Chapter 372 Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival Abroad
In the world of adults, time is a Bolt, it runs fast.People can't catch up even if they want to catch up.
In training and competition, the days slipped away.Unknowingly, it has entered the autumn season.And the Mid-Autumn Festival also followed in a blink of an eye.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, which is not popular among white Europeans.But on this day, as a Chinese, how could I forget it?Especially as a Chaoshan native, the Mid-Autumn Festival is no less important than the Spring Festival.
Westerners do not have this holiday, but it does not prevent Yan Feng from celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival by himself.On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it happened to be a day off after the team had just played a game.In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Feng decided to invite Sandor, Longban and others to come to his house to spend it together.
Chaoshan people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival very grandly. If they are in their hometown, they rarely go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.At night, a table full of various offerings has to be placed on the balcony, roof and other open-air places to worship the moon.Of course, there are also fireworks and Kongming lanterns.
However, here is Spain, of course these things are impossible to do.If you do this, you may be called to the police by the neighbor next door.
It is impossible to be completely traditional, but Yan Feng can put a table full of food and fruits to taste while watching the moon.
In the living room near the balcony at home, Yan Feng chatted and ate with a group of friends from the team.And in the sky outside the balcony, the moon is full.
"Yan, is this the mooncake that you Chinese must eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival? It seems a bit sweet." Longban said after tasting the mooncakes.
"Longban, you can eat the low-sugar one over there. The one over there is ice-skinned and has a very special taste." Yan Feng pointed to a large box of mooncakes on the table.
"So this is called a snowskin mooncake? Yes, it's delicious, and it feels icy in your mouth. Well, I like this." Gomez, who was tasting a piece of snowskin mooncake, nodded while eating.
"Oh, then let me have a taste. The taste of Wuren is a bit strange. I think this one might be better." Long Ban said.
"Everyone try it, not only mooncakes, but also a lot of dim sum that can only be found in my hometown, this is peanut cake, this is sesame cake`````" Yan Feng happily pointed to the various hometown specialties on the table Said.These are not available in Granada, and Li Xueer and Aunt Ni specially bought them from Chaoshan and sent them over.Eating hometown specialties that I haven't eaten for a long time, I have a feeling of reminiscing about my childhood.It made him feel very happy.When he was a child, these things were his favorite food, but his family was poor, and he couldn't eat them until certain seasons.
Foreigners may not necessarily like what the Chinese are used to eating.Like the group of close teammates who came to his house today, some like to eat moon cakes, while others can't accept it.But it’s okay, if you don’t like to eat snacks, you can eat fruit. If you don’t want to, you can have a cup of tea or coffee.
Yan Feng also placed a set of tea sets in the living room, which he bought and brought with him when he returned to China to play in the world preliminaries.As a Chaoshan person, no matter where you go, a set of tea sets is essential.After Yan Feng brewed the tea, he shared it with everyone.
"Oh, this tea is not bad. It smells so good. And the taste is very special. What kind of tea is this? It doesn't seem to be black tea." Longban praised after pouring water into his mouth.
"This is Tieguanyin." Yan Feng raised a cup and said after taking a sip.
"Ti Kuanying? Very good tea. I don't think your tea has added sugar." Long Ban pouted.
"Add sugar? Oh, we Chinese don't add sugar to our tea." Only then did Yan Feng remember that Europeans usually drink black tea and like to eat sugar like coffee.
"Chinese people don't add sugar to their tea? However, this tea is not bitter at all. It's quite special to drink like this. It's such a small cup, it's not enough for even one sip." Long Ban held up his three-fingered handcuff Holding the teacup, some shook their heads and said.
"Longban, do you think you're drinking beer? Drinking tea is like tasting red wine. You have to sip carefully and aftertaste carefully." Sandor followed Yan Feng's example and took small sips.It looked like a kunshi tasting red wine.
Seeing Sander like this, the others sipped his tea with a serious face, as if he looked more like a Kunshi.It's just that Yan Feng thought it was funny when he saw it. Kung Fu tea is just a chat with friends in leisure time. Don't be so nervous, just casual.
