Chapter 173

At the end of July, Fiorentina's training had already begun, with players from Italy and European countries participating in the training, such as new signings and players from the Americas, Africa, Asia and other places.

August 4 was the first training session for Fiorentina's main players, and the number of fans at the training base immediately increased from more than 200 to almost 1,000 after the news broke.

The first player to come to the stadium was still Chen Yu, when he arrived on a bicycle, there were not even a few fans, and it was not until half an hour before the start of training that the new and old players of Fiorentina came to the stadium one after another.

In the parking lot, there are a lot of BMW Mercedes-Benz Alfa Romeo Ferraris, and after being promoted to Serie A, Fiorentina's veteran players have received a lot of bonuses, and the players who can stay in the team have also received a salary increase, and most of this money has been used by the players to buy luxury goods and change cars.

But the most impressive is of course the new signings, like Hidetoshi Nakata, who has an annual salary of 00,000 euros and huge advertising income, he not only drives a Ferrari, but also brings two bodyguards.

Nigerian midfielder Obodo, who likes to buy cars, drives a Humvee, and the fierce Obodo with the Hummer makes him look like a special soldier, which attracts many extreme fans to cheer.

Maresca is very strong and was brought in as a main midfielder like Hidetoshi Nakata, but he only drove an Audi to participate in training

Although Chen Yu is the core of Florence, he is not a sociable person, when the new signings and the old man arrived, he still practiced on the field by himself, and did not greet his teammates, although the annual salary of the new recruits is much higher than Chen Yu, and the original fame is greater than Chen Yu, but they are still full of curiosity and awe about the nominal No. 2 person in the Fiorentina team, the actual No. 1 person, after changing the jersey, they all honestly watched Chen Yu play on the sidelines.

The old captain Di Livio and Rigano came together, but the frustration of asking for a high salary still made the old captain a little emotional, and Rigano was very excited because he played Serie A for the first time in his career.

The arrival of Di Livio and Rigano made the team a little lively, and the old and new players came to say hello, only Hidetoshi Nakata and the three former Roma players Sejas, Lupatelli and Gigu chatted together, and did not come to say hello to Di Livio and Ricano.

In fact, after being promoted to Serie A, the source of players within Fiorentina is much wider than in Serie B, Serie A is not limited to Italy, and the players are often automatically grouped together according to the language family and the original relationship.

Local players such as Di Livio, Ricano, and Lucarelli are of course the largest group, South American players such as Cejas and Gigu are one faction, and Hidetoshi Nakata has a more eccentric and arrogant personality, but he is actually a loner, and he can't get along with his Japanese native Hiroshi Naba and Shunsuke Nakamura, who play in Serie A.

Seeing Chen Yu's own training performance, Maresca said with some disdain: "Angelo, he doesn't look too good at his skills." ”

Rigano smiled and said, "It looks like this, but it's not like that when you get on the field." ”

Di Livio laughed and said, "It's a pity that you don't have a chance to be an opponent with him, otherwise you won't have time to cry, this guy will definitely surprise you."

Maresca shook her head and said, "Is it that exaggerated? I'm sure some people are game-type players, but there can't be so much difference between training and games, this guy is at best Serie B level, can he play the main striker in Serie A? ”

Di Livio patted Maresca on the shoulder and said: "Well, that's what everyone thought before the start of Serie B, but as you can see, he scored 46 goals and did it after a month of missing games. ”

"That's not counting the four goals in the play-offs, if you count them, he scored a total of 50 goals. ”

Maresca saw that Di Livio and Rigano were both happy and convinced, and several veteran players around him also had "you will understand soon" expressions, Maresca felt that the ordinary looking Chinese player in front of him was shrouded in a mysterious aura.

On the other side, Hidetoshi Nakata and three of his old team-mates at Roma are also talking about it.

Hidetoshi Nakata, the second Japanese player to travel to Italy and the most successful to date, was also surprised by the level of Chen Yu's performance, and he couldn't believe that this was the most popular player in Serie B right now, let alone that he had scored 50 goals in a season.

Hidetoshi Nakata, who was once a supertalent in Asia, led Japan to the World Cup in France as a midfield core at the age of l. In the summer after the World Cup, Hidetoshi Nakata moved to Perugia in Serie A, and scored 10 goals in 33 games in the following season, completely raising the performance of pioneer Chira Miura by N notches. In the winter transfer period of 2000, the Serie A giants Roma couldn't wait to recruit Hidetoshi Nakata, and on the way to win the championship in the UU-0l season, Nakata, as the main substitute, repeatedly made great contributions at critical moments, among which the ultra-long-range heavy artillery bombarded the Juventus gate guarded by Van der Sar is a masterpiece, and it was that goal that bottomed the overall situation of the Red Wolves winning the championship after that. Since his transfer to Parma in the summer of 0l, Hidetoshi Nakata has begun to decline, in Parma and Bologna, he has not been able to return to the peak form of the year, and now coming to the promoted side of Fiorentina is actually a risk and a gamble.

