Chapter Eleven Knows All
"Luca, tell me what you know about the new coach." The reporter was obviously going to break through from Cardirola.
"Coach Yang is a veteran who has achieved many honors and I believe we will succeed under his leadership."
"As you said, Coach Yang has won the League Cup twice, the Champions League runner-up once, and recently won the fourth place in the Olympics. Don't you think he is a bit useless in leading the youth team...?" This question is a chain of questions with the previous one, just like two consecutive days on the court.
As a central defender, Cardirola is obviously prepared: "This is the team's choice, and I think it is also the choice of Coach Yang." As he said that, he looked at Master Yang, and saw Master Yang smile and nodding at him. "As for whether it is a slut... I don't know." Cardirola directly used the "Don't Know" ultimate move, which is the same as the effect of the defender's big foot pulling out of bounds.
The reporter below seemed not satisfied with the answer. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, Master Yang took over the topic and used standard Italian.
"Thanks to this media friend for his love just now. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. The coach of the youth team is also a coach. Everyone knows that I have a lion dance football school, and I have always liked to be with the children. Compared with adult players, they are more malleable and have greater potential, and leading them to success also makes people feel more accomplished. More importantly, they all have their own dreams and ambitions. I hope they will never forget their original dreams."
Dream? Cardirola was silently reciting in his heart. What is my dream? It is to enter the first team of Inter Milan, become the main player of the central defender, compete with Matrazi and Zanetti, and stand at the highest peak of Europe? There are many dreams, but in the final analysis, it is to become a great player.
The reporter did not give up because "the youth team has ambition and dreams" came to become the king of children. Such an answer was too perfunctory. The reporter who got the ball rights chose to break through to Mr. Yang.
"So Coach Yang, how long are you going to stay in the youth team, one year or two years or just a few months?"
Paulillo's face twitched. After the opening scene, the press conference went straight to the rhythm of bayonets. He was not at all the turn to speak, and the reporters ignored him at all.
"Time is not a question I have to care about, what I care about is honor." Mr. Yang shook his fingers, and the reporters stared at his mouth almost intently. "Let's talk about something practical. The youth team has two championships for us to fight for, one is the Carnival Cup and the other is the U19 Champions League. Only when I win the championships for these two competitions can I consider the future."
The reporters in the audience were in an uproar, and there was too much information contained in it. The reporters who were not familiar with the youth team competition quickly flipped through the information of the two events and looked for the time.
Piki changed to a reporter who asked a question. There were too many questions from this reporter of "Milan Sports".
A Chinese reporter stood up: "Coach Yang, my original question is, what will your contract with the national team be handled? But now I have to ask another question: What do you mean is that there will be new changes after you get these two championships?"
Even Master Yang couldn't help but twitch. The media's surprisingly united front today is about to dig into the bottom line.
"Well, about the latter question, you know... there are so many changes in the future. This topic will end like this. You can pay more attention to the youth team's game, and maybe you can find the answer from it. Regarding my contract with the Chinese team, I can reveal it here and continue to execute it. The Chinese team's goal is to qualify in the 2010 World Cup. This is an Inter Milan press conference, and this topic ends here."
Master Yang blocked the topic and the reporters began to change the direction of the attack.
"Mr. Paulillo, does signing Chairman Morati this time have any deep meaning?"
"This...of course not. Inter Milan has always attached great importance to youth training, so this time being able to invite coach Yang is considered a consideration for the long-term." Paulillo is worthy of being an old man and his words are extremely sleek.
"Can you easily reveal Coach Yang's salary?"
"This is not convenient to disclose for the time being."
"Coach Yang, can you tell me the difference between this salary and the previous one in Newcastle? Just say it is high or low." Everyone knows the annual salary of Mr. Yang in Newcastle.
"Of course it's not as high as that time. This is a very common truth. You can earn as much as you want in any position. If I get a high annual salary, what do you think of the youth training coaches in other clubs? How unfair."
"There are rumors that Chairman Morati is dissatisfied with the team's recent performance. Is this true?"
"It is normal for the team's performance to go ups and downs. I believe the team will get back on track soon."
"Is it considered a pressure on Mancini by signing Coach Yang? Will this cause internal riots?"
As CEO, Paulillo cannot be confused: "Both coaches have their own responsibilities, and the club fully supports Coach Mancini's work. This is not a pressure on him, but for the team to be better."
Speaking of this, the reporter cannot ask too explicitly. This is called "see through but not tell the truth, friends continue to do it."
At the end of the press conference, Piki took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his head. He had experienced any big transfer of stars, but a collective and aggressive scene of media like this is extremely rare. Thank God, I finally got through it. However, Piki thought about it and thought that what happened next would still cause him a headache, and the youth team is no longer a place where no one pays attention.
