It takes about 27 hours to fly from the imperial capital to Buenos Aires.

Very far away.

Argentina is the farthest country from China.

Whether it is from the east or from the west, the straight line distance is more than 20,000 kilometers.

Even aircraft with maximum fuel capacity cannot be accessed directly.

Therefore, there are two ways to travel from China to Argentina.

One is to go west, transit through Europe and then to Buenos Aires. The most convenient one is to transfer twice in Paris and Amsterdam.

One is to go east, transit through the United States and then to Buenos Aires. It usually transfers in Dallas.

This time they chose to transfer from the United States.

After more than one day, Long Yu and Kanigia naturally had some conversations.

However, the 27-hour journey, except for the waking flight in the United States, Kanicia was awake, and she was sleeping almost all the time.

A day later, the plane was not far from Buenos Aires.

"Brother, can you stop sleeping?"

"Hmm? Have you arrived in Argentina?"

"It's almost at Antarctica."

Long Yu looked at the drunken Kanigia with annoyance.

"Can you do it? Drink it like this ball?"

"Ball-like? Comparing me to football, is this the unique grammar of praise in China?"

"Haha, just like you."

"I'm just a ball, I like this adjective, hahaha! I like China so much, I'll go next time I have time, but you have to be a tour guide."

Kanigia woke up and talked to Long Yu about her trip to China with great enthusiasm.

"Everything is good in China, food, girls, cities, it's really heaven and earth."

"Ahem, buddy, don't use the word 'Heaven and Earth' indiscriminately, it's not a good word in the imperial capital."

"Isn't this an ordinary idiom? It's too difficult for you to understand Chinese."

"You are an Argentinian and you can speak Chinese to this level, which is great."

"Although I am an Argentinian, one-quarter of the Chinese blood flows in my blood."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"Because my grandfather is a Chinese, he came to Argentina to live very early."

Long Yu checked in curiously at Nigia.

He had said before that the son of Feng was brother, but Long Yu felt that he looked like the son of Feng.

Now that he said this, he really has the edges of Chinese people.

After chatting about family, Kanigia didn't say much, and Long Yu didn't ask much.

After all, the two have known each other for a short time, and it is a bit inappropriate and rude to talk about these things too deeply.

As we talk about the whole world, the topic still involuntarily returns to football itself.

I saw the football magazine opened in Long Yu's hand. The photo on it was the Candy Box Stadium - Boca Youth Home Stadium.

When talking about Argentine football, Canigia instantly opened up and talked freely.

"In Argentina, football is a special existence, and football embodies the family and country feelings of the Argentine people.

"For us, football is definitely not just a sport, it is the belief of the whole nation and the gene that flows in the blood.

“Football is everywhere and everywhere in Argentina, it is a way of life, even a way of thinking.

“It is no exaggeration to say that children who can walk in Argentina can play football.

"In other countries, children bring toys or dolls when going out, while children in Argentina bring soccer.

“Whether in the streets of developed Buenos Aires or in the valleys in the mountains in the northern part of the country, people are talking about the ball and watching the ball.

"According to statistics, the popularity of football in Argentina's 3 to 70-year-old men is as high as 98%.

"National polls show that nine in every 10 Argentines claim to be fans of a club.

“There are thousands of clubs in the Argentine Football Association, and there are about hundreds of thousands of professional and amateur players in all levels of competition across the country.

“There are more than 70 stadiums nationwide that accommodate more than 10,000 spectators.”

Hearing this, Long Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Such a good football foundation, no wonder Argentine football can become a strong team in international football."

Kanigia nodded proudly and continued to tell proudly.

"My Chinese friend once joked that football was invented by Chinese people and had developed on the land of China thousands of years ago.

"This is just a joke. If you talk about the prototype of football in history, many countries have similar football play, in different forms.

“The annoying English people always say they are the originator of modern football, and we Argentines don’t agree!

"Argentina also had the prototype of modern football a long time ago. We think we are the originator of modern football!

"The shameless Englishman, like snatching our Malvinas Islands, snatching the founding honor of modern football!"

When Kanigia said these words, a rare seriousness appeared on his face again, after all, this was a topic of the country and nation.

Long Yu also expressed his agreement seriously: "China and Argentina have always had a good relationship, and our government has also made a public statement and firmly supported Argentina's legitimate demand for sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands."

"That's right! I knew you were a good brother with a positive outlook!" Kanigia showed an excited expression on her face.

"Football has a century-old origin in Argentina and is one of the earliest countries and regions to hold leagues.

"As early as 1893, the Argentine Football Association was established and is one of the eight earliest football associations in world history.

"In 1912, Argentina became the first country in South America to join FIFA.

"The development of football in Argentina has a profound national imprint, and its rise is closely related to the development of the country.

“Many years ago, with the development of the Argentina meat processing industry, beef from the Pampas grassland continued to be sold to Europe.

"At that time, more and more foreign immigrant workers were living in the meat processing area of ​​the port, and football became the link of their connection.

“Football has the power to shape collective identity and a sense of honor, and helps to strengthen communication and recognition among immigrant communities.

"Because of this excellent characteristic, football has been popularized and promoted invisibly, forming an important part of Argentina's sense of national honor.

"And Maradona is truly considered the game of the king of football, at the 1986 World Cup.

"At that time, Maradona helped us defeat England with two wonderful goals, sweeping away the shadow of the defeat in the Cavaliers War.

“At that time, we celebrated the whole country and Maradona was also regarded as a national hero. Since then, Argentine football has been at the top of the world.

"We Argentine football is like our people, with toughness, deepness, restraint, passionate and unrestrained hearts.

“Our football is the best in the world!”

Looking at the dancing Kanigia, Long Yu felt extremely envious.

China has a vast land and a wealth of resources, but there is no soil for football development.

When will Chinese football become our pride as we are all about...
