[Football] Because your eyes are too big

"It's fun, but unfortunately it's too loud. I think if the fans in the stands are blowing this when I'm playing, I'm likely to go crazy." Stephanie fiddled with the purr Zu La said to Lisa.

"I guess Thomas must like it very much. I think he might buy a box back." Lisa's ears have been tossed by vuvuzelas everywhere in South Africa recently, and her nerves have declined.

Stephanie smiled sympathetically: "Trust me, Thomas will definitely do this!"

"Oh, God!" Lisa rubbed her temples with some headaches. It is really a tormenting thing to have a husband who is so funny that she sometimes wants to beat him up.

Stephanie and Lisa seem to be about the same age, but they are a generation behind. They are relatives. Lisa is Thomas' wife, and Stephanie is Thomas' niece.In other words, Stephanie should be called Aunt Lisa, but Lisa thought that would make her old, and she and Stephanie hit it off again and became good friends, so they usually call each other by first name.

At the moment, the two are among the relatives and friends of the German national team, cheering for the national team together in the stands.

The four years have really changed a lot. At least Stephanie feels that her friends who watched the game with her four years ago have disappeared, so she can only watch the game with Lisa.And the reason is that they all ran out on the pitch and participated in this way as part of the World Cup.

Stephanie also joked with Lisa recently that who would have thought that almost all her little friends were selected for the national team.Thomas, Budd, and Neuer, except for Hummels' loss, they all appeared in the World Cup in South Africa.

Of course, what surprised Stephanie the most was Mesut. After the 06 World Cup, Mesut announced that he chose to represent Germany. He started from U19, and then gradually entered the national team. Chance.

In South Africa, Mesut's performance was impressive.

In the World Cup group stage, the German team was in Group D with Ghana, Australia and Serbia.After a 4-0 victory over Australia, they lost to Serbia with another small goal. Therefore, when they faced Ghana, which had a dominant group score in the final round, they could only win but not lose.

In this game, it was Mesut who scored the only goal for the German team.

But although Mesut showed his aggressiveness, what made people even more amazing was his organizational skills.As one media said, Mesut is equivalent to finding a new energy source for the German tank, which can make the tank run faster.

In addition to Mesut, veterans such as Klose and Podolski performed equally well, but the German team in this World Cup, and even all the teams combined, performed the most brilliantly. Thomas.

In the quarter-finals with England, Thomas scored two goals to help the German team beat their old enemy England 4-1.After England, they will face England's arch-rival Argentina today.Although an enemy's enemy is a friend, in this life-and-death knockout match, the German team will naturally go all out to fight Argentina to the death.

"Has Mesut calmed down?" Lisa asked Stephanie.

Stephanie nodded: "It's much better. When I talked with him on the phone, his voice sounded a lot calmer. But he is also very sullen sometimes, and he will keep some things in his heart. Wait After this game is over, I will go meet him and talk about it."

Lisa’s calmness refers to the news from Turkey the day before the game against England that Mesut’s grandmother, who had been living in Turkey, passed away. of the game.

Lisa was a little surprised by Stephanie's answer. She felt that Mesut, who was able to sing songs with singers before the World Cup and had a high-profile private life, didn't look like a sullen person.But she thinks that Stephanie is Mesut's childhood sweetheart, and maybe she has an incomparable advantage in understanding Mesut.

While talking in a low voice, the two ladies leisurely looked at the players who were still warming up on the court, but they were also the scenery in the eyes of others.

The game has not yet started, and all the TV stations have already connected to the signal. In order to prevent the audience from tuning the channel, they have to use some gossip to attract the audience.

For example, looking for celebrities watching football in the stands, like a Hollywood movie star who has never won a movie star but is getting fatter, or like a prince from a certain country who follows the national tradition and is gradually balding, or like the national team. Stars from the ancient oriental country who did not qualify for the World Cup but flocked here.

Of course, the family seats of the protagonists of this game, Germany and Argentina, are also the focus of the camera.

Because Argentina's football king Maradona took charge of the World Cup, he did not appear in the stands like in previous competitions, but the Maradona element is still indispensable in the stands of Argentina.His grandson, the youngest son of Argentine star Sergio Aguero, appeared in the stands. The cute face of the child attracted many people's attention.

