shadow striker

Yue Yihuang was really amused by Francisco's gnashing of teeth when he mentioned Carl, and of course he did laugh out loud.

Yue Yihuang: "It seems that maybe I have to be very happy? You always think that I am in danger of being snatched away, not that there is no one but you...no one thinks that I am like you very good?"

Francisco: "Of course I will need to be careful all the time! Always be on the lookout for those who may have ulterior motives!"

The exaggerated tone of Francisco's words made Yue Yihuang laugh so hard that he almost curled up on the wheelchair and even covered his face with one hand, as if he didn't know what to do with the current Francisco up.

"Okay, then you just keep... being careful like you are now."

Yue Yihuang tried very hard to say this sentence more calmly, but he still couldn't laugh after trying several times.After the laughter gradually calmed down, Yingfeng tried to say again: "It sounds like you will have to live without salary for a while? So, when the time comes, I will also go to the bank to apply for a supplementary card and give it to you." time?"

Obviously, Yue Yihuang was referring to four and a half years ago.At that time Karl was in serious financial trouble because of a conspiracy.At that time, Karl seemed to have only one option to sell Turin.But Karl used all his physical assets as a bet to bet against the largest gaming company in Europe.

At that time, Yue Yihuang became the No. 1 football player in European football in order to show his position and heart, and help the Turin team to tide over the difficulties together.

As for his decision, his lover just told him that as long as he had it, Yingfeng could use it all, and even handed over the secondary card of his bank account to Yingfeng.

Yue Yihuang's words obviously reminded Francisco of four years ago. There was a sweetness in his heart, but he still pretended to be very indifferent and said: "Oh, it's only a few months. That's all, it doesn't make me a pauper."

So the Phantom Son also said half jokingly and half seriously: "Oh, please, accept it, I will do it when I return to Turin this week. You can't just let me be a man with a boyfriend's secondary card .”

After saying this in that tone, Francesco almost burst into laughter with his lover.If it wasn't for the large supermarket where people are coming and going, he really wanted to rub his baby's hair, not the black hat, nor the wig that Yingfeng wore.

But obviously, he can't do any of these.So Francisco leaned down and gave his lover a kiss.It was in the supermarket where people walked past them from time to time.

At that moment, Yingfeng, who had always been more conservative than Prince Turin, did not refuse.

Although that kiss only landed on Yue Yihuang's eyelashes, at this moment, such a kiss was more touching and sweeter than a deep kiss of lips to lips.

"Say, how about I push you and try running?" After that bold, public kiss, Francisco said this sentence.

"Well... I think you'd better not do such a thing in the supermarket." Yue Yihuang turned to look at Francisco.He looked very serious, but there was eagerness in Francisco's eyes.That made Yingfeng extremely vigilant.

"Well, I agree with you."

After a while, Francisco finally bowed his head as if in compromise and said such a sentence.But after Yue Yihuang obviously breathed a sigh of relief, Francisco pushed the wheelchair and rushed all the way to the wine area where no one was there.

Yue Yihuang: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!!! Don't do this!!! Stop it!!!"

Time just passed by without stopping.Maybe Yue Yihuang doesn't know how much his lover Francisco, the mighty Turin prince who seems to never fall down, looks forward to his arrival.Although most of the time, Yue Yihuang can only take one day a week to see him in this busy season.However, one night and one morning's short time with each other is enough for Francisco to spend the next six days in the boring rehabilitation training that seems to be able to wear out one's will.

His strong calf seemed no longer his own after this fracture.And all he had to do was to conquer himself and make that injured calf his own again.

He didn't want Yue Yihuang to know how he insisted on exceeding the rehabilitation training.

But he is so longing, longing that every time his lover visits him, he can find that he is one step closer to returning to the court.

Maybe he will never tell his lover, every time he sends Shadow Front to the airport, the words that Phantom Son will say to him when he leaves: "You will be fine" will be in the next long time became his belief.

He used to think that he was already very powerful.He is so strong that no one and nothing can knock him down.

