Chapter 13
Ferguson was so satisfied with the beautiful victory that he gave the players half a day off so that they could have a good rest and enjoy the joy of victory. His only request was that they should not produce the kind of reports that the media liked.
Giggs and his teammates returned to the locker room and planned to have a victory party.
"If you ask me, Van Nistelrooy, your shot today was beautiful!" Neville saw that Van Nistelrooy didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he spoke to encourage him.
Fanny raised his eyes and smiled: "Thank you."
Keane patted Van Nistelrooy on the shoulder to show his approval, then he looked around the locker room and found Cristiano, who had just showered and changed his clothes, and said, "Come along?"
Van Nistelrooy quickly suppressed the smile on his face and glanced at Cristiano with expressionless eyes.
In today's game, there is no doubt that Cristiano stole everyone's attention. The first goal was scored entirely by his personal ability, with a single shot in front of the opponent's small penalty area. It was so beautiful that even he himself could not feel more jealous.
Van Nistelrooy did not play comfortably and felt like he was being suppressed. Although Ferguson told him that nothing had changed and he still had the first ball possession and the first penalty taker in the team, he knew in his heart that the Scottish coach in front of him did not say that qualifier - temporary.
Nothing has changed for the time being.
Cristiano has just been at Manchester United for one season, but he has shown no signs of being a young player. His mature style of play has amazed more than one person. So what does he do in the future?
Ronaldo's ambition is clearly visible to everyone. The 18-year-old boy has no intention of concealing it. He wants to be the prince of Old Trafford, not a minister who is suppressed underneath.
Van Nistelrooy realized that a panic was spreading deep in his mind. This shouldn't be the case. Now was his best time. His skills had matured, he had enough say and possession of the ball, and he should have created his own dynasty at Manchester United instead of being jealous or even afraid of a child.
The change in Van Nistelrooy's expression was not obvious, but Ferdinand still saw it.
He walked over, put his arms around Ruud van Nistelrooy's neck, pressed him hard, and laughed softly, "Rud van Nistelrooy, you and he are completely different people, you understand? I think that with two strikers like you, Manchester United will have no problem winning those championships, provided that we are a team. Do you know what I mean?"
Van Nistelrooy shook off Ferdinand's arm and said, "The championship belongs to Manchester United. This is my goal."
"Very good." Ferdinand spread his hands, "We have reached an agreement."
Cristiano was stunned for a moment after hearing Keane's invitation. He remembered that when he first joined Manchester United, he had never received a similar invitation. However, he still shook his head and smiled and refused: "Thank you, but I have something else to do. Have fun."
Kakakakakaka.
Cristiano grinned at his teammates. The sweetness of being publicly protected by his lover but only known to himself made him feel so happy throughout the whole process that he was happier than if he had scored a goal.
He was in a good mood and gave each teammate a warm hug, including Ruud van Nistelrooy: "I'm leaving first!"
Keane was caught off guard and hugged tightly by the boy. Then he saw that other teammates were also suddenly attacked, and each of them had a strange look of confusion on their face.
Cristiano almost never hugs his teammates one by one in the locker room. Besides, this is not a win for the Champions League, so what is there to be so happy about?
But the boy's joy was infectious. Even Giggs couldn't help but smile and curse: "This kid!"
"Wow... do you think he smells good?" Rooney asked suddenly, as if in a dream. "Actually, I wanted to say this before. He always has a scent on him. I can smell it every time he runs on the court. I don't even need to look where he is to find it."
"Nonsense." Neville laughed.
Fanny touched his nose. He was stunned when Chris rushed over and gave him a hug. Didn’t he know about their awkward relationship now? But don't tell me, Chris smells really good.
"Maybe it's because he used a lethal amount of scented hair spray." Fanny snorted.
Everyone laughed.
Cristiano didn't care what his Manchester United teammates were laughing at. He almost couldn't wait to run out of the locker room.
A new message popped up on the phone: [K: Nice kick, Cris, proud of you. p.s., does your leg still hurt? 】
Cristiano grinned, and when he returned to bed, he immediately called: "Kaka!"
The young couple talked on the phone all night long.
Milan was playing away, and Kaka's temporary roommate Inzaghi later revealed that Kaka occupied the bathroom for most of the night, and he even had to go to the Ukrainian next door to borrow the bathroom.
The next day, when the members of the Milan male model team were having a group breakfast, Nesta suddenly laughed maliciously: "Let me take a look at today's headlines - Manchester United's new star refuses to be mentioned together with Milan's golden boy Kaka, and his annoyance is unclear? Kaka?"
Suddenly, the entire players' restaurant became bustling. Who in AC Milan doesn't know that Manchester United's Ronaldo and their little prince of San Siro are good friends? It's so funny that there is such a headline report!
