Gorka came to the Fermelo training base, and he looked no different from the tourists who came here here.
In the crowd, no one noticed him.
He knocked down outside the training ground, among the crowd watching Lazio train.
Just physical training.
Gorka took one look and knew what Lazio was doing.
But unlike the physical training of ordinary teams, Lazio's physical training involves the ball.
No matter what you do, you have to have the ball at your feet.
The fans around him kept chanting the names of certain stars to show their love for the star.
Gorka also enjoyed such treatment when he was in Getafe's youth team.
It's just that the number of people is much smaller.
Among these shouts, he clearly heard the name "José Passarella".
His former backup has now become a superstar.
But Gorka did not feel jealous. After that Champions League final, he had already completely drawn a clear line with his past self.
He just stood on the sidelines and watched the training.
Physical training is boring, even if there is a ball, for those fans.
Everyone still prefers to watch the team play intra-squad training matches.
So it didn't take long for Gorka to lose a lot of people around him.
These people left the training ground and rested under the shade of the trees.
They waited for the training to end, went up to get autographs and took photos with their favorite stars, and then posted them on Twitter and Facebook to show off.
Even the reporters couldn't hold on under the scorching sun. They ran to the shade of the trees to hide in the shade.
Gorka still stood there, looking fascinated.
He is studying, learning how to be a coach, even though he has had two months of internship experience in Spain, Lazio is different.

The morning training was finally over, and the fans and reporters under the shade of the trees became active again. They came up patting their butts and waited at the exit.
Gorka stepped back and waited on the road leading from the training ground to the team's office building.
He is not a fan and will not join in the fun.
He noticed that Chang Sheng also had a considerable fan base. They surrounded Chang Sheng, asking for autographs and photos.
Chang Sheng walked forward while meeting their requests.
He could even sign without looking at the paper, while raising his head and smiling to take a photo with another fan next to him.
It becomes natural with proficiency...
※ ※ ※
After Chang Sheng finally finished dealing with these enthusiastic fans, he walked to his office.
Then he was stopped halfway.
Chang Sheng thought it was another fan who wanted autographs or photos, so he didn't refuse. He waited for them to hand over pen and paper.
But the other party didn't do this.
So he looked at the person in front of him with some surprise.
An unknown stranger was looking at me blankly.
So he had to take the initiative to ask: "I'm sorry, what can I do for you?"
※ ※ ※
"Sorry", "please"!
When Gorka heard this sentence, he was in a daze. This was the first time that he spoke to him so politely...
He still remembers the first time the two met. He was ten minutes late for training. Then he was kicked out of the training ground by Chang Sheng...
If I had not been late, if I had been obedient...wouldn't the things that happened in the future have happened?
However, this kind of politeness shows that Chang Sheng no longer recognizes himself at all.
yes……
How could an unknown person from eleven years ago be remembered?
And there are indeed some changes in my current appearance from before.
Gorka realized that he should introduce himself first.
So he said: "Um...Mr. Chang, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gorka Alonso Basel...I..."
While Gorka was introducing himself, his expression changed when he saw Chang Sheng across from him.
He looked at himself with wide eyes and some surprise.
Then he asked: "Your name is Gorka Alonso Basel?"
"Yes. I am Gorka Alonso Basel..." Gorka seemed very polite.
Chang Sheng stopped talking and looked up and down at the young man in front of him again.
Then he shook his head and smacked his lips: "Tsk tsk, the change is so drastic, I can't recognize it at all... If you didn't introduce yourself, I wouldn't even know you were the 'young genius'..."
The word "young genius" sounded a bit harsh to Gorka. If he had been ridiculed so nakedly eleven years ago, he would have punched him, but now he just showed an awkward smile on his face.
.
Chang Sheng was very interested in Gorka's reaction. After carefully appreciating Gorka's embarrassment, he continued to ask: "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
His tone was no longer as polite as before.
Unexpectedly, this impolite tone made Gorka relax.
He felt that this was the normal tone for Chang Sheng to speak to him.
"I would like to ask you to give me a job." Chang Sheng said without politeness, but Gorka said politely.
Chang Sheng smiled: "We don't need players anymore. The recruitment work for this season has ended. And... you don't meet our requirements..."
There was sarcasm in his tone.
But Gorka still showed no sign of being unhappy.