But he didn't understand until then.What real strength should be like.

In March, Torino, the champion team of the last UEFA Champions League, came to the fore from the round of [-] knockout rounds of this year's UEFA Champions League.And Francisco's recovery is even more gratifying to everyone.The attending physician in charge of follow-up treatment for Francisco actually complained that these terrible athletes were always refreshing his understanding of the limits of the human body over and over again.And it was precisely because of the existence of this group of people that he couldn't help but wonder how his textbooks passed the review when he was studying.

Such a shot in the arm has led to outside speculation that Francisco is likely to return to Turin before the end of the season, return to the home of the Turin team, Communale, and put on the garnet red jersey again. , standing in Torino's starting 11-man squad.

However, there are always so many sudden occurrences in football, just like Francisco's sudden injury, and every transfer transaction during the summer transfer period.

On April 4, the Turin team unfortunately encountered the Bundesliga Bayern Munich prematurely in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.And in the first round of the away game, they lost to this Bundesliga tank 3:4.

Try to imagine the sensational headlines in the sports media across Europe covering Torino's Champions League quarter-final first-leg defeat.

The lonely back of the Phantom Son with the captain's armband on his shoulders leaving the stadium was captured by countless cameras, and many media published this photo on their front page headlines.

The German media directly gave such a headline: "Turin, king?No! "

"Football has always been a cruel sport. It is very likely that the last major champion will not even get a ticket to the second round of 32. Maybe this matter is not a foregone conclusion, but I have to say that the last The Champions League champions are likely to go straight out in the quarter-finals."

Whenever you turn on the TV, there's a good chance you've seen a sports anchor say something like this.

Obviously, the whole of Europe is talking about Torino's defeat.

But what is the situation in Turin?

Many people found it hard to believe until the second day after the game that their king Turin actually lost to the opponent by three goals in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals!They felt even more...it was like a collective hallucination.

Someone had created the illusion of covering the whole of Europe, and used a fake game to convince them that the all-conquering team they supported would suffer such an early defeat.Use a fake game to make them realize that their king Turin can also be defeated.Their king in Turin is more likely to harvest a perfect season... a Champions League that stopped the semi-finals for the first time in three years.

In such a moment of confusion, people call out to the Prince of Turin.

The die-hard fans of the Torino team gathered outside the Torino team's training base, and a sit-in demonstration was held outside the Torino team's headquarters building, and they asked Francisco, who had gone down to the stadium a few days ago to resume training, to play in next week's Thursday. The quarter-final battle of life and death.

The fans believe that, until now, only their prince can save Turin.

The king of Turin should not have been eliminated prematurely in the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

So what is the situation inside the Turin team at the moment?

In the battle with Bayern, everyone knew very well before the game that the opponent they encountered in the quarter-finals this time was very strong.He is strong enough to give every opponent who meets them in the knockout round a headache no matter what time period.But they are more confident that they can go further in this year's Champions League.

Although, their captain couldn't be with them, more like he has been leading them for the past seven years.

But the first round against Bayern really stunned them.It was an indescribable feeling of weightlessness, as if they had lost the land they were standing on.They hope that there will be someone who can tell them with affirmative tone that they will be able to defeat that formidable opponent in the end.They can also advance all the way in the knockout stage of this Champions League.

They... might even defend their Champions League title.

Under such circumstances, even Francisco expressed to the team manager and head coach Mr. Boss Booker that if the team needs him.Well, he will come back early.

The news that Francisco is likely to return as the king of Communale in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is here in Turin, among all the fans who support this team. When the time spread, the person who kept the captain's armband for Prince Turin seemed to be the calmest person.

He initiated a video call with the German doctor in charge of Francisco, and even talked with him about Francesco's recovery status.

"Oh, I thought you wouldn't be asking me now. After all, I'm a German, aren't I?"

"But you are also a doctor, and you are responsible for your patients."

"Okay okay, maybe I have to tell you before I start the conversation that I'm a Borussia fan."

