Chapter 111: The call with Iaquinta during the winter break
In the end, the game was [-]-[-]. Juventus won Cagliari without bloodshed in the away game, marking a perfect end to their half-time league.

The sun rose as usual the next day, giving people a little warmth in this cold winter.Moreover, the sunlight is extraordinarily dazzling, as if it is trying to melt the snow on the top of the Alps, and it is used to ridicule the world's words about the end of the world.

This night, I don’t know how many people stayed up. They waited all night for the doomsday to prepare for not wanting to die unknowingly. However, the dazzling sun and the peaceful morning as usual gave them a loud slap in the face.

Of course, there are also many people who feel alive through this incident, which is great!
Rumors of the end of the world are so broken that people don't even bother to go back and talk about it.

And Serie A has entered the winter break from today, and the team has started to have a holiday. It will not be until January [-] that the team will start to gather again and start a new journey.

The teammates are all discussing how to spend this holiday. Pirlo plans to take his family to the warm Brazil for vacation, and Vucinic wants to go back to his hometown in Montenegro.Buffon smiled and put his arms around Pirlo's shoulders and said he wanted to form a team. He also took his family and Pirlo to Brazil to enjoy the sunshine. This was a holiday gathering between two old men and two families.

Pogba is going back to France to spend Christmas with his parents and his uncle who has stepped into the football world. Bonucci whispered something in Marchisio's ear, and then the two guys wretched together Laughing, Li Zihan can tell that these two guys are planning to pick up girls somewhere.
Vidal came up and sat next to Li Zihan and asked, "Li, how are you spending this Christmas?"

Li Zihan shook his head: "I don't know. I might go to Germany in a few days. Puma said that it is convenient for me to make tailor-made sneakers for me at this time."

Regarding the endorsement of Puma, the teammates know that these are very common business activities, and they also have many endorsement contracts.

Pirlo issued an invitation: "Why don't you go to Rio de Janeiro with us, the matter on Puma should be over soon, you and us can go to Germany after Christmas in Brazil."

Li Zihan smiled and refused: "Thank you for the invitation, Andrea. Although I know that you actually asked me to take care of the children for you and Gigi (Buffon), and then you two couples can enjoy the two human world."

Then the teammates in the locker room all laughed, they all knew that Li Zihan was joking.

Asamoah smiled and said: "Li, you don't know how to go abroad? I know that you have a custom in China called. It's called wearing beautiful clothes to go home. And it seems that your big spring festival is coming soon."

Asamoah didn't understand Li Zihan's previous sentence, but the latter sentence probably meant the Spring Festival he was talking about.

Li Zihan didn't know, so he asked, "What is that?"

Asamoah is a black African from Ghana. All African countries have a good relationship with China, and many Africans know some Chinese customs.

Asamoah danced and gestured: "That is to say, if you get rich outside, you can buy beautiful clothes and go back to your hometown."

Li Zihan suddenly realized: "You're talking about returning home?" Then he shook his head: "Why didn't I even go back home, besides, I'm really embarrassed to go back with such a fart. And during the Spring Festival, this year's The Chinese New Year is a bit later, around February, when the competition schedule is busy at that time, there is no time to go back for the Spring Festival.”

Asamoah shrugged: "I also said that you are going back to China, and then take me there with you. I know that your country has a lot of delicacies."

As he spoke, he licked his own big black lips.
Li Zihan really didn't think about returning to China at this time. Firstly, he hadn't achieved success yet. Secondly, Zhang Cheng, a reporter with a good relationship with him, told him that if he returned to the Congress, he would face all kinds of leaders from the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association. meetings and dinners
Li Zihan didn't have any affection for those paunchy, fat-headed, mandarin-speaking officials whose father was the best in the world.He knew that he was going back to help them put on a show, and then count Li Zihan's achievements abroad as their political achievements. They did a lot of this kind of thing.

Li Zihan was worried that his temper was usually okay, what if he couldn't stand those people's faces and put food on each other's faces.Although I don't have domestic gangsters, those land lords are really not easy to offend. If they do something wrong, Li Zihan will be troublesome, right?
Li Zihan turned his head and asked Giacherini: "Jia Kai, how did you spend your vacation?"

Giaccellini was taken aback for a moment, and then replied honestly: "Go home and spend Christmas with your family first, and then come back to practice early."

