Chapter 61: The Christmas Dinner
It's a rare Christmas. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Perhaps accustomed to the tense pace of the Premier League, Wan Sheng never planned anything for Christmas, so when the holidays came, he was still a little uncomfortable.
Two days ago, Wan Sheng planned to return to China, anyway, there were ten days off during the winter break, but the news that Anita was coming made him dismiss the idea of going back.
In two years, Anita's father Murdoch has already improved and continues to control News Corp., but I heard that the relationship between Murdoch and Wendi Deng has deteriorated, and the two had a conflict and a small quarrel some time ago, which seems to be not a big deal in ordinary couple time, but it is different for Murdoch - the relationship between him and Wendi Deng is unstable.
The news made Anita happy.
She didn't like that woman, and wished that woman and her father had been separated sooner.
Of course, this has little to do with Anita.
Anita's job at Dow Jones is also very stable, she doesn't have to stay in the United States every day, everything is taken care of by someone else, so she came to Spain for Christmas to spend time with Wan Sheng.
"How long can you stay?" Wansheng asked on the phone.
"Stay until you let me go......"
Wan Sheng was very happy to hear it, he likes to live with Anita very much, after the two got married, they often kept separated, which also made the two even more like glue, and they would feel very happy every time they were together.
Now Wansheng hopes that Anita is the daughter of an ordinary family, so they can be together for a long time, but unfortunately Anita is not, fortunately, Murdoch is in good health and has returned to power, and Anita doesn't have to work so hard.
On Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, Vansheng picked up Anita at Madrid International Airport.
In the airport hall, the two hugged each other.
The temperature in Madrid in winter is not high, Wan Sheng is dressed very tightly, and he also brings a hat and sunglasses, and no one recognizes him along the way, but as soon as the two hug, many people pay attention, and soon someone recognizes him and shouts about birth, "Wan Sheng!" It's Wansheng! β
"Who's that woman?"
"Annie! His wife! I know! β
"Oh my God!"
Soon a crowd of people gathered around, and then the figure of the reporter appeared in the crowd.
Wan Sheng had a wry smile on his face and had a headache, but he could only greet the fans with Anita, who also waved to him and kept shouting, and there were reporters who wanted to come over.
Wan Sheng could only say, "Private time, no interviews, sorry." β
After that, he and Anita signed for an unknown number of fans along the way, and after more than half an hour, the two walked out of the airport and returned to the car with the help of bodyguards.
"Every time." Anita smiled, "You're still as popular as before, it seems that you've done a good job in the past six months." β
Wan Sheng shrugged, "I want to be an ordinary person." β
"It's up to you, my big star."
"Let's go back." Wan Sheng changed the subject and asked, "Are you sure you want to stay until I let you go?" β
Anita looked at Wan Sheng and nodded, "Yes." β
"Then don't go, I think I'll be in Madrid for ten years, or more? Just stay here. β
Anita laughed and threw herself into her arms.
Wan Sheng and Anita went home intimately, and then they were tired in the room until the next morning, and opened their eyes dimly, Wan Sheng thought that today was Christmas, and there were still many things to do, but fortunately, he hired a nanny before, and the dinner materials were ready.
"There's a guest coming today, so get up."
"Who?"
"My players."
"Okay."
Anita got up with sleepy eyes, and it was already noon after getting dressed, so the two of them had a casual bite to eat, held hands and walked down the street together, experiencing Christmas in Madrid.
By 3 p.m., they would come back and wait.
Turn on the TV and tune in to the sports program, which is reporting the halfway summary of La Liga, and the host is commenting on the performance of each team, which is just roughly according to the rankings, Atletico Madrid ranks second in the league, and still gets a lot of praise.
After that, it is to comment on the players, and the best data in the entire La Liga is undoubtedly Messi of Barcelona, Messi scored 17 goals and 10 assists in 14 league games, and he can get a 'double-double' performance before Christmas, so he can get any praise.
This is followed by C-Ronaldo.
Playing in 15 rounds, scoring 17 goals and having 6 assists, C-Ronaldo's performance is undoubtedly very strong, but Spanish National Sports does not seem to be optimistic about C-Ronaldo, the host commented, "Even Real Madrid captain Casillas admits that Messi is the best player today." Because of Casillas's words, C-Ronaldo, who regarded himself as the first, second and third person in the world, also had a lot of emotions. β
"Real Madrid legend Di StΓ©fano sees Cristiano Ronaldo as the number one in the world, but for a ridiculous reason: 'Because Cristiano Ronaldo is from Real Madrid.' Even the clever honorary president of Real Madrid can't find Cristiano Ronaldo better than Messi. Sevilla president Del Nido said something groundbreaking: 'Comparing C-Ronaldo to Messi is blasphemy against Messi. Messi is a superstar among superstars, and Cristiano Ronaldo is just an ordinary good player. ββ
"The stats speak for themselves, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 17 goals in three more penalties than Messi and playing one more game. Assists? It's just 5 of them. β
Seeing this, Wan Sheng shook his head.