When the German translator next to Yue Yihuang translated the words of the German doctor to him, Yingfeng laughed.Then, they started this conversation.And the doctor finally gave this answer:

"Maybe I have to say that you athletes have always refreshed my understanding of the limits of the human body time and time again. Mr. Francisco's willpower is very tenacious, far beyond the average person. Even among athletes, it is the same. I can feel it , There is a belief supporting him. To be honest, Francisco's current recovery speed can be called a miracle. He can run and jump now, and he can even complete shots and a series of very difficult actions. But next week Let him play, I don't agree with that, to be honest."

"You mean, you don't think Francisco is quite recovered yet, do you?"

"Of course." When he said this, the German doctor seemed very sure.He emphasized: "No matter when a bone is broken, it is a serious thing for an athlete. He seems to be recovering well now, and it may even take a short time to fully recover. But it is precisely because of this , you can't be so eager, it will hurt him. If you let him play a very confrontational game now, especially if your opponent is a Bundesliga team this time, it will probably make him grow up, The restored bones are injured again. This will greatly increase the possibility of recurrent injuries. That will become quite troublesome. You should know how these glass men in football are made?"

After finishing the video call, Yue Yihuang locked himself in the room and thought for a long, long time...

To be honest, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals resulted in such a disastrous defeat, and the pressure on Yue Yihuang, who shoulders the role of captain, was unprecedented.Of course, this defeat caused him to suffer a lot of criticism.Especially when he missed a good chance in the penalty area when Torino could have taken the lead directly after the equalizer.That made many people blame him for most of the Torino 1:4 Bayern Munich.

And now, he should make a decision.

No matter how loudly the fans shouted, the head coach expected a miracle to happen.But when it comes to the day a player recovering from a serious injury returns to the team, perhaps the player's own decision will matter more than anyone else's.

So, should he timidly say to Francisco that he is in favor of returning to the team in the Champions League next week, or try his best to persuade a captain who is eager to help the team through the difficulties to come back later?

Yue Yihuang poured himself a glass of water, and after drinking it quietly, he called Francisco who was about to return from Berlin.

"I've had a video call with your attending physician."

After all, it was his lover and partner who had known each other for many years, Francisco almost guessed what his baby wanted to say to him when Yue Yihuang said this sentence.

"So, you're trying to persuade me not to come back for this game?"

"Yes."

"Honey, you really don't know how to express yourself tactfully."

When Francisco said this, he was smiling.But they all know that at this time Turin has reached an extremely critical node.If they fall here, the blow to Turin will definitely be more serious than they imagined.

"I have to admit, from the day you were injured, I have been hoping that you can come back sooner, more than anyone else. But what I hope is a healthy Prince of Turin. Yes, you You are already 28 years old, but how can you give up your future for this game? No matter when, for what kind of game, it is not worth it."

When Yue Yihuang said this, Francisco stopped packing his luggage, and then he heard Yue Yihuang say to him:

"Please believe that I can lead the team through this difficult situation. Please, please, please believe in me."

At that moment, Francisco felt like his mind went blank.Then he sat down on the rug in his bedroom, and after a moment's silence he said:

"Baby, of course I believe in you. I believe in you more than I believe in myself."

Two days later, the Torino team held a pre-match press conference on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-elimination match.At this press conference, the Torino team announced their 23-man roster for the second round of life and death.However, fans were disappointed and even angry to find that the name they were most eager to see was not included in this list.

Many fans who followed the press conference cried when they got the news.They wept because they thought Torino's last hope of a comeback was gone.They were crying because Torino were going to withdraw from the Champions League early in this way after they had just won the title of champion.

But at this time, they heard the voice of Yue Yihuang, who attended the press conference with the head coach as the captain.

"I know that when everyone sees this big list, many people must be thinking in their hearts, Turin is over this time."

It was a sentence that didn't sound like a player would say in front of the media, and it made the person who said it get crazy camera shutters.

"Any team has its highs and lows, and Torino certainly did. No one wins all the time. On the question of Francisco, I would say, personally, if it's just for one promotion If we lose our captain who would have been healthy, then I would rather end our Champions League season like this."

