Chapter 667: Su Dong is an old driver!
The Champions League final is an exciting feast for the two participating teams, but for Rome, the host city of the final, it is not only an opportunity to stimulate economic development, but also a heavy responsibility.
Safety issues are especially important!
Not only the Rome city government, but also the Italian government is paying close attention to it.
Last October, an extreme Roma fan attempted to attack away fans with a knife. After being arrested by the police, there have been no more clashes or bloodshed at the Olympic Stadium. This time, the Rome City Government also made a promise to UEFA that there would never be another bloody conflict.
Therefore, before the final, Rome announced that the sale and appearance of alcoholic beverages would be banned within the city limits.
In addition, not only the entire city of Rome's police force was mobilized, but Italy also tried its best to dispatch security forces, including the gendarmerie, armed police, financial security and local police, etc. All available forces were deployed to the city of Rome, and more than a thousand additional security personnel were specially added.
Therefore, on the eve of the final, patrolling security personnel could be seen everywhere in the city of Rome. They would stop suspicious persons for investigation at any time, which is basically impossible to see on weekdays.
But even so, I still dare not be careless.
According to information provided by the city government, the Olympic Stadium can accommodate 67,000 fans, of which 50,000 are from outside Italy, mostly Spain and Germany. However, according to data held by the government, at least another 10,000 fans came to Italy but were unable to enter.
That means there will be 10,000 people wandering outside the stadium.
This is absolutely a terrifying number.
Even though the Rome city government has repeatedly emphasized safety, Wang Chuqing, who came to Rome early to travel with her parents and Su Dong's parents, still insisted on going out during the day and staying at home at night. She would stay in the hotel after dark and go out to visit major attractions during the day.
Especially on the night of the 26th, a fan was stabbed in the left leg. It was said that there was a conflict with Italian fans. There is still no detailed investigation result.
Su Dong originally suggested that they hire two or three bodyguards, but was rejected by his parents and Wang Qingquan and his wife.
They were not used to being followed by strangers like this. Even when he was out on business on behalf of the company, Wang Qingquan rarely had bodyguards.
Of course, the domestic security is definitely much better than in Italy.
Especially in the organization of such large-scale events.
…
In addition to the safety risks, Roma and Italy have also put a lot of effort into this Champions League final.
In recent years, Italy's economy has been relatively depressed, and the stimulus that the Champions League final has brought to the local area is very obvious, which has been confirmed in the past few years.
Not to mention anything else, just these tens of thousands of fans flocking to Rome will bring about such astonishing consumption.
Not to mention the potential benefits brought by the Champions League final, which will benefit the city of Rome in the next two years.
In order to bring more freshness to the fans and tourists coming from afar, the whole city of Rome is decorated with a very football atmosphere.
Huge advertisements of Sudong can be seen everywhere in the streets of the city. Some of Sudong's sponsors have even launched a series of marketing activities specifically for Sudong fans in prominent areas.
The most special thing is the display of the European Champions League champion St. Bledsoe Cup outside the Colosseum in Rome.
Before the Champions League final, the St. Bledsoe Cup was displayed. This is actually not new. It is a traditional program before the final every year. But what is really interesting is that a grand collective wedding was organized in Rome.
So, in the square in front of the Colosseum, the St. Bride Cup was displayed in a glass cover, but dozens of young men and women who were getting married gathered at the scene. They held their wedding together today and walked into the isolation area one by one to take photos with the St. Bride Cup.
This is also the biggest benefit for the newlyweds participating in the group wedding today!
There were many fans and media reporters gathered at the scene, as well as the newlyweds and their relatives and friends, so the scene was very lively and even a little crowded.
…
Wang Chuqing and others stood on the periphery, watching with a smile a young man and woman in dresses and suits, holding flowers, taking photos in front of the St. Bled Cup. They were smiling very happily, and everyone at the scene gave them a round of applause to express their blessings.
This made Wang Chuqing smile and applaud along with everyone else.
"Xiao Qing, find a chance and I'll talk to that brat and ask him to marry you right away!" Yang Xiu Yu suggested with a smile.
By September, Su Dong was already 25 years old, which means he was 26 according to the domestic age.
It is indeed not too late to get married at this age, but among professional players, it is really considered late.
You know, many professional players get married and have children in their early twenties. Even if some of them are not married, they have at least several children. Unlike Su Dong, he still has no children.
Logically speaking, his relationship with Wang Chuqing was stable, and they should have gotten married a long time ago.
The more Su Wenjie and his wife looked at this future daughter-in-law, the more satisfied they were. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a very good personality. Most importantly, she was sincere towards Su Dong. For two or three years, she had been the one who picked up and dropped off Su Dong, rain or shine.
Where can I find such a good girl?
