Chapter 172: Farewell Without Saying Goodbye
"Fan! Fan!! Fan!!! This is Fan !! ”
"Look, look, this is Fan! I just said, Fan is omnipotent! No matter what time it is, he has a way to score goals! Ha, this free kick, it's so beautiful! ”
Bastian was screaming and jumping in his seat, Xiao Fan was also excited on his neck, his hands and feet were dancing non-stop, and his mouth was screaming "babbling", the child didn't understand football, but when he saw that the people around him were cheering, he naturally shouted along with him.
"Ha, our little fan is also very happy. You love football like this, too. Then you will grow up quickly, and in the future, you will be like Fan, galloping on the green field and becoming the best player! ”
Xiao Fan was still waving his hands and feet.
Bella, however, quickly regained her composure after being excited, looking at her dancing son, and at Fan Bizhuang, who was kneeling on the field to celebrate, and Bastian's words of "the same as Fan" echoed in her head.
"Same as Fan?"
Bella suddenly had some trance, if Xiao Fan also embarked on the road of professional football when he grew up, would that be considered a son inheriting his father's business?
Shaking her head vigorously to throw some "unrealistic" thoughts out of her head, Bella continued to quietly watch the court.
……
As the whistle blew, the game ended.
With Van Bizhuang's last-minute free-kick, Manchester United finally won 2-1 against Marseille.
It was a result that satisfied the whole United team, and although the lead was not large, it was a win and took the lead. On top of that, they not only won the first leg, but also scored two away goals, which was crucial, and when they returned to home in the next leg, United had a lot more room to maneuver.
Even if it only takes one 0:0, they can advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season!
Manchester United's players celebrated with emotion on their opponents' turf.
Subsequently, the MVP of the game selected after the game also came out, and Fan Bizhuang won the title of the best in the game.
This is actually a bit reluctant, after all, except for the free kick goal at the last moment, Fan Bizhuang's overall performance in the whole game is very average. However, who made the new Mr. Golden Ball famous, and his goal decided the outcome of the game, so it is reasonable to award him the best of the match.
With the game played in the evening and the team winning away from home, Ferguson was in a good mood and in the dressing room after the game, he told his players that the team would be back in Manchester tomorrow morning and that tonight they would be able to spend their time at their own discretion, whether they stayed in the hotel or went out for a stroll.
The decision was unanimously supported by the players, including Ryan Giggs, who was particularly fond of the night, and after Ferguson's departure, they got together to discuss where to go for a while – and apparently they didn't feel tired after a big game...... Or it is precisely because of fatigue that it is more important to find some fun to relax.
After Fan Bizhuang came out of the bathroom, he had already changed into a clean and comfortable sportswear, he walked to his cabinet, packed up his things, put them all into a bucket bag, closed the zipper, slung it on his shoulder, said hello, and prepared to leave.
"Fan, aren't you going to hang out with us? The nightlife in France is fantastic, and I think you'll love it. ”
Ryan Giggs waved at Fan Bizhuang and shouted.
The group of guys didn't plan to go back to the hotel, but were going to leave the stadium and go straight outside to hang out.
Fan Bizhuang is not too interested in "nightlife", if it is usual, even if he is not in high spirits, he will go outside with his teammates to sit, of course, it is limited to sitting, if it is too "open" activities, he will definitely not stay for a long time.
But today, Fan Bizhuang has something on his mind, he wants to return to the hotel quickly and talk to Bella again.
"No, Ryan, go ahead. I was a little unwell and wanted to go back to the hotel to rest. ”
Giggs nodded disappointedly, and also knew that Fan Bizhuang's personality really didn't like the nightlife, and the most important thing was that Fan Bizhuang's performance on the field today was indeed a little "abnormal", although there were goals, but he was not excited enough, and it was estimated that he was really uncomfortable.
"Well, maybe I'm tired from the recent battles. It's better to go back early and get some rest. ”
Giggs said this, and then turned to the other teammates to chat warmly about the unrestrained and enthusiastic blonde beauty of Marseille.
"I'll go back too."
Kaka also put on his sports backpack and stood up.
Fan Bizhuang nodded, and walked out of the locker room with Kaka.
……
"There are so many people, alas, alas, I wanted to squeeze in, but I found that it was impossible, Fan's popularity is really ......"
