Leon had no idea, for the reason, the team storm that should have erupted in Argentina after losing to England in the group stage was because he broke early.
Just when the outside world was still feeling the power of Argentina, the champion favourite, in the Argentina team, Bielsa returned to the hotel where Argentina were staying, determined to pick a player he preferred and use that as Kata Pekelman, democratic way to choose Argentina captain at the World Cup.
Ayala's injury initially makes Veron secretly happy, but during dinner, after Bielsa calls everyone to a team meeting, the smile on Veron's face disappears.
“As you know, Ayala is injured, and she is our captain. So, I hope you all have a democratic vote to choose the most ideal captain in your mind.” Bielsa decided to take Pekerman's advice.
When the head coach said this, all the Argentines in the restaurant became in an uproar!
“Argentine Day, will it change?” Ortega could not help but sigh in his heart.
“I'll give you three hours to think about it. Before going to bed at eleven, we'll have a vote. No matter what the result of this vote is, I hope you can honor the captain you chose!” After Bielsa finished speaking After leaving, there were only twenty-three Argentina national team players left in the restaurant.
At this moment, everyone also returned to their rooms after sitting down for a few minutes.After all, Bielsa's decision made the players feel extremely uncomfortable.
Who should be chosen as captain? The players of River Plate would definitely not choose Veron, this person was not popular among them.
Choose Simone? It's not impossible, but Ortega, Zanetti, and Barty are as troubled as Simeone!
These four players had high prestige, and it was not about choosing anyone! Choosing one of them, doesn't that mean offending the other three?
And what about Leon? He goes to play billiards with Cambiasso in the hotel's billiard room to relax, which leads Aimar, who wants to find him to discuss who to choose, but does not find him.
In Ortega's room, twelve former or active River Plate players gathered, and there was no doubt that their voices would be decisive!
And Veron is also pacing around in his room at the moment, and he is in discussions with Chamot and Pochettino.
Veron knew that his dream of captaining the Argentina national team would be shattered if there was a democratic vote, so he looked uneasy.
The War Gods Barty, Zanetti, and Simeone were very calm. They all read books or listened to songs in their respective rooms, waiting quietly for everyone's decision after three hours!
“Aduh, it's so hard to choose! Meaning boss?” Aimar clearly had no experience in this area, so the Argentinean handsome man looked puzzled.
Gallardo, Placent, Almeida and other River Plate teammates are also awaiting Ortega's decision.
After a long thought, Ortega looked at Placent and said, "Dude, go and invite Gabriel, Javier, and Diego! I have something to tell them."
Plassent nodded, then he ran to Barty, Zanetti, and Simeone's room to invite the three of them over.
“What's up? Ariel?” Batty, Simeone, and Zanetti all felt something was wrong?
“Gentlemen, you all come out first, Gabriel, Javier, Diego, there's something I want to tell you!” Ortega looked at the three national team bosses sincerely and said.
The other River Plate players also nodded, who were clearly ineligible to follow the dialogue of the four national team giants. And they also respect Ortega, after all, whatever decision Ortega makes, they will respect him.
So, Ortega's room left only him, Barty, Zanetti, and Simeone.
...
After about an hour.
“Ariel, the method you say is good. Actually, I personally do not like some Veron style, and I feel happy with the boy.” Zanetti first gave his own advice.
“Four years ago, I was captain of the Argentina national team. Four years later, I will be 32 years old. Ariel, in fact I also think that it is time for the four of us to unite, and I also want to win the World Cup. Uh!" said Simeone.
“Really! As long as we can unite, then the other players will unite. Ariel, thank you for saying this to us so frankly and openly. In fact, you River Plate players can determine for themselves the captain of the national team. But you put the three of us invited and told us this, I think you really did it for the good of the national team, and this advice is also good, so our attention can be focused on the game." Barty points nodded and said.
Who would have least expected to see civil unrest in the national team? It's Barty!
The heart of champion Batty makes him lust for the World Cup trophy.In 1998, for the sake of playing for the country, Batty even cut his long hair!
Seeing the other three national team officials approve his proposal, Ortega was relieved, "The national team captain's fight will not bring good results for us, we are divided into deaths. If we don't unite, then we probably won't make it to the group stage. I think Bielsa also made this decision because he wanted us to unite.”
Barty, Zanetti, and Simeone nodded.
Zanetti suddenly laughed: "Actually we are on our respective teams, who is not the core? Who has never been a captain? But Ariel, should you invite our future captain?"
Simeone also smiled: "To be honest, I feel pretty good with this humble kid, and we can help him along once."