After Yan Feng poured himself another cup, he looked up at the sky outside the balcony while drinking.Today's moon is extraordinarily bright, just like in my hometown.
"It seems that the moon in foreign countries is also very round and big. It is similar to what I saw in China." For some reason, Yan Feng suddenly remembered the joke that the moon in foreign countries is rounder.At home and abroad, in fact, we all see the same moon, there is no difference.
If there is any difference, it is that in foreign countries, there is no Mid-Autumn Festival, no Chang'e, only God.It is also looking at the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it lacks the feeling of celebrating the festival in my hometown.
However, even so, it was better for Yan Feng to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone at home.There is a happy festive atmosphere when it is lively.
"Yan, why have you been staring at the moon? Homesick?" Gomez asked suddenly.
"Well, it kind of reminds me of the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was a child." Yan Feng said.
"Oh, our captain is homesick? My God. This is not good news. Yan, the current Granada team will be seriously affected without you. I still think, when I am about to retire Can you achieve higher achievements in the past few years?" Longban said in surprise.
"Hehe, Longban, you are overthinking. Everyone who is out of town will inevitably miss their hometown. But this will not affect the pursuit of a dream. I still want to lead Granada to create history." Yan Feng said laughingly.
"Oh, that's good. You said you were homesick, and that's what scared me. I don't want the good brothers who fought side by side happily to leave us." Longban laughed happily when he heard this.
"Hehe, I can't bear to part with you good brothers. We are the ones who want to create the history of La Liga together. I won't be so stupid as to leave." Yan Feng said with a smile.Many people who go abroad to play football often choose to leave under the excuse of missing their hometown when they are not used to it.Although his life in Granada is very monotonous, as long as his football dream is still pursued, he doesn't care about other inconveniences and discomforts.
"Making history? Haha, we've already made history in Granada." Lomban said with a laugh.The past few years of playing for Granada have been the brilliance of his career.He has been lingering in the relegation team or the West Second team. He was originally destined to be a small role that will never be mentioned after he retires.Now, with the Granada team achieving more and more, he is no longer unknown.
"I think we can create better history. For example, the upcoming European League." Yan Feng said thoughtfully.
"I think so too. But, it seems, our team, I don't know how to put it, it feels very strange." Longban said helplessly.
Yan Feng frowned.Yes, Granada feels weird, and he feels that way too.It's the kind of depression that obviously feels that there is still strength, but it just can't be used.
After winning Real Sociedad, they played two more rounds, but both ended in draws.Both games ended 1:1.
One was against Alaves, Granada played at home.First they led by one goal, but were equalized by the opponent with a free kick at the end of the game.
The other was against Malaga and Granada was away.In this game, they also led by one goal and were tied by a set kick in the second half.
These two teams are both upper-middle-class teams in La Liga. Although the draw is too bad, it is depressing to have such a result.Especially Yan Feng, who has championship ambitions in his heart, is very dissatisfied with this.
The two conceded goals were lost from set kicks. On the surface, it seems that there is a problem with their ability to defend set kicks.But Yan Feng felt that this was not the main problem.
He always had the feeling that the Granada team could be more than that.He always felt that if they put in more effort, they could close the lead by one goal.
You know, last season, there were quite a few games in which they won by a big score or reversed with a few goals.You can look back carefully at the number of goals scored and the goal difference of the Granada team this season.Yan Feng found that there were very few.
Granada have rarely won by two goals in the games they have won.There are basically no games with three goals.
Fewer goals, fewer wins, all this seems to be a problem of offensive ability.But Yan Feng felt that this should not be the case.
"I don't know why, I always feel that our team seems to have a strange feeling this season. It seems to be far from what it should be." Yan Feng still couldn't help but express his thoughts.
"Yes."
"Yes, I feel that way too."
The others responded after hearing this.
"Yan, do you think that our team has not been able to exert its full strength at all?" Sandor asked Yan Feng after thinking for a while.
"Yes. Have you noticed that last season, we could score three or four goals, but this season we often only score one or two goals. But obviously, our current strength should be better than last season. Like Aslan The arrival of Costa and Costa have both enhanced our offensive capabilities. However, what we showed is completely different." Yan Feng frowned.
