Chapter 20: The Scream
Coming out of the news hall, Yu Liang was still a little dizzy.
Although he is on loan from Manchester United and Antwerp is only a Belgian second division team, can he really deserve the number 10 shirt?
Obviously, at the current level, it is not enough to be worthy of a team's number 10!
"Whew! I can only continue to train harder! β
Rubbing his smiling stiff face, Yu Liang followed head coach Van Ake to the training ground.
"Hey guys, come over and meet your new teammates!"
Walking to the sidelines, Van Ack directly stopped the training, and then pulled Yu Liang in front of him.
"This is Yu Liang, a Chinese teenager from Manchester United!"
There were not many people in the training ground, and Yu Liang took a look, and there were only about nineteen players.
"Dong! Come here, take your compatriots, and get to know your teammates! β
In most cases, this was done by the captain, but this time Van Ake handed it over to King Dong. This does not mean that King Dong will get the power of captain in the new season, mainly due to the language barrier.
"This is the captain of the team, Ivan Willocks!"
With a shy smile on his face, King Dong led Yu Liang to a player and introduced him to Yu Liang.
"Hello, welcome to our team!"
"Hello, captain, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Yu Liang! You can call me Ryoko. β
Feeling the affinity of the captain, Yu Liang's face showed a warm smile.
"Uh, or you can call me Madman!"
βMadmanοΌβ
Ivan Willocks muttered, then laughed.
"Very nice nickname, I love it!"
However, Ivan Willocks did not let King Dong take Yu Liang alone to meet his new teammates.
After getting to know Yu Liang, Ivan Willocks also followed behind them, after all, King Dong's prestige was not enough for all the players in the team to express friendly goodwill towards Yu Liang.
Even Ivan Willockx himself could not eliminate the hostility of some players towards Yu Liang.
"Hello, I'm Yu Liang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Mihem!"
A blonde young man who was about a little more than one meter eight tall, after saying his name, didn't even stretch out his hand, and snorted directly.
Michem's action made Yu Liang a little embarrassed, and his outstretched hand was hanging in the air.
Ivan Willocks frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Alan! β
It is true that Ivan Willocks has an incomparable influence in the team, but Mihem did not buy it, and after snorting, he went straight back to the training ground with his arms crossed.
"Hehe, hello, I'm Ahmed Biga, from Morocco! You are welcome to join us! β
A relatively handsome player directly stretched out his hand, held Yu Liang's hand in the air, and enthusiastically introduced himself.
"Thank you! My name is Yu Liang, you can call me Madman! β
The brief embarrassment did not spoil Yu Liang's good mood, and under the leadership of captain Ivan Willockx and King Dong, Yu Liang got to know all the teammates of the team in a short time.
In addition to the hostility shown by the guy named Michhem, there was also a guy named Gumalc who was cold to him. However, the other players have shown great enthusiasm for his participation.
Lart, in particular, showed great enthusiasm for Yu Liang.
The 16-year-old was recently promoted to the first team by manager Louis van Ake. Promoted to the first team, Lart was greatly encouraged, especially when he saw Yu Liang, he was even more excited.
"I know you! Tilburg, when you played against Germany, you blocked the German goal on the goal line in that game! Isn't it? β
Looking at this Ralte, who was shorter and thinner than himself, Yu Liang's face showed a proud expression.
"That's right!"
"Ah, haha, it's really you! God forbid! I've finally met you, can you sign my name? β
Larter exclaimed excitedly, and then, as if juggling, took out a notebook and a pen from behind him.
"Thankfully, I was prepared! When I hear you're coming, I'm ready! β
Yu Liang shook his head with a smile, and then wrote his name on the notebook. He didn't expect to come to Antwerp and meet a fan of his own. Speaking of fans, it reminds him of the little boy in Tilburg, and I wonder if he is playing football at the moment.
"Looks like we'll have to take a look at it sometime!"
Tilburg and Antwerp are not far away, just over 80 kilometers apart, and it takes more than an hour to drive there. After returning the notebook and pen to Ralter, Yu Liang decided that he must take the time to visit Tilburg.
Lart is his own fan, which is an unexpected surprise for Yu Liang.
However, after the surprise, Yu Liang did not choose to go back to rest, but chose to stay and train.
Hesitating to arrive in Antwerp today, head coach Van Ake did not ask Yu Liang to train with the team. For this reason, after Yu Liang changed his training clothes, he ran laps on the side and did recovery training.
With the end of the team's training, Yu Liang also ended his training.
Although the amount of recovery training was not very large, after the training, Yu Liang's body was still wet with sweat.
After returning to the locker room to take a shower, Yu Liang and King Dong prepared to go home.
But before that, Yu Liang took Zhu Xun to find head coach Van Ake.
