Chinese champion

Chapter 208
The summer of 2004 was a busy summer for football players in the world, especially the national players. They could not go on vacation around the world as soon as the league ended as in the past, but they had to go to their respective countries in a hurry. reported in the national team.

The reason is simple. The summer of 2004 was another "big competition year" with very intensive competitions. The European Cup was held in June, the Asian Cup and America's Cup were held in July, and the Olympic Games was held in August.These four heavyweight football events will offer fans all over the world an exquisite "summer feast".

In July, Chinese fans are probably most concerned about the final stage of the Asian Cup. In the grouping, the Chinese team, as the host, is in Group A. In the same group, Bahrain and Qatar in West Asia and Indonesia in Southeast Asia are in the same group. In this team, there is no traditional strong team in Asia. Only Qatar can be regarded as an old enemy of the Chinese team. The Qatar football team left indelible scars on Chinese football.

Since the Asian Cup will not officially start until July 7th, He Jin suggested to Ali Han that the overseas players be given a half-month leave, and they did not officially report to the national team until June 17th. Ali Han, who has been around for a long time, of course knows how tired the players are after the intensive European competitions. In addition, the opponents in the group stage are relatively weak, so he reasonably agreed to this request.

In Madrid, Spain, a high-end restaurant.

"Come, come, give us a toast to young master Zhu, he is the protagonist today!" Pei Wei said with a smile, and Wu Qi also booed: "It's all up, let's not get drunk today! Anyway, we will be drunk soon! I’m going back to China for training, and it’s going to be hard to find this opportunity again!”

Others raised their glasses one after another. When it comes to drinking capacity, Li Min can be called the number one among this group of people. Everyone in the Northeast loves to drink. Li Min has been influenced since he was a child. The highest record is that he drank a catty and a half of liquor alone Without changing his face, he forced half of the Dalian youth team to the ground.But Ju Huyong revealed that after that incident, Li Min hadn't drunk alcohol for half a month, and felt sick whenever he saw alcohol.

But in normal times, Li Min hardly drinks alcohol, because he knows that excessive drinking is a taboo for athletes. There are many such examples in the UK, such as former Manchester United superstar George Best and former British international Gascoigne. Li Min doesn't want to be such a negative example of two typical people who are defeated by alcohol.

But on days when there's no competition... a drink now and then isn't a big deal.

When everyone was eating, drinking and chatting, Pei Wei's cell phone rang suddenly.

"He Tou's call." Pei Wei looked at the caller ID on the phone screen and said, the others stopped their chopsticks and pricked up their ears to hear what He Jin was up to.

"It's me, coach, what's the matter? Oh, I see, great, they, they are with me, we just celebrated for Zhu Jun. Hehe, ok, I will pass it on to them, thank you coach!"

Pei Wei hung up the phone excitedly, and said to the others: "The national team decided to give us a half-month vacation, let us have a good rest, as long as we report to BJ before the 28th!"

"Wow, it's different after Lao Fang came to power. How dare he let us take such a long vacation? Oh, I see the hope of Chinese football again!" Zhu Jun said shaking his head.

"Hey, you're dead, kid, and you're criticizing the leader behind your back. See if I won't tell you the secret!" Du Wei hit him immediately.

"Are you this kind of person? No way?" Zhu Jun exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"However, I still need to take a good rest in the past half month. I haven't rested for a long time. I'm really tired." Li Min sighed.

"Small sample, are you still a professional player? Are you so weak in physical strength? Don't you just empty your body out in London?" Zhang Qi said jokingly.

"Seriously, what are you going to do for the next half month?" Hu Yong asked.

"Of course I'm going to watch the European Cup. It's about to start in two days...Do you want to report on the 28th? You can watch the three quarter-finals all the way through the schedule!" Du Wei said happily.

"Then let's go and watch together, it's nothing to worry about anyway," Zhu Jun suggested.

