In the Galicia region in the northwest corner of Spain, there is a beautiful city A Coruña. On a peninsula that juts into the vast Atlantic Ocean, its people pride themselves on beautiful city beaches and a vibrant port.
The port in the east of the city has deep water, a large bay and a small mouth. It is a pure natural port. There are two hills at the exit of the port. There is a castle on each hill guarding the port, which is hidden and mysterious. Looking from the observation deck of the port, it seems to recall the glory of the Spanish Armada back then, and it also gave countless history enthusiasts an extra memory and respect for the Spanish fleet back then.
Opposite the port is Malu de la Marina. The characteristic houses on the marina all have glass balconies. This most easily identifiable feature has also earned it the reputation of "Glass City".
To the west of the city is a beautiful bay. In this city surrounded by the ocean, the beach has naturally become a major temptation. The busy docks and local characteristic buildings every day make the decoration here vivid.
To the north of the city is a lighthouse built during the ancient Roman period, the Tower of Hercules, which is the oldest lighthouse in the world.
The lighthouse is more than 40 meters high. It is the only large navigation lighthouse built by the ancient Romans that is still in use today. Although it has been battered by wind and rain for thousands of years, it still stands majestically on the seaside to guide passing ships. It is a symbol of the city, a must-see attraction for tourists here, and one of the Spanish national key protected cultural relics.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the sky was still bright, like it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Today Yun Sheng called several Chinese compatriots together and invited them all to have dinner together - a sumptuous seafood feast.
Commercial director Dong Ke, assistant coach Li Tie, first team players Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei and Cai Huikang, young players Wei Shihao and Yang Liyu.
The eight Chinese members of Deportivo Club are worthy of being called "Depor Chinatown".
Sitting in the terrace private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Yun Sheng looked at the lighthouse not far away with emotion. The breeze was gentle and calm.
“A Coruña is a beautiful city. I like the Santiago Church, the Romanesque streets, the San Carlos Garden, and the San Carlos Fortress. Those seaside houses with glass balconies are really pleasing to the eye. "
"But what I like most is this lighthouse - the Tower of Hercules. Every time I see it, I feel very peaceful. For those ships sailing on the sea, the lighthouse is a symbol of home and a touch of home. For me, I prefer the tranquility and protection of lighthouses. Sometimes I really want to abandon all worldly fame and wealth and become a lighthouse keeper, accompanying the sunrise and sunset every day, listening to the sound of music coming from far away. The sound of the whistle was approaching, the sea breeze was blowing quietly, and I looked at the sea."
Yun Sheng expressed his gratitude, while Zhang Linpeng waved his hands repeatedly: "Boss, don't go to the lighthouse. We are still waiting for you to work hard in La Liga and win another Champions League trophy with you!"
"You said the word 'Zai' so well and so enviously," Wu Lei looked envious. He turned to look at Cai Huikang beside him and was speechless. "Brother, don't just eat..."
At this time, Cai Huikang, who was next to him, had just picked up another thick crab leg: "I like this city so much. The seafood is cheap and delicious. It's so cool. I need to eat more to replenish my body, otherwise how can I compete with my opponent physically?" "
Looking at Cai Huikang's sturdy figure, Wei Shihao looked envious: "If I had a body like yours, I would never lose in a fight on the field!"
"You should learn a lot!" Yun Sheng said with a dark look on his face, "Not long after joining the team, you had a fight with your teammates in the youth team. Is that you?"
Wei Shihao smiled and said noncommittally: "I didn't fight, it was just a conflict on the court. We have reconciled."
Yun Sheng: "You injured someone with a shovel, and you probably have to rest for a week. Is this called 'confrontation and conflict'?"
Wei Shihao slapped his chest: "Playing football, injuries are not normal. Besides, I have already visited him, and I went there with a wheelchair and a fruit basket. You must be sincere."
Yun Sheng covered his head: "Stop talking, let me be quiet..."
Li Tie on the side quickly spoke to Yun Sheng: "Xiao Hao, you must pay attention in the future. In this kind of team training match, you must be careful. If you are facing the enemy, it doesn't matter if you strike harder, but if you are injured, It’s not good for your teammates.”
Wei Shihao nodded: "No problem! I will leave all the cruelty to my opponents from now on!"
"Tiezi, what's going on with you?" Yun Sheng was speechless.
Li Tie said with a smile: "Boss, in European football, we don't pay attention to our Chinese Confucianism. When facing opponents, you must go all out. If you are afraid of confrontation, just stop playing. I think Xiaohao is doing something wrong. It’s not a problem, as long as he pays attention to sportsmanship and doesn’t get cards for this kind of thing, that’s fine. A player who is timid when defending will definitely not be able to play in European football.”
Listening to Li Tie's words, Yun Sheng couldn't help but nod in agreement: "Yes, the football field is a battlefield in peaceful times. The purpose of playing football is not to make friends, but to win. I just came to La Liga from Serie A. I can understand this kind of thing, after all, Serie A’s defense is also very fierce.”
Hearing what Yun Sheng said, Wei Shihao became even more happy: "I'll just say it, the boss will definitely agree with me."
Yun Sheng: "I agree! It's okay to defend fiercely, but you must have sportsmanship and don't commit malicious fouls; and don't get cards for your recklessness. It's not easy for you to land in European football, but you get a red card as soon as you play. Isn’t it embarrassing to end up here?”
Li Tie: "Boss, are you sure you're not laughing at me..."
Yun Sheng patted Li Tie on the shoulder: "Tiezi, you are thinking too much. You are the kind of defensive midfielder with a brain. I didn't criticize you. What I criticize is the kind of defensive midfielder who only has brute force and can't play football." Brainless, reckless man who commits fouls all day long."
Cai Huikang couldn't eat anymore: "Boss, you must be talking about me..."
Zhang Linpeng patted his chest: "Of course! When it comes to defense, you all should learn from me!"
Yun Sheng: "You guys should have a good meal, we can't talk about this topic anymore..."
Yang Liyu on the side said very little. This 15-year-old young man is loyal and down-to-earth, hard-working, but not good at talking. At the dinner table, he listened quietly to everyone's speech, with a very peaceful expression. He was a typical Chinese otaku.
Even though Yang Liyu is two years younger than Wei Shihao, he is obviously more mature than Wei Shihao. Despite this, Yun Sheng still hopes that Yang Liyu can be more lively, that would be better.
For example, Wei Shihao had a bad temper and had conflicts with his teammates within two days of joining, but because of his carefree personality, he quickly became close to his young teammates in Europe and became brothers.
Yun Sheng arranged Yang Liyu and Wei Shihao to live in an apartment so that they could harmonize their personalities and learn from each other's strengths.
Looking at the five Chinese players in front of him, Yun Sheng felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
We have brought out a group of new stars from China. Let’s grow up quickly in Deportivo!
