shadow striker

2030, October.

On the highway from Turin to Savona, a port city in northwest Italy, a jeep is driving at high speed.At the back of the jeep, where items are placed open like a truck, there is a large glass water tank, in which a seal is looking curiously at the scenery on both sides.

When the jeep drove into downtown Savona, a huge poster came into view.

That is the photo of Yue Yihuang, the NO.11 player of the Torino team, playing with many seals, dolphins and penguins. On that poster it is written: [Please refuse to kill these cute and kind animals]

The jeep with one of the seals ended up on a deserted beach.This is not a sandy beach, but just a beach with many rocks. Perhaps because of this, only those who want to enjoy the sea breeze will come here.But the sparse population here is what seal owners like.

A tall Italian man stepped out of the cab of the jeep, jumped onto the platform where the water tank was placed, hugged the well-behaved seal out of the bathtub, and handed it to the black-haired and yellow-skinned man standing below. youth.

Just like that, the little seal, who hadn't come to play on the beach for several weeks, rolled happily on the ground, and then ran to the sea it loved, jumping and jumping, and just like this, it jumped out of the waves.

So one of the seal's owners also took off his jacket and trousers, and ran to the sea wearing only a pair of swimming trunks and sandals.

That person was Yue Yihuang.

Four years have passed, and time doesn't seem to have left too many marks on him, but the childishness that made many people laugh at him for looking younger than Christian has dissipated a lot.Maybe it's because of the responsibilities on his shoulders that make him look more mature.

Of course, he doesn't look as thin now as he did in the year he became famous.But it's just a little bit thicker, but it makes female fans think he looks sexier.

Francisco took out a can of beer from the refrigerator in the car, opened the tab and drank it slowly, and even looked at his lover with appreciation.But when he saw his lover holding the seal they raised and let the little guy lead him to swim farther, Prince Turin frowned again.

Yes, the growth of this seal makes him a little confused...

Although this is the smallest and lightest of all seals, its normal weight should be between 70 and 148 kilograms.However, the little guy they raised eats a lot of fish every day but only weighs 55 kilograms.The veterinarian said that this is probably because the little seal grew up in a warmer place and did not store too much fat in its body.And the veterinarian told them not to worry, the little guy is very healthy.

But it doesn't matter, what makes Francisco the most confused is why this stupid seal didn't turn ugly...

Before that, he had been expecting that this seal would soon become as ugly as the photos he found on the Internet... But Toure told Francisco that the black and white ones were actually male Ring seals, and their family's... is a little princess.

So... Where is that ugly look that he was looking forward to so much! ! !

This seal that likes to stick to his shadow front very, very much looks like it only has a layer of fluff less than when it was picked up just now, and there are some inconspicuous circles on the neck and flippers, which are whiter than most of the skin Circle only! ! !

Seeing that the Phantom Child was about to be taken to a further place by his own baby seal, Francisco put down the beer can in his hand, took off his jacket and trousers, and walked towards the area in front of him wearing only swimming trunks. the sea.

Although the little seal was always jumping and jumping when it was on land, and its speed was not fast, and it even looked a little clumsy, but once it returned to the sea, it showed a terrifying look to its owner. skill.

Yue Yihuang hugged the little seal's neck, and leaned on its back, and was led by the little seal to swim towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.That feeling is really much more exciting than motorboats and the like.

It wasn't until Yue Yihuang, who took a deep breath and dived with the little seal, gestured upwards in front of the little guy, that the clever little guy floated up towards the sea level in one breath.However, the speed at which it floated was taking care of its owner, and it didn't swim up at a speed that might make people feel uncomfortable because the pressure changed too quickly.It chose a gentler way, which it learned during the four years with Yue Yihuang.

When Yue Yihuang surfaced, he saw his lover swimming towards where he was.The strong back and powerful arms are particularly charming in the waves.Yue Yihuang patted the little guy lightly, and pointed to the direction where Francisco was.So the little guy will soon take Yue Yihuang to swim to the Prince of Turin contentedly.

When Francisco touched his shadow front, the shadow front finally let go of the cute little guy, and the two dived into the sea together like this, and then looked at each other in the sea.Francisco smiled, then supported Yue Yihuang's cheek with both hands, and pressed his lips to Yingfeng's.And the seal was swimming around the two of them, making a funny and cute cry underwater.

Not long after, the two resurfaced together, and Yingfeng was still sticking out his tongue, and kept saying, "It's so salty!!"

