Since December 24 falls on a Monday this year, the Serie A winter break came exceptionally late this year. Some teams will have to play their last league game before the winter break on December 23 to begin their winter break.

And on December 23 this year, Lei Yi took a train alone to Turin, a major city in the north of Italy.

Ten days ago, Torino defeated Real Madrid in the final round of the Champions League group stage and qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League on goal difference. For such a result, Lei Yi sat in front of the computer and watched the game many, many times. Even though he'd been there to watch the game he felt he couldn't miss anyway, he would want to watch it many, many more times.

Each time, he didn't think carefully about the line-up and tactical changes that the two teams used in this game. He was just feeling it very purely. Feel the strength of these two European giants in that match.

That would have left him sitting there and not being able to get out of this game for a long time.

Sitting on the train, Lei Yi looked up at the electronic screens that would be present in every carriage. It shows exactly where they are at the moment. For more than two hours, the red line that represented the distance they had traveled was constantly approaching the city of Turin.

And now, he will arrive at the Plotanova train station in Turin.

Long and short legs picked up the backpack he put at his feet from the ground, unzipped it and looked inside, the backpack he was carrying was the one he had only reacted to after going out and needed to wrap a bag, and then directly ripped off the black box that the scarf was wrapped around his neck.

Maybe it's because he dresses too much like an ordinary poor high school student with long and short legs, so he just puts the big hat attached to his coat and lowers his head, so that he is not recognized all the way. The moment he walked out of the train station, he was stunned for a moment, and his still childish face looked a little dazed.

"Excuse me, do you need help?"

An older woman asked him when she saw her little long and short legs standing at the door of the train station in a daze. So Lei Yi came back to his senses and shook his head violently, and then ran away with a smile at the person.

After hesitating for a long time, the long and short legs sent a text message to the Phantom Child of the Turin team:

Where are you now? I'm in Turin, can I come to you? 】

Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed, and half an hour passed.

But the Phantom Child of the Turin team just didn't reply to him!!

So he sat in the train station with long and short legs, looking pitiful, and after hesitating for a long time, he made a phone call......

No one answered the phone!!

Although it was originally a problem of long and short legs to run over without saying a word, but at this moment he really felt the kind of grievance that he couldn't say!! But let him just run in vain and take the train back again, and he is really unwilling to come back another day!

So I stubbornly got the long and short legs that the ten coaches couldn't pull back, so I ran to the pizza shop near the train station and ordered a cup of hot cocoa, wait, wait, wait...... This time he didn't hesitate and called people every ten minutes. Finally, another hour later, the call from Long and Short Legs was finally answered!

"Hey, hey, hey! Yue Yihuang! It's me Thunder Wing! (Chinese)

"Sorry, can you say that again? leiy？ garrincha？ (Italian)

Obviously, the perseverance of the long and short legs still failed to move the heavens...... The one who picked up the call was Francisco, who was completely out of sight with him!! What's even more tragic is the long and short legs, he doesn't know that he makes Francisco dislike it so much!!

But fortunately, Francisco, who has always been called "prince" in Italian football, has a good upbringing, and he did not have any embarrassment about the small long and short legs after answering the call, but said after figuring out the cause and effect:

Francisco: "If you want to find a Huang, then I can tell you the address of the Turin team's training base." He and I are there now. ”

Thunder Wing: "Ahhhhh But didn't your winter break start yesterday? ”

Francisco: "Didn't your coach tell you that you can't relax during the holidays?" ”

Lei Yi: "Sue ...... Sue sù over ......"

Tears will flow down the long and short legs that answer this sentence. He felt as if he had discredited Lazio and Monsieur Pablo! In front of the captain of the Turin team!! How could he be like this!!

However, he finally got two pieces of good news. First, Yue Yihuang did not give him a fake communication number. Second, he now knows where he should go to find the other party!

Leaving his phone in the locker room, Yue Yihuang, who was currently training on the court, received the news from Francisco that Lei Yi was rushing here from the train station, and he was taken aback.

"Garrincha didn't tell me he was coming today."

"What a daring little devil."

After hearing what his lover said, Francisco said such a comment with a face of "I already knew".