The cute baby in the Argentine stands is in charge, and the German team is not inferior.Argentina has Maradona, and Germany has Beckenbauer. At this time, the football emperor will naturally show up to cheer for his country's team.

In addition to celebrities like Beckenbauer, the German team's wives also made the cameras linger.Although not as competitive as the English wags, the German wags also have places to keep the audience's attention.And in the wives group, it's not just the wives of the stars.

"God! I seem to see the beautiful German tennis player Stephanie Müller in the wives of the German team. She is talking to Thomas Müller's wife Lisa. It seems that Miss Müller looks very good, completely Not affected by the loss of the French Open final." The host's voice was a little surprised, but also a little surprised, after all, the German wives are not as well-known as other countries, and it is difficult to get any breaking news among them.

"Miss Muller was seen dating and having dinner with a young Wall Street talent in the United States before the French Open. Could it be that it was just a gossip? In fact, she has been secretly dating a star of the German team, so today Appearing in the wives?" Today's special hostess also sang with him very interestingly.

"It's also possible that Ms. Muller is wearing the jersey of the German team. We only need to see her jersey number clearly!" said the male host.

Because of the host's words, the camera focused on Stephanie, and the audience in front of the TV looked at her curiously, hoping that she would turn around early so that everyone could see her jersey number clearly.

Stephanie was very face-saving, and soon she made everyone see her jersey number by turning to talk to people in the back row.

"Number [-]? The number [-] of the German team? Mesut Ozil?" The host raised his voice a bit. As an absolute straight man, he doesn't like to comment on the appearance of the same sex, but in his opinion, that Ozil Er looks really awkward!

How could a person with such a face be the dating partner of the beautiful Miss Muller?You know, since Ms. Muller entered the professional tennis world, she has always been rated as the most beautiful tennis player, and even in the past two years, she has been ranked at the forefront of the beauty rankings of cultural and sports stars in various countries.

"Actually, Ozil looks...uh, quite cute." The hostess commented on Mesut's appearance from a woman's point of view.

Her words resonated with some female viewers in front of the TV, as well as the resentment of some male viewers.They couldn't figure it out, that Özil's eyes were as big as a goldfish's, why would the women keep shouting how cute, so cute after seeing him?

But then the host mentioned another possibility: "I heard that Ozil has a good relationship with Thomas Muller, Thomas Muller, Stephanie Muller, they are both named Muller, maybe they have some relatives Relationship. Why don’t you see how Miss Muller talked to Mrs. Muller so speculatively? Well, it must be like this, because Ozil has a good relationship with Muller who plays football, so Muller is from the perspective of a friend , let my relative Miss Muller wear the jersey of a friend who has no one to love, well, it must be like this!"

The male host's words resonated with many male viewers. It was difficult for them to accept that their goddess would have anything to do with a guy who was much uglier than them.It must be Thomas Muller's [-], out of consideration for the love of his teammates, to help the poor and help the poor to find foreign aid for the ugly.

Fortunately, Stephanie didn't hear the host's words, otherwise she would have said to the other party: "You think too much, I just lost a bet with Mesut, so I wear his jersey."

Just like the joke four years ago, Stephanie originally planned to wear her cousin's jersey. As a result, she made a bet with Mesut before the start of the World Cup and lost.Willing to admit defeat, she could only put on Mesut's jersey with the corner of her mouth slightly smug under the watchful eyes of her cousin's tearful expression.

Stephanie has performed very well in the past four years. She has won many championships in various competitions, including the four Grand Slams, except for the French Open.In addition to individual awards, she also represented the German team in the Confederations Cup and the Olympics, and achieved good results.Now she is already the top card in German tennis, because she is Graf's disciple, she is called the princess of German tennis.

It is also because of this that Stephanie's every move is often reported by the media, and her gestures have attracted the attention of many people.

Before the World Cup in South Africa, Stephanie had just participated in the French Open.I don't know why, but her record at the French Open is always unsatisfactory.After winning several other Grand Slam championships, she was always unable to win the French Open and achieve a tennis Grand Slam.This time, in the eyes of everyone's expectations, she finally reached the final of the French Open, but unfortunately she could only be the runner-up in the end.

