ball at foot

Although Squillage called out the team's traditions very similarly, there were only a few people who really hung out with them after training.And these people will be Zhao Yaning's teammates in the future.

Along with Squillac, the Senegalese Silva, who was loaned to Ajaccio from Monaco, is the team's main goalkeeper.He is said to be playing at a high level, with a low goal conceded rate in the French second division.However, Zhao Yaning did not have the opportunity to see the level of this black goalkeeper. In today’s group confrontation, they were divided into the same group. The goalkeeper that Zhao Yaning mainly faced was a substitute goalkeeper. Shaw's substitute, but because his contract is not a loan contract, he will stay in Ajaccio for a longer time, so he is also regarded as Ajaccio's future.

The other two who came out with them were the young defender Lefra in the team, and the winger Lacombe who was loaned from Monaco.One of these two people will be Squillage's partner in the future, and the other will be Zhao Yaning's partner.

Lefra is just 23 years old this year, about the same age as Squillage, and the two young men have supported the team's defense.It is said that he is a very high-level player, and even Arsenal have sent scouts to investigate him-but Zhao Yaning also feels that this is like Squillage’s special cliché for a high-level person, because whether it is Levra, Squillage himself, Lacombe, or the Ghanaian Essien from Bastia next door, Squillage's adjectives for them are all inspected by Arsenal.

The experience of Gregory Lacombe is even better. He is also from Monaco, but unlike Squillage, he just came this season.When he was in Monaco, he was quite famous, but it is said that the newly appointed coach of Monaco this year Didier Deschamps looked down on him and sent him to Ajaccio. [

No matter what his level is, just being able to get involved with a meritorious figure of the French national team like Didier Deschamps, and even have conflicts, is enough to make Zhao Yaning feel overwhelmed.After all, he is from China, and the biggest football stars he has ever seen are only a few Chinese internationals. He still finds it incredible to hear the stories of Deschamps from the people around him.

When several people came out from the club, they borrowed the car of captain Eric Colin, but the captain had no interest in hanging out with them.The veteran of the team is a local. He is over 30 years old. After the age of playing around, he just gently asked a few words not to make too much trouble, and then went home by himself.

And the team's big star, Rodriguez, didn't go out with them either.The striker is the only player in Ajaccio who has international experience, and everyone can understand his arrogant attitude.What's more, he was already known for his bad temper and bad interpersonal relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in any team for less than two years, played everywhere, and even left two wandering killers in France.

"It's fine if he doesn't come. We are all young people. We had a good time. They have old arms and legs. They can't sleep well and won't be able to run again tomorrow. The confrontation game is boring." Squillage was driving the car. He was still joking with some big bosses of the team, "Joy, tell yourself, where are we going? Are you interested in visiting Napoleon's coffin? If not, I won't stop, let's go straight to the destination The land will be fine."

"If you are interested, come back later." Silva sat in the back of the car, but did not delay him from speaking, "There is nothing to see, it is all repaired by later generations, and the praises of the French. If you and I If you don’t know much about French history, there is no need to go to see it, and you can’t understand it. I have been there several times, and I remember one thing: Although Napoleon was only 167m, he was still a tall man in that era Woolen cloth."

"If I was born in that era, wouldn't I be a little giant..."

Squillage's narcissistic words aroused another round of ridicule.

But in the crowd, Zhao Yaning was still a little uneasy, "The destination you mentioned, shouldn't it be a place like a night show? The coach knows that we are going out. If we go to that kind of place, will the coach be unhappy? "

Several people stopped laughing, and Squillage frowned, "I didn't understand what you meant. Why is the coach upset when we go out to play?"

"Shouldn't professional players go to that kind of place?"

"Boy, do you think we took you to the caravan, or did you think we took you to Amsterdam?"

When Silva asked, Zhao Yaning lowered his head in embarrassment.Zhao Yaning didn’t know what the caravan he was talking about, but Zhao Yaning still knew where Amsterdam was.

"Joy, I don't know how your previous coach guided you, but obviously, in France, you need a new mentor."

Squillage was talking, and he had already driven the car into the urban area, "Come on, follow us to learn how to live in France."

When several people arrived at the Red Turban Bar, it was still dark, but the bar was already full of people.Squillage skillfully found the owner of the tavern. After saying hello, several people were taken to a special room.

Zhao Yaning was stunned by such treatment, "Do you come here often? Do you still have your own private room?"

"It's not my private room, it's the team's private room." Squillage shook his head, "This is reserved by our assistant coach, Mr. Bijota, and every time someone from the team comes, they come here. "

Zhao Yaning looked away, feeling that everything was so incredible.

