Public Enemy [Soccer]

Ivan and Cesc Fabregas made an appointment.

Bosque almost suffered a cardiac arrest when he found out about this. His assistant coach added with great interest: "The two midfielders don't know what they are doing. They said they want to see the truth on the pitch. How do you think they will compare?"

"...What?" Bosque wondered.

"The two of them said they want one-on-one." The teaching assistant laughed, "The whole team listened, and many staff members also heard it. Ivan was very motivated when he first came!"

Bosque understood that it wasn't a thorn in the head to fight, but he still frowned subconsciously: "He was restless when he first came?"

Which one of the players who just entered the national team didn't keep their feet? Why did Ivan start making troubles the next day?

The assistant coach is very understanding: "Young people are a bit full of blood, especially Ivan's current status, if you let him play the nine and a half position, of course he will be born with Cesc Fabregas who also plays the nine and a half position compete."

A rising star and a stable main force are indeed prone to conflicts.

The assistant persuaded again: "Besides, our match itself is a friendly match, not a group match, so there is no major problem... It would be great if Ivan can think that he can solve the problem before the first match, right?"

Only then did Bosque let go of his frowning brows and nodded. He really didn't like accidents, but considering the current situation of the Spanish national team, they need a lot of changes... and also need new stimuli to activate this pool of stagnant water .

Ivan is the youngest player in the Spanish team today, and the excitement he can bring is obvious. Bosque is very happy to see the changes. He said with a smile: "Then we are not in a hurry, let's wait and see quietly, lest they can't let go. .”

Bosque here is cloudy and sunny, but the Spanish national team is gloomy.

Especially the people of Real Madrid.

Ramos almost wrinkled his face: "Why are you so restless?"

"He provoked me first, but I haven't had time to do anything yet," Ivan should reply, "We are not cowards who can't take the challenge, right?"

Torres raised his eyebrows at Ramos and asked silently: He said "I haven't had time to do it yet"?

Ramos nodded mournfully.

And what Ivan said was right, Fabregas first came to provoke, and Ivan was just a reasonable confrontation, and it was not at all an initiative to provoke trouble.

"Sergio, now is not the time to worry about the unity of the national team," Ivan whispered with a chuckle, "Now the Barcelona gang is provoking trouble against the Real Madrid gang, don't you care?"

Ramosten jumped up immediately: "Of course!"

Alonso smiled wryly: "Low-key Sergio, at least they are just a two-person sparring in name."

Everyone from Barcelona over there has seen it...

Ramos nodded his head reluctantly. Generally speaking, he is serious, but if there is a confrontation between the two sides, he will naturally side with Ivan, and of course Alonso is the same.

It's just that it's a good thing to control the problem between the two of them now. If it doesn't make trouble on the bright side, everyone can get by, and the national team is not just Real Madrid and Barcelona players, and the locker room has never been anyone's talk.

"Also, Torres, I know you have a good relationship with Ramos, but is it really okay for you to sit here at this time?" Alonso's eyes shifted to Torres, like Carvajal, Isco It's okay for them to sit on the side, after all, everyone is a Real Madrid player, but Torres...

Atletico Madrid players are watching him, huh?Those people are going to cry, huh? ?

Torres is their royal highness and their former captain. How could he sit on the side of their sworn enemy in the same city? ! !

Torres didn't even look at the situation at Atletico Madrid, but replied without changing his face: "It's okay, just have breakfast."

Of course he is okay!But what about their whispers here? !

Alonso held back and held back, but both Torres and Ivan looked indifferent, he sighed and said to Ivan in a low voice: "Ivan, do you know what the people at Barcelona think?" of?"

Fabregas is not the type who will take the initiative to talk to people, even if he has said hello, although they are said to be teammates of the national team, they are still a few years behind, and they did not grow up together. One is still playing in other leagues, so for them, teammates are actually just colleagues who play in the same team, and they don't need to be so gregarious at all.

Especially Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​although they are teammates of the national team, they usually meet in a national derby, not to mention the multiple sexual tastes, both sides will get angry just by seeing the color of each other's jerseys.

Logically speaking, Cesc Fabregas would not be so irrational, and he would start a conflict with Ivan when he came up.

Ivan replied in a low voice: "There is no need to know, isn't Barcelona seeing me unhappy for a long time?"

