Chapter 62 Christmas and Winter Break (Part )
Avalokitesvara accompanies Sarri, no, it is the timely rain who is eager to help others. According to Ricardo's latest instructions, Raiola has had several close and efficient communications with different groups. Finally, with Ricardo's lightning-fast decision, Ricardo's 2005 Christmas holiday itinerary is released!
Pack your bags and let’s go!
On December 12, the second day after dealing with the professor, Ricardo went back to the training center for a simple relaxation training early in the morning while the sun was warm. Then he met up with his club teammates Puyol and Iniesta and went to the largest children's hospital in Barcelona. On behalf of the club, he distributed Christmas gifts to the children, played games with them and spent a pleasant half day.
Ricardo really likes children, and he has a lot of fun playing with them. He is also very popular with them - after all, he is the most handsome and friendly one among the three. (Puyol and Iniesta: "... Forget it, you are right.")
Ricardo's characteristic of being a child king may be influenced by old Li Qi, who will have two children in the future? And Ricardo took the initiative to sign up for this condolence activity a month ago.
After attending the condolence event, Ricardo hurried to the airport in the evening of the same day and took a Lufthansa flight directly to Lausanne, Switzerland to reunite with his family.
Yes, Ricardo paid for his whole family to spend the Christmas holidays in Lausanne, Switzerland: the five-star hot spring spa hotel, high-end ski park and luxurious Christmas gifts were all arranged by Lapang and Pimenta.
In fact, Ricardo did not have to pay for it all out of his own pocket, because he was attending an event for the brand he was endorsing, so the air tickets and hotel expenses for Ricardo and his team were actually reimbursed by the sponsor, so it could be considered a semi-funded vacation.
Then, in line with the principle that if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a fool. Naturally, Ricardo arranged for the whole family to come together. It was also a good cover for himself, no, no, it was to show filial piety and reflect the harmonious family atmosphere of loving fathers, filial sons, brothers and sisters...
Ricardo will attend the advertising shoot and on-site promotion activities for Nike winter wear and Kinder brands for half a day on December 12 and December 24 respectively.
After spending Christmas Eve with her family, Princess Sarafina flew to Lausanne, Switzerland, on December 12, later in the evening to spend two days with Ricardo and his family. After all, the activity funds were sponsored by Kinder, a brand under the Ferrero Group, so of course the family had to spend some money together...
However, Sarafina could only travel for two days. On the evening of December 12, she flew directly from Switzerland to New York on the west coast of the United States to attend a winter camp organized by an Ivy League organization that started the next day. During the three-week period, she would visit and study in eight American universities that have produced the most Rhodes Scholars: Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Brown University and Cornell University.
Based on his interaction with Sarafina, Ricardo learned that the little princess has basically confirmed that she will receive a full scholarship admission notice from the London School of Economics and Political Science in the UK, but the formal offer will not be issued until late January next year.
(Yes, their undergraduate students have full scholarships, although the money must come from the Ferrero family’s education fund donation, but this is the tone of a big family that cares about face and reputation!)
Therefore, Sarafina’s teaching consultant team suggested that Sarafina could try to apply to the Ivy League schools in the United States as a backup, or it would be a good idea to make some cognitive preparations for future master’s and doctoral programs.
After listening to the teaching consultant's introduction, Sarafina was also interested in several Ivy League universities, including but not limited to Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Princeton University, Columbia University, etc.
In fact, basically all Ivy League schools are very good, and the little princess is very interested in them! But that's natural, after all, they are all world-renowned schools.
So just before the application deadline, Sarafina temporarily joined this winter camp study tour arrangement which was not originally planned.
Although the online and email applications have already been submitted, just like the summer study camp in the UK, you still need to go for an on-site interview to communicate, further deepen your understanding and make a two-way choice.
A few days ago, when Ricardo heard Sarafina introduce her winter vacation plan, he couldn't help but exclaimed on the phone: "That's great! Oh no, what I mean is, dear Sara, you are so motivated and hardworking. You must pay attention to rest and take good care of yourself..."
So I spent two days in Switzerland with the beautiful young Sarafina - the main benefit was that I took a private hot spring bath with the little princess with a baby face and big breasts wearing a white bikini...
Ricardo drove a rented car and personally sent the little princess, who was dressed in white fur, onto the plane. He also sent her father, mother, brother, and uncle Charles' family on the return flight on the evening of the 27th, except for Ricardo himself...
Ricardo had a legitimate excuse of work, and his family had to go back to work and study. After all, they had been out playing for nearly a week, and no one had much interest in Paris, right?
