Three watches——

Ajax's winter break reserve training camp has begun.

Captain Van der Vaart, who won the European Golden Boy Award, is more active than in the past, seemingly silently declaring his "leadership role".

The training team is improving day by day, and Qin Xiong is not uncomfortable.

And he became a "coach" at the end of each day's training, supervising Sneijder's training with Heitinga.

This was requested by Sneijder on his own initiative.

gave Qin Xiong the opportunity to "bully" Sneijder with Heitinga.

21 January 2004.

Four days later, Ajax will host Nijmegen.

Today's training was the same as usual, nothing special.

However, Qin Xiong seemed absent-minded during training, and he was not even interested in chatting and joking with his teammates.

Especially at the beginning of the afternoon training, Coman noticed Qin Xiong's strange appearance WWW.UUXS.CC, and called Qin Xiong to his side and asked him if he was not feeling well.

Koeman's attention to Qin Xiong is obvious to all, and in the second half of the season, the health and condition of all Ajax's main players are the top priority in the manager's mind.

Qin Xiong was not lazy, and he completed the training tasks arranged by the coaching staff as well as always.

It's just that it seems melancholy and lonely.

In the face of Koman's concern, Qin Xiong did not tell the truth, but just shook his head and said that he had no problem.

Yes, even if there is a problem, it is only a short day today.

Maybe no one in Ajax knows or cares, today is China's Chinese New Year's Eve, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Due to the time difference, when the afternoon training begins, in China, it should be the time when families gather together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala together.

In the past few years, every Spring Festival, Jiangcheng Youth Football Home will organize a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and a group of children will get together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, eat and drink, both enjoyable and happy.

I may not have thought it was so special before, especially since it was like that every year, it became a habit, there were no surprises, and Qin Xiong himself didn't have many friends over there.

But it is always a special festival, there is a group of compatriots celebrating together, and the atmosphere is still there.

And when this kind of festival that has lost its surprises comes again, Qin Xiong, who has traveled across the ocean and is far away in Europe, feels an irrepressible sense of loneliness.

After the training, the other teammates left one after another, Qin Xiong also went back to the locker room to change into casual clothes, and he returned to the training ground with a shoulder bag on his back.

Sneijder is still working hard, running with weights.

Heitinga stood aside with his arms around his chest and pretended to supervise him with a majestic expression, Qin Xiong walked over to say hello and said, "I'll take the first step today." ”

Sneijder caught up with Qin Xiong, pushed him on the shoulder, and said with a stern expression: "Hey, are you in trouble?" Speak up and we'll help you out. ”

Amsterdam also hides monstrous evils under the prosperity, and people like Qin Xiong, who have left their hometown and come here, are not certain, but there is indeed a small probability that they will run into trouble.

Qin Xiong shook his head and said to him, "I'm fine, you continue to train, and I'll supervise you tomorrow." Don't worry, it's fine. ”

Sneijder smiled, Qin Xiong waved at Heitinga again, and he walked out of the club.

Walking back to Warder Street, the sky was dark.

Qin Xiong returned to the apartment and lay on his back on the big bed.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, Qin Xiong picked it up and saw that it was a number from Germany.

He thought of a former friend who would only email once a month on average.

After picking up the phone and hearing the voice on the other side, Qin Xiong's guess was not wrong.

"Brother Yi, is there something wrong?"

Liu Yi, a Chinese player who plays in Nuremberg, Germany, has the same background as Qin Xiong, and both come from the Jiangcheng Youth Football Home.

"Qin Xiong, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, ask you how to spend the Spring Festival."

"The team has to train, and it's normal."

"Well, Peng Fei called me just now, and he meant that we should get together in Europe and spend the holidays together."

Zhang Pengfei, who is from the same background as them, now plays for Maritimo in Portugal.

After hearing this, Qin Xiong was surprised and said, "He is in Portugal, far away from us." ”

"He said that as long as we decided to celebrate the holiday together, he would ask the club for leave."

Germany shares a border with the Netherlands, which is very close and easily accessible.

But Portugal to the Netherlands or Germany, that's going to cross half of Europe.