"It's a pity that I couldn't get Fan's autograph, but ...... It's nice to be able to see Fan's performance live. ”
In the darkness of the night, a Peugeot car drove slowly on the wide road.
Bastian was behind the wheel and excited, as a die-hard fan of Fan Bizhuang, it was indeed exciting for him to be able to see his idol play football on the spot.
But......
Bastian turned back with some confusion and asked, "Why should we change the hotel, Miss Bella?" You know, I love Fan's, and if we're staying in the same hotel, maybe I'll find a chance to ask Fan for an autograph......"
"Tomorrow I want to take Xiao Fan to the amusement park, so I have to find a hotel close to the amusement park." Bella smiled and responded, "So I'm sorry Bastian, I'm afraid you're ...... this time"
Bastian actually wanted to say, "It's not too far, anyway, we drive by ourselves, even if we go to the amusement park, it won't take much time", but seeing that Bella had closed her eyes, he could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
"Miss Bella seems to be a little different from usual, it feels weird."
Bastian muttered quietly.
Then he shuddered heavily on the head.
"Drive your car, Bastian, it's a rambling one!"
Seeing Mathilde's cold eyebrows, Bastian pursed his lips, stopped talking, and drove seriously.
……
Sofitel, lobby.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the lady you are looking for has already checked out in the afternoon."
Fan Bizhuang stood in front of the service desk, his face looked a little lost, but he still said a little unwillingly: "Can you check again?" Maybe it's the same name, but the lady Bella I'm looking for hasn't left, and I saw her here last night......"
Looking at Miss Manners's formulaic smile, Fan Bizhuang finally stopped talking, turned around, and sighed leisurely.
He didn't understand why Bella left in such a hurry, anyway, they were old friends, there was no need to leave as soon as they met, right?
Hide?
As soon as he thought of this, Fan Bizhuang was even more inexplicable, from a chance encounter to the current goodbye, what Bella showed was not avoiding him?
This made Fan Bizhuang even more puzzled, why did Bella avoid him?
"Okay, Fan, don't think about it, maybe your friend has to leave because of something urgent. Didn't you say that Miss Bella was Conntares' sister? If you can't figure it out, just ask him, maybe Mr. Contelares knows something. ”
Kaka patted Fan Bizhuang on the shoulder as he was lost in thought, with a "warning" in his eyes.
Originally, he thought that Fan Bizhuang was really tired when he hurried back to the hotel, but he didn't expect to go to the service desk to consult a lady, which made him a little vigilant, his wife and Felisa are good sisters, and he and Fan Bizhuang are also close friends, he can't watch his friends "make mistakes" in some things.
"What do you want!"
Kaka's "anti-thief" eyes made Fan Bizhuang angry and funny, glared at the other party, but his face also smiled: "You're right, maybe Bella is in a hurry, forget it, I'll ask Mr. Contrares next time." ”
Fan Bizhuang shook his head, since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother to think about it anymore, said hello to Kaka, went straight back to his room, and went to rest.
……
Early the next morning, all the United players boarded the bus back to Manchester City.
Winning away from home in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-knockout tie is a very encouraging result, but time does not allow United to spend too much energy in euphoria, because this week is also a double week, and the Champions League campaign is over, and the United will immediately have to invest in the domestic league.
The clock is coming to the end of February, and with just one game left in the month, the Reds are away to Wigan Athletic.
Wigan Athletic currently sit in the bottom half of the league table, a position that is also in line with their strength, relegation seems to be worry-free, and they have no ability to go any further.
Such a wantless team is clearly not an opponent that Manchester United should focus on.
The results of the competition also prove this.
Three days later, Manchester United played 90 minutes of fierce battle against fellow Manchester City side Wigan Athletic at Stadium D, and although it was a back-and-forth battle, Ferguson used rotation in order to give the players more opportunities to rest and adjust, but the final victory was still in the hands of Manchester United.
The result was 4-0, with the home team up front and the visitors behind, with Owen scoring a brace from the start, Nani netting a goal from distance in the second half, and substitute Van Bizhuang slotting in the late minute to score a late penalty.
Manchester United won by four goals comfortably to continue to lead the league table.
However, after this game, the new March will be a difficult time for Manchester United.
