The housekeeping aunt, who was fluent in Spanish, escorted Moreno and his group of five people from the house to the entrance of the security check. At the last moment of parting, their daughter Miranda and son Maximo embraced their aunt reluctantly, reluctant to let go for a long time. In the world of children, it is painful to be separated from the life in front of them. But in the adult world, life without the company of an adult is even more unbearable. This is a good reason for his wife Anna to go home two months after giving birth to her young daughter. Under the influence of the epidemic, Moreno could not better balance his family and career, so he made a little sacrifice and chose to bid farewell to this season in advance.
At the time of parting, the sadness of parting did not appear in the atmosphere of seeing off as usual. Gio smiled and told us that he would definitely come back again. It’s just that in what capacity will I come back here in the future, no one knows the answer for the time being.
The security of Pudong Airport has repeatedly emphasized that during Moreno’s departure, media and fans are not allowed to stay in order to avoid crowd gatherings. As a result, former Shenhua translator Wang Kan stayed up all night. He was worried that Moreno’s itinerary would be affected, and while maintaining communication with security, he asked the staff who arrived at the airport first to find out about the people who came to see him off.
The first to arrive at the airport before Moreno were eight 28-inch suitcases, which were carried by Shenlanpai staff and checked in in advance. The last person who was so excited to leave was Gua Lin-in July 2019, Gua Lin bid farewell to Shenhua and left Shanghai with nearly 30 boxes of luggage. In contrast, in addition to daily necessities, Moreno’s luggage is mostly gifts, such as jerseys with his own number, divided into adult and children’s versions, and the rest of the items are left in the apartment in Shanghai.
“The checked luggage this time is almost 256 jin, and there are 2 carry-on suitcases.” Wang Kan said, “It is estimated that there are still several tons (luggage) that have not been taken away.” It is understood that there are also rental contracts for those who were left in Shanghai at the same time. , The contract with the housekeeping aunt, the children’s original school registration, etc…In fact, this is more like the reason Moreno found for himself to have to come back, for the sake of the future.
It wasn’t until 5:45 in the morning when the family walked smoothly into the airport hall that Wang Kan breathed a sigh of relief. After getting off the bus, daughter Miranda and son Maximo were a little unhappy. “Will we come back?” This was the question they asked their father the most before they set off. Only the little daughter, Milagros, who was asleep in the stroller, was totally unaware of changes in the outside world. The driver who had been in charge of picking up their family for many years hurriedly walked into the lobby to find Moreno and his wife Anna and hug them one by one. Anna told him in English: “Thank you very much! See you then! Bye!”
“I will come back anyway.”
Since there is no final conclusion on whether the contract will be renewed, it is inconvenient to comment on this. When Moreno was about to refuse the interview, Wang Kan reminded him: “Let’s see who it is.” He looked up and found that it was a reporter he knew. And being the only media who came, he shrugged and smiled and said, “Then I can say a few words.”
“I don’t know about the future.” Moreno was unable to answer the fans’ most concern for the time being, but he frankly said that going home this time is just a goodbye.“This year, because of the epidemic, the situation is quite special. When the situation improves, if conditions permit, I will say goodbye to the majority of fans. It is a pity that I will not be able to accompany the team to the end this year, but if there is a chance. , I still hope to continue with the team. This time I just go home and simply take a vacation and relax. If everything goes well, I definitely hope to come back.”
The only certainty is that even if the renewal is not going well, he has made plans to come back and pick up his luggage, “Yes, I didn’t take all my luggage this time, and a lot of things are still here. So no matter what. When I come back, the children also hope to come back, because many of their friends are here. As for other things, it still depends on the decision between the club and me.”
When saying goodbye to the team at the base the day before, everyone learned that the captain would return, so no teammates and staff came to the airport. Coupled with the earlier flight time, Moreno was ready to leave quietly, so when more than 20 fans appeared in front of him, he was still taken aback by the situation. At the request of the security, he walked forward quickly while satisfying everyone’s signature needs. This group of fans, who had arrived at the airport at four in the morning, followed closely behind, for fear of losing him. Even when he walked into the baggage inspection room, someone thought he was going to leave from there, and involuntarily followed in.
“You will always be our hero!”, “We are waiting for you to come back!”Suddenly, one simple English expression broke out from the crowd who had been silent for a long time. The moment Moreno entered the barrier, someone yelled anxiously: “Gio! Gio! Gio!” The voice gradually dissipated with his back, and some fans were already full of tears. The warm-hearted housekeeping aunt comforted: “Don’t cry, he will be back in two months!” Everyone was relieved and uneasy, and left with a loss.Return to Sohu to see more
