Chapter 146: Zaccaro

Zhang Shu looked at the man in front of him, he was about 30 years old, with a strong physique and a stocky body. The lower jaw of the pen, the www.biquge.info is wide, and the bite muscles are very developed. The weather in Italy in May had already begun to get hot, and he rolled up the sleeves of his blue shirt to his arms, revealing his thick forearms.

Zhang Shu didn't know the other party's intentions, but at least judging from his appearance, it shouldn't be a scout or some other profession carrying a briefcase. He's more of a worker, and people like that are a major part of Brescia's fans.

"Sir? Do you have anything to do with me? Zhang Shu showed a smile to the other party, and he was still very friendly to his fans.

Zazaro was a little nervous, and the words he had rehearsed several times in his mind were almost all forgotten at once, and he opened his mouth to finally say the first sentence. "Can you give me my scarf back?"

"Huh?" Zhang Shu was a little stunned all of a sudden, he thought that the other party wanted to get an autograph or a group photo or something, but what scarf did the other party say?

However, he quickly reacted, "The scarf I picked up in the last game was yours?" ”

"That's right, that's right, it's mine, you didn't throw it away, did you?" Zazaro explained incoherently: "That scarf was a keepsake that I had treasured for many years, and it had a special meaning for me, when I slipped my hand... ”

Zhang Shu smiled, he thought it was something big, it turned out to be just for a scarf.

"The scarf is still in my closet in Riga Monti, um~~~ Do you have a car? Why don't we go and pick it up at noon? ”

"Yes! Some! Zazaro nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, you'll wait for me at the club gate after the morning training is over." Zhang Shu said to the other party, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know that scarf was so important to you, I'll invite you to dinner at noon!" ”

Zhang Shu is still a little embarrassed about directly taking the things he picked up and keeping them for himself, facing the owner who came to the door, as a Chinese who has received the education of "collecting gold and not ignorance" since childhood.

He scratched his head, "Now I have to go back to training, so we'll see you at noon?" ”

"Okay, okay!" Zaccaro first kept nodding his head, and then waved his hand violently, "It's okay, it's okay, it's already bothering you, you don't need to invite me to dinner!" ”

Zazaro wanted to say, "You helped me, I should have invited you to dinner", but after thinking about the level of consumption of professional players, he still couldn't say it.

I'm just an ordinary worker, but I don't have that much money to invite a professional player to dinner.

Regarding Zaccaro's excuse, Zhang Shu just smiled, nodded to the other party, turned around and ran away.

The Brescia fans who were watching around cast envious glances at Zaccaro, and they could have lunch with Zhang! How nice it would be if this opportunity to get up close and personal with the club's stars happened to them!

If they knew they could get this opportunity by dropping a scarf, they should have done it a long time ago!

In the dolcevite restaurant at noon, Zhang Shu looked at Zaccaro, who was sitting opposite him, and the other party was still a little restrained. It can be seen that this honest worker is still a little unaccustomed to this kind of high-end restaurant.

Although the other party repeatedly said that Zhang Shu didn't need to invite him to dinner, under the excuse that Zhang Shu had to take his car back to the club after dinner, he could only accompany Zhang Shu to the restaurant where Tingdi brought Zhang Shu to eat for the first time after Zhang Shu signed the contract.

"Mr. ZachΓ‘ro, can you tell me any special story about that scarf?" In the gap before waiting for the food to be served, Zhang Shu asked with some curiosity.

Zazaro smiled a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's nothing special, that scarf is the style of the club in '94, the year the club won the England-Italy Cup, so it will mean a little bit more special to us fans." ”

"What cup?" Zhang Shu thought he hadn't heard clearly, but the other party was wrong, right? All he knows is the Coppa Italia, England - what the hell is the Coppa Italia.

"England-Coppa Italia." The other party emphasized again.

