shadow striker

In mid-March, the cold wind has subsided, and spring brings colors to Turin, an important industrial city in Italy.And in a villa on the outskirts of Turin, a young man with an oriental face is sitting on a recliner, with an ultra-thin [-]-inch laptop on his lap, and fruit next to the bench and some Chinese tea.

He just finished watching the league game between Torino and AC Milan.

yes, look.

The Phantom Son of the Turin team, who was accidentally injured in the Europa League 8/1 final, was not allowed to play in this game.Although he was not seriously injured.But in order to prevent him from developing a habitual sprain in the future, the team doctor specifically told him to rest for a while.Maybe this period is two weeks, but preferably three weeks.

So of course Yue Yihuang missed the match between Turin and AC Milan.Not only that, he will miss the next league game.

Although Yue Yihuang was unwilling to accept such a result, there was nothing he could do.So he had to recuperate well at home, and he could return to the team for training after four days.But even if he returns to the team, he can only do some regular training, and as for group training or something, he can't even touch it.

Fortunately, AC Milan's state in the past two weeks has not been good, or bad. Two-line combat is also what AC Milan, the top three in the north of Serie A, needs to face.And in the UEFA Champions League 8/1 finals that just ended, they also suffered a setback on the front line, and due to the age of many of their players, the physical condition of the whole team was not good.

In this way, Turin miraculously defeated AC Milan in the league with its tenacious willpower and fighting spirit.

Torino took three league points from AC Milan and went straight back to sixth place, only two points away from No.5.

Yue Yihuang, who was ordered to rest at home for three days and was not allowed to go out, watched the live broadcast of the game on his laptop on the wooden porch of his home.

Having won two crucial games in a row within a week, Yue Yihuang felt that they had just stepped out of the trough and were gradually returning to their ideal track.

The warm wind and warm sunshine brought him a little tiredness, so Yue Yihuang put the laptop on the wooden porch, closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare comfort.Just when he was sleepy, a private car stopped in front of his villa.

"Sir? Sir, Mr. Francisco, he..."

Yi Lian, who was in charge of maintaining the house, saw someone coming and wanted to wake up Yue Yihuang, but she saw the other person making a "shh" gesture, so she gave a lady's salute to the other person, and then continued to take care of the front of the villa. small garden.

Francisco had just finished the game, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and drove directly from the Communale Stadium to Yue Yihuang's new home.When he saw the person lying on the bench, curled up in the sun on the porch, and fell into a deep sleep, he actually felt that all the tiredness disappeared.

He took off his shoes and walked on the wooden porch in sports socks, just to prevent the sound of leather shoes stepping on the porch from waking him up.

Slowly approaching, looking at the other person's eyebrows and eyes covered by the overly long forehead hair, and the facial features that are very delicate when you look closely.It seems that just looking at it can make you smile unconsciously.

Touching the location of the heart, Francisco felt that the poison in him seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.

"Yi Huang."

Kneeling on one knee beside the bench, and softly called his name in the ear of the phantom child.However, that person had already fallen into a deep sleep, without any reaction at all.So, Francisco leaned down, looked at the other party closer, closer, and then couldn't restrain the desire to kiss the other party like a maniac.

He secretly kissed that person's lips again while the other person was asleep.

Only this time, he was a little more daring, he kept rubbing the side of that person's lips with his lips, then slowly pried it open, and lightly licked the other person's tongue with the tip of his tongue.Just a light touch made him feel a sense of joy that shuddered all over.

You must have been sent by the devil to seduce me.

No...how could the devil's messenger have such a pure temperament.

Francisco looked at Yue Yihuang with complicated eyes.For the past two years, he had been telling himself that this was just another love at first sight, and that he would soon lose interest in this person in front of him.Yet what he said to himself turned out to be self-deception.

Because two years have passed, that infatuation has not faded in the slightest, on the contrary... it has become deeper and deeper.

I don't know when, the words that warned myself never to shoot at the person in front of me no longer have the sentence that the two are together and then separated, and that being in the same team will make them very embarrassing to each other.

