Frenzy [football]

When the club chairman of Atlético de Madrid asked Lei Yi that question, he asked Lei Yi without even thinking about it: "Can I wear the No. 11 jersey, sir?"

It is a pity that Atletico Madrid's No. 11 jersey has already been worn.However, the club chairman promised that if his performance in the club is good enough, then when the team's jersey number changes, he will reserve the No. 11 jersey for Lei Yi in advance.

So Lei Yi had to choose the No. 99 jersey he had worn in Sao Paulo and Porto.

Perhaps, at some point in the future, the No. 99 jersey will become a symbol exclusive to Lei Yi in football.

Just like Nesta's No. 13 jersey, Golden Wolf Guti's No. 14 jersey, Kaka's No. 22 jersey, or Bashen's No. 45 jersey.

After completing the signing of the transfer contract with Atletico Madrid, a resettlement specialist working for Atletico Madrid shook hands with Lei Yi and his father in a friendly way, and expressed that he would try his best to help Lei Yi and his family settle down in Madrid .

With the help of resettlement specialists, Lei Yi's family, who were not so demanding in all aspects, quickly found a suitable house in Madrid.And until Lei Yi's family completed the move one after another, Javier's transfer to Real Madrid was still not completed.And compared to the deal in which Porto sold Thunder Wing Lightning, the transfer deal about where the Spanish Golden Boy will go next season has not only not been completed, but has also fallen into various dangers...

Perhaps it was because Atletico Madrid was very dissatisfied with the news that Javier would transfer to Real Madrid this summer was leaked in advance, and believed that this matter must be related to Real Madrid. Sold to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 3700 million euros.

Now, Real Madrid has raised the price twice again, and offered Atletico Madrid a price of 4000 million for Javier's transfer, but Atletico Madrid still rejected Real Madrid's offer.

Although Javier is indeed the winner of the last European Golden Boy Award, and has outstanding abilities, he is a promising and very useful player.Even Javier has the looks that suit Real Madrid's liking, but for such a player who is only 21 years old, such a price is too high and too high.

As a club with particularly successful business operations, Real Madrid has always been famous for its wealth and wealth.

For Real Madrid, as long as it is what they fancy, they must buy it if they are firm in their minds. They dare to shoot no matter how expensive the player is. The team can't make it.

But being taken advantage of clearly by others, the top management of Real Madrid will still be very unhappy.

At the beginning, they wanted to explain to each other that the "information leak" had nothing to do with them through active communication with Atletico Madrid's top management, but Atletico Madrid's top management didn't believe a word of those.So, here comes the wonderful thing. Several major newspapers in Spain will follow up and report on this high-profile transfer transaction almost every day.

In the past few days, every time Lei Yi passed by a nearby grocery store on his bicycle, he would see a large headline like "Real Madrid raises the price again! Javier submits another transfer offer to Atletico Madrid!" .

Don't ask why Lei Yi can understand Spanish.

In fact, Portuguese and Spanish may not sound that much alike when spoken, but they are very similar when written.

If it is a short sentence that is not so complicated and difficult to understand, Long and Short Legs can understand it with a guess based on his excellent Portuguese.

Alas, poor Javier.

When passing the newsstand again, Lei Yi silently sighed in his heart for Javier who was caught in a transfer dispute.

He is not his father who doesn't understand football, and he doesn't understand what kind of pressure Javier will bear in this transfer.

Real Madrid is the rival of Atletico Madrid in the same city, and Real Madrid is stronger than Atletico Madrid in terms of the size of the club and the influence in football.

Under such circumstances, the transfer of Atletico Madrid's players to Real Madrid is something that will make Atletico Madrid's die-hard fans very unhappy or even angry.

Before Lei Yi transferred to Atletico Madrid, he had already discovered that there are actually a large number of Atletico Madrid fans in Madrid.

In football, there are many things that fans hate a player because of his transfer.

More importantly, this is not Barcelona and Real Madrid. The distance between Madrid and Barcelona will take more than an hour even by plane. During away games.

