Chapter 21: The Conversation

"Then you won't study anymore?" Susan continued.

Li Zihan pouted: "It's all kicked off, who wants to go back and read what is it for?" It's not that I graduated and got a good job with a high salary. But I already have such a job now, why should I go to the end. ”

Susan nodded, but said, "It's better to learn more, it's good for yourself." ”

Li Zihan smiled: "I'm not learning from you, my God, five languages!" ”

In this way, Li Zihan spent the first "date" in his life in the good haode atmosphere, well, he thinks this should be considered a date, right?

After lunch, Li Zihan originally planned to send Susan to school, but Susan sent him away with a word: "I don't want the police uncle to call me and ask me to go to the police station to pick up the lost child." ”

After Li Zihan saw Susan get on the bus, he returned to the dormitory the same way. No, he doesn't know much about other paths.

The next day, Conte's training formation was still 352, only now he is putting more emphasis on the ability to control the ball in midfield. Through the last round of the league, he found a hole in his team, that is, the midfield was too weak.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem because they have very good midfielders Vidal, Marchisio and AC Milan veteran Andrea Pirlo.

On the whole, there is no major change, Li Zihan will also train his physical fitness after training every day, but now no one has assigned him a task, but he consciously goes to practice.

Life is so fulfilling, he didn't go to a nightclub or bar to relax after training like other players, because there is still a big beautiful woman waiting for him at home. Li Zihan's life every day is the dormitory and the training ground, in fact, Li Zihan himself also goes out to play, after all, he is eighteen years old, which belongs to the age of volatile youthful vitality.

But considering his half-baked Italian, he chose to give up, Turin is not a cosmopolitan city. The car industry is well developed, and the residents are usually locals, who speak only native Italian and occasionally a little English.

So Li Zihan is now learning Italian with all his heart, working hard for that "great and arduous" task. But if you let Susan know what he thinks, it is estimated that people will just pick and choose.

Once, Li Zihan privately grabbed Conte and asked him Weishenme to arrange for him to learn so many languages. Conte told him with a serious face: "Lee, there is not only one country in a team, you need to exchange ideas with your team-mates in different languages, and implement the manager's tactical arrangements, so that you can work better with the team, and you will not only play in Italy for the rest of your life." ”

In fact, he understood what Conte meant, and Conte was paving the way for his future career path. Li Zihan was greatly moved, he didn't expect Conte to think so far for him.

After another ten days, Li Zihan felt that his ability was getting better and better, which was a feeling, he could keenly observe the bouncing trend of the ball, in professional football terms: he had a good sense of smell for the ball.

And the coordination of the body、Jishu has also improved rapidly,Although there is that very good system,But Li Zihan still hasn't gone through professional football training after all,So he still looks very "immature" compared to other players.

And Conte is also lamenting that as long as Li Zihan plays in the top league for three to five years, he will definitely become a generation of football superstars. He just lacks professional training and experience.

All in all, in the twenty or so days since he arrived at Juventus in late August, Li Zihan's training has improved significantly, and it also reflects his huge potential, the only problem is that he still lacks stamina and does not have the stamina to play the full 90 minutes in a professional game. If it is a fast-paced physical confrontation similar to the Premier League, Li Zihan estimates that he will not even be able to hold on to the forty-five minutes of the half.

But it's not a big problem, he's only eighteen years old now. And the pace of Italian football is not fast, but the defense is relatively tight, and if the cavalry comes on as a substitute, it will also have a surprise effect.

His body looks thin, but he is surprisingly strong. After two rounds of league games and peacetime confrontations, Conte found that the skinny body resembled a leopard. The explosion is high and the speed is fast, and the copper-headed iron arm is not afraid of collision, and there is no need to worry about him becoming a "glass man".

It's just that if strong doesn't mean physical strength, if you let the leopard race against a horse, the end point is 50 meters, 100 meters, the leopard will win, but if the end point is 1 kilometer, the leopard will sigh with the horse's buttocks.

And a player in a ball game is certainly more than a kilometer away, except for the goalkeeper, of course.

