.
These thoughts were quickly reflected in Xiaobei's head, who was already used to these things, and then he smiled: "Thomas, thank you for your kindness, I think I will have something to do in the future."
After Clemens hung up the phone, he reached for the cup and took a sip, suddenly looking forward to the scene where Beckham became the coach standing on the sidelines.
The coach of Beckham is really the main responsible coach.
After the call was hung up, Clemens got up and left the lounge, taking the donuts specially prepared for himself.
Yes, in this Portuguese team, the only one who can eat donuts is himself.
Back in the room, Clemens took out his mobile phone and connected Kaka.
The situation on Kaka's side is obviously more lively. The Brazilian team is a group of people who love to get together. In addition, the Brazilian team won the game without bloodshed and advanced to the semi-finals. The Brazilian team obviously has a reason to be happy tonight. celebrate.
Kaka obviously left the room with his mobile phone, and Clemens could still see the scene where Ronaldinho hugged Neymar and bounced around. It seemed that Ronaldinho liked the future pillar of Barcelona very much.
Maybe it's the love for Messi?
Clemens didn't know what he was thinking, and all his thoughts returned rationally the moment Kaka spoke: "Thomas."
Clemens blinked, suddenly feeling some inexplicable warmth.
Mr. Daochang likes to watch dog-blooded TV dramas. In it, the main character can’t see each other even for a day, it’s like saying goodbye to each other. Maybe that's it.
But the matter really came to his head, and at this moment he felt that there was no reason to be excited at all. Clemens just nodded calmly, as usual without any extra waves: "Congratulations on winning the game."
Kaka smiled, and Kaka was naturally more happy as the captain of the team's victory.He was strolling in the open space outside the base. The night sky in Brazil is beautiful, and the stars in the sky seen from this angle are especially brilliant.
The Son of God said as he walked, "Tomorrow is your game, Thomas, and I hope I can congratulate you tomorrow too."
"Of course." Clemens said this very confidently, and Mr. Daochang's confidence in the Portuguese team is growing day by day.
The discussion about football came to an end, and Kaka stood still. He still remembered that he had talked with Clemens on the phone in the same way.
At that time, Clemens was still a young goalkeeper in Deportivo, and he was struggling with injuries and his family. At that time, they were just a little closer than strangers. The night sky of Spain may not have the stars of Brazil. So much, but Kaka still remembers how he felt at that time.
This will be someone who can be trusted and worthy of being a friend.
Now friends have become lovers, and Kaka is very grateful for this change.
It is basically impossible to say that it is impossible to fall in love at first sight. Neither Kaka nor Clemens are excited people. A drop of accumulation will become another different appearance.
That night, I ended a marriage myself.
It was also that night that he decided to fight for his career again, one last time.
"Thomas, do you know what I miss the most now?" Kaka said while holding up her phone and sitting on the grass, allowing Clemens to look at the sky together.From the phone screen, Clemens could see the night sky and Kaka's side face, which was extremely soft.
"Eating a barbecue," Clemens said in a calm, unromantic voice, "impossible."
...My children are always so sharp, but...in fact, this is indeed something Kaka is looking forward to.
Kaka's laughter came from the phone receiver. The voice was a bit lower than usual, and the compression of the phone signal made the voice sound a bit more magnetic. Clemens pinched his fingertips subconsciously.
"I always miss being able to open my eyes and see you say good morning to me, Thomas, some things are addictive."
Clemens blinked, and blinked again.
"Is this a love story?" Mr. Daochang felt that he needed to appraise it.
"This is the truth." Kaka explained with a smile.
Clemens didn't respond, just kicked off his slippers and lay on the bed, looking at the sky with Kaka.
Until Clemens felt sleepy, he heard Kaka's voice again: "Thomas, you haven't taken a shower yet."
"Oh." The blond boy rubbed his eyes and sat up obediently, ready to go to the bathroom.
"Bring your phone in." Kaka's voice was still gentle.
"Crack!" Clemens turned off the video call without hesitation.
Kaka smiled. Naturally, he didn't take what he said to tease Clemens seriously. He picked up his mobile phone and put it in his pocket, happily returned to his room, tidied up and fell asleep.
