Chapter 236 All-Star Team, Maradona Team VS Ronaldo Team! [Transition Chapter]

"There's a charity match at Camp Nou, do you want to attend?"

Casillas shook his head: "Forget it, I have to recover from my injury. The World Cup is about to start and I can't get injured again!"

Casillas suffered a serious injury last year, which caused him to miss many games for the national team and club, and his starting position in Real Madrid was also taken away by Diego Lopez.

Lin Quan expressed his understanding and then looked at Ramos beside him.

Ramos waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I am a person who loves to study. I have to seize the time to study during this period!"

Lin Quan looked Ramos up and down. Ramos was covered in tattoos and was about to turn 27, yet he was still pretending to be a good student.

The sense of disobedience is too strong!

"Don't disbelieve me, look, I even brought the book with me!"

Seeing that Lin Quan didn't believe it, in order to prove his innocence, Ramos quickly took out the geography and ecology textbooks he carried with him.

Lin Quan took it curiously and flipped through it, and found that it was full of study notes written in a crooked manner. He began to believe what Ramos said.

"What are you looking at? I remember these seem to be middle school textbooks?"

Lin Quan received compulsory education in Spain, so he had an impression of the two books in Ramos' hands.

Ramos scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Casillas on the side mercilessly exposed Ramos' past:

"He's going to take the compulsory education exam in February. If he fails this time, he'll have to take it again next year!"

Ramos, high school exam?

Shouldn't this be completed before the age of 16? No one would really wait until the age of 27, right?

No way, no way?

Lin Quan was shocked by Casillas' words, but he couldn't help feeling a little happy when he thought that Ramos was almost 27 years old and still hadn't obtained the compulsory education certificate.

Casillas smiled and asked Lin Quan: "Lin, do you think Ramos can pass this time?"

Lin Quan glanced at Ramos. It was obvious that Shui Ye was reading and taking notes so seriously besides the games and training. He was putting his heart into it.

So he said, "Of course not, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed until I was 27!"

He put extra emphasis on the word '27 years old'.

"Haha, I think so too!"

The two of them laughed heartily.

Ramos stretched out his sandbag-sized fist and punched everyone: "Don't look down on me, I will definitely pass this year!"

"Okay, okay, you will definitely pass the test. Then you can go to the temple and burn some incense to Wenquxing, or get a tattoo on your body that says you will pass every test. That should be all right!"

Lin Quan said jokingly.

It was just a joke, but Ramos seemed to take it seriously and insisted that Lin Quan take him to burn incense to Wenquxing. Under Lin Quan's persuasion, he planned to tattoo eight words on his arm - Koi Possessed, Pass Every Exam! It seemed that he was really afraid of failing the exam, so he started to try all kinds of treatments.

No matter whether it works or not, just try it first.

There were more and more people in the rest area. Lin Quan saw former Manchester United and Real Madrid star Beckham and the red-nosed Sir Alex Ferguson in the crowd.

The two men entered the banquet hall one after the other, but there was no communication between them, as if the grudge between master and disciple had not been completely resolved.

"Hello, Lin, I didn't expect to see you here!"

When Beckham saw Lin Quan, he came over and said hello to him.

Although the two have never competed on the same stage, they both know each other's name.

When Lin Quan was young, many of his peers regarded the handsome Beckham as their idol.

"Mr. Beckham, you were my idol when I was a kid. I tried to imitate your scimitar again and again, but I just couldn't learn it."

Beckham smiled and said, "We can have a competition someday if we have time, but your elevator ball is already very powerful. I was deeply impressed by those winning shots."

Lin Quan then praised Beckham's 45-degree diagonal pass for its accuracy and elegance.

Beckham praised Lin Quan's 45-degree ground pass as imaginative and incredible.

The two of them exchanged some business compliments and their relationship became much closer.

When Beckham left, he specifically asked for Lin Quan's phone number, saying that he would go to Lin Quan for a discussion when he returned to the UK.

Lin Quan naturally agreed and even invited Beckham to watch the game at the Etihad Stadium.

Although Beckham has left Manchester United, he is a former Manchester United player after all.

So it is not easy for him to go to Manchester City's home stadium to watch the game in public, but he said that he would go to watch Lin Quan's game in the 28th round of the league when Manchester United played against Manchester City at home.

As soon as Beckham left, Ferguson and Mourinho came to the rest area.

Both Ferguson and Mourinho have coached Ronaldo, and both can be considered Ronaldo's mentors.

It's not surprising that they attended Ronaldo's party, but what is strange is that these two people actually got together.

Hasn't the relationship between the two of them always been bad? Seeing Lin Quan, Ramos and others, Mourinho's face was not very good.

After he left Real Madrid, Ramos once took advantage of his misfortune, so he has no good feelings towards Ramos.

As for Lin Quan, Mourinho did not hate him originally, he even admired him very much and once wanted to bring him to Chelsea.

But in the end, he failed. Not only did Lin Quan not join Chelsea, but he went to Manchester City and became his direct competitor in the league, and perhaps even his biggest competitor.

