"Mark, I played well yesterday." As soon as Mark entered the training ground of Atletico Madrid, some teammates said with a smirk at Mark.

"What did you say? I did nothing yesterday," Mark said with a question mark.

"The magazine has been published. Last night you were very happy with the black-haired Spanish NV in a nightclub. I wonder where you went last night." The players also started gossiping.

Mark also picked up the magazine in a player's hand and looked at the cover carefully. The picture on the cover was indeed the hug of Mark's hug when the two broke up after giving away Card Bonairo. It seemed that the two looked very close, but sometimes the facts were not the case.

At that time, it was just a way for Mark to express his friendship. After all, the two of them had a great time chatting in nightclubs. Mark could not become unfamiliar with Kabonairo as soon as he left the nightclub. Mark had never learned to change his face, so all this was out of polite considerations.

"Damn, hugging is also considered intimate. The media can really make it up. Isn't it equivalent to shaking hands for you in the West?" Mark thought in his heart with some anger.

But Mark didn't have a good idea, because the magazine media all rely on creating fake news to attract attention. Even if Mark sued, the other party would apologize at most.

In fact, Mark didn't mind reporting to these media. He had never done it anyway. They would just do whatever the media wrote. What Mark minded was whether Koros would see this magazine. If Koros saw it, then it caused Koros' misunderstanding, then Mark would die unjustly.

If Mark really did something cheating, it would be worth it even if he died, but he did nothing. If that aroused Colos' suspicion, Mark would really have the intention to hit the wall.

"Damn the media, I will deal with you one day," Mark thought fiercely in his heart, and at the same time, Mark explained to his teammates: "This is all the media spreading rumors, these are all the tricks used by the media. Do you believe it too?"

The teammates were originally joking with Mark that they believed Mark when they saw Mark suddenly so serious. In fact, Mark didn't need them to believe it, but they always had to explain it. After all, if these people really spread something bad for Mark, then everyone might believe that these are real.

Moreover, what Mark was most worried about was Coloss's problem. Mark was afraid that three of them would become tigers. If one person said he didn't believe it, if more people said it, then Mark was really worried. However, the next step was not Coloss calling Mark to question Mark, but head coach Cooper called Mark directly and asked Mark in the office.

"Mark, I shouldn't have cared too much about the player's si life, but I hope you can still control your si life." Cooper also called Mark to talk, because he didn't want Mark's off-court things to affect his condition.

"Coach, you can rest assured that I will handle this matter well and it will not affect the status of the next game." Mark also knew what Cooper meant, so Mark said to Cooper confidently, and he thought he could handle this matter well.

It didn't take long to chat with Cooper, so Mark left the office because Mark had important things to do, which was what Mark Mark wanted to explain to Colos.

Mark thought that since Colos didn't call him, that one was Colos who didn't know about this. In addition, Colos was angry, and Mark was also ready to take the initiative to come and dialed Colos's phone number first.

But Koros' phone is always shut down and then transferred to the voicemail.

"Dear, I have one thing to tell you about what happened last night in the magazine. In fact, it was just because of the invitation of my teammates. There was nothing else that happened. If you hear me, please call me back." Mark finally left a message to Colos' voicemail.

However, Kroos did not call Mark back, which caused Mark to be in very bad training for one day. Atletico Madrid players felt that Mark seemed to be really affected by that incident.

Cooper also shook his head repeatedly after seeing Mark's training state. It was obvious that Cooper was not very satisfied with Mark's performance on the training field.

But Cooper had already had a direct talk with Mark, so there was no need for him to talk with Mark again. If Cooper asked Mark to talk to him again, it might cause Mark's disgust and disrespect for Mark's professional state.

Mark didn't know how to return home. Anyway, Kolos' phone number was never connected, and after he didn't call Mark back, Mark could not concentrate on training.

Mark was always wondering what was going on with Colos, "Are you resenting me?" Mark couldn't help thinking in his heart.

That's it, Mark thinks things are different from others, and Mark thinks things at the worst, so Mark feels that this is really possible, and Colos may be really angry.

