Chapter 353 Old John Became a Gentleman Again
After the game, Beckham has been feeling dizzy.

Ever since scoring that penalty, he has been feeling a little drunk.

"David, that penalty kick was too exciting!"

Keegan, who only reached the bridge of Beckham's nose, gave him a hug. The other party seemed to want to wrap his arms around his shoulders and say something affectionate, but due to the height difference, he could only pat him on the back.

This scene reminded Beckham of Ferguson's proud look when he talked about the former Newcastle coach: "Kevin actually has something, but there are some things I can do that he can't."

That's right, just like today, what the old man did while standing, Keegan had to jump to do it.

Beckham turned around and saw that Adams was comforting Bergkamp, ​​and Seaman patted Van der Sar's shoulder, probably saying some comforting words.

It's really hard to say if you can comfort people
Hiddink spoke to Hoddle and Keegan one after the other, patted Beckham on the shoulder and said, "Today belongs to you."

It took almost 20 minutes for the Dutch players to recover from the nightmare pain and walk back to the dressing room in twos and threes.

At this time, various media tried to enter the stadium, but they were all stopped in the stands by security personnel.

At this moment, Neil came over and said, "David, I know it might be too much to say that. Sky TV wants to interview you. I can guarantee that the time will not be too long, and they will never make things difficult for you. I don't think anyone would dare to confront you in public."

Beckham smiled and nodded: "Yes, but let me rest for 10 minutes."

Neil's eyes lit up, "Of course, the replay of such a wonderful game lasts more than 10 minutes, so it's okay to make them wait a little longer."

After a while, reporters from Sky TV came to the scene.They first interviewed McManaman, who made the lore penalty, and the former England core talked freely without any stage fright.

As the little prince of nightclubs, he has been in contact with all kinds of people in the society, and he has no problem moving around.

After a while, Gary Neville was also invited for an interview.

As a key player who is absolutely equal in regular time, he can fully afford this pomp.

Gary Neville was excited and nervous, and this was his dream moment.

In order to accept the interview as soon as possible, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, and started talking impatiently while wearing dirty and wet clothes.

Gary spoke impassionedly, and the reporter and cameraman looked at each other.

The guy said almost nothing to do with the question, and he always gave a long speech after hastily perfunctory the question.

"I was born in an ordinary but not ordinary family. My dad was a cricketer, my mum was a gymnast, and I had a younger brother who was more athletic than me. It sounds like a sports family, but such families are common in the UK."

"My younger brother has been very talented since he was a child. He is the second motivation for me to become stronger. My source of motivation is my love for football."

"Phil deserves a place in the England team, I don't understand why Glenn only brings a left-back to France!"

Seeing that Gary Neville's speech gradually began to wander on the dangerous border, Neil quickly pulled Hiller over.

Gary Neville continued to answer a few questions with Shearer, and found that the reporters were gradually alienating himself, so he could only go to the locker room to drink water unwillingly.

Beckham has already taken a quick shower and changed into clean clothes. He is still a little dizzy, so he wants to adjust again.

As a result, Gary Neville was like a stray dog ​​who had just eaten, chattering as soon as he entered the locker room, and he had to walk out of the locker room.

Beckham accepted the interview in a dazed state. Seeing that Beckham was refreshed, the reporter immediately became agitated, but the questions he asked were easy to return to. Beckham answered the three questions in detail, and Neil immediately terminated the interview.

At this time, more than half of the fans in the stadium were still present, and they were still singing and dancing. Today's game shocked many people mentally.

It was the most exciting match of the World Cup so far, a game that brought together almost all the elements that make the game of football so exciting.

Speed, collision, turnover, quasi-lore, absolute tie, red card, penalty, golden ball death.

These elements happened in the two hours just now, and it still makes people uneasy.

Afterwards, many people came to the player tunnel because of their connections. The first was Fat Nick. He hugged Beckham silently round after round.

Then Beckham saw his parents, and he jumped onto the stands in two or three steps, which also triggered muscle spasms.

Old Ted and Sandra looked at their son with mixed emotions, sometimes smiling, sometimes grinning, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Sophie Marceau also came. She kissed Beckham in public and triggered all the flashing lights within a 20-meter radius.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time. Since the day Beckham came to the England team to report, the two have not appeared in the same place.

At the beginning, Hoddle did not allow it. Later, the English players slapped the media in the face in order to win a sigh of relief, and simply cut themselves off from the outside world.

Even now, teams are enforcing "wartime regulations."

If the England team hadn't played such a brilliant game, maybe everyone would simply clean up after the game and go back to the hotel immediately.

