Follow the team to go on an expedition

  Remember in one second

  。

  Inside a house on Chinatown, beneath the Westernized exterior, the decor reveals a strong Chinese flavor. A redwood sofa, a marble dining table, and a carved Chinese screen are complemented by bottles of Maotai and Wuliangye on the wine cabinet. On the tea table, a Qinghua porcelain vase holds a delicate orchid. All this indicates that this is a family who loves China, or rather, a Chinese family.

  Wu Yu and Gao Wei curiously looked around at all the decorations in the house, just like a child who had never seen a Ferris wheel before, suddenly appearing in an amusement park. They did not expect that in a foreign land, there would be such a strong Chinese-style building, which was really astonishing.

  "How's that? My home isn't bad, is it?" The spicy girl teacher poured a cup of tea for each of them and said with a smile.

  Gao Wei saw the beautiful teacher with a fiery temper, but at this moment she revealed a gentle smile, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. When he took over the tea, his hands were also slightly trembling, fearing that she would suddenly turn hostile again.

  "Your home decoration is very Chinese-style, are all the Chinese families here decorated like this?" Wu Yu looked around curiously and said.

  "Not just that, only our family is like this. My dad helped me change my name to Hua Yan, do you know what it means?" The spicy girl teacher looked at Wu Yu with a profound meaning and smiled.

  Wu Yu looked at Hua Yan with difficulty, shook his head and closed his mouth. Kicking the ball was fine, but guessing riddles was something he didn't understand at all. Gao Wei, on the other hand, continued to look at Hua Yan with a flattering expression, not daring to make a sound.

  "I'll tell you." A middle-aged man's voice came from the kitchen, a slightly stout, slightly balding middle-aged man with a smile all over his face, holding two dishes, walked out of the kitchen. He beckoned to Wu Yu and Gao Wei: "Come on, eat while we talk."

  Behind the obese man, a still charming middle-aged woman also walked out with two dishes in her hands and a smile on her face. This was Huá Yàn's father and mother. Wú Yù looked at the middle-aged fat man with a full smile, very surprised that the elegant and still charming Huá Tài had fallen in love with him when she was young, and how she gave birth to such a beautiful girl like Huá Yàn. This question became an unsolved mystery in Wu Yu's heart afterwards.

  Hua Yan's father is Hua Bin, and her mother is Xue Bingyi. The two have been living in Portugal since they were young. Under some inexplicable magic, Xue Bingyi married the unprepossessing Hua Bin and gave birth to their only daughter, Hua Yan.

  Wu Yu and Gao Wei looked at the several dishes that were full of color, fragrance, and flavor, smelling the tempting aroma wafting out. Their stomachs had been growling with hunger for a while, but as they were teased by the aroma of these home-cooked stir-fries, their mouths began to water.

  。

  Hua Yan's parents warmly invited the two to sit down and eat, they had saved their daughter and it was rare to meet compatriots in a foreign land, so they were naturally treated with enthusiasm. They were already tired of the club's special menu, now there was such an authentic hometown stir-fry, plus Hua Bin was also from Guangdong, knowing the two people's tastes, making them praise without stopping.

  During dinner, they naturally talked about the origin of Hua Yan's name. Hua Bin said with a smile:

  "The Chinese geese are just the great geese of China, they're just flying west for now, but sooner or later they'll return."

  "Oh... so it was that profound." The two suddenly realized.

  "Uncle Hua, you have the surname Hua, what's your relationship with Hero Hua?" Gao Wei asked with a silly expression.

  "How can there be a relationship? Hua Yingxiong is just a newly emerged figure." Wu Yu didn't wait for Hua Bin to answer and immediately interrupted Gao Wei.

  "That's not true, our family is indeed a descendant of Hua Yong."

  "Really?"

  "In those years of heroic youth in Guangdong..."

  "Wait a minute, we're just kicking a ball around, how can this have a cinematic feel?"

  "Hehe..."

  ……

  From accidentally saving Hua Yan, Wu Yu and Gao Wei finally recognized their first friend in Portugal. From then on, they often went to Hua Yan's home for dinner, improving their diet a bit. Hua Bin knew that Wu Yu and Gao Wei were professional athletes, so when they came over, the dishes he prepared were relatively healthy, and since Cantonese cuisine is mainly light-tasting, it didn't arouse the suspicion of Maritimo's team doctor.

  Knowing the Huayan family, it's actually added some color to the dull life of Liang Yu and Ouyang, but they still haven't found an opportunity to stage their professional debut.

  Marítimo's performance in September also improved, with one win and one draw in two league games. After four rounds, they had one win, two draws and one loss, with 5 points, ranking eighth among the sixteen teams, exactly in mid-table position. This is an acceptable position for Marítimo, who finished tenth last season.