Despite this, Li Zihan's potential is still quite huge, and now Conte is thinking about whether to sign a long-term professional contract first to look at this little guy first, so as not to be favored by other teams and make wedding dresses for others. With Li Zihan's two games, the number of scouts outside the training base is increasing.

On the third floor of the office building east of the Vinovo training base, Conte knocked on the door of Marotta's office.

Giuseppe? Marotta is Juventus' general manager and is responsible for the team's commercial aspects such as player signings, contract renewals, salaries and sponsorship with partners. As a manager, Conte has no authority to sign professional players, he only has the right to advise, he tells the club the names of the players he needs, and the top management decides whether to bring in this player or another player.

At the beginning, Li Zihan signed a temporary contract that Conte was looking for Marotta, because it was a temporary contract, Marotta was also willing to give face to the coach who had been working together for a long time, and handed the contract directly to Conte, without discussion at the top, and not every player can attract the attention of the top. Like Li Zihan's temporary contract and youth training, reserve team and other contracts, Marotta has direct decision-making.

However, in addition to the core and main players, some substitutes or rotations can be negotiated by the head coach, the club's general manager and two other heads of athletic affairs for the club.

The head coach seems to have a lot of power, but in fact, he can only decide on a team's lineup, training and tactical arrangements. As for everything else, it's basically up to the club's top brass to decide.

Of course, there are some clubs and managers who are privileged, such as Sir Alex Ferguson.

After a "please come in" from inside, Conte pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hell, if I knew it was you Antonio, I wouldn't have let you in." Juventus FC General Manager Giuseppe? Marotta had a look of chagrin.

"Come on, Marotta, I've been to you no more than three times a season." Conte, who closed the door with his backhand, unceremoniously came to Marotta's desk and sat down face to face with him.

"But three times I came to ask for money!!" Marotta jokingly pretended to be very "angry".

Conte gave him a blank look: "If our chairman gives me the right to transfer and sign a contract like a Premier League club, I promise that I will never come to you for the rest of my life." ”

Marotta slapped the table and shouted, "Damn Antonio, are you going to steal my job?" Then he changed his voice, "Say, which player do you fancy this time?" You know, the season has just begun, and we've just finished bringing in reinforcements, so the club won't agree to your request, at least not in the near future. ”

"It's a small thing this time, you can just move your mouth. Know Lee? Conte asked casually.

"Lee??" Marotta asked suspiciously, "Where are these players?" England? Or is it American? Well, it's an unfamiliar name, and it shouldn't be worth much. ”

As the general manager of the club with the transfer power in his hands, the first thing he thinks about is the nationality and value of the player.

Conte shook his head: "It's from our team, and we signed a temporary contract for our Under-19 academy. ”

Marotta suddenly realized: "Oh, you're talking about the eighteen-year-old yellow-skinned kid you brought into the club some time ago? ”

Conte, the yellow-skinned boy that Marotta called a little unhappy, frowned and said: "That Chinese boy, I saw that he has a lot of potential before. Recently I put him off the bench in the first team and he did very well. It's not even worse than the first-team main team, so I want you to give him a formal professional contract, preferably for a longer period, and I dare to start with the striker. ”

Marotta said disdainfully: "I said Antonio, you should know that there are a lot of 'shooting stars' in the Europa League. Some people shine in one game, some people do well in one season, some people shine in two seasons. But what about three years later, five years later? Where are they? ”

Conte was anxious: "You have to trust my vision as a professional coach, I'm sure Lee is definitely not a 'shooting star'. ”

Marotta waved his hand: "You've only been a manager for a few years?" I admit you were good as a player and you have been brilliant as a manager for a few years. As for looking at the potential of the players, that's the job of the scouts. ”

Conte wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by Marotta: "Okay, okay, I already know the purpose of your coming here today." Isn't it just to give him a professional contract, you go back and tell him, tell him to find a time for his agent to come to me, and I will give him a professional contract. ”

"Well, the salary of the first-team substitute squad is about the same." Marotta added a sentence and made a gesture to see off the guest.

In almost all clubs except the Premier League, the relationship between the manager and the general manager is not very good, because the general manager's words are much more effective than their manager when it comes to transfers, and often many club managers want to sign this player, and then report on the training ground is often another player.

This is most likely the ghost of the general manager in the middle.
