Chapter 136 A Call From China

According to the league schedule of the German Football Association, the Bundesliga teams now have a winter break of nearly two months, and the second half of the league will not restart until February [-] next year.For the players, they can already enjoy the holidays, but Slomka is still concerned about the Champions League round of [-] draw. Only when the dust settles on this major event, can he enjoy the Christmas and New Year holidays with confidence.

On December [-], UEFA held the draw for the round of [-] of this season's UEFA Champions League at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The two most important rules of the lottery are the avoidance of qualifying teams in the same group and the avoidance of teams in the same league. The top sixteen teams are not classified according to their strength, but the head coaches of each team will have their own tendencies according to their own strength.

Slomka does not want the team to encounter Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​​​Real Madrid, Arsenal, Juventus and Inter Milan prematurely at this stage.

Half of the opponents have to avoid it, it is very difficult to meet his wishes...

But Slomka was not dazzled by the short-term victory at the league level. He knew very well that the team could meet Panathinaikos, Villarreal, and Lyon according to his wishes. The hope of advancing to the quarter-finals will greatly increase.

As a result, Schalke's opponent was Porto, a strong team in the Portuguese Super League. Slomka is basically satisfied with this result, and he can enjoy the Christmas holiday with a more relaxed mood.

At the same time, Zhou Tiancheng and Chu Yunling are already tasting the beach on the French island of Corsica and enjoying the abundant wine here.

Zhou Tiancheng has always had a plan in mind: use the holidays of each season to enjoy all the prestigious scenic spots in Europe.

Zhou Tiancheng felt that he had plenty of time to go in Germany, so he chose the neighboring country, the romantic capital of France, as the first stop of his "Tour around Europe".

Originally, Zhou Tiancheng planned to go to Paris, but it was not easy to book a hotel at this time, so Zhou Tiancheng discussed with Chu Yunling and changed his plan to Corsica.It's not as well-known as Paris, but it's actually not bad at all.

Of course, Corsica is by no means unknown, and it is also one of the most popular tourist destinations, especially for many history or military lovers-a world-famous figure in French history was born here: Napoleon Bonaparte.

Coming here, of course, I have to go to the former residence of Napoleon. Zhou Tiancheng still respects this little man who once influenced the history of the world.In his opinion, football can be called a war in a peaceful age, and the two actually have something in common; calling for geniuses requires a natural leader, or even a hero!

Looking up at Napoleon's former residence, Zhou Tiancheng realized something that he could use on the green field from the commentator's explanation.

……

On Christmas Eve, with bright lights, even the small town of Ajaccio on the island of Corsica, the shops and taverns became lively. Chinese people who have been abroad for a long time actually have a special feeling for traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival in China.Although the two of them were not very interested in this kind of Christmas, Zhou Tiancheng took a face-to-face photo with Chu Yunling on a whim and posted it in the "Waiting for Salted Fish to Bubble" group.It immediately caused the two online singles to complain.

Dapeng Spreading Wings (Chen Pengfei): Too cruel!It's good to be rich, and I went to France as soon as I said it. It's not like we can only squat in a rented house and slowly fight in various groups.

The sound of the waves is still the same (Ming Tao): First of all, there must be a beautiful woman who is willing to be your girlfriend... Brother Cheng, I despise you, show affection, and die quickly!

Zhou Tiancheng laughed and went offline directly.

Once Christmas is over, New Year's Day in 2009 is not far away, and New Year's Eve is equally lively all over the world.The two tacitly made their New Year's resolutions facing the beach on a beach in Corsica.

Looking back on his past year, Zhou Tiancheng felt the same as last year, dreamy, and this year the feeling was even stronger.

Last year, it was only him who completed the transformation of his identity as a professional player. This year is different. He is no longer an unknown little player. He has gained popularity in the five major leagues. Things that he didn't even dare to think about before, now Zhou Tiancheng thinks it is true. It's not hard, he can do better.

"Ah Cheng, what wish did you make?" Chu Yunling asked curiously.

Zhou Tiancheng rolled his eyes, did not answer directly, and asked instead: "Xiao Ling, we have known each other for three years, right?"

Chu Yunling nodded and smiled, she remembered the time when she first met.

Zhou Tiancheng sighed: "Three years... Hey, Xiao Ling, don't you think our relationship seems to be progressing a bit slowly."

"Hmph, it's not because you've been busy forever." Chu Yunling responded with the opportunity.

"Uh..." Zhou Tiancheng really didn't know what to say, and after three seconds, he continued, "Okay, I was wrong, but Xiaoling, don't you think our... procedure is a little slow?"

Chu Yunling was stunned.

Zhou Tiancheng struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "For three years, our relationship, our relationship, seems to have not taken the deepest step. Look at today's auspicious day. Let's brew it later in the evening. Then……"

"Damn it! Necrosis." Chu Yunling blushed suddenly, Zhou Tiancheng hinted so clearly, how could she not understand.

"Men are not bad and women don't love. Besides, all dating that is not for the purpose of marriage is hooliganism. Since I told you so, you should understand me. I will recognize you in this life."

Although Chu Yunling was very happy in her heart, she struggled a bit and still refused firmly: "No, we will talk about it when you propose to me."

"Ah? If I knew it earlier, I should have prepared it. But what kind of theory is this? Why do you have to ask for marriage to do that?"

"My mother said that a man who thinks with his lower body before proposing is unreliable."

I drop mom!
Zhou Tiancheng is sweating in his heart!Dear future mother-in-law, this stick will kill many male compatriots in the world.He couldn't help but feel that Chu Yunling was extremely lucky to know a principled man like himself!
……

The domestic New Year's Day just passed, and the two of them had almost had enough fun, and there were only a few days left in Chu Yunling's vacation, so Zhou Tiancheng decided to go back to Germany to rest for a while.

As soon as his flight landed and walked out of the airport, Zhou Tiancheng restarted the machine, just when the phone rang.

Zhou Tiancheng picked it up and saw that it was a domestic number, but this number was unfamiliar to him
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Tiancheng picked it up anyway, maybe some domestic media would contact him for an interview.

After Zhou Tiancheng got connected, he deliberately didn't speak first, and a second later the voice from the opposite side rang first: "Hello, is this Zhou Tiancheng?"

"I am, who are you?" Zhou Tiancheng heard the middle-aged man's voice opposite, further confirming his guess.

"Hi Zhou Tiancheng, I'm Gao Hongbo." The other end of the phone answered directly.
