Chapter 16: Bailey's Blessing (continued)
"Damn, this guy, don't you curse us to the end, don't you give up?"
"Everybody knows he's a crow's mouth, and he's still there alone, is he a tease sent by the monkeys?"
"I suddenly had a very bad premonition, and I was praised and favored by the king of the ball one after another, as long as I thought about it, I felt chills!"
"Me too, the blessing of the ball king is really not something that ordinary people can afford! I also watched the match between Brazil and North Korea, and to be honest, I felt very weird after the whole game, and when I came to Africa, Brazil didn't seem to be able to play...... Alas, is this the power of the curse of the Ball King? ”
"Brazil were lucky to win and we ...... Alas, alas, it's really scary! ”
In the hotel where the Spanish team was staying, the players were sitting in a spacious conference room, and they had just finished watching the match between Brazil and North Korea, and they were busy talking.
Spain have been drawn in Group H, which is almost the latest of the eight groups and a day later than Brazil, and their first leg will be tomorrow, the 16th, against Switzerland, also from Europe.
The Swiss team has never been a strong team, not only in the world, but also on the European continent, perhaps the Swiss team has also emerged very good players, and now there are some good players in the squad, but whether it is the number of stars or the overall strength of the team, not to mention that it is on a par with Spain, the king of new Europe, in Europe, it can only belong to the second and third rate teams.
For such an opponent, the Spanish team is undoubtedly full of confidence in victory.
But the blessing of the football king Pele...... This makes many players worry from the bottom of their hearts, although it is said that football is played with both feet, and no one's mouth can play any role in the game, but think about the "glorious history" of the crow's mouth Pele, countless ancestors have proved with blood that Pele's mouth really has the magic of making people collapse.
When Pele was optimistic about the Spanish team for the first time, the whole Spanish team, including head coach Bosque, everyone was in the same panic as Dunga, but Bosque did not respond, he could only treat the opponent's "overtures" coldly, not accepting or refutating.
I can't afford to mess with you, can't I hide and go?
As a result, it didn't work out, in addition to playing the ball well and "predicting" accurately, Pele also had the attributes of kraft candy, and after the Brazilian team won, he was entangled again, and there was a lot of praise and praise.
Nima, you're the king of the ball, you're Brazilian, you're optimistic about your parent team, you want to sing an ode to them, then you can go, don't you bring us with you?
The Brazilian team is lucky, only almost crippled, but we are not in the same national team as you, without that good luck, don't you come to play us?
After Pele's "blessing" climbed up again, Bosque almost jumped to scold his mother. Especially after the other party said the sentence "Congratulations in advance to the Spanish team on winning the victory and winning the three points", Bosque really burst into tears, hero, you really raise your mouth, football is played with both feet, not by your mouth to win. Who knows what the outcome will be, doesn't it mean that anything is possible on the pitch? Don't come to harm us, will you?
You go and scourge Argentina, Argentina is also a strong team, there are many superstars, and they are also old rivals of your old country, Brazil; Or maybe the German team is not bad, haven't you slammed German football in front of the media more than once for being as rigid and stiff as the Germans? Not really, or England, but not once or twice when you criticize their league for being rude or rough......
Of course, resentment is resentment after all, and the "curse" is just talk, and it can't be taken completely seriously, so despite the constant complaints in his heart, the most important thing in Bosque's eyes is to appease and encourage the team.
In fact, there is nothing to say, after coming to South Africa, the training of the Spanish team slowly went on a normal track, from the performance in training, the players' competitive state is very good, and several warm-up games are played, all of them are won, which also gives the team more confidence, competitive state and mentality, the Spanish team is at a very good level.
If it weren't for Pele's blessing, Spain might have greeted their first game of this World Cup in a very high state, and now Pele's blessing may have some impact on the team, but it's not big, it's just a little disgusting.
The players were still talking, some of them even mocking the crow-beaked Pele in a mocking tone, and Bosque had already clapped his hands and motioned for the players to listen to him.
"Well, the first leg of the first seven groups has all ended, some people are happy and some are worried, some strong teams won as they wished, and some strong teams unexpectedly lost three points. In my opinion, this is a normal thing, after all, anything can happen on the football field, and no one knows what the outcome will be until the game is over. ”
'I want us to give it our all, even though the quality of the opposition may be a bit different from us, but I don't want to be part of a team that is disappointed. The game against Switzerland will be our first game in this World Cup and we have to win against them. Win three points! Just like we did two years ago, try to win, beat every opponent and keep winning until the finish line! ”
"So, go all out, I want to see an invincible army of matadors! We've won the European Cup, we've won the Confederations Cup, and now it's our last step to conquer the world! We have to make it happen! ”
……
After leaving the meeting room, the Spanish players looked excited, both because of the encouragement of head coach Bosque and the anticipation of tomorrow's game.
