shadow striker

"Hey! It's winter break. Yue, are you still running here?"

"Mr. Dro?"

Time, 2023.It was at dusk in winter, and the streets on the outskirts of Turin were deserted.On one side of the road are tall trees with a thick layer of snow, and at the moment an Asian man in long-sleeved trousers and sportswear is jogging here.Perhaps it is not appropriate to say that this is jogging, because he is still accelerating sprints from time to time, or changing his steps flexibly.

It was at this time that an Italian man who was driving stopped beside him, lowered the window, and greeted him.

"Now is not training time, don't be so restrained!"

"Yes, Coach!"

"can you drive?"

"meeting."

"Then come here, I'm going to a drinking party, you go with me. If I'm drunk, drive me home."

It can be seen that when the football coach named Delo proposed the invitation, the young Asian seemed to be struggling.He frowned, looked at his clothes again, seemed to want to say something, but just pursed his lips, and finally sat down on the co-pilot seat without saying anything.

"How do I look today?"

"He's handsome."

In fact, the Asian running on the streets of Turin this winter is not called Yue.His full name is Yue Yihuang, from China.It's just that he didn't want to have an inexplicable Italian name, so he was so happy that everyone only called him by his last name.When he put on his seat belt, his head coach at the club looked a little mysterious and asked how he looked today.When the head coach De Luo got the answer that Yue Yihuang gave without thinking, he seemed very happy.

"Don't always be so nervous when you talk to me. You know, I'm just a dozen years older than you. And I don't think my mental age is a few years older than yours. Listen, if I usually, I don't want to dress so formally. But there is a big fish in the reception today."

Afterwards, Delo leaned towards the passenger seat, and whispered a name in Yue Yihuang's ear.That name made Yue Yihuang startled in disbelief, and then turned around suddenly to look at De Luo.

"Francisco...? You mean Francisco of the Premier League club Chelsea? You want...to poach him?"

"Why? Impossible? Nothing is impossible. You know, he's a Turin too."

Hearing De Luo say this with confidence, Yue Yihuang just frowned, without saying anything.The car didn't drive very far, and they arrived at the hotel where today's reception was held.The hotel is located in a seventeenth-century building, which retains a complete Baroque exterior building, while the interior has been renovated and decorated like a palace.

After the car stopped, Delo turned off the engine, opened the door and walked out. However, just as he was about to throw the keys to the hotel staff and ask them to park the car for him, Yue Yihuang was self-conscious. Luo took the key in his hand, and asked the hotel staff directly where the car should be parked.This behavior of his obviously aroused dissatisfaction with his own coach. Just when this merciless and eccentric coach wanted to swear, Yue Yihuang asked quite naturally:

"I have to wait for you in the car. If that's the case, I'll just drive the car to the garage."

As soon as these words were spoken, De Luo gave Yue Yihuang a smack on the head, and then threw a set of high-end suits he had just bought from a clothing store on his face, causing Yue Yihuang to remain silent for a while. Cover your face.

"I'm talking about letting you go to the reception with me! It's not about letting you sit in the car and wait for me! This is the suit I bought more today, you quickly change it into me and come in with me, don't let me say today Foul words!"

Although he had planned to maintain a good image of a gentleman at today's reception, but at the entrance of this super five-star hotel, Delo had already done his best and kicked his legs, as if Yue Yihuang If he still refuses, he will kick the disobedient player into the door.

Seeing that his coach was showing signs of breaking out, Yue Yihuang couldn't care about anything else, picked up the high-end suit that De Luo threw at him, and rushed into the hotel bathroom with a serious face.Yue Yihuang's height is 1 meters, which is about the same as De Luo's height in this regard.It's a pity that although his body has been trained to be very strong, compared with the European body shape, it still looks a little thin, so a very slim suit looks a bit too big for him.

But apart from these minor inconsistencies, Yue Yihuang still looked pretty good in this suit.It would be better if his face didn't look so childish.

Sure enough, when Yue Yihuang came out of the bathroom, even Dro praised him for being a handsome boy after tidying up, which made Yue Yihuang, who never dressed like this, feel Even more awkward.In this way, under the leadership of De Luo, he walked into the banquet hall of the reception initiated and attended by people from the upper class.

Compared with the lobby of the hotel, this banquet hall is even more magnificent.This almost gave people the illusion that what they came to at this time was not modern Italy, but the Italian Royal Palace in the Middle Ages.At this time, a ball is being held in the palace.The banquet hall was full of aristocratic ladies in evening gowns, and well-dressed, well-bred gentlemen.

Almost as soon as he walked into this banquet hall, Yue Yihuang already felt how out of place he was with this place.Perhaps it would have been better to wait in the car in tracksuit for his trainer to return?However, before Yue Yihuang had time to think too much, his full attention was almost attracted by the man in the center of the banquet hall surrounded by many people.

That person is Francisco, who is now a thriving striker in the Premier League giants Chelsea.

Francisco rose in the World Cup three years ago.Francesco, who was young and not well-known at the time, scored three goals for the Italian national team.This made the whole world pay attention to the Italian player who joined Chelsea at the age of 17. In the following three years, Francis quickly rose from the third striker to Chelsea's well-deserved core player, and also helped Chelsea win the Premier League title all the way. As well as the Champions League champion, it can be said that he is one of the players with the highest social status and commercial value in football today.

Moreover, as a world-class football player, Francisco's advantage may not only be his extraordinary skills, but in fact he also has a handsome appearance and high commercial value.

And now, there are rumors that Francisco may have the intention of transferring this year, which makes many clubs interested in vying for the hottest attacking player in football today.

It seems that among the top ten giants in Europe, there are Real Madrid in La Liga, the top three in the north of Serie A, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga want to sign Francisco.It seems... even Chelsea's rival team in the Premier League wants to buy this player who can help the club win and has extremely high commercial value.

Under such circumstances, Yue Yihuang didn't think their Turin team could persuade a player of Francisco's level to come over.Even... this year's Turin team has been bought by a very rich Yankee.

"Hey, don't be so disbelieving. I know you were in the Barcelona youth academy."

Although Yue Yihuang doesn't talk much usually, he seems to be used to putting everything on his face directly.This is something that Dro, who is tired of dealing with those bastard club directors, likes very much.He was very satisfied to see Yue Yihuang's face suddenly changed after he said these words.So he continued talking very freely.

"I also know that when you were in the youth academy, you were the best partner with Barcelona's current main striker Igles. He is a striker or a midfielder, and you are his shadow striker. I have seen you in Barcelona as a teenager. The team and Igles played together, it should be said that it was perfect. The two of you put together are a pair of bloody scoring machines.

Compared with Barcelona's sissy heartthrob, you are obviously more suitable to be Igles' partner, but the sissy technical characteristics seem to be more liked by the current Barcelona head coach.So, don't you think that Francisco is exactly the same type of player as your old partner Igles? "

Almost every time Dro said a word, Yue Yihuang's face became paler.However, after he finished speaking these words, Yue Yihuang unexpectedly returned to his usual expression, but that expression did not recover at all.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Maybe I told you that on the first day I brought you from Brescia. I want to rebuild the Torino team and make it back to the Torino team before the Superga disaster, not the Torino team. As it is now, a second-tier team hovering between the First Division and the Second Division."
