Legend of the Blue Lion

Chapter 428
……

The beauty of Venice is always inseparable from water.

The winding water lanes and flowing clear waves are like Picasso's canvas, floating on a layer of hazy dreams, and the poetic and picturesque feeling will linger for a long time.

Beige, orange, ivory, and Zhuhe are rendered on the old outer wall, and they are in harmony with the waves on the water, mottled and scattered.

……

Italy, Venice, Water City
One day after Christmas, under the coercion and lure of Ludovica, He Yu came to the famous water city Venice together.

Here, they spent three days wandering together.

Because of the celebrities, they deliberately live far from the tourist center area.

In this way, they can also wear simple clothes without any external decoration.

It was late at night, and they were relieved to take a small boat and stroll around the night...

A flat boat with two people living in the bow.

None of them hold mobile phones or cameras, but just quietly in this atmosphere, to truly integrate with nature.

When the game was on the rise, if it wasn't for He Yu's parental style, Ludovica would have already shuttled to the downtown area...

"I said Brother Yu, can you stop being like my brother all the time, okay?"

Ludovica raised her small mouth and spoke softly.

"That won't work, you came out with me, so I have to take care of you.

Let go, and you'll really go crazy.

Are you really not afraid of being surrounded by your fans and fans? "

The image of He Yu's veteran cadre is online, and he speaks sternly.

"What are you afraid of? It's no big deal to be photographed, and then make headlines!"

Ludovica's question was in a tone of surprise.

At this moment, He Yu also had nothing to say.

This loose rabbit is very difficult to restrain.

……

Swimming and chatting, looking lazy.

This rare comfort made the two of them relax a lot physically and mentally.

Lying on the small sampan, catering to the tranquility of the water and the color of the night, the two chatted...

"Brother Yu, how long do you plan to play?"

"I don't know, I can play as long as I can, until I can't play anymore.

Or, if no team wants me, I will retire. "

"Oh, that's impossible.

Even if you are 40 years old, there should still be teams signing you. "

"40?

Don't dare to think about it, and don't want to think about it.

Actually, it's almost time..."

Perhaps sensing He Yu's melancholy, Ludovica immediately changed the subject:
"Brother Yu, you are still very young!

I just want to ask you, what do you plan to do after you retire from playing football? "

He Yu thought for a while, and replied: "I don't plan to do anything, just imagine lying quietly like this."

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

"I don't want to be an actor anymore, let alone shoot commercials.

I just want to sleep well every day, eat whatever I want, and play wherever I want.

I just thought it would be fine if no one bothered me and no one cared about me..."

Seeing Ludovica chattering endlessly, He Yu interjected:
"are you talking about me?"

"No.

I just want to stay with you all the time like this, no one bothers us. "

After Ludovica finished speaking, he didn't look at He Yu either.

Perhaps it was the sound of the water in the night that really touched people's heartstrings, so Ludovica said these words slowly.

These words have been in her mind for a long time.

He Yu didn't answer her again, but just accompanied her, looking up at the starry sky together.

He is not stupid, so he naturally understands the meaning of these words.

Just being at a loss for a moment, he just quietly accompanied her, staring at the blue sky that day.

……

Holidays are happy, but also tangled.

The two returned to Milan, each doing their own work.

He Yu trains normally, and occasionally chats with a few people from the "Lion's Nest" to make use of his spare heat.

After Ludovica returned from Venice, he never took the initiative to contact He Yu again.

Before the new year came, he returned to the United States again.

Before leaving, he didn't even make a phone call with He Yu.

The thoughts of the two people are somewhat indescribable.

What I have to say is like Liu Yuxi's poem.

Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the road is sunny but sunny.

……

2025, the beginning of the new year.

For football, on the eve of the big game, this is just a small year.

But there are also important events such as the continental qualifiers for the 2026 North American Three-Nation World Cup, and the Confederations Cup in the middle of the year.

And for He Yu, this will also be the busiest year.

In the last five qualifiers of the national team, almost every game can determine life and death.

In AC Milan, there is also the upcoming Coppa Italia final.

Of course, there is still plenty of time in the league to continue making history.

……

On January 1, Milan assembled.

The team's new aid, Luca Ercolani returns to the team.

He will wear the No. 17 jersey and appear in the next San Siro stadium.

Apart from him, Milan didn't make any bigger moves, but various rumors were flying all over the sky.

While the transfer window had just opened, it was already closing.

His arrival can be regarded as finalizing the main lineup of Milan's defense.

Four defenders, from left to right, Robertson, Ercolani, Romagnoli, Bellanova.

This is a defense line at the level of the Italian national team except for the Scot Robertson.

Compared with the other three, only Bellanova rarely has the experience of playing in the national team.After all, it is difficult to have his place in the Italian three-central defender system.

In addition, the two veterans Albertaci and Remy will also be good candidates.

Of course, there is also a gem of youth training, Sportelli.

In the midfield, Kanter is still able to stand alone.

It's just that Jorginho's ability has declined, and most of the games are replaced by the young Brescianini.

Occasionally, Kovacic and Kanter are also combined in the central midfielder position.

And the midfielder position, or on Povega, or on Mastour.

And Mastour is the absolute first choice on the left, which is also his advantage of being able to play in multiple positions.

Of course, Berardi on the right is also a very stable main force.

It's just that the young Norwegian teenager Larsson, on the left and right flanks, can perform the task of substituting very well.

There are also Cutrone and Toning in the middle.

Milan has optional talent reserves in various positions.

This also shows the operating conditions of Milan in the past two years from another aspect.

Recycle the outstanding youth training, and then vigorously tap the youth training.

……

On January 1th, Milan practiced with a match, the first game of the new year.

Milan sits in San Siro, and the result is Siena 2-0.The half of Serie A is over, and Milan continues to remain in the 7th place.

After returning, Ercolani made his debut in this game and completed his debut.

Moreover, the first goal was also recorded, a diving jump to the top, opening the door to victory for Milan.

The next game, 7 days later, the final of the Coppa Italia, Juventus...
