Southampton is located in the southernmost part of England and has the warmest climate in the UK.
Snow is rare, but there is a lot of rain.
In February, the sea breeze blowing from the Solent Strait, bringing with it the wet cold, covered the glass of the windows with a hazy mist.
Sitting in the warm room, looking out, it seemed like a vast sea Fantasy world.
Varane sat in front of the desk under the window, turned on the ED reading light, and opened a thick textbook in front of him.
After coming to Southampton, he did not suspend his studies like other professional players.
The Saints also respect players' personal choices and strongly support players to continue their education.
Because they believe that professional football is becoming more and more refined and rigorous, and a good cultural level can help players better adapt to the changes in professional football, and at the same time, it can also help players take better care of themselves.
Therefore, after Varane came to Southampton, he entered the best school in Southampton to further his studies.
As a Southampton professional player and the main defender, Varane became a star student in the school.
Fans asked him for autographs wherever he went, and he received several love letters from female classmates almost every day. .
This made the young French boy who was just in love couldn't help but smile happily every time he thought about it.
Even though his performance has been very poor recently and he has been criticized and criticized by many media and reporters, his classmates still give him support and encouragement.
But what moved him most was the recognition from the team.
Just this afternoon, head coach Bielsa called him into the office, had a good talk for half an hour, and told him that Master Huan personally made the decision that Southampton wanted to sign a new contract with him.
There is no need to say more about what this means.
Signing a new contract means a promotion and a salary increase.
Thinking of this, Varane's heart felt warm on this cold winter night.
"Master Huan and the team are so good to me, I have to work harder, come on, Rafael" Varane murmured to himself to encourage himself, and almost tied a white scarf on his head, with two words written on it, "We must win" Just when he turned his attention to the textbook on the table again, intending to concentrate on reading, he heard the vibrating sound of his cell phone.
When he took it over and took a look, it turned out to be an unfamiliar name.
"Who is calling at such a late hour?"
Varane muttered, but since they are calling, just answer it.
"Hi, hello, is this Raphael?"
A man's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Yes, hello, who are you" Varane asked.
"Have you forgotten that I am Zinedine?"
"Zinedine" Varane was confused for a moment.
It seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
Who is this?
"Yes, it's me.
Please forgive my presumption, but I do have something very important to talk to you about.
I wonder if you have time to talk on the phone."
The person on the other side of the phone who claimed to be Zinedine asked road.
Varane snorted, "Sorry, I'm studying and don't have time."
He couldn't remember who Zinedine was, and his tone was naturally not very good.
There are too many scammers these days, and there are countless people who call to scam you.
It’s funny to say that the guy on the other side of the phone who claimed to be Zinedine couldn’t remember who he was, but he acted as if he was very familiar with me.
He couldn’t be here to defraud him, right?
"Oh, I'm not kidding you.
It's really important and related to you, and I only need a few minutes."
Varane curled his lips and said, "Oh, okay then, just tell me."
Even if he is a liar, he is also a very sincere liar.
Just listen to what he has to say.
"I am pleased to inform you that I have solemnly recommended you to Real Madrid.
They are very interested in you and have entrusted me with full authority to negotiate with you on behalf of Real Madrid." real Madrid Varane has naturally heard of this team, the world's top wealthy team.

But Real Madrid takes a fancy to him He also entrusted a guy whom he didn't know at all to talk to him.
What's more, calling so late What's going on Isn’t this what the newspapers say is the most common trick used by phone scammers?
Damn you, think of me as one of those old men and women in their 70s and 80s Am I so easy to deceive?
How can I put it this way?
I am also a top student and a top student, okay?
Thinking of this, Varane suppressed the annoyance in his heart and wanted to see what tricks he was playing.
"By the way, Rafael, I want to ask you a question, what do you think of Real Madrid?"
"It's very good.
Almost all professional players in the world dream of playing for a palace-level team."
"Well, you're right."
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and agreed.
"I want to tell you, Rafael, now you have a chance to join Real Madrid, put on a white jersey, and play at the Bernabeu Stadium."
Listening to the tone, it seems to be describing an extremely lofty dream.
But Varane suddenly asked, "How much does it cost?"
The other party seemed completely unaware that such a noble and elegant dream would be related to vulgar money.
"What did you say" "I mean, tell me, how much would I have to pay you if I wanted to play for Real Madrid?"
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for two or three seconds before he hesitated and said, "You, you" "It's yours, Mr.
Liar, I won't be fooled."
After saying that, he laughed with pride, as if he was very satisfied with having discovered the phone scam.
"I'm a liar" The person on the other end of the phone was almost going crazy.
"You actually call me a liar.
Zidane has played football all his life and I have never been so misunderstood by anyone.
You actually call me a liar."
"Zidane" Varane was stunned.
Only then did he suddenly realize Isn't it?
Zidane's name is Zinedine Zidane Oh my God, the idol of French players actually called me, but I thought he was a phone scammer.
Oh, Maga, this world is so crazy "Sorry, Mr.
Zidane, I misunderstood.
There have been a lot of phone scams in the UK recently, so" Zidane on the other side of the phone was filled with depression.
He had always been hopeless and unlucky after announcing his name.
When was he actually regarded as a liar?
I fainted.
But he didn't dwell on anything anymore, and instead began to present evidence to win Varane's trust.
For example, he got Varane’s mobile phone number from the French national team.
"Raphael, you should believe it now" "Well, believe it, believe it."
Varane immediately smiled and nodded.
Zidane, that has been his idol since childhood, how can he not be happy?
"Then what do you think about joining Real Madrid?"
As soon as Zidane asked this question, Varane's smiling face suddenly froze.
Transfer to Real Madrid "We are all very optimistic about your ability, and we all know clearly that your recent situation in the Premier League is not ideal.
Real Madrid has agreed to the plan to introduce you.
As long as you nod, they don't have to do anything.
I will send someone to negotiate with Southampton.”
Varane was silent, staring blankly in front of the window glass covered with a layer of hazy water mist.
He seemed to see his own reflection in the glass.