Alonso laughed and shook his head.

This can't be wrong... After all, for Barcelona, ​​Ivan is basically the type of player who "gets bored at first sight".

The threat he can have against Barcelona is too powerful.

Let’s not talk about the first UEFA Champions League. At that time, Barcelona’s system was not complete, and some of the players were immature, with some injuries. They were not in the best condition at all. Facing the flourishing Manchester United and the peak of Cristiano · Ronaldo and rising star Ivan Fernandez, they did not lose so unjustly.

But then what?

When they met Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League final for the second time, Barcelona already had their own most mature and even invincible style of play. Manchester United had no power to fight back in the first half, and was played by them between applause. , While the physical strength was rapidly exhausted, Manchester United's defense also fell apart.

Obviously that should be a logical victory.

Ivan Fernandez stepped up.

Blocking left and attacking right, running long distances, defending and counterattacking, a set of smooth operations directly turned the advantages established by Barcelona into flowing water.

Pique's foul tactics did not allow him to end his madness. Although it took the entire summer break and most of the season, he still dragged his injured leg to play. Barcelona, ​​​​with one person missing, could no longer stop it Manchester United's iron walls.

That defeat was a disgrace to Barcelona, ​​as well as confusion.

How did he do it?

How could he do this?

What kind of sharp-edged soul is hidden under that handsome and well-behaved face?

Now Ivan Fernandez is sitting in front of them, greeting them with his signature smile, who doesn't have a heart attack?However, at this age, it is not good for them to embarrass Ivan, and there is no excuse for them.

— But Fabregas has.

Just like what I said before, Bosque recommended him to play the nine and a half position. This is something that the players who arrived the day before yesterday knew. As it should be.

What's more, Cesc Fabregas has long wanted to have a game with Ivan.

For him, Barcelona is the temple in his heart, and it is also an unrivaled dream team. It is such a team, but it happened to be defeated by Manchester United twice... or, in other words, at the feet of Ivan.

How can he bear this?

He sat in Barcelona's seat, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ivan at the Real Madrid table still smiling, with a very relaxed expression, which made his expression sink immediately.

"Why did you remember to ask him that question?" Pique raised his head very curiously. Of course, he wasn't curious. This sentence was just a subtle mockery of his little friend.

What do you hate or not? Among the people who grew up in Real Madrid, who likes Barcelona?

Isn't he humiliating himself by asking this question?

Fabregas replied with a low smile: "I just wanted to tell him that I actually dislike him very much, but I didn't expect him to preempt me."

Pique also glanced at Ivan and shrugged without saying anything.

Pique is also very clear about Ivan's character. He was one of the culprits for Ivan's injury back then. Even so, Barcelona still lost. He didn't mean to apologize at all. The camaraderie of playing at Manchester United has long since disappeared.

Although Ivan seems to have always been a perfect "good baby" in front of the media, his attitude of love and hate is still obvious.

Fabregas added: "But what are we better than?"

Pique sneered: "In the end, you didn't know what to compare to? Then you were talking nonsense just now."

Cesc Fabregas: "I don't feel very refreshed just watching him smile...whatever it is, why is he putting on a fake smile?"

Pique: "You can get it if you don't watch it?"

Xavi listened to their chat the whole time, and the Spanish midfielder from Barcelona wanted to shake his head.

Not to mention Ivan, Pique and Cesc Fabregas are not so young anymore, why are they still talking about "like it or not"?For Ivan's sake, they are seniors, and it's pretty good that they didn't confront each other face to face.

He is also too old. David Villa, who is one year younger than him, quit the national team to go to the New York Red Bulls for retirement. He will continue to sweat in the top league and the national team, although there are also midfielders and strikers in the middle The question of the length of career life, but no matter how Harvey thinks, he still feels that he is at a loss.

Villa was born in Atletico Madrid, and Torres led Atletico Madrid's group of people and there were only a few of them, so he really didn't have to worry about anything.

How does it look like Barcelona?

It doesn't matter if there are too many people, and his mental age is still too young. If he can mature and perform better on the court, why would he have to work so hard?

The two midfielders are one-on-one, do they want to go to heaven?Or do you want to try whose pass is more accurate?

