Chapter 81 The final of the Toto Cup
After the race, Mark and Van der Fat were preparing to pick up the car in the parking lot. Mark's driving license has been processed, so he and Van der Fat and Mark can now drive cars. Fortunately, Mark prepared in advance to get the driver's license, otherwise Mark would be unable to bear it if the place where Mark lives is fifteen kilometers away from the center of Madrid.
Now Sylvia and Koros are not in Madrid. They both returned to Amsterdam, the Netherlands to prepare for the wedding of Sylvia and Van der Fate. Of course, Koros is just going to help. [bsp; "Mark, is it okay for us to go out to play in the evening? Sylvia and Du Chen are not at home, and it doesn't matter if we are at home." Van der Fate said to Mark in the parking lot.
It's okay for Mark to think about it. Since the competition has just ended, it's customary to take a day off tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if the two go out to play at night. After all, Mark hasn't really felt the nightlife in Madrid yet.
"Okay, but should we find a tour guide?" Mark said to Vanderfart.
"It doesn't matter. Musampa in the team is from the Ajax youth team. I have known him for a long time. It shouldn't matter if he asked him to take us to play. There is also the newly joined Jespe Glenshare from Ajax. It should be enough for the four of us." Van der Fate directly thought of a suitable candidate, and then called the two people. The two players said they had no objection. After meeting in the parking lot, the four of them drove to the city center of Madrid.
What Mark didn't know was that this would be the beginning of his pain, because Mark finally knew what a madman was. The most common complaints I heard in China were: Spain's day is so long that it was so long that it was so long that people lost their patience. In May, before others could wait for the real summer, it was already dark at 10 o'clock in the evening. At nearly 6 o'clock in the evening, the sun was still hot and burning, and many shops were still not open.
It is August now, but the sun is still eight o'clock and has not set yet. This is simply a miracle.
There is a word in Spanish that anyone who comes here must learn: siesta - a nap in Spain. In the hot sun in Spain all year round, the shops close at 2 pm and open again at 6 or 7 o'clock.
"Today I will take you to a private party, where ordinary people are not qualified to go," Musangpa said mysteriously to the three of them, making the three of them interested.
The four of them went to a villa in the rich area of Morasaha. Under the leadership of Musampa, the four of them entered the villa directly. This was a villa with a large area. When they entered the room, there were many people chatting under the dim lights around them, just like a small party.
And there are small bands playing soothing music around, which makes people feel very relaxed.
"Fernando, here." Mark saw Atletico's captain Torres and hurriedly shouted at him.
"Hey, Mark, Raphael, Jespey, you guys are here too." Torres seemed a little surprised to see Mark, Van der Fate and Glenshare coming here.
"It was Musampa who brought us here. Fernando, you came so fast," Mark said, but naturally, Musampa would need him to interpret.
"This is a private party held by Louis, and I was invited, but I was really happy to see you guys," said Torres.
Musampa translated to several people. Louis said that he was Ronaldo, which was a private party held by Ronaldo.
Originally, everyone on the road was driving, so they didn't chat. Naturally, they didn't know what kind of party Musangpa brought them to here, but they ran over because of curiosity.
Mark suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, and then said goodbye to everyone and went to the bathroom. After that, Mark was looking for everyone when he walked out of the bathroom. He found someone thinking about him coming over.
"Mark, your recent performance is surprising." The one who walked over was David Beckham of Real Madrid.
"Thank you, I'm your fan. Your free kick is simply amazing. I hope I can become a midfielder like you one day." Mark suddenly felt a little surprised that Beckham would actually say hello to him.
"You will definitely surpass me when you keep maintaining this state." Beckham smiled after hearing Mark's compliment: "I'll leave first, you have fun here."
After saying that, Beckham patted Mark on the shoulder and left.
Mark continued to search for Van der Fat and others around him to tell them what he had just seen Beckham.
"Raphael, do you know who I just saw?" Before Mark finished speaking, he saw several other Real Madrid superstars.
"Mark, come and see me to introduce you. This is Zidan and this is Gonzalez." Van der Fate introduced the people around him to Mark.
"Bra (you mean Spanish), Bra," Mark greeted Raul and Zidane.
To be honest, Mark really likes Zidane very much. Raul can only say that it is ordinary, because Zidane is already a fabulous character. I believe no one is not fascinated by Zidane's gorgeous footwork.
