Chapter 441 A Pot of Cold Water

A series of big deals undoubtedly made Piacenza one of the most active clubs in Serie A this season.

By continuously buying excellent players, fans have felt the club's strong ambitions for next season, which undoubtedly makes Piacenza fans quite excited.

Some neutral fans also became more and more curious about Piacenza, and began to learn more about this dark horse in the league last season.

These are naturally very beneficial to the sound development of the club, at least the team's season tickets sold in advance for the new season are selling very well.

As for the Chinese fans and media who paid attention to Piacenza because of Liu Feng, seeing Super Maple's club's continuous strengthening of the team's strength, they are more and more looking forward to when Super Maple will win the first championship on behalf of China.

As a result, Piacenza's transfer drama this summer has indeed aroused great repercussions in both Italy and China.

The words "Armani is better than him!" have started to appear on forums and post bars.

However, there was a huge difference in the response to one thing, that is, Xu Genbao took three players to the Piacenza reserve team for trial training.

After Liu Feng became famous in Piacenza, almost all the people who followed him in China knew his story.

From China to the reserve team for trial training, he became the absolute core in the reserve team. After entering the first team for half a season, he turned the tide and helped the team succeed in the top flight. Then he directly helped the team get the second place in Serie A in the first season of being promoted to the top league with his unbeatable performance.

This series of operations seemed so exciting that when news of players going to Piacenza for trial training appeared in the media again, everyone had a thought: Will the story of Super Maple be replicated?

It's a pity that the reality slapped the fans who were optimistic about the future of Chinese football because of Liu Feng's rise, and poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

"Products produced by Genbao base must be high-quality goods," this is a domestically recognized fact. On the basis of the fact that major clubs have just formed a youth training system, Xu Genbao, who started this as early as seven years ago, should be able to bring out some malleable talents.

After all, the East Asian club has only been established for a long time, and the major domestic giants have begun to snap up their players. This is enough to prove that the young players under Xu Genbao are much better than other domestic players of the same age.

It can even be said that there is no better young player in China.

However, under such circumstances, the media who had squatted outside the Piacenza reserve team early reported news that the three players were suspected to be all rejected.

So, let us draw our attention to the trial training base.

When Liu Feng received a call from Xu Genbao, the three players had already appeared on the training ground of the Piacenza reserve team. At that time, when he learned that Liu Feng had recommended these three Chinese players to the club for trial training, Cecilio, who was in charge of the youth training of the team, even came out to receive Xu Genbao and his team in person.

Cecilio, who won a big lottery like Super Maple, is looking forward to what kind of surprises the young Chinese players in front of Sanming can bring to him, and Lucas, who took over the reserve team after Francini became a consultant, also has the same idea.

Unfortunately, the results of the trial training surprised them.

The performance of these players in various events on the court reminded them of the youth training players in Italy in the last century.

From basic skills to various values, they are far behind the players on the current team, especially the thin player who is only less than 1.7 meters tall. His body looks like it will be knocked apart when hit, and the test of his physical strength also confirmed this point of view.

Although there was no training match, but based on such data alone, Lucas had the idea of ​​rejecting the opponent.

"Cecileo, look..." Together with the person in charge, Lucas, who was the direct decision-maker, began to communicate with Cecilio.

"Um, Lucas, they were recommended by Feng."

After a moment of silence, Cecilio opened his mouth: "If it's not good to refuse directly, maybe you can let them follow the training for a week first, and then invite Feng to watch the final training match. Even if you don't accept them, I don't think Feng will have any dissatisfaction with the club."

"Hmm, yes."

In major clubs, there has always been a tradition of the old leading the young, that is, after some big stars join the team, they bring their family members or players with good relationships into the club.

Just like Kaka who played for Milan before, his younger brother Digan got the chance to join Milan because of his relationship with Kaka.

Although there are few opportunities to play in the first team due to strength issues, he has played comfortably in the Milan second team for so many years with an annual salary of 100 million euros.

This kind of joint joining is not uncommon. While giving advice to Lucas, Cecilio has already begun to think about whether to keep a player as a comfort to Liu Feng.

Naturally, the four of Xu Genbao didn't know the content of the discussion between Lucas and Cecilio. They only saw the middle-aged Italian coach walking over with a frown and politely told them that there was still some gap with their requirements, but they could try out for a week to see the situation.

Xu Genbao, who is already in his 60s, has already understood the ways of the world. Looking at Lucas's performance, he can't understand what it means. He can only say hello dryly, and take Wu Lei and the three to leave the stadium and return to their residence. Anyway, let's talk after the trial training.

And when he walked out of the court, the answer he gave to the domestic media was quite pessimistic.

After a few days of trial training, Xu Genbao, who followed the whole process, finally saw the huge gap between Italy's youth training and China's. Seeing the three players he regarded as his treasure kept being thrown away during training, his heart was half lost and half sad.

What is lost is that his hard work for so many years has been behind closed doors after all. He has built the best car in China, but even the products of an ordinary Italian club are better than him. What is the point of this?

What is sad is that the players who have been trained through hard work seem to be unable to stay in Italy on their own.

Finally, the day before the training match, Xu Genbao called Liu Feng.

The seven-day trial training ended soon, and Lucas finally officially arranged a training match in the team. The two teams were divided into red and blue teams to start a duel. At the same time, Liu Feng and Francini, who was invited by Liu Feng, were present.

Liu Feng, who is not very familiar with human relations, also felt the strong disappointment in Xu Genbao's tone when he received the call from Xu Genbao, which puzzled Liu Feng who only had a face-to-face meeting with Mr. Xu and his party after they came to Piacenza.

In his impression, not to mention other players, at least the young player named Wu Lei is still fully capable of playing in the reserve team.

Therefore, in order to find out, Liu Feng, who also received an invitation from Lucas, decided to come and have a look in person. At the same time, he did not forget to call out the old coach Francini who had the kindness to know him. This old coach still has a very high prestige in the club's youth training.

　Chapter 2 here!In fact, it is quite sad to say that everyone is blowing the products of Genbao Base, and this group of players is indeed the backbone of domestic players today, but only the martial arts king can play against the Spaniards, and they are not the core of the offense. This is very explainable...
