Chapter 80 Heading to U20
The Nerazzurri U20 head coach Gianmario Cody looked at Shi Hao, his brown eyes were full of seriousness, and he spoke slowly: "Mr. Chinese kid, I don’t care who recommended you, once you get to my territory, you have to impress me with your best training status, otherwise you’ll go back where you came from, you hear me?”

Shi Hao listened to what he said, and nodded in response: "Good sir."

If this serious bearded man could understand Chinese, he would have said a few more words, patted his chest and made a statement.It's a pity that his Italian is just getting started, so in order to avoid mistakes, he had to be concise.

Cody waved his hand, as if to chase away an annoying fly: "Go to the training ground and join your teammates."

Shi Hao left Cody's office disheartened, and walked to the locker room of the U20 echelon that he had inquired about in advance.

Because of the color of his skin, many people at the club will have a serious prejudice when they see him at first sight.Such as "Chinese can also play football?"

He is used to these contemptuous and distrustful eyes, and these stereotypes cannot be changed overnight.

All he can do is to perform his best on the training ground, at least to let everyone know that "this Chinese kid really knows how to play football."

There are already several people in the locker room.There wasn't a single familiar face, but Shi Hao still greeted in blunt Italian: "Hi everyone, I'm new here, my name is Shi Hao, nice to meet you."

Those people turned around together, looked at Shi Hao for a while, then exchanged a few words quickly, and laughed together.

Shi Hao didn't quite understand, but judging from their expressions, there shouldn't be any insult, at most they looked down upon them.

After they laughed for a while, a lean black guy who was about the same height as Shi Hao put down the clothes in his hand, took two steps forward and extended his hand to Shi Hao: "Hi, I'm Diam, we are all guessing What country are you from? Korean? RB?"

Just like the routines in many novels, Shi Hao has become accustomed to this kind of silent discrimination.In Europe, most people think that among East Asians, only Koreans and RB people can play football.As for the Chinese, God, don't the Chinese play table tennis?

"I'm Chinese, and my name is Shi Hao."

"Well... well, your name is really difficult to pronounce." Diam grinned, showing his snow-white teeth, "Let me introduce you, this is Bessa, the blonde is Carlson, and Kernas Mullna. Well, his name is also hard to pronounce, say it after me, k-na-s-mu-r-na."

The teammates burst into laughter.Shi Hao nodded to everyone, then found an empty cabinet and began to change clothes.

When he came to the training ground, Shi Hao looked around, but he did not see the 18-year-old Brazilian genius Coutinho who transferred to Inter Milan this year. He was probably training with the first team, which made Shi Hao A burst of envy.He really believes that his strength is not inferior to Coutinho, all he needs is a chance to show himself.

But he quickly put away this emotion.Camp Facchetti is not far from the Pinetina training base of the first team, and it only takes about ten minutes to drive.But for most players who came from Inter Milan's youth training camp, this distance is a natural barrier. They will never be able to train with the first team in Pinettina for the rest of their lives.

As for Shi Hao himself, he hasn't even obtained a professional contract yet, so it's better to focus on the present for the time being.

When gathering, the assistant coach Vincenzo Souza briefly introduced Shi Hao, and asked captain Luca Caldirola to help Shi Hao integrate into the team as soon as possible.

Caldirola is a tall, silent and strong man, half a head taller than Shi Hao, with a typical Italian sculpture-like face.

I didn't introduce the other teammates one by one. I can only wait for Shi Hao to get familiar with them.

The training session in the morning is mainly technical and tactical training, which is not much different from the U18 echelon.

The tactics class is in charge of the head coach Cody himself, and Shi Hao only knows a little about it, and can only figure it out by observing other people's actions.

The technical classes were in charge of several other coaches, and Shi Hao wrote down their names: Danili Bonazzzoli, Salvatore Koneni, Luca Facchetti, Antonello Sa Thor, Sergio Zanetti.

In addition, there is Mr. Court, whom Shi Hao is familiar with. Shi Hao has been keeping in touch with him since he came to Inter Milan.

But in training, he was not so friendly, he kept his face sullen, and anyone who made a mistake would be reprimanded loudly.

As for Mr. Belgomi, another youth training coach that Shi Hao is familiar with, he is not in the U20 echelon.

The training in the afternoon is mainly about physical training, under the charge of fitness coach Robert Nicolai.Shi Hao's performance was not as good as in the morning. Although his physical dexterity and flexibility were not bad, and his speed was relatively fast in the team, his physical fitness and physical confrontation ability were flawed.

In the end, a 45-minute intra-team match was held, and the teams were randomly divided into groups, and they were not assigned according to the lists of the main and substitute groups.Shi Hao broke through and scored 1 goal with his personal ability, and had many wonderful dribbles, but he had little interaction with his teammates.His passing was sometimes very subtle, but his teammates did not understand his intentions; and he was not familiar with the passing routes of his teammates, which made him almost out of the tactical system.

After the training, the players left, and the coaching staff of the U20 echelon held a short meeting as usual to discuss the gains and losses in the training and their impressions of the young players.

"That new Chinese kid, tell me what you think." Cody said.

Bonazzoli recalled: "The technique is very skilled, and he is very prominent in the team. There are some bad habits that can be corrected."

Zanetti said: "There is a big problem with defensive awareness. If he is on the court, we are equivalent to one less defensive man."

Nicolai added: "Physical fitness is a problem. I doubt whether he can play a full 90-minute game. The confrontation ability is very poor, worse than Bessa."

Everyone smiled knowingly.Daniel Bessa is a Brazilian player. He is 17 years old this year and has just made an exception for the U20 echelon.He has always been known in the team for his good skills and poor confrontation ability.

Court remained silent for a while before saying: "His progress is very fast."

Cody looked at Court unexpectedly: "Why do you say that?"

Court said with a straight face: "Everyone knows that I discovered him in China in August. At that time, I observed that his ability should barely gain a foothold in the U8 echelon. Physical confrontation ability, speed, etc. are much worse than now. But now everyone can see his performance, it can be said that his ability has improved by leaps and bounds in the past four months."

Cody nodded: "Continue to observe. Nicolai, pay attention to record his physical data these days." This is the focus of investigating Shi Hao.

As a professional player, technical ability is only one aspect, and physical fitness is also very important.

Whether a person is suitable to be a professional athlete is only one aspect of his innate physical fitness, and whether he can improve rapidly through training is also an important inspection item-this is the so-called "training potential".

　Today's update is late, explain a few words.In the past few days, I have been working overtime and have no time to write, so I have used up the saved manuscripts.I worked a 24-hour shift yesterday, and I didn’t close my eyes at night. I had a meeting this morning until 12 o’clock, and I fell asleep when I got home. I woke up at 7 o’clock.There will be 24-hour shifts tomorrow, and Shitou has to hurry to write tomorrow's chapter now.Again, Stone will do its best to ensure continuous updates, but the update time is sometimes really impossible to guarantee.
