Chapter 190 Happy Birthday
The final score of this game was 2-0, and Marseille was tied by Auxerre in the away game.
The penultimate round of the 2005/2006 Ligue 1 season. Lens was unexpectedly tied by Le Mans zero on the road.
Bordeaux beat Nantes ero away.
In this case, Marseille, which had just stayed in the second place in the league for a week, was squeezed out by Bordeaux. Now, Marseille ranks third in the league, one point behind Bordeaux.
And the biggest surprise in this round came from Lille's home game against Lyon. Lille beat the leader Lyon 4-0 at home.
Lyon has already won the championship ahead of schedule. They have achieved the feat of five consecutive league championships. In the current Ligue 1, this team is a giant. It is hard to imagine that such a Lyon team will lose 0-4 at the feet of Lille.
Lille beat Lyon at home, while Marseille was tied by Auxerre away, which also brought the Champions League qualification to a white-hot stage.
Now Bordeaux ranks second in the league, one point ahead of Marseille; Marseille ranks third in the league; while Lille ranks fourth in the league after defeating Lyon, two points behind Marseille; Lens ranks fifth in the league, three points behind Marseille.
Lens's threat to Marseille has been basically lifted. Marseille has an advantage in their mutual match results with Lens, and the goal difference is higher than Lens.
So. Marseille is currently only playing against two teams, Bordeaux and Lille. In the last round of the league, Marseille will challenge Bordeaux away. In this game, Marseille can only win the second place in the league. If they can't win, Marseille may even be overtaken by Lille and lose the Champions League.
※※※※※※※※※
Marseille must win Bordeaux away in the last round of the league. Even a draw is unacceptable. A season of hard work has now been decided in this game. This also made the Marseille team under great pressure, and the atmosphere in the locker room was also very depressing. Some loud guys did not dare to speak loudly. The atmosphere was really too depressing.
Zhang Yang was also annoyed by the atmosphere. Originally, he was very confident that he would win the second place in the league by winning Bordeaux away in the last game, but when he saw that the whole team looked like a big enemy and nervous, Zhang Yang was also a little anxious and confused.
He also realized that the mentality and atmosphere of the whole team is not good now, but there is nothing he can do. Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After this day's training, Zhang Yang took a hot bath.
"Hi, Zhang Yang." When Zhang Yang finished taking a shower, changed his clothes in the locker room and was about to leave, a club staffer pushed a small cart to stop him.
"Hi, Miller, what's the matter?" Zhang Yang looked at the staff member doubtfully.
"Your package, Zhang!" Miller smiled and pointed to the cart he was pushing.
"Uh--" Zhang Yang was shocked, my package? Are these all?" He pointed to the trolley.
Miller nodded.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, Zhang, I envy you so much." Nasri came out of the locker room and was about to leave. He watched the staff push the cart and find Zhang Yang. Gossip came up to see the situation.
"Hey hey." Zhang Yang smiled proudly. The number of packages and letters a player received from fans shows the popularity of the player to some extent. Obviously, there is only one Zhang Yang in the whole Marseille team, and there is no other branch.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miller." After Zhang Yang thanked him, he frowned. Now he is a little worried about how to get such a small cart package back by himself. Yes, he just got his driver's license and is going to buy a car, but he doesn't have a car now.
※※※※※※※※※
"Haha, I'll take you back." Nasri looked at the big package and smashed it with envy.
"Haha, Samir, thank you!" After Zhang Yang thanked him, he saw that Nasri was still there and made a sound. He was not polite at all, "Where's your car?"
Nasri rolled his eyes and went straight to the parking lot to drive his own car. Zhang Yang pushed the cart a few steps forward and turned around and asked the staff, "Miller, this cart?"
"Ah, just put it in the parking lot. I'll pick it up later."
"No problem, thank you." Zhang Yang waved goodbye to the staff and hummed a song to the exit of the parking lot. Because the depressed atmosphere inside the team made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I suddenly felt much better. Of course, he is happy to have so many fans sending gifts and letters.
※※※※※※※※※
After Zhang Yang was blackmailed for a big meal by Nasri, he carried the big package into his own apartment with Nasri, and then drove away Nasri, who wanted to see what was going on. He sat in the living room and began to sort out the contents of the big package.
More than half of these letters are from fans, and there are hundreds of letters.
Zhang Yang roughly estimated that most of them were sent by domestic fans. He looked at the addresses of the letters one by one happily, including Shandong, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Guangzhou, and so on. Almost all the fans all over the country had it. Of course, there were also letters from fans from his hometown.
With so many letters, after dinner, it took Zhang Yang two or three hours to read the letters, which made him feel more tired than training on the copy. However, although I'm a little tired, I'm happy. However, if it goes on like this, it is not a matter. If there are more and more letters in the future, it will take me half a day just to read the letters. This is not to mention some letters that need to reply in person.
Do you need to recruit an assistant? Zhang Yang tilted his head and thought. This idea really came to my mind. The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was necessary. It's just that he hesitated a little. Isn't this too ostentatious? Before he did anything, he recruited an assistant to help him do things.
