Chapter 33: The Disgusted Pig Teammates
On the second day of the game, Mazzoni gave the whole team a day off and didn't have to train for the whole day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, Zhang Shu got up from the bed and ran out of the club's gate. I bought a copy of all the newspapers at a newsstand, and went from one to the other to find coverage of yesterday's game in Brescia.
The match between Brescia and Perugia was not the focus of the league round, with most newspapers just leaving a slot in the tofu cube-sized text for the match. But the local media in Brescia focused on the game and dominated most of the sports section.
THE DAILY NEWSPAPER GIOORNALEDIBRESCIA, NOW SPREAD OUT ON THE TABLE, HAS A PICTURE OF IT IN THE HEADLINES.
This photo is really good, the focus of the telephoto lens is on Zhang Shu's face, Zhang Shu in the photo is very clear, Zhang Shu in the picture has his back to the goal, raising his hands towards the sky. Behind him, the picture of the football about to fly into the goal is a little blurry, but it can still be seen that the goalkeeper of Perugia is still flying in the air, and the football has passed his hand, but it has not fallen into the goal for the time being.
The dynamic stadium in the background and the static celebration in the foreground create a strong contrast and an eerie sense of coordination.
"This Nima is so handsome." Zhang Shu sat on the bed in the dormitory, looked at his heroic posture in the newspaper and sighed.
---------------------------
After a few months of Italian learning, Zhang Shu's level of Italian is no longer the same as when he first arrived, he can only listen and speak, but cannot read and write. Now he can easily read what the local Italian media is praising him.
"The biggest discovery of the game was that Brescia replaced No. 28 Zhang Shu in the 80th minute of the game, and his mature performance on the pitch dazzled the crowd."
"Aiming for thousands of miles, the absolute superstar Lao Ji is in waiting. Ordered in danger, the youth youngsters laid the victory. ”
Baggio was substituted after scoring his 187th career Serie A goal and was replaced by Zhang, the youngest player in Brescia's first team. In August, Zhang had just celebrated his sixteenth birthday. The Chinese player was selected by Brescia's youth team this year and was subsequently moved to the first team. In the final moments of the game, it was the 16-year-old who scored the most exciting goal of the game. The goal also made him the youngest player to score in Serie A history. ”
Looking at these reports touting himself, Zhang Shu smiled. I didn't expect to set a Serie A record.
He thought for a moment, jumped out of bed barefoot, ran to the desk, and pulled out a pair of scissors and a notebook from a drawer.
These are valuable historical materials that must be well preserved. Maybe many years from now, when people want to study the greatest players in the history of football, they will have to rely on these first-hand sources!
----------------------------
Just as he was about to go back to bed to make newspaper clippings, the sound of a jingle bell suddenly sounded in the room.
Zhang Shuleng paused, what kind of sound is this? He looked to the corner where the sound was coming from, only to realize that it was the ringing of the phone in the dormitory.
Never received a phone call since he moved into the dormitory, life at the club was so simple that even when he was training, Igor would tell himself that he didn't need his dorm phone at all. So much so that he almost forgot that he had a phone in his room.
"Hello?" He picked up the earpiece and put it to his ear, and immediately, Tindy's voice came through the microphone.
"Zhang, how is it, how are you doing?"
'It's good, I'm in the first team and I scored a goal yesterday.
"Hahahaha, I watched that game. Congratulations, Zhang. Tinty's hearty laugh came from the other side of the microphone. Your performance made Mazzoni sit still. The club called me today and asked me to come and talk about your new contract. ”
Hearing such good news, Zhang Shu whistled, "Cool~~~ Then what do I need to do?" Just wait for you to come over and negotiate the contract together, right? ”
As if some painful memories were evoked, Zhang Shu's words were interrupted by Tingti's haste before he could speak.
"Don't! Thousand! Ten thousand! No! Want! ”
Perhaps thinking that his tone was a little too anxious, Tingdi took a deep breath, "Zhang, I'll help you negotiate the contract with the club, you must not interfere again." "Maybe the last time I negotiated with Zhang Shu was too painful, Tingti's voice was a little pleading." You just have to play in peace, I'll take care of the rest, don't say anything about the contract. ”
Zhang Shu rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, what Tingdi said was almost that he was a pig teammate.
--------------------------
Tingdi came quickly, and at noon, he and Zhang Shu had already met in the city.
In fact, the focus of Tindy's career has been almost entirely on Milan in recent times, and this season Carlo Ancelotti has transformed Andrea Pirlo into an unconventional midfielder. Pirlo did not show any discomfort with this change, he did not need to take on too many defensive tasks in the midfield position, and still did the work of the midfield, so that because he was away from the crowded front court to gain more passing vision and space, Ancelotti's forward midfield can be called a stroke of genius.
As things stand, Pirlo is showing signs of becoming a great star. Tinti's recent work has also revolved around Pirlo.
"Zhang, congratulations." The first time he saw Zhang Shu, Tingdi came up and gave him a hug. "You've gotten a lot stronger, and you're looking more and more like a pro."
"I'm a professional footballer." Zhang Shu replied angrily. He was still angry that Tinty hated him for dragging his feet.
"Okay, pro players on the bus." Tingdi didn't care about Zhang Shu's tone and made a joke. "But that's what I'm here for, so that when the negotiations are over, you can become a professional player who doesn't have to worry about taxi money."
Like most European countries, taxis in Italy are expensive. Of course, only relative to the average person. Even if the youth contract is signed, there is still money for a taxi. It's just that unlike in China, taxis in Italy are difficult to stop on the road, and you usually need to call to make an appointment. And the only taxi driver's phone number on Zhang Shu's hand was Turio's brother Augusto.
In view of the fact that he still has to meet with Tingdi today, Zhang Shu feels that it is better not to let himself appear in front of Tingdi too embarrassed. Who knew that he chose the bus, but he still couldn't escape Tindy's teasing.
After the joke, Tindy finally got back to business.
"So, Zhang, do you have any requirements for a new contract?"
