[Football] Because your eyes are too big

Stephanie is walking leisurely on the streets of Gelsenkirchen wearing sunglasses.

After finishing the French Open, she returned to Germany with the semi-finals of the French Open.

The first time she participated in the French Open, she broke into the semi-finals. Although Stephanie herself was not satisfied with this result, the people of the motherland were very happy. At least in their opinion, this has given them a new appreciation for German tennis. look forward to.

Because of this, Stephanie found it difficult for her to go shopping in Germany without makeup, even when she returned to her hometown of Gelsenkirchen.

Back home, Stephanie got close to her parents for a long time.In fact, she has another plan when she comes back this time, and that is to ask her father Bob if he plans to be her coach.

Although Stefani's teacher is Graf, Graf doesn't want to be a coach, and follows Stefani around for a year.

After all, she has retired, has a family, and hopes to live a leisurely life.She can guide Stephanie's shortcomings through video, the Internet, etc., but she doesn't intend to be a coach who follows the players around.

Stephanie also knew what the teacher thought, and she also understood Graf, so she planned to ask her father Bob if he would like to be her coach.Of course, it doesn't matter if Bob doesn't want to. Anyway, for a tennis player, the coach is not very useful during the game.Stephanie just needs to make sure to communicate with Graf, who is staying in the United States to watch the live broadcast, after the game.

Of course, in addition to coming back to enjoy family happiness, Stephanie gave up a few games during this trip just to watch the World Cup in Germany.

"Why didn't the German team play a game in Gelsenkirchen? Then I don't have to run around to watch the game!" Stephanie was quite depressed. Gelsenkirchen is the venue of the World Cup. It's a pity that neither the German team nor the Italian game is held here. The two most famous teams are probably Portugal and Argentina.

"Smelly girl, don't forget that you also have Italian nationality, and you are also an Italian. Come on, cheer for Italy with your mother!" Before the World Cup is about to start, the Muller family will face the fate of splitting. Stephanie's mother Isha decided to pull her daughter into her camp.

"Baby, you have already said that you are going to play for Germany in the Confederations Cup. You are a German!" Although Bob loves his wife very much, he still attaches great importance to national issues.

Stephanie was a little helpless. She was born in Germany and had never set foot on Italian land before she was ten years old. She really had no idea of ​​the Italian nationality she got because of her mother. She subconsciously regarded herself as a Totally German.She also likes the Italian national team, but the reason is because the Italian national team has many handsome guys.

While her dear parents were quarreling over national issues, Stephanie sneaked out.Anyway, in her opinion, in the end, Dad will definitely not be able to win over Mom.In their family, the Italians have the final say, and the Germans have to listen to the Italians.

Stephanie strolled down the street with a lollipop in her mouth. On the way, she met Mesut’s favorite snack and bought a piece. She was going to go to Mesut’s house to arrest him.

But before she came to Mesut's house, she ran into Mesut who was shopping with his girlfriend on the street.

The new coach who was appointed by the new official finally showed mercy and gave the youth team a holiday. Mesut originally planned to take a rest at home and watch a few classic football matches for analysis, but was rejected by the female coach. Friends called out.

Walking up and down the street with his girlfriend who became more and more excited when shopping, Mesut felt more tired than his usual physical training.

God knows why women's desire to shop is so strong!Mesut secretly thumped his sore leg and muttered in his heart.

The first women he came into contact with in his life were his mother and sisters, as well as Stephanie, who he had known since kindergarten. They seemed to be able to ignore time, three meals, and everything when shopping.

The same is true of his girlfriend now, Mesut glanced at his girlfriend who plunged into the shop on the street with full excitement.This is already his third or fourth girlfriend. Mesut himself can't remember clearly. The only thing he remembers is that they are all older than him, and those who are a few years older are considered young.So much so that he was ridiculed by his teammates in the youth training camp as a mother who couldn't live without his mother, even looking for a girlfriend who had to look for an aunt's generation.

Seeing his girlfriend walking into a store excitedly, Mesut raised his head boredly and rolled his big eyes towards the sky.so boring!

