Chapter 54 The Stubborn Castori

Liu Feng did not live in Milan that night, but took the train back to Piacenza after sending Yuan Xiao back to school.

That night, when he rushed back to Chen's Restaurant, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when he saw a crowd of reporters surrounding the training ground, he was a little surprised.

Because most of those reporters have the same Chinese face as him, obviously they are some reporters from domestic media.

"Liu Feng! Can I ask you some questions?"

"Liu Feng, do you have any ideas about beating the Milan reserve team?"

"Will you become the pride of China in Italy like Dong Fangzhuo?"

……

As usual, Liu Feng ran to the training base, so he couldn't hide from these reporters. Seeing that they were all his compatriots, Liu Feng briefly answered a few questions from the reporters.

Then he quickly got into the training base on the grounds that he was still busy with training.

But those reporters are already very satisfied. Last night, the video of Liu Feng performing a hat-trick to beat the AC Milan reserve team once again caused a sensation on the domestic Internet.

Countless netizens who hadn't noticed Liu Feng before also became very interested in him.

The interest of the masses is the interest of the media. For a while, the reporters of the major sports newspapers in the country received a call from the editor-in-chief in the middle of the night, asking them to get Liu Feng's information no matter what the next day. This is a deadly order.

So, this group of reporters showed up early in the morning the next day, and it can only be said that the motivation to have a good meal can always make people do their best.

As for Li Peng, as the reporter who first came into contact with Liu Feng, he didn't have to wait like this group of colleagues. He had an exclusive interview with Liu Feng as early as yesterday after the game ended.

So when the editors-in-chief of the major sports newspapers are anxiously waiting for news from their own reporters, the main feature of the weekly sports newspaper's inventory of overseas players is already Liu Feng, who made Milan's talents become the background board.

It has to be said that in terms of football, Sports Weekly is always one step ahead of its domestic counterparts.

At this time, Li Peng was eating breakfast at home, watching the promotion message sent by the editor-in-chief, and now he was no longer the temporary foreign reporter who was afraid of being recalled to China at any time.

When Liu Feng walked into the training field, it was different than before. The atmosphere of the team today did not seem to be as relaxed as after winning the game.

"El, what happened?"

Liu Feng scratched his head. Yesterday he received a message from the head coach saying that today there will be no holiday: "Is it because there is no rest?"

"Um, didn't you see the head coach of the first team coming! Feng, congratulations, I think you will enter the first team soon!"

It was only then that Liu Feng noticed that beside Francini, there were two more figures.

One was Cecilio, the youth training manager of Piacenza whom Liu Feng knew, and the other was an old man in his 50s who looked quite serious.

"I repeat again, what I need is the defensive players."

The head coach of the first team, Castori, once again reiterated his needs to Francini and Cecilio, who crazily recommended the Chinese striker to him.

As for the Chinese player, Castori, who has been overwhelmed by the situation of the first team, has no patience to tell the two in front of him that his lineup does not need more forwards.

Since the start of the Second Division, Piacenza has been leading the league in the number of goals conceded.

With five rounds left in the first half of the game, Piacenza, who had a gratifying record last season, is now only ranked tenth in the league. Castori believes that this is related to the team's poor defense.

Piacenza's team was in turmoil in the last summer window. The defensive core Campaniaro was sold, the head coach was also poached by Iiachini, and Castori became the team's coach.

What he has been doing since he took over is to adjust the team's defense. Not long ago, because of the team's consecutive losses, he and the defense veteran Lorenzo Dana directly fell out, and now he has put him on the bench.

Castori suddenly informed Cecilio yesterday that he was going to the reserve team to select players today.So Cecilio and Francini had to let the boys who had just played a high-intensity game go to the training base as usual the next day.

"Believe me, Kaede can make a big difference to a team."

"What's the situation? Are you distrusting my coaching?"

Glaring at Cecilio, the first-team boss was not happy with the academy manager trying to interfere with his player selection.

"I can tell you unequivocally that even if he came to my team, he wouldn't have the chance to play."

Cecilio was left speechless by the stubborn old man in front of him, he could only watch Francini helplessly spread his hands.

Although the team's current record is not good, but before the club is completely disappointed with Castori, as the head coach of the first team, he has a great say in the team.

So as long as he is unwilling to recruit Liu Feng, no matter what Francini and Cecilio say, it will be useless.

After all, you can't force a head coach to do something he doesn't want to do. Now it is obvious that Castori has a big opinion on Liu Feng because of the recommendation of the two.

"Okay! Are the players all here?"

Unwilling to continue the topic, Castori waved his hand and walked towards the players who were warming up under the leadership of Lucas together with Francini.

"Hello, boys!"

"Hello there!"

Forming a circle, the Piacenza players looked at Castori in the center of the circle with some excitement.

The appearance of first-team coaches who have rarely appeared in the reserve team here means that some of them are about to start their league careers.

"I am here today, I think you already know why."

Castori cut to the chase: "Now, the defensive players of the team please stand up."

"what?"

After Liu Feng arrived, the team members who congratulated him one after another were dumbfounded. They always thought that Castori in front of him came to the reserve team because of Liu Feng.

Scarpelli asked directly: "Sir, didn't you come here for Liu Feng?"

"Oh? That's a good question."

Hearing the name of the Chinese player again, Castori glanced at Scarpelli and Liu Feng beside him: "No."

Scarpelli was a little terrified by that sharp gaze, and after Liu Feng patted himself on the shoulder to signal not to say more, he chose to shut up.

Soon, a training match for the reserve team's defenders began.

Before coming, Castori had already obtained information about the defense line from Francini, and he has already had several goals this time.After some observation, he quickly chose the players he needed, namely the young Scarpelli and Gadri.

Lorenzo has been put up for sale by Castori to the club, so he needs two defensive players when he comes to the reserve team this time.

Scarpelli, who has just been promoted to the reserve team this season but has already established his main position, and Gadri, who has rich game experience, have become his first choice, and his performance also makes him very satisfied.

"Okay, you two will report to the first team field tomorrow."

"Sir, Liu Feng really..."

Scarpelli also wants to fight for his good friend and half-idol Liu Feng.But the back view of Castori turning away without hesitation made him understand that it is useless to say more.

"Okay El, congratulations on entering the first team, let's work hard!"

Liu Feng, who was standing next to Scarpelli, clenched his fists. He felt a little unwilling, but there were some things that he could do nothing about, so he calmed down his emotions quickly, and sent blessings to his good friend.

"maple……"

Scarpelli lowered his head, obviously he couldn't accept the ending of Liu Feng being ignored.

　I checked the information and changed the name of the head coach of the first team, see Chapter 41 for details. (Has little effect)
　　Then keep asking for recommendations!Ask for collection! !
