Yang Pan remembered Yi Lan's usual teasing of him, and planned to take revenge by peeking into her room. But when he pushed the door open, he was stunned at the door, and did not take another step inside.

He arrived in Bologna for the first time and posed for a photo with the manager and president of the team holding the number 7 shirt and smiling.

The moment he pulled out his foot and shot from distance.

He roared in celebration after scoring a goal.

He applauded the fans.

He wore Italy's Andrea Pirlo's No.10 shirt over his shoulders, but his face was listless.

……

The walls are almost plastered with posters of him alone, and photographs cut out of newspapers and magazines!

The two of you ignore each other on the surface, but you actually care about each other on the inside.

Kaka's words popped out of his head at this time. Is that really the case? At the time he would have been skeptical, but now it seems ...... Why did Elan have a picture of him in her room? And it's plastered all over the wall like a starchaser.

Yang Pan suddenly heard footsteps coming downstairs towards the stairs, he hurriedly pulled the door gently, and then turned around and went downstairs.

"It's hot! It's hot! Yilan jumped up and down to meet Yang Pan at the top of the stairs, and she stopped: "You came down from above?" ”

"Huh? Oh, yes, I'm looking for the bathroom. Yang Pan casually found an excuse to prevaricate, and then continued to look for his bathroom. Hey? Strange, where is the bathroom? ”

Yilan looked at Yang Pan with some confusion as he walked, then turned his head to look upstairs, and then stopped him: "Hey, the bathroom is on the left side of the first floor." ”

"Ah, thanks!" Yang Pan waved his hand but turned to the right.

Elan didn't care about this nervous person anymore and jumped upstairs to change clothes. The air conditioner was turned on in the store, and she was still wearing a thick Santa Claus outfit with thick eyebrows and a big beard, so she naturally felt hot.

※※※

Yang Pan walked into the hotel only to find that there were really more people as the bearded man said, Santa Claus store manager was standing at the door to hand out small gifts to the guests who came in, and some children pulled him to take a group photo, because he did look like Santa Claus.

"You seem busy, so I won't bother you." Yang Pan said hello to the bearded man and prepared to leave. But he was coldly called by his name, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a young Italian man shouting to him ecstatically: "What a Yang! Merry Christmas! Please sign for me! ”

Yang Pan knew that he couldn't run today, so he had to sign the other party obediently. "Merry Christmas!"

Therefore, the guests who came to the "chinachina" Chinese restaurant for Christmas dinner can get Yang Pan's autograph and take a photo with him as long as they are willing.

When Yilan changed her clothes and came down, she happened to see her father and Yang Pan standing side by side, one distributing gifts to people, and the other busy signing autographs.

She smiled and stepped forward to the two of them and said, "It looks like you're busy, so I won't bother you, hehe!" Then she went about her by jumping around.

※※※

"Holy! I didn't expect Yang Pan, a super woman man, to have such a singing and crying romance! Anke exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"You'd better not let him hear this, or you'll die a miserable death." Kaka kindly persuaded Anke because he remembered how Yang Pan coped with the interview about Anke.

Zhang Jun touched his chin and looked thoughtful: "I think we should help him." ”

"Help? How can it help? Li Yongle didn't understand.

"Kaka is right, Yang Pan is a big man, and if you let him face this kind of childlike thing all at once, he won't know what to do. So let's take advantage of this great opportunity tonight...... Hey! ”

"You mean, get them drunk and then get drunk?" Anke continued.

"It's all about the dirty things you think about all day long!" Kaka taught him a stern lesson, but he quickly changed his expression: "But it's really a good idea, worthy of Zhang Jun!" ”

Zhang Jun was made to laugh and cry by these two people, Kaka's image is very different from what the fans outside see! "You are simply mean, shameless, and indecent! I mean to make Yang Pan pluck up the courage to confess to that girl, and if he can't open his mouth, force him to speak. Because I'm sure he doesn't hate this girl in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to spend Christmas Eve here. ”

"It's something that no man can hate! Lively and cute, and most importantly, she is a big beauty! Anke almost howled like a wolf.

"So how do you help?" Li Yongle naturally has no opinion, basically he will not object to this kind of thing with a good show.

