[Football] The system upgrade task of the dream pitch

Seven

"Oh, God……"

Veronica watched Juan feed stray cats, fell in love with Chinese food, and even learned to cook and edit various videos. She couldn't believe that one person could change so much.

You must know that Juan has always liked dogs more than cats!Before that, he never showed any preference for "Chinese food"!

She also knows that her bamboo horse has even thought about dyeing her hair for a while...

For a moment, Veronica, like Morata, thought Juan was crazy.

"Your behavior makes me think that your enthusiasm for Zhu Xu has surpassed your love for Real Madrid."

Veronica was half teasing and half emotional.

"how come?"

Juan answered very seriously: "The two have never contradicted each other."

How can there be a contradiction?

He still hopes to wear white and guard the Bernabeu.

But at the same time, he also wanted to witness Zhu Xu's ascension to the throne with his own eyes, and then he was wearing armor, willing to defend under the opponent's throne.

"Zhu Xu also loves Real Madrid."

Right, that is it.

He will be Zhu Xu's teammate.

In the future, he will become His Majesty's most loyal knight, and under the king's command, he will bring all the glory that can be won to this white territory.

Later Juan left Real Madrid.

No child from the Bernabéu would want to leave her on his own initiative.

Juan is no exception.

But if he stays, it will be difficult for him to get the opportunity to grow.

So Juan accepted the loan contract in silence and chose to wander.

I'm going to get strong and come back.

thought Juan.

But he never expected that Zhu Xu would specially come to see him off.

At that time, Zhu Xu was the hero of Real Madrid's treble winning last season. He was the super rookie who brought Argentina the America's Cup together with Messi in the summer of 2011. He was the winner of the 2011 FIFA Puskas Award. The top three of the ball.

Where is Juan?

Juan is just a small player who was promoted from Castilla to Real Madrid's first team, but couldn't get a stable appearance for himself and couldn't stay in Real Madrid.

Although he was about the same age as Zhu Xu, even older.

Zhu Xu didn't talk to him much.

But Zhu Xu's strong hug was able to convey his support, and the phrase "We all love the Bernabeu, and she loves us too" was enough for Juan to put away his rare and sad emotions.

After that, many times, when Juan faced ups and downs and gritted his teeth and persisted, when he tried to do better and better, he always thought of this day and this person.

That is……

his friends.

his idol.

His... king.

Zhu Xu has always maintained a stable relationship with Juan.

For Juan, there was nothing better than that.

In high-level matches, Juan's strength and experience have been steadily improving.

Of course there are injuries.

But it wasn't difficult—according to Zhu Xu, injuries are also a kind of experience.

What's more, Juan himself is also an optimistic and cheerful person. With a good mentality, injuries did not bring much shadow to him.

A few years later, Juan returned to Real Madrid.

This time, Juan occupies a stable position.

He finally realized a small part of his old dream: he played alongside his idol, and played for this team.

This time he is no longer a teenager who has just been promoted to the first team, but an experienced player.

Juan's gaze still followed Zhu Xu, but it was still different from before.

The flower of friendship can only bloom vigorously and joyfully when the strengths of both parties are similar.So now, Juan can finally get something that he had been looking forward to, but knew he couldn't get.

The distance between him and Zhu Xu is getting closer and closer.

Later Zhu Xu became the captain, and later Juan took over the armband of the vice captain.

Captain, and Deputy.

The captain of Real Madrid and the vice-team of Real Madrid.

That night, Juan couldn't sleep because of the excitement.

"I did it, I did it!"

Morata, who was harassed by his phone call, was helpless: "Are you not happy enough during the day?"

Juan ignored him at all: “I did it!”

Morata can understand the mood of a good friend very well.

After all, everyone knows this guy's love for the Bernabéu; anyone with a discerning eye can see this guy's admiration for Zhu Xu.

So it's normal to be excited...

Morata thought "hmm yes I understand" as he tossed the phone aside.

——Understanding is understanding, why must he force himself to accompany him?

After being "tortured" by Juan for a whole day, Morata felt that he was enough friends without hanging up the phone now!

Veronica is also the object of Juan's joy.

But unlike Morata, Veronica thinks more.

"You know what you're getting, right?"

Veronica asked cautiously.

"Of course!"

Juan waved his fist, exactly the same as when he said in front of his grandfather many years ago that he would only go to Real Madrid: "I realized my childhood dream!"

Veronica: ...

I hope so.

she thinks.

However, Veronica's worries came true.

After a long time, Veronica attended the wedding of Zhu Xu and Messi as Juan's female companion.

Before attending the wedding, Veronica experienced the nightmarish process of "Juan choosing a dress".

