Chapter 330: Summer in France
Fireworks and bunting flying.
With the flickering lights of the scene, the people in the stadium have already fallen into madness.
The neat drum beat accompanied the passionate saxophone performed an uplifting melody, and people kept waving their arms to the rhythm of the music, dancing and shouting selflessly.
Gradually, the pitch-black stage began to be lit up with spotlights. In front of the lonely microphone, a sunny and handsome Latin boy appeared at some point.
“La vida es Pura pasion。 (Life is pure passion)"
“Hay que llenar Copa de amor 。 (should be full of love)"
“Para vivir Hay que luchar。 (and make a living from it)"
“Un corazon Para ganar! (The mind must fight to win)"
The white squad leader carried a pink and white backpack, and two soccer balls on his headdress seemed to be two balls standing on top of his head, one on the left and one on the right.
"Here, laugh one!"
"Eggplant!" The white squad leader made a "V" gesture and smiled beautifully in front of the camera.
“OK! Good shot! My grandson Chen Tang looked at the photos in the digital camera and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is only two million pixels, this digital camera is already a very high-end product in this era. After taking the photo, my grandson Chen Tang also uploaded the photo to the website through a notebook, and then Chen Tang and promised that they would edit the photo as soon as they received it and publish it on the website.
After the "work", the day squad leader finally had the opportunity to turn around and take a good look at this magnificent triumphal arch.
As the winner of the special prize of the national football team in the World Cup, the white squad leader was able to follow the Jianghu working group to France to watch the game up close. And everyone knows the relationship between Ou Chuliang and Jianghu.com, other international players can't say for sure, but Ou Chuliang will at least meet the lucky fans selected by the domestic company.
This is also the reason why the day squad leader couldn't sleep for several nights after learning about the content of the award!
Other internationals?
Li Tie's kind of muscular man?
!
It doesn't matter if any of you don't come, as long as there is my family Chu Liang...
In this way, the day squad leader came to France with the working group as the lucky guest selected by Jianghu.com. With the pure and beautiful image of the white squad leader, he even served as the image ambassador of this trip to France, and he was also a football baby, host, reporter, etc.
In June, France is in the middle of summer, with plenty of sunshine and a pleasant climate.
Because of the worldview, fans from all over the world come from their respective countries to show off their style in this romantic country.
Along the way, the white squad leader saw many scantily clad fans, and even some people were naked, painting their bodies in the colors of the national flag.
Although they come from different places, they are all full of enthusiasm, and even when they meet strangers they don't know, they will say "hello" in half-baked French.
In just a few days, the white shift leader benefited a lot from his foreign language skills, and he was even able to chat with the locals.
This year's World Cup is hosted by France, and the father of the World Cup, Remet, is the French.
In this edition of the World Cup, the format changed again, with the 24 teams expanding to 32. Some have questioned the decline in the quality of cup competitions as a result, but FIFA values greater participation and impact.
Perhaps because of this, the white squad leader and a group of East Asian faces set foot on Europa soil.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, the other three teams representing Asia are all East Asian countries. In addition, due to China's first entry into the World Cup, many overseas Chinese from Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos and other neighboring countries of China also paid out of their own pockets to come to France to watch this football feast.
Just two days ago, the day shift leader met a group of tourists from Hong Kong, who spoke half-baked Mandarin and asked my grandson Chen Tang for directions.
"My grandson, when will we be able to meet Ou Chuliang!" In the same way, the day shift leader asks almost every day.
In fact, the national football team has chartered a flight to France on June 1 and stayed at the Sheraton Hotel. And my grandson Chen Tang and they also booked the surrounding hotels early and stayed in the next day.
On weekdays, the national football players, including Ou Chuliang, often appear in public, but most of them are group activities, such as participating in CCTV interviews and the like.
Because the coaching staff strictly forbids the players to accept interviews without permission, although the day squad leader can see Ou Chuliang from a distance every day, his desire to get close to his idol has never been achieved.
"Miss Bai, don't worry, there's always a chance." My grandson Chen Tang showed a smile that was in line with social etiquette, "We have bought tickets for all the Chinese team games, as long as the Chinese team is not eliminated, we can enter the stadium to watch the game." ”
"Although the Chinese team does not allow players to be interviewed privately, we are guaranteed to get exclusive interviews and first-hand news from Ou Chuliang during the break and after the game. At that time, you can sign or take a group photo if you want to, rest assured, Ou Chuliang is ruthless and approachable, and he will not refuse the fans' requests. ”
"Whew!!"
Hearing that he could take a photo with Ou Chuliang at close range, the white squad leader couldn't help but howl in his heart.