Zhang Jun looked at Kaka and said: "This is handed over to our midfield organizer Kaka, you are most familiar with the things between the two of them, and it is only fitting for you to figure out a way." ”

Kaka didn't shirk it, he thought about it carefully, and then called everyone together, and gave this and this and this order, and everyone nodded their heads.

When it was lively outside, it also started inside, at first it was a traditional Christmas dinner in the West, four of the five people here had eaten, only Li Yongle was spending Christmas abroad for the first time, and he felt very fresh about everything.

The bearded man always runs out to greet customers after eating for a while, so he doesn't even change into Santa's outfit. And Yilan was "forcibly" left behind by her father, because as the owner, if they all ran out, what would it look like?

Everyone is young, and they get acquainted quickly. Only then did Elan know that Yang Pan's friends were not simple, one was a famous scorer in the Netherlands, and the other was the main goalkeeper of the Bundesliga giants Dortmund, even Li Yongle was not bad, and he had already played an official match in the Inter Milan youth team.

Kaka Yilan is known, and he is the most handsome among everyone.

Yang Pan doesn't need to be introduced, because everyone else was introduced to Yilan by Yang Pan, and Yilan was also introduced to others by him. When introducing Ilan's identity, he hesitated slightly, and then said, "Uh, the bearded manager's daughter......"

This caused discontent among some people, who expressed it with whistles. However, Yang Pan ignored them all.

After eating for a while, Kaka glanced at Anke, and Anke understood: "Yilan, do you have any wine here?" ”

"Of course."

"Then open a few bottles of red bars, and don't drink during the holidays, it's too festive to have a festive atmosphere!"

Zhang Jun is a little worried: "Professional players shouldn't drink ......"

"That's what it's written in textbooks, don't listen to those dogmas! Do you dare to say that you don't drink alcohol but drink juice at Christmas dinners in your club? Anke didn't care.

Kaka also said: "Anyway, it's just once a year, it doesn't matter." And drinking some red wine in moderation is also good for the body. ”

Li Yongle didn't have any opinions, and Zhang Jun also agreed. So everyone turned their attention to Yang Pan. Now that everyone agreed, Yang Pan couldn't spoil everyone's interest.

So open the wine, pour it, and do it!

"Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Chinese New Year! "A piece of congratulations is over, save trouble.

Yilan understood the first two, but she didn't know what was going on with the Spring Festival. But Kaka and the others pretended not to see it and ignored her. Yang Pan saw that they were all just having fun, and he was the only one who could answer Yilan's question.

He put down his glass and explained to Yilan: "Spring Festival is actually equivalent to your Christmas, the most important festival of the year for Chinese, symbolizing the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year. The day before the Spring Festival, we usually call it Chinese New Year's Eve, and the family rushes home no matter how far away it is, and gathers for a meal, which we call 'reunion dinner'. ”

"Seems interesting!" Yilan was very interested in this unfamiliar festival, she pulled Yang Pan to tell her more, but forgot that she had turned her face without saying three words to Yang Pan. Is it the effect of alcohol? It's just a glass of wine, right?

"Well, during the Spring Festival, every household has to hang Spring Festival couplets, paste blessings, and set off firecrackers." Yang Pan took a lot of effort to translate some special words, and finally had to use Hanyu Pinyin directly.

"What do you mean by 'chunlian'? What is 'daofu'? What is 'bianpao'? Ilan really didn't understand.

Yang Pan had to patiently explain to her, and he didn't show impatience, which was really a miracle.

※※※

Anke looked at the two people from a distance, and whispered to Kaka beside him: "It seems to be different from our plan, what should I do?" Would you like to remind them? ”

"No, you don't." Kaka waved his hand, "That's fine, let them slowly cultivate their feelings, and we'll strike while the iron is hot." Don't bother them now. ”

※※※

"At that time, Zhang Jun and I were still studying in other places, and we had to take the train back to Luoyang every Spring Festival. But there is almost no place to stay on the train, the toilet, the luggage rack, the carriage link, are full of people, and one toilet can squeeze ten people! Horror, right? Yang Pan was thirsty, and poured another glass of wine, and at the same time poured it for Yilan's cup, he had never said so much to Yilan. He took a sip and looked triumphantly at Ilan's surprised expression before continuing, "We call it 'Spring Festival'. At this time of year, people who work outside the country and go to school are like obsessed with it, no matter how tired and hard they are, they have to endure this kind of travel fatigue in order to return home and be reunited. Chinese people care about the concept of 'home', no matter where they go, no matter how wonderful the outside world is, they feel that it is not as good as home. Sleeping in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel may not be as comfortable as sleeping on your own hardboard bed. No matter what the difficulties are, as long as you get back home, it's not a big deal! ”

