Chapter 8: The Final Encounter

July 2002 was definitely a special day to remember for the whole of Brazil, the South Korea-Japan World Cup final, Brazil vs Germany, Ronaldo scored two goals in the second half. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 INFO's German goalkeeper Kahn, who had always been consistent before, was scored twice by alien Ronaldo in the final. Brazil became the first team in history to win the World Cup five times.

On the weekend of Brazil's victory, the whole country rejoiced, and the Brazilian players participating in the World Cup were printed into various flags, armbands, and even sprayed all the bodies of private cars, and huge wall advertisements.

After the championship team returned home, the Hercules Cup exhibition was held on the most famous street in Rio de Janeiro, the team carried the players slowly, the people enthusiastically walked around the team, the tall buildings on both sides of the street continued to sprinkle gold or yellow pieces of paper, the parade lasted from the afternoon to the early morning, although the other areas are not as lively as the capital, but also led by the government to hold a variety of celebrations, in the next month, the Hercules Cup will travel to various regions of Brazil, and finally return to Rio de Janeiro, Several São Paulo players also secretly went to Rio de Janeiro to participate in the parade, and at this time, the coach or the club officials really turned a blind eye. Yin Sen felt this atmosphere, this feeling he had never experienced, even if the Chinese team got the World Cup ticket, the momentum was not so vast, the ticket was naturally incomparable with the championship trophy, but the wholehearted fanaticism of the people of the whole country, Yin Sen clearly felt everyone's attention and support for football, this kind of care is the most lacking in China, Yin Sen couldn't help but envy, Yin Sen also imagined the parade team, one of the positions belonged to him.

It's rare, Yin Sen wanted to go out for a walk on this weekend night, because he was in such an atmosphere, Yin Sen felt much more comfortable than the kind of vision he usually suffered, Yin Sen put on a training jacket, took the door and walked out, they lived on the 7th floor of the "nine-story building", it may be that this training Baoli Group and the Chinese Football Association have done enough work, Yin Sen Their living environment is still good, everyone has a single room, all equipment is complete, water heater, refrigerator, air conditioner, and even a treadmill by the balcony, However, Yin Sen has never opened it since he came, and Yin Sen can't understand the crooked text on it, and Yin Sen has never attached great importance to things that exercise physical fitness. Yin Sen has never enjoyed this kind of treatment before, from elementary school to high school, all those who live on campus have always been collective dormitories, and there is only one bathroom on the entire floor, after being selected into the Baoli team, he also lived in a 2-person room, although there was a bathroom in the room at that time, but there was no other configuration, in fact, I am ashamed to say that Yin Sen has never blown an air conditioner in his life.

Yin Sen went downstairs, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening, it seemed that there was a wind blowing in from the door, Yin Sen felt a little cool, he put on the hat of his training uniform, and then tightened his body, and was about to walk out, but a voice came from behind him.

“hi”。

At the beginning, Yin Sen hadn't reacted yet, because there were actually a lot of people living in this building, and it was common to meet each other and say hello, but Yin Sen was a little strange, and the sound of greeting each other didn't seem to be so concise, always dragging a long tail note, "Ahhh~" It seemed like this, Yin Sen didn't think much about it, and walked by himself.

"hei, stop", then another voice came, this time Yin Sen heard it very clearly, and this time he understood, it was actually English, he finally reacted a little, stopped, turned around, wanted to see which one this was playing, there was a person standing at the elevator entrance, with a sunny smile on his white face, Yin Sen recognized this person, "That white-faced scholar, is he calling me",

"Your name..." I just wanted to say that you called me three words, but suddenly found that the language of the two did not seem to be on the same frequency, Yin Sen pointed his finger at himself, not knowing if the other party could understand this expression. This "white-faced scholar" walked over slowly, and stopped when he came to the front, Yin Sen's height of more than 1.7 meters is quite tall in the Baoli team, but the other party is half a head taller than him, Yin Sen felt a little pressure, and took half a step back sideways, the other party seemed to find Yin Sen's movements, and smiled lightly, Yin Sen is a sensitive person, he felt the friendliness in this laughter, and looked at the little white face in front of him suspiciously, at this time the other party stretched out his right hand, and said while holding Yin Sen's outstretched right hand:" canyouspeakenglish? (Do you speak English?) )

Yin Sen has received Chinese-style English teaching since he was a child, rote memorization plus constant questions, to say that communicating with foreigners has never been in Yin Sen's life, but Yin Sen is not a shy guy, this kind of scene Yin Sen naturally can not be timid, otherwise where is the face of the Chinese, well, Yin Sen is actually not so great.

"yes, onlyalittle" (a little)

"Metoo"

Listening to this, Yin Sen felt more and more funny, Yin Sen has always subconsciously thought that foreigners' native language should be English, even if not, all foreigners' English proficiency is very strong, this first foreigner to communicate face-to-face, but he spoke English as badly as he did, Yin Sen felt that his worldview was a little collapsed, and looked at this teenager who took the initiative to find his own accosting,

“mynameisRicardoIzecsonDosSantos

Leite,you? (My name is RicardoIzecsonDosSantosLeite, what about you)

Yin Sen only understood the beginning and end of this sentence, but for the key name part in the middle, it sounded very uncomfortable because the other party spoke a dialect version of English, he didn't remember it at all, and the boy seemed to know that his name was too strange for the other party to understand, so he added a sentence after speaking: "youcancallmeRicardo" (you can call me Ricardo)

Yin Sen understood now and smiled: "Hello, mynameisyinsen" (my name is Yin Sen)

"Ethan, OkniceToMeet You" (Yoon Sen, nice to meet you)

"nicetomeetyou" (me too)

Somehow, Yin Sen always felt that the other party called his name wrong, but it was not easy to complete this task to complete if he wanted foreigners to read Chinese well, so Yin Sen did not correct the other party's pronunciation.

“lsawyouplaysoccer,Ilikeyou,canweplaytogethernexttime“。 (I saw you playing, can we play together next time?) )

Slowly, Yin Sen also got used to the other party's pronunciation routines, and he was able to listen fluently to sentences composed of simple English. But thinking that the other party hadn't appeared since the last time he came to play a training game, how could he see himself playing, so he asked, "When?" (When)

”gotomyroomandtalk? (Why don't you go to my room?) )

“ok!” (Good!) )
