Section 18 Roommates on the same team
This is where I need to stay for the next year.
Ajaccio is not a big club and has limited funds, so it is impossible to arrange any particularly good mansions for the players. However, because it has become a tradition for Ajaccio to take on loan, they have arranged for it. The place where Zhao Yaning lives is a hotel rented by the team for a long time.
However, such a living environment is enough for Zhao Yaning. He didn't dare to expect any mansions now, and the small hotels here were not particularly luxurious, but the location was good. This hotel is built on the beachfront, in addition to the hotel is the beach, you can also hear the sound of the tide on the beach in the house, such an environment, has made him very satisfied.
"What a child, what is there to be excited about hearing the sound of the waves." Although he complained that Zhao Yaning had never seen the world, Cordia was still very happy that Zhao Yaning could be at ease with such an environment. Ajaccio is not a big city in the first place, and the team deliberately set the place of residence of the players in the suburbs, and the closest city facilities to the hotel, except for the airport, are only football stadiums, entertainment venues, good restaurants, and tourist attractions in Corsica are far away. From bustling Paris to Ajaccio, still living in such a place away from the crowd, Cordia thought that Zhao Yaning would still be a little uncomfortable, but now it seems that he is not unhappy.
After settling Zhao Yaning, Cordia left. For Zhao Yaning, all he needs to do is to go to the team for training tomorrow, but some other documents and contracts have to be handed over by Cordia to the team. But before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Zhao Yaning, "Your hotel is a room for two people, and you will have a roommate, remember that your teammates have handled the relationship well." If there's something about him that you can't stand it, just call me and don't fix it yourself. ”
Zhao Yaning nodded, and watched Kodia leave. The team has training today, and his roommate will have to come back for a while, and during this time, Zhao Yaning also has time to clean up the house.
The owner of the house doesn't seem to be a neat and clean person, and the jerseys hanging in the house and the stinky socks thrown on the ground are telling Zhao Yaning this. But fortunately, Zhao Yaning is not a hygienic person, and he doesn't want to clean up those, he just cleaned up the bed that has been occupied by his roommate, and he doesn't want to care about anything else.
After a while, he heard the sound of people coming from the hotel.
"You stinked so much today......"
Although there was a strange accent in the French that came to his ears, it was not so bad that Zhao Yaning couldn't understand it. And with these words, a large man pushed open the door and entered the house.
"Are you...... You're the new teammate, right? ”
The big man was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "We were betting on which room you would live in, but I didn't expect that I would win the lottery this time." Just got off the plane, right? What is your impression of Ajaccio? Isn't it disappointing? Accents, the economy, a beach without beauties, football without a championship, everything sucks, right? ”
The person who came was familiar, and before Zhao Yaning could react, it was a pass. There was also an accent in his words, and Zhao Yaning was also half-incomprehensible, but he saw that the other party had no malicious intent, that is, he nodded and answered.
This is a tall white player - he is tall, but he is not much taller than Zhao Yaning, but his muscles look strong enough that he is two laps larger than Zhao Yaning. And although he talks a lot of nonsense, he is far from being old enough to be said to be old, on the contrary, his age looks like he is about twenty years old.
It can be seen that this is a very talkative person, and he has been talking a lot, only to find that Zhao Yaning didn't open his mouth at all, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? Why are you so restrained? Don't worry, the residents here are all rented by the outside team, and no one knows about scolding the team twice in private. ”
Zhao Yaning smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm not restrained, it's just that you are talking too fast, and I can't interject." ”
The big man heard his words and nodded, "You just came to France, it's normal to not understand authentic French." I know a lot of players from Africa who speak French all in a mess. They think it's French, and I give them language lessons every time. You don't have to worry, although your French is not very authentic, but it is much better than some nonsense guys, after my teaching, it is definitely not a problem to communicate with your teammates, learn from me for a month, and you are guaranteed to be used for life......"
"Hey, bro, I don't know your name yet." Zhao Yaning hurriedly interrupted this big conversation basket.
"Me? Squealaki! Sebastian Squeraci. Like you, I'm here on loan. I came through the Toulon academy and now I'm a player from Monaco and I've been here on loan for a year and there's still a year to go. I play at the back, at centre-back. You'll read my name, right? Squeiraci – Italian name, I'm an Italian immigrant, and I think that's where my defensive talent comes from......"