The more Yang Pan said that the more interested he became, Elan felt very novel about the traditional Chinese way of life, and he was fascinated by it. The two even thought Anke was too noisy, so they sat on the sofa in the corner with a bottle of wine and continued.

※※※

Anke looked at the two men stupidly, as if she had seen aliens. "Hey, Kaka, do they really quarrel when they meet?"

"This ...... As far as I know, that's true. ”

"But why are they ...... now," he gestured to them, looking back at Kaka, who also looked incredulous.

“…… Maybe it's the effect of alcohol. Didn't you see that the two of them had already drunk half a bottle? Kaka finally found a plausible-sounding reason for the two of them's actions.

Zhang Jun waved his hand: "What do they care about!" Wouldn't it look like this now? The two of them are getting better! Come, we eat ours! ”

※※※

"Is the Spring Festival all in the spring?"

"No, it's winter. The Spring Festival is not calculated according to the world's general Gregorian calendar, its specific date is different every year, about the end of January and the beginning of February, this year's Spring Festival is on February 9 next year. ”

After Elan understood one problem, another problem arose. "At that time? But at that time, it happened to be the time of the national leagues, how can you go back to reunite? ”

Yang Pan drank another glass, poured it for himself, and filled it for Yilan. "Of course, it would be nice if we could be reunited, but not everyone has to go home for reunion. Otherwise, China wouldn't have messed up during that time? It's even harder for those of us who play football abroad to go back, so the five of us got together and celebrated Christmas as the Chinese New Year, anyway! ”

Iran was stimulated by alcohol, but she felt that these giggling boys were pitiful. Although her own mother died prematurely, she still has her father by her side on holidays like Christmas. And they spent the Spring Festival in competitions and training.

Yang Pan saw what Yilan was thinking, and this girl couldn't hide anything on her face after drinking a little wine. He laughed and said, "Fool! When we all have money, we can bring our families here for the Spring Festival, and the reunion does not say that it has to be in China to be reunited! ”

"But...... Didn't you say that the Chinese concept of 'home' is very important? No matter where it is, it's better than at home? So the Chinese New Year in Italy is definitely different from the Chinese New Year in China, right? ”

"Home, ......", Yang Pan was silent for a while, he didn't know how to answer this question, there are many Chinese people in the world, they are not in China, but they still maintain some common characteristics of Chinese, so what does the word "home" mean to them? It certainly won't just be a nicely decorated, spacious and bright house, and it won't be a green card. "Perhaps, home is in their hearts. As long as the family is together and happy, it is home wherever it is......"

※※※

The bearded man came in again to see if everyone was happy and if Elan was taking good care of him. But he came in and found his daughter.

Kaka naturally knew who the store manager was looking for, and he pointed to the corner of the room. His daughter was changing cups with Yang Pan, and they were talking happily.

"This ......" When the bearded man saw this situation, he also had the same expression as Anke at the beginning. Is that still his daughter? was so close to Yang Pan, not only did he not feel unnatural at all, but he also smiled happily. "Hey, what are they talking about?" He asked Kaka.

"Who knows! Starting with the Spring Festival, it is estimated that it is time to talk about Children's Day on June 1st. Kaka half-jokingly.

※※※

"Wow! There are so many stories between you and Zhang Jun! Elan looked excited.

"Yes, yes! We've been together since elementary school! Yang Pan poured the wine again, but found that the bottle was empty, so he had to throw the bottle aside.

Elan evened half of the wine in her glass to him and continued, "Can you tell me what kind of girl Sophie is?" ”

"She's beautiful, kind, gentle, empathetic, smart...... In short, all the beautiful adjectives you can imagine can be used on her, not too much. ”

"So perfect?!" Elan was a little jealous. Then why did she fall in love with Jang Jun? Didn't you say that Zhang Jun has a lot of shortcomings? ”

Yang Pan smiled and shook his head: "Who knows!" Sophie fell in love with Zhang Jun who was full of shortcomings, and sometimes even Zhang Jun himself couldn't figure it out, how could such an excellent girl like Sophie like him? Love, it's unclear! Hehe! He took a sip of his wine and said with great vicissitudes.

