Chapter 79 A Letter from Home

"Mom and Dad, how are you? I'm fine." Under the energy-saving lamp, Shi Hao typed out such a bland beginning on the laptop screen emitting faint fluorescence.

"The coach informed me today that I will report to the U20 echelon tomorrow. I have been training with Inter Milan's U18 echelon for more than a week. This is a very good thing, which shows that my hope of signing a contract has greatly increased."

"In the first two days of training, my performance was average." In fact, it was very poor, Shi Hao thought to himself.He is a newcomer and cannot speak the language. He doesn't know what the coach asks him to do, and he can't communicate with his teammates.And those animals in the Inter Milan U18 echelon...is that called 18 years old?All of them were stronger than the strongest opponents he encountered in the college league, and the training was more intense than the finals of the Chinese League Two.

However, after three days, Shi Hao still got used to it, and he could understand some simple vocabulary from the coach. "Very good" "Nice" "One more time" and so on.

Once he got used to this rhythm, Shi Hao's performance in training improved by leaps and bounds, and no one could guard against him in the team match. The head coach of U18, after talking with Roberto Samaden, director of youth training, agreed that Shi Hao has already been able to gain a foothold in a higher echelon.

"However, all the hard work has paid off, and now my teammates respect me very much." Someone used to call me a yellow-skinned monkey in private... Shi Hao thought to himself, racial discrimination is quite common in Italy.But for this kind of bastard, just use the strength to crush him to teach him to be a man, so you don't need to spend too much time talking with him.

"I made two friends, one named Chrisetig and one named Romano, both midfielders. I think they are both geniuses, and they will definitely shine in the future. But they are a little worse than me. .Last night I sneaked to the bar with them, but I didn't drink. The girls here are very open, I'm not used to it, and my Italian is not good enough, so I just sat in the corner by myself Drink juice." After writing this, Shi Hao stopped and began to miss Liu Xiyu uncontrollably.

He recalled every moment of their time together, every frown, every smile.She giggled when she heard his jokes under the covers, and twisted his waist hard.

He recalled that when he entered her, she lightly gritted her teeth, with a painful expression on her face, and then her brows relaxed, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist.

He imagined that he would stop the trial training, catch the next flight back to Hewu City, and suddenly appear in front of Liu Xiyu, hugging her tightly.

He imagined himself holding her pointed chin, looking into her eyes affectionately, and said emotionally: "I'm back, because I found that I can't live without you."

But this is impossible.Shi Hao shook his head.It is impossible to do such a thing by oneself.

Because no one can make him give up football.

Neither can Liu Xiyu.

Even though he misses Liu Xiyu, Shi Hao would rather endure the torment of this kind of missing, and let himself try his best to fight for the possibility of signing a contract on the training ground.

"I feel that I may play in the next U20 league game against Cesena, which will also be the last U20 league game before the winter break. Although the coach didn't say it clearly, I think he means it. Trials and For almost a week, I had to work harder and take my chances."

"I live in a very good place. The club arranged for me to live in the home of a diehard Inter Milan fan. This man is called Donadoni, who has the same name as the former AC Milan star. He was in the old Moratti period. Became a die-hard fan of Inter Milan. I heard that he was so excited to run naked in the yard after Inter Milan won the Triple Crown last year. He used to entertain 'Ivan the Terrible' Zamorano at his home. You can tell who Zamorano is Google it." Shi Hao squinted his eyes, recalling some interesting things after returning to his residence in the past few days.

There is a saying that football is a universal language.Although Shi Hao's Italian is still terrible, with the help of gestures, he can still have a good chat with Donadoni.

"Donadoni is 62 years old, his eldest son is 31 years old, and his 24-year-old daughter has moved out. His wife is 54 years old, with smooth silver hair and an amiable smile on her wrinkled face. smile. Although I am not a fan of Inter Milan, I support my husband very much.”

Shi Hao didn't have much communication with this lovely old lady, but a kind smile and an encouraging look were enough to make him have a good impression of this old lady.

"I live in their son's former room. The room is very tidy and not too small. I live very comfortably. Their home is a bit far from the training base. I get up early every day to drive the car, but these are all fine."

"I have been here for more than a week, and what I am most unaccustomed to is the diet. Now I eat at the club every day, and I eat a standard athlete's diet. Basically, there is no taste at all. It can only be regarded as filling my stomach and replenishing calories. But this I have been mentally prepared for a long time, to be a professional player, this is just the most basic." After writing this, Shi Hao rubbed his stomach.He is still a bit picky eater, so when he encounters these unpalatable foods, he eats less.But the amount of daily training is so large, I always get hungry after a while.

"The climate in Italy is very cold, at least now it is much colder than the current Tsurumi City, and it has snowed three times so far. The weather forecast says that there will be another snowfall before Christmas." Training in the snow is still very interesting , but when the snow falls a bit heavier, the training will be stopped, and the club staff will dispatch to maintain the turf.

"Recently, there seems to be a bit of turmoil in the top management of the club. I heard that due to poor performance, the position of the head coach Benitez is a bit unstable. Of course, these have little to do with me now. First of all, I have to impress the youth training director Rob with my performance. Tor Samaden and technical director Marco Monti signed my professional contract and truly became a member of Inter Milan. After that, I need to consider how to enter the head coach's eye."

"To be honest, the entire youth academy talked about Benitez in private, and the impression was not very good. Benitez was too conservative in using young people. The Brazilian genius Coutinho who transferred this season almost There is no chance to play. He sits in the position of the head coach, and young players hardly get the opportunity to exercise. If he really leaves, it may be a good thing for us. But again, I have to do it myself Just sign the contract."

Shi Hao stared out of the window in a daze, looking at the strange night sky, calculating in his heart how confident he was in signing the contract.

In the past ten days, his various attributes have improved rapidly, especially his physical attributes.The Facchetti Youth Training Center has complete training facilities and a set of effective training methods. Compared with his training in the Shonan University team, it is certainly not the same.

Under-18 coach Voltore Cerrone demands a perfect first touch, vision and technical prowess from his players, which he sees as the core of a player's development.The training program he arranges the most is passing and catching the ball, emphasizing the players' control of the ball at close range.During training, he asked players to only touch the ball once, and to pursue speed and accuracy when passing the ball.Then there are some dribbling drills, where the players are required to dribble through the three triangle cones on the field.

Completing these trainings is already easy for Shi Hao, and his performance far exceeds that of ordinary peers.But he also learned a lot during the training. As a wild player, the training of professional teams gave him a lot of inspiration, allowing him to adjust many details that he didn't usually notice.

"Not much to say, I have to go to bed early and get up early. Dad, Mom, I love you."

After writing the last sentence, Shi Hao saved the email, but did not click to send it.

There are already 4 emails accumulated in the draft box.

The yellow sand wears the golden armor in a hundred battles, and it will not return until it breaks Loulan.Shi Hao decided not to contact his family before signing the contract, not to give himself a chance to complain and complain, and not to leave a way out for himself.
