When the old friends are reunited, the remaining feelings are not over.

The most sentimental football is here.

In a double dragon meeting, Porto beat Benfica as desired and won the Portuguese Cup for the 17th time in team history. All the Porto players were in a particularly high mood to relive the pleasure of nine years ago. Even Casillas, who did not appear on the stage, did not regard himself as an outsider. He even played a leading role, standing on the podium and lifting the championship trophy with the support of his teammates.

The joy of winning the championship is also stripped away from the reunion of the dead. At first, Cassie hesitated to celebrate together, but under the "instigation" of the head coach and the "shoving" of his teammates, Cassie, who used to guard the goal, still plucked up his courage, but for Porto fans, this is his holiday, where he played 156 times for four years.

Had it not been for a sudden myocardial infarction, Casillas might have written a double poem as a starting goalkeeper and former teammates.

Cassie's contribution to Real Madrid, which has played for 25 years, is absolutely meritorious. Even if the story of parting ways harbors fans, he gets another kind of spiritual shelter in Porto, which is not far from home. Apart from the alternative noisy performance of the Portuguese Cup final, he has never been forgotten in the days away from the match. For example, Porto fans have launched online voting petitions.

It is hoped that Cassie, who has not yet made his debut for the home team in the Portuguese Super League, will play symbolically for a few minutes in order to win the Portuguese Super League trophy under the rules.

In addition, during the hospitalization, Porto president Pinto da Costa also affectionately expressed: "Porto will always have a place for him."

"it seems like a simple move that means a lot to me."

The words of Cassie's social platform are short but affectionate. He has repeated his love for the city and the club more than once. Winning honors together as a player, the Portuguese Super League outside the five major leagues may go unnoticed, but for Cassie, who has left home, this is his only pride; as a "spectator" shelved by illness, he has been praying off the court to his teammates who have fought side by side.

If Porto is the only thing in his heart, it is obviously deceiving himself. At least five years after saying goodbye to Real Madrid, Cassie will return to the Bernabeu this summer as an adviser to Florentino. Casillas, who has always been emotional, cherishes the hard-won fate even more.

"Porto is like my home and I have always wanted to end my playing career here."

Although there is a feeling of regret and sadness in the air because of heart problems, the idea of "home" has never been shaken, and in terms of the reaction of the club and Porto fans, reshaping his rights five years ago was collectively echoed by legendary Portuguese goalkeeper Baya: "Cassie is the leader of Porto, he makes Porto special."

He was the first person to win a clean sheet in the Champions League here, he was the first person to play in Europe, he was named the best goalkeeper in Portuguese Super League with 18 goals in 31 games in a single season, and he continued to write a beautiful story about falling in love with Buffon.

Although the way the world remembers him is to draw a radius with Real Madrid as the center, every inch of lawn across the soles of his feet has sparked worship for heroism, winning the best newcomer in the Champions League at the age of 19 and the Golden foot Award at the age of 36.

The crossroads of life are always coming one after another, and it is inevitable that Cassie was caught off guard. In 2015, Cassie burst into tears saying goodbye to Real Madrid. He hesitated about what his next stop would be. When Cassie was hospitalized with a heart attack in 2019, he worried about whether he could return to his beloved field.

The heavy melancholy accumulated in the seemingly sunny Cassie is difficult to really recover. He had hoped that Ramos would always play football with him. He had teased Ronaldo that he was more welcome in Portugal than he was. There is sadness behind the serious joke, but time is the best medicine. Just like Pepe, who stood beside him for the rest of his life, is still his old teammate at Real Madrid. It is also a kind of peace of mind.

Many people are thinking about a question: "what kind of end point is worthy of the vagrancy along the way?"

But don't be afraid, following the light is the most ordinary way to change, even if Cassie will no longer play the well-known Poseidon needle as a goalkeeper, but the fans who like him "shoot" the respect, respect and remembrance of him. Cassie can only laugh at this gift, which is the true feedback of his 20-year long career as a player, and this is the meaning of his existence and collection.

Just like in this game, Cassie's body did not allow him to fight, but that did not prevent him from being looked at by the spotlight again.

(teammates celebrate, Cassie weeps).

Today, we don't talk too much about Cassie's honor and his white faith, but in ordinary days, once again follow the camera to take a look at the idols in adolescence. As time goes by, Cassie will change his identity, and nostalgia will become addicted. This is probably another kind of unfinished love.