Compared to Mourinho's serious expression, Ferguson greeted Lin Quan very friendly.

"Lin, are you here for vacation?"

"No Sir, I also want to go on vacation, but there is no winter break in the Premier League, so I can only take time to come back to attend Ronaldo's party and attend the charity match at Camp Nou tomorrow."

"Oh? Is it the one organized by Maradona?"

The retired old man seemed to have developed an interest in this kind of competition, although the reason he retired was because his physical condition had deteriorated and he could no longer withstand the intensity of the work of leading a team in the competition.

But Ferguson has devoted his entire life to football, and if he is really asked to take some free time, he really can't stay idle.

Therefore, it is also good to lead the team to play this kind of friendly charity match and play the role of an old man in warming up.

"Yes, are you interested in joining us? We are still short of a coach!"

When Lin Quan heard that the other party was interested, he immediately took advantage of the situation and invited Ferguson to be the head coach.

Ferguson asked with a smile: "Why don't you ask your father to coach?"

Lin Quan's adoptive father is Guardiola. This is no longer a secret in the football world.

Given Guardiola's coaching level and his relationship with Lin Quan, if Lin Quan asked, Guardiola would basically not refuse, so Ferguson was very puzzled that they did not have a coach yet.

"I guess he won't be in a good mood recently, so I won't bother him."

Although Lin Quan did not say it explicitly, Ferguson was an experienced man and immediately guessed that it was about Kroos' transfer.

Let alone Guardiola, if this happened to someone else, they would probably be furious.

Guardiola was eating hotpot and singing songs, looking forward to the game honors in the second half of the season, when he was suddenly told that Bayern had sold the team's core midfielder.

He was very good-tempered not to fall out with Bayern on the spot! "Since you don't mind the poor coaching skills of a retired old man like me, then I will reluctantly accept this invitation, but I have to ask in advance, you will not choose to join Maradona's team and join forces with Messi, right?"

Given Maradona's age, he probably won't be able to play in the game, so he will most likely attend as a coach.

Messi is Maradona's favorite disciple, and he will definitely join Maradona's team.

Messi alone is enough to give people a headache, and if Lin Quan joins the mix, there will be no fun.

With just these two players' dribbling and breakthroughs, Ronaldo's team would probably be overwhelmed.

"Sir, you are too modest. Your coaching level is top-notch in the football world. I have been looking forward to listening to your teachings!"

Ferguson was flattered by Lin Quan's flattery and laughed and scolded:

"You are such a sweet-talker, so why didn't you come to Manchester United last year?"

Lin Quan was ashamed: "Sir, you have retired, why should I go to Manchester United?"

Ferguson sighed: "If you are willing to come to Manchester United, then I might not retire!"

There is no way to respond to this. At Ferguson's age, even if he tries hard to hold on, he won't be able to last for more than a few years. There is no way Lin Quan would gamble on such a thing.

Fortunately, Ferguson had a high EQ and did not continue to embarrass Lin Quan on this matter. The two exchanged a few words and then left.

Ramos and Casillas only breathed a sigh of relief after Ferguson and Mourinho left.

"If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come!"

Ramos looked at Mourinho's receding back, let out a breath, and said with some regret.

Lin Quan had long heard that there were many conflicts within the Real Madrid locker room and that the players were very dissatisfied with Mourinho.

It now seems that this statement is not groundless.

At least judging from the reactions of Ramos and Casillas, they really don't like Mourinho.

But this kind of thing is a secret within the Real Madrid locker room, and Lin Quan did not inquire too much.

A group of people were chatting when Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend Irina walked towards them with another young and beautiful woman.

Ramos looked up and glanced at the other person, and his eyes immediately couldn't move away. He decided to take back his previous words. Coming to this party was really the right decision!

Seeing Ramos' appearance, Lin Quan and Casillas also looked at him curiously.

C Ronaldo's girlfriend Irina is already considered a great beauty, but she is still far inferior to the one next to her.

This made Lin Quan curious: Who is this person next to Elena? "Gentlemen, the ball is about to start, don't you want to invite the ladies to dance?"

Elena said to the few people with a smile.

Ramos was the most active and immediately put aside unpleasant things such as studying, exams and Mourinho.

He stood up and invited the woman next to Elena:

"My beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance with me?"

Morata was also ready to invite the other party, but his action was one step slower than Ramos.

Seeing Ramos stand up, Morata could only sit down angrily.

The other party seemed a little hesitant and glanced at Lin Quan behind Ramos, as if she hoped that the person who invited her was this rising star in football.

However, Lin Quan sat there without moving, watching Ramos and Morata fighting for favor with a smile, and had no intention of joining in at all.

So she had no choice but to nod and let Ramos hold her hand and walk onto the dance floor.

"Who is this person?"

Seeing Morata's disappointed look on his face, Lin Quan asked him.

"No way, you don't even know who she is?"

Morata looked at Lin Quan in shock, as if he knew something extraordinary.

