Golden Greenery

Although Nimes is a small city, it is still somewhat famous.

Nimes is located in the south of France, just over 300 kilometers away from Barcelona. His neighbors are Marseille and Montpellier. Nîmes is a sunny city, with more than 300 sunny days every year.

Milan's rainy climate is like a poet, always floating with a trace of passion; Barcelona is a city of forests, revealing mystery and depth. The sunshine in Nimes is like an unrestrained painter, rendering the love of sunshine to its fullest.

On this leisurely Christmas Eve, Zhuo Yang and Montolivo did not have to rush for time. They strolled on the streets of the small town of Nimes, like two unknown tourists in the sun.

The second brother's contract with AC Milan has been negotiated, but it is a very strange contract.

AC Milan did not want to bear the second brother's annual after-tax salary of 7 million, but Inter Milan did not want to spend a large amount of money to let their neighbors enjoy themselves. The two families did not negotiate a rental contract, but signed a formal transfer agreement. But the date is not in the upcoming winter window.

The second brother Ricardo Montolivo transferred to AC Milan for 32 million. The agreement officially came into effect on January 1, 2010, but the second brother had to wait until July 1, half a year later, to leave for AC Milan. During this period, he was an AC Milan player, but played in Inter Milan, still earning an annual salary of 7 million.

Half a year later, the second brother's annual salary at AC Milan will become 4 million. Although the salary in Serie A is absolutely high, it obviously cannot satisfy the second brother. Meng Er believes that he deserves a salary of 8 million or even 10 million.

However, the second brother chose to accept it, because the situation was compelling and the World Cup was coming, and he could not tolerate arguing with them anymore.

In fact, this agreement is equivalent to the transfer of Brother Meng to AC Milan on January 1, but A Milan will loan him to Inter Milan for half a season for free, and Inter Milan will bear the full salary of his existing contract. The key point is that Inter Milan promises to ensure that the second brother will play in at least 15 games in the second half of the season, regardless of starting or substituting.

Competition opportunities are what the second brother values ​​most now.

In the five-year contract with AC Milan, the second brother did not have a clause that the annual salary would increase proportionally year by year. However, with the insistence of Fatty and the second brother, an additional fee was added that any team could buy him from AC Milan for 35 million. terms.

Both Milans are talking nonsense about this agreement. They clearly showed the hesitation of wanting to sell but not wanting to sell, wanting to buy but not wanting to buy. This is not the style of a wealthy club at all. Inter Milan seems to be holding a piece of chicken ribs in its mouth, and AC Milan seems to be panicking after the failure of signings in the summer.

All unusually amateurish.

The second brother is in the same year as Zhuo Yang, and his birthday is in January, which is older. The second brother before the age of 24 was amazing. He was the best in Serie A and the golden boy in Europe. He was once the first of the four promising stars of the new generation of Italy.

But the 24-year-old second brother was decadent, annihilating everyone like countless meteors, and the lamentations of hurt Zhongyong croaked over the Apennines.

But there are still people who have full confidence in the second brother, brothers, including the second brother himself, and Roberto Baggio.

In fact, it is not that no team is interested in Meng Er. Bayern, Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid have all waved olive branches to the second brother. The conditions are also good, and the second brother is indeed attracted. However, under Baggio's persuasion, Meng Er decided to stick to Italy and share life and death with Apennine.

Because Baggio believes that bottlenecks exist, he has experienced them; because Baggio believes that Meng Er will definitely break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly, he has seen it; because Baggio is unwilling to let Italian football lose its flag again, he has been sad.

Baggio is my second brother’s idol, his only idol!

Baggio's faith and his second brother's persistence left the last local flag for Italy and eventually became a legend. The absurdity of AC Milan and Inter Milan will make them the laughing stock of football in the future.

Meng Er not only encountered a bottleneck in football, he also didn't write poetry for a long time. After receiving the bachelor's degree in literature, it seemed that the slightest bit of passion had been emptied out of his body, and he could no longer sing a word.

