Fox in the Penalty Area

"Fox in the Forbidden Zone"

Although Han Shuyu is an uploader who shoots football vlogs, she actually does not go to watch every game and record videos.

Most of the time, she is like an ordinary fan, choosing to watch the game on TV or online.

Only in a few games will she go to watch the game and take videos simultaneously.

This is because she is an international student after all, and her main job is to study. She does not have so much spare time to follow the home team everywhere like a professional football reporter.

On the other hand, the various expenses for watching football are actually a huge burden for her.

Han Shuyu, who lives in an ordinary family, is not a rich second generation, so she does not have a strong financial foundation to support her hobby of hosting.

The cost of watching football, not to mention various transportation expenses, is not cheap just for the ticket price.

Taking her home team Madrid Kings as an example, the ticket prices for each game are different.

After all, some games are important and some games are useless. The El Clasico between Madrid Kings and Catalan United cannot be sold for the same price as the Madrid Kings and newly promoted teams.

It's an unpopular game, and if the location is bad, the tickets will basically cost more than 300 yuan.

If you catch up with the El Clasico, the Madrid derby, or the heavyweight Champions League game, the tickets can be sold for thousands of yuan.

Due to financial reasons, there are not many videos of Han Shuyu going to watch games live.

I have been studying in Spain for a year, and I have been a host for a year. I only have 11 football vlogs - two of which are related to Hulay, one is a video of Hulay's physical examination, and the other is about Hulay's time in Madrid Pirates Watching video of the first show.

If she wasn't really beautiful and cute, she wouldn't have nearly 200,000 fans based on her output.

The only thing that makes her happy is that her fans are very loyal.

After watching her videos, everyone was willing to click and follow her. Then, after Han Shuyu suddenly updated a video by chance, everyone went to the barrage to celebrate: "The missing person is back!"

In the past two days, Han Shuyu has almost crashed several mainstream ticketing websites, hoping to grab tickets for the Madrid Pirates' home game against Valero, no matter what position they are in, as long as they have tickets.

but no.

Sold out in seconds every time.

She knows that Madrid Pirates fans are known for their fanaticism and loyalty to the team. The home attendance at Pirates Park is not only the best in La Liga, but also among the best in Europe.

But Madrid Pirates' games are usually not so exaggerated.

After all, their opponent is a small team that is not very strong, and they are not playing games like Madrid Kings, Catalonia United, or Valentia and Navigators.

So there will always be some loose votes flowing out.

As a result, tickets for this game were so tight.

This is mostly related to Hu Lai's performance in the last round of the league against Navigators away from home.

A hat trick as a substitute!

All of a sudden, the appetite of all Madrid Pirates fans was whetted, making everyone want to go and witness Hulay's first home game after joining the Pirates.

Tickets for Madrid Pirates' home games, where tickets are rarely sold, have become even more difficult to get.

Many people want to be closer to history as it happens.

The same is true for Han Shuyu.

If she can't go to watch the game in person, but can only watch the game through TV broadcast like the last game. Then she would feel so uncomfortable that she wouldn't even want to shoot a vlog...

This is unbelievable. As a Madrid Kings fan, this is the first time she is so eager to go to Pirates Park to watch a game.

And she used to,

But I won’t go to Madrid Pirates’ home game at all. Even if it's a Madrid derby, she only watches it at the Crown Stadium.

Now she is willing to go to the Pirates home game to watch the game, but God does not give her a chance...

Looking at the enthusiastic messages in the barrage and comment area that expected her to watch the game live, Han Shuyu pouted and frowned.

I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone...

"Ahhh! It's so annoying! It's so annoying!"

Han Shuyu threw the phone aside and rolled on the bed wailing.

Just then her cell phone rang.

A call came in.

It was a Chinese student friend she met in Madrid.

"Han Shuyu, have you grabbed the ticket?"

As soon as the call was connected, the other party asked straight to the point.

Han Shuyu said depressedly: "Listen to my voice, do you think it sounds like I'm grabbing a ticket?"

The other party smiled: "I grabbed the ticket."

Han Shuyu's eyes widened: "I'm Ba'ao... have you bought the ticket?!"

But she quickly came back to her senses: "But what does this have to do with me... Are you here specifically to show off to me, Li Qingliang?"

Li Qingliang is Han Shuyu's friend, but not a friend in the ordinary sense.

At least in football terms, they weren't friends. Because Han Shuyu is a die-hard Madrid Kings fan, and Li Qingliang is a Madrid Pirates fan.

The two would argue endlessly when it came to football.

So Han Shuyu could usually go shopping with Li Qingliang, looking for delicious food in the streets and alleys of Madrid, and eat until he was full.

But we just can’t talk about football together.

Therefore, Li Qingliang only appeared occasionally in Han Shuyu's life vlog, but completely disappeared from his football watching vlog.

In order to avoid becoming friends, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to talk about football.

The Pirates of Madrid and the Kings of Madrid are mortal enemies in an absolute sense, and this hatred even exceeds that of the Kings of Madrid and the Catalan United.