Kaka didn't know when Neymar's kid came back, but early the next morning, when the phone vibrated before [-] o'clock, Neymar obviously let out a dissatisfied grunt and covered his head in the quilt, The whole person was there like a white croissant. Kaka just took a look and thought: No matter how good the ball is, he is still a child.
Reaching out for the phone, Kaka glanced at it and connected the call.
Before he could speak, Clemens' voice came from the opposite side: "Good morning, Ricardo."
Kaka tucked herself into the quilt when she heard the words, as if she hadn't figured out why she did it, but Kaka tugged at the quilt with her hand and responded softly: "Good morning, Thomas."
===
The fact that Kaka's red card was shown and then canceled occupied the headlines of all the newspapers and magazines that day. Although the atmosphere at the scene was quite intense, especially the scene where the fans shouted "black whistle" to the referee was very classic, but maybe It was because of the fact that the red card was changed on the spot and the Brazilian team won the final victory, the game ended peacefully.
After the game, the referee Gassama apologized to Kaka through an interview report. This more worthy African referee did not become timid because this is the World Cup. Judging from his daring to give the home team a red card, the penalty may be a bit immature. He has not cultivated to the top level, but he is very courageous.
If you are wrong, you are wrong, and you will not lose a piece of meat if you admit your mistakes.
Anyway, this misjudgment also determined that Gassama will miss the next semi-finals and finals. It is better to admit his mistake now and get a good reputation.
However, the attention of the media was not attracted for too long. Brazil took the lead in reaching the semi-finals. In the second game in the first half, Germany did not score the game until overtime with Muller's goal!This is the end of Poland's World Cup journey, but they are also worthy of pride. This result is already very good for a team like Poland that relies on Lewandowski alone to lead a group, and Germany will definitely be in the semi-finals China and the host Brazil go hand in hand!
Early the next morning, Portugal took the bus to the venue. This time the person sitting next to Clemens was replaced by Ronaldo.
Nelson only needed a look from Ronaldo, and he automatically turned his feet and sat next to Nani. The two wingers are getting along very well now. Nani is honest and quiet, and Nelson has a temper that can't stop talking. , this movement and stillness seem to be very harmonious.
Clemens had no objection to who he sat with. He noticed that it was Ronaldo next to him because the captain's earrings were indeed very dazzling, very dazzling.
"I said, Thomas, what did you see after watching the two games yesterday?" Ronaldo took a blanket from the shelf on the roof of the bus while talking.
Clemens glanced at Ronaldo and answered very frankly: "Brazil and Germany are both very good."
Ronaldo smiled and handed the blanket to Clemens: "Then who do you think will win?"
Clemens did not answer the question.
Brazil is not weak, but Germany is also very strong. From the game he watched yesterday, Clemens really felt the cohesion of the German team like a solid plate.
Clemens can't tell if the team with the most creativity collides with the team with the best execution.
Ronaldo knew that this was a bit embarrassing for his own child, so he simply let it go, put his hand on Clemens' shoulder and whispered, "Thomas, don't forget, give it to me today..."
"Captain, we agreed not to cheat." Nelson poked his head from behind and poked Ronaldo on the back.
Ronaldo coughed lightly. In order to avoid embarrassment, he chose to look back at Nelson and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay, then I hope you don't forget what you promised me."
In a word, the atmosphere in the car instantly became awkward, and the driver played music at the right time, but this strange atmosphere did not evacuate.
But soon the atmosphere became heated again, and Clemens looked helplessly at these teammates who pretended to deceive them, why would they bet if they knew this?Betting hurts people.
The source of the embarrassment was explained after the players entered the field.
Before the start of the game, when the two sides lined up for a group photo, the commentator Sesam was drinking water casually but almost spit it out.
What did he see?
Is this... Portugal's tiptoe debut?
Blinking his eyes, Clemens connected the phone, glanced at his teammates in the waiting room who were all hunched over their shoulders and were mobilizing before the game with water instead of wine, and said, "David, good evening."
"Good evening Thomas, oh, it sounds like you're having a lot of fun over there." Beckham's voice doesn't match his image, and his voice is a little thin, but he can always have a smile in his voice, which is also very attractive of.