Kaka took a closer look and saw that in the photo below the title, Chris's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were surprisingly bright, his mouth was slightly open, and his hand holding the microphone was particularly tight. The media also magnified the picture and circled it to highlight it, using it to prove the conclusion that he was "annoyed."
He glanced at the news content below and smiled unconsciously.
He could fully imagine Chris's surprise when he heard this question without any preparation. Those eyes, which were described by the media as "full of desire to compete with Milan and Kaka", clearly showed more surprise.
No wonder Chris was so excited last night. Kaka bit his lip unconsciously and asked Nesta to send him the news link with a smile. He had to save this photo.
Soon, Kaka received a call from Mendes who was somewhat frustrated, explaining that Cristiano was not what was rumored in the online news - although he knew that Cristiano and Kaka were good friends, but as far as he knew, the two of them did not behave like good friends at all! We hardly even met each other, let alone socialized.
Mendes even began to wonder if the kind-hearted Brazilians couldn't bear to refuse and gave Ronaldo a call, while the overly enthusiastic Portuguese simply regarded this as friendship.
As for him, maybe Kaka just needs an agent? Or maybe it’s the same reason, you just can’t bear to refuse?
Mendes felt that he was getting closer to the truth. No matter what, he definitely didn't want his two stars to become mortal enemies who hated each other!
He had to explain something for Cristiano, he knew Cristiano was extremely proud, and the tabloid report was most likely true.
Mendes did not communicate this matter with Cristiano in advance. He planned to start with the good-tempered Kaka and explain it for Cristiano first. After the boy calmed down, he would communicate with Cristiano.
Kaka couldn't help laughing as he listened to the agent on the other end of the phone trying to remain calm and explain in a nonchalant manner. The Mendes at this moment was far from the Mendes he knew in his previous life.
The first time he met Mendes in his previous life was at the press conference when Cristiano signed with Real Madrid. The shrewd and capable agent had a pair of eagle eyes that seemed to see through everything. Who would have thought that he would be like this a few years ago?
He interrupted Mendes: "Mendes, I know, I know Cris, you don't have to worry, it's meaningless."
Mendes was almost moved to tears. Kaka was so gentle and considerate: "I'm just worried that those unscrupulous media will sow discord between you."
"The relationship between Cris and me will never be affected by a third party, and he and I know this very well." Kaka said with a smile, "Mendez, you can rest assured that Cris and I will never be provoked to break up, I promise you."
Mendes felt a little dazed as he listened. He felt as if he was in the church, as Cristiano's old father, about to hand Chris's hand to Kaka.
But there is no need to be so serious.
After the call with Kaka ended, Mendes called Cristiano to explain the new reports.
To his surprise, Cristiano muttered angrily on the other end of the phone: "Slander! Rumors! How could I not like Kaka?!"
"Well, Cristiano, I think the media means that you don't like being compared with Kaka, not whether you like Kaka or not?" Mendes explained.
"I would love for the media to put Kaka and I together! Mendes, you have to help me explain this clearly." Cristiano told his agent seriously. He hoped that the media would talk about it more, and it would be best if they could tie the two of them together right now and put the mark of Cristiano Ronaldo on Kaka's name.
"I'm so angry. Are these media outlets blind? Can you see from this photo that I'm angry?" Cristiano was still angry.
Mendes pinched his brows, not knowing why the outcome of this conversation had become so weird. He took a breath and said perfunctorily, "Maybe it's because you usually act as if you're saying - [Don't put me together with others, I'm much better]."
Cristiano: “…”
He thought that he had not behaved in such a bad way in this life.
- However, in fact, the Bernabeu King's sense of superiority and the aura of ownership of victory cannot be concealed at all, not to mention that Cristiano has never been a good actor.
Even if he tried to appear as low-key and humble as possible, it might only make others more angry.
Cristiano muttered quietly: "I didn't."
"Come on," Mendes interrupted, and he confirmed with Cristiano again, "So, if the media mentions Kaka in front of you in the future, you won't be angry?"
"God, of course not!" Cristiano quickly replied.
"That's better," Mendes said.
Cristiano added: "Even if someone wants to do an interview with me and Kaka in the future, I can give it to him for free."
"Tsk." Mendes was amused by Cristiano. The condescending tone in the boy's words made it seem like an interview with him was worth 8 million euros.
He was kind enough not to laugh at me, but just said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll remember that."
"Remember this." Cristiano reminded worriedly.
"knew."
Mendes will definitely regret the promise he made casually today, because the word "Kaka" is like a walking trap for Cristiano's interview, and he wishes he could cover Cristiano's talkative mouth.
What's even more frightening is that even if he banned the explicit ones, he couldn't stop Chris from letting out a few sentences from time to time in the interview that didn't mention Kaka but were full of Kaka.
Oh my god.