Barty, the god of war, also nodded, "In today's game, she was almost at odds with Veron, but she held back her anger after I told her that the national team was her priority. In some ways, he does have skills. Quality captain."
Ortega also smiled: "Then we have made history, the youngest captain in the history of the Argentine national team."
“Yes, but with the four of us helping her, she definitely has no problem.” Simeone was smiling too.
Barty nodded: "Then Ariel, let someone call Leonwell! If he wanted to be captain, he would have to pass this last level."
Ortega nodded, then walked to the door and called Aimar, "Aimar, go and call Leon."
Aimar nodded, then asked curiously, "Have you made a decision?"
Ortega nodded, "Yes, this is a decision I made, Barty, Zanetti, and Simeone. If any of you are unsure, you can come to the four of us."
Who would dare to reject the other team members standing outside the door? As long as it was a decision made by Barty, Zanetti, Simeone, and Ortega together, it was a truly right decision!
Not even Bielsa could shake him!
Only these players are very curious, who will be decided by the four brothers to be captain of the national team?
Soon, Aimar finds Leonville and Cambiasso still playing billiards...
When Leonwell was taken to Ortega's hotel room in a confused state where almost all of his national teammates were present, he had no idea that he was like the emperor in an ancient Chinese robe ...
“Leon! Here!” Ortega called Leon.
Leon also walked in front of Ortega, the "Brother of Ortega... Is something wrong?"
At this moment, Ortega suddenly looked at the others and asked, "Friends, let me ask you, what do you think of my brother?"
Aimar was the first to speak: "I saw a game in which Leon fought bloody battles on the monument! He's a good player!"
Crespo also smiled: "Leon is very kind, very selfless."
Placent, Matthias Almeida and the others also nodded in agreement.
Basically, everyone thinks Leon is good.
At this moment, Ortega pulls Leon in front of the other three big guys in the national team.Seeing the three older brothers of the Argentine national team, Simeone, Barty, and Zanetti, Leon is also a bit stupid, overwhelmed.
“Leon, did you know? We have made a decision that will surprise the whole of Argentina, no, the whole world!” Ortega pats Leonwell on the shoulder.
Leon looked at his older brother suspiciously.
At this moment, Batty, Simeone, and Zanetti were also standing, "Leon, according to your qualifications, you are a little guy who only played for the national team for two matches. You are a beginner. The four of us have discussed and discussed that at this World Cup, you will be captain of the Argentina national team!"
As soon as Ortega's voice fell, the entire room suddenly became in an uproar.
“Leon as captain? Well, it must be better than Veron that guy!” Aimar.
And Leon is also a good person, but..is he too young?” Placent was a little confused.
Other Argentina players also looked at Ortega, Zanetti, Barty and Simeone with confused expressions.
At this moment, Barty stood up and said: "Friends! The World Cup is just a few days away! When the game is close, if we are still fighting for the position of captain of the national team, then we are in the World Cup. Can you perform well?"
Simeone, captain of Argentina's national team at the 1998 World Cup, said: "Yes guys, as you know, I was captain of Argentina's national team, but now, as you know, I think we really need a new captain! I think if the last captain was Veron, you would definitely not be sure or buy him. And if it's one of me, Ortega, Zanetti and Barty, I'm afraid the four of us won't be together. Who will I serve." When he said this, Simeone also smiled at the other three.
Batty, Zanetti, and Ortega all nodded.
"So, we decided to let Leon Weir, who only has two playing experiences, be our captain! Of course, you definitely wouldn't be sure, you would definitely think, our qualifications are better than Leon, why not let What should we do? ?" Simeone fell silent, then Zanetti took his words, "That's because Leon is a rookie, and he is a person who sincerely serves the Argentine national team, he said, so we decided to let him Come be the captain!"
Ortega nodded, then continued: "That's right, it's because Leon is a rookie, so we let him be the captain, he said, and we intend to tell the world that we in Argentina will not fight for the captaincy. Win! In this World Cup, I, Barty, Simeone and Zanetti will try our best to help Leon, and we don't think about the captaincy, we Argentines think about the championship! Not captain!"
That was true, precisely because Leonwell was a blank piece of paper, so it was the most suitable for him to be captain.
In this way, we can tell the world that we in Argentina are not about seniority, we Argentinians only think about World Cup champions!
Ortega, Barty, Simeone, and Zanetti have set an example, other players who dare to refuse?
Ortega reunites the national team by becoming Leon's captain.
He spent a lot of words, Simeone, Zanetti, Barty and the others also passed through the obstacles in their hearts, thinking about the World Cup championship wholeheartedly!
At this moment, Leonwell, who was wearing a royal robe, suddenly felt that happiness would come sooner?