Sure enough, the number of reporters who requested to interview Mr. Yang's first training class instantly increased by more than 500. How many security personnel should be assigned to maintain order like this? Piki's head started to hurt again.
As Cardilola said, there was no big opinion on the change of coaches, Inter Milan youth team did not have much opinion on the matter of coaches and players. The personnel movement was normal, and Mr. Yang did not move any of the coaching staff, and the original team was retained.
But no matter how much you have no objection, there are still whispers within the team. Of course, the focus is on the question of the difference between a foreigner and the original coach.
After dealing with the media's noisy foreplay, on Monday in the second week of October, Mr. Yang finally stood on the turf of the Pinetina training base. He was surrounded by Paulillo and assistant coach Antonio Manicone, as well as members of the coaching staff - goalkeeper coach: Pirlo Antonio Posagria, physical coach: Stefano Lapeti, team doctor: Santamaria Paulillo, physical therapist: Me Mateo, equipment manager: David Agio. Before that, the club had conducted preliminary communication with the remaining coaching staff members, paving the way for Mr. Yang to integrate.
The young players on the training ground kept their smiles on their faces and looked at their new coach, Mr. Yang. These players also knew that the hundreds of reporters around them were not coming for them through barbed wire.
"Hello everyone, everyone. My name is Mr. Yang, I am from China." A very ordinary opening remark, but the fluent Italian language still makes the players' eyes look surprised.
"I just arrived not long ago, but my memory is pretty good. I'll see if I can call out all your names. How about it?"
Paulillo and Manico were shocked. More than 20 people kept all their names in their backs. It was impossible? The key was to recognize how difficult it was to recognize human faces? Anyway, Paulillo felt that he could not do it. The Chinese looked similar, so he could only distinguish between men and women. The players also laughed and looked at each other and felt incredible. At this time, Mr. Yang had slowly walked to the front of the team.
"Luca, young man, do it well." Mr. Yang patted Caldillola on the shoulder and walked towards the next player.
"Esposito, left back, seems to be able to play left forward, which is great." Shaking hands and patted the shoulder.
"Krissettigue, a versatile midfielder. I'm optimistic about you. Come on!" Shake hands and patted the shoulder.
"Donati, right back, you have to use your physical strength to play." Shake hands and pat your shoulders.
"Destero, the top scorer, come on, perform well, I recommend you to the first team."
"Tremorada, winger, good skills. If you practice crossing well, it will be even better."
"Longo, I like your calmness in the penalty area."
...
At first, the players were still watching the fun. Everyone was guessing how many people Mr. Yang could remember? After a few people passed, everyone's smiles disappeared. The coach was serious. Not only could he remember each of them, but he also knew where they were playing, and his expertise.
More than a dozen people passed, and Paulillo and Manicone's expressions began to become solemn. What does this mean? Mr. Yang took his heart, and he was working hard to integrate into this team and understand the team. The coach did not regard himself as a passerby, and Inter Milan's u19 was not a springboard.
At this time, the reporters on the sidelines gradually understood the situation inside the field.
"What I just heard was that he read the player's name, position, and specialties."
"So many people, I'll read it one by one? No, can I remember it?" A white-skinned reporter sighed with emotion holding the camera.
"I don't think it's possible, but he's doing it." Another white reporter said helplessly, and then murmured: "Is it possible that this Chinese person has given us less?"
After 23 players shook hands one after another, Mr. Yang felt a little dizzy. The foreigners looked similar, and thanks to his good memory, he could not make a mistake after memorizing it for a few nights.
The training ground was quiet, and at this time I heard the sound of applause. Paulillo took the lead in applause, followed by Manicone and the coaching staff, then all the youth team players, and then a large number of reporters around the training ground.
Master Yang waved his hand and the applause gradually stopped: "Okay, it seems we have a good start today. Given that I can fully recognize you, you will easily be discovered if you are lazy."
There was a burst of laughter in the team.
"I already said at the press conference that I want the Carnival Cup and the Champions League champions. Because we are the strongest youth team in Europe! Do you believe what I said?"
"believe!"
"I believe there is only part of the function, and the rest is to train hard for victory! The first place is called the champion, and the second place is called the loser. What do you want?"
"Champion!!" The young man from the youth team shouted loudly with all his strength.
Through a training ground, Inter Milan's first team is also doing daily training classes.
The loud sound broke through the sky and came over. Champion? The first team players couldn't help but stop and looked at the training ground in the distance. These brats were quite motivated. Captain Sanetti looked up at Mancini who was standing on the sidelines. The shouts just now seemed to awaken Mancini from a period of contemplation.
【I don’t believe this fact for two consecutive updates ~】
