Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 36 Mexes

Small goals?
One goal?
Upon hearing this, the Chinese media were quite excited, but the Italian media were all quite agitated.

Italian media outlets have been saying all sorts of things, but one thing is certain: Shan Yongzhuo has set very high goals for himself.

It's worth noting that Serie A is known for its strong defense in Europe. Last season's Serie A top scorer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, scored 25 goals, which is a very good number. Di Vaio and Milito, who came in second and third respectively, both scored 24 goals, while Gilardino, who came in fourth, only scored 19 goals.

Want to score 30 goals?
The Italians' arrogance in football is in no way inferior to that of the English.

Then the media started criticizing him, saying, "His first priority should be to adapt to Serie A."

"Serie A is not a small league like the Austrian Bundesliga."

"He wants to score 30 goals in Serie A? He's too arrogant!"

"You ignorant and arrogant Chinese brat!"

Amidst the uproar in the Italian media, Shan Yongzhuo was leisurely resting at home.

For Shan Yongzhuo, scoring 30 goals is not too difficult. With his powerful legs, achieving this goal shouldn't be too hard.

In fact, Shan Yongzhuo was not satisfied with 30 goals, as that only amounted to 6 points!
Staying at home all the time was boring, so Shan Yongzhuo decided to go out for a walk and also check out the new team and get familiar with the environment.

Or, to meet new teammates?

The main purpose is still to train and exercise.

Dan Yongzhuo was still very dissatisfied with his points. It would be even better if he could increase his points through his own training.

However, the Roma players clearly lack the same level of dedication to training during the holidays; the small training ground that the club opened during the holidays is still completely empty.

Instead of training alone, Shan Yongzhuo decided to go to the club's gym to do some exercise.

There was no one else in the gym, but Shan Yongzhuo didn't mind and started exercising by himself.

More than an hour later, a guy with long blond hair walked in. He was quite muscular and had a staff member with him.

The staff member recognized Shan Yongzhuo and pulled the tall, handsome blond man over, introducing him: "Shan, this is Philip, Philip Makeske, you should know him, right?"

“Philip, this is the order, you know.”

Mexes carefully examined Shan Yongzhuo and nodded affirmatively, "Of course I know. Welcome to Rome, kid."

Makex extended his hand with a cold expression.

Dan Yongzhuo also reached out his hand, feeling very embarrassed because he didn't know this guy!

Are these Roma players?

Philip Micks?
Who is that?
If you don't know someone, they're definitely not a famous star athlete.

Mexes replied nonchalantly, "You're very diligent."

"Yes," Shan Yongzhuo said with a wry smile.

He felt a little embarrassed; the other person was covered in tattoos and didn't look like a nice guy, so he might not be easy to get along with.

Moreover, it seems a bit impolite that the other person knows me, but I don't know them...

Philippe Mexes, nicknamed "Big Plum Blossom," came from Toulouse in Ligue 1 and rose to fame at Auxerre. At the age of 18, he became Auxerre's main center-back and was hailed as France's "new Blanc." He was also selected for the French national team in 2002. It can be said that he and Cissé were considered the rising stars of France at that time.

After joining Roma in 2004, Mexes wasted a year before being given important responsibilities by Spalletti, forming a formidable defensive wall for Roma with Chivu.

Even now, Mexes remains the absolute core of the defense and is still very strong. Moreover, despite his humble origins, he is an extremely hardworking player on the team.

Although there were still several days before the team's assembly date, Mexes arrived early and immediately began working out, only to unexpectedly meet his new teammates there.

However, Mexes did not have a good impression of Shan Yongzhuo.

"Is this the guy who stole Julio's number 19 jersey?"

With the arrival of Shan Yongzhuo, the team's Brazilian veteran Julio Baptista gave up his number 19 jersey.

The number 19 is hardly a remarkable jersey number, and Baptista generously gave it up. However, as a friend, Mexes was very unhappy about this and also didn't think much of Shan Yongzhuo.

Who is Baptista?
A former admiral who served on the Galacticos.

Shan Yongzhuo?
How did a young newcomer manage to snatch the veteran's number?
As a veteran who isn't too old either, Mexes wasn't too happy about this.

Of course, Shan Yongzhuo was unaware of the jersey incident and naturally couldn't fathom why Mexes was unhappy. After exercising for a while, Mexes noticed that Shan Yongzhuo remained calm throughout, showing no intention of looking at him or trying to curry favor with him.

"This guy is so arrogant!"

"Damn it!"

"No way, I have to teach this arrogant brat a lesson, otherwise I'll really be annoyed!"

Shan Yongzhuo was exercising diligently, sweat dripping from his forehead, but he was completely absorbed in it.

This kind of fitness training is very beneficial for increasing strength, and Shan Yongzhuo has always taken it very seriously.

"Snapped."

Just then, Mexes walked over and patted Shan Yongzhuo hard on the shoulder, "Kid."

Dan Yongzhuo felt a bit of pain from the slap and said angrily, "What is it?"

Mexes shrugged, then looked at Shan Yongzhuo with a disdainful gaze, pointed to the machine Shan Yongzhuo was using, and said, "I want to use this."

"There's another one over there?" Shan Yongzhuo pointed to a resistance training machine next to him, somewhat puzzled.

"Yours looks better," Mexes said nonchalantly.

Dan Yongzhuo pursed his lips. Why was this guy acting like a little kid?
Is yours better?
Isn't this the kind of line kids often use when they snatch candy from others?
Can I tell you later that your wife is better, so I can have a taste of her?
However, Shan Yongzhuo didn't want any conflict, so he simply walked over to the one next to him.

However, after ten minutes of training, Mexes used the same tactic again.

"Are you looking for trouble, you bastard?" Shan Yongzhuo couldn't hold back any longer; this guy was just looking for trouble.

"FUCK!"

Mexes used a universally accepted swear word and immediately delivered a kick.

Dan Yongzhuo, who possessed fighting skills, was filled with rage. He dodged the kick and immediately retaliated with a kick that struck Max in the left cheek, knocking him to the ground.

Mexes was stunned by the kick.

He covered his face and fell to the ground, baring his teeth and a fierce look appearing on his face.

but……

Unfortunately, what followed was complete suppression.

The opponent's fighting style was incredibly powerful, with various techniques at his disposal. Mexes was no match for him and took more than a dozen punches in a row.

After he had been beaten enough, Mexes, his face bruised and battered, squatted in the corner, feeling somewhat frightened.

Mexes was genuinely terrified.

He's a defensive stalwart. Ever since he was criticized for his overly elegant defensive moves in his early years, he has consistently trained and considers himself a tough guy. While he may not be a villain like Gattuso, he's definitely not a pushover either.

Right now, I'm just getting beaten up all by myself!

The other party's movements were so fast and agile, almost like the skills of a secret agent in a movie!

In the end, Shan Yongzhuo finally stopped.

Are you going to cause trouble again?

"No, no, no, Dan, it was my fault. I apologize to you, I sincerely apologize."

"sorry."

Dan Yongzhu shrugged, smiled, and helped the other man up. "Okay, Philip, actually I'm a very friendly person."

Mexes didn't find it friendly at all, but he had no choice but to smile and chat with Shan Yongzhuo. He really couldn't beat him!

The two then became quite friendly.

Mexes' injuries weren't serious either. He changed his mind and decided it would be better to get along with Shan Yongzhuo amicably.

Dan Yongzhuo was quite happy. Although they had fought, Mexes was too easy to back down.

That's good, it's like making Roma their first friend.
