[Football] The Light of Abandoned Sons

When the Dutch team once again managed to survive the penalty shootout, the Dutch people who stood side by side and hooked their shoulders to pray went crazy and collectively rushed towards the man in front of the goal.

The one who reacted the fastest and rushed to the front was Van Persie. Lawrence van der Ley untied his gloves and threw them aside excitedly. When he looked up, he saw him who was about to rush forward.Van Persie started to brake to avoid knocking him down, but Lao van der Ley held down the back of his head, and the two men, who were also too excited and their brains went blank, kissed proactively under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Alao looked at the guy's eyes that widened instantly, those eyes were so energetic, so beautiful that Alao wished that time would stop at this moment.But no, he could only pretend to calmly move away the lips that were just sticking together after a few seconds of contact, and then embraced the man in his arms again as if nothing had happened, Van Persie still seemed to be shocked No response.Robben and Sneijder rushed forward with a large group of teammates, surrounded by these two people, and no one could see what was going to happen.

Alger Robben felt sorry for himself, and he was so desperately worried about covering them, why did it get worse and worse?He couldn't kiss Sneijder just to attract attention, could he?

Ned, who seemed to know what he was thinking, looked up at him silently, "I refuse."

"...I will refuse too! Don't speak as if I have acquiesced!"

Lao van der Ley felt a rare calm in the crowd of shouts and cheers, "How can our looks be able to compete with Steven and Alonso on the Istanbul night? A rare moment of excitement among the players , can’t help it, hahaha they will understand.”

"...But this is not the final." Van Persie said with a hoarse voice, Aarau raised his hand and put the captain's armband on Van Persie's arm again, "For me as the captain, this is it."

"That was your last game. If you don't become the captain, who can be the captain?"

"I want to see you lead the Netherlands to the World Cup title as the captain. That is my last game. Of course you will listen to me."

Lao van der Ley squeezed out of the encirclement after speaking, which was definitely not easy. When he struggled out of the filthy air wrapped by a bunch of muscular men, he actually felt like he had survived a catastrophe.He patted the wrinkled and muddy jersey, took off Krull's jersey and put it on his arm, and looked at the reporters carrying long guns and short cannons surrounding him, secretly encouraging himself.Following the question of "How does it feel to win the penalty kick again as a goalkeeper", "What do you want to say about the final opponent Germany" and "What is the reason for the kiss between you and Van Persie?", Aarau always smiled but said nothing. He walked over to the bench without saying a word.

Of course, the reporters followed behind him unstoppably, and when they saw so many journalists falling behind Lao van der Ley, more reporters joined the ranks.Aarau walked to the empty bench, put Krul's jersey on the chair, and started to turn over his backpack. After a few clicks, when everyone thought he would make a big move, he An electric hair clipper was pulled out from inside.

The reporters looked at this man stupidly with their cameras or microphones on their shoulders.

I saw him laying his long-sleeved team jersey on the ground again, squatting down neatly, grabbing his iconic semi-long hair and hanging it in front, turning on the electric hair clipper in front of these cameras, Started doing my own hair.

One strand, two strands...

The stadium camera finally noticed this scene that left everyone dumbfounded.

One strand, two strands...

More and more Dutch people in the stands forgot to celebrate because of the scenes on the big screen.

Because of his lack of proficiency for the first time, his hair, which was always kept soft and shiny, turned into a bald and embarrassing appearance, but Alao himself continued as if he didn't realize how much attention he had attracted. For their own work, the hands of the reporters carrying the equipment were trembling.

Pieces of hair fell as he gradually mastered how to use the machine, and spread all over his jersey. Who would have the heart to ask this Dutch football player what he thought of just now, so he didn't hear about it? A kiss with Van Persie who has a particularly good relationship with him, who has the heart to ask?

The young man carrying the video camera in the press corps from England glanced at the woman beside him who had fallen silent because of Lao van der Ley's action, and he realized that at some point, she had burst into tears, and the reporter's microphone in his hand kept going. The ground was trembling in his hand, Lao van der Rayon was always the chic and unrestrained look with long hair fluttering on the court, how could he decisively decide to end all this without saying a word?

