Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kungfu

Italy, Milan.

Here is the world's fashion art center, the world's design capital, the world's famous historical and cultural city, and one of the four major economic centers in Europe.

The city is located on the Lombardy Plain in northern Italy, with a permanent population of about 147 million and an area of ​​about 181 square kilometers.

Shi Xiaoyu dragged his suitcase and walked out of Milan International Airport.

There is no welcome from fans, and no long guns and short guns from reporters and media.

At the airport where many tourists and business people come and go, no one pays attention to this yellow-skinned, black-haired 17-year-old boy.

"What a bright sun."

Ye Chen raised his head and squinted his eyes, letting Milan's bright sunshine sway in his eyes.

This is Ye Chen's first time in Milan.

He is going to report to Inter Milan's Appiano Gentile training base.

This time Ye Chen was able to come to Inter Milan, and he also entrusted Green, the U17 assistant coach of Manchester United.

It was the night when Green knew that Ye Chen was about to be terminated by Manchester United.

Green called Chivu, the head coach of the Inter Milan youth team, overnight.

When Chivu learned that Ye Chen was terminated by Manchester United.

Surprised on the phone.

"What? The boy who shot us from a long distance was actually terminated by you?"

"Green, you Manchester United really have so many talents that there is no place to put them, you can't!"

On the day of the match between Inter Milan and the Manchester United youth team, Chivu, as the coach of the Inter Milan youth team, witnessed Ye Chen's lore with his own eyes.

He was so angry that his teeth itched.

He also teased Lisch, saying that he didn't know where he dug such a powerful baby.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this kid was terminated by Manchester United.

"Chivu, this kid has no place to go now," Green said sincerely on the phone, "Can you bring him to the Inter Milan youth team? I think he has great potential!"

Faced with Green's request, Chivu agreed almost instantly.

There was no hesitation.

Isn't this cheap for nothing!

The Romanian was Inter Milan's left-back during the Triple Crown in 2010.

When he was a player, his style of play was elegant, and he was capable of both midfielder and defender.

Chivu's perspective on players is completely different from Solskjaer's.

He believes that although modern football emphasizes the versatility of players.

But players who are too versatile will eventually lose their own characteristics.

Sometimes, you can do everything, but you are not good at everything. On the court, it is not something to praise!

On the contrary, a player with distinctive characteristics like Ye Chen is the type that Chivu admires very much.

Chivu was afraid that the ducks in his mouth would run away, so he quickly said to Green on the phone:

"Let that kid come to Milan immediately. Is the ticket money enough? If not, I will reimburse him. Don't let him run away!"

The taxi took Ye Chen and drove in downtown Milan.

Ye Chen discovered that the cities in southern Europe are completely different from those in northern Europe.

In Milan in August, the highest temperature still exceeds [-] degrees, just like the verdant green plants on the windowsill of the apartment on the street, filled with the enthusiasm of southern Europe.

And Italian women also have a lot of black or brown hair, which is not the same as in the UK, where women are all blonde.

Ye Chen got out of the taxi and walked to the gate of the Appiano Base.

"Hey, stop!"

A tall young man over 1.9 meters tall and wearing a security uniform made a pause gesture to Ye Chen.

It looks like it should be the guard of the training ground.

Ye Chen couldn't understand Italian, so he just looked at him blankly.

"canyouspeakenglish?"

"Stop!" The security guard immediately switched to English, "Tourists stop, tourists stop, today's training base is not open to the public!"

He waved his hand at Ye Chen with a serious expression.

Ye Chen listened and smiled knowingly.

It turned out that the security guy regarded Ye Chen as a foreign tourist who came here for fame.

This is understandable.

Although in recent years, due to the domestic economic environment in Italy, Serie A has declined a lot.

It is far from the 90s and [-]s, the small world that Huaxia fans talk about.

But in any case, Inter Milan, a football club with 18 Serie A titles and 3 Champions League titles, is already well-known in world football.

Every year, many foreign tourists come to Milan specially to visit the club.

Many people also came to Inter Milan's training ground, the Appiano base.

However, the training base is generally not open to tourists. Even journalists must have an appointment before they can enter.

The security guard looked at Ye Chen's young age, so he didn't look like a reporter at first glance.

Ye Chen was still dragging large and small bags, because he left in a hurry, and the economy class on the plane was also crowded, so he flew down after a meal, with messy clothes and messy hair.

It really looks like a foreign tourist who came to Inter Milan's training base for a pilgrimage just after getting off the airport and didn't even settle in the hotel.

Ye Chen smiled and said to the security guy:

"Hi, my name is Ye Chen, I'm not a tourist, I'm a player, here to sign with the Inter Milan youth team."

The security guy was taken aback, and looked Ye Chen up and down.

He is of medium build, not very strong, and has thick dark circles on his face.

This is because Ye Chen knew he was coming to Milan and was so excited that he stayed up all night.

"Which country are you from?" the security guy asked.

"Huaxia Kingdom, I am from Huaxia Kingdom."

The security guard frowned suspiciously.

Although he is only a security guard of the club, he is also a diehard fan of Inter Milan and has watched football for many years.

In the past, there were indeed many young people from all over the world who came to the club to sign contracts.

But there have never been people from Huaxia Kingdom.

In the image of this young security guard, Chinese people are good at small balls such as table tennis and badminton.

As for football?

Chinese people also play football?Why haven't we seen China in the last few World Cups?

The security guy looked around again and asked:

"You came alone? Where's your agent?"

"I came alone, I don't have an agent."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible," the security guard waved his hand resolutely, "There has never been a young player who has come to the training base to report for duty."

"Don't say you're here to sign a contract. Even if you're here for two weeks of trial training, you'll either have to come with your agent, or at least your parents will accompany you."

"You come alone, I don't believe it, or you are just lying to me!"

Ye Chen scratched his head.

He also knew in his heart that what the security guard said made sense.

When he reported to Manchester United, although he was not accompanied by an agent, more than a dozen domestic reporters surrounded him, and it was very lively.

That posture, it seems that some star has come to sign the contract.

But what about now?

People take tea to cool off.

He secretly made up his mind on the flight from Manchester to Milan.

We must perform well in Inter Milan and gradually develop the stunts of Shaolin football.

At that time, in the Champions League of the first team, slap Solskjaer and marketing director Murtaugh in the face!

But right now, Ye Chen can only report to Inter Milan alone.

In addition to being disheveled, it really doesn't look like a high-spirited player who is about to sign with Inter Milan.

"But I really came to sign the contract. Why don't you follow me in and go to the head coach of the Inter Milan youth team, Chivu? He called me and asked me to sign the contract."

The security guard was also happy when he heard it.

He lit a cigarette, and stared at Ye Chen like a joke.

Who is Chivu?

Inter Milan Hall of Fame player, three-year champion player in 2010, head coach of the club's youth team.

Will you call in person and ask someone from China to sign the contract?

What's more, you don't even have an agent, and nine out of ten are here to touch porcelain...
