[Football] Bad Boy Batty

"We just want to listen to songs and celebrate. Why do you care about us?" Batty said arrogantly, crossing his arms. "We haven't lost this season. We celebrate like this in all away locker rooms. Are you so special that you can't afford to lose?"

"What! You kid—" Mourinho was furious. The music was so loud that he only heard the last sentence. The Magic Bird unbuttoned his suit and pointed a finger at Batistuta: "I repeat, be respectful! You were not even born when I started coaching the team!"

"Put your hands up! Who told you to point at him?" Ederson pushed forward to defend Batistuta. "Who the hell do you think you are? You just ran into someone else's locker room and ordered them around. You don't respect us at all. Why should we respect you?"

Ederson was almost sticking to Mourinho. In fact, their feud had already shown signs since the beginning of the game. In the stoppage time, Ederson held the ball and calmly passed it to Kompany, which was considered by Mourinho as a way to delay time.

It was true that every team that was ahead at the last minute would use some tricks, such as substitutions, passing the ball back, and Ederson, who learned from Shu Lan and passed the ball at the slowest speed. These were all within the rules, and Batistuta believed that Mourinho must have used them, but he was the one who fell behind this time, so he was anxious.

But it's too late to say anything now. The quarrel between Ederson and Mourinho has entered a white-hot stage, with a mixture of English and Portuguese, and they even cursed each other nose to nose to avoid being covered by the music. The scene looks fiery and funny.

According to Batistuta's standards, no one would get away with provoking him, but Mourinho... he quite likes this head coach who also speaks without restraint. Although in the previous game, Batistuta secretly kicked the ball a little far away from the out-of-bounds ball, Batistuta still didn't want to hit him in the face.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood after winning the game, Batistuta was watching the quarrel between Ederson and Mourinho with a spectator's attitude.

But just because he thinks so doesn't mean others think so too.

Just a dozen seconds before Batistuta's music ended, half of the locker room noticed the situation at the door after Otamendi's reminder. The away locker room at Old Trafford was not spacious, and many invisible players began to squeeze towards the door.

"Hey! Don't push!"

However, Batistuta's complaints were drowned out by the noise of his teammates who were celebrating. Mourinho didn't want to continue the argument, so he waved his hand, made a gesture and turned to leave. But Ederson refused to accept it and insisted that Mourinho apologize for humiliating him.

There was chaos at the door.

Edson: "You coward! You came here in anger to order us around, and now you think you can leave when you can't get any advantage!"

Manchester City's new goalkeeper spoke in a bad tone and used a lot of humiliating words that only Brazilian locals would use, both explicitly and implicitly. Mourinho had coached many Brazilians and happened to understand a few of them, which angered the madman.

Mourinho stopped outside the locker room door and turned to look at Ederson: "Listen to me, kid! I—"

The next second, an empty mineral water bottle flew out from behind the crowd, just brushing Mourinho's eye and flying towards the player tunnel.

Empty plastic bottles make much more noise than full ones, and the clanging sound is particularly noticeable in the corridor.

It just so happened that Lukaku and goalkeeper coach Silvino Rolau wanted to see why their head coach had been gone for so long and had not returned, and they happened to see Mourinho arguing at the door and the mineral water bottle flying over.

"Hey! What are you bastards doing?" Lukaku got angry and rushed to the door. "Whoever threw the bottle, stand still—"

Before he could stand in front of the head coach, Mourinho was splashed with milk, and Lukaku was also affected.

"Oh my God!" Manchester United's goalkeeping coach exclaimed. His voice was so loud that it successfully attracted the attention of the already quiet Manchester United locker room. He rushed to the front of the goal and pulled Mourinho and Lukaku behind him, then shouted even louder: "This is Old Trafford! This is not a place for you to show off!"

Batty stood in front of the crowd, looking at the empty milk bottle in his hand in silence.

Um--

Could he say that he didn't mean that, and was just feeling uncomfortable because of the pressure from his teammates behind him, so he raised his hand in a hurry and accidentally spilled the milk?

