Chapter 84
"You're so energetic, didn't you just ...... yesterday?"
"Talk less and do more!" Leng Fei carried Jenkinson to the training ground, and the two began to continue training.
Today is an open training session, so there are a lot of fans watching from the sidelines of the training ground, and even though it is already work time, the students on summer vacation are still very free, wandering around the training base, hoping that they can hit the big luck and meet one or two stars.
The training is still going on, of course, the pre-season training is very simple, it is some very simple physical recovery training and acclimatization training to get the players back to the rhythm of the high-intensity game, and this is also in China, there is no need for closed training, all training is open, of course, the fans and the stars are still separated by a layer of iron net, otherwise, this training will be carried out.
Occasionally, when the players are resting in the middle of training, they can go to the sidelines to sign autographs and take photos with the fans.
After the day's training, in addition to signing autographs and taking photos of the fans, Leng Fei also complied with the decision and invited Arsenal's teammates out to dinner. ”
Leng Fei smiled, since Wenger didn't go, he wouldn't invite, although the French coach is the best tempered coach in the Premier League, but in Arsenal's dressing room, Wenger is absolute prestige, Arsenal has been losing core members in recent years, but although the league's results are not as good as before, it is still among the top four, many fans feel that Arsenal's real non-sale is not Fabregas, not Henry, not Vieira Gala Ashley Cole van Persie, but Wenger!
"Don't drink too much, though." Arsene Wenger reminded him later.
The Arsenal players are very happy to be recognized by Arsene Wenger, you know, the professor is very strict with the players, and the diet is also very strict, and it is rare for the professor to let the players go out to eat and drink by themselves.
"Kim! Where to eat today? Wilshere touched his stomach, he was already hungry, in fact most of his teammates were like this, at noon, many players deliberately ate a lot less, just waiting for tonight's meal.
Since he said that he wanted to treat him, of course Leng Fei had already checked the relevant information, and also found a good place, he had also stepped on it before, and the taste and environment were very good - located on the shore of West Lake, a hotel with a history of more than 160 years, outside the building.
He has already contacted the hotel and booked a place, Arsenal came to China this time with 23 people, so he called two tables, the hotel also attaches great importance to the collective action of the Arsenal stars this time, this is a great opportunity to promote the hotel.
Sitting in the position, Leng Fei, as the host, naturally needs to greet the guests, and when the waiters bring the dishes one by one, Leng Fei is also responsible for introducing them.
This hotel pays great attention to the color and aroma of the dishes, so each dish looks delicious, and each dish will attract a burst of saliva as the waiter puts it on the table.
Some cold dishes are on the table, Leng Fei raised the chopsticks and demonstrated the use of chopsticks to his teammates, however, Leng Fei taught this group of foreigners how to use chopsticks, Leng Fei taught him very desperately, such as Walcott, at the beginning he picked up a chopstick with one hand, and he couldn't wait to eat the vegetables, he had already drooled on the pot that looked super delicious, but when it was really time to use chopsticks, Walcott was dumbfounded, no matter how hard he tried, the strength of the two hands was not needed, and he was clamped for a long time, Except for a little juice on the top of the chopsticks, nothing was picked up.
"Kim! How to use these two sticks! Walcott shouted.
"It's called chopsticks!" Leng Fei stepped forward, held his chopsticks, and then carefully demonstrated in front of Walcott, Walcott stared at Leng Fei's hand for a full ten seconds, and then tried to pick up the chopsticks with one hand, but couldn't open them.
"Hell! Do you Chinese eat in such a troublesome way! "Walcott tried several times, but it didn't work.
"You're stupid, Theo!" Wilshere stood up, holding his chopsticks triumphantly, he was already slightly proficient at closing one by one, at least, as long as it wasn't too difficult to hold, he could still get it.
"Call me stupid? Jack, you wait......" said Walcott as he continued to study the use of chopsticks.
A few minutes later, Van Persie, Wilshere, Sagna, Szczesny, Koscielny, Bella and others were already able to eat, and of course, Leng Fei ate the most...... Oh, and by the way, there's also a Japanese Ryo Miyaichi.
"What shit!" Walcott was a little anxious, he was already able to try to pick up the saliva chicken that made him drool all over the floor, but he still hadn't picked it up much, and it fell back into the bowl, and the saliva chicken didn't eat, and his chest was already splashed with juice.
"Ahaha! Look at the way you look! Many players laughed, Walcott was annoyed, isn't he just a saliva chicken, look at Lao Tzu directly with his hands!
"How's it taste?" Leng Fei asked with a smile.