The situation facing Javier is completely different.

He is a native of Madrid, and Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are both teams in the Spanish capital Madrid.He did not need to move from Atletico Madrid to Real Madrid. He still needs to train, eat and go shopping in Madrid every day.

Speaking of which, the move to Real Madrid was a matter of great courage for Javier.

And now, because of this transfer, he is in the newspapers every day, and he doesn't know if the transfer will be successful in the end.

Ugh……

Poor Javier.

Thinking of this, Lei Yi once again sighed in his heart for Javier.

Fortunately, both he and Tigos' transfers this summer can be considered smooth.

Thinking of this, the long and short legs felt happy again.

Yes, in June, both Lei Yi and his good friend Tigos successfully completed the transfer, and both of them left the Portuguese Super League.Lei Wing joined Atletico Madrid with a transfer fee of 1600 million euros, while Tigos... Tigos moved to the Premier League Manchester United at a price of 2500 million pounds.

Perhaps it was because Porto and Sporting Lisbon performed so eye-catchingly in the Europa League quarter-finals this season. Lei Yi was bought by Atletico Madrid, who lost to them at the time. As Manchester City's city derby, Manchester United He was obviously very satisfied with Tigos' performance in that battle, and bought Sporting Lisbon's main winger, Tigos, from Sporting Lisbon.

As long as you are familiar with football and football, you will not be too surprised by these two transfer transactions.

Maybe you will be a little surprised when you hear that, but after the surprise, you will have a kind of... "It really is like this".

A year ago, Lei Yi would not have known, maybe because of that little accident, it might be very difficult for him and his good friend Tigos to become teammates in the same club again.

But now, there may be some hunch about the length of the legs.

When they were still playing in Porto and Lisbon, as long as they thought about each other, they only needed to go to the train station, buy a train ticket, and then they would be able to reach each other's city in two or three hours.But now, one of them went to Madrid, Spain, and the other went to Manchester. The distance between them was so far that even if they took a plane, it would take at least two and a half hours.

But it's not bad, he is not getting farther and farther away from his good friend Dominguez who he knew in Brazil, but... even closer.

After cycling through the European palace-style buildings in the center of Madrid, he parked the bicycle with long and short legs, and leaned on it to call his good friend Tigos.

As soon as the phone was connected, he heard a series of chaotic and chaotic sounds, followed by... Tiggs' muffled panting and moaning...

Lei Yi: "..."

After being silent for a long time, the long and short legs who felt that they might have caused trouble finally stammered after hesitation: "Ti, Tigos! Tigos, how are you, are you still alive!"

Then, he heard Tiggs' very irritable voice: "Oh! Bastard! My shelf has fallen..."

Apparently, Tigos has now arrived in Manchester, England, and has already found a house, and is now starting to organize his new home.And the phone call Lei Yi made seems to have contributed to a certain tragedy.

But it doesn't matter, just based on the performance of the Portuguese golden boy on the court, you can understand that such a tragedy can't hurt him.After a while, Tiggs began to complain about the new environment he was not used to with his good friend while rubbing the place where he just hit.

"I've only been here for three days and in only three days I feel like I'm going to die of hunger in the future! The food in the UK is terrible! Fry, fry, fry!! They can't eat anything that hasn't been fried in oil Isn’t it a pizza thing!! Oh! There is no comparison between this place and Portugal!!”

Hearing Tigos’s complaints, Lei Yi also complained to his friends: “The food in Madrid is not as good as that in Porto! And the city here is too big! I want to find a place with a lot of woods and less people. I can't run around all over the mountains!!"

Tiggs laughed and continued: "The weather in Madrid is always good, right? The weather here in Manchester is terrible! I can't feel the beauty of summer in July! It's gloomy and always It’s raining!! I want sunshine!! Hot sunshine!! Mushrooms will grow on my body if this continues!!”

