It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 69 Football Table Tennis (Daily Transition)

Just one minute later, Pique made a straight pass from the midfield, and Charles made a low shot from the left side of the penalty area. Lori once again blocked the ball with his legs.

In an instant, there was panic in Lyon's penalty area.

In the 60th minute, Messi broke through on the right and passed the ball to Xavi, whose right-foot shot in the middle of the penalty area was blocked by the defender.

Lyon then replaced Delgado with Carlstrom.

Ten minutes later, Macon tripped Iniesta in front of the penalty area and was given a yellow card.

Alves' free kick was blocked by the wall and went out of bounds.

In the 82nd minute, Bodmore made a lob pass and Ederson shot from the right side of the penalty area, but was blocked by the defender again.

One minute later, Macon made a diagonal pass to the empty space on the left side of the penalty area, and Benzema shot with his left foot, but the ball went high.

Lyon then replaced Ederson with Kader Keita and Barcelona replaced Eto'o with Bojan.

In the 90th minute, Xavi made a diagonal pass to the empty space on the right side in front of the penalty area, and Bojan's low right-foot shot was blocked by Lori again.

4 minutes of extra time.

Guardiola replaced Iniesta, who was fouled several times, with Hleb.

But until the end of the extra time, neither Lyon nor Barcelona scored any more goals.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Lyon 6-2, and the Catalan team advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 6-3.

After staying to thank the team, Charles returned to the locker room with his teammates.

Valdez used his teeth to tear open the glove straps and then took them off with his hands.

Before he had taken off all his clothes, Valdez couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves, carefully untied the red ribbon and put it away.

When Charles returned to the locker room, he heard singing as expected.

"The world is ruled by me

The huge waves also surged because of my fate
Now I sleep alone at dawn
Wandering lonely on the road that once belonged to me

I used to go all in.

Savor the horror in the eyes of your mortal enemy

Listen to the people singing and cheering
The previous king is dead, the new king will last forever

At this moment I shake hands with the power meridian

In a blink of an eye, I realized that the palace walls are as deep as the sea

Suddenly I found my city
The base is scattered like salt sand and chaotic like dust..."

Charles didn't have to guess to know that it was Alves who was singing.

When he walked in, he saw that Alves was already dancing to the song.

The song "Viva La Vida" is from Coldplay, which is almost the best band in the British rock industry right now.

Their fourth album "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" released last year was a huge hit in 2008.

Coldplay also won the Biggest Release of 2008 award, and five singles from the album entered the top ten of the "Last.fm" chart.

The last time this was achieved was in 1964 when the legendary band The Beatles released their album Billboard.

People in Barcelona love rock and music.

Guardiola is one of those who was impressed by "Viva La Vida".

In addition to him, former coach Rijkaard and Cáceres also like Coldplay.

Guardiola attended their concert in Barcelona last year.

Seeing Charles and Busquets come in, Alves turned off the music, "Hey, Charles, how are you feeling?"

Ciel sat directly on the locker in the locker room and started to take off his shoes, "It's fine."

Valdez also put away his red ribbon, "It seems like this is the first time you've played a full game."

Xavi also hurried in with a basket of fruit. "Carles (Puyol) just had someone send some fruit. It's already washed. Charles, do you want to have one?"

"I'm fine," Charles shook his head, and when he saw Harvey come in, he threw his shoes aside, "I want an apple."

Xavi took an apple from the fruit basket and threw it over. Charles took the apple and started to eat it. "How is Iniesta?"

Iniesta was fouled 10 times in today's game. Iniesta took the apple thrown by Xavi and said, "Not bad."

Ciel watched Harvey handing out fruit and suddenly had an idea, "Let's play a game tomorrow."

Busquets turned to look at Charles, "What game?"

While eating an apple, Charles went barefoot and grabbed a football from the locker room. "It's just playing table tennis with your feet."

Harvey also sat on the cabinet, leaning back and eating a banana, "Then why not just play ping pong?"

"Come on, you'll definitely win. You've practiced this before."

Busquets ruthlessly exposed Xavi's plan.

In fact, many players, especially midfielders, have practiced table tennis.

Harvey had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender, "Okay, fine, let's fight with our feet."

"Then shall we go to the activity center tomorrow?"

Alves put away the speaker.

Valdez nodded, "I remember there were several ping-pong tables in the activity center."

Charles swallowed the fruit pulp in his mouth and said, "Let's play 'Football Table Tennis' tomorrow. Who wants to join us?"

"What do you mean come together?" Guardiola pushed open the locker room door and asked curiously.

……

The next day at noon, after lunch, Barcelona players gathered at the activity center.

Pike cleared his throat and took out his playing cards, "Draw a set of the same suit."

Soon the first group was drawn, Valdes vs. Eto'o.

Charles and other teammates sat aside with yoga mats and watched the football table tennis match of "goalkeeper vs forward".

Guardiola stood on the other side, serving as the referee with a smile on his face.

Charles held the watch with great interest, "Are you ready?"

Guardiola also took out a coin from his pocket and held it in his hand, "Who wants to guess?"

Eto'o was eager to try, "I guess it's positive."

Guardiola smiled and opened his palm, "It's the other side."

"I want the kick-off," Valdés smiled and took the ball from Charles.

After choosing his position, Guardiola blew the whistle as if nothing had happened.

"Beep——"

Valdés threw the ball with his hands and then headed it.

The ball was dunked on the ping-pong table and then bounced towards Eto'o.

Eto'o took a look at the ball, first stopped it with his chest, then kicked it with his left foot, and after the ball passed over his head, he took a step to the left.

With a shake of his head, Eto'o hit the ball towards Valdes again.

Valdés caught the ball with his right foot, adjusted it three times, and lifted the ball up again.

It was still a header, but this time, the ball flew towards Eto'o at a faster speed.

Seeing that the ball was a little off, Eto'o quickly moved to the right, headed the ball with his left chest, adjusted the landing point of the ball, and shook his left ankle.

"boom."

The ball hit the table again and bounced towards Valdes.

Valdés stepped back quickly, picked up the ball awkwardly, and dribbled it towards Eto'o again.

But this time he didn't control the strength well and the ball hit the ground directly.

Valdez held his head in frustration, "No——"

Guardiola blew the whistle, "Eto'o scores a point."

After a burst of laughter, Eto'o picked up the ball and attacked Valdes again, "Hahaha, let's continue."