I don't know when, he began to worry that if he let the other party know his intentions, would that guy who is very stubborn about feelings run away far away.

"What to do, these are not enough, I want to kiss you. Deeply, deeply...Kiss you."

Francisco opened his arms and hugged the sleepy young Yingfeng tightly.And his movement finally woke up Yue Yihuang.The young man with an oriental face moved his body and realized that the other party had woken up. Francisco did not panic, but pulled the thin blanket covering his body with the hands that hugged the other party tightly.

"The blanket you were covering fell to the floor."

"Y-Is that so? I mean...thank you."

The state of just waking up is always groggy. He first thanked the other party, but after saying thank you, he suddenly realized that it was Francisco who had just led the Turin team to victory over AC Milan at the Communale Stadium.Yue Yihuang sat up happily.

"Torino won! Milan!"

"I think so, we won. And we're three points away from No. 4 in the standings. So you can stop dreaming about the goddamn standings nightmare."

When hearing the other party say these words, Yue Yihuang laughed a little awkwardly.He wanted to invite the captain of the Turin team in front of him to sit down and have some tea together, but he found that the only reclining chair he was sitting on was available for people.So he stood up quickly, took off the cushion on the recliner, spread it on the edge of the porch, and motioned for the other party to sit here with him.

Of course Francisco would not refuse.

Although it is a cushion on the bench, it does not mean that it can be long.Two able-bodied grown men would have to sit very close to each other on that cushion.

The Italian man's gaze was fixed on Yue Yihuang's bandage-wrapped left foot after the two of them sat down together.In silence, Francisco bent down to hold Yue Yihuang's left foot, causing Yue Yihuang to turn around and face him.

The temperature of the palm was printed on the feet that were not wearing socks because of the bandages, and the feet were slightly cold. The comfortable warmth made people almost tremble.It was at this time that the smile on Francisco's face disappeared.He couldn't help asking... why.

Francisco: "Why did you block Skotz's shovel for me at that time."

Yue Yihuang: "Because... I don't think he was going for the ball at that time. He seemed... wanted to shovel you."

Francisco: "Did you forget that a foul in the penalty area is a yellow card and we might get a penalty?"

Yue Yihuang: "Ah...? I... forgot at the time."

Francisco: "Then do you forget that you are not strong at all? A foot injury is fatal for a football player. You have been paying attention and rarely injured in the second division. How can you now forget?"

Yue Yihuang: "Don't think of me as a glass man. I usually exercise my Achilles tendon."

Francisco: "So you think you did the right thing on Thursday?"

Yue Yihuang: "I think... that is correct."

After a few conversations, Yue Yihuang still insisted that the series of actions he made instinctively in that overtime match were correct.So Francisco sighed.

"I should say thank you. But I'm not happy at all. You know? If I was the one who kicked down, I wouldn't necessarily get hurt. I can even say that I'm [-]% sure that I won't Injured. But now, you are really injured. I can't stand... the field without you."

Gently stroking the other party's slightly cold left foot, Francisco's expression was even a little pious.

That expression made Yue Yihuang startled in a daze.Then Francisco raised his head, and the moment their eyes met, Yue Yihuang avoided it.

He wanted to withdraw his feet a little uncomfortable, and pretended to be calm and said: "Uster's performance is very good. I feel very relieved to have him in my place. But Turin can't live without you."

"He can only take your place temporarily, but no one can replace you. I firmly believe it."

Looking at Francisco's side face that looked a bit lonely, Yue Yihuang said sorry to the other party by accident.After he said this sentence, Francisco grabbed his shoulders and made the two of them stand side by side, waiting for the coming sunset.

Although Yue Yihuang has been trained in the very Spanish-style Barcelona youth training camp since he was a child, there is often physical contact between the players.Even enthusiastic Spaniards like to kiss their teammates, cheeks or heads, and good friends who haven't seen each other for a long time will kiss each other face to face.But Yue Yihuang felt that what Francisco did to him would give him a strange feeling, but he couldn't explain what kind of feeling it was.

Before Yue Yihuang could understand the particularity of that intimacy, Francisco's voice sounded again.