Although she still couldn't win the French Open championship, she was somewhat frustrated, but with the start of the World Cup, her mood improved a lot.After coming to South Africa, I devoted myself to watching the football and cheering for the team.However, it is a pity that Italy, another team she supports, performed very poorly, and did not even qualify for the group stage. This made Stephanie only focus on the German team.This does not follow the start of the game, she is just like other German fans, cheering for Germany with all her strength, regardless of her so-called celebrity status.

The winner of this game between Germany and Argentina will enter the semi-finals. Both teams are very concerned about it. They are both traditional strong teams and both aim to be champions.

Coincidentally, the last time the two teams met was in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. It was the World Cup in Germany in 06. Germany defeated Argentina through penalty kicks.

This time the Argentines absolutely do not want to repeat the mistakes of 06. Maradona, who was the most eye-catching head coach of this World Cup before the game, threatened to beat Germany. The victory belongs to Argentina, and the championship also belongs to Argentina.

The German coach Loew, who is not as well-known as Maradona, but also very eye-catching, did not shout slogans like Maradona, and behaved very low-key.

But when the game started, the Germans were not low-key at all.

In the opening 3 minutes, Schweinsteiger moved the ball from the right to the left. Podolski on the left received the ball and was tripped by Argentine defender Otamendi when passing. The referee whistled a penalty.

Schweinsteiger took the free-kick and Thomas headed home from the front of the box ahead of the Argentine defender.The ball hit the goal after touching the calf of Argentine goalkeeper Romero.

1-0, the German team leads, and Thomas scored this goal is also the fastest goal in this World Cup.

"Al! Thomas-Müller!!!" The narrator of the German TV station shouted Thomas' name excitedly.

Thomas himself was also very happy, he celebrated his goal excitedly.

In the stands, Lisa and the excited Stephanie also hugged and celebrated.Thomas was someone they cared about and they were all happy for him to score.

Thomas' national team teammates were also very happy. They came over to rub Thomas' hair, hugged him and congratulated him on his goal.

Mesut also came to congratulate Thomas, but he was choked by Thomas.

"Hey, Mesut, I scored a goal, I scored a goal! Nini and Lisa must be happy to celebrate me in the stands! Looking back, Nini will be depressed for not wearing my jersey and cheering for me!" Thomas's memory is occasionally very good. For example, the little niece promised to wear his jersey, but was tricked by Mesut into wearing his jersey.

"Don't worry, I won't make Nini regret wearing my jersey!" Mesut unceremoniously rolled his eyes at Thomas, and the eyes happened to be caught by the camera, which became one of the tidbits after the game , was named "The Contempt of the Fish Star People".

Stephanie didn't know that she was being used by Thomas as a prop to stimulate Mesut's outburst. She looked at it differently from the stands.After the re-kick-off, Mesut was particularly aggressive.

Original position determines that Mesut should belong to the attacking player in the frontcourt, but he doesn't seem to like physical confrontation very much, and he also likes to hide his achievements and fame. He usually focuses more on assists and gives all the credit to others. Only once in a while.

But Stephanie found that Mesut seemed to want to score a goal today, so he just strolled around the penalty area of ​​Argentina. His big eyes seemed to be weighing Argentina's defense line, making the Argentine defenders feel free In danger, he finally couldn't help but put Mesut down directly.

Despite being fouled, Mesut kept looking for opportunities.Finally, he found his chance, and at the end of the first half, he got the ball and shot from 25 meters in front of the goal.Maybe it's because his eyes are big enough to have a wide field of vision. His long-range shot just avoided the Argentine players.

2-0!

Mesut excitedly waved his arms towards the sky, and he also waved to Stephanie's stand where she was.

When Thomas came to celebrate with him, Mesut said to him: "Nini will definitely not regret wearing my jersey!"

Thomas glanced at him inexplicably, he had already forgotten what he said to stimulate Mesut when he scored a goal.Anyway, as a chatterbox, he said so many things all day long, how could he remember every word?

After Mesut scored the goal, the camera pointed at the stand where Stephanie was. Sure enough, everyone saw Stephanie waving excitedly through the camera. It is obvious that the tennis princess is really happy about this goal .

The German team scored two goals in the first half, which put Argentina in a passive position. Their coach Maradona kept yelling something on the sidelines.Fortunately, the first half of the game ended shortly after Mesut's goal. During the intermission, Maradona had enough time to adjust.

At the beginning of the second half, Argentina launched a counterattack. Di Maria, Carlos Tevez and others kicked in one after another, but none of them threatened Argentina's goal.