"But...... Just let him come here? Or do we pack up and pick him up? ”

Seeing that the little ghost who has a special attachment to his lover is very unhappy, Francisco became more and more unhappy after hearing Yue Yihuang's mention, he hugged his lover and kissed the other party's eyes and said: "Didn't that little ghost tell you earlier, and now you want us to change our plans for him?" There is a self-service coffee machine in the training base, and hot chocolate is also available, can he have anything to disagree with? ”

The lover's jealous attitude amused Yue Yihuang, "But are you sure the doorman can let him in?" He's a Lazio player. ”

"Don't worry, I'll pick him up. I would indeed be worried about someone else, but just from the layout in the training base, I want to understand how we usually train? I don't think this guy is at all like someone with this kind of talent. That kid is stupid. ”

"Sisko ......"

Francisco's completely undisguised evaluation of long and short legs made Yue Yihuang reluctantly call his lover's name, but the Prince of Turin insisted on his evaluation of small long and short legs, and said:

"He wouldn't have been so stupid to know that he shouldn't have been in front of the cameras in the tunnel, especially in front of me and asking you to call him after the game! Baby, I just gave him my contact number, and told him that he can call me if he looks for you in the future. ”

Yue Yihuang: ".................."

After being silent for a while, Yue Yihuang said, "Sisko, he's only nineteen years old......

Francisco: "What's wrong with nineteen?" You were only nineteen years old when I met you! ”

About ten minutes later, Francisco's cell phone, which had been placed on the sidelines, rang. The one that rang was Francisco's cellphone!! As soon as the prince of Turin ran over to pick up the phone, he heard the long and short legs say loudly: "I've arrived!" I'm here, I'm here!! ”

Very good...... The little long and short legs really called Francisco.

Can he be more honest!!

After a deeper understanding of what kind of No. 11 of the Lazio team is, Francisco was in a better mood more than a half, and after a gesture with his partner and lover, he ran to the main entrance of the training base.

In this way, fifteen minutes later, the Prince of Turin brought back a little bird that had not even worn a scarf in the snow, and looked pitiful and aggrieved. Francisco patted him on the shoulder from behind Lei Yi, signaling that the person he was looking for was there, so he didn't recognize it if he didn't run, and as soon as he ran, he could immediately be recognized by the real fans, and he rushed towards the stadium where Yue Yihuang was!!

"One, one, one, one!"

On the way over, the long and short legs of the hat lifted by the wind were all red from the cold, and looking at the person who had been sitting on the train for a long time and waiting for a long time to find it, he couldn't react to what he should say and what he wanted to say for a while.

So, two bags of soccer balls appeared in Lei Yi's field of vision, and he asked a little apprehensively, "Are you training?" Practicing kicking leaf crushed balls? Can I take a look? ”

After hearing that question, Yue Yihuang was slightly surprised, and turned to look in the direction that Lei Yi was looking at, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, I am practicing the Leaf Broken Ball." If you want to see, you can sit there. ”

The long and short legs were so happy that they wanted to run towards the place where Yue Yihuang signaled to him, and they were stopped by Yue Yihuang again: "That gray is my scarf, you can wrap it." ”

For the next hour, long and short legs sat on the sidelines, wrapped in a scarf of the Turin team's Phantom Child, watching the opponent practice for free-kicks almost without blinking. That was the best Christmas gift Thunder Wing had ever received this year. It's not a video, but just sitting there, seeing that the ball of broken leaves, which is almost out of reach for him, is being created in front of his eyes!!

Although every shot kicked by Yue Yihuang will not turn into a broken leaf ball, after seeing Enzo's fallen leaf ball training and then seeing Yue Yihuang, Lei Yi will feel that the success rate he has seen now has almost refreshed his three views!

In this way, when Yue Yihuang finished this round of training and went to the sidelines to rest, what he saw was such a small long and short leg with bright eyes and a water bottle......

"The first time I came to the Stadio Comunale to watch the Torino derby, my good friend Domingos told me that your free-kick success rate is 6o%! But I just counted...... Felt ......"

"In the last few tests, my success rate was 63.5%."

Knowing what Lei Yi wanted to say to himself, Yue Yihuang said it for him when the opponent squeaked and couldn't figure out his free kick success rate. Then Yue Yihuang said: "It's cold now, do you want to have a cup of tea?" I left a little tea in the training base. There was also a coffee pot that I took down to make tea. It's best to drink some pu-erh in this weather. ”

"Okay!"

