From the man behind the football king to the football king

With the arrival of the winter break, players left one after another, and Novanello suddenly became deserted.

Starting on New Year's Day, Novanello will be closed for a week for inspection and maintenance.

For a moment, Bruno was a little confused and didn't know where to go.

He has no plans to return to Portugal. Although the winter break lasts for nearly a month, the team will regroup on January 10 and then begin a half-month training camp to prepare for the second half of the season.

In other words, the players' real vacation is only ten days, excluding the time spent traveling back and forth.

The straight-line distance between Novara and Porto is more than 1,500 kilometers, and it will span the four countries of Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. Bruno does not have a car, so taking a car is not very convenient, and flying costs a lot of money. .

Bruno's current monthly income is only 1,500 euros. After deducting the accommodation fees and Italian tutoring fees paid to the Rich family, there is only a balance of 1,000 euros. One round trip basically costs a month's salary.

To Bruno's helplessness, Mr. Rich and his family also decided to go on vacation to Switzerland for a week starting from New Year's Day. Although Mr. Rich said that he could leave the keys to Bruno, it was always inconvenient for him to be at home alone.

I am still too poor. Like those professional players who have become famous, who doesn’t have their own personal team to serve them?

However, now that he is somewhat famous in Italian football, Serie A teams must be paying attention to him.

Moreover, according to the original development trajectory, he will also transfer to Udinese in the summer, and his income will definitely increase a lot by then. I dare not say too much, but it should not be a big problem to achieve personal financial freedom.

………………

When Mr. Rich and his family left, they came to Bruno's room specifically and asked him if he would like to go to Switzerland for vacation with them.

Bruno refused without hesitation. The family was going on vacation, so what was the point of following him? Living in their house these past few months has been enough trouble for them, so I might as well leave them some private space.

Bruno is not an ignorant person.

Mr. Rich did not insist, but as he drove away, he made another suggestion to Bruno, that is, during the holidays, it is better not to just train football alone. It is best to take a walk and relax.

Novara is a small town with a good location. Whether you are going to Milan, the fashion capital nearby, or to Turin or Genoa, or even to Switzerland, it is very close.

Even in the small city of Novara, there are actually many places worth seeing.

Bruno nodded, saying that he would consider it, and then sent Mr. Rich and his family away.

As 2013 approaches, Bruno seriously considers Mr. Rich’s suggestion.

He had indeed not had a real break in the five months since he traveled through in late July. Although he had no problem sleeping due to the system, he was still mentally exhausted after five long months.

He has heard people talk about the balance between work and rest since he was a child. Before, he had to work hard to train and compete because of his livelihood. Now that he has established a foothold in Novara, his livelihood problem has been solved, and it is time to relax a little.

As for where to go, Bruno thought about it and chose Milan, the fashion capital that is just around the corner.

………………

Milan is really close to Novara. The straight-line distance is only 40 kilometers, and the driving distance is less than 50 kilometers. It is also connected by a highway, which is very convenient.

However, Bruno did not choose to go by car. Instead, he spent 50 euros to buy a second-hand bicycle, then picked up a beautiful country road and headed east.

As a professional player, Bruno is very physically fit. Although he did not deliberately rush for time, it still only took him two hours to arrive in Milan.

Bruno chose the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium as the first stop of his trip to Milan. As a football player, this was the first place he thought of going after coming to Milan.

After spending a morning visiting the stadium and having lunch, Bruno continued to set off and wandered around this fashionable capital on his bicycle.

Milan in early January is not the most beautiful and suitable season of the year, but the scenery is still good.

Bruno did not choose to go to bustling places such as Santa Babila Square and fashionable districts. Instead, he rode in some ancient and clean alleys to feel the context and cultural heritage of the city.

………………

After playing for two or three hours, Bruno felt a little tired, so he randomly picked a coffee shop, parked the car and walked in.

The environment of this coffee shop located in a remote alley is very quiet, and the interior decoration is also very tasteful, giving people an elegant and warm feeling.

However, I don’t know if it’s because of its relatively remote location, but the business of this coffee house is obviously not very good. When Bruno entered, it was about four o’clock in the afternoon, which was the afternoon tea time for Italians. It was during the Italian Spring Festival, so business at this time should be good, but there was only one customer in the coffee house, Bruno.

Apart from Bruno, who had just walked in, there was only one woman in the coffee shop, and she was a beautiful woman. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, and her cold face was so exquisite that it made people's eyes light up, and they couldn't look away anymore. Coupled with those proud and strong breasts, slender waist, and slender legs, everything is so breathtaking.

The most alluring thing is her eyes, which are full of infinite allure. Although she doesn't show any deliberate pretense, any man who sees those eyes will have the same thought, too. Charming eyes, what a beauty!

Bruno walked into the coffee shop and glanced at the beautiful woman with some confusion, not knowing whether she was a customer or a clerk.

The other party quickly helped Bruno resolve his doubts with actions: "Welcome! What do you need?"

Obviously, the other party should be the clerk of this coffee shop, or even the proprietress.

Bruno felt more and more strange. Why was the business so cold in a coffee shop owned by such a beautiful woman and with a very nice environment?

Of course, Bruno didn't ask the doubts in his heart. In fact, this kind of environment suits him very well. He doesn't like noisy atmosphere.

………………

After Bruno inquired about the coffee shop's products, he ordered a cup of cappuccino.

Bruno didn't have much interest in coffee, nor did he know much about it. He came to this coffee shop to drink coffee just to take a rest when he was a little tired. I ordered cappuccino partly because this kind of coffee is relatively cheap and partly because the name is familiar.

Before time travel, Bruno didn't have many hobbies. In addition to watching football games, he would also play Landlord online in his spare time, where his teammates or opponents would often make him a cup of cappuccino.

Cappuccino was instant coffee, and the beautiful boss quickly brewed it and brought it to him. After saying "please use it slowly", she left, returned to the bar and sat down.

The music of the opera "Carmen" was playing in the coffee house. Both of them felt each other's love for this piece. "Love is like a free bird" is the beauty boss's favorite. Carmen is always in mysterious temptation and bohemian. He can play the strings deep in his heart just right, but Bruno likes "The Dragoons of Alcalá" and "The Song of the Matador" the most. They are majestic, powerful and exciting, and can always arouse resonance deep in the soul.

Both of them listened to the opera quietly without speaking.

When the opera ended and the music changed to a new track, Bruno stood up, paid and left.

He did not strike up a conversation with the beautiful landlady, although she was really beautiful and met Bruno's aesthetic point in every aspect. This is just an unexpected encounter. When you turn around, you will be a stranger. It is unknown whether we will see each other again. Why bother to create more entanglements?