If Mesut knew who he would meet next moment, he would not have said so.

"Mesut?" A very familiar voice made Mesut immediately look down and twist his neck. His neck turned a little anxiously, and he almost twisted.

Wearing sneakers, skinny jeans, and a simple T-shirt, the girl looked at her with a lively look.Although the sunglasses covered most of the girl's face, Mesut dared to swear by the beatings he had endured over the years that this was definitely his now very famous little friend Stephanie.

"Nini?" Mesut called out in a low voice. Although the Internet is now developed and they often keep in touch, he and Stephanie haven't really met face to face for two or three years.

"Hey, why are your eyes bigger than what you saw in the video? And why are you so short?" Stephanie walked over slowly, and raised her hand to greet him.When she got closer, she even compared her height with Mesut.

Hearing Stephanie mentioned that his eyes were big, Mesut's first reaction was pain all over his body, and then when she mentioned his height, he was helpless and somewhat sad in his heart.

When he was young, he was about the same height as Stephanie, basically the shortest group among his peers, and then he was a little taller than Stephanie.

Stephanie was also shorter than Mesut when she left Germany for America.But who can tell him why the little friend grew taller after going to the United States as if he ate manure.

The current Mesut's body is still developing, and her development is slower than that of a girl, Stephanie, and boys are not as tall as girls.This has also led to him looking shorter at 1.7 meters tall than Stephanie, who is also 1.7 meters tall.

"Welcome back!" Mesut resolutely ignored the embarrassing topic of height.

"Here, here you are." Stephanie handed the cake she bought to Mesut. "I was planning to go to your house, but I ran into you on the way."

Mesut took a look at the cake box, and then smiled. It really was his favorite cake.

Because of the cake, Mesut's original sense of strangeness caused by his friend's fame and distance was swept away. He chatted happily with Stephanie, as if they had never been separated.

"That's right. We'll watch the game together. If we go to Munich, we can live with Thomas."

"Manuel may also act with us." Mesut mentioned another good friend of his, Neuer. If Stephanie does not come back, he will be with Neuer and the youth training. The friends in the camp watched the football together. It is a pity that his girlfriend does not like watching the football and will not watch the football with him.

"Okay, I must have a good chat with our Schalke 04 main goalkeeper." Stephanie smiled and narrowed her eyes. As a Schalke fan, she knows the main lineup of the team's current first team very well, so she naturally knows Neuer, the senior in the same primary school as Mesut, has become the main goalkeeper.

Just when Stephanie was about to take Mesut away and go to his house to plan a game plan, a woman's voice came in: "Mesut, who is this?"

Mesut's girlfriend just came out of the store with two shopping bags in her hands. As soon as she went out, she saw her boyfriend who was weak every time he went shopping with her, smiling and saying to a woman wearing something.

As a woman, Mesut's girlfriend immediately sounded the warning. She felt that even when facing her, Mesut never smiled so brightly.She also knew that Mesut had had several girlfriends before her, and he was not someone who settled down easily.

Out of a woman's intuition, she immediately came over and interrupted the conversation between Stephanie and Mesut.

"This is Mesut?" Mesut's girlfriend immediately took Mesut's arm affectionately, showing Stephanie the intimacy between her and Mesut.

Stephanie raised her eyebrows, and her eyes, hidden behind dark glasses, flashed with interest.In fact, she was a little unhappy. That woman came over and showed off to herself like a peacock. What is she going to show off?

What made her even more angry was that anyone with a discerning eye could see the relationship between this woman and Mesut, but she, a good friend of Mesut, never heard Mesut mention this woman in their frequent contacts. .

Petty Mesut!Can I beat your girlfriend together?Stephanie stabbed Mesut's villain in her heart. Of course, she was still a little unhappy because her good friend Mesut might put other women before her in the future. This feeling It sucks.

Stephanie was upset, and Mesut was embarrassed that his girlfriend had suddenly come up to Stephanie to show their intimacy.For some reason, he was never willing to mention his love life in various contacts with Stephanie, always feeling that Stephanie should not know about these things.

