ball at foot

This is where I need to live for the next year.

Ajaccio is not a big club with limited funds. Therefore, it is impossible to arrange any particularly good luxury houses for the players.However, because it has become a tradition for Ajaccio to loan players, they have arrangements for this.Where Zhao Yaning lives is a hotel that the team has rented for a long time.

But such a living environment is enough for Zhao Yaning.He doesn't dare to look forward to any mansion now. Although the small hotel here is not particularly luxurious, it has a good location.This hotel was built on the seashore. Apart from the hotel being the beach, the sound of the tide on the beach could also be heard from the room. This kind of environment already made him very satisfied.

"It's really a child, what's exciting to hear 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 take such an environment at ease.Ajaccio is not a big city in the first place, and the team deliberately decided to place the players’ residences in the suburbs. Apart from the airport, the closest urban facilities to this hotel are only football fields, entertainment venues, good restaurants, science and technology. Xijia's tourist attractions are far away from here.From bustling Paris to Ajaccio, and 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.

Once Zhao Yaning was settled, Cordia left.For Zhao Yaning, what he needs to do is to go to the team for training tomorrow, but for some other documents and contracts, Cordia has to deliver with 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 to handle the relationship well with your teammates. If there is anything about him that you can't stand, just Call me, don't ever figure it out yourself." [

Zhao Yaning nodded and watched Cordia leave.The team has training today, and it will take some time for his roommate to come back, and during this time, Zhao Yaning also had time to clean up the house.

The owner of the house does not seem to be a neat and tidy person. The jerseys hanging in the house and the smelly socks thrown on the ground are all 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 had been occupied by his roommate, and he didn't want to care about anything else.

After a while, he heard voices coming from the hotel.

"You kicked really badly today..."

Although the French that came to his ears had a strange accent, it was not enough for Zhao Yaning to understand.And following these words, a big man opened the door and walked into the house.

"You're... you're the new teammate, right?"

The big man was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "We were just betting on which room you would live in, but I didn't expect it to be me who won the lottery this time. Just got off the plane, right? What's your impression of Ajaccio? Are you disappointed? Accents, the economy, beaches without beautiful women, football without championships, everything sucks, huh?"

The person who came was familiar, and before Zhao Yaning could react, it was just a word.There was also an accent in his words, and Zhao Yaning was also half-intelligible, but he saw that the other party had no malice, that is, the nodding responder.

This is a tall white player - he is tall, but he is not much taller than Zhao Yaning, but his muscles look strong enough, a full two laps bigger than Zhao Yaning.And although he talks a lot of nonsense, he is far from old enough to be said to be old. On the contrary, he looks about 20 years old.

It can be seen that this is a very talkative person. After chatting a lot, he realized that Zhao Yaning didn't speak at all, "What's wrong? What I said is wrong? Why are you so restrained? Don't worry, all the residents here are rented by teams from outside. Yes, scolding the team twice in private and no one knows."

Zhao Yaning shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm not restrained, but you speak too fast, I can't get in."

Hearing what he said, the big man nodded, "I just came to France, it's normal not to understand authentic French. I know a lot of players from Africa, and they all speak French in a mess. Their kind of stuff still thinks it's French , I give them language lessons every time. Don’t worry, although your French is not very idiomatic, but it’s much better than some nonsense guys. After my teaching, it’s absolutely impossible to communicate with your teammates Question, learn from me for a month, and guarantee that you will benefit from it for the rest of your life..."

"Hey, brother, I don't know your name yet." Zhao Yaning hurriedly interrupted the big talk.

"Me? Squillage! Sebastian Squillage. I'm here on loan, just like you. I came from the youth training in Toulon, and now I'm a player from Monaco, here on loan. It's been a year, one more year on loan. I play full back, center back. Can you read my name? Squillacci - Italian name, I'm an Italian immigrant, I think that's my defensive talent too origin of……"

"Zhao Zhao, a Chinese, plays as a winger."

Zhao Yaning couldn't help but interrupted him again.

