Fame with a ball

Lin Zhigao is recovering from his injuries. After the ridiculous plaster cast on his right foot (which was unfortunately covered in graffiti by some people) is removed, he can do some simple recovery exercises, such as cycling, swimming, etc. Go for a swim, or spend some time at the gym.

But this does not mean that Lin Zhigao is not free before the plaster is removed. In fact, he has money and leisure, and no one stops him where he wants to go.

The operation performed by Dr. Martens on him was very successful. Although it is uncertain when he will be able to recover completely, the injury will not have any impact on Lin Zhigao's future career. He used to be able to play with one foot. Freestyle football can still be used in the future.After hearing the news, Lin Zhigao excitedly told all his friends, and asked them not to worry about himself, and then... he received two tickets to the Brasilia National Stadium.

At 7 pm on July 7, Brazil time, the World Cup semi-final match between Argentina and Portugal.

This is a duel between two football powerhouses, and it also attracts special attention because of the existence of the two super forwards Messi and Ronaldo in football. But for Lin Zhigao, he has a headache: he should stand which side?

Cheering for Argentina, Ronaldo will probably kill him with his eyes wide open and his nose blowing out his anger.

Cheering for Portugal, Messi decided to use extremely sad eyes, which made Lin Zhigao feel ashamed to get into the cracks in the ground.

There are also those two tickets, one in the Argentine fan area and the other in the Portuguese fan area.

When Ronaldo was on the phone with him, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't think that you can get better than me in the league. In the national team competition, I will definitely step on him, absolutely!"

Messi always sends confused text messages at midnight: I am very worried that I cannot maintain my current state. What if I make a mistake in the game and get involved in Argentina?God, I'm afraid I'll blame myself for the rest of my life.

Lin Zhigao wanted to scratch the top of his head bald.

John is always wise at times like this: "You can give away their tickets to someone else and then take mine. My seat is in the neutral fan area, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lin Zhigao immediately said to John: "No one in the world can be cuter than you!"

On the night of the game, Lin Zhigao happily walked into the Brasilia National Stadium with a ticket, but when he found the stand where the ticket number was located, his intestines were almost green: the people sitting in this stand, There are the chairmen and managers of major clubs, there are world-renowned coaches, scouts, agents and predators who have countless stars under their command, and there are also F1 racers and tennis players who come across borders to watch the game... They are well-dressed and turn their heads at each other. Talking and laughing are so personable, even if the background is changed to a formal dinner, it will not make people feel out of place.

Lin Zhigao also saw Labo, John's younger brother.This over-indulgent playboy was hugging his newest girlfriend, and he didn't shy away from kissing others in public, and a large flash of lights appeared under the stands.

Oh, very good, it turns out that there are still many reporters ambushing here.

Lapo waved to Lin Zhigao: "Lin, why are you standing in the aisle so stupidly?"

Some people cast their curious eyes on him, as if wondering why there was a pure professional player in this area.

Lin Zhigao smiled dryly, and found his seat slowly under the gaze of many people. After he sat down, he immediately found a "surprise": among the mature men in suits and leather shoes, he was dressed in gray The T-shirt + blue jeans look is simply eye-catching.

The person in the seat next to him chatted enthusiastically with him. From the conversation of that person, Lin Zhigao judged that he thought he was some hidden "football power person".

There are so many heavyweights sitting in this stand, there is no reason why it should not be liked by the media.

So when the stadium photographer inadvertently gave Lin Zhigao a frontal high-definition uncensored close-up, and this picture was put on the big screen of the stadium, Lin Zhigao knew that he didn't have to leave after the game, he could go directly to the stadium Ri explained to his friend that his throat was burning and his saliva was killing him.

Very good, great.

Summer is approaching, and tourist destinations all over the world are crowded with people who come for vacation.

Although the stars earn more money, they seldom have time to relax and spend all year round. The winter break is not allowed, because it is a time to reunite with their families and the holidays are too short. The Premier League does not even give players winter break.The rest of the time is basically not training or playing, only summer-lovely, lively, long summer, the most comfortable and relaxing time of the year for the players.

