Chapter 306 Chapter 305 : A time-traveling ball game!
After walking around Lake Como, Zhang Feng chose to drive back to Milan.

On the way back to Milan by self-driving, the road was still pattering.In front of the car is an Audi A5. In fact, sedans are quite rare in Italy, and A-class hatchbacks are the mainstream here.

In fact, the subway is more convenient than self-driving when traveling in big cities in Italy. In addition to the restricted ZTL area, which is often a place where scenic spots are concentrated, there are also outrageous parking fees.Therefore, choosing a hotel far away from the central area, with free parking spaces, and a subway nearby is the correct way to start a self-driving tour in Milan.

Because Italy is a place that many people yearn for, perhaps in order to help more people, Zhang Feng chose to save. At the Hilton Garden Inn in the north of Milan, Zhang Feng booked an incredible price of 50 euros per night.

There is a subway station less than 200 meters away from the hotel, and it is only 6 or 7 stations away from the Great Church.

Milan and Rome are the only cities in Italy that have subways. Just see the M logo of McDonald’s. Zhang Feng looked at the tasks recorded in the small notebook and wandered around Italy, with a smile on his face. Only three-quarters of the task has been completed, and only the increase in the daily quota of the black card has been obtained. There is nothing too much. He started to remind him that the task was up to standard, but Zhang Feng did not choose to complete it, but continued to walk, and he planned to go to Venice or something along the way.

Walking into the subway, the interior of the subway here is old-fashioned, with basically no guardrails.

The first stop came to the awesome Milan Cathedral, the largest Gothic building in the world, second only to St. Peter's Church in the Vatican, the second largest church in the world.Absolutely the landmark building of Milan, which is usually destroyed ruthlessly in all kinds of disaster movies.

It was first built in 1386, and it was completed in 500 after nearly 1897 years, that is, from Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

There are many performers around the church. If you want to take pictures, you can give some tips.Zhang Feng didn't think about the tip for a while when he took the photo, but later Zhang Feng found that the guy in the photo had been staring at him, and prayed silently in his heart: "Please don't blame me for being stupid."

After traveling for a long time, I suffer from occasional slowness. It may be that the brain has been too long to do those tedious tasks, and it is useless.

In Europe, square pigeons are legal citizens here.I have always heard that there are many gypsies in the square extorting money under the guise of selling pigeon feeding. In fact, pigeons are not picky eaters at all. You can buy two packs of biscuits at a nearby convenience store and feed them casually. There is no need to provoke them.

When you approach Milan Cathedral, you will be shocked by its incomparably gorgeous appearance, with its various intricately carved pointed arches, pilasters, and flowered window lattice.The exterior walls are all made of marble, which is called the poetry of marble. It is a huge work of art in itself.

Zhang Feng was rarely in the mood to take photos, so he recorded everything in his camera.

There are more than 2000 statues on the outside of the church, all of which are carved from marble.If there are more than 6000 statues in total, it is the building with the most sculptures in the world.

Tickets for entering the church = 2 euros, and the interior of the church is subject to crowd control to enter in batches. You can queue up for ticket purchases and line up in several S-shaped lines to enter the church for a visit.The pillars on both sides are neat and uniform, forming a trend leading from the entrance to the altar.

The majestic hall is separated by four rows of pillars, all of which are made of large blocks of granite and covered with marble. These pillars together support the vaulted roof weighing 1.4 tons, forming five corridors.With an area of ​​5 square meters, it can accommodate nearly 11700 people. If it is calculated based on the population of Milan at that time, it is estimated that it must be assembled to be full.

Stained glass is embedded on both sides of the church, and these large stained glass windows can be regarded as a significant decorative feature of Gothic architecture.Pieces of stained glass carved with various floral figures tell different stories.

After visiting the interior, Zhang Feng turned around again. In the middle of the square in front of the Milan Cathedral is the first king after the unification of Italy—Vittorio Emanuele II. equestrian bronze statue.

The other side is naturally the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, known as the Milan Saloon.

The arcade is cross-shaped and is the most prosperous place in Milan. It is said to be the oldest shopping center in the world.But Zhang Feng intends to just look at it, who wants to carry a bag of cumbersome things when traveling for a long time?There is a famous picture of a bull in the corridor. It is said that if you step on it with your heel and turn it around three times, you will be lucky.Zhang Feng took a closer look at the unlucky cow's penis, which had been trampled brightly. It must be a heart-rending pain. Thinking of this, Zhang Feng couldn't help but shudder.

That day is the match day, Milan VS Frosinone, how can Zhang Feng miss it?The purple line of metro line 5 goes directly to San Siro.In fact, Zhang Feng originally wanted to drive there, but he had spent too much time in the Dajiao, and was worried that it would be too late to go back to the hotel to pick up the car, so he just took the subway there.

The San Siro platform is full of elements of the two Milan teams, highlighting the charm of football culture everywhere.These years are getting farther and farther away from the Champions League. Zhang Feng hopes that Milan can rise again as soon as possible after being acquired by the Chinese local tyrants.

As soon as you get out of the subway, you can hear the singing from the stadium not far away, the fans outside the stadium are crowded, everyone is full of festive happiness, and every place reveals the charm of top football culture.Zhang Feng doesn't know whether the off-field jerseys are genuine or pirated, but since he's here to buy them, why not go to the official store?

For lunch, Zhang Feng eats it directly at the canteen outside the stadium. Panini is 5 euros, with ham, tomato, fresh mozzarella cheese, oregano, or lemon, green pepper, and small artichokes in the middle...it tastes salty and fragrant tasty.

Although in recent years Milan has turned into a mi diao, and Milan's performance this season is mediocre and hopeless in the Champions League, and the football market is also slightly bleak, but Zhang Feng actually doesn't have too many extravagant hopes, he just wants to realize the wish he has cherished since he was young.

Beer, chips and coke are sold everywhere in the stadium, and the best-selling product is naturally beer.

The Milan team anthem before the start made people excited. Milan, Milan solo con te!The whole chorus was going to explode.

When reporting the starting list, the audience shouted the names of every Milan player,

Ba-low-te! !profit--
Desi-le-o! ! !
That's roughly the tune.

Not far from where Zhang Feng was sitting was the south stand of the famous AC Milan fans, and all the people sitting on it were diehard fans.Zhang Feng was sitting on the south side of the stand, and the momentum he directly felt was very terrifying, always neat singing and flying flags.