"Hmph, you say that, as if you've been through a lot!" Elan laughed at him.

"No, I haven't been in a relationship yet! It's just that there are all kinds of people around me, so I have seen too much, and I have some ideas. Yang Pan hurriedly explained, but he didn't know who he was in a hurry to explain?

"Well, I'd love to meet that Sophie and see if she's as perfect as you say." Elan didn't listen to him at all.

※※※

It's about the same time, and everyone thinks it's time to make dumplings. Anke woke up two people who were drinking and talking in his characteristic loud voice: "Hey! Come and make dumplings! ”

"Oh, making dumplings." Yang Pan talks a lot, and the effect of alcohol is obvious.

Yang Pan stumbled as soon as he got up, but fortunately, Yilan's hand quickly supported him. But at that moment, the two people really made physical contact, and Yang Pan's arm could clearly feel that he was touching a soft mass.

was a little embarrassed, but Yilan spoke first: "You go wash your face first, you can't make dumplings this way, right?" ”

Yang Pan took the opportunity to leave the living room and walked to the bathroom.

A handful of cold water was poured on his face, and Yang Pan in the mirror suddenly perked up. Thinking about the moment just now, he didn't mean it, but it can't be completely said to be unintentional, otherwise he would have fallen in the opposite direction. But I really didn't expect to touch Yilan's chest, but fortunately Yilan found a step, otherwise neither of them would have been able to get down.

But then again, why did Elan find him a step? I'm afraid she slapped her in the face, right?

Yang Pan suddenly thought of the posters and photos that filled the wall. Maybe Elan wasn't as bad as he thought.

In China, many people will affectionately refer to a couple of men and women who often quarrel, but the more they quarrel, the better the relationship, as "enemies". I wonder if he and Yilan are a pair of "enemies"?

Yang Pan wiped his hands dry, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Yilan raise his hand to knock on the door.

Elan seemed to be frightened: "Ah! You...... When I saw that you went in and didn't come out for a long time, I thought you were ...... Actually...... me"

Yang Pan didn't answer, just stared at Yilan. Her face was very red and red, was it alcohol or shyness? The feeling of seeing Elan for the first time came back to him. He found that this girl who was two years younger than him was so beautiful, and even her incomprehensible embarrassment attracted him, which was just like the shyness of a lotus flower.

"Elan" could have been translated as "Elena".

The two looked at each other silently, and there was light in their eyes. Yang Pan really wanted to lower his head and kiss Fang Ze, he really had such an impulse, the effect of alcohol, the effect of alcohol!

But Anke shouted, causing the two of them to suddenly wake up from a certain ambiguous state.

"Yang Pan! Did you kid fall into the pit? Come and make dumplings! ”

The two of them turned their faces to one side at the same time to avoid looking at each other again and becoming embarrassed again. This time, Yang Pan reacted quickly: "I, I'm going to make dumplings." After saying that, he lowered his head and walked briskly towards the living room.

Yilan also whispered, "Ah, me, I'll go wash my hands." Then he hid in the bathroom.

※※※

Yang Pan pounced on An Ke murderously, and then pinched his neck and shook him vigorously: "What are you shouting nonsense?!" ”

Poor Anke didn't know what he had done wrong to make Yang Pan so hot. As a result, both hands spread their teeth and claws, and sprinkled white flour everywhere.

Kaka and Zhang Jun said cool words on the side: "Wow! It's snowing! It's so beautiful! ”

Li Yongle took on the task of taking pictures, he held the camera on one side, Zhang Jun and Kaka posed in various poses, and the background was naturally "Heavy snowfall, Yang Pan ravaged An Ketu".

※※※

Elan poured a handful of cold water on her face, trying to calm herself down.

What's going on? How can a heartbeat be so fast? Why is the face so red? Why are the eyes so blurred? Why is there a smile on the corner of the mouth?

This is not like the Yilan of Pingyue, at least not like the Yilan after seeing Yang Pan in Pingyue. I won't give him a good look, but today, why is there so much difference?