Walcott nodded as he ate, a native of England like him, Walcott estimated that he had never eaten Chinese food in his life, and British food was not delicious, here, he finally realized what real food is.
Leng Fei saw that the cold dishes were almost finished, and called the waiter: "Let's serve hot dishes." ”
After bottoming out one plate after another, Jenkinson wiped his mouth: "Kim, no more?" ”
"Who said that! The show has just begun, and it's just an appetizer for everyone. Leng Fei looked at his teammates with a smile, there is really nothing to say about cold dishes, there are them in various hotels, and the hot dishes here are the essence of what is worth coming!
Speaking of which, they all got excited, and the hotel didn't make the stars wait too long.
"This is the West Lake vinegar fish," Leng Fei introduced to his teammates, "This is a dish that you have to order when you come here, sweet and sour, I think it's delicious, and have you ever eaten crabs?" It also smells like this on the inside. ”
"It's called Huatong chicken, uh, just remember that it's chicken, right, it's delicious, right?" There is no need for Leng Fei to introduce it, and the fragrance emitted has already made their index fingers move.
"This is Longjing shrimp, shrimp cooked with tea leaves, a famous dish in Hangzhou."
"Dongpo stewed pork is a thousand-year-old Chinese dish, I won't say more, you will know if you eat it."
"Yuan fish simmered pigeon, from the beginning of cooking to the table, it takes nearly three hours, as for what you did in these three hours, you can taste it."
After that, a large number of dishes that dazzled Leng Fei were served one after another, and Leng Fei couldn't recognize the few dishes served in the back, but fortunately, those guys had already fully focused on the pile of dishes that were almost dizzying, and few listened to his nonsense.
The dishes have not yet been served, but there is no place on the table, Leng Fei raised his chopsticks and waved his hand: "Brothers, get ready to serve!" ”
"Hulala" These guys have long been hungry and panicked, and one by one they stretched out their chopsticks like hungry wolves, only making people wonder where what they had eaten before.
On this day, everyone had a great time, ah, no, to be precise, it should be a happy meal, and now they finally understand why Chinese food is the best thing in the world.
"Kim, you used to be able to eat these things every day?" Walket looked at Leng Fei enviously, he ate this meal today, I am afraid that he will not be able to forget the taste of this meal for a long time in the future, thinking that Leng Fei used to be able to eat such delicious things every day, Walcott was envious and jealous......
"Why, if I could really eat this every day, I wouldn't come to play." Leng Fei smiled and patted Walcott on the shoulder.
"Why?" Walcoat asked stupidly and naively.
"It's expensive!!"
After that, taking a period of time before returning to the hotel, Leng Fei took his teammates to tour around the West Lake, near the West Lake, there is still an antique atmosphere, so that the Arsenal players have seen other characteristics of China in addition to the high-rise buildings, which are not much different from London, just like Chinese look at European churches and auditoriums, for Chinese classical architecture, these people always think that they are very serious, walking quietly, in fact, this is just a relatively old looking street, There are also such trails abroad, which are not tourist resorts, Leng Fei looked at them with a serious look on their faces, and smiled secretly in his heart.
Shortly thereafter, the players returned to the hotel one after another, along the way, chatting with their teammates about what they saw, Wenger stood at the door of the hotel and saw that the players returned to the hotel normally, nodded with satisfaction, I didn't expect Leng Fei to be able to organize activities, you see, these guys are safe.
Although they met a lot of fans along the way and the trip was a little later than expected, it was fortunate that they were not late and they returned to the hotel before the time set by Arsene Wenger.
Tomorrow is the last day of the Asia tour, after which they will return to London, but to be exact, they will also have to go to Germany to take on Cologne, oh, a friendly of course.
After that, there is also the Emirates Cup, this kind of game is of little significance, like Ajax's Amsterdam Cup, it is for players to find game form and recover physical fitness, this Emirates Cup invited an Argentine powerhouse Boca Juniors from South America, and a team played by the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer and the king of Highbury, and the other is Paris Saint-Germain of Ligue 1.
The next day, in addition to training in the morning, the team attended some activities in the afternoon, and then left Hangzhou in the evening, Leng Fei's parents did not come to Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport to see him off because of work, but because of the holiday, to send Leng Fei, in fact, she is in Hangzhou these days, her family, maybe because of Tang Hui and Leng Fei's growing reputation, the voice of opposition has gradually subsided, and it is tacit for the time being.