It seems that these two Portuguese Super League supernovas who have just changed to a new environment last season have not yet been able to adapt to a city that is completely unfamiliar to them.Last year, Lei Yi's family moved from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Porto, Portugal.

What is crossed in this is not only the country, but even from one continent to another.

But anyway, Portugal and Brazil speak the same language.

Moreover, the second largest city in Portugal that Lei Yi fell in love with is a quiet enough city.

Not to mention that almost as soon as he arrived in Portugal, his friend Tigos started doing his best to help him adapt to the new environment.

But now, one of the two friends who were close to each other went to Spain, and the other went to the UK.

The distance between them has become farther away.

Tiggs: "Oh, Leiy, my dear Leiy. Manchester is far away from Madrid. I used to be able to see you by train in three hours from Lisbon. Now it takes two and a half hours by plane! Madrid There’s even a time difference with Manchester!!”

Lei Yi: "Don't be sad, there is actually an hour's time difference between Portugal and Spain..."

Tiggs: "Oh...it won't be easy to come and see you in the future."

Lei Yi: "Yes... Ryanair is the only direct flight between Madrid and Manchester! And there are flights from Madrid to Manchester on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, but the flight from Manchester to Madrid is only Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday only! No flights on Tuesday!!”

The long and short legs said angrily about the flight information he had figured out yesterday, which surprised Tigos. The voice that seemed to be very listless and unhappy just now suddenly became full of joy.

Tiggs: "You checked it too!!?"

Lei Yi: "Yeah!! I also checked other connecting routes!! The British Airways connecting flight from London takes three and a half hours from Manchester to Madrid! There are also flights every day! But the air ticket is so expensive! More than 600 euros!"

Tiggs: "Hahahahaha! Leiy! You still give all your salary to your mother?"

Lei Yi: "Well... However, my father said that if I can get the extra bonus in the terms of the contract, then I will give me pocket money! Then I can spend it as I want! 50 euros!!"

Long Short Legs and his good friend talked about the special bonus clause written in the player's contract, and also talked about his "great ambitions".In fact, Atletico Madrid wrote this special bonus clause into Lei Yi's contract in the hope that this young talented winger can achieve this special clause in the next four years.What Lei Yi wanted, of course, was to get it in the first year of coming here!

The two talked about their prospects in the new league and the new team, and Tigos even talked about the "tradition" between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United with his long-legged friends.

"Actually, Sporting Lisbon's youth academy has always produced good wingers, good Portuguese wingers! Since the beginning of this century, Manchester United has always liked the wingers from Sporting Lisbon!! But what number should a good winger wear? Of course No. 7! Leiy, my good friend Leiy! I have to tell you that my goal is to get Manchester United's No. 7 shirt in the future! Manchester United's No. 7 shirt has been given to their best players since a long time ago Prepared!! It is also the soul of the whole team! It is the greatest player of Manchester United in a period!!"

Tigos told Lei Yi about Manchester United's No. 7 jersey complex, and Lei Yi talked to Tigos about his No. 11 jersey.Although in all aspects, Atletico Madrid is considered a team that is one level worse than Manchester United in the Premier League, but the two seem to not care about it at all.For Tigos, Manchester United will be the place to prove his brilliance, while for Lei Yi, he is eager to further prove himself to the world in La Liga, which is listed in the top five European leagues.

As soon as they talked about their prospects, the two seemed to have forgotten their various discomforts in the new environment, and what was carried in their voices was slowly, expectations and desires for the future.

Suddenly, Tiggs changed his voice and said: "Leiy! Since the new season hasn't started yet, why don't we... let's go out for another vacation in the last time? Without a vacation that makes people feel happy physically and mentally, how can we Can this start a new intense season?"

Ok?

Hearing this good proposal, Lei Yi raised his eyebrows, and said happily and excitedly, "Okay!"

But with this proposal, the two fell into a difficult choice that was difficult to reconcile.Tiggs, a silly boy born in a poor family, once again said "Ibiza Island", a place that all stars like.In this regard, the long and short legs of course immediately vetoed it, saying that going to Ibiza is not only sunbathing, but also sunbathing, so boring! !Moreover, the long and short legs also said: "How about I take you to Brazil to play, Tigos! Brazil is very good, really good!"

