Fame with a ball

Lin Zhigao was deeply shocked by the fact that John was divorced, even more than the fact that he knew that John was already a father before he was 20 years old.

In Lin Zhigao's view, a gentleman like John—who comes from a wealthy family, is rich, knowledgeable, and values ​​his own fame very much—shouldn't he choose a gentle and gracious lady, and then get married, loving each other , won't be separated for decades?Even if the husband and wife seem to be in harmony, they will not choose to divorce, but manage the marriage as a face-saving project.

For example, the American dramas "Desperate Housewives" and "The Good Wife" that Qian Hongyan likes to watch, aren't most upper-class families like this?This preconceived cognition made Lin Zhigao feel that John's marriage was a bit strange.

As for the reason for his divorce, John did not take the initiative to mention it, and of course Lin Zhigao did not ask.He felt that if a person like John would choose to divorce, then the process must be very bloody and miserable. Lin Zhigao would not poke a friend's scar or something.

But that's on the surface, but in his heart, Lin Zhigao's brain is very rich in content. After he ruled out John's ugly appearance, John's domestic violence, John's bankruptcy, John's infertility, and John's lack of love for his wife ( People who choose to get married at the age of 19 should have some true love for each other) After all these factors, Lin Zhigao sighed with regret—oh, poor John, but was abandoned by a woman.

Lin Zhigao, who was immersed in his brain fantasy and could not extricate himself, naturally missed the regretful expression on John's face...

In this way, one was waiting for the other party to propose, while the other was unwilling to poke the scars in the friend's heart. The two skillfully avoided this topic until they broke up. This small turmoil was resolved in this way.

However, one of the sequelae of this small incident to Lin Zhigao is that he has indeed begun to think about his relationship issues.Among other things, staying in Turin all day, either for competitions or training, and the occasional entertainment life is to go out to drink, drink and eat with single teammates. This is really boring enough.

The local media in Turin have never caught Lin Zhigao's misdeeds, so they specially nicknamed him "Good Boy". From time to time, Lin Zhigao should be mentioned, saying that he is one of the embryos of a good football man in the future. If he stays in such a scandal-free state for a few years, and then finds a reliable girlfriend to marry and have children, he can directly be with the good football man. Representatives: Baggio, Totti, Raul, Zidane, Kaka and others are tied.

Some people may think that such praise from the media is praise, but some people think it is ironic after hearing it.For example, Lin Zhigao himself, he always feels that every time the media hypes that he is different from Ibrahimovic, they repeat over and over again: You are a chicken... a chicken...

A week before the final match of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Torino and the media in Catalonia had a war of words.The Spanish media ridiculed that Juventus has no strikers. After coming to the Nou Camp, they must lose their face and lose the ball. It is better to announce their surrender early.The Turin media ridiculed Barcelona not only for the players who graduated from Laying, but also for the reporters. Every time before the game, they have to create psychological pressure on the opponent, but you just go ahead and hype, we Juventus are not afraid!

The war of words between the two sides was fierce, coupled with the fact that Pilsen of the Czech Republic and Marseille of France were not to be outdone, the local media evaluated which of the last two teams in Group H would qualify. attention from almost all of Europe.

In addition to Europe, the Chinese media and fans are also very concerned about this game. If Juventus can qualify, Lin Zhigao will become the No.1 Chinese player to break into the Champions League knockout round, which is another record.

On Weibo and forum posts, some fans said that even if they had to go to work the next day, they would stay up late to watch the Barcelona-Juventus game the night before. The network replay makes up for it.Some "not short of money" netizens even left a message saying: "As long as Juventus can reach the Champions League final, I will go to Wembley to watch Lin Zhigao at my own expense!"

The netizen replied on the floor below, some envious, some despised, and some fans who were not short of money said directly: "Did you only go to the scene to watch the final? As long as Juventus can reach the quarter-finals, I will follow the team." Let's go and watch! The game will never fall!" This netizen's response was more... intense than the previous netizen's.

The last match of the UEFA Champions League group stage kicked off with the media spouting each other. The last round of matches that attracted the attention of the European media were Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich in Group A and Arsenal vs. Borussia Dortmund in Group C. , and Barcelona vs Juventus in Group H.

On December 12th, all Juventus took a chartered flight to Barcelona, ​​the capital of Catalonia, Spain, and stayed in a hotel not far from Barcelona's home stadium, Camp Nou.

In the past two days, all Juventus players have not left the hotel. They are either recovering in the gym to maintain their strength, or under the leadership of Capello, they are immersed in studying various tactics and data of Barcelona. They even rarely contact their girlfriends or family members on the phone. .Fortunately, the time difference between Italy and Spain is the same, so the players don't need to make special adjustments.