"Zhao Yaning, Chinese, plays winger."
Zhao Yaning couldn't help but interrupt him again.
"Zhao Yaning......" Squealaki imitated it, but still shook his head, "You say directly, according to your language pronunciation habits, should I call you Zhao or Ning?" ”
Zhao Yaning was a little surprised, he thought that foreigners did not understand the name arrangement of Chinese. However, these are indeed his lack of understanding, in addition to China, there are many places in Africa where the surname comes first, and the name comes last, and there are a lot of Africans in France, so everyone still knows how to arrange the name.
"You can call me Zhao."
Squeirachi muttered for a while before laughing, "Zhao, the nickname should be joy, right?" Then I'll call you Joey in the future, and you can call me Sebas in the future, and then we can know each other. ”
Where do you have a nickname for your last name? As soon as Zhao Yaning wanted to open his mouth to refute, he held back. He knew that these guys were used to speaking French, and their tongues were not very accurate in pronunciation, and it was useless to correct them. And it's just a code name, and the Brazilian still has a nickname printed on his jersey, so he has the right to have an English name.
"You're playing as a winger? Why do you want to come to France as a winger? France don't have wingers. Our midfielders and defence are world-class, and our forwards are among the best in the world, but wingers are not our forte. If you're playing on the wing, you should go to the Iberian Peninsula, or the island nation across the sea, where the wingers run rampant......"
Squeirachi was still chattering, and this time Zhao Yaning was embarrassed to interrupt him all the time, so he let him continue.
"Well, it may be a bit embarrassing to ask this now, but I think I should say it beforehand: What is your faith? I'm a Catholic, if you believe in Islam, then you can change rooms with the team......" After arguing for a long time, maybe seeing that Zhao Yaning was still good at talking, Squealer began to talk about the real big things.
"I'm not religious, I'm an atheist."
Although strictly speaking, Zhao Yaning didn't dare to disbelieve in any ghosts and gods, but when it came to speaking, he still thought that he was a staunch atheist. Anyway, he is also a Chinese, having received so many years of Chinese education, he still does not believe in religion.
This answer made Squeerage's mouth open in surprise, and it took a long time to speak, "By the way, I've heard, you're Chinese......"
"Sebas, don't say what you shouldn't say." Zhao Yaning's face changed this time.
"Understood, understood. You guys are all good children full of patriotic sentiments, and you absolutely cannot tolerate other people's insults to the motherland. Rest assured, since I can resist laughing at Cameroon's self-proclaimed music noise in order to accommodate my Cameroonian teammates, I can resist judging your country...... But you don't object to me complimenting Chinese food, right? Sometimes I like to eat some Chinese food, and it would be sad if I had to hold back and not be able to comment. ”
For this small request, Zhao Yaning could only nod and agree.
"Atheists? This is a strange one. I haven't met a few atheists. But it's okay for you to tell me this, although I am a believer, but my attitude towards God, that is to say, worship, prayer, these things are not very observant to me. But this is the Algarlian world, and those guys can't see atheists, and if you talk nonsense, be careful that you're going to be out of luck. ”
Zhao Yaning nodded hurriedly, this is useful information.
"Besides, let's live together, and we have to discuss the issue of eating, bringing the woman back for the night, and the ownership of the walls in the house. I'll start by saying I've booked the wall at the head of the bed, and I'm going to put up my poster here – I'm going to have my own poster this season. ”
Zhao Yaning nodded again.
"Very good, you are a good brother, I like this kind of personality of yours." Squealaki clapped his hands happily, "It may not work today, it's too late, everyone may have made arrangements, tomorrow, let's go into the city, where to find a place to spend the night, I'll have a treat." ”
"No, I'm ......"
"This is a tradition, and tradition should be observed." Squeiraci waved his hand to stop him, "I've been playing here for a year, I'm your big brother, if you have something, you can naturally ask me for help and welcome new people, it's our tradition." If you've been here for a long time, you've got to learn that, and maybe next year, it's time for you to welcome somebody. ”
Zhao Yaning couldn't say anything, so he could only nod again.
"Okay, there's a reason to go out tomorrow...... Joey, is there anything else? Need me help you with something? Say it, and I'll do it for you. ”
"Yes." Zhao Yaning immediately replied, "Can you play football with me for a while?" ”
