Chapter 39 Entering the first team
"Goethe, the mission mode you created is really good. Do you know? I won the opponent in today's game, and it feels so good!" That night, Lu Hao entered the training base and boasted to Goethe excitedly.
"Dear Lu, you won the game in reality, but you lost here. You must understand that this task mode is to let you learn more. You cannot depend on it..." Goethe saw Lu Hao's high interest and was worried that he would depend on the task, so he taught again.
"I know. Football is round, and everything on the court can happen. Right? Hehe, don't worry, my concentration is very strong!" Lu Hao interrupted Goethe's teaching indifferently.
"Uh... Okay, start today's training." Goethe hesitated for a while, and finally held back and let Lu Hao start today's training.
...
Time flies very quickly, and January is coming in the blink of an eye. On New Year's Day, Zhou Xiao came to the training ground as usual. But what surprised him was that Lu Hao was not on the training ground.
At this time, Scotti saw Zhou Xiao and said hello loudly: "Hi, Zhou, are you here to watch Lu's training again? Yesterday Lu received a call from the head coach of the first team. Lu is really lucky. He got the opportunity to enter the first team not long after he joined the team."
Since Zhou Xiao often comes to the training ground to collect Lu Hao's training situation, Scotti, an Italian young man with the best relationship with Lu Hao, also gets along well with Zhou Xiao.
Zhou Xiao was stunned at first, then smiled and shouted at Scotti: "Scotti, Lu Hao has entered the first team training. Don't be lazy, you kid, work harder and take Lu Hao's position. I have absolutely no objection. Haha."
Scotty grimaced with a smile: "I don't dare. If I really grab Lu's location, you must fight to the death."
"Haha, you know what you know." Zhou Xiao waved to Sgoti and shouted: "Since Lu Hao is going to participate in the training of the first team, I'm going there too. Come on, boy."
...
When Zhou Xiao came to the training ground of the first team in Fiorentina, he saw Lu Hao training under the leadership of his assistant coach.
"Xiao Lu looks in good spirits. On January 6, he may be able to appear at Frankie Stadium as a substitute." Zhou Xiao looked at Lu Hao who was training with a little proud.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xiao saw the figures of well-known stars such as Gomez, Chiesa, and Dilivio on the training ground. Zhou Xiao was a little excited to see these well-known stars with his own eyes.
"This is Lu Hao's future teammate. Lu Hao is really lucky to be able to play with these stars." Zhou Xiao found that he was a little envious of Lu Hao. He loved football and had been determined to become a professional player since he was a child and could play with world-renowned stars. Unfortunately, he did not have enough qualifications, so he had to settle for the second best, apply for the journalism major, and be determined to interview all the stars in the world.
Just when Zhou Xiao secretly envied Lu Hao, the fans who gathered outside the training ground to watch the training of Fiorentine players burst into shouts.
"Long live Florence, the purple lily will never wither!"
"Gomez, let those who are Peruga know how powerful you are in the next game!"
"Chiesa, your injury will be cured quickly. Florence needs you to save it!"
“…”
Zhou Xiao heard the fans cheering for the players and sighed in his heart: "From the 11th round of the league to now, only one victory has been won in the five league rounds, and Fiorentina's prospects are worrying. I don't know if the next match against Peruga will be. Mancini dares to send Lu Hao to the starter.
At this time, Zhou Xiao was surprised to hear that the fans not only cheered for the original players, but also cheered for Lu Hao. This discovery made him very excited.
"Chinese boy, you are the future of Florence. We support you!"
"Hey, Chinese boy, other teams are nothing great. We look forward to your appearance!"
"Yes, as long as Mr. Mancini lets you play, we will definitely cheer for you!"
...
The cheers of loyal fans of Fiorentina outside the training ground made Lu Hao both nervous and excited. What was nervous was whether he would not perform well enough if he really could play in the next game. What was excited was that the enthusiasm of these fans actually made him feel eager to try.
"Uh, it should be no problem." Lu Hao said in his heart without confidence. He didn't know whether he was saying that he was fine if he played in the next game, or whether he was saying that he was in a state to deal with the game.
In this way, Lu Hao ended his first first-team training amid the shouts of the fans. He wiped his sweat while walking towards the training ground.
At this time, Diamanti ran to Lu Hao with sweat, and muttered in a low voice: "Hey, Lu, were you a little nervous during training just now? I was so nervous that I didn't even dare to say anything. Oh my God, Costa, Chiesa, God, I'm really training with them, not dreaming!"
Lu Hao hugged Diamanti, hooked his right hand against his neck, and grimaced at him teasingly: "Diamanti, I'm not nervous at all. On the contrary, I even hope that I can start in the next game. I will let these fans who support us know that we Fiorentina will never fall because of this difficulty!"