"Zhao Zhao..." Squillage imitated it again, but shook his head, "Say it directly, according to your pronunciation habits, should I call you Zhao or Ning?"

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised. He thought that foreigners don’t understand the arrangement of Chinese names.But these are indeed his lack of understanding. Apart from China, there are many places in Africa where the surname comes first and the first name comes after. There are a lot of Africans in France, so everyone still knows how to arrange the names.

"You can just call me Zhao."

Squillage murmured for a while before laughing, "Zho, the nickname should be Joy, right? Then I will call you Joy from now on, and you can call me Sebastian from now on. Then we It’s like getting to know each other.”

Where does the last name have a nickname?Just as Zhao Yaning wanted to retort, he held back himself.He knew that the Chinese pronunciation of these guys who were accustomed to speaking French was not very accurate, and corrections were of no use.And it's just a code name, the Brazilians still have their nicknames printed on their jerseys, so I have the right to think that I have an English name.

"You play as a winger? Why do you come to France to play a winger? France does not produce wingers. Our French midfielder and defense are world-class, and our strikers are also among the best in the world, but wingers are not our strengths. If you If you play sideways, you should go to the Iberian Peninsula, or the island country across the sea, where the wingers run rampant..."

Squillage was still chattering, this time Zhao Yaning was too embarrassed to keep interrupting him, so he let him continue.

"Well, it may be awkward to ask this now, but I think it should be said in advance: what is your belief? I am a Catholic. If you believe in Islam, then you can report to the team to change the room... ..." After talking for a long time, perhaps seeing that Zhao Yaning was still easy to talk about, Squillage began to tell the really big things.

"I'm not religious, I'm a theist."

Although strictly speaking, Zhao Yaning dare not believe in any ghosts and gods, but when it comes to speaking, he still thinks he is a firm theist.After all, he is also a Chinese. After receiving so many years of Chinese education, he still doesn't believe in religion.

This answer made Squillage's mouth wide open in surprise, and it took him a long time before he said, "By the way, I've heard that you are Chinese..."

"Sebas, don't say what you shouldn't say." Zhao Yaning changed his face this time.

"Understood, I understand. You guys are all patriotic and patriotic good boys. You absolutely cannot tolerate other people insulting the motherland. Don't worry, since I can refrain from laughing at Cameroon's kind in order to accommodate my Cameroon teammates The incomprehensible noise that calls itself music can resist criticizing your country... But you don’t object to my praise of Chinese food? Sometimes I like to eat Chinese food. If I have to eat, I can’t comment on it. So sad."

For this small request, Zhao Yaning could only nod in agreement.

"A theist? This is rather strange. I haven't seen many theists. But you can tell me what you said. Although I am a believer, my attitude towards God is to say, worship, pray. , These things are not very observable to me. But this is the world of the Algarians, and those guys don’t see theists, if you talk nonsense, be careful and you will be in trouble.”

Zhao Yaning nodded quickly, this is useful information.

"Besides, we live together. We have to discuss the issue of eating, bringing the woman back for the night, and the ownership of the walls in the house. Let me first say that I have reserved the wall at the head of the bed. To put up my poster here I'm going to have my poster this season."

Zhao Yaning nodded again.

"Very good, you are a very good brother, I like your personality." Squillage clapped his hands happily, "It may not work today, it's too late, everyone may have arrangements, tomorrow, Let's go into the city, where can we find a place to spend the night, my treat."

"No, I..."

"This is a tradition, and traditions should be followed." Squillage waved his hand to stop him, "I have been playing here for a year, and I am your big brother. If you have any problems, you can naturally ask me for help , Welcome newcomers, this is our tradition. If you play here for a long time, you have to learn this, maybe next year, it is up to you to welcome others."

Zhao Yaning couldn't say anything, so he could only nod again.

"Okay, I have a reason to go out and have fun tomorrow...Joy, is there anything else? Do you need me to help you? Tell me, and I will help you."

"Yes." Zhao Yaning replied immediately, "Can you play football with me for a while?"
