Volume 1 Chapter 3 Give it a try

In the early hours of the morning, Chen Yu fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, he found that it was already eight o'clock, and it was time to go to work, Chen Yu didn't even have time to eat breakfast, put on his clothes, wash his face and brush his teeth, came to the computer, pulled off the USB drive and hung it around his neck, and strode out of the rental house and walked towards the bus stop.

Siena is a very small city in Italy, with a population of only 50,000, of which 20,000 are college students, and the traffic on the road is not congested at all, but Chen Yu got up too late, and when he came to the Zhonghua Hotel, he was already ten minutes late for work.

The environmental layout of Zhonghua Hotel has national characteristics. At the gate, a waitress wearing a Chinese cheongsam stands, the hall is decorated with antique square tables and lacquer stools, the walls are painted with dragon and phoenix patterns and Chinese calligraphy and paintings, classical music such as Jiangnan silk and bamboo is played, and the air is filled with the fragrance of jasmine tea, creating an auspicious and warm atmosphere, and customers feel as if they are in a tea house in Jiangnan, China.

The proprietress who was dressed up in a fancy way was wiping the tables, chairs, doors and windows with another small worker, this was originally Chen Yu's job, seeing that Chen Yu was late, she didn't feel guilty at all, the proprietress threw the wet rag in her hand at Chen Yu's feet, and yelled at Chen Yu like eating a cannonball: "You are playing games all night again!" Chen Yu, let me tell you, if there is another time, you don't have to come again. ”

The work and rest time of Italian workers is 9 to 5, but the Chinese workers in Italy do not enjoy this treatment, the Chinese workers in the Chinese hotel have to start work at 7:30 in the morning, and they do not get a rest at 10 o'clock in the evening, and the hotel only manages a Chinese meal, although the salary is 1,000 euros a month, but Italy is a rich country in Europe, the consumption level is very high, even if it is frugal, there is not much left throughout the year, even so, the boss still calls the Chinese workers to drink, without a little respect, and even inferior to the foreign boss, This is what people who go abroad to work often say, and they are more ruthless when they are themselves.

Among the four Chinese employees of the China Hotel, only Chen Yu is a college student, and Chen Yu's girlfriend is also an international student at the University of Sienna, and the owner and proprietress of the China Hotel also respect Chen Yu at first, but later Chen Yu broke up with his girlfriend, and he was addicted to games and football all day long, and he seemed to have no future at all, and his attitude towards Chen Yu became worse and worse.

"Sister Wang, don't talk so hurtful, okay, I'm not eating at your place, we are now working more than normal hours every day."

If it weren't for Sister Wang throwing the rag at Chen Yu's feet, Chen Yu would not have heard it, anyway, there are a lot of mean things that he usually hears, but Sister Wang's action made Chen Yu angry.

When Sister Wang heard this, she almost jumped up, "What are you talking about, you don't even have a work visa, if you weren't allowed to work here, you would have starved to death, and even gave me talking about working hours, ungrateful things." ”

Chen Yu frowned and said coldly: "Don't talk about yourself like a savior, there are more than 100,000 Chinese in Italy, and Chinese restaurants are not just Chinese, what you want, you know yourself." ”

Chen Yu's words poked the tiger's buttocks, and Sister Wang rushed to Chen Yu with a snort, pointed to Chen Yu's nose and said: "There are many good companies, you have the ability to go, why do you want to work in my small restaurant, you can leave now, leave immediately, our temple is too small for you to respect the Buddha." ”

At this time, the boss Wang Fatzi heard the noise and came out with a tooth jar, and when he saw his wife driving Chen Yu away, he hurriedly said: "What's wrong, what's wrong, I have something to say, Ah Fang, why do you take Xiao Chen away." ”

Although Chen Yu is a hall runner, he has a high education, knows a little English and Italian, and basically undertakes the task of the lobby manager, Wang Fatzi doesn't want Chen Yu to leave.

Chen Yu said coldly, "Brother Wang, Sister Wang, if you call you Sister Wang, settle my salary for me, I will leave immediately, I don't believe it, without Wang Butcher, you have to eat pigs with hair." ”

"Xiao Chen, if you have any requirements, ask me ......"

Wang Fatzi still wanted to keep it, but was pushed aside by his wife.

"Don't call me Sister Wang, it's not rare, and I can't afford it...... Wang Fatty, give him his salary and let him get out. ”

Chen Yu laughed angrily, "Boss Wang, you cow, today you let me get out, sooner or later, one day, I will return this sentence to you." ”

At this time, Boss Wang brought the money, and said to Chen Yu helplessly: "Brother, I'm sorry to ......."

"Say what you say." Sister Wang glared at her husband, reached out and grabbed the money, counted ten sheets, and threw them in front of Chen Yu, "Okay, surnamed Chen, I'll see what you have to do to let me get out." ”

Chen Yu didn't want to deal with this kind of snobbish and vulgar woman anymore, took the money, left the China Hotel without looking back, and wandered aimlessly on the street for a while. Francie Stadium.