The World Cup is not over yet, and the coasts of South America are still full of black heads.There are so many beauties in bikinis basking on the beach in Hawaii that they can order countless dumplings. Other places such as Maldives, Bali, Phuket, and Saipan are also full of people. There are not only ordinary tourists, but also countless entertainment stars and reporters. .

The small town of Saint-Tropez in the south of France has become John's preferred holiday destination. Here he has a holiday villa with a large and scary area, which can perfectly protect the secrets between him and Lin Zhigao from being leaked, and Saint-Tropez has The humid and pleasant climate, as well as the best seawater sun bathing beach in France, are also very helpful for Lin Zhigao's recovery from injuries.

But the bad news is that Lin Zhigao doesn't want to spend the whole summer with John in this paradise. The sticky light bulb Sebastian decided to spend this summer vacation with his father. In front of Lin Zhigao, he told him with a smile, "If you can use me in the recovery process, don't be polite!", that pretendingly sweet expression really deserves a beating.

The two-person world no longer exists, and John simply suggested to Lin Zhigao: "Why don't you bring your parents along?"

Lin Zhigao agreed immediately, and he really hoped that his parents would accept the fact that he and John were already together.

Of course, Lin Changan and his wife knew that there was a special... relationship between their son and this Italian.Let’s not mention how Qian Hongyan thought hard and deduced all this from the matchmaking of the two couples. Later, when John went to China alone, they had already had a lot of face-to-face talks, and John only had to say to them, “Let Lin and Let me be together" (if Lin Zhigao hadn't been injured suddenly, this may have happened).

Later in Belgium, Lin Zhigao, who was worried about his right foot injury, did not hide his dependence on John. He only realized that he was holding John's hand tightly after seeing his parents' strange eyes several times.And John, who has always comforted him and dominated all matters related to the operation, is like an absolutely reliable partner in the marriage relationship.

Lin Chang'an and his wife just watched all this silently without saying a word. When Lin Zhigao returned to China to hold a press conference, they also went back together, but they went directly to Zhengzhou.

Parents are still angry, Lin Zhigao thought, but they didn't vent their anger on him after all, maybe it was because of the fact that John helped Lin Zhigao keep his right foot, which made them temporarily decide not to make a big deal out of it, or maybe it was because they I'm afraid that if there is a big trouble, it will affect Lin Zhigao's life.

He dialed his father Lin Changan's mobile phone with some anxiety, and when the call was connected, he called out cautiously: "Dad."

"Gao Gao." Lin Chang'an's voice was happy at first, but soon cooled down: "What's the matter?"

"Is there any remaining annual leave between my mother and you?" Lin Zhigao asked flatteringly, "The weather here in France is very good, why don't you come over for vacation."

Lin Changan's voice was cold: "Your mother and I don't have that spare time or money."

"But I have."

"That's your money, not ours."

"Isn't mine yours?" Lin Zhigao said nastyly: "You guys gave birth to me and raised me, let alone a vacation, I would be happy to hand in my passbook now!"

The other end of the phone was silent for about a few minutes before the voice rang again: "If I go to France with your mother, where will I live?"

"John has a villa."

"Where do you live now?"

"Ah."

"How did it go?"

"Take the plane."

"Nonsense. I ask who bought the ticket!"

"Uh." Lin Zhigao scratched his head, with a questioning tone: "John's secretary?"

"You earn tens of millions a year, and you just eat and live in his and use his?" Lin Changan couldn't help becoming irritable: "Do you still have the backbone of a man?!"

Lin Zhigao understood immediately, and he couldn't wait to express his opinion: "When he was in Turin, he still ate my food and lived in mine. I raised him for several months." At the end, he deliberately emphasized a little bit.

Lin Chang'an's voice sounded a little satisfied: "Old Lin's family members can't take advantage of others at any time. That's enough, hang up the phone."

"Aren't you coming with my mother?"

"Bastard boy, if you are filial, you won't come back to China to see us? Do you want your mother and me to fly around?"

