The Ball at Your Feet

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

Ajaccio is not a big club with limited funds. Therefore, it is impossible to arrange any particularly good mansions for the players. But because Ajaccio has become a tradition on loaning players, they also have arrangements for this. The place 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 luxury houses now. Although the small hotel here is not particularly luxurious, it is in a good location. This hotel is built on the seashore. In addition to the hotel being the beach, the sound of the sea tide on the beach can be heard in the house. Such an environment has made him very satisfied.

"It's a kid, what's so exciting to hear about the sound of the waves." Although he complained that Zhao Yaning had never seen the world, Cordia was still very happy that Zhao Yaning was able to calm down in such an environment. Ajaccio is not a big city in the first place. The team also deliberately set the player’s place of residence in the suburbs. The closest urban facilities to this hotel include football fields, entertainment venues, good restaurants, and the airport. Signia’s tourist attractions are far away from here. From the bustling Paris to Ajaccio, and still living in such a place far 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 Zhao Yaning was settled down, Cordia left. For Zhao Yaning, all he needs to do is to go to the team for training tomorrow, but for some other documents and contracts, Cordia has to be handed over to the team. However, before leaving, he did not forget to tell Zhao Yaning, "Your hotel is a two-person house, and you will still have a roommate. Remember that your teammates have handled the relationship. If there is anything he can't stand you, just Call me and don't solve it by 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 period, Zhao Yaning also has time to clean up the house.

The owner of the house does not seem to be a neat person. The jerseys hanging in the house and the smelly 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 had been occupied by his roommate, and didn't want to care about other things.

After a while, he heard voices from the hotel.

"Today you played so stinky..."

Although there was a strange accent in French, it was not enough to make Zhao Yaning unintelligible. And following these words, a big man opened the door and walked into the room.

"You are... you are the new teammate, right?"

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

The person here is familiar, and before Zhao Yaning can react, it is just a word. He also had an accent in his words, and Zhao Yaning was also half-hearted, but when he saw that the other party was not malicious, he nodded the answerer.

This is a tall white player-he is actually not much taller than Zhao Yaning when he is tall, but his muscles look strong enough to be two laps bigger than Zhao Yaning. Although he talks a lot of nonsense, he is far from old enough to be said to be old. On the contrary, his age seems to be around twenty years old.

I can see that this is a very talkative person. I have been talking a lot, only to find that Zhao Yaning didn't say anything at all, "What's wrong? I'm wrong? Why are you so restrictive? Don't worry, all the residents here are rented by outside teams. Yes, no one knows who scolded the team twice in private."

Zhao Yaning smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm not restrained, but you speak too fast, I can't get in the mouth."

The big man nodded when he heard what he said, "You just came to France. It's normal not to understand authentic French. I know a lot of players from Africa, who speak French in a mess. They think that they are French. , I give them language lessons every time. Don’t worry, although your French is not very authentic, but it’s much better than some nonsense guys. After my teaching, it’s absolutely impossible to communicate with your teammates. Question, study with me for a month, and promise you will be used for life..."

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

"Me? Squelach! Sebastian Squelach. Like you, I came here on loan. I came from Toulon's youth training. Now I am a player from Monaco and I am here on loan. It's been a year, and there is still a year on loan. I play as a defender, a central defender. You can read my name? Squelach—Italian name, I am an Italian immigrant, I think this is also my defensive talent origin of……"

"Zhao Yaning, Chinese, played as a winger."

Zhao Yaning couldn't help but interrupted him again.

"Zhao Yaning..." Squelach imitated it again, or shook his head, "Just say, according to your language pronunciation habits, should I call you Zhao or Ning?"

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised. He thought that foreigners didn't understand the arrangement of Chinese names. However, these are indeed deficiencies that he understands. In addition to China, there are many places in Africa that have last names first and last names. There are many Africans in France. Therefore, everyone knows how to arrange the names.

"You can call me Zhao."

Squelach murmured for a while before he laughed, "Zhao, should I be nicknamed joy? Then I will call you Joey from now on, you can call me Sebastian from now on, then we It is considered to know each other."

Where does the surname have a nickname? Zhao Yaning just wanted to refute, so he held back. He knew that the tongues of these guys who were accustomed to French couldn't make the pronunciation of Chinese accurately, and it was useless to correct them. And it's just a code name. The Brazilians still have their nickname printed on their jerseys, so you have the right to assume that you have an English name.

"You play as a winger? Why do you want to come to France as a winger? France does not have a winger. Our French midfield and defense are world-class, and the forwards are also numbered in the world, but the wingers are not our strengths. If you are If you play on the wing, you should go to the Iberian Peninsula or the island country across the sea, where the wingers run rampant..."

Squelach was still talking endlessly, this time Zhao Yaning was too embarrassed to interrupt him all the time, so he let him go on.

"Well, now that I say this, it may be a bit embarrassing to ask this, but I think I should say in advance: What is your belief? I am a Catholic. If you believe in Islam, then you can declare to change the room with the team... …" After talking for a long time, maybe seeing Zhao Yaning still talking, Squelach began to tell the real big things.

"I am not religious, I am an atheist."

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

This answer made Squelach's mouth wide open in surprise, and he spoke for a long time, "By the way, I've heard that you are Chinese..."

"Sebas, don't say anything that shouldn't be said." Zhao Yaning changed his face this time.

"Understand, understand. You guys are all good boys with patriotic sentiments, and you absolutely can't tolerate other people insulting the motherland. Don't worry, since I can accommodate Cameroonian teammates, I can't help but laugh at Cameroon's kind of thing. The incomprehensible noise of self-proclaimed music can hold back from commenting on your country...but I praise Chinese food, don’t you object? Sometimes I like to eat Chinese food, if I have to hold back my meal, I can’t comment. It's so sad."

Zhao Yaning could only nod his head to answer this small request. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

"Atheist? This is surprising. I haven't seen a few atheists. But you can tell me what you said. Although I am a believer, I have an attitude towards God, that is to say, worship, pray, these Things are not very observant to me. But here is the world of Algarians. Those guys are not atheists. If you talk nonsense, be careful that you are unlucky."

Zhao Yaning nodded quickly, this is useful information.

"Furthermore, let's live together. Regarding the issue of eating, bringing the woman back for the night, and the ownership of the wall inside the house, we have to discuss it carefully. Let me first say that I have booked the wall at the head of the bed. I’m going to post my poster here—I’m going to have my own poster this season."

Zhao Yaning nodded again.

"Very well, you are a good brother. I like your character." Squelach happily clapped his hands. "It may not work today. It is too late. Everyone may have arrangements. Tomorrow, Let's go into the city, find a place to spend the night wherever we go, and I will treat you."

"No need, I..."

"This is a tradition. The tradition should be followed." Squelach waved his hand to stop him, "I have been playing here for a year, and I am your eldest brother. If you have something, you can naturally ask me for help. It’s our tradition to welcome newcomers. If you play here for a long time, you have to learn this. Maybe next year, you should welcome others."

Zhao Yaning couldn't say anything, so he nodded again.

"Okay, there is a reason to go out and have a good time tomorrow... Joey, is there anything else? Do you need me to do something for you? Say it, I will do it for you."

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