exactly

After eating and clearing away the dishes, the two of them drove to a nearby supermarket to buy a case of beer and a lot of snacks, took them home, drank beer and chatted, and waited for the game to start.

As a diehard fan who has followed the Red Army for many years, the World Cup debut that occurs once every four years, the closer the opening, the faster the heartbeat. Chang Qin, who had survived a hard day in the early hours of the morning, was a little unclear, and Xi Ling who was idle at home Fortunately, living in American time every day, this point is just new to him.

"When I was in England, I didn't dare to openly support Spain. For Europeans, football is more important than life, especially since our country is a world-class team." Xi Ling took a sip of beer and said, "So every time When it came to a competition, a few classmates made an appointment to go to the bar to make a fuss, but I never dared to participate, so I could only secretly hide in the dormitory and watch the live broadcast."

"It's the same with me." Chang Qin smiled, "The people around me either support Brazil or Germany. I asked Xiao Yu to watch the European Cup two years ago. He likes Italy. We almost didn't fight for our respective teams. The sea of ​​people is vast, and it is too difficult to meet someone who agrees with you." After speaking, he gave Xi Ling a meaningful look.

Xi Ling smiled noncommittally: "Did you watch the European Cup two years ago, a match that was enough to make people's hearts tremble."

"Of course!" Chang Qin immediately became interested. He changed into a comfortable sitting position, and recalled the game that year, he still had lingering fears. "The most disastrous thing was the quarter-final against Italy. At that time, I watched it with Xiao Yu. , and another group of friends, during the penalty shootout, everyone at the scene was as white as paper, and I was so nervous that my knuckles were almost broken, but I still had to find energy to argue with Xiao Yu."

Xi Ling took a sip of beer and choked into his airway, coughing until his face flushed.Chang Qin quickly moved to his side and patted his bony back lightly.

Xi Ling waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth: "There was nothing wrong with England in that game, so my roommates didn't care at all. Those who played games played games, and those who read novels read novels. I was alone at the computer. Before, I was frightened by the penalty shootout, and at the most nervous moment, I couldn't shout or jump, and I almost got internal injuries."

Chang Qin was overjoyed, and laughed a few times: "At that time, Villa deceived Buffon with a clever fake move, and scored the first penalty cleanly. My whole body was boiling, and Xiao Yu immediately shot at me. There was a cold light, but Gross followed him and scored a penalty kick, and the stalemate was relieved. But soon Dorothy's penalty kick was saved by Casillas, and Xiao Yu followed Red-eyed."

Xi Ling squeezed the soda can in his hand. For that game, he also felt guilty. Time has passed. No matter how nervous he was at the time, he can still tease without distraction: "Fortunately, Guesa's penalty kick was also saved by Buffon. Well, it can be regarded as appeasing his glassy heart."

"That's right." The more Chang Qin recalled, the more excited he became, and he was no longer drowsy. "It's a pity that the Italian team was only excited for a minute. San Cassie saved a penalty again, and the game entered a fierce stage."

"And the Spanish team finally welcomed Xiaofa." Xi Ling said with a smile.

Chang Qin raised his mouth knowingly: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Xiaofa's European Cup debut was unexpectedly arranged by Aragones to take the last penalty kick. He just calmly tapped his toe and scored a fatal blow." , ruined the opponent's European Cup trip, and then..."

"Then, Xiao Yu started fighting with you." Xi Ling looked at him with a half-smile.

Chang Qin shook his head helplessly: "In the end, there was a lot of chaos. Fortunately, I hid all the lethal weapons such as kitchen knives in advance. After that match, Xiao Yu refused to talk to me for a whole week. I take a detour."

"Hahahahahaha." Xi Ling laughed loudly, "I sympathize with him spiritually. I believe every Spanish fan will feel the pain of seeing his beloved team eliminated."

Chang Qin is naturally deeply touched. In 02, Spain was driven home by black whistle, in 04, they were unable to make it out of the group stage, and in 06, they were defeated by France 1:3. Every team that did not make it to the final was A thorn in the back of fans' midnight dreams. "Fortunately, since the European Cup two years ago, we can finally feel proud. But I also admire Buffon. He is the only player on the court who has played the most European Cups. With him in front of Italy's goal, It’s as reassuring as a welded iron door, but I love St. Cassie more. Overcoming obstacles is like a godsend. When he saved the last penalty, I really wanted to get into the TV and kiss him hard.”

