shadow striker

On the afternoon of May 5th, the blond young man who had been asleep for a long time in the ward finally woke up.He seemed to have been in a coma for a long, long time, and he seemed to have had a lot of dreams that made his head dizzy, but when he woke up, he suddenly fell into a blank memory.

"woke up?"

Hearing the Swiss man's voice, and seeing him walk to his bedside to pour himself a glass of water, Carl felt as if his consciousness had just come back from the cage at this moment.He took the glass of warm water Lancer poured for him, took a sip slowly and said:

"I remember... Adams Vaughn detonating the bomb..."

"Yes. And then you were stunned by the blast from the bomb."

Hearing these words, Carl slowly recalled what happened before he lost consciousness.

Fifteen years later, he met Adams Vaughan again.What surprised him was that although the man's appearance had changed a lot, he was able to recall the scene 15 years ago when he saw him for the first time.

It was at the New York Board of Trade, and the man was like an easy-to-impress upper class guy.His temperament gave people a faint sense of danger, and his eyes... looked like some kind of poisonous animal, his complexion was fair, and his half-length black hair was well-groomed.It wasn't until many years later that Carl knew that Adams Vaughan had been driven to a dead end by him at that time, and he stayed there until this moment just to witness the appearance of the man who ruined everything for him.

At this moment, 15 years of hiding in Tibet have left traces of time on his face.Time seems to be a carving knife, and it has carved many marks on that face, but he is still so charming, and the sense of danger that those eyes can bring to people... is even stronger than that at that time deep.

"I should have thought, you have always been a man of courage."

Even after being caught, Adams Vaughan was still talking and laughing like usual.

"Four years ago, you tampered with the engine of AZ1413?"

Adams gave a weird smile.

"Just because I beat you in the futures market 15 years ago...?"

This time, Adams looked at Carl with those extremely dangerous eyes and said, "Little brat, you should know that you won more than me. Because of you, I was hunted down by the organization that hired me for 15 years. Because of you , My dream since I was a child has been shattered in such a simple way! I always thought that I would be able to become the king of the financial world. But now! For 15 years, I have only escaped and you in my life!"

Such a proud and conceited person will not allow himself to lose to anyone.

But Carl, who was only 17 years old, won him. It was destined that Adams Vaughn would never forget the blond boy.

For 15 years, he has been paying attention to the blond boy back then. He studied the boy's family and everything the boy did. He tried to understand Carl's way of thinking, and hoped that one day he would be able to defeat this lethal boy. He lost everyone.Then, let him become like himself.

That kind of emotion is very strong, but it is much more complicated than simple hatred.

Time seemed to turn around at this moment, and the two of them seemed to have returned to 15 years ago, as if they were standing in the magnificent New York Futures Exchange at this moment, and there was no shadow left by the magic of so much time on their bodies.

"Tell me what you're going to do with me? Are you going to shoot me in the head here, or... like in a soapy comedy, hand me over to the police?"

"I have an appointment with your former club. If I catch you with their help, I will hand you over to them."

Yes, that's what he answered Adams Vaughn.But what happened after that...?

Carl suddenly remembered that when he just woke up, the Swiss next to him said to him: [Yes.Then you are stunned by the air current caused by the bomb]

A series of pictures flashed quickly before Karl's eyes.Adams Vaughn smiled wildly and said that he would never be a prisoner in his life, so at least this time, he couldn't do it.Then...he detonated the explosives on his body.When Lancer saw the man press the detonator, he hugged him, and also protected his head and threw himself into the distance.

"I remember, when the bomb exploded, you protected me? But you seem to have been awake for a long time?"

"Perhaps you should remember that I had special training. I passed out for about 20 seconds and then woke up. Now, all danger is removed."

After saying this, Lancer saw that Carl was still not fully awake, so he simply unfolded the twisted hot towel and wiped Carl's face.Feeling the hot and humid touch, Carl immediately came back to his senses and took the hot towel from Lancer.

Carl: "How long have I been asleep?"

Lancer: "It's been a long time, almost two days. The doctor said that you haven't had enough sleep for a long time, so this time you will sleep for a long time."

Carl: "Is it May 5th?"

Lancer: "That's right."

Carl looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, which made him unconsciously narrow his eyes slightly, and the tension and worries of the past few months seemed to be dispelled at this moment.

"Lancer, please prepare a suit for me. I'm going to the Frankfurt Forest Stadium. Now."

…………

Although the Chinese have a very wide distribution all over the world.However, in non-English-speaking European countries, there are still not many Chinese here.Therefore, the German Visa Center in China has received many short-distance visas with a stay period of less than one week in the past two months. When asked why they went to Germany, they were all going to Frankfurt to watch the UEFA Champions League final.

A large number of Chinese fans flocked to Frankfurt, but many of them did not grab tickets for this game at all.

Due to the extreme tightness of the game and the Frankfurt Forest Stadium can only accommodate [-] spectators, many people who paid for the tickets in advance were refunded by the ticket sales website after the tickets were officially issued.

But they all plan to go, and they have bought round-trip air tickets. The temporary lack of tickets may not be the reason for them to cancel the trip.

As a result, many Chinese who didn't get tickets made an appointment online to watch the game in a bar.

This city has become a sea of ​​fans.

At this time, the game has not yet started, but many TV stations around the world are already in place, and even... broadcast the game clips they made for the European Champions Cup finals.

Perhaps, in the past, only those sports TV stations in Europe would be particularly serious about producing independent clips for each important event. Most domestic TV stations in China would only use only the entire year's events due to insufficient funds. A flower.But this time it was by no means the case.

This is the five-star sports channel.As the UEFA Champions League logo slides from the left to the right of the TV screen, the color picture suddenly becomes black and white, and then... that is the picture of the Torino game before the Superga air crash.

