Chapter 49 I chatted and laughed with that Jack
When Wilshire faced Zhou Yi, he didn't know what to say, so he pointed to his jersey and then to Zhou Yi.
This is very clear, exchange jerseys!
In two consecutive games, the top cards in the opponent's team came to Zhou Yi to exchange jerseys, which attracted the attention of most people.
Liang Qiqi stood alone on the court and ignored him, but Zhou Yi exchanged jerseys with others, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
There are already differences in treatment.
"No problem." Zhou Yi said in English. As a student party who is already in the third year of high school, English is naturally a compulsory course, and his grades cannot be worse. Zhou Yi's mother attaches great importance to academic performance, so this English is naturally the subject she focuses on.
Wilshire was overjoyed to see Zhou Yi knowing English, and took off his clothes and handed it to Zhou Yi. While saying in English, "It's a pity that you lost this ball. If you were still on the court in the second half, I believe you wouldn't be so miserable. Your performance is really good, I admire you very much! It's a pity that you went down the second half. Are you injured? I see that you were supported by your teammates at the end of the first half..."
His English like a cannon made Zhou Yi completely stupid.
As a senior high school student, he does know English and his English test scores are not bad. However, Chinese English education focuses more on writing and reading, and listening and speaking have always been weaknesses.
Zhou Yi would say something is already good. Wilshire obviously regarded him as a Chinese boy who could master English dialogue. He said so quickly and with a local accent, how could Zhou Yi understand it?
However, Zhou Yi is always "urgent" to be smart. Although he doesn't understand, he can guess why the other party asks him to exchange jerseys in such occasions?
Of course it’s because I played well! I’m mostly praising myself.
Chinese people are polite and respectful to each other. If you praise me, I will praise you too.
So Zhou Yi handed over his jersey, took Wilshire's jersey and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are also great, super awesome!"
They are all very simple words such as "OK" and "Very_Good". In order to express them clearly, Zhou Yi also accompanied them with body language - he gave a thumbs up.
When Wilshire heard that Zhou Yi said that his health was fine, he was very "ok", so he was relieved and asked: "You played so well, have you ever thought about coming to Arsenal? Our Arsenal has very strong youth training skills. You will definitely be stronger when you come!"
Zhou Yi finished praising Wilhel, following the traditional Chinese virtues, and wanted to show his modesty to himself, so he shook his head: "My performance is not good, my physical fitness is not good..."
When Wilshire saw Zhou Yi shook his head at his invitation, and listened to him "NONONO" again. He thought Zhou Yi had rejected his invitation. He said regretfully: "Ah... that's a pity. Well, I wish you good luck. I hope we can meet again in the future!"
Zhou Yi still kept "OK".
So the agreement between Wilhel and Zhou Yi was decided...
Several years later, Wilshire talked about his past with Zhou Yi, saying that they had made an appointment to meet again since then.
When the reporter ran to Zhou Yi for verification, Zhou Yi laughed: "That's right! There was such a decision! Ha!"
But if the reporters knew what happened next when they first met, they would probably have a little more experience of Zhou Yi's hearty laughter...

After Zhou Yi and Wilhelm had finished communicating, they shook hands and said goodbye. The teammates also surrounded him and were very interested in the communication between him and Wilhelm.
In the last game, Zhou Yi became the first person in the team to exchange jerseys with his opponents. In this game, Zhou Yi became the first person in the team to chat with his opponents.
"Zhou Yi, you kid, can speak English, amazing!" Sun Pan exclaimed.
"What did you talk about?" Yang Muge asked.
"Ha, it's nothing! He praised me for being good at performing. I showed my humility and praised him. The British are honest and like to tell the truth!" Zhou Yi's current performance does not seem to be "humble" at all...
However, he also has the confidence to say that because everyone sees his performance, good, it's good. Unlike Liang Qiqi, who is obviously a substitute who can't play the main player in his club youth team. He yells that he has been injured before and has not played the game. Now when he participates in the reality show, isn't he able to get the main player position right?
Now everyone knows that Liang Qiqi is bragging!
After hearing Zhou Yi say this, his teammates all agreed and praised Zhou Yi's performance.
At this moment, He Ying, who was walking by the crowd, couldn't help but say, "They were asking you why you were replaced after halftime, and he thought you were injured."
"Uh..." Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment.
When the teammates around him saw Zhou Yi's appearance, they burst into laughter. Li Xiang shouted: "It turns out that you two are talking to each other!"
"You can chat for a long time, you are amazing, Zhou Yi..." Sun Pan patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder. Obviously, he was not really impressed by Zhou Yi.
Yang Muge also shook his head and smiled bitterly - he was really deceived by Zhou Yi's serious nonsense before. It was not the first time he had been deceived by Zhou Yi like this. There was no way, he just trusted people so easily!
Guo Nu looked at Zhou Yi with a dumbfounded look. He thought Zhou Yi could really communicate with that foreigner. Seeing his calm and composed appearance, expression, movement, and tone... how natural they were, just like they wanted to chat with them.
Who knew that Zhou Yi was talking nonsense!
Zhou Yi's image of a noble person in his heart suddenly broke down like this... I thought Zhou Yi was really amazing before, but now I think she is just a funny guy...
Everyone was laughing happily, but Zhou Yi in the crowd did not feel ridiculed. He scratched his head and laughed: "Is that so? Haha, hahahahaha!"
The laughter of the Chinese teenagers attracted the attention of Hao Dong and others. Everyone turned their heads and looked over and found that their players were laughing happily in a circle.
Some people covered their stomachs with laughter, some people held their foreheads with laughter, and some people lay on their teammates with laughter.
"What's going on?" Xu Yang looked puzzled.
"I don't know." Hao Dong shrugged. "But at least, we don't have to worry about the emotional problems of the team after losing."
"I think it's probably related to Zhou Yi. Only that kid has such ability." Xu Yang said, his eyes falling on Zhou Yi who was smiling in the crowd.
While everyone was smiling happily, Liang Qiqi stood alone on the periphery, looking at the scene in front of him inconscientiously.
He didn't understand why his teammates who were dejected just now suddenly burst into laughter. He didn't understand why Zhou Yi would become the focus of everyone's attention no matter what he did. He didn't understand why Zhou Yi has now become the core of this team, whether on the court or off the court...
What he couldn't understand the most was why the one who made him lose so much was such an amateur player he looked down upon!