But Tiggs immediately disliked it and said that it was too far away and he was not happy to go.

After a heated discussion, Tigos finally made another proposal: "How about... let's go to Sardinia, Italy!"

Lei Yi: "Isn't that basking in the sun on the beach? You might as well set up a beach chair on the balcony or in the yard of your home, and it's the same if you put on swimming trunks and lie there!"

Tiggs criticized: "Oh, Leiy, I really haven't seen a player who is more boring and unattractive than you! Do you understand the true meaning of vacation!! Vacation is supposed to be used to relax! You just Time to be on your own yacht with your own girls! Get some sun and do fun things."

Lei Yi: "So, where is your girl?"

Tiggs: "..."

Tiggs, who was stabbed by Lei Yi again, said after a few deep breaths: "Leiy! Leiy Garrincha! I tell you solemnly! You can't talk to me like that!!!"

The two live treasures quarreled on the phone again and again.The children sitting next to Lei Yi were so terrified that they ran away with their parents, far away from this person...

The two were arguing and arguing, and after more than 20 minutes of arguing, they finally decided to just go to Sardinia.But just when the two of them calmed down and planned to make a good appointment with each other... the long and short legs unexpectedly discovered that their time... couldn't match at all! !

My God! !

Atletico Madrid agreed to hold a press meeting and a fan meeting for him three days later! !

But in four days, Tigos will go abroad with the team to play various invitational and business matches! !

why is it like this!

why is it like this! !

Obviously they can rest for many more days at Atletico Madrid! !

He felt the malice from the giants! ! !

The long and short legs who knew the truth burst into tears! !

He doesn't care!He's going on vacation to Sardinia!He's off to Sardinia to enjoy the sand and sun! !

Obviously caught in some kind of inertial thinking, the long and short legs suddenly felt that they had to go to Sardinia!I don't want to go anywhere else!So he immediately called his Brazilian friend Dominguez!And as soon as the phone was connected, the group of steel balls said: "Domingos, let's go to Sardinia for vacation together! Go, go!!"

Dominguez: "Why did you make such a sudden decision? Our Inter Milan will go to Asia to play the summer commercial game next week."

Lei Yi: "So take advantage of it now!! How can we start a new intense season like this without a pleasant vacation?"

Lei Yi had obviously been infected by Tigos unknowingly!At this moment, he didn't realize that the last sentence he uttered was what the Portuguese said just now when he was trying to persuade him!

But the next moment... his tears fell again! !

Dominguez made a hesitant sound and told him, "But I'm still...in Brazil."

Just now trying to convince his Portuguese friend to play with him in Brazil, the long and short leg hangs up! !

No girl or boy to go to Sardinia with him! !In this regard, the long and short legs feel sad, angry and sad! !He said he was going back home!Back to China! !It's summer vacation now!He wants to go back to China to play with his football friends! !

But it is a pity that his parents quickly suppressed his desire to have long or short legs, and under the terrible threat of armed forces, Lei Yi could only stay in Madrid honestly until the press conference held for him by Atletico Madrid three days later. The meeting with the fans ended perfectly.

Although this is not a big-name player landing in a wealthy club, the press conference organized by Atletico Madrid for Lei Yi still attracted many local media reporters in Madrid.This is the first time they have seen the short-legged Garrincha, who had many outstanding performances in the Europa League last season, on the spot.

Ray Wing showed the Madrid media his new jersey, Atlético de Madrid's number 99 jersey with Garrincha on it.

This is the first time that Lei Yi communicated with media reporters with the help of an interpreter.At the request of the club, he did not say the special bonus clause in the contract, he just said that he hopes to help Atletico Madrid get more victories.

