Chapter 037 The next stop - the 2018 World Cup in Russia

The day after winning the Europa League trophy, the Atalanta team had a good tour of Lyon before returning to the Bergamo region on the club's newly equipped private jet Falcon 9X.

However, the exclusive rights of this Falcon 9X belong to the Lanzhao Group. You can guess that this must be the work of Li Ruolan. In view of the fact that the exclusive aircraft was equipped for the club when he was in Portugal, when Li Zhao arrived here

Naturally, it cannot fall down. However, although the previous modified transport aircraft was good in terms of safety, the comfort level was obviously not good. As for the openable rear cabin set up for skydiving, it did not have much practical significance. Therefore, after some careful research,

After careful selection, we decided on this latest high-end business jet developed and designed by Dassault of France.

While retaining many of the excellent factors of its predecessor, including safety, it has increased the thrust of the engine by 5%. Coupled with the optimized wing design, it not only saves a lot of fuel consumption, but also greatly enhances long-range endurance. And

Because Li Ruolan needed to renovate the cabin space so that it could accommodate the professional customization required by all members of the club's expedition, the delivery time was delayed. It was not until a few days ago that the goods were successfully picked up and used for the first time on the return trip today.

The Atalanta team, which had just returned to Bergamo, was welcomed by the fans and celebrated with them for a whole day before stopping. After that, the club announced the decision to take a leave of absence for all members. So far, the players have been suspended this season.

The club's history has officially come to an end.

Everyone else had already gone on vacation at this time, but the journey of Li Zhao and his cousin Leonard was not over yet. After only a week's rest at home, they had to set off again, and the next stop was to be in June.

The World Cup journey is about to begin.

Li Zhao is now a father, and his second child is expected to be born soon after his World Cup journey ends, so he made a special trip to visit Min Xiaoyan before departure.

"Xiao Zhao, I don't know what's going on, but recently I suddenly like to eat sour food." Min Xiaoyan said as she snuggled into Li Zhao's arms, but her expression didn't seem to be that happy.

"Oh! I heard that pregnant women who love eating sour foods have a high chance of giving birth to a boy, but you don't seem to be very happy. Could it be that you don't like boys?" Li Zhao, who was paying close attention to her, naturally said that he would give birth to a boy.

He had a panoramic view of every move, and he vaguely guessed some of what she was thinking, and then asked questions.

"No, I like both boys and girls, but although I don't care personally, I can feel that Sister Lan cares about her very much. Even if she doesn't say it, she is born in a big family.

She will be affected by this concept to some extent, so she will be a little disappointed because of it." Although Min Xiaoyan's mentality is much simpler than that of the others around Li Zhao, she also has little thoughts about women.

Men Qing, coupled with her trust in Li Zhao, naturally expressed everything she felt in her heart without reservation.

"Well~, you should be overthinking, Lan'er is not who you think. But your reminder is not wrong, because I have indeed neglected her feelings during the frequent competitions during this period. Of course, I will accompany you and

The other sisters also have little time. After I finish this World Cup journey, I will come back as soon as possible to accompany you." Li Zhao did not deny the worries Min Xiaoyan said, but he was concerned about Li Ruolan's

In some respects, she understands better and believes that she can adjust to it even without my own guidance, but I will never take it lightly because of this, but I am just not in a hurry at this moment.

In contrast, he was more concerned about Min Xiaoyan's current situation. Just looking at the clock on the wall, he understood that he could no longer stay any longer, so he kissed her forehead tenderly, and then personally promised: "Wait for me

When you come back, I will definitely arrive before you give birth and accompany you personally."

After leaving Min Xiaoyan's room, Li Zhao greeted everyone else in the family one by one, including Li Ruolan. Li Zhao noticed that Min Xiaoyan was in good spirits, so he did not tell Min Xiaoyan what he had just said.

I mentioned the issues raised at this time and planned to solve them together after I come back this time.

In addition to his family members, the next people Li Zhao wanted to greet were naturally his closest friends, including Wang Ziyi and Dana. But before Li Zhao could find them, these few

The good brothers made an appointment to find him together, and accompanied brothers Li Zhao and Leonard to the airport. Everyone exchanged many emotional words on the way.

