Chapter 131
At night, Port Elizabeth is like a gorgeous dancer wearing a scarf, quiet and prosperous are skillfully blended, the Indian Ocean and the mountains face each other, and the natural formation of the port makes Port Elizabeth the largest wool trading market in South Africa.
Located on the southwestern side of the Indian Ocean, it is known as a "good city" and a "windy city".
Su Qingjia came to South Africa for the first time, and when she got off the plane, she was shocked by the heat wave and the breath of freedom that spread in the air.
In the World Cup finals, the 32-team draw was divided into eight groups, Spain were in Group H, and Carlos will make his World Cup debut tonight at the Port Elizabeth Stadium after Honduras vs Chile.
Su Qingjia and Shen Ke entered together, at ten o'clock, the sky was already full of stars, due to the influence of climate and forests, the sky here was deep and bright, the stars were big and bright, but no matter how bright they were, they couldn't compare to the beautiful stadium in front of them.
Port Elizabeth does not have a professional football stadium, and in order to host the World Cup, the local government began to build a new stadium several years ago. When Su Qingjia came, Mr. Shen Ke had already made a fuss about the situation here.
Mr. Agent was very excited all the way, his mental state was good, he slept a satisfying sleep after the press conference, and after eating and drinking, he found that the results of the press conference were beyond his imagination, Carlos also threw him a few air tickets, he vaguely seemed to see a beautiful Chinese girl smiling at him.
After this game, he can take a big vacation and prepare for the 28th blind date conference.
So Shen Ke was all the way - ( ̄ ̄) satisfied face.
What he was thinking in his heart, Su Qingjia didn't want to guess anymore, she just begged Shen Ke to stop singing.
"There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village, she is good-looking and kind, with a pair of beautiful big eyes, thick and long braids......" Shen Ke sat on the family seat and hummed, with a message on his head that read "Victory" as always!! If it weren't for Shen Ke's hard work, Su Qingjia would really use adhesive tape to glue his mouth.
Shen Ke said that this cloth strip has a history, and he has experienced the enlightenment of a high monk, and with this, Carlos will have divine help.
Su Qingjia: Hehe.
"It's not popular to call girl Xiaofang now, and I don't wear thick braids anymore." Su Qingjia tactfully reminded that she finally knew why Shen Ke was not bad and golden, and he had been failing on a blind date, so he was already out for this love song.
"What's that pop called?" Shen Ke also felt quite right, and turned his head seriously and asked.
Su Qingjia was choked by him, and only felt that this idiot was hopeless.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Ke held his chin and thought for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, it's popular to call sister." ”
Su Qingjia looked at him with an expression of "I'm so smart" and asked, "Why is it popular to call me sister?" ”
"Because Chinese girls always like to call people brother, and they also say Oba in Korean. Of course, I have to follow in the footsteps of my Chinese children, and I can't worship foreign flattery, so it's better to call my sister. Shen Ke raised his eyebrows, "You are abroad all the year round, and it is normal that you can't keep up with the trend." ”
Su Qingjia: "......"
Su Qingjia silently turned his face away, Shen Ke didn't care, he just changed the tone in his mouth-
"Sister, you sit on the bow of the boat, oh oh, brother, I walk on the shore, and I love and love the rope ...... leisurely."
Su Qingjia: "......"
Port Elizabeth Stadium can accommodate 48,000 spectators, the whole stadium is beautiful and generous, the top design is unique, each ceiling is like a petal, the stadium is surrounded by a "lotus" blooming on the edge of the Indian Ocean, in the deep night, the glittering white light from the central open mouth outward, such a style makes many fans who regret not to buy tickets are also addicted, stay outside the stadium all night.
The passage set up in the stadium is bright and spacious, the Spanish team wears a red jersey to enter, and at the front is the captain of the national team, Casillas, who is a legendary goalkeeper cultivated by the Madrid youth team, playing for the Spanish Real Madrid club, with a good psychological element, stable state, and no obvious weaknesses in defense, and is considered to be a legendary man after the legendary Spanish goalkeeper Subisareta, and the fans call him "San Cassie".
Casillas, 27, led Spain to the European Championship two years ago and finished fourth in the Ballon d'Or that year, with the Barcelona captain winning the title.
Although it was a sworn rival, Casillas did not exclude Carlos, on the contrary, there was some sympathy. It was only later that Carlos learned from Oleg that Casillas had also been misunderstood by fans.
Su Qingjia couldn't help but stand up and look at it, there was a distance from the passage here, and she couldn't see the face clearly, but she just couldn't control the excitement in her heart.
When Carlos came out, the lights on the field seemed to brighten up, reflecting his blonde hair, and his shallow smile appeared on the big screen. Although the cameraman should not always put the camera on his face, who told him to be on camera? The cameraman lingered for a while before zooming out the camera and giving a full picture.
At this time, the Swiss players also came out wearing white shirts, and the two sides were white and red, forming a strong contrast and momentum contest.
After a polite greeting, the referee tossed the copper coin and blew the opening whistle.
The big screen scrolled through the starting line-ups of both sides, with Spain taking a 4,321 formation and Switzerland having a 442 formation.
The Spanish side, with the exception of Oleg, Carlos and goalkeeper captain Casillas, are all small men and have the advantage of flexibility, while Switzerland's advantage is strength.
