Ramos really didn't expect his London and Milan events to get out so quickly, and if it weren't for the flight delay due to snow, he would have been able to make it to the next day's training session.

But now, he can hear that Yang Cheng is not going to give up!

After returning to Madrid, Ramos made a phone call to Raul, the captain of the team, but was accused by Raul of being too willful and bold to do such a thing at such a time.

Ramos didn't want to hear that, so he hung up Raul and he felt like he was right!

If there is a fault, it must be Yang Cheng's fault, it is this damn head coach who stubbornly excluded him from the squad, making him sit in the stands again and again, watching his teammates fight.

There is a mistake, and he is the first to make a mistake, I just refuse to give in and resist!

That's what Ramos thinks, and it's very much in line with his age, 20 years old.

Almost everyone will experience such a time, lack of calmness and reason, will not think and analyze after making mistakes, and lack the courage and consciousness to take responsibility, so they will think about passing the buck to others, and when they grow up and mature in the future, in retrospect, they will laugh and scold themselves in their hearts, what a fucked youth!

On this trip to Milan and London, Ramos actually just had a meal with Galliani and Kenyon, a very simple meal, without any in-depth conversation, and he didn't give any promises, and the same goes for the other side, just a meal.

He really didn't expect to be photographed by reporters. I also made it to the next day's newspaper, which was really unlucky!

In Europe, every time a player renews his contract or has a conflict with the manager, he usually creates some scandals, which is actually a common thing, but Ramos obviously hit the musket head this time and met Yang Cheng, who was in a bad mood, which made things worse.

"Sergio. Now what? Rene asked, a little worried.

Ramos, on the contrary, was more courageous and decisive than his brother in this situation, and smiled indifferently, "What to do when the time comes, do it!" I don't think I'd die without him! ”

There are a lot of teams out there who are interested in him, and if he doesn't play at Real Madrid, he goes to other teams.

Rene looked at his brother and had something to say. But in the end, he held back, because he knew that his younger brother was stubborn, and there were almost no people who could move him, even their parents couldn't do anything about him.

Just now, his father called Rene to inquire about the incident and asked Rene to convince Ramos to stay at Real Madrid. Because it's already the best team in the world. Yang Cheng is the best head coach in the world, where to go if he doesn't play here?

Their family knows Ramos's stinky temper very well, at least his parents have raised him for so many years, and they know better than anyone what is going on, so they can also understand Yang Cheng's thoughts and thoughts, and they all feel that they should stay in Real Madrid and let Yang Cheng adjust it. Grinding away the sharpness and corners that are not deeply involved in the world will give Ramos a more ambitious future.

Always living with edges and corners, it is like a hedgehog, which makes people afraid to approach and makes themselves lonely.

"Let's go, let's go eat!" Ramos said with a smile.

But at this moment, his mobile phone rang.

Ramos looked at the caller number. His mood suddenly became excited, and he looked even happier than receiving a call from his mother, and as soon as he answered, he shouted with a smile: "Uncle Melche, why do you have time to call me?" ”

It's not just him. Even Rene laughed when he heard Ramos's name. ...Jose? Melche. Spain's best flamenco singer is the idol of almost all the young people in the Andalusian region of Spain, and countless teenagers living in the Andalusian region have listened to José since childhood? Melche grew up singing and is known as the soul of the flamenco world.

Ramos was born in Seville, and with Jose? Melche's hometown of Jerez belongs to the Andalusian region, and Ramos' family is José? A big fan of Melche, Ramos's admiration of him is a bit like Yang Lijuan's admiration of Andy, and Jose? In addition to being the soul superstar of the flamenco world, Mel is also the most loyal fan of Real Madrid.

There's one thing that many people don't know from the outside world, Jose? Melche was also a good friend of Florentino, and it was he who recommended Ramos to Florentino, which led to Florentino's decision to spend a lot of money to sign the young Ramos. "Interested in coming to see me perform?" Melche on the other end of the phone smiled.

Ramos immediately nodded, "Where?" ”

"Old place, after half past eleven tonight!" Melche said.

Ramos frowned, "I've got to train tomorrow, Uncle Melche!" ”

"Don't think I don't know what you've been up to lately, boy, remember to be on time!" Melche said lightly, "By the way, call your brother too, I haven't seen him for a long time!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Ramos looked at his phone in a bit of a panic, he always felt that at this time, Melche called him definitely not just to invite him to see flamenco.

To be honest, Ramos is more nervous about Melche than when he faced his parents, not only because the latter is an idol he has admired since he was a baby, but also because he has always been a benchmark for Ramos to behave and do things, and he once said that he hopes to become the Jose of Real Madrid one day? Melche, which shows Melche's status in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Rene asked.