"This is Nini, my good friend, who just came back from the United States. Nini, this is my...girlfriend Elena." Although the little friend was wearing sunglasses, Mesut could still feel that she was hiding behind the sunglasses Not happy, but under the current situation, he can only bite the bullet and introduce the two women.

"Nice to meet you." Stephanie greeted Elena with a reserved smile.

"Hello, Mesut, why haven't you introduced Nini to me. Ah, I'm sorry, Nini, I have met all of Mesut's friends, but I have not met you. I am a little curious. But I I think you look familiar, maybe we met on the road." Yi Lianna said this deliberately.

Stephanie glanced at Mesut seemingly unconsciously, with a smile on her face: "Yeah, maybe Mesut doesn't regard me as a friend now, after all, I always bullied him when I was young .”

Shura Field!

Mesut didn't know why he had such a feeling, his intuition told him that for safety's sake, the two women should be separated immediately.

"Elena, Nini hasn't come back for a long time, I have a lot to say to her, you go home first, I will look for you in two days."

"Mesut, we've only been shopping for a while... well, I'm going home." Irina wanted to fight for herself, even if she accompanied Mesut to talk and interact with Miss Nini. Yes, but she could see the persistence in Mesut's eyes.In the end, she could only nod in displeasure, then turned around and left without looking back.In her heart, Elena has decided to reassess the relationship between herself and Mesut to see if they are suitable to continue on.

The same idea also appeared in Mesut's mind. He had dated several girlfriends, but they all separated in the end because they felt that they were not suitable.Now he also feels that there are problems between himself and Irina, and maybe they are not very suitable.

Nini watched Irina leave with a smile, then took off her sunglasses, and looked at Mesut playfully: "Girlfriend?"

The accusation in the eyes of the little friend made Mesut afraid to look into her eyes. Those ice blue eyes were as sharp as ice skates when they were angry. "Sorry, Nini, I forgot to tell you about my girlfriend."

Stephanie still ignored Mesut, since she was a girl with willful power.She is just angry today, just unhappy.

Mesut felt that he was a bit wronged. Although he still felt that it was no big deal that he didn't tell Stephanie that he had a girlfriend, he still tried his best to calm his partner's emotions.

It took a long time for Stephanie to say that her lord was not angry anymore, but—"Mesut, we haven't played together for a long time, come play with me!" She still decided to use the old method to fix Mesut .

"Okay." Mesut spread his hands, his big eyes full of pain, agreed.Was he going to be beaten like he used to be when Stephanie was around?He could almost foresee that his parents would joke with him every day as in the past—"Mesut, did Nini beat you today?"

As for that day, in order to calm Stephanie's anger, how long did Mesut play tennis with her, and what kind of painful experience did Mesut decide to delete the memory of that day from his mind, just Nothing happened that day.

After several days of busy training in the youth academy and playing with Stephanie, the World Cup finally started.

The opening match of the World Cup was the first round of Group A between Germany and Costa Rica in Munich on June 6. On that day, Stephanie went to Munich with Mesut and Neuer. There was a meeting of Thomas' youth academy friends, and everyone met to watch the game together.

Except for Stephanie, everyone else is a player from the youth training camp and has also met in the usual youth league.In addition, there are players like Neuer who have already played the main force in the first team. Everyone gathered together to talk about football and the prospects of the German team in the World Cup. They were very happy.

It feels really good to have such a group of people going to the stadium to watch the game.

Taking advantage of Stephanie being entangled by the talkative Thomas and not knowing what to say, Neuer whispered to Mesut: "I just said, to find a girlfriend, you should find someone who understands football." He glanced at Stephanie pointedly.

A long time ago, Neuer always thought that Stephanie was Mesut's little girlfriend.Later, he saw that after Stephanie went to the United States, Mesut made one girlfriend after another, and thought that the two had broken up because of the distance.Now seeing Stephanie getting along with Mesut as if nothing had happened, and the two getting along so naturally, he was a little confused again. Could it be that he misunderstood something back then?

Mesut didn't understand the meaning of Neuer's words. He nodded and agreed, "You're right." Before the start of the World Cup, he had just broken up with his girlfriend Irina, and he thought that next time he would find Girlfriend must find someone who understands football and can talk to him. Well, it's better to be older, gentler, and not to hit people at every turn.

