Chapter 806 Marseille
Ai Huan has stayed in Europe for quite a few years, but he has never been to Marseille. This time he went to this prestigious place for the first time during the Champions League match.

This is the second largest city in France and the largest port, with a population of more than 100 million. Because of the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate by the sea.The southeast of Marseille is close to the Mediterranean Sea. The deep water port has no rapids and dangerous beaches. The [-]-ton ship can pass through unimpeded. The west has the Rhone River and the flat valley to connect with Northern Europe. The geographical location is unique and the natural scenery is also very beautiful.

But what really makes Ai Huan happy is that there are still his old acquaintances here. The national youth team, the national team, and maybe the future Olympic team triple teammate Zhang Lindong is playing here this season. He is very important to Ai Huan. He also seemed very enthusiastic, and made an appointment with Ai Huan to wander around the city of Marseille that day.

Although Zhang Lindong has not been here for a long time, he already knows a lot about Marseille. He can point to a building and say something like "This is the birthplace of the French national anthem Marseillaise. It is said that This tavern was where the first audiences and singers gathered."

"There is the birthplace of Tarot cards, a great witch invented this thing."

"That house over there is Zidane's former residence, where he was born."

"Looking from here, the place where the lights are lit in the sea is Ifo Island, the Count of Monte Cristo, you know, he is imprisoned in Ifo City on Ifo Island, and it has always been used as a prison for many political prisoners. Yes." Afterwards, there were Notre Dame de Garde, the Marseille Museum of Art, and Zhang Lindong seemed to want to pour all the places into Ai Huan's mind.

"Wait a minute, what's the point of these places? The most interesting thing in Europe is that no matter what kind of big cities keep buildings from hundreds of years ago, many people say this is called history. But I'm just annoyed This point, no matter how you look at it, looks like an urban-rural fringe area. When I first went to Spain, I always felt that I went to a town, but now it seems that it is the same everywhere.”

Zhang Lindong laughed loudly, "You are just talking to me, if you tell those Europeans, they will spray you."

Ai Huan also grinned, "Of course I was just talking to you. But what shall we eat, I'm a little hungry. Is the French food delicious?"

Zhang Lindong immediately shook his head, "Everyone talks about French cuisine, but it's really unpalatable only when you come here. The most famous dish here is Provence Bouillabaisse, which is a soup made by boiling sea fish and shrimp together. Listen It’s pretty good at first, I’ve eaten it in China, it’s also like seafood soup, and the taste is still good. But the authentic one is not the same thing as what we saw, like” He paused, it should be Suddenly, I couldn’t think of anything that could be equated with this thing, and it took me a long time to say, “I can’t think of anything that is the same as it, but this fish soup is very sticky, disgusting, and has a weird taste. , It doesn't taste like food at all, but it's a bit like sewer."

"Hahaha." Ai Huan couldn't help but sprayed all of a sudden, "You said it was disgusting."

"You don't know how disgusting it is until you eat it. By the way, are you used to eating it in Germany? I heard that the red sausage there is very good."

Ai Huan rolled his eyes, "You thought it was Harbin, and the red sausage is also of the same flavor. The seasoning they use is different from ours. Many things have a pungent taste, not edible."

"Then go back to where I live, and I'll make you a meal."

"You still cook?"

"My mother can do it. She is here, taking care of my life." Zhang Lindong said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I really admire you. You have never let your family come to take care of you after you have been abroad for so many years. You, your self-care ability is really strong."

"I used to have no money, but later I got used to it. Besides, my parents are not used to these foreign places. They don't want to come here, and they are not very used to living here occasionally, let alone staying here all year round."

"Haha, I'm afraid you don't want them to come, you have so many girlfriends, they will affect your plan of picking up girls." The relationship between the two has always been very good, so Zhang Lindong can also joke with Ai Huan.

Ai Huan stretched out his hand and touched his head, and smiled hesitantly, "By the way, can you play in tomorrow's match?"

Zhang Lindong curled his lips, "It should be about the same. In the last two games, I started and played the whole game. I didn't perform particularly well or make any mistakes, but it's hard to say. You are in such a hot state now. I also say that the boss's arrangement Not good." Even though they are all from China, this topic is still a bit secretive, and they are not willing to make themselves like little detectives, so it is better not to talk about this kind of topic.

"I also hope that you and I can qualify together, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, we are already in Europe now. As long as we play hard, we will be able to have a good future. At the worst, we can improve our abilities, right? The focus should still be on the national team level, as long as we can achieve better results in China, it will not be in vain."

Zhang Lindong couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Ai Huan say this, "I'm really not used to you saying this, it's a bit fake no matter how you hear it."

Zhang Lindong is from Shandong. Although he later became famous in Shanghai and played in Guangzhou for a few years, his mother's cooking is still Shandong's taste, which is also very suitable for Ai Huan's appetite, so the meal was very happy.After dinner, the two bid farewell, and it was almost eight o'clock when Ai Huan returned to the hotel.

Marseille is the same as other clubs, they did not open their stadium but gave Schalke a small field for them to conduct pre-match training, so it is not surprising that Ai Fan did not participate, Magath saw him After returning safely, I felt relieved, and immediately held a pre-war preparation meeting. Tomorrow's battle is still very important.

Zhang Chong also came over to have a chat with Ai Huan. He couldn't just stop participating in the pre-match training like Ai Huan, so he had to wait for the end of the game before he could get together with Zhang Lindong. But after all, this is also a Chinese player in the Champions League For the first derby, they will naturally appear closer than ever, so they immediately came to ask about Zhang Lindong's situation.

When he knew that Ai Huan had eaten a very rich seafood meal, he immediately felt a little envious and jealous. Zhang Chong also took his family to Germany, but Gelsenkirchen is not a seaport city, so for these For those who grew up by the sea, when they heard about seafood, they couldn't bear it.
