Chen Yu's nomination for the World Footballer of the Year is also the pride of the Fiorentina club, and the Fiorentina media and TV stations have reported the good news, and the official website of the Fiorentina club has also issued an announcement to congratulate him.

The news caused a huge sensation in the local Chinese circle, and the Chinese leader Mr. Chen Wantong also set up a banquet in one of the largest Chinese restaurants in Florence and invited celebrities to congratulate Chen Yu, and the Chinese ambassador to Florence also personally attended, giving Chen Yu enough face.

After the banquet, Zhao Muyu drove home with Zhang Shubin, Chen Yu and Gao Fei, who were drunk, and as soon as he came to the door, Chen Yu found that the car of the team's head coach Prandley was parked at the door.

"Coach, why are you here?"

Chen Yu got out of the car and came to Prandley, who was getting out of the car.

"I'm being asked to talk to you about something."

Prandelli came over and shook hands with Chen Yu and said in a low voice.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned, not knowing who was entrusted by Lu Dao Prandley to say to himself, so he smiled and said, "Coach, then let's talk inside." ”

"It's good."

Prandley said hello to Zhang Shubin and Gao Fei, drove the car into the parking lot in the courtyard, parked it, and then followed Chen Yu and the others to the living room.

After pouring tea and greeting everyone, Zhang Shubin found an excuse to drink high, and went upstairs to his bedroom with Gao Fei and Zhao Muyu to rest, leaving only Chen Yu and Prandley in the living room.

"Coach, is there anything that would be worth your visit?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

Prandley laughed, "Chen, have you watched the World Cup Qualifiers that just ended?" ”

Chen Yu was a little confused, and said, "I watched a few shows, all from the TV broadcast. ”

Prandelli said: "Have you watched the two matches in Italy? ”

Chen Yu said: "This must be watched, anyway, I am also playing in Serie A, and the Italian national team still needs to support it." ”

Prandelli said: "Two games, one against Slovenia and one against Moldova, what do you think? ”

Chen Yu was even more confused, and could only tell the truth, "I qualified for the World Cup with Slovenia and played better, but the game with Moldova was really nothing to watch." ”

Prandelli said: "In two games, Italy scored three goals, and the striker scored two goals, which is not bad from the data, but the data is the easiest to deceive, and Slovenia in the key game, the striker wasted many opportunities, fortunately, Zacardo broke the door guarded by Slovenian goalkeeper Mavridge, against Moldova, it was the veteran Vieri and the newcomer Gilardino who scored, these two people, Vieri has passed his prime, one is still a newcomer, and next year's German World Cup may not be counted on, And Piero can't play the main force in Juventus, Totti is not a real striker, Cassano is unreliable, Tony has not been tested, it can be said that Italy now lacks a stable world-class striker, and for Italy, a good striker is the key to whether or not you can win the championship, you have been in Italy for so many years, you must know this very well. ”

When Prandley said this, Chen Yu vaguely knew what he wanted to say, but Chen Yu didn't answer the question.

Prandelli saw that Chen Yu didn't speak, and said bluntly: "In the past two years, you have played well in Serie A, with an average of one goal per game, and you have become one of the world's leading strikers, especially important, you have not played an international match for your motherland now, that is to say, you can still represent other countries in international competitions, so Mr. Carraro, the president of the Football Association, hopes that you can play for Italy, and Mr. Carraro is also angry with Coach Lippi, as long as you are willing to play for the Italian national team, you will be given a main position, With your familiarity and understanding of Italian football, I believe that your performance in the Italian team will not be bad, which is why Coach Lippi is willing to allow you a main position. ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Coach, you also know that I am still Chinese, how can I play for the Italian team?" ”

Prandelli smiled: "It seems that you have been living in Italy for five years, according to Italian law, you can now apply for Italian citizenship, and as long as you are willing to apply, then you will definitely pass, and it will be passed as quickly as possible." ”

"Ah" Chen Yu suddenly didn't notice that he had lived in Italy for five years, and if he lived in Italy for five years without any criminal record, he could apply for the permanent residence card that many Chinese in Italy dream of.

"I haven't really thought about applying for Italian citizenship, coach, I need to think about it."

Prandelli said: "Chen, I think you should think about it, it is very troublesome to issue a residence card every two years, and you have to check all kinds of procedures when you go abroad to play, the most important thing is that if you retain your Chinese nationality, it will be difficult to make a difference in the World Lu World Cup, and for a professional player, his historical status in the world of football is composed of two aspects, one is the player's club results, the other is the World Lu World Cup results, if you can make a difference in the World World Cup last season, I think last year you will be nominated for the World Footballer of the Year and even the Asian Footballer of the Year. ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly, "Chairman Xie Lu, Coach Lippi values me, but I have to think about this matter seriously, maybe for other people, changing nationality is a trivial matter, but for me, this is a big thing, it will have a great impact on my future life, I need to discuss it with my family." ”

