Although it's just past noon, many street performers have been performing here for a long time.
This area is popular for music and football.
Any wandering artist with some talents will have his own fixed performance venue to perform hard.
Some will be at the entrance of the subway station, some will be in front of the famous brand store, and some will be near the fountain attraction in the square.
Most experienced street performers will label themselves and have a fixed performance venue so that passers-by can identify themselves as quickly as possible.
If you want to listen to saxophone, someone may recommend you the old man in black at the subway station.
That's right, the old man wears black all year round, so that everyone can quickly find him and recommend him.
When watching a freestyle football show, someone will recommend a black guy with dreadlocks to you.
The black boy has the same hairstyle all year round, can perform various fancy street footballs, has superb skills, and often accepts various challenges.
The artists here need to be differentiated and have their own unique skills in order to gain a firm foothold in the street performing arts that are full of masters.
There are also many artists who perform on the streets on a whim, and together they add luster to the culture of Area A Square.
"This is it. Yesterday we saw Ronaldo in disguise near the Fountain Square."
Anna pointed to the fountain in the square.
Gu Chen also saw them yesterday, but there were too many street performers in Italy, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
"It seems that this afternoon is not like patrolling, but more like watching a performance." Gu Chen told the truth, envious of the fact that the Italian police can also enjoy the baptism of art while on patrol.
You know, there are quite a few professional art museums in Italy, but most of the artists who can perform in these professional venues have signed contracts with art economic companies.
Most of the artists who have not signed a contract will choose to perform outside the venue or near the square.
Those with more fans will not be inferior to artists with financial companies in terms of income.
Like the old man in black who plays saxophone at the subway entrance, and the black football guy with dreadlocks all year round, these people stay in one place all year round, and they basically perform hard for tourists regardless of wind or rain.
Therefore, these special artists are relatively well-known in the local area, and street performances are the source of all their income.
Many people come to Area A Square just to reward these favorite artists.
Everyone came to the black guy with dreadlocks. He was lying next to the fountain and playing with his mobile phone leisurely.
"Hi!" Anna walked up to him and said hello out of habit.
"Officer Anna?" The black guy with dreadlocks took one look and quickly sat upright.
"Ronaldo was playing football next to you yesterday, didn't you notice?" Anna asked him with a smile.
The black guy with dreadlocks smiled slightly and said calmly: "To be honest, Ronaldo has good skills in playing professional leagues. He is no match for me in freestyle football."
"I just saw an extra person playing freestyle football around me yesterday. I didn't think there was anything special about it."
"The special thing is that you are a football star, and you are just a well-known street performer." Police officer Mario took out his wallet, put 20 euros in the tin box in front of the black guy with dreadlocks, and said with a smile: "How about it? Perform a piece of your
What a good show, how about showing it to our police friends from China?"
"Chinese police?" The black man with dreadlocks glanced at Gu Chen, as well as Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha behind him, and was suddenly stunned for a moment.
"Oh! So it's you? I've seen you patrolling on local social software in Luocheng. I heard that you were at the Colosseum last night and solved a robbery case that night. It's really amazing."
The black guy with dreadlocks obviously recognized Gu Chen.
"Thank you." Gu Chen looked at the worn sneakers on his feet and asked, "I heard that you have been playing freestyle football for many years?"
"Haha." Hearing this, the black guy with dreadlocks couldn't help but smile and said: "I was once in the youth training camp with Ronaldo. Later, due to injury, I could no longer do strenuous exercise, so I was ruthlessly abandoned by the youth training camp.
."
After saying this, the black guy with dreadlocks sighed with emotion and seemed unwilling to mention it too much.
Anna on the side walked to Gu Chen and explained: "Matthew and Ronaldo used to be teammates. They were maliciously fouled in a game and suffered a comminuted leg fracture."
"The team doctor's advice at the time was that this kid's career was over and he could no longer play football."
"So miserable?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "I have to pay for my entire career just because of that flagrant foul. Isn't this too cruel?"
"That's right, Matthew is still so young." Yuan Shasha looked at the young Matthew with pity.
Gu Chen looked at Matthew, who had a strong body, especially his thigh muscles. He looked like he was a good player for football.
But when I think about the comminuted fracture, I can't help but feel emotional.
"So you can't play football, so you play street football instead?" Gu Chen asked.
Matthew smiled and nodded: "Yes, I like football, football is everything to me."
He looked at Gu Chen's handsome appearance and involuntarily closed the distance between the two of them: "Officer, did you know? I am a refugee. I originally played football in Italy because of an accidental opportunity."
"A chance?" Gu Chen couldn't help but frown, feeling that the eyes of the dreadlocked young man in front of him, Matthew, seemed to be full of stories.
"Yes." Matthew nodded and said with a smile: "A few years ago, I was playing football with local children near a refugee camp."
"They disliked me at first. They thought I was too thin and a refugee. They always looked at me differently."
"And every time they played football, they wouldn't let me join in. Until one time, they kicked a football and broke it, so they gave it to me and asked me to go aside and play by myself without disturbing them."
