Chapter 134 Warm-up Match
Don Jack's life is as calm as ever. In Liverpool, he doesn't have many fans and not many reporters who are interested in him. His life is very calm. In addition to training, he goes home, and he also has a very leisurely life.
Maybe it's three o'clock and Jack Don fell in love with a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
Liverpool also has 'Chinatown'. Of course, the name of the street is not this, but it is not much different. There are many Chinese restaurants here, and there are also many oriental snacks. There are also many Chinese descendants living around. Liverpool people call this 'Chinese humanitarian'.
The Chinese is about five kilometers away from the west side of Liverpool Club, which is a little far away, but Jack Tang will go there for dinner every night these days. It is a Sichuan restaurant. The owner is a pure Sichuaner. Jack Tang calls him 'Lao Wang' with the flow, and the children call him Uncle Wang.
Lao Wang is in his forties. When he was in his twenties, he came to England with his wife. His father opened a Chinese restaurant. After Lao Wang quit his job, he inherited the restaurant.
The area of the restaurant is not large, that is, a small restaurant of more than 50 square meters, but it tastes very good. Many Chinese people around here like to come here to eat, and some English people also like to come here to drink beer. It is very lively at night.
Lao Wang is very enthusiastic, especially to the Chinese.
I remember that when Jack Tang first came, Lao Wang looked at his face and asked enthusiastically in English, "Young man, is this your first time here?"
"Ye-huh." Don Jack nodded and said, "Your food here tastes very good." He speaks Chinese, and English is only easy to understand now.
"As long as you like it. You speak Chinese so well. I haven't heard such Chinese for a long time.
"Ha ha." Jack Tang smiled and said, "I'm a standard Chinese."
"Are you here for a business trip to Liverpool? When are you going to leave?
"No, no, I will always be here."
"When did you come here?" Lao Wang is very confused. Because Chinese is so authentic, they are often people who have lived in China for a long time. So coming to Liverpool must be business or tourism. How can he be here for a long time?
"Ten days ago. I work around here." Don Jack didn't explain his job. He didn't want too many people to know. After all, professional players are also stars. This kind of job is not very good.
"Young man, eat more if you like. I'll greet other guests." Although Lao Wang was very confused about this strange boy, he still greeted him warmly.
This is the situation when we first met.
But Jack Don came every day, and Lao Wang gradually became familiar with him. However, a few days later, Lao Wang still didn't know what Jack Tang did, but looking at this young boy's clothes, he was by no means a bad guy. He was very enthusiastic every time.
But the paper can't keep the fire...
Once or twice, it was not surprising that no one recognized Jack Don. In Liverpool, his reputation was really not very loud, but five days later, Jack Don was recognized by other guests. It was a little Chinese boy.
Shen Yang is only 12 years old this year and has been living in Liverpool with his parents.
His parents work nearby, and his family has been living here. Shen Yang has lived nearby since he was a child and went to Liverpool Hall Public Primary School.
Like other English children nearby, Shen Yang has liked football very much since he was a child. His skill level is not very good, but he likes it. Playing football is a pleasure for children. Similarly, influenced by popular factors, he is also a pure Liverpool fan.
This season, Liverpool has had very little personnel transfer. In addition to selling a lot of players, only Jack Don and Cise really transferred. Shen Yang noticed Jack Don, because this star and himself are both Chinese descendants, and they are also black-haired and yellow-skinned. In fact, because of this, Shen Yang is often a partner. He laughed, but he was always proud of it and always wanted to prove that his cousin bought a poster of Don Jack from Germany and hung it in front of the bed.
"I will definitely be as powerful as him..." Since Don Jack's transfer to Liverpool, Shen Yang has been thinking about this sentence, and he has worked harder in football training.
This night, he and his parents came out for dinner and came to Lao Wang's restaurant. It seemed that Shen Yang subconsciously looked to the left and saw a short-haired big brother sitting there. But why is he so familiar with that?
Jack!
"My God, it's Jack!"
Under the surprised eyes of his parents, Shen Yang ran directly from his seat and shouted Jack Tang's name. Jack Tang looked at him in surprise and saw a very cute little boy running towards him.
