Chapter 142: Recovering early and returning to the game
Back to Milan after the audio was exposed, this shocking news once again ignited everyone's nerves.
The Serie A football world and Italian media, which had been depressed due to the Calciopoli incident, became agitated again. However, this time the Italian players and Italian football were victims, so it aroused strong resonance and backlash - we are so miserable, and yet there are still people bullying us.
This incident soon spread to other European countries and became a topic of conversation; after all, there was no big news after the World Cup.
However, Ricardo, who was at the center of the storm, was even more surrounded. He originally planned to go to the hospital to remove the plaster in the next two days, but the reporters and paparazzi outside the door simply did not hide and surrounded him in three layers inside and outside... When his brother Andre came back, he almost had the microphone poked into his throat. His shoes were almost stuck and his suit jacket was torn before he could get in.
Ricardo's parents sent a message back directly, saying that they would go abroad for a few days on vacation over the weekend and see if they would come back next weekend... The nanny was so scared that she didn't dare to go out to buy groceries. Anyway, the master and the mistress were not at home, so the two little masters simply had to get some instant noodles and bread.
So Ricardo knew that he could not stay in Milan any longer and had to escape as soon as possible; otherwise, let alone a happy sex life, even basic living would be difficult to guarantee.
The next day, Ricardo used the collection of uncensored autographed photos of women that he brought back from Japan during his Asia trip last year to buy his brother Andre's freedom for a day and exchange their identities. Andre pretended to be Ricardo at home, while Ricardo put on a suit and pretended to be Andre to go back to the law firm to work. In fact, he went to the airport to secretly return to Seville to hide away.
Not to mention how Ricardo and Andre used their ridiculous cooperation to evade the siege of dozens of reporters in the early morning with an extremely ridiculous plan, successfully hiding the truth and escaping the encirclement...
Before going to the airport, Ricardo first went to the Milan branch of UBS to finalize the early settlement of performance-based compensation and the various operational plans that had been reported previously. In addition, he also had to urgently withdraw another 100 million US dollars from the trust fund to keep for his pocket money and for picking up girls - after all, all the endorsement fees had been spent by Lapang.
As for the plaster, I asked Lapang to arrange for a private doctor to come to my house to remove it under the pretext of a follow-up visit last night, and then put it on Andre, after all, he had performed a show early in the morning.
In addition, Ricardo also told Raiola to find an opportunity to help explain things clearly to his family so as not to make them worry or jealous of his concealment. After all, it was Raiola who was the instigator of Li Qi's broken leg incident on October 10.11.
……
Before boarding the flight, Ricardo contacted Eva and asked her to pick him up at the airport. He didn't know whether the Spanish media reporters would block the door or stare at his apartment and car, so he decided to stay at Eva's house for a while and coax this young lady lover first.
Ricardo originally thought that he would have to spend some time to persuade Eva to forgive and accept his true nature as a scumbag; but he didn't expect that Eva had already figured it out on her own. After all, she was the chosen girl who had experienced half a dozen scumbags.
Of course, the bigger factor is the help from Prudential Insurance Company...
Eva has become a little celebrity in the company in recent days. The leaders of Prudential not only did not blame Eva for the fact that the high-end medical insurance she sold to Ricardo was claimed only a few days ago, but also praised and rewarded Eva yesterday.
Because the 10.11 Li Qi broken leg incident spread miraculously and quickly, the media revealed that Ricardo bought high-end sports medical insurance from Prudential, used Prudential's direct payment channel to stay in a high-end private hospital in Georgia, and received full advance payment and protection.
How could Prudential miss such an advertising opportunity? This was a gift from heaven. If they didn’t take advantage of it, they would be sorry for their shareholders. So Prudential quickly used its channel resources in various places and learned from other brands endorsed by Ricardo to promote the event. At the same time, it also made a bigger plan - to use this opportunity to enter the professional sports field. After all, there are more than 60 professional football players in Spain alone...
In addition, Prudential also wants to contact Ricardo Richie and his agent through Eva to discuss the possibility of endorsement in the insurance industry.
So Eva, a novice agent whose main or only business was to serve Ricardo, suddenly became a senior star agent in Prudential... And with the earnest concern of her supervisor and the effect of the nearly 15 euros in commission after tax she had just received, Eva couldn't possibly fall into a cold war with her big client, right?
As adults, they didn't need any pretentious apologies or reconciliation. As soon as they got back to Eva's apartment, they just stuck their bodies together and had a fierce and unimpeded output, which was enough to express all their feelings! If one wave was not enough, they would do two, three, four... ten times...
