Chapter 45: Staying in the Ocean
The night was spent uneventfully. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early the next morning, the staff of the "Elite" club came to the hotel room and knocked on the door, reminding everyone to gather at the hotel gate at 9 o'clock and take the bus to the training venue.
The breakfast provided by the hotel is basic, but the taste is not bad. However, Shi Hao didn't eat too much, so as not to have stomach pain during training.
He and Daniel Zhang went downstairs separately, and when they arrived at the door of the hotel, the teenagers were almost gathered.
As soon as 9 o'clock arrived, the leaders of the two teams announced the gathering, counted the number of people, and everyone got on the bus one after another. Two buses took the teenagers from both teams to different training grounds.
The weather is very good, the sun is shining, but it is not particularly hot, which is very suitable for sports. On the bus, a few teenagers played HIGH songs on their mobile phones, swaying with the tunes, laughing loudly, and recklessly reckless with their youth. A camera was pointed at them, filming the draft process.
Shi Hao looked at them with some envy, but did not join. Although he is sometimes a little funny, and he can joke when he is with friends, he is not very suitable for crowded occasions and always can't let go.
It is only on the pitch that he exalts his personality, runs and fights, laughs at victory, roars at mistakes, and weeps at defeat.
The training ground is not far away, and the bus drove for more than ten minutes to arrive. It's a college football field, with artificial turf and rudimentary facilities, but it's enough for tactical training.
After everyone jumped out of the car one after another, the team leader stood in the middle of the green field and blew the whistle to announce the assembly. Behind the team leader is a foreigner with curly brown hair, whose name was already known to everyone at the meeting last night - Bergomi, who has the same surname as the former Inter Milan meritorious right-back, but is not related. This is a coach from Inter's academy who will be in charge of the two days of training and developing tactics.
A female translator with glasses and a single eyelid stood behind Belgomi, who was not pretty, but always smiling and looking very amiable.
The team leader announced the plan for today's itinerary and handed everything over to Bergomi.
Bergomi greeted everyone with a smile and said that he hoped that everyone would have fun playing football and that they would be able to show their talents to the fullest when they played two days later. It was then stated that the team would be in a shallow saucer 442 formation, and the respective positions of the 22 players were announced.
Shi Hao will play in the first half and play as a right wing-back.
Speaking of which, the most advantageous in this draft is the goalkeeper, with 4 goalkeepers competing for a place in Italy. The other 5 positions, central defender, full-back, midfielder, full-back, and forward, are all 8 people competing for a spot.
Next, Bergomi began to talk about tactical play. The female translator with a gentle smile didn't seem to know football, and the translation was weird, which made everyone a little confused.
Bergomi saw this, too, but he didn't say anything. In his opinion, it was just a show game anyway, and the lads just played casually and had fun.
The tactical explanation did not last long, and soon Bergomi announced that the 22 teenagers would be divided into two teams according to the order in which they appeared in the first and second halves.
Everyone played very relaxed and polite. Because this is not a game to decide the number of places, everyone has no intention of competing, the defensive players do not move much, and the attacking players do not only care about their own performance, they are still willing to pass the ball when they can pass.
Although it was only a match, Shi Hao quickly got into the groove. He's hungry right now, hungry for more goals and more wins. As long as there is a ball to play, even if it is just this kind of intra-team competition, he feels happy.
His activity soon caught Bergomi's attention.
"Who's that?"
Translator Li Xiuzhen hurriedly took out the player list, searched for it against the photos, and then said: "His name is Shi Hao." ”
"Okay? Well, great lad, very imaginative. Belgomi praised.
When he said this, Shi Hao had just picked up the ball in front of the penalty area, and then attracted two defenders to burst into the box with the ball, and at the last moment, he suddenly made a back-heel pass to give his teammates a great opportunity to shoot.
As an excellent youth coach, although Bergomi's task in this draft is only to lead the team to play one game, out of professionalism, he is still accustomed to analyzing these teenagers in front of him from a professional point of view.
Originally, he should have stopped the game from time to time in the confrontation to convey his tactical ideas. But as the game progressed, he forgot about it and watched the young players intently.
"These kids ...... The kick was too loose. ”
Li Xiuzhen, who was very close, heard Bergomi's muttering clearly.
Bergomi wasn't happy with what he saw.
Although the scene looked good, the two sides attacked and defended each other, there were beautiful passes, there were good shots, there were exciting saves, but these were all illusions.
If you let your Inter Milan 18-year-old echelon, no, even if it is just a 15-year-old echelon child, play against these young Chinese players, you can easily beat their fragile formation to the ground.
The only bright spot was the "good thing", this kid played with great energy, was very technically solid, and at the same time very tactically minded, and was able to fully fulfill the duties of a full-back in this shallow saucer 442 position. It can not only pull the edge, make good use of the width of the field, but also appear in the middle of the field in a timely manner to respond and enhance the thickness of the midfield.
If he had the right to decide, he wouldn't need to do any drafts, and he would have directly circled this "good thing" as a member of the itinerary to Italy.
It's a pity that he didn't have a say in this matter.
Let's take a look. Bergomi has decided that if the boy can continue to perform like this in the next few days, even if he is not selected for the six-man squad, he will have to report to the Academy Director Mark when he returns to Italy. Monty recommended this kid.
After the intra-team match in the morning, Bergomi made a few brief comments and announced the end of the training. Everyone took the bus back to the hotel for dinner and rest, and then had another training session from 3 to 5 pm.
After eating, Shi Hao and Daniel Zhang returned to the room one after another, and the two still did not talk.
Daniel Zhang turned on the TV, while Shi Hao watched the news on his mobile phone.
Suddenly, Daniel Zhang heard Shi Hao scolding. He turned his head to look and saw Shi Hao's face flushed, and he looked indignant. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"This bastard...... Shi Hao looked up, "not about you. ”
"And who are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about Jun Yingzhi, this bastard. Do you know him? ”
Daniel Zhang nodded: "I've heard of it." ”
Shi Hao handed over the phone, "Look at it yourself." ”
Daniel Zhang looked down, and the eye-catching title jumped into view: "Chinese genius joins the Bianconeri".
He watched the news at a glance and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a while: "He transferred to Juventus?" ”
"Yes, this traitor! If we meet in the future, we will be mortal enemies! Shi Hao said angrily.
According to the news, Juventus officially announced the signing of Jun Yingzhi, a 19-year-old SH Shenhua player and the main striker of the U19 Chinese youth team. The transfer fee and contract details have not been announced for the time being, and the Torino sports newspaper analyzes that the transfer fee is about 1.5 million euros, and Jun Yingzhi's annual salary will reach 1.2 million euros before tax.
However, Jun Yingzhi will not appear in Serie A next season. Juventus have already bought Krasic from CSKA Moscow in this transfer window, depleting non-European places. Therefore, Jun Yingzhi was introduced by Juventus through the satellite team Siena, and does not occupy Juventus's non-European quota this season.
Siena finished 19th in Serie A last season and were relegated to the second division, so Jun Yingzhi will only be able to compete in Serie B for the next year.
Shi Hao thought sourly: Although you stayed in the ocean earlier than me, you are going to Italy B. And I might be able to join Inter Milan and compete in Serie A. I didn't lose to you, bastard!
