With carved walls and an intricate Baroque interior, this is one of the best VIP rooms at the Alvalad Stadium in Lisbon.

There are five people in the box, on a large central sofa, with the left and the right as the auxiliary. On the right sat a middle-aged man in his early forties with a calm and handsome temperament, and he couldn't hide a trace of melancholy in his eyes. On the single-seated sofa next to his right, there was the only woman in the box, a very beautiful girl, seventeen or eighteen years old like a flower, her blue eyes could cover all the bright splendor of the Alvalad Stadium, beautiful as jade, this girl was the best of the jade.

On the left side of the couch is a tall and thin young man in his twenties, with blond hair and brown eyes, handsome and noble, with irrepressible confidence and handsomeness in his expression. Not far behind the young man, a sturdy man in his forties stood with his hands behind his back, with a slightly oriental face.

On the independent sofa to the right of the handsome young man, accompanied by a fat man about fifty years old, he is a friend of the youth and Portugal's Minister of Sports, Thiago? Rodriguez.

"Thiago, you're a native of Sporting Lisbon." The youth said to Minister Rodriguez: "How big do you think the Athletic team will win today?"

"Hehe, that's not easy to say, Your Royal Highness Prince Ergul." Minister Rodriguez said: "The Chinese in Madiburg is very good, the Athletic team is ...... There may not be a player who can defend against him. ”

"This Chinese kid is very popular this year, and the Italian fat guy hype is quite successful." Prince Ergul said to the calm and melancholy middle-aged man next to him: "What do you think? Uncle Franz. ”

"You know, Your Royal Highness, I'm not a fan, I don't know much about football, and I don't usually watch football." Uncle Franz replied. "What? Prince Ergul, are you interested in this Chinese? Are you going to buy him into your team? ”

"No, no, Uncle Franz, I didn't mean that." Prince Ergul hastened to explain with a smile with arrogance and contempt in his smile. "As far as I know, this Chinese named Zhuo Yang refuses all transfer negotiations, otherwise, all European giants will be moved by him."

"However, even if he has a possible transfer, I will not be involved in it."

"Oh, why is that?" Minister Rodriguez asked.

"The Chinese are worth a lot, and the transfer price will definitely be more than 50 million or more, there is no doubt about it. But, in my opinion, no one in this world is worth so much money, and there is no one among those who play football. Perhaps, the real reason is that Prince Ergul may not be able to afford the price.

"My team would never buy such expensive players anyway, they weren't worth it. Players are just a tool I use to make money, and to put it bluntly, they can only be a tool for entertainment for us good people, even if this tool can play the piano. "Prince Ergul doesn't hide anything from his friends." Of course, these words can't be spread outside, otherwise it will affect our external image, hahahaha......"

Prince Ergul smiled heartily and conceitedly, the other three men quietly frowned slightly when they heard this, and the girl's expression did not change at all, she was always paying attention to the game below.

Seeing that no one answered his words, Prince Ergul was a little embarrassed, and he asked the girl without words: "Christine, who do you think will win today?" Lisbon or Madibourg? ”

Christine turned a deaf ear and ignored Prince Elgul, still watching the game below, without twisting her head.

His Royal Highness the Prince felt bored, and he asked the man standing behind him: "Sharma, I remember that you hate Chinese the most, isn't that so?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, I hate the Chinese very much!" Sharma replied categorically.

Minister Rodriguez saw that the topic was getting more and more unpleasant, so he quickly diverted his words, and he also asked the girl who had not spoken.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Christine, you haven't said which team you're rooting for?"

Princess Christine still didn't answer, she still stared intently at the game going on below, staring at the figure in blue and white stripe No. 18 with long hair flowing on the field.

Uncle Franz frowned slightly again, he was a little unhappy, and whispered to the girl: "Christine, His Royal Highness the Prince and Mr. Minister are asking you, why don't you answer?" It's rude. Did you hear that? Christine? Christine ......"

Christine finally came to her senses, and she looked at Franz in amazement. "What's wrong? Father. What's up? ……”

It is not that Christine is not impolite, on the contrary, etiquette and cultivation have been ingrained in her genes since childhood. It's just that every time she sees that figure, her world will be filled with flowers, and there is no room for or hearing any gossip.

Sporting Lisbon is actually called Sporting de Portugal Football Club, Sporting Lisbon is just his 'nickname' in the football circle, and the club's senior management has tried to make a name for himself many times, but the football world is so stubborn, just call him Sporting Lisbon, what can I do about it? As a result, they can only be called inside and outside like this, who they love differently.

Portuguese football has been doing well in recent years, reaching the European finals three years in a row and winning the first two titles, except for Jose Mourinho's Porto. After a re-counting of points next year, the Portuguese Super League will overtake Ligue 1 and become one of the fifth-largest leagues in Europe.

As one of the traditional top three of the Portuguese Premier League, Sporting Lisbon, although it is a little far from Benfica and Porto in terms of results, there have always been kings like Luis Figo in history, and of course, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is in full swing with his sleeves rolled up in England.

Madiburg and Sporting Lisbon in the 04-05 season of the UEFA Cup final, in terms of team strength, the outside world should have been generally optimistic about Madibourg, after all, it is the most cutting-edge team in Europe in the first half of the year, and it is the defending champion of the domestic league with the same score as Bayern Munich, which is bigger than Sporting Lisbon on paper. But in fact, all the gambling markets and media speculation that the two are basically five or five, and the main reason for this is that the venue of the match, the Alvalade Stadium, is itself the home of Sporting Lisbon.

The Estadio Alvalad, the best stadium in Portugal, is often used by UEFA as a venue for neutral matches, and this year was no different, but Atletico Lesbourne happened to reach the final.

Playing at home is not the biggest disadvantage for Madiborg, who have lost a full three of their players compared to Sporting Lisbon's only one and a half main striker, Chilean Pinilla, who is out with a knee injury. Because of the second leg of the semifinals between the last game and the Russian Premier League CSKA Moscow, the 'official whistle' Aren Hamel did not need money, although Madiburg was secretly sent to the final by UEFA, but the musketeer Mario Gomez, Tsar Andrei Arshavin, and the square film Fabio Grosso The three absolute main players received a red card because of the official whistle's art of balancing the field and missed the final.

Therefore, sooner or later, you will have to pay it back, and there is no advantage in the world for nothing.