"In '69, England's Swindon won the League Cup, but because they were in Group C, they couldn't participate in the European Fair Cup, so in order to make up for them, the English Football Association founded this cup, which was discontinued in '73, and was revived in '92 to replace the FA Champions Cup, and we won the championship at Wembley Stadium in the final in '94. That's what I was holding up with this scarf and watching the players lift the cups. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this cup." Zhang Shu felt that he was simply lonely, he was not familiar with this Raushzi Cup, he had never heard of it at all.

Zazaro smiled understandingly, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this cup was resumed in '92 and stopped again after '95. ”

"For a young player like you, you don't really care about these small cups, but this is the only trophy Brescia have won besides the Serie B title."

"My father was a Brescia fan and the first game I watched was also a Brescia game. I was born here, I'm not going to leave here, Brescia is my home team forever. There will be all kinds of trophies in other big games, but it doesn't matter, we have our trophies too, and in our eyes, this trophy is not inferior to the Champions League trophy. ”

'We don't care what the other teams are doing, they have good results, we don't be jealous, they beat us, we don't boo them, we just cheer for Brescia, no matter how small the results are, we are proud of it.'

Zhang Shu looked at the proud Zazaro and felt empathy.

In his hometown, there is also such a team. Also in 94, this team set off a yellow whirlwind in the professional field of Chinese football, and the cheers of hometown fans have since spread all over the country.

The team was not strong and fell into the mire of relegation in the second year after the start of the professional league. It was under the joint efforts of the hometown fans and the team that the vigorous Chengdu defense battle finally won the victory.

At that time, Zhang Shu also followed his father to stand in the stands of the adult sports center, shouting hoarsely for the hometown team.

But before Zhang Shu came to Italy, due to economic reasons, the team had been sold to the domestic overlord Dalian, and since then the situation has deteriorated.

In the hearts of many fans, when the unyielding yellow hurricane finally succumbed to become the "second team" of another team, the team that belonged to the hometown fans was already dead, and the rest was just the colonial team of the first-ranked hegemon.

Zazaro still has the home team to make him crazy for the team every weekend, but what about the fans in his hometown? When that "second team" faces the real "first team" and can send three points without any aggressiveness, can they still cheer them on as their home team?

For a while, Zhang Shu's mood became a little sad.

"Ha, Zhang, we have a good momentum this year! I believe in you! We're going to be in the Champions League! "Perhaps seeing that Zhang Shu's mood was a little low, Zazaro turned the conversation to the current good form of the team." We haven't even been to the UEFA Cup, and we didn't expect to be able to go to the Champions League this year! Ha ha! Honestly, it's been a fantastic season. ”

"Since Robbie came to the team, the team has been able to stay in the First Division every year, and Zhang you! We've hardly lost since you came in! ”

"The two best things Chairman Corioni has done over the years is to sign you and Robbie!"

"Zhang, we're ready to help you set up a fan club! What do you think should be the best name? What do you think of the Chinese little swallow? ”

"I'm looking forward to accompanying the team to the home stadium of those giants next year! Be sure to let the big clubs see our enthusiasm when the time comes! ”

Seeing the excited Zazaro looking forward to the future of the team, Zhang Shu's mood slowly improved.

Yes, even if Brescia is just a small club now, so what, the possibilities for our future are endless!

England - Coppa Italia? I'm not aiming for such a non-existent trophy!

Over the next few days of training, Mazzoni found that Zhang Shu was more motivated and focused than before. Even the comments on his arrogant remarks in the "Roma Sports Newspaper", Zhang Shu did not pay attention to them.

Since Zhang Shu announced the victory over Lazio in advance at the post-match press conference of the last match and ridiculed the current situation of Lazio, "Roma Sport" has completely torn off the mask of objectivity and neutrality, and has continued to criticize and attack Zhang Shu from the position of Lazio.

They even set up a section dedicated to letters from Lazio fans to the newspaper. It was full of provocations and invective against Zhang Shu and Brescia. Although at the end of those letters there will be a small line of small print: "This statement only represents the individual fans, and does not represent the position of this newspaper". But everyone knows that is the attitude of Roma Sport.

