The duel with Kong Zhendong is not only full of Yang Min's resentment against the past national team, but also the expectation of revenge for his own style of play being buried. This duel is also about his future life in Italy, whether his children can get equal Italian resources, this duel, this duel, can not be lost.

On Saturday after the Wolverines and Skiers ended their local derby, the Wolverines beat a mid-table team again, winning 3-1 to give Wolverines all three points.

The following Tuesday, the Wolverine's coach and players boarded a flight from Stockholm to Milan.

Because the leagues of various countries are concentrated on Saturday and Sunday, the qualifying rounds and group stage times of the table tennis European Champions Cup are arranged in the middle of the week, and only after the semi-finals will be more fierce competition, they will negotiate with the leagues of various countries to postpone the leagues of the relevant teams and arrange the games on the weekend.

The final quota for the European Table Tennis Champions Cup is divided into eight groups of 24 teams, starting from the group stage, which is a home-and-away double-elimination system.

The official European Championship will not start until January 93, and from late November to December, the four teams selected through the qualifying rounds will be selected one after another.

The qualifying format is that there is no home and away match, and the winner is determined to be who is higher in their respective leagues and who has the home advantage.

Milan 1982 were third in the Italian league last year, while Wolverine Stockholm were fifth in the Swedish league last year, so the qualifying tournament is set to be held at Milan's home stadium.

This year's Swedish league schedule is quite strange, Kong Zhendong participated in a total of six rounds of the league from the fifth to the tenth of the league, although the matchup against the Skiers is counted as an away matchup, but the six games have not left Stockholm, and there has been no real cross-city road trip.

Kong Zhendong's first European away game, but he went to the football mecca, Milan, Italy, which made Kong Zhendong feel a little unreal.

The flight landed in Milan and the atmosphere of the fashion capital came to you.

Sitting on the bus rented by the team to the hotel, the most you see on the way are all kinds of expensive sports cars, beautiful women dressed in avant-garde novelty, and children on the road and in the park, wearing the uniforms of various football stars to play football wantonly.

This is the capital of luxury cars, fashion, beauty, and football, so what will be the table tennis atmosphere here? Kong Zhendong was full of curiosity.

As Sweden's lost table tennis giants, the Wolverines are not well funded, and they don't even have first-class treatment when they go abroad to play, of course, they don't take charter flights like football teams.

Kong Zhendong, who came to Milan in economy class, and the other team members were just curious about why there were so many reporters on the same flight, and they took it for granted that Milan, as a fashion capital, had hundreds of fashion shows staged every day, and it was natural to attract reporters.

Kong Zhendong and the others would not have thought that in the first-class cabin just a door away from them, the sisters Victoria and Madeleine came to Milan with their own thoughts.

Victoria and Madeleine thought their disguise was perfect, but they didn't know that in addition to the Swedish media, dozens of European media outlets had already gathered in Milan.

As soon as they got off the plane, Victoria and Madeleine originally planned to stay in a hotel near the stadium of the Milan 1982 team's home game, but as soon as they got off the plane, they were surrounded by reporters from all walks of life, and they had to change their itinerary temporarily.

Sitting in the extended luxury car arranged by Sir Edward and his Italian friends, Victoria stroked her chest, which was wheezing sharply from avoiding reporters, and asked Madeleine: "So many reporters around us?" What to do? Will it be taken directly to the Wolverine? ”

Madeleine took off the malt-colored politeness on her head, fanned the wind slightly, and said: "Anyway, the game is tomorrow night, with a group of reporters, let them point their guns and short guns at you, what do you mean by watching the ball?" Isn't it just a wooden man? Let's start today, and take these reporters to a few shows. ”

Victoria smiled and continued: "You still have a way, take them in circles, and when they find out that a few shows are boring in a row, they will give up, and then we can get rid of them and watch the game freely." ”

As soon as she said and did it, Victoria asked Sir Edward's Italian friends to start contacting invitations to attend the important fashion show today and tomorrow.

Sir Edward's great energy, coupled with the special status of the Victorian sisters, no matter how big the fashion show, the presence of the sisters is desperate. Other celebrities couldn't help but rub the red carpet show invitations, and within an hour or two, they were sent to Victoria and Madeleine.

The sisters will fill the entire trip this afternoon, evening, tomorrow morning, and afternoon, with various big-name fashion shows, and then begin to take reporters around in circles.

While Victoria and Madeleine were taking European journalists on the show, players such as Kong Zhendong and Sith Pan had already begun their acclimatisation at Milan 1982.

Kong Zhendong finally got a glimpse of the table tennis atmosphere in Milan, Italy.

Milan is the mecca of football in Italy and even Europe, AC Milan, Inter Milan, bring too much passion and glory to the city.

In Milan, although table tennis is a relatively unpopular sport, the entire Italian sports industry is very developed, sports professionalization, and commercial operation is very mature and standardized, so Italian table tennis is not ranked in the top ten in Europe, but the popularity of the table tennis league and the success of commercial operation are definitely squeezed into the top five.

Therefore, although the Milan 1982 team is only a club that has just been established for ten years, the training environment is not weaker than that of the Wolverine, and even exceeds the training conditions of the capital team.

According to the European Champions Cup, the Wolverines will arrive in Milan on Tuesday and will be able to acclimatise at the Milan 1982 Club training stadium and the following afternoon, they will receive a one-hour simulation training at the competition venue.

It's a pity that Kong Zhendong didn't meet Yang Min introduced by Coach Bengesen in training. As a senior who has worked hard in Europe for several years, Kong Zhendong hopes to learn the experience of living in a foreign country from him.

However, there are also gains that make Kong Zhendong excited. The staff of Milan 982 took the Wolverines players on a tour of their showroom and introduced the team's history.

Among them, Mi Xingbang is a section of ink and color that cannot be bypassed.

Kong Zhendong saw many items used by Mi Xingbang here six or seven years ago in the showroom, coaching and guidance on the field, and holding trophies high on the podium. Because Mi Xingbang is a restrained and low-key character, Kong Zhendong rarely heard him mention the Italian table tennis godfather years in China. In this showroom, I learned about the more vivid Mi Xingbang.

The next day, after an hour of acclimatization training at the competition venue, at 7 p.m., the European Champions Cup qualifying tournament officially began!