In the previous days of training, Spain suffered a recurrence of a midfield injury and failed to get into the starting line-up, and was replaced by a young 22-year-old substitute.
Spain is known as the king of the qualifiers and the king of the group stage, and they took the rhythm of the game into their own hands from the beginning.
Under the panoramic lens, Su Qingjia can't see Carlos's face, but her eyes can always find him on the field, maybe because his blonde hair is too dazzling, or maybe she is too familiar with him.
He was a very fast runner and it was his World Cup debut, but he was not afraid of the stage and the three Champions League trophies in his hands were his confidence.
After more than a month, Carlos stood on the field again, and before he put on the jersey, he was in a trance for a moment.
The solemn atmosphere of the match and Bosque's increasingly passionate encouragement made him feel that he was really back on the field. Although he had some regrets that it was not for Barcelona, he still chose the number 23 shirt.
Yes, the number 23 jersey he has always loved. It was printed on the red fabric with his name written on it.
When it came time to choose a jersey for the national team, he did not hesitate to choose this one. He wants to be here, relying on his strength, to tell the world that the No. 23 midfielder is still the same No. 23 midfielder, no matter where he is, no matter what happens, he will not be defeated.
The turf still has a familiar touch, the crowd still shouts strongly, and the football still cuts a beautiful arc.
He looked at the family seat after stealing the pass.
He's still going to score goals for his girls.
Oleg wears the number seven shirt and he did not choose his number 17 at Chelsea.
When he picked up the number, Carlos didn't say anything, except that later there was an extra box of rainbow lollipops in Oleg's room.
The youth brothers grew up and ran towards different futures, but fate was so kind to them, and in the end, they could still wear the jerseys of their childhood, with their childhood dreams, and play together in the World Cup for the same goal.
And their coordination is seamless.
The commentator also noticed this, saying when Oleg dribbled the ball and passed it back to Carlos in the next moment: "Oh, they worked together so well, we could see that after passing the ball to Seven, Number 23 quickly ran to the front of the penalty area, and Number Seven passed the ball to Number 23 the moment he arrived, oh my God, Number 23 shot on goal - the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper, and now it was the Swiss left winger who controlled the ball, and the other Spanish midfielder broke the ball at his feet and the ball was back in Spain's hands......"
Oleg was kicked in the knee by the Swiss midfielder in the 12 minutes and the referee awarded Spain a free-kick in front.
Carlos ran over and pulled him up, Oleg waved his hand to signal that he was okay, and the replay of the screen showed slow motion between the scrambles.
'It's a free-kick in front of Spain, taken by midfielder Carlos, and the Spanish manager has a lot of trust in the first-time World Cup player. Carlos stood at the back of the ball, and the Swiss players formed a human wall.
Oleg winked at him.
At this time, only Oleg would do such a funny action.
Su Qingjia also happened to capture it from the screen that swept by, and she remembered that in the match between Barcelona and Chelsea, Oleg was the human wall opposite Carlos, and he made a gesture of love to his brother.
He's always been a bit ridiculous, but he's genuinely good to Carlos.
With the placement of the human wall, Su Qingjia's mind also had a moment of solemnity.
Carlos hasn't played in an official game for a long time, and no one can know whether the accuracy and accuracy are the same as before, it's not that she doesn't have confidence in him, but she knows that ten years of hard work, once negligent, is a fault, and it can't be filled.
Shen Ke also had this concern, but he opened his throat and shouted, shouting Chinese in a northeastern accent, mixed with the voices of the people around him, and he couldn't tell what he was talking about.
The referee blew the whistle on his chest and Carlos stepped forward to assist.
The wall spread out at the moment he was on his feet, blocking every possible landing point according to the deployment, and the goalkeeper tensed up, ready to jump or save.
However, the ball didn't fly straight out as they expected, he hooked his toes, the ball bounced straight up, Carlos made another jump, and showed a short lob shot at the entrance of the box!
When the ball passed over the heads of the Swiss players, they knew that Carlos' assist was a feint at all, and he relied on this way to separate the wall and make the goalkeeper make mistakes, so he could seize the opportunity and score with free throws!
Sure enough, under the gaze of more than 40,000 pairs of eyes, the ball went in!
Oleg lunged over and hugged Carlos, who was shaken by him and felt a pain in his chest, but patted him on the back anyway. Who told Oleg that the ball was bought by an injury? They share a common honor.
Su Qingjia jumped up from her seat, fortunately she was dressed lively, not like an ordinary lady, but that's it, Shen Ke also snorted: "Hey, careful image, you are a goddess, goddess, do you understand?" ”
"Then you can get off the stool if you have one." Su Qingjia replied. Shen Ke was so excited that he stood directly on the chair and shouted wildly.
Shen Ke, who doesn't come down, doesn't come down: "......"
In the end, Shen Ke still came down, he squatted down silently, and then sat on the stool, rolled his eyes a few times for Su Qingjia, and continued to shout.
In the group stage of Group H of the World Cup, Carlos scored in the 14th minute.
He told everyone with excellent grasp, precise arcs, and high-spirited posture -
There is one kind of player who can never be defeated!
Carlos, in full anticipation, ran to the nearest camera, he was afraid that the camera would not give him a close-up.
The iconic gesture of love was once again on his chest.
The tattoo jumps again and again.
