只為見Messi一面 印度球迷騎腳踏車到俄羅斯
作者:行大昀 ‧ 2018年06月21日 17:14
印度足球迷Clifin Francis只是自由工作者,專門教授數學,一天僅僅入帳30英鎊(約
1200元台幣),但當友人去年8月問他要不要去看世界盃足球賽時,他想都沒想就回答「
當然!」儘管他根本還沒想到該怎麼付機票錢。
「我知道沒有足夠的錢飛去俄羅斯,甚至在那邊待上一個月。我問問自己,最省錢的方法
是什麼呢?答案就是騎腳踏車。」Francis回憶。
朋友們不相信他的狂語,不過這沒有阻撓他的行動。
今年2月他踏上壯遊之旅,他先飛到杜拜再搭船到伊朗,把距離縮短到4200公里後,這才
跨上腳踏車,直直朝向他心目中的英雄-阿根廷球星Lionel Messi-前進。
「我熱愛騎腳踏車,也對足球瘋狂,只是把這2項興趣融合在一起。」Francis不以為意的
說。
不過在出發前,Francis可沒想過路途會超乎想像的曲折。「旅途中的變動花了我很多錢
,像是我沒辦法在杜拜拿腳踏車,只好花700迪拉姆買輛新的,雖然那輛車不太適合長途
旅行,但我也沒錢買更好的。」
剛啟程的挫折沒有讓他煩惱太久,因為他在伊朗渡過一段愉快的時光,「那真是世上最美
好的國家,人們也都很熱情,我大概待了45天吧,不過只有2天住旅館。」大部分的時間
,當地人都邀約他到家裡作客,甚至請他吃飯,Francis也因此對伊朗改觀,「他們要我
發誓到俄羅斯後,一定要幫伊朗隊加油。」Francis說。
下一站到亞塞拜然時,他也遇到有趣的事件-移民官對他的旅遊證明有意見。
因為經過長途騎車後,他的外表因為體重減少變得跟以前完全不同,「我和護照裡的照片
根本是不同人,警察花了將近8小時才確認我的身份。」
Francis騎車想進入東歐國家喬治亞,卻發現不被允許入境,「我全部資料都備齊了,到
現在還是不解為什麼不能入境。」他等待了整整一天才緊急申請到簽證。
目前Francis才剛抵達坦波夫,距離俄羅斯首都莫斯科約460公里,他希望自己能趕上26日
丹麥和法國在首都的比賽,「那是我唯一買到的票。」
「不過我最支持的國家還是阿根廷,Lionel Messi是我最愛的選手,我真的很崇拜他,希
望最後能見他一面,請他在我的腳踏車上簽名。」
雖然Francis離實現夢想還有一大步的距離,但他希望自己的旅程能夠激勵世人投入足球
和體育,「真希望有天能見到印度站上世界盃舞台,而想看到這樣的場景,絕對需要更多
印度小孩投入足球,我覺得未來20年有希望進軍世界盃。」
