Chen Jianhao sat boredly in the edge seat, looking at the bustling pedestrians in a daze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The seats in the waiting room are placed back to back in every two rows, with a wide enough aisle in front of them. Chen Jianhao didn't care about who was sitting behind him - he wasn't even interested in getting to know his fellow travelers, and even though he had been in Portuguese language training for more than two months, he had hardly communicated with anyone, except Chen Jinwu.

But at this time, Chen Jinwu went to the toilet and didn't come back. And the person sitting behind him rubbed him with his shoulder or arm from time to time, making him very uncomfortable. Just when he finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and pushed hard at the man, and almost opened his mouth to curse - his eyes suddenly widened: "Pan...... Pan Guidance!? ”

"Yo? Did you find out? Xiao Pan leaned sideways on the back of the chair and mocked: "I've been teasing you from behind, and I'm really slow to react." ”

"Why are you here?"

"What is that?" Xiao Pan put his finger against the other party's forehead and said, "If it weren't for me, would you be able to come?" ”

Chen Jianhao looked at him in surprise and said, "I heard the team leader say that the Football Association sends 8 full-time coaches, are you one of them?" ”

"Nonsense, otherwise how could I be sitting here?"

"But...... You're just an amateur league coach, and you're still ......" Chen Jianhao was just halfway through his words, feeling a little embarrassed, and stopped.

Xiao Pan followed his words and said, "It's just a teaching assistant, right?" ”

"Uh...... Well. Chen Jianhao was noncommittal.

Little Panhaha laughed and said, "Stinky boy, dare you hurt me?" You're not just playing in an amateur league. ”

"That's the way it is, it's just ......"

"Lao Tzu has money, and he came in by connections, okay?"

"Well, I didn't mean that."

"Alright, alright." After teasing the little brother, Xiao Pan finally said seriously: "Not everyone is willing to go abroad, how many candidates do you think the Football Association has in its hands?" Those who teach in the Chinese Super League club, with jobs in hand, can't just say go, right? Some are married, and they have to think about their families. And language is also an issue. ”

Chen Jianhao nodded and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I've been in England for more than ten years, and you don't just know it. I speak Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. ”

Chen Jianhao sighed, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Pan said proudly: "It's their blessing that the Football Association can meet someone like me." I know both football and foreign languages, who do you not look for me? ”

"I'm starting to brag again, I won't eat you."

As Chen Jianhao was talking, he saw someone push open the glass door of the waiting room. It's Chen Jinwu who is back.

Chen Jinwu saw Xiao Pan at a glance, so he beckoned, "Teacher Pan, when did you arrive?" ”

Chen Jianhao looked at them suspiciously and asked, "You two know each other?" ”

"Hey! Just ten minutes into it. Xiao Pan also beckoned to Chen Jinwu, and then turned his head to explain to Chen Jianhao: "Didn't we meet in the finals, and in the language class a while ago, he asked me to be a tutor." ”

"You're so biased." Chen Jianhao said with some dissatisfaction: "I asked you to help, but you said you didn't have time, so you ran away." ”

"You don't have any foundation at all, just go to the training class. I've already learned Portuguese, so I can help him improve it. After speaking, Xiao Pan leaned his face to him again and said softly: "And his father is quite rich." ”

"What are you whispering?" Chen Jinwu walked up to Chen Jianhao and sat down, and said with a smile: "Brother Jianhao, this is the first time to go abroad, right?" When you get there, I'll show you around first. ”

After nearly five hours in the departure lounge, most of the people were exhausted and slept crookedly in their seats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the boarding notice for this flight. For those of you on Star Alliance member airline TAP Portugal flight TPA7655, your flight will arrive soon, so please queue up at Gate 2 in advance, thank you. ”

A sudden announcement swept away the originally silent atmosphere.

Chen Jianhao was the first to stand up, breaking his wrists and moving his muscles. Then he took his schoolbag and said loudly, "Go!" ”

It's been a long wait. Not only Chen Jianhao, everyone was eager to rush to the plane immediately. is only one step away from the dream, and the anxious mood suddenly turns into a stream of blood and swells into everyone's hearts.

The accompanying management team and coaches led the young football players to board the airport bus and move towards a Boeing 707 jetliner on Runway 80 of the airport. Most of them were flying for the first time, and they squeezed as far as they could into the window, blinking and looking around, experiencing the last routine before boarding. About a quarter of an hour later, they stopped at the intersection between the plane and the runway, waiting for the crew's arrangement.

The airport is vast, with a plane taking off or landing every few minutes. With a loud roar, the lads also let out exclamations from time to time. It was already past 6 p.m., the sky was gradually graying, and through the limited light, you could see the navigation lights flickering by as the planes took off on each runway.

