Greenery on the back

Chapter 444
Yue Feng was quite surprised to see his teammates dressed in red, and even a few of them wore Tang suits from Huaguo.

When he was in the Inter Milan youth training camp last year, he also saw a similar situation, but that was because the owner of Inter Milan was from China, and many staff members in the club were from China, so it was understandable.

But Empoli has no such tradition, and only Yue Feng in the team has the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival.

Even if the teammates wanted to celebrate the festival for themselves, the battle was too big, right?
Ranocchia looked back at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Yue, we're going to shoot a short video of blessings for the Huaguo fans in a while. You just need to give everyone a head start. I've taught them how to say it."

"We also have Chinese fans?" According to Yue Feng, Empoli is not well-known in China.

"It wasn't there before," Ranocchia smiled awkwardly, "Since you came, the number of fans from China has skyrocketed."

"There are still many Huaguo enterprises sponsoring and investing in us. Yue, it seems that your role is not only on the court!"

Ranocchia doesn't know much about business. In fact, when Empoli rented Yue Feng and Uchida Maren, it was not entirely to help Inter Milan train new players, but also wanted to take the opportunity to open up the East Asian market.

These two people did play this role, especially Yue Feng, allowing Empoli to quickly expand his influence in China.

For the club, the number of fans is real money, and advertising sponsorships are all based on these.

The chairman of Empoli, Fabrizio Cosi, also began planning to use Huaguo Capital to help the team gain a firm foothold in Serie A in the future.

Yue Feng also understands the team's practice of currying favor with Huaguo fans.After all, Huaguo Market is the biggest cake in the world.

For Empoli, a small town of only 4 people, a small piece of cream on the cake is enough to feed them for a year.

"Mr. Ranocchia, do you need me to guide you?" Yue Feng was a little worried about the video taken by the coach and teammates.

If this kind of thing is shot incorrectly or badly, it will be a laughing stock and have a negative effect.

And the negativity of the team will naturally affect him, Yue Feng himself.

"No need," Ranocchia waved his hand, "I know this one well, look!"

After speaking, he shouted the command slogan to the team members.

"1, 2, 3, start!"

I saw Luca, Mateucci and other players clasped their fists, put their left hands on top of their right hands, and shouted in unison in unproficient Chinese dialect:

"Happy Chinese New Year! Golden pigs send blessings!"

Yue Feng's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect Ranocchia to be able to do this.

2031 is the Year of the Pig in the lunar calendar. Most foreigners may know about the Spring Festival in China, but they rarely even think of the Chinese zodiac.

At this time, I only heard Ranocchia continue to say: "On behalf of the entire Empoli team, I wish the fans and friends of Huaguo a happy new year and all the best! Thank you for your support!"

Ranocchia continued to speak such a long section of Huaguo dialect, which made Yue Feng even more surprised.

After seeing the surprise in the other party's eyes, Ranocchia smiled and said: "I used to do this when I was playing in Inter Milan, and the door is clear."

The three words "Men'erqing" were also spoken by Ranocchia in Huaguo dialect.

After hearing this, Yue Feng smiled knowingly, wondering which Huaguo staff member taught him this.

As the first Serie A giant team controlled by Chinese capital, Inter Milan has made great efforts in cultivating the fan market in China.

It's also a New Year's greeting video. Other clubs will only say common sayings such as "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy Chinese Year" and "Happy Chinese Year", but Nokia can already say a set of things here.

Due to the tight competition, Yue Feng did not return to China for the New Year this year, but chose to stay with the team to continue training.

With the miraculous recovery internal strength of "retracting clouds and mists", he can double or triple the amount of training that others usually do, and his body can bear it.

Coupled with his unique Cuju skills, as well as his self-discipline and willpower beyond ordinary people, he can grow into a top player in Serie B in just a few years after time travel.

Now Ranocchia has full trust in Yue Feng. With him, the Serie B team is almost sure to win every game, and even the Serie A giants have the strength to break the wrist.

After the winter break, another good news came from within the Empoli club.

The team made a big investment in the transfer window and brought in a strong player from the Bundesliga.

Former Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, 36, has joined Empoli.

This Gretzka can play multiple positions in the midfield, and has outstanding abilities on both ends of the offense and defense.

Although he is getting older and his overall strength has declined, he is still a god-like figure for a Serie B team like Empoli.

This strong support is also the preparation made by Empoli chairman Fabrizio Cosi for next season's Serie A campaign.

And Gretzka also wants to use Empoli as a springboard to enter the Serie A stage in the second half of the year and return to the five major leagues.

This is a win-win deal.

In Empoli, the German player chose his favorite number 18 jersey.

The addition of Gretzka has really enhanced Empoli's weak midfield strength.

The existing main midfield players Rich, Thomas and others are embarrassed at both ends of the offense and defense, and most of the time they have to rely on Yue Feng to support them.

But with this German player, Polly's strength has been greatly improved, and Yue Feng can also concentrate on playing the left side.

At the welcome ceremony, the Empoli fans were enthusiastic.

The Bundesliga strong support momentarily overshadowed Yue Feng, who had contributed a lot to the team.

However, Yue Feng didn't care. It's a good thing that the team has a strong support, and it doesn't conflict with his position. There is no need to be jealous about this kind of thing.

But Gretzka didn't think so. He condescended to come to a small team like Empoli, so he naturally had to control all the resources on the field.

He has to be the boss of the team.

Although he is an airborne master, Gretzka's performance against Chievo was not so satisfactory.

Originally playing 352, Empoli's offense mainly relied on two wings, but Gretzka, who was the team's central midfielder, had to start from the center.

This allowed Chievo to understand the opponent's characteristics, and took corresponding measures to successfully limit Gretzka's performance.

When he was young, Gretzka could have used his personal ability to overpower his opponents, but now that he is an elderly player, he is getting more and more powerless. Instead, because of a reckless attack, Feilu seized the opportunity to score a goal.

In the end, it was Yue Feng who helped the team correct the mistake in time.

After he grabbed the ball, he put Empoli's offensive focus on the wing again.

Yue Feng and Uchida Maren frequently lobped the ball from the two wings to the middle, which allowed the team to finally reverse the opponent with a score of 2-1.

"Leon, we can't play like this. I hope you can follow the predetermined tactics." Ranocchia expressed dissatisfaction with Gretzka after the game.

"Hey, Andrea, I think your tactics should revolve around me, I'm the strongest in the team, isn't it?" Gretzka retorted.