This is the home stadium of the Serie B team Sienna, and Chen Yu comes to watch Sienna's matches every match day, and at the same time reports the score to the domestic underground gambling organization to earn a small income. In addition to match days, if you have time, Chen Yu will also come to watch Siena's training, Siena has no stars, but the overall tactics are good, the players are physically strong, and the level is not worse than the strong teams in the Chinese Super League.

It turns out that Chen Yu also had the dream of playing in the Italian second division, but this idea has always remained in his heart, and he did not dare to say it once, not that he is not brave enough, but he knows very well the gap with these players, there is no gap in skills, and the gap between body and consciousness is huge, he may not even be able to play a substitute, and even if he can play as a substitute, the non-European quota of European teams is also limited, and it is impossible to give a precious foreign aid quota to a Chinese player who can't even play as a substitute.

However, this time, Chen Yu decided to give it a try, he touched the USB drive hanging around his neck, and walked to Mendelssohn, assistant coach of Siena who was standing on the sidelines to rest.

Mendelssohn liked Chinese food and often frequented the Chinese restaurant where Chen Yu worked, Chen Yu could speak some English and Italian, and Mendelssohn mainly communicated with him, and the two of them were also familiar.

"Coach Mendelssohn, I want to play in Sienna, can you give me a tryout?"

Mendelssohn stared at the Chinese in front of him like an eagle, he was very young, but his eyes were full of confidence and fearlessness, Italian could only be a few simple words, English was also a little lame, but respectful and earnest, but what made Mendelssohn feel good was not just the attitude of this young man, but he often saw this young man in the stands, not only on game days, but also often saw him during training, but this did not make Mendelssohn give him a chance to try, If every stranger comes over and asks for a tryout, it will have a great impact on the team's training, and the team's reinforcements have ended, and now the troops are strong and there is no need to bring in foreign reinforcements.

"Hehe, boy, which team did you play professionally in?"

"Played in the second division for a year in China."

"I appreciate your courage, but I'm sorry, I can't give you the opportunity to tryout, because I don't have the power, and we don't need to add foreign aid......" Mendelssohn saw Chen Yu's disappointment, and couldn't help but say: "But if you can give me a game highlight that can impress me, I can recommend you to our head coach Mr. Maritimo and see what he means." ”

Chen Yu had long expected such a result, in fact, he also knew that it would be very difficult for a person like him with no professional experience to join the Italian second division team, but if he didn't give it a try, he wouldn't be reconciled, but he didn't expect Mendelssohn to provide him with such an opportunity, Chen Yu bowed deeply to Mendelssohn, "Xie Lu, thank you for giving me a chance, Coach Mendelssohn." ”

Mendelssohn smiled, "Talent will not be buried anywhere, I just provide a chance, whether you can be favored by Coach Maritimo or not depends on your own strength and luck." ”

"Yes, I understand."

Chen Yuxing left Artemio as fast as he could? Francie Stadium, returned to his home and rummaged through the cabinets, found his video highlights in a corner, handed them to assistant coach Mendelssohn, and then walked to the stands nervously, continued to watch the Siena team's training, figured out and learned the players' technical characteristics and tactical coordination, and secretly observed the expression of Siena's head coach Maritimo, but Maritimo did not have any unexpected reaction, and did not even look at the stands.

At noon, Chen Yu bought two breads and a cup of coffee to eat, and after eating, he started to play Live 8, and when he was playing, Xu Fei called.

"Brother Chen, let's play football, let's take revenge today, you must come, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

Chen Yu listened to Xu Fei's tone mysteriously, and said, "Xu Fei, what the hell do you want to do?" ”

Xu Fei said: "I called a buddy who plays in a professional team, let's go and kill that group of foreign ghosts together." ”

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "If you are recognized, you will not win if you win, and it will be even more embarrassing if you lose." ”

Xu Fei said: "No, this guy is from Florence, and now he is favored by the Florentine team and has become one of their players." ”

"Florence?! I'm afraid the level is also average. Chen Yu shook his head, although he lives in Siena, but he is also half of the Florence fans, the two cities are only 50 kilometers, and he often goes to see Florence's games on match days, but the current Florence is different from the original Serie A team, this year's Florence team is not alone, not only relegated from Serie A, but also forced to be relegated to the fourth professional league of C2 because of bankruptcy, two levels lower than Siena. Playing in C2, the level is probably not much stronger.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes right away. By the way, you bring your camera and record the game. ”

However, Chen Yu was still very happy, he was still worried that he might not be able to play those ghosts alone, after all, football is a collective sport, and Hao Dong is not a world-class striker, with Chen Yu's body binding his football consciousness, that is, a first- or third-rate professional player, but if there is another professional player, then the victory is assured.

"Okay, no problem." Xu Bing thought that Chen Yu wanted to record the glorious moment of defeating the ghosts, so he agreed without thinking about it.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu turned on the computer, plugged in the USB drive, and waited with some anxiety for the appearance of the football elf.

"Welcome to the Star Crash System, Elf One is at your service."

The computer screen quickly transformed from the classic WIN2000 interface to the golden world, and the stiff voice of the football elf with a big head and a small body came again, making Chen Yu's nervousness and apprehension disappear at once. He found the amateur version of the star awareness training system, bound the consciousness of striker Hao Dong, and quickly left the rental house and rode towards the park stadium.
