It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 143 141 Express from Madrid (Recommended)
The prologue of a new legend has begun to be written, and the Mengjin River continues to flow out luminous pearls.

However, the precious jade outside Kunshan has not yet been mined, and the fourth official on the sidelines has already raised the substitution card.

"I will definitely stop you next time."

Michelle said, blushing.

"Okay," Charles said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Then don't forget to return the incubator to me later."

Amid the cheers of Camp Nou, Charles and Pedro hugged each other and quickly walked to the bench.

Vilanova held the notebook close to Charles' ear and said, "Your express has arrived. The security guard has already sent it to the reception room."

Ciel looked up, slightly surprised, "Ah, okay."

But Vilanova still didn't leave, like a thorn in his throat.

"Did your friend in Madrid send it to you?"

"I think so," Charles said a little guilty.

"That's good," Vilanova breathed a sigh of relief, "because this package was sent from Valdebebas Sports City. When the security guards first received it, they thought it was a threatening courier from an extreme Real Madrid fan or fanatic."

……

Ever since Charles left the field, for some reason, Michel seemed to be energized and his defense was incredibly good, as if he was possessed by Nesta.

Seeing this, Almeria replaced Carew Uche and Crusat with Piatti and Nieto.

Guardiola was not idle either. He replaced Busquets and Pedro with Toure and Keita, and Iniesta was pushed to the front line.

Time passed quickly. In the second minute of injury time, Almeria took a corner kick from the left side. Akashet headed the ball in front of the goal, but was saved by Valdes. The referee immediately blew the whistle to end the game.

Barcelona 3:0 Almeria.

Diego Alves, Michel and others walked slowly back to the locker room from the player tunnel with their heads down.

While no one was paying attention, Michelle blocked the cabinet door with her body and quietly took out an insulated box from it. When she was about to return it, the head coach suddenly walked in.

On the other side, the same situation was happening.

"Have you signed it?"

Messi asked as he stood up with his jersey in his hand.

"Come on, come on."

"My signature is ready, Leo, here you go."

Xavi threw the jersey over to Messi, who took it and put it in his hand. After a while, almost everyone's jersey in the locker room was in Messi's hand.

"Where are the captain and Ciel?"

Messi looked around the locker room but couldn't find Charles and Puyol.

"I don't know, maybe he went to pick up a package," Harvey said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Puyol appeared at the door of the locker room with a courier box in his hand.

"What's wrong? Everyone look at me," he said as he walked to his seat and sat down.

Messi handed over the pen in his hand and said, "The goalkeeper of Almeria wants to hold a jersey auction for charity. He came to me before the game to ask for a jersey. Captain, please sign one too."

Puyol raised his eyebrows, put the express on the ground, took off his jersey, took the pen handed by Messi, and started signing.

"Give."

Messi took Puyol's jersey and put it in his hand, "Captain, have you seen Charles?"

Puyol picked up the package on the ground and started opening it.

"Ah, Charles, when I came back I saw him go to the mail room. He must have gone to pick up a package."

Soon, Puyol tore off the express packaging bag in no time, and a pure white box unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone.

The room suddenly became quiet, and the joy and rapid Spanish in the air came to an abrupt end.

Everyone looked at the pure white box in Puyol's hand like owls.

Puyol's face flushed, and he subconsciously pulled up the courier bag. "I said these are the melon seeds I bought, and they were just delivered. Do you believe me?"

Messi, standing in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and for a moment he didn't know how to face the fact that his captain had received a express delivery from Real Madrid.

Xavi and Iniesta stood up and surrounded Curly.

"The national team's match will start soon. Let's distribute the melon seeds while Charles is not here. Otherwise, when he comes back, we won't have many left," said Busquets in the clearance.

"Yes, yes, yes. Now that Charles is not around, Karls, quickly share the melon seeds."

Iniesta turned around and sat back in his seat, giving Puyol a step.

Valdes didn't know if it was due to occupational disease, but he walked to the door and closed the locker room door.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Puyol gritted his teeth and tore off all the express packaging bags, and the white box finally revealed its true appearance.

It is a gift box for Real Madrid fans.

Everyone felt as if they were falling into an icy cave, and the air froze instantly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

It's Vilanova.

"What are you doing? Open the door."

Valdes took one look at the Real Madrid logo in the middle of the pure white box and leaned against the door.

"Sorry, it's team meeting time now."

Every top team will have such a team meeting because coaches and players do not naturally have a community of interests.

The knocking stopped immediately.

Vilanova left the locker room door tacitly.

"Garcia, don't let anyone get close to here until they come out."

……

Puyol swallowed a mouthful of water, closed his eyes, and opened the lid with trembling hands.

"What's this!"

There was a sharp explosion in the locker room.

Puyol took a deep breath and opened his eyes, only to see a folded Real Madrid jersey in the middle of the box, it was Casillas's!
For a moment, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by someone, and his whole body went cold.

Moreover, the box looks very deep from the outside, and it is impossible that there is only one jersey in it. In other words, there must be something else under Casillas' jersey.

Igor, you have caused me so much trouble!
Pique looked at Puyol with resentment.

"Where are our melon seeds?"

Puyol's hands were shaking and he simply closed the lid.

He really didn't dare to turn the page any further.

"It's me, Charles. Open the door and let me in."

Valdez opened the door of the locker room with a sense of relief. Charles could solve all problems in the locker room, just as he could solve all problems on the court.

The No. 7 player wearing a red and blue jersey squeezed in through the crack in the door that Valdez had opened, panting and resting his hands on his knees. "I'm so tired. What are you doing? You even closed the door."

After resting for a while, Charles walked up to Puyol and said, "Carls, you got the wrong package. This one is yours, and the one you got is mine."

Puyol's eyes widened.

Everyone in the locker room was shocked.

