Playing four league games and a Carabao Cup quarter-final in a row, there were joys, hardships, luck and troubles in between, but Wigan Athletic won this game and there is still a week to go until the next league game, so after the game against Aston Villa, Wigan Athletic breathed a sigh of relief.

Jewell gave the players a rare two-day break.

In recent times, they have been under too much pressure, as a manager, they have to worry about the game, they have to worry about the physical condition of the players, and as players, especially the main players, they have to go through game after game and repeat boring training day after day, so that after that, the body will be tired and the spirit will be exhausted.

On the way back to Wigan, everyone was talking and laughing, very relaxed, and after working hard for so long, they were finally able to relax and talk about holiday life.

With two days off, everyone is talking about how to spend it.

"Christmas is coming, and Janet says she's going to spend Christmas with me, you know? It's the first time, she's my girlfriend, but last year she was with her family. Everyone said happily, and Ellington followed suit.

Brygin gave him a disdainful look, "Nathan, you're really a good couple of words to Janet......"

"But the last time I saw Nathan and Janet arguing, yes, it's night, right in front of the club." Barnes interjected suddenly.

"Is there such a thing?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all followed suit.

In the club, Ellington and Janet's love story is much more well-known than Romeo and Juliet, because this guy is talking about it every day, and if people don't ask him, he will tell it himself, as if it was something worth bragging about.

If the two quarrel and break up, everyone will be very interested......

"That'...... That's ......" Ellington slurred, glaring at Barnes fiercely, "That's because Ian dragged me to a nightclub!" ”

"Huh?" Brygin didn't expect this to involve him.

"yes, they went to a nightclub and asked two girls to accompany them." Zhang Tiehan added, "This matter is probably known to Janet." ”

This is what Brygin bragged to him about when he said, 'You're not afraid of being told by Bernice,' and Brecking was noncommittal, but he didn't expect Ellington to win the bid.

"That's nothing to do with me, Nathan insisted on it." Brekin hurriedly discerned.

"Anyway, we're reconciled again!" Ellington philosophically said, "The last thing is over, and we should all look to the future." ”

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Tiehan was playing the game on his mobile phone, and he wasn't saying anything to his teammates, he was thinking about his own affairs, he had to rest at home for two days off, and when the vacation was over, his body would be almost recovered, and then he would be able to play on the court again.

But until then...... Christmas?

"I wonder who Lola will spend Christmas with? Her family? Zhang Tiehan thought that it would be nice if Lola could spend Christmas with him.

Definitely blissful.

……

Wigan Athletic were disbanded upon their return to Wigan, with the players leaving the club for a two-day break.

The holiday is only two days, there is no time to go far away, Zhang Tiehan only plans to stay at home, but he doesn't think about this, he returns to the apartment with a salute, he closes the door as soon as possible, and then lies on the sofa in a daze with his mobile phone.

"Should I go over?"

"I don't know what Lola does? If I asked her to spend Christmas with her, wouldn't it seem too abrupt? ”

"But we talked a lot, and she should feel good about me."

"Spending Christmas together definitely means something...... Does she mess around? Definitely. But it's embarrassing to be rejected. ”

"What are you afraid of? Rejection is rejection. ”

Zhang Tiehan was entangled and struggling, and he didn't decide until half an hour later, and he dialed it several times, but he hung it up as soon as it was revealed. In his previous life, he didn't have any formal girlfriends, nor did he talk about any real love, and he was still like a little boy in the face of these things.

Suddenly, the phone lit up.

It shows a number, and the name of the person to whom the number belongs - Lola.

Zhang Tiehan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly answered the phone, and a sweet voice rang on the other end of the phone, "Zhang, I just watched your match with Aston Villa, but you don't seem to play." ”

"Huh? Oh, I only came off the bench in the second half. ”

"I thought you wouldn't play, so I didn't keep watching." Lola smiled and said.

Zhang Tiehan felt warm in his heart, Lola watched the game just to see herself, does this mean something? He thought crankily.

Lola suddenly said, "By the way, Zhang, I have something to ask you. ”

"What's the matter? As it happens, I have something to ask you as well. ”

"You speak first." Lola said.