Join Real Madrid It would be a lie to say that I am not moved at all.
How many professional players in the world can face an invitation from Real Madrid without being overwhelmed with excitement?
But after his initial excitement, he soon calmed down again.
Is going to Real Madrid really better than staying at Southampton?
Can the chairman of Real Madrid care and take care of himself like Master Huan?
Varane shook his head vigorously.
He knew very well that this was impossible.
"Why don't you speak?"
Zidane was a little surprised.
"Perhaps, I can give you more time to talk to your family and agent."
Unexpectedly, Varane shook his head lightly, "No, thank you, Zinedine."
"Um" "I think I decided to renew my contract with Southampton."
"Why?"
Zidane was a little surprised.
How can anyone in this world refuse an invitation from Real Madrid?
"There is no reason.
Maybe I would like to play for Real Madrid if I have the opportunity in the future, but at least for now and in the next few years, I prefer to stay in Southampton, because everything here makes me feel impeccable."
Impeccable Zidane found that he had nothing to say.
Although outside media and reporters have criticized Varane, it sounds like Southampton is very optimistic about the young central defender and intends to renew his contract.
This is undoubtedly the greatest encouragement and affirmation that a club can give.
Comparing my feelings, even if I am a player, I will definitely choose to stay.
"Okay, I understand."
Zidane was not the kind of person who liked to pester, so he immediately expressed his stance with a smile.
"That's also good.
I hope to continue to see your wonderful performance in Southampton.
At the same time, I also hope you understand that we are friends.
If you need any help, you can call me at any time."
"Okay, thank you, Zinedine" “You’re welcome”
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
But a few days later, when Zidane was interviewed by the Spanish media, he took the initiative to mention this matter with a smile, and called Varane a top student with a smile.
As a result, this title followed Varane.
On the other hand, the contract renewal negotiations between Southampton and Varane are going extremely smoothly.
Since Yang Huan has stated that he will do his best to renew the contract of Varane, the future core of the defense, and Varane is very willing to renew the contract, the two parties basically negotiated the terms of the contract as soon as they came into contact.
The remaining details were all sorted out within the next two or three days.
After the negotiations were completed, Southampton immediately held a press conference and solemnly announced Varane's five-year contract extension.
This was also greatly appreciated by Saints fans.
There is no doubt about Varane's strength and potential.
At best, his recent form has been relatively poor, but his future is still bright.
At the press conference to renew the contract between the two parties, Varane also expressed his gratitude to the club and Master Huan, and reiterated that he will not leave Southampton and will only play for the Saints.
This statement also won him praise from fans again.
At the weekend, after entering February, we ushered in the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League.
Southampton challenged Wigan Athletic away.
The latter is currently ranked 18th in the Premier League this season and has fallen into the relegation zone.
As a result, Southampton showed no mercy.
Bielsa's team relied on Ibrahimovic's brace, Neymar and Gareth Bale's goals to defeat Wigan 4-0 away from home. sports.

After the game, Ibrahimovic won the man of the match award.
Toni Kroos, who has been in hot form recently, is still performing well.
The double midfielder combination with Modric once again helped Southampton win the opponent.
But Varane didn't even make the squad for the game.
Because when Bielsa gave him his request, he was fully prepared for the game against Manchester City.
This is a key battle related to Southampton's further advancement in the league standings.
