Chapter 388: Children and Old Friends
Belo Horizonte, the fourth largest city in Brazil, is located in the northeast of São Paulo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info will host the much-anticipated quarterfinals - the match between Brazil and China.
The day before the game, the Chinese team had to warm up at the Mineiro Stadium, which should have been the most ordinary activity, which was to try the softness and hardness of the turf, and then run to decide what kind of shoes to wear tomorrow.
But today's stepping on the field was different, and even then, on the way from the Chinese team's stadium to the Mineiro Stadium, the security was the same as it was during tomorrow's game.
On the way to the bus, Li Guo saw a lot of protesters, and I don't know if they were protesting against the Chinese team or the World Cup in Brazil. Because even though the Brazilian team played well in the group stage, there were still many Brazilians protesting against the World Cup being held in Brazil, which seriously affected their lives.
When I arrived at the stadium, the bus drove directly into the underground garage in the stadium, which is still different from tomorrow, tomorrow the Chinese team players will get off the bus at the entrance of the stadium, and there is a ceremony of appearance.
Stepping on the turf, the players are running around and it feels very good, the grass on the pitch is of good quality, it's like a carpet, the grass is cut very short, it's to speed up the ball, and as a Brazilian team with a lot of technical flow, they like that rhythm.
Zhou Dun suddenly turned around when he was running, and found that a little girl was holding a mobile phone to shoot herself, maybe it was too small, the mobile phone suddenly fell off and fell on the lawn, the little girl staggered, bent down to pick up the mobile phone, Zhou Dun hurriedly went over to pick it up and handed it to the little girl.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Dun knew that fans were not allowed here today, and the only explanation was which staff member's daughter she was.
"Little one, how did you get in?"
The little girl stretched out her little hand and pointed into the distance, "My father." ”
Zhou Dun turned his head and saw that it was Fred of the Brazilian team, who originally had two games today, of course, the Brazilian team was the host, so naturally they came first, and the Chinese team stepped on the field after they were over.
"Hey, little guy, I told you not to run around, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye, and you took my phone."
The little girl ran over, Fred picked him up, and the little girl said to Fred: "He's Zhou, it's the Barcelona guy, you said that you will beat him tomorrow, so I will help you shoot his training." ”
Fred scratched his head, childish words, how could he even tell the little secret, Zhou Dun was also happy, this little girl is so cute.
"Hello, Fred (Fred is a nickname, full name is long)."
"Hello, Zhou Dun, how do you feel, Brazil is good."
Zhou Dun gave a thumbs up, "Yes, the stadium is great, and the fans are even better, except when they scold and foul language." ”
Fred laughed: "What is this, we were eliminated last year, I was scolded on the Internet for a month, it was such a difficult month, I even wanted to quit the Brazilian team, concentrate on my family, it was Luis who kept me." ”
Zhou Dun walked over and touched the little girl's little face, "Little guy, do you want my jersey." ”
"No, you're Daddy's enemy."
"Haha, no," Fred explained.
Zhou Dun just thought it was funny, didn't explain anything, and left after saying a few polite words.
In the stands, Li Guo found a person, walked in and looked, it was indeed an old friend, to be precise, Li Guo knew him, but he couldn't know Li Guo, in his previous life, as a Bundesliga fan, he was the star that Li Guo first chased.
He is the former Bayern star - Elber, he is now retired, he still does football work in Brazil, and he also makes a guest appearance in the commentary of football matches, he will explain tomorrow's game of the Brazilian team, and today he is here to "warm up" in advance.
Elber wore a big headset and practiced intently: "Oscar passes the ball to Neymar, Neymar dribbles past a man and crosses, Fred, Fred, he appears in the most deserved position." ”
“goooooooooooooooooooal。”
“goooooooooooooooooooal。”
“goooooooooooooooooooal。”
"Fred."
“goooooooooooooooooooal。”
“goooooooooooooooooooal。”
“goooooooooooooooooooal。”
Li Guo stood behind Elber and watched fascinated, how forgetful this old boy was, in fact, Elber was born at the wrong time, he had first-class skills and helped Bayern win the Champions League, but unfortunately in the two World Cups in 1998 and 2002, the Brazilian team would rather bring the aging Bebeto than Elber.
So despite winning the Bundesliga, Elber has not represented Brazil in the World Cup, which is also his biggest regret.
Li Guo thought to himself that maybe Elber imagined himself on the pitch at this time, wearing a yellow Brazilian shirt, galloping, scoring goals, if he was 10 years younger, then Fred would not be competitive in front of him, but unfortunately assumptions are assumptions after all.
Elber was so forgetful with his headphones that he didn't know that there was someone standing behind him, and when he took off the headphones and turned around, he was startled to find a person standing behind him.
"Li Guo!"
"Hello."
Elber's face turned red, thinking that the picture he had just explained like crazy had been seen by Li Guo, and he was quite shy.
"Will you explain tomorrow?"
"Yes, that's my job now."
"It's a shame that you were born in the same era as Ronaldo, if you were now, you would have been Brazil's number one striker."
Elber smiled, "It's a pity that I'm in the same era as Brazil's greatest striker, I don't have anything to say, I can't compare to him." ”
"By the way, I was your fan when I was a kid."
Elber was stunned, he didn't know what Li Guo meant, and thought that his English was not good, in order to hide his embarrassment, he scratched his head, "That's my honor." ”
'Really, when you were at Bayern, you were the best at that time, and you had a strong forward line with Sergio in the Bundesliga.
Elber himself has forgotten these things, and it is rare for anyone to remember that Elber now has another identity, that is, Bayern Munich's scout in Brazil.
"That's also my best memory, Germany, Bayern, but unfortunately I went to France and you came to the Bundesliga, we didn't play each other."
This Li Guo doesn't remember it so clearly, this time it's Li Guo's turn to be embarrassed, "Do you have time to have a coffee together?" ”
"I'm sorry, I still have to prepare, I'm a newbie, I have to practice more."
Li Guo nodded in understanding, and Elber finally seemed to remember something, turned to Li Guo and said, "Do you know, this job was originally for Ronnie (Ronaldo), but I grabbed it." ”
After saying that, Elber looked proud, he couldn't play Ronaldo on the pitch that year, but in another arena, he won.
Li Guo didn't say anything, just smiled and gave a thumbs up. (To be continued.) )
