Europe is seen as the center of international football, but when players choose where to spend the Christmas holidays, the warm America is a more popular choice.Not only those players from Brazil or Argentina took advantage of their vacations to return to their hometowns, but even many European players made a special trip to the Americas for vacation.

In last Sunday's Eredivisie match, many South American players once fought hard for their homeland.But as the final whistle blew, the South American players turned foes into friends and began asking each other about their vacation home arrangements, some even appearing on the same flight.

A few days later, Jiang Mu and Schelinga, who were becoming famous, appeared on the flight to Brazil. Originally, Cesar was planning to go home two days late, waiting to accompany Jiang Mu back to Brazil, but Jiang Mu didn't want to delay Cesar's precious vacation, and at the same time, he didn't want Cesar's rival Silva to have other ideas, so he refused.

At [-]:[-] in the evening, Jiang Mu and Scheringa arrived in Porto Alegre, an important port on the Atlantic coast in southern Brazil and the largest city south of Sao Paulo, an important port city in southern Brazil, and the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.

Jiang Mu has been to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, but has never been to Porto Alegre, but he is not at ease about the security in Brazil. At night, there will be no shortage of drug addicts and looters.So on the way to the booked Hilton Hotel, Jiang Mu asked the taxi driver to go around the city to see the beautiful night view of South Brazil.

Compared with the noisy Sao Paulo, the atmosphere of Porto Alegre is particularly close to small European cities.

The driver proudly introduced that the population here is 140 million. The entire city is built on the banks of the Guaiba River. There is a well-preserved neoclassical style downtown, beautiful squares, eye-catching museums and cultural centers, art, The atmosphere of music and football is very strong.

Regarding football, Jiang Mu and Schelinga are convinced that there are two famous clubs here: Inter (AL) and Gremio (Gremio). Both teams have won world championships and have gone out of countless international Superstars, the fans of the two teams are all over Brazil, and whenever they encounter a derby, the smell of gunpowder is strong.However, unlike other famous football cities, Inter and Gremio each have their own stadiums. The Inter's is the Riverside Stadium and the Gremio's is the Olympic Stadium. The distance between the two stadiums is not very far.

Of course, Jiang Mu's goal in coming to this city is not purely for Lucio. It is also one of Jiang Mu's goals to see if he can poach Ronaldinho, who later became popular all over the world at the Gremio Club.

However, Jiang Mu did not disclose it for the time being, because Ronaldinho is different from Lucio. The talents of forwards are always easy to be discovered and excavated earlier, while the talents of defenders are not so conspicuous. At least fake fans rarely pay attention to defenders.

Ronaldinho shined in the World Junior Championship held in Egypt last year. The Brazilian national team led by Ronaldinho defeated Ghana 2-1 to win the championship.Ronaldinho, who scored 7 goals in this cup match, was named the best player and became the top scorer of the championship team. His name was known to the world for a while. new chapter.He is also hailed as another emerging Brazilian star.

Facing this talented new star with a little reputation, it is not easy to plan for the non-rich team Alkmaar who wants to poach him to the Eredivisie, not to mention that Gremio will ask for a high price, because Ronaldinho is already 18 years old. Even Ronaldinho's older brother, Assis, had a hard time passing that level.

Come to the Hilton Hotel.The first thing Siherinja put down his luggage was to find the swimming pool, while Jiang Mu went to the internet to surf the Internet.The swimming pool is on the top floor, but the pool is too small, almost like three bathtubs. After taking a bath, Jiang Mu and Scheringa had a passionate love once they returned to the room.Then I went out to eat the most famous Brazilian barbecue in Porto Alegre before I came back to rest.

The reason why they dared to go out was because the waiter said that the law and order here is still good. As long as they don't go to parks and suburbs, basically there will be no problems, and Jiang Mu has the defense system of "Chang'e No. [-]", so it is not difficult to deal with a small number of enemies at close range. Not a big problem.

There are many European immigrants from Germany and Italy in Porto Alegre, and the urban architecture is also filled with a strong European flavor.The churches, squares, public markets and other buildings in the city center are all in colonial style.But before the arrival of European settlers, Porto Alegre was the land of South American cowboys, the gauchos.The Gauchos live on horseback, and this national tradition has been passed down.To this day, people on horseback can occasionally be seen in the city.

The next day was December 12th. During the day, Jiang Mu and Shiherinjia rented a carriage, leisurely traveled in this city of mixed cultures and races to buy gifts, and at night they went to Alegre together. Spend Christmas Eve in the capital cathedral in Hong Kong.

After returning to the Hilton Hotel after Christmas Eve Mass, Sheringa did not go to bed, but stayed until 12 o'clock to wish Merry Christmas to her relatives and friends, just like celebrating the New Year.Chinese people do not have a tradition of celebrating Christmas. Jiang Mu is bored, so he can only watch TV on the Internet. Fortunately, he understands Portuguese, otherwise he would definitely be bored to death.

On Christmas Day, Jiang Mu thought that Sherinja would go to church. He is not a believer, nor does he have any beliefs. It is really boring to watch them celebrate mass and sing hymns in church, and you should not be too Feel free to joke around or it will be considered disrespectful to Jesus.

