A day later, at the Melo training base, Chen Long met Cai Heng, a fellow countryman from China and a new recruit of the team. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first time they met, the first impression on Chen Long, Cai Heng was definitely a complete chatter, although the two met for the first time, Cai Heng's performance seemed to be the same as the two of them playing from childhood to adulthood, and they did not treat Chen Long as a stranger at all.

Of course, Xie Heng's performance also made Chen Long feel a lot more relaxed, after all, at the beginning, he really didn't know what to say when he met his fellow countrymen for the first time, you know, in terms of age, Chen Long is one year younger than Cai Heng.

At the training base, Chen Long and Cai Heng talked a lot, and in the face of a chatter, it was impossible for Chen Long to keep his mouth shut.

When he heard that Chen Long actually had a house in Milan, Cai Heng actually wanted to move over and live with Chen Long, Cai Heng was in the Milan youth team, and like Chen Long before, he rented a house by himself, but now, in his words, even if he pays the rent, he has to hand it over to his compatriots.

Chen Long didn't hesitate at all, and agreed in one bite, after all, the house he just bought was very large, and Cai Heng had a place to live when he moved over, and besides, the two could be companions together.

After chatting with Cai Heng for a while, the two also quickly devoted themselves to the team's training, and the night after tomorrow, Milan will sit at the San Siro Stadium to face the first league opponent after the winter break of this season ~ "Red Wolf" Roma.

As a traditional powerhouse in Serie A, Roma still have some quality this season, and before the winter break, Roma are in fifth place in the standings, with a good record.

For Milan, it is obviously not easy to sit at home to face Roma, and the whole team is very serious in preparing for the game.

However, even in the face of strong opponents, Milan is not the slightest fear, a team with the goal of winning the championship, has long been ready to compete with strong opponents from all walks of life.

For Chen Long, the battle with Rome the day after tomorrow has a different meaning, because the day after tomorrow is his 17th birthday, so the whole of Milan, including Chen Long, hopes to celebrate Chen Long's birthday with a victory.

Chen Long calculated the time, it was really like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, he was already seventeen years old, seventeen years old, which is really an age to look forward to.

The day before Milan hosts Roma, FIFA released the first edition of the Rising Stars and Players list for 2024.

On the list of new stars, Chen Long is still ranked first, which is already the sixth consecutive issue of his ranking on the top of the list of new stars, which is definitely a pioneering achievement, and it also confirms Chen Long's personal ability from another level.

In the first edition of the 2024 Rising Star List, the top two have not changed much, and the second place is still the Argentine genius Dirk, but the third place has changed, and the Brazilian player Reddil, who was originally ranked third, was replaced by his compatriot Osto.

Osto is very good, this is Chen Long's impression of Alto, in the U20 World Cup match with Brazil a few months ago, Chen Long had played against Osto, and Osto's performance had already surprised Chen Long.

The third place was occupied by Ostol, while Redier slipped to fourth, and as for the original fourth place, the Frenchman's Tafer could only be placed in fifth place.

In this list of rising stars, the number of players from China has increased to a certain extent, because before the U20 World Cup, the Chinese team won the final championship, to a certain extent, Chen Long's outstanding performance is indeed a big reason, but it cannot be denied the outstanding individual ability of other Chinese players, so on this list, several Chinese players have been added, such as Du Yi, Meishan. Who would have thought that the once weak Chinese football was only during the less than ten years of the Chinese government's reforms, so many outstanding talented players have emerged one after another, and people understand that once these Chinese players grow up, they will be absolutely dominant for world football, just like the Spanish dynasty and the German dynasty.

Even to a certain extent, the growing Chinese football will definitely rule longer than Spain and Germany, because China has hard conditions, China has a population of more than one billion, which Germany and Spain do not have.

Compared with the list of rising stars, the list of players on the other major list has not changed much, but the name of Ronaldo, who was originally ranked 20th on the player list, has completely disappeared from the list.

On January 10, 2024, in the 14th round of Serie A, Milan will play Roma at the San Siro at home at 7 p.m.

At 12 o'clock in the morning, Milan coach Jose Mourinho and the team's new core Chen Long attended the pre-match press conference.

At the press conference, a reporter from Italy's Torino Sport newspaper asked Chen Long about the retirement of legendary superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Chen Long regards Ronaldo as an idol, which is no secret in the football world, so many people are curious about what Chen Long thinks or feels about Ronaldo's retirement.

"Hello Mr. Chen Long, I'm Marty, a reporter for Torino Sport, and we all know that you have always regarded Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo as your football idol, so can you express your opinion on the news of Ronaldo's retirement not long ago?"

Chen Long: It's a good topic indeed, and I feel very disappointed about the retirement of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, because he has always been my idol in my career, and I love his performance on the football field, which is really regrettable. Of course, each of us has to face up to his actions, because as professional footballers, each of us may face that day.

When Chen Long answered this question, his expression was very serious, which surprised the reporters and media at the scene, and it seemed that Chen Long was really in a bad mood for the retirement of his idol.

Marty: If you had the chance, what would you say to your idol Cristiano Ronaldo?

Chen Long: I will say, I will miss you, I think the whole football world will miss you, of course, there is a saying in China, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, I will take over your class and hold up the banner of world football.

Chen Long's answer made the media at the scene look sideways again.

Succession?

Hold up the banner?

Is this hubris or, a symbol of strength? But it doesn't matter, what matters is what kind of storm will Chen Long's words set off in the football world?

Marty: Mr. Chen Long, thank you for your answer.

…….……

"Hello Mr. Chen Long, I'm Vanessa, a reporter from Sky Sports UK, today is your seventeenth birthday, so what is the best birthday gift you want?"

Chen Long: Haha, of course, it's to win the game.

…………

After that, some reporters asked manager Jose Mourinho another question.

"Mr. Mourinho, we all know that you used to coach Cristiano Ronaldo and now you coach Chen Long, so can you talk about your evaluation of the two people?"

Jose Mourinho: Ronaldo is great, he is one of the best players I have coached in my coaching career, Ronaldo impressed me the most is his hard work, and about Chen Long, he is very similar to Ronaldo in many ways, especially in the point of hard work, and I want to say that in the near future, I think Chen Long has a great hope of reaching the height of Ronaldo, or even surpassing.

Chen Long, who was sitting next to Mourinho, didn't expect Mourinho to give him such a high evaluation, and as for the media reporters at the scene, he naturally didn't expect it.
