I Want to Be the King of Football

In the afternoon, on the viaduct in downtown Porto, a black car drove at high speed from west to east.

In the back seat of the car, it was Su Wenji and his wife who had just arrived in Europe from China. In the front passenger seat was Ma Dawei, a reporter from China News Agency in the Iberian Peninsula.

The three of them arrived in Frankfurt, Germany yesterday, and after staying overnight in the hotel Mendes reserved, they flew directly to Porto today, just to watch the Portuguese Super League championship match in the afternoon.

Like all leagues, the final round of the Portuguese Super League starts in the afternoon.

The time is very tight. After flying from Frankfurt to Porto, Mendes had arranged for the driver to wait at the airport. After receiving the person, he crossed the entire urban area of ​​Porto without stopping and came to the Fire Dragon Stadium in the east.

Turn south over the overpass, and soon enter the scope of the Fire Dragon Stadium.

Get off the viaduct and drive straight to the parking lot.

Unlike most stadiums in Europe, which have dedicated open-air parking lots, the Fire Dragon Stadium is located in the urban area of ​​Porto. Hundreds of parking spaces, every race day, it is often difficult to park one car.

Mendes had already planned for this.

The driver drove the car directly to the internal parking area, and after being inquired, the administrator quickly released it.

Wait a minute, we're going to the area for the away fans, we have to walk for a while, and stroll around the inside of the Fire Dragon Stadium by the way. The driver said.

Ma Dawei relayed it to Su Wenji and his wife. They both came to Huolong Stadium for the first time. They were also full of curiosity and freshness about this five-star stadium that will host the European Cup, especially Su Wenji.

After parking the car, the driver took the three along the inner passage to the stand area where the away fans were.

Like all home teams, Porto also arranged the away fans of Sporting Lisbon in the most remote corners, and strictly controlled the number of people. It is said that only less than 2,000 people were released.

Otherwise, with the number of fans of Sporting Lisbon, coupled with the particularity of today's game, at least half of the country can be accounted for, which also makes the tickets for the Fire Dragon Stadium very tight today.

The driver is very familiar with the Fire Dragon Stadium, as Porto's administrative offices are located here.

Along the way, he kept introducing the stadium's facilities to Ma Dawei and others. For example, the passage leads to the players' locker room, this one leads to the restaurant, and the door in the distance leads directly to the stadium's honor room and fan store. ...

Su Wenji and his wife followed closely.

They couldn't understand what the driver was saying and could only rely on Ma Dawei's translation, but they were very nervous.

They were about to see their son soon, but their mood was even more uneasy.

After two years, I don't know what Su Dong looks like?

How is he preparing for the game this afternoon?

Will the sudden arrival of his parents make him nervous and stressed?

All these thoughts made Su Wenji and his wife very worried, and it was difficult to rest assured.

Uncle, auntie, don't be nervous, didn't Su Dong just call? It sounds like he is very happy to see you here. Ma Dawei saw the mood of Su Wenji and his wife, and he was actually a little nervous.

Su Wenji sighed deeply, I'm just afraid that he will be too happy and affect the game.

Don't worry, as professional players, they will have their own set of ways to adjust their mood. Ma Dawei can only comfort.

This kid has been steady since he was a child. When he first started practicing, he never compromised. He played football with kids a few years older than him all day long. He never said a word. Kicked out.

Mother Yang Xiuyu talked about her son's past history, and her whole person fell into good memories, showing a proud look.

Who said it wasn't? Su Wenji was also quite emotional, Looking back on it now, it was indeed too much care at the beginning. When he was only sixteen years old, he was sent to Europe alone. This child has been here for two years. , never complaining to the family about suffering, and always only reporting good news and not bad news.

Along the way, Ma Dawei heard a lot from Su Wenji and his wife about Su Dong's previous events, which will become important material for his next series of continuous reports, but at this moment, his responsibility is to comfort the couple.

Uncle, auntie, as you said, when you come to see the game, Su Dong will only be happy and will not be affected.

Su Wenji and his wife looked at each other and nodded, but they still had doubts in their hearts.

...

Walking out of the inner passage and coming to the stadium stand, it makes people feel suddenly enlightened.

The stands of the Fire Dragon Stadium are very spectacular, and the fans of Sporting Lisbon are arranged in the most remote corner of the stands on the second floor.

This is the practice of almost all European teams to treat away fans.

But even sitting in the most remote corner, you can clearly feel the grandeur and splendor of this stadium.

Tonight, there are more than 50,000 people in this stadium!

How terrifying is the aura formed by so many people!

Su Wenji and his wife, who were watching the game in Europe for the first time, were even more excited.