"You don't agree?" Anita asked, "It's said you've been complimenting Ronaldo lately, are you planning to bring him to your team?" β
Wan Sheng smiled and said, "That's just to make some trouble for Real Madrid, even if Ronaldo comes to my team, it can't be in the winter, and Real Madrid will definitely not agree." But I think Ronaldo is not worse than Messi, the statistics are worse, but the style of the two is different from the team, Messi is the kind of player who seizes every opportunity to score, while Ronaldo always wants to score classic goals......"
"I think Ronaldo is a bit more capable and he likes to perform more than Messi, young people are like that, it's hard to tell the story with the numbers alone. In comparison, I think Morris is better......"
With Wan Sheng's words, the show also began to comment on Morris.
In the Spanish sports TV review, Morris is third behind Messi and C. Ronaldo, he has 15 appearances, 12 goals and 10 assists, "he is the pillar of Atletico Madrid's midfield, he is 33 years old, but his performance is not inferior to the young ......"
Wan Sheng shook his head when he heard this.
In Wansheng's view, Morris is much more important than Messi and C-Ronaldo, and in terms of individual ability, Morris is indeed inferior to the two, but Morris is the kind of team star, like Rivaldo, who doesn't score many goals, but who dares to say that Rivaldo is not a football master? Morris is a stronger contributor to the team than Rivaldo, he is an absolute core player, and with Morris there is a gap between the team with Morris and the team without Morris, because he can revitalize the whole team's offense by himself.
That's Morris.
"Or should I say that Morris is a true world-class master, he never cares about individual performances, but he still has 12 goals and 10 assists......
Wan Sheng Road.
Anita smiled, a little unimpressed, because her husband was complimenting his players.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
After waiting for a while, I saw Maurice and Ozil walking in laughing, followed by their wife and girlfriend, and the two of them shouted together in the living room, "Boss! β
"Sister-in-law!"
The two were still very polite to Anita, but there was also estrangement in politeness, after all, they were not familiar with Anita, but Wan Sheng corrected, "Just call Anne." β
"Okay, Anne......"
After introducing each other, the women went to the side to chat, and the three of them sat on the sofa, and Morris asked, "Boss, who else?" β
"Gail and Kopelle."
"Kopelle?"
"Kopelle!"
"Will he come?" Ozil wondered.
"I don't know." Wan Sheng shook his head.
ββββ
On Christmas night, Wansheng invited four people to spend with his family, namely Morris, Mesut Ozil, Diamares and Kopelle, Diamares needless to say, Morris and Ozil are both players who have played for Manchester City, and now they are all in Madrid, so it is not bad to have dinner together on Christmas.
Pepe is a little different, he is a Real Madrid player.
Real Madrid had a Christmas dinner, it was at noon, and in the evening the players were with their families, and Wan Sheng sent out an invitation, but he didn't know if Pepe would come.
Several people talked on the couch and waited, and after a while, Diamares arrived with his wife and children.
The year before last, Christine gave birth to a son, his name was Brooke, he was two years old, Wan Sheng had seen him many times, the child was very close to him, he ran to call his uncle when he walked into the room, Wan Sheng picked up Brooke and took a cream cake to him, and the laughter of children made Christmas night seem much more active.
Diamares couldn't help asking, "Wansheng, I see that you like children very much, do you have any plans to have one?" β
Wan Sheng was stunned, looked at Anita, and said, "Maybe?" β
"Maybe?"
"I'm going to talk to Anne, I think soon, right? We are still young......"
"You're almost 33!"
"Well, Gail, I always feel like I'm still young." Wan Sheng smiled, and the others laughed too.
Time passed in laughter, and by seven o'clock in the evening, dinner was on the table, and it was ready to be served.
Wan Sheng kept looking at the door, and finally exhaled a long breath, and said a little disappointed, "It seems that he can't come." β
"After all, he's a Real Madrid player now." Ozil said.
Everyone else nodded.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are mortal enemies, and if Real Madrid's players spend Christmas with the coach of Atletico Madrid, it will definitely be hyped into big news by the media, and Pepe is still very stressful to come to Wansheng's Christmas party.
So they all stood up and prepared to go to Christmas dinner together.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Wan Sheng looked over.
Soon a tall figure walked into the door, it was Pepe, he was wearing a black suit, after walking in, he looked up, grinned at Wan Sheng, and shouted, "Boss! I'm not late, am I? β
Wan Sheng also laughed, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome!" (To be continued.) )