"What's the matter? Approve. β
Van Ack really couldn't imagine that after the training, Yu Liang would find him something.
"Sir, I would like to hire a teacher who can teach me English and Dutch! Can you help? β
The language barrier makes Yu Liang urgently need a good teacher.
"Huh? Don't you have a good teacher by your side? β
Fan Ake looked at Zhu Xun who was standing beside Yu Liang and asked with some puzzlement.
"Uh...... He doesn't know English! β
After a simple stunned, Yu Liang remembered that Zhu Xun had said that he didn't know English.
"Alright! I think I should be able to help! β
Van Ake laughed, then agreed.
"Thank you, sir!"
After thanking Van Ake, Yu Liang and Zhu Xun left the office.
"Let's go! Ryoko, how about taking you to experience the Belgian nightlife at night? β
"Come on! You can only experience the nightlife by ordering a beer and sitting there! Forget it, forget it, I guess we'd better have something to eat first! I'm a little hungry! β
After getting along for such a long time, Yu Liang also has some understanding of King Dong, who seems to be a very lively person, but in fact, he is very dull inside. Even if you go out with him, you won't come up with any new tricks.
"It's okay if you don't say it, I'll be hungry as soon as you say it!"
King Dong touched his belly, smashed it and said in his mouth.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a good place!"
Following King Dong, Yu Liang soon saw a hotel with Chinese characteristics.
"Hometown food?"
"Hehe, Teochew cuisine! The boss is from Shantou! β
If Yu Liang doesn't understand the eight major cuisines, he won't know about Chaozhou cuisine. However, thinking that the boss is from Shantou, he must be seafood-oriented.
After entering the hotel, King Dong quickly ordered a few dishes, and then came to a box on the second floor.
"There's no way to be outside, so come over and eat when you have time! Hehe, the boss also gave a discount! β
After King Dong sat down, he said with a smile.
"Oh!"
Not long after they sat down, a plate of food was served.
"So fast?"
Although Yu Liang doesn't eat in many restaurants, there is really no one with such a good serving speed, and he can't help but give a thumbs up.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is a tide-style cold, with frozen crabs, raw pickled shrimp crickets, and braised goose, come and try it!"
βNOοΌβ
Seeing that King Dong was serving himself vegetables there, Yu Liang directly covered the plate.
"I don't eat these things!"
Listening to the frozen crabs and raw pickled shrimp crickets, Yu Liang was a little disgusted. It's not that he doesn't like seafood, on the contrary, he likes seafood very much, but he can't eat raw food, even if it's pickled raw.
"I'll just eat some braised goose!"
Sandwiched a large piece of braised goose for himself, and Yu Liang gnawed it.
There are not many dishes, but the taste is really good, and after a while, Yu Liang touched his stomach with satisfaction.
However, when checking out, Yu Liang couldn't help but feel a pain for King Dong, just a few dishes cost more than 100 euros, which is too expensive. If you buy your own food and cook for 100 euros, it is estimated that you will have to eat for several days.
"It seems that I will still have time in the future, buy vegetables and cook by myself!"
In fact, what Yu Liang didn't know was that Chaozhou cuisine is known for its nobility among the eight major cuisines, and it can be called the most high-end cuisine in China.
On the way back, Yu Liang found that this restaurant was too close to the club, but it was just across the road, so it was no wonder that King Dong often came here to eat.
After bidding farewell to King Dong and returning home, after taking a bath, Yu Liang lay directly on the bed. Looking at this unfamiliar room, Yu Liang began to think back to what had happened in the past two months, this was also the first time he had time to think about the past recently, and he actually had a dreamlike feeling.
From the Whirlwind Club to the National Youth League, his biggest purpose is to be able to return to the club to ask for a salary increase through his good performance in the National Youth League.
He did it, only to be interrupted by a transfer!
From the Whirlwind Club to Manchester United, his biggest goal is to be able to sign Manchester United.
He did, and he managed to sign Manchester United.
He has spent time on loan at Antwerp, but he believes he will return to Manchester United next summer!
And now all he has to do is take Antwerp and return to the first division!
Thinking about the upcoming Belgian Second Division, Yu Liang had a feeling of excitement.
However, after being excited, listening to the sound of insects and frogs chirping outside the window, and looking at the empty room, Yu Liang felt the loneliness of being in a different place for the first time. Thinking of his parents who were still tired in his hometown, Yu Liang was shrouded in strong thoughts and emotions.
Blinking his eyes, Yu Liang walked to the balcony in his slippers, looking at the Bosur Stadium at night, Yu Liang shouted loudly: "I want to return to Manchester United, I want to become the core of Manchester United, I want to take my parents over and enjoy happiness!" β
In the middle of the night, a Chinese boy at home in Antwerp made another cry in his life, and he will fight for it!
