Chapter 8: A day at the training base

Li Zihan, who relies on these data, firmly believes that he will evolve into a "coquettish", but the old man is lucky today, and the old man who is in a good mood actually told him that these data can be increased
And there are these typical Chinese-colored "cards", so I must be invincible. Who is my opponent in world football from now on?

At this moment, Li Zihan couldn't help but think, could it be that God, the old man, got lucky and gave birth to himself?

Li Zihan, who was so excited, almost stayed up all night, so that when he came to the training ground the next day, he had dark circles under his eyes and was out of breath, and he was late.

Assistant coach Massimo Carrera frowned at Li Zihan in this state, and he came to Li Zihan with a straight face: "Li, did you get carried away with yesterday's performance? You were late for the first training session." Yes, and still like this, let me tell you that there are many people who are better than you."

Carrera pointed to Quagliarella, Vucinic, Bonucci and others who had already arrived on the field and shouted: "They are all stars, their abilities are very good, their wages and value are very high , but they are never late for training, and they never come to training with dark circles."

"So, if you don't want to go to the reserve team or the youth training team, just be serious with me. This is Juventus, not a playground. Your punishment is to run fifteen laps, now!"

Li Zihan was extremely depressed, he came a little late, he was too excited last night and didn't rest, as for that!

Depressed to be depressed, Li Zihan went to run laps honestly.There is no way except for old Conte, Massimola is the boss on the training ground, and he can't please him if he fights against the boss. He still understands this.

"Hurry up! I'm telling you to run around. It's not a morning walk to see the scenery. If you don't want to play football, get out of here. There are many people who want to come to the Juventus first team position, even if they are substitutes!"

Hearing Carrera's roar from the sidelines, Li Zihan gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and moved his legs vigorously.

The Juventus players who witnessed this scene on the sidelines laughed and gloated.They are usually tortured by Massimo. On the training ground, Massimo is a mad dog. He will "bully" anyone who does not perform well. training team.

And the old Conte also supports Larera, so these football stars who have a lot of glory outside are like hellokitty as soon as they arrive at the training base.

Li Zihan heard the ridicule and teasing from the players on the sidelines. They spoke Italian, so Li Zihan didn't understand what his teammates were saying, but he was not angry at all.

Because this is a good sign and can help him integrate into the group faster.It is quite rare to know that I came to Juventus as a substitute at such a young age, and played 45 minutes in the first game.

They don't understand themselves, and they won't accept themselves. It can be seen from the few passes they gave themselves in yesterday's game. They would not pass the ball to themselves if they had no choice.

After all, I am so young and have never worked with them before, so it is normal not to be trusted.

Don't look at Li Zihan, but he has seen a lot of people and things in the society since he was a child, so he is more precocious than ordinary classmates and understands the importance of a group.

"Football is a sport for eleven people", the middle-aged uncle who took him with him when he first started learning to play football said to him.

When Li Zihan was sweating at the Vinovo training base, there was already a lot of noise outside.

"L'Equipe" Serie A column reported yesterday's Juventus vs. Parma match report with the title "Zebra Clown's Clumsy Performance": Juventus teenager Li Zihan came off the bench in the second half, and finally assisted two goals and scored one goal. Elected the best player of the game.After the game, Li Zihan, who was elected the best player in the top league for the first time, pointed out that Juventus will successfully defend the title this season, and the Milan duo will be the stepping stones for his rise.

At the end of the article is the author Sanchez's comment: From Li Zihan's arrogant tone, it can be seen that he is still very young, thinking that he can be elected as the World Footballer with an occasional flash.Perhaps for this young player whose name was unknown in the entire Italian football world before yesterday, this game will become his eternal glory.

Even the blind can see the deliberate attack in the article, but it’s a pity that our Li Zihan children’s shoes have no spare money to buy newspapers. You must know that he only had 300 yuan in his pocket before yesterday. After yesterday’s game, the elated old Conte temporarily One month's salary was advanced to him.

So Mr. Sanchez's text offensive was in vain. As for other Italian fans, players, and everyone related to football, the first reaction was: "WhoistheLiZiHan?"

And other newspapers mentioned this game here and there, all of which were like panacea: "The defending champion Juventus fell behind by two goals in the first half and almost stumbled; In the end, it was a thrilling [-]-[-] and got a good start to the season."

