Midfielder

"It's this stadium. I was picked up by you from here. I still have the business card you gave me. To be honest, you really looked like a weird uncle who came here to abduct children."

In a street stadium in Setúbal, the evening sunset was covering this place that no one cared about, but in the simple stands, there were three guys dressed like tourists sitting quietly.

"Don't talk about me. Do you know what I was thinking when I saw you for the first time? I was thinking, is it this guy dressed as a waiter who killed the youth team of Sporting Lisbon? I really doubted the authenticity of that incident, but I believed in my eyes. Your performance conquered me."

There is no need to introduce more. The three tourists in the stands are Mendes, Lin Yi and Mourinho, who just ended a crazy season and started their vacation.

Two uncles who have always been considered a little wretched by Lin Yi, plus a little lunatic recognized by the opponent, what a weird combination, but those reporters who tried to dig some news from them, never thought that these three people would return to Setúbal to relax themselves when the World Cup was approaching.

In fact, these three guys were still doing their own thing two weeks ago, and it was just luck that they met.

After the game, Lin Yi flew to the United States to accompany Selina for two weeks. He turned off his mobile phone and refused all interviews. Even Scolari, who was clamoring to start the World Cup training, couldn't find him.

The stubborn old man even threatened to give Lin Yi a good beating after he returned to the team, but in the eyes of outsiders, this was just a gesture of Scolari to maintain his authority. Everyone knows that this stubborn old guy can't do without Lin Yi now, otherwise he wouldn't be so furious.

If Portugal wants to achieve good results in the World Cup, it may really rely on this kid's on-the-spot performance.

This is the first time in the past two years that Lin Yi has not trained, has not had too many business activities, and has a full-hearted vacation. So after leaving the United States, he chose to return to the long-lost Sebatul, the place where he went to professional football.

It's just that he had a bit of a sensation during this vacation, a pair of gossip men and women, one is a little lunatic who has already begun to become a superstar in the football world, and the other is a star with a thriving acting career.

Apart from these two little guys, if he could "accidentally" meet a more famous little witch during the holidays, not to mention American entertainment gossip, the whole of Europe might pay attention to Lin Yi's news.

For two weeks, Lin Yi was really miserable. The triangle may be the most stable structure, but for a relationship between a man and a woman, it can definitely cause one of them to collapse.

For example, Lin Yi now, when two gentle eyes are staring at him, only God will think that it is a lucky performance. Lin Yi may really want to ask the almighty Lord who he has offended.

Fortunately, the little jealousy did not explode, and the little witch who seduced people for fun did not go too far. Perhaps this ambiguous attitude will continue.

Just like Mendes said, "You are not yet nineteen years old, why are you in a hurry? You have just met a woman. Wait, maybe there will be more and more ambiguities in the future, I promise you."

Well, Lin Yi can only pray that in the future, his face should stay away from seducing things, otherwise, his suffering days are still to come.

Mourinho also spent a vacation with his family, but he didn't choose those famous resorts.

Sometimes returning to your hometown may make it easier for people to relax, especially after a season that seems to be crazy to the extreme. Even an iron man needs to take a breath.

But his relaxation is limited. Kenyon is thinking about adding bricks and tiles to the team, and those players who can no longer play as the main players are also seeking to leave.

Maybe after these two weeks of relaxation, Mourinho will have to make early plans for Chelsea's next season in addition to paying attention to the World Cup.

Chelsea will face greater pressure after defending the Champions League. When you are the winner, don't expect that there will be no pursuers behind you, and the higher you are, the more you can feel that victory is hard-won.

There is no need to say much about Mendes. His work focus is Lin Yi and the stars under him.

For a big-name agent like him, having a vacation is the same thing as not having one. However, Lin Yi returned to Portugal just because he had a contract to sign, so he came back on the way.

After two years away, when these three people return to their starting point, they can find out how far they have come on this road.

Lin Yi and Mendes are both recalling their first encounter in Cebatul. A street football game without rules allowed a wild boy to reach the pinnacle of international football from this inconspicuous small town. And don't forget that he is still climbing and it is far from time to stop and rest.

This is a wonderful moment. Lin Yi left a six-figure check to the orphanage where he lived. It was the Champions League bonus given by Abramovich.

Mendes signed two more promising newcomers from the Cebatul youth team. Mendes knew that the ability of these two little guys was not enough to gain a foothold in the Portuguese Super League, and they were not comparable to Lin Yi, but this place was like his lucky place. Who knows what will happen in the future.

Maybe, just maybe, maybe one day, there will be another black-haired little guy on the court here, just like this little madman in front of him, galloping on the European court.

Who could have predicted everything two or three years ago? Mendes would not have thought that he had become the richest football agent in the world, Lin Yi would not have thought that he could defend the Champions League, and Mourinho would not have thought that he had won two Premier League titles and three Champions Leagues.

Sometimes, many things will not go according to your ideas, but what you can control is yourself, and you can do everything you can to accomplish what you want to do.

"God, the old guy, always likes to make others live ups and downs." Lin Yi breathed the familiar air and stretched his body. He didn't know what opponents would become obstacles in the future.

But he knew that from the day that Sebatul walked out, his life was destined to be rewritten by himself, and on the football field, he would write his own glorious moments.

Just like conquering those opponents in the Champions League, who said he had no pursuit? He still has the World Cup, the European Cup, and various challenges waiting for him.

"I'm only 19 years old, I still have many championships to win. Maybe in a dozen years, I will come back here and enjoy life quietly, but before that, I have to go crazy to kill those opponents!"

"Mom, I hope you and that guy are doing well in heaven. Don't worry about me. I am very happy with football..."

Some stories have to continue, but they are just temporarily over. . .

The arrogant boy with black hair is still walking on his own football road. . .