Manchester United captain Valencia poked his head out of the locker room, then pulled over a staff member and asked, "What happened?"

"Mr Mourinho wanted to turn down the music at Manchester City, threw milk all over him in the Manchester City dressing room and attacked him with a plastic bottle."

Valencia:!
Manchester United fans: !!!

"This is too much. Who remembers that this is Old Trafford, our home ground!"

I don't know who said this, but everyone in the audience agreed. Rojo, who had just taken off his jersey and was about to take a shower, didn't care about anything else. He threw the bottle in his hand to the ground, and the sound of "pop" attracted everyone's attention.

Rojo: "Let's go! Show them some color!"

Batistuta wanted to remain silent, but no one could stop Lukaku's anger. He rushed into the crowd of Manchester City players and tried to find the murderer. The players were crowded together like sardines in a can. Before he could see clearly, several slaps and elbows hit Batistuta in the face.

Batty got angry immediately.

"Go away you idiot!" He pushed aside several teammates and grabbed Lukaku's collar: "Are you crazy? Who started this?"

"You he--"

Before Lukaku could say anything, he heard a buzzing sound in the passage behind him, and Manchester United players rushed over on horseback.

"That arrogant boy! Take your hands off his collar!"

whoosh-

Half a bar of soap flew over and hit Batty on the shoulder.

"Hey! What do you want to do!" Seeing Batistuta being attacked, De Bruyne also got angry. He put his hands across his chest and pushed away several Manchester United staff members, "Who threw it? Who!"

"You were the ones who threw water bottles at people first and then splashed milk on them!" Rojo stepped forward and pushed De Bruyne.

"No, we didn't!" Aguero retorted loudly, "Who saw it? You're making excuses!"

Rojo glared at his fellow Argentine: "Don't protect this kid!"

“You wicked bastard,” Batistuta let go of Lukaku and rushed over, then raised his hand to push him, without any ambiguity, “Watch your mouth!”

Rojo is also known for his bad temper, and he was completely irritated after being pushed twice by Batistuta.

then--

With Rojo's roar, the two sides officially started a larger-scale verbal and physical conflict. The staff and coaching staff also joined in, and the scene became more chaotic.

"Go away——"

"Let go! You are so shameless!"

"Bastard!"

"You bitches!"

In the chaos, Manchester City assistant coach Arteta's eyebrow was broken and blood was flowing, Aguero and B Silva were also affected and scratched on the face. This greatly stimulated Batistuta, and seeing that a man in red was about to punch B Silva, Batistuta tripped Rojo and made him stagger to the side, just squeezing the Manchester United player away.

Apart from Batistuta, Mourinho and Ederson, who were at the centre of the initial chaos, were pushed to the margins.

In fact - if Mourinho could leave Manchester City's locker room at this time, then everything that happened next would not have happened, but things are not always as expected.

Batistuta and Rojo are fighting fiercely.

At this time, Augustus, who was entangled by the media, rushed to the scene. Seeing that Batistuta was about to hit Rojo's chin, he rushed over and grabbed Batistuta's wrist, then pulled him in front of him to replace Rojo's position.

"Oh party, you didn't invite me," the French midfielder teased, "Hey, Batistuta baby, why are you making such a long face?"

Batti was already unhappy, and now he was even more unhappy when he saw Augustus appear.

"Get out of here!" Batty shook off Augustus' grip and distanced himself from him, then punched him on the bridge of his nose and knocked him over. "You haunted clown! You want to beat me? Maybe in your next life!"

Augustus lost his balance and fell to the ground, but he was also careful. As he fell, he raised his foot and kicked Batistuta on the back of his calf, causing Batistuta to lose his balance immediately.

The two men rolled on the ground and then stopped. Batti took the upper position, grabbed Augustus' collar tightly, and reached out to punch him on the other side of the nose.

“Hiss—” Augustus was at a disadvantage, his expression darkened. He seized the opportunity to flip over and clamped Batty’s entire chin with his hand: “You are starting to annoy me, my little ocelot.”

"Who the hell is your pet!"

Under the catalysis of Batistuta and Augustus, the conflict between Manchester United and Manchester City, the two city derby rivals, showed signs of escalating again.

