Saturday, 27 July 1996.

For countless Chinese fans, it is an extraordinary day.

The best players of the national team, just today, will join the best league, and it is also their first love in football, the earliest league broadcast nationally - Serie A.

There is a 6-hour time difference between Italy and China, After breakfast, after the newspaper is rotten, the live broadcast has not yet started, after all, there is still some time before dawn on the Apennine Peninsula.

I can only wait anxiously.

Lin Supo and Shaparev also got up early, and the staff of the Club of Rome came to their hotel early and asked the two to choose their jersey numbers.

There is no way to get important numbers like 9 and 7, and now that Roma's 9 belongs to Abel Balbo, the Argentine striker, who already has Italian nationality, has just won the No. 9 shirt with 45 goals in three seasons, and he can't be deprived of it before he gets hot.

Moreover, Lin Supo is just a favored player, and Abel Balbo is a consistent goalscorer for Roma right now.

Even Fonseca, who scored only eight goals last season, got the number 10 shirt, so let's line up later.

And the No. 18 jersey that Lin Supo wore in Spartak before also has an owner, which is the Italian player Tomasi, who just joined Roma from Verona, and the owner of the No. 7 jersey is Francisco Morillo, the future Roman prince is not like a minion now, but it is similar, the number is No. 17.

Lin Supo chose the No. 16 jersey, which is temporarily unavailable, while Shaparev chose the No. 20.

Immediately after that, the club's staff left to grab the printed numbers and jerseys that would be needed for the press conference.

Shaparev looked a little nervous.

"Relax man, Caesar wasn't nervous until he went to clear out the pirates."

When he came to Rome, Lin Supo also made a "Roman joke".

"But I don't speak Italian, recently I've been learning Chinese, I don't know Italian at all, will the fans be unhappy?"

"Don't worry, Roma bought us to play football, not to perform a talk show, you can just say 'ciao' and say hello when you see someone."

"Really?"

"Of course, there is no country that hates polite people."

Xiao Sa, who was listening on the side, thought that Lin Supo was teasing Shaparev, and kept laughing. Sawaning and Duan Xuan are the ones who entered the TV station through the host competition, and the young people basically ran outside at the beginning, Duan Xuan was lucky and liked football.

No way, the Italian word "hello" sounds very similar to the national curse, but in fact it is pronounced "Joe" not "".

He studied law, and it is normal that he does not know Italian in the age of the Internet.

Lin Supo turned his head and glared at Sabening, the two of them were about the same age, and they knew each other very well, Shaparev was nervous originally, and it was even worse for you to smile like this.

"You really don't have much knowledge as a top student, remember to buy an Italian dictionary when you go back."

"Okay, I'll go."

Sabanin raised his hands in surrender.

At half past nine o'clock Italian time, the staff took the film crew away first, and went to the press conference site and stadium layout, and only after 2 hours, did they come to pick up Lin Supo and Shaparev.

Italians have a late schedule, so they chose this time.

Originally, there was no need for such fanfare, on the one hand, Sensi had said that he would bring in big-name players in the summer, on the other hand, he had also seen the rapid changes in China in Yanjing, thinking of the huge market of 1.3 billion people, as a businessman, he immediately showed keen observation, and when Lin Supo did not sign a contract with him in Rome, he had already called the staff to arrange it.

Lin Supo and Shaparev are not as good as the big names who shine in the European Cup, but their excellent performance in the Champions League last season is also good, and they are very good reinforcements for Roma now.

It is worth mentioning that the Sensi family is also in the oil business, opened a hotel in Rome in the early years, and later started to play with oil, and now Frank Sensi's assets are similar to Inter boss Moratti, which is 2.2 billion US dollars.

However, it is clear that Sensi knows more about being in the limelight than Moratti.

The elder Sensi actually arranged two Ferraris and let his second and third daughters serve as drivers, apparently achieving the ultimate in attracting attention.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, they instantly attracted the attention of all reporters.

Erasing Fei Lin is not a joke at all, Lin Supo regrets not wearing sunglasses.

Fortunately, the security of the stadium was strong, and it didn't take long for reporters to enter the stadium. Lin and Po also met the team's coach Serra for the first time.

"Welcome to Rome."

Sierra seemed friendly.

Lin Supo said in fluent Italian: "Thank you very much, I will give everything for the victory." ”

"Beautiful Italian with a pure accent."

Serra was struck by Sensi's ability to speak Italian, not Sicilian or Neapolitan.

Lin Supo was the translator, and Serra had a brief chat with Shaparev, and then they left the press conference room together.

