Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 8 Zhihao's Ambition

In the morning of the next day, the youth training camp was closed and normal training began.

Father Wen stayed with his son for two days before returning home in a hurry.He still has business in China, so he can't help his son too much here.Just before leaving, he told his son to take care of himself, and said that he found an Italian teacher for his son at a local language school, and he came to have a class once a week.I want my son to learn Italian as soon as possible.

Wen Zhihao naturally had no objection to this.He himself also found it difficult to communicate with these local teammates without knowing Italian.

In the morning, a simple restorative physical training was carried out. Unsurprisingly, Wen Zhihao once again demonstrated his super abnormal physical fitness. The 4*100 back-and-forth run once again crushed the whole team, which attracted the attention of his teammates. His roommate Sarson, who had already had a good relationship with Wen Zhihao, even joked that Wen Zhihao was "a Chinese with three lungs."

After training in the morning, the whole team went to the cafeteria of the youth training camp for lunch at noon.This was Wen Zhihao's first real meal here, but when he got his food, he was completely shocked: it was very different from the recipes in domestic clubs, there was no high-calorie fried chicken nuggets with cake and cheese here, only a whole piece of steak, a salad platter with both vegetables and fruits, and a plate of pasta that seemed to have no condiments, but was absolutely satisfying.

For Wen Zhihao, who comes from the gourmet kingdom of China, such food naturally makes him quite speechless.But people are like iron and like steel, for the training in the afternoon, Wen Zhihao still gritted his teeth and wiped out everything in front of him.

After lunch, Wen Zhihao originally wanted to go back to the dormitory for a lunch break to recharge his batteries, but the head coach Nuri suddenly came to him, bringing a middle-aged man who was about 1.8 meters tall that he had never seen before.

"Wen, let's get acquainted. This is the club's youth training director, Nazzo Perry. He wants to talk to you." Nouri pointed to Nazzo beside him.

Wen Zhihao was taken aback, and quickly got up to show his respect.He said slightly cautiously: "Hello sir!"

However, Nazuo looked at Wen Zhihao first, and then showed a satisfied smile. He nodded to Nuri beside him and said, "Haha, he is indeed a good boy. It seems that my decision is correct. Hey, old man, you have to work harder. Whether our Inter Milan can produce another Biabiani in the future depends on you!"

After finishing speaking, Nazuo turned around, smiled at Wen Zhihao and said, "Oh, kid, don't be nervous, sit down, sit down. I have some questions I want to talk to you about."

Wen Zhihao smiled stiffly and sat down slowly.His eyes were always looking at Nazuo with a kind face. After all, the person in front of him was a senior executive of the club. It should be his honor to see him alone.

Nazuo smiled slightly and asked casually: "I heard from Nuri that you staged a seven-second counter-attack in yesterday's training match. Do you know that since the start of our internal match, you are the first person to have such a miraculous performance. Very good!"

Wen Zhihao smiled embarrassingly, and said modestly: "It's the credit of my teammates, I'm just lucky."

Unexpectedly, Nazuo frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked unexpectedly: "Young man, do you know what is the most important thing on the football field?"

Wen Zhihao was taken aback, and asked tentatively: "Sir, is it technology? Physical ability? Or consciousness?"

Nazuo shook his head, and slowly spit out two words: "Confidence!"

Wen Zhihao's eyes widened by two points, obviously surprised by this answer.

Nazzo looked as expected, took a deep breath, and continued: "Do you know why there are so many comebacks in football? Look at Manchester United in the 1999 Champions League final, Liverpool's Istanbul miracle in 2005, and France's five-star Brazil in the 2006 World Cup quarter-finals. How strong are their opponents? Are Solskjaer, Gerrard and Henry much more skilled than their opponents? Or is it Ferguson, Benitez and Domenech? The level of coaching crushing opponents? No! Neither. Behind these reversal lore enough to be recorded in history, what is more important is confidence!"

"Son, I know that modesty is a virtue in your Chinese culture, but you have to remember that football is a man's sport. On the football field, there are only warriors who fight. When you face an opponent stronger than you, only confidence, indestructible, and inexhaustible self-confidence can support you to fight to the end. A person without confidence cannot become the pinnacle of the field, and he is not even worthy of standing on the field!"

"One more thing, kid, remember." Nazuo cleared his throat, and continued: "There is no need for gentlemen on the football field, and there is no need to think about the spirit of fair play. Football is not a sport, but a war! Standing in front of you is an enemy who is ready to block your throat with a sword at any time. At this time, you can only choose to be like a coward and be tolerant. Or be like a beast and be cruel!"

Having said this, Nazuo's voice stopped abruptly, but Wen Zhihao felt that the blood factor in his whole body was ignited.On the football field, you can either be patient or——cruel!
"Okay, let's talk about you." Nazuo spoke at the right time, bringing the topic to Wen Zhihao. "I understand the current football situation in your country. There are not many good seedlings like you who have the opportunity to train in Europe. Boy, I want to know, what do you think about your future career?"

"I want to be the name card of Chinese football going to the world!" Wen Zhihao almost blurted out.

"Oh? How do you say it?" Nazuo smiled deeper and was very interested in Wen Zhihao's answer.

"They are all Asians. South Korea had Park Ji-sung in the past, and Sun Xingmin in the future can gain a foothold in Europe. Japan has Keisuke Honda and Nagatomo who can make a splash in Milan. Why can't the Chinese? It's not fair! Sir, I am here to prove that the Chinese can also play football well and gain a foothold in Europe!" Wen Zhihao expressed his ambition emotionally.

In fact, this wish has been rooted in Zhihao's heart for a long time, and Wen Zhihao's goal was further strengthened by the stimulation of Nazuo's words earlier.

Two years ago, 11-year-old Zhihao followed the echelon team of Genbao Base to participate in a youth football invitational tournament abroad. At the same time, teams from neighboring Japan and South Korea also participated.Zhihao, who was still young at that time, obviously felt that the organizing committee respected the football boys from Japan and South Korea from the bottom of their hearts, while they treated the Chinese boys in the Genbao echelon, although they were very polite on the surface, but in fact they just ignored them and dealt with them.This is the first time Zhihao feels the difference in attitude brought about by his strength.And this difference, Zhihao experienced it again from the parents who watched the game yesterday.These two experiences deeply hurt Zhihao's young self-esteem, and also inspired his fighting spirit.

Look down on Chinese football?Hehe, I want you to see how the Chinese changed the pattern of European football!

When it comes to Portuguese football, Ronaldo comes to mind; when it comes to Argentine football, Messi is always the topic.Hmph, one day, if I want the whole world to talk about Chinese football, I must first talk about me—Wen Zhihao!

　PS: As an old fan of the national football team, Xiao Li sincerely hopes that there will be Chinese players who can shock Europe in the future.Best of luck to Zhang Yuning in Bremen!