At seven o'clock in the evening on December 12th, Barcelona's home stadium, Camp Nou, ushered in their people from afar.

Because it was already dark, all the floodlights in the stadium were turned on, and most of the fans had already checked their tickets to enter the arena. Even the reporters, most of them went to the press area to prepare for the start of the game.

In the Camp Nou stadium, which can accommodate 10 fans, 90% of the stands are occupied by Barcelona fans. They wear red and blue jerseys, paint on their faces, and have weird hairstyles, even before the game starts. They sang and cheered before, against the night and lights of Camp Nou, making all this particularly spectacular and shocking.

Capello didn't say anything special to Lin Zhigao and the others in the locker room, let alone made any special arrangements.What can be said and what should be done, he has done all in the past few days, and the rest depends on whether the players can live up to expectations and whether God cares about Juventus.

In fact, all the players could see Capello's nervousness - when Capello gave lectures in the locker room, he was always concise and straight to the point, and kept his face expressionless throughout the whole process, but today, he has already repeated three times. Repeated his own words, and said four words wrong.

Iaquinta even showed a somewhat shocked expression, and secretly said to Lin Zhigao: "Hey, I read that right, our boss is nervous?"

"Everyone is nervous, Vincenzo." Lin Zhigao held up his palm to show him: "Look, my palm is sweating too."

Iaquinta curled her lips: "You are the reason why the heating in the room is too high. Che, who doesn't know that you are crazy?"

Lin Zhigao shrugged, expressing that he was unwilling to argue with Iaquinta.

In fact, he is indeed nervous, this is definitely not deceiving, but when others are nervous, their foreheads sweat, their faces turn red, and their expressions do not match.As for Lin Zhigao, when he was nervous, he only showed one thing, and that was—sweaty palms.Except for the palms of his hands, he refused to show any clues on his forehead, let alone his complexion. Lin Zhigao still refers to this as his own extraordinary talent, but his teammates called him "too good-natured, willing to pretend".

It is inevitable that Juventus players will be nervous, because this game is related to whether they can enter the Champions League knockout round, not to mention their opponent is Barcelona!

And Capello's nervousness seems abnormal, because he is a gold medal coach after all, and he is used to big scenes.The Juventus teammates thought about it, and only came up with a more reliable reason, that is, Capello very, very valued this game, and even more valued their opponent Barcelona.

You know, Capello was the head coach of Real Madrid before, and no one knows the horror of Barcelona better than him.

……

Because of Capello's early dismissal, all Juventus players came to the player channel ahead of schedule.And here, there are already two rows of cute little ball boys, wearing the uniforms of Juventus and Barcelona, ​​and after a while, the players of the two teams will hold their hands and walk out of the player tunnel to start the official game.

The Spanish caddies stared at the Juventus players who appeared in front of them with curious eyes. The girls were a little shy and only dared to look. Say hello in Spanish.

Lin Zhigao deliberately showed off the few words of Spanish he had learned by himself. He bent down kindly and said to a boy wearing a Barcelona jersey: "How old are you and what's your name?"

Before the little boy could answer, a chubby guy next to him started laughing, pointing at Lin Zhigao while laughing.

His words were not complicated, and Lin Zhigao quickly understood that the little chubby man was laughing at his Spanish pronunciation, and said that he had mispronounced a phonetic symbol.

Little Fatty's ridicule quickly resonated with the other children, and they all grinned happily.

Being ridiculed by a group of children, Lin Zhigao's face immediately stinks.

Most of his teammates don't understand Spanish. Although some can understand, children can't articulate their words clearly, so they don't know why Lin Zhigao said a few words, and these children all laughed. They thought Lin Zhigao was telling a joke to these children!

So Iaquinta asked Lin Zhigao: "What did you say so funny? Tell us too."

Lin Zhigao ignored him, but he couldn't help muttering: "These little bastards."

Just when this group of little kids were having fun, Barcelona players also appeared at the other end of the player tunnel. Lin Zhigao quickly saw his two acquaintances, Messi and Cesc Fabregas.

"Leo, Francisco!" Lin Zhigao greeted them loudly.

Messi and Cesc Fabregas also saw Lin Zhigao, they walked over, hugged him, and asked him: "Are you ready to lose to us?"

"Fuck you!" Lin Zhigao punched Messi.

After Fabregas hugged Lin Zhigao, he asked him: "Does your club want to buy Robin? Recently, the newspapers began to publish the news that your Juventus made an offer to Arsenal for Robin."

"How do I know this kind of thing? Coach Capello won't discuss transfer matters with players." Lin Zhi shrugged and said, "But I don't think it is possible for Robin to leave Arsenal. He likes the Emirates Stadium so much. , I like Professor Wenger so much, this time either the reporter writes scribbles, or he wants to raise his salary.”