He lowered his head and said: "I know, so I'm not here to be a player..."
Chang Sheng was a little surprised: "We don't need turf maintenance workers or gatekeepers."
He noticed that Gorka's lowered hands were clenched, but soon they were loosened again and continued to hang weakly.
"I want to be a coach," Gorka said.
"You?" There was obvious disdain in Chang Sheng's tone.
"Yes, I studied and obtained the C-level coaching certificate two months ago. So I am now a qualified coach. I hope you can give me a chance." Gorka said humbly.
"Why should I give you a chance?" Chang Sheng simply crossed his arms and asked with interest.
"Because..." Gorka lowered his eyelids and started to speak, but he didn't know what to say next.
Yes, why would people give themselves this opportunity?
The relationship between Chang Sheng and himself is definitely not a good one.
He just stood there, at a loss.
Chang Sheng sneered. He turned around and walked around Gorka: "Goodbye, young genius."
He waved his hand.
Seeing that the opportunity was about to slip away from him, Gorka couldn't care about anything else. He turned around and called Chang Sheng: "Wait!"
Chang Sheng didn't look back and didn't stop walking. He just waved his hand: "Why should I wait?"
"Because... because I want to make up for the mistakes I made in the past!" Gorka said loudly. "I regret it very much. I was young, ignorant, impulsive and willful. So I have ended up like this. But... my life and...
My career is relatively long. I have already made a mistake when I was young, and I don’t want to make a second mistake. I hope you can give me a chance to correct the mistakes I made in the past!”
Chang Sheng finally stopped. He turned around and looked at Gorka.
"What mistake did you make?" he asked.
Gorka hesitated and said: "I... I fully realized my problem. I never took football seriously... I thought I could become a star casually with my talent. But I was wrong.
Yeah... So coach, please give me a chance. I retired very early because I couldn't adapt to the intense professional football. Then I worked many jobs, gas stations, restaurants... I did them all. But everything
I can't work for long. It wasn't until I went to watch your Champions League final at the Bernabeu that I discovered that I still like football. I want to make something that I can like... So please, coach, please
Give me a chance, give me a chance to start over..."
Chang Sheng looked at Gorka again. This was the third time he looked at Gorka today, but it was different from before. This time he paid more attention to Gorka's mental temperament.
It can be seen that Gorka has gone through a lot of things.
Eleven years ago, when I met him, he was seventeen years old, and now he is twenty-eight years old.
Completely different from the image of a high-spirited genius back then, he now appears low-key and restrained, and his voice is not as loud or deep as before.
Just from these characteristics, Chang Sheng can be judged that he is indeed a person who has suffered many setbacks.
Many stories have happened to him in these eleven years.
Chang Sheng believed everything he said.
Because with his physical fitness and talent, he really can't play professional football.
And it fits his future memory.
He has never heard of such a person in the international football world.
He thought again that he had been irritating him with words before, but this kid didn't even get angry.
He does look much more mature.
It is difficult for a person to be immature when he encounters repeated setbacks in his twenties.
He really needs coaches, and the more coaches he has, the better. When he was playing FM, the first thing he did was not to buy or sell players, but to terminate all the club's original coaches, and then go around to dig up all kinds of awesome coaches.
He attaches great importance to training.
So he doesn’t have too many coaches.
The only question is, can Gorka be a good coach?
He can use training skills to improve the players' abilities, but his training skills have no effect on the players.
Should we give him a chance?
Chang Sheng looked at Gorka's desolate look and suddenly felt pity. In any case, he had his own "contribution" for today.
Giving people hope is better than the seven-level pagoda...
Throw him into Stramaccioni's youth training camp to be a youth training coach. Whether he can make it out or not has nothing to do with him.
I am only responsible for giving him a chance, but I am not responsible for sending the Buddha to the West.
Wait a year and then see the results of his work. If it doesn't work, then terminate the contract with him.
So Chang Sheng nodded: "Okay, I will give you a one-year internship contract, and you will be the coach of the youth team. I will start with my ugly words. If you can't prove that you are an excellent coach in one year, I will
If I let you leave, your next story will have nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Gorka finally showed a smile on his face, and he nodded vigorously: "I have already missed one opportunity, and I will not miss a second chance, coach!"
Seeing him cheering for joy, Chang Sheng thought to himself that after having a child, his heart became much softer...
