Chapter Eighty-Four: What a Pity

"Kaka is just one goal away from perfecting!"

No one expected Carlo Ancelotti to start Kaka in the second round of the league. And no one thought that Kaka would contribute an indirect assist to the team in his first appearance in Serie A. In the 76th minute, Kaka won the ball at the back, made a feint to pass the ball, and quickly dribbled the ball between the two Ancona midfielders, just when people thought he would continue to move forward, Kaka suddenly poked forward with his right foot, the ball passed between the two Ancona defenders, and Marcodemoraescafu cut in from the right side and assisted Andrishevchenko, Shevchenko scored from nine meters out to seal the win for Milan.

In fact, Kaka has a chance to score. But too much allowed him to pass Shevchenko's pass back, and the ball was blocked by the opponent Milanes in the middle, and Sheva waved his hand helplessly, not because he didn't receive the ball, but because Kaka was too modest. Even head coach Carlo Ancelotti lamented it.

Kaka then flew back to Brazil to represent the Brazilian national team in the South American qualifiers for the World Cup in Germany.

In the away match against Colombia, Brazil were still tied 1-1 until the 59th minute, and it was clear that such a result did not satisfy coach Andreas Pereira. So in the 59th minute, Pereira replaced two youngsters, Renato and Kaka in the back.

At this time, being substituted on the field can be described as a critical order, and even the former Brazilian star Falcao (), who commented on the game, thought it was not the right time. Worried about whether Kaka and Renato will be able to live up to their mission. Falcao believes that sending newcomers on the field in such unfavorable circumstances is actually very detrimental to the growth of newcomers. Because they have to bear a lot of pressure, it is difficult to guarantee performance, and if they lose, they are likely to carry a heavy psychological baggage.

After equalizing in the 38th minute of the first half, the Colombian fans who had "defected" began to cheer for the home team again, and the Colombian team also seemed to wake up and control the situation on the field at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half.

Falcao's analysis makes sense, but it doesn't hold true in Kaka. In the 60th minute, Ronaldo took the ball outside the penalty area and moved the ball to the middle when the opposing defender pressed him. It's too late, it's too late, Kaka quickly plugs in, and a powerful shot from outside the penalty area! Ivancordoba, who plays for Inter Milan, didn't have time to react before the ball flew into the net, leaving the stadium in dead silence.

And it was only the first touch of the ball since substitute Kaka came on. But Kaka thinks the ball is luck. "It's the first time in my career that I scored with my first touch. It was a great goal not only for me in the Brazilian national team, but also for me at AC Milan. What happened to me was incredible! He told reporters after the game.

Kaka, who returns from the national team, will face a different kind of game, facing Bologna in the third round of the league on September 14, where Yang Pan is there.

※※※

"Kaka, will you start?" Yang Pan asked Kaka on the phone.

"No, it won't. Just came back from Colombia and the coach told me to rest. Kaka replied.

"Hey, that's good, that's good."

"Good what? Can Bologna still win us? ”

"No, I mean if you don't get it, I'm balanced in my heart, haha!" Yang Pan said with a smile.

“…… But I made the squad, hehe! ”

"You're angry with me, aren't you?"

"You're not poor, seriously, you really weren't on the list?"

"Can it still be fake?"

"Why?"

"Uh-huh, that's a good question. I also wonder why, why is Nervo in such good form? "In fact, Yang Pan knows very well that Nervo is in surprisingly good shape now, two rounds of league games, one goal, two assists, which can be said to be very good. In this situation, manager Mazzoni will definitely choose an experienced veteran, after all, he has played very well, and there is no reason for him to sit on the bench. Moreover, the league has only just started, and there are no fitness problems.

"Maybe my chances will only be in the second half of the season." Yang Pan muttered, he seemed to have forgotten that Kaka was still listening on the other end of the phone.