The game came quietly while the two were reminiscing bitterness and sweetness. 11 outrageously expensive players moved to the field under the leadership of the caddy. The spotlights of the audience flashed non-stop, accompanied by deafening cheers , The commentator began to introduce the names of the players from both sides.

Chang Qin felt the long-lost heartbeat again, and his legs couldn't help trembling nervously. He glanced at Xi Ling on the other side of the sofa, and seeing the serious face on the other side, he must not be calm.

Torres, the hero who won the championship two years ago, did not appear in the starting lineup. He was injured a year ago and had a major operation on his leg. It is fortunate that he can recover from his injury before the World Cup.But this accidental injury is enough to make the fans who love him deeply sad.

In the first half, the two sides fought for 45 minutes without any results. Although the Spaniard dominated the game, he was unable to find a way to break the opponent's goal. Obviously frustrated.During the intermission, a tense heart was finally relieved a little, but the score of 0:0 made the two people not in the mood to talk and laugh.

The opening whistle sounded in the second half, and the Spaniard was still looking for opportunities to break through the opponent's goal. The consecutive free kicks and corner kicks at the beginning made Switzerland's goal unprecedentedly lively.Xavi took a corner kick, Puyol grabbed the back point and headed the ball to Butzquets, but unfortunately the opponent had no time to react in the future, Silva received the ball and completed a long shot, and the ball was kicked out of the baseline.

But who would have expected that it was this counterattack that gave the Swiss a chance to score.

In the 52nd minute, the Swiss rushed into the penalty area with the ball. Cassie ran away from the goal and kicked the ball away but made a mistake. The ball bounced between the opponent's legs and bounced back into the penalty area. Fernandez hurried forward to make a supplementary shot and the ball went straight into the penalty area. in the net.

Switzerland scored!

The cheers were deafening, the "Vuvuzela" sounded through the sky, and the Swiss reveled recklessly in the arena. Who would have expected that they could celebrate earlier than the Spaniards.In the previous 10 minutes of the game, the Swiss team, which had only one shot, was able to knock on the opponent's goal in the second attack. This goal shocked fans all over the world!This is the goal of the Spanish team, which ranks first in the world today. Every player is worth more than [-] million. In the accidental goal of the Swiss, the matadors were dumbfounded.

This unexpected reversal caught the two people in front of the TV by surprise. Just now, Xi Ling was pinching the pillow nervously. After the score was rewritten, he angrily threw the pillow aside. Lack of exercise, too much strength caused thigh cramps, the center of gravity was not stable, and I fell a dog gnawing mud on the slippery floor.

Xi Ling: "..."

Xi Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and cleaned up the rubbish on the ground.

"The game is not over yet, you are an old bone, don't cripple yourself first." He lightly rubbed Chang Qin's sore knee, and told him to stay on the sofa and sit down.

Chang Qin was wounded both physically and mentally, laying back on the sofa whining in pain, suddenly felt that life was so difficult, but some people wanted to expose it.

The lead of the Swiss team made the Spaniard unavoidably impatient. In 53 minutes, Ramos passed the ball into the penalty area with his head. In 60 minutes, Harvey made a beautiful cross, but unfortunately the ball was too fast, and Villa tried his best to run and failed to catch up. When the goalkeeper rushed to make a remedy, he was accidentally tackled by the opponent, and Villa fell to the ground in pain.

In the 61st minute, under the pressure of frequent attacks to no avail, Bosque replaced Butzquets with Torres. This decision aroused cheers from the fans in the stadium.Not long after he played, Torres received a transfer from Alonso. When he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he was attacked by two defenders. Torres fell to the ground and lost the ball. In 67 minutes, Villa received a pass from his teammate. After taking advantage of the situation, he raised his head and took a glance. Without even thinking about it, he gave Torres, who was closer to the goal, the opportunity to dribble the ball into the penalty area by himself. , It's a pity that the ball went wide from the upper right corner of the goal after kicking the goal. In the 69th minute, Villa took the ball from the left. Seeing this, Torres followed suit. When Torres ran to the right position, Villa made a straight pass with no one around him, and the ball rolled to the ground. At the foot of Torres, Torres dribbled the ball into the penalty area and chose a small angle to poke the goal. The ball wiped the left post of the goal and missed.