"What are you doing?"

Guardiola arrived late and was stunned by the chaos.

However, as he was once the core of Barcelona's midfield and had witnessed many fights, he quickly calmed down and called for the stadium's security personnel to come and help. Two minutes later, this melee that exceeded the number of people was gradually calmed down.

When the referees came out of the locker room, there was no player left in the aisle.

1
With Manchester City's current form, it would be unreasonable if they don't win the treble this season. As long as Guardiola doesn't come up with any more weird formations, BBB will be invisible today.

2
One assist and one goal, he scored two of Manchester City's three goals. You call this invisible? Don't criticize it.

3
This is not too unfair, it is true that BBB was invisible in the first half, he just made a few crosses and had a few confrontations, and things got better after he was moved to the middle.

4
What is the background of the defensive midfielder that Manchester United replaced? I saw a lot of ghost howling in the special area.

5
The young master of the Rothschild family, I don't know why he gave up the family business to play football. I heard that he left the year before graduating from university. I can only say that he is rich and willful.

6
I heard it was because he had a crush on Batistuta.
7
???

8
It's true. He was in Buckingham University. I have a friend who was his classmate. He told me that when he dropped out of school, there was a rumor that he fell in love with BBB at first sight. It was very popular.

9
Is this true? ??? Is it so outrageous?

10
Impossible, if they really saw him, would he go to Manchester United? And they bought shares and became the boss.

11
Manchester City and Manchester United, they won't be like Carragher and Neville, right?
Fuck, love and hate each other, barely able to eat

12
There's something wrong with you upstairs.
13
Stop it, they're fighting.
[HP News-It was revealed that a conflict broke out after the derby match, Mourinho was splashed with milk and beaten by several people, and Batistuta Augustus was filmed wrestling]

……

After the game, the British "Mirror" and "The Sun" both reported on the incident in detail. The "Post" did not mind the big deal and looked for the parties involved everywhere. After a few days, they pieced together the so-called truth. In order to attract attention, they also drew a process diagram to restore the details and timeline of the conflict.

A source familiar with the drama said: "It was absolutely crazy. The tunnel was full of screaming and shouting. Manchester City players and Manchester United players were fighting with each other. Some of them were even wearing only their underwear. The scene was completely out of control."

Another insider said: "Bati was crazy. He pressed Augustus and beat him. Obviously, he was annoyed by the goal that Manchester United scored at the beginning of the second half. Augustus was not polite either. He broke Batistuta's lip."

Soon, the media seized on the hot topic and reported it extensively, putting together Batistuta's interview with Augustus after the game, analyzing the two men's personalities and who would win in a fight.

The matter obviously escalated, and the English Football Association stood up and claimed that they would conduct a strict investigation into this matter. But everyone knows that Old Trafford is under renovation, and the surveillance in the passage was not turned on at all. The referee team did not know whether it was intentional or not, and did not come out of the lounge until the fight was over.

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet for a while.

Far away in Los Angeles, USA, some people's focus is different from everyone else.

"Look at the boy's eyes. His pupils dilated when the reporter mentioned Batistuta, showing his excitement," Edmundo said jokingly. "On the other hand, my dear godson didn't even want to say his name."

The great director was lying on the sofa in the manor, enjoying the service of the person next to him feeding him fruits. He ate a piece of mango, pinched the chin of the blond waiter and kissed the corner of his mouth as a reward.

"Augustus doesn't look like a normal person. He might be the next Fran. What should I do, River? I'm a little worried about Batistuta's safety." He added.

"Bati has his own ideas." River Phoenix said helplessly, "Don't worry, it's hard for him to change his dislike for someone. He won't give up just because the boy is good-looking. That's the only thing he's different from you."

"Am I the kind of person who only looks at faces?" Edmundo pretended to be sad, then laughed, "Seriously, give me some advice, I can't leave here and run to Manchester to keep an eye on it all the time."

"Bati has bodyguards, he will be fine." River said, "If you are still worried about his safety, how about giving him a few guard dogs?"

