In order to make a good impression on his new teammates and new coach, the day after signing the contract, Gao Xiaodong took a taxi to the Pinettina training base an hour earlier than the training time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The renovation of the training base has not yet been completed, and workers are working on it, but the main training ground is already ready for use.

Built in the 1960s by Moratti's father, Angelo Moratti, at the behest and command of wizard Herrera, the camp is dilapidated and unsuited to the training requirements of modern football.

It is said that the players' dormitory is very bad, cold in winter and hot in summer, and the famous star Vieira once was too hot to live, so he secretly escaped from the base in the middle of the night and ran home to rest.

Mancini also never let the players live in the Pinettina base before training, and always went outside to find a star hotel to live in.

The revamp of the training base was requested by Mourinho, and the attention to detail maniac could not accept long-term training at such a training base.

Moratti is still very supportive of Mourinho, not only spending a huge amount of money to renovate the base, but also preparing to buy a total of more than 130,000 square meters of land outside of Pinettina for training camps.

Gao Xiaodong felt that he had come early enough, but he didn't expect that when he came, Mourinho had already arrived and was talking with the players who also arrived early.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong coming, Mourinho walked over with a blonde young man, pointed at the young man and said to Gao Xiaodong: "Xiao Donggao, this is the translator Theo that the club asked you for, Theo is proficient in Chinese and Italian, if there is anything, you can ask him for help." ”

Theo said fluently in Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Gao Xiaodong, I am not only your translator for the team, but also your Italian teacher, and I am willing to serve you at any time." ”

I rub, this Chinese is more slippery than me, Gao Xiaodong couldn't help but admire, and said: "You're welcome, you will be my mouthpiece and ears in the future, if you can satisfy me, I will give you a bonus, but if you have any moths, I will not be polite." ”

Even though Theo had studied in China and was proficient in Chinese, he didn't know what a moth was, but he probably guessed what Gao Xiaodong meant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I have professional ethics and principles of life." ”

Seeing that Gao Xiaodong and the translator met, Mourinho said: "You come with me, and I will introduce you to your new teammates." ”

Although the team met in Milan, they did not train in Milan, and Inter Milan's summer training took place in Los Angeles, USA, and after three days in Milan, they flew to Los Angeles, where most of the South American players met up with the team directly.

Although Mourinho personally went out and ceremoniously introduced Gao Xiaodong to the players, the players of Inter Milan still treated Gao Xiaodong very coldly, just a symbolic clapp, obviously, the players of Inter Milan were full of complaints about the second youngest Gao Xiaodong getting the second highest salary in the team.

The only one who feels indifferent is Samuel Eto'o, who has the highest salary.

After Mourinho's introduction, everyone went their separate ways, and the Italian genius Balotelli walked to Gao Xiaodong's side and circled around Gao Xiaodong twice, "I heard that you are very hanging, and 30,000 fans came to see you yesterday?"

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "No, no, in fact, the fans came to see my jokes." ”

Balotelli said: "It makes sense, you don't look good, not as tall as me, not as handsome as me, the fans must have come to see your jokes." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Yes, it's not as black as you." ”

Balotelli continued: "You are not as tall as me, not as handsome as me, why do I have an annual salary of 1.2 million and your annual salary is 6 million." ”

The surrounding players all gloated and watched Balotelli find trouble with Gao Xiaodong, but no one stopped him, because it was Balotelli who they instigated in the first place.

This is a young man, he can't be reasonable with such a person at all, and it is useless to threaten and lure, Gao Xiaodong rolled his eyes, and decided to communicate with Balotelli in the way of dealing with the neighbor's little cub Tie Dan, he smiled and said to Balotelli: "Which is bigger, 6 million or 10 million?"

Balotelli grinned, "This still wants to stump me, of course it's 10 million." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "1.2 million is you, 6 million is me, 10 million is Eto'o, they are all black brothers, not as tall as you, not as handsome as you, your skills are not as good as you, you are still so old, why is Eto'o ten times as you, do you say yes, Mario." ”

Gao Xiaodong hugged Balotelli's shoulders affectionately, looking angry for Balotelli.

Balotelli only has one tendon in his brain, and as soon as Gao Xiaodong said this, Balotelli immediately forgot about Gao Xiaodong's high salary and turned to find Eto'o.

Gao Xiaodong's high-paid Inter Milan players are not convinced, but no one has an opinion on Eto'o's high salary, Eto'o is the main striker of the two-time Champions League winner, and Inter Milan is a fraction of Ibrahimovic's transfer, and the annual salary of 10 million is really not much.

Materazzi saw that Balotelli didn't know what was going on, so he didn't trouble Gao Xiaodong, but suddenly ran to Eto'o, he quickly called Balotelli, "Mario come here, come with me to get equipment." ”

Balotelli ignored and continued towards Eto'o, and Materazzi came over and grabbed Balotelli, "What do you want to do?"

Balotelli said: "I asked Eto'o what is better than me and has such a high annual salary. ”

Materazzi said with a calm face: "Nonsense, the coach asked you to get the equipment." ”

Gao Xiaodong walked over with a smile and said to Balotelli and Materazzi: "I'll go with you to get the equipment." ”

Materazzi saw that Gao Xiaodong quietly pushed Balotelli towards Eto'o, and now he had nothing to do, and felt that this kid was not a good thing, but he did not refuse, did not speak, turned and walked towards the equipment room.

Gao Xiaodong didn't care about Materazzi's attitude, he just wanted to create a posture of being close to the Italian local gang.

The equipment was taken out, the players were there, and it was time for training.

The players had just gone on a holiday and Mourinho didn't immediately go into intense practice, mainly recovering in the morning and passing and shooting in the afternoon.

In training, Gao Xiaodong's skills surprised the coaching staff led by Mourinho and the players of Inter Milan.

This is not to say that the players of Inter Milan think that Gao Xiaodong's level is high, but their previous understanding and understanding of Gao Xiaodong is based on the game before Gao Xiaodong was promoted to the professional A-level, after Gao Xiaodong was promoted to the A-level, he only played half of the game with Barcelona, this half of the game, the ball is still at the feet of Barcelona, Gao Xiaodong didn't touch the ball a few times at all, Mourinho and Inter Milan's players feel that Gao Xiaodong's skills are very average, and now at a closer look, Gao Xiaodong handles every ball very reasonably, very relaxed, and the ball is very familiar, not at all like a hairy boy who is less than 20 years old, just an old ball ruffian。

Mourinho was puzzled, less than two months away from the Champions League final, and he was still on vacation, why Gao Xiaodong's skills suddenly improved a lot, is this really the oriental epiphany improvement Mendes said, otherwise it is difficult to explain.

The players of Inter Milan also put away a little contempt, feeling that although this kid is not worthy of the transfer fee of 50 million and the annual salary of 6 million, he still has a few pounds.
