"This season, I don't think the focus of our game is on the Coppa Italia or the UEFA Cup...... Mr. Sans, I have nothing to say, these two championships, the prize money is too small, the sum is less than 10 million bonuses, it is really a little little, such a small amount of money, it is difficult for the team to be interested, I don't think it is necessary. ”

"It's a champion." "My personal opinion is that it's better to put a little bit of effort into these two cups. In terms of money, you don't have to worry about it, although I am not rich, but I am not poor, as long as you don't want to buy the top players in the world, I will never let you lack money to spend. However, my request is honor, and I personally hope that the team can have more honors, and when I talk to my friends, I am happier, can you meet my request? ”

Li Bin was silent - in the second half of the season, there will be a lot of cup games, and if you really play every game, it will be more than a dozen games out of thin air. Playing four games a month and eight games a month, the difference in rhythm can make even the best team unable to hold on.

"You can think about these questions yourself, I don't force you. But you should also understand that next season we are going to play in the Champions League, and when we play in the Champions League, many teams die of inexperience. The so-called experience, to put it bluntly, is how to keep the team able to fight on two fronts without encountering various crises. This season, we can lose, next season we can't lose, shouldn't we take advantage of the time we can lose and accumulate some experience? This question is your problem. Think about it and give me an answer, how? ”

Sans's words, this time really moved Li Bin, this boss's insight is indeed very outstanding.

"Okay, I won't say more, this is the time for the party to celebrate, you should celebrate, go and celebrate, have fun, my question, you can answer it slowly. I have a hunch that our cooperation will be very long. ”——

The party was still going on, and in the corner of the crowd, Wan Qian was holding a wine glass in his hand, listening to Esposito's slightly drunk words beside him, with a somewhat playful smile on his face, looking at the crowd that had drunk too much, and chatting with him without saying a word.

Raising the wine glass in his hand and drinking it all, Esposito's face is now full of smiles, "Every year when I am happiest, it is Christmas." ”

"Oh, for what?"

"Every year at this time, a few of us old buddies go together to celebrate. You should know that in the past, a few of us were coaches, and sometimes, Lee would run around, and Martins did a lot of the same thing, they were in charge of transfers, and there were youth schools all over the world, and they rarely came back, and it was only at this time that we were able to get together. Normally, at Christmas, Nadia and Martins' former wife, Betsy, will cook us a table of dishes, and then we will find a few bottles of good wine and have a good taste of the food from all over the world. Every Christmas, we are the most relaxed time, and it really makes me happy. Esposito and Wan Qi talked, "Last year there were a lot of things, Martins just got divorced, there was nothing to celebrate, and this year, we have to have fun anyway." ”

At this point, something suddenly occurred to him, "I said, do you know how to cook?" How about a cook and come and spend Christmas with us? ”

"Lorenzo, what a strange question you have." After Wan Qi listened to his words, he couldn't help but open his mouth, "We're friends, right?" Listening to you, it's like I'm looking for a cook, why can't I spend Christmas with you because I can't cook? ”

"No, of course you can, but ......," Esposito scratched his head, "yes, usually, when we're together, it's all a few men talking nonsense together, football, women, politics, it's all nonsense, women rarely get involved in our topics." I don't think you will be interested in our topic. ”

Wan Qi smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows, maybe I'm interested in your topic?" ”

"Who is running on behalf of the left this year? Who are his main supporters? Esposito immediately asked, Wan Qian thought hard, but still shook his head, "These words are only related to you Italians, Lao Li definitely doesn't care about these." ”

"Actually, he knows the Tao better than I do, and he doesn't know what the Tao is, and he's very keen on these things this year." Esposito replied, "But it's okay, it's okay if you go, usually, a few of us chat together, and Lee doesn't go to cook." This time, we can force him to go to the kitchen no matter what......"

"He can cook?" Wan Qi was stunned.

"He does know how to cook, and he does it well, he is a glutton, and he always thinks that Italian food is not his appetite, so he cooks and eats it himself." Borg, who was on the side, walked over and spoke.

"That's right, that's why I asked you if you can cook, I think Chinese should be able to cook, so it's not racial discrimination, right?"

Wan Qi smiled, this guy......

"Don't worry too much," Borg began, "he's drunk too much." And you know, Lorenzo is a player, when he used to play football, he ate nutritious food, but after he retired, he was very obsessed with food, and in this regard, he was more stubborn than anyone else. ”

"I don't care, it's not like I can't hear if there's malice. But he used to eat those nutritious meals you made? It's no wonder......"

