Chapter 162 The end of the season
"Naples is back. After the painful memory of bankruptcy and relegation a year ago, this southern team won the league championship of Serie C Group B with four rounds ahead of schedule and a record of home victory. At the same time, it also won the qualification for next season's Serie B. Next season, the blue flag of Naples will fly again in Serie B, and Naples' No. [-] jersey will continue to be sealed. After seeing Naples' extremely luxurious lineup in Serie C, we have reason to believe that with With the strong support of Laurentiis, a tycoon in the film industry, the prospect of Naples will be extremely bright. This team does not lack the support of fans, nor does it lack the charm of attracting outstanding players. What they lacked before was only strong financial strength and a shrewd management.

After the No.30 match in Serie C, Sky TV broadcast the news in prime time. The last Serie C team that had won such an honor was Fiorentina, and now it is Naples.

And on the night when the [-] rounds ended, Naples held a grand celebration - there was no such a grand celebration in the years of Serie B. This celebration was not only because Naples won a Serie C Group B championship that was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the fans, but because they saw new hope!
The first hope since the days of Maradona!They saw a mature and potential team, and a mature and visionary management team—these are more important than temporary achievements, especially the two five-year plans of Chairman Laurentiis—entering Serie A in the first five years, and becoming a world-class giant in the second five years—making them full of longing for the future of Naples.

Now it seems that Laurentiis is not talking in empty words. It took him only one year to build a team that is competitive enough in Serie B. It seems that the first five-year plan can exceed the task.

And Marino's performance reassured Naples fans-now this Naples team is composed of some former players and some new players, and among the new players, Fontana has become the core of the midfield, Sosa has become the top scorer, and Carajo, who transferred from Pescara, has become a banner among the young players in Naples. Although Modio didn't play many games, he has shown enough potential. He bought two promising new stars at a low price. This deal has been done well. Even the young forward Long Bisheng, who came on loan from China during the winter break, also handed over an excellent test paper with six starts and four substitute appearances and scored four goals...

For a club, money alone is not enough, you have to be able to buy people. Otherwise, with Moratti’s large investment in Inter Milan, Inter Milan would have won the league championship long ago, and they would not have won the championship in 17 years.

It is not enough to have money, but also to have vision. Laurentiis is rich, and Marino, who has served as a manager of several Serie A clubs and achieved good results, has vision. This is called a golden partner.

Now, the pair of golden partners are in one of the most luxurious hotels in Naples, holding their cups in their hands with red faces, toasting all the players and coaches of Naples-in just one season, Laurentiis and Marino have won the most loyal support of Naples fans. Apart from their doing well in their respective fields, the biggest reason is the outstanding performance of the players and coaches.

After talking a lot of words of encouragement and praise, Laurentiis finally said what the players were most willing to hear-in addition to the upgrade bonuses stipulated in their respective contracts, an additional [-] euros in upgrade bonuses will be issued to each player!
After the words were said, the players were all jubilant. Many of the players transferred this season came here with a salary cut, because they were attracted by the name of Naples. It is no exaggeration to say that players like Sosa chose Naples this season, at least tens of thousands of euros were lost financially. In the world, the income of the club will increase significantly, and naturally the players cannot be treated badly. This promise even aroused cheers from the players.

To put it bluntly, professional football is a game of money. Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is impossible. There is indeed a reason for this saying that has been said badly.Professional players are human beings, and they have to support their families. Honor is important, but no player will play football hungry.

Everyone was happy, and Long Bisheng was even happier. Counting the upgrade bonus of 6 euros stipulated in the contract, the salary of 70 euros for half a season and the additional bonus of [-] euros, after the end of this season, he can get more than [-] euros, which is equivalent to [-] yuan.
Just thinking of this, Long Bisheng's cell phone rang suddenly. Long Bisheng pleaded guilty to the coaches and teammates, and then found a quiet place to connect the phone.

It was Li Fang who called: "Aaron, I'm going back to Florence now... There is still training tomorrow. You are celebrating now, give Chu Ran a hello, I won't come to you, tell him, I'm waiting to meet him in the national team."

"I see, Brother Li Da." Long Bisheng replied, "By the way, where are you now, I will return that card to you..."

Li Fang laughed: "I'm at the airport right now, and the plane is about to leave... Just take the card, and now you should know that this amount of money is nothing to a player who plays football in Europe... Just take it as me thanking Uncle Long for taking care of my parents... By the way, the World Cup is about to start, and you will use this money to bring your parents to Germany to watch the World Cup. I think Uncle Long will be very happy... Don't be polite to me, do you hear me? Which of our two families is with whom? Isn't your father just like my father? Being a son? Shouldn’t Qian invite Dad to watch the World Cup? Well, stop talking nonsense, I’m going to turn off my mobile phone, and mobile phones are not allowed to be turned on on the plane.”

"But..." Long Bisheng was a little anxious, and Li Fang immediately interrupted him: "By the way, I have something to tell you... Watching your game today, I found that you can try to practice long-range shots outside the penalty area. Your thighs are thick and powerful, and your shots are also very powerful. If you don't practice long-range shots, it will be a waste. In modern football, there are fewer and fewer shooting opportunities in the penalty area. Only with the ability to score outside the penalty area can you gain a foothold on the pitch."

"Then how do we practice long-range shooting?" Long Bisheng was attracted by Li Fang's question, and asked subconsciously.

"I don't know much about this, because my long-range shooting ability is not strong... Well, next time I will ask someone and I will tell you the answer. His long-range shooting ability is very good." Li Fang thought for a while, and then said mysteriously.

Long Bisheng was very curious: "Who is it?"

"Secret it first!" Li Fangyuan laughed and hung up the phone.

Long Bisheng was holding the phone blankly, thinking about who Li Fang would go to - could it be the former Fiorentina legendary striker Batistuta?No way?
Thinking of this, Long Bisheng couldn't help being excited, and then he sighed—he was interrupted by Li Fang, and he forgot about the card—forget it, I will return it to Brother Li Dafang next time, but Li Fang's words reminded Long Bisheng that he now has some money on hand, should he invite his parents to Europe to watch the World Cup?At worst, just pretend that the [-] euro bonus has not been obtained.

Well, whether Dad can ask for leave is still a question. You must know that active soldiers are the most difficult to ask for leave, so you should tell Dad now and let him start preparing for the vacation now.Long Bisheng was thinking while walking towards the hall of the celebration.

**************************************
In the remaining four games of this season, Rhea seldom arranged the main players to play. He arranged more substitute players who seldom played and the main substitutes to play together in the main lineup.

In these four games, Long Bisheng started three games and scored one goal. Due to the loose arrangement of the head coach, the players also played casually on the field. Long Bisheng's performance was not very good, but he also scored one goal. In these four games, Long Bisheng also tried to break through with the ball or shoot long shots from outside the penalty area, but it didn't seem to have a good effect.

After the last four league games, this season also ended. Long Bisheng handed in an answer sheet of nine starts and five goals in half a season-this is already a pretty good result for a young player who is less than 17 years old and is playing in the Italian league for the first time.

PS: According to the schedule of the Italian C[-] League, there should be a C[-] Super Cup after the end of the league. The champions of Group A and B will fight to determine the final champion, but it has nothing to do with the plot, so there is no description-I have already been very verbose, and I don’t want to repeat it.
