Football King Bale

After the Tottenham game, some teammates left London by plane that night. Another international match day is coming, and the international players in the Tottenham team are going to report to the national team again.

Originally, Bell was also going to report to the national team. He is the main force in Wales' defense. However, on the last national team match day, because Wales had been eliminated from the World Cup qualifiers, Bell expressed to the national team coach his idea of ​​not playing in the national team warm-up match in the next few months, and got permission, so this The Welsh national team did not issue a call-up letter to Tottenham this time.

In the next two weeks, Bell will usher in a more relaxed holiday. However, he can’t roam around, firstly, the sword of Damocles above his head makes him not in the mood to wander around, and secondly, Tottenham have also made arrangements for players who have not reported to the national team, the club has training plan. However, this training plan is relatively easy, and it is completely incomparable with the usual training.

There are 24 players in Tottenham's first team. Few of them have not been called up by their respective national teams. They are basically marginal players in the first team.

However, among them, Bell accidentally found Modric.

Modric has not been in a good state since he was injured last time. Not only did he not get a chance to play in the team for several consecutive games, even the Croatian national team did not call him up.

However, the other two Croatians in the Tottenham team, Kranjica and Joel Luka, are both called up.

In fact, Croatia also failed to break through in the European qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa this time. In the group consisting of England, Ukraine, Croatia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra, Croatia finally only ranked third, with no chance of play-offs They didn't get any.

Such a result is simply a defeat for Croatia, which ranks among the top ten in the world.

Croatia has also become the only national team among the top ten teams in the world that failed to enter South Africa. Even expanding this range to the top 20 in the world, they are the only one.

However, as the play-offs of the European zone qualifiers will be played on this national team match day, Croatia may add some companions. For example, France, Portugal and Russia, once any of them misses in the play-offs, they will also be eliminated from the World Cup.

………………

Modric didn't know why Bell didn't report to the national team, because Bell's recent performance in club games has been supernatural, and the Welsh national team has no reason not to call him up.

Bell didn't explain much about this, which made Modric think that he was the same as himself, because the national team missed the World Cup, which caused the head coach to have opinions on them, so they were not recruited.

This made Modric have a feeling of sympathy for Bell. After the training arranged by the club, he took the initiative to stay and train with Bell.

Accompanied by a partner like Modric, Bell will naturally not refuse. Modric's skills are good. After joining Tottenham last year, he quickly became an important rotation member of the team, even the main force. He hasn’t played recently, but he hasn’t recovered from the injury, but sooner or later he will become the team’s midfield brain. If I train with him more, the tacit understanding will definitely be higher, and it will also benefit my performance in future games .

In addition to the training at the team's training base, Bell still insists on yoga training, but this is arranged in the evening, usually one hour every night.

In addition, Bell also went to participate in a commercial event, because his recent good performance in the game has greatly increased his reputation, and his agent Jonathan Barnett contacted him with a local commercial endorsement in London. This endorsement is not a big contract, it is just a local brand in London, and the endorsement fee given is not too high. For a one-year contract, the endorsement fee is only 200,000 pounds.

Such a short-term endorsement contract is actually more suitable for Bell now, because he is not sure about his future, and a long-term endorsement contract is meaningless. If he fails to complete the task this season, he may be obliterated, and everything is false; if he successfully completes the task, it means that he will become famous and his endorsement income will also increase greatly. The contract is too bad.

………………

During the national team match day, Bell took two afternoons to shoot commercials for the merchants in accordance with the requirements of the endorsement contract.

This is a local clothing brand in London, which has a certain reputation in London and the southeast of England.

In the coming year, Bell's print ads will be displayed in various stores of the clothing brand, and his TV commercials will be broadcast on some TV shows.

When the men arranged by Barnett sent Bell to the commercial shooting location, Bell discovered that he was not the only spokesperson hired by the clothing brand.