"Ah, don't be discouraged Yang Pan! There's always a way...... Well, so be it. If I play the day after tomorrow, help you tackle him off the field and let him recuperate for three months. Well, do you think three months is enough? ”

"Hah! Kaka, you're kidding, right? ”

"Hehe, of course it's a joke! Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't have sportsmanship? ”

※※※

Since the outbreak of Kaka, the Chinese media has been eager to hype the "Chinese Boys Derby" in Serie A. It's a pity that Mazzoni really doesn't give them face, and in the list of players who announced the game against AC Milan, there is no name of Yang Pan at all.

Before the game, Yang Pan was still thinking about whether to go to the stadium to watch the game, but when he remembered that he invited Kaka to dinner after the game, he decided to go to the Dall'ara stadium even if more Chinese reporters asked him "what do you think about Kaka's performance".

Ticket entry to the players' box. Players from both sides have warmed up on the pitch and Kaka is among them. In just one game, he seems to have conquered the hearts of AC Milan fans. Fans who came with the team cheered him on with flags with Kaka's face on them.

Zhang Jun in the Netherlands and Kaka in Milan both showed an uplifting side. As for himself, after a successful transfer to Serie A, it seems that he is gradually being forgotten. There are fewer journalists in Bologna than in previous periods, while there are more in Volendam and Milan day by day.

This is the case with professional football, Yang Pan laughs so self-deprecatingly. Announcements outside the stadium have already begun to introduce fans to the starting line-ups for both sides. When I read about the Bologna team, the cheers rang out again and again, and when it was AC Milan's turn, the boos never stopped, after all, it was Bologna's home stadium. Kaka really didn't appear in the starting list, and Yang Pan had a hunch that Bologna would not be able to win if Kaka would play.

At the end of the game, Yang Pan thought he should buy a lottery ticket. Kaka came on in the sixtieth minute of the second half.

As soon as the game began, Kaka warmed up on the side, glancing at the dugout from time to time, hoping to get Carlo Ancelotti's call. Yang Pan really did not appear on the field or on the bench. He had some regrets, he was expecting a confrontation, but he didn't have a chance to fight with Yang Pan in the three years of high school, and now in Italy, it seems that it will be postponed.

When Kaka came on, the score was tied at 1-1, and Sheva gave AC Milan the lead in the first ten minutes. There was a dead silence at the Dallara Stadium, but twenty-two minutes later, Yang Pan's rival Carlo Nervo equalised with a powerful shot!

He is really in good shape, Yang Pan has to admit it. But he didn't know that his competitors were forced out of such a good state. Before the season, many people thought that Mazzoni brought in Yang Pan to replace the aging Nervo, but at the moment, it is not so simple. The competition with the good surname is probably what the old man thinks, and if Nervo doesn't work hard, Yang Pan will replace him. If Yang Pan doesn't work hard, he has no hope of playing football.

Bologna may have a real chance of qualifying for the UEFA Cup this year. Mazzoni in the dugout thought to himself.

He was startled by a chorus of boos from the stands.

Kaka tackled Nervo at the back, and a vicious tackle brought Nervo to the ground, and the referee quickly whistled for a foul on Kaka.

Yang Pan stood up, watching Kaka silently run back to defend, he said in his heart: You kid won't be real, Kaka?

It wasn't long before Kaka fouled Nervo again. The home fans unceremoniously booed him.

For the third time, this time Kaka didn't foul and his tackle was clean. Kaka, who got up, quickly dribbled forward along the wing, and then he and Shevchenko made a one-two collision with the wall, shook off the Bologna defense, and continued to dribble!

That kid's speed has increased again, and it's really different in Brazil. Yang Pan was still praising Kaka, who sent the ball into the box with a cross. Inzaghi, who had always been behind Shevchenko, rushed up, Shevchenko in front of him cleverly missed, Inzaghi jumped high and made a beautiful header!

Gianlucapaglica didn't have time to react and watched the ball fly into the goal behind him. There were still 10 minutes left until the end of the game......

The ball is in! AC Milan put the score in the lead!