"I heard that he joined Madrid because of your reasons," Zidane said jokingly.
"Haha, because his wife is my sister, you know this..." Mark joked.
"Haha, we have something to leave first. I'm very happy to see you. Goodbye," Raul said to the two of them, and then he and Zidane left together.
"Raphael, why are you here by yourself," Mark asked Van der Fate after Zidane and Raul left.
"It seems that everyone is looking for their own entertainment projects. This is a party held by Ronaldo. There must be many beauties. Mark, are you interested in finding one?" Van der Fate said with a smile at Mark.
"No, I already have a family, but Raphael, you can go and see if there are any beauties you like. I will definitely not tell my sister." Mark pretended to be old-fashioned and then teased Van der Fate.
"I'm not that kind of person. You've misread me. I've been told by Sylvia to watch you well. My heart for Sylvia is simply a reference to the sun and the moon," Vanderfart said repeatedly.
Mark smiled and said nothing. He knew that Van der Fate would definitely not do anything randomly at this party. If he really wanted to do something randomly, he would definitely not bring him here. How could the brother-in-law bring his brother-in-law to prostitution?
"Welcome to my party. Everyone must have fun. We have countless beauties here. Don't let the beauties down." Ronaldo hugged two beauties on the dance floor and said to everyone.
"Ao..." There were many people shouting below the dance floor.
It was time for Ronaldo to come over with two beauties. Ronaldo now has a cigar in his mouth and wine in his mouth as if he was nouveau riche.
"Raphael, Mark, are you still used to it in Madrid? I heard that you have bought a house. Madrid is much better than Amsterdam." Ronaldo said vaguely now. He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, but he spoke Dutch, which both Mark and Van der Fate could understand.
"It's not bad, the party atmosphere is good," Mark said.
"Young man, you should know that making money is for enjoyment. See how much I enjoy it. Okay, I'm going to enjoy my delicacy, meet." After that, Ronaldo walked upstairs with the shoulders of the two beauties in a daze.
"This fat man is in good health," Mark said with a smile to Vanderfate beside him.
"He wasted his talent, otherwise his achievements would be higher," Van der Fate said with a critic's expression.
Mark can be regarded as a fanaticism of seeing the Madrid party, even better than Amsterdam.
At the party, many beauties came to chat with Mark and were rejected by Mark. These beauties Mark felt that they were not as beautiful as their wives.
It was already past two o'clock in the morning after the party, and Mark was about to drive home, but Van der Fate interrupted him
"Nightlife in Madrid has just begun now, let's go eat something."
Now there are no signs of Musampa and Glencier. They should be doing piston exercises with a certain Spanish girl.
Mark and Van der Fate drove to one of the best Spanish potato cakes in the center of Madrid, drank cider, and then finished eating and went to the next one, tasted the delicious fried pork ears and roasted mushrooms, and drank the sweet white wine from the restaurant.
After enjoying these delicacies, it was already past three in the morning. Mark is no longer sleepy now. Perhaps the time when he was most sleepy has passed, but now he is in a state of energy.
However, what surprised Mark was that the streets of Madrid are still crowded with people, and the crowds in various stores are still in constant force, which made Mark admire the powerful nightlife in Madrid.
Now Mark and Van der Fate finally returned home, but Mark suddenly seemed to have insomnia. He lie on the bed and remembered Colos. Maybe it was because of the hot Spanish girl at the party today that Mark missed a little woman.
Since he couldn't sleep, Mark decided to get up and do exercise. At around four o'clock, Mark started to exercise in his gym. He only went to bed after knowing that Mark felt sleepy.
The final of the International Toto Cup is about to begin in a few days. It is really interesting to talk about Atletico Madrid's opponent Dortmund in the next World Toto Cup. Originally, Mark thought Dortmund was good. If nothing unexpected happened, Mark thought Dortmund would be his first choice for transfers, but for some reason, Dortmund actually revoked the offer, so Mark became a member of Atletico Madrid.
But it is said that no coincidence is possible. Dortmund and Atletico Madrid are both teams participating in the International Toto Cup this season. Both teams finally made it to the finals. Now only one team can participate in the final League Cup, so the round-robin match between the two teams can be said to be very important to both sides.
Atletico Madrid continues to be the order of the matches first and then home, first visiting Dortmund, and then returning to his home court. This order of matches can be said to be very advantageous.