(Dad, Mom, Brother, Uncle Charles and his family: "Who said that? We are all very interested!")
(Ricardo: "Ahem...over budget!")
Ricardo changed his route directly to Paris, France, to attend the half-day Coca-Cola brand advertising shooting and on-site promotion activities from December 12th to 28th.
On the morning of December 12, Ricardo, who was alone again and free, picked up Julianne, who had flown in from Milan, at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris to attend the photo shoot and activities together...
Julian, who had just got off the plane, wore a black Beret cap, a long pink down jacket, slim jeans, and khaki Martin boots... Her slightly plump figure was wrapped in thick winter clothes, making her look more graceful and youthful...
Then Ricardo and Julian spent three days together in Paris, free and shameless!
Unlike the pure family atmosphere when they were with Sarafina, Ricardo and Julianne could play some edge balls in the hotel suite. Hehe, it was just right for Christmas and they could match it with the newly bought festive erotic outfit. Oh no, it was a new model from Victoria's Secret. The point of playing some edge balls was to adjust the atmosphere...
(For the sake of love and harmony, several thousand words of specific description are omitted...)
Of course, apart from those embarrassing things, Ricardo still accompanied Julian to the Christmas market in the Tuileries Garden, the Christmas light festival on the Champs Elysees, the Seine River cruise, and the Christmas parade and fireworks at Disneyland Paris... Julian had a great time and consciously bought a lot of outfits that reflected her inner beauty...
Well, I heard that Julian's application for a doctorate at the University of Chicago went smoothly, and it shouldn't be a problem for her to get a full scholarship offer. After New Year's Day, Julian will fly to Chicago in the central United States to participate in an offline interview organized by the School of Biology and a cutting-edge forum event on the biopharmaceutical field...
The girls around him are all so sensible and not clingy. Oh no, it's their excellent self-management! Ricardo is very happy. Oh no, it's also necessary to constantly motivate himself...
On the evening of December 12, Ricardo kissed Julian goodbye in Paris and sent her on a flight back to Milan. He then flew directly back to Barcelona, Spain, to report to the club and return to the team.
As for Chiara, the most mature and sensible girl went back to Palermo, Sicily, to spend the Christmas holiday with her parents, then went back to Milan to work for two more days, and then boarded a flight to Barcelona, Spain on the evening of December 12 to provide logistics support for her big client and boyfriend, just in time to celebrate the New Year together on Saturday night...
I don't know who will be on whose body to celebrate the New Year...
The two landed at Barcelona International Airport one after the other and met each other.
The first thing that impressed Ricardo was Chiara's new hairstyle, which changed her original long hair into shoulder-length short hair, with French bangs and slightly curly waves, making her already pretty oval face look even more intellectual and charming.
Chiara walked out of the arrival gate, pulling a new sky blue Tumi business suitcase. She was wearing a dark blue tweed long coat, revealing an indigo turtleneck sweater underneath. She was wearing slim-fitting beige tweed straight pants and black over-the-knee boots. She looked heroic, natural and friendly as she took the arm of Ricardo, who was wearing a black and dark blue suit.
The two good-looking couple took a taxi back to their love nest, oh no, it was the cozy little apartment rented by Ricardo.
As soon as they entered the door and threw the suitcase, the two hot bodies began to stick to each other and eat each other...
This is different from Julian's edge ball and simulation game with Chiara! Ricardo and Chiara can fight with real guns and bullets, and they don't need to wear sports protective equipment!
How could Ricardo, who had been holding back for a whole holiday and was annoyed by Julian for a few days, endure it... He had already prepared more than a dozen DNA sample injection reagents!
Chiara looked at Ricardo, who was about to turn into a beast, with her eyes as charming as silk. She couldn't help but chuckled and said, "More than a dozen rounds? Is that true? Don't act like a little dog after two or three rounds!"
Is he being underestimated? No matter if he really becomes thinner after a few shots, Ricardo will not give in now that the arrow is on the string!
At least not in words...
Even if you want to admit defeat, you have to wait until you enter the sage time!
(…Anyway, the thousands of words of content and details not suitable for children, such as the passionate and blood-thrilling scenes, thunder and fire, the clouds and rain on Wushan Mountain, the ups and downs of the phoenixes, etc., were all omitted for the sake of love and harmony…)
……
It was a week before Christmas, and Pimenta was looking at Ricardo's hotel and flight schedule, the list of Christmas gifts he was going to buy, and the addresses and recipients he was going to mail separately...
