The most low-key superstar

Chapter 56
After the game, the media hyped up the conflict between Hoddle and Nicol, and they were disturbed for a while. Nichols and Hoddle became enemies by accident. Nichol felt that he was wronged. He wanted to explain to Hoddle, but Hoddle's refusal to be thousands of miles away dispelled this idea, he thought it was no big deal, time will tell everything, and he didn't think he would have no place in the team, and he would gradually get better Yes, but Hoddle didn't think it was a misunderstanding, he even thought that all of this was planned by Nichols, what purpose Hoddle hadn't thought of yet.

On the 30th, Tottenham continued to sit at home against the league opponent Portsmouth. Nickell entered the squad, but in the training the day before the game, he did not get the yellow vest representing the main force. I was very disappointed, but Nicole didn't say anything, just practiced silently. As usual, after the team's training, he practiced extra free kicks. Even though Yang Mi was still waiting for him at home, Nichols still extended the extra practice Given time, he forced himself not to think about those annoying things, and tried to turn his attention to free kick training.

Last season, Portsmouth was once considered by the fans to be a team that was bound to be relegated, but the team launched a quite successful attack wave after March, and thus became the lucky one to relegation, but originally thought that they would be second after the season. The old Redknapp who left for the first time was able to stay in the team smoothly.

This season, Portsmouth is regarded as a team that is likely to rise, because the owner of the club, known as the "Abu No. 22", the rich Russian businessman Gaidamak, like the owner of Chelsea, is also a "player" who does not hesitate to spend a lot of money .However, there was not much movement in the transfer market. The first to join the club was [-]-year-old Chelsea right-back Glenn Johnson (on loan), followed by England veteran Campbell and goalkeeper James who participated in the World Cup. Until other clubs can continue to maintain their status, the arrival of James has slightly eased the goalkeeper crisis.Among the players who left the team, it is a pity that the Argentine Dalesandro who was on loan last season, Redknapp tried his best to keep him, but he still went to Zaragoza, which is more suitable for him, so the strength of Portsmouth Not a big improvement.

Before the game, Hoddle asked the players to show their strength and must win the opponent. Tottenham have won three rounds. If they can't win Portsmouth at home, Hoddle will face a lot of pressure.

Nickel, who was sitting on the bench, watched his teammates' games seriously. Whenever he had a chance, he thought in his heart what would be the best way to do it if he was on the court. Since he was sitting on the bench, he should study hard. Read the game, Nicole is very thoughtful, and the idea of ​​turning something bad into something good is a constant presence in his character.

Due to the relatively large gap in strength between the two sides, and the three-round winless, Tottenham's players were much more motivated in this game. They took a 2-goal lead in the first half. Berbatov and Lennon each played for the team. Jiangong, in the second half, Hoddle rotated 3 people to play. After all, the team's game density has been relatively high recently. Tottenham scored a wonderful long shot by Jenas, while Portsmouth was only played by striker Todorov. Scored a face-saving goal.Tottenham beat Portsmouth 3:1 at home, and Nicole sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes.

After the league ended on the 30th, the team had a holiday. Because of the task of the national team, the league was suspended, and it would not restart until October 10th. Nickel thought he could enjoy the holiday, but he received the national team very unexpectedly. Nickel was very surprised by the call-up notice for the national team, thinking that he would never have the chance to be selected for the national team in the past two years, so when Mr. Halls handed over the fax of the Football Association to Nickel, Nicole stared at it with wide eyes. that newspaper.

In fact, McLaren and Nicole did not have any deep hatred, but Nicole complained about Beckham's defeat, which made McLaren not happy. The national team concentrated this time to prepare for the last warm-up match before the European Championships. In the game against Belgium at Old Trafford, due to the intensive game during this period, the players suffered serious injuries, and McLaren also wanted to ease the relationship with the media. It happened that there were not enough personnel on the left side. During this period of time, his performance was really good, especially the image of Nickel bleeding after scoring a goal left an impression on him, so he took advantage of the opportunity to recruit Nicole into the national team.

Holding the fax, Nichol was still very happy. Although he didn't like McLaren, so what, after the advanced national team had a good time, when he got home, he handed the fax to Yang Mi, "Baby, hurry up and buy a few more. Outfit, you have been selected into the England Football Wives." Yang Mi rolled his eyes.

The next day, Nicole drove straight to Carrington base to report.

After going through the formalities, Nicole came to the room assigned to him. There was already a person in the room. Nicole still knew him. It was Cole. At this time, Cole was in a good mood after transferring to Chelsea. Small, but he's happy to be on a new team that can win championships and pay well. "Hey, Nicole, I didn't expect it to be you, congratulations on being selected."

"Thank you, I am also very excited, and I also don't have a chance for these two years." Nickell and Cole chatted.Of course, their conversation is limited to football, after all, they are not familiar with each other.

On the training ground, as a rookie, Nicole first greeted everyone and introduced himself. He knew all the people inside, but only Gerrard, Rooney, Defoe, Robinson, etc., so it was very easy. Chat with them soon. In training, Nicole is on the substitute side. There is really nothing to say about McLaren's tactics. Although there are changes, they have not deviated from Eriksson's essence. He still pursues the wing Assault, keeping up with outflanking in the middle, although McLaren has increased the control of the midfield in the middle, but in the final analysis it is still a foil for the side.

However, Nicole's trip to the national team is destined to disappoint him. England beat Belgium 3-0, but Nicole did watch the game from the bench. Although there are many substitutions, Nicole did not make money By the end of the minute, the only time Nickel, wearing the No. 1 jersey, appeared on camera was when McLaren asked everyone to warm up, and he showed his face in front of the camera. Let Yang Mi come, otherwise I will lose my lord, the team disbanded that night, Nicole's first national team tour ended, Nicole escaped from Carrington overnight, and when he returned home, he was laughed at by Yang Mi for a while, which made Nicole angry endlessly.

Nickel, who had been holding back for several days, severely punished Yang Mi for teasing her that night, and did not stop until late at night when Yang Mi asked for mercy.

Zigwell returned to the club, and Green, who has been playing soy sauce with the team, insisted on Nicole talking about his feelings about being selected for the national team for the first time, which made Nicole dumbfounded.However, the training is still going on, and Nichol's free kick training is also going on. These days, Nichol also feels that his free kick success rate is improving. Maybe this is the only thing that makes him happy these days.

Although Nichols was selected for the national team, his status in Tottenham has not changed. In the pre-match training, Nichols was still wearing a red vest. Mr. Holes wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything. Exiting, Nicole did not speak, silently took the training vest, and devoted himself to training.

On the bench of the away team at Villa Park Stadium, Nicole sat there with a calm face, but if you look closely, you can still see his unwillingness and stubbornness in his eyes. The more Hoddle is like this, the less Nicole will give in. He has already considered leaving White Hart Lane in winter.

At this time, Villa's Moore stabbed into the net after receiving Baros' header from the ferry, and the Villa fans burst into cheers. Looking at the frustrated teammates, his eyes flew away. Hoddle with the water bottle beside him was full of disdain.
