Dick was not very clear about the conversation between Moratti and Facchetti, but he also knew that it was not easy to clean up the players. After all, the redundant personnel accumulated by Inter Milan over the years could only be
Slowly clean up, and besides cleaning up, it is also necessary to strengthen the strength by buying people.
He doesn't mind being a villain and has made Inter Milan's first team more streamlined through his own actions. At the same time, he also knows that Moratti has little money. If the annual deficit of tens of millions is still the same as before, I'm afraid there will be no more money.
Ratti can't support him either - in fact, Moratti has lost the support of his family recently. If the second boss Tronchetti hadn't been supporting him from behind, Moratti might have already begun to feel that he couldn't support him anymore.
He also had this consideration in taking a back seat and letting Facchetti manage things properly. In the past, it was just because he couldn't let go of his dignity. If Dick would be the villain, he would be very happy.
After signing the contract, Dick quickly left Milan, and then flew directly to Monaco to have some fun - but when he came to the Monte Carlo Casino with familiarity, he found a man in the casino.
I couldn't even find Charlotte...
Not finding Charlotte made Dick feel a little disappointed, and also made him feel that gambling was meaningless - he always played absentmindedly, looking around every now and then to see if Charlotte could
Appears suddenly - How can you find gambling interesting when you are absent-minded?
Dick went to the Monte Carlo Casino for three days in a row. Every day he hoped to see the smiling little girl greeting him. However, when he went to the casino every day, he could not see Charlotte.
This made Dick feel a little uninterested. After three days in Monaco, he finally began to feel very boring. Considering that if this continued, it might make him extremely depressed, so Dick finally decided to end it early.
Take a vacation and return to Dortmund...
Rather than being depressed in Monaco, it is better to go back to Dortmund directly at this time and rest quietly for a few days, so as not to have random thoughts in the next game, which is not good.
So Dick paid the room fee in advance and took a plane to leave Monaco. When he just got on the plane, several mysterious people who had been paying close attention to him in the past few days made a call: "Your Highness,
Dick ended his vacation early and returned to Germany."
After receiving the news, Prince Albert was thoughtful. Dick's departure at this time must not have been due to an appointment with Charlotte. Although he disappeared for a few days after leaving Dortmund, those days were Christmas.
Maybe he just went to a friend's house to spend Christmas. He came to Monaco after the New Year to have fun, which proves that he is a complete outsider... In this case...
Albert was lost in thought.
Dick flew back to Dortmund quite depressed. When he returned to Dortmund, he had nothing to hide. He just said that he went out to relax and was not afraid of being bumped into by reporters.
When Dick appeared unabashedly at Dortmund Airport, he immediately attracted people's attention.
Although it is a relatively cold time now, tourists at the airport and Dortmund fans immediately discovered Dick. Although they usually rarely disturb Dick, at this time, just after the New Year, people seemed to be relaxed.
They read a lot, so they came to Dick for his autograph one after another. It seemed that asking for Dick's autograph on this day could bring good luck and good luck.
Seeing this group of rich and humble workers asking for autographs (Dortmund is located in the Ruhr area, which is a famous industrial area in Germany. Dortmund's fans are basically workers, while Schalke's fans are basically absenteeism).
Lord), Dick seemed to be in a much better mood. He had nothing to do anyway, so he signed autographs for fans who came - Dortmund fans like to ask Dick for autographs, because Dick's signatures are not in English.
It was not signed in German, and certainly not in Spanish, but in Chinese. In the minds of many Europeans, the Chinese square characters seemed to carry a bit of mystery.
The fussing continued for two or three hours before the fans dispersed - Dick arrived at the airport around four o'clock in the afternoon, and by the time the players all dispersed, it was already seven o'clock in the evening...
After giving a wry smile, Dick called a taxi, then he got in the car and drove towards his home.
In Germany, the temperature changes in Dortmund are relatively large. In winter, it can generally reach about minus 56 degrees, while in summer the highest temperature can reach 26 degrees. Now is the coldest day of the year. Before
It's snowed just a few days ago, and it's still quite cold.
Dick lived in a wealthy local area in Dortmund - in fact, in the entire Ruhr area, Dortmund is considered a gathering place for wealthy people. Although there are many local workers, historically speaking, the average income is relatively high.
Schalke is a civilian area, mainly absenteeism, which also caused the confrontation between the two teams.
When the taxi drove to an intersection, the road was blocked by the snow in front. Dick saw that it was not far from his home, so he asked the driver to stop the car, paid the fare, and headed towards the road alone.
Walked past his own home.
He lived in an apartment rented by the Dortmund club for him. Although it was rented, the environmental facilities were quite good. Dick moved in with his bags. He had no intention of staying in Dortmund for too long, so he
He didn't buy a house in Dortmund, nor did he improve the apartment he rented. He basically kept it the same, except that his study room was a bit messy.