It wasn't until they saw the staff driving the boarding ladder and connecting it to the plane door that the boys finally couldn't hold their breath and rushed up.

The stewardess took a folder and walked down the stairs. When she approached, a voice suddenly popped up out of nowhere: "Cut—I thought the stewardess was so pretty!" ”

Then another voice chimed in: "yes, it's a little thicker." ”

"Shut up!" A middle-aged man about 40 years old said sharply. He had a standard big back, and the oil was so shiny that he knew that the gel must have been sprayed a lot. He walked up to the flight attendant and said with a smile: "I'm sorry miss, I'm the leader of this group, when can I board the plane?" ”

The flight attendant didn't seem to hear what was just being said, smiled professionally, and said, "Hello sir, you can board the plane soon." We were informed that the flight was hosting a special group of football players. So, if you need anything, please feel free to ask, and we will fully cooperate. ”

The middle-aged man was a little flattered after hearing this, and nodded his head in thanks.

"Look at him like that, it's exactly the same as when I met the leader!" There was another burst of laughter from the crowd.

The middle-aged man glared back, although he didn't hear what people said, it was certainly not a good thing. So he pulled his throat and said, "Wait a minute, catch which rabbit cub loves to chew the root of the tongue the most, and I will put him in Group C!" ”

The boys were quiet.

After taking his seat freely, Chen Jianhao sat by the window and quietly pressed his mobile phone. Chen Jinwu put away his luggage and leaned to the side to look at him: "What are you doing?" ”

Chen Jianhao hid his phone behind him in a panic, stared at the other party and said, "Hey! Peeking at someone's phone doesn't look like a gentleman's doing. ”

Chen Jinwu sat down, fastening his seat belt, and said disapprerovingly: "Don't react so much, I'm just curious who are you sending messages to at this time?" Girlfriend? ”

"Nope." Chen Jianhao leaned over and continued to press his mobile phone, for fear of being seen by the other party, "Take a few photos and post them in the circle of friends, and say goodbye to your teammates by the way." ”

"Circle of friends? I didn't think you were still playing this......" Chen Jinwu forced a smile.

"Get out of here!" Chen Jianhao waved mercilessly.

"No, let me see." Chen Jinwu pretended to stick his head to the other party.

Chen Jianhao had no choice but to press the phone under his buttocks, and sighed helplessly: "...... Why can't I do anything to you? ”

****

On the night after the amateur league finals, Chen Jianhao had dinner with all his teammates and set up a WeChat group at the same time. It's ridiculous to say that although everyone has been together for two years, Chen Jianhao has never added anyone's WeChat. Although Chen Jianhao originally intended to use this group as a commemorative medium, after the unanimous instigation of everyone, the captain Yang Xuxin finally changed the name of the group to "Chen Jianhao Internal Affairs Institute".

The former teammates suddenly became the first batch of internal fans of Chen Jianhao's road to stay abroad.

"You must inform us as soon as you make every important trip in the future." Yang Xuxin asked.

Therefore, Chen Jianhao is fulfilling his obligations at this time.

"On February 16, 2010, at 18:45, Chen Jianhao, the future China's No. 1 striker, boarded the plane and prepared to go to Portugal, the first stop of his conquest of Europe." Chen Jianhao typed this word on WeChat, grinned, and clicked send.

"Haha, this is Haozai's style!" Yang Xuxin was the first to reply. Others then began to speak enthusiastically.

"Haozai, remember to send me a few more signed photos, if you become famous in the future...... Haha you get the idea! [snickering]"

"If someone asks you who your best partner is, you have to say Cao Yangzhou. [Sunglasses] I'm the man who scored 94 goals with you! A single season! ”

"Hahahaha, Hao Zi scored 87 goals alone."

"Hey! Do you know the sense of humor? ”

"Okay, everyone, stop talking nonsense. [smiles] Now I ask everyone in the name of the captain to write a word of blessing. Don't worry, I won't let you write it in vain, in the future, Haozi will have an autobiography, and I will let him put these words in. ”

"Then hurry up, the network will be disconnected when you get off the plane."

……

Chen Jianhao looked at his phone intently, and felt the blessing on the other end of the screen with his heart, and sighed to himself.

Once upon a time, he was on the same page with these people, but he didn't expect that one game would be enough to change their relationship. He started chatting with his teammates every now and then, football, work, life, and women. It was from this time that he noticed that even the most inconspicuous person could have big dreams.

Chen Jianhao looked out the window, pondered for a long time, and then lowered his head and deleted all the long list of farewell words he had typed before. A thousand words, in the end, only one sentence -

Goodbye, my brothers!
