Chapter 157
As of the end of November, Zhang Teng has completed all the commercial shooting tasks, and the commercial affairs have finally come to an end temporarily, and the subsequent release matters have nothing to do with Zhang Teng.

At the same time, great changes have also taken place at the club level of AC Milan. The head coach Montella was announced to dismiss get out of class early because of the team's poor record, and was replaced by Italian football star Gattuso.

The highlight period of Gattuso's player era was basically spent in the AC Milan club, and he can be described as a diehard fan of AC Milan.

After retiring now, Gattuso has coached in Serie B and Serie C for many years, and has also accumulated rich coaching experience.

Now that the club is in a difficult situation, it has decided to let Gattuso be the head coach of the team. In addition to wanting to use Gattuso's tenacious fighting spirit on the court to drive the team out of the current predicament, they still want to It is necessary to show a feeling for the fan group, a memory of past glory.

However, in Zhang Teng's view, no matter how good Gattuso's personal coaching ability is, as long as he is as stubborn as Montella, he will still be fired by the club in the end.

After all, as long as Zhang Teng's cannon is on the field, it means leading the opponent by a goal, but there are always people who don't know how to make good use of this inherent 1-0 attribute, which will inevitably lead to the consequences of getting out of class.

The first meeting between Gattuso and the players was naturally on the training ground. Although Gattuso looked fierce at the time, the players could understand it. After all, his title of "midfield meat grinder" is not If you come here casually, if you don't have such a fierce look, how can you restrain the opponent's players.

It's just that Gattuso is now the head coach, and his tone of voice is naturally more gentle. He has been smiling and chatting with the players for more than ten minutes, and finally let the assistant coach lead the players to start a daily routine. training activities.

However, after the players dispersed, Gattuso deliberately left Zhang Teng alone, wanting to talk alone.

In the initial chat between the two, Gattuso originally only had a preliminary understanding of Zhang Teng's status in the team, but soon, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Actually, I talked to Lippi on the phone yesterday. gone."

Zhang Teng didn't answer, but just looked at Gattuso in surprise.

Gattuso followed with a pleasing and affectionate look, and said: "Actually, Lippi and I just called to learn about your personal characteristics on the court. After all, I am new here. If I want to get results as soon as possible, I have to rely on you." Because of the good performance of the players on the field, and you have played so well with the national team, so I had to ask Lippi some questions about you."

"Oh...and then?" Zhang Teng just replied lightly, and then threw the topic to Gattuso.

Gattuso smiled and said: "Lipi suggested that I put you in the full-back position, so that you can show your full potential, is that so?"

Zhang Teng nodded and said, "That's right, but what do you think?"

Gattuso paused for a while, then walked back and forth a few steps, as if he was worried, but he never directly answered Zhang Teng's question.

Seeing this, Zhang Teng smiled and said, "Coach, can't you just do what you think? Why are you so melancholy?"

Only then did Gattuso stop and said, "Your reputation is almost a household name in Longguo, so the club executives also gave me an order, and they hoped that I would increase your number of appearances..."

"Okay, I understand," Zhang Teng immediately interrupted Gattuso's words, because it was obvious from Gattuso's words that this guy did not recognize Zhang Teng's strength so much. And now talking with Zhang Teng is all about finding a suitable position on the court for Zhang Teng, so that he can complete the political tasks assigned to him by the club.

But in Zhang Teng's heart, he naturally wanted to get the recognition of the team through his own efforts. It's really not good to be taken care of by the club to get special care.

Although the club wants to attract more Longguo fans to join the AC Milan fan camp by increasing Zhang Teng's number of appearances, and Zhang Teng's more than a dozen brand endorsements also hope that Zhang Teng can shine in the club, so that they The endorsement fees spent can be worth more than money.

It seems that Zhang Teng has entered a situation where he can't help himself. In addition to the club wanting to attract fans through his performance on the field, the dozen or so brand manufacturers also have some kind of advertising agreement with AC Milan. Perhaps the agreement really stipulated that Zhang Teng's appearances must meet a certain level before they would discuss the sponsorship fee with the club.

In other words, even if Zhang Teng is an average player now, he will definitely be able to get enough appearances for AC Milan, because the advertising value on him is enough for anyone to work hard for him.

But no matter how the capital works, Zhang Teng no longer cares about it now. He just gets everyone's recognition and affirmation through his own efforts, and uses one goal after another to stop everyone's mouths. After all, the eyes of the masses are discerning. Yes, whether Zhang Teng has enough strength to dominate the football world is left to the public to comment.

What's more, if Zhang Teng's performance in the club is really poor, he will be sorry to so many fans and friends who love him. This is the last thing Zhang Teng wants to see.

So at the end of the conversation, Zhang Teng only left one sentence for Gattuso: "I will use every victory to keep your position, don't worry."

After hearing this, Gattuso's face was not very good-looking, but he finally promised: "I will use the 4-3-3 formation in the next game. This is what Lippi told me."

Zhang Teng turned his head and said contemptuously: "This is very good, otherwise you will end up like Montella."

An angry look appeared on Gattuso's face, but fortunately only he and Zhang Teng were present at the moment, and no third person heard Zhang Teng say such impolite words to him, so he didn't explode completely , but nodded, and said: "Then you can prove it to me."

On December 12, AC Milan's away game against Benevento officially started.

As expected, Gattuso formed a 4-3-3 formation in this game, while Zhang Teng played the right back position in this game.

This is the position Zhang Teng is most familiar with, and it is also the position where he can give full play to his strength. For all the bad things in the club in the past, as well as Gattuso's various doubts about himself, Zhang Teng will completely give it to him from this game. They look good.