To be honest, she really didn't expect that Juan would spend longer choosing clothes than her as a woman!

"No no no really don't ask, I think you look good in any outfit."

Veronica refused before Juan asked again.

Well, I always feel that our positions are reversed...

Veronica complained to herself, and wanted to appease Juan with trepidation—that guy was wearing the dress he picked out with great difficulty, talking to himself in the mirror!

"Yeah I think so too, so honey have you decided yet?"

Veronica pretended to say to Juan, "I don't think I would care so much about my wedding." She just hoped that everything would be fine.

After all, both Zhu Xu and Juan have retired now.

But that night, Veronica took in a drunk Juan.

Since Juan became an official professional player, he rarely drinks alcohol.

When he was promoted to Real Madrid's first team, he was even more disrespectful to all drinks-Juan said that it was for his own physical condition and his own sports career.

In Veronica's view, Juan's self-control has always been terrifyingly strong.

So Veronica was quite shocked when she saw a bamboo horse who had clearly broken his habit and drunk.

But after the shock, there was more worry and panic that came with it.

what happened?

What made Juan lose his composure?

In other words, what is it that actually forced Juan, who has always been optimistic, to this point, and even made Juan, who has always been psychologically strong, choose to use alcohol to escape and vent?

Veronica didn't know.

But she is not feeling well.

Although there has never been love between her and Juan, they grew up together. Friendship, family affection... These emotions have long become an unbreakable bond between them.

Juan was an important family member to her, there was no doubting that.

So seeing Juan like this, how could Veronica not feel distressed?

"What the hell did you meet..."

She is puzzled.

After all, she also attended today's wedding—Veronica didn't notice any major incidents at the wedding.

Veronica washed Juan's face, removed his suit jacket, and helped him half-sit on the sofa.

"So I love him..."

The man who didn't know how drunk he was, propped his face, his eyes didn't know where to look.

"Ronnie..."

Juan's tone was floating and a little dazed: "I'm very sad."

When did Veronica see Juan like this?

Before her, Juan had always been the protector.

As he said before, he protects Veronica as a knight, like a princess.

Such Juan has never been so weak as he is now, so... makes people sad.

"But I didn't know until today that I love him."

Juan spoke very softly, and his expression even became very calm at that moment, not like a person who drank too much at all.

He finally found that he had already had deep roots in love.

But it was too late, too late.

The person he loves is already married.

But it seems that even if it is earlier, it is useless?

Juan's vision was a little blurry.

Because...he knew so clearly that Zhu Xu had never had any special thoughts for him.

Veronica understood almost the moment Juan finished speaking.

She knows what's going on.

That was the suspicion she had had.

But Veronica didn't say it at the time, because she was afraid that Juan might not think about it, but because of her own words...

This is a terrible thing.

Veronica doesn't want it to happen.

But she didn't expect it to come anyway.

Who is it?Did someone wake up Juan, or was Juan himself...?

Veronica's brain was racing.

But now is not the time to pursue these matters.

Veronica threw those complicated thoughts to the back of her mind, she approached her bamboo horse, and said with the gentlest voice and the gentlest movements, while patting the other's back: "It's okay, it's okay... "

There was no way she could do more.

Juan is in love with a man.

Not to mention that this is an absolute forbidden zone in the football field, that man... can't possibly love Juan.

Because that person is Zhu Xu.

Although Veronica is single now, it doesn't mean she has no love experience before.

How could she not know what it would be like for a person to love another person?

She could see that Zhu Xu had love in his heart, and Zhu Xu's feelings for her bamboo horse were just friends—just as she had discovered that Juan had a crush on Zhu Xu a long time ago.

In fact, it is precisely because of this, because Veronica also found that Juan was not aware of his own emotions at all, and Veronica remained silent.

——If you don't find out, don't find out for the rest of your life.

It’s best to live like this for the rest of your life—I think that Zhu Xu is my idol for the rest of my life, they are partners who cooperate with each other tacitly, they are the captain and vice-team of Real Madrid, and they are good friends.

In this way, no one will be sad, and Juan will always be happy.

That's what Veronica thought.

But she didn't expect that the secret she carefully kept would be exposed once in a while.

Juan finally clarified his feelings, and then the most desperate thing came together - at the same moment of knowing, he would understand the hopelessness of this relationship.

But she can do everything she can.

"it does not matter……"

She hugged her bamboo horse: "You still have me, and we..."

She will take good care of the drunk bamboo horse, and she will always be with him if he needs it.

Because ah...

Now it's her turn to protect her knight.

Well, let’s put the second half of Juan’s episode first.

Someone guessed right, Juan really likes Zhu Xu, but...

Alright, next is an IF episode, see you all this weekend!