When Jack Wilshire was planning to leave, he was stopped by youth training manager Brady.
"Jack, what did you talk to that number sixteen?"
"Oh, I thought he was injured, and was replaced after only half of the game, so I went and asked. I told me that his health was fine." Wilshire said.
"It seems you are very interested in him. How do you think he plays like Jack?" Brady asked with a smile.
"Very good. Although I only played halftime, I think he is the best person in that team." Wilshire said to the Chinese teenagers.
"Ah, you have such a high opinion of him. So how about you?"
"Of course that's not as good as mine!" Wilshire replied without thinking, "But my position is not exactly the same as him, and his style of playing football is different. In fact, there is nothing comparable..." Wilshire shrugged.
"But I invited him to Arsenal."
"Huh?" Brady was very interested in Wilshire's words, "What did he say?"
"He rejected me." Wilshire sighed with some regret, "What a pity..."
But Brady did not speak, but turned her attention to Zhou Yi.

During dinner, Zhou Yi, Guo Nu, Sun Pan and Yang Muge sat together for dinner as usual.
When they were almost finished, Zhou Yi told everyone that he would continue the special training tonight.
But this time before Sun Pan expressed his objection, Guo Nu shook his head first: "No, there is no need for special training, Zhou Yi."
"Ah?" Zhou Yi was surprised.
Sun Pan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think the more important thing than special training for me now is... it is special training for you." Guo Nu said seriously.
This time it was not only Zhou Yi, but also Sun Pan and Yang Muge were surprised.
"I, I...I think..." Guo Nu suddenly became nervous and stuttered. "I think you... need to improve your physical fitness. In this way, you won't be replaced so early." Guo Nu paused for a moment and continued.
"Body and physical training is very boring, so I will accompany you, and you——Special training together!"
Zhou Yi opened his mouth and forgot to eat food. He could still see half of the food residue in his mouth...

At the door of Guo Nu's room, Zhou Yi, Sun Pan and Yang Muge waited together. Soon Guo Nu came out of the room. He held a velvet bag in his hand, and he handed the bag to Zhou Yi's hand.
"Damn, it's so heavy!" Zhou Yi's hand fell down as soon as he took the bag, and his arms were pulled out without any warning.
"What is this?" Sun Pan lifted the bag from Zhou Yi's hand, which was indeed a bit heavy.
"I, the sandbag I used for exercise, tied to my legs," Guo Nu said.
Zhou Yi took the bag back from Sun Pan's hand and really took out two sandbags from it. The appearance of the sandbag is really a bit... not very good-looking.
The two sandbags with cloth sewn, the appearance of the cloth itself is no longer visible, because the patches are stacked on it, and the largest patch is almost half as big as the sandbag. All the patches are white, no matter what color they originally were, reflecting the traces of time.
The sandbag is closed with a zipper and has burrs on the edges.
"This..." Yang Muge couldn't help but be moved when he saw such a tattered sandbag.
"This is what I, my mom, did for me. I started wearing this running, walking and playing football when I was very young. It is indeed helpful in enhancing endurance." Guo Nu said, "Now I will lend you this to you, Zhou Yi, and I hope you can improve your physical fitness through it."
Zhou Yi held the two sandbags in both hands and looked at them carefully.
Obviously, Guo Nu regarded these two sandbags that had been with him since childhood as treasures, otherwise he would not have specially used a velvet cloth bag that looked better than this sandbag.
"Thank you, Lao Guo." Zhou Yi raised his head and said sincerely to Guo Nu.
Guo Nu grinned, and he was also very happy that he could help Zhou Yi.
"But..." Zhou Yi frowned, "You said you wore this when you were very young? But if you are too young and bear heavy loads all day long, it will affect your development..."
"What nonsense, Zhou Yi? Old Guo is short even if he doesn't wear this thing!" Sun Pan retorted. "Look at my height, I didn't have a brick tied under my feet and hung it on the horizontal bar, but it's that tall! This is... a talent!"
Listening to the bickering between Zhou Yi and Sun Pan, Guo Nu blushed, but soon the red tide receded. It was obvious that Guo Nu, who was attacked by Zhou Yi and Sun Pan all day long, had already achieved great results in emotional control.
Yang Muge was worried that Guo Nu would lose control of his emotions, so he quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's go to train. Didn't we agree to accompany Zhou Yi to go to special training?"
He pushed Zhou Yi and Sun Pan to the elevator, while Guo Nu followed behind the three of them, and the four of them ran towards the hotel gym.