Although many strong teams have been unexpectedly defeated in the games that have ended in this World Cup, the Spanish players are still full of strong confidence in the strength of their team.
The gold content of the European Cup is not lower than that of the World Cup, and even higher in terms of competitive standards. The fact that Spain were able to fight their way out of the European giants and eventually reached the top is enough to prove that they are one of the best and best teams in the world.
This is also where their confidence lies.
When they were in Europe, Switzerland played with them more than once, and in terms of record, the Spanish team completely crushed their opponents, and in such a situation, even with the "blessing of Pele", the players basically did not think about the possible defeat.
Football is round, yes, but it also depends on who is playing on the field, a strong bull and a weak ant, so is it possible for the latter to overturn the bull?
It's almost impossible.
"I can't wait to play right away! Ha, even though I'm a defender, I feel like I'm in really good shape and I want to score if I can! ”
"It doesn't matter if you score or not, as long as I can play, I'm satisfied. Of course, it was best with my help that the team won against Switzerland! Hahaha! ”
"It's a bit of a pride and a bit of a rampant feeling of excitement and joy right now, but I really can't think of a reason why we lost to Switzerland...... Hahaha! ”
The players were all laughing and chatting, and several Real Madrid players, such as Ramos and Albiol, were also joking with each other, looking forward to their heroic performance in tomorrow's game.
Fan Bizhuang just quietly listened to their bragging, and did not participate, Ramos turned around and saw Fan Bizhuang with a calm face, laughed and reached out to his shoulder, and said to his teammates around him angrily: "Hey, hey, hey!" I said you all be a little more restrained, don't be too complacent! Didn't you see our Fan Du already very unhappy? Don't you know that our fan may not have a chance to play tomorrow? Really, I still have no quality, no public morality, I am happy, and I don't take into account the feelings of others, I am really ashamed to be with you......"
The teammates who were laughing were stunned for a moment, and then they all clutched their stomachs and laughed.
Fan Bizhuang reluctantly gave Ramos a roll of his eyes: "It seems that the person who is the most proud and laughs the loudest is you, Sergio?" ”
"Me? Have it? ”
Ramos Tian shamelessly made an innocent face, seeing that his teammates were unceremoniously stretching out their fingers to point at him, he didn't have the slightest sense of cheekiness, looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and then said, "Well, it seems to be really me...... But...... Ha, don't be too sad, although you are sitting on the bench, it is not necessarily that you will not have a chance to play, even if you can't play, it doesn't matter, I will count your share...... How about I help you score a goal? ”
Fan Bizhuang's eyes kept rolling: "Sergio, I have always known that you are very thick-skinned, but I didn't expect that it could be so thick, in terms of shameless and shameless realm, I won't support the wall, just obey you!" ”
Fan Bizhuang's ridicule made a group of teammates laugh non-stop, and the "angry" Ramos roared and played with his teammates.
Fan Bizhuang shook his head helplessly, and Casillas shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands at Fan Bizhuang with a smile on his face, signaling that this group of teases has always been like this.
"Are you ready, Igor? I'm talking about tomorrow's game. ”
Fan Bizhuang said to Casillas with a smile.
"Of course. I'm the same as the big guys, don't look at the moment everyone is laughing and laughing and looking like they don't care, but the truth is that everyone is very interested in tomorrow's game and I believe that in the game, they will give their best in the game. ”
Casillas nodded in reply.
"That's good. But be cautious, I don't think any team that can make it to the World Cup is easy to deal with. Fan Bizhuang said this, smiled again, and joked, "Moreover, isn't there a blessing from a crow's mouth?" Ha, that's a terrifying blessing! ”
"You believe that too? Ha, I don't believe it anyway. Football still has to be on its own. ”
"That's true. I really envy you main players, I really don't know when I will be able to start. ”
"As long as you're doing well in training, trust me, Coach Vincent won't be out of sight."
Casillas chuckled and put his arm around Fan Bizhuang's shoulder, and the two of them chatted as they returned to their respective rooms.
