Chapter 59: A Friend's Wine
Today's meal must be Li Shuai's east, but when it comes to food, even though he has been in Manchester for nearly half a year.
However, there are only a few places he goes, training at the Carrington base during the day, and then singing in Manchester at night, basically these are all Li Shuai's life,
In the end, in desperation, Li Shuai had to choose, the Chinese restaurant he had been to once.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, the owner of this shop actually remembered Li Shuai, stabbed Li Shuai, and asked in Chinese with a smile: "Why didn't you see that white beauty last time?" ”
Li Shuairen was originally spiritual, and he brought a beautiful exotic girl at the beginning, such a pair of golden boys and girls, the boss has a deep memory, and naturally he will not forget it.
Li Shuai was somewhat embarrassed by this question, but he still replied in Chinese: "We have broken up!" ”
After hearing Li Shuai's answer, the boss felt that he had asked the wrong thing, and was a little embarrassed, and said in his mouth: "It's okay to divide it, what's so good about foreign women, or we Chinese women are real." ”
"Such a handsome guy, I'm afraid I won't find a girlfriend?"
"If you have a chance, I will introduce my daughter to you, and you will know each other!"
"Now you wait first, I'll get you a few good dishes, and I'll take out the authentic Moutai brought from China in a while, let's have a few drinks, and then talk about ...... in detail."
After speaking, the boss patted Li Shuai on the shoulder, and without waiting for Li Shuai to answer, he went to the kitchen to cook for Li Shuai and the three of them.
…………
After the greetings with the boss, Li Shuai sat down, and the three guys quickly chatted about the team's recruitment in the winter window.
Pogba is a guy in the first team, and the news is much better than Li Shuai and Lingard, according to this guy, Morrison has reached a transfer intention with West Ham United.
Not surprisingly, at the beginning of the second half of the season, that guy will go from teammates to rivals.
Pogba also has some feelings about the profession of players, today's teammates may be tomorrow's opponents, and today's opponents may become tomorrow's teammates.
Lingard also lamented the impermanence of the world, Morrison and he entered the Manchester United academy together since childhood, it is undeniable that Morrison has been better than him since he was a child, and is even hailed as Manchester United's future "rising star".
Funnily enough, just a few months ago, Morrison mocked him for not being eligible to play for Manchester United.
Now, however, he has left Manchester United first.
After chatting about the departure of the team personnel, the three guys talked about Shinji Kagawa, who transferred from Dortmund.
Just this morning, Shinji Kagawa has taken the lead in coming to Manchester United, and after passing the medical examination, he has completed his transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United.
Speaking of which, Pogba broke another revelation, according to his description, Ferguson in order to prevent, Shinji Kagawa is not suitable for the fast-paced physical confrontation of the Premier League.
He has already begun to invite retired Manchester United player Paul Scholes to return to the firing line and help Manchester United tide over the difficulties.
With Paul Scholes' loyalty to Manchester United, coupled with Alex Ferguson's personal involvement, it is almost a certainty.
Li Shuai naturally understands the concerns of the "leader", which is to prepare for both hands and avoid having no midfielder to rely on when the championship is critical in the second half.
However, Li Shuai found that when Pogba said this, his expression was a little depressed.
Because Pogba himself plays in the midfield, he thought that the team was short of midfielders, and there was a chance to be promoted and get more opportunities.
Ferguson signed Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa, which made Pogba quite disappointed.
If that's all there is, despite the fact that the opponent is a Bundesliga champion and has performed well so far this season, Pogba is not afraid and wants to fight.
However, after getting the news that Ferguson wants Paul Scholes back, Pogba is already desperate, which means that he is not even a second choice, and it is already predictable that he will get a chance in the second half of the season.