It turns out there is someone secretly colluding with Real Madrid!
"Why are you looking at me?" Charles took the pure white box with the Real Madrid logo printed on it from Puyol's legs and returned to his seat.

Under the shocked gazes of the owls, Charles opened the box and took out one Real Madrid jersey after another.

"Charles, why would Real Madrid send you a package?"

Harvey's lips felt dry.

"I called Benzema to ask for this, but he sent me the jerseys of the entire team."

Charles held all 11 Real Madrid jerseys in his hands.

“I saw the news about the floods in Brazil a few days ago, and I wanted to do something.”

Messi let out a long sigh of relief.

I almost scared him to death just now.

Whether it is captain Puyol or Charles, who has always been coveted by Real Madrid, given the current media's omnipresent posture, no one knows what kind of storm will be caused.

Almeria dressing room.

Michelle held the incubator in her arms.

The head coach in the middle of the locker room finally stopped his incessant lecture.

Just as he was about to leave, the stadium prop manager suddenly knocked on the locker room door.

"Michel, Diego Alves, Messi and Charles are waiting for you outside."

……

After giving away the jerseys, Charles flew back to France with Henry and Abidal to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.

Although it is France's home game, the home stadium is not the same for each game.

This time it was in Caen, a small city in northern France.

Caen can also be called the City of Caen. It has convenient transportation and is the capital of the Calvados department. To put it in a more figurative way, it is in the Normandy region.

By his geographical location, he is associated with big sports.

It was occupied by the English twice in 1346 and 1417, and did not return to France until 1450.

During the French Revolution it was the centre of the Girondist movement.

During the Normandy Landings in 1944, the Germans used Caen as a hub to resist the British and Canadian offensive.

As a result, two-thirds of the city was destroyed.

It has gone through many vicissitudes over the past century.

The Orion River flowed quietly not far away, and Charles finally arrived at the hotel.

Charles had just arrived in his room and taken a shower. As soon as he turned on the TV, he saw UEFA President Platini being interviewed by France's Canal+ TV station.

"As one of the best of the new generation of French players, Charles performed well in both the league and national team last season."

"At the club, Charles was able to stand up again and again after injuries and eventually helped Barcelona win the Champions League."

“After being selected for the national team, he has saved the fate of the entire team many times. Anyone who has watched the game will not deny this.”

"I have also seen a lot of media saying that Charles is Zidane's successor. Indeed, he has all the advantages to become a great player, but it still takes time to test."

"I was asked Henri Michel (a famous French player and coach) if I would be a great player and he gave me the same answer. I was unhappy about it at the time, but now it seems that he was right."

Charles watched for a while and then changed the channel.

It is a rare thing to gain the favor of the UEFA President.

But for the players, it is still a bit sensitive.

Spain 5.

"Incredible goal, incredible Charles. In the first half of Barcelona's La Liga match against Almeria, Charles kicked a ball that seemed to completely defy the laws of physics."

"For this purpose, we have specially invited a physics professor from the University of Barcelona to analyze the principles and explain how to kick such a ball in physics."

Charles had no interest in physics.

French Canal5.

"How difficult is Charles' magical pass? Our reporter is about to go to Lyon and ask the club's first-team players to try and see if they can replicate Charles' pass."

French general news.

"With two key players of the French national team missing, Domenegue had to put all the burden on Charles' shoulders."

"Ribery played the full match in Bayern's Bundesliga match against Cologne last Saturday. Due to inflammation of the left knee tendon, he will not be able to participate in France's match against the Faroe Islands this Saturday and the match against Austria next Wednesday."

"At the same time, another key player in the French team's midfield, Gourcuff, was also eliminated due to injury. Ribery's withdrawal will reduce Domenech's combat effectiveness and creativity in the midfield."

"Domenegue can only hope that Charles stays healthy in the coming days. After all, the fighting power and creativity that the French midfield can rely on now all depend on Charles."

"At the moment, it's not a problem to beat the Faroe Islands, but against Austria, which still has a chance of qualifying, France's chances of winning are less than 5%."

"Currently, France is ranked first in Group 7 of the World Cup qualifiers, only one point ahead of Serbia. If they want to keep their top spot in the group, they must get all six points if Serbia does not make any mistakes."

The news on TV continues.

At this time, Benzema pushed the door open.

"Will you go play later? Lori is ready."

Ciel turned off the TV and said, "Let's go."

……

"TV, TV, you are watching the 2010 South Africa World Cup qualifiers, France vs. Faroe Islands at home."

"The two teams have met five times in history, with France winning all five games, scoring 5 goals and not conceding a single goal."

“两队在欧洲杯预选赛中交手2次，法国队分别以5比0和6比0完胜。世界杯预选赛中两队交手3次，法国队三战全胜，进6球一球未失。”

"In this game, the French team was missing the core organizers Ribery and Gourcuff in the midfield, so Domenech arranged for four forwards to play at the same time."

"Charles and Henry will be on the left and right, with Anelka and Gignac starting as double center forwards."

"In the midfield, Toulalan and Lassana Diarra form a double defensive midfield. In the back line, Sagna, Gallas, Abidal and Evra are lined up."

"Here are the match rosters for both teams:"

“法国(4-4-2)：1-曼丹达/2-萨尼亚、5-加拉、3-阿比达尔、13-埃弗拉/10-夏尔、14-图拉朗、6-L·迪亚拉、12-亨利/9-阿内尔卡、11-吉尼亚克。”

“法罗群岛(4-5-1)：1-米克尔森/2-佩特尔森、3-大卫德森、4-格雷格尔森、5-埃基尔·博/6-罗格威·雅各布森、7-本加明森、8-丹尼尔森、10-克里斯蒂安·雅各布森、11-罗金/9-苏尼·奥尔森。”