"It's right, a genius boy from China." Suddenly, a voice interrupted the conversation between Lu Hao and Diamanti.
Hearing someone talking beside him, the two of them stood up and looked at the person who was talking. At this time, Diamanti shouted happily: "Hey, Lu, have you seen that Captain Dilivio is talking to us."
It’s a pseudo-fan, and he knows the names of all Serie A clubs, but only a few of them know about the stars. He was not surprised when he heard Dilivio’s name, but just smiled and greeted the Fiorentine captain shyly.
"Hello, Chinese boy, my name is Angelo Dilivio." The Florence captain stretched out his hand to Lu Hao in a friendly manner: "I heard Mr. Mancini mention you not long ago. You are a promising future star. When I heard you just now, I think we are the same type of people."
Looking at the smile on Dilivio's face, Lu Hao quickly reached out and held the hand that Dilivio handed over: "My name is Lu Hao, I'm very happy to know you."
"My name is Alexandro Diamanti. Captain, you have always been my idol. I am very happy to be your teammate." Diamanti couldn't wait to reach out to Dilivio when he saw his idol.
"I'm also very happy to have you, a young teammate." Dilivio shook hands with Diamanti with a smile. Dilivio's friendliness made Diamanti jump and jump excitedly.
"Hey, Lu, did you see it? Dilivio shook hands with me. It was amazing. Today I decided not to wash my hands and wash it tomorrow. I want to feel it."
"Diamanti, you are so disgusting. Until you wash your hands tomorrow, don't touch my jersey." Lu Hao took a big step to the side and stayed away from Diamanti to show that he and this guy who decided to wash his hands tomorrow were not the same type of people.
"Lu." Diamanti suddenly screamed strangely, rushed to Lu Hao's side, and wrapped his thick arms around Lu Hao's neck: "You really disappointed me. We are close friends."
Lu Hao rolled his eyes by Diamanti. But his body is not as strong as Diamanti, so he had to beg for mercy: "I'm sorry, Diamanti, I shouldn't say those words."
Diamanti heard Lu Hao begging for mercy and then proudly let go of his arm. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Hao escaped, he immediately added: "Diamanti, I mean you are not too disgusting, but very disgusting."
"Lu, I have to teach you a lesson today!" Diamanti found out that he had been fooled, and screamed so strangely that he wanted to strangle Lu Hao's neck again and teach him a lesson.
It’s a pity that Lu Hao was smart and ran away immediately after saying that. While running, he turned around and shook his eyes at Diamanti and made faces. Diamanti was so angry that he screamed while chasing Lu Hao, "Lu, don’t run, let you know how powerful I, Diamanti, today!"
"I'll talk about it when you chase me. But I don't think you can have that possibility." Lu Hao teased Diamanti pridefully, and at the same time, his feet were not slow, and he always kept a certain distance from Diamanti.
Dilivio looked at the two young men playing on the training ground and felt very relieved: "Florence is just in need of energetic young men like you. Lu, Diamanti, the future of Florence will be in your hands."
Not only Dilivio had this idea, but other old players saw Lu Hao and Diamanti chasing and fighting on the training ground without any worries. The shadows left in their hearts disappeared without realizing it.
"I, Gomez, are not an old man, how could I lose to these two young men? In the next game, Perugus and Fiorentina's glory will step on your bodies and rise again." Gomez suddenly felt that he was full of vitality, as if winning the next game was no longer a dream.
"Haha, these two kids, I, Chiesa, will not lose to you. Damn, when will I want to leave me with my abominable leg injury? I want to return to the arena as soon as possible and play with these interesting kids." Chiesa looked at Diamanti and Lu Hao who were still chasing endlessly, and tried to move the injured right leg.
Fans outside the training ground cheered again when they saw the two's energetic performance.
"Young man, that's it. The proud purple lily should be like this!"
"The great Florence is always full of vitality, just like you. Come on, the never-dead purple lily!"
"Hey, Gomez, Chiesa, don't look depressed. Look at these young people, how energetic they are!"
“…”
At the same time, after a brief conversation with the assistant coach, Mancini watched Lu Hao and Diamanti play vigorously on the training ground with interest.
"This is the result I want. Let the young people set an example for the players with low fighting spirit and change the atmosphere in the team. With such vitality, Fiorentina will never be relegated. We still have time." Mancini comfortedly imagined the prospect of Fiorentina uniting in the rest of the season and working together to get out of the relegation zone.
After a while, Mancini began to think about the next game's roster: "Maybe I should let these two young men start. Their performance may be the key to curbing the team's losing streak."