That made Francisco let out a low laugh.

This is Italy at the beginning of April. The temperature of the sea water is still a bit cold at this time, and it is not very suitable for swimming, but these two people have extremely strong bodies, and after the water elf came to them, they tried several times. winter swimming.It's just that this kind of water temperature is still acceptable to them.

On the edge of the beach in the distance, the satellite TV in the jeep is still continuously emitting the voices of the male and female anchors of the TV station...

"In the quarter-finals of the current European Champions Cup that ended yesterday, the Torino team from Serie A defeated Arsenal and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup. Presumably everyone still remembers the owner of the Turin team four years ago The bet with Bwin. I want to say that it has been four years, and this is the closest position the Turin team has reached to cashing out the bet. According to information, on the official website of Bwin, people who participated in this bet It is constantly increasing. And Bwin even opened many bets related to the betting agreement that year. For example, whether this bet can get a result this season.”

"Yes, then in two weeks' time, this Serie A team, reborn and once again active in the eyes of fans all over the world, will meet last season's La Liga champions in the quarter-finals , Real Madrid. We all know that the current Real Madrid team is extremely strong, the fourth-generation Galacticos lineup that Real Madrid fans are proud of, but the Turin team is also star-studded.

Among the various Serie A Oscars awarded just two months ago, Turin coach Delo won the best coach of this year's Serie A.Yue of the Turin team was selected as the best foreign player in Serie A this year.Moreover, this has been the honor for him to win the best foreign aid in Serie A for three consecutive years.The captain of the Turin team, Francisco, has won the honor of the best player in Serie A and the best local player in Serie A for two consecutive years.Not only that, Turin's defensive midfielder Tiar, defender Innedi, and Paraguayan full-back Lucena, who won the best rookie in Serie A two years ago, have also become extremely popular players in recent years.Dricaro's statement to retire in Turin after finishing the season after the European champion was defeated in the quarter-finals also made this year's Turin more attention. "

"Maybe it's too early to say this, but it's more worth noting that although Francisco's goals are slightly inferior to Igles, who is currently playing for Barcelona, ​​​​he is not in the competition for the European Golden Boot this season. He has too many advantages, but with the Torino team all the way through the Champions League, I believe the Italian striker will become a strong contender for this year's European Ballon d'Or."

In the blink of an eye, four years have passed.

Maybe just like what Igles said to Yue Yihuang in New Zealand four years ago, when Yue Yihuang now looks back at what he did at that time, those things will seem very small.

Sometimes Yue Yihuang would dig out the game videos from a few years ago, watch them very seriously, and while watching, complain to his lover sitting next to him why he couldn't handle the ball well at that time.

At that time, Francisco will say, "Wait five years and look back at your current game, and you will feel your blood boil."

In the past four years, the relationship between the two has been stable, and their careers have gradually climbed.

With everyone's continuous efforts, Turin has gradually become a team that will attract more fans' attention.

But those are not enough, far from enough.

Just one or two seasons of success doesn't make them the eye-catchers of Europe's top ten clubs.

Just like Leverkusen in 02 and Porto in 04, even such great success in the European Champions Cup was quickly forgotten by the fans.

It will take more than one generation of players to become a real giants team that fans can't help but pay attention to, no matter whether it is floating or sinking.

As night fell, the pair finally returned to their home in Turin after a two-hour drive with their pup.They chose to take a shower together in the same bathroom, and then went to the oversized bathtub to take a comfortable hot bath together.

Feeling tired, Yingfeng was lying on his lover's body, and when he raised his head to look at each other, he propped up his body and kissed Francisco.After a kiss, both of them felt unsatisfied and hugged each other again, kissing deeply again.

"If...if we make it to the finals this year..."

"I'll help you to ask Karl for what he should return to you, all your wages and jersey share over the past four years."

Francisco's words made Yue Yihuang helplessly laugh.Until Francisco said again, "and the inflation in the past four years must be added", Yue Yihuang couldn't restrain himself from laughing loudly.

After a long time, Yue Yihuang said again: "Sometimes I think, we can still play for a few more years."

"As long as you don't retire for a day, I will not retire." Francisco said this answer almost without thinking.

"Then... what if you retire?"

"Then I'll give you my captain's armband, but before that, I'll write my name on the inside of the armband."

This year, the Phantom Son is 26 years old and the Prince of Turin is 28 years old.

Those were the most exciting, golden years of a player's career.
