Chapter 122 hapter 122
On the plane to Madrid, Ozil was a little uneasy. To be honest, as a player who likes to stay in the Bundesliga, especially a player who can’t even speak English, I really don’t know if it’s a good idea to come to La Liga. s Choice.
In particular, he is about to go to Real Madrid, which has been turned into a "superstar grave" by madness... The only thing that makes him feel a little relieved is that he is not a superstar yet, and in the eyes of the public, he is a "substitute" member More or less the pressure is not that huge.
"Has my residence in Madrid been arranged?" Ozil confirmed with his father again and again. God knows that his Spanish learning progress has slowed down to such an extent that he got a strange smile from his father, "If you say If you are a good tenant who knows German and speaks Spanish, yes, Real Madrid has already arranged it for you!"
After the arrangement, why do you have to laugh so weirdly!Ozil leaned on the seat pitifully and stared at him with wide eyes, but this time the target of his pitiful gaze turned away decisively and muttered, "Real Madrid said he can even help you with English. .”
"Wait, why does the tenant you mentioned seem to have some unusual status?" Ozil widened his eyes in horror. This feeling of being the only one kept in the dark is really not very good.It is estimated that my father is still my own father, and it can be regarded as giving Ozil an inoculation in advance, "He is a person who will help you integrate into the team—"
"Mu, Mourinho?"
"Alvarez!"
The two people said in unison, but they gave completely different answers. Ozil couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the answer he gave. After the horrifying answers, it was clear that Francisco Alvarez was a... much more receptive answer.
He couldn't understand how his son could come up with such a terrible answer. The old Mr. Ozil planned to give his son instructions based on the Fran information he had investigated before, but these words were completely choked in his throat.Come on, why are you asking so many, what's the use?Maybe, as Mourinho said, the Real Madrid general likes his son's personality...?
...Well, even though he is his own son, I have to say that he is indeed as mysterious and unfathomable as rumors in the industry.
Ozil kept repeating the joy of "not living at Mourinho's house" and the fear of "living at the house of the vice-captain of Real Madrid", and finally sent to Francisco Alvarez after being picked up by the team staff Home.The usher was obviously assigned this job because he was very active. After explaining the series of matters that Real Madrid had arranged for the press conference, he comforted Ozil, "Fran is a good talker, you don't have to be too talkative. Worried." As he spoke, he used facts to prove his words, "I have worked in the club for several years, and I really haven't seen him rushing to anyone."
In exchange for Ozil's still slightly nervous smile.
The car drove into the residential area, and the usher familiarly introduced the surrounding environment to Ozil and his father who accompanied him, "The house just passed by was Alonso's house, and the houses of Kaka and Ronaldo are very close. , but we can’t drive there for the time being. Igor lives very close to Fran, and he will definitely take you to the captain’s house as a guest when he comes back... oh oh oh, we’re here.”
The car pulled over, and before Ozil got out of the car, the courtyard door was opened from the inside, so when Ozil looked up from the car, he happened to see Fran, who was wearing casual clothes and holding a puppy in his arms. Hearing Franke greet him very naturally in the next second, he put the puppy at his feet and went to help the staff over there with their luggage.
Ozil has imagined this kind of scene a few times, and it is no different from the landlord he expected, but replacing everything with Fran's face, and perhaps adding Fran's status in Real Madrid, always makes Ozil feel awkward Very.But now is not the time to think about these things. Ozil hurried over to carry his own luggage, so he wouldn't really let the future deputy team do it himself.
Speaking of which, the last time I saw this guy was in the semi-finals of the World Cup. At that time, as the main central defender of the Swedish team, he was the key research object of the German team.It's just that at that time, the research was on football skills, and no one specifically talked to me about how to build a good relationship with Fran.
But just like what the staff said, it seems that Fran is really easy to get along with outside the court.Thinking about it, Ozil dragged his suitcase and followed Fran, who was holding two cardboard boxes in his arms, to his residence for the next six months.
Frange put the two stacked boxes in the living room with great ease, and turned around to greet Ozil, "Put your things here, and I will guide you to familiarize yourself with the environment first." He seemed to feel that Ozil was a little bit Restraint, but also in a gentle tone, "You can tell me if you think there are any shortcomings, or make a list and I will take you to buy them. Don't be embarrassed."
Ozil smiled and nodded without saying anything, but he kept feeling in his heart, "Oh, he looks very gentle and easy to get along with, thank God, and it's even more fortunate that he seems to speak good German."
Fran, who "speaks German well," glanced vaguely at the small note in his hand, and nodded in his heart for the remarks just now.

Real Madrid's first warm-up match against Mexico before the start of the season is in San Francisco in early August.This is Mourinho's first game after taking charge of Real Madrid. He chose to put the newly transferred Pedro Leon into the starting lineup with Canales. He was later than them, and he was far from running in with the team, so that although he was also taken to San Francisco, he was not allowed to play.