When a media reporter asked him whether coming to Spain and playing in Madrid in Spain would make him feel uncomfortable, Lei Yi said: "There will be some. After all, Porto is not such a big city. , but the urban area of ​​Madrid is very large, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Because I am more like a wild child, I like to run all over the mountains and plains. When I came to Porto from Brazil, I lost the fun of teasing the sheep. Madrid, I think I may need to spend more time to find a place for me to run around. But it's okay, I already have friends in Atletico Madrid. Enzo is a very good person, although Javier looks cold Yeah, I didn't have a good impression of him when I first met him, but then I found out that he's also a nice guy, and we were together last summer..."

Once he opened his mouth, Lei Yi felt that it would not be difficult to continue talking like this, but when he talked about Javier, everyone on the scene fell silent.It was only then that the long and short legs realized...he had said the wrong thing again.

Although the final transfer has not yet been completed, who in Spain does not know that Javier will leave Atletico Madrid this summer?

Realizing this, Lei Yi's eyes darkened, and he said embarrassingly: "Hold, I'm sorry... I said the wrong thing..."

Despite some unexpected episodes, the day's itinerary arranged by Atletico Madrid for Lei Yi was probably smooth.This is the first time Lei Yi participated in a fan meeting prepared for him by a certain club, and the first time he had such an experience was in such a large and luxurious professional stadium.

For some reason, it always reminded him of those times with Garrincha.

In Brazil at that time, although people were crazy about football, their stadiums were always terrible and too simple.At that time, people were standing to watch the game, no one had a fixed seat, and they had to part the crowd with a drink in hand to find their friends.It is precisely because of this overly chaotic watching environment that women rarely come to the stadium to watch the game.

But at that time, in that kind of crude stadium, fans can have the closest contact with their favorite football stars, and sometimes... fans can even run down from the audience during the intermission Shake hands with his favorite players.

At that time ... the stadium is always full.

And now, Lei Yi's stadium is so huge that it doesn't even cost money to come here to attend his fan meeting today, but until now, there may only be thousands of people here.That makes Atletico Madrid's home stadium, La Penneta Stadium, look a little empty and pathetic.

But it is the La Pennetta Stadium that makes Lei Yi can't help but recall the Turin Derby he saw in Communale, Turin's home court, a month ago.

Communale is about the same size as Atletico Madrid's La Penneta Stadium, but of course the Communale in the Turin Derby is completely different from the current La Pennetta Stadium. More than 7 fans in the audience will because The man with the yellow skin and black eyes fell into madness with a simple action, and they would hold a special "ceremony" for the free kick taken by the man.

At that time, all the fans who went to Communale formed a huge vortex.Moreover, Lei Yi could see the center of that huge vortex with the naked eye.

He wants to be that player.

I want to be a player who can touch the hearts of tens of thousands of people on the court at any time.

He hopes to have such a home court in the not-too-distant future, so that he will always feel at ease as if he is at his own home when playing in this stadium, with joy and always full of expectations.

After the fan meeting, which was not good enough but novel enough, Lei Yi received a communication request from Enzo.His future club teammate and captain told him that he was back in Madrid and that if Lei Yi wanted to, he could take the newly transferred kid for a ride.

In this regard, the long and short legs that are already bored will of course agree and nod happily! !

Just like that, an hour later, the blond man riding a heavy motorcycle appeared at the door of Lei Yi's house.

When seeing Enzo's vehicle and attire, the long and short legs were stunned!

This is... It is nothing like the Enzo he remembered!

But this really... suits him so well! !Damn fit! !

Just crazy handsome! ! !

Seeing the stunned long and short legs, Enzo took off his helmet and asked him what was wrong with a smile.

Lei Yi: "I, I, I... I thought that a person like you should be very gentle and drive a certain private luxury car that I don't know... Always dress very classically... Always take care of your hair Well done..."

Seeing that Lei Yi was still stammering in Portuguese with a Brazilian accent about the scene he imagined when Enzo appeared, a gentle smile appeared on Enzo's face, and he threw the other helmet Gave it to Thunder Wing.