Su Dong's parents' proposal made Wang Chuqing a little shy, but Wang Qingquan and his wife were happy.
They had this idea a long time ago, but they just didn't know how to say it out loud.
Apart from anything else, now the whole world knows that Wang Chuqing is Su Dong's girlfriend, but there is a difference between a girlfriend and a wife, and only when the status is settled early can people feel at ease.
"I support it too. Settle down earlier, get married earlier, and let us have grandchildren earlier. Isn't that a good thing?" Wang Qingquan laughed. He also agreed very much.
My precious daughter is older than Su Dong, and I can’t delay any longer.
They all knew Su Dong, so there was nothing wrong with him. But young people can't stand quarrels, right? Nowadays, there are many cases of young people quarreling and breaking up. It's not easy to meet a rich son-in-law like Su Dong, so you have to grab him quickly.
Su Wenji was also happy. "If that's the case, then it's settled. I'll talk to Su Dong later. After the game is over and we return home, we'll find time to come and formally arrange the marriage first, and then slowly discuss the marriage."
"Let's do it!" Wang Qingquan made the decision on the spot.
The reason why the two did not ask Wang Chuqing for her opinion was because her expression and reaction were already very obvious. She was just reserved and refused to nod, but she must have already agreed in her heart.
The parents on both sides are not troublesome people. Since they have decided to get engaged first, the formalities can be laid out.
Whatever the man thinks or whatever the woman asks, just talk about it openly.
In fact, as long as there is no hiding and too much calculation in this kind of thing, and both parties are considering it for the sake of the two young people, then there is really nothing to conflict about and it can be easily reached.
Especially for a family like theirs, things would be easier if red tape could be avoided.
…………
…………
Su Dong didn't know that he was "engaged" without his knowledge.
Actually, this is not a big deal.
The reason why his parents didn't ask him was because he had already told them about this matter before.
Originally, according to his idea, the two families just had a meal together and announced their relationship.
But Su Wenji felt that this was too hasty and he had to show enough sincerity to the woman. After all, Wang Qingquan was from a respectable family and it was impossible for him to marry his daughter off casually, right? So, that was what happened in Rome.
However, when Wang Chuqing accompanied both parents on a trip to Rome, Su Dong truly experienced the difficulties.
He still can't drive! Yes, a few years ago, in Lisbon, then in Valencia, then in Barcelona, and even when he joined Bayern Munich three years ago, Su Dong was always talking about learning to drive, but so far, he has not taken even a single lesson.
Over the past few years, Wang Chuqing drove him to training every day.
Wang Chuqing has not been around these past few days, and Su Dong suddenly discovered that he seemed to have a limp.
Pepe, Marcelo, Modric, Mascherano and others were willing to pick him up, but it was still inconvenient.
It was at this time that Su Dong suddenly realized that Wang Chuqing had become so important to him.
"What? Are you determined to learn how to drive again?"
On the way back to Greenwald, Pepe asked Su Dong with a smile.
He didn't know how many times he had heard that Su Dong wanted to learn how to drive. Don't take it too seriously! "I feel like you look down on me." Su Dong smiled bitterly.
"Don't say that. How could that be? It's just driving, isn't it? I was just picking you up and dropping you off when I thought to myself, God is really fair. He gave you an unparalleled talent for football, but also made you afraid of learning to drive."
Actually, Su Dong didn't have any fear of learning to drive. He just didn't have the time.
But in the eyes of others, he seemed to be making excuses. Otherwise, looking at Bayern, even Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller were driving, but Su Dong didn't have a driver's license. How could this be justified? In the core circle around Su Dong, Su Dong's driving skills had become a joke.
They all teased him that he was an old driver, the kind with quotation marks.
Everyone knows that he often mentions it, but it is basically difficult to achieve.
But it doesn’t matter, Bergkamp doesn’t even dare to take a plane.
What's the matter with Su Dong refusing to learn how to drive?
"To be honest, Su, it's really not suitable for you to learn how to drive now." Pepe said, trying hard to hold back a smile.
"Why?" Su Dong was surprised.
"It's very simple. Think about it. How big of a figure are you now? How would you let your coach teach you? Would he dare to teach you? Also, what would the media and fans think if they knew about it? Would they come over to watch you learn to drive?"
Su Dong has already imagined the scene of being watched by the media and fans while learning to drive. That is really terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that his embarrassing driving lessons will be reported in the newspapers every day. Shit, will he ever be able to see people again in the future?
Thinking of this, Su Dong felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
This guy is so famous, which can be a hassle sometimes!
He really regretted it now. Why didn't he learn to drive earlier? At least, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed if he didn't learn well at that time!
I heard that the driving instructor was very fierce. How could Su Dong deal with this?
Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