Lin Zhigao quickly said: "I will return to China next month, I promise to return!"

Lin Changan cut off the phone without saying "goodbye", but Lin Zhigao still put on a smile all over his face, because he could tell that his father's tone was much more friendly than the last time he spoke.

The whetstone of time, there will always be a day when the diaphragm will be completely wiped clean, right?

……

Summer is always the busiest transfer season in the football world. Although the world's attention was attracted by the World Cup before, various transfer news still occupies a certain space in the sub-pages of major newspapers.

Messi has raised his annual salary again, and his salary has soared to No. 8 in football; Spain has introduced a new tax law. If Ronaldo renews his contract with Real Madrid in the future, Real Madrid will pay an extra tax of 700 million per year for his contract, so Real Madrid refused to give Ronaldo a salary increase, and Ronaldo began to be "unhappy"; AC Milan was in financial crisis, Berlusconi was ready to sell Ibrahimovic and Thiago to Paris Saint-Germain, and at the same time bought another The head striker, it is said that his goal is directed at Lin Zhigao; Inter Milan is getting poorer and poorer, they have no money to buy head stars from other leagues, so they can only sell a group of people, and then search for some good seedlings from small clubs; Ferguson The Jazz is getting older, Manchester United won the Premier League again this season, but they did not perform well in the European war, the British tabloids are full of rumors that "Ferguson can only stay in the coaching position for another year or two at most, he The only wish before retiring is to win the Big Ears Cup again. The chairman of Manchester United has promised not to set a cap on his transfer amount, so that he can buy whoever he wants”; Manchester United has frequent scandals with well-known stars. Their old rival, Manchester City, was taken aback. Manchester City, backed by a local rich man, is also planning to spend money everywhere this summer, so as not to let their mortal enemy be the only one; The news of his transfer is spreading everywhere; Drogba is very unhappy in the Chinese Super League. There are definite news that he intends to break up with Shanghai Shenhua and return to the European game...

For Juventus, Marotta offered Lin Zhigao a five-year renewal contract with an annual salary of 500 million euros. Although the time is a little longer, the goal bonus is set relatively generously. If the contract is advanced half a year If it appeared, Jiang Shupeng would definitely persuade Lin Zhigao to sign it immediately, but now, when comparing it with the contract with an annual salary of 800 million pounds sent by Manchester City, it was instantly killed and turned into scum.

A top striker's annual salary is only 500 million euros?People will think that this striker has either passed his peak period, and if he wants to play in the top league, he must cut his salary and sell himself, such as the "Lord of the Rings" Raul who transferred from La Liga to La Liga; For parallel imports, the price must be lowered first so as not to be sold off by the club.But Lin Zhigao does not belong to these two situations. On the contrary, he is young and in excellent condition, and the five-year long contract is equivalent to requiring Lin Zhigao to lock up the most brilliant and peak period of his life in Juventus. s.

Jiang Shupeng felt that this price was not directly proportional to the value that Lin Zhigao could create for the club. He suggested that Lin Zhigao also learn from Ronaldo and accept some "unhappy" news in the interview, but Lin Zhigao does not want to deal with the media for the time being, so Jiang Shupeng Thinking that I must talk to Marotta again, and if necessary, I can bring the Manchester City contract to apply pressure.

However, before Jiang Shupeng went to Turin, an event closely related to Lin Zhigao happened in Italian football, and it caused quite a stir in several major European leagues: Capello recently accepted the "Turin Sports News" In an interview, when the reporter asked him about Lin Zhigao's injury, he said: "Lin is very popular with his teammates in the team. All our coaches and players hope that he can return to his previous state as soon as possible, because it doesn't matter to him. It's very important for the club."

The reporter immediately asked him about the Juventus lineup for the new season. Capello first said that "the transfer will be handled by the club manager Marotta", and then accidentally mentioned: "Lin is not in the team for the time being in the Super Cup in August. In the starting roster, because his foot injury is still not healed. The new season? This is hard to say, because no one knows whether Lin can fully recover from his injury at the end of August, but even if he will miss a period of time due to injury in the new season , That will not be a big problem, fans don't have to worry about the team's performance will decline at the beginning of the league, I will look for other players to play his position temporarily."