Edmundo bit his fingertips and thought about it.

Oh, guard dogs, that's a great idea.

……

It has been 5 days since the incident happened. Guardiola severely criticized them, but did not impose any other punishment. As expected, the English Football Association completely lost faith. In fact, they themselves knew in their hearts that this matter would not have any result.

After the training that day, Batistuta took De Bruyne's car home and listened to the radio. Today is the day when FIFA announces the World Cup grouping.

Group A: [Spain, Portugal, Iran, Morocco]

Group B: [Uruguay, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt]

Group C: [Argentina, Croatia, Iceland, Nigeria]

Group D: [France, Denmark, Australia, Peru]

Group E: [Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, Costa Rica]

Group F: [Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, South Korea]

Group G: [Belgium, England, Panama, Tunisia]

Group H: [Colombia, Senegal, Japan, Poland]

"Hey Kevin! We are next to Germany!" Batistuta excitedly pulled De Bruyne's hand, "That means we have a chance for revenge this time!"

"The prerequisite is that you and Germany are first and second in the group respectively." De Bruyne smiled and let Batistuta play with his fingers, then seized the opportunity to hold him to prevent him from moving. "The good news is that we are both in the lower half and there is a high possibility that we will meet in the quarter-finals."

Batistuta was immersed in the joy of revenge against Germany. He smiled and raised his hand interlocked with De Bruyne and waved, "That's good. I haven't met you in the national team yet." He said, "I won't let you go when the time comes. Don't cry if you lose."

De Bruyne pulled back their clasped hands, lowered his head and kissed Batistuta's fingers: "You are the one, I still have to celebrate the promotion, it will be sad to see you become rabbit-eyed."

Batty curled his lips, and did not pull back his hand, maintaining the sweet hand-holding posture and leaning over. He raised his eyes and looked at De Bruyne, and then kissed De Bruyne's fingers a few times.

The temperature in the car began to rise.

However, at the moment their lips touched, Batti's cell phone rang.

"Damn it! You better be in a hurry, or I...Oh? Really? Okay, thanks, I'll be right there."

Well, it looks like we can’t continue.

De Bruyne withdrew his hand and started the car.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's my godfather. He sent me a package by air, and I have to sign for it in person." Batty stroked his hair and snorted a few times in a rather annoyed manner. "It's not a big problem. We can continue after he signs for it."

……

When he arrived at the door of his house, Batty was completely dumbfounded.

"Wow," De Bruyne exclaimed sincerely, "This is a really special gift - have you thought of what to name them?"

Batty didn't have time to think of a name. He squatted down and pointed his finger at the dusty furry creatures: "I don't know what to say. Why do you all give me this?"

Yes, Batistuta's godfather Edmundo gave him three puppies.

To be precise, it was three Czech Wolfhound puppies and a dog trainer who acted as a courier.

"They are now 65 days old, which is the best time to cultivate affection. I will help you train them in a while. Wolfhounds are very smart and loyal, and they are qualified guardians." The dog trainer said, "The training process is not too troublesome. I know your job, so I will adjust it according to your time. Mr. Edmundo has explained it clearly to me."

As expected of his godfather, Batty nodded, he really had thought of everything.

"Seriously, why a dog?" Batty asked again. "I'm not saying I don't like them, it's just - wolfhound? I thought it would be another breed, like a Doberman, which is very handsome."

"Maybe he has a sudden idea." De Bruyne shrugged and replied, "I don't know this Hollywood heavyweight, but I have read a lot of news about him. He gives people the impression that he is a very free-spirited person."

"Indeed." Batty picked up one of the puppies. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. He held the puppy and looked at De Bruyne. "Well, Kevin, what do you think of this name?"

De Bruyne didn't react immediately: "What?"

"I say - let's name them Kevin, Kun, and... uh, Kyle. What do you think?" Batty looked up and blinked at him, with an undisguised smirk on his face. He held the dog in front of De Bruyne and said, "Look, this little guy has no weak foot just like you."

Let him be his puppy?
De Bruyne: …

Still De Bruyne: "As long as you are happy."
