Viewed from above, the Boulevard Francis de la Commenade de Rocha-Pesautu is a clear quarter circle, well organized enough to thrill geometricians. www.biquge.info At the end of the road, there is a main road named after Mr. Vasco Valente, the "Ambassador of Portugal to South Africa". The surrounding area is the most concentrated residential area in Boa Vista.

Everything seems so orderly here. Rows of cottages, cork oak trees everywhere, and a large number of private cars parked along the road, look very pleasant against the backdrop of the night sky.

After seeing the simplicity of the dormitory, the young men only felt dazzled when they came here in a blink of an eye. Govia parked the car and led the guests into their yard. The open-air barbecue stall that has been prepared for a long time, with all kinds of ingredients spread out on a long table, as well as winkling lights and balloons hanging from the trees, immediately attracts everyone's attention.

Xiao Pan looked around and said with emotion: "Philip, you don't need to be so grand, right?" We're not here for a vacation. ”

Govia said with a smile: "I looked at the information in the afternoon and found out that there was a child who had a birthday. I asked Anna to prepare. ”

"Who's birthday? How I haven't heard them say that. ”

"Don't you know?" Govia was surprised, pointed to Chen Jianhao, who was standing at the door, and said, "It's this red-haired boy." ”

When the group sat around the oven and sang the birthday song, Chen Jianhao just smirked shyly. It was the first birthday party he had ever had in his life, and he always felt that this cheerful atmosphere did not match him. Govia's youngest daughter, Ismenia, was busy all the time, and the eight-year-old girl seemed to like him, walking over and passing him the baked food, and then smiling at him.

Govia's wife, Ana, sat side by side with Chen Jinwu from beginning to end and got along very well. Chen Jinwu has been to Portugal a few times before, and he has a good understanding of the local customs, so it is relatively easy to communicate. And he is handsome and handsome, humble and polite in dealing with people, and his language level is also passable, so Anna's family has a good impression of him.

In contrast, Fang Jizhou and Wu Tianchang were more depressed. They also wanted to fit in with the Grape Man's family, but they couldn't understand what the other was saying, so they had to sit down and barbecue. Xiao Pan and Chen Jinwu occasionally translate a few sentences for them, but that's about it. However, the two of them ate happily, and after dozens of hours of travel and travel, they were finally able to eat in peace.

After a full meal, Govia and Xiao Pan went for a walk in the grove to the north of the community. Xiao Pan took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to the other party, and Govia waved his hand and declined.

"Thanks, athletes can't smoke."

Xiao Pan smiled and lit a cigarette for himself, and said, "Aren't you retired?" The head coach who smokes looks a lot more domineering. ”

Govia shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in this thing. ”

"We haven't seen each other in five years, haven't we?"

"Almost. The last time we met, I was in Gil Vicente. ”

"Really? I just remember having to go to a different place every time I met you. ”

"I don't want that either. You know, it's hard for a player like me to stay in a team for long. However, it is much better than the apartment I used to live in. ”

"Your boss is really generous, he just came here to give you such a beautiful house."

"No, it was given to me by an old local fan. He said he always remembered me when I won the title here 10 years ago and wanted me to lead the team back to the Portuguese Super League. ”

The two men walked all the way through the woods before they knew it. There is a public football field across the street without grass, and Govia said: "He also built this field for the local children to use for free." ”

"Looks like a rich man." Xiao Pan sighed: "This is in China, and it is not easy to circle such a large area. ”

"After the team was relegated, this old fan was very disappointed and went to our boss's office to scold him. Anyway, I also think it's shameful to play match-fixing, and the Football Association's punishment is not wrong. But after all, I still have some feelings for the team, and I can't bear to see it become like this in the past two years. ”

"I heard you say today that the coaching staff is gone, what is going on?"

"It's simple, there's no money." Govia let out a long sigh and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm not paid more than 500 euros a week right now. The team is in debt, the first team's wages are almost unpaid, and the squad changes every year...... More than a dozen people have been brought up from the youth team this year, and several have not yet been officially signed. ”

"How so?" Xiao Pan couldn't believe his ears.

Govia smiled bitterly: "So, no one dares to say that I am a realist now." ”

"Oh my God, it looks like we're in the wrong place." Xiao Pan was a little dejected, and muttered in a low voice: "If the team is disbanded one day, I will be scolded to death by Director Fan." ”

"This kind of team with a history of more than 100 years will not be disbanded so easily." Govia seemed to hear him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "And, maybe I'll let your little brother go straight to the first team." ”

Xiao Pan's eyes widened and said, "Really? ”

"Look at his performance. He had to get used to it for a few months, and now even communication was a problem. Govia thought for a moment and said, "But it's hard to say, the team is really short of people. If he's really as strong as you say, I'll probably bring him up at any time. ”

When the group returned to the dormitory, it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.

There is no itinerary for the next three days, except for making an appointment with Govia to visit the team the next afternoon, the rest of the time is free to move. From Saturday, 20 February, they will officially enter the Boavista youth team, where they will train with the team from 13:30 to 17:30 every afternoon, as well as participate in the youth league. Every Monday to Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., they also have to attend classes at a local public school, and for the first three months they are mainly language classes, after which they have to study all the compulsory courses like other students.

Little Pan drank a lot of wine at Govia's house, and now the wine strength also came up, and he fell asleep. The boys were still excited, lying in their beds and chatting. Only Chen Jianhao, who had just lay down for less than five minutes, began to snore loudly.

"Isn't it?" Wu Tianchang's bitter voice came from the darkness: "We have to live with this guy for four years? ”

Chen Jinwu snorted and laughed: "Do you want me to kick him?" ”

Fang Jizhou said helplessly: "The worst thing is me, my head is leaning against him......"