Ramos waved his phone and smiled wryly, "Uncle Melche invited us to see flamenco tonight!" ”

…………

…………

Everyone knows that there is only one place to see the most authentic flamenco in Madrid, and the Caral restaurant near the Royal Palace of Madrid, a restaurant about 6 kilometers southwest of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

This restaurant is very famous in the local area. But if outsiders don't know, even if they walk over from this side and see this three-story storefront and the frighteningly narrow door, it's hard to believe that this place once hosted the King of Spain and Nicole? Kidman, boxing champion Ali and other famous celebrities.

Almost every evening, the restaurant starts at half past 21 and puts on flamenco on time, twice a day. At 11:30 p.m., the second finale is usually more exciting than the first, such as some of Spain's most famous flamenco dancers and singers.

Dining packages start at 70 euros, or 40 euros if you just order a drink, which is expensive, but it can't be helped, it's always full. Everyone is rushing to get their seats, usually two or three days in advance, and if the top flamenco artists come here to perform, the tickets are even more panicked.

Ramos drove to Carral's restaurant with Rene, and the waiter had been notified before, and immediately took the Ramos brothers to the front row of the seats that Melche had specially left for them. And I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional. Florentino sat at the table next to them.

This made Ramos a little nervous, and he was worried that the Real Madrid president would come over and say something, but in fact, he was overwhelmed. ..., the 11:30 show is not actually Jose yet? In the eyes of a top singer like Melche, a figure of his level usually waits until all the performances are over, and then Shi Shiran will go on stage for a solo performance.

At first it was just a quiet hum, no applause. There was no movement, all the guests were quiet, listening very carefully and devotedly, as if they were silently admiring a beautiful work of art in an art museum.

The three souls of flamenco, deep song, guitar and dance.

As the man's singing voice became high and low, a crying guitar sound began to be heard faintly. Everyone in Melche knows it. This is guitarist Moraïdo? Chico, they have cooperated for many years, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other, and everyone on the scene listened to it fascinated.

Only those who appreciate flamenco can hear how wonderful their cooperation is.

It's weird. Ramos, as a young man, was full of interest and hobbies in this art. He sat in his seat, listened silently, and listened to the whole performance very patiently, and was a little unsatisfied.

Someone once described that Moraidó? Chico's guitar sounds like crying, and José? Melche's singing was like the sound of a broken wine glass, strong, rough, hoarse, but at the same time so fragile that it was regrettable.

The cooperation between the two makes people feel as if they hear a hero pouring out his pain and sorrow.

But when this person appears in front of you, you will find that he is not the handsome and dashing swordsman-like tragic hero that you imagine in your mind when you hear the song...... All of this adds up to give you the feeling that he is different from others. Perhaps, this is the so-called artistic atmosphere.

"Deep singing is an art...... "José? Melche's real voice is also very good, as if he is still immersed in the atmosphere of the performance on stage just now, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and his hands in front of him seem to be directing the notes, "When you sing, you feel a breath about to erupt from your heart." ”

"But you can't let it get out of your control, you have to desperately suppress it, control it, and let it transform into what you want, the tone and frustration, those beautiful songs!"

Jose? Melche's words came out of nowhere, but the Ramos brothers, who were sitting across from him, understood it, because they were meeting José for the first time. Melche was also in such a restaurant, and they talked for a long time that day, and then they were taken by Jose? Melche's self-cultivation was deeply affected.

At that time, he also said the same thing to Ramos, but added later, "Shen Ge is the same as being a man!" ”

Tonight, he didn't say that.

But sometimes, if you don't say it, it's easier to remember.

Ramos suddenly remembered something he had heard and forgotten, and that was after he was sent off with a red card, and it was also in this restaurant. Melche told him a word.

"The deepest attainment of Shen Ge is the control of qi, and the deepest cultivation of being a person is also the control of qi!"

The time when I first met. Jose? Melche praised Ramos for his potential to sing deep songs almost every time they met, thinking that if he didn't go to football, he could come and sing along with him, but this sentence has not been heard from him for a long time, and Ramos himself has forgotten it.

Looking back now, he's forgotten when it started. "Moraido's guitar is still so touching, he can quickly get into his mood every time, and match your singing." Simply a flawless work of art! Florentino said with a smile on the side.

Jose? Melche smiled, "Without him, I would be just a deep singer, without me, he would be a guitarist, but when the two of us are combined, we become flamenco, we become an art." A wonderful art. ”

No one spoke, because they all felt that the deep song artist was immersed in his own thoughts, as he often did.

"By the way, Sergio, are you going to see a bullfight tomorrow?" He suddenly looked over and asked with a smile.

Ramos looked at Florentino. Shook his head. "No, I have to train tomorrow."