"To be honest, I'm a little jealous of you two brothers. After all, you two still have a national team honor to win, and now we are about to play in the World Cup, but we people can't even think about it. According to

With all the mysterious operations of those people in the country, they don’t know how long it will take before they can once again achieve their goal of breaking out of Asia." The prince looked at the Li Zhao brothers with envy and envy.

"Don't say that. Although you and I are not related by blood, we are still good brothers who have a strong relationship. Although it seems that we have something you envy, it also comes at the cost of losing something. But to be honest

, I’m really not used to not being around you all!” Li Zhao would not let him get used to it, so he directly retorted.

"That's right! Let's talk about your Portuguese goalkeeper. Although he does have a few brushes, there is no gate guarded by me that can make you feel at ease, right?" Dana followed it as if he was following the stick.

Let's talk about it.

When the two Li Zhao brothers heard this, they both nodded in rare agreement, but then fell into silence.

After a while, Li Zhao suddenly said as if he had made up his mind: "Actually, you don't need to be disappointed. I believe that you will not have to wait too long and you will have the opportunity to experience the World Cup."

"Brother Zhao, what do you mean~?" Wang Ziyi seemed to have vaguely guessed something from the information revealed in his words, but asked uncertainly, while the other brothers were somewhat confused, but looking at

Xiang Li Zhao's eyes also revealed this kind of doubt.

"It's not convenient to disclose it now, but you will understand it sooner or later. This day may come soon, or it may have to wait for a while." Although Li Zhao already has a complete set of relevant execution plans, he now

I can only give a somewhat vague answer in terms of the concept of time. After all, there are still too many uncertain factors in the future. Some things cannot be determined exactly what the next step will be until a certain amount of time and intensity. However, he is a person.

A person who practices what he preaches.

The other companions present are all people who have known Li Zhao since the earliest Asian Youth Championship, and then worked together in South America for more than three years, and finally came here. In terms of the tacit understanding between them,

There was no need to say more, everyone naturally understood what he meant, and no one bothered about this issue anymore. After that, they just talked about some memories of each other and looked forward to the future, until the moment before they both boarded the plane.

A reluctant farewell to each other.

After a two-hour flight, the Li Zhao brothers appeared on the streets of Lisbon, which they were quite familiar with. Afterwards, Li Zhao accompanied his cousin back to his uncle's house, but they did not stay there for long before they returned again.

Set off and head straight to the Portuguese national team’s base, which is not far from home.

The two of them arrived neither too early nor too late. At this time, more than half of the players in the national team were already in place. After the reports, they finally returned to this place that was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

among the team.

He is said to be familiar because of this place and most of the familiar players, but there are also the departures of old players such as Ricardo Carvalho and Nani; while he is said to be unfamiliar because of the appearance of some new faces.

The most representative ones are Ricardo Pereira among the defenders, the rising star Bruno Fernandez (also known as B Fee) among the midfielders, and Gonzalo Guedes on the striker.

The replacement of the old and the new and other factors will affect the composition of the new team. This is a natural phenomenon. Fortunately, the national team's head coach is still the head coach Santos, and the team's personnel turnover changes.

It’s not that big. What follows is a half-month closed training camp for the team members. Regardless of whether they have met before or not, the team members quickly became familiar with each other. While practicing tactics, they also strengthened each other’s skills.

Integration of technical features. Although this preparation time is still a little rushed for the upcoming World Cup, the overall training effect is quite good, and the expected goal has basically been achieved.

When everything was settled, coach Santos made the final declaration of commitment on the day of the expedition on June 12, and then the team set off and arrived in Moscow later that day, which was earlier than the opening ceremony.

The ceremony started two days earlier.

It is precisely because the first game of the group stage is extremely important for the Portuguese national team that they came here so early to adapt to the competition venue. But just as they left the Moscow Airport, another group of people followed them.

They arrived here, and this group of people happened to be Portugal’s biggest competitor in Group B and their first opponent in the group stage—Spain.

But the most coincidental thing is not these, but Princess Leonor who arrived on the same plane with the Spanish team. She came to cheer for the Spanish team as an important representative of the royal family this time, and when she was in the first opponent

——When I saw Li Zhao’s name on the Portuguese national team roster, I couldn’t help but be surprised. I didn’t expect to see this person again so soon.

Of course, this is only Lionel's unilateral view, and Li Zhao, who is the subject of her imagination, doesn't know that this is the case at all. Perhaps even if she knows, it is difficult to have different thoughts about such an half-grown girl.
