篇章：1950年球賽門(mén)票換巴西世界杯決賽入場(chǎng)券
Brazilian soccer fan Joedir Sancho Belmonte missed the 1950 World Cup final to stay home with his sick mother. Sixty-four years later, Belmonte exchanged his original unused ticket for three new tickets to the 2023 final.
1950年巴西首次承辦世界杯，由于要在家照顧臥病在床的母親，巴西球迷朱蒂爾桑喬貝爾蒙特錯(cuò)過(guò)了巴西與烏拉圭的決賽。六十四年過(guò)后，貝爾蒙特用原版未曾使用的決賽門(mén)票換取了三張本屆世界杯決賽的入場(chǎng)券。
Now a white-haired grandfather, Belmonte has never regretted missing the 1950 match, particularly since his mother died just a few days later. I decided not to go, and it was a good decision, he told the reporters.
Brazil lost that 1950 final, 2-1, to Uruguay, a historic humiliation that still stings Brazilian fans today. Belmonte, 85, hopes he ll get to see his country regain its honor. I hope Brazil will be able to win this time, he said. This is our revenge. I want to go see our revenge.
Unfortunately, there won t be a 2023 rematch between Brazil and Uruguay, as the latter was eliminated on Saturday. If Brazil makes it to the final on July 13, the country could play Mexico, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, Greece, USA, Belgium, Argentina or Switzerland.
Belmonte s 1950 ticket will be displayed at a Zurich museum that is set to open in 2023, according to Jerome Valcke, FIFA s secretary general. This is something rare we would like to have for the museum, he said.
