Chapter 25

The feeling of taking the blame for a country that he had no sense of belonging to was, well... a bit strange.

After he was reincarnated in England and became a descendant of second-generation immigrants, the name Zhou Liran was only used while his grandfather was still alive.

When he was young, his grandfather would hold him in his arms and teach Chinese. He was very happy to see him learn quickly. When he died, he held his hand tightly and left most of his inheritance to his grandson until Zhou Liran turned eighteen. Then you can take it out.

After Liz married Carter, she would speak Chinese to Zhou Liran at home at first. However, when Zhou Liran went to the Chelsea youth training camp and returned home, Liz didn't speak Chinese very much. However, Liz did not reject Zhou Liran's teaching. His half-brother Holt learned a few words of Chinese.

He didn't know whether his biological father, whom he hadn't seen since he was born, was dead or had something else going on, and he didn't ask because he didn't care. Once, when Liz seemed to want to talk to him about his biological father, Zhou Liran refused, saying that I knew that my biological father was Ultraman, and he could only be Ultraman.

Liz held his hand and remained silent for most of the night, and finally neither of them mentioned the topic again.

His grandfather came to England when he was young, married a foreign wife here, and gave birth to his mother, Liz, who gave birth to him. The old man did have feelings about his hometown, but Liz didn't have any because she grew up entirely in England.

When I arrived at Zhou Liran's place, he was the only one who grew up with the same situation as Zhou Liran, and he was the only one who could speak Chinese. Some children had no impression of China at all, and even inherited the mathematical talent of most people in England. clear.

Often at times like this, Zhou Liran would feel like he was outside the world, but then he suppressed this feeling and continued to live his current life indifferently.

He has absolutely no urge to return to China to find his relatives. His grandparents in his previous life would not have had such a hard life without him as his grandson, and his mother would not have died in the field where he played for more than ten years. The team does not lack a goalkeeper who can only stand.

He had nothing to worry about.

But although he really has nothing to worry about, just because of these memories, he can't feel a sense of belonging to the country where he has lived for seventeen years. Therefore, during the World Cup incident last year, he was the only one who When my stepfather wanted to scold me, he just said a few words.

But now I don’t feel embarrassed when I see Ronaldinho. Of course, I don’t feel pity. He just calmly stopped Mendes who was a little anxious and wanted to come forward to explain. Then he stood in front of the goal and looked up at him. Xiao Luo, who was opposite him, said, "If you were just like that, then you're really not that good."

Xiao Luo didn't need anyone's sympathy or pity.

Mendes reached out to cover his face with some annoyance. He regretted agreeing to Mourinho's proposal, but after seeing that the two of them had started practicing, he quickly took out his camera equipment and took a video of the two of them - Mourinho Neo said, look at the actual combat level of the two people and help them formulate a more suitable training plan.

Ronaldinho was moved by this sentence in the end: When Mendes went to talk to him about this matter, Ronaldinho didn't want to go at all because he didn't want to say any more words to a pure English goalkeeper, but when he saw Mendes hesitated when he handed over the title of the Iron Man in the newspaper, and then Mendes immediately took the opportunity to talk about Mourinho's proposal.

"You can go and see him and get a feel for it. He will start at Chelsea next season."

Then Ronaldinho came wearing a hat. He originally had a lot of ideas in his mind, but after ten goals he only had I had a thought: Could this guy's face really be made of iron?

"Iron Masked Superman," Xiao Luo became excited and glared at Zhou Liran in front of the goal, "I just kicked it casually, now you try this kick!"

"I didn't kick that kick well just now. Iron-faced Superman, if you have the ability, save my ball!"

"That doesn't count. Iron-faced Superman, you can try this again..."

Zhou Liran:...

PFA Player of the Year for the 2006-07 season, the Premier League's best player! The best player, FIFA's best team player of the year, but he is different, this kid is also used to irritating people!

He was originally immune to the name Iron Masked Superman. When they met just now, Xiao Luo called him Iron Masked Superman, but the reaction in his mind was to take the blame for the English, but this grandson, he did it in front of him, no, In front of Mendes and—camera, shit?

Zhou Liran pressed the football into his arms and walked directly to Mendes who was standing behind him, "Are you videotaping?"

"What's wrong with the video?" Seeing Zhou Liran leaving, Xiao Luo quickly reached out to stop him. , "Iron Mask, we haven't finished competing yet."

Zhou Liran glanced at Xiao Luo expressionlessly, "Endrit Carter, thank you."

"I know, but isn't Iron Mask your nickname? "Isn't that the nickname you got from someone else?" Xiao Luo snorted, "Isn't that you the Iron Man?"

Zhou Liran searched for Xiao Luo's nickname in his mind for a few seconds, and the first one popped out. It was the title that Mr. Carter often called and became widely circulated last year, "Diving Lo?"

Mendes' hands trembled, he quickly turned off the video and rushed between the two people, raising his hands, "No, no, no, calm down, calm down, You two should calm down, everything can be discussed, don't argue, don't argue..."

Help, he shouldn't believe Mourinho's lies...

Ronaldinho clenched his fists silently and breathed rapidly: " What did you say?"

Zhou Liran's expression was still calm, and it didn't look like he had just said a bad name in front of his face. "That's how you feel now when you called me Iron Man.

" Stop lying, you obviously didn’t react when I called you that for the first time, you just did it on purpose..."

"The best player in the English Premier League in the 2006-07 season, the best right midfielder in the UEFA team, Portugal The best football player of the year..." Zhou Liran interrupted Xiao Luo, opened his mouth and recited a series of awards, which completely confused Xiao Luo in front of him, "No matter how others slander you, you don't get any of the awards you deserve. Less, because they can't tell lies and deny your greatness with open eyes. Although I am also British and I regret last year's World Cup, but all I think about is that I will stand in front of the goal and hug you to play in the next World Cup. "Every time I score."

"Because it's you, that's why I'm not angry, because you don't know that I hate this title." Zhou Liran snorted slightly, "But you obviously did it on purpose. You hate me." "

Xiao Xiaoluo opened his mouth, a little at a loss, "You, you..."

"I'm sorry for calling you that. After all, I always thought that we were the same. If we were powerful enough, then you wouldn't. You need to use this method to get the penalty, and I don’t need to use my face to catch the ball to save successfully. You hate your nickname and I hate mine. I originally thought we could work together to get rid of these terrible nicknames, but Now...I'm sorry, it seems I thought too much."

Zhou Liran took a few steps back, then turned and left.

Mendes stood there with his mouth wide open, watching in a daze as Ronaldinho froze on the spot for a few seconds before catching up to Zhou Liran and grabbing him - is what Mourinho said true? Ritter, Ritter, this kid, he, he is really, really good...
