[Football] Choisir

Marco.Don't worry, I can take it. "

Royce looked skeptical, but he found that he could not completely prevent Gotze from learning this information.

He sighed too, and handed the newspaper over.

"The Fall of the Star of Hope? Mario Götze's Setbacks...Second Edition..." Götze looked at the name of the newspaper, "When did the Munich Daily catch up with this trend..."

He put down the Munich Daily in his hand and picked up another one: "Mario Götze, the rising star in the show business who quickly became famous with "Team", seems to never know what humility is. Since winning the Newcomer Award, this young lad He is flaunting his reputation everywhere. According to people familiar with the matter, Gotze often plays big names on the set and has a bad attitude towards the staff. The person also said that before the incident of changing roles, Gotze had a fierce conflict with the director on the set. Arguing, being criticized by the director for not acting properly, "All the staff present saw that even with the standard of recovering from a serious injury, his performance is still too bad, not like an actor at all"..."

"Sunny, stop reading." Royce rubbed his forehead.

Gotze closed his mouth and quietly flipped through other newspapers. After finishing the newspapers, he turned on the computer and started browsing the web.

"Sunny, you don't have to read every news..." Royce really didn't understand.

"Hey, Marco, listen to this!" Goetze greeted Royce excitedly, "Is it a pure conflict on the set or a diversion of attention? Goetze suffered an accident in the Rafinia crew in March. It was suspected that the safety rope broke and caused his head. Seriously injured, but more than a month has passed, and no one from the entire crew and investors has come forward to explain the accident, and no one has apologized. This is really puzzling. Is the conflict we see on the set just what it looks like? Or is it a means to divert public attention and cover up the truth of the accident? Is the conflict between Gotze and Rafinha really just because of Gotze's attitude? Could there be other reasons? What is the truth of the accident on the set?"

"578 likes!" Gotze raised his head and said to Royce, "Look, it's not all negative."

Royce nodded with a complicated expression: "It is true that it is difficult to see all the one-sided opinions now. But the wind of public opinion is obviously against you. You should not go out these few days, and talk about it after the turmoil passes."

But Gotze obviously didn't hear the latter sentence, he was staring at the computer screen with a serious expression.

"This is taken out of context!" Gotze exclaimed, "That's not what I said at the time!"

It suddenly occurred to Royce that the house would not be quiet all night.

Gotze tried to keep himself half asleep.

He remembered doing this before.

Gotze imagined that he was going down the stairs. There are seven steps in total, and the bottom is where he wants to reach.

At the seventh level, he slowly took deep breaths to slow down his heartbeat and settle his complicated thoughts.

On the sixth level, he began to imagine the handrails around the stairs, which are made of wood, without paint color, with the original grain of wood.

On the fifth level, he slowed down and imagined that his feet were standing on the wooden stairs.The stairs were a bit cold, and he was barefoot, and he could feel the smooth and cold touch of the surface.He reached out and touched the armrest, and the grain of the wood left a slightly rough texture on his palm.

On the fourth level, he just walked down one level, and the soles of his feet brushed the edge of the steps and went down, stepping on a larger plane.Now he can see around.Surrounded by tall holly trees, the leaves cast uneven shadows, giving people a sense of tranquility.There are some unknown vines wrapped around the armrest, with pale white flowers, emitting a soothing aroma.

At the third level, he took a deep breath, and the aroma of the plants made him feel extremely peaceful.He decided to walk the rest of the steps in one go.

Second level, first level...

Now he stepped on soft grass.It's a familiar touch, like it was with Dortmund, like it was with Bayern Munich.The grass carries all his passions and dreams, and it is also where he misses the most.

Gotze felt relieved.

After walking for a while, he found that he had successfully reached the fork in the road, and the person he wanted to meet was waiting for him here.

"Hey, Mario..." Gotze called out tentatively.

The other party raised his head and smiled at him: "We meet again."

"Sorry," Gotze said, "I screwed up everything..."