"It's past 3 o'clock in the morning, if I'm not mistaken, the rule of the Real Madrid manager is that you are not allowed to appear in nightclubs and other places during the league period, too late, are you not within the rules?"

By Jose? When Melche suddenly asked, Ramoston panicked and looked at Florentino. The latter always smiled and snorted, "I'm old, go back and rest first!" ”

I saw him stand up, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he left with the driver and bodyguards.

"Now that the ban has been broken, you might as well break it again. Accompany me to see a bullfight! ”

Without waiting for Ramos to say yes or no, José? Melche closed her eyes again, and her hands danced in front of her as if she were performing a bullfight.

"You know, the best thing about bullfighting isn't killing it. Rather, it is the dancing of the matador and the bull, controlling the distance. Controlling the situation requires a great deal of skill, patience and intelligence. ”

"I remember, Hemingway said that life is like bullfighting, either you defeat the bull, or the cow picks you to death!"

"Those wise matadors will always have the last laugh, and those poor people who lack patience and can't control the situation will die tragically under the horns, and despite their courage and fighting spirit, they will never be the best bullfighters, which is cruel, but fair!"

Ramos listened silently, he was thinking about Jose? Melche's words.

From flamenco to bullfighting, he speaks of the two great powers of Spain, which Ramos is very familiar with and knows very well, José? There are some things hidden in Melche's words.

Whether it is singing or bullfighting, it is useless to have talent, courage and fighting spirit, you will never be able to become the top singer and bullfighter, you must still have the ability to control the breath of the heart; You must also make yourself more patient and wiser, first grinding off the strength of the bull, and then slowly cleaning it up. "I once had a fan who was a bullfighter, he was fearless and full of courage, but he always had only strength, not beauty, so he was destined to be a very ordinary bullfighter forever, and even very unfortunately, because of an accident, he died tragically on the head of a 500-kilogram bull."

Jose? Melche looked at Ramos with an elegant smile and pointed to his throat, "The horns of the bull came from here, pierced into his jaw, peeked out of his mouth, pulled him, ran all over the place, and then was picked up like a rag doll. ”

Saying such a bloody accident from the mouth of such an elegant person, somehow, both Ramos brothers had a creepy feeling.

"When I saw his tragic death, I was heartbroken, I wanted to cry, not only because of his misfortune, but also because, until the moment he died, he realized that his efforts in the past ten years were meaningless, from Jerez to Sevilla to Barcelona to Madrid, he has been to so many places, trying to prove that he can succeed again and again, but even at the moment of death, he is still just an ordinary matador, because he went in the wrong direction from the beginning." …,

After all that is said, José? Melche stood up and said goodbye to them gracefully, but before leaving, he suddenly stopped and turned around, "Sergio, I think you're getting more and more unfit to sing now!" ”

Ramos was stunned, looked up in surprise, and saw Jose? Melche gracefully turned away, leaving his wide-eyed eyes at Melche's back in a daze.

He remembered that when he first met Melche, he told Ramos that he had introduced him to Florentino, and that Ramos did not know that he would join the Bernabeu the following year, but that Melche had spoken to him at the time.

'In Sevilla they can give you strength, but at Real Madrid they can make you feel beautiful!'

There is only strength, and that is recklessness; There is only beauty, and that is a fragile goblet; Ramos heard Jose at the time? Melche meant, he wants Ramos to combine the strength of Sevilla with the beauty of Real Madrid, so that he will be like a matador, like a deep singer, into a work of art.

Ramos is like Jose now? The matador in Melche's mouth is full of strength and fighting spirit, but lacks beauty, if he doesn't find the right direction and continues like this, he will be like that matador at most, from Real Madrid to AC Milan or Chelsea, to other teams, and finally to the moment of retirement, he will suddenly realize when he looks back on himself.

Once again, he remembered that when he signed his name on a contract at half past 11, just 30 minutes before the transfer market closed, his parents, all his relatives and friends were crazy with joy, they called, texted, and flooded over him to congratulate him, feeling that he had made the right decision in his life.

That's the right direction, from Seville to Real Madrid, very right, incredibly wise!

Now, stay, or go?

Undoubtedly, this will determine the rest of his life!

From Jose? In Melche's words, he could hear that the superstar, who was regarded by Ramos as his godfather of art, wanted him to stay, because Melche agreed with Yang Cheng very much, at least when Yang Cheng decided to take charge of Real Madrid, Melche was the most excited one, so the intention of his words did not need to be doubted.

More than a year ago, Ramos listened to Melche's proposal and came to Madrid from Sevilla, which made him a big leap from a well-known rookie in China to a stalwart of Real Madrid's defense, and a European and even world-class player!

Now, will his advice still work as well as it did more than a year ago? (To be continued.) )