"Como cain y abel, like the story of Cain and Abel"
“Es un partido cruel 。 (He's a cruel opponent)"
“Tienes que pelear por una estrella 。 (You have to fight for your ideals)"
"Consigue con honor La copa del amor
“Para sobrevivir y luchar por ella ! (Fight for survival)"
“Luchar por ella! (Fight for it)"
“Luchar por ella!!! (Fight for it)"
There are two big-ass color TVs hanging on the walls of the school's cafeteria, and the dining tables in the four rows in front of it are the best seats to watch. As soon as the bell rang every morning, Xiao Feng and the other boys rushed to the cafeteria.
Although the World Cup has not yet started, the pre-game introduction of the sports channel still attracts the attention of these male students.
"You know what? Two soccer balls were used in the first World Cup. The Argentine team, which was bound to win, was defeated by Uruguay 4:2 in the end. And this result is only because the ball used in the game is different. Since both sides insisted on using their own football, the referee decided to use the Argentine ball in the first half and the Uruguayan ball in the second half. As a result, Argentina led 2-1 in the first half, but after switching to Uruguay's football in the second half, Uruguay scored three goals in a row to finally let Uruguay win the championship. The first time I sat with a stranger, the other party couldn't wait to brag to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng didn't care, but carefully took out a stationery box from his pocket, took out a few cards from it, looked down at the name on the card, and looked up at the avatar on the screen.
Before the start of this World Cup, the cards in the little raccoon were replaced by World Cup star cards.
This kind of card is beautiful and thick, and once it is announced, almost all boys can't put it down, and it has been out of control ever since.
In order to collect all the star cards advertised on the bag, many people even buy the whole box, open all of them after buying, and throw them away directly after taking a bite of each package of noodles.
Xiao Feng had to hold the stationery box several times a day, and even spent all his pocket money in order to collect cards.
"Dude, do you have a star card? Take it out and take a look! The first thing Xiao Feng said was to ask the other party for a card.
Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took out a few cards from his butt pocket, twisted them into a "small fan" like playing poker, and lit them in front of Xiao Feng.
"Acchulian, Ronaldo, Baggio, Raul, Bergkamp... Huh? What is this? Xiao Feng counted the names on it, and when he saw an unfamiliar color and avatar, Xiao Feng subconsciously reached out and pulled it away.
"Batistuta!" Xiaowei introduced, "This is an Argentine star, currently playing for Fiorentina in Serie A!" ”
Of course, Xiao Feng knew where Barty came from and where he played, but he didn't see him on the star card.
Seeing that the other party had a star card that he didn't have, Xiao Feng immediately took out a large handful of cards from another pocket, took out a few at random and put them in front of Xiao Wei and said, "I'll exchange these with you!" ”
Looking at the three Li Tie, six Su Maozhen and four Peng Weiguo handed over by Xiao Feng, Xiao Wei smacked his lips: "What do I want to do so many repeats?" ”
Little Raccoon released a total of 83 star cards, of which 23 are Chinese players. But everyone knows that except for Ou Chuliang, who is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with those international superstars, the rest of the people are qualified to be on the card by virtue of the "host".
Therefore, the easiest thing to open in the package is the Chinese star card.
Hearing the other party's refusal, Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment.
I tilted my head and thought about it, as if I didn't like to have so many of the same cards.
"So be it." Xiao Feng took out a large handful of cards just now, counted them carefully, took out 23 and handed them over again, "Oh, this time I used 23 different cards to exchange with you, right?" ”
Xiao Wei took a look, the red international card in chapter 23.
Xiao Wei was not as crazy as Xiao Feng on the collection card, but seeing that the other party was so sincere in exchanging 23 for 1, he still nodded and agreed to the deal.
23 internationals for 1 Barty, both blinked at the same time, and both felt that the deal was fair.
......
Unlike other male classmates, although Huang Wu also collects star cards, he also collects all other information related to this World Cup. At this moment, he put a stack of sports weekly newspapers he had just bought in his room and on the bed.
Like four years ago, for this World Cup, Sports Weekly specially produced a complete report on the top 32 before the game.
The difference is that in 94 it was 4 cents a piece, and this year the price has increased to 2 yuan.
But these eight cents are not worth mentioning to Huang Wu, he picked up the scissors, carefully cut the information of each national team neatly, and then put it in the folder to keep.
The passion and emotion that the World Cup has brought to men all over the world are vividly displayed at this moment.
“Tu y yo!! (You and I)"
“Ale, ale, ale!”
“Go, go, gol!!”
“Ale, ale, ale!”
“Arriba va!! (Moving Forward)"
"El mundo esta de pie!