Kaka's assist!

The League Cup? Let's see how it goes...... Looking at the Milanese celebrating the goal, Mazzoni thought to himself.

※※※

In the end, Bologna did their best to not change the scoreline, and they had to accept the result of losing at home.

After the game, Kaka asked coach Carlo Ancelotti to take a leave of absence, and instead of returning to Milan with the team, he went to meet old friends. Ancelotti trusted Kaka's character, and he agreed, just saying as usual: "Have fun, but pay attention to rest." ”

Yang Pan was already waiting for Kaka outside the stadium, and when he saw Kaka waving at him at the exit, he hurried up to meet him.

"I've taken a leave of absence so I don't have to go back to Milan tonight. I won't have to train tomorrow, hoho! It's time to have fun tonight. "Kaka finally showed his true colors, and even his expression was different, good boy? Sunshine Boy? It has nothing to do with him now.

"Tsk, aren't you afraid of being in the newspaper tomorrow?" Yang Pan gave him a roll of the eyes.

"Don't worry, hoho! I'm hungry, shall we go eat? Kaka stuck out his tongue and touched his stomach and said to Yang Pan.

"Ah, are you hungry? But I don't know how to cook...... Well, why don't we fly to Warrendam and let Zhang Jun do it? ”

“…… Don't you know that there is a place in the world called a restaurant, and there is also a profession called a chef? Take me to dinner, you're in for a treat! Kaka patted Yang Pan's head.

"It's unreasonable, if you win, we want me to invite you to dinner......"

"You're the host, hehe! You're more familiar with Bologna than I am, right? ”

Yang Pan suddenly remembered that restaurant with grammatical errors, he hadn't been to it for a long time, so he should go to see it occasionally, after all, it was the place he was most familiar with, and he went there twice.

"Okay, come with me." Yang Pan turned around and left.

"Where?"

"Eat."

"Walking?"

"No, in a taxi."

"Do you want to take a taxi to an idol star?"

"Why don't we take the subway? Or, as you say, walking? ”

“…… Ah, wait! ”

"What for?" Yang Pan turned his head.

"Well, as you can see, disguise ......" Kaka put on his sunglasses and pressed the brim of his baseball cap down even further, "Okay, let's go!" ”

"It's hard to be a celebrity...... Yang Pan sighed.

※※※

“chinachina?” Just like when Yang Pan first saw this name, Kaka looked up at the neon sign and was stunned for a long time, and then said to Yang Pan: "The grammar is wrong, this store name." ”

"It's because the author's English is so bad." Yang Pan replied to Kaka as he stretched out his hand to push the door.

"Welcome!" A brown-haired girl was standing at the door and bowing to the guests who came in, but when she looked up and saw Yang Pan's face, she was slightly stunned, and then immediately bowed: "Thank you for your patronage, come back next time!" ”

Yang Pan rolled his eyes, pulled Kaka and went straight to find an empty seat in the store and sat down: "Waiter." ”

The girl immediately ran from the door of the store again and placed the menu in front of the two of them. "Two gentlemen, our special microwave oven Yangzhou fried rice, are you interested in trying it?" The girl was smiling.

"Microwave Yangzhou fried rice?" Kaka froze, suspecting that she was having auditory hallucinations. And Yang Pan was directly ready to call the store manager: "The store ......"

"What do you two gentlemen want?" The bearded store manager appeared and grabbed the girl aside.

"Hmm......" Yang Pan picked up the menu and prepared to order.

"Kaka?" The voice startled the two of them, and the bearded store manager was smiling at Kaka.

Kaka reluctantly took off his hat and sunglasses.

"Ha, it's really hard to be a celebrity......" Yang Pan touched Kaka with a helpless face.

※※※

While the food was being served, the bearded man handed Kaka a signature pad: "Please sign, ho-ho!" ”

Kaka, who was still joking with Yang Pan just now, immediately changed his expression, and after signing the name for the store manager, he smiled and handed back the pen and paper.

