The process of joining Napoli is very simple, the two sides have actually negotiated the terms, as long as Ouchulian comes to the club to sign a name.

When Ou Chuliang signed the legally effective document, the head of Naples shook hands with Ou Chuliang with a smile and walked away.

"Welcome to Naples." Ticker held out his hand to Achuria, and it felt like a wolf seeing a lamb.

"Thank you." Although Ou Chuliang didn't know what to do, he still reached out and shook hands with the other party.

"I'll take you to your dormitory, and of course, if you choose to rent an apartment in Naples, you can find an agent yourself."

"As for the car problem, I think the club will get back to you later."

"As long as it's not the car you came in." Ou Chuliang shrugged.

Before he came to Naples, he was actually mentally prepared.

It is not that there are no players in Chinese history who have played abroad, but he is the first person to play in Europe after becoming professional. And as soon as I arrived, it was Serie A, and the start was already very high.

In Ou Chuliang's view, Naples is very generous, Ou Chuliang's monthly salary is 25 lira, which is about 30,000 yuan when converted into RMB, which is already rare.

For the first time, Ou Chulian needs to get to know the club, the Serie A league, the lifestyle and training rules of the footballers here in a short period of time.

As a newcomer who has just come to Europe, Ou Chuliang is not afraid of losing money. He has positioned himself as a pioneer and has to develop his own understanding of Serie A football in just two years.

When other domestic players come to Serie A, he can give constructive advice.

The Italian football league began in 1898 and has a history of almost 100 years now.

From the mid-1980s to the present, Serie A is recognized as one of the highest professional football leagues in the world. It is characterized by a defensive focus and a star-studded base. Especially after the 1990 World Cup, it was known as the "Little World Cup".

Ou Chuliang chose Serie A because Serie A Inter became the first team to visit China in 1978. On September 10 of the same year, the Chinese national team paid a return visit to Milan, Italy, when the Meazza Stadium was full. As a result, Inter Milan and Serie A began to establish a deep connection with China.

Since 1989, CCTV began to broadcast the Serie A league through live video every Sunday afternoon, and due to CCTV's huge influence in China at that time, Serie A has also become the main choice for fans.

Coupled with the visits of Sampdoria and AC Milan in '93 and '94, the Serie A team has accumulated a lot of popularity in China.

This has also led to the fact that many young players are aiming for Serie A, such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Lazio, and other teams that fans are familiar with, have long become the object of young people's pursuit.

Usually when he returned to the dormitory, Ou Chuliang would study Italian like crazy.

Master the local language as soon as possible in order to live a normal life here. Otherwise, the locals will scold you in front of you, and you don't even know it.

In the past few days since joining Napoli, Ou Chuliang has been ruthlessly low-key and has hardly gone anywhere.

Due to the lack of information, it was not until he arrived in Napoli that he knew how difficult the situation of the former Serie A hegemon was.

After Maradona's suspension, the players who had made Napoli's glorious history began to move to other Serie A teams after losing Maradona's influence. Coupled with the strengthening of other Serie A, Napoli has further turned from prosperity to decline. However, in the post-Maradona era before the stars dispersed, Napoli was still in the upper middle of Serie A.

However, in the summer of 1994, Lippi left Napoli along with club captain Ferrara and joined Juventus. Coupled with Napoli's high debts, striker Fonsica was sold to Roma by the team. The departure of captain Ferrara symbolizes the end of the post-Maradona era in Naples.

Napoli is in a constant debt crisis, so there is an urgent need to find young and good players around the world. And Ou Chuliang also happens to be their target object.

Although Acchulian won the World Youth Championship, Italy did not break into the World Youth Championship finals, so some ordinary people simply did not care that the goalkeeper of the World Youth Championship winning team came to Serie A to act as the No. 3 goalkeeper of a down-and-out club.

In the 96-97 season, poor results last season led to the dismissal of coach Pausgoff and his replacement by Schmoney.