Prandelli patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, "Chen, you have to think about it, joining the Italian national team is definitely an opportunity for you, you look like Giggs, Shevchenko, Weah a few years ago, these people have superb skills, but because the football level of their country is too weak, their status in world football cannot be compared with Zidan, Ronaldo and others, football is a team sport, you should be very clear." ”

Chen Yu said: "Coach, I understand the importance of the World Cup, but many things are not something I can decide. ”

Prandelli smiled: "Now, it's up to you to decide, Italy definitely have the ability to win the World Cup, and you must not miss this opportunity." ”

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, coach, I will definitely consider it carefully." ”

Prandelli knew that this is not an urgent matter, the Chinese have always been conservative, and changing nationality is indeed not a trivial matter, after all, football eats youth rice, once retired, whether to live in Italy or return to China, this matter needs to be seriously considered, so he said: "Chen, you think about it, I will go back, wait for you to think about it, and then give me a message, in addition, please do not reveal this matter, you understand, this is likely to bring unnecessary trouble to you and the Football Association, which is why Cara Roto I came to talk to you." ”

Chen Yu said: "I understand, coach, you must be tight-lipped. ”

After Chen Yu sent Prandley away, Gao Fei took the lead and ran down, "Chen Yu, what are Prandley looking for you for?" ”

Chen Yu looked around mysteriously, "You have to keep it a secret." ”

Gao Fei patted his chest, "What kind of person am I Gao Fei, I must have heard it in my ears, rotten to my stomach." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "Well, I'm the same." ”

Gao Fei grabbed Chen Yu's arm and said angrily: "You trick me, tell me quickly, otherwise I will kill you."

At this time, Zhang Shubin and Zhao Muyu also came down, and Zhang Shubin said: "What are you two in?" ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "This guy wants to kill for money." ”

Gao Fei said: "He tricked me." ”

Zhang Shubin said: "What's the trouble, it's not a small person, Xiao Yu, your coach came to find you or something." ”

Chen Yu said: "The Italian Football Association wants me to join the Italian national team, and Carraro President Coach Toprandelli came to tell me. ”

"What? Got you to join the Italian national team? ”

"The Italian national team?"

"You are still Chinese, join the Italian national team with a fart?"

Zhang Shubin and Zhao Muyu both cried out in surprise, and Gao Fei was also surprised to let go of Chen Yu's arm and stared at Chen Yu's eyes to see if he was lying.

Chen Yu shrugged helplessly and said, "Yes, I don't believe it either, but as soon as the coach reminded me, I understood, it turns out that I have been working in Italy for five years and can apply for Italian citizenship." “

When Zhang Shubin, Gao Fei and Chen Yu were dating, Chen Yu had been living in Italy for more than a year, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

"Are you ready to apply? It's also a lot easier to apply. Zhang Shubin groaned.

Gao Fei said: "What to apply for, Chen Yu is old, he can still play for a few years, can he stay in Italy for the rest of his life?" Well, there's nothing to stay, Chen Yu should have earned enough money in the past few years that he can't spend in two lifetimes.

Zhao Muyu didn't speak, but a pair of wonderful eyes were looking at Chen Yu, obviously paying attention to Chen Yu's answer

Chen Yu said: "I don't know that I can already apply for Italian nationality, I am not prepared for this, I need to think about it, in fact, for myself, it doesn't matter where I live, where the loess does not support people, but there are still my grandparents in China, grandparents pulled me up, I can't throw them in the country and don't ask, I have to ask them if they can live with me abroad, if they can, I will consider immigration, if not, I don't even have to think about it." ”

Zhang Shubin heard Chen Yu talk about his family affairs, and knew the status of his grandparents in his mind, and said: "Well, immigration is not a simple change of nationality, it involves a lot of things, you better think about it slowly, immigration has the benefits of immigration, and staying in the country has the advantages of staying in the country." ”

Gao Fei patted Chen Yu on the shoulder and said: "Chen Yu, don't say that I don't have the ability to live abroad, even if I can live abroad, I won't emigrate, to be honest, I don't have much affection for Italians, I feel that I still live a comfortable life in my hometown, even if it is dirty and messy, even if it is corrupt as an official." ”

Chen Yu looked at Zhao Muyu and said, "What do you think?" “

Zhao Muyu said: "I don't have much impression of China anymore, and this can't be compared. “

Chen Yu sighed: "I don't think much about it now, let's talk to my grandparents when I return to China during the winter break."