But Mark had no choice but to do so, because he was walking the Italian catwalk and Mark was unable to leave Madrid without the permission of the head coach.

But if Mark asked the head coach for leave because of this matter, Mark really wouldn't have the confidence that Cooper would approve his request.

"Damn, if I can't do it, I'll go there overnight. There's only one way." After returning home in a desperate situation, Mark said secretly in his heart that there was still someone waiting for him in Mark's home.

This person is Sylvia. As Colos's friend and Mark's sister, she naturally has to have something to do with Mark's affairs, so when she learned about Mark's scandal, she also came to Mark's home very concerned about the whole story.

"Sister, you are here, I know what you meant. No problem, I can tell you clearly about what happened last night." Mark knew what happened after seeing Sylvia coming.

After seeing Sylvia smiling and nodding, Mark knew that what she said should be right, so Mark also made simple memories of what happened last night and said to Sylvia.

"Is this really the only one?" Sylvia asked with some doubts.

"Don't you believe me? I have no scandals in the city of love in Amsterdam, let alone in Madrid. I didn't expect that I was in this position in your heart. It really made me so sad." Mark also pretended to be very sad.

"Haha, you little guy, I'm just curious, and I'm not worried about you. Naturally, I believe in my good brother, so I'll feel relieved. You don't know how afraid I was that this thing would make the truth before," Sylvia said as she patted her mouth and said with a look of fear.

"By then, Du Chen's phone number was never reached. I was really worried that she would be misled by the media." Mark's expression suddenly became very sad. The joked Mark just now disappeared, and suddenly became a more sad Mark.

After seeing Mark's performance, Sylvia felt a little distressed. She held Mark in her arms and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I believe Du Chen should also know that this is a hype by the media. If you explain it to her, there should be no problem. I think she should be busy with work, so she didn't turn on the computer."

"Yeah!" Mark also buried his head in Sylvia's mouth. Mark felt very warm at this time. Someone comforted him by Mark's side, which made Mark's mood slightly better.

After a while, Mark felt much better, and Mark suddenly reacted. Mark felt that the actions with Sylvia seemed to be a bit too close this time.

Although Sylvia is Mark's fucking sister, the two of them hugged each other like this still made Mark feel a little blushed. Perhaps this is not something among Westerners, but Mark is a subtle oriental after all, and he already has someone he likes, and he doesn't plan to play with life.

"Haha, Mark didn't expect you to blush. You are so cute." Sylvia teased at Mark. In her opinion, what happened just now didn't seem to be a problem.

"Haha, I didn't blush," Mark said with some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, okay, no blushing, Mark is a big man," Sylvia said as if she was coaxing a child.

Mark's brain was out of black lines. Mark felt that Sylvia was really teasing him as a child, and Mark seemed very helpless.

Mark still seemed to be very rude in the remaining games, because Colos had not called him back for a long time, which made Mark feel very depressed.

But Mark did not go to Italy to find Kolos, because Van der Fate also returned to Madrid after the national team match day. Van der Fate also persuaded Mark that he should use the game position and play every game with peace of mind. Kolos should not be the kind of person who is unreasonable.

Although Mark was still not very relieved, Mark felt that what Van der Fate said was right. Mark still did not go to Italy to find Sylvia, and Atletico Madrid would also face the next opponent.

Atletico Madrid will face the next opponent at home, with Numancia, the second-last in La Liga.

Since its establishment in 1945, Numancia has been traveling back and forth in all levels of Spain, with ups and downs, but they are more likely to hover in low-level leagues, with only two seasons in the top leagues 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. This is their second time to be promoted to Class A after two years of hard work in the Class B.

Numancia is a young team with no outstanding record in history. Apart from the champions in the low-level league, Numancia has no capital to show off. Numancia's home birdie stadium can only accommodate 9,500 spectators, and is the smallest home court among La Liga teams. After being demoted to Class B in 2001, the new chairman Oort injected a lot of money into the club, which made the team cheer up again.

