62. Chapter 62

The weather is getting hotter and the summer monsoon is taking full control of the continent, and the number of tourists entering and leaving the Italian peninsula has increased dramatically, with men and women wearing red and blue jerseys or red jerseys stepping off planes every day.

The city, known as "the world's largest open-air history museum", has become crowded with the annual hotspot events, with flags flying around the Olympic Stadium every day, and the government has had to step up its efforts to protect it from fan fights, which are not uncommon.

Su Qingjia felt the pressure of the event very sensitively, and the air currents of the violent collision passed silently.

Carlos kept smiling in front of her, but she knew that he was actually uneasy in his heart, and the pace of time was getting closer and closer, six days, five days, four days, three days, two days, one day, every minute and every second she could feel the heaviness of the atmosphere.

There has been a lot of media coverage, with the United boss and Rijkaard both demonstrating against each other.

The comments are varied, and praise and decline fly together.

For Carlos, a young player who performed well or even amazed in the previous tournament, in addition to praise and expectation, there are also many people who believe that he will become a short-lived flower, and the blooming fragrance will not last long.

Don't you see that there are more dazzling geniuses in history, how many of them can finally enter the palace and shine all the time?

The world of football is so cruel, and it is precisely because of this bloody beauty that it attracts people who advocate strength to follow one after another, and the charm is enduring.

This city, which staged a massacre thousands of years ago, has witnessed the arrival of a fight.

Barcelona have not won a gold medal in 14 years since winning the title in '92, and this is the closest they have come to success.

They carry the hope of hundreds of millions of people on their shoulders.

The Barcelona boss has always forced himself to keep his spirits up, he has a new hairstyle, his head is shiny, his beard and clothes are well groomed, and he has to boost the morale of his players.

It was Barca's best result in the Champions League in three years, and they were just one step away from winning the trophy and their name would go down in the club's illustrious history.

Victory is so close, laurels are full of magic, and olive branches adorn the hero's majesty.

On the afternoon of 28 May, Su Qingjia was seated with other family members who had come to watch the battle.

The glow of the sky hung over the entire Olympic Stadium, the magnificent clouds kept changing shapes, and the cries of war shook the sky as dusk came.

Su Qingjia held the pearl bracelet on his left hand, and his heart was full of longing and sweetness.

When she said goodbye to the hotel today, she gave Carlos a kiss, and the little golden retriever picked her up and put her on the steps, making the two almost equal height.

So close, his long eyelashes touched the bridge of her nose, a little itchy between swiping up and down, he hugged her tightly, her chest ached, but she didn't break away, she could feel the rapid heartbeat and breathing from his chest.

After a while, the boy let go of her, and gently smoothed her long hair, his strength was slight, and his blue-gray eyes were like the stillness of the Mediterranean, and he took her left hand, and then took off the chain from her hand.

The chain had been with her for many years, and there were faint traces of repair at the link, and the pearl began to become a little dull, a little inappropriate in size, and sometimes jammed her wrist, but she still carried it every day, and when she was in a bad mood, she saw that its haze was blown away.

In her quizzing gaze, Carlos pulled another bracelet out of his pocket.

The style is exquisite, with perfectly cut diamonds and round, full-bodied pearls that shine in the sun in a dreamy way.

Carlos nudged her wrist and smiled as she brought it for her, just the right size, she shook her wrist a little, the light chain flickering with her movements.

The boy's dimples were deep, and the deep baritone voice was flowing into her heart with the sweetness of honey: "My most beautiful girlfriend, my lord, for your birthday." ”

He promised the girl that he would put on a new bracelet for her, and he picked it for a long time during the French competition, and even returned to the team late, and finally found the treasure that suited him best.

He was going to give it to her early in the morning, but after thinking about it, he decided to give her the bracelet on this day, a particularly important day in his life.

He brought her a beautiful chain and hoped that, after the game, she would crown him the crown of victory.

The black-haired doll would look at him from the family table with a heartfelt gift, and she would reach out to applaud him, and the pearls would shine next to her face as she shouted.

Su Qingjia looked at the boy in front of him, the advantage of the steps made them almost the same height, the top of his soft and fluffy hair was jumping shiny, the west slanting sun cast a shadow on his cheeks, and she saw that his eyes were flowing with tenderness and lingering.

It was clear, and he cut open his heart and gave her a look.

Su Qingjia wrapped his arms around his neck, hugged him again for a while, and said, "Thank you, I like it very much." ”

The little golden retriever shook his ears and got another sweet kiss.

"I love every gift you give, whether it's expensive or cheap, as long as you have the heart, I think it's enough, my most handsome boyfriend, come on today!" Su Qingjia raised the pear vortex, and her amber eyes reminded Carlos of an aged wine, so warm and dense.

He nodded vigorously, took a step back, and waved goodbye to her.

Su Qingjia also waved his hand and said, "See you on the court." ”

The hotel lobby was packed with media and fans, and the strong flashing lights blurred the vision.

When the whole Barcelona team came out, although they were in a hurry, they still spontaneously gave way to a way, and the coach thanked everyone.