"The nutritious meal of any team in the whole world is the same taste, and it is all the same taste as pig food." Borg shrugged and said, "There are too many ingredients that are not tasty, how can we make pig food taste good." ”

"I think it should be something that can be improved, in fact, the combination of nutrition and diet has always been a direction that I plan to study, combined with some Chinese cooking methods to make improvements." Wan Qian immediately replied, "You know, the principle of making Chinese food is different from other foreign dishes, Europeans eat umami, to be honest, what you eat, you can't always eat." Japanese cooking is a little bit worse than raw materials, and the only one that can make a good taste without caring about the raw materials is China, so I also thought about learning from domestic cooking methods to be able to cook better things - of course, it doesn't have to be too good, and it doesn't taste like pig food. ”

"Have you told Li about your research direction?"

'No, he's a very dull guy when it comes to football, and I find it hard for him to accept something new.

"It's really hard to convince him ......"

"Wait, you mean, you know how to cook? And some more? Espositto interrupted her, "You should have told me you knew how to cook, and if I had known about this, I would have asked Lee to ask you out." ”

"Is it for him to ask me out, not for you to ask me out? What sounds awkward to you. ”

"If I ask a woman to go out, it won't be a few times, and it will definitely be blown, and if it's Li, then he can deceive a woman for a while, and I can rub two more meals."

"What a witty young man......" Wan Qi was speechless for a while, but only shot back with a smile on his face, "Let's find a cook myself." ”

"But at least let's see how you're cooking." Borg opened his mouth and smiled, "At least, this matter is also related to your research direction." ”

"Then watch, absolutely, I won't let you down." ——

"Li, her cooking is much better than yours." Putting down his rice bowl, Esposito spoke, "The food you cook is not so delicious at all. ”

"The next time I cook, you can not come to eat, I didn't invite you."

Li Bin didn't expect that Wan Qi's cooking would be so good.

At the coaching staff party, they not only invited Wan Qi, but even called Li Siman, Martins and others, and everyone returned to their previous habits and spent Christmas together - in fact, Li Bin never liked Christmas, but when there was an opportunity to get together, he did not object - of course, it would have been better if he had thought in advance that Esposito was so humiliating.

Esposito was obviously not going to be knocked down by such words, instead, he turned his head to the side of the Borg, "Let's let her study the nutritious meal, give her the food at the base, and I can rest assured." ”

"You foodie." Li Bin glanced at him, "However, I didn't see that your cooking skills are really good." ”

"What really surprised me is how complete the ingredients you have here, I've been here for a year, I haven't seen a lot of things, where did you buy them?"

Li Bin smiled and diverted the topic, "Sometimes I really think you're a monster, to be honest, your acupuncturist qualification has made me doubt it to a large extent, and now you still know how to cook......"

"The qualification of acupuncturist is internationally recognized, which is regarded as a nurse qualification, and I did not make it up myself. And the problem of food supplements, all medicine has it, what kind of nonsense is this? You're a foreigner, aren't you? Don't you believe in Chinese stuff at all? ”

"I am not admiring foreign countries, but on the issue of football, foreigners are indeed more advanced than the Chinese's skills, it is not advisable to disagree with other people's advanced things, always think that their mystical things are good, this is not good, I have always had an attitude towards what secret recipes, secret skills are all the same attitude - any learning, all by communication and progress, behind closed doors can not make good things." Li Bin shook his head, "If you want to do research, let's study it first, anyway, we have plenty of funds now...... But don't put it into use yet. ”

"You still can't believe me." Wan Qian glanced at Li Bin provocatively.

Li Bin shook his head, "Our task is very tight now, in the second half of the season, I decided to let the team fight on the third line, and in the case of the third line of fighting, I am afraid that there will be injury problems." ”

His words are more noticeable than what he eats.

"What are you fighting for? Didn't you say you don't want a cup anymore? Esposito asked rhetorically.

"Work on the team's ability to play on multiple fronts – don't forget, if you're going to play in the Champions League next season, it's better to be embarrassed this season than to be caught off guard next season."

"That's a much more intense task...... Esposito nodded as well, "what made you change your mind?" I'm curious. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that someone told me that playing in the third line is better for the team, and I think it's a lot of that, so I listened to it. In fact, these days, I have found that there are really many smart people around me who can give me good advice, and it is really a good thing to listen to other people's advice. ”

When Li Bin spoke, he looked at Wan Qian. Wan Qian also raised her glass and clicked it very tacitly - of course she knew that she was thanking her for this.