In the past, there were times when I couldn't sing, but my second brother always plagiarized the past and adapted it to the present. The second brother said, this is called learning from others! Can the thing about a poet be called stealing?

But now, he has no emotion even if he wants to steal.

When brothers are together, although they all say that the second brother is the most "sexy", in fact everyone knows that the most showy is Zhuo Yang. The second brother is the most "fairy" among the brothers, very elegant and refined, and he also looks down on the vulgar the most. thing. It's hard for my brothers to say that he's showing off, so they can only say that he's coquettish.

He fell in love with many girls at first sight and then separated again and again. It was not because the second brother always fell in love and finally gave up. It was because after the initial passionate love, the girls soon became tacky, which made the second brother very disappointed.

The second brother picks up girls, drinks, is lustful, and fights, but he is a good man. It's very important that he was never a layman.

Nîmes is known as "Little Rome". It was a city-state that emerged during the ancient Roman period. Many ancient Roman-style buildings are still preserved in the city.

The Arena of Nîmes is the best-preserved ancient Roman arena in the world. Although it is not large, it has lasted for a long time. It still hosts bullfights, operas, or other ceremonies from time to time.

Now is not the season for traveling. Zhuoyang and his second brother followed the sporadic tourists and walked into this ancient building. The oval-shaped arena is majestic and elegant. When you walk in it, the running footsteps of gladiators and the screams of wild beasts still seem to echo in your ears.

When you stand quietly in the stands, you will see that two thousand years of ups and downs have left countless erosion marks on the stone steps. Parts of the walls have also collapsed, but the ruins are still standing tall, but its oval shape is beautiful. Still infinitely attractive.

Like other places of interest around the world, many of the weathered stones of the Arena contain 'authentic artifacts' from visitors of different ages, covering all languages.

In addition to most of them being "come here for a visit" and the like, there are also some confessions like "Tracy, I love you", and some poor poems that are inspired by feelings.

"Zhuoyang, come and take a look here, it seems you speak Chinese, right?" The second brother waved to him.

Not surprising, not surprising at all! It’s no secret that Chinese people love to leave words everywhere. Didn’t you see that famous rivers and mountains in various parts of the motherland have been engraved by literati of all ages, and there is even a drop of monkey urine on the fingertips of Tathagata Buddha.

Zhuo Yang walked over and took a closer look: Oh, it’s really Chinese.

It's on the side of the steps of the circular corridor, and the contrast is very neat. I always have the heart of a spectator, but I am the actor in the play!

I don’t know which compatriot suddenly felt something here for some reason or remembered something. With a wave of his hand, he left these 14 words with a key or something else.

"What do you mean? Read it to me." The second brother became interested.

"The heart is always the heart of the spectator, but the people are the characters in the play." The text is simple and easy to understand, and understanding it does not require reading knowledge or any knowledge.

I originally looked at the world with a detached and detached attitude, but I could never really see it clearly. Because he is the one in the game and cannot stay out of it.

Zhuo Yang didn't know who the original author of this line, tentatively called a poem, was, or that the author was the Chinese tourist who didn't know the year, month, or gender, but the chicken soup flavor of this line was very strong, and he was already used to it.

You hate chicken soup, and you resent the preaching of chicken soup, just because you lack a spoon in your heart that can drink chicken soup.

"Second brother, I'm not telling you. There must be a hundred or two hundred lines of words in it, and this one is in Chinese. When it comes to quality, it's the same all over the damn world. Who dares to say that we Chinese tourists are of the same quality? Low? As a human being, if you have double standards, you will be struck by lightning. Besides, look at what nonsense you Europeans have carved, or our Chinese guys are a bit good, at least the confrontation is neat, this is called What? Culture! Tsk tsk, look at this iron hook and silver paddle, my buddy has practiced Slim Gold..."

I tried to smooth things over for a long time, but I didn't see the second brother's mouth open to respond. When I turned my head to look, Meng Er was looking up at the sky in a daze. Under the setting sun, the second brother is like a quiet mountain rock.
