[Football] Kaka and Margaret

The Serie A schedule is progressing unhurriedly. It has become Maggie's habit to cheer up every home game, and sometimes she even goes to visit away games.In this way, half a season has passed unknowingly.

Maggie filled a notebook with her future plans, and many of her new paintings were displayed at home. Mafilia also praised her as a "master" of landscape painting.

More often than not, besides being at the flower shop, she would also accompany Maphilia.Her belly got bigger day by day, she experienced morning sickness, experienced various pregnancy reactions, and now she is becoming more and more normal, except for a little fatter.Of course she was still so pretty.

At the end of the year, another big event happened. The 2004 Golden Globe Award was awarded to AC Milan's Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko.So on this day, as Sheva's wife, Mafilia didn't go to the scene because she was pregnant, but the way she hugged Maggie and cried made Maggie feel like she didn't even know where to put her hands.Because Sheva went to attend the ceremony, Maggie would go to Mafilia's house to help take care of her.

It was also fortunate that Maggie was by her side at the time, otherwise it would be entirely possible that the fetus would show signs of premature delivery due to being too excited... As for whether the fetus will be born prematurely at six or seven months, it should be possible.Maggie is not sure either, after all, she doesn't know much about human medicine.

Of course, as Sheva's friends, all of them were happy for him.In this regard, the club even held a celebration banquet, and Maggie drank a glass of wine, and was carried home by Kaka.

--------

Due to Kaka's outstanding performance in the first season, all Milan's opponents have focused on this talented boy this season.Italian football is famous for its defense, so every game Kaka has to face the flanking and marking from the opponent. The limbs/body/rush/collision made him suffer. Sometimes Maggie felt anxious for him in the stands.Fortunately, Kaka has been working hard to avoid getting hurt, so that at least half of Maggie's heart is in her stomach.

The Milan Derby in the new season is still very exciting.In the Milan Derby on October 24, Milan drew 0-0 with Inter Milan, so the Milan Derby in the second round attracted more attention.No one can say how hot the Milan Derby is. On February 2005, 2, 27 fans flooded into the San Siro Stadium on the day of the Milan Derby with fireworks in full bloom.

In this game, Inter Milan sits at the home court "Meazza", but for the fans of the Rossoneri, this also belongs to their home court "San Siro".Everyone is looking forward to another classic battle.

In the vast history of the Milan Derby, there are countless classic battles, but this game, although not a classic, but for Milan, Kaka is their angel who dominates the game.

In the 74th minute of the game, it was Gattuso again. Relying on Gattuso's assist, "The Butcher" made a powerful long shot at the top of the penalty area. After a light block, the ball changed its line. Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo had no time to react, so he had no choice but to watch the ball fly into the net.

This is the only goal in this Milan derby. Kaka scored this goal, allowing Milan to win the derby again.Since coming to Serie A, Kaka has played against Inter Milan four times in the league, and he has scored goals in three of them, and the final winner of these three games is Milan.

After the game, Milan fans also gave Kaka the nickname "Inter Milan Killer Buster" that once belonged to Shevchenko.This Brazilian youth, who has just landed on the Apennine Peninsula for one and a half seasons, has become a well-deserved Mr. Big Scene.The victory of this Milan Derby also allowed AC Milan to overwhelm the Bianconeri Juventus with a goal difference and take the top spot in the standings.During the dinner, Sheva also celebrated Kaka with his arms around him, and they also celebrated for the club. Milan seems to be one step away from the league championship this season.

The Milan Derby is over, and it is another normal training day and match day for everyone.But for a family, the arrival of a new life is a big event.In March, Maphilia gave birth to a boy at the hospital, whom she named George.

"The newborn is really ugly... It's wrinkled, and it doesn't inherit the beauty of me and his father at all." After being discharged from the hospital, Mafilia rested at home. They hired a nurse, so they didn't need to stare at the baby all the time .So she could gossip with Maggie.

"I don't understand this at all... I have never had a child. But I heard that children should grow up and look better. Maybe a month later, he will be a beautiful little prince." Maggie put the flowers she brought in a vase Here, the flowers that have been blessed by magic bloom extraordinarily brightly, adding a touch of color to the family that has new members coming.

"Hey...Speaking of which, I've gained a lot of weight, and I don't even have a waist." Mafilia resented her figure very much, "It's all because of that brat."

"Leah~ In fact, you haven't changed much. According to your previous exercise, you will soon be back to that charming blonde!" Maggie listened to Mafilia's complaints, comforted her, and looked at her by the way. I gave her a magic spell when she couldn't reach it. This magic is about health, which is very suitable for Maphilia at this stage.

They chatted casually about their recent life, and then agreed to attend the baptism of the newborn together, and Maggie left.

The temperature in March is gradually warming up, but Maggie is still wrapped in a thick coat, which seems to be colder than last winter.In the room, due to the heating, it didn't feel so obvious, but outside, she felt a biting cold wind.Especially after coming out of Mafilia's house, it seemed to be more serious.Is it because the sky is getting dark and it is almost night?I always feel that something big will happen recently, Maggie's sixth sense told her.

Her sixth sense seems to be a little wrong. Although something happened, it was not a "big thing", but it can't be said that it is not a big thing for human beings, but for her, it is a very serious thing .Because she dropped a leaf.

The Margarita flower has never withered since she gave birth to consciousness. She has always bloomed unbeaten, and has never had dead leaves or fallen leaves.But this time, a whole piece of emerald green leaves fell directly into the flowerpot.Maggie felt incredible.