Later, Lloyd brought Hathaway to find him. To be precise, Hathaway led Lloyd.

Lloyd chatted with Beckham before giving time to his daughter.

Hathaway hesitated for a while with a blushing face, and then said in a generous tone: "Congratulations, David, I hope you will always be happy!"

Ok?
There is always something wrong.

Even though his face was flushed, his tone was surprisingly generous.

Beckham felt that the little girl's words contained a lot of information. It stands to reason that after the congratulations, shouldn't he be expected to win the trophy?
This is what a little girl should say, what is it like to hope that you are always happy?
Beckham felt that the little girl was teasing him, but there was not enough evidence.

Hmm. I didn't notice it before, but Beckham suddenly felt that this little girl had matured a bit, and her height was already comparable to Keegan's.

Why take Keigumby?

Because both of them appeared in front of him one after another, their heights were probably at the bridge of his nose.

Beckham suddenly felt that the little girl had grown up. This feeling was very strange, as if he had watched her grow up since childhood.

Hathaway didn't know what was going on in Beckham's mind, and the moment of silence between the two made her feel uneasy for a moment.

She didn't want to end the long-awaited meeting politely, so she pointed to Beckham's side to pretend to be surprised, waited for the moment when he turned his head, and kissed the heartthrob, then blushed and summoned up courage to say: "You will love me!"

Lloyd's face twitched violently, and he felt that this short moment stirred his heart more than the previous nearly two hours.

He was more worried about his daughter getting hurt than ever.

Amidst the uproar, Lloyd said goodbye to Beckham, who couldn't laugh or cry, in an awkward but polite atmosphere. He saw that England's substitute players had packed their bags and were ready to go to the bus.

Neil Bright stood not far away, seemingly not wanting to disturb the conversation between the two, but actually reminding him to end the conversation as soon as possible.

Back on the bus, Beckham fell asleep after a while.

He woke up a few times in between and found that more than half the starters were chattering away.

Gary Neville, with ice packs on both legs, was still excitedly discussing what had happened on the pitch with Ince.

Beckham slept for a while before the bus stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

The 20-minute drive took an hour, and the England fans without tickets and the media who did not get interview opportunities seemed to be hanging on the car for a long time, which seriously affected the speed of the return journey.

After returning to the hotel, the coaching staff did not allow the players to return to the room. The team had a post-match meal first, and then was released back to the hotel after receiving a massage.

When Beckham returned to the room, he took out his autobiography and told Old John the news of England's promotion.

Compared with his previous "gaffe" performance, Old John appeared to be very patient and polite this time.

Although it can be seen that he is still very happy, but far less excited than before.

Beckham feels that this may prove that England fans are worried about the "British-Arab War".

After saying goodbye to Old John, Beckham wanted to chat with Gary, but there was no movement on the other side.

He turned around and saw that Gary, who was still wearing an ice pack, had his head tilted to one side, like a soldier in a war movie who was exhausted.

Seeing Gary's "smiling Jiuquan" expression, Beckham was also amused.

In any case, the kid was exhausted today.

In the statistics after the game, he saw that he had run about 16000 meters, and Gary was not much less.

That statistic is very interesting. Looking around, most of the players on both sides have run more than 10000 meters, which feels like a report card of a long-distance running competition.

Beckham took off the ice pack from Gary's body, covered him with a quilt, and then lay down in the quilt.

It was truly a day to cherish, but it will pass.

A burst of drowsiness struck, and Beckham fell into a dream.

In the dream, he got married.The wedding was held in a cathedral, and the bride was wearing a white wedding dress, with a white mist covering her face.

The wedding went on from noon to night, and all kinds of red tape were tortured.

In a certain street in Marseille, a group of drunks were singing, and French fans in French uniforms sang "Marseillaise" loudly. They were covered by "God Save the Queen" before they finished singing.

Both groups were shouting at the top of their lungs, trying to overwhelm their opponents.

After a while, people on both sides began to insult each other, and then rushed together, and the melee was on the verge of breaking out, but it never broke out.

The reason was that the fans on both sides were so drunk that they didn't have the energy to fight at all.

The two groups then started spitting at each other, drank wine after their mouths were dry, and giggled at each other.

At this time, a pair of father and daughter hurried past the drunks. Lloyd glanced at the drunks with contempt, and then said without reason: "I think you are flying moths to the flame!"

Hathaway didn't wait for him to finish before retorting: "When I was young, you always taught me that I should fight bravely for what I like!"

Lloyd smiled wryly and said, "I regret it, if I had known that one day, I would have educated you to be a Japanese housewife."