Xiaoshan Airport, at more than seven o'clock in the evening, fans gathered there, farewell to the players, Leng Fei got off the bus, the bus stopped in the wide parking lot, and there were some fans in the parking lot, but not much, Leng Fei got off the car for the last time, and at a glance, he saw a blue car, although it was already dark, but the lights on the parking lot still allowed him to see clearly who was in the car, Wanwan and her driver who he saw in the past two days.
"Kim, what's wrong with you?" Arsene Wenger walked up and asked.
"Uh, sir, excuse me, can I go to the bathroom?"
"Huh? Oh, of course, go for it. Wenger nodded, then looked back: "There are still a couple of reporters there, we are waiting for you there." ”
"Got it!" Leng Fei ran away, as if he was really holding back his urgency.
Seeing Leng Fei leaving alone, Wanwan was secretly happy in her heart, originally her plan was to come over and take a look, because Leng Fei would definitely be surrounded by many people, at this time, Wanwan glanced at those reporters, and no one followed.
Wanwan got out of the car, and the driver in the car turned his head: "Miss......"
"Just wait for me here." I don't look back at night.
"But...... Stay safe, Miss! The driver had no choice but to wait obediently in the car.
"I'm not a kid again!" Wanwan's voice came from a distance, the driver in the car shook his head and smiled slightly, he almost watched Wanwan grow up, except for that kid, he had never seen a guy who could make Miss so persistent, sometimes, even to his boss, that is, Tang Hui, he would lose his temper, but, it seems, Wanwan doesn't seem to have any temper with that kid......
Leng Fei rubbed in the corner of the parking lot for a long time, thinking that he didn't see him Wanwan, he was a little disappointed, and after waiting for a while, when Leng Fei was about to leave, a voice stopped him, of course it was no one else.
Wanwan stood behind her, her petite body was imprinted by the headlights of the airport not far away, like a silhouette, she stood there alone, Leng Fei suddenly felt a sense of guilt from her heart, yes, guilt, so that Yiren was standing alone in the light, and she had not yet reacted.
"Wanwan ......" stepped forward and hugged Wanwan into his arms with both hands, as if to wash away the guilt just now, Leng Fei hugged him tightly.
"You...... Hey......" Wanwan shook her shoulders and found that there was no way to shake it off, so Wanwan simply relaxed herself, put all her weight on Leng Fei's body, and lay there with peace of mind.
"I ...... I'm about to leave......" Leng Fei didn't know what to say, so he could only mutter.
Wanwan laughed: "I know, that's why I came to Songsong you, okay, don't be so unhappy, it's not like you won't see you again." ”
Leng Fei listened to Wanwan's laughter, felt a little relieved, and patted her on the back: "If I have time, I will definitely come to the Netherlands to see you, so don't run around, don't leave without saying a word like that time, you know?" At this moment, Leng Fei suddenly found that he couldn't accept the pain of losing the person in his arms again for the second time, originally, in his previous life, he thought that he could live without her, maybe so, but the second encounter in this life, he felt that it was not as simple as before.
Wanwan was slightly stunned, and then nodded, at this time, she also discovered that in fact, he who was extremely beautiful on the court also had a vulnerable side at this moment, and all this was caused by himself, Wanwan raised her head with an apology in her eyes: "No, I promise." ”
"Hmm." Next, the two of them didn't say a word, in fact, at this time, there was no need for words.
Not far away, the Arsenal players and Wenger greeted the fans under a burst of flashing lights, the speed of the march was very slow, Wenger frowned and glanced at the airport hall, he wouldn't be met by reporters on the way to the toilet, right? In this case, the flight will not wait for anyone! Luckily, I arrived half an hour early.
A burst of flashing lights also made Leng Fei notice, time was running out, Leng Fei let go of his hand, looked at Wanwan's pretty face, and then hugged him tightly, but the difference was that he lowered his head.
Wanwan's head was raised slightly, and Leng Fei's gaze was stared at together, before that, Wanwan must have been stared at for a few seconds, but after last time, she also let go a lot, anyway, the wood is already in the boat, she is already his person, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Wanwan closed her eyes, and the next moment, a slightly heavy breathing sound reached her ears, and Wanwan finally had a slight fever on her face, but soon, she didn't think about anything.
Within ten centimeters of the two of them, there was no sound, only the sound of their breathing and each other's heartbeats, and the surrounding air revealed a sweet taste.
How long has it been? For the two of them, there is not much concept of time, maybe a minute, maybe an hour, but it doesn't matter, the flash lights not far away are bright and dim, as if they can be shrouded in a romantic atmosphere, faintly dim......