Mazzoni originally thought that Zhang Shu, who had been released from the ban, would have a good time scolding the other party, but he didn't expect him to restrain himself and just put all his energy into the team's training every day.

It seems that Zhang is working hard for the Champions League place. Mazzoni was relieved to think that he would be confident of beating Lazio at the weekend and leading his team back to the top four.

It was fast forward to the weekend, and the players were on their way to Rome a day early. They are more than ready to win the game.

Lazio has not been idle for a week, and in order to qualify for the Champions League, or rather, to get the Champions League participation prize money and reduce the financial pressure on the club, Lazio FC has also given everything to it.

After painstaking negotiations, Lazio manager Emir Ballardi reached an agreement with the team's 18 players, who agreed to accept the club's five-month salary arrears in the form of shares. Lazio can also pay their salaries in instalments for the next three years.

And in order to put enough pressure on Brescia for the weekend's game, Lazio FC once again resorted to the same approach they did when they faced Porto in the UEFA Cup: a euro ticket. Anyone who is a woman, a teenager under the age of 16 and anyone who orders a package ticket will receive a ticket for one euro for the race. Nearly 30,000 of these one-euro tickets were quickly sold, and if you add in the 28,000 fans who had already purchased the package, the Stadio Olimpico would have at least 60,000 Lazio fans on the weekend.

Lazio coach Roberto Mancini said: "I have no doubt what a warm home environment the fans will create and the team will give back a win for the loyal and passionate fans! ”

Although he didn't go into battle to scold, Zhang Shu still read the newspaper. Seeing these reports, he couldn't help but complain to his teammates.

"Cut~~~~ 'loyal fans' who still have to gather wool at a time of the club's financial crisis...

Zhang Shu slept well the night before the game, Rome is the capital of Italy, and the hotels here are much more comfortable than those in the small city of Brescia. Early the next morning, a refreshed Zhang Shu came to the hotel restaurant to prepare a good breakfast with his teammates.

He was greeted with serious faces.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Shu asked puzzled.

Tareh handed him a newspaper, the most common newspaper in southern Italy, Rome Sport. Zhang Shu saw the huge black font on the front of the page at a glance.

"Brescia Fan Trouble"

"Last night, a group of Brescia fans coming to Rome clashed with another group of Lazio fans in an alley, causing a massive brawl. As a result of the clashes, a number of people were injured, one of them seriously。。。。。 β€œ

Zhang Shu didn't read the rest of the content anymore, and his attention was completely attracted by the photos distributed next to the report.

He was familiar with that bloody face, and he had lunch with him the other day before.

Zaccaro.

Zaccaro, who once looked incredibly strong, was lying on his hospital bed, his Brescia jersey had been torn and there were large patches of blood on it, and he was being taken to an ambulance by paramedics, and the ground next to him was in a mess, with broken beer bottles, broken sticks, newspapers, cardboard boxes, and garbage cans. There were also large blood stains on the ground, and it was clear that it was the first scene of the fight.

Zhang Shu felt that his temples were beating non-stop, and he could even hear the sound of "gurgling" from the blood in his veins.

"! Let his ** fart! He scolded loudly.

He didn't believe the words of "Roma Sport", fans all over Italy know that Lazio's far-right fans are notorious, who will clash with each other when they are alone away from home.

He froze, took two deep breaths, and continued reading.

"The injured fan has been taken to the Santa Maria Hospital in Rome and this newspaper will continue to monitor the follow-ups. Lazio fans have always been treated with colored glasses, but the vast majority of them are ordinary fans. In other parts of Italy, the real football hooligans are not taken seriously enough。。。。。 ”

Zhang Shu closed the newspaper, and there was no need to read the in the back.

You say that Zakaro, who only cheers for the home team and doesn't even boo the away team, is a football hooligan? A fool would believe the slanderous words of Zazaro in the newspapers.

Damn, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, so you think you can spread rumors casually, right? And the extreme fans of Lazio, a dozen people suspended is not enough, right?

Okay, come on, hurt each other! (To be continued.) )
