Chapter 122 Conte's Expectations

Victor is of course somewhat reluctant to let Conte let himself go to his office as the head coach of his team.After all, Victor didn't commit any violation of team discipline.Then, the head coach asked Victor to go to his office. Victor guessed that the reason was to ask about his current way of playing football.

Who makes Victor's current game, although he starts every time, it can be seen that Antonio Conte has high hopes for Victor.After all, on the forward line, Iaquinta, Qualilarella, and veteran Tony are all 18-man squads that have been excluded by Conte.And also inform them that they can go to find the next home.

And the team's old captain, although Del Piero is in the 18-man roster.However, more time is sitting on the bench.In addition, Vucinic and the newly joined team can be regarded as the team's "newcomers," and Matri basically played in rotation.Only Victor seems to be Conte's "unshakeable" choice on the front line?

However, it has been a long time since Victor scored a goal last time.During these times, Juventus also faced many opponents.If we say that these games all ended 0-0, or just one or two goals combined by both sides.Seems like Victor still has something to say in his defense.

However, look at the score.Looking at the players who scored goals, there is a joke in online fan forums that "Victor left his goal boots in the locker room while he was recovering from his injuries, and then he was picked up by the newly joined team Matri and Vucinic picked up one. So that explains why Vucinic and Matri, who played in turn, scored goals, while Victor, who was always starting and had a lot of game time, didn't score."

However, although this is a joke.But it also shows that Victor's current "situation" is not easy.And Victor himself is very clear in his heart that for a striker, scoring goals is "the last word." However, for a striker who has served as a starter for a long time and has not short time in each game.No goals were scored, no assists were given to the team, and even the role and contribution to the team's offense was almost negligible.It seems that the only effect seems to be to allow the team to meet the 11-man rule.

This makes the head coach of Juventus, Antonio Conte, who has high hopes on Victor, how can he not be "distressed." After all, in terms of age, Victor is currently the youngest Juventus striker.Compared with those teenagers in the Juventus youth team and Immobile who was on loan, Victor's previous "resume" is enough for them to look up to.

Therefore, Victor went to Conte's office anyway.However, I went there with trepidation in my heart.

Victor came to this office more than once. In the previous era of Ferrara, Victor was put on the youth team and the bench by Ferrara. Victor didn’t have any complaints, and he didn’t look for Ferrara, so he didn’t come at that time. Pass.Later, during the period of Zaccheroni and Del Neri, Victor came.Especially during Del Neri's period.Victor took the initiative to find Del Neri and took the initiative to "invite him" to play in the last game of the Europa League group match against Manchester City.

And it was that game that caused Victor, who was in a bad physical condition and strained his thigh muscle, to be injured during the game.This led to a fracture of the calf and was reimbursed for the season.The subsequent impact also caused Victor to fall into the current situation.

Therefore, Victor, who was full of trepidation, walked behind the door of Antonio Conte's office.First he stopped, and then he wanted to raise his hand and knock on the door.But as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly put it down again.

Take a few deep breaths to stabilize your thoughts.Then, Victor raised his hand again and knocked a few times on the door with the sign "Manager" on it, which now belonged to Antonio Conte's office.

"Please come in." The voice from inside was the voice of the current owner of this office, Antonio Conte.

Victor pushed open the door and walked into Antonio Conte's office.The first thing I saw was the layout of the office. In Victor's eyes, it seemed that it was not much different from the layout in Del Neri's time.It's just that those sofas and desks have been replaced.

Although there was nothing serious about it, the desks, sofas and the like that Del Neri had used before would certainly not get old anytime soon.However, using the things left by my "previous" person, I will feel a little uncomfortable anyway.

Therefore, it is estimated that Conte does not need to raise it himself.The person in charge of the team's logistics department should also leave the team only after Del Neri, and immediately replace these things with new ones.

And secondly, Viktor saw right away that he was not sitting in front of the desk, but sitting in front of the desk, on the sofa that was used for entertaining guests, or for relaxing.The current Juventus coach, Antonio Conte, faced Victor who had just walked in the door.

Then, another voice that was very familiar to Victor immediately sounded,

"Ciao! Vito!"