Because you can compete for your opponent away first, if you return to your home court with the advantage of leading or away goals, you will have a great psychological advantage.
So when all Atletico Madrid people were happy when they learned that it was the order of the competition, they thought their luck was indeed better than Dortmund.
Moreover, the span of these two games is very large. The first game is August 10th and the second game is August 25th, which takes half a month in the middle.
During these times, Atletico Madrid can arrange some warm-up matches to play. After all, the more big the game you can get, the team's running-in level can be improved by one point.
Atletico Madrid is now the first to come to Dortmund. He is already familiar with the city Mark. After all, Mark has been invited by the Dortmund club to visit, and there are many places in this city that have left Mark's footprints.
"Mark, what's wrong with you? It seems you're in a bad mood." Van der Fat looked at Mark's mood.
"It's nothing. I just think some things are very interesting. I had a great chance of joining Dortmund at the beginning, but I didn't expect to join Atletico Madrid in the end. Now I will meet Dortmund in the Toto Cup. I wonder what the senior management of Dortmund would think. If I performed well in this game, would they regret the withdrawal of the offer?" Mark said to himself.
"This is nothing. They don't understand your value. You should be worth the salary, so you should use better performance to make them regret it even more," Van der Fate said from the side.
Mark nodded, he thought so too. Now Mark is ready to let Dortmund see that he missed himself, which is definitely their biggest loss.
However, I really regretted it in Dortmund, especially after Mark's recent performance in the Toto Cup was simply amazing, their board of directors began to reflect on whether he had really missed a player like Mark with huge appreciation potential because of Mark's salary problem.
Originally, the Borussia Dortmund club decided that after Mark's high salary, Mark was just a new player. Even if it was outstanding, the club would not have to change the salary structure because of him. Dortmund clubs should focus on youth training and use potential youth training players to make up for the shortcomings in the team's lineup.
However, introducing Mark was the promise made by the Dortmund board of directors to head coach Van Marvik, otherwise Van Marvik might not have joined Dortmund. He believes that there is no problem with Dortmund's offensive line, and the biggest problem is their defense.
Mark's mobility can make up for the Germans' relatively bulky technical movements, but unexpectedly, the Dortmund club did not introduce Mark in the end, and Sandy Olishe, who was introduced as Mark's substitute, was not a player of the same level as Mark.
So because this is a big fight between Van Marvik and Dortmund's board of directors, if it weren't for Van Marvik's contract, I would have wanted to leave directly.
"What kind of players do I have to use to limit him? Mark's performance this season has improved compared to last season." Van Marvik is also scratching his head now. He has no way to limit Mark's performance at all.
If you defend at the expense of offense, you will definitely be able to limit Mark's performance, but in this case, Dortmund's attack trident will definitely be dismantled, which is something Van Marvik doesn't want to see.
And if you want to defend Mark with all your strength without breaking up the attack trident, Van der Fate will ignore it. Van der Fate's ability to pass and threaten the ball is greater than that of Mark, and Atletico Madrid's forward Torres has a very large movement ability and fast speed. Dortmund is now tall central defender, and the problem of the slow turn of the tall central defender will definitely be caught by Atletico in the next game and magnified infinitely.
The current head coach of Atletico Madrid also has a lot of troubles. The only thing he has to worry about is naturally the control problem of Dortmund's 2.02-meter Giants center Jankoler.
Now the highest central defender in Atletico Madrid is the main central defender Baboro. Baboro is 1.92 meters tall, but there is still a height gap of ten centimeters against the giants Jankoler. Ferlando knows that this ten centimeter gap may determine the outcome of the game. Ferlando can only expect Baboro to complete the task well and prevent Jankoler from playing with his outstanding heading advantage.
Ferlando knows that Dortmund's head coach Van Marvik is a coach with rich coaching experience, so he must consider everything possible and try his best. Atletico Madrid has invested a lot of money this year and has introduced a lot of talented players.
His opponent Dortmund has done nothing in the transfer market. If he cannot qualify for the League Cup, the board of directors will definitely distrust him. Moreover, fans have high expectations for the team this season. If he can't play well in the first knockout match in Dortmund, although he cannot be sure that his team will lose, he has also taken a disadvantage in terms of the situation.
According to Ferlando's idea, it is best to draw Dortmund away, even if you lose, you have to take away a away goal and try to make a comeback at home.
