Chapter Twenty-Seven: Trivia After the Race
PS: In the previous chapter, there was a mistake that Lao Lei got two yellow cards. Here we sincerely apologize again!
Materazzi looked at Lao Lei, who was demonstrating against him, and didn't care. If it were in normal times, Materazzi might have responded with a-for-tat response, but he couldn't do it at this time, because he was a complete loser now. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the players on the Portuguese bench rushed into the pitch impatiently, while Oliveira walked to Trapattoni with the composure of the victor and stretched out his right hand.
At this time, Lao Lei had already fallen down, and his Portuguese teammates were on his body, and the top was the old door god Baiya. Kayla, who was in the stands, had passed her momentary excitement at this time, and looked worriedly at Lao Lei, who was crushed by Xiao Roshan. She clearly saw that Lao Lei's wound was bleeding again after the goal, and she was afraid that this pressure would crush Lao Lei. As for Joseph, who had put Miki around his neck and was still celebrating with emotion.
"At the end of the game, Portugal entered the last 8 against Spain's invincible battleship. The best player of the match was undoubtedly Portugal's number 13, the 20-year-old youngster Remaia. I heard that last season was just the first season of his career, and his performance was amazing. An assist, a goal, a curious word, a stunning goal, he overshadowed the brilliance of the superstars in the stadium, and it was his show. With his wonderful performance in the World Cup, I believe that his value is rising at the speed of rockets. Let's look forward to what he will do in the next games. Up to now. He is the most amazing new discovery of this World Cup. The neutral commentator gave a brief summary of the game, and he gave more praise and description to the old Ray who had just stood up.
The Italian players who did their best. Some sat weakly on the court, some stood on their backs in distraction. They are about to say goodbye to this World Cup. Go back and lick your wounds, and then in '06 Germany once again hit their fourth World Cup title, the fourth star on the jersey. At this time, there was no one more lonely than Piero, and that penalty was bound to become another point of criticism for his performance in the national team after the game. After shaking hands with Oliveira, Trapattoni, the veteran coach who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, came to the court, and his disciples needed a little comfort.
Portugal's team-mates are also beginning to console the Italian players, many of whom are close friends or club teammates in private. No matter when it's time to play. There is no room for competition between each other, and after the game everything is business as usual, no one is too obsessed with winning or losing a game, football is just a part of life.
At this time, Lao Lei did not immediately receive treatment and bandaging from the team doctors, and he found Gattuso, who had caused him a lot of trouble in this game. "What do you want to do, stinky boy." Gattuso looked at Lao Lei in front of him and said, with a hint of regret and refusal to admit defeat in his tone. Old Ray didn't speak, but took off his jersey and handed it to Gattuso.
Cato was stunned. I stayed for a few seconds before I reacted, and then stared at Lao Lei for a while, as if to confirm that you are not playing with me, boy. Muttering something in his mouth, he took off his jersey. Swapped with Lao Lei. Lao Lei hung Gattuso's jersey on his shoulder, stepped forward and patted Gattuso on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your guidance." Gnaro. Without waiting for Gattuso to reply, he went to the team doctor to bandage it. Gattuso turned his head to look at Old Ray's back. Confused, he shook his head and walked towards the players' tunnel.
After the bandage. Lao Lei also needs to be interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after the game. After the reporter came up and praised Lao Lei's performance, the first question was what did you say to Piero. Faced with this kind of problem of sprinkling salt on his respected enemies after the game, Lao Lei has always disliked it, and replied casually: "It's nothing, maybe the shoelaces are not tied, I forgot." This answer naturally got the reporter's resentful eyes, Nima forgot, how old you are.
After casually dealing with reporters, Lao Lei returned to the locker room. At this time, in the locker room, it was a mess, singing and dancing, and one by one was still unclothed. It was only at Oliveira's request that the players end their celebrations. At the post-match press conference, Ray did not attend at his own request, Figo and Oliveira went. The elder Lei Zhilu said that if he attended, the question about the penalty would inevitably be asked by reporters. On this question, he did not want to answer and explain too much.
And he has a more important thing to do now, which is to quickly pacify Kayla and Cindia. As soon as he turned on his mobile phone, dozens of text messages from the two of them expressing concern asked him to call them back immediately. Choosing between his girlfriend, his mother and the reporter, Lao Lei of course threw the reporter far away.