But I didn't expect that Sheringa didn't go, but bought a lot of food, candles, Christmas trees and various decorations, busy decorating the hotel room without any hotel atmosphere, but more like a home.

"Why don't you go to church?"

Jiang Mu couldn't help asking when he saw that Schelinga solemnly took out a bottle of precious Lafite red wine.

"I've been there on Christmas Eve. Of course we have to spend Christmas with our family. We believe in Protestantism." The little woman with a happy face opened the red wine and poured each for Jiang Mu and herself. Drank half a glass.

"It's better not to go... Well, that's not what I meant. Although I don't believe in Christianity, I respect your freedom of belief. I'm just not used to all kinds of rituals." Jiang Mu slipped his tongue and hurriedly explained.

"It's okay if you're not used to it, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, as long as you like me." Siherinja took a sip of the wine, and her face turned rosy.

"Of course I like you. In fact, I also appreciate Christianity. One must believe in something in one's life so as not to be empty." Jiang Mu said honestly.

"This is exactly what I like about you. You are not hypocritical or pretentious, and you are not as...how should I put it...pragmatism like many Chinese people." Scheringa finally came up with a suitable word.

Jiang Mu smiled slightly, and said: "A word in Chinese is more accurate, it is called a philistine, that is, it treats everything as a business, and it is the same with beliefs and gods. They bribe the gods with money and gifts, hoping to get blessings, instead of using spirit to fight with the gods. Gods communicate with each other, so in our country, after believers have vulgarized themselves, they also secularize their beliefs and gods, even vulgarize them.”

Siherinja looked at Jiang Mu with admiration and said, "You are young, but you seem to be very mature. It seems to be the same as my father's generation. Is it my illusion, Jiang."

Jiang Mu drank a glass of wine leisurely, and said: "Maturity is not calculated by age. A rich lady like you will not mature like a poor child in a lifetime."

"I understand what you mean, money is the biggest obstacle preventing us from going to heaven." Scheringa said.

"Hehe, do you like the gift I gave you?" Jiang Mu watched as Siherinja put the jade cross he had given her around her neck.

"I like it. The Lord's image is carved very delicately, and my Chinese name is also very beautiful." Shihelinjia said.

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm a lot unfamiliar with what I've done." Jiang Mu said with a slight smile.

"Ah! Could it be that you did it?" Skhrinja touched the cross on her chest, which was only the size of a fingertip, in surprise and joy.

"Well, I liked micro-carving when I was young, so I just learned to play with others, but unfortunately I couldn't make it into the elegant hall." Jiang Mu was impetuous when he was young. In order to change his personality, he learned sculpture from others and wanted to polish his personality. Later I gave up, because it is impossible to have a big change in personality, which is natural, but the art of miniature sculpture has become a hobby.

"I think it's very good. In your Chinese words, you can use this skill to support me and my children without being a coach."

Sherinja said happily.

"Hehe, as long as you want, I will support you and our children." Jiang Mu grabbed the tip of Siherinjia's slender, white and jade-like fingers.

"I am willing, will you take me to church?" Siherinja asked, looking straight into Jiang Mu's eyes.

"Yes, of course, I also hope to bring you back to China to participate in our wedding with Chinese characteristics." Jiang Mu said seriously.

"Sit in a bridal sedan chair and kowtow while wearing a red turban?" Siherinjia excitedly grabbed Jiang Mu's hand.

"Yes, I still have a cup of wine." Jiang Mu said with a smile.

"How do you drink the wine?" Skhrinja asked.

"Okay, let me teach you, let you try the feeling of being a bride in advance."

Smiling, Jiang Mu hugged Sikhrinja into his arms, and asked her to pick up the wine glass with one hand, and bent and crossed the arms holding the wine glass to bring it to her mouth.

After drinking a cup, Sherinja said happily: "Chinese weddings are really fun."

Jiang Mu sighed: "The custom of drinking Jiaobei wine originated from the pre-Qin period 2000 years ago. At that time, ladles were used, and in the Tang Dynasty, cups were used instead. In the Song Dynasty 1000 years ago, newlyweds only used two wine glasses when drinking Jiaojiu wine. Change glasses to drink together, and throw the glasses under the bed after drinking, to show the happy marriage after a hundred years. In fact, our wedding was as solemn as your wedding in the church at the beginning, and now it has mainly become a joke .”

Scheringja said: "China is very ancient and mysterious. I have always liked Chinese culture, but I have never been there. Some people say that you are barbaric."

"I also learned from you to be barbaric. You were also barbaric 100 years ago. It is of course good to put down your guns and become a Buddha immediately, but you must not forget to treat yourself as a saint when you are holding a gun."

Siheringa put her arms around Jiang Mu's neck, and said softly, "Okay, I was wrong, this time I'm busy with the transfer, next time you must take me back."

Jiang Mu said: "Okay, I will definitely take you to see the Celestial Dynasty, the tradition of our civilization has not disappeared."
