Jia Xiaoxian fiddled with the bag of snacks, there were only two Belgian muffins left in it, bought in a small town not long ago, freshly made and sold, although fresh and delicious, but after all, it still can't be eaten, she poked her head out of the passenger seat, Lisa was asking a local for directions, their car navigation was broken, really unlucky.
This holiday, Jia Xiaoxian originally planned to spend all her time on part-time work, the situation at home is not very good, her father has been doing decoration in the field for a long time, almost never comes home, due to obsession with gambling, almost no money can be saved, her mother works in the bakery of RT-Mart supermarket, and her income is also very limited, the cost of studying abroad is still made up by relatives and friends, Jia Xiaoxian has excellent grades in China, but everyone in Paris 5 University is an elite, and it is not easy to get a scholarship.
The predecessor of Paris 5 University is the Medical University of Paris, strong strength, reputation, Jia Xiaoxian can be admitted here is not easy, she took the college entrance examination first in the school, studied French in China for four months, and then came to France at the end of last year, and studied for half a year, and then began to study professional courses, Jia Xiaoxian studied psychology, one of the ace majors of Paris 5 University, and can be ranked in the top three in France, which is also the key factor for her mother and relatives to support her study abroad, otherwise stay in China and go to 211, Be much more affordable.
Jia Xiaoxian knows that the opportunity to study abroad is not easy to come by, after coming to France, he still studies hard, and does some part-time jobs in addition to studying, the average of SMIC (minimum wage standard) in France is eight euros per hour, Jia Xiaoxian has basically used up the allowable time of 20 hours of part-time work per week, she works as a waitress and dishwasher in a chain of fast food restaurants, and can get 400 euros a month, which is basically worth the living expenses every month, so she has not looked for a family for three months to ask for living expenses.
This holiday, from the beginning of July to September, two months, international students have the right to work full-time, although a little hard, but this means close to two thousand euros of income, Jia Xiaoxian regretted not being able to stay in Paris to earn living expenses, but the romantic gene in the little girl's bones still prevailed over reason, she promised her roommate Lisa, accompany her to drive in Western Europe for two weeks, Lisa persuaded Jia Xiaoxian in a few words.
Their first stop was Belgium, because Lisa's cousin's family moved to Liège, so they decided to stop by to have a look, Lisa had mentioned his cousin to Jia Xiaoxian more than once, Lisa was crazy about football, and had sneaked out of her home during the World Cup in Germany and stayed in Germany with the fan organization for nearly a month, and his cousin Isel is a football player who used to play in the Marseille echelon, and I heard that he recently came to Standard Liege.
Jia Xiaoxian doesn't know anything about football, and the football players he knows are limited to Beckham and Xiao Xiaoluo, the so-called acquaintance is just knowing the name, change the avatars of Beckham and Xiao Xiaoluo, she will also believe it, Jia Xiaoxian is not interested in sports, and before high school, she devoted herself to study and poor family conditions, making it difficult for her to enjoy life like Lisa.
"Drive along this road, and after twenty kilometers there is a junction that turns right, from where we can get on the free highway, not far from Liège!" Lisa returned to the car, glanced at Jia Xiaoxian and knew what she was thinking, "Don't worry, beauty, I contacted my uncle two days ago, I only stayed at their house for two days, and the day after tomorrow we will go to Brussels, they won't say anything." ”
"Let's buy some gifts and bring them over," Jia Xiaoxian's heart was very careful, "It's embarrassing to bother people empty-handed, and besides, you said that you haven't seen your uncle's family for a year, and if you buy a gift and bring it over, they will definitely be very happy." ”
"Oh, okay, okay, when we get to Liège, we have half an afternoon, and we're going to pick out gifts together."
Lisa said perfunctorily, thought of something again, quickly took out her mobile phone, dialed a number, and after the phone was connected, she didn't hear how to speak, and hung up the phone again.
"Hehe, that's great, we're going to hurry up and get our seatbelts on." Lisa suddenly became very excited and anxious, and the ignition started quickly, and the car bounced out directly, which startled Jia Xiaoxian, "My cousin Isel is about to go outside to play football, let's go to Liège to take a look first, the stadium east of Dufrassen should not be difficult to find!" ”
There were hardly any cars on the road, and the white Skoda suddenly picked up speed and disappeared at the end of the road in a short time.