"Your expression is really fast...... Yes! Kaka stepped on Yang Pan underneath, but still had a smile on his face.

"Humph!" Yang Pan twisted his face to the side, only to see a signature pad also handed to him. "This ...... It's ......"

"Please sign it too, ho-ho!" The bearded man laughed.

"But I'm not a star!"

"It will definitely be in the future!" The bearded man looked at Yang Pan with a determined expression and said.

Yang Pan looked at the beard, then picked up the pen and bowed his head to sign his Chinese name.

"Well, can you write that sentence at the end?" chinachina restaurant is delicious and inexpensive'! Ho ho! ”

“……”

※※※

"Earned! Earned! The bearded man held two signature pads and muttered with a grin.

"What did you earn, Daddy?" Daughter Yilan, the same girl just now, looked at the bearded man suspiciously.

"Autographs from two football stars!" The bearded man raised the things in his hand, "I'm going to frame it and hang it on the wall for propaganda!" I didn't expect Kaka to appear here......" The bearded man glanced at the two people eating in the corner. "This is the third time Yang Pan has come to our store, could it be ......"

"ChinaChina Restaurant is delicious and cheap!" Yilan pointed to the signature pad in her hand, but her father stared at her, and she felt furious. "Daddy?"

"Well, I see!"

"What do you understand?"

"Yang Pan likes you!"

"Bang!"

The guests turned around one after another, only to see Elan hurriedly leaning over to pick up the tray that had fallen on the ground.

"Why do you say that, Dad?"

"If not, why did he come to our shop for the third time? You know, his first impression of this place was not very good. The bearded man looked at Yilan and said, as if reminding her of the Yangzhou fried rice. Therefore, for the survival of this small shop, Elan has no choice but to sacrifice you. "Dad has a superhuman look of justice.

"Sacrifice me?" Elan had a bad premonition.

"Let's fall in love with Yang Pan!"

"Bang!"

The guests turned around again, and saw Elan hurriedly leaning over to pick up the tray that had fallen on the floor.

"I protest!" Yilan lowered her voice and said to her father, "Why do you want me to do such an inexplicable thing?" ”

"I can't help it, Ilan. We've moved here from France since your mom died. It's all up to your dad's small restaurant to support all our expenses. Business is not doing well now, don't you see that there are fewer and fewer customers coming to the store recently? ”

"What does this have to do with Yang Pan?"

"Absolutely! He's a player, he's good friends with Kaka! This is the star effect, if I say that Kaka and Yang Pan often come here to eat, those star chasers still don't crowd me here? Hehe, when the time comes, your dad and I will be able to count the money at home! ”

"Humph!" Elan took off her apron and placed it on the bar, "Since you have planned so well, then you go and pat him!" Then she turned and walked upstairs.

Watching his daughter's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, Dad sighed softly, "What a pity! ”

※※※

"Hmm, Yang Pan." Kaka wrapped the beef in his mouth and said to Yang Pan.

"What's the matter?"

"I think it's strange, you and that girl just now seem to be familiar with each other!" Kaka points to the bar with his chopsticks.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I first came to eat, that idiot actually used the microwave to heat Yangzhou fried rice for me." Yang Pan took a sip of juice.

"Oh, no wonder she just said something special microwave Yangzhou fried rice......"

"A fool, I don't have much to say." Yang Pan said with a frown.

"Hehe, but ...... Didn't you notice that she was beautiful? Kaka laughed.

Yang Pan was stunned, Kaka didn't say that he had forgotten, and when he saw Elan for the first time, he thought he had seen the eighteen-year-old version of Sophie Marceau. She has a beautiful face, smooth brown hair, big blue eyes, a sharp nose, and that romantic smile, as well as a special microwave Yangzhou fried rice...... Yang Pan hurriedly shook his head, "It's just beautiful......"

"Hey, hey!" Kaka looked at Yang Pan and smiled vigorously.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing. Eat, eat......" Kaka buried himself in the dishes.

