shadow striker

"Don't tell me that you are out of the stadium. I know that you are sitting in the auditorium far away from the exit today. It is impossible to have out of the stadium now."

Hearing such a sentence, Yue Yihuang opened his eyes wide, and a trace of disbelief flashed in those black eyes.His lag made Chanel, who was the first to notice, turn around and shouted his name to hurry up.

"I...I'm near channel 218 in the stadium hall now."

After finishing these words, Yue Yihuang heard the sound of the heavy tow box being pulled.The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be pulling the towbar box...running towards here.Moreover, that sound may have a little... murderous intent.

Such a reaction made Yue Yihuang stunned.And within 20 seconds, all the teammates of the Roma team and Chanel who were walking in front of Yue Yihuang were also stunned.Because they clearly saw the striker Igles, who has been in the limelight in La Liga in recent years, rushing towards them with two trolley boxes in one hand.

This... what is this...?

A subtle magnetic field between professional players...?

But everyone in the Roma team watched as Igles didn't notice them at all, and rushed towards...Yue Yihuang who was behind them with great momentum, and everyone couldn't understand.

"When I said I would come to Istanbul to watch the European Championships why didn't you tell me you would come too!"

Dragging two large towbar boxes, Igles quickly dodged among the crowd and ran wildly for nearly 20 seconds. When he arrived, his face was neither red nor out of breath, and he asked this question directly and honestly. Yihuang covered his face in front of the Roma and Torino players.

"I……"

When Yue Yihuang scratched his head and didn't know how to give Igles an answer that could pass in front of the public, Nirva and Gareth had already walked towards this place.

"Yihuang, this is... Igles from Barcelona?"

Since he had never met Igles on the field before, Garay seemed not very sure.However, Nirva, who is also Argentine with Igles, has already come up with a positive answer.And Nirva can roughly guess why Igles is here.

As a player who came to the Turin team at about the same time as Yue Yihuang, he was very aware of Yue Yihuang's background in the Barcelona youth training camp.If this is the case, it can explain why this La Liga player of the same level as Francisco will look familiar with their team's shadow forward.

But Nierva knew that the other people present didn't know anything about the relationship between Yue Yihuang and Iglesias.

Therefore, Yue Yihuang reacted immediately, changed the subject very bluntly, and introduced Igles to everyone.

"Well, that's right, he is indeed that Iglesias. We... have known each other since childhood."

"Yes, and Yue Yihuang and I have known each other since childhood. Before entering the Barcelona youth training camp, we always played together in the alleys of Barcelona."

It wasn't until this moment that Igles realized that the group of people he skipped just now happened to be the players who appeared with Yue Yihuang in the live broadcast.Although Igles didn't understand Italian very well, he was able to guess what Yue Yihuang's club teammate was asking based on the two key names and the tone of the question in Garay's sentence.Therefore, he gave this answer almost at the same time as Yue Yihuang, one in Italian and the other in Spanish.

Apparently, the Uruguayan Castel understood what Igles said, and told the meaning of the Spanish sentence to all the Italian speakers at the scene.This surprised everyone.The same means that they have known each other since childhood, but what Igles said has taken this "knowledge since childhood" a big step forward.Including Nierva... everyone at the scene and Yue Yihuang's acquaintance were surprised, and they couldn't help but whispered the truth in Italian.

Eagles didn't care.After confirming that Yue Yihuang's friends could understand the meaning of the self-introduction he just said, Igles was very polite to the members of the Roma team headed by Roman wolf Totti and the other two players of the Turin team. He smiled, and then had a deeper discussion with Yue Yihuang on why he didn't tell himself that he would come to the European Championship.

That kind of tone and the direct, undisguised and thoughtful tone made the relationship between the two seem to return to the past in Barcelona.

Igles' upright appearance made Yue Yihuang feel that he had no words to explain in front of him, so he gritted his teeth and apologized to him, but Igles said very seriously that he didn't need Apologizing wasn't blaming either, he just wanted to know why.

The long-lost reluctance made Yue Yihuang feel like crying.Seeing that there were Spanish-speaking people in both the Rome camp and the Turin camp, Yue Yihuang felt that this could not go on anymore, so he tried to change the subject again, unswervingly.

"Did you come directly from the airport?"

Yue Yihuang's words seemed to directly hit a fact that the Argentinian didn't want to think about, so this time Igles just lowered his head humbly.This kind of sincere performance that can't help but expose many facts can't help but make Yue Yihuang laugh.

"Which hotel are you staying at?"

Hearing Yue Yihuang's question, Igles took out a hotel reservation form from the outside pocket of his trolley case without thinking, and Gale, who was not far from them, saw the reservation form at a glance. The name of the hotel on the list - SwissotelTheBosphorus

This familiar hotel name surprised Gary, he couldn't help looking at Yue Yihuang and asked, "Yihuang, isn't this the hotel we stayed in?"

Gale's voice made Igles look straight at Yue Yihuang, and that sincere doubt finally made Yue Yihuang give this answer: "Igles, I think... you live This hotel should be the same as the one I stayed in."

After speaking, Yue Yihuang turned to look at Totti, and said very earnestly and apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Totti, maybe I need to take my friend to the hotel first."

Totti stared at the young striker of the Torino team for a while, then nodded almost imperceptibly.Chanel, who has been standing behind Totti since just now, walked up to Igles after maintaining her ladylike appearance for a while, walked around him curiously, and looked at the Looking at the two big boxes dragged by the Argentine man, he nodded self-consciously, and then said to Yue Yihuang: "Then you can take him back to the hotel first, but you must remember to have dinner together! Put it away Come to Taksim!"

