Chapter 432: The First Intimate Contact with Bashen

In order to leave a good impression on his new teammates and coach, on the second day after signing the contract, Gao Xiaodong took a taxi to the Pinettina training base an hour earlier than the training time. ??

The transformation of the training base has not yet been completed, and the workers are under construction, but the main training ground is already available.

This training camp was built by Moratti's father, Angelo Moratti, in the 1960s under the request and command of the wizard Herrera. It is not only dilapidated, but also not suitable for the training requirements of modern football.

It is said that the player’s dormitory is very bad. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. The famous star Vieira once was so hot that he could not live anymore. He sneaked out of the base in the middle of the night and went home to rest.

Mancini never let players live in the Pinetina base before training, and they always went outside to find star-rated hotels.

The transformation of the training base was requested by Mourinho. A madman who pays attention to details cannot accept long-term training in such a training base.

Moratti is still very supportive of Mourinho. He not only spent a lot of money to renovate the base, but also plans to buy a total of 130,000 square meters of land other than Pinettina and use it as a training camp.

Gao Xiaodong felt that he came early enough, but when he arrived, Mourinho had already arrived and was talking with the players who also arrived early.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong coming, Mourinho walked over with a golden young man, pointed at the young man and said to Gao Xiaodong: "Xiaodong Gao, this is Theo, the translator hired by the club. Theo is proficient in Chinese and English. Italian, if there is anything you can ask him for help."

Theo said in fluent Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Gao Xiaodong, I am not only your translator in the team, but also your Italian teacher. I am willing to serve you at any time."

I'm sorry, this Chinese language is more slick than mine, Gao Xiaodong couldn't help admiring, said: "You're welcome, you will be my mouthpiece and ears from now on, if you can satisfy me, I will give you a bonus, But if you make any mistakes, I won't be polite."

Even though Theo had studied in China and was proficient in Chinese, he didn't know what Yao Mozi was, but he probably guessed what Gao Xiaodong meant, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I have professional ethics and principles .”

Seeing that Gao Xiaodong met the translator, Mourinho said, "Come with me, and I will introduce you to my new teammates."

Although the team gathered in Milan, they did not train in Milan. Inter Milan’s summer training was held in Los Angeles, USA. After staying in Milan for three days, they flew to Los Angeles. Most of the South American players were directly in Los Angeles and the team. meet.

Although Mourinho went out in person,

And grandly introduced Gao Xiaodong to the team members, but the Inter Milan players still treated Gao Xiaodong indifferently, they just clapped their hands symbolically. Second, the high salary is full of complaints.

The only one who feels indifferent is Eto'o who holds the highest salary.

After Mourinho's introduction, everyone went about their own activities. The Italian genius Balotelli walked up to Gao Xiaodong and circled around Gao Xiaodong twice, "I heard that you are very happy, 30,000 fans came to see you yesterday?

Gao Xiaodong said with a grin: "No, no, the fans are actually here to see my jokes."

Balotelli said: "It makes sense. You are not good looking. You are not as tall or handsome as me. The fans must come to see your jokes."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not as bad as you."

Balotelli continued: "You are not as tall or handsome as me, why is my annual salary 1.2 million and your annual salary 6 million."

The surrounding players gloated and watched Balotelli make trouble for Gao Xiaodong, but no one stopped him, because Balotelli was the one they encouraged.

This is a young man, he can't reason with such a person at all, threats and lures are useless, Gao Xiaodong rolled his eyes, and decided to communicate with Balotelli by dealing with the neighbor's kid, Tiedan, He smiled and asked Balotelli, "Which one is bigger, 6 million or 10 million?"

Balotelli grinned, "This one still wants to stump me, of course it's 1000 million."

Gao Xiaodong said: "1.2 million is you, 6 million is me, and 10 million is Eto'o. They are all black brothers. They are not as tall or handsome as you. Their skills are not as good as yours. Why is Eto'o so old? O is ten times your size, don't you, Mario."

Gao Xiaodong embraced Balotelli's shoulder affectionately, with a look of resentment for Balotelli.

Balotelli had only one nerve in his mind, Gao, Balotelli immediately forgot Gao Xiaodong's high salary, and turned to look for Eto'o.

Gao Xiaodong's high salary Inter Milan players are not convinced, but Eto'o's high salary has no objection. Eto'o is the main striker of the two Champions League champions, and Inter Milan came as a fraction of Ibrahimovic's transfer. An annual salary of tens of millions is really not much.

When Materazzi saw that Balotelli didn't know what was going on, he didn't bother Gao Xiaodong, but ran to Eto'o suddenly. He quickly called Balotelli, "Mario, come with me Go get the equipment."

Balotelli ignored and continued to walk towards Eto'o, Materazzi came over and stopped Balotelli, "What do you want?"

Balotelli said: "I asked Eto'o what is better than me, and the annual salary is so high."

Materazzi said with a sullen face: "Nonsense, the coach asked you to get the equipment."

Gao Xiaodong came over with a smile, and said to Balotelli and Materazzi, "I'll go get the equipment with you."

Materazzi saw that Gao Xiaodong pushed Balotelli towards Eto'o calmly, and now he is showing his courtesy to Eto'o with nothing else. room.

Gao Xiaodong didn't care about Materazzi's attitude, he just wanted to create a gesture of being close to the local Italian gang.

The equipment is brought out, the players are here, and it's time for training.

The players had just spent a holiday, and Mourinho did not immediately conduct high-intensity practice. He mainly resumed training in the morning, and conducted passing and shooting training in the afternoon.

In training, Gao Xiaodong's skills surprised both the coaching staff led by Mourinho and the Inter Milan players.

This is not to say that the players of Inter Milan think Gao Xiaodong's level is high, but their previous understanding and understanding of Gao Xiaodong is based on the game before Gao Xiaodong was promoted to the professional A-level, and Gao Xiaodong was promoted to the A-level Afterwards, they only played half of the game against Barcelona. In this half of the game, the ball was still at the feet of Barcelona. Gao Xiaodong didn't touch the ball a few times. Mourinho and Inter Milan players felt that Gao Xiaodong His technique is very average. Looking at it closely now, Gao Xiaodong handles every ball very reasonably, very easily, and his ball skills are very familiar. He doesn't look like a kid who is less than 20 years old, just an old ball ruffian.

Mourinho couldn't figure it out. It was less than two months before the Champions League final, and he was still on vacation. Why did Gao Xiaodong's skills suddenly improve a lot? Is this really the oriental epiphany improvement mentioned by Mendes? Otherwise it is difficult to explain.

The Inter Milan players also put away a bit of contempt, thinking that although this kid is not worthy of the 50 million transfer fee and the 6 million annual salary, he is still a bit worthless. 8