The team has retained the main players from last season this season, and in the first half of this season, the team has not lost any of them. However, at the start of the second half of the league season, the team suffered a 10-game winless streak, and Schmoney was sacked on the way and replaced by youth coach Montena, and the team finished a disappointing season in 13th place in the league.

In the same year, the team unexpectedly made it all the way to the final of the Coppa Italia. And in the first leg of the final, thanks to Berkia's goal, they led Vicenza 1-0 at home. However, in the next match, the opponent was reversed 3-0 and lost the Coppa Italia championship.

The team has been dormant for too long, and with the fact that the main team has been sold for many years, the fans' desire for the championship has reached the extreme.

The fall of the Italian Cup this time has disappointed many fans. Even some local gangsters have taken advantage of this to make trouble, you know, Naples is the nest of the mafia.

After learning about the team's recent situation, Ou Chuliang finally felt a little headache. Napoli are in a recession and he doesn't know if he can help the team bottom out.

In the past few days, thanks to his great linguistic talent and hard work, Acchulian quickly became familiar with several Italian phrases. Supplemented by my own English and Portugal, it is no longer a big problem to communicate with some local people. At the very least, when Ou Chuliang goes to the restaurant to order, he doesn't have to order the same pasta every time.

The team's current manager, Boltoni, is a local Italian coach who has only been in Napoli for just over a month. After Ou Chuliang met him, the other party did not show much interest in Ou Chuliang.

Immediately afterward, Portoni handed over Occhulian to goalkeeper coach Elber.

Including Acchulian, Napoli currently have four goalkeepers. The main goalkeeper Giuseppe has been playing for Napoli for six years. Coming through the Napoli academy, he spent the first two years in Palermo and Bari before moving back to Napoli in '91.

No. 2 goalkeeper Rafael is a 38-year-old veteran who is said to be retired in two or three years. And Naples is the object of his retirement.

Another youngster, Ferdinando, is only a year older than Dioglian and has just been transferred from Napoli's Under-19s this year. In Ou Chuliang's opinion, he is his strongest competitor.

With the arrival of Ou Chuliang, the club did not hold any signing ceremony or press conference, but hastily announced the signing of a Chinese goalkeeper on the official website, and then marked the origin of Ou Chuliang in the corner of the Napoli Sports Newspaper the next day, and there was no special display for the rest.

Fans don't care, they don't think about whether a number three goalkeeper will bring the team a title. Even if he has a lot of influence in the Far East.

At this time, Ou Chuliang was lying on the ground, and the turf under his head was a little yellow.

He looked forward, and two or three meters away from him, two dark blue eyes were watching him.

These eyes seem to say: Come on, be serious, be careful!

They were warming up, all lying in the penalty area of the training ground, throwing the ball at each other.

The bodies of the four are like seesaws that can be bent, moving up and down rhythmically. It's just that a short snapping sound can be heard as the ball lands in the latex of the goalkeeper's gloves.

After a few minutes, Ou Chuliang felt that it should be about the same. After all, this is just a warm-up, and it should be over.

After joining Napoli, Acchulian quickly understood that the main goalkeeper Giuseppe never stops. Giuseppe wants to see the team's two young contenders come together and emerge victorious, even if it's just a daily warm-up session.

Giuseppe is 30 years old and has played more than 200 games for Napoli. In the eyes of the fans, Giuseppe is the darling of the fans, and even if it is just the end of training, he will patiently meet the wishes of the fans.

Ou Chuliang was just 20 years old at this time, and he was the team's No. 3 goalkeeper, goalkeeper coach Dirk. Elber often told him that he should learn more from Giuseppe during this time, and maybe one day he could become the team's main goalkeeper.

Ou Chulian didn't say anything, he just looked at Giuseppe to see what he was doing now.

These days, although he is constantly learning Italian, he plays a taciturn foreigner in the team.

This was the first piece of advice he gave himself after coming to Italy.

Saying less and doing more has also become Ou Chuliang's code of conduct.

When it comes to communication, he will describe his confusion in as much detail as possible. He won't stop asking until he sees the coach impatient.

