"This season, I think the focus of our competition is not the Italian Cup and the UEFA Cup... Mr. Sanz, I just want to say that the prize money for these two championships is too small, the total prize money is less than 10 million
, it’s really a bit small, it’s hard for the team to get interested with such a small amount of money, and I don’t think it’s necessary.”
"After all, he is a champion." Sanz said, "My personal opinion is that it is best to put a little effort into these two cups. You don't have to worry about money. Although I am not rich, I can't
You are considered a poor person. As long as you don’t want to buy the world’s top players, I will never let you lack money. However, my request is honor. I personally hope that the team can have more honors. I am talking to my friends.
I am happier now, can you satisfy me with this request?"
Li Bin was silent - in the second half of the season, there will be a lot of cup matches. If every game is really played, it will be a dozen extra games out of thin air. Four games in a month.
Compared with playing eight games a month, no matter how good the team is, it will not be able to sustain such a difference in pace.
"You should consider these issues yourself, I won't force you. But you should also understand that next season we will play in the Champions League. When playing in the Champions League, many teams died from lack of experience. The so-called experience
, to put it bluntly, it is how to maintain the team's ability to operate on two fronts without encountering various crises. This season, we can lose, but next season we cannot lose. Should we accumulate some experience while we can lose?
What? This question is your question. Think about it carefully and give me an answer, how about?"
Sanz's words really moved Li Bin this time. This boss's knowledge was indeed outstanding.
"Okay, I won't say any more. This is the time when the party is your celebration. If you should celebrate, go and celebrate. Have fun. You can answer my questions slowly. I have a hunch that our
Cooperation will be very long.”
----------------------------------
The party is still going on, and in the corner of the crowd, Wanqi is holding a wine glass in his hand, listening to Esposito's drunken talk next to him, with a somewhat joking smile on his face, looking at some who have drunk too much
The crowd chatted with him without saying a word.
He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp. Esposito's face was now full of smiles, "The happiest time for me every year is during Christmas."
"Oh, why?"
"Every year at this time, we old friends will go to celebrate together. You should know that in the past, we were coaches. Sometimes, Li would run around, and the same was true for Martins.
There are a lot of things, they are responsible for transfers, and there are youth training schools around the world who rarely come back. It is only at this time that we can get together. Generally speaking, at Christmas, Nadia and Ma
Betsy, Dings’s former wife, would cook a table of dishes for us, and then we would get a few bottles of good wine and experience the delicacies from various places. Christmas is the most relaxing time for us every year, and this is also the time when we are most relaxed.
Indeed, it makes me feel happy." Esposito and Wanqi talked, "Last year, there were a lot of things, and Martins had just divorced, so there was nothing to celebrate. This year, we have to have fun anyway.
"
When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, "I said, can you cook? If you can cook, how about coming to spend Christmas with us?"
"Lorenzo, your question is really strange." After hearing what he said, Wan Qi couldn't help but speak, "We are friends, right? It sounds like you are looking for a cook, why does it sound like I don't know how to cook?
If I don’t eat, I can’t spend Christmas with you?”
"No, of course it's possible, but..." Esposito scratched his head, "That's right. Usually, when we are together, it's just a few men talking nonsense together, about football, women, politics, everything.
To put it bluntly, women rarely participate in our topics. I don’t think you will be interested in our topics.”
Wan Qi smiled and shrugged, "Who knows, maybe I'm interested in your topic?"
"Who is running on behalf of the left this year? Who are his main supporters?" Esposito asked immediately. Wanqi thought hard and shook his head, "Only you Italians can relate to these words.
Well, Lao Li definitely doesn't care about this."
"Actually, he knows better than me, and I don't know why, but he is particularly enthusiastic about these things this year." Esposito replied, "But it doesn't matter, you can go. Normally,
A few of us chatted together, and Li stopped cooking. This time, no matter what, we can force him to go to the kitchen..."
"He can cook?" Wan Qi asked in surprise.
"He does know how to cook, and he does it well. He is a glutton himself. He always thinks that Italian rice is not to his liking, so he cooks for himself." Borg walked over and spoke.
said.
"That's right, that's why I asked you if you know how to cook. I think Chinese people should know how to cook. So that's not racial discrimination, right?"
Wan Qi smiled, this guy...
"Don't pay too much attention," Borg said at the side, "He drank too much. And as you know, Lorenzo is a player. When he was playing football, he ate nutritious meals. As a result, after he retired,
, is very persistent in food, in this regard, he is more stubborn than anyone else."
"I don't care. It's not like I can't tell if there is any malice. But, he used to eat those nutritious meals you made? It's really no wonder..."