"Hey, I can't do it." Pei Wei patted his head: "I'm going to Milan first... Ke'er is on vacation now, I want to ask her to watch it together."

"Then let's wait for you and call Ke'er together. I haven't seen Ke'er for a long time. It's weird." Zhu Jun said carelessly.

"Forget it, if Ke'er stays with you for a long time, it will turn bad...Let us watch it alone."

"Alone..." Whistles and strange screams rang out, and Zhu Jun's heartbroken cry was also mixed in: "We value sex and despise friends, this is called despising sex and despising friends, my God—why do I know such a person?" man..."

Seeing Pei Wei happily boarding the plane from Madrid to Milan, Zhu Jun put Wu Qi's shoulder sadly: "Oh, Wu Qi, you are the best, you didn't leave me behind like Pei Wei here……"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Qi immediately pushed his hand away as if he had been electrocuted: "Well, this, I remembered that I still have something to do in Manchester, I'm sorry, brothers, I will go first, you guys Don't wait for me..."

Looking at Wu Qi running away like a rabbit, Zhu Jun was dumbfounded, and Hu Yong and others laughed loudly...

**********************************
"Hmm... Porto Fire Dragon Stadium can watch the opening game. Figo and Ronaldinho are so handsome... You can also watch a game between Italy and Sweden. Italy has the most handsome guys, but you can watch two England games at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon David is there... oh, what should I do, it's so hard to make a choice..." Marco flipped through a copy of the "European Championship Watch Guide" over and over, muttering in his mouth.

Pei Wei was sweating all over his face, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and called out: "Hey, are you going to watch the football or the people?"

"You have to watch the ball, you have to watch people too..." Ma Keer turned around and asked with a smile, "Why, are you jealous?"

Pei Wei blushed a little when she saw it, and said forcefully: "Who...who said it, I don't have it."

"Tch, if you're jealous, you'll be jealous, and no one will laugh at you, so come help me with my advice, which one should I choose?"

"I prefer to be in Porto, because there is a Spanish game in another 21st century Bessa stadium in Porto, I want to go for Cristiano (Campano) and Ruiz (Ismail) Cheer, but Porto's quarter-finals will be held on the 28th, and I will be returning to China at that time, so I can't watch it." Pei Wei said regretfully.

"Then go to the Stadium of Light and watch the match between England and France. It must be a wonderful match!" Marco said with understanding.

"But there is another option. If you are not afraid of getting tired, we will watch every game! Of course, we can only pick one game that starts at almost the same time." Pei Wei said.

"Of course that's great, but can you buy so many tickets?" Marco asked in doubt.

"It doesn't matter. I'll go to Luis now. He is the veteran of the Portuguese national team. It's easy to get a few tickets." Pei Wei said confidently.

"Louis? Oh, you mean Figo, is he familiar with you? It's not good to rush to ask for help, and besides, there are not just a few tickets, but many tickets." Marco asked doubtfully.

"I filmed an advertisement with him last year and chatted a few words. He is very enthusiastic, and he has a brother-in-law who is of Chinese descent. He has always had a good impression of China, and after the game between us and Real Madrid some time ago Take the initiative to tell me that if you want tickets for the European Cup, you can tell him. At that time, I didn’t know that I had half a month’s leave, so I didn’t want it. It’s definitely no problem to find him now.”

"That would be great!" Marco jumped up happily: "Let's start picking, and see which games will be exciting!"

One day later, Mar Ke'er was holding a hand full of tickets and couldn't close her mouth with a smile. She lost all her ladylike demeanor. Pei Wei couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded: "Attention, demeanor, demeanor!"

Only then did Marco calm down a bit: "I didn't expect Louis to be so enthusiastic. He sent all the tickets we asked for. You should thank him well."

"Of course, I will treat him to dinner." Pei Wei flipped through the pile of tickets: "But unfortunately, it will be a little later, there are no VIP tickets, only ordinary tickets are left." He said with a little regret .