This is very different from domestic stadiums. There is no track and field between the stadium and the stands, which not only allows the fans in the stands to have a better view and get closer to the stadium, but also has a feeling of looking down at the audience.

They hurried all the way, and finally arrived before the game started.

The players of the two teams are coming out soon. Ma Dawei listened to the live broadcast and translated.

Su Wenji and his wife suddenly became nervous, clenching their fists tightly with both hands.

Soon, there was a burst of frantic cheers at the scene, and the players of the two teams were seen walking out of the stadium one after another under the leadership of the referee. Porto was wearing their home jersey, while Sporting Lisbon was wearing their iconic green jersey. There are blue and white vertical stripes, and one is green and white horizontal stripes, but they are also distinct.

Albertini! Su Wenji excitedly pointed at a Sporting Lisbon fan and said to his wife.

Originally, Yang Xiuyu didn't understand football, but in the past two years, because of Su Dong, she has also come into contact with a lot of Lisbon Sporting players, and she even recognized most of the Green Lions, mainly some of Su Dong's friends.

Andre Cruise!

Xiuyu, do you see that, that's Peipei, Xiaodong's good friend, he's really strong!

And that, Cristiano Ronaldo, aka Ronnie, he's a little skinny!

Quaresma is the teammate Xiaodong said on the phone who is very good at dribbling.

Su Wenji knows a lot about Sporting Lisbon players. Every time he introduces a player, he always mentions his son.

When the last player of the two teams walked out of the tunnel, both Su Wenji and his wife stared blankly at the familiar and unfamiliar figure in front of them, wasn't it the precious son they had been thinking about for two years?

Xiaodong? Yang Xiuyu's tears almost fell, Wenji, is that Xiaodong?

Well, number 36, it's him, it's him! Su Wenji's eyes were also red.

He has grown so tall. Yang Xiuyu's voice was choked, and her tears finally couldn't help flowing.

Su Wenji also kept nodding, unable to speak, for fear that he would cry as soon as he made a sound.

For the past two years, they have been thinking of their precious son every day, but now that they have seen him, they feel very unfamiliar.

In their memory, Su Dong was not so tall and strong.

Su Dong in the stadium was obviously looking for them everywhere, and looked towards the area where they were.

He saw us! Su Wenji was excited.

The couple quickly stood up from their seats and waved at Su Dong vigorously.

The scene was full of people, people were full of voices, people were everywhere, and there were arms everywhere. They were afraid that Su Dong could not find anyone.

Su Dong in the stadium waved at them forcefully, which made the couple in the stands happy.

He saw it! He saw us! Su Wenji and his wife hugged each other and couldn't help crying.

This is the first time they have seen their son's face in two years!

...

In fact, Su Dong did not find his parents.

He knew about which area he was sitting in, but in a small area, there were thousands of people. It was difficult for him to find it, but he was still waving because he knew that his parents in the stands would definitely see him.

Where are your parents sitting? Ronnie asked with concern.

Su Dong nodded, It should have arrived.

When they called just now, they were already in the car coming over, and they should have arrived now.

I'll help you score a goal tonight! Ronnie suggested with a smile.

What do you want to do?

How about getting Ferreira?

Su Dong was delighted, Isn't he your daughter-in-law?

I don't mind lending you a play. Ronnie smiled solemnly.

Ferrera said, I'm very interested. Su Dong laughed.

The two teams have their respective battles, and the game is about to start.

Su Dong stood in the middle circle, ready to serve.

There was a little silence and the noise was much quieter. It was obvious that the fans were brewing the next wave.

But at this moment, a clear shout suddenly came from the stands.

Come on, Xiaodong!

The voice was shouted in Chinese, and it was very familiar. Su Dong knew it was his father when he heard it.

He turned his head again, looked in the direction of his father's stand, raised his right hand high, and clenched his fist.

Your dad? asked Ronnie across from him.

Well, it should be.

That's pretty brave, too, there were all Porto fans, and he shouted like that...

Su Dong was also amused. He never thought that his usually honest and honest father would have such a brave side.

Sure enough, although Porto fans basically can't understand Chinese, the word [dong] can still be heard. Among the players on the scene, there is a Sudong pronunciation that is close, and it comes from the area where Sporting Lisbon fans are. The answer needs no further explanation.

As a result, Porto fans launched more violent boos, completely engulfing the voices of Sporting Lisbon fans.

There were even Porto fans on the scene who made a sign asking Su Dong to get out of the Fire Dragon Stadium, obviously hoping to affect the fighting spirit of the Lisbon Sporting players.

Su Dong in the middle circle only felt his heart warm.

The father who is an honest man on weekdays has already sacrificed himself. As a son, he can't be ashamed of him, right?
