In the evening, Shi Hao arrived at the agreed café on time, and Qin Wanjun was only a minute or two late. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Compared to the last time we had dinner together, she was obviously a little haggard, and Shi Hao had also experienced the pressure of the third year of high school, so she could only sympathize with it.

After the two sat down, Qin Wanjun smiled and said that she had skipped class. Obviously, she didn't dress up in any way, and her clothes were quite plain, just a down tracksuit.

The content of the chat was nothing special, just to talk about football and their recent situation, Qin Wanjun complained a little about the mountain of extracurricular homework, and then asked Shi Hao to talk about the details of training at Facchetti Camp.

Qin Wanjun listened to the training methods in Italy and the bits and pieces of Shi Hao's life with relish. Her large, flickering eyes seemed to have crossed the ocean to see the fertile land of football by the Mediterranean.

Perhaps this is how she touches her dreams that will never be realized.

After sitting for more than an hour, Qin Wanjun offered to go back. She didn't let Shi Hao send it, and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that your family will be jealous when you see the rain?" ”

Standing at the door of the coffee shop, she suddenly turned around and hugged Shi Hao gently, and then ran away with a smile.

Shi Hao watched her leave quietly, suddenly feeling a little sentimental, but he didn't know why.

……

In the early morning of the 5th, Shi Hao returned to Italy. The winter break is over, and the team is regrouping.

Shi Hao, who has returned to his friends, is even more like a fish in water, and his "fluent Italian" makes his communication with his teammates and coaches no longer hindered.

Coady was pleased to find out that a young player who can get past the language barrier tends to improve faster, which is big news for him.

Because after the opening of the transfer winter window, several of his favorite players such as Destro and Caldi Rolla were loaned out. He was a bit stretched thin, having had to draw a few players from the Under-18s, with Krissettig and Romano, who had just turned 17, promoted to the Under-20s.

However, in the U20 echelon, they can only be used as substitutes, and the position of the main midfielder is firmly controlled by Kernersmulna, Spenderhofer, Magnus, Besa and others.

With the arrival of Leonardo, the U20 echelon was required to play more 4312 and 4213 formations, with two defensive midfielders plus an attacking midfielder or three defensive midfielders and an attacking midfielder.

The new formation has only been running in for two days, and the team has encountered a tough battle.

On January 7, Inter Milan U20 played Juventus U20 at the San Siro Stadium.

Since he has not yet reversed the jet lag, Shi Hao's physical condition is not ideal, and this time he only appeared as a substitute.

When he came on in place of Diamm in the 74th minute, the team was still down 1-0. It was clear that the lads were not yet comfortable with the new formation and tactics, with frequent passing and receiving errors, and the departure of Caldirola had a very big impact on the backline.

Shi Hao didn't get much strong support after coming on the field, but he staged a good show of riding alone in the 88th minute, breaking through on the right side and calmly knocking on the opponent's goalkeeper to assist Simeone. Dragelo scored the equaliser.

Shi Hao finally started again in the away game against Palermo Under-20s on 12 January, scoring a goal in the game before being substituted in the 64th minute.

On the morning of the 13th, Shi Hao was called to Cody's office.

After letting Shi Hao sit down, Cody got straight to the point: "Shi Hao, after this period of observation of you, I have higher expectations for you. But now you obviously don't meet my requirements. ”

Shi Hao sat quietly and did not speak.

'You've been more concise with the ball, which is good but it's not enough, and I want you to be more efficient and give up some of the little moves that aren't practical and make the team more fluid up front.

Shi Hao nodded: "I know." ”

"Also," Cody's voice became stern, "your fitness is not ideal, and you should know that you know that your physical ability is not up to the team's requirements. ”

"Yes, sir, I will try to improve." Shi Hao was a little helpless. Of course, he knows that these things need to be improved, and modern football is becoming more and more about physical confrontation, which is the general trend. But he doesn't know how to improve!

"First of all, you have to be very strict with your diet, I have already talked to the chief dietitian, Mr. Biraghi, you go to him, he will make a recipe for you, you have to eat strictly according to the diet. I know you Orientals may not be used to this style of eating, but as a professional player you have to adapt. ”

Shi Hao had no objection: "No problem, sir." ”

"In terms of fitness and physical confrontation, you go to Mr. Niccollet after each training session, he has agreed to make a separate training plan for you, and as long as you do what you are asked to do, I think it will improve very quickly."

"Yes." Shi Hao has no relatives in Italy, and the time other than training every day is really boring, so it is better to use it for practice. Of course he's not a training freak, not really.

After leaving Cody's office, Shi Hao first went to Biraghi, a nutritionist, and then went to change clothes after getting his own recipe.

From now on, he would eat three meals a day at the club, and on his days off, he would have to solve it by himself, and he could not trouble Mr. Donadoni with anything.

For athletes, taste is secondary, and nutritional value is the most important thing – Shi Hao comforted himself. His mind flashed hot roast duck, fragrant pig's trotters, and his mother's fatty but not greasy braised pork, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

At least for the next decade or so, he will be insulated from these delicacies.

At the end of the day's training, he approached the strength and conditioning coach, Nicolai, and said, "Sir, Mr. Cody asked me to come to you. ”

Nicolai had a short head of spirit, and although he was not yet 40 years old, he had large patches of gray hair. His figure doesn't make a visual impact like a bodybuilding champion, but he's very well-proportioned and still athletic when he walks. Without looking at his hair, you'll get the illusion that he's only in his twenties.

"I know what you're here for. So let's take a look at how you can improve your physical ability and fitness in the short term. You come with me. ”

Nicholas took Shi Hao around the gym, told him the correct way to use each machine, how long each machine needed to be exercised, and demonstrated it himself.

"You see, just like that, practice for an hour and a half every day, and at the same time the nutrition can be better, I think your physical condition will improve quickly. How tall and how much do you weigh right now? ”

"He is 182 centimeters tall and weighs 70 kilograms."

Nicholas took out a small notebook, looked down, and showed a surprised expression, "It's 2 centimeters taller and 2 kilograms heavier than the data I recorded." ”

After a pause, he said: "At this training intensity, I hope you can gain another 2-3 kilograms in two months." Of course, you know, it's not about long fat. ”

"Yes, sir." Shi Hao was eager to try, and the smile on his face was a little ...... Wretched. He thought to himself that it was best to be effective as soon as possible, and when Liu Xiyu came to Italy on the 22nd, he could surprise her, hehe.

"Then you can start practicing." After saying that, Nicolai left Shi Hao and left by himself.

Although Shi Hao is the focus of the U20 echelon to inspect and train, it is not important enough for him to personally guide the whole process.

In the next match against Genoau20, Shi Hao started again and partnered with Diam. This time he didn't play until 70 minutes before being substituted, and to be honest he felt that he still had the energy to play, and it would be no problem to fight for another ten minutes.

He didn't score himself in this game, but with his excellent technique and movement, he created chances for his team-mates and provided an assist.

On the off court, Cody hugged him and praised him for his performance, and didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with him.
