After the game, a middle-aged Chinese man walked on the sidelines, holding a large stack of envelopes in his hand. The Chinese man www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion is Xu Zewei, the owner of a local Chinese restaurant in Prato, and also the interpreter of the Jianlibao team.

Many years later, the Jianlibao team members have become famous, gathered in Prato again, and deliberately found out the benefactors who helped them back then, including Xu Zewei. When the reporter asked him why he became the interpreter of the Jianlibao team, Xu Zewei said that he was very excited to hear from a friend that a team from China had arrived in Italy, but he was very frustrated that he was not qualified to foster Jianlibao teenagers. Later, he heard that he needed a translator, so he immediately ran and became a translator through introduction.

"Honestly, I just love to play, I wanted to play back then, but I didn't make it, I just wanted them to do my dream. I didn't think about reciprocating when I went to the team, I just wanted to help their little brothers."

Jianlibao's coach Zhu Guanghu said that the Jianlibao team was very unaccustomed to when they first arrived in Italy, especially in terms of diet, many players couldn't eat, Xu Zewei specially asked domestic friends to transport some domestic spices to make authentic Chinese food for them to "add food", and the players of the Jianlibao team affectionately called him "Avi's father".

Every holiday, Xu Zewei will invite the team members to his house, and the team members will come to Xu Zewei's house with pillows, and the first thing is to "grab the sofa".

"Avi's father said, let's take this place as our home, every time we come here, the first thing is to grab the sofa, at that time Li Jian, Zhang Xiaorui is always the first to grab the sofa, and then the rest of us sleep on the floor horizontally and vertically", speaking of the past, the captain opened the corner of his mouth with a happy and warm smile, speaking of "Avi's father", team member Wang Wenhua recalled, "When there was no inline skating in China, Avi's father asked us if we wanted to play, and we invited the whole team to an ice rink to play for a day, or his own money, Italian consumption is very expensive, we didn't have much money when we were studying, Avi's father not only didn't need money for us to serve, but also paid us to play, he was really kind to us."

In addition to Xu Zewei, the local Chinese in Prato really care about the Jianlibao team. Like this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, in the Spring Festival Gala of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the Central Committee, under the arrangement of the Chinese Embassy in Italy, the Jianlibao Youth Team greeted the people of the whole country through the camera lens.

Lu Guanghui, a businessman from Wenzhou who was one of the 12 Chinese families who adopted Jianlibao players, was once facing a shortage of workers in his factory in Italy, and after listening to the advice of a friend, he spent $100,000 to build a seven-a-side football field in the factory, and soon recruited the workers needed by the factory. Every week, after work, the workers play a hearty ball game, which is the best reward for Italians.

"At that time, we were not familiar with the Italian people, the language was different, there was no opportunity to get in touch with the real life of the Italians, it was the families who adopted us who took me out to play every week, and let their children take us to meet Italian friends, teach us to speak Italian, play Italian street football, thank them very much, without them there would be no where we are today", 20 years later, there are some people who adopted the Jianlibao team players and the people who helped them are gone, which makes the Jianlibao team players very sad, I felt like I should have come back sooner. Because those are the people who make the players respect and appreciate.

Seeing a large pile of letters in Xu Zewei's hand, the players of the Jianlibao team suddenly hula and all came over. Due to the high cost of air tickets, international calls were a luxury in China at this time, so the players of the Jianlibao team could only contact their families through the most primitive way - writing letters. After all, when you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, you have come to this foreign land thousands of miles away from your relatives and parents, and you may not see your family for five years or even longer, how can you not miss it?

In history, many people always like to criticize the players of the Jianlibao team from a commanding perspective, thinking that they are useless and disabled, unworthy of their name, and a waste of national resources. But Chen Lin thinks that those people are definitely standing and talking without back pain, China has not yet begun to be professional, being a player is not a "money" thing, the players of the Jianlibao team have no subsidies to go abroad at all, and the family has not received any benefits, a group of children so young ran thousands of miles away, basically with the mentality of learning to receive and serve the motherland, Li Liuyu didn't even know how to wash the quilt when he first went abroad, and he had to turn over and cover the other side when he was dirty. If it weren't for Chen Lin's appearance, they would have suffered ten times more in Brazil. Although in the end they did not achieve the goal of making Chinese football take off, it was caused by the economy, the system, and the leadership art of the Football Association.

When the players of the Jianlibao team were looking for letters from their families, Chen Lin took Spalletti to find Zhu Guanghu, the Chinese leader of the Jianlibao team. In the past six months, Zhu Guanghu has been learning from several youth coaches in Prato, and he only feels that a window has been opened, allowing him to gradually learn the world's most advanced tactics, which has benefited him a lot. Therefore, he was even more enthusiastic about Chen Lin's arrival, and when Chen Lin proposed that he wanted to transfer Li Tie and Li Qiyu to the first team in Prato to participate in next season's competition, Zhu Guanghu agreed without much thought. In the agreement between Prato and the Football Association, this is in itself the right of the Prato club, and being able to communicate and learn from the players of the first team and get in touch with high-level games early is itself very beneficial to Li Tie and Li Xuanyu, so what reason does he have to stop it?

Before the Boseman Act was enacted in 1996, the Italian Football Federation stipulated that each team could send a maximum of three foreign players at the same time, but no more than five foreign players could be registered. Previously, the Prato team only had three foreign aids, Yang Chen, Fan Zhiyi, and Ma Minyu, and they could also register two names. Transferring Li Tie and Li Liuyu to the first line, although most of the time they can't play, they can still go back to the youth team to participate in the game, and it doesn't delay anything, but it is to communicate more with the first-team players to promote their growth.

The reason why Li Tie and Li Juyu were promoted to the first team is because there are two best teachers for them in the Prato team this season, Dunga and Inzaghi. Needless to say, Li Qiyu is known as "Chinese Inzaghi" in Chinese football in history, the two have extremely similar playing styles, both are opportunistic shooters with a strong sense of smell in front of the goal, in Chen Lin's view, Li Qiyu's talent is not under Inzaghi, what is lacking is some habits and details, and close contact can allow Li Qiyu to better learn these things that he lacks. As for Li Tie, there are many people in history who compare him with Dunga, who is also an indispensable midfield barrier for the national team, is also good at defense, and is also the position of the offensive and defensive hub of the back waist, but obviously, whether it is the control of the offensive and defensive rhythm, the timing of the pass, the line of the ball, the control of the overall situation, or the improvement of defensive efficiency, to achieve effective defensive filling, Dunga, as the captain of the future World Cup champion team, has a lot to teach Li Tie, Chen Lin even began to look forward to, What would a "Chinese iron waist" look like who had grown up under Dunga's careful teaching.