……
Wang Nuo received the ball from behind from the back, flicked the ball horizontally, and easily avoided the fierce pressing of the opponent's back, the opponent's back was worthy of being a reserve player of Bi Serisin, and was shaken away by Wang Nuo, and immediately twisted his body, stuck to Wang Nuo like a kraft candy, and used his elbow to inadvertently top Wang Nuo's waist.
Wang Nuo's waist hurt, but it did not prevent him from accurately transitioning the ball to the feet of the left winger, and gave him a look, the left winger is a fat man, a student of the University of Liège, and the opponent's lineup is often compared to the B reserve team and the local amateur team players in Liège, he did not dare to hold it up, and he was very obedient to knock the ball back according to Wang Nuo's meaning.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Nuo without the ball has slipped to the right half of the midfield, Zoe received the return pass, and handed the ball back to Wang Nuo without pausing, Wang Nuo received the ball without looking at it, quickly passed the ball to the right side, successfully avoided the opponent's double grab, and smiled and said hello to the opponent's back after the pass, which looked very relaxed.
Last weekend, Wang Nuo and Zoe contacted their U19 teammates who were on vacation, and through them they met a lot of powerful players, so many people from the best local amateur teams in Liège joined the game every afternoon, and even a few young people who played in the reserve team of the second division also joined in, resulting in the quality of the game quickly rising to a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and it can attract many onlookers every afternoon.
Before the game, Wang Nuo deliberately arranged his team to be weaker, so that he could have a better exercise effect, and some people were not happy at first, but after playing two games, everyone had a full understanding of the level of Wang Neucer Zoe.
Isere's ability to compete for high points is almost unmatched, and his body is strong, and no one dares to underestimate him at the back, while Zoe and Wang Nuo, as the team's dual-core midfielders, both have excellent foot skills and excellent vision, play amateur games, and as long as there is no problem with the transmission of the ball, there will not be much gap between the two teams.
So everyone accepted Wang Nuo's arrangement, the college students and the weaker amateur players were divided into three of them, and the remaining amateur players who played in the reserve team and the stronger ones were assigned to the other team, and they played according to such a lineup, and the two sides basically won and lost each other.
The match was played on Court 2 to the east of Dufrassen, which was already crowded with spectators, while there were also amateur matches on the other three surrounding courts, but few people were on track.
Although Liège has a population of only 200,000, people's love for football is unquestionable, even such an amateur game, as long as it is good-looking, it can still attract hundreds of spectators, Jia Xiaoxian and Lisa took a long time to seize a position with a better view.
This kind of game is not intense, the players on the field have no burden, they play very relaxed, and because of this, the game is wide open and close, and it looks very enjoyable.
There were bursts of cheers from time to time, and Lisa was crowded in the crowd, obviously a fan who watched the game all year round, and after a while, she had a heated discussion with the people around her, leaving Jia Xiaoxian aside.
Jia Xiaoxian's French level is not yet able to understand the professional terms of football, she first listened quietly to Lisa talking next to her, regardless of whether she could understand it or not, she kept smiling, and then Lisa chatted with others, Jia Xiaoxian held her chin with her hand, leaned on the railing and was distracted, her eyes looked at the field, but she was thinking about the next trip in her heart.
Just when she was wandering out of the world, suddenly, a violent cheer broke out inside and outside the court, accompanied by cheers, thunderous applause and whistles, people shouted wildly, and Jia Xiaoxian suddenly came back to his senses.
She didn't understand the actions of the people around her, and subconsciously took a closer look at the court.
She saw an Asian face, smiling brightly, running to hug the big white man who had scored the goal, and their teammates rushed over and patted them on the shoulder and head affectionately.
"Isere! That's my cousin Isel! He scored a header, a beautiful blow! Lisa shook Jia Xiaoxian's shoulders excitedly and let out a sharp scream.
Jia Xiaoxian smiled politely, but her eyes always stayed on the Asian man, she was not interested in scoring goals, but wanted to know more about how that person got along with the white teammates around him, he seemed to be different from most of the Chinese students he knew, tall and strong, with confidence and ease in his smile, there was no crampedness and tension in every move on the field, the football always passed to his feet, and then he passed it to others, he was like the leader of the whole team.
Jia Xiaoxian couldn't help but be a little curious, is he also an international student?