Lips parted, Wanwan opened his eyes, and gently hammered Leng Fei's chest: "It's not early, right?" Don't keep them waiting too long. ”
Leng Fei smiled and nodded, the two let go of their arms, the residual temperature of Wanwan's body was still in Leng Fei's hands, if he could, he really didn't want to leave, but this was also unrealistic, if the team came to find him in the end, it would be troublesome.
Leng Fei kissed Wanwan on the forehead again: "So, I'm leaving?" ”
Wanwan nodded, Leng Fei gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and turned around and left there.
"Far!" Wanwan's voice came from behind, Leng Fei stopped, turned to look at Wanwan.
"That...... Remember to miss me! Nothing more, goodbye! After saying this, Wanwan lowered her head and stopped talking.
Leng Fei smiled knowingly and nodded vigorously: "Definitely!" ”
At this time, she is no different from an ordinary little girl in love, Miss Qianjin, uh, so what?
Leng Fei turned around again and strode towards the airport, this time, he really left, not far ahead, some reporters had already discovered Leng Fei, and suddenly the flashing lights were great, in China, any Arsenal star, fame can not cover Leng Fei, this is China, people are most concerned, of course, it is the star of their own country.
Wanwan watched Leng Fei from afar, in the distance, it seemed that he also glanced back, Wanwan smiled happily, and his heart was sharp, maybe it was this time, right?
It wasn't until Leng Fei's voice and shadow were completely blocked by the other people that he slowly walked back to the blue car.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm back." Wanwan sat in the back seat with a happy face.
"Okay, are you going to go back? Miss? The driver turned his head and asked.
"No, go to a better place to see him." Wanwan shook her head and said.
"Huh?"
Although Leng Fei was not seen in the middle of the reporters, when he boarded the plane, Wanwan still saw him, and regardless of whether Leng Fei could see it or not, Wanwan opened the car window, poked his head out, and waved his hand.
After the plane took off completely, Wanwan shrank into the car: "Uncle Zhang, thank you for your hard work, let's go back." ”
Back in London, Wenger disbanded the team, the players went home to rest, Leng Fei also drove back to the apartment of the original Highbury Stadium, because he lived alone at home, so the room was very messy, and he didn't bother to clean up, thinking that he would find a part-time worker to clean up in the future.
A few days after returning to London, the Arsenal first team regrouped and left London again, this time to a closer destination, a friendly against Cologne in Germany.
For Arsene Wenger, this game is very important, because this game is the most high-level team encountered before the Emirates Cup, although in the Bundesliga, Cologne can only be regarded as a mid-tier team, but the German international in his team, Podolski is a very strong player, is the absolute core of Cologne, in fact, the German international known as the "Prince of Porti" can stand firm even among the giants, let alone such a mid-stream team.
The Rheinland Energy Stadium, where the friendly match between Arsenal and Cologne is taking very seriously, Cologne took this friendly very seriously, and they almost sent their strongest squad to face Arsenal.
However, in terms of strength, Cologne is still a head lower than Arsenal, in the first 30 minutes, Walcott and Wilseld scored a goal to easily lead 2:0, while Cologne was completely pressed, and its core member, Prince Porti, did not have many chances to get the ball, and it was difficult to pose any special threat to the goal guarded by Szczesny.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Cologne pulled a goal back, and this goal did have a little to do with Porti, but it was neither an assist nor an active goal, but an own goal.
This own goal is very handsome, Matip backfield big foot pass to find the front of Podolski, the latter accelerated to start to keep up, but Jenkinson took a step faster, grabbed in front of him and kicked the ball out of the big foot, however, this is called the clearance ball is neither towards the front court, nor towards the audience, but towards his own door to clear the ball, the ball crossed a beautiful arc, a hanging shot flew towards the goal, Szczesny was shocked, he didn't expect Jenkinson to choose the hanging door, did he forget that he was his teammate?
Running back with all his might, Szczesny flew to save, but the angle of the ball was really tricky, Szczesny was not prepared enough, and the ball went into the net.
The fans in the stands were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, this own goal is so handsome!
Leng Fei, who was sitting on the bench, looked at Jenkinson with a look of chagrin, shook his head, and in the locker room, Leng Fei specially reminded Jenkinson to control the strength when clearing the siege, and not to blindly solve the siege, this kid agreed with his mouth, but he didn't expect this scene to happen......
Jenkinson was then replaced, and it was Sagna who was replaced by the Frenchman who comforted Jenkinson in a low voice, knowing that this own goal was likely to be a big blow to the lad, and as his own replacement, he also needed to coach the junior.
Jenkinson walked off the field silently, and Nasri, Frimpong and other players stepped forward to comfort Jenkinson, who thanked his teammates for their kindness and walked into the locker room alone.