"Don't do this...don't do this, Aarau." Alexandra covered his mouth and looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be separated from the world. He was 15 years old, 17 years old, and 25 years old. , 27, and 35 years old are all his idols, why did he make such a firm decision to stop abruptly at the age of 35?

Of course she knew about Lao Van der Rey's intention to retire, but even if there was only a slight possibility left, she thought he would change his mind because of his outstanding performance in this cup.

"Don't be like this..." There are too many diehard Dutch fans in the fan stands. Of course, some of them suddenly remembered the saying that this man had the same hairstyle for more than ten years. He once said that at the moment he decided to retire, Say goodbye to your career by shaving all your hair.But everyone except him took the words of the man with a smile on his lips as a joke.

Cheletsen asked Laura van der Rey, do you know that a joke is a joke because it is hard to be true?

Lao van der Ley probably couldn't tell the truth, that's why he made the so-called jokes that came out of his mouth come true one by one.

The man who concentrated on shaving his head seemed so unconcerned that even the Argentines forgot the anguish of being eliminated just now, but looked at the pantomime directed and performed by the Dutchman in astonishment.

Messi stared blankly at all this, and the sudden sense of powerlessness in his heart far surpassed the moment when the penalty kick was saved just now.He's running away again?He's running away again!It's not just Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, he simply decided to leave completely this time!

This indicates that, except for the German guys in the next game, no one will have a chance to beat this man again.

More and more people in the Dutch stands flocked to the front of the stands. No matter how hard the security guards at the stadium tried, they couldn't let them back down. Many people even planned to turn down the stands to stop Lao van der Rey's actions.

"He can't do this!" A man with red eyes showed a ferocious face, but the tears on his cheeks made him look less scary, "He can still, he can still score a hat-trick, and he can still lead us to a penalty shootout... ...He can't..." As he said that, he finally slipped a little bit and sat on the ground crying, obviously they just won a victory, obviously a few days ago they were still talking about the old captain returning to the top league, how could he ...

"Why, he is going to retire ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'

No one can answer him, even the Brazilian security personnel who have just suffered a disastrous defeat can feel the pain of this fan, these fans, obviously a moment ago they were still cheering for entering the final, all of a sudden, Dutch fans, Argentine fans Either way, they seem to have forgotten the existence of the finals.

They only have the Dutchman in their eyes. The hair on the top of the man's head has become thinner and thinner, but his movements are getting slower and slower. The man's palms in the camera are trembling clearly, but Aarau knows that he will not Give up, but you won't regret it.

The next second the electric hair clipper in his hand was taken away, and he looked up to see his teammates, and the buzzing machine was in Robben's hand.

Robben glanced at the machine, which was still equipped with a famous brand, clicked his tongue, pulled the squatting Alaura up and pushed him onto the bench.Van Persie threw his coat on the ground, Robben said "bow your head", and skillfully handled the dog-gnawing hair that Law van der Ley shaved himself.

After everything was dealt with, Van Persie tried the feel of the hand with a slap in the face, and Aarau himself touched his head and stood up, and the group of reporters finally came to their senses.

"Arau, what do you mean, the World Cup final is the last match?"

"Aarau, why did you choose to announce it now?"

"Aarau, why did you choose this way to say goodbye?"

Lao van der Ley pressed his hand to signal not to worry, he will answer their questions one by one.

——There is no farewell match, the next final will be the last one.

- I don't want to disappoint them after winning the final.

——I originally thought, I'm Lao Van der Rey, I'm so good, even if my fans like me just because of my appearance, there's nothing wrong with it.But I figured it out later, I am so good, how can you like me only for my appearance?

The German team, who watched the game, the head coach Loew watched all this, and looked back at the dignified players in the team, "The killer of the Dutch team... now, except for the Germans, everyone probably hopes that the man Retired with honor, holding the Hercules Cup."

After that semi-final, the news that Lao van der Rey regarded the final as his last and would not hold a testimonial match was regarded as a major hype by the media of various countries.And all the media in the Netherlands kept silent about this matter, and their focus was all on the final between Germany and the Netherlands.

