There is a belief called football

Chapter 362 Meeting an Idol
At the end of the game, Li Qiao ran to the bench to find "Pirlo". Pirlo is Li Qiao's idol. Li Qiao grew up watching "Pirlo" play football. "Pirlo" is like a hero on the court.

"Sleeping Skin" squinted his eyes and smiled at Li Qiao, then took off his jersey and handed it to Li Qiao, "Thank you", Li Qiao deliberately said in Italian, but unexpectedly, "Pirlo" replied "Thank you" to Li Qiao in half-baked Chinese.

At the end of the game, Klopp found "Allegri" and shook hands, and then he squatted down and touched the lawn. This is a habit of Klopp. The result of this game is not bad. He wants to thank this field.

While the players from the two sides were exchanging jerseys and chatting with each other, a pair of eyes in the stands were staring at Li Qiao. He was wearing sunglasses, and his high collar covered half of his face. After retiring, he rarely went to the field to watch football. Instead, he lived a hunting life in the jungles of South America. Yes, he was the "Baggio" who used to play for Juventus, and sitting next to him was the Juventus chairman "Giuseppe Marotta".

"I think that No. 9 is really good, you should consider buying him," Baggio said.

Marotta laughed: "Robert, you have been abroad for a long time, and you may not be familiar with the European football market. This No. 9 is not easy to buy."

"What? Looks young",
"It is very young, but the current players are different from your era. There are many players who debuted at the age of 20 or [-], and they are basically playing the main force in the league by the age of [-]."

"Yes, I remember that when I transferred to Juventus, it was worth more than 1000 million U.S. dollars. Now I should be worth 5000 million euros," Baggio said.

"Hehe, it may be more than that, you are the world's football player, you should refer to Ronaldo's price."

Baggio chuckled: "Okay, I'll go first, don't be recognized."

"By the way, that number 9 is said to be your fan."

Hearing this sentence, Baggio stopped, "Really? When I retired, he was just in the youth training, and he even knew me"?
"Oh, Robert, you are too modest",
This is actually not the modesty of "Baggio". Football 20 years ago is really different from what it is now. Now football has truly become a global sport, while football 20 years ago was very localized. Baggio played for Italian teams throughout his career. This is basically unimaginable in today's world football.

"It is said that his name and your name are pronounced the same in Chinese," Marotta said.

Baggio is a very curious person, this sentence aroused his interest, "I want to meet him, can you arrange it"?
Marotta chuckled, "How about meeting in the VIP box?"
"Okay, see you at the old place."

*****
"Mr. Marotta, forgive me, if you want to poach Li Qiao, then I advise you to give up," Klopp said.

"What? You don't believe me"?
"Of course I don't believe it. Baggio wants to see Li Qiao? Who would believe this crazy reason?" Klopp thought.

"Jurgen, do you think a club like Juventus will tell you first if they want to poach Li Qiao?"
This makes sense, "Klopp" came to his senses, "I'm sorry, Mr. Marotta, I will help you arrange it."

*****
"What, Baggio wants to see me"?
"Hehe, do you also think this reason is ridiculous?"Klopp asked with a smile.

But Li Qiao rushed out of the locker room without hearing what "Klopp" said. When he got to the door, he realized that he hadn't asked where the meeting was, so he returned to the locker room.

"Where"?
"VIP Box 2", Klopp said.

*****
When Li Qiao came to the No. 2 box, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a person facing the floor-to-ceiling windows in front and looking out at the stadium. From the back, Li Qiao knew that it was Baggio. Perhaps there is no one in the world whose back is so famous.

"Robert," Li Qiao called softly.

The middle-aged man in front of him slowly turned around. He smiled, and his eyes were still as blue as the Mediterranean Sea.

"My English is not very good," Baggio said.

"My Italian sucks too," Li Qiao said.

"Marotta" saw the look of the two meeting each other, and walked away automatically, not forgetting to close the door of the box when leaving.

"Sit down, would you like some brandy"?asked Baggio.

Li Qiao nodded.

Li Qiao took a sip of the wine glass handed over by Baggio, after which the conversation between the two gradually opened up.

Li Qiao told Baggio the origin of his name, and Baggio was very moved after hearing this. He did not expect that he had so many supporters in distant China 20 years ago.

"Can you say our two names separately in Chinese?" (Actually, this foreigner is different from us Chinese. Baggio is a surname, but we Chinese are used to calling it that way).

Li Qiao said it separately.

Baggio said in surprise: "It seems to be really similar."

Li Qiao nodded excitedly.

"Have you thought about coming to Juventus to play?" Baggio asked.