Under the watchful eyes of Stephanie and Mesut, the German national team made their World Cup debut. They defeated Costa Rica 4-2 and won a good start.

After watching the national team's game, Stephanie and Mesut separated from Thomas, and Neuer planned to act with Thomas, who was able to talk.And Stephanie grabbed Mesut and went to watch the Italian game. During the period, they also went back to Gelsenkirchen to watch the game between Argentina and Serbia and Montenegro.

Yugoslav football used to be very strong, with many famous players. However, because of a war, the original country became several countries, which also reduced their football strength a lot.

So what Stefani and Mesut saw was a one-sided game. At the end of the first half, Argentina led 3-0.

They won the first game of the group stage, and they took a big lead in this game. Argentina played more and more easily. The head coach Pekerman simply sent the newcomers in the team to hone the team.

At 75 minutes, Pekerman replaced defender Rodriguez.

"That player from Mesut is so short, even shorter than you." Stephanie leaned forward and tried to look around.She was looking at the particularly young-looking player who had been brought in by Pekerman. "But his aesthetics are as bad as yours, and his hairstyle is ugly!"

Mesut was also watching this substitution. After listening to Stephanie's words, he rolled his eyes helplessly. Please ask him to be at least 1.7 meters tall, but the Argentine player who just played should not be 1.7 meters tall. Rice!But his hairstyle is not very good-looking, it is really ugly!

Mesut, who has always had no aesthetics, can complain that his hairstyle is not good-looking, that is really not good-looking.But even if someone's hairstyle is not good-looking, there will be many fans in the future, who let his name be Leo Messi!

Stephanie and Mesut did not expect that what they saw was the World Cup debut of a generation of king Messi.Of course, Messi's World Cup debut was much better than the memory left by him for the first time representing the national team. He scored his first World Cup goal before the end.You must know that when Messi played for the national team for the first time in 2005, he was sent off with a red card for elbowing his opponent in just 47 seconds.

"Mesut, that guy plays well. If he hadn't been so short and had such bad taste, I would have liked him."

"Lahm is also short, and you say he is so handsome!" Mesut directly complained about his friend, who called the national team so handsome when watching the World Cup opening game a few days ago.

"Originally, if he is willing to change his hair stylist, I might like him. And Mesut, although you are not tall enough and have bad taste, if you play well, I will also look at my friends Cheering for you and being your loyal fan." Stephanie gave Mesut a white look and said.

Mesut spread his hands, his heart was filled with anxiety, he thought it was necessary for him to find a way to increase his height, so as to save himself from being complained by Stephanie about his height every day.

The two talked and laughed and watched a good game. Although the score was one-sided, Argentina's game was still very exciting, and it deserves to be a traditional strong team in football.

Stephanie and Mesut watched a few group matches of the World Cup, but the group stage was not as intense as the knockout matches, and they could still watch the games with a relaxed mind.

However, after running to Munich to join Thomas and the others and watching a German team's 2-0 victory over Sweden in the quarter-finals, Stephanie watched a game that was enough to make her heart beat faster.

It was the quarter-final match between Italy and Australia in Kaiserslautern.

Stephanie and Mesut arrived in Kaiserslautern, where they joined Isa and Bob.

As an Italian, Isa, in addition to watching the German game with her husband, mainly focuses on the Italian game. In addition, her nephew Totti is also a member of the Italian national team. Isa can be said to be responsible for every move of the national team All paid special attention to.

After Stephanie came to meet them, Isa grabbed Stephanie and went to the Italian national team to visit.This is a benefit only for relatives. Bob and Mesut who were left behind could only get together to chat and stroll around.

Stephanie is still a little nervous, after all, there are many handsome guys she likes in the Italian national team, especially Nesta, who is almost equivalent to her first love.

Although she knew that it was impossible for her to be with Nesta, Stephanie was still shy every time she saw Nesta.

But this time when she saw Nesta, before Stephanie could talk to him shyly, she lost her temper by her bluffing cousin.