In the 84th minute, Villa did not choose to shoot directly after receiving a header. He jumped and gave the ball to Torres. Torres jumped up but missed the key point. The ball fell to the grass and he fell to the ground. After 5 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the final whistle. The Spaniard lost his World Cup debut in the eyes of everyone. The Swiss became a dark horse and gave a blow to the smug matadors.

The two people in front of the TV were dumbfounded.

At the same time, Chang Qin's cell phone jingled and buzzed, and he didn't need to look to know that it was a message of condolence from his friends.

Among them, Xiao Yu is naturally indispensable: As a brother, I am very sad.Condolences.

Chang Qin: Let's worry about your Italy.

Italy drew with Paraguay in the previous game, and now it seems that the record is much better than Spain.But fortunately, the one who lost was the group stage, and there is still a possibility of saving it later. If it is a decisive knockout match, then there is really no way to recover.

The two comforted themselves in this way, and went back to their houses to sleep.

When resting at home, Xi Ling's biological clock is very irregular. It is common for Xi Ling to stay up late past three or four o'clock. There is no way to guarantee to go to bed before eleven o'clock on holidays.So the two night owls got together to watch jet-lagged games one after another.

For Chang Qin, the advantage of having one more person in the family is that he no longer needs to see a room full of dirty clothes and dirty socks when he returns home, and there are delicious meals on the table as soon as he enters the door—although they are all ordered for takeaway, On sunny days, someone would dry the quilt for him, and when he got under the quilt at night, he could always smell the soothing sunshine.

Xi Ling seldom goes out for activities at night. His life is relatively monotonous. He spends most of his time at home reading books or watching dramas. He also brought in the Four Treasures of the Study.This made Chang Qin admire him again. In this impetuous society, there are always not many young people who can persist in practicing calligraphy. Xi Ling's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and there is a kind of unquestionable stubbornness in every stroke. , They all said that calligraphy is like a person, Chang Qin flipped through the drafts of his calligraphy practice, and what he couldn't get out of his mind was the image of him arguing hard in court.

"Do you like Yan Jidao?" Chang Qin turned out the rice paper folded by Xi Ling, glanced at it, and asked.

"The teacher likes Yan Jidao, so I practiced a few poems along with it." Xi Ling's mentor is a literati, and he also likes to practice calligraphy. It is because of his influence that Xi Ling developed this habit unconsciously.

"Yan Jidao doesn't follow the crowd, and on the surface he doesn't want to admit that he is sad for the spring and autumn. He just indulges in the feasting and feasting, and plays with the singing girls to his heart's content. However, when you read his poems carefully, you can always taste the deep sadness hidden between the lines. " Xi Ling held the brush in his hand, stood upright, and copied the copybook stroke by stroke.

Chang Qin took out one of them and recited softly: "Twisting the fragrant paper in my hand to remember Xiaolian. I want to pass on the grudge to someone. After returning home, I lie alone on a happy night, and I meet drunk in my dream. Flowers fall easily, but the moon is difficult to round. Only flowers The moon is like a happy fate. Qin Zheng is in the mood, try to write from the sound to the old string."

"This was written by Yan Jidao in memory of a singer named Xiaolian." Xi Ling explained, "The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in human beings: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, parting from love, five Yins, and not getting what you want. People are always like this, they take it for granted when they get it at hand, and regret it when they lose it, so Yan Jidao wrote this sentence, "try to write from the sound to the old strings", expressing love through poems, appealing for the suffering that cannot be achieved."

Chang Qin looked at him sideways, it was evening, the sun was half-set on the hill, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the house, Xi Ling in front of the window leaned down slightly, his lips were tightly pressed, his expression was indifferent, the golden line against the light outlined his sharp outline His side face looks like Endymion, the most handsome young man in Greek mythology. Because he is deeply loved by the moon goddess Selene, the light of the whole world is focused on him, and his beauty is breathtaking.

Chang Qin was dazed for a moment, suddenly felt that all this was close in front of his eyes, but seemed far away in the sky.Yan Jidao suffers from not being able to get what he wants, so what about me?he asked himself.

The people in Qingshan are not old, and the scenery here is unique, and the thoughts that I have known for a long time, came to my mind at this moment.

"I like him," he thought, looking deeply at Xi Ling's side face.