For Madrid people, choosing between the Kings of Madrid or the Pirates of Madrid means their beliefs and family origins, as well as the class you are in.

Chinese fans don’t have to be so serious, and the reasons for supporting their respective teams are also different.

But after coming to Madrid, Spain, and being exposed to the local football culture, I will be affected to some extent.

Together they became angry with the same enemy.

"No, I want to give this ticket to you."

Han Shuyu was stunned: "Eh? Huh? This...are you crazy?!"

"You are crazy!"

"Then why did you give me the ticket?"

"Because I want a Kings fan who says he will never go to Pirates Park to watch Pirates home games!"

Han Shuyu heard Li Qingliang's uncontrollable laughter coming from the phone, and then the laughter turned into a bad smile: "Han Shuyu, didn't you say you would never go to Pirates Park to watch football in your life?"

"Ah, damn it!"

"So you don't want the tickets?"

"No! I want it! I want to watch the game live! But I'm not going to cheer for the Pirates, I'm going to cheer for Hu Lai!"

Han Shuyu was defeated in the end and raised her hands in surrender. Of course, she still struggled with her mouth.

After hanging up the phone, Han Shuyu lay on the bed for a while, then suddenly jumped up and punched the ceiling.

She can finally witness history up close!

As for the half-hearted words about Madrid Kings fans never going to Pirates Park in this life, just pretend she never said it!

※※※

At eight o'clock in the morning on Saturday, August 21, Han Shuyu came to a street carrying his bag and the mobile phone he used to shoot videos.

There is a four-star hotel on the corner of this street that looks unremarkable.

With its off-white walls and square shape, it looks no different from the buildings in residential areas in downtown Madrid.

But this hotel called Aurora has an extraordinary status in the hearts of Madrid Pirates fans.

Because this is the hotel where the Madrid Pirates team stays before every home game.

Of course, if it's just a hotel where you stay for one night before the game, it's not a big deal.

But what makes this hotel special is a tradition of the Madrid Pirates team:

On the morning of every home match day, Madrid Pirates players and coaches will file out of the hotel lobby, walk along the street for about twenty or thirty meters, and then turn right to have breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

After finishing their meal, they walked out of the restaurant and returned to the hotel lobby.

In fact, the hotel lobby and restaurant are interconnected, so they don't have to go around the hotel to go to the restaurant.

They do this because it is a necessary procedure for the team to maintain a close relationship with the fans - the fans will wait here in advance to greet their heroes.

The players will also meet the fans' requests for autographs and photos on the way back from the meal.

This is a good tradition that enhances the relationship between fans and players and unites the player team's sense of honor.

Every player can feel the fans' love for them up close here.

And fans can also satisfy their desire to chase stars.

Han Shuyu has known this tradition for a long time, and this is the only thing she thinks the Pirates of Madrid do better than the Kings of Madrid.

The Kings of Madrid actually have a similar tradition. For example, on the morning of every match day, several players will be arranged to attend a fan meeting, sit together, and let the fans line up to sign autographs.

But Han Shuyu still feels that the approach of the Madrid Pirates is more intimate, and all members are present, unlike the Madrid Kings who select a few players. If you don't draw the player you like, it's a wasted trip.

However, as a fan of the Madrid Kings, it was impossible for Han Shuyu to participate in the traditional activities of the Madrid Pirates.

So no matter how well the Madrid Pirates tradition is done, it has nothing to do with Han Shuyu.

Now Han Shuyu can finally experience the pirate tradition openly, because she is not only tasked with shooting vlogs, but also here to cheer up Hu Lai!

Han Shuyu thought she had arrived early enough, but when she arrived, many fans had already gathered on the street. The hotel security used special railings to separate a passage from the sidewalk.

This passage will soon be the "road" walked by Madrid Pirates players and coaches.

Fans will wait outside the railings.

There were already many people beside the railing. Han Shuyu quickly found an opening and stood in the first row next to the railing.

Then the wait begins.

While waiting, she did not forget to use her mobile phone to record everything she saw and heard, and added commentary to introduce Madrid's football culture to the audience at Station B.

Then she noticed that among the people waiting here, there were obviously many more faces with black hair and yellow skin.

No need to ask, these people must be here for Hu Lai.

After all, this is Hulay's first home game after joining Madrid Pirates.

Han Shuyu greedily recorded everything he saw with the lens of his mobile phone.

She felt as if she were an ancient historian, recording the history she had experienced in the form of mobile phone videos.

Suddenly there was a strong sense of mission.

At the same time, there is a sense of crisis - what if the phone runs out of battery at the critical moment? !

She decided to take out the power bank and charge her phone.

Just as she was hurriedly searching for a power bank in her backpack, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and someone whispered excitedly:

"They're out!"

Han Shuyu continued to look for the power bank while looking up towards the hotel door.

A fat old man with gray hair walked out of the door first. That was Ettore Parotti, the Italian head coach of the Pirates.

Behind him, all the players from Madrid Pirates filed out!
