When Sun Dahai returned to the hotel suite, the first thing he did was to throw himself on the soft big bed.
It has been eight days since he left London to join the team, and Sun Dahai has been really exhausted these days. Although he doesn't compete on the court like his teammates, he has to face the senior officials of various clubs and the all-pervasive agents almost every day. Journalists from all walks of life.
In eight days, the Banat team moved to three places and played three away games in a row, achieving a record of one win, one draw and one loss. With three points and two goal differences, they ranked tied for third in the league. Tenth place, among the 24 teams, the ranking is pretty good.
The three-point system has not yet been implemented in the league. A win is worth 2 points, and a draw is worth 1 point. In addition, the league has just started, and the points of each team have not spread. The first place has two wins and a draw, with 5 points. points, only one goal behind the Banat team.
High-intensity games and consecutive away games made the young players of the Banat team feel extremely tired.
However, the team's lineup and technical and tactical play have basically taken shape. Advocaat's hard work in pre-season training has finally seen results, and the players' performance is getting better every game.
In the game that just ended in the afternoon, the Banat team defeated the host Swansea team 4:1 cleanly, winning the team's first victory in the league this season.
Many players worked so hard that they were almost cramped, but for this first victory, everyone felt it was worth it.
Swansea is the second largest city in Wales. Although Swansea is a Welsh team, it participates in the Britten Football League.
Swansea's historical record is also like a nerve knife, sometimes entering the second league, and sometimes falling to the D league (fourth level). However, they still hang out in the C league most of the time, but the football in Wales They have won the cup championship many times.
Although the Swansea team lost the game, it did not affect the reception organized by their club in the evening.
The owner of the Swansea team, Benjamin, is a steel factory owner. He is an interesting person and uses the team as a social tool. As for the team's performance, Swansea City Football Club cannot retain big-name players and coaches anyway, so then Just let nature take its course.
This is also a problem that all small clubs have to face. Small clubs are not strong enough to compete with big clubs for famous stars. If they want to improve their own strength, they can only rely on luck and hope to cultivate new players. Make up for the shortcomings.
But once the newcomers become famous, it will be difficult for small clubs to retain these new stars. Even if they know that they are just substitutes, they will not refuse the call of the big clubs.
Which rising star is not ambitious? They all think that they are better than others, and they will definitely be able to play in a big club, but the result...
Benjamin was used to this kind of situation. He knew that he was powerless to change the status quo, so he no longer considered too much about the pros and cons and just let everyone have fun together.
The reception banquet was scheduled early. Benjamin is a social butterfly. He made this decision when he heard that Sun Dahai arrived in Swansea City with the team.
Sun Dahai was very suspicious that this was just an excuse. Just like Americans who often hold parties, this reception was nothing more than a cover for him.
They come, the security.
Sun Dahai has been following this circle and has experienced a lot. He doesn't care about attending the last cocktail party anymore. Anyway, they will return to London tomorrow, and this away trip is coming to an end.
Swansea is a city with heavy industry, and most of Benjamin’s friends are engaged in these industries. When chatting with each other, everyone always feels that there are many good things to say, and there are not many topics to talk about.
However, Sun Dahai's trip was not in vain. At the cocktail party, he met Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was only a few days away from turning 20 years old and looked young.
Catherine had become an official cabaret singer a few years ago and her home is in Swansea.
She studied music and dance since she was a child, and became a singer in a church performance troupe at the age of 10.
Later, due to illness and damaged vocal cords, she dropped out of school and came to London to practice dancing, and later won the Britten tap dance championship.
Catherine became a singer and dancer certified by the Screen Actors Guild at the age of 15. She has participated in many musical stage plays and musicals, and has rich stage experience. She is also considered a celebrity in the local literary and art circles.
.
This time it happened that Catherine went home to visit her parents. When the organizer of the reception learned about it, she invited her to attend the reception. Otherwise, most of the reception would be middle-aged and elderly men, and wouldn’t it be boring?
In fact, the organizers of the reception not only invited Catherine, but also some girls from the Swansea Dance Company to join in the fun. They even invited some models from a local modeling agency, all of whom are preparing to appear on stage at London Fashion Week next month.
Senior model.
The momentum of this cocktail party is just that. At the cocktail party organized by Swansea City Football Club to entertain the chairman of Banat Football Club and its senior management, football was rarely mentioned. It was really strange.
But it’s understandable if you think about it. Excluding those fancy girls, the average age of the guests at the reception is well over forty.
When we meet for the first time, we can talk about everything, economics, politics, religion, and culture. These are all allowed, but they are all in vain anyway.
But when it comes to these two struggling teams in the C-League, it's hard to grasp the balance.
Especially the choice of topic. If you put it lightly, it's boring. If you put it more deeply, others won't know whether you are praising or criticizing. It will be misunderstood and it will be bad. There is really nothing to talk about.
Sun Dahai socialized for a while, then found a place to sit down and eat by himself.
To be honest, Britten's food is really unpalatable. It's either fried or boiled, and he doesn't like to add seasonings during the cooking process. The sauce is poured on the food after it's out of the pan, which doesn't taste good at all.
The only thing that can satisfy Sun Dahai's appetite is fried lamb chops. The prerequisite is to ask the chef to only add minced chili pepper, cumin and salt, or simply apply black pepper sauce. Don't be creative, otherwise it will be cooked properly.
It becomes a dark dish properly.
Although Britten's food culture is relatively famous in the world, it is still far behind France across the sea.
But the fish (sea fish) and sheep in Britten's diet are still quite famous. The fish are mainly sea fish from the Atlantic Ocean, mainly salmon, sea bass, cod and tuna.
Britten's sheep are even more famous. Many of the excellent sheep breeds bred in various countries around the world now contain Britten sheep genes.
However, such good conditions were wasted by them. At least judging from their meals, it can be proved that this is indeed the case.
While Sun Dahai shook his head, he added a large piece of lamb chop to his plate.