Lin Quan felt puzzled. There were so many people in this world, it was impossible for him to know every one of them.

"Um, you know who was the Miss World champion last year, right?"

"Could it be her?"

"Bingo, you got it right, it's her, Miss Megan Young!"

Well, I finally understand why guys like Ramos and Morata are so excited.

I don’t know who started this trend, but the girlfriends of football players are generally beautiful models or actresses.

What, my girlfriend too?

Oh, that's okay!

The dance began, and the men either went to find single women or to pick up their female companions.

When Lin Quan found Lily Collins, he discovered that there were two familiar faces around her - Emma Watson and Victoria Beckham.

I saw Beckham before, so it’s normal to see Victoria Beckham.

But Emma's appearance here really surprised Lin Quan.

Emma Watson captured the expression on Lin Quan's face, with a hint of smile in her eyes.

"Mr. Lin, can I ask you to dance with me?"

Others were men extending invitations to women, but she was the one who took the initiative to invite Lin Quan.

Lily Collins and Victoria both looked a little surprised.

Victoria looked thoughtfully at Lily Collins beside her, then at Lin Quan and Emma Watson, as if she was curious about how Lin Quan would deal with this situation.

Emma Watson is currently the hottest star in Hollywood.

The Harry Potter film series she starred in attracted countless audiences, and the role of Hermione she played made her the dream lover of countless boys.

Seeing that she took the initiative to invite Lin Quan, the men at the scene cast envious and jealous glances at Lin Quan.

Why don't I have such good luck? Why doesn't Miss Emma invite me? However, surprisingly, facing Emma's invitation, Lin Quan directly refused:

"I'm sorry, Miss Emma, ​​my dancing skills are terrible, so I won't make a fool of myself!"

Emma was stunned. This guy actually rejected her invitation? She had never failed before when she personally took action. This was the first time! Victoria on the side seemed to be surprised by Lin Quan's decision and couldn't help but look at Lily Collins a few more times.

It seems I need to spend more time with her and build a better relationship with her.

…

"Why didn't you accept Emma's invitation just now?"

At the edge of the dance floor, two rookies, Lin Quan and Lily Collins, were dancing awkwardly, occasionally stepping on each other's feet due to lack of coordination.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm not a good dancer."

As he spoke, he accidentally stepped on Lily Collins' foot again.

Lily Collins glared at him. That was definitely intentional.

However, she was very happy with Lin Quan's answer. While Lin Quan was not paying attention, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face.

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment. The little witch dared to attack me. Accept my righteous punishment! He pulled hard, and Lily Collins fell into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her.

…

January 22, Camp Nou.

Although it was just a friendly match, there were still quite a few spectators at the scene today.

All ticket revenue from this game will be donated to a charity fund to help ALS patients fight the disease.

There were many players attending this charity game, including current players and many retired players.

Maradona's starting lineup for the team was: Messi, Batistuta, Xavi, Ronaldinho, Veron, Matthäus, Nesta, Samuel, Cannavaro, Zanetti and Neuer.

Sitting on the bench were Di Maria, Mascherano, Neymar, Higuain, Iniesta, Aguero, Busquets, Otamendi, Pique and others.

Maradona did not play in the top five leagues for a long time. Except for three years in La Liga, he spent the rest of the years in Serie A, so there are many familiar faces in Serie A in his team.

Some of them are his teammates, such as Cannavaro, and some are opponents, such as Matthäus.

Matthäus is only one year younger than Maradona, but their conditions are very different. Maradona's body is so out of shape that he can hardly play football, but judging from Matthäus's warm-up movements on the field, it seems that there is still some gas in the tank.

It is worth mentioning that Aguero, who boasted before the game that he would "rebel" against his father-in-law, immediately became timid after seeing his father-in-law and obediently ran to Maradona's side to be a substitute.

As for the goalkeeper, Neuer stood opposite Lin Quan as he wished and guarded the goal for Maradona's team.

About half of Maradona's team's starting lineup were players who were retired or close to retirement. Obviously, Maradona did not field his strongest lineup.

The situation is similar for Ronaldo's team. The starting lineup is:

Lin Quan, Ronaldo, C Ronaldo, Kaka, Pirlo, Gattuso, Zidane, Cafu, Stam, Roberto Carlos, Buffon.

Sitting on the bench were Reus, De Bruyne, David Silva, Thiago Silva, Juninho Jr., Rivaldo, Fernandinho, Marcelo and Morata.

Judging from the strength on paper, Ronaldo's team is obviously stronger.

However, their starting lineup has fewer active players than Maradona's team, and their strength lies in their substitute lineup.

If they replace all the veterans with active players, they will have a great chance of winning.

But in a friendly match like this, no one should care about winning or losing, right?

The head coaches of the two teams, Maradona and Ferguson, shook hands in a friendly manner before the game. The referee of this game was Howard Webb, who had just won the FIFA Best Referee Award.

With Weber's whistle, the friendly match between Maradona's team and Ronaldo's team officially began.