After feeling Eva's fiery and shy enthusiasm, Ricardo felt that after only ten days of not seeing her, Eva seemed to have accepted her role as a lover and running partner. Could it be that his looks and abdominal muscles were too impressive?
The scumbag Li was hesitating whether to take this opportunity to tell Eva about Sarafina and Julian? After all, it would have to be faced sooner or later, and now was a rare opportunity; and even if there were reversals, if he just revealed a little bit of his most powerful financial resources, it should be able to be settled, right?
Well, so the scumbag Li held Eva while continuing to torture the falling apart bed, and decided to mention the matters of his girlfriends when he took Eva to buy new furniture tomorrow... He really couldn't hold it in any longer, so he decided to buy a few more insurance policies next week and give one each to Dad, Mom and brother, to express his apology for concealing this incident.
……
However, just as Ricardo was secretly hiding in Eva's apartment for fighting training and recovery, the battle in La Liga resumed.
2006年10月15日晚上19时，2006/07赛季西班牙足球甲级联赛第6轮一场焦点战在诺坎普球场展开争夺，塞维利亚做客挑战西甲卫冕冠军巴塞罗那。
双方近9次交锋，巴萨在7场不败(5胜2平)后遭遇两连负，特别是本赛季前的欧洲超级杯上0比3完败于塞维利亚，而塞维利亚最近一次在诺坎普取胜还是2002年12月。
In order to prepare for the century-long battles against Chelsea next week and Real Madrid at the weekend, Rijkaard made a major rotation in the lineup. Main players such as Puyol, Zambrotta, Edmilson and Deco were not included in the starting list.
As for Sevilla, except for Ricardo Richarliquid who missed the match against his home club due to injury in the national team, basically all the main players were on the field.
However, at the beginning of the game, Barcelona seemed to be completely unaffected by the FIFA virus. They completely controlled the game situation at home from the first minute and broke the deadlock in the 28th minute.
Ronaldinho's father took advantage of Escudé's foul on Belletti in the penalty area and scored the penalty kick, helping Barcelona lead 1-0.
Although Sevilla equalized the score in the 36th minute through a header relay in the penalty area assisted by Renato, who scored a header; Barcelona quickly surpassed the score again in the 39th minute.
It was Ronaldinho’s father again, but this time he scored a direct free kick from the edge of the penalty area, scoring his second goal!
Barcelona entered the second half with a score of 2-1.
Sevilla made adjustments at halftime and surprisingly, when they were trailing, coach Juan Ramos replaced Fabiano with Marti, adding a midfielder in an attempt to control the game.
This is also what Juan Ramos wanted to replicate when Li Qi was on the field, but it was far from satisfactory. Indeed, not everyone can replace Li Qi to play the effect of a midfielder.
So Barcelona withstood Sevilla's counterattack and sealed the victory in the 80th minute of the game. Xavi passed the ball, and Messi used his speed to brilliantly break through four players in the penalty area and shot the ball into the net before Palop attacked.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Sevilla 3-1 and won the top battle.
Ricardo did not watch the live broadcast of Sevilla's away loss to Barcelona, but saw the result through news reports the next day. The reason was that there was no TV in Eva's apartment, and Ricardo did not rush back to his apartment to be on the safe side - it would be bad if turning on the lights attracted paparazzi and he had to return to Spain early.
So Ricardo decided to take Eva to buy a big bed frame, a big mattress, a big sofa, and also a big TV, so that he could come to Eva's house and enjoy watching the game... Oh, and he also needed some training equipment. He would use it to do rehabilitation training secretly these days, and Eva would be able to use it later. He couldn't have fun with only a yoga mat.
And just the day after Ricardo helped Eva's family install the big TV and big furniture, the European war began.
Unlike the Champions League, Sevilla has to go through the first stage of the knockout stage before it can enter the second stage of the group stage in the UEFA Cup. In the group stage, there are 5 teams in each group, and they need to go through 4 rounds of single-round matches to determine the top three teams to enter the next round of knockouts and join the third place teams from each group of the Champions League to draw lots for the round of 32 finals.
The 06/07 UEFA Cup group stage is divided into 8 groups, with a total of 40 teams competing. The specific groupings are as follows:
Group A: Glasgow Rangers, Maccabi Haifa, Livorno, Auxerre and Partizan Belgrade;
Group B: Tottenham Hotspur, Dinamo Bucharest, Bayer Leverkusen, Besiktas and Club Brugge;
Group C: Sevilla, Alkmaar, Braga, Liberec and Grasshoppers;
Group D: Parma, Osasuna, Lens, Odense and Heerenveen;
Group E: Blackburn Rovers, Nancy, Feyenoord, Krakow and Basel;
Group F: Espanyol, Ajax, Sparta Prague, Austria Vienna and Zulte Waregem;
Group G: Paris Saint-Germain, Panathinaikos, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Rapid Bucharest and Boreslav;
Group H: Newcastle United, Frankfurt, Palermo, Fenerbahce and Celta Vigo.
