Greatest Of All Legends - Chapter 644

Chapter 644: Plan for Two? Or for Three?
Jason finally freed himself from the reporters who had been questioning him incessantly every chance they got.

Not that he didn’t understand their excitement, but he was exhausted after the game and wanted nothing more than to jump into a cold bath to wash away his exhaustion, but interviews was one of the perks of the job and not something he could avoid.

Especially after what had happened in the earlier match with him scoring the dying minute equalizer.

Luckily, the reporters seemed to have gotten what they wanted and were slowly pulling away and collating the information they had.

As he began to walk down towards the tunnel, he noticed Marcelo standing on the sidelines in a conversation with Ronaldo and he didn’t hesitate to jog up to the two of them, wanting to swap shirts with the Madrid left-back.

Marcelo was pretty accommodating and accepted Jason’s request to swap shirts but while the two of them were taking off their shirts, Ronaldo called out to Jason.

“Isn’t that the girl you went to meet before the game?” he asked, staring at a side of the field.

“And Selina Gomes?” his voice held a slight tone of shock as he noticed who was beside Temz.

Ronaldo had been too focused on preparing for the game before the match began so while he had noticed Jason going to meet up with Temz during the warm-up, he hadn’t noticed Selina Gomes at that time.

Seeing her now beside Temz who was waving and calling out in Jason’s direction thus came as a shock to the man.

“Oh, yeah. Forgot about them for a minute there,” Jason muttered, glancing in their direction.

“Hey, are you like…?” Ronaldo didn’t complete his sentence, but the meaningful look in his eyes spoke volumes.

“Young people these days definitely know how to play. She’s a beauty too,” Marcelo said with a sly grin, also joining the banter.

“Come on man, you know I got Adele,” Jason chuckled wryly.

“Like that’s supposed to mean anything,” Ronaldo said, eyeing Jason suspiciously.

“Come on man, it’s not even like that,” Jason laughed again.

“Yeah… right,” Ronaldo rolled his eyes at Jason.

“Man you need to quit,” Jason retorted and began to move, heading towards where Temz and Selina were in the stands.

They had left the luxury box and had come as near to the field as possible, being tightly shielded from the crowd by their security guards.

“So you ladies enjoy the show?” Jason asked the two ladies as he got to the side of the stands.

“Definitely, but I can’t say I understand it much,” Temz replied with a smile.

“Well, everyone’s gotta start somewhere,” Jason grinned.

“Well, it was very exciting to say the least,” Selina chimed in.

“So, does that mean you’ll come for the second leg?” Jason asked jokingly.

“Second leg? What’s that? What’s a second leg?” Temz asked in confusion.

“Uh, these types of matches are usually played twice. Once at each opponent’s home ground, so since we’ve played one here at Madrid, we’ll be playing another one at Turin later,”

“There’s other stuff like the away goal rule, but you probably wouldn’t understand that,” Jason laughed a little as he explained.

“It sounds pretty complicated,” Selina said with a furrowed brow, looking especially cute at that moment.

“Well, everything has a pretty complicated side to it, you just have to search for something you’ve not lost,” Jason laughed.

“I can’t be sure of my schedule, so, I’m not sure about whether I’ll be able to come, Temz said.

“Alright, cool. Hey, about the working together thing,” Jason asked.

“Oh, yeah, are you free anytime soon?” Temz asked, her eyes involuntarily wandering onto Jason chest that was bare since he had taken his shirt off.

“I mean, I’m free tomorrow, but I’ll be in Italy. I don’t know your schedule so…” Jason shook his head.

“Actually we’re done here actually so we can be in Italy tomorrow,” Selina cut in before Temz could say anything.

“Oh…” Jason muttered, a bit surprised as to why this had become something that involved Selina, after all, it was him and Temz who had plans.

“I guess I’ll see you ladies tomorrow then,” he finally said after weighing the situation internally.

“Yeah, I’ll call you,” Temz called out to Jason as he began walking away, waving goodbye.

“Alright, sure,” Jason replied, turning away and walking toward the tunnel, relieved to finally be able to go to the locker room.

A few camera lights still flashed at him as he walked down the field and began heading to the locker rooms, but he didn’t mind it and just kept walking to the locker room.

On his way to the locker room, he came across Ronaldo taking a picture with the MOTM award.

Smiling and giving him a thumbs up before stepping past, Jason continued walking.

Despite being the one to score the last minute equalizer against Madrid, Jason didn’t dare think that he deserved to be the man of the match for the last game because while his influence in the game and the last minute strike had been very important for the team, in terms of overall influence, he still fell a bit short.

Ronaldo not only scored, but also gave an assist and was involved in all the goals, not to mention that he was the one who kick-started a comeback when it was clear that the Uventus team was sinking.

Jason’s mind quickly shelved the matter and he could not help but think about the second leg of the semi-final tie.

Today’s game had ended in a draw, but considering the away-goal rule, Uventus currently had the upper hand which made things easier for them.

As long as they didn’t lose and ensured that Madrid couldn’t score three goals at the Allianz stadium, then Uventus could earn themselves a place in the final, however as simple as it sounded, the second leg was definitely going to be a tough match.

‘I guess I’ve come a pretty long way,’ Jason couldn’t help thinking to himself wryly.