For the Netherlands, the game against Germany never required mobilization.Just as Argentina will not forget the humiliation in the Malvinas naval battle, the Netherlands will not forget the terrible disaster brought to them by Nazi Germany in World War II.The game between the two teams will always trigger countless saliva on both sides, which has gone beyond the scope of football, and has more or less risen to the level of national dignity.

If it's not about football, what follows is definitely about Dutch-German rivalry.The Dutch superstar Cruyff was ahead of that era in terms of personal ability, but unfortunately he met a German leader who was also ahead of that era - Beckenbauer.It was also this German team that caused the Dutch team to only win the World Cup runner-up in 1974. Many people thought that this game was like a curse, and it also paved the way for the difficult road for the Netherlands to win the championship.

And when this generation of Cruyff left, the next talent spurt period in the Netherlands was the period of the Three Musketeers in the 90s. The Netherlands, led by the Three Musketeers in Serie A, was undoubtedly regarded as the team most likely to win the championship. It's a pity that they were defeated by the German team only in the quarter-finals.

But even if this seems logical, the incident about the retirement of Lao van der Rey, which was completely ignored by the Dutch media and even the Dutch fans, still made many people who thought they knew the truth of the matter unceasingly criticized.How much this man has paid for the Dutch team, even if the Hercules Cup is extremely important, is it really so significant that Lao Van der Rey can be completely ignored?

A reporter caught Aarau wanting to conduct an interview, but he never mentioned his retirement.And when the Dutch national team headed by Van Basten didn't mention this matter at all, everyone suddenly wondered, could it be that there is any dissatisfaction in the Netherlands with Lao van der Rey's public announcement?But it's better for him to be announced as the 'last national team captain' in the semi-finals than in the final, at least people are mentally prepared that this is his last game.What's more, if he wins, it will force a shadow over the victory, and if he doesn't win, according to this man's character, how could he choose...

Yes, if he didn't announce it, according to this man's character, how could he choose to...retire when he lost in the final?

This move of his probably completely cut off the retreat, whether it was the Netherlands, Germany, or his own.

Lao van der Ley's character is so, and he has a legendary experience and good looks. Not to mention that everyone in football is friendly with him, but there are not many who are against him.Although there must be sunspots, in this case, it is always easier to arouse the feelings of others.

But in the end the silent will not be silent forever.

On the night before the World Cup final, a new photo was released on the official social platform belonging to the Dutch team.Lao Van der Rey propped his chin on the table, smiling like a flower. Behind him was Robin van Persie, wearing the captain's armband and stroking his bald head solemnly.

[Will you still love him when he is no longer young and beautiful? 】The next day in Amsterdam, in Holland, where all employees were on vacation because of the World Cup finals, a middle-aged man walked to the newsstand and stared at the empty sample shelves outside, "Boss, the sports newspaper——"

The boss casually took out a thin page of newspaper from behind and handed it to him. The passer-by who came to buy the newspaper laughed angrily while holding the so-called newspaper, "You didn't even ask me what I wanted to buy! And what kind of newspaper is this!"

The boss paused the computer live video in front of him, opened the window wide, and motioned him to look inside, "Today's newspapers are all like this, do you want to buy it or not?"

Passers-by looked puzzled and opened the page of printed paper, and the first page they saw was a picture of Lao van der Rey holding the Hercules Cup and laughing wantonly when the Dutch national team won the World Cup in 2010. The beautiful print reads "Willyoustilllovehim ", the second page is a photo of the man bowing his head in front of a flashlight and shaving off his soft half-long hair, "Whenheisnolongeryoungandbeautiful".

The passerby's arm trembled a little, he sniffed, he didn't want a 40-year-old man to cry in such a large public, it would be too embarrassing, but his voice was still hoarse, "All of them, like this?"

"They seem to have made an agreement. A few days ago, they published all the news and information that can be broadcast, just for today's finals—" the boss said and turned the computer in the direction of this passerby. It seemed that he had already done this. After a few times, he has become proficient. Show him the news on the homepage of the national team, "He is going to retire. This is a fact. It is not something that we can pass without mentioning it. We can't just pretend that we don't understand. Wait until If he really leaves, do you regret not giving him the grandest farewell?"