At this time, in South Korea's Spanish base camp, Camacho had just turned off the broadcast TV. Today he watched the match between Italy and Portugal with the Spanish players and coaching staff, and after the players left, he discussed with his coaching staff about the quarter-final against Portugal in four days' time. Camacho has not had a good time these days, although he defeated Ireland in the quarter-finals, but Spain did not buy it.
Because Spain only relied on penalty shootouts to eliminate Ireland. And if it weren't for Casillas, a young goalkeeper, who saved a total of 3 penalties from Ireland and became famous, Spain would have gone home. And this game may not even go into extra time, as one of the penalties came in regulation time.
Camacho was to blame for this, playing defensive football too conservatively when he was ahead, and using Luke in order to show his authority over Tristan of Super Laco......... All kinds of low-level performances have made the outside world unoptimistic about the prospects of Camacho's Spain. And when the 90-minute game ended, regardless of the demeanor of the coach of a football powerhouse, rushed to the midfield and scolded the referee, it was widely criticized and blamed for damaging Spain's national image.
And now the Spanish team is also full of bad news, the Bernabeu prince Raul is injured and doubtful, Albelda is sure to say goodbye to this World Cup, and the team's fitness has serious problems. The only good news may be that young goalkeeper Iker Casillas is in great form. At this moment, Camacho is under a lot of pressure, and after watching the Portugal game, after discussing with the coaching staff, Lao Lei's name was circled by him in red.
After returning to the hotel, the Portuguese team members quickly fell asleep with their tired bodies in tow. The 120-minute battle consumed too much of their energy. Just as Ray finished his phone call with Kayla and was about to fall asleep, he received an unexpected phone call, it was Claudia. Since the end of the Hummer commercial, Ray has not been in contact with Claudia. At this time, I suddenly received a call from her, and Claudia's charming figure in red appeared again in Lao Lei's figure that day.
After 40 minutes, Ray hung up Claudia's phone. On the phone, the elder Lei Zhilu said that she specifically asked for her personal phone number from Mendes through her agent. Claudia expressed concern about Lao Lei's injury on the phone, and also conveyed congratulations to Lao Lei. Old Ray was in a state of confusion, chatting with Claudia every word, and she acted like an old friend. After the last moment, Lao Lei finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you think of calling me?" ”
Claudia on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and after chuckling, she said in a sexy voice, "Guess? Then without waiting for Lao Lei to speak, he hung up the phone. These two words made Lao Lei's heart unable to calm down for a long time, and there were some cranky thoughts in his mind, no, no, I have Kayla, I have Kayla. Kayla's name was used by Lao Lei as a heart purification spell, and the effect was not bad, and Lao Lei slowly fell asleep. Every successful man will face a lot of temptations that are difficult to refuse, and everyone will make different choices. And Lao Lei, who has made certain achievements in his career, also has to face some choices that he did not have the opportunity to face in his previous life.
The next day's newspaper gave a detailed report on the game, with 5 goals, equalisers, overtakes, strikes, clashes. This game has the qualification to become a classic, especially Piero's penalty has become the focus of attention of all fans and reporters. It's a pity that both parties are silent about this matter, leaving the outside world to guess for themselves. And due to the problem of the camera angle, Lao Lei's mouth is not clear, and the lip language expert is useless. This matter may become another mystery in the history of the World Cup, unless one of the parties suddenly wants to clarify it one day.
The day after the game, Oliveira was kind enough to give the players a day off, only to ask them to rush back to the hotel by 8 p.m. to report. After this big game, the players need to relax for a while, relieve the pressure, and let them be with their families and girlfriends is a good way.
Lao Lei took advantage of this day to accompany his family. During the period, Cindia's greetings and greetings, Joseph's cheers and encouragement, but Xiao Ji put forward a lot of conditions to Lao Lei on the grounds that she shed precious pearl tears for Lao Lei. Lao Lei said happily that he would obey the orders of the little princess. After dinner with his family, he rushed to Kayla's hotel and had a tryst with Kayla.
During this time, Lao Lei showed more courtesy than before, and Kayla was very sensitive to say that you have done something sorry for me. Lao Lei naturally denied it, and sighed in his heart that a woman's sixth sense is really unusual. In fact, it was because of the phone call with Claudia that Old Ray inexplicably felt that he couldn't stand Kayla, so he was like this. Looking at Kayla's big questioning eyes, Old Ray didn't tell Claudia about it, but turned over and got on the horse, not giving Kayla a chance to speak.
However, the time to relax was always short-lived, and soon Lao Lei was back to his full attention on the next game against Spain. (To be continued......)