This is a row of side-by-side apartments. There are no high floors. The highest is two or three floors. Dick lives in a bungalow. He doesn't like the feeling of living in a high-rise. There is a small garden with a lawn behind the apartment. Dick lives in a bungalow.
When Ke has nothing to do, he likes to sit in the garden and bask in the sun - of course, it is quite a luxury to bask in the sun at this time.
The road was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of Dick stepping on the snow. The snow in the past few days was not too light, and there is still a lot of it that has not melted away. Maybe it is because the New Year has just passed. There are no people on the street, only
The streetlight illuminated Dick's path.
Quickening his pace, Dick walked into his apartment. Just as he was about to push open the low door at the wooden fence and go in, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a black shadow under the tree on the left side of the fence.
…
Dick was a little strange, but he didn't think he was a homeless person or someone who wanted to do bad things. The security in Dortmund has always been good, and because there are relatively wealthy people living around here, the security should be better.
——There is always unfairness in this world. Where rich people gather, whether it is public security or other things, it will always be slightly better.
"Is it some kind of wild animal?" Dick thought hesitantly, so he didn't dare to step forward rashly, but picked up a softball bat from the fence - that was because he was worried about public security when he moved in.
I put it there secretly, and then I didn't care about it anymore - I didn't expect it to have any effect at this time.
After thinking about it, Dick felt that it was better not to take the risk, so he coughed, picked up the softball bat to protect himself, and then shouted: "Who's there?"
The black shadow moved but made no sound - this made Dick think it was a wild animal. Then he bent down and grabbed a stone from the ground and planned to throw it at it. It would be best to scare the opponent away.
good……
Just when he was about to strike, the black shadow suddenly let out a scream.
"Damn it, it seems like someone is talking." Dick couldn't understand what he heard. He only knew that it didn't seem to be German or English. Then he saw the black shadow rushing towards him with its teeth and claws. Dick ate it.
Startled, I was about to hit him with a stone, and then I saw the other person's face clearly with the help of the moonlight reflected on the snow...
"Charlotte? Why are you here?" The shocked Dick quickly threw away the stone and softball bat in his hand - it would not be fun if he accidentally hurt this little girl. The next moment, the arrogant Charlotte fit in
Rushed into Dick's arms...
"You bastard, where have you been! I've been waiting for you here for two days! You're only going home now! I'm so angry!"
Charlotte scolded and punched Dick's chest randomly. Although she was still young, her hands were not weak at all. After being hit several times by "Tongtongtong", Dick couldn't stand it anymore.
, took an opportunity to grab Charlotte's hand with both hands, and was about to scold her a few words, but Dick closed his mouth.
Charlotte's hands were cold when he grabbed her. Although she seemed to be wearing a lot of clothes, how long had she been outside in such weather?
Thinking of this, the anger that had just been beaten by Charlotte immediately disappeared. Dick shook his head and then let go of his hand: "Have you beaten enough? Let's go in and talk about it. At least drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up. If you catch a cold,
It won’t be good if it doesn’t.”
"Of course I want to go in!" Charlotte said angrily, "But I haven't fought enough yet!"
Dick shook his head, then pushed open the fence door, then opened his own door, and then let Charlotte in.
Because Dick was not at home these days, there was no fire in the house. Dick walked around the house and found out to his embarrassment that he didn't even have a chance to make a cup of hot tea - there was no hot water at home...
Looking at Charlotte who was not even wearing a coat, Dick shook his head, then found a coat that he was wearing from the closet, and then wrapped Charlotte tightly in the coat while looking at her in surprise.
, then he clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go out for a drink and something to eat!"
Charlotte, who was wrapped up so that only her little face was exposed, looked at Dick in surprise and said loudly: "Don't you even have a cup of hot tea at home?"
"I've been out for ten days, how could I have these things!" Dick spread his hands and said.
"Where have you been? Ever since I found out that the Bundesliga winter break started, I have been waiting for you in the casino! But no matter how hard I waited, you didn't arrive! So much so that I took advantage of the New Year's party at home to sneak out to look for you! In Germany
Living alone for three days!" Charlotte yelled.
"...You came to Dortmund because you didn't wait for me?" Dick was stunned.
"Of course, I thought you, bastard, would never go to Monte Carlo again!" Charlotte snorted.
"How could it be? In fact, I just stayed in Monte Carlo for three days, but I just didn't get to meet you every day." Dick said with a hint of guilt in his heart: "Okay, okay, just treat it like this.
It's my fault, let's go out to eat first... I got off the plane at four o'clock and was blocked by fans signing autographs. Now, I haven't even eaten yet."
"Deserve it!" Charlotte's mood suddenly improved, and she smiled like a flower: "Let's go, where to eat?"
Just as Dick and Charlotte walked out of the apartment side by side, Prince Albert was still thinking hard in his study: "Where did this child Charlotte go..."