Passionate goals scored again and again, amazing interceptions time and time again, the fans shouted the name of Turin, and then the picture turned back to color, wearing a pomegranate red jersey... unexpectedly became the current Turin team spirit team.No, it should be said that it was Turin four years ago. They collided with the Red and Blue Army, which aroused countless memories and endless expectations.In the end, this Serie A team that has finally reached the Champions League finals and Barcelona under Castilla's wonderful scoring this season appeared...

"Friends from the audience, this is the Five-Star Sports Channel! In 15 minutes, the final of the European Champions Cup will begin! Rong Naida and Di Lei will be presenting the commentary in the live studio!"

Before the start of the game, the TV station has launched a voting activity on the Internet, allowing fans and friends to choose their two favorite host partners to go to Frankfurt, Germany, to explain the game live.Then, the fans actually selected two commentators who were now cross-stage, two commentators who had partnered together to commentate the game, and had the same enthusiastic commentary style.

So, amidst the voices of the fans, Rong Naida and Di Lei sat in the same commentary room again, watching the pictures given by the broadcast TV station, and paying attention to the atmosphere of the scene.

This is of course a very special game.

The Turin team, which was almost watched by the domestic fans, finally made it to the finals of the top European competitions.

Many will remember the Turin derby seven years ago.

At that time, the Turin Derby finally returned to Serie A after many years.

All the year round, fans of Turin City only know that Juventus, the old strong team of the top three in the north of Serie A, saw an Asian face in the newly promoted team.

At that glance, it seemed that he remembered that young face in his heart.From now on, it will be hard to forget.

Turin, who had just been promoted from Serie B to Serie A, was unexpectedly joined by Francisco, the Premier League Golden Boot at the time.That year, they won the Italian Cup.Since then, this team with garnet red jerseys and a declining aristocratic temperament has been equated with the creation of miracles.

In their first year, they won the Italian Cup.

The following year, they won the Europa League.

In the third year, they broke out of the death group of the European Champions Cup...

I don't know when, too many shining names have been associated with this fallen noble in Serie A.I don't know who made who.

The high-pitched singing sounded at the Forest Stadium in Frankfurt. It was the short opening ceremony of the Champions League final. Nearly a hundred cast members in costumes formed a beautiful dance formation on the football field when viewed from a high altitude.The atmosphere created by the scene made the fans present already excited before the game started.

UEFA originally wanted to invite Italian singer Andrea Bocelli to come to the scene to sing the opening song for fans all over the world.However, the 72-year-old singer politely rejected UEFA's invitation and stated that he would go to the scene, but he would not stand on the stage of the performance.

So a younger singer with a more inspiring voice stood there, injecting exciting power into this well-prepared opening ceremony.

The two teams participating in this game have already come out of the locker room. Yue Yihuang was very surprised to find that Antis was not in Barcelona's starting 11-man lineup.He saw Tarion waving at him, and Igles just smiling at him.

"I……"

Seeing his fellow youth training camp partners in the same class as him, Yue Yihuang stepped forward, but he didn't know what to say to them in this situation.On the contrary, Igles said the first half of the headline in the Sun newspaper with great ease.

Igles: "Yihuang, this time..."

Yue Yihuang: "I will be your opponent again."

The two said this sentence as if they were giving a secret signal, then clapped hands and hugged each other even more.Igles, who hadn't seen Yue Yihuang for a while, even gave Yingfeng a cheek-to-cheek gift.Maybe they've found a way...to get along better when they meet on the field.

A young Barcelona player who was still talking to someone around him saw the scene here, walked over quickly, and extended his hand to Yingfeng.

"Hi, I'm Rico."

This is the young shooter who scored second only to Igles in the Barcelona team this season.After Yue Yihuang shook hands with him very friendly, the young Barcelona player said to Yue Yihuang:

"I am also a Barcelona player who came from the Barcelona youth academy. But I am four grades younger than you, so you may not have an impression of me. I played half a season in the Barcelona B team after graduating from the youth academy, and then I went to League One. But now, I have returned to Barcelona. You have been my spiritual sustenance for a long time. Today, I am a member of the Barcelona striker trident. I am very good, you must be careful of me!"

Seeing the 22-year-old player talking to himself like this, Yue Yihuang could not help imitating his words amusedly and said: "My name is Yue Yihuang, and I am serving as a striker today. I won't be burdened with a lot of defensive tasks, but I will remember to remind My teammates, tell them to watch out for you."

The UEFA Champions League theme song coming from outside the stadium has come to an end. Yue Yihuang, who returned to the Turin team with his shoulders hooked by Francisco, took the hand of the little ball boy beside him, and followed the man with the captain's armband on his arm Behind you, walk into the much-anticipated... Frankfurt Forest Stadium.

When they walked into the stadium, it was the excited screams and roars of more than 8 spectators.

The sun shone on Yingfeng's face, he raised his head and showed a charming smile, looking so calm.

And in the stands, his father and mother looked at him with such gratified and excited expressions.

Of course, there will be his friends there, Christian, who plays for Serie A Roma, with his sister and father.In the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 has already won his place in the national team teammate Chen Shen, Werder Bremen's group of crazy knives, and the dean and director of the Serie A nursing home Florence who robbed them in the league. associate dean.

Of course, there will be many people sitting in the stands today.

When Yue Yihuang looked at the auditorium near the player tunnel, he would find that Karl, who gave the current Turin team the initial vitality and took good care of them, was sitting there.

Many people and things just surfaced in front of my eyes, with tears in my eyes.

On this day, Turin finally stood here.

The top of Europe may already be looking forward to the coronation of the new king.
