Fabregas, back in the starting lineup, felt very conflicted.
He hadn't expected his friend to leave Barca.
Even more unexpected, after returning to Barca for half a year.
He went from being one of the top three midfielders in the world to a fringe player in the team, even being assigned to play as a forward.
If he could turn back time.
He might have chosen to stand firm.
This was not the glorious homecoming Fabregas had hoped for.
The music had ended.
Huang Kaiwen and Puyol flipped a coin.
Puyol lost the choice of field.
At 7:45 PM, the Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson blew the whistle to start the match.
Some Barca players had noticed Huang Kaiwen and Torres switched positions, but they still didn't know what this meant.
The two passed the ball back after kickoff.
Fabregas sprinted forward.
Kaka turned around and kicked the ball.
