Chapter 68: A Gift from Heaven
Today was not Ding Yue's first match in France. In addition to the amazing start, Ding Yue doesn't seem to have a sluggish performance in these days. And today's match in Valenciennes is a long-planned event in the French Chinese circle.
It's so rare. It fell from the sky like a gift. Ding Yue's birth soon caused a storm in the Chinese circle in France.
Scoring goals in a row and three rounds of the best players in Ligue 1 made the Chinese in France feel extremely proud and proud. Under the organization of people with hearts, there is today's collective viewing activity. Just looking at the number of people who 'besieged' Ding Yue, you can know how popular Ding Yue is now in the Chinese community in France.
Ding Yue straightened his clothes and walked towards the two hundred fans, his expression was calm, but he was still a little nervous in his heart.
For people in the Chinese circle, this low-key off-field but extremely flamboyant Chinese player is definitely not just a court idol. You must know that in foreign countries, discrimination against Chinese is still a very common phenomenon, and in foreign life that is accustomed to being oppressed and insulted from time to time, every weekend, you can see Ding Yue's heroic performance in Ligue 1.
Suddenly, the French people around me changed their tone when they talked to them about football. Let the Chinese people in France suddenly have a feeling of being saved....even people who don't like football, active and passive, have begun to understand Ding Yuelai.
Xu Luoluo likes Ding Yue very much, and after Saint-Etienne finished playing Lyon, she began to organize activities to cheer for Ding Yue on the spot in the Q group of international students. In fact, she is one of the main organizers of today's event.
However, she was about to see him today, and she knew that the mood of chasing stars was really the same ....., as if she saw those domestic girls chasing South Korean Oba at the airport... Because the few girls around me now are such performances.
Walking in front of everyone, Ding Yue stopped. The scene suddenly fell silent, which made him feel slightly uneasy. Everyone was waiting for him to say a few words. But they only saw Ding Yue's shy expression.
Scratching his head, Ding Yue smiled embarrassedly: "Oops, it's the first time I've seen this kind of big scene, I... I'm going to sign this process directly, or I'll say hello to everyone first. ”
The scene burst into laughter.
Ding Yue had one or two fan sisters in his previous life, but he had been crawling in society all these years, and he really hadn't experienced these scenes, but after a little joke, the scene began to come alive.
"Ding Yue, can you sign my name?"
Xu Luoluo grabbed a Saint-Etienne home jersey with Ding Yue's number and name printed with both hands and shouted in the crowd.
Ding Yue also saw this cute young lady, who waved his jersey from the moment he walked over.
Nodding, Ding Yue moved two steps, took the signature pen in her hand, held it in her palm, and seriously signed the first signature she signed for the fans in her life.
"Thank you. Xu Luoluo watched Ding Yue sign his name, raised his head, smiled at Ding Yue and said, "You played so well, Ding Yue, come on! We will always pay attention to you!"
"Thank you, thank you. ”
Ding Yue thanked him and walked over to the other fans who needed autographs.
Everyone's faces were filled with happy expressions, and Ding Yue gradually let go, talking to the fans... I actually found a few fellows.
In the end, at the kind invitation, Ding Yue also joined the Q group formed by these fans, and was 'let go'. trotted to the front of the team bus.
"Thank you!
Before Ding Yue got into the car, he turned around and waved his hand to everyone, thanking everyone again.
got into the car, and suddenly his eyes were moistened by an indescribable emotion, Ding Yue looked out the window, and those lovely people still waved their hands in the direction of the bus.
His right hand seemed to inadvertently wipe the corner of his eye, and Ding Yue kept waving goodbye.
In a foreign land, and only in a foreign land, do you know the word blood is thicker than water.
Every time he walked around Saint-Etienne's eldest sister and could meet a yellow-skinned face, Ding Yue could be excited for a while.
Today, these French Chinese gave him such a big surprise. The bus drove out of the stadium, Ding Yue couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up.
Yes, I will keep trying!
Ding Yue said silently in his heart.
……
……
Back in Saint-Etienne, Ding Yue still trains as usual every day, but because he joined the Q group, he also has an additional entertainment project every day, that is, blowing water with these Chinese people in France.
In fact, Ding Yue's ability to integrate into the foreign environment is already good, and there is no problem with language communication now, and he also mingles with his teammates....However, talking about interesting things every day with Chinese people is still a different kind of emotion and happiness.
Everyone was chatting in the group about what was happening in France and exchanging experiences with each other... After two or three days, Ding Yue felt that he was in France, and he didn't seem to be so alone.
November 21st. Saint-Etienne away to Nancy.
Located in the heart of the French region of Lorraine, Nancy is the second largest city in the region after the capital Metz, and the capital of the department of Meerte-Moselle. And Paris is 350 km, which is not a very close distance.
But on the same day, in the group, there were still 117 people who signed up to watch the game in Nancy.
Ding Yue felt a little embarrassed to let everyone run so far, and it was a bit of a ruin.
But the people in the group were in high spirits, repeatedly emphasizing that Ding Yue must not affect his mentality because of this... This Nancy is still a famous historical and cultural city, and it is also one of the financial centers of Europe, with regional operas, national theater ballets, national theater centers, symphony troupes, national music schools, museums and other attractions... I've been wanting to go shopping for a long time. What's more, it only takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach it from Paris by high-speed train on the European East Line, and distance is not a problem.
Sunday's game.
Ding Yue started again.
Founded in 1920, the Nancy team collapsed in 1965 due to financial crisis and was re-established two years later.
As a typical "lift" in Ligue 1, it has not yet touched the league title. But this team has had a superstar, and that's Platini.
It's a pity that today's Nancy, let alone Platini, is not a substitute player for the French national team.
Bloodless, Saint-Etienne won 3-1 away again.
The front trident E-Revelli, Payette and Ding Yue scored one goal each.
The Chinese fans present made a big flag this time, and repeatedly cut to this national flag during the CCTV broadcast... also made the group after the game, in addition to Ding Yue's goal, there was a lot of talk to talk about.
When scoring goals became the norm....world football.......and so did it.
