[Football] Crown of Thorns

In the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup, Portugal defeated France 2-1 and entered the next quarter-finals.

…………

After the excited celebration, Gama and his teammates returned to the hotel exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Waking up in the morning, it was still dark, Jia Ma suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed, saw the gray light outside the window through the undrawn curtains, after thinking about it, he got up and went to the bathroom, then came back and lay down again.

It's a double room with two single beds - Guoguoya doesn't have a double bed - and he and Ann have been friends over the years, club and national team.

Through the light of gray linen, it can be seen that Furtado is sleeping deeply.

I also want to know that in yesterday's game, the defense was really hard, especially in the second half under the frantic counterattack of the French team. Seeing the purple blood on Furtado's body, Gama felt unhappy.

But it seems that there are not many opportunities to lie down and observe Furtado. Although he wakes up early, An also wakes up not too late. They wake up almost at the same time. They will do morning exercises in the activity room after washing up, and then go to eat Breakfast, an hour's rest before training... Day after day, it's been like this for years.

When he was in the national youth team, An looked taller and stronger than him, but gradually his height surpassed An's, and he also had solid muscles. In terms of stature, there is not much difference between the two.

Most of the Portuguese natives are of the Latin race, and their ancestors are mostly descendants of white people near the Mediterranean Sea and descendants of ancient Rome. The ancestors of the Da Gama family are ancient Romans, so most of the members are white with black or brown-black hair. People, and An's family should be of mixed Central and South American descent, with curly hair, deep eyebrows and high nose, and they are quite handsome in terms of appearance.

Gama stared at Furtado. Speaking of which, An looks a bit like Figo, the veteran of the Portuguese national team. He was handsome like a girl when he was a teenager, but he is fluffy when he grows up. Fortunately, An has hair on his head. It's normal, the hair on my body is not too thick, um, the smell of sweat is not too heavy...

"What are you looking at?"

Probably because he had been stared at by Jia Ma for a long time, Furtado, who felt his gaze, woke up and asked unbearably.

"Let me see if your hair is heavy."

Gama answered honestly.

"...Don't you know if it's serious or not?"

Choked, Furtado raised his middle finger.

Gamaha blinked and laughed, "If the hair is too heavy, it won't feel good to the touch."

"Shiko!"

Furtado, half-dead from anger, jumped up from the bed, "Shut up!"

Seeing him kicking into the bathroom, Jia Ma got up and followed, "Are you going to get up?"

Furtado, who was doing personal security work, turned around and yelled, "Can you get out?"

Staring at Furtado's place, Jia Ma said kindly, "I want NIAO to go outside."

"I rely on!"

Furtado's rage sounded in the bathroom.

Jia Ma walked to the window of the room, drew the curtains, opened the window, and the fresh morning breeze blew.

Stretching, taking a breath of fresh air, Gama hummed a song in a good mood:

When you walk through a storm, hold your head high, don't be afraid of the dark, at the end of that storm is a golden blue sky,

And the sweet song of the lark.

Through the wind, through the rain, maybe your dreams will be shattered,

Go forward, with the hope in your heart.

you'll never Walk Alone……

…………

Well, Jia Ma, a tone-deficient guy, has only this song "You'll Never Walk Alone" that can be completely memorized after so many years.

He was humming a song at the window, and then someone poked his head from the window next to him.

"Xiko, can you shut up!"

Coentran's messy golden hair was exposed.

Living next to Gama's room are Coentrao and Moutinho. When the two got up and opened the window, they heard someone who was singing out of tune but was still humming endlessly here. None of the captains of the Portuguese team of this generation seem to have the talent for music. The point is, the two of them are still very ignorant of themselves, yet they still want to sing.

"Tsk, Fabio, it's not good to be so irritable early in the morning, dissatisfied with desire?"

"Depend on!"

Cohen shook his fist angrily.

Lying on the window with Fabio and bickering, laughing and looking at the sky outside, Gama was in a very good mood.

Furtado, who had finally finished washing, came over, "You guys chatting like this?"

Gama smiled, "Are you jealous?"

Cohen burst out laughing when he heard Gama's voice.

Furtado's fist was itchy, "Go away."

Jia Ma giggled, and ran to clean up his personal hygiene.

Putting his head out to look at the unimpressive golden-haired classmate, Furtado raised his eyebrows, "Have you washed it yet?"

"what?"

"Skipping breakfast. Aren't you hungry?"

"Ah, yes, I'm starving to death~~~"

The golden retriever shrank his head and ran away in a snap.

I can't cure you, idiot!

At this moment, Moutinho poked his head out and asked, "Go together?"

"hurry up."

Furtado nodded.

Gama always washed quickly, and when Furtado walked to the bathroom door, he had finished washing himself and was flipping through the clothes on the hanger!

Seeing the national team uniform that Gama found, Furtado sighed, "Wear that pair of jeans and a blue T-shirt, and don't need to wear the team uniform today."

"Trouble, the team uniform is the most comfortable."