"Put on a helmet, I don't want to be pulled over by the police for violating traffic rules before the season starts. We'll definitely be in the paper tomorrow."

After speaking, Enzo stepped onto his motorcycle, let Lei Yi sit behind him, and grabbed Lei Yi's hand and put it on his waist.

Enzo: "Remember to hold on to me later, you know?"

Lei Yi: "Do you drive the motorcycle very fast?"

Enzo: "Sometimes."

After saying that, Enzo blinked at Lei Yi, then pulled off the windshield on the helmet, stepped on the motor suddenly, and held the accelerator with his hand.This heavy motorcycle rushed forward like this, which made Lei Yi, who was not even mentally prepared, let out an exclamation, and then... the exclamation was filled with a hint of eagerness and surprise , the long and short legs tightly hugged the motorcycle rider who looked very gentlemanly, and then let out bursts of excited cries on the streets of Madrid.

dude!This is really true!go for a ride! !

Enzo took Lei Yi to wander around the more distinctive places in downtown Madrid, and came to the large lawn next to the Prado Museum when the sky was getting dark.

A lot of people seem to like it here, young people come here with beer and soft drinks to play and frolic on the large sloping lawn.On the top of the sloping lawn, there is a church full of classical meaning.And around here, there is a large piece of classical buildings with a sense of palace.

You can tell from Lei Yi's little expression that he likes this place very much.

Just when Lei Yi was looking around happily, Enzo took out a well-placed drink from under the seat of his motorcycle.

"I remember you don't drink?" Enzo asked.And Lei Yi also gave an affirmative answer as he expected.

Enzo continued to ask: "Is it okay to have only a little alcohol content?"

The long and short legs nodded again.So Enzo took out two bottles of fruit-flavored sparkling water: "Blackcurrant or pineapple, which one do you want?"

Long and short legs: "Can I have both bottles of Enzo?"

This is Spain in the summer and it gets dark very late here.It won't be completely dark until about nine o'clock in the evening, or even later.Moreover, it will be a very romantic thing to enjoy the nightfall here.It may be because the latitude here is different from that in China, the sky here is as blue as in the paintings of Van Gogh.

That deep blue... makes one want to stop as he descends, find a moment to watch it slowly change over time.

In fact, this is what Lei Yi and Enzo are doing now.They lay on the big lawn next to the Prado Museum, quietly looking at the sky.

"Leiy, when you come to a club, you have to understand that no matter how long you play here in the end, you should have feelings for it. In this way, you will not let down those fans in every game. Everything that's been done for you in the game."

After taking a sip of the drink with a little alcohol content, Enzo propped up his upper body and said these words to Lei Yi.He seems to be able to see everything, and he seems to be able to understand that Lei Yi has no feelings for the team he currently belongs to.Not to mention taking it as your own.

"Feelings for the club?"

"Yes, feelings for the club." Enzo lowered his head, looked at Lei Yi who was still lying on his back, and then continued: "Whether this team wins or loses, whether it is the number one in the league standings or the tragic loss Relegation will never leave this team. This is how the fans feel about the club."

"Actually, fans are more loyal than players." Maybe it's because the night is so beautiful, or maybe it's because the unreal laughter in the distance can always remind people a lot, Enzo said to the little guy he called Lei Yi Said the following words: "Although a large part of die-hard fans spend a lot of money every week to watch football, and there are more fans who pay an extra TV fee every year to watch our high-definition broadcast of games, but They never put themselves in the position of God. On the contrary, they lowered themselves into the dust. The players they liked left, and the players who were completely unfamiliar came again. For these, they have no right to object. If we say, we What the players can do is to create as much as they can. Then what the fans can do, except cheering and shouting, buying tickets to watch the game, the rest is only passive acceptance.”

"How much they like a player, then how uncomfortable they will be when that player leaves. Sometimes I even imagine how many fans will look at me if I leave one day Watching my back when I left."

As he spoke, Enzo took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and seemed to be imagining something...