Zhang Shubin said: "It's okay, this matter is not in a hurry, don't affect your game, say a thousand things and ten thousand, the performance on the field is king, whether you want to play for Italy or not, it is an honor for people to fancy us." ”

Gao Fei joked: "That's right, if you fancy me, I'll have no problem going to see the water dispenser, in case I win the championship, we will also be the champion of the world." ”

Chen Yu snorted him, "Look at your embarrassing appearance, even go to see the water dispenser." If you can't play, even if you win the World Cup, what's the point? ”

Zhang Shubin said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, don't underestimate the water dispenser, as long as you have the title of the World Cup Champion, there will be advertisers looking for you, as for whether you play or not, it doesn't matter, I think what you have to consider is not nationality, the main consideration should be the domestic market, if you change your nationality, many fans in China will definitely have opinions, and may even block you, in this case, such a large domestic market may be lost, which is a lot of income." ”

Gao Fei said curiously when he heard this: "Uncle Zhang, is Chen Yu's advertising revenue more domestic or foreign?" ”

Zhang Shubin said: "The domestic number is more, but the price given by foreign countries is higher, in comparison, foreign accounts for sixty percent, domestic accounts for forty percent, but the proportion of domestic income is gradually increasing." ”

Gao Fei said: "I believe that if Chen Yu can get the World Footballer of the Year, I believe that his income in China will be far higher than that abroad." ”

Chen Yu said with a smile: "Don't talk about money, it's good to talk about money, talking about money hurts feelings, you look at Gao Fei, your eyes are almost as red as rabbits." ”

Gao Fei said: "Of course, you earn the money I earn for ten years a year, and it's strange that I'm not blushing." ”

Zhang Shubin smiled and said: "Xiao Fei, you don't have to envy Xiao Yu, a genius like Xiao Yu, China will produce one now, even in Brazil, Argentina, and Europe, there are only a few geniuses like Xiao Yu, and it will take at least ten years to have one." ”

Gao Fei smiled: "I'm not really red-eyed, I believe in the view that money is something outside the body, as long as I can eat and play, where can I think so much." ”

Zhao Muyu said disdainfully: "It's a good word, I don't believe it, don't you want to marry Sister Jia Ya, don't you want to buy a car and a house?" Doesn't it take money to do this? ”

Goofy scratched his head, "Let's just talk about it, you're still serious." ”

Zhao Muyu took a sip of Gao Fei and said, "Words don't count, scoundrel." ”

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "Okay, it's not too early, Xiao Yu and Xiao Fei should take a rest, they will have to train tomorrow, and the game will start soon." ”

Chen Yu snorted and said, "Sleep and sleep, anyway, the game will take a few days, study hard." ”

"Well, I'm also sleepy, and I won't sleep anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to open my eyes."

Goofy yawned, his mouth full of alcohol, and turned back to his old bedroom to sleep.

After a night, Gao Fei drove back to Empoli early in the morning, and Chen Yu also came to the training base early to participate in the team's training for Lazio

Two years ago, Lazio was certainly the enemy of Florence, but now Lazio's phoenix that has long since shed its hair is not as good as a chicken.

Last season, Lazio could only rely on players such as veterans Di Canio, who returned to Serie A, and rookie Rocchi, and although there was no risk of relegation, they have also dropped out of the ranks of the strong teams, and finally finished 10th with 44 points. Although the club has gotten rid of the economic crisis this season, but the days can only be regarded as one step at a time, in line with the idea of spending a little money to do big things, Lazio has four veterans over 30 years old Filippini brothers, Portugal old international Couto, local international Giannikeda transferred out, and at the same time collected a lot of bargains, not spending a penny to attract Beleri, Firmani, Piccollo. Spent 1 million to get the powerful players P-year-old Beleri and Kribari, and spent 00,000 euros to enter the midfielder Behrami from the second division team Verona, Behrami has a good physique, good skills, and can adapt to multiple positions in the midfield, whether it is on the side or in the middle, he has good offensive and defensive ability, and is good at crossing, but he is Lazio's biggest reinforcement this season, which is enough to show that Lazio has been completely silked.

Lazio's new head coach Rossi, who studied under Zeman and loves attacking football, has shown a lot of aggression in the first six rounds, but has been inconsistent due to the age of goalkeeper Peruzzi at the back. With the departure of Couto, the new combination of Crrybaly and Piccolo is not yet up to the task, and the two wing-backs on the left and right, Zauri and Oddo, are only barely qualified.

The departure of the Filippini brothers and Gianni Keda and the aging of Liverani have left a big void in Lazio's midfield, but the introduction of midfielder Behrami and Baronho, who returned on loan from Palermo, have made up for the void.

Lazio have U-named strikers in the front line, but it is Inzaghi Jr. and Pandev who can make a difference, and Roki, Tare, and Muzi are also playing as substitutes.

In the first six rounds of the game, Lazio won three and drew one, ranking 10th with 10 points, strikers Pandev and Rocchi almost all the club's goals, and now they have scored three goals each, although they can't deter Chen Yu's top scorer status, but it has already competed with Tony and Di Natale.

Lazio have had an excellent home record this season, winning all of their home games. The team has a stable lineup, and the forward combination of Rocchi and Pandev also maintains a high scoring rate. Fiorentina are the attacking team, but they also concede more goals. At Lazio's home stadium, the two teams have met for the next time, with the home team having the upper hand with 4 wins, 1 draws and 1 loss.

However, the record is history, in fact, since last season, Fiorentina has formed a great suppression of Lazio, not to mention that the current strength of Lazio has declined again, and Fiorentina's strength has steadily improved, this game is a game for Fiorentina that must take three points, if Fiorentina still wants to win the league title, they can't win such a game.