Before getting into the car, Carlos looked back at the girl standing in the doorway, touched the tattoo on her chest, and then stared with determination.

Vehicles drive to the stadium, the masterpiece of architects, with a capacity of 100,000 spectators.

The Olympic Stadium in Rome fully absorbs the essence of ancient architecture, and then adds the creation of modern design, the ancient and modern architectural styles are integrated, colliding in the fusion, and there is a harmonious rhythm in the strong contrast.

It has hosted many major competitions such as the Olympics, the World Cup and Serie A, and tonight it will be home to one of the most exciting matches in the Champions League.

The costumed orchestra plays "Champions League", a religious ode to the theme song commissioned by British composer Tony Britten at the request of UEFA, with simple but powerful lyrics that repeatedly call "they are champions" and "they are the best team" in UEFA's three official languages – French, English and German.

The fans dyed the entire grandstand area in the team's colours, with Manchester United spelling out a red alphabet for Manchester City, while Barcelona spelled out the colour of Barcelona's red and blue jerseys on the second floor, and even the badge on the chest was visible, and the first layer was spelled out as a giant "football".

The camera swept far away, and it was extremely magnificent.

The lights were bright, accompanied by singing, and the players walked out of the tunnel, Barcelona wore the red and blue jerseys at home, Manchester United wore white, and each player carried a child who was almost waist-high.

This is selected by the organizer in the local football school or primary school, FIFA regulations: in order to make the football concept more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, all international A-level football events and some important football matches, must bring ball boys into the venue, male and female.

Carlos was carrying a black boy with curly hair, a big smile, dark skin with vitality, wearing a small white jersey, he liked this kid a lot, and when he was in the passage, the boy told him that although he was wearing a Manchester United shirt today, he was a Barcelona fan and his fan, and he said that he also wanted to play here in the future.

The boy had just turned ten years old, and Carlos seemed to see himself in his black eyes.

He rarely laughs in front of outsiders, but in the face of this child with dreams, he feels very warm in his heart, and when he stands still on the court, he puts his arm on the caddy's shoulder and tells him, and when it is over, he will give him a jersey with his signature, and the caddie is very happy.

In today's game, Barcelona drew the home field, and the Manchester United players lined up to shake hands with the Barcelona players in turn.

The coaches approached each other and exchanged pleasantries, and Ferguson smiled like a beardless Santa Claus with silver hair, but everyone knew his sternness. The coaches of both sides are dressed up, suits and leather shoes, Rijkaard has a young and mature style, and Ferguson has an accumulated temperament, and they do not give in.

The 27-year-old midfielder who did not have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League due to a fracture injury also came to the scene, and his younger brother pushed a wheelchair to watch the game in the family seat, the coach waved to him, Su Qingjia also greeted him, the midfielder looked in a good mood, according to what he said, the recovery was also very good, the doctor said that he was told to adjust for another half a month, and when he waited until next season, he would be able to fully recover.

Su Qingjia congratulated him, and the midfielder smiled and said that he felt that Carlos was better than him, and his table was great.

When he said this, he was not jealous, but only slightly lonely in his smile.

Every injury to a player will have a greater or lesser impact on his career, maybe next season, he will be a substitute, the coach may tilt his resources towards others, or it may be that he will be sold by the club and leave Barcelona.

Su Qingjia also knows where his loneliness comes from, but opportunities will only be left to those who are prepared, and Carlos' strength allows him to gain a firm foothold in Barcelona. She looked away, her eyes and her mind on the big screen.

The commentary kept explaining the lineups of both sides, and although everyone knew this situation very well, no one did not prick up their ears to listen.

The caddie left the field, and the five referees took a group photo in front of the camera in black clothes, and the captains of both sides shook hands in front of the referees with armbands.

Carlos walked out and glanced at the family seats, and the camera gave him a close-up, and his handsome face made the fans who came for him scream.

He smiled at Su Qingjia and made a heart gesture on his chest.

Su Qingjia also gave him a loving heart.

In such a huge arena, the children are full of affection and excitement.

The commentator joked: "Barcelona No. 23 is showing the fans a celebration again, the young Carlos seems to be in the chest, I don't know what kind of performance the two sides will have in tonight's decisive battle, let's wait and see!" ”

The exciting moment finally arrived, and at 7:30, the referee blew his whistle.

The two sides went into a state of pressing from the start.

United's three strikers are very good, the goalkeeper is even more famous, Carlos as the core of the playmaking, his current figure is firmly stuck in Manchester United's midfield, pressing high to jam their passes at the back, intercepting the possibility of the opponent to score.

Naturally, Ferguson's strong team will not sit still, and the midfielder immediately passes the ball back to the half, and the striker successfully receives the ball and attacks from the flank.

The opening state was so fast that the audience was amazed, and they didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing any wonderful moment.

Just in the third minute, Carlos' breakthrough in front of the box caused United to be awarded a free-kick for a foul.

The Red and Blue Souls shook their flags vigorously in the stands, and Rijkaard flashed his fist at Ferguson, who cut off his bubble noodle-like hair and made a new haircut.

Barcelona are penalized by the captain.