"It's okay. After all, this is not a job you are familiar with. I shouldn't have too much expectation about it."

"Uh, things seem to be worse than expected... now there are overwhelming negative reports..."

The other party shrugged: "It's nothing. The media is like this. They always hope to dig out something exciting to attract attention. Believe me, it won't be long before everyone forgets about it."

"I hope so..." Gotze sat down opposite the other Mario, still a little sullen, "What I said was misunderstood again."

"again?"

"Yeah, Philip called and said I'd better express my position on this matter, and I did what he told me. When the reporter asked how the past few months have been, I replied 'of course the last few months It’s not easy, let’s see what happens later’, and then he asked me about my relationship with Rafinha, and asked if we would still communicate on the set, I think what I said is fine ——'Will we have more communication, this may be known later, I don't want to go over my agent now.'”

Gotze vividly recalls the details of the interview. "And do you know how the reporter wrote it? 'Götze complained about the lack of communication with the director on the set!' This is obviously taken out of context and distorted the facts!" He seemed aggrieved.

"Okay, calm down." The tone of the other party is still calm, or a little indifferent, "Taking words out of context is one of the most commonly used methods by the media, and of course distorting the facts. I think Philip has also told you that you should be calm when facing these things, otherwise It was really taken advantage of by them."

"But it's about your reputation." Gotze pouted, "And it's because of me..."

The other party smiled softly: "Thank you, I am very grateful that you care so much about my career and my reputation. Now, I say these are irrelevant, don't think about it, it's not your fault. Feel better ?”

"Thank you." Goetze lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited... To be honest, it's not the first time I have encountered this situation. I have experienced it when I played football... more than once. I know that facing these situations is difficult. What's the taste?"

The other side shrugged: "I'm used to it. No one will stay in good shape forever, and no one can stand on the top of the mountain forever. When I choose to be an actor, it means that I understand what I have to face, And know how to accept them, both bad and good."

Gotze nodded: "You are really a very powerful person."

The other party was silent for a moment, as if he was not quite used to his straightforward praise.

"Let's not talk about this." Perhaps in order not to make the atmosphere look awkward, the other party changed the subject, "With Dr. Muller, I temporarily gained control over this body. It seems that he hypnotized you?"

"Yes, at that time I felt that my consciousness was completely enclosed in a dark cage, and I couldn't feel anything except the darkness, but then I was pulled back by a sense of traction."

"At first I thought you left, because I couldn't feel your presence at that moment." The other party nodded and said, "But later, I found that your consciousness is getting stronger and my space is getting smaller and smaller. In the end, I came back here. It seems that hypnosis can only temporarily release me for a while."

"What did you say to Dr. Mueller?"

"I described to them my feelings after I fell into a coma, and the situation when I met you here, and I also told them our speculation - you may have traveled from a parallel world. Did they believe it? "

Gotze shook his head: "I don't believe it all. It seems that they simply suspect that I have schizophrenia. Everything is imaginary."

The other party nodded: "It seems that it is not so easy to convince them, but for Philip, this reason is enough, and he will do everything possible to prevent this matter from being exposed."

After finishing speaking, both of them were silent, looking at the gravel road leading to the sea on the right together.

The sea water is still turbulent, and the rolling waves beat the gravel road, making regular sounds one after another, which seems to be some kind of melody that repeats tirelessly.

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and the other Mario said, "I think there will be a way."

Gotze turned to look at him.

"There will be a way to tell the difference between a simple split personality and two completely separate consciousnesses in one body. Someone will believe us."

Gotze nodded: "I hope so."

"I have a hunch it won't be any worse than it is now."

He listened carefully to the sound of the waves again, and said to Gotze: "Go back, it's almost dawn."

Chapter 5

June in Munich is very pleasant, with an average temperature of around 15 degrees and long days and short nights, making it suitable for outdoor activities.

At this moment, Gotze is running on the lawn. Of course, there is football under his feet.Since coming to this world, he has never felt so satisfied.

About two weeks ago, June [-]th to be exact,