Yue Yihuang has never said such bold words in front of the camera, and even the head coach Mr. Bosbook, who has always been very relieved and satisfied with him, turned his head to look at him when he said these words .

But the Phantom Son didn't seem to be able to feel the gazes from the outside world at all. He just continued: "Whether it's a climax or a trough, we are doing our best to play every game well. I hope to support our The fans can see this. Whether it is leading or temporarily falling behind, even if it is the last minute before the game, no one can determine the final outcome. We have not given up hope, and please stay with us and support us Fans don't give up hope."

What is more touching than the fanaticism of screaming for a game for a week and being speechless is the silent companionship and support that has lasted for more than ten years.And even when the Turin team sank into the second division, the fans who loved it insisted on their silent companionship and support.But why can this team be criticized just by losing the first round of a knockout match?

Perhaps, the people who love her just hope that she can keep winning all the time, and never stop returning to the altar.

On 4 April, a week after their Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie with Bayern Munich, Torino welcomed the Bundesliga car at her own home ground, Communale.

The fans, who wore garnet red jerseys like the Torino players who played in this life-and-death Euro quarter-final match, arrived as expected.Although they complained endlessly before the start of the game, they used the red or white squares of paper that everyone held in their hands in the huge Communale Stadium, Three huge "ForzaToro!" (Come on Turin) were spelled out for the Torino team in the audience

However, what caught people off guard the most was what Yue Yihuang saw when he led the team into the stadium as the captain. The huge No. 10 jersey of the Torino team was slowly lowered from the south stand where the home fans area is located.

In the past, fans would also drop a huge jersey there, but it was the NO.12 jersey that indicated that the fans were the 12th man on the field.

This time, the fans of the Torino team brought the team a huge No. 10 jersey with Francisco's name on it.

When he saw the huge jersey, Phantom Son couldn't stop the sudden tears from pouring out of his eyes.But just after that, he wiped those tears with his hands and smiled again.

"ForzaToro!" Looking at the huge jersey, Yue Yihuang whispered to himself.

20 days later...

On May 5, Torino's home dressing room at the Communale Stadium.

In 10 minutes, they are about to usher in the semi-finals of this European Champions Cup, against Manchester United in the Premier League.

Round two.

The Phantom Son of the Turin team sat on the seat in the locker room after taking a shower. He carefully tied his knee pads, then put on his socks, and once again put on his Torino team NO.11 jersey.

At this time, the man wearing the No. [-] jersey of the Torino team walked up to him and asked, "Where is my captain's armband?"

The Phantom Son laughed after suddenly realizing it, and then took out the captain's armband that he had kept for nearly four months from his closet.On the back of the captain's armband, Francisco's name is written.

Prince Turin picked up the captain's armband that had been returned to its original owner, and after a glance, he said, "You still missed a name."

As he spoke, Prince Turin took out a signature pen, and skillfully wrote his Chinese name on the inside of the captain's armband in front of Phantom Son, and put the armband on Phantom Son's hand.

"Help me put it on."

At this time, an ultra-high-definition camera is capturing everything that happened in the locker room before the game. It was originally intended to restore a more realistic image of the players in front of the fans.At this moment, narrators all over the world are speculating that this may be a handover ceremony between the Prince of Turin and the Phantom Son.

Fans who watched the game on TV saw the Phantom Son help Francesco put on the captain's armband after showing a smile to the Prince of Turin.

But just as Phantom Son was about to turn around and say something to his other teammates, the captain of the Turin team stopped him by calling his name.

"Yi Huang."

"what?"

When the Phantom Child turned his head, his lover kissed him on the lips in front of the whole world.

End of full text

The author has something to say:

After half a month of tormenting each other with my late master, this song that I deliberately put up at the end of Yingfeng is finally ready:

This song is translated into Chinese, which means "If you don't come back", I put the Chinese lyrics up for everyone to see!

If you don't come back, all the seas will be drained away.

I will wait alone, trapped at the end of my memory.