"...You have several kinds of newspapers here, give me a copy of each."

The boss was taken aback, "I told you all are the same, it's true." But he still stood up and took a copy of the newspaper, and heard the customer behind him ask, "Lao van der Ley is going to retire too... the next one How many more years will Lloyd Vanderleigh have to wait?"

The boss neatly collected several newspapers and handed them to him, "I have been from 30 years old to now 40 years old. The Netherlands has lost the title of uncrowned king and has truly become a football powerhouse. Lao van der Rey is the Dutch national team to me... I don't have another Rau van der Rey in mind."

In the player tunnel, because of Cillessen's injury and once again serving as the main goalkeeper of the national team, Lou van der Rey stood behind Van Persie, chewing gum.Standing behind him are Blind and De Vrij, who switched positions. De Vrij raised his hand to touch Rau van der Rey's bald head while others were not paying attention. A Rau was chewing and hanging dead fish. looked at him.

The German team came out gradually. Aarau and Arjen Robben were very familiar with the Bayern players, and they greeted them with a smile, but it was over with a simple high-five, and they did not chat with each other.Thomas Muller deliberately went to the front of the team and patted Aarau on the shoulder before going back. The team that ended all of this gradually stood up.

Next to Aarau was Neuer, who was not looking sideways. Aarau seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and stretched out his hand, "Lao Vanderlei."

Neuer was taken aback for a moment, and he realized that he held his hand, "...Manuel Neuer."

The two teams walked out, and when the teams stood side by side facing the auditorium, Aarau was dazzled first, and then amused by the strange sight in front of him.

This is the first time, in the stands where the Dutch fans are concentrated, the most attractive thing is not the bright orange uniforms, but a large area of ​​shiny bald heads.The more than 100 people found that they had attracted the attention of Lao van der Rey, and they pulled up a huge canvas with great excitement. On it was a painting of Alao's new hair style. See the canvas that says, "Arau, you are the most handsome bald head."

Obviously, it was time to sing the national anthem before the final. Aarau smiled as if he was in vibration mode. Van Persie thought that he would not be noticed, and while holding back his smile with a tense face, he slapped Aarau with an elbow. Small movements were caught, laughs spread in the Dutch stands, and there was no final sense of urgency.Robben was probably the only one in the Dutch team who didn't smile. Even if he knew it was true, he still scratched his head and asked Sneijder reluctantly, even if he was bald, would Aarau be more handsome than himself?Snyder looked at his shining head, and replied with a "hehe".

The referee glanced at the situation and was amused, but did not urge them.This is probably what Van Basten complained about before the game. The referee team is also human. Maybe the referee will be more or less psychologically biased.

Finally, after the scene calmed down, the national anthem of the German team was played, and the German fans in the audience were full of breath from that moment just now, waiting for this moment to overwhelm their opponents.The sound surrounded the entire stadium, and the German players stood up proudly and excitedly, just waiting for the game to start.

It was the turn of the national anthem of the Netherlands. I don’t know if it was an illusion. The audience sang cheerfully at the end, and the overall voice became faster and faster. When the national anthems of both sides were finished, the audience cheered and cheered. The World Cup final is about to begin. During this rare In the silence, organized and rhythmic applause suddenly sounded from the stands.

"Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-Iwill!"

"Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-Iwill!"

"Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-Iwill!"

More and more people are joining, not just the Dutch.Aarau looked at them, stood with his head down in front of the goal and pretended to adjust his gloves calmly, but the camera that had been focusing on this man still noticed a tear on the glove.

Lou van der Ley took a deep breath, raised his arms and clapped his head to express his gratitude, and the cheers from the fans in the stands seemed like the game had been won.

Therefore, what he disliked the most in his life was parting.

The referee's whistle sounded, marking the start of the game, and everyone knew that when everyone on the field stopped slowly.

The time has come to say goodbye.

——The end——

The author has something to say:
