Brother beggar, don't wave to guard the gate

After several rounds of the group stage, the top sixteen of the Champions League has already been released, and the draw has been completed at the end of December.

The opponents in the quarter-finals are determined by drawing lots, and there are several avoidance principles.

First, the teams in the same group avoid.In other words, the opponents encountered in the group stage will not be encountered in at least the quarter-finals.

Second, avoid teams from the same country.In other words, it is impossible for Manchester United to meet other British teams.

Third, the group avoids first.Manchester United, who qualified as No.1 in the group stage, will only meet No.2 in other groups.

And Manchester United's luck in the draw was not bad. The opponent in one-eighth of the games was Marseille from France.

The Marseille football team is a veteran team in France. It was established in 1899 and has a history of 110 years.

Marseille is also the only French team to have won the Champions League.

However, today's Marseille is not a particularly strong opponent.

No.1 in the UEFA Champions League group stage will play away first and then home in one-eighth of the games.

So Elleric came to Marseille with the team.

The city of Marseille is the capital of Provence in southeastern France, the largest port in the Mediterranean Sea and the second largest city in France.

On an old street near the old port of Marseille, there is a restaurant called ladaurade, which has a lot of good reviews on the Internet, and it is also the destination where Ellery sneaked out.

Although it was sneaking, Elleric also greeted Ferguson after completing the training to adapt to the court.

Just because he greeted Sir Alex, Eleryk had to bring Rooney out.

When I went out, I happened to meet Owen and Smalling who were about to go to the restaurant.

A group of four people turned left from quairiveneuve into St-Saens Road, and finally on the right hand side, they found this restaurant facing away from Canonville Street.

Ellery first ordered a few dishes recommended on the Internet.

Marseille's most famous is bouillebaisse Provence fish soup.

This fish soup needs to add at least five kinds of sea fish to cook, and also needs to add crab and mussels to enhance the layered taste of the soup.

Ladaurade will also add unique secrets to the soup-Aioli (ailloli with garlic dipping sauce) and Luyou (spicy saffron seasoning), fennel, parsley and other Mediterranean spices.

The second course is piedspaquets, which is also a specialty of Marseille.

Choose local sheep tripe, add garlic, parsley and salt pork, and then wrap it into a roll with the sheep's feet. After adding the ingredients, boil it for a few hours. When the cartilage turns into juice and the sheep's feet are separated from the flesh, it is ready to eat. Full of Mediterranean flavor.

Elle Rico, who is blind in French, ordered directly by pointing to the pictures on his mobile phone. Fortunately, the waiter communicated in English with a French accent.

He began to regret it a little, why didn't he find a player who had played football in France to act as an interpreter.

The four of them who came together basically could only talk by looking at pictures.

Fortunately, the price of ladaurade is not cheap, but the portion is very good.Everyone ordered some food according to their own understanding of the food in the picture, and it seemed to be enough.

Tasting dashi is divided into two steps.

The first step is to spread the freshly baked garlic toast, spread the local mayonnaise, and then dip it in the fish pond to taste the combination of rural atmosphere and ocean atmosphere.

In the second step after the fish soup, the waiter delivered a large wave of fish ingredients, so that the four players of Manchester United could taste all kinds of seafood.

Ellery was very satisfied with the food.

Although the taste is quite different from what you usually eat, this is the meaning of travel!You can eat different tastes.

Wait...it doesn't seem like you're here for a tour?

Thinking back to Elrico, who was down to business, he tweeted.

adgcd: Ah~ the food in Masai is so delicious!After playing the game tomorrow, I hope to have a meal before leaving! [Gourmet picture + group photo]

Rooney: Hahaha I'm full!Watch me show my skills tomorrow!

Owen: The food in Marseille is really delicious. It's a little different from what you usually eat, but it's delicious!

Smalling: Can you post on Weibo while walking, what if we are surrounded by fans from Marseille? [Only took a group photo of myself]

#Hahaha, Marseille fans pay attention, if you want to win tomorrow's game, you just leave these few to eat#

#几个小儿子 Come out quickly, if the chef is a Marseille fan, you won’t be able to play tomorrow! #

#Wait, Smalling, the guy who changed the subject, look at the group photo he posted!He poked himself! #

#它事... After p, his appearance is still the third, and he can only surpass Rooney. #

#That's true, both p and no p are third, why so much effort...#

#So Rooney never P pictures, anyway P is the bottom...#

Netizens probably didn't expect that they would learn from each other.

On the second day of the game, Rooney, Irving and Smalling all sat on the bench with pale faces.

The three of them ran to the toilet several times last night and almost fell asleep on the toilet.

As soon as he lifted his butt, he sat back with an uncontrollable feeling.

Rooney was even a little worried about whether he would get hemorrhoids.

You know, he has already been laughed at by the whole of England because of the relatively low density of vegetation above his head. If there is another hemorrhoid...