"The nutritious meals of every team in the world all have the same taste, and they all taste like pig food." Borg shrugged and said, "There are too many unpalatable ingredients. How can we make pig food taste good?"
."
"I think it can be improved. In fact, the combination of nutrition and diet has always been a direction that I have prepared to study, and it can be improved by combining some Chinese cooking methods." Wan Qi immediately answered, "You
You know, the cooking principles of Chinese food and other foreign dishes are different. Europeans eat umami. To be honest, you
The food we eat is always inedible. The Japanese people pay attention to raw materials when cooking, but they are a little bit worse. The only country that can make delicious food without caring about raw materials is China. Therefore, I also thought about learning from domestic cooking methods.
, so that we can cook better things - of course, it doesn’t have to be too good, it just doesn’t taste like pig food.”
"Have you told Li about your research direction?"
"No, he is a very dull person when it comes to football. I find it difficult for him to accept new things."
"It's really hard to convince him..."
"Wait, you mean, you can cook? And you have studied some?" Esposito interrupted her, "You should have told me earlier that you could cook. If I had known this earlier, I would have definitely
I'll ask Li to ask you out."
"Let him ask me out instead of you asking me out? What you say sounds really awkward."
"If it were me who asked a woman out, she would definitely blow it off after only a few times. But if it was Li, then he could deceive the woman for a long time. In total, I can get two more meals."
"What a witty young man..." Wan Qi was speechless for a while, but he just replied with a smile on his face, "Go find a cook yourself."
"But at least let us see how your cooking skills are first." Borg smiled and said, "At least, this matter is also related to your research direction."
"Then just watch, I will definitely not let you down."
----------------------------------------
"Li, the food she cooks is much more delicious than yours." Putting down his rice bowl, Esposito spoke, "The food you cook is not as delicious at all."
"Next time I cook, you don't have to come to eat. I didn't invite you."
Li Bin didn't expect that Wanqi could cook so well.
When the coaching staff got together, they not only invited Wan Qi, but also Li Siman, Martins and others. Everyone resumed their old habits and spent Christmas together - in fact, Li Bin never liked Christmas.
However, if there was an opportunity to get together, he would not object - of course, it would have been better if he had thought about how embarrassing Esposito would be in advance.
Esposito obviously would not be knocked down by such words. Instead, he turned his head to Borg, "Let's let her study nutritious meals and give her the meals at the base. Then I can rest assured."
"You're such a foodie." Li Bin rolled his eyes at him, "But I didn't realize that Wanqi's cooking skills are really good."
"What really surprises me is the completeness of the ingredients you have here. I have been here for a year and I have never seen many things. Where did you buy them?"
Li Bin smiled and changed the topic, "Sometimes I really think you are a monster. To be honest, your acupuncturist qualifications have already made me suspicious to a large extent, and now you actually know how to cook."
Already..."
"The qualification of an acupuncturist is recognized internationally and is regarded as the qualification of a nurse. I didn't make it up myself. The issue of dietary supplements is common in all medicines. What kind of nonsense is this? You are also worshiping foreigners, right? That's right.
Don’t you believe anything in Chinese things?”
"I am not a fan of foreigners, but when it comes to football, foreigners are indeed more technologically advanced than the Chinese. It is not advisable not to agree with other people's advanced things. They always think that their own mystified things are better. This is not acceptable.
I have always been interested in the secret recipe, the secret
Technology is all about an attitude - any knowledge is advanced through communication, and good things cannot be made behind closed doors." Li Bin shook his head, "If you want to do research, do it first, anyway, we have plenty of funds now...
…But don’t put it into use yet.”
"You still can't trust me." Wan Qi glanced at Li Bin provocatively.
Li Bin shook his head, "Our tasks are very tight now. In the second half of the season, I have decided to let the team fight on the third line. If I change the recipe without authorization when fighting on the third line, I am afraid that there will be injury problems."
His words attracted more attention than the food he ate.
"Why are we playing in the third tier? Didn't you say we don't want the cup competition?" Esposito asked rhetorically.
"Exercise the team's ability to fight on multiple fronts - don't forget, we will play in the Champions League next season. It is better to be in a panic this season than to be caught off guard next season."
"That mission is much more intense..." Esposito also nodded, "What prompted you to change your mind? I'm curious."
"Nothing, just someone told me that playing on the third line is better for the team. I thought this was a lot of words, so I listened. In fact, during these days, I found that there are really many smart people around me.
, are all able to give me good advice. It’s really a good thing to listen to other people’s advice.”
When Li Bin was talking, he looked at Wan Qi. Wan Qi also raised his glass and nodded it in a tacit understanding - of course she knew that he was thanking her for this.
