After about half an hour, Ayovi arrived as promised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'll ask for coffee, you're guests from afar."
"No need, I'll please, don't fight with me," Li Zibing said domineeringly.
Liu Jianhong smiled, "She is my boss, I advise you to listen to her." ”
Ayovi also smiled, "Okay then. ”
Li Zibing ordered Ayovi a cup of coffee, and then the conversation between the two sides slowly began, "By the way, how did you think of doing such a dangerous challenge." ”
"Hehe, nothing, I thought of it when I was working."
"Work?"
Seeing the puzzled looks of the two, Ayovi said: "Actually, my job is to be a tower crane driver. In this way, the first doubt is solved, but then more questions follow.
"Your skills are so good, why do you want to do tower crane football, I think you can be a professional player."
'Yes, it was supposed to be like this, but because of a major injury, my football path ended.
Ayovi told the story, Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong's doubts have been answered, it turned out that he was Chilean, he was spotted by British scouts when he was 8 years old, and then was taken to England for training, but at the age of 15, he suffered a serious injury, and after recovering from the injury, he was left with a problem.
As long as he exercised a lot, his knees would become inflamed, a problem that plagued Ayovi for 3 years, and finally at the age of 18, Ayovi gave up football.
But he is also a man who wants to save face, in the eyes of his Chilean family, he is the one who wants to become a star, but the reality is so cruel, and finally he decides to leave Chile and start over in a place where no one knows him.
Ayowei finished telling his story with a smile, but Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong felt very uncomfortable after listening to it.
If it weren't for that injury, maybe the person in front of him would have become a star like Vidal and Sanchez, but he can only be a tower crane driver now.
Ayovi patted the table, "Hey, don't be so sad, I don't want to be treated like a pathetic worm." ”
Li Zibing smiled, "No, your experience is too rich, we need to digest and understand." ”
"Hahaha," Ayovi laughed happily, "by the way, what is the purpose of your visit?" ”
Li Zibing briefly explained the situation, and Ayovi said: "Then I suggest that you have a place you must go to, Ecuador's home stadium, Atahualpa Stadium." ”
Liu Jianhong and Li Zibing looked at each other and smiled, "Hehe, we plan to do the same." ”
This is the most terrifying home stadium in the South American continent, and the two of them naturally want to go and see it, Ayovi proposed, "I can drive you there." ”
"Won't it delay your work?"
"Haha, we South Americans don't care about anything other than football, work, if you can't do it, you don't want it."
What a fierce logic, Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong thought to themselves.
Ayovi drove a second-hand Ford to the stadium with Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong, Liu Jianhong probed his brain, and saw that most of the cars on the road here were quite old, and they were probably sold after they were eliminated in the United States.
Half an hour later, the trio arrived at the Atahualpa Stadium, where Ayovi rushed to buy tickets and the trio walked into the stadium.
As soon as you walk into the stadium, you will see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the altitude here is close to 3,000 meters, and it is hard to imagine what it is like to play here.
"It must be terrible to play here as a professional," Mr. Liu said.
Ayovi nodded: "You will feel weak in your legs, but it won't be fatal." ”
"Is this the secret that Ecuadorian football always makes it to the World Cup?" Li Zibing asked.
Ayovi nodded and shook her head.
"What do you mean?"
"Of course, you can't deny the home advantage of the plateau, but I don't think so, I think there is a kind of magic in football in this country."
"Magic?"
'It's hard to explain, but if you can watch a World Cup qualifier in this stadium, maybe everything will be clear.'
This may be what it means, Li Zibing seems to understand, but it can't be very specific.
"By the way, we've bought a ticket, can we step on the lawn?" Liu Jianhong asked.
"I guess so."
Liu Jianhong asked the staff for a football, he usually plays, but he really hasn't played in the plateau, so he wants to feel it.
ran to the side of the goal with the ball and shot a kick, and Liu Jianhong sat on the ground, his face was red and he gasped for breath.
Li Zibing ran over to help him, "It's okay, Teacher Jianhong, you are so easy to die." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's a cool feeling."
"Hehe, it's still hard-mouthed."
At this moment, Liu Jianhong and Li Zibing heard a small sob, and looked up to see that it was Ayovi.
Ayove remembers when he was a child watching World Cup qualifiers, and every four years, Chile would come to Quito to visit the stadium, and Ayovi had imagined countless times that he was wearing the national team jersey and representing his country in the home stadium of Ecuador's highlands.
It's a pity that all this can never happen, and Ayovi is touched by the scene and finally can't help it.
Crying and crying, Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong put their hands on Ayovi's shoulder, Ayovi wiped his eyes, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, you're very strong, if it were me, I might not have thought about it for a long time," Mr. Liu said.
"Have you ever thought about being a coach? I have a friend who is very bad at football, but he is very good at coaching," Li Zibing said.
Liu Jianhong didn't hold back, and laughed, of course what Li Zibing said was Li Guo. Ayovi shook his head, "I like the feeling of running, maybe I'm not a good coach." ”
Liu Jianhong nodded, there are too many such examples in international football, so he said: "Or you can be like me and make a commentary." ”
"Hehe, that's good."
"Well, if we need a South American football expert in the future, we'll look for you."
"Yes, I'll count you eighty percent off."
"Hahahaha."
*****
By the end of the interview in Ecuador, Li Zibing and Liu Jianhong were already exhausted, but they still had to catch a red-eye flight back to the United States.
As soon as he landed in the United States, Li Zibing's WeChat exploded, all of which were sent by Li Guo.
"I've heard that Ecuador is unsafe, and I'm worried."
"What kind of bad job are you, quit quickly, and I will support you in the future."
"By the way, I heard that you went with Liu Jianhong, that guy is not as strong as you, can he protect you?"
Liu Jianhong watched with relish from the side, and even laughed out of tears, "I now believe that you and Director Li are true love, he has been going crazy in the past two days." ”
Li Zibing smiled, not saying anything, but in her heart.
