Volume 4 Chapter 81 Goodbye, South Africa

Wearing a colorful African grass skirt, the enthusiastic Shakira sang the famous theme song of the World Cup in South Africa "African Moment" again, and the audience was dimmed.

Mark Qin took a look at the form for a while, and then returned to the locker room accompanied by the team doctor. He will continue to apply cold compresses, which will help avoid secondary strains.

When he returns to the UK, he will have to go to the hospital for a more detailed examination to determine how long he needs to rest and how to make a recovery plan.

But naturally he doesn't need to worry about this aspect, Jonathan has already arranged in advance to invite the best sports rehabilitation expert from the United States, and Xia Tian will be solely responsible for his treatment.

And according to his original itinerary, after returning to the UK to celebrate, he will go to Gran Canaria for vacation. Gran Canaria is located in the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest of Morocco. , sunshine, beach, is a well-known resort in Spain.

After being injured, it was more suitable for Ma Keqin to go there. Apart from basking in the sun and taking a walk by the sea, it was very quiet and would hardly be disturbed by other activities.

The closing ceremony went very quickly, and it was completely over in less than half an hour. When the fireworks rose, everyone cheered, South Africa, goodbye.

When Capello came in to ask Mark Qin to go to the press conference, he had already fallen asleep with ice cubes on him. After a month of nervousness, he was suddenly ecstatic. After the emotions passed, the fatigue would hit like sea water. If he hadn’t had to Participating in the press conference, Capello really didn't want to wake him up.

"Ah?, ah..." When the team doctor woke him up, he yawned in a daze, "Boss, I'm sorry, I fell asleep. Do you want to go to the press conference?"

Capello nodded, and asked with concern: "How is it, is it okay?"

"No problem, wait a moment for me to wash up." He sat up, and the team doctor helped him remove the ice cubes on the back of his thighs. He felt icy and numb, but the pain was much relieved than when he was just off the field.

After simply washing and tidying up, he and Capello walked along the aisle to the press conference hall. There was an endless stream of people who greeted him along the way and needed him to stop and talk, including Bobby Charlton and Lineker. Such a British football star.

In any country, there are actually some influences related to society. In British football, seniority was also very serious in the past, but the environment is getting better and better now, but it does not mean that it can be completely eliminated.

The reason why Mark Qin has not been exposed to those is because he completed the triple jump from Liverpool at the beginning, the youth team, Liverpool, and the national team.

Not only the old Haiwei, Gerrard, and Carragher supported him all the way, but also Bobby Charlton behind him, coupled with his solid performance, many England stars did not win in front of him, but Not how gentlemanly they are.

In football, no matter the club or the national team, there are many fights because of a little friction or drinking a little wine.

Maybe there is no major conflict at all, but when you are successful and famous in your 20s, and spend money like water, you think too much if you expect this group of people to think highly of anyone, and it is easy to cause friction when you are together.

Therefore, Mark Qin has always been very polite to celebrities like Bobby Charlton, Lineker, and McManaman, and he will not take a big because of some achievements. , you have to grow trees at ordinary times.

After making an appointment with Bobby Charlton to go back to England and have a drink at his house, Mark Qin and Capello finally arrived at the press conference.

"Mr. Capello, Mark, just now Mr. Bosque and Casey said that England stole the victory from them. They thought that the referee's penalty scale in the second half was too loose and favored England, which led to their loss. You have Do you have anything to say?" As soon as they sat down, countless reporters asked the same question.

Capello straightened his glasses, looked very relaxed, and said jokingly: "If I remember correctly, the referee gave us more yellow cards than Spain in the second half. How can we talk about being lenient?"

"I also don't agree with the word 'steal'. Our players are full of fighting spirit. They gave everything for the victory. The trophy is the reward for all our sweat."

A pretty female reporter stood up at this time and said aggressively: "But don't you admit that you were brutal in the second half? If there was no football, I would have thought it was a wrestling match. In just 20 minutes, you all 12 fouls, an average of one every two minutes, it's football going backwards"

Ma Keqin took a closer look, and suddenly felt a little familiar. This seemed to be Cassie's girlfriend Caponero, nicknamed "Cat Big Mouth".

Later, because of Cassie's status in Spain, she was once known far and wide to dictate to the football circle and Real Madrid, and she did not make trouble for Cassie, but Cassie still loves her as before.

This is to find a place for her boyfriend, he said with a smile in his heart.

Mark Qin and Capello looked at each other, and he said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Capello, if you ask as Cassie's girlfriend, I will regret the result. Cassie is the best woman in this world. One of the greatest goalkeepers, he is also the captain of Spain, I respect him a lot, and hope he will get out of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible, this is what every professional player who walks on the field needs to face”

"If you are a football reporter, I can only say sorry that your current status cannot define the style of football. Football is an all-round confrontation, including body, technology, spirit and intelligence. I think The final was very exciting, both of us were committed and gave our all, we were very close, any result is possible, luckily we made it to the end"

"You..." Caponello was so stunned that he couldn't speak, so he sat down angrily.