Obviously, Chanel, who grew up in an environment like the Roma team, was very considerate of this seemingly mutual help between friends, but she never thought that at this time she should treat that person who seemed completely impossible to her. People raised a little bit of wariness.She even smiled politely at Igles before leaving because of Yue Yihuang, the youthful and beautiful girlish aura of the little princess of the Roman team is simply unbearable.

Seeing these people leave first, Igles obviously fell into a puzzled daze.He looked at Chanel's back from afar, and belatedly asked, "Is that...yours...?"

"No, of course she is not my girlfriend. In fact we only met the day before the start of the European Championship group stage. She is the daughter of the Roman wolf Totti. I am friends with her brother Christian."

As he said that, Yue Yihuang grabbed the tow handle of one of Igles' two suitcases and walked towards the exit of the stadium hall.

"Let's go."

However, Yue Yihuang's most natural movements made Igles feel a sense of confusion almost in a trance.It was a memory of yesterday reappearing in front of my eyes.It seems that a long time ago, a picture similar to the present appeared in front of his eyes, but at that time... the person walking in front of him at this moment was much... much shorter than now.

Igles froze for a moment and followed Yue Yihuang, but he couldn't figure out what the indescribable... happy feeling was.

"Again, did you forget to account for the time difference from South America?"

"I……"

Before Igles could give an affirmative answer, Yue Yihuang continued to smile and said: "You are always like this. I told you before, don't pay attention to the departure time when someone else books you a ticket. Airline The departure and arrival times given by the company are all local time, and the time difference will be taken into account. Don’t forget about such things without being reminded.”

Yue Yihuang dragged Igles' suitcase, slowly walked out of the gate of the stadium hall, and then walked down the steps with the suitcase.Only when he turned his back to Igles did he dare not stop the bitterness in that smile.

"Now, you missed Antis' game."

Igles, who was walking behind Yue Yihuang, couldn't see the expression of his playmate who grew up with him.However... one person's voice is enough to make others feel a lot.It's like if a person is smiling on the phone, then... the person on the other end of the phone will definitely be able to hear it.

Therefore, at this moment, Igles felt the sadness-related emotion in Yue Yihuang's voice.He was puzzled and depressed because he couldn't figure out why.So he could only carry the suitcase, walked quickly in front of Yue Yihuang, and then turned his head to look at his former best partner.

However, the moment he turned around, Yue Yihuang had put away all suspicious expressions.

"You haven't answered the question I asked you in the first place."

"Because you will cheer for Antis, and I will definitely cheer for the Italian team and my current teammates."

"That's not why you did it. You used to... you wouldn't lie to me if I asked you."

Igles scratched his head, showing his distress unabashedly.He didn't know how to describe that feeling.However, even though three years have passed, and even now they have undergone earth-shaking changes, Igles' intuition is still able to let Yue Yihuang know whether the other party's words are true or false when he speaks.

It was precisely because of this that this very Argentinian felt an indescribable... uncomfortable feeling.

His good friend seems to have changed, but he doesn't know why, it seems... all the changes started from the "farewell" three years ago.

When Igles gradually recovered from the unresolvable guilt, he no longer knew how to restore the change.In other words, he didn't know how to face his most important childhood playmate.

In the past, he would share the joy of every goal with the opponent, but after that, the more he pays attention to the opponent's current situation, the more he cares about this and that.

In fact, Igles has never been able to tell the other party, and failed to send him to the train station when he left Barcelona. It has always been one of the few regrets in his boyhood.And that regret has never faded with the passage of time, but because of this, it has become difficult to express.

Igles didn't continue talking, he didn't like the melancholy atmosphere that spread around the two of them.

So Igles talked about the interesting things about him when he was in the club, and also told Yue Yihuang how those companions who grew up together in Barcelona's youth training camp were doing now.It's about the baby face who was almost unchanged from the age of 13 to 16, but now has a beard, or a defender who scored four goals for the club this season.

Igles, who was talking enthusiastically with Yue Yihuang, didn't seem to realize that Yue Yihuang already knew what he said.As for Yue Yihuang... he just didn't know what he saw from the broadcast.

In three years, Igles has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. He has changed from an unknown football player in Spain to the most popular striker in the entire La Liga.He became farther and farther away from the ordinary.However, these changes... all happened to a few outstanding graduates of the Barcelona youth academy.Even the trajectory of that change is so familiar, not quite similar to the idols they have looked up to since childhood.

But Yue Yihuang went to a place that was very unfamiliar to most of the Barcelona youth academy graduates, and gradually opened up another world that he never thought of when he was a teenager.

"Igles, have you ever thought about what would happen if we met on the field one day?"

"I will be thankful that Barcelona's current defenders have a good relationship with you. And I hope they can guard you without hurting you. Although, it will be difficult."

Igles' answer was clearly no different than a compliment.And such unintentional praise is obviously more exciting than what the Italian media can give Yue Yihuang at the current stage.

However, Yue Yihuang didn't feel secretly happy because of this.In fact, he closed his eyes after asking this question, as if imagining the scene at that time.Then he opened his eyes, looked at Igles and smiled.And that smile is clearly the wantonness and confidence that he only had when he was in Barcelona with Igles back then.

【Ig, do you believe it?As a shadow striker, what I can do for my teammates on the front line is far more than what Antis can do for Barcelona and you.I firmly believe in this.

There will be such a day.Until then, I will show everyone what I believe in. 】

In the past, Yue Yihuang just stubbornly wanted to let Igles see this, and let the head coach who chose Antis and gave up him understand how stupid his decision was at that time.Up to now, he is still working hard for what he firmly believes in, but... the reason for wanting to do this is different from the beginning.