  However, their arch-rivals Nacional da Madeira finished with two wins, one draw and one loss, overtaking Marítimo to finish fourth, just behind the top three of Primeira Liga, which left Marítimo fans quite unhappy.

  What's even more worrying is that in these two rounds of matches, Maritimo has achieved a good record of one win and one draw, but the cost paid is heavy. Midfielder Joao Ruiz was injured in the third round and needs to rest for a month; while in the previous round, 22-year-old Suárez, who replaced Ruiz's position, was sent off due to a reckless foul and will be suspended for the next match.

  And this week, with the start of the Portuguese League Cup, Marítimo will face a tough double match in one week. This is a severe test for the already weak midfield of the team.

  In the next round of matches, they will travel to Lisbon to challenge Sporting CP, one of the top three teams in the Portuguese Super League!

  On Friday's training ground, head coach Martins stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back, watching the players train with a furrowed brow, clearly thinking about the lineup for the next game. His gaze fell on a yellow-skinned boy wearing a white vest who was fighting hard to grab the ball in the middle of the field.

  Wu Yu wore a substitute vest, focusing on the group confrontation. After more than a month of training, he has fully adapted to the team's training rhythm, and with the effect of physical special training, his performance in training is getting better and better. After knowing Hua Yan, Wu Yu's Portuguese with Gao Wei also made rapid progress, although he couldn't communicate smoothly with his teammates, but some on-field calls were still no problem.

  Watching Wu Yu's serious expression during training, Martens nodded slightly in his eyes, holding a pen and writing something on the notebook. The originally furrowed eyebrows also relaxed slightly.

  Half an hour later, the training ended, and Wu Yu and two others had to stay for special physical training. Until dusk, the three walked shoulder to shoulder into the locker room, still chatting and gesturing with their hands. After learning Portuguese, Wu Yu and the other two finally knew that the correct Chinese translation of "Dickao" was actually a local born and raised in Madeira Island, who had entered Maritimo since childhood, and his talent was not inferior to Wu Yu's at all. He was also 18 years old, but slightly thinner than Wu Yu.

  "Wu Yu, Gao Wei, the big name list for the next game is out, want to take a look?" Dick Oman Liang said excitedly.

  Wu Yus barely able to understand what he was saying, his eyes flickered slightly and then subsided. He had already experienced four times the day of the team's big name list announcement, after the first special expectation but missed selection, he knew that he had not yet reached the requirements for entering the game's big name list, so in the next few times although there was some expectation, being eliminated again was still treated with a normal heart. He knew that he could only move the coach by training harder.

  。

  Gao Wei, however, was different from Wu Yu. This guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind would get extremely excited every time the big name list came out, and he would rush to go with Dick O'Connell, but each time he would come back in high spirits only to return in low spirits. The advantage of having a simple mind was that several times being left out did not crush Gao Wei's confidence, instead it made him more motivated, and during training he was even more energetic than Wu Yu.

  Seeing Wu Yu's calm expression, Gao Wei and Di Ke knew that Wu Yu would not follow them this time either. The two of them walked hand in hand towards the team's bulletin board. Wu Yu calmly walked towards the shower room to find his own soap.

  Humming Beyond's "Sea of Tranquility", squeezing out shampoo, massaging it into my medium-length hair. After every day's training, under the warm water in the bathroom, humming a little tune, seems to be able to wash away the fatigue accumulated from a day's training.

  "In! In! Xiao Yu, in! In!" Gao Wei's voice, like a copper gong, suddenly came from outside the bathroom door.

  "What's gotten into you? Do you think you're Liu Jianhong?" Wu Yu heard Gao Wei's voice and his heart skipped a beat, but he still didn't forget to joke around.

  "Not... it's not that, you're on the big list!" Gao Wei pushed open the bathroom door with a loud bang, his hands on his knees, panting heavily as he spoke.

  Wu Yu was rubbing soap on his body at this time, and suddenly heard Gao Wei say that, he could no longer be calm, and a look of excitement appeared on his face. Although he tried to cover it up, the bulging veins in his hand still revealed his inner excitement at this moment.

  Squeak...

  Because of excitement, Wu Yun's soap squeezed out of his hand and landed right in front of Gao Wei. What's more coincidental is that Dick O happened to appear at the bathroom door at this moment, seeing Wu Yun staring at Gao Wei with an excited expression on his face. And Gao Wei was half squatting, bending down, staring blankly at the soap on the ground.

  "Sorry about this, you guys go ahead..." Dick said awkwardly.

  Then he quietly walked out and closed the door behind him.

  When the soap fell in front of Gao Wei, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, his face also showing an awkward smile as he watched Dicko step out with a sly grin, and all he could do was sigh helplessly:

  "Big brother, this is not my soap!"