"Boy, I heard that everything in your country is nationalized, and the training is like East Germany. It's all inhumane, isn't it? I heard that in your country, players are not allowed to drink, touch women, and be lazy , entertainment is not allowed, only training is allowed, isn’t it?” [

What Lefra said made Zhao Yaning a little annoyed, "Nonsense, we don't have that kind of request! We don't drink alcohol and touch women because we are conscious. Those things will ruin the careers of players, so we won't take our own. Career jokes."

At least I won't.Zhao Yaning added in his heart.He knows a lot about touching those things and ruining himself, but how those people are closed to him, he just wants to play football well now, and let's talk about other things.

"Joy, drinking won't ruin your career, alcoholism will. Similarly, women won't ruin your career, promiscuity will." Squillage saw that Zhao Yaning was dissatisfied, and gave Levra a look , stopped him from joking about the country, "Haven't you heard that drinking a little alcohol is beneficial to the human body?"

"I'm not sure about the degree, I would rather not drink it. And I don't like this kind of place, I want to go back..."

"Joy, sit down, don't be childish, wait until I finish telling you." Squillage stopped him, sat beside him, and put his arms around his shoulders, "Listen, Joey, The coaches know the things I teach you now, but they won’t say them. But these things are for you for life. This is the experience of the players.”

Zhao Yaning held back and did not stand up again.

"Joy, I don't know what it's like in your country, but here, in Europe, we don't advocate spending all our time in training. We have our own private life, which helps us relax. Self, mentally, physically, adjust yourself to be in the best state." Squillage waved his hand, "We are not here for drinking or women, but to relax and be happy for a while, this is nothing Big deal."

"But I think it's learning to be bad."

"What kind of bad school is this?" Squillage shook his head and laughed, "The coaches understand all these things about us. They have also played football and know all about it. But do you know that the private rooms here are reserved by the coaches. Our drinks are low-alcohol cocktails specially prepared by the coach. As you can see, our car belongs to the captain. The coach said hello before we came. If nothing unexpected happens, the time is almost up. The boss will come back and inform us to go back Our activities are clear to the coaches."

This was another thing that stunned Zhao Yaning.He thought that European football was more professional, and there would be less drinking and chaos in life, but who knew that the coach here would have such an agreement with the tavern.

"The coach knows that we are under pressure, and we cannot avoid these places by blindly suppressing them. Therefore, his method is to make these places harmful. Alcohol, passion, and staying up late are huge threats to a player's career, but if If we drink low-alcohol alcohol and don't stay up late, our careers will improve a lot. As for women, we are still poor, and what kind of women you can seduce depends entirely on yourself." Squillage shrugged, "In the future, you may go to other places to play football. Remember, when you get to a place, first find the old players in the team and ask about this kind of place. Find someone who can play football locally. It’s very important to relax yourself and not affect your career so much. These things, the coaches will not tell you, they are all from our experience.”

"But, does the coach really care about these things? We are outside, and after all, it is impossible for the coach to know every one of our activities."

"The convenience that the coach provides us is private. If you abide by his restrictions, you will have a good life. But if you don't abide by..." Squillage laughed twice, "Our system in Ajaccio is not perfect, you go Stay in Monaco for two days and you will know. Check your weight every week, and lose weight immediately if you are overweight, without any delay.”

In this way, Zhao Yaning had some understanding.

European players turned out to be like this.The club will not explicitly ban any activity, but will set a checkpoint on the outcome.You can go to nightclubs, but you have to keep your weight off.

European coaches used to take care of players in this way in private.They know that it is impossible to strictly prohibit players from going to these places, so they use means to make these places harmful.

It is indeed better than the Chinese way.

"Understood now? Go find yourself on the dance floor and see if there are any girls you like. I don't need to teach you how to pick up girls, right?"

"No need...I want to go back." Zhao Yaning shook his head, but still said something disappointing.

"Why? Didn't I tell you everything..."

"But I still don't like it here. It's not my place. I don't like this kind of music, this kind of lighting, and the way these people dress."

Several teammates looked at him, unable to say anything for a long time. [

"Then you just sit here for a while, and let's go together later, okay?" Squillage asked Zhao Yaning's consent, and ran to the dance floor by himself.

"Sebas, this little guy is really weird." Lacombe walked past him and said softly.

"He is from Asia, of course he doesn't fit in. Just wait, he has to integrate here sooner or later. Football belongs to Europe. If you can't integrate into Europe, you can't understand football. He is nothing."