Then the article mentioned the outstanding Asian teenager Li, and then it was nothing.

Because there's something more eye-catching than that, and that's the underdog.There were two big upsets in the first round of the season.

AC Milan lost 1:0 to Sampdoria at home at the San Siro Stadium, and Serie A Blue Eagles Lazio also lost 1:0 to Atalanta at the Atleti Stadium.

Unpopularity has always attracted attention, so most of the media's coverage has been "monopolized" by the four teams in these two games.

Only the local newspaper media in Turin City focused on this competition, and the specific information of Li Zihan, the best player in the competition, was exposed by the media.

"Li Zihan, a Chinese exchange student at the Polytechnic University of Turin, just joined the Bianconeri at the beginning of the season. He signed a temporary contract for one year, with a weekly salary of [-] euros. He signed the contract at the Juventus youth training camp. Due to his excellent physical condition, he was an exception by Antonio Kong. Dee 'step on the bench'."

As the sun was setting, Li Zihan, who had finished training for a day, was walking back to the dormitory.Wipe the hair that is not very long with a towel while walking, so that the water stains on it will dry faster, so that it is not easy to catch a cold.

Although there is a very good golden finger cheating device, Li Zihan is also working hard in the training ground.

Li Zihan still feels a little guilty for playing games and opening cheats, so even though he is very good at playing games, he is determined not to open cheats.

The same is true for this football cheater, so he wants to "redeem" by training hard.

Back in the dormitory, Li Zihan took out his mobile phone and opened the address book. There were only two numbers in it, one of which belonged to coach Conte.

The last business card shows "Mom", which is the phone number of Li Chunhua, the director of the orphanage where he works.After staring at the screen for a long time, he finally dialed the phone.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
Listening to the waiting tone from the microphone, Li Zihan felt nervous and happy at the same time.

"Which one?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mama Li, it's me, Zihan..." Hearing that familiar and friendly voice, Li Zihan felt as if something was about to flow out of his eyes.

"Wow, Zihan? I heard that you have passed the university entrance examination. What can you do? Let me tell you, concentrate on studying, don't be so naughty (naughty). Your baby (you) is not young anymore, you know It's over."

"Don't cause trouble when you are outside, don't be afraid of trouble if you have something to do, you are already a man, you have to be a man's responsibility, and you should pay attention to your health when you are outside alone, eat better, and tell Mama Li if you don't have enough money. Now, I can no longer be taken care of by the yard (orphanage), but I am still your Li Mashi."

Li Chunhua is a typical Sichuanese. She can't even speak ordinary words, but when she meets a child from her orphanage, she always talks endlessly.

A few years ago, when Li Zihan heard these almost same words, she felt that Li's mother at that time was very verbose, and she often covered her ears impatiently.

A few years later, he became mature when he was wandering alone outside, knowing that it was Li Ma who cared about him, but now he doesn't think it's long-winded, he thinks it's a mother's love for her child.

"Mm Li, I'm here abroad and I'm studying here." Although tears filled Li Zihan's eyes, he still tried his best to suppress his choked voice.

In fact, he lied. He didn't go to university. The Politecnico di Torino did have his file, but he took a leave of absence because he wanted to play football full-time.

"Really?? Which country? Is your tuition enough? Do you have living expenses? I'll go and collect some money for you..." Li Ma on the other end of the phone was very excited, and her voice suddenly became louder.

"Really, Mama Li, in Italy, the tuition fee is waived by the school, and there are scholarships, and I usually work part-time. It is easy for foreign students to earn money here, and the boss is also very nice.

"Where is Italy (where)? Is there a big iron frame there? What are you doing?" Li Ma kept asking questions.

Hearing Mama Li's first question, Li Zihan was just about to answer it, but when she heard her second question, he burst out laughing. He knew that his Mama Li was an out-and-out "honest" farmer from Chengdu, and he had traveled the furthest in his life. The best places may be the cities of Mianyang and Deyang around Chengdu, not to mention foreign countries.

"No, it's in a country with Rome and Milan. I'm helping a football team on the school side and doing some small work."

"Oh yes, don't you (don't) kick someone's window glass with a ball again. I heard that foreign things are very expensive. If you break it, you won't be able to pay for it." The kid is worried.