“Go, go, gol!!”
“Ale, ale, ale!!!”
On June 10, 1998, the head of the white squad was in the Stade de France, dizzying.
At the opening ceremony, a group of strange French people walked into the stadium, dressed in bizarre doll costumes and painted in a variety of colors.
A man dressed like a rooster came to the middle of the court, picked up the ball and racketed it.
After a few strokes, the ball in his hand was snatched away by other "companions". A few people who lost the ball simply lay down on the ground in the middle circle and frolicked.
At this time, three "little bees" stepping on "stilts" slowly walked into the court, and the day shift leader opened his eyes wide and looked at the legs of the three "little bees" in surprise.
"Oh my God, its legs are at least three meters long!"
After the bees walked around the stadium for a while, a group of dolls dressed in green doll costumes poured into the stadium.
They are all over the pitch and it looks like a field of grass.
Gradually, the huge cloth pulled up by the "little grass" covered the entire French stadium, and from the air, except for a few "little bees" on stilts, only a patch of green remained on the field.
"What are they doing?" A hot girl in a bikini with a four-star Brazilian painted on her face asked aloud.
"They're pollinating!" A beautiful woman in orange who buttoned the bottom of her T-shirt to reveal a beautiful mermaid line replied.
After a while, the "little bees" on stilts came to the sidelines, and some "little bees" "flew" on the turquoise grassland with wings on their backs.
Under the amazed gaze of the audience, this turquoise lawn bloomed with five flowers: red, pink, yellow, orange, and purple. The camera zooms out, and the five flowers each bear a huge fruit.
By this time, the green space had faded in a hurry, and only five flowers were left in the stadium that bore fruit.
In the anticipation of tens of thousands of spectators, all the fruits rose in the air at the same moment. Peel off the outer "peel" and turn it into five huge soccer balls!
The soccer ball rises from the flowers, and under the sunlight, the audience is surprised to find countless dolls "flying" in the air, accompanied by the soccer ball that rises in the air.
These wire-drenched actors hold colourful smoke sticks in their hands, making the entire stadium look smoky.
Countless actors in fancy costumes gathered in the stadium again, and they beat the drums together neatly and danced the same dance to stir up the atmosphere of the scene.
When everything was ready, a rain of colourful balloons suddenly fell in the sky, bringing the atmosphere of the Stade de France to its climax.
It's a feast for the giants, the Netherlands, Italy, Argentina, Spain, France, Brazil... Ice Prince Bergkamp, Melancholy Baggio, God of War Barty, Prince Raul, Alien Ronaldo... This is a World Cup with the highest "star value", and the 72 golden generation represented by Zidane and Rivaldo is the golden age of 26 years old, and the 76 generation led by Ronaldo and Kluivert also took the stage with dazzling performances.
The 72 and 76 golden generations, the most productive and high-quality players in football history, gathered on the World Cup stage at their peak, and "rising stars" such as Thierry Henry, Trezeguet and Owen also began to emerge.
As the main goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Ou Chuliang stood in the team, looking at the strong opponents gathered around him from all over the world, and every cell in his body became restless.
"It's good to be here!" Ou Chuliang muttered to himself.
At this time, the official theme song of the 98 World Cup, "La Courdes Grands", slowly rose in the voices of the two singers, one black and one white, and the elegant melody made people listen very comfortably. However, Ou Chuliang, who has been in Europe for more than half a year, knows that this song does not have obvious French characteristics. This seems to cater to the theme of the World Cup's convergence and exchange, and looking at the opening ceremony of today's costumed attendance, I am afraid that this is also in line with the French people's unexpectedly temperament.
After humming along to the tune for a while, Ou Chuliang glanced at Li Tie, who was also excited and caused his body to stiffen, and secretly pinched his lower back.
"Ahh Brother Ou, what are you doing? ”
The sudden pain made Li Tie's skin tighten, and his body subconsciously twisted. After seeing that it was Ou Chuliang's "prank", the desperate Saburo on the court suddenly let down all his vigilance.
"Tiezi, what do you think of this song?"
Li Tie shook his head, his head was full of muscles, and he didn't have any artistic cells at all.
"It's okay." Li Tie blinked.
Looking at Li Tie's blank expression, Ou Chuliang knew that the other party didn't understand the melody at all.
"And do you know what this song is called?" Ou Chuliang asked again.
"What's it called?" This time, Li Tie was a little more modest.
"Do you mind if I play football?" Looking at the two foreigners singing passionately in the center of the stage, Ou Chuliang replied slowly.
"Don't mind." Li Tie scratched his head, as if wondering why Ou Chuliang asked such a question at this time.