If you don't come back, my will will burn out,

I'll stay here, with my dog,

Chasing your figure on the other side of the horizon.

If you don't come back, there will only be deserts left in the world,

And I'll listen for the remaining breath of the world.

The world is so still, when you still love me,

I breathe your breath, the world in front of me is so beautiful, huge, endless...

Every night there is a star that comes with the night to accompany me and tell you how I am doing.so you can know how i'm doing

Tell me, my love, my love,

I'm right here, can't you see?

If you don't come back, there is no life.i don't know what i'm going to do

If you don't come back, there is no hope, nothing will exist,

But I'll go on, even without you.I will still have my sorrow, and the cold rain that feeds it.

At the beginning, I always thought that this song was not too difficult, but I didn't expect it to set a record for the longest time I spent recording a song.First of all, I don't know how to speak Spanish. I just conquered the big trill in Latin when I was walking the dog, which is what many people call the flick of the tongue.And this slow song has so many lyrics that it directly drives me crazy.

It took me almost a week to memorize the lyrics, and I became familiar with them while recording.Wait until the lyrics are smooth, and it's difficult for me about the singing and how to sing this song.I try to use my voice to tell those lyrics.When I sang "If you don't come back, all the sea will flow away", I tried my best to express the picture of facing the sea alone.When I sang "I will wait alone, trapped at the end of my memory", I imagined that I was in a corridor with a colorful corridor but I couldn't get out.

But after several days of bumpy recording, I suddenly realized that there are so many words, but each of them is saying "I love you" again.

So, the sentence I read at the beginning is: Francisco, if you don't come back.

So what follows is the real closing speech:

After going out to collect materials from various unscrupulous authors, this long novel of nearly 170 million words was finally written for a total of one year and nine months.Although one year and nine months is already a long time for a text of nearly 170 million words, when I suddenly found out two days ago that I could really finish it with less than tens of thousands of words, I still felt very satisfied. Surprised and disappointed.I thought this was my "Start From Scratch", but it turned out to be just my "Shadow Vanguard".

At the end, I feel that there is a question that I have to talk to everyone about.It seems that I often hear people say that my "Shadow Striker" is similar to a certain animation "Sunspot's Basketball", that it has a sense of sight with "Sunspot", and even think that I am a fan of "Sunspot".Actually, I haven't watched this movie from the beginning to the end, but I still went to check the original release time of this animation, which was April 2012, 4.Fortunately for me, my "Shadow Forward" was published on February 7, 2012.

So, this is just a tragic incident that makes the author feel sad QAQ

Regarding the ending of Yingfeng, can I say that I have already thought about it more than a year ago? ORZ...the ending also has a suspense that I like very much, is it derailed?Or do you think that as long as it happens between players, the kiss is just friendship?

But what makes the author burst into tears is that my next football article starts 7 years after the ending of Yingfeng. When the news hero went to Serie A, Daihuang and Sisko hadn’t hung up their boots yet. Many characters in Shadow Front will enter my new article to play soy sauce, so how will this suspense continue to stay! !

As for the question about the extra episode, maybe anyone who has followed my other articles will know that I don’t really like extra episodes that add the perspectives and feelings of different characters after the ending. I think it will destroy the sense of completion of the ending, but I will Add a storyline and fleshy side story to the customized printed book.

In the past, I would not put this episode on the Internet, but this time I plan to wait until the custom printing is over, and after the readers have read it first, I will delete it on a sunny day. The plot of the story is put up.At the same time, I will also change the cover of my last competitive article, "Blade of Glory", and then add the story-lined Hexie Fanwai I wrote for the Traditional Gezhi to re-open it.

If you want to ask me about my next writing plan.I will first finish the pit of my Merlin and the pit of the present statement, and then write these three articles:

Exclusively for the customized printed copy of "Shadow Vanguard"

at last!If it's convenient, click on my author's name on the article page to go to my author's column and bookmark my author's column like you collect Yingfeng's articles!

So, friends, we will see you in a while! !