After thinking about it, I decided to discuss it with Mendes for a while. Mr. 'Super Agent' should be better at such things and have better suggestions.
Some of the fans' letters from Zhang Yang's hearts were hot, and there was a feeling of fluttering. There was no her, just because the lines of these letters were too ambiguous, which was simply a show of love.
※※※※※※※※※
"Zhang Yang, I like you and I love you."
"Zhang Yang, everything I have is yours."
"Ah, I love you, love you."
"...Ah, Zhang Yang, your figure is simply amazing. Looking at the muscles full of explosive power, I'm almost tall. It's trendy! I said to myself, this is the man in my mind!"
Zhang Yang opened his mouth and smiled with satisfaction. I love you too, little girls.
"Zhang Yang, you are so MAN on the court. I want to be your girlfriend."
"Zhang, I can't be myself when I see your domineering heroic posture running on the court."
These letters are also accompanied by photos of fans, most of which are life photos, and there are three-point styles. These hotter fans are mostly French fans.
Zhang Yang's face is red and his neck is thick, and his breathing is a little short. What's more shameful is that it's hard somewhere. It is. He really wants to say to these enthusiastic fans. In fact, I'm not only very MAN on the court, but definitely more MAN off the court!
No, these fans are too enthusiastic.
At this time, Zhang Yang noticed something else. These were gifts sent by fans. One of the gifts attracted his attention. This was a big heart shape made of colored paper. After he opened it, what made him laugh and cried and laughed at was that there was a small Barbie doll inside. "Zhang Yang, Happy birthday, this is my favorite Barbie doll. Now I give it to you. Happy birthday to you. I hope you will like it, and I will feel that I am by your side and cheer for you.
Zhang Yang was stunned. He picked up the Barbie doll and rubbed the furry. He was a little moved. Thank you. I like it very much. I will cheer up.
His eyes turned red. Tomorrow is his birthday. If it hadn't been for the fan's birthday gift, he would have almost forgotten it. Just thinking about the game, he almost forgot his birthday.
This is the first fan to congratulate a happy birthday. But he was not the only fan who wished him a happy birthday. Later, he found more than a dozen gifts from fans, all of which sent him birthday wishes.
Zhang Yang was very happy and moved. Thinking that tomorrow was his birthday, Zhang Yang suddenly had a good idea.
※※※※※※※※※
The next day, at the end of the training, Zhang Yang announced something in the locker room.
"Today is my birthday. I'm going to hold a simple party. Now I'd like to invite all my teammates to get together tonight and have authentic Chinese food for you. I will cook a few dishes by myself, which is guaranteed to be praised by everyone. Zhang Yang clapped his hands and announced loudly that he called the owner of a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown last night and asked the boss for help. This was what Zhang Yang met when he went to Chinatown for dinner. At that time, he felt that the taste of the Chinese restaurant was very good. He went there several times, and also with the boss. He is familiar with it. What makes him happy is that the boss is still his fan.
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Ribery was the first to respond. He immediately shouted happily, "Haha, that's great. It's a treat. I like it the most."
Captain Dehu also responded enthusiastically, "Haha, let's go together and congratulate Zhang on a happy birthday." As the captain, Dehu thought this was a good opportunity to relieve the dull atmosphere of the team and relieve the huge pressure.
Zhang Yang said he wanted to treat, and this was Zhang Yang's birthday. Everyone also responded enthusiastically, "Zhang's treat? Then you must come!"
"Haha, I like Chinese food the most. I will definitely go."
"Happy birthday, Zhang." Louis congratulated.
"Haha, happy birthday."
"Happy birthday, Zhang."
Everyone sent their own blessings.
"People with female partners also bring it together, of course, and the children also bring it together. Haha." Zhang Yang was very happy with everyone's reaction, which showed that his teammates still gave him face. This is also what he thought yesterday. It happened to be his birthday. Then he held a small party, which could not only enhance the relationship with his teammates, but also relieve the depressing atmosphere of the whole team. The atmosphere was so solemn that he felt very uncomfortable.
※※※※※※※※※
"Coach, come here together?" At this time, Zhang Yang noticed that the head coach Fernandez did not know when to open the door and stood at the door of the locker room. He sent an invitation to the head coach.
Fernandez shook his head with a smile: "I won't go. With me, you can't have fun. Zhang Yang, happy birthday to you. He also knows that under such circumstances, the head coach really makes the players uninable. However, Fernandez is very happy about Zhang Yang's birthday party. Undoubtedly, this birthday party came at the right time. Of course, Fernandez knew the tense atmosphere of the team, but he did not have a good way to relieve the pressure of the team. And now the public birthday party gives everyone time and opportunity to relax and communicate. It helps the whole team to relax the tension.
Zhang Yang just asked Fernandes out of courtesy. Although Fernandez is his mentor, if the head coach is really present, he really can't have a good time. Hey hey.
