Chinese champion

Chapter 224 Brilliant Road Back to Milan
The 2004-2005 Serie A season was the latest among the five major European leagues. However, due to the Champions League qualifiers and the Intertoto Cup, the concentration of Serie A teams is not too late. Generally speaking, at 8 In the first ten days of the month, all the Serie A teams had already started the pre-season training. From this point of view, it was very unfavorable for Pei Wei. Due to the delayed transfer, Pei Wei did not officially become a member of Inter Milan until the 21st. When he came to the team to report, other teammates had been training together for nearly half a month. During this period, they also played a Champions League qualifying match. The result was not very good. They were defeated by Barcelona in Switzerland in an away game. Seoul drew 1:1.

In the early morning of the 22nd, Pei Wei came to the Pinetina training base in the car of assistant coach Ferlando Auros. Inter Milan provided him with a residence in the suburbs of Milan, but because Pei Wei's car was still left There was no delivery in Mallorca, so he had to take Oros' car.

"Pei, I've arrived. I believe you are familiar with this place. Robert (Mancini) and the players are in the locker room now. Let's go say hello together. You will come by yourself for the next training."

"I see, Ferlando." Pei Wei is still familiar with Oros, because he once served as the head coach of the Inter Milan youth team for a period of time and taught Pei Wei. The former head coach Cooper recommended Pei Wei, but Cooper never adopted it.

"Robert, Pei is here!" Turning around a corridor, Pei Wei and Oros happened to meet Mancini who was waiting: "I'll hand him over to you, I'll go prepare the training equipment first!"

"Yeah." Mancini nodded, and led Pei Wei to the locker room: "It's been a week since the training camp, and you haven't practiced with your teammates once, and it's not long before the first round of competition. It's only been half a month, how is your recovery?"

"My physical strength is fine now, because I kept training when I was at home, sir." Pei Wei said politely.

"Very good, I am very glad to see that you can demand yourself like this. This is the quality that a professional player should have." Mancini smiled and nodded: "Also, don't call me Mr. in the future, just call me Robert OK."

Pei Wei froze for a moment, saw that Mancini had already walked forward, and hurriedly followed: "Okay, Robert."

Standing in front of the locker room, Pei Wei was a little nervous. This was different from when he went to Mallorca. At that time, the Mallorca team basically had no big-name players, and he was the youngest. Captain Nadal quickly integrated into the team, but Inter Milan is different. Needless to say, the big names are like clouds. After Vieri, captain Zanetti, Recoba and other players, the other players are not familiar with them at all.

In addition, among the top teams in Serie A, the atmosphere in Inter Milan's locker room has always been tense, so Pei Wei is really a little guilty.

Perhaps seeing Pei Wei's nervousness, Mancini patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, they are all great lads, and there are many players who just transferred over this year like you, go and play against them." Say hello."

Pei Wei nodded, took a deep breath, then gently opened the door, and strode in.

Twenty or so teammates in the locker room turned and looked over when they heard the door knocking. Pei Wei was not used to being stared at by so many people suddenly. He hurriedly bowed. In fact, he didn't like doing this the least. Yes, it should feel a bit like Little Japan: "Hello everyone! I am your new teammate, my name is Pei Wei, Chinese, I have returned to Inter Milan from Mallorca, I hope to get along well with everyone and make a contribution to Inter Milan. contribute!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head, just in time to see Martins winking at him, Pei Wei couldn't help smiling, and in a blink of an eye, Pei Wei saw Adriano who was beside Martins, and the two of them also They were old acquaintances, seeing two acquaintances around, Pei Wei felt a little more at ease.

"Welcome, Chinese boy!" Captain Javier Zanetti walked over from the side and greeted him first: "I am Zanetti, the captain of this team. Welcome to the Inter Milan club!"

"Hello, captain." Pei Wei said.

"Call me Javier." Zanetti turned around and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to other teammates."

"Christian Vieri, our number one striker, you can call him Popo."

"Hello, Popo."

"Hello, Chinese boy." Vieri was smart enough not to call Pei Wei a Chinese boy, because Recoba also had such a nickname.

"Rett Adriano."

"Hello, Rhett."

"We are old acquaintances. I still remember the revenge you led the Chinese team to eliminate our Brazilian team!" Adriano laughed.

"No way, I will pass the ball to you on the court as compensation." Pei Wei also said with a smile.

After being introduced to Martins, this kid immediately gave Pei Wei a bear hug: "Pei! You are here, we can be together again in the future!"

"Yeah, Obama, glad we're together again!"

……

As Zanetti introduced other teammates to him along the way, Pei Wei also distinguished from the expressions of his teammates who had a good impression of him, such as Cambiasso who also transferred this year. Wei expressed his friendliness. He and Pei Wei have played against each other more than once in La Liga. He is very aware of Pei Wei's strength. The strikers also seem to appreciate him, probably because he is able to give them strong support on the field. Bar!
There are also unfriendly people!No, the famous "villain" in Serie A in front of him doesn't seem to be interested in him...

"Haha, Chinese boy, you seem to be very popular in La Liga, but Serie A is not as simple as you imagined. Those useless defenders in La Liga can't guard you, so you have to be careful in Serie A!" Marek Matela Qi held Pei Wei's hand and kept shaking it, laughing and saying.

pain!Mate Laqi's hand clamped Pei Wei's hand like iron clamps. Pei Wei obviously felt that the other party seemed to be using a lot of force. After holding back the pain, Pei Wei smiled and said without saying a word : "Maybe it's like this... This is why I yearn for Serie A! It's only interesting to compete against a strong opponent... Isn't it?"