Last season, Numancia returned to the First Division, but after successfully advancing to the First Division, the meritorious coach Hernandez said that he would not continue to coach the team this season. In this case, the club chose young coach Francisco Lopez. However, he had never coached the La Liga team before, so people are not optimistic that he led this team with poor strength to complete the reporting task. This summer, Numancia has a big difference in the transfer market, and they attracted Korean player Li Tianxiu from Real Sociedad. However, overall, the overall level of the new players is average, and the team can only be said to have maintained the level of last season. The only advantage is that the age structure is relatively reasonable.

Before the start of the game, all Atletico Madrid players believed that the team could easily win the game, and of course, this is also the hope that Mark can continue his super game state.

However, due to the emotional life, Mark did not focus on his attention in the game and did not continue his previous super state. Atletico Madrid's core players, Torres, Van der Fate and Glencier, were all trapped in the previous European Cup qualifiers.

These three players are the main players of their respective national teams. They have played 90 minutes of games, and coupled with the fatigue of the journey, they are not in good condition.

Numancia set up an iron barrel formation at Calderon Stadium with the determination to get one point away. Although Cooper set up a three-forward formation at the last moment, there was no effective way. Atletico Madrid was unfortunately tied by Numancia.

After the game, the newspaper also criticized Mark's performance on the court. They believed that Mark had fallen into sleepwalking on the court, and the newspaper also ridiculed Mark for spending all his strength on the NV people.

Mark was not very concerned about these things. Although he performed poorly in a game, he could not replace Mark's main player. Mark was still one of the main players of Atletico Madrid, but Cooper couldn't help it. He found Mark again and asked.

"Mark, what did you do in the last game? That's not the level you should have. Are you not ready to play football well?" Cooper called Mark and asked loudly in the office.

"I know I'm not doing well on the court, but please believe me coach, I will adjust my condition," Mark said to Cooper without any jingle.

Mark's mind was not in Cooper's conversation at this time. What Mark was thinking about was what happened to Colos. Are he planning to disappear? There was no news at all. Is Colos so angry?

Cooper also seemed helpless when he saw Mark's expression, but Cooper felt that Mark's mind was not on the court. Cooper felt that Mark could no longer appear in the starting lineup.

"You will appear in the bench in the next League Cup game, and you will think about how to play better on the bench," Cooper said to Mark.

"Okay, if there is nothing, I'll go out," Mark said without caring about Cooper's words.

Mark's reaction also surprised Cooper, because Mark gave Cooper a feeling that he was a very strong player. If Mark was usually placed on the bench, Mark could keep pestering Cooper and asking him to say something.

But at this time, Mark accepted such a suggestion abnormally, which surprised Cooper. At the same time, Cooper also felt that Mark's recent life problems really need to be dealt with well, otherwise, a player who made such a sè might have fallen into this.

As a professional coach for many years, Cooper has also seen many players in various ways. Of course, these players have become sluggish because of some emotional things, and have spent a lot of talent.

Cooper still thinks that such players are a pity, and Cooper also asked Mark to calm down on the bench and adjust his mentality well, so that it would be more conducive to Mark's performance.

Because every head coach has a type of player he likes, and Mark is the type of player Cooper likes. Cooper's love for such hardworking and all-round players as Mark even surpasses that of Atletico Madrid's golden boy Torres.

This is also Cooper's good intentions. As for whether Mark has seen it, it is hard to say, but I believe that Mark is such a smart player, he will definitely know Cooper's painstaking efforts in the future.

"Hey, I didn't expect that it was because of the scandal outside the court that actually had such a big impact on your condition." Cooper said helplessly after Mark left.

"Mark, what did you do in the last game? Why are you in such a low state? Are you still thinking about what you have to do with Du Chen?" Van der Fat asked Mark when he returned to the training ground.

"Hey... no, it's just normal ups and downs, don't worry," Mark sighed, and said to Van der Fate.

To be honest, Mark's acting skills are very bad. Van der Fate also saw at a glance that Mark was still a little worried about the previous events, and then he could not let him concentrate on the game, but this may also be a growth process for Mark.

Because Mark's football career has always been bumpy, from being terminated by the team at the beginning, then going smoothly in the Netherlands, then Spain was suppressed by the head coach, and then to being reused by the head coach who had changed his trust.