Because I drank alcohol?

Yilan shook her head, she didn't feel dizzy, and she could tell the difference between east and west, north and south.

I obviously don't hate him in my heart, but I can't help but go against him when I meet, maybe it's because I don't want to lose to him, I don't want to show weakness in front of him, I don't want him to feel like an ordinary girl, I don't want him to be impressed by himself......

When I was very young, I was still in France, and my mother was still there. In elementary school, there was always a little boy who bullied himself and even made himself cry. But I didn't offend him. Yilan complained to her mother aggrievedly, but she didn't expect her mother to smile and touch her head: "Yilan, that just means that he likes you!" Children don't know how to express their preferences, so they can only use all kinds of pranks to attract your attention, don't cry, you should be happy. If you don't hate him either, you should bully him back. Well? Hehe! Mom winked at her.

Elan was too young to fully understand what her mother meant, but when her mother died in an accident, she moved to Italy with her father. And the boy who always bullied her in the first place is no longer in touch.

The current situation...... Elan seemed to see her mother again in the mirror. "Mom, now he always bullies me, is it because he likes me? Then I always bully him, don't I like him too? Mom, tell me......"

The mother in the mirror was in tears, and Elan was also in tears.

Elan quickly realized that today was a holiday and she shouldn't be so sad, so she wiped her tears and stuck out her tongue in the mirror: "Merry Christmas, Mom!" We've been very busy here this year, and we just came to chat with him, but we forgot about you, hehe! You don't blame your daughter, do you? Mom, I love you! ”

When Yilan returned to the living room, Yang Pan was making dumplings with others. She also rolled up her sleeves to wrap them, and of course she always made a mess of the dumplings in a laugh. Yang Pan had to leave his job and concentrate on teaching her.

※※※

Anke whispered to the other three, "It seems to be working well!" ”

Kaka was very proud: "I said it a long time ago, wine can mess around...... Oh no, it's wine that makes people face their true selves, so it's true to say that you spit out the truth after drinking! ”

※※※

After eating the steaming dumplings, the guests outside are almost gone. The bearded store manager is still wearing a Santa Claus outfit, and he seems to like this kind of dress. He held a large pile of fireworks and placed them in the small square in front of the store.

"Fireworks!"

Watching bunches of all kinds of fireworks rise from the ground and explode in the air, everyone feels that such a festival is complete.

Colorful fireworks constantly rise over the city, lighting up the night sky.

Li Yongle kept shooting with his camera, and he had already changed the film three times. He's going to send these pictures home so they can see them too, he's doing well abroad, don't worry.

Elan holds a lit firework stick and dances in front of everyone, like a flower elf.

Yang Pan was a little fascinated, and the fireworks stick drew a flashing trajectory in front of his eyes, and the smiling face of Yilan was particularly beautiful.

Will such a girl like herself?

Kaka's tactics were not fully implemented in the end, and Yang Pan did not confess anything to Yilan through the effects of alcohol, and a group of people did not see a good show. But everyone was a little drunk at that time, who cared about that? Wouldn't it be nice if you just had fun?

※※※

Anke's holiday is not until January 20, but he decides to go back to Dortmund and find the old man to continue to improve himself, because after three months of competition, he has found that he still has a lot to offer.

Li Yongle must also return to Milan early, there is still half a season left, and he still has to prove his ability to Mancini. Half a season will pass in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Jun had plenty of time, and he wanted to visit Baggio and personally thank Robbie for his help, but Yang Pan told him that Baggio had gone to Argentina and hunted wild ducks there for Christmas.

Zhang Jun was a little disappointed, but since he came, he wanted to go somewhere. Kaka and Yang Pan became part-time guides and part-time drivers, accompanying him there: Florence, a world famous historical and cultural city.

Florence has a nice Cantonese translation of the name "Fei Leng Cui". And this ancient city, which is full of scenic spots and cultural atmosphere, is really like this name, arrogant, noble and mysterious, which fascinates countless people.

If Italy is seen as a noblewoman, then Florence is the largest and most dazzling jewel on the necklace on the noblewoman's chest.

There's the Mona Lisa, there's David, there's Dante, there's the Florence Cathedral, there's the Uffel Art Gallery...... There's romanticism, there's glory and dreams, there's legend.