Li Zihan curled his lips, he really is a master who won't let it go until he trains himself to death
At this time, Conte opened the door and entered the locker room and said: "Congratulations, you have finished your last day of work this year. Now most of you have planned your vacation arrangements. But my ugly words are ahead of me. You can enjoy your vacation as much as you want. But don't eat what you shouldn't eat, and don't overindulge. If I have to arrange a physical trainer to help you lose weight or something at the beginning of the new year... Huh, that's not what I asked, and you don't want to go on the court."

The players suddenly turned into bitter faces, complaining: You have said that, who dares to play as much as you want?
"You have not been professional players for a day or two, so you know most of the truth. When we win the championship, you can play however you like, even if you set fire to your house, I won't care. But this In winter, it's better to take it easy."

"Although we won the winter championship this winter, it does not mean that we will definitely win the final championship. In the history of the league, there are countless numbers of people who won the winter championship and lost the final championship. So don’t pay attention to those media’s touting that you have won the winter championship, the Football Association and the League Committee will not award us the trophy of the season championship because of this.”

"Moreover, AC Milan and Naples are only four or five points behind us, and Inter Milan is only seven points behind. So, once you relax during the winter break, the upcoming champion can only watch it fly away. In the arms of the sworn enemy."

Finally Conte waved his hand: "Now, enjoy your vacation!"

The team members ran away jokingly, and the nerves that had been tense for half a year were finally able to relax a little bit.

Li Zihan was also in a good mood. After leaving the locker room, he walked towards the dormitory.In the past six months, his life has been almost three points and one line, the Vinovo training base, the dormitory in the base, and the Juventus Arena.

Suddenly the phone rang, and he was stunned when he saw the caller ID, and then he answered the phone with a smile: "Vincenzo, what's the matter, is the injury healed, please invite me to play during the holidays?"

Iaquinta was obviously in a good mood, he said with a smile: "You really hit the mark, my injury is almost healed."

Li Zihan said in surprise: "Really?" But then he became confused: "You can make fun of me, didn't the hospital say that you basically won't get better this season?"

Iaquinta explained: "I thought it was the same, but the doctors in Milan gave me a detailed examination and treatment. They said it was a false alarm, and the old injury did not recur. I am almost fine now , but just to be on the safe side, the doctor still told me to rest for two weeks and then do some recovery training. If I want to play a game, I have to wait until February at least.”

Li Zihan said happily: "This is really great, we can fight side by side again."

Regarding Li Zihan's excitement, Iaquinta on the other end of the phone was silent.

Li Zihan waited for a few seconds but did not see Iaquinta speak. He asked, "What's the matter, Vincenzo?"

Iaquinta's voice was a little hoarse: "Sorry Li, maybe we won't have the chance to fight side by side in the future."

Li Zihan raised his voice: "Why? Are you still going to retire? Haven't you recovered from your injury?"

Iaquinta hastily explained: "It's not like that, Lee, listen to me, I may go to another team. My contract with the club will expire next summer, and I haven't renewed it. I originally planned to retire at this point." , the result is just like what you said, I am still a bit unwilling! A club contacted me two days ago, saying that they hope to introduce me. Where I have enough playing time, unlike in Juventus, just sit and go I was on the bench for half a season, and it will be another half season after I get injured. I plan to play there for a while until I can't play anymore. And I talked to Juventus club, although the contract still exists Half a year, but they also allowed me to leave this winter break and negotiate to terminate the contract in advance. Therefore, I will report to other teams in the second half of the season."

Li Zihan didn't know that Iaquinta actually wanted to transfer and leave. He always thought that Iaquinta would play in Juventus until he retired.After all, it has always been his dream to play in a wealthy club. He was 28 years old when he joined Juventus. He performed well for the first two years, but after he was 30 years old, he fell into injuries and was left on the bench. I can count on both hands.

Li Zihan was a little taken aback at first, but he quickly accepted it. He knew that in modern football, it is rare for someone to retire in a wealthy club, especially the position of striker.Even if he is as strong as Piero, he has gone to the Australian Super League. Going to other low-level national leagues or small and medium-sized teams to make money or retire is the choice of most professional players when they get older.

Li Zihan took a deep breath and asked, "Where?"

Iaquinta replied: "It's still Serie A, Cesena Club, Jacquet's former club."

Li Zihan knew about Cesena, and Giacherini contributed to Cesena's promotion to the First Division. He smiled: "Cesena, it's not far away. I can play football with you when I have time. Good voyage." , Vincenzo."

Li Zihan who hung up the phone was a little melancholy. This was the first teammate and good friend to leave him, and there will be more teammates and good friends leaving him in a steady stream in the future.There will also be many new faces joining in, and they will become new teammates, but not necessarily friends.This is professional football!