"Alright, don't be in a daze." "Now you shoot at each other, and the ball has to be at the height of your chest!" ”

Giuseppe's shooting power is getting bigger and bigger, and the ball speed is getting faster and faster, looking at the more and more reluctance on Ou Chuliang's face, Giuseppe is gradually becoming proud.

At the end of the evening training, Ou Chuliang would laugh heartily about the events of the day, and he didn't seem to mind at all. At this time, Giuseppe also began to like this free and easy oriental young man.

But on the next day's training ground, the faces of both sides will become serious again, as if every time they touch the ball, they will crush the opponent to death.

"Create pressure" is the slogan of the team.

Everybody needs to create pressure, whether it's coach-to-player, substitute-to-coach through the media, substitute goalkeeper and first-choice goalkeeper to create pressure on each other, or club manager to everybody.

In Naples, Acchulian was under pressure not only from all sides, but also from himself.

On this day, for the first time since arriving in Naples, he did not control his emotions.

The team's contract reads, "In two years, Acchulian needs to play 40 games for Napoli".

But after Ou Chuliang came on for the first time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game in less than 3 minutes.

This kind of friendly match with a small local team is also counted as one of the games in Ouchulian's contract.

Tikel explained: "Friendlies are also a type of competition, the game you want to play in is the first division, don't worry, as long as you are in the team long enough, you will always have a chance to play. ”

To record this "rogue" wordplay in Naples, Acchulian needs to use his own experience to remind future generations.

Think about it and know that he is only the No. 3 goalkeeper. The goalkeeper who can play 20 games in the first division is already the number one.

This matter Ou Chuliang could barely accept, but on another matter, Ou Chuliang finally roared.

"Why didn't this matter be explained beforehand? You know the situation of the Chinese team, haven't you told the club? Ou Chuliang's eyes breathed fire, and he could see that he was indeed really angry.

"I'm sorry, Ou, I don't think I'm breaking the agreement. The special situation in your country is your country's business, and I am only responsible for the club. Tickel spread his hands.

The national team has arrived in England and has issued a call to Ouchuliang.

But Naples did not release them.

The reason is that the time for the top 10 matches has not yet arrived, and the club does not allow players to accept national team call-ups other than international A-level competitions.

That's the British training camp that our national staff has worked so hard to get!

Ou Chuliang wanted to shout this sentence out loud, but he held back.

Looking at Ticker's indifferent expression, Ou Chuliang knew that even if he said this, the other party would look at him with a look of "love can't help".

In this way, Naples declared its "sovereignty" over Acchulian. At the same time, it also made Ou Chuliang clear to himself that the players received two completely different extreme treatments before and after signing.

In the middle of the night, Ou Chuliang sat on the stool.

He clenched his fists, a little regretful.

The next day, Wang Junsheng called from England.

On the phone, Wang Junsheng's attitude and language were still so kind, and he didn't seem to have any thoughts about Ou Chuliang's "goodbye without saying goodbye".

"Chu Liang, you have to train hard over there and play well."

"Listen to the coaches and get along with your teammates."

"Some small things can be let go, it is a blessing to suffer, take a step back and open the sky, it is not as good as the domestic outside, and you can't be capricious."

"But if you encounter something that you can't solve by yourself, you must tell the local embassy as soon as possible, rest assured, the country will be your strongest backing."

"The national team quota is still reserved for you, and it's not too late for you to come back before the top 10 matches."

"Don't worry, it's good on the team's side. Your Jianlibao teammates are also very obedient, and they asked me to tell you to play well in Serie A and don't worry about them. ”

"Also, I heard that Naples is close to the sea, and the humidity is heavier there, so your sheets are covered with more sun. Autumn is coming, don't catch a cold..."

Wang Junsheng's every sentence was clear, Ou Chuliang held the microphone and listened to Wang Junsheng's chatter on the other end. In the end, Ou Chuliang finally couldn't help it, and his eyes were blurred by tears.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. I'm definitely going to train hard here, so look forward to seeing how I do when I return home! ”

"Huh! Okay. I know Chu Liang, you are a good boy, with your words, Uncle Wang is relieved..."