"Yes. The realized performance was completely different from what we expected. In other words, Aslan and the others performed well in the game. We all performed well when we were on the court. But the result of the whole game was , but always unsatisfactory. This situation is very strange." Sandel also frowned.
"Maybe it's because of the new teammates, isn't there not enough tacit understanding between everyone?" Gomez interjected.Although he is not a first-team player, he also pays attention to the first-team games every day, and also feels that something is wrong with the team.
"This has some influence. But now, everyone is already quite familiar with each other. The cooperation is also very good. I wonder if the team's style is not suitable for our actual level?" Yan Feng asked. .
"As far as style is concerned, although some changes have been made, everyone will not be uncomfortable. For example, strengthening ball control, I don't think it is a disadvantage. I think this is an improvement in technical and tactical levels compared to last season." Sang Del made some comments.
"Sandel is right, we are actually adding some changes on the basis of last season. This should not be the main reason for this situation. But I don't know, what caused our team to be like this now .” Yan Feng agrees with Sandor’s words.Since the game against the Greek Athletic team, the inverted triangle tactics dominated by Yan Feng's back inserts have returned to the usual tactics of the Granada team.The combination of passing the ball and suddenly launching a quick raid made the Granada team more difficult to defend in the following games.
"I don't know why this happened." Sandel said he couldn't think of it.
"Me too." ```Others have the same idea.
"What's the problem? It can be better, but why can't it be done? I can't think of it, it's really a headache." Yan Feng really feels a headache for the current situation of the team.
"Okay, Yan, don't think so much. This problem is a problem for the coaching staff. Let them think about it. We just need to play our own football well." Longban said nonchalantly.In his view, thinking about these coaches is asking for trouble.
"Hehe. That's right. This kind of thing should be a headache for the coaching staff. If we can think of it, they must be able to think of it. Let's not think about it." Yan Feng chuckled lightly upon hearing this.I also feel like I'm asking for trouble.
coach?After Yan Feng finished speaking, a possibility suddenly flashed in his mind.But he soon stopped thinking about it.
"Let's talk about something else. Talk about something happy. For example, Yan, tell us some interesting things about your China. To be honest, I didn't have a good impression of you Chinese before. But you changed my opinion I think what you said must be different from what those reporters reported." Longban said to Yan Feng.
Hearing that Longban wanted to hear about China, Yan Feng decided not to think about the thoughts that just flashed through his mind. "Okay. Let me talk to you about our China``````"
Next, Yan Feng chatted with everyone about some domestic matters that foreigners are more interested in.And many of them are foreigners who learned from the reports but did things contrary to the facts.
Time passed quickly, and the family reunion came to an end amid pleasant chatting and food tasting.
After seeing everyone off, Yan Feng sat down, looked at the moon outside again and fell into deep thought.
"What's the matter? Feng. Are you homesick?" Zhou Yun came over and leaned his head on Yan Feng's shoulder.
"No. I've said it before. Home is where you are."
"Oh, then what's on your mind when you look like this?"
"I'm thinking about the problem I just mentioned to them. I don't know if I'm thinking too much. I think the current situation of our team may be the coach's problem. Coach Alcaraz, maybe he doesn't adapt to the current Graner Team. If we don’t change, it will be very difficult for us to improve this season.” After this thought flashed through Yan Feng’s mind, he couldn’t stop thinking about it.The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was so.
This kind of thinking can't be said to teammates, but now it's with his own woman, so there's nothing he can't say.
"Oh. That's right. But he is your head coach. What can you do?"
"That's right. Even if it's really the coach's problem. But we have to listen to him." Yan Feng felt very helpless when he thought of this.I don't know how to think about it.
"Okay. Don't think too much. Maybe the truth is not what you think. Besides, Boss Jiang has the right to make decisions about the coaching." Zhou Yun persuaded.
"Well. Don't think about it. Have you thought about it anyway?" Yan Feng decided not to think about it.It's better to let this thought sleep in the bottom of my heart.
