It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 147 Alvaro's Sky-Repairing Plan

After the game resumed, I don’t know if it was the coach’s chicken soup or the excessive drinking during the half-time break that worked, but the Austrian players continued to press fiercely.

Although the French team's midfield was missing two generals, under Charles' command and organization, the French team's offense was still well organized and threatening.

Sissoko passed the ball to Charles again.

Dragovic and Pehlivan lowered their center of gravity, bent their waists and stared at the ball under Charles' feet, but Charles had no intention of passing them. Instead, he passed the ball directly to Henry again.

The two men turned around quickly, but only to add a new footnote to the legendary epic stage play named Henry.

Henry didn't stop the ball and volleyed it without hesitation.

Just when all the Austrian players were frantically looking for the ball in the air, Benzema had telepathy and swung his arm and continued to shoot on the other side of the penalty area!
Fuzis and Patoka stood blankly in the middle of the penalty area, at a loss, like a wooden stake. In their eyes, they saw Charles rushing out from nowhere and quietly appearing at the back post.

Charles jumped up, aimed at the ball, and headed it!
Suddenly, Payer seemed to see that distant afternoon when his mother took him to the aquarium to watch a seal head the ball.

"Wow--"

Is that the sound of water?

No, no, Payer looked back and saw a round ball causing chaos in the goal, stirring up waves of white foam.

"France 4:0 Austria. In the second half, Charles helped France score another goal!"

"perhaps……"

Alvaro glanced out the window, picked up the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV commentary.

Whether it is Atletico Madrid where he was before or Barcelona now, there are very few players left in the training ground on national match days.

After thinking about Charles' goal just now, Alvaro poured himself a glass of water, slowly walked to the window, and watched the people coming and going outside.

So, this is the strength of a healthy Ciel?
In the past few days since he came to Barcelona, ​​he has been thinking about how strong the so-called healthy Charles is, but during this period of time, Charles has been recovering from injury.

Before coming here, he never had time to pay attention to any games other than Atletico Madrid, so he only knew that there was such a person, but never knew how strong he was.

"Alvaro, what are you doing?"

Alessandro called back from outside the window.

"Oh, I was thinking about something," Alvaro smiled.

"Well, why don't you leave now?" Alessandro was puzzled. "There's no one at the training base now."

"I haven't found a new house yet, and there's nothing to do in the dormitory now."

Alvaro kept smiling.

"Okay, then I'll go first," Alessandro gritted his teeth, waved to Alvaro with his back, and turned away reluctantly.

After seeing the unknown man walk away, Alvaro instantly took off the mask of smile and took out a secret recipe from his pocket.

Although he has never worked a day in Atletico Madrid and the chefs there basically don't know him, he has put a lot of thought into this valuable "Anti-Real Madrid Alliance" job.

He firmly believes that as long as he works hard to develop a super delicious "hamburger" and keeps Charles healthy, sooner or later, Real Madrid will be trampled under the feet of his favorite home team!

Speaking of which, the source of this hamburger secret recipe is not simple. He asked his brother to buy it from the "Hamburger Master" in Japan at a high price.

Although the "Hamburger Immortal" sounds a bit outrageous, there are so many "Sushi Immortals", "Rice Cooking Immortals" and "Tempura Immortals" in Japan. From this perspective, isn't it much more believable?
If this burger is not successful, he has a plan B - "SpongeBob SquarePants" describes an extremely delicious burger: the Krabby Patty.

That’s right, when the time comes, he will ask his brother to go to the United States again!
He kept all the great achievements of researching the ultimate burger in his mind and gave them great names.

That is the "Sky Repair Project"!
Charles, who was completely unaware of Alvaro's plan to repair the sky, was still running hard on the field.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The entire stadium was instantly like a sea of ​​joy.

"Jacquet, the head coach who led the French team to win the World Cup in 1998, once said that the French team can always be reborn from the pain."

"12 years later, as all the French fans waited from the chilly spring breeze to the bleak autumn, the French team has unknowingly completed a new nirvana."

"But it was really hard to qualify as the group leader after all the setbacks and setbacks along the way."

"From the beginning, the team lacked organization, tactical thinking was confused, the head coach suffered a crisis of confidence, and even outside, I don't know how many media and fans were not optimistic about them."

"Although the French Football Association always publicly expressed its support for Domenech, in fact, the meeting on whether to change the coach has been held more than once, which has already made the French team panic."

"The French have never been an optimistic people. From the first game against Austria, all that filled Domenegue's ears were pessimism."

“I remember Cohen said something like this: There are cracks in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”

"Now, let's look at the French team on the field. Are their past pains, conflicts and cracks all waiting for a new light to shine in from Corsica?"

Seeing Charles and Benzema slowly walking to the sidelines, Lori hurriedly took off his gloves and trotted behind Charles, hunched his shoulders, avoided Domenegue's gaze, and slowly moved off the field.

His position was already unstable, and now all we can hope is that Domenegue will quickly forget about him.

But before he could move to the sidelines, he saw the gray-haired old man walking straight towards him.

"Char, you will be interviewed in the mixed interview area later, don't forget it."

"Okay, coach."

Domenegue smiled, patted Charles on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

He knew very well that the French team didn't have much time left for him.

During this final period of time, he also wanted to win the most important trophy in his life, just like Jacquet did back then.

Mixed interview area.

Charles had just arrived, but the media reporters waiting there had already stretched out their microphones like sharks smelling blood.