Holding the hot water, Owen entered the health maintenance mode.

He hopes that drinking more hot water can cure all diseases, so that he can recover as soon as possible, and maybe he can come off the bench.

Smalling rubbed back and forth on the bench, always feeling like he wanted to stand up, but desperately held back.

Meulensteen was dumbfounded by Smalling's actions, "If you can't help it, go to the toilet..."

Smalling shook his head firmly, "No, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Sir Ferguson didn't know whether these people could not bear the stomach because they ate too much yesterday, or because they were prone to diarrhea after eating too much seafood.

Anyway, a dinner, let Ferguson lose three starters...

Sir Alex Ferguson didn't know who to turn to for trouble.

It is impossible to poison and throw laxatives.

It is impossible for real fans to do this. Once they are found out, Marseille may be banned for several games, directly eliminated from the Champions League, and may not be able to participate in all UEFA competitions next year.

So maybe, it's really these three people who are unwell together?

But why is that brat Elleric all right?

The Sir hadn't figured it out.

According to the lord's understanding of Elle Rico, that kid must be the one who ate the most.

If it is really unsuitable to eat, how can the one that eats the most be fine?

The three who ate less, collectively stood up?

Last night, when Elle Rico went for a walk in the hotel garden to digest food (actually, he was on the phone with Ronaldo), three people bought a bag of popsicles and played fifa while eating...

The three of them looked at each other and decided to keep the matter a secret.

Smolin swears to God that he will never buy an unfamiliar brand again!The street shop is too bad!

This bag of popsicles of unknown brand and production date made Manchester United's away game 0:0.

Elery was a little disappointed.

Without Owen and Rooney, he really felt that Manchester United's forwards did not put pressure on Marseille.

Manchester United failed to score an away goal, making the result of this one-eighth knockout match somewhat unknown.

The media, who originally thought that Manchester United could win easily, also began to sing bad news.

Unless Manchester United can win at home at Old Trafford.

Otherwise, even if it is a draw, as long as Marseille scores a goal, they will advance to the quarter-finals because of Marseille's home goal at Manchester United and an away goal.

Eleryk has some dissatisfaction with herself.

He thought, if he knew more about tactics, if he could mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates on the court, if he could...

It would be great if I could bring Mr. Bao to open the eagle-eyed perspective!

That lazy bird!Isn't it just to fly to Marseilles, I don't want to! !

After getting on the bus angrily, Ellery suddenly thought of the agreement on Twitter yesterday, and turned his head to look at the three people who huddled on the bench throughout the day.

"Then you three, can you still have something delicious tonight?"

Owen, Rooney, and Smalling all looked pale and shook their heads.

Seeing the reactions of his friends, Elle Rico stood up and applied with Sir Alex to go back to the hotel by himself.

Because of this unexpected average, Eleryk was a little dissatisfied with his performance, so he planned to take a walk on the side of the road to adjust his mood.

Sir Ferguson smiled and agreed to Alerrick's request.

Although it was a draw, Manchester United was temporarily at a disadvantage.

But Sir Alex was in no hurry.

In the next game at Old Trafford, Manchester United will definitely win at home!

The Sir can probably guess Elric's mood, which is why the Sir is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Ellery has never been very fond of football.

He only wants to win because he wants to win in everything, not really crazy about football.

So Eleryk hasn't made much progress in the tactics class, as if all the tactics he's heard just went in from one ear and went out from the other.

The lord did not force Elrico either.

Sir Alex Ferguson knew Elle Rico was very talented, and he also knew that Elle Rico came to play football only because Ferguson, Ronaldo and a group of good friends like football.

Only when Ellery finds the target by himself can he break through the existing bottleneck.

And this is a draw where Ellery can't decide the outcome, if he can help Ellery figure it out, it will be worth it.

Ellery was alone, walking the streets of Marseilles.

The street view of Marseille has the unique temperament of the Mediterranean, and the scenery made Elle Rico gradually forget his troubles.

"Messi is stronger!"

"C Ronaldo is amazing!"

"Look at Messi's dribbling, Messi's sense of the ball, do you understand football!"

"I don't understand football? Wow, no wonder you always lose to me, it's because you don't understand Ronaldo's football!"

Elery, who was distracted, didn't know which path he turned himself to. Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone and use GPS to guide him to find the way back to the hotel, he heard two children arguing.

Eleric, I don't understand at all...

The children, who were arguing in French, seemed to have just finished a strenuous exercise.

Among them was a child with slightly darker skin, holding a football.

Although I can't understand what they are arguing about, but through football, and the pronunciation of the names of Ronaldo and Messi, which can be heard even in French-Ellery can roughly judge, maybe they are arguing for idols?

Taking advantage of no one around, Elleri can secretly change the phone to super power mode, put on a bluetooth headset, and turn on the translation function.