Qin Xiong thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's come to Europe to play, work is the most important, don't ask the club for leave for the holidays, let him stay in Portugal, get together, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

"Well, okay, that's what I mean, but you also know Pengfei's character and likes to toss around. By the way, will you be back home next month? ”

"I shouldn't go back, next month, there will be a European war."

"Well, it's understandable, come on, I should go back, the shape in the Nuremberg league is good, as long as you don't drop the chain, you may play in the Bundesliga next season, Alihan called me and asked me to return to China next month to represent the national team in the world preliminaries."

"Okay, come on, too!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiong got up to open the door, and heard a knock on the door just now.

Freddie entered the room and closed the door, and when he saw Qin Xiong lying back on the bed, he frowned and asked, "What?" Don't want to go? ”

This morning, I said that I would go to Chinatown in the evening, and overseas Chinese will also hold Chinese New Year's Eve celebrations.

Qin Xiong lay on the bed and said lightly: "It feels very strange, it feels really strange to insist on participating in their activities even though I don't know a Chinese." ”

Freddie sighed, drifting away, and that's it.

He understood Qin Xiong's feelings very well.

At that time, he went to China alone because of the large remuneration offered by the Tang Group, and he was not alone during the festival, but later there were more foreigners, and everyone was familiar with each other, so he felt a little bit during the festival.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Qin Xiong straightened up and looked at Freddie, even the landlord Lute Manson rarely came to knock on the door, and there were no guests in his apartment at all.

Who will be outside the door?

Qin Xiong walked to open the door, and when he saw Sylvia and Georgia standing outside the door, he asked in great surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Sylvia took Georgia's hand, and in her other hand she was holding a three-tiered insulated food box.

The two sisters and brothers walked into the room with a smile on their faces, the two glanced at each other, and then smiled at Qin Xiong in unison: "Happy New Year!" ”

Qin Xiong's face was sluggish.

The two siblings used Chinese that sounded awkward, but very warm.

Sylvia let go of Georgia's hand, lowered her head and smiled, as if she knew that Chinese was strange, a little embarrassed.

After she raised her head again, she put the thermos food box in her other hand on the table in the room, turned around and smiled at Qin Xiong: "You said at Christmas that the Chinese New Year is at the end of the winter break, so I specifically checked it and asked some Chinese classmates, confirming that today is similar to our Christmas Eve, which is a very important holiday, so, Georgia and I came to accompany you for the holiday, oh, I heard that China has the custom of eating dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, so I tried to make some myself, if it is not delicious, please don't laugh at my craftsmanship." ”

Qin Xiong was stunned and stunned.

The whole heart seems to melt at this moment.

Looking at the pretty and beautiful Sylvia, and the lovely Georgia with a toothy smile at him, Qin Xiong seemed to have a thousand words in his throat, and he didn't know what to say.

Freddie looked at the room, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and left silently.

Qin Xiong suddenly became embarrassed, because his apartment was too small, and there were no furnishings, even a chair.

So he could only sit on the edge of the bed, with the chair in front of him, and Georgia sat there, shaking his legs happily, urging Qin Xiong to hurry up and taste the dumplings made by his sister.

The dumplings brought by Sylvia looked very good, and Qin Xiong didn't care about the taste when he ate them, his heart was filled with emotion.

It's just that Sylvia didn't bring chopsticks, but used a fork to make little impact.

"Give me a taste too, my sister won't allow me to steal it when it's ready."

Qin Xiong held the plate in his left hand, and fed Georgia a dumpling with a fork in his right hand.

Sylvia stood in front of the table in the room, with her back to the direction of the bed, she casually picked up the picture book on Qin Xiong's desk, flipped through it casually, and suddenly, her face was full of redness.

Because in the painting book, there are too many, too many are sketches of her portraits.

She didn't dare turn away.

Qin Xiong was eating dumplings while happily introducing Georgia how Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival.

The loneliness that lasted for a long time during the day dissipated in an instant.

Maybe this Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't have a lively life at all, and he didn't eat and drink to satisfy his appetite.

But he was happy.

Is there a feeling that may be remembered for a lifetime? R1152