"Well, it's still these guys. They haven't started fighting yet? I underestimated this kid..."
"Looks like he has the potential to be a sea king!"
"It's just that the money is spent a bit too much. The endorsement fee can't stand such a thing! Valentine's Day is in two months..."
"Oh my! So there is my Christmas present. This handsome boy knows how to behave. Not bad!"
"It's not because of this Prada bag, but because I think my good brother is so outstanding, so I will help you more in the future to deal with these little girls..."
So, Pimenta helped Ricardo clean his butt after he had shit, oh no, after he had stolen fishy things. He also took the initiative to help Ricardo improve many details that the big pigs wouldn't notice...
Therefore, the girls were very satisfied with this Christmas holiday, and deeply felt Ricardo's sincere and pure love that would last forever and ever...
So, women still understand girls!
Both Ricardo and Old Li Qi know the importance of finding good teammates...
……
Ricardo, whose magazine was forcibly emptied again last night, relied on his hidden secret - his eloquent ventriloquism, to barely fight Chiara to a draw. At least Chiara didn't have the energy to pursue the matter of the dozen or so DNA sample reagents...
The next day, Ricardo, feeling relaxed, returned to the club for a simple physical examination and recovery training. His physical condition and state were still good.
Then I also started to pay attention to some of the developments in Spanish football during the winter break. After all, my eyes and energy were on the girls in the past few days, and I had no time to pay attention to other things...
……
First of all, in today's training session, Van Bommel returned to the team after recovering from injury, and he seemed to have recovered well.
Before his injury, Van Bommel had played 8 times in La Liga this season, 4 of which were starts, and Barcelona remained undefeated. Therefore, Daily Sports regarded his comeback as Barcelona's biggest signing in the winter.
Well, Ricardo's starting order is -1...
……
Then two days ago, on December 12, the Spanish newspaper El Mundo announced the 29 La Liga awards including the best local player, best coach and best foreign player.
The selection is made by the head coaches and captains of the 20 La Liga teams; and according to the selection method, coaches and captains cannot choose their teammates as voting objects.
As a result, Barcelona won all the important awards and became the biggest winner.
In the selection of the best local player, Xavi had an absolute advantage with 21 votes, while Vicente of Valencia, Raul of Real Madrid and Casillas each received two votes.
The best foreign player was Eto'o, who received 15 votes, surpassing his teammate Ronaldinho's 13 votes. Young player Messi also received three votes, and Ricardo Liqui also received two votes.
Rijkaard beat Osasuna coach Aguirre to become the best coach, with the two receiving 17 and 4 votes respectively.
……
Finally, the news that attracted Ricardo's attention most during this period was the gossip in the transfer market, of course, apart from the gossip such as "Ronaldo brought his sexy girlfriend to meet his parents, and the alien is expected to enter the marriage hall again" and "Beckham's rumored girlfriend blasted the hot girl".
The hottest news of this winter break is that the Roma genius Cassano, known as the bad boy, is likely to join the Galacticos Real Madrid in the next few days!
It is reported that the two clubs have reached an agreement on an ultra-low price of 500 million euros; after all, Cassano's contract with Roma will expire at the end of this season, and Cassano will become a free agent at that time. If Cassano automatically joins Real Madrid at that time, it will be a major loss for Roma.
According to gossip, Real Madrid has also reached an agreement with Cassano on salary: the two sides will sign a five-and-a-half-year contract, ending in June 2010, with an annual salary of 6 million euros.
……
Ricardo also knew Cassano, his senior. He even learned Cassano's famous skills, such as the big butt-style ball protection and the 18-fall-down technique, because he was frequently fouled by opponents during his time in the youth team.
Antonio Cassano, born on July 1982, 7 in Bari, Italy, plays as a forward.
99/00赛季，年仅17岁的卡萨诺就已经代表巴里参加意甲联赛；而在01/02赛季以2850万美元的天价转会费加盟罗马，被认为是托蒂的接班人；随后也顺利的入选了意大利国家队，被认为是意大利未来的希望之星！
Although Cassano is only 1 meters tall, he is very good at controlling and protecting the ball. In addition, he is flexible in movement, skilled in ball control and has delicate techniques. He is a typical No. 75 player.
However, Cassano, who has a bad temper, often causes trouble on and off the field, and it is hard to say that his relationship with successive head coaches is harmonious.
I guess Cassano might become more restrained after joining Real Madrid, where there are so many stars... No way! Real Madrid, whose dressing room is already a mess, can only wish them good luck!
Ricardo couldn't help but think with gloating...
