Chapter 281: Maracana Chance Encounter
The MaracanΓ£ Stadium, the mecca of Brazil, is a great stadium in China, and is described in middle school textbooks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"Maybe it's better to be here in the knockout stage," Li Guo thought, but unfortunately the stadium was arranged immediately, mainly to test the preparations for next year's World Cup.
As soon as he turned around, Li Guo could see Monte Cristo in the distance, where the statue of Jesus, known as the New Seven Wonders of the World, stands.
"Actually, the MaracanΓ£ Stadium is a miracle, but in the football circle,"
Li Guo remembers that in his previous life, he saw a black-and-white clip introducing the 1950 World Cup in World Football, when the Brazilian team lost to Uruguay at home and finally did not realize the dream of the World Cup at home.
Although the regret of winning the World Cup was made up for in Sweden eight years later, the regret of losing the title on home to the home side continues for 50 years to this day.
Walking on the streets of Rio, the advantage is that no one birds you, here, no one knows Li Guo, walking and walking, Li Guo saw a street performer performing freestyle football in the distance performing his graceful skills.
threw the ball high, and then clamped it by the neck, and the onlookers applauded, and Li Guo also gave applause.
But most people just watch and don't pay for it, which is also an embarrassing situation for street performers, but Li Guo lost 10 reais in his hat.
Just as Li Guo was about to turn around and leave, the other party shouted thank you, "Sir, can I know your name?" β
"There's no need."
The other party smiled, first reported to his home, and then said, "Sir, you are the first person to throw money into your hat today, and I would like to know your name." β
Li Guo suddenly thought of something, by the way, why did the other party keep speaking English, and after asking, he realized that he was not a native of Brazil.
"You're from Italy?"
The young man named Martin replied, "Yes, I came to see the game in Italy, and I will earn some money by the way," and the young man looked at the hat on the ground embarrassedly.
In fact, many backpackers abroad are like this, transportation depends on rides, accommodation depends on youth hostels, and being a street performer is a good way for them to earn extra money.
"Then you should know me." Li Guo thought, but Li Guo ignored one point, there will be face blindness between different ethnic groups, for example, we Chinese will think that Africans are the same, which is very normal.
"Then you shouldn't be in Rio, you should go to Recife, where the next match between Italy and China is, or you should go to El Salvador, where Brazil will play against Italy."
Martin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I don't have any money, I'll wait in Rio and wait to see the knockout match in Italy." β
Li Guo smiled and thought, "Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." β
Li Guo swept his eyes and saw the World Cup badge on Martin's clothes, the earliest of which was actually from the summer of 1990 in Italy.
Li Guo pointed to the badge, "Do you sell this?" β
Martin shook his head and said firmly, "You can sell me, but this badge can't be sold." β
Li Guo looked at the other party carefully, "You shouldn't be very old, you shouldn't be able to go to the stadium to watch the game during the 90 Italian World Cup." β
Martin smiled, "This is what my dad bought for me." β
"Oh."
But Martin then said: "He passed away three years ago. β
Li Guo was silent, and suddenly remembered a person, Brazil's No. 1 fan, Fernandez, the old man with two white beards and holding the "World Cup" in his hands.
The old man was not wealthy and suffered from cancer, but he did not miss every game of the Brazilian team, so much so that he was named the number one fan in Brazil.
Li Guo knew that Fernandez eventually died a year after the World Cup in Brazil, but at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, after the semi-finals, the old man gave the gold cup in his hand to a German fan, so the old man went, but the old man's gold cup will last forever.
Seeing that Li Guo was silent, Martin, who was optimistic by nature, pointed to the badge on his clothes, "So I took my dad to see the Italian team, and I will take him to the World Cup next year." β
Li Guo was very moved, this is the inheritance, "By the way, are you a fan of that club?" β
Martin still shook his head, "I'm in a small town, there are no professional teams, so I'm not a fan of anyone, Napoli is close to us, but I don't really like it, so the only thing I support is the Italian national team." β
Li Guo remembered Martin's set of freestyle football moves just now, which was very exciting, so he asked in wonder: "With your skills, why didn't you consider becoming a professional player before?" β
"First of all, thank you for complimenting me, but in Italy there are so many kids playing football that it's not easy to get ahead in football."
"And what is your job?"
"Cartoonist."
"Hehe, is it more stable than a football player?"
"Of course."
Li Guo sighed at the heritage of a football power, even if Martin is a bad player, but Rome was not built in a day, Li Guo knows.
Li Guo has worked hard to change the atmosphere of Chinese football, and "Green Whirlwind" has also been very successful, and I heard that there are more children playing football this year.
"Then do you know the Chinese team?"
"I know, Italy's third opponent in the group stage, but I haven't watched their games, I guess you are Chinese."
"Yes, the country where your ancestor Marco Polo came."
"Well, I just know that the head coach of the Chinese team seems to be a madman."
Li Guo's face was swollen and red, "Why?" β
"I don't know, I was in the youth hostel yesterday and the Brazilians were scolding him, saying he was crazy or something."
Li Guo sweated on his forehead, it seems that after South Korea, Li Guo still popularized eating, sleeping, and scolding Li Guo in another country.
Li Guo smiled, "I don't think so, I think Li Guo is very great, at least he led the Chinese team to win the Olympic men's football championship." β
"Really? Has the Chinese team won the Olympic championship? β
Li Guo sweated again on his forehead, thinking: "How unbearable is the influence of the Olympic men's football team." β
At this moment, someone in the distance shouted to Martin, "I'm sorry, Chinese friend, I have to go, my Brazilian friend called me." β
"It's okay," Li Guo took out another 100 reais and put it in Martin's hat, and said with a smile, "For the dream." β
When Martin was in Europe, he often performed on the streets, sometimes playing football, sometimes painting, but no one was as generous as Li Guo.
Martin just thought that Li Guo might also like Italian football, so he didn't say much, just said the same, "For the dream." β