Although it is good for children to drink some hot cocoa, when I heard that there is a coffee pot specially deducted to make tea and drink with something as high-end as Pu'er, I think it is fresh and fun for long and short legs! I happily agreed! His two legs are already long and short and different from others, and when he jumps happily, it looks more like a South American "garrincha".

Sitting in the Turin team's training base, their building sits right in the middle of a trapezoidal sunken meadow. Sitting in the restaurant on the ground floor, instead of feeling too dark, you will feel that you are full of sunlight and greenery. Yue Yihuang took out a piece of Pu'er tea cake that was only half left, and poured a lot of boiling water into the coffee pot. Watching the boiling water flow from the top of this old-fashioned coffee maker into the pot with a piece of tea below, and then being kept warm by the chassis that has been heated, the long and short legs feel that this scene is really too homely and warm!

So Lei Yi relaxed a lot, and also chatted with Yue Yihuang about football. Listen to each other talk about the Serie A and UEFA Champions League over the years, and also talk to each other about the Brazil they miss.

"If you have the chance, you have to go to Brazil once! People who like to play football will never forget her as long as they have been there once! ”

Thunder Wing bought the Phantom Child a Brazilian pitch, and after receiving a smile and a nod from the other party, he fell silent again, and then asked very abruptly, "What is it like to play for only one team for more than ten years?" ”

"It was great. You'll have to really try it to understand it. But I can tell you if one day I'm not competitive enough to play at one of Europe's top clubs. Then I would have chosen to hang up my boots here instead of going to a lower level of competition to continue my career. That's how I feel about this team. ”

Because of the answer given by Yue Yihuang, Lei Yi frowned, thought seriously for a long time, and then asked, "I heard...... You haven't won the European Golden Boy Award. ”

Yue Yihuang thought that this little guy, who was only nineteen years old, would want to give himself another question that was very difficult to answer, but he didn't expect the other party to give such a sentence that didn't match the preface, so he replied with a smile:

"Everybody has regrets. I have few regrets. ”

After getting this answer, Lei Yi put his eyes on the backpack he was carrying again, and finally thought about it again, and then he opened the backpack suddenly, took out the black box that he wrapped in a scarf, and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Yue Yihuang.

"Here's for you."

As he spoke, Lei Yi stood up and put on his bag again, and said goodbye to the other party very solemnly.

"I'm leaving! Don't send me, I remember the way! ”

After saying this, it was clear that he was the slowest of the European first-line wingers, and his long and short legs ran away as soon as he slipped away. Leaving was as abrupt as he came. That made Yue Yihuang stand up, looked at the figure that quickly left the building after running out of the restaurant, and ran all the way in the direction of the main entrance of the training base.

Seeing Thunder Wing, who had just disappeared from the training court, Francisco also walked into the dining room and asked inexplicably, "That little imp from Lazio just left?" It's hard to get a taxi in this area. ”

"I was about to call him a car."

Yue Yihuang, who said this, stood there, dialing the number of the taxi company in Turin with his mobile phone. It was at this time that Francisco walked up to the table where they had just sat and asked, "Is this something Garrincha forgot here?" ”

"Nope." Yue Yihuang, who had confirmed the location again with the taxi company operator on the other end of the phone, turned his head, covered the microphone of his mobile phone with his hand and said, "He said this is a gift for me." ”

"Just wrap it in a scarf like this? Still wrapped up in a mess? Francisco, who really couldn't bear to agree with the taste of long and short legs, almost couldn't stand it anymore, so he tore off the scarf wrapped around in front of Yue Yihuang's eyes.

Then, the true face of that gift, which was too precious to be measured by any money, finally exploded. Exposed in front of the eyes of the two. The atmosphere in the restaurant fell silent for a moment. After seeing the silver-inlaid Italian characters on the black box and the date below, Yue Yihuang immediately rushed over in three or two steps, and then lifted the lid on the black box! Lying in the ...... It's a little golden ball.

It was the 2o4o year, the little golden ball of the European Golden Boy winner.

A player can only get the Golden Ball once in his life, the European Golden Boy Award.
