No. 170: Dongfang Chen, welcome home!
In the locker room, Dongfang Chen sorted out his equipment.
The players of the Arsenal team all knew that Dongfang Chen's mood at this time must be very complicated, and they didn't bother Dongfang Chen, each doing their own thing.
St Andrews Stadium Dongfang Chen is very familiar, but for the away team dressing room, Dongfang Chen is really unfamiliar, in Birmingham team for two years, Dongfang Chen has not been through the St Andrews Stadium of the away team dressing room once.
It seemed so strange that he couldn't find any of the original feeling.
However, when Dongfang Chen was in Birmingham, he heard from his teammates that although the away team's dressing room at St Andrew's Stadium was not as bad as the away team's dressing room at Stamford Bridge, it was also in the category of rotten.
Sure enough, the away team's dressing room doesn't look very good!
Dongfang Chen couldn't help but look up at the one in the away team's locker room, the stools here are all single stools without backs, and this single stool is also a box, some things can be placed on the line surface, and Dongfang Chen's sneakers are placed in it.
The facilities here are very simple, the bathroom is so small that it can only accommodate one person, and if you turn around a little quickly, you may get stuck.
Dongfang Chen couldn't help but think of the team that came to St Andrews Stadium to play away at this time, and he definitely wouldn't be in a good mood when he thought about it, this was simply a disappointment from Birmingham to them.
At this time, Arsenal's assistant coach Terice walked into the dressing room, and he immediately said to the players in the dressing room: "Go out and warm up, try to move your body as much as possible, and don't have any unexpected injuries." ”
The Arsenal players immediately stood up, sorted out their equipment, and walked towards the players' tunnel.
Dongfang Chen also stood up, and then slowly walked out of the locker room and walked into the players' tunnel.
In the players' tunnel, Dongfang Chen heard that the stadium was already noisy, and he knew that there must be a lot of fans coming to St Andrews Stadium today, even full.
Dongfang Chen took a deep breath, then walked with his head covered, ran out of the players' tunnel, and ran into the court.
The eyes suddenly brightened, and the voice in his ears became louder, Dongfang Chen knew that he was back again.
Dongfang Chen calmly ran into the St. Andrews Stadium.
In fact, the fans in the stadium of St Andrews are still talking about other things in twos and threes, talking about this game. Suddenly, they spotted the Arsenal players coming out to warm up, and they immediately set their sights on the players' tunnel door.
Sure enough, where did Dongfang Chen appear.
Dongfang Chen is still the original Dongfang Chen, his appearance has not changed, but what has changed is the color of the jersey on his body.
Watching Dongfang Chen walk into the stadium wearing the training shirt of the Arsenal team, the fans of the Birmingham team at the scene were in mixed moods. They had imagined countless scenes of the same thing, and they thought they would be very angry.
However, now they don't, what they have in their hearts is excitement, and they finally saw Dongfang Chen in the St. Andrews stadium again.
The entire St Andrews Stadium seemed to be completely silent at this moment.
Dongfang Chen's body trembled slightly, such an atmosphere made Dongfang Chen unexpected, and at the same time he was very embarrassed and disappointed, yes, disappointed!
However, the next moment, some Birmingham fans erupted into a hot shout: "Dongfang Chen, welcome home!" Dongfang Chen, welcome home! Dongfang Chen, welcome home! ”
At first, there were still a few people shouting, but gradually more and more people joined in, and the sound was louder and louder, like a sea tide surging in the distance, rushing towards it, and then slamming on the shore rocks, the waves crashing on the shore, rolling up a burst of water.
Very impressed!
Really impressed!
Dongfang Chen really didn't expect that the fans of the Birmingham team would treat him like this! Very surprised, very surprised, very touched! Dongfang Chen is very grateful to these lovely fans.
These lovely Birmingham fans instantly surrounded Dongfang Chen's heart with a burst of warmth.

The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene saw Dongfang Chen's action, they were even more excited at this time, their shouts were even louder, and the entire St Andrews Stadium sounded the shout of "Dongfang Chen" for the first time after Dongfang Chen left Birmingham.
This is a scene that has not been seen for a long time, and in it, the fans of the Birmingham team can't help but feel a lot of emotion and enthusiasm!
Dongfang Chen is very grateful to these lovely Birmingham fans, and he immediately bowed to the Birmingham fans in all directions, thanking these Birmingham fans for their love and support.
Then, Dongfang Chen threw himself into the warm-up.
Today, Dongfang Chen is not here to catch up or go back to his hometown, today he is here to compete, Dongfang Chen has a high level of professionalism, he knows what he should do!
Dongfang Chen was in the warm-up, and the players of the Birmingham team continued to shout Dongfang Chen's name and cheer for Dongfang Chen.
There were even Birmingham fans who shouted neatly: "Dongfang Chen, let's cheer for you again, okay?" ”
Dongfang Chen is very moved, Dongfang Chen is also very low-selling, warmed up seriously, he wants to adjust his physical condition to the best, he wants to show his most prosperous state in front of the fans of the Birmingham team, this is the best return for the Birmingham fans.
Arsenal assistant coach Pat Rice has been standing on the sidelines to observe the warm-up of the Arsenal players, in his opinion, the Arsenal players have completed the warm-up well, he looked down at the watch in his hand again, and then shouted to the stadium: "Okay, warm up, go back to the dressing room!" ”
Hearing the shouting, the players of the Arsenal team ended their warm-up and walked to the players' tunnel in twos and threes.
Dongfang Chen also finished his warm-up and walked towards the players' tunnel, and the fans of the Birmingham team at the scene shouted Dongfang Chen's name neatly.
Dongfang Chen was moved, and he immediately raised his hands and applauded the fans of the Birmingham team in thanks. He's really grateful to the lovely Birmingham fans.
In this way, Dongfang Chen walked to the player tunnel. However, when he reached the door of the players' tunnel, the stadium of St Andrews resounded with the neat shouts of Birmingham fans: "Is it better not to celebrate when you scored?" ”
The moment he walked into the court, Dongfang Chen's body trembled slightly, and he froze on the spot. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Dongfang Chen took another step and walked into the player's tunnel.