"I hope your strength can stand shoulder to shoulder with your tone, boy!" Materacchi didn't seem to be persuaded by Pei Wei's words, and Pei Wei could only smile wryly.

"Okay, okay, the training is about to start, let's go, don't make the coach wait too long!" Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little stiff, the captain Zanetti came out to smooth things over, and he led Pei Wei to a locker. He said: "This cabinet will be yours from now on, and your clothes and shoes can be put in it." This cabinet was obviously prepared long ago, and there happened to be one of his training clothes in it.

Pei Wei took out the training uniform silently and changed into it, then walked out of the locker room with the captain.

"Actually, you don't have to care too much." Seeing Pei Wei seemed a little sullen, Zanetti smiled and explained to him: "Marecco is actually a good guy, and he is very popular in the team, but his temper is a bit irritable. , and get to know him better in the future.”

"It's okay, I'm not angry with him, it's just the captain..." Pei Wei raised his head: "Is it because I didn't want to go back to Inter Milan in the first place that made many teammates dissatisfied with me?"

"Maybe a little." Zanetti thought for a while, and said sincerely: "Actually, I understand your mood very well, I can understand your feelings, maybe some teammates have misunderstood you in one way or another, but you don't Be discouraged by this, and use your performance to conquer other people and let them slowly accept you." He patted Pei Wei on the shoulder: "I have watched your game, and I believe you have the ability to help us win... …As long as you behave well, no one will deliberately make things difficult for you."

"I see, thank you, Captain."

******************************************
There was a lot of exercise in the training, perhaps because the players had just returned from vacation. Mancini wanted to restore the players' physical fitness as soon as possible, which made Pei Wei a little uncomfortable, because in La Liga, there had never been such a large amount of exercise.

But Pei Wei is still very committed to it. He knows that his physical fitness is his weakest link, and Serie A can be said to be the most competitive league in the world. To play in such a league, his physical fitness must be outstanding, so , no matter how difficult it was, he still gritted his teeth and persisted. He didn't want to be looked down upon by other teammates.

"Pei is not bad." Mancini said to Oros with satisfaction: "Although he looks a little tired, but his condition is slowly coming out. I think he will be able to play in Serie A in a short time."

"Do you want him to play the main force? So what about Juan (Veron)? The competition between the two of them is difficult to choose." Oros said.

"Originally I only wanted one of them, because the core of the midfield only needed one, but now there are two of them, which one of them do you think is better as the main force?" Mancini asked.

"It's hard to say." Oros shook his head: "Juan has more experience, and is very familiar with Serie A, and his defensive ability is better than Pei, but he hasn't played much in the past two years, and he still doesn't know how he is. Young, with more room for development, and has performed very well in La Liga in recent years, but whether he can adapt to Serie A is still a question, and this question is difficult to answer."

"Well... It seems that we can only find the answer from the game. It will be the TIM Telecom Cup soon. I just want to test which lineup is more powerful." The TIM Telecom Cup is a traditional event before the start of Serie A. Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan will participate. Each team will play two halves, and the points will be counted at the end to compete for the championship. Although it is not an important game, it is of key significance as a warm-up before the start of the season .

"The Telecom Cup is three days later... It would be great if we can decide on the main lineup. It will be the second round against Basel soon, and we can't afford to lose." Oros said.

"We were at home in that game. I believe we can win the opponent smoothly. Although Basel has been a dark horse in the Champions League for several years, it is impossible for us to lose." Mancini said confidently.

**********************************
"Ker, you have already graduated, where are you going to work?" Pei Wei lay on the bed in his apartment and called Marco.

Marco'er's voice came from the phone: "I haven't made up my mind yet. It's hard to find a job in clinical nursing now. I'll probably help out in my father's clinic for a while. He's short of manpower."

"Well, that's not bad, we're all a family, so it's easier to take care of them." Pei Wei said with a smile.

"What about you? How is it at Inter Milan? It's difficult to adapt to a new environment, right?" Marco asked with concern.

"Well, it's a bit difficult." Pei Wei, who was aroused by Ma Ke'er's words, replied subconsciously, but he immediately realized that he should not worry Ma Ke'er, so he quickly changed his tone: "But it's okay, why, Still don't believe your boyfriend has this ability?"

"Bah! Whose boyfriend are you!" Ma Ke'er said shyly, "But Pei Wei, when will you come to my house to play? My mother has been talking about you, and my father also wants to see you..."

Hearing Ma Ke'er's voice getting lower and lower, Pei Wei couldn't help being overjoyed: "I must visit my uncle and aunt when I have time... But I'm afraid I don't have much time now, I will definitely go when the league is free, no matter what We need to pick a good day to officially come to the door."

"Glib!" Marco said half-annoyed and half-joyed, "Why are you getting more and more glib now, who did you learn from!"

After teasing a few more words, Pei Wei said with emotion: "Ke'er, it's great to live in the same city with you in the future." After a while of silence, Pei Wei continued: "I really appreciate Happy."

"Me too." Marco said softly.

"It's very late, go to bed, lack of sleep is the natural enemy of a girl's skin!"

"Go to bed early, too. You seem to have a Telecommunications Cup match tomorrow, right? Get a good rest!"

Pei Wei hung up the phone, sat up from the bed, and looked outside the bed.

Milan, after three years of leaving you, I came back here again, but I don’t know if the sky here is still the same as it was three years ago?