Defending champion Sevilla had a good draw in the group stage, as there was no opponent from the top five leagues in Group C. In contrast, Group H was a veritable group of death, bringing together Newcastle of the Premier League, Frankfurt of the Bundesliga, Palermo of Serie A and Fenerbahce of the Turkish Super League...
Sevilla will face its first group match of the 2006/10 UEFA Cup on the evening of October 19, 06, travelling to the Czech Republic to challenge Liberec away.
However, Juan Ramos did not send out all the main players in this game. This may be because the big battle with Barcelona last weekend consumed a lot of main players. Another reason is that the opponent is not too strong and it is away. After all, the first task of this season is to fight for the Champions League quota next season in the league...
The game started with an open atmosphere, with a fast transition between offense and defense. Both teams were not conservative and had many chances on the field, but no team took the lead in the game, and both teams lacked the ability to make the final decision or luck. So, when the final whistle blew, the defending champion Sevilla, who played with only half of their main players, was tied 0-0 by the Czech dark horse Liberec away from home.
With the support of Ricardo's credit card, Eva's small apartment was completely renovated in just two or three days. It had a new oversized LCD TV, a sturdy double bed, a new leather sofa, a new soft blended carpet, and many giant dolls and pillows, making the originally slightly empty room full and warm.
Li, the scumbag who turned into a rich man, enjoyed Eva's service while watching the broadcast of Sevilla's game. He felt comfortable but depressed: the team had not won two games, and he came to Sevilla to win the League Cup and King's Cup. He was afraid that his butterfly effect would make Sevilla's championship fall through!
"I need to discuss with Uncle Mino to see if I can make a comeback early?" Seeing that the former model and former flight attendant Eva was still enthusiastically providing him with standard services, Eva, who had experienced several scumbags, knew more than Chiara. Ricardo couldn't help but worry that he would fall and get lost in the land of tenderness...
As the Champions League and UEFA Cup games started one after another, the 10.11 Li Qi broken leg incident finally began to fade out of people's sight, at least it was no longer the focus of media attention.
So Raiola agreed to Ricardo's request for an early return after a slight hesitation. It is expected that he will go to a private hospital for a comprehensive examination next week, two weeks after the injury. If he recovers, he will start to resume training with a private trainer.
He officially returned to the club in early November, completed the club's physical examination, and prepared to make his comeback; however, he still had to prepare a more acceptable reason for his early return to the outside world.
……
The scumbag Lee was sent back to his apartment by Eva who felt insulted again because he continued to confess to Eva about Sarafina and Julian.
But then the scumbag Li regained Eva's self-esteem by discussing the purchase of multiple investment-linked insurance policies for his family, and once again moved into Eva's house for the night.
Eva probably had no choice, because the money her sponsor gave her was too much; and considering the amount of money, if she didn't take the job, wouldn't it be a bargain for other scumbags in the same industry? ! That wouldn't do, Eva had her own pride, even if she lost in love, she couldn't lose in making money! It's not shameful to sacrifice herself heroically for a little money!
Besides, the scumbag Li is different from his previous scumbag boyfriends. Not only is he rich, but he is also very handsome, and his abdominal muscles and chest muscles are really amazing. Once you take a closer look, you will feel that being a mistress, a fourth mistress, or a fifth mistress is not an insult to anyone...
So the scumbag Li was enjoying the high-quality service of Eva, a former model, former stewardess and married woman, in her cozy little apartment that had been newly decorated, while watching the weekend La Liga broadcast.
2006年10月22日下午17时，2006/07赛季西班牙足球甲级联赛第7轮展开争夺。
Sevilla faced the challenge of newly promoted Tarragona at home. In the 22nd minute of the first half, Navas, who had returned from suspension, made a cross from the right and assisted Kanoute, who shot the ball into the upper left corner of the goal, breaking the deadlock.
Five minutes later, Navas and Kanoute made another cross from the right and assisted Kanoute to score with his right foot from 5 yards in front of the goal. One assist and two goals, this is Kanoute's 6th league goal this season.
Although the visiting team scored a goal in the 68th minute of the second half, Sevilla finally won the game 2-1 at home against the newly promoted Tarragona, ending their two-game losing streak and returning to the winning track.
This also allowed Ricardo, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, to finally breathe a sigh of relief: "Hiss...hiss...so cool...so cool!"