It's just too messy... But it doesn't matter, anyway, looking at the situation, as long as the coach doesn't come to stop it, there will be no problem.

Seeing that the two people were still muttering, Harvey said: "Eat, remember to stretch first."

After hearing Harvey's voice, Pique and Cesc Fabregas quieted down and stopped discussing.

He pulled them to the training base. Switzerland is not a big country, but they also care about football. The grass is well maintained. Ivan jumped on the lawn, then turned to look at Fabrega direction.

Fabregas was looking at him too, but quickly looked away.

Warming up, stretching, jogging, Ivan took his time, he was waiting for Cesc Fabregas to tell the content of the game, since he proposed the game, naturally he also said the rules, but until the passing training It's all over, and Ivan still hasn't waited for Fabregas' request.

His eyes were as calm as water, and there was no sign of worry at all.

Judging from Cesc Fabregas's attitude, he doesn't like Ivan very much either. The words about breakfast time can't be just a joke, so he can wait peacefully.

Fabregas will always speak.

What Ivan didn't expect was that before Fabregas spoke, it was Bosque who spoke first.

"Simulated confrontation?" Ivan was a little surprised. He looked at Ramos on the side and wanted to ask for advice. Before he could speak, he was called by Bosque.

Bosque looked at him with a sly smile on his eyes: "Ivan, do you have any questions?"

"That's right." Ivan nodded directly without putting on an air, "Are we going to conduct simulated confrontation training from the beginning? My newcomer may not be able to keep up with everyone."

"It's okay, I believe in your ability, and you can adapt quickly." Bosque can't say that this is actually specially prepared for Ivan. It would be great, if not, let him have a good understanding of the Spanish team's playing style... After all, true knowledge comes out of the game, isn't it?

【*The original sentence of "True knowledge comes from competition": Practice brings true knowledge, the author modified it a little bit! 】

Ivan narrowed his eyes and waited silently for Bosque to divide the team.

Sure enough, it was the main team and the substitute team. The 23-member Spanish national team happened to be divided into two teams, with an extra goalkeeper sitting on the sidelines.

On Ivan's side, except for the goalkeeper, there are all substitute players, and some of them are even injured. Ivan turned to look in the direction of the goal, and Casillas smiled at him.

Should it be said that Bosque was not so cruel and assigned him a goalkeeper?

However, it is understandable that Casillas was assigned to him. Although he has worked hard in training and played well in the past half season, after all, he was delayed for a while in the Mourinho era. In contrast, the year-round Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez is more reassuring to Bosque. In this World Cup, he seems to be more interested in Valdez.

This point makes Casillas very dissatisfied. Isn't this match a contest between him and Valdes?

——Admittedly, the situation of Valdes is not very good now. His contract expires next summer. The Big Three of Barcelona originally thought that Valdes, who was the second echelon of the team with a high salary and second only to Messi, would choose to renew his contract. However, he refused to renew his contract and said that he would consider other teams. This news happened to come out during the ups and downs of Ivan’s transfer in the Premier League. For a while, Valdez’s non-renewal and Ivan’s transfer It became the headlines of the major media.

Valdez makes many mistakes but is full of experience and has been active on the court. Casillas has kept a low profile for a period of time, and now he has gradually recovered his level. Regarding the choice of Spain's main goalkeeper,

Looking at the opposite side, all the main Spanish players, the lineup alone makes people's hearts tremble.

The Spanish team's style of play is indeed biased toward Barcelona's style, focusing on ground control and penetration styles, but it is better than Barcelona's in that Spain's midfield is mainly Real Madrid's team, and their strength is very guaranteed.

... Does this sound absurd, but the fact is that it is very reassuring that the team in the midfield is Real Madrid. Coupled with the complementarity of Barcelona players, the combination of the two has the former Spain dynasty.

Such a lineup that was once invincible, what could be wrong in the civil war?nonexistent.

Bosque made a good plan. What he didn't expect was that Ivan had already seen such a battle five years ago. At that time, Ferguson didn't even assign him the main goalkeeper at the time, Van der Sar.

And one more thing.

At that time, Ivan was facing Manchester United at its peak, with top striker Cristiano Ronaldo, wing Giggs, midfielder Ferdinand... and now he was facing the fallen Spanish dynasty.

