Nesta asked the assistant coach to immediately call Yang Min in to study tactics against the Wolverines and Kong Zhendong.

A few minutes later, following the assistant coach into the tactics room was a Chinese with short hair standing up, tall and mature among the Orientals, the whole person exuded the sharp spirit of an athlete in his twenties, but his face looked like a middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen.

It has been more than three years since Yang Min came to Milan 1982 Club, and coach Nesta still remembers the scene of Yang Min's first year.

At that time, the head coach was still Mi Xingbang, and he told the management that he had introduced a player who was the absolute No. 1 player in the local provincial team in China, but when Yang Min entered the Milan 1982 club, Mi Xingbang happened to be called up by the Italian national team to lead the team to participate in European competitions, and then was called back to China by the Chinese national team.

Therefore, Yang Min has just entered the Milan 1982 team, but his guide has returned to the Chinese national team, and with the personnel adjustment, Yang Min's position in the Milan 1982 team has become awkward.

With a language barrier and a lack of communication, the new head coach Nesta has already decided to terminate his contract early and send him away.

At the last moment, Yang Min chose a Chinese-style response, he only said one sentence in his broken English, that is: "I want to play a game against the absolute No. 1 Poland in the team, Soskiev, he scored more than 10 points, I don't want to release the contract, roll up and leave." ”

When Chinese are abroad, they are modest and cautious and do not cause trouble. But at the moment when he was about to be swept away, Yang Min's pride as a Chinese table tennis player exploded.

It was also a particularly shocking game for Nesta, who had seen many of the top players in Asia and Europe face off before.

Ben Gesen, Ape Allen, Poland's Gruba, and Czech Republic's Orlovsky represented Europe against Asia's Mi Xingbang, Guo Yuehua, Jiang Jialiang, South Korea's Liu Nankui, and North Korea's Li Genxiang.

This kind of mutual victory and defeat of the top masters at the top has always made Nesta feel that the overall strength of Eurasian table tennis is equal.

However, when the absolute main force of the Milan 1982 team, the second-rate European player Soskiev played against Yang Min of the Chinese provincial team, when the final score was fixed at 21:9, he really recognized the huge gap between the second-rate European players and the Chinese provincial team players in terms of strength.

The sound of the finished tape was heard, dragging coach Nesta back from his memories to reality.

Nesta asked Yang Mindao: "Did you watch the match between Kong Zhendong and Zhang Lei just now?" I feel like the two of them are fighting against each other with pure Chinese tactics, what do you think? ”

Suddenly, two Chinese players were seen in the picture representing the Swedish club in a tiebreaker, and Yang Min was enthusiastic about it. He nodded and said: "I haven't returned to China for more than three years, I have played against Zhang Lei many times in the domestic national championships, and I have won and lost each other, I led the Shanghai team team to fight the capital team many times, our overall strength is weaker, I only won once." ”

Yang Min was the No. 1 main force of China's Shanghai team, although the Shanghai team only won the capital team once, and lost more and won less, but his tone was full of pride, because under his leadership, the Shanghai team was able to counterattack when the overall strength was very large and the gap between the capital team was very large, precisely because he won the No. 1 main force Zhang Lei of the capital team.

Yang Min is the inheritor of China's straight board rubber, so although he was already the No. 1 main force in the domestic Shanghai Stock Exchange and a frequent visitor to the quarterfinals of the National Championships, he has never had the opportunity to enter the national team.

Because of the technical reformists in the national team at that time, the horizontal board faction had the upper hand, except for a very talented teenager like Liu Guobang who was retained in the national youth team as the flame of straight board inheritance, the national team of adult straight board positive rubber fast break athletes like Yang Min who had been technically stereotyped closed the door to them.

This is the biggest resentment in Yang Min's heart.

Yang Min recalled the video of the game just now: "Zhang Lei's performance, in our Chinese dialect, is called painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, he obviously felt that the European arc ability has been strengthened, but it is not well integrated with his original style of play." The Chinese sideboard boy opposite him is very active, and his basic skills and fighting are very good, and he has great potential. ”

Nesta introduced: "This teenager is the absolute main force of the Swedish Wolverine team we will play next week, and Kong Zhendong, who was selected by the Chinese national team to Europe, heard that it is the hope of China's future horizontal board." ”

Selected by the national team? What is the hope for the future?

Every definition of Coach Nesta poked at the tears and anger in Yang Min's heart.

At such a young age, the national team will be sent out to accumulate experience? But what about yourself? I worked hard to reach the first brother of the provincial team, but I couldn't find the threshold of the national team, so I finally got through the relationship and went to Europe to play in my private capacity, but I was almost cut off by the coach.

In the past few years, I have paid several times more sweat and hard work than others, and I am finally one step away from Italy's talent introduction standards and the coveted European green card, but this kid, so young, why did he get a place in the national team to play in Europe?

What is the hope for the future? It's a joke, Ma Wenhua, Zhang Lei, weren't they all once the hope of China's horizontal board?

The result?

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy can't see the strength and talent of people at all, and it is very likely that he will be unknown to everyone in a few years, why should he be branded with the hope of the horizontal board now?

I obviously have reached the peak of the strength of the straight board, but I said that it was an outdated and eliminated technology, which stopped me from the threshold of the national team.

All right! Then I'll destroy it next week, so I can show you how terrifying the technology you think is eliminated, and how vulnerable the future king of the horizontal board you have cultivated!

Yang Min nodded and said: "In this game with Zhang Lei, I feel that Zhang Lei has not made significant progress compared to a few years ago, this Chinese teenager is more daring to fight and more proactive, and these advantages will become vulnerable in front of our straight and fast attack!" ”

Vastner of Milan's 1982 team experienced: "The verification officer of the immigration office has contacted our team several times, and you have been playing for our Milan team for more than three years. I hope that they will not affect your form, and I asked them to postpone the final review process until after the competition, and hopefully celebrate you with a victory and becoming an Italian citizen through the Exceptional Talent Program. ”

Yang Min felt a burst of excitement in his heart, he didn't want to be an Italian in his heart. However, after more than three years of wandering in Europe, his wife who can't find a job in the Chinese community, and his son, who has reached school age but can't get into a good school, all make him understand that a green card means a better life for his family and a future for his son.

Next week, fight!