Why?What happened?The leaf was still green, like a specimen, but it had fallen off the body.Human factors can be completely ruled out, Kaka will never touch her body, let alone he hasn't come home yet.And the cat will not come to destroy this potted flower - there are so many flowers in the garden for it to scratch, there is no need for Lily to come to the second floor to grab a flower or leaf.

Maggie, who didn't know what happened at all, could only collect the fallen leaf and put it in her diary.Apart from distress and some inexplicable strange feelings, she has nothing to do. According to the standard of plants, the loss of a leaf is actually as common as human hair loss.Hopefully it was just an accident and not something she was overthinking.

When Kaka came back, he saw Maggie who was a bit depressed, and thought he had done something to make her unhappy, but after scratching his head for a long time, he was either training or preparing for the competition recently, and the time he spent with Maggie limited.Don't let her think that he doesn't want to talk to her...

"Maggie? Didn't you go to see George today? What happened?" Kaka thought that Maggie told him this morning that she would go to see the newborn, so something must have happened in the middle.

"It's nothing, Leah said that the newborn baby is not very good-looking... But I think it's okay, he is really too young, and I don't dare to hug him." Speaking of this, Maggie's expression immediately changed, and she started Speaking of children, "He hasn't opened his eyes yet, and he has been sleeping. I don't know what color eyes he will see when he opens them. I think he is very similar to Maphilia, although she thinks I don't want them both at all..."

The topic of children makes Maggie stop worrying about those troublesome things, so children are the treasures of the world, and seeing them will make her feel better.Maggie didn't plan to tell Kaka about it, she was afraid that Kaka would be more worried than her.And now it is the most severe moment of the schedule, if Kaka does not perform well, then she will become a sinner.

The competition in the league is fierce, and it is equally fierce in the European arena. In this year's Champions League, Milan got rid of the nightmare of Riazor last year and advanced to the semi-finals.Facing Eredivisie powerhouse Eindhoven in the semi-finals was even more thrilling.In the first round of Milan's home game, Milan won 2-0, and both goals were credited.He first assisted Shevchenko to score a goal, and at the last moment, his long shot hit the opponent's defender again, allowing Thomason to intercept the ball and shoot successfully.

The second round went to Eindhoven's Philips Stadium. The desperate Eindhoven took a 65-2 lead in the 0th minute and directly tied the total score at 2-2!With the passage of time, the sense of tension and oppression has become more and more serious. Whether Milan will repeat the same mistakes or overcome the ups and downs, these two choices are entangled in the hearts of all Milanese.Seeing that the game was about to enter overtime, in the 90th minute, Kaka made another move. He made a pass from the left and assisted Ambrosini with a header to score, allowing Milan to see the gate of the final.Although Eindhoven scored another goal in stoppage time, but because there was not much time left, the score of 3 to 1 was frozen until the end.The losing Milan advanced to the final by virtue of the advantage of away goals.

Milan's thrilling promotion made countless Milan fans cry. They were afraid that their home team would be shut out of the final again. Fortunately, this time, they lived up to their expectations.

In the final, Maggie followed the team to Türkiye.Accompanying her were Mafilia and her youngest son.The little boy who was just two months old has lost his wrinkled face when he was born, and now he can see the handsome appearance that will fascinate many girls in the future.It is also because she has become prettier, so Mafilia has become a baby fanatic. In addition to taking a bunch of photos, she also painted a lot of oil paintings, and she has an urge to "open an exhibition for her son"... ... Sure enough, women are fickle.

At 5:25pm on May 45th, at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, the final of the 50th European Champions Cup will start soon.After entering the stadium, Kaka and Gattuso both touched the UEFA Champions League trophy placed on the edge of the stadium under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of spectators all over the world.

In Maggie's view, this is Kaka's first time participating in the Champions League final. She feels that she needs to pay special attention to this game, so as a relative, Maggie took Maphilia to the family seat, which is very rare. In fact, The main reason is that there are many people at the family table, and everyone is "brothers and sisters" who can help Mafilia take care of the child, but there is no need to pay special attention to the child who has just been two months old, because he will eat when he is full. sleep.I came to watch the game because my mother brought me to cheer my father on.

The author has something to say:

This is also the 5th Champions League in their team history. Benitez also became the 3rd head coach to win the UEFA Cup and Champions Cup for two consecutive seasons after Paisley and Mourinho. .

The passing of Milan and the Big Ears Cup is like a reincarnation of fate two years ago.The goddess of luck is always affectionate. Two years ago, they got her favor in the final with Juventus, so this time, the goddess stood on the opposite side of them.When opportunities were missed again and again and the game was successfully dragged into a penalty shoot-out by Liverpool, the balance of victory was actually tilted towards Liverpool, because their strategy had succeeded, just like AC Milan two years ago.

Got a penalty, lost a penalty.Two years ago, AC Milan reached the top of Europe through a penalty shootout, but this time they lost in a penalty shootout.

The strange manipulation of the word count by the author of obsessive-compulsive disorder... yes, that's me

Istanbul successfully finished √

Originally, I wanted to keep writing until the end of the season, but after doing the math, I found that this chapter might cost [-] or even [-], so I put it in the next chapter.

------

It is a taboo to touch the trophy before entering the field, but you cannot get it if you touch it in advance. This is almost a well-known unspoken rule in the football world.

So, in fact, the penalty kick still has a lot of luck. Dudek has accumulated a lot of money?The kind where the ugly duckling turns into a swan.

(Although I am writing about Milan, it does not prevent me from saying: Liverpool is amazing!!! If miracles have a color, it must be the red of Liverpool!