"But it was that broken football that changed my life in the years to come."
Listening to Matthew talking about his football experience, Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha all seemed to be listening with interest. Everyone stopped beside him for a while and listened quietly.
"What happens after that? How did you get selected for the youth training camp?" Gu Chen asked.
Matthew smiled and said: "I took the broken football back to the refugee camp and asked my mother to repair the broken parts."
"In this way, since the war broke out in our country, I came into contact with football again. Since then, I have been a football star in the refugee camp."
"I almost compare myself to all the kids of the same age. They are no match for me. But the stronger my ability is, the more I feel that being able to dominate in the refugee camp is nothing. I need a bigger stage, but
I never had the chance."
"So you left the refugee camp?" Officer Wang asked.
Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, I started to challenge the surrounding community."
"Every time I see someone playing football, I challenge them regardless of age. Gradually, I find that my extraordinary skills are hard to match. Almost everyone in front of me seems like a child. Their
The technology is really bad.”
"Haha." Listening to Matthew boasting, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but curiously asked: "Were you really that powerful back then? You must have been quite young then."
"He did have this strength at that time." Anna affirmed Matthew's ability. After all, her understanding of Matthew was not that simple.
Matthew pointed at Anna and said with a smile: "As Officer Anna said, I was too arrogant and confident at the time. I felt that the children in the surrounding community who played football were rubbish, and the so-called European football was nothing more than that."
"But until one time, when the temporary team I formed defeated a strong team in the community and beat the opponent by 4 goals, I was discovered by a peer who was observing from the sidelines."
"After the game, he took the initiative to find me and said that my football passing skills indeed looked dazzling, but they were not very practical. He told me that I needed professional training."
"I laughed at him at the time, but he handed me a business card and said that his uncle's youth training camp was recruiting people. As long as children pass the test, they can join the youth training camp."
"And if you play in the youth training camp, you will also enjoy a certain living allowance from the youth training camp and a share of the game bonuses."
He looked at Gu Chen listening carefully, and Matthew said with emotion: "Officer, do you know? At that time, I was just a child in a refugee camp. I had a mother and two younger sisters at home. My father died in the war, so
I want to share the pressure on my family."
"You agreed?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes, I agreed." Matthew nodded firmly and said, "The youth training camp subsidy is not high, but it is better than nothing. As long as I live frugally, at least I will have spare money to send home."
"But these are not my ultimate pursuit. My pursuit is to participate in more youth training leagues during the youth training camp, defeat opponents, and let more club managers and owners notice me."
Gu Chen smiled and said, "You are quite ambitious."
"Haha, I can't help it, I'm forced by life." Matthew also laughed dryly, and then said:
"It was not difficult for me to pass the test. After that, I said goodbye to my family and joined the youth training camp."
"I start training before dawn every day and don't go back to the dormitory until late at night."
"Every day on the training ground, I am the first to show up and the last to leave, sweating profusely."
"With my original extraordinary skills, coupled with the coach's various guidance, I soon became the absolute core of the youth training camp. I even overshadowed the boss's nephew, who introduced me, for a time.
I went to the academy to test my peers."
"Wait." Gu Chen suddenly interrupted Matthew and asked him curiously: "You have been talking for so long, and it seems that you have been focusing on the peer who introduced you to the youth training camp test. I want to know now, that
How is he doing among his peers? Is he continuing to play football?"
Gu Chen's question suddenly made Matthew hesitate.
He seemed unwilling to mention it, but always wanted to say something to Gu Chen.
Seeing that Matthew was embarrassed and unable to speak, Anna directly explained to him, smiled at Gu Chen and said: "The noble person of the same age that Matthew mentioned is today's Ronaldo."
"It's him?"
Like Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were all stunned at the same time when they heard the result, feeling a little incredible.
"It's weird, isn't it?" Looking at Gu Chen, Matthew also chuckled: "That's right, it's Ronaldo who came to the square in Area A yesterday to play football in disguise. Compared with him now, I'm in the sky."
"He now earns a high salary, while I can only perform on the streets. There is a huge difference in income."
After a pause, Matthew added: "Originally, I thought that if I joined the youth training camp to play football, I would have the opportunity to enter the Serie B club."
"Then I practiced in Serie B clubs for a few years, and then I tried to find a way to enter Serie A. It was one of the five major leagues in Europe, a temple coveted by many football players. At that time, I regarded entering Serie A as my only pursuit of playing football."
"If things develop like this, it is indeed possible for you to enter Serie A at that time." Anna crossed her arms and savored it carefully.
Mathieu and Ronaldo are both figures of the same era. They formed a frontline duo and were invincible in the youth academy league stage.
Of course, Anna only learned about Matthew from Ronaldo's game experience after paying full attention to Ronaldo.
Furthermore, Matthew was performing in the area under Anna's jurisdiction, and Anna and he were familiar with each other from time to time, and she knew a little bit about the past between him and Ronaldo.
Gu Chen sighed: "If you hadn't been injured, maybe everything would have been different. At least you haven't given up playing football now, which is good."