But the reason why Zhang Jun came here was not that Zhang Jun knew about the above. The impression that Florence left in his mind was not Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, or the Renaissance, but because of Roberto Baggio, Batistuta, and the "Purple Lily" Fiorentina Football Club.

Although Baggio has now retired in Brescia and Barty is also facing retirement in Qatar, Fiorentina will continue to fight in the second division after losing to Perugia in the promotion play-offs this summer.

But Zhang Jun didn't come to see football, he wanted to see what kind of landscape the city is, what kind of fans have cultivated a football artist, a blonde god of war, and a great team.

But Kaka told him not to think that Fiorentina fans are good, in fact, the most arrogant and demanding fans in Italy are not AC Milan fans, nor Inter Milan fans, not Roma fans, not Juventus fans, but fans here, Fiorentina fans. Because it is a historical and cultural city, there are many ancestors who are famous in the history of world art, so the people who raised it are quite discerning, they think that Florence is the best place, Milan is too extravagant, Rome is too dirty, and Turin is too cold. South? It is synonymous with poverty, backwardness, ignorance.

In addition, the Fiorentina team is one of the seven sisters of Serie A, and has produced many great stars before and after, so they can't look down on teams and fans elsewhere.

However, with the team being relegated in 2001 and then going bankrupt after a year in the second division because it failed to pass the professional qualification registration, the Football Association did not let this team with a long history and tradition play in the amateur league, but relegated to the third division. The fans have calmed down a lot after going through these things, and their eyes have been lowered. After all, they are proud now, and they don't have the capital to make them proud. From League C2 to League B, he jumped two levels in a year, and he was promoted by relying on the Football Association's "Special Contribution Award to Italian Football".

Last season, they were in full swing and planned to take advantage of the expansion of Serie A to rush to the first division. Because everyone can see that the Italian Football Association proposed at this time the unreasonable practice of "expanding Serie A to 20 teams next season" is to help Fiorentina. No wonder Perugia boss Gauci, who played in the play-offs with Fiorentina, said sourly: "The only difference is that we are not Fiorentina. ”

But unfortunately, in the second round of the crucial play-offs, Fiorentina was overjoyed after a small home win in the first round, and they fell off the chain, and Perugia, who was fighting with his back, seized the opportunity to win three consecutive cities, although the number one star Rigano pulled a goal back with a header before the final game, but it was no longer helpful. They lost 2:3 on aggregate and had to go back to the second division.

This incident hit the local fans quite hard, and they even thought that the team was no longer capable of playing in the first division. This is very rare, because Fiorentina fans are basically synonymous with "not admitting defeat and being a hardliner". It seems that the continuous wandering in the low-level league has also worn out the fighting spirit and confidence of the fans.

However, none of the above has anything to do with Zhang Jun, he is here to travel this time.

Florence is one of Italy's most important tourist destinations, with more places of interest than Rome, and its citizens are known for their cherishing of them. In the 60s of the 20th century, Florence was flooded, and the whole city was flooded in the middle of the night, and many houses, public buildings, and museums were immersed in water. Instead of caring for their belongings, citizens spontaneously flocked to the flood-besieged museums to salvage the artifacts. It was these citizens who made Florence so glorious for more than two centuries.

The trio went to several famous attractions in Florence, took a lot of photos, and bought some souvenirs, but they just didn't go to the Frankie Stadium, the home of the Fiorentina team. They knew that there must be reporters following them, and in order to avoid the good news reporter associating their names with Florence, all three deliberately avoided some sensitive places.

In fact, Zhang Jun came to Italy this time because he was afraid that the media would have nothing to do, so he was careful and careful along the way, trying to avoid too much contact with football. I didn't go to San Siro in Milan, I didn't go to Dalara in Bologna, and now I don't go to Frankie in Florence.

He is also a signing of Warendamu and he himself enjoys playing for Warendamm.

At the end of the trip to Florence, Zhang Jun's trip to Italy came to an end. After saying goodbye to Kaka, Yang Pan and Li Yongle at Milan Airport, he embarked on a flight back to the Netherlands. At Warrendam, he will reunite with the team to prepare for a difficult second half of the season and fight for relegation.