"Isn't Messi the leader of Argentina? And Messi is a striker, right?" Stephanie looked at Higuain who had just completed a shot with some doubts. "Could it be that he is a selfless leader who is dedicated to helping his teammates score goals?" ?” She looked at Lisa suspiciously.

Lisa didn't know how to answer Stephanie's question, "Probably so."

Stephanie's doubts are actually the epitome of Messi's World Cup. Coach Maradona appreciates Messi very much, and the Argentine people also place high hopes on him, but his performance is not satisfactory.If it weren't for the red card and injured Kaka, and Ronaldo who was eliminated in the quarterfinals, he would probably become the most disappointing leader in this World Cup.

Messi seems to have been making adjustments, trying to make himself as good as possible.

Not long after Stephanie finished speaking, he made the ball in front of the penalty area and gave the ball to Higuain, who shot from the left wing, causing Neuer to drop it.Fortunately, after Neuer let go, he still tried to hold the ball.Let the German fans have a false alarm.

It may be the adjustment made by Maradona in the midfield stage. Since the beginning of the second half, Argentina's offensive has been fierce.

However, with the goal of the German team Klose, Argentina's offensive was contained.

3-0 Even Argentina is not so easy to overturn. What makes it worse is that Friedrich received a pass from Podolski and scored a goal, 4-0!

With four goals and more than ten minutes left before the end of the game, it is obvious that Argentina will not be able to restore the decline even if Maradona goes into battle in person, which means that their World Cup trip is over.Confusion appeared on the faces of many Argentine players. Are they going home now?

At this time, Messi still does not want to give up.He always felt very lonely in the Argentine team, not only in the usual relationship, but also on the court.He actually wanted to go back to Barcelona, ​​but he didn't want to just go back.

So when other Argentine players have given up, Messi is still obsessed with attacking alone, hoping to break through Neuer's ten fingers, but he can only accept a 5-0 fiasco in disappointment.

The traditional strong team Argentina fell to the feet of another strong team Germany, and Germany was able to successfully enter the semi-finals of two consecutive World Cups.The German team that won this game is regarded as the favorite to win this World Cup.

Also after this match, the two men in two different places contentedly put away the notebooks in which they recorded a lot of things.

"I think we can make an offer to Werder Bremen, maybe this Ozil can replace Cesc Fabregas who wants to leave the team." The older man called the club staff to discuss the possibility of this transfer sex.

"I want him!" Another younger man decisively gave instructions to the person in charge of the club's transfer.This is an order, he will not allow others to refuse, because he is the most special one.

Similarly, there are some big and small clubs who have become interested in Mesut because of the World Cup.As we all know, German players are not expensive, and they are very disciplined and obedient. Apart from being more family-loving and dislike playing abroad, they are indeed a good choice to supplement the team.

It can be predicted that after the World Cup, Mesut will receive many invitations from various league clubs, but at the moment he does not have so much energy to care about his future, because he has to prepare for the semi-finals with all his strength.

Of course, it is a combination of work and rest. With the usual habits of the German team, they will not engage in closed training, but will encourage players to go out and relax.

The opponent of the German team in the semi-finals has been determined, which is Spain. Their game will be held in Durban, and the German team's pre-match preparations will also be carried out in Durban.Mesut and Thomas went out to join Stephanie and Lisa, and everyone planned to hang around.

Durban is a port city with beautiful beaches, and everyone finally decided to go to the beach.

At the beach, Stephanie and Lisa showed off their curvaceous bodies in stunning swimsuits.On the other hand, Thomas and Mesut put on floral shirts and sunglasses, not much different from the tourists on the beach. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice that these two are the two stars of the German team.

Stephanie and Lisa were talking in low tones as they planned to visit Durban's famous flea market tomorrow.Mesut and Thomas are also chatting, and the most they talk about is football.

"Mesut, Kegel said he received a lot of offers about me." Thomas threw the lemon decorated on the drink glass into his mouth, and then he was grinned sourly.

Mesut shifted his eyes from the beauties in swimsuits coming and going to Thomas, his contemptuous eyes could not be covered even by sunglasses. "That is inevitable. You have scored 5 goals, and the top three scorers are almost guaranteed. It's hot!" His last sentence was extremely yin and yang.