"Officer." Matthew looked at Gu Chen with a wry smile and said, "You don't understand. I haven't said many things to Officer Anna because Officer Anna is a fan of Ronaldo, so I have concerns."
"But you are different. You are a Chinese policeman from the far east. I seem to be more willing to communicate with you."
Listening to the conversation between Matthew and Gu Chen, Anna was a little unhappy and said: "What do you mean I am a fan of Ronaldo and you don't want to tell me? Do you treat me as an outsider?"
"No, no, Officer Anna, don't get me wrong." Matthew quickly waved his hand and quickly explained: "I'm just afraid that you will be sad. Since you want to know, I might as well tell you."
Just when Matthew was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
After casually picking up the phone, Matthew didn't speak, but just listened quietly.
But Gu Chen suddenly discovered that while Matthew was answering the phone, his originally relaxed face gradually began to show a hint of weight.
When Matthew hung up the phone, he still didn't say a word to the phone.
"What? Is something wrong?" Gu Chen asked.
Matthew came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, there are some things at home, I have to go back right now."
Having said this, Matthew began to cover the tin box containing the money, and apologized to Mario next to him: "Officer Mario, thank you for your 20 euros. It seems that the performance will not be possible today."
"Then let's pay it first." Mario didn't mind.
Before he could say goodbye to everyone, Matthew hurriedly left with the tin box and the football.
"Matthew, something happened at home," said Fabio at the side.
Gu Chen was curious, so he asked Anna: "Is Matthew still a refugee now?"
"No longer." Anna said: "Since Matthew entered the youth training camp, the club has helped Matthew's family settle in Luocheng."
"So now Matthew is a permanent resident of Italy. His family currently lives near the suburbs of Luocheng."
"So that's it." Gu Chen nodded, then looked around the square in area A, and asked Anna with a smile: "Since Matthew and Ronaldo were teammates in the youth training camp, yesterday Ronaldo appeared in the square in area A in disguise.
Matthew’s territory, do you think he is interacting with Matthew?”
"This..." Gu Chen's question was very tricky, and Anna couldn't answer it for a while. She could only smile and said: "Maybe, after all, they are former teammates. It can be said that Ronaldo came back to see his old friend."
"That's right." Fabio, who was standing between the two of them, also explained: "Ronaldo is a very good person. If it hadn't been for him, Matthew would not have become a member of the youth training camp, nor would he have become an Italian.
permanent resident of the country.”
"It can be said that Ronaldo did his best for Matthew's family. After his old friend retired from injury, he left the football league forever."
"But even under such circumstances, Ronaldo still never abandons his old friend. He comes to the square in Area A to interact with Matthew and support Matthew. You deserve to pay attention to Ronaldo like this."
Fabio is a huge Ronaldo fan.
The obsession with idols has almost reached a crazy level.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and said calmly: "If I have a chance, I want to watch Ronaldo play."
"Good advice." Lu Weiwei quickly echoed, "I've long wanted to watch football in Italy. The atmosphere makes it feel different."
Anna smiled calmly: "I will arrange this."
Several people reached a tacit understanding with each other and continued to look for disguised artists in the square of Area A.
But today seems to be very unlucky, all the performers are evergreen trees in the square in Area A.
Anna is quite familiar with these people and does not feel strange.
It was only after leading the Chinese police team to familiarize themselves with Area A Square that they drove everyone back to the hotel.
…
…
7pm.
When everyone returned to the hotel room after dinner, Gu Chen was taking notes on the day's business trip, and Officer Wang was also working hard to learn more Italian.
Everyone seems busy.
But at this moment, the hotel room door suddenly rang.
"Gu Chen, go and open the door." Officer Wang, who was reviewing the information, said.
"No problem." Gu Chen put down his pen and walked directly to the door.
As soon as the door opened, Anna held a few tickets for the football match in her hand and waved them up: "Gu Chen, what do you think this is?"
Gu Chen frowned and asked weakly: "Could it be the tickets for Ronaldo's game?"
"Congratulations on the correct answer." Anna grinned, put a few tickets into Gu Chen's hand, and walked directly into the room.
When she saw that Officer Wang was studying, and Gu Chen had written notes on his desk with the lamp on, she couldn't help but asked with emotion: "You guys still have to work so hard after get off work?"
"What else?" Officer Wang smiled lightly and said, "We are foreign police in Italy, and we need to learn many things. For example, a lot of your management experience is very valuable to us Chinese police."
"If we don't learn these things and brag about them, wouldn't it be in vain for us?"
Listening to Officer Wang's rainbow fart, Anna smiled slightly, looked at Gu Chen and said, "You don't have to work hard. There will be a Serie B league match with Ronaldo after get off work tomorrow night."
"The club heard that I wanted to buy tickets for the Chinese police, so they immediately gave me a few VIP tickets." Looking at Gu Chen, Anna said excitedly: "It's a VIP, everyone. If you can watch Ronaldo play in VIP, then
It is definitely a wonderful enjoyment, so please look forward to it.”