Fabregas nodded: "Actually, I think so too, but I haven't found the time to ask Robin."

Messi suddenly came over at this time, leaning next to Lin Zhigao, wanting to bite his ear.

"Ambiguous, you!" As soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of hot air rushed to Lin Zhigao's ears. Sensitive, he immediately turned smart and pushed Messi away.

Messi made an unbearable expression and leaned over again: "I'm telling you something serious."

Fabregas also winked at him at this time.

Lin Zhigao approached Messi suspiciously, and heard him whisper: "Recently, the team is betting on who will win the Golden Boy Award, you or Thiago. Give me some courage!"

Lin Zhigao gasped: "You guys gamble!"

His voice was not too low, so Messi quickly covered Lin Zhigao's mouth before other people looked suspiciously at him, and then threatened him: "It's just a meal, a meal! But, uh... yours Shouldn't the point be that we bet on you!"

"Yeah, why are you pressing on me?"

Why do you feel that the taste of these words is wrong... The corner of Messi's mouth twitched, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think you are the most hopeful? Also, the two of us only support you for the sake of being friends with you For this reason, we betrayed a teammate."

Lin Zhigao rolled his eyes at him: "You also know that we are friends! How about this, I will open a gamble in Turin when I go back, how about beating you to win the Golden Globe Award again this year?"

Messi shyly said: "This is not good. I have been the Golden Globe winner for four consecutive years, and others will hate me to death."

Lin Zhigao: "..."

The rest of the Barcelona and Juventus players stood silently in the player tunnel, watching Lin Zhigao, Messi and Fabregas hug each other openly and "flirting".Logically speaking, the two teams today should have been mortal enemies. Since they are mortal enemies, there should be a bit of tension, right?

But these three people chatted and laughed unscrupulously, and immediately wiped out the atmosphere of "you are the enemy so I want to hate you" that other players tried their best to create.The Juventus players are okay, they have already drank and ate with Messi Xiaofa, and they are not surprised by this scene.And what about the Barcelona players?Most of them are still wondering: When did Messi and Fabregas get so good with Juventus players...

Just when the three of them were chatting high, a weak, small voice with obvious lack of confidence suddenly came out: "Can I ask you for an autograph?"

The two teams looked around for the spokesperson, Messi and Lin Zhigao were the closest, and immediately found that the person who spoke was standing next to them, a chubby boy wearing a Barcelona jersey.

Lin Zhigao saw it more clearly: Didn't this little boy just laugh at his little fat man!

At this moment, the little fat man was looking at Messi with admiration, trembling with excitement, pulling the corner of his jersey tremblingly, fumbling with his hands to find a pen.

Messi smiled, and was about to lower his head to talk to the little fan when a hand suddenly came across and pulled him away.

"Don't give him an autograph!" Lin Zhigao said solemnly and righteously.

Messi was taken aback: "Why?"

Lin Zhigao pointed at the little fan, and said with a bit of hurt and grievance: "He just laughed at me!"

"What did he laugh at you for?"

"...he laughed at my bad Spanish!"

Messi was almost stunned, but after a few seconds, he burst into a burst of shocking laughter, "hahahaha" laughing non-stop.The one who behaved like him was Cesc Fabregas, who was standing next to them and listening to them. This guy covered his stomach and smiled more exaggeratedly than Messi.

Lin Zhigao almost exploded.

Messi laughed for a long time before stopping, and glanced at the pouting little fan who was about to cry because of Lin Zhigao's words. First, he found a pen and signed him, and then nodded Lin Zhigao's head: "How old is he, but he still fights with a child."

Lin Zhigao yelled in dissatisfaction: "I just want to fight, who made him laugh at me!"

It's over, because of his noise, everyone in the passage knows what's wrong with him.Whether it was Barcelona players, Juventus players, or even other children, laughter broke out at the same time.

The most ridiculous thing was that the little fat man who wanted to get Messi's autograph pointed to the autograph on his clothes and made a face at Lin Zhigao triumphantly.

Ahhh!I'm really going to be pissed off! ——Lin Zhigao's blood surged immediately, and then he stared at everyone fiercely: Everyone here is a villain!Badass!

The player tunnel was in a mess, but the staff outside were in a hurry: According to the time, the players from both sides should come out holding the hands of the caddies at this moment, and the reporters also stood up outside. No one came out?Could it be that some accident happened?

So the staff rushed in, seeing that everyone was there, heaved a sigh of relief, and then shouted: "It's time to get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhigao rushed out from beside him angrily.

Messi followed behind him, holding the hands of the two little caddies, laughing and shouting as he walked, "Hey, your caddies are lost here!"
