Zhang Yuan didn't consider a transfer for the time being, although he vomited bitterness, he still had an idea in his heart, Inter Milan's group of forwards will always encounter injuries, and then it will be the time for him to seize the opportunity, as long as he can grasp the opportunity, he still has a chance to enter Mancini's eyes.

The first game was held to a draw by Udinese at home, which may be said to be a draw at home. Mancini is naturally the object of criticism from the major media, and the fans have also expressed strong dissatisfaction, which has been a long time coming, mainly because Mancini has not achieved good results in leading the team to play European competitions, with the dominance of Serie A, whether it is the top management of Inter Milan or the appetite of the fans, hoping that the team will make a difference in the European arena, but in recent seasons Inter Milan has not performed well in the Champions League, which does not match its own strength.

The more under this pressure, the more Mancini did not dare to use young players at will, so in the second round, Mancini still did not include Zhang Yuan and Balotelli in the squad, and Zhang Yuan could only watch the game at home.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated the weak Empoli 2-0 thanks to Ibrahimovic's brace and won their first win of the new season.

After two rounds, Inter are sixth with one win and one draw, which is not too bad, ahead of them are Atalanta and Fiorentina in front of them on goal difference, AC Milan with five points, and Juventus and Roma with six points.

After this game, there will be a national team break, and most of the Inter players are from various countries, so the Pinettina base seems empty, leaving only some players who do not have national team play tasks to train here.

At the end of the training this afternoon, Zhang Yuan carried out his own training as usual, and today he practiced shooting, mainly to practice accuracy, so he thought of a way, a single humanoid wall was inserted in various positions in front of the goal, and then shot, pointing where to hit.

He didn't work alone after training, sometimes there were other team-mates, such as Balotelli, who also practiced today to practice free-kicks. However, the two of them don't feed each other balls to practice, and each of them practices their own.

Figo took a shower and was about to go home, and when he came out and saw that the two little ones were still training on the field, he walked straight to the training ground and silently watched the two of them train there.

He found that the training effect like Zhang Yuan was not very good, no one fed Zhang Yuan the ball, he could only shoot at a fixed point by himself, or he didn't need to throw the ball with his hands. In actual games, where is it so easy to get such an opportunity, some teammates pass the ball with spin, some are fast, some are powerful, and if you want to practice shooting well, you must have someone to feed the ball.

He shouted at Zhang Yuan and Balotelli, "Hey, Zhang, Mario, you two come here!"

Zhang Yuan and Balotelli turned their heads and saw Figo standing on the sidelines, and the two of them walked to Figo with the ball in their arms.

"Zhang, you don't have to practice like this well, someone has to pass the ball to you!" Figo said to Zhang Yuan first.

"Hmm!" Zhang Yuan felt that the training effect was really bad, but he was also embarrassed to trouble others, it was already 5 o'clock after the end of training every day, and many people had to go home, it didn't matter if he lived in Gantile, but the other teammates and coaches of the coaching staff basically lived in Milan City, and they had to go back.

"Mario, you live around here, right? Why can't the two of them help each other?" Figo said to Balotelli.

"Ah, this guy lives around here, too!" Zhang Yuan really didn't know, the two roommates really didn't know enough about each other.

Balotelli was silent, and Figo continued: "What? you don't want to? It's good for you!"

"Yes, but he must apologize to me first!" Balotelli pointed at Zhang Yuan.

"Me?" Zhang Yuan pointed to his nose, where did I offend you?

"Tell me what's going on?" Figo asked curiously, thinking that no wonder the two people usually don't look so harmonious, it turns out that there is a story, and as a veteran player, he still has the heart to help the two resolve the conflict.

"This kid doesn't usually respect me!"

"Where do I disrespect you!"

"You don't usually talk to me, and you sit in my place every time you take the bus!" Balotelli said from what he thought Zhang Yuan didn't respect him.

"Is this called disrespect?" Zhang Yuanqi said.

This is where Zhang Yuan doesn't know much about Balotelli, Balotelli is a black man, and was adopted by a Brescia couple, so he is inevitably a little sensitive psychologically, and he himself is called a genius by others, a little arrogant, and a little thing touches his self-esteem, which inevitably produces a pimple in his heart.

After hearing this, Figo felt that this was really not a big deal, and after thinking about it for a while, he still asked Zhang Yuan to apologize to Balotelli, because from the usual relationship, Zhang Yuan is more generous and hearty, and he can still joke with his teammates from time to time, not a stuffy gourd. In contrast, Balotelli is much more stuffy, and it is estimated that Zhang Yuandao's apology will not cause any pimples, but Balotelli will remember things for a long time.