Li Shuai naturally felt Pogba's mood, but even though he was a friend, he didn't have much to say, so he had to divert the topic and said: "I went to Germany, I don't understand the language, I really don't know what to do." ”
Hearing Li Shuai's words, Pogba, an optimistic guy, really recovered, and said as if he knew it very well: "If the club values you, it will find you a German teacher, if you don't pay attention to you, then you can only rely on yourself." ”
"Self-study, or pay for a teacher yourself, you can do it!"
"With Brother Li's talent, it is difficult for Dortmund not to pay attention to it, and I believe that Brother Li will definitely get the best treatment." Lingard looked at Li Shuai with admiration on his face and interjected.
Since Li Shuai helped him deal with Morrison, and later saw Li Shuai's football talent, although he is actually older than Li Shuai, he seems to be about to become Li Shuai's "little fan brother".
The three of them chatted for a while, and the dishes were ready, and the owner of the restaurant really smiled and took out the Moutai he had said before.
For wine, Li Shuai refused.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the restaurant who also has Yan Huang blood is really difficult to be gracious, and he is about to part with his friends.
Mingcai swore that Li Shuai, who no longer drank alcohol, broke his vows again.
Li Shuai comforted himself in his heart, now is the last resort.
"Come, getting together is fate, let's have a drink first!" Look at this, Lao Zhang shouted again.
Lao Zhang's full name is Zhang Shanxiong, a standard Northeast man, who went abroad to work hard when he was young, and finally because he was honest and diligent, he was taken by the female boss of this shop, and finally the two got married and gave birth to a daughter.
A family of three, although they are in a foreign country, they are happy to be in harmony.
However, his wife died in a car accident ten years ago, and now he runs the restaurant on his own, and he also has to pay for his daughter's university, which coincidentally is going to school in Germany, where Li Shuai is about to go.
After a few glasses of wine, the distance between people soon shortened a lot.
Tea Kung Fu, the four people present have already become acquainted, Pogba and Lingard are uncles, shouting that it is called an intimacy.
Li Shuai also wanted to call him Uncle Zhang, but he didn't agree, so he had to let Li Shuai call him Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang usually only likes to cook, and has no special hobbies, even in a place like Manchester, which has a strong football culture, he has not been able to like football.
But after hearing that Li Shuai and the three of them are all players, and they are also players of Manchester United, they said that when they have the opportunity to play, they must go to the scene to cheer for them.
Pogba and Lingard rarely drink such liquor, but they can't stand the enthusiasm of Lao Zhang, a man from the Northeast.
The atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and soon the four of them had two bottles of Moutai.
"Here, cheers! I wish Brother Li a great performance in Dortmund......"
"Here, cheers! I wish us all a bright future......"
"Today's parting is just for the reunion in the future!"
"Cheers!"
…………
Cup after cup, and it wasn't long before there were two more empty bottles on the floor, and Pogba and Lingard were already lying on the table.
One guy still muttered: "I obviously have the strength to start, why don't you give me a chance......"
Another guy said: "I went into the Academy at Manchester United when I was seven years old, you played for the first team and I'm still in the reserves...... I don't know if it will be sold by the club......"
The two guys say a word, I say a word, and they can still catch the conversation.
I don't know if these two guys are really drunk or fake drunk, anyway, Li Shuai only feels that there are fewer and fewer people drinking.
But this guy has obviously drunk it, and the old problem is gone, where does it matter so much, it's good to have someone to drink with him.
Lao Zhang, a man from the Northeast, has not drunk so much in a foreign country for a long time.
In the end, although only the two of them were left, they had no intention of stopping, and the more they drank, the more they enjoyed, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.
Lao Zhang even spoke to the little brother, and reminded him of the old things in Chinese: "Xiao Li, that foreign woman doesn't look down on you, it's because he has no vision, Lao Zhang, I think you're good." ”
"Why don't you look like this, how about I introduce my daughter to you?"
"You're going to Germany soon, so you can get in touch over there."
"Give me your phone, and I'll give you her phone number on it!"
"You kid still don't want to?"
"Let me tell you, although my daughter is a little older than you, he is a big beauty, and he is very cute......"