Gama's completely lazy way of picking clothes made Furtado deeply suspicious, "For a person like you, why does Burberry keep using you as its spokesperson? It's just..."

He didn't say the rest, but of course Gama understood.

Shrugging his shoulders, Gamara came out with the pair of jeans and T-shirt that Furtado said. This seemingly simple clothing is from the Burberry brand. Because he has been the spokesperson of Burberry's clothing for these years, Gamara excluded the national team and the T-shirt. All apparel other than club uniforms are provided by sponsors.

"You are here!"

In the past, it was Monet who helped, and then the staff who delivered the clothes from the factory directly set them up and hung them in the closet. At home, it was either Chris or Joanna who helped, and later it was Ann who helped with matching and choosing clothes, and he didn't need to use his brain.

Well, Ann is such a good person, a good wife and mother!

Jia Ma snickered.

Reluctantly, Furtado rehung the team jersey that Gama threw aside, and put the dirty jersey back in the laundry basket.

"Let's go!"

The soft touch of the kiss was on the face, Kama laughed and opened the door.

Furtado shook his head with a smile, and followed him out of the room.

A new day begins.

…………

After the game on July 7st, the Portuguese national team has a week of rest. The next game is on the 1th. They will return to the Sochi Olympic Stadium to meet their next opponent, coming to Group C second Italy The winner of Group D first Belgium - Italy.

"I didn't expect Italy to win against Belgium."

"Yeah, as Belgium, the number one player in Group D, I thought Italy couldn't win..."

In the restaurant, most of the players and staff who came to have breakfast slowly gathered.

Everyone chatted while eating and discussing that in the second game held on the same day as them, although it was a veteran team, Italy won the European Red Devils Belgium, which still surprised many people.

"It is really surprising that the Italian team, which has been weak, can win Belgium."

Gama took the spoon from Furtado and dug into the egg custard, chatting with Ronaldo next to him.

Ronaldo nodded, "It's a bit of a surprise."

Before the game, most people were optimistic about Belgium, but who would have thought that the Italian team, which had no successors, would use their tactics to grind to death the youthful Red Devils. Can it be said that it is an Italian team with superb football tactics theory? !

"Don't gloat, we will face Italy in the next game."

Hearing the laughing and laughing of his teammates, Gama poured cold water on it.

Uh uh, yes, seven days later we will face such an Italian team that is so good at playing tactics!

"This one……"

The silliest (Gama language) golden-haired classmate who laughed winked, 'Xiko! "

"Don't call me, I don't know how to respond!"

Gama will not comment on this until he has watched the full game video.

"Forget it, we won the game yesterday anyway, let's relax for a day!"

Veloso and Quaresma also came over with a plate and sat down beside him.

"Oh, yes," after sitting down, Veloso looked up at the surrounding teammates, "Don't discuss tactics or views on the game with Siko before the game, this is a recognized unspoken rule in the team, you pay attention .”

The teammates laughed and nodded, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot~~"

"Damn, Miguel, what are you talking about?"

Gama jumped up.

Then Furtado forced a piece of Baishui chicken into Jia Ma's mouth, "Eat your meal!"

Tasteless and unpalatable chicken beat gama.

Gama swallowed the piece of meat angrily, "It's so unfair."

I don't know if he was talking about meat or something else, but Gama really shut up.

Ronaldo on the side said twice, "I'm going out today, be good and don't cause trouble!"

Everyone glared at them: It's you who meet reporters after you go out and don't cause trouble, okay?

Ronaldo, who was in a good mood, ignored their protests lazily, and ran away after eating quickly.

"Secret meeting, adultery!"

Swallowing the salad, Gama cut it.

Furtado stuffed another piece of chicken into his mouth silently, "You don't need to talk."

After chatting, everyone left one after another, leaving only Jia Ma and the others at the table.

Coentram smiled, "I'll go out later."

"get out!"

Veloso turned his head, and before he could say anything, Gama rolled his eyes, "Needless to say, you have to go out."

"Anyway, you don't need to go to a private meeting."

Veloso was not afraid of him.

Jia Ma clicked his tongue and glanced at Furtado who was carefully dividing up the chicken, "So what, I didn't stop you from having a private meeting!"

Veloso rolled his eyes, "With whom? You?"

"Okay, I don't care."

Gama shrugged.

"I mind."

Furtado, who couldn't take it anymore, raised the knife and fork in his hand, "You two bastards, can you shut up?"

"Well, whoever has the murder weapon is in charge!"

Gama raised his hands in surrender.

Staring at her threateningly, Veloso immediately raised his hand, "My daughter is still young, so I can't lose my father."

These two mischievous creatures, I really want to beat them up!

After everyone evacuated, Jia Ma propped his head on his hands, and looked sideways at Furtado who was eating breakfast seriously and didn't know what time it was.

"You're angry?"

"To shut up!"

"Okay, Ann, are you going on a date?"

"……with who?"

"Of course it's my handsome guy."

"handsome guy?"

"Yes."

"..."

"going or not?"

"go!!!"

The last sound, what he said was vicious.

Gama smiled.

The sun is shining and the moment is the best!
