There is a dream called football

The Gaya training base is full of festive atmosphere, and Christmas is the most important holiday of the year in Europe.

There is a saying in China, whether you have money or not, you should go home to celebrate the New Year. In fact, it is the same everywhere. No matter how you spend this year, when Christmas comes, everyone will celebrate the holiday happily.

On the morning of December 24, the players came to the multi-purpose hall of the training center. The boss was coming that day.

It was agreed that the meeting would be held at 10 o'clock in the morning, but Pinto and Mourinho never showed up. Suddenly, two people came through the door, both dressed as Santa Claus, making the crowd laugh.

The two of them were Pinto and Mourinho. They took out some small gifts from their socks and distributed them to the players.

In Europe, giving holiday gifts is really about your heart. It can be as small as a pair of gloves or as large as an electrical appliance, but few people give money directly. This is due to cultural differences. Sending cards is the choice of most people.

What Li Qiao received was a card, a blessing written by Mourinho himself.

After handing out the gifts, Pinto walked to the center of the hall. He was so chubby that he really looked like Santa Claus. He wished everyone a Merry Christmas in Portuguese and English.

"Everyone should have received gifts. If you haven't received them, you can ask Jose for them."

"Ha ha."

"Don't worry, I won't stay too long. I know he is a nuisance. Players don't like to see their boss unless they want a salary increase."

There was another burst of cheerful laughter.

"We are now the best club in Portugal. Our operating income this year is also higher than last year. Of course, I think next year will be even better. All this is thanks to you, my dear boy, and your boss Jose.

.”

applause.

"Christmas in Portugal always feels like there is something missing. I like snowy Christmas, so I have already booked a flight to Norway. Goodbye kids, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, Jorge!"

Pinto is a "profiteer" and a good boss. Good bosses of European clubs all have the characteristic of managing financial power, but regardless of specific things, specific things must be delegated to the head coach.

After Pinto leaves, the place belongs to Mourinho.

Mourinho smiled and said: "What are you still doing? Open the champagne for me and let's drink and chat."

Maniche and Ferreira immediately opened two bottles of champagne, and Maniche had the sense to pour wine for his teammates.

"Don't be afraid if you get drunk today. I'll find someone to take you home."

Having said that, most people will still maintain restraint. After all, it is Christmas Eve, which is similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The glass in front of Li Qiao was filled with a large glass of champagne. His teammates were happy and drank together. Maniche patted Li Qiao and took out a bottle of something from his arms.

"What's this?"

"Vodka."

Then he glanced at Mourinho and said with a wicked smile: "I added half to Jose."

Champagne has an alcohol content of 5%, while vodka has an alcohol content of 40%. Drink this large glass...

Mourinho was also happy. He had never thought about it at all. He just thought the champagne was a bit exciting, maybe because it was of better quality.

Maniche smiled slyly and said, "After I finish drinking, I'll give him another drink."

After three glasses of wine, Mourinho got drunk and started talking about the love affairs of his youth.

"I'm telling you, when I was in Barcelona, ​​the girls there..."

"One time I went on two dates in one day."

…

Everyone was happy and started to fight Mourinho. Li Qiao felt like he was seeking death. We should meet again next year. Aren't you afraid of death by then?

Fortunately, there was also a conscience among the players, and that was Carvalho. The Portuguese defender who later followed Mourinho wherever he went, supported Mourinho and handed him a glass of water.

Li Qiao patted Maniche and said, "If something happens, don't expect me to hide anything for you."

sweat.

"We are good friends."

"Haha, I still want to play in the team. I don't want to be dismissed by the coach and put back into the B team."

Maniche smiled and said: "Don't worry, no one will know if I don't tell you."

"Will it?" Li Qiao expressed doubt.

Li Qiao was also thoughtful about Christmas gifts. He heard that Deco liked music very much, so the gift he prepared for Deco was a pair of headphones worth 300 euros, made by Sony.

Deco smiled when he got the gift, "How did you know I needed a headset?"

"Guess."

Of course Deco knew it wasn't that simple.

"Thank you, I like your gift very much."

Li Qiao knew that Maniche was a drinker, so what he prepared for him was a bottle of fine wine, a bottle of Chinese Wuliangye.

Maniche didn't know what it was at all, so Li Qiao explained it. Maniche didn't understand yet, but as long as it was something in the cup, it was OK. Anyway, what he wanted was that drunken feeling.

"Thanks, Joe."

Looking for an opening, Li Qiao went out to Team B. They were also having a Christmas party.

Li Qiao only prepared gifts for Fabio, Dada and the coach, so he could only ask Raven to pass the message on his behalf.

What he gave to Fabio was Deco's signature, which is what Fabio has always wanted, and what he gave to Dada was Carlos' jersey, which Maniche helped bring back when Porto played away to Madrid.

.

Raven's gift was given to him when he got home, and assistant coach Gomez's gift was also a bottle of wine. Because Li Qiao really didn't know what his hobbies were, it was safest to just give him wine. If you don't like it, just drink it.

When he saw Valais in the corridor, he was a little confused after drinking. He was very happy to see Li Qiao.

"Look who's back, my pride."

"Haha, I'm here to thank you, Tou."

"There is no need to thank me, you have achieved everything through your own efforts."

Li Qiao was very pleased, even a little excited, and took out the gift.

"What's this?"

"The Chinese knot is a gift of blessing. You can hang it in your car and it will bless you."

Valais thought it was very fresh, and the red object was very pleasing.

"Thank you. As it happens, I also have a gift for you."

Li Qiao was stunned for a moment, "Did you know I would come over?"

"I originally planned to ask Raven to bring it to you."

Li Qiao took it and saw that it was a small silver plate, about the size of a CD, but very delicate.

Portugal was once a maritime power. They learned the making of porcelain from China and the making of silverware from the Arabs. Now these have become Portuguese characteristics. This silver plate was made by Portuguese craftsmen.

"It's so beautiful, head. Thank you."

Valais asked Li Qiao to turn the silver plate over, "This is a Latin sentence, may God be with you."

Li Qiao gave Valais a hug.

At this time, he felt the emotion of Materazzi holding Mourinho and crying bitterly. Coaches and players often become friends of life and death.