This is said to be a new product developed by Tony when he returned to New York after he went to the Middle East and found that he could not communicate with the people of the Middle East.

There are more than a dozen mainstream languages.

As long as this function is turned on, the translation of the sound heard by AI can be fed back through the headset.

"Killian, don't you think Messi's sense of the ball is great? Ronaldo's skills are obviously not as good as Messi's!"

"C Ronaldo is more comprehensive! Both feet are balanced, the header is also great, and his physical fitness is so good. Bono, you and I like Ronaldo together!"

Ellery followed the two children, eavesdropping as they walked.

It turns out that this little boy named Killian likes Ronaldo, and his friend Bono likes Messi.

"Killian, you said we sneaked out to watch the Champions League, will we be scolded by the coach?"

"No, I won't tell you if you don't tell me, the coach will only think we are sick!"

Eleryk's eyes lit up, and it turned out that they were still two mischievous ghosts.

"But this game was so boring. Ronaldo's friend didn't show much, so he just stood in front of the goal."

"The goalkeeper should be in front of the goal!"

"Don't speak for him just because he is a friend of Ronaldo. He always goes out of the penalty area! And he shoots, how fun!"

"Don't blame Greenwald for today's draw. If it weren't for Manchester United's lack of striker today, it would be impossible to draw."

"Hey, that's true, it would be great if Rooney and Irving could play!"

If Rooney and Irving played, would the result of the game be different? Ellery thinks maybe he will win.

At this moment, when he heard these two children help him throw the blame for the draw to the striker, Elery suddenly thought of a sentence that Sir Alex once said.

Football, being a team sport, individual heroism may save the team in some miracle moment.

But if you want to keep winning, it must be the result of the joint efforts of 11 players on the court, the substitutes off the court, and the coaches.

Elleric stopped and thought for a moment.

For football, he still has a lot to learn.

So what if... want to be lazy?

You must find a boss to carry!

Ellery switched his phone back to normal mode and sent Mendez a message.

[If Manchester United wins five championships this season, Ferguson will retire. 】

Mendez who received the message: Fuck! ! !Such a revelation.

A series of head coach names flashed through Mendes' mind, wondering who might move to Manchester United and become the new king of Old Trafford.

Originally, he planned to renew Elery's contract and raise some wages, but now Mendes plans to wait until Ferguson retires.

No matter which head coach comes to Manchester United, it will definitely be easier to deal with than Sir Alex Ferguson, and it will be easier to talk about raising wages at that time.

[When Sir Alex retires, I want to be on the same team as Chris. 】

Mendez: ...

The good news is that when Elery is about to transfer and when Manchester United is about to send express to Real Madrid, Sir Alex Ferguson has retired.

The bad news is that Real Madrid is very difficult to deal with!Is it true that Elle Rico is going to be Cassie's substitute?

Allerike just told his agent what he thought.

He knew that if there was a problem and he couldn't do it, Mendes would contact him too.

Sure enough, Mendes simply replied [Okay, I know, I will do my best. 】

So, let go of the big stone in your heart and wait for the next season. With the tacit understanding with Ronaldo, Elery, who was led by a big boss, walked forward quickly and caught up with the two children who were discussing.

Ellery could speak a series of words with a London accent with a German uvula, regardless of whether the children understood or not, he squatted down and took a selfie with the two children.

On Twitter that night, Ellery posted such a passage.

adgcd: On the streets of Marseille, I occasionally met two children who were arguing whether Ronaldo is better or Messi is better. [group photo]

The family members of the two children, please contact me by private message.I have covered the tickets for the second match between Manchester United and Marseille. I hope they can come and watch.

'kylian' I think you are very discerning, I will help you get a signed jersey from Rockles, and I will give it to you when you come to Old Trafford to watch the game!

And 'bonno', it's all my fault for not being able to win this time, not being able to score goals, disappointing you.

Bet on the name of the goalkeeper, next time you face Marseille, I will definitely show you a wonderful shot! !

Smalling: No... cd, it's all my fault. I bought Sanwu ice cream and ate it with Rooney Irving, but I had diarrhea and couldn't play.It's all my faults!Don't blame yourself for it!you are right!You are very good at guarding the gate!

Owen: cd, I will never eat without telling you from now on.Please, don't blame yourself.You don't need to do it yourself, I will score next time, I really will!

Rooney: There is still a round of Champions League matches in 20 days. I have to study French hard for 20 days.In the next competition, I will have a good chat with the bonno kids.

The author has something to say: 1.

Elle Rico: The qaq game was a draw, and I'm not happy that I haven't scored yet.

Ronaldo: Come to Real Madrid, I will take you flying!

Cassie: The old man is talking about teenage madness, you guard the goal and I strike forward.

Ramos, Marcelo, Pepe: Dad no!
