Chapter 294 Chapter 293: Christmas Syndrome!
On December 25th, Christmas, the streets of London are singing and dancing, and people welcome the biggest festival of the year.
Chen Fan booked a room in a hotel near the street, and the family watched the grand Christmas parade from the balcony of the room.
Grandpa sitting in a wheelchair looked dazed, as if he was remembering something.
Chen Fan bent down and asked softly in Chinese: "Are you thinking about the Spring Festival again?"
Grandpa's cloudy eyes began to brighten, and he said, "Yes, I miss my relatives during the festive season, and now I really hope that one day I can go back to China for the Spring Festival..."
When it comes to the Spring Festival, grandpa seems to be decades younger: "gongs and drums blare, firecrackers blare, people wear new clothes, and every house is decorated with lanterns and festoons..."
"Going to temple fairs, setting off firecrackers..."
Chen Fan didn't bother grandpa's good memories, and Emily asked him softly what the two were talking about just now.
Chen Fan told her that grandpa missed his hometown, the mountains and rivers of his hometown, and the Spring Festival in his hometown.
Emily blinked her big eyes and said in surprise, "Honey, when will we go to China to celebrate the most authentic Spring Festival?"
Places where overseas Chinese gather will hold some activities every Spring Festival to celebrate the arrival of the new year. Emily has seen the lion dance before, and she thinks it is very beautiful.
Chen Fan replied: "I will definitely satisfy your wish. I have never been back since I grew up."
"However, this will not happen until after I retire."
……
After six days of rest, the last round of the first half of the Premier League kicked off.
Arsenal had an accident. Van Persie strained his thigh during training the day before the game. After a doctor's diagnosis, he needs to rest for two weeks.
Wenger felt lucky at the same time as regretting. Fortunately, during the Devil's schedule, the Dutch striker did not suffer from injuries, otherwise the [-]-game winning streak would have been suspended.
The professor's idea of changing Chen Fan's attacking midfielder could only come to nothing. Without Van Persie's frontcourt fulcrum, if Chen Fan's position is moved back, who will tear through the opponent's defense and score a goal?
Just after Christmas, the No.19 round of the Premier League began.

Three minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback, Chen Fan took Eb's pass and went into the penalty area, and Aston Villa's defense was in chaos.
During the melee, Chen Fan was brought down by the opponent's defender, but the referee ignored him.

The weakness of Arsenal's set-piece defense was once again exposed, and Wenger angrily smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand on the turf.