Only then did Victor notice that in Conte's office, besides himself and Antonio Conte.There was another person sitting.And this person is now sitting on the sofa next to Conte, and he is now turning around to look at Victor.

"Ciao! Alessandro." Yes, that person is Victor's "teacher," who guided Victor into the Juventus team when he first joined the team.And coaching Victor carefully, developing Victor into Del Piero, a player who seemed to have a bright future until last season's injury.

"Vito, sit here." Antonio Conte pointed to the other side of him, a single sofa, and said to Victor.And the location of this sofa happens to be facing Del Piero.

"Okay, boss." Victor nodded, after answering Conte's words.Then he walked to the sofa pointed by Conte.First, he pulled the sofa back a little bit, and then sat on it.However, the way Victor is sitting is not as casual as Conte and Del Piero.On the contrary, he seemed a little cautious.

However, Conte and Del Piero didn't seem to notice this, and the two continued to chat for a while about the topic between them.It is nothing more than the nostalgia for the two people who were teammates when Lippi was in charge at that time, and the nostalgia for the "Bianconeri" that swept the Apennine Peninsula and the entire European continent.

After that, the two seemed to finish talking about each other.Then, Conte turned his attention to Victor first, while Del Piero picked up the coffee cup in his hand and stood up.

"Victor, it seems that these few games you..."

"Oh, boss." After hearing these phrases from Conte, Victor stood up from his uncomfortable sofa.Then he said directly:
"Boss, I know I haven't performed well in the past few games. I will try my best to recover, please give me some time."

In this way, Victor, even if Conte wants to say something to Victor, but when he sees Victor's expression that seems to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time.Immediately and involuntarily, he was frightened by Victor first.Then he laughed again, and said to Victor:
"Relax, take it easy Victor. I'm not asking you to go to war."

And Del Piero, who poured himself a cup of coffee, held another cup of coffee for Victor in his hand.First, put the cup of coffee on the tea table in front of Victor.Then he also smiled, and at the same time patted Victor's shoulder with his hand, and said:
"Relax, Victor. Let's have a cup of coffee. Antonio's office has good coffee, he picked it himself."

"Hi, Alessandro." Conte, who heard Del Piero's words, seemed to be a little feigned dissatisfaction with this former teammate, but now his own player.

"I'm telling the truth, you weren't like this before..." Del Piero sat back in his seat after "comforting" Victor.And Victor also sat down again, but he was still as restrained and nervous as before.

"Okay," Conte stopped the topic that seemed a little funny, then turned his head, continued to look at Victor, and then continued what he hadn't finished talking just now:

"Victor, yes, you have played these few games. But I don't want to talk about the reasons for your games. In fact, I can see your running on the court. I just want to ask you, why did you play this season? Will there be such a big change?"

After Conte finished his questioning, Victor immediately understood what Conte meant.However, before Victor could answer.Del Piero's voice sounded immediately:
"Antonio meant that he was like me, but Victor, I don't mean to say anything. You know I was in 1998 by Marco Zanzi, who was at Udine and became our teammate. … Didn’t you still persist after that?”

"Alessandro...I..."

After Victor heard Del Piero's words, he immediately didn't know what to say.In fact, Victor's reason was that he was worried that he would be injured again.That's why I considered transforming into a spot-grabbing striker.

However, Del Piero had finished speaking, and Antonio Conte's voice continued:

"Actually, Philip (Inzaghi) has also suffered many injuries, his two knees, and his spine..." Conte paused for a moment, and then looked at the man with an uncertain expression on his face. Victor, then went on to say:

"As a professional player, no matter where you are, you can't escape injuries. The best way to stay away from injuries is to strengthen your physical confrontation ability. It is also impossible to blindly avoid confrontation. things. After all, this is football."

Speaking of this, Victor really didn’t know what to say. The current Victor looked like a teacher who was reprimanded by the teacher with his head down and his clothes rolled up, although he didn’t use the language of reprimand. corner, like an elementary school student looking at the floor in front of him.

So, Antonio Conte finally reached out and patted Victor on the shoulder.Then went on to say:

"I hope you can find the original Victor. I believe that returning to the original Victor will not be weaker than the two players in Madrid and Barcelona."