"Dro asked me to bring you a message. Your return to the team has been delayed. Before next Thursday, you are not allowed to come back for training, and you are not allowed to train indiscriminately by yourself. Take a good rest at home."

"What? But why? It's just a small injury. I feel almost better today, and I can go back to training tomorrow."

"Don't ask me, maybe you should ask the team doctor. But I think this decision is very correct. In order to prevent you from becoming a habitual sprain, you must heal thoroughly. Repeated old injuries are the worst."

Hearing this sentence, Yue Yihuang frowned and thought for a while before expressing that he understood that it is not good to be brave, and the injury should heal completely, which is more beneficial to a long-term career.When the two said this, Yue Yihuang suddenly thought of Enzuo who called two days ago, and what Enzuo said to him after scolding him.

"By the way! I have a friend in the Espanyol club. He said that he would like to come to Turin and tell everyone about our next Europa League opponent, AEK Athens. Talk about... AEK Athens and the Olympic Games that favor them Si Shengguang. When you go to training tomorrow, help me bring this sentence to everyone. Let's see if anyone is interested in listening to it together."

There are many legends surrounding AEK Athens, Torino's next Europa League opponent.

Its emblem is two black eagles with swords and crowns on a golden background.It has won the Greek Super League more than a dozen times, has also frequently appeared in the Europa League, and even appeared in the UEFA Champions League.Moreover, it can also be regarded as the "predecessor" of Juventus.Because, before the Juventus Europa League group stage six-game tie, Athens AEK had already created the miraculous "Europa League group stage six-game tie" in the 2002-2003 season.However, those only add color to its legend, but not the most fundamental reason why this club is so famous this year.

"Squeeze Inter Milan, step on Florence, the biggest Serie A killer of this season is freshly released! "

"The holy light of Olympus reappears on the earth, and the Spaniard, the overlord of the Europa League, is eliminated"

"Voices of the Beating Club: When I Stepped on the Knicks Gumas Field, I Felt My Power Sucked Out of an Invisible Black Hole"

In this season, most of the reports about AEK Athens in European football appeared under this title.

After the Spaniard was also ruthlessly run over by this Greek chariot, the Torino team is about to become the third Serie A team to face AEK Athens.

Is it to smash the nickname of Athens AEK Serie A killer, or to demonstrate again the fact that Athens AEK is a name that makes all Serie A fans unhappy after hearing it?The Turin team, which has just experienced two big battles, has to be treated with caution.

But at this time, Enzo stood up, he stood up bravely.

On the second day after defeating AC Milan, Francisco conveyed Yue Yihuang's wishes for the Spanish club's main midfielder in the locker room, and received positive responses from the Turin players.Everyone said that if Enzo is willing to come to Turin and tell them what happened in that battle, they will cover round-trip air tickets, board and lodging, and a one-day tour of Turin!

In this way, under the expectation of everyone, Enzo quickly made time and took a plane from Barcelona, ​​Spain to Turin, Italy.

The person in charge of picking up the plane was Yue Yihuang who didn't need to participate in training these days.

Facing this friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Yue Yihuang was already planning to give Enzuo a warm face-to-face gift when they met.Who knew that this guy actually saw his first move...that was to punch him on the head with his fist.

Enzo: "I'm sorry I won't get peace of mind if I don't punch you before I tell you that!"

Yue Yihuang: "..."

…………

"To avoid the holy light of Olympus, we can start from these small aspects. First, before you set off for the Knicks Gumas Stadium, you need to find out what type of bus will take you all the way Cars, and bring your own bus tires, as well as professionals who can change the bus tires. Because the Holy Light of Olympus can make your bus tires blow out one after another within 10 minutes."

"Second, if necessary, you can arrive one night earlier. Because the moment you step into the Athens Airport, the Holy Light has already been turned on. The Holy Light can make your time pass invisibly. It is probably just a red light. Time, you will find that your watch time has passed another 10 minutes. To be sure, you may bring a tent and go camping at the Knicks Gumas Stadium the night before."

"Third, you must pay attention to your diet. It is likely to be a pot of local Athens chickpea stew, which can make your teammate acute gastroenteritis and heal once he leaves Greece!"