Pretending to sign the contract, and then exchanging, in fact, it had been signed before, and then shaking hands with the coach, Lin Supo held up the No. 16 jersey, and Shaparev held the No. 20 on the other side.

Serra said to reporters with an excited face: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time, I believe that people who watched last season's Champions League will have the same idea as me, I am very happy to announce that for only 10 million US dollars, we got the best player in the Champions League, and now Roma has two more excellent attackers, and the fans have every reason to expect us to kill in Serie A." ”

Lin Supo answered a few questions simply, the reporters on the scene were more friendly, and it was obvious that Lao Senxi had an arrangement. For example, the mouthpiece of Lazio, the city's sworn enemy, was not invited, otherwise it would certainly not be so simple.

The main thing is whether he has the confidence to win the Golden Boot, the championship and the like, Lin Supo is not stupid, it is impossible to say so much, they all use words like trying their best and working hard.

The mouth is cool for a while, but if it can't be completed at that time, it will have to be turned over.

The combination of Lin Supo and Serie A is the best for Chinese fans, Serie A is the first love of football for Chinese fans, and every Serie A team now has a large number of fans, although some fans are not very happy that they go to Rome, but it is better than playing in Russia.

Spartak Moscow, even if it is the leader of the Russian Premier League, still feels a little worse than the Serie A team.

Then came the main event, with Lin Supo and Shaparev taking off their suits and changing into jerseys under the guidance of the staff.

Even Lin Supo, who had a big heart, inevitably felt a little nervous.

You know, there are more than 20,000 Roma fans outside, although it is far from Maradona's record of 65,000 fans on the spot, but there are also many people.

It was the first time he had faced so many people without a match.

Not to mention Shaparev, the kid's legs were already shaking.

The DJ at the scene was introduced, and the old Sensi scene began to have a bittersweet memory.

"My father invested in Rome when it was founded, and our relationship with Rome lasted for 68 years, and three years ago, seeing Rome fall, I felt as a Roman stand up and I came back! Now, step by step, I want to take Roma to the top of the world and become the king of Italy, so I personally went to convince the best player last season, Roma, that he was about to rise!! ”

There was another round of cheers.

Lin Supo complained a little, although now it is no problem to say that becoming the king of Italy is to stand on top of the world, but the decline of Serie A is also a matter of time.

Roma is not much better off than Inter Milan, and it is also a club targeted by the "Holy League".

While he was thinking, the staff reminded: "It's time to play." ”

After stepping on the turf, Lin Supo became the protagonist, and Shaparev didn't say anything other than "ciao" into the microphone, standing on the side like a quail.

Lin Supo faced his fears head-on, and changed from the stage of social fear to the stage of social bull.

First, he waved his hand and greeted him with a Roman accent: "How are you guys, Roma fans?" ”

There was a shout in response, and then he began his own performance.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV were dumbfounded, Lin Supo is not only a language genius, but this kid also has a solid personality, and there is no stage fright at all in such a big scene.

"Compared to some of the big clubs, Roma's honours are a little worse, the most recent title, and also Roma's second Italian top league title, was won by Carlo Ancelotti, Conte, Cerezo in the 80s, I came here, I never wanted to mess around. I can't guarantee ten or twenty years at Roma, but I tell you that before I leave, I'll lift our third league title with Roma! ”

Boom –

Lin Supo's bold words obviously stimulated the Roma fans, and more than 20,000 fans at the scene frantically shouted their names and shouted "We want the championship".

Sensi, who watched everything in the players' tunnel, was very satisfied with the situation, as a businessman, he just likes to be in the limelight, Lin Supo's approach is very good, he is very satisfied.

However, the team's head coach Serra smiled wryly.

Speaking of Rome, that is, it is stronger than the relegation team, at most in the middle of the stream, and it is too early to win the championship, and now the pressure is on him. The first impression of Lin Supo immediately changed from the previous humble and polite to a careerist, and perhaps some arrogance.

Lin Supo waved his arms, and the other one held the microphone, constantly chanting: "Champion, champion......"

In the end, the Roma team song "Rome, Rome" was sung live, which attracted the fans to sing together. It is not yet known how he will perform in Serie A, but now the fans are clearly impressed by the new No.16, and many fans feel that Lin Supo was born a Roman.

Of course, the final stage is still juggling, and Lin Supo has become Shaparev's supporting role in this regard.

His sense of the ball is not bad or too good, but Shaparev hit the goal frame with the ball 4 times in a row at his suggestion, and the ball did not land in the whole process, and kept returning to Shaparev's side, and then volleyed into the goal frame, such a wonderful performance made Roma fans exclaim.