The journalists in England shouted loudly. They have long been disgusted with the fact that Spain has played well and achieved good results in the past two years. Their reporters have followed suit and thought they were superior, and they always labeled others ugly. It seems that football is your definition. the same.

"Mark, you scored the lore, how do you feel, and do you now feel that you have become the king of the ball like Maradona, and your statistics are better than his", the next "Times" The reporter quickly stood up and asked.

If you don't hurry up, who knows how many questions he will be able to answer, now he is worth a fortune, and the headlines on the front page tomorrow morning will definitely come from his mouth.

"The lore is of course wonderful, especially this is the World Cup final. As for whether I am the king of the ball, I can't answer it, because I don't know what the king of the ball is. Now we generally call Pele and Maradona the former ball king. Wang, they are indeed great, but Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, Zidane, Ronaldo are also great and have won championships, why no one calls them the king of the ball?"

Pele has won three World Cups, but two of them had little to do with him, or did not play a major role. In 1986, Maradona should be a veritable king of the ball. The team captain, classic games, luxurious Data, leading the team to win the championship with his own strength.

But many people have done the same thing, and he found that the title "ball king" is only used by South Americans. Only those who are good at dribbling, have outstanding personal skills, and can pass a large area by themselves can be called "ball king"? , Mark didn't know much about it, and there was no answer to the seemingly simple question.

The status of Pele and Maradona is mostly due to the fact that Pele is officially recognized as the best player of the 20th century. Maradona was elected by online voting, with his unparalleled personal influence.

This has a lot to do with the differences in European and American styles. Europe has long formed a professional football talent training system, so even the most talented players are also very team-oriented.

But South America is different. Most superstars were born in street football in slums, and they have developed incredible dribbling skills and extraordinary personal creativity. In the era of advocating individual heroes, it is natural that South American superstars are more popular with fans and have greater influence.

When 11 people beat 11 people, not everyone is willing to watch it, but if 1 person kills 11 people, even if that person is not interested in football, he will feel curious.

In the end, this question was left alone, because no one can answer it if you look deeper, but in the eyes of the British media, his performance in this World Cup is no different from that of the world champion.

...

In the early hours of the morning, the England players boarded the flight back to London, England overnight with their packed luggage, saying goodbye to South Africa.

Holding the Hercules Cup, Ma Keqin also held three personal trophies, and returned with a full load!

All the way, the moon was bright and the sky was clear, and they fell asleep. After a whole day of tossing, they were already exhausted, and fell asleep one by one as soon as they boarded the plane.

At 6:30 in the morning, the flight from England arrived at London Heathrow Airport on time. A large number of police forces had been deployed outside the airport. Looking from the hanging windows, the crowd could not be seen at a glance.

"Guys, guys, wake up", Beckham actively acted as half of the team leader, he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "We are going home, when we get off the plane, we will be greeted by the whole of England. Biggest cheers, are you ready?"

A championship parade bus that had already been prepared was waiting at the side of the tarmac early. The FA arranged it very well. When they got off the plane, they didn't have to leave the airport.

"England", "Champion...", "Mark...", "Rooney...", from the moment Capello led the generals stepping out of the airplane ladder, they were destined to be heard by countless media and fans surrounded.

Despite the limited number inside the airport, countless people poured in. This enthusiasm is irresistible and will last all summer!

Capello walked out first and got on the bus. The second ones came out were Mark Qin and Gerrard who were holding the Hercules Cup together. At this moment, the cheers reached their peak.

The players came out in a single file, directly boarded the second floor of the parked bus by stepping on the hanging ladder, and then Gerrard and Mark Qin held the Hercules Cup, and the bus drove slowly, passing by the turbulent crowd , passed through the boundless shouts, and drove directly from the airport exit into the ring road.

They will circle the city for a week, and finally drive to Trafalgar Square in London for the final celebration. Numerous fans' private cars and OB vans follow them closely, and there are already several police cars clearing the way ahead. All the way unimpeded.

For England, this moment will be a national grand occasion, no less than the presidential election, and even more influential than the presidential election, because what football brings to them today is pure joy.

The Mayor of London and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom had already waited for the arrival of the bus on the temporary victory celebration stage in Trafalgar Square, London.

The square was already surrounded by fans flocking from all over the country. They held various slogans to praise England's great achievements in winning the championship.

One of the red super-long and super-large slogans is extremely eye-catching:

【Mark, the best one, unique, thank you for your great performance, welcome back...】