Zhang Yuan listened to Figo's words, okay, you let Lao Tzu apologize, apologize, apologize, anyway, it's not a lot of meat, and it will be good for you to have a training partner in the future, and it is good for you to improve so quickly in Rimini thanks to having your own three roommates.

"I'm sorry, Mario, please accept my apologies!" Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Okay, I accept your apology!" Balotelli looked at Zhang Yuan, nothing unusual, and also stretched out his hand to accept Zhang Yuan's apology.

"Well, now that you've reconciled, let's practice together! it's not too late!" Figo said as he prepared to leave.

"Luis, can you teach me a free kick?" asked Zhang Yuan.

"Free kicks? Well, to be honest, my free kicks are average! But I have a good candidate to teach you! You go to Sinissa tomorrow and he will be happy to help you!" Figo was a little self-assured.

Figo is talking about assistant coach Sinissa Mihajlovic, who is the best of the best in Serie A for his free-kicks, and is the record holder for free-kick goals in Serie A.

Zhang Yuan and Balotelli all know about this person, a team, no matter how they say it, they are familiar with each other, but they don't have much contact, and it's the same reason not to find Mihajlovic, after all, he doesn't live around here.

"You can learn more from Sinissa in between trainings!" Figo said.

The two nodded, Figo smiled and left on his own, leaving the two to continue practicing.

Zhang Yuan's apology finally shortened the distance between the two roommates, Balotelli's pass was actually very good, and it was perfect to feed Zhang Yuan the ball, so the two practiced until dark in the afternoon, and then went home separately.

The next day, taking advantage of the training break, Zhang Yuan found Mihajlovic and begged Mihajlovic to have time to guide himself and Balotelli on a free-kick.

"Looking for me? Mihajlovic said cheerfully that this is not a big deal, in fact, he is now on the training ground often with Inter's free-kick masters.

"You stay after the afternoon training, I can talk to you alone!" Mihajlovich took the initiative.

"Thank you so much, Sinisa!" Zhang Yuan was really grateful, he originally wanted to get Mihajlovich's professional guidance between trainings, but he didn't expect Mihajlovic to offer to give guidance after a day of training, it simply didn't get better than this.

At the end of the afternoon's training, Mihajlovic stayed and began to explain his free-kick knack to Zhang Yuan and Balotelli.

"First, first of all, you must have strong self-confidence, tell yourself that you will score!

"Second, learn to observe, what to observe, the position of the opponent's goalkeeper, the position and height of the opponent's door wall, and observe the details of each wall player. ”

"Thirdly, when you choose how to play, I can tell you that I don't take a free kick in a fixed way, I have a lot of ways. ”

What Mihajlovic said is the truth, there are many ways to kick free kicks in world football, such as banana balls, powerful shots, falling leaf balls, etc., but Mihajlovic seems to have no fixed ones, and they can play each of them, which is what he said about how he can choose to take free kicks based on his previous observations.

It's still very simple to say, but it's not so simple to really kick, and then he still showed Zhang Yuan and Balotelli, Balotelli went to the goal, and Zhang Yuan stood on the human wall with the humanoid wall.

Kicked 10 goals, Mihajlovic scored 9, didn't score that because he slipped on the sole of his foot and kicked it against the wall, and sure enough, it was a worthy pass, 9 goals in 9 different positions, and goals were scored in each position.

Some of them were powerful shots, some were curling balls, some were falling balls, and Balotelli, who was standing in front of goal, didn't save any of them.

Zhang Yuan and Balotelli also came up to try, and the result can be imagined, Mihajlovic can save their ball as a goalkeeper, and the two of them can only score one or two.

"You don't practice free-kicks overnight, you have to practice every day. You have to practise all kinds of free-kick methods, and you will improve soon!" Mihajlovic concluded, not wanting to discourage the two too much.

With the end of the international break and the resumption of the Serie A competition, Inter will welcome Catania at home on September 16, Mancini announced the squad at the end of training the day before the game, and to the disappointment of Zhang Yuan and Balotelli, the squad was still absent, and Adriano replaced Suazo in the squad.

The day before the home game, all the players will stay at the Pinettina base, and tomorrow they will go to the home stadium at the Meazza Stadium, where spectators such as Zhang Yuan and Balotelli will also have to stay.

After the training, the two practiced as usual, and after this period of joint practice, the relationship between the two people was naturally much closer, and there was more laughter and laughter in the same room.