But even so, with his value in many fields such as television broadcasting, tourism development, and ticket revenue, Hidetoshi Nakata is still a star player in Serie A, and Fiorentina also offered him the highest salary of 0 euros.

Coming to Florence, Hidetoshi Nakata has always thought that he is the first person in Florence, and Florence may have given him the responsibility of the core of the midfield at that time, so Hidetoshi Nakata did not pay attention to Chen Yu and Di Livio, especially before joining, Florence because of salary issues, and the negotiations with Hidetoshi Nakata reached an impasse, and Hidetoshi Nakata's agent had to deign to communicate with Chen Yu, which made Hidetoshi Nakata also full of resentment towards Chen Yu.

Seeing the surprise and contempt on the faces of Hidetoshi Nakata, Lupatelli and Jigu, Sejas quickly explained: "Team Chen's training performance has always been like this. ”

Hidetoshi Nakata couldn't help but say: "I haven't played against a Serie B team, is it that the level of Serie B last season was very low." ”

Sejas was stunned for a moment before he understood what Nakata Hidetoshi meant, "No, last season's Serie B level was very high, Cagliari, Palermo, and Livorno were all strong, and the Chen team's ability to score 46 was completely beyond the level of Serie B." ”

Ji Gu shook his head and said, "This training level is indeed not high. It's unbelievable. “

Nakata Hideshou snorted and stopped talking, in his impression, there are two types of Chinese, one is like to brag to death, the other is to like to play a pig and eat Hucheng Mansion very deeply, maybe Chen Yu is the latter kind of person.

When it was time to train, the head coach Mondonico arrived with the members of the coaching staff, who had been the earliest to come in the past, and the coaching staff was not too late, but today they had just met with the chairman manager in the office building at Frankie Stadium to discuss an important decision on the transfer market, and they came a little late.

Before the start of training, Mondonico let the new and old players get to know each other, and the two captains, Di Livio and Chen Yu, introduced them in the middle and gave a brief introduction.

The other players are okay, some hug, some shake hands, at least the face is very warm, only Maresca and Nakata Hidetoshi are quite cold, that is, to the team's hero Chen Yu, Maresca and Nakata Hideshou only shook hands lightly, said a long admiration, and then stood aside, not even a word to the other players.

Chen Yu didn't care, these players introduced now, one by one, are not weak, like Portillo and Maresca, all came to Florence because they couldn't find a main position in the giants, Nakata Hidetoshi wanted to be the core, they definitely won't have any respect and good feelings for their old core who seems to be at a very average level, Chen Yu knows that for such players, they can't win their respect by language and personal charm, and they have to rely on strength to conquer.

This is the first time the players have practiced together, many players' bodies are still on vacation, Mondonico did not carry out high-intensity training, just took the players to warm up, do a pass to cooperate, yo-yo circle, and did not even play the warm-up game in the team, Fiorentina's new signings did not show much high level and excitement in training, which made the fans very disappointed, but fortunately, after the training, the head coach Mondonico broke out a good news, tomorrow, Fiorentina will have heavyweight players to join, And they will play a 45-minute warm-up match against C's Passaro.

Playing a warm-up match against C's team may not be as good as a group confrontation within the Fiorentina team, and the fans are not very interested, but which heavyweight player will join tomorrow has made Fiorentina fans and reporters curious and excited.

Previously, Mondonico and Lukesi have both said that the basic framework of Fiorentina has been determined, and there will be no large-scale reinforcements in the future, and the players they want such as Mikoli, Gerrard, Wiltord, Jorgensen, and Toney are just wishful thinking, and whether they can succeed depends on the other party's meaning.

After the training, the players drove away, but Chen Yu and Nakata Hidetoshi were stopped by reporters and fans, the first training session, China and Japan have reporters to interview, especially Japanese reporters and fans, far more than China many times, Chen Yu was very polite to reporters and fans, and tried his best to meet their requirements, but Nakata Hidetoshi was very arrogant, he not only refused to sign autographs for fans, but also rudely pushed away the reporter's camera, and plunged into the Ferrari under the protection of the bodyguard.

Chen Yu has heard that Nakata Hideshou likes to play big names, and today is the first time to see it, which makes Chen Yu very surprised that Nakata Hideshou has such a poor relationship with fans and reporters, why is there such a high popularity, and the commercial advertising income is so high, when he returned home and talked about it with Zhang Shubin, Chen Yu understood that this is also a way of hype, if the star follows the rules, the media has no topic, and it is difficult for the star to maintain a higher popularity, without high popularity, advertisers are not willing to invest in players, This is actually the same as the scandal of a singer and movie star, which made Chen Yu not only feel the cunning of the Japanese.