If Özil were to say, it would definitely be a good choice for Real Madrid to arrange himself in Forlan's house.It is always difficult for him to integrate into his new teammates because of his language barrier. Fortunately, although Fran will not bring up a topic every time, he will think about many things very comprehensively.For example, before the flight from Madrid to Los Angeles this time, Fran, who took the position of "vice captain" and had to manage a lot of nosy affairs, first asked Benzema to bring his new teammates, and then went to talk to Casillas himself.
When Ozil boarded the plane and was still struggling with who his companion would be next to him for the next ten hours, Benzema sat next to him first.As a member of the team who studied Spanish hard last season to avoid inconvenient communication within the team, the Frenchman can better understand the feelings of his new teammates at this time, so the two can more or less talk together.Ozil heaved a sigh of relief. Before he could stutter and ask in English, he saw Forlan who boarded the plane later and patted Benzema on the shoulder, "Karim, why are you sitting here?"
Benzema made a face at Ozil and stood up obediently, "Fran, I think you are partial." Fran was staring at the inexplicably full luggage rack in a daze when he heard Benzema's words , he glanced at Benzema amusedly, "How do you say?" By the way, he noticed that Ozil might be because the luggage rack was full of unpacked backpacks, and said casually, "Mesut give me the backpack, and I will give it to you." you put."
"Look! I didn't see you speaking French to me when I couldn't speak Spanish a year ago!" Benzema made a strange look, but Fran knew that this hidden teammate was a multi-national teammate. The young language expert was completely joking at this time, so while carrying his own suitcase and Özil's backpack and walking back, he turned around and cursed in Swedish, "Look at how stupid you are."
Benzema naturally didn't understand, not only him, but half of his teammates were stunned by Fran's sudden words from his hometown.But seeing Fran go to Alonso's side to put his luggage, Benzema patted Ozil on the shoulder and left.Ozil did not expect that his little friend Benzema would just come over to say hello, and when he saw Fran, who had left and returned, he put his arms on the seat and smiled at himself, "Hi, we meet again, and you will be by my side for the next ten hours. It's me again, don't give up on me."
In fact, this seat was specially arranged by Fran before boarding the plane. He just felt that it would be too torturous to sit together for more than ten hours without knowing the language.Cassie thought it was funny at the time, "The head coach obviously asked you to take a roommate. You are worrying about raising a son." Fran smiled and said nothing, but if he had to say it, he just felt that Ozzie I came to Madrid alone with a language barrier, and my character is far less smooth than Benzema. This is really difficult for a young man who is only 21 years old. It is fate that the two of them were arranged together. help.
Fran, who didn't realize that he had somehow entered the veteran cadre mode, sat there patiently and listened to Ozil. After getting along for so many days, Fran also found that Ozil was not reticent but just unfamiliar at first.Sometimes Fran can't understand Ozil's German with some accents, but just by looking at Ozil's expression, Fran somehow feels that he can guess the general idea.
Ramos, who was sitting with Ronaldo, watched the interaction between the two with interest for a while. Behind him, Benzema whispered to Ramos in the seat, and made another mean speech, "Isn't it? Feel like you’ve fallen out of favor, Sergio?” Ronaldo was fiddling with his phone, and when he heard what Benzema said, he smiled and glanced at Ramos, “Don’t worry about Sergio, your defense is all the same. .”
Higuain, who was sitting next to Benzema, interjected, "Or you can just play as a striker."
Ramos, who was inexplicably attacked by several strikers, was not annoyed. After all, he was no longer the "defense boy" who needed Fran's protection at the press conference a few years ago. "I just think he is very lucky. Yes, nothing else." After finishing speaking, Benzema behind him patted his head gently, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, telling him not to talk nonsense.
But who of them Ramos said didn't think so?Ozil is a temporary substitute for Real Madrid because of Kaka's injury. This is all because of his excellent performance in the World Cup. He came to Real Madrid at the age of 21. Because of the language barrier, the head coach arranged him at the vice-captain's house. Let him adapt to the environment while helping him integrate into the team.Canales, who was also newly transferred, is only nineteen this year, and he has not seen such treatment.
However, the outside world still focused more on the warm-up match. Canales scored the first goal for Real Madrid in his debut. After that, Mexico and America overtook the score with two goals. Fortunately, Ronaldo and Higuain both scored. Surprisingly, a small victory over Mexico and America also prevented Mourinho's first game from failing.
Forlan, who sat on the bench to watch the whole warm-up match, felt that Mourinho might not even plan to play himself in the next game against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
What is he trying to do?
The author has something to say: Well, as the deputy team of Real Madrid, Forlan has entered the veteran cadre mode...

(For a while, I really wanted to write about Fran’s head coaching career with Fran as the main character after this article was finished...but then I felt that there was not much to write about, and it was almost enough to write two competitive articles, so I gave up.
Later, I thought I could post a special episode when the author has something to say, hhh a serialized episode)