This Li Qiao has never thought about it, and now Serie A is going downhill, but in front of the idol, Li Qiao still said: "Maybe I will consider it in the future."

Baggio saw it, and he said humorously: "Forget it, the pace of Serie A is too slow now. To be honest, I have the urge to make a new debut. With the pace of Serie A, I might still score goals."

Li Qiao laughed, "I think it's okay."

Ba Qiao felt that he and Li Qiao hit it off right away, so he took out his mobile phone and wanted to leave a call with Li Qiao.When Baggio took out his mobile phone, Li Qiao almost laughed out loud, because Baggio still used a "Motorola" flip phone, which was still seen 5 years ago, but is now considered an antique.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm not used to the current mobile phone",
Li Qiao couldn't hold back his smile. He told Baggio his phone number and exchanged phone numbers with Baggio.

"Can you be my master"?But what Li Qiao used was the word "mentor" in English, which Baggio couldn't understand because it meant a tutor in college, but Baggio nodded politely.

Li Qiao was very happy. He had a lot of questions about football in his heart and wanted to ask Baggio. Of course not now. It is always bad to ask others to ask questions when they meet for the first time.

"Let me treat you to dinner," Baggio said.

"No, I have to go back to the team."
Because the league will start again three days after the end of the Champions League in midweek, Klopp decided to return home immediately.

Baggio expressed his understanding, "Actually, I like my current life very much. I don't need to worry about weekend games anymore, and I don't need to deliberately maintain my weight. I can eat whatever I want."

After the two chatted for a few more words, Li Qiao left. As a professional player, he couldn't help himself. Before leaving, Baggio and Li Qiao hugged each other affectionately.

*****
When he arrived at the airport, "Klopp" got a bad news-because of the heavy snow, the flight was cancelled, and he will fly tomorrow morning.

"What"? "Klopp" was in a hurry because the hotel had already checked out. In an international metropolis like Turin, it was not easy for more than 20 people to find a suitable hotel at night.

"What to do", Klopp asked "Bovac".

"The old way",
"That's the only way to go," Klopp said.

The old method that Buvac said was to set up a tent at the airport for the night. As a professional team in the South and North, it is common to encounter flight delays, so the team has already prepared plans.

Everyone was divided into tents, three people in one tent, Li Qiao, "Weidenfeller", and Kagawa Shinji lived together.

After setting up the tent, Li Qiao and "Weidenfeller" didn't want to sleep yet, so the three chatted together.

"Roman, you are really good, I was really afraid that you would not be able to persist",
"Weidenfeller" smiled slightly, and turned the phone over to Li Qiao. "Shinji Kagawa" looked at it. It turned out that there were already videos of the "good guy" PS "Weidenfeller" conceding the ball on the Internet. There were all kinds of them, and of course they were all jokes.

"Don't pay attention to them, these people will make sarcastic remarks," Li Qiao said.

"Joe, you'd better win me a Champions League this season, and then I'll upload a photo of kissing the Champions League trophy, and then add a text - see, idiots"?
Li Qiao, Kagawa Shinji chuckled, Li Qiao nodded, "Let's work together."

"Kagawa, I kicked you out in the Asian Cup, did you cry?"
Shinji Kagawa chuckled: "Roman, may I suggest the two of us kick Li Qiao out of the tent?"
"I agree," said "Weidenfeller".

Li Qiao raised his hand in surrender, saying that he would no longer make fun of his teammates.

"I heard you saw Baggio," Shinji Kagawa asked.

"right",
"Still so handsome"? "Weidenfeller" asked.

"I feel so",
"Back then, he was the man most wanted to marry by German women selected by "Kicker" magazine," Weidenfeller said.

"There is still such a selection"?Shinji Kagawa asked.

"Yes, there are still, remember last year's champion was the captain",
"Hummels"?Li Qiao asked.

"certainly",
"Am I on the list"?Shinji Kagawa asked.

"No, you are too short, German women don't like short ones",
Shinji Kagawa kicked "Weidenfeller", making "Weidenfeller", Li Qiao laughed.

"Do German women like to be melancholy? I found that the captain, like Baggio, always looks worried in his eyes," Li Qiao asked.

"how could I know",
Shinji Kagawa objected: "There are a lot of funny fans like Muller."

"But Muller is also very charming when he is not smiling. There are also many female fans in China who like Muller. How about in Japan?"
"In Japan, people still like Hummels more," Kagawa said.

The three chatted nonsense like this, and suddenly "Weidenfeller" stopped talking. Li Qiao and Shinji Kagawa saw that they had fallen asleep leaning on the luggage.

"Okay, let's sleep too," Li Qiao said.

　I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year, and we will continue our football journey next year