"What does it matter? It's fun to watch the football with the fans, so that you can fully appreciate the enthusiasm of the fans." Ma Keer said seriously.

"But there are often fanatical fans running naked on the court, aren't you afraid?" Pei Wei said with a smirk.

"Necrosis!" Marco beat him lightly and angrily said: "My head is full of dirty things!"

"Don't...don't fight, or I will be injured and miss the Asian Cup!" Pei Wei begged for mercy while avoiding Ma Keer's powder fist attack: "I was wrong, Keer..."

The two quarreled for a long time before they stopped, and Marco asked, "Which one is the first one? Where is it?"

"At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 13th, the opening match between Portugal and Greece, the Porto Fire Dragon Stadium." Pei Wei replied.

"Alright then, let's go! Portugal, here we come!" Marco raised her fist.

**********************************
At 13:03 on the afternoon of the 30th, there was already a long line of people at the entrance of the Porto Fire Dragon Stadium. Fans dressed in various decorations lined up to enter the stadium one by one.

"Wow, there are so many people." Marco exclaimed as soon as she got off the taxi, "We seem to be late."

Pei Wei shrugged his shoulders. There was no way. The first thing they did when they arrived in Porto was to find the hotel where they stayed. They didn't want to go home after watching the game like those local fans. But at this juncture, Porto is big and small. Almost all the hotels here are full, and they have been looking for a lot of places before they found a hotel with vacancies, and it is of course a bit late to come here now.

Just when Pei Wei was about to line up with Marco to enter the arena, Ma Ke suddenly pulled Pei Wei's sleeve, pointed to the front and asked, "Pei Wei, look at the tall man in front, why does his back look so familiar?" ah?"

Pei Wei also looked along Mar Ke'er's hand: "Hey, isn't that Wu Qi? Why is he the only one, where are the others? Who is the girl next to him? She's tall enough, almost as fast catch up with me."

"Go and have a look." Marco pulled Pei Wei and ran forward, Pei Wei said while running: "This kid, did you find a girlfriend quietly? It's amazing, a little You don’t leak your words, so you can be caught by me now!”

Marco jumped up and patted Wu Qi's shoulder from behind: "Hey! Wu Qi, what are you doing here?"

Wu Qi was obviously taken aback. When he turned his head, he happened to see Marco and Pei Wei standing beside him. His face blushed suddenly, and he said, "Uh...it's you, what a coincidence. ..."

Pei Wei smiled strangely: "Yeah... what a coincidence... I don't know who said last time that I value sex over friends, but he himself... tsk tsk tsk."

Wu Qi stuttered all of a sudden: "What... what, don't talk nonsense..."

Marco laughed beside him: "What nonsense, please introduce it to us."

The tall girl turned around and said, "Ke'er, long time no see."

"You are... Zhao... Zhao Xin!" Ma Ke'er hugged her immediately: "It's been a long time! I miss you so much! I have asked Yang Tiantian and the others many times, but I don't know where you have been! Don't contact me at all, do you still treat me as a younger sister!"

Seeing the two girls dancing and laughing together, Pei Wei swallowed, and pulled Wu Qi: "You can do it, and don't tell us when you meet Zhao Xin. It seems that you two have a good relationship." , I still haven’t taken it from the truth!”

"I only met her this year, in Manchester..." Wu Qi stammered the whole story, "...it just so happens that she is free now, so I went to ask her out to watch the European Cup. I didn't expect to meet her. you."

"Where are the five of them? They should have come here too, why didn't you see them, did they come in first?" Pei Weidong said looking around.

At the Algarve Stadium, Hu Yong, Zhang Qi, Du Wei, and Li Min were beating Zhu Jun in the middle: "Didn't you say you could get the tickets for the opening game? Why did you only get this game? It's not trustworthy." guy!"

Zhu Jun covered his head: "I don't know anyone from the Portuguese national team... I asked Reyes for these five tickets... Oh, stop playing, I was wrong..."