"Thank you all. Haha." Zhang Yang said happily, and then he said the address of the banquet, which was the Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Today, the restaurant was closed, and Zhang Yang wrapped the whole restaurant. Of course, this is thanks to the cooperation of the restaurant owner. The boss was very happy to learn that Zhang Yang was going to hold a birthday party in his restaurant. He was a fan of Zhang Yang. In addition, of course, he also knew that this was a good opportunity to promote his restaurant. The boss has been unwilling to collect money and said that he would afford the party for free. Of course, Zhang Yang disagreed. Although he is not a top star now, his salary is also a lot, and he still has this money.
※※※※※※※※※
In the end, he couldn't resist the restaurant owner. Zhang Yang accepted the boss's free order. However, Zhang Yang was also interesting enough. He took the initiative to put forward his own 'small request', that is, the whole Marseille team took a group photo in the restaurant and allowed the boss to hang up the group photo.
Zhang Yang took the initiative to bring up this matter, which also made the restaurant owner very happy. This is exactly what he wanted. Originally, he was satisfied if he only wanted to have a group photo of Zhang Yang in the restaurant. Now, it is so happy to have a group photo of the stars of the Marseille team. This is a big thing that can't be met.
The restaurant owner was very happy. He especially found several chefs in the restaurant and asked them to show all their skills today. They must make this birthday party beautiful, but they can't drop the chain.
Zhang Yang is very interesting, and he naturally wants to try to do better.
※※※※※※※※※
Knowing that today is Zhang Yang's birthday, the official website of Marseille also sent birthday wishes to Zhang Yang. It was their mistake before. They didn't pay attention to the birthday of the team's top scorer. Now, now that they know, of course they have to say something.
Knowing that today is Zhang Yang's birthday, Marseille fans have sent their blessings to Zhang Yang in the forum, the official website of the fans and the official website of the club. Zhang Yang's current popularity is very popular in Marseille. Fans have regarded him as the most important member of Marseille's glory and the future of Marseille.
After informing the news of the team's birthday party, Zhang Yang greeted his teammates and left the training ground. He was about to get busy preparing for the birthday party in the evening.
Zhang Yang didn't have a car yet. He took Nasri to be a driver, and Louis and Yahioi also followed him to help. As for Ribery, he went home first. He said he would change his clothes and attend with his wife Vashiba.
The other players also hurried home. Zhang Yang's birthday party was announced a little late. Some of them had been arranged, but now they can only temporarily change their plans to attend Zhang Yang's birthday party. In fact, Zhang Yang can't be blamed. The boy almost forgot his birthday at all.
Everyone must attend Zhang Yang's birthday party. This has been 'upgraded' into a group activity of the team. No one will be absent, and it is also a good opportunity to get in touch with his wife and children.
※※※※※※※※※
The news of Zhang Yang's birthday party was soon learned by media reporters. I had to admire the sensitive sense of smell of these paparazzi. The news Zhang Yang had just announced, and the media knew it 20 minutes later. Moreover, they also got the most accurate news and knew that Zhang Yang's birthday party was held in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
Zhang Yang went home first. On the way, he also received a phone call from home. Listening to the birthday wishes from his family, Zhang Yang was very happy. Suddenly, his nose was a little sore and he was a little homesick.
When they got home and took a few things, Zhang Yang and they rushed to the Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. When they got there, they found that the media reporters had surrounded the Chinese restaurant. They are here waiting for the arrival of the stars in Marseille.
The owner of the Chinese restaurant stood at the door and looked at so many reporters. He was so happy that he couldn't imagine this situation. What he can be sure of now is that his Chinese restaurant has appeared.
The boss is full of red face. Since his father's generation, this Chinese restaurant has existed. So far, it has been 30 or 40 years. However, this Chinese restaurant has never been so popular. This made him a little excited and touched. The boss is a filial son. After finishing his work tonight, he must give his father a pillar incense and tell him that this restaurant he started from nothing and worked hard to open all his life. How beautiful it is today, which makes him happy.
※※※※※※※※※
The boss's surname is Yang, ranking fifth among his cousins. Everyone calls him the fifth uncle.
The fifth uncle was very thoughtful. Zhang Yang wandered alone in Marseilles without any other relatives. Since the young man chose to hold a birthday party in his own restaurant, the restaurant is Zhang Yang's home. All aspects should be fully considered.
Zhang Yang, Nasri and others arrived, and the flashlight was a masterpiece.
After Zhang Yang simply dealt with the reporters' interviews, the fifth uncle found Zhang Yang. He took out a red Tang suit and asked Zhang Yang to change it.
"Xiao Yang, go, change it."
Looking at this brand-new Tang suit, Zhang Yang's nose was a little sore. He took it and nodded hard. He doesn't wear Tang clothes at home, but Zhang Yang knows that in foreign countries, these overseas Chinese are more formal than at home. When encountering festive things, it is necessary to wear Tang clothes.
"Oh, fifth uncle, I'll change it."
For a while, Zhang Yang appeared in front of everyone in a red festive Tang suit, which immediately attracted the attention of media reporters and flashed. The first time they saw the oriental dress of Marseille's top shooter, the reporters were very excited.