"Humph!" Yang Pan put down his chopsticks and looked at the lively street outside the window. It's past ten o'clock in the evening, and it's time for the Italians to be active.

If you think about it, you can't blame her for the first time. The hotel is indeed closed, and she is too embarrassed to let herself go, right? That's why I had to do it. If you have to blame anyone, blame the wind arranged by the author.

But the second time she came back with the idea of apologizing, she had such an attitude, which was really ...... Too, well, what's wrong? Well, she's just pretty.

"Yang Pan, if you think about spring again, I'm not welcome to this steak!"

"That steak is my ...... Well? What did you just say? ”

"Haha!"

※※※

Elan sat on her bed, hugging a teddy bear. Because she lives in the university, she rarely comes back to live in this bedroom. Today is Sunday, so I came back to see my dad and help by the way, but I didn't expect to run into him again.

I'm so out of luck! Yi Lan sighed, there would be such a father, what do you think of her daughter's love? A money-making tool?

You must know that there are many boys chasing you in school! I didn't think about it myself. Elan felt a little proud when she thought about it. Even if you are really in love, you will never like it, and you will like it...... His.

I seem to be hesitant.

Elan jumped out of bed and turned on the stereo.

“hélène,jem’appellehélène,jesuisunefille, melesautres,hélène。

j’aimesjoiesmespeines,ellesfontmavie, melavotre,jevoudraistrouverl’amour,simplementtrouverl’amour……”

(I'm called Ilan, a very ordinary girl, Ilan.)

I also have joys and sorrows, I have joys and sorrows in life, I just want to find simple love, love that belongs to me......

("jem'appellehélène" Chinese name: my name is Yilan, singer: hélène rollès)

This is one of Elan's favorite songs, and it is always played in the stereo and not taken out, as if it is really singing itself. The deep voice, the clear French articulation, and the beautiful melody are permeated with French romance everywhere. Singer Hélène is a star who often appears in magazines and television, but she thinks that she is just an ordinary girl named Hélène, her life is also happy and sad, she just wants to find her love, find her own simple love, make her forget the loneliness and pain behind the scenery. sings about a girl's desire for a peaceful and happy life. Although the name is the same, this hélène is not the star hélène, but Elan feels that this song really feels like singing herself, especially today......

There was a knock on the door, "Ilan, I'm in." "It's Daddy's voice.

"Hmm." Elan turned off the stereo. "They're gone?"

"yes, hoho! I even took a picture with them when we left! Dad was smiling.

"Then you can enlarge it and frame it, and then hang it on the wall for publicity!"

"That's for sure, ho-ho!"

"Humph!"

The father looked at his daughter: "Still angry?" ”

Elan turned her back to her father and answered.

"Ho-ho! How old is Elan already? Twenty-one, other girls have already brought their boyfriends home to meet their parents......"

"Daddy, I'm not the kind of girl who just does!"

"Well, I know. You're the same as your dead mother, she's loved one person in her life, and that's your dad! Dad said with some pride. Maybe when you really fall in love with someone, that's when you're going to leave me...... It's better to be cautious and find a man who is worth staying with for the rest of your life! The father touched his daughter's head, then turned and walked out.

"But wouldn't it be better to be able to stay together for a lifetime and bring popularity to the hotel?" As the door was closed, Elan heard her father suddenly say this.

“……”

※※※

"Well, Yang Pan. Actually, you should also find one, readers have been asking for it for a long time. I think the girl in the hotel is good, and the most important thing is that you have a good start, according to the standards of third-rate romance novels, if it continues to develop like this, there will definitely be lovers who will eventually become married. ”

"You've drunk too much, Kaka?"

"Drinking too much? Tonight we only had juice and tea, no alcoholic drinks......"

"Well, it must have been too much to drink." Yang Pan walked a few steps briskly.

Looking at Yang Pan's figure walking in front, Kaka smiled, "It's a pity......"
