On the afternoon of December 24, England.
In a villa area in the suburbs of London, the villa in the middle has the best location. Four young Chinese people in the house are chatting.
Just after entering the house, Yu Hai looked around in the living room, while Dong Fangzhuo walked upstairs twice and then walked downstairs.
"Brother, you can do it! I have been in London for just a few years and I can already afford such a big house." Dong Fangzhuo sat down on the sofa and nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, the sofa is also very soft."
Sitting opposite him was Wang Chuhe. Wang Chuhe said with a smile: "Brother Dong, this is the Arsenal captain's home. It's normal for it to be luxurious."
Chen Tao took out a few bottles of pure water from the refrigerator and threw them to Dong Fangzhuo and others: "Drink water, stop talking nonsense."
Dong Fangzhuo frowned: "Is there no juice?"
"The professor won't let me." Chen Tao sat next to Wang Chuhe, opened the water bottle, and drank it all in one gulp.
Yu Hai and Dong Fangzhuo sat across from each other, and the four of them chatted.
"Captain Arsenal, where are you going to treat us to a big dinner tonight?"
"How about we make dumplings at home, which will create a more festive atmosphere!"
"Stop talking! I really don't want to eat dumplings!"
"What do you mean? After staying in Europe for a few days, you already look down on Chinese food? Have you forgotten your roots!"
"That's not what I mean! I mean, I get a headache when I hear about eating dumplings during festivals. In our family, no matter New Year, New Year's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival... as long as it is a festival, my mother will eat dumplings! Ever since I was a child, The last thing I can’t listen to during the holidays now is dumplings…”
"Hahahaha! It's the same in our family, dumplings are everything."
Several young people laughed and chatted happily.
Being away from home and playing football in Europe, although he can afford a mansion and a car like Chen Tao, his homesickness cannot be compensated.
Yu Hai leaned on the sofa, his tiredness had not yet subsided: "I finished playing the game yesterday and was very tired. I drove nearly three hours one morning to get to London. Dong Zhuo and I won't be coming next year. , let you two come to Manchester."
Chen Tao waved his hand: "Forget it, you should come to my place. My place is big and easy to work around."
Dong Fangzhuo's eyes lit up: "What are you doing? Have you prepared any special program tonight? Will many people come?"
"What are you thinking about? You scum!" Chen Tao threw the empty bottle in his hand at Dong Fangzhuo, "You are a bad boy! I will tell the boss later and let him deal with you!"
"I'm just joking, don't be so ungrateful." Dong Fangzhuo muttered, "Besides, according to your Arsenal tradition, you are now the captain. It's not sure whether we can still gather in London next year. Maybe Then Chu He will come to Manchester alone to spend Christmas Eve with us."
"Nonsense! Starting from me, the history of Arsenal's captaincy team officially begins!"
"Vieira, Cesc Fabregas and Van Persie all said this back then, they were ambitious."
"Dong Zhuo! If you say that again, I will strangle you to death!"
Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo, the best friends, really love and kill each other.
At this time, Yu Hai stood up, let the two of them play with the sofa, and then sat next to Wang Chuhe opposite.
"Chu He, although you have not been in the Premier League for a long time, you have integrated into the team faster than any of us. You have now become the absolute core of Arsenal's midfield. Chen Tao is the core of Arsenal's offense and spiritual leader. , you are Arsenal’s anchor and the calmest person in Arsenal.”
"Brother Hai, you've done me a favor. I still have a lot to learn from you."
"We have all grown up in the past few years, and the results of the national team are getting better and better. In the 2011 Asian Cup, when our group was eliminated, I still can't believe that scene."
"Well, at that time, many of our overseas players were injured. Brother Hai, you didn't participate. There were also Brother Dahai, Brother San, and Brother Xiang. Many of them were injured and couldn't participate. I was also injured. I was here, but after half the first game, I couldn’t hold on and ended up..."
"But after all, Chen Tao and Dong Zhuo were all here, as well as Brother Zhi and Dabao, who all participated, but in the end we still failed to go further in the Asian Cup."
Seeing Yu Hai's extremely regretful expression, Wang Chuhe felt a little sad.
The 2011 European Cup is a big event at the beginning of the year, so people are looking forward to the outstanding performance of this group of Chinese players.
But in the end, they had one win, one draw and one loss in the group stage, and were helplessly eliminated. Even with many overseas players, the national team still performed poorly.
Wang Chuhe said consolingly: "Brother Hai, although we did not play well in the 2011 Asian Cup, we still performed very well in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. You, Brother Dong, Brother Chen, and me, we all have He scored a goal and had an assist, and he already qualified one round early, which is good.”
Yu Hai nodded: "Yes, this time is not bad. We have entered the top ten. But to be fair, I think with the current situation of the Chinese national team, even if it enters the top ten, it wants to go further and compete in the World Cup again. , the difficulty is still very high. Especially in certain positions, we still appear to be particularly unbalanced."
Hearing Yu Hai and Wang Chuhe talking about the national football team, Chen Tao and Dong Fangzhuo stopped making trouble and started discussing together.
Dong Fangzhuo patted his chest: "There is absolutely no problem with the forward line of the national football team now! Me, Dabao, Gao Lin, and Han Peng, the total number of goals scored by our four forwards is among the best in the qualifiers! The Chinese team relies on the forward line to thrive!"
Chen Tao snorted disdainfully: "Stop talking nonsense, are you embarrassed to brag about the strength of the striker in front of the three midfielders? Didn't you read on the news that the current midfielder of the Chinese national team is the top midfielder in Asia? Field configuration! Brother Zhi is the core of AC Milan's midfield, Xiao Hai is the main full-back of Manchester United, Chu He and I are the dual core of Arsenal, and there are Brother Jiayi, Brother Three, and Brother Haibing in the Bundesliga, not to mention Xiao Hai. Deng, Xiao Wu and Xiao Sun are gone, and they can only play as substitutes. China’s midfield configuration is not far behind even when compared with European teams!"
Yu Hai put down the water glass and sighed softly: "But the current defensive situation of the Huaguo team is not very good. The defense is short of major generals, and the goalkeeper position is an absolute weakness. I don't know when Zeng Cheng and Wang Dalei will If they can play in the first-team games, when will they be able to get tougher?"
Speaking of the goalkeeper, Chen Tao suddenly talked about another person: "I called that little brother a few days ago. I wanted to invite him to come to London to spend Christmas Eve together, but he politely declined."
Wang Chuhe shook his head: "It's a bit of a pity, but it's understandable. The Premier League has a Christmas Devil Stadium, and the English Championship has more intensive games. Their club is too far away from London, otherwise I really want to meet him and have a good chat. After all, he is the boss. A very promising talented goalkeeper..."