"Tch, it's not the same for you. Kegel said that your value has risen a lot. He still regrets not signing you, and let Fazeli take advantage of it." Thomas immediately retorted.

Mesut lowered his head and took a sip of his drink, smiled lightly and did not speak.In fact, he has indeed felt the power of becoming famous in the World Cup. His agent Fazeli told him two days ago that he had received a lot of offers, and he just waited for the end of the World Cup to have a good talk with him.

Regarding his future, Mesut has already planned. He is currently playing for the Bundesliga team Werder Bremen, but he is sure that this is not his place to stay for a long time.A team that won the German Cup can be excited for a long time. Mesut feels that his future will not belong to such a team.Now, taking advantage of the popularity of the World Cup, it is a good opportunity to choose an ambitious and capable team.

"Okay, you guys came out to relax, and it's not for you to change the occasion to continue discussing football. Let's go play in the water." The topic between Lisa and Stephanie came to an end, and she turned her head and said to her husband.

"Okay!" Thomas immediately patted his butt and stood up, "Let's go, Mesut." He didn't have much interest in how his worth rose, and anyway, he didn't plan to play for a team other than Bayern.

Mesut also stood up, and Lisa and Stephanie had already run to the beach arm in arm.

Because both Thomas and Mesut still had competitions, they came to the beach and only played in the water. As for diving, skateboarding and other sports that may cause injuries, they were not allowed to play at all.

But even so, standing on the vast sea can make people feel happy and relaxed.Thomas excitedly opened his arms and yelled loudly into the depths of the sea. Lisa also got excited and yelled with him.

Mesut thought that the two were almost childish, no wonder they became husband and wife.

Stephanie is picking up rocks by the sea like a child. She just picked up a nice rock and is planning to share it with others.Thomas and Lisa were busy shouting, and she offered the treasure to Mesut first.

"Mesut, do you think the pattern on this stone looks like the Hercules Cup? Ah!" Before Stephanie finished speaking, she was horrified to find that Mesut was falling over her.

When Mesut fell to Stephanie, he was still trying to control his body so that he could stand still. He also cursed in his heart. He was often knocked down on the court, so how could he be so easily knocked down on the beach? Collide.

Because Stephanie was standing very close to Mesut, and she was excitedly saying something at the time, so she didn't have time to dodge it. She only stretched out her hand subconsciously to block Mesut when he turned upside down, but unfortunately she failed to block it. .

"God!" Lisa was startled.

Thomas whistled with great interest: "Wow!" His niece actually kissed Mesut.

Compared to the Muller couple who were watching the excitement, Miss Muller, who was the party involved, was very angry: "Mesut, you idiot!" She touched her lower lip with her hand as she spoke.

Mesut touched his lower lip silently and did not speak. No matter how he did it, he was a little bit wrong. As a player, he did not avoid the collision of others behind him.But Stephanie's lips were really fragrant and soft, much better than those of his girlfriends.

But Mesut didn't have time to savor the taste of his little friend's lips, because Stephanie was shaking his fist aggressively at him. "Mesut, it seems like I haven't beaten you for a long time!" The pretty chick rushed towards him sullenly.

Mesut has grown up, and he will never wait to be beaten in place as he was a child.As soon as he saw Stephanie rushing, he turned and ran.

Seeing him running, Stephanie immediately accelerated to chase him.The two started running on the beach one after the other.

"Come on, Mesut! Don't let the fierce Nini catch up!" Thomas cheered for him with love from his teammates.

Lisa stood by Stephanie's side: "Come on Nini, we must catch up with Mesut!"

Young men and women kept running on the beach, and from time to time a girl's delicate voice came: "Mesut, stop!"

After the two ran for a long time, Mesut finally collapsed on the beach from exhaustion.When Stephanie saw him fall, she couldn't help herself and fell beside him, panting.In fact, she was not very angry. It was Mesut who accidentally kissed her just now, and she didn't do anything on purpose.She was just making use of the problem, trying to bully Mesut.Now that the amount of exercise is large enough, she simply accepts it as soon as she sees it.

It took a while for the two to catch their breath. The two of them lay next to each other on the beach, looking up at the sky.

"Hello, Mesut?"

"what?"

"Come on in the semi-finals! If you lose, I will beat you up! You must bring back a Hercules Cup to our country!"

"must!"