"Fourth, the whole team must act in unison, and no one can be alone! Otherwise, he may be trapped in a different dimension and won't be able to get back until the end of the game!"

"Fifth... You have to be prepared for the first minute of playing as if you have already played 1 minutes. You are playing overtime, and this overtime will need to last 10 minutes. At that time, you will You have to tell yourself that the feeling of exhaustion and exhaustion is all an illusion, it’s all an illusion.”

Enzo was warmly welcomed by everyone as soon as he arrived at the training base of the Turin team.The restaurant even prepared small snacks and mint black tea for Enzo that he might be interested in.

The lecture on the Apocalypse of the Holy Light of Olympus was also held in the restaurant of the Turin training base.

Only the main players of the Turin team came here at first.Then, the fitness coach came here because of his interest, then the assistant coach came, and then... the head coach of the Turin team, Delo, also came.

Everyone took out notepads and pens, and recorded carefully like a college student rushing before the final exam.But the more everyone heard it, the more frightened they became. Who knew who was recording these too hard, and directly broke the lead of the sharpened wooden pencil....At this moment, the audience fell into a deathly silence.

The members of the Torino team hesitantly raised their heads to look at the midfielder from Spain, only to see that he actually... smiled evilly.

Enzo smiled charmingly, and the Turin team members dropped their notebooks.

Enzo Xiemei smiled again, and the Turin team members trembled three times, and fled without packing their things.

At this time, the science student Tiar issued such a concluding sentence: "This is not scientific."

In this regard, Enzo also expressed very generously: "Of course it is not scientific. I made up those just now."

Hearing this, Yue Yihuang, who invited this unreliable young man, couldn't help covering his face.He felt ashamed to see his teammates in Torino.But when the weird atmosphere continued to spread, Enzo finally became serious.

"Well, it's not all nonsense, at least the last one is true."

As he said that, Enzo carefully recalled the situation on the day of the competition, and his expression immediately became ferocious.

"I felt something was wrong when I got off the plane! When I took the bus from the airport to the stadium, I passed by someone who robbed the bank! Those people were all wearing high-fidelity masks of the President of the United States! The police were chased by them in their BMWs. Santiao Street, this is not a movie!! The bus driver was very happy to watch people robbing banks there! After watching it, tell us that this is only a rare case, and the law and order in Athens is usually very good!!

It's even worse when we get to the stadium!As soon as I entered the locker room, I felt that my morale was greatly reduced, and my mood began to be as melancholy as a woman after giving birth!On the field, when the Europa League songs started to play in the field, I began to feel dizzy. That feeling was exactly the same as when I had a low fever 800 years ago!Another teammate told me that he seemed to have Meniere's syndrome all of a sudden!I'm so dizzy that I'm spinning around!

But the nightmare is not over yet!Our striker attacked, the through ball was cut off, he couldn't make a single shot, and he shot and made three kicks and went out by rubbing the post!AEK Athens can bounce in every time it hits the goal post!That's not Holy Light at all...that's an insidious curse..."

As he said that, Enzuo's eyes showed a fierce look, and he slapped Yue Yihuang's shoulder vigorously with his palm, and said in grief and indignation: "Good brothers, no matter what...you must win, you must win the Athens AEK, do you know! I am not reconciled to such a Holy Light team sitting on the throne of the Europa League! I am not reconciled, do you understand!"

Flying all the way from Barcelona, ​​just to yell at the players of the Torino team.After talking about the specific situation of the game at that time, Enzo left in such a cool manner, he didn't even stay for dinner.

Seeing the back of Enzo's departure, the Turin coach Delo, who was deeply touched, couldn't help saying in a compassionate tone:

"If the Holy Light of Olympus really exists, shall we also dispatch our patron saint? I think the tights put on the bench in the last Europa League game are very effective. You say that the tights are worn It's better in the team uniform, or like last time, hang it on a vertical hanger and put it on the bench? Or hurry up and make another set, wear it on your body, and put another set on the bench for better effect Better?"

All members of the Turin team: "..."