"Stinky girl, you've been really famous these two years." Totti touched two handfuls of his little cousin's soft and velvety hair with his big hands. This was a little habit he developed after meeting Stephanie.

Totti is very happy about what Stephanie has achieved in the past two years, but also a little envious.Because compared to the youthful Stephanie, in the eyes of many people, he is already close to the late stage of his career.

"Brother Fran, don't mess with my hair!" Stephanie usually likes to wear a crooked braid, but this time because she wants to meet Nesta and all the handsome guys in Italy, she carefully Changed her hairstyle, and now she was messed up by her cousin.

"Smelly girl, have you forgotten how many times I've been your guinea pig? How heartless!" Totti angrily continued to mess with Stephanie's hair with his big hands. Several times, Stephanie cooked the meal, and then she was brought down by the same result.Until the end, he finally confessed in despair that no matter how beautiful his cousin's cooking was, she would end up eating it as if she had eaten meth. He was lucky not to be poisoned to death.

"Fran, if I have such a cute little sister, I will hide at home and love her well, and I will never bully her!" A playful voice came from behind Totti.

Totti turned his head to look, and muttered angrily: "Can a guy like you have such a cute little sister? Don't they all have a long face like you?"

Stephanie followed the voice and saw a lazy-looking man waving at her: "Hey, lovely Miss Muller, I'm your fan, can you sign me?"

Although the man looks very lazy, Stephanie can occasionally see a bit of sharpness in his eyes. After all, this is Buffon, the last line of defense in Italy!

Buffon took the lead and hooked up with Stephanie first, and then Inzaghi, Cannavaro and others who had been watching for a while also came over.They are still very curious about Miss Muller, a beautiful tennis player who has Italian blood and has become famous in the past two years.

Surrounded by a crowd of handsome guys, Stephanie was almost suffocated with excitement. After all, for a face control nympho, being surrounded by handsome guys is such a great feeling!

"Mesut, I decided that Italy will be my second home team. After all, I have Italian ancestry and nationality! I want to be patriotic!" Stephanie said to Mesut so excitedly when she returned to her residence Said that she was going to climb the wall to support Italy.

Mesut rolled his eyes again, and complained in his heart: "How can you be patriotic? Obviously you love handsome guys!"

Stephanie said so and did the same. When the match between Italy and Australia started, she and Isa were ready to fight, and asked Bob and Mesut not only to be melon eaters, but also to follow They cheer together.

Although Stephanie worked hard to cheer for Italy, the game in Italy was a bit frightening.

Although Australia lags behind Italy in the international rankings, and the team does not have as many well-known stars as Italy, the resilience shown in the game is terrible, and there is a feeling that it will push Italy over a cliff.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Italy's loss of this game is almost like committing suicide by jumping off a cliff. Because of the "Callgate", Italian football has been hit hard. This time it can be said that everyone is under heavy pressure for the World Cup.If the national team is eliminated at this point, after returning to China, some people's fate will undergo important changes.

Fortunately, the Italian coach Lippi made an important substitution. He replaced Del Piero with Totti in the 75th minute. It was this substitution that brought the only goal of the game. .

Seeing that Totti scored the penalty kick at the end of the game, a commentator from the East was so excited that he made a wonderful impromptu commentary.

Although Stephanie didn't hear the commentary, she was also very excited. She jumped up excitedly and hugged Isa who jumped up like a young girl.Then their mother and daughter excitedly hugged the people around them.

What Isa hugged was her husband Bob, which is fine, they are a loving couple, and they often have such intimacy.

But Stephanie has only her good friend Mesut with her, and she also hugs Mesut.

"Mesut, that's great! Italy won! It was Franco's goal!" Stephanie hugged Mesut and shouted excitedly in his ear.

Mesut was a little dizzy, not only because of Stephanie's loud noise in his ears, but also because of the curvaceous body hugging him tightly.

"Stephanie is really a woman!" This was the first thought that flashed in the mind of Mesut, who had been beaten by Stephanie for so many years and almost thought of her as a man.

Of course, the next thing he thought was: "Stephanie, you are so loud!"