Ivan looked at the person in front of him, his golden eyes suddenly bent, and the young man smiled very innocently.

It seems that they are still immersed in the glory of the Spanish dynasty. Many people have forgotten the fiasco of the Confederations Cup in 13, and also forgot-why Ivan Fernandez was called into the national team.

Get off your horse?It's not the right time.

Ivan is wearing a substitute vest, the lineup from back to front is - Iker Casillas; Javi Martinez (defender, playing for Bayern Munich), Azpilicueta (playing for Chelsea) , Juan Fran (playing for Atletico Madrid); Koke (playing for Atletico Madrid), David Silva, Juan Mata (playing for Manchester United, mentioned above w), Cazorla (playing for Atletico Madrid) Arsenal), Xavi; Ivan Fernandez, Diego Costa.

Why does Ivan have to mark where he works here?It's not because these names are slightly unfamiliar...

For Cesc Fabregas - Valdes; Alba, Sergio Ramos, Albiol, Pique; Busquets, Fabregas, Iniesta, Aaron So; Pedro, Torres.

In Ivan's team, Xavi, a Barcelona player and the core of the Spanish midfielder, is very abrupt. Not only Ivan, but everyone else is staring at him, making Xavi smile a little uncomfortably: " What's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, I just feel a little surprised to see you here." Casillas shook his head and said not very euphemistically.

Harvey did not answer directly, but said lightly: "This is my last World Cup."

His age does not allow him to continue to play for the country, and he can still make money by playing in the club. What is he asking for trouble in the national team where there is no salary and easy injuries?

I am still worried about the development of the Barcelona gang, but this is the last time.

His age no longer allowed him to expend his physical and mental strength like this.

Casillas was silent for a while, narrowing his eyes: "Who isn't?"

Saint Cassie is the same age as Harvey. Although as a goalkeeper, his career will be extended a lot, but it does not mean that he thinks he can continue to play for the country in the 18 World Cup four years later, even from 02, He has always been the first choice of Spanish coaches, as did Del Bosque, but he seems to have wavered recently.

For example, the grouping at this moment can explain something.

But he will not protest anything, this kind of thing still has to be proved by facts.

Casillas: "Ivan."

Ivan, who was originally one of the crowd watching Harvey, was caught off guard by the roll call: "Yes!"

"No matter how much the outside world praises you and how much you have achieved in Manchester United, it is the past," Casillas is very serious, "I hope you can look at the present and not be stumbled by the honor of the past..."

The double captain suddenly started to educate him. Ivan was at a loss, but he still remained humble and continued to listen.

"...Don't be afraid to let go because of unfamiliar teammates, do what you want boldly!" Casillas continued, not noticing that because of what he said, most of the people around Even Harvey couldn't help but widen his eyes with a hellish expression, "Everyone try to cooperate with Ivan, don't panic if anything happens, I'm right behind you."

After all, he is still the captain of the national team. Although this is just a false name and most of the time he is blamed for it, they will still listen to what San Kasi said.

Because of personal concerns, not everyone knows Ivan's performance in the Premier League in detail. The opponents he has encountered in Real Madrid are not so difficult. They can't see Ivan's ability at all, but they believe in Floren The eyes of Tino and Real Madrid.

With the world's most valuable player, the player who can make Real Madrid willingly spend this money is not too bad, not to mention he is still surprisingly young?

Ivan rolled his eyes: "The words spoken by St. Igor are especially reassuring... Then I can do whatever I really want?"

"Okay," Casillas nodded solemnly, and looked at Harvey again, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Harvey nodded.

This is his last World Cup, and it is also his last time to play for the national team. It is not like those young people still have the energy to think about Real Madrid and Barcelona. Although he used to be persistent, he no longer cares about it. superior.

It is more important to have players who can further develop the national team. If you can't find a breakthrough point in the current players, then let's see if there is hope in the new players.

What's more... Pique and Cesc Fabregas are a little too inflated.

Thinking of what the two of them said at the dinner table, Harvey lowered his eyes.

Although it seems a little bad to use Ivan's hands to teach them a lesson, Harvey still feels that it is very necessary...to beat up the brats.

De Gea stood next to Del Bosque, watching the pitch intently.

Bosque looked down at his watch and blew his whistle.

The match begins!