The little boy stood in front of him with an excited face, pointed to himself and said, "Are you Jack? Jack? Oh, my God! It must be." With that, the little boy took out a small photo from his arms, looked at the people in the photo, looked at himself, and affirmed, "Jack Lee! You must be Jack, it can't be wrong! Jack... Oh, my God! I actually met Jack! Uncle Jack..." He seemed to be excited to say bad things.
Jack Don looked up at the photo and saw that it was a photo of all the Liverpool players the day before yesterday. He stood the second one on the left side of the front row, next to Cise.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Well, little guy, you're right. Don't be so excited."
"Oh~~~ Oh, my God! You are really Jack, Jack, sign me!" With that, Shen Yang took out paper and pen from his arms. It seemed that the little guy was well prepared. At this time, his parents also came over and looked at Jack Tang. The man said awkwardly, "Sir, I'm really sorry to bother you, Jack, what are you doing!"
Shen Yang, who was reprimanded, was still excited. He pointed to Jack Tang and said, "Oh, Dad! He is Jack!"
"Who is Jack?" Shen Yang's mother looked puzzled.
"God! You should be loaded into a spaceship to transform your brains, even Jack! He is the new star introduced by Liverpool this year, but he is my first idol!" The idol was right in front of him, but Shen Yang didn't feel it at all. In his teenager's heart, he seemed to completely regard Jack Tang as an alien.
"Jack? Is that the football star you hung in front of the bed?" At this time, Shen Yang's father realized it. They looked at Jack Don in a blankly and asked, "You are Jack Don. Li, are you also Chinese?"
Don Jack was embarrassed and said, "I think, yes." It's really embarrassing. It seems that I don't exist at all in front of these three people.
Soon, he became even more embarrassed. Many people who heard the voice gathered around, especially a few of the Englishmen. They were all Liverpool fans. Of course, they had an impression of Don Jack. However, in the eyes of Europeans, the appearance of the Chinese is actually not much different. When it comes to the Chinese people, then There are many Chinese people, even if they feel a little similar, they dare not recognize it.
But now, someone recognized it in advance, and they immediately gathered around. Soon Shen Yang's family was squeezed into the back. Fortunately, there were only three or four people, otherwise Shen Yang might not be able to see Jack Tang.
"Jack, it's really you. I didn't expect to see you here. Do you often come here for dinner?"
"Can you sign my name?"
"Work hard, Jack! I believe you can surpass Owen. Very kind fans.
Hearing the words of the three people, Don Jack was also very satisfied. These three fans are not like those fanatical fans. When it comes to Owen and himself, they directly stand on Owen's side. This kind of fan Jack Tang still likes it. After all, before he has done anything, the fans think he can't do it. In such a situation, what can he do? I don't care, but I must have some ideas.
So, Jack Tang first signed a name for Shen Yang, then signed a name for several other people, and then took a photo with everyone.
From this day on, Lao Wang really got to know Jack Don.
Every night, Jack Don will come here for dinner. Many people nearby heard that Liverpool's 'Chinese star' came here, and they also came to Lao Wang for dinner. In just a few days, Lao Wang's business was extremely hot. He was so annoyed that he had to hire another employee, otherwise he would definitely be too busy.
Every day, Lao Wang still kept Jack Don's position and entertained him warmly. It felt like an elder's concern for the younger generation, and the conversation between the two was the same. Here, Jack Tang felt very warm.
However, this kind of leisure life passed quickly.
※※※
On the sixth day of the official start of training, Liverpool entered a tight pre-match preparation. The whole team flew to the United States, where they will play against two teams, Roma and Celtic, and play two friendly matches, which is also a propaganda training match for the United States.
The day after arrival, it was a match between Liverpool and the Celtics.
This is a preparatory activity before the start of the Premier League.
Because I began to publicize these three training games more than a month ago, although football is not popular in the United States, there are still many American fans. It is slightly estimated that there are about 20,000 fans, and more of them are not fans. They just want to watch the fun. After all, it is a well-known club in Europe. Maybe the confrontation between the music departments is interesting?