Zhang Tiehan opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say it, he was a little annoyed and said, "It's better for you to say it first." ”

"Nope."

"You asked first."

Lola was silent for a moment and said, "Let's talk together." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Tiehan said yes, and he heard Lola start counting down '3,2,1', he closed his eyes, and when Lola counted to one, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can you spend Christmas with me?" ”

On the other end of the phone, Lola also said at the same time, "Can you be my boyfriend?" ”

Both were stunned.

"This is the most beautiful 'please' I've heard since I was a child." After being silent for a while, Zhang Tiehan spit out a sentence, his heart was extremely smooth, he was still thinking about how to pursue Lola, and then Lola sent it to the door by herself.

There is still such a good thing in the world.

Lola was also silent for a while before she said, "Zhang, it's not what you think, that's my father and mother, isn't it...... It's other reasons, all in all......"

"I know the way, I know the way, Lola." Zhang Tiehan said, "Don't say anything, I agreed, Lola, by the way, can you spend Christmas with me?" ”

Lola thought for a moment and agreed, "Yes." ”

"That's great! Lola, see you on Christmas Day! The two chatted a few more words before hanging up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Zhang Tiehan thought back to what happened just now, although he was happy, he always felt weird.

Lola offered to make him her boyfriend? And promised to come to Wigan to spend Christmas with him?

This...... It's really weird.

He didn't know how to describe his current mood, he wasn't too excited, a little strange, and a little worried...... Lola is not something wrong, otherwise how would she suddenly say that, or what.

Zhang Tiehan is looking forward to Christmas coming soon.

……

With a happy mood, Zhang Tiehan worked as an otaku at home for two days.

After two days of nothing, he felt his muscles tremble, as if he was about to burst out at any moment, and on the morning of returning to the club, when it was dark, he had already woken up, ran five kilometers out of the bush, went to breakfast, and then went to the training ground.

When I arrived at the training ground, it was only eight o'clock.

The training ground was empty, Zhang Tiehan began to practice shooting, when the sound of 'bumping' sounded in the training ground again, the sleeping old John was also awakened, he opened the door tremblingly and walked into the training ground, and saw Zhang Tiehan's figure.

Old John walked over and covered his forehead with his hand, "Zhang, do you know what to do?" The past two days have been the most solid I've slept in months. ”

Zhang Tiehan smiled embarrassedly.

John Sr. lives next to the training ground, and the occasional kick to the post can still be heard, "I'll try to be as quiet as possible. ”

Old John smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said to himself, "It's okay, Zhang, I'm just joking with you, people are old, and their energy is not as good as before, I used to get up on time, but the weather has been too cold recently......"

Zhang Tiehan rolled his eyes.

Even if he hasn't been in the team for a long time, he knows John Sr. quite well from what other people say, this guy is very lazy, and he has to get up at eight o'clock in the summer, not to mention the cold winter now, especially after he came to the club, he is responsible for opening the training ground door almost every day, and if he wants to see Old John, he has to wait until after the end of training at noon.

You can imagine how long he slept every day.

The two chatted a few more words, and old John went back, and then all his teammates came to the training ground, and Jewell also arrived at about nine o'clock, and the daily training officially began.

The two-day holiday made everyone a little lazy, coupled with the bad cold weather, so the training was still mainly based on recovery training. However, the atmosphere in training is obviously much better than before, there is no longer that kind of forced dullness, and there are more smiles.

In his free time, Zhang Tiehan still does long-range shooting training.

His body is now full of strength, countless amounts of strength, and he needs to vent it to feel more comfortable, so he has been shooting for two hours in a row, and the sound of 'bumping' one by one makes the heads of other players black--

"Is this guy a monster?"

"I thought he had evolved into a human two days ago......"

"I'm sorry for our next opponent."

Others also mourned in their hearts for their opponents...... Their next opponent is Crewe, who was not a strong team in the first place, and now they have met Zhang Tiehan in such a state, and there are still a few days left in the game, but they can already 'predict' the result.