"Charles, there have been recent reports that several top tycoons are willing to collectively fund to 'rent' you from Barcelona for a day, so that you can wear their club jersey and play a game. Is that true?"

"Ah?" Charles looked at the media in disbelief. What happened at Barcelona during his absence?

Hearing his question, the reporters off the field became even more excited.

"Wealthy people from Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have expressed their willingness to pay 200 million to 300 million euros just to rent you a day, and they will also provide you with huge insurance."

After hearing what was said, Charles roughly understood what it meant and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"There has never been such a precedent in La Liga before, right?"

Whether it was there or not, Charles didn't want to take the risk.

Instead of going to such a far place to play an exhibition match, you might as well just lie down at home and sleep.

After dealing with the media, Charles, exhausted both physically and mentally, ate a few bites at the celebration banquet arranged by Domenegue and went back to his room to sleep.

But while Charles was sleeping soundly, the media that made money by selling news were still busy, and the lights in the printing factory were brightly on.

L'Equipe posted a picture of Charles shooting: "Every future is a test of past life, and every present will become an irreversible past."

"Under Charles' leadership, we incredibly finished first in the group and qualified directly."

"Looking back on the difficulties and hardships along the way, the internal and external troubles along the way, we can clearly see that the turning point of everything was the friendly match between France and Argentina in the first half of the year, when Domenegge recruited Charles into the national team."

"Maybe Domeneger made 10,000 wrong decisions when he coached the French team, but the one right thing he did by bringing Charles into the national team is enough to cover up all his shortcomings."

"After all, even in the strongest sunlight, everything has a shadow."

Ajaccio General News: "Today, France Football released a list of 30 candidates for the European Footballer of the Year, and Charles is among them."

"...in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Ajaccio Football Club and Ajaccio Gazelec Football Club, the city government, together with the two clubs, has extended an invitation to Charles."

"It is understood that Charles will appear at the Francois Coty Stadium on the 100th anniversary."

The Catalan newspaper imitated the tone of the advertisement and wrote a slightly teasing report: "Are you a billionaire? Do you want to see Charles wearing your team's jersey?"

"Last season, a certain Uzbek team paid Galaporta 500 million euros in order to participate in Barcelona's internal training."

"But our imagination is still not as crazy as the Asian tycoons. According to Barcelona insiders, Laporta has also arranged a world tour for Charles: a friendly match with Saudi Arabia during the Christmas holiday this year."

"But there was a fierce disagreement within Barcelona about whether Charles should really be involved in this friendly match."

Daily Sports is more concerned about the recent Ballon d'Or: "After winning the treble, Barcelona has naturally become the club with the most candidates."

"There are seven players on the shortlist: Henry, Iniesta, Xavi, Toure and Ibrahimovic. Of course, there are also Messi and Charles, who are undoubtedly the top favorites to win the award."

"If you support them, why not go to the Daily Sport website?"

"We will launch a million signature campaign on the website. As long as you leave your name, nationality and support for your favorite player, we will print them all and submit them to France Football magazine before the Ballon d'Or is officially announced."

Austrian Football: "We didn't lose to Domenegue, we lost to Charles."

"Compared to Domenegue, who made many mistakes, had a chaotic team strategy, had inconsistent ideas, and was obsessed with astrology, Charles looked more like a qualified coach. Domenegue was completely spoiled by Charles."

"If Charles had been born in Napoleon's time, there might not have been a Battle of Waterloo."

"Any team that has Charles will be completely transformed. Compared with other national team coaches, Domenegue's only advantage is that he is luckier."

"Perhaps he would be a chef at Barcelona rather than a head coach at the French national team."

"Charles is an outlier among the arrogant French."

"When arrogance continues to hit a wall, Charles' humility once again saves them, just like Napoleon did in the past."

"As 2009 draws to a close, important awards are about to be announced one after another."

"Perhaps Charles should prepare a Golden Boy Award acceptance speech in advance. After all, at that time, he doesn't need to use his humility to take care of the arrogance of the French."

The next day, when Charles woke up, he boarded a plane back to Barcelona again.

There are no secrets for stars.

The news that the so-called Asian tycoon wanted to "rent" Charles for a day had become almost known to everyone after fermenting overnight.

Henry sat down next to Charles with the newspaper in his hand, and Abidal also came over curiously.

"So what do you think? Laporta really wants to loan you out at Christmas?"

Charles rubbed his temples. "It seems that the club has this plan, but Pep doesn't agree with it, and I don't really want to go."

Abidal looked at Charles in disbelief, "So you want to go to Ajaccio for a free friendly and give up 300 million euros?"

To make the most intuitive comparison, yesterday the British media "GOAL" website revealed that the Spanish Football Association had received an invitation for a warm-up match from China.

This news has been circulating for a long time, but this time it was officially reported.

If the Spanish Football Association agrees to come to China for a warm-up match, they will receive an appearance fee of 100 million euros.

Basically everyone knows the salary structure in the locker room.

Abidal is very sure that although Charr's annual salary is increasing rapidly, 300 million euros is almost equivalent to 1/4 of his annual salary.

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to be so decisive.

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I'm not that interested in money."

Ciel said with a smile.

Compared to Saudi Arabia, which is thousands of miles away and unfamiliar, he would rather go to Ajaccio to celebrate its 100th anniversary.

The news about the invitation is true, but because of the unwritten rules of the Spanish national football team, they did not agree in the end. Another point is that the 100 million euros is a wrong interpretation, made up by the media, and the invitation did not mention 100 million euros.