What time is it in July?It is the most sensitive transfer season, a simple sentence can be interpreted into countless deep meanings, not to mention Capello expressing the meaning so clearly!What does Capello mean?Can his words represent Juventus?

Reporters flocked to surround Juventus general manager Marotta and asked him, "Does Capello's words mean that Juventus will buy another powerful striker to replace Lin this summer? Or that Lin will be sold?" "Associating that Lin Zhigao has not yet renewed his contract with Juventus, the reporters became even more excited.

Marotta was terribly questioned. While he was annoyed, he was also very worried about Capello's EQ. He repeatedly denied the reporter's speculation, firmly denied it, but at this time, the British media suddenly broke out—— —Manchester City begged for 5000 million euros to buy Lin Zhigao!

The news came from the mouth of Manchester City chairman Mubarak Jr. Marotta couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to, so he could only explain dryly: “Yes, there is such a thing, but we rejected Manchester City’s transfer request , Lin is not for sale at the club."

If it was a week ago, reporters might still believe Marotta's rhetoric, but now?They always feel that things are not that simple, otherwise why would the Juventus manager and coach speak differently?A day later, the headline on the front page of the Turin Sports News: "Lin Zhigao may be replaced in the new season!" "

……

Marotta called Capello angrily: "You have caused me a big trouble!"

Capello, who was flipping through the newspaper on the other end of the phone, was a little guilty: "Hey, what happened?"

"I heard the sound of the newspaper being flipped, you know what happened!"

After a pause, Capello said dryly: "Isn't it just some reporters talking nonsense? I'm used to not taking their reports seriously."

"Not everyone thinks the same as you, Fabio. You think it's nothing, but have you ever thought that it might become a fuse?" Marotta said angrily: "'The fans don't I am worried that the team's performance will decline at the beginning of the league, and I will look for other players to take Lin's place temporarily' What does this sentence mean?"

"...It means finding a player to take Lin's place temporarily."

"Are you implying that Lin's core position will be lost even if he recovers from his injury, or that the team will sell him?"

"Of course not."

"But fans who read this report and read your interview will automatically understand that!"

Capello pouted: "They have problems with comprehension, it's not my fault."

Marotta's head throbbed: "Have you ever thought about what Lin will think when he sees this report?"

"Uh, will you recover well?"

"Wrong!" Marotta couldn't help yelling: "He will feel that you don't value him anymore, and he will feel that most of his positions in the locker room will be challenged. In addition, I haven't talked to him about the annual salary. Sure, he may choose not to renew his contract, or even transfer to another club!"

"What?" Capello also yelled: "The team hasn't renewed his contract yet?!"

Capello became irritable: "What did you do? Giuseppe, what about the transfer sense you are proud of? You should sign a five-year contract with a player like Lin at least!"

"Do you think it's easy? Raising his salary alone means raising the salary of the entire team, do you understand?"

"I don't care." Capello threatened: "My team can't lose one person after the new season starts, otherwise you don't want me to guarantee you the championship."

"Okay, let's take a step back." Marotta took a deep breath: "You go to Lin, care about his foot injury, and promise that his status will not be challenged...no matter what, use the favor card to win He softened his heart, and then I went to talk to his agent who fell into the eyes of money to renew his contract."

"The contract between the player and the club is not something I should care about." Capello said awkwardly: "If he is a good player, he will come back during the pre-season training camp."

"Fabio, your emotional intelligence..." Marotta held his forehead: "Also, most of the time you are too cold-blooded, which will frighten most young people and prevent them from getting close to you."

Capello snorted: "I don't need that kind of stuff either."

"Anyway, it's settled like this. If you don't want to lose your core in the new season, just do as I say!" Marotta hung up the phone quickly, as if afraid of the other party's repentance.

Capello stared at the microphone in his hand, but there was only a heartless "didi" sound coming from it.
