Chapter 51 Subtle Mindset ([-])
On the training ground of Fiorentina's first team, everyone is sitting and preparing for activities under the leadership of the coach.

And the two figures were running around the training ground one after the other.

It was Mu Jianfeng who was fined for being late, and Jovetic who was "betrayed" by his friends and even implicated.

At this time, Jovetic, who was running ahead, complained angrily:

"God, didn't you see the message I sent you! I told the coach for you that your sneakers broke, so you went back to the locker room to change your sneakers! Oh, shit! You are so mad Me!"

Hearing Jovetic's complaint, Mu Jianfeng explained apologetically:

"Sorry, Stefan. I really didn't see it. I slept too late yesterday. I slept in this morning. I was blocked by fans at the door and asked for an autograph. I finally got out and entered the locker room. I didn't even have time to look at my phone. .”

Hearing Mu Jianfeng's explanation, Jovetic rolled his eyes and said helplessly:

"This time I was really killed by you! It's been a long time since I ran laps. If the fans saw me, I would be ashamed! Don't you always arrive at the training ground very early? Why did you get up late this time? sleep so late?"

"Uh……"

Mu Jianfeng didn't know how to speak. Could it be that he told his good friend very directly that he was too excited last night and couldn't sleep?

Jovetic heard Mu Jianfeng's hesitation, and looked back at him suspiciously:
"You didn't sign for someone for the first time yesterday, and you couldn't sleep because you were so excited!?"

"how do you know……"

Hearing about Jovetic's flowers, Mu Jianfeng blurted out instinctively, and then felt ashamed to admit it directly!

"Nonsense, of course I have experienced it too!"

Jovetic, however, looked like someone who had been there, and said indifferently.

Hearing what Jovetic said, Mu Jianfeng looked curious, and then quickly ran a few steps forward, running side by side with Jovetic.

"Are you too? I thought you should be used to it!"

Mu Jianfeng looked at his friend curiously and asked.

"Nonsense, I'm not a saint. When I first knew that fans liked me, I was so happy for several days that I felt light when I walked."

Jovetic looked at Mu Jianfeng's strange look, curled his lips and explained.

Hearing this, Mu Jianfeng asked a little angrily, "Then what happened afterwards? How did you calm yourself down?"

"Hey~!" Jovetic sighed, and then continued to explain: "Later, I was too excited, which affected my training state. I was fined to sit on the bench and calmed down for several games."

"This..." Mu Jianfeng asked tentatively, "Is it because I was late when I entered the first team?"

"Get out! That was an accident!" Jovetic was a little annoyed when he heard that, and kept denying it.

In this way, the two ran quickly while communicating.

……

"Mr. Prandelli, did you deliberately let Jovetic run with Mu Jianfeng?"

On the training field at this time, because the two players he was mainly responsible for were being punished by the head coach for running laps, Coach Bruni, who was rarely idle, stood beside the head coach Prandelli and asked softly.

"That's right!" Prandelli nodded, "I saw Mu surrounded by fans at the door, and then hurried to the locker room."

"Then why didn't you directly point out Stefan's excuse?"

Bruni is a talented student who has carefully understood the science of workplace survival. At this time, he heard that the head coach only said half of what he said, so he asked very conscientiously.

"Yeah!" Sure enough, Prandelli looked at the coach with a strong desire for knowledge with a look of relief, and explained, "Scoring goals in two consecutive games, the pursuit of the media and fans, and changes in players' mentality, all these will be Affects the motivation of young people.”

After a pause, seeing Bruni listening carefully and thinking carefully, Prandelli continued to speak:
"So I take this opportunity to hope that Stefan, who has a good relationship with Mu, can help him. It just so happens that they are about the same age, and Stefan has also experienced these things, so he can give Mu some experience for reference."

"Oh, that's right!" Bruni suddenly realized, and then sincerely admired, "You're still thoughtful!"

Seeing Bruni thinking about study so seriously, Prandelli nodded and smiled in relief.

For a moment, the two coaches in the middle of the field and the two young men jogging on the sidelines were all in harmony.

……

After the other players finished their warm-up and practiced with the ball for a while, Mu Jianfeng and Jovetic finished running and walked towards Bruni who had already set up the training equipment.

Seeing that Mu Jianfeng and Jovetic were in good condition, Bruni asked jokingly:
"How is it, has the blood burned a little?"

Hearing this, Mu Jianfeng was embarrassed, and said a little embarrassingly:
"Coach, do you know everything?"

Bruni couldn't help but smile when he saw this young man, and said seriously:
"Look at your condition and the dark circles under your eyes. In addition, there are many fans with Asian faces outside the training ground in the morning. Everyone can see it. This is normal. It shows that you are still a young man and love this sport."

"Do you love..."

When Mu Jianfeng heard Bruni's words, he had some doubts in his heart, because he didn't know if he really loved football, maybe he would know it the day he retired!

"Okay, let's continue today's training in a while. By the way, Mu, you add a shooting training to today's training. Mr. Prandelli hopes to arrange more shooting methods for you."

Bruni did not go further into this topic, because today's training has actually already started.

"Good~"

Mu Jianfeng responded lazily. His current mental state is not bad, but his stomach is really hungry.

……

Under Bruni's strange eyes, Mu Jianfeng finally survived the morning training.

Although he himself is a little guilty, it may be because he didn't have time to eat breakfast, and his training state today is very poor.

But his hungry stomach had already protested several times, so as soon as the morning training was over, Mu Jianfeng dragged the somewhat reluctant Jovetic to the club's restaurant.

In the restaurant, because the youth team finished training a little later, there were not many people there when they first arrived at the restaurant.

The two of them ordered a lot of food and sat in the corner together to eat.

"Sorry guys, can I sit here?"

Mu Jianfeng, who was working hard, heard the question in his ear, looked up in doubt, and saw the first-team teammate, Montorivo, who was also young but had been in the team for a long time, holding a plate.

"Woo, sit here!" Mu Jianfeng swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said in embarrassment: "Sorry, I didn't have time to eat in the morning, and I died of starvation."

"Of course! Ricardo, are you eating in the restaurant today?"

Jovetic looked happily at Ricardo Montolivo, the only first-team teammate who took the initiative to communicate with him before becoming friends with Mu Jianfeng and who was not much different in age.

Looking at the two natural and sincere young people in front of him, Montolivo smiled for no reason, feeling inexplicably relaxed.

He put the dinner plate on the table, sat opposite the two, and asked:
"How does it feel to be famous?"

Of course Mu Jianfeng knew that he was asking himself this question, because Jovetic had long been a well-known genius boy.

So he scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at the first-team senior who was a few years older than himself and said, "It's not bad, I feel a little happy, but a little at a loss."

"That's normal. When Pacini and I first debuted in Atlanta, there was a lot of media attention. Even in a football manager game, we were called the Atlanta twins, and I was even commented by many media as the next A Roberto Baggio."

After finishing speaking, Montolivo smiled self-deprecatingly, and then continued:
“Later, Mr. Corvino brought us to Florence. He told me from the first meeting, 'We don't want everything to happen too fast, you represent an important investment that must grow calmly'. I am I was luckier than Pacini, because Fiorentina had enough space for me in the midfield, so I could get chances to play steadily."

"Later, we gradually failed to meet the expectations of the media, and gradually they stopped talking about us."

"I want to say that these pursuits are temporary. If your ability cannot meet their expectations, they may forget you in a blink of an eye."

"So, as a professional player, when you get these pursuits, you must first consider the expectations you bear. Let that sense of responsibility overwhelm the fluttering feeling, so that you can go further.