As for Barnett himself, as the largest agent in the British sports industry, he has hundreds of athletes under him. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to accompany Bell to attend every business event. After all, Bell is not a big name now, not even the most famous under Barnett.

The other spokesperson hired by the business is a girl, because this clothing brand not only has men's clothing, but also produces women's clothing, and the reputation of women's clothing is even slightly greater.

And when Bell saw the spokesperson for women's clothing, he was overjoyed, because he actually knew the other party.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the Rosamund Pike I met by chance.

She is a young actress who has just debuted and is not yet famous.

However, when it comes to her father, he is a household name in England, because his name is Phil Collins!

That is a big cow who has won the Grammy Award seven times and also won the Oscar for Best Film Song Award!

And Lily Collins is also a great beauty. Of course, she is still a little childish at the age of twenty. Compared with Rosamund Pike, she still lacks some of the temperament that has accumulated over the years.

Because the two will shoot commercials together, under the arrangement of the director, the two are familiar with the commercial script together.

Although Lily Collins is the second generation of stars, she has a good personality and doesn't have the arrogance of the second generation. Coupled with the similar age of the two, the relationship quickly became familiar.

Bell found that Lily Collins was quite talkative, which may have something to do with her previous experience as a reporter. In the past few years, she wrote a column for the British magazine "Elle Girl", most of which were some personal mood diaries and what she saw in Los Angeles, and then in "Seventeen", "Teen Vogue", "Los Angeles Times" and many other media writing. Last year, she was also named "International Model of the Year" by the Spanish edition of Glamor magazine. Also last year, she also won a "Red Carpet Reporter Award" at the Teenage Hollywood Awards. She then entered the University of Southern California to study news broadcasting.

………………

According to Lily Collins, it was an accident that she was able to endorse the clothing brand, because her original intention of returning to the UK was to promote a movie she had just shot.

Although she is a second-generation star and got an electric shock for the first time when she was two years old, Lily Collins officially entered the show business circle last year, when she starred in the CW remake of the youth TV series "New Leap Beverly" Role.

This year she started to enter the screen, and she played a very important role in a sports movie shot in the United States.

The movie, Bell knew, was called The Weakness, and it was a movie about baseball.

This film is not ordinary, it will be nominated for two Oscars next year, namely Best Picture and Best Actress. In the end, its heroine, Sandra Bullock, became the double queen of Oscar and Golden Globe by virtue of this movie.

Still, a young Lily Collins is too young to impress audiences in this movie.

Lily Collins told Bell that the film will be released in the U.S. and Canada in a few days, but that it won't be released in the U.K. until next year, probably in February or March. She is now in the UK to prepare for the pre-promotion of the film.

As for the endorsement of this clothing brand, it was a surprise, and it was only because her father was friends with the owner of this clothing brand that she accepted it.

………………

The filming of the advertisement went smoothly. Firstly, Lily Collins was born as a child star and is very good at acting. Bell is also good at learning. With the help of both the director and Lily Collins, he quickly grasped the role.

However, Lily Collins was a little surprised, because in her impression, athletes are generally not very smart. Except for professional things, they are quick to learn, and the rest are slow to respond.

It seems that Bell, a boy who is several months younger than her, is not the kind of athlete with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He also has excellent observation and learning skills.

After the filming was completed, the two also left each other's phone numbers and Twitter accounts. In addition, Lily Collins also said that when her film was released in the UK, she would invite Bell to participate.

Bell didn't care too much about this. After all, a new movie is usually released on the weekend, which is likely to conflict with his football game, and he may not be able to participate in it at that time.

By the time Bell finished filming the ad, the qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa were all over.

On the evening of November 18th local time in the UK, a new record of 204 participating teams was created. The dust of the 27-month World Cup qualifiers was settled, and all the top 32 seats were revealed.

In the end, the top 20 in the world, in addition to the 9th-ranked Croatia, Hiddink led Russia also missed in the play-offs and failed to get on the last train to South Africa. Portugal, France, Slovenia and Greece are the lucky ones.
