If you are a brother, come and play football

Chapter 79 The First Snow of 1990 (asking for monthly ticket and collection ticket)
Early morning on July 12th.

There was a knock on the door.

Vialli went to Lu Deyang's house and gave him several gifts, all of which were entrusted by his teammates.

Mancini's hometown is near Rome, so he left Genoa by plane in advance.

Vialli was born in Cremona, in Lombardy, and could drive home late in the morning to help his mother with cooking.

"I really don't want to go home."

After entering the house, Vialli sighed and said: "Every time I go back, they ask me when I will get married. I am just better at breaking up."

"You will get married sooner or later, sooner or later."

Lu Deyang said.

He remembered that Vialli later got married, but there was not much news about him.

There is not much news about this rich second-generation's life, but unexpectedly he is still urged to get married.

Italy is really similar to China in this respect, and Italians generally get married earlier than in China.

"Who knows? I'm always worried that I'll be cheated." Vialli said: "I can now spend money to buy the peripherals of my favorite movies and collect them. I'm worried when I think about giving half to others in the divorce, after all, those things are out of print."

"You're not Marco, I trust you to differentiate between good guys and bad guys."

Lu Deyang handed him a cup of green tea and said.

This was the first time he had seen someone like Lanna.

"How are you? You've been doing very well recently, especially the British royal family has praised you highly." Vialli asked casually.

Lu Deyang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not a star. Athletes should speak with their results."

Before Mantovani called, Lu Deyang discussed this matter with him. He should try to keep a low profile during this period. As for the endorsement fee, it will definitely increase.

Without a championship, you still have no confidence. Being too high-profile will only annoy people.

After a few seasons and a few championships, the fans will be able to call him whatever they want.

"You are really a scary guy. You are so clear-headed. I don't need to remind you." Vialli exclaimed: "If it were Roberto, he would want to be on TV every day."

"His father was too strict, so he always wanted to prove to his father how successful he was," said Lu Deyang.

Mancini's father is similar to his grandson's father.

Although he is a carpenter by profession and not a coach, he still gave Mancini a lot of help. Traditional Italian parents are similar to old-fashioned parents in China. They are willing to support their children but not very expressive. They must be stricter at home. Mancini suffered a lot during training when he was a child.

Lu Deyang wondered if his father was watching him train with a table leg in his hand, preparing to beat him up.

That's why Mancini has such a weird temper.

He likes to show off but is repressed, has a bad temper but is also proud. His favorite literature, film and television works also show his yearning for clever detectives and personal heroism.

The reason why we have no restraint in eating sweets is probably because we were restricted when we were young.

Combined with the things he occasionally revealed about his childhood, it is easy to infer what kind of person his father Aldo Mancini is. Italian players are generally more influenced by their families.

Mancini has no bad habits, which shows that Aldo Mancini is quite successful.

If Cassano had a father like this, he might really become the new Baggio.

Not long after Vialli left, Mantovani's grandson came to visit.

"I'm just here to help deliver the gifts. Grandpa has prepared gifts for every first-team player." After putting the things down, he prepared to leave.

"and many more."

Lu Deyang casually picked up a bag of tea and handed it to him, saying, "This is for Paul. It's very good black tea."

"Okay, Grandpa will be happy."

"What has Enrique been up to lately?"

"I don't know, but my father is very busy." said Vincenzo Mantovani, who was standing at the door.

After chatting for a few words, he ran away.

I guess the old chairman gave him a lot of money for running errands.

He is about the same age as King Lu, but he is not steady at all.

This father and son are far worse than the old chairman.

Lu Deyang met Enrique Mantovani when he was a guest at the old chairman's house before. After a brief chat, he found that his personality was like that of an FM player. He discussed the value of players as if they were commodities, just like Manchester United's Sandro. I guess he can get along well with those people in the Pozzo family.

It wasn't until after five o'clock when the last wave of guests left that things finally quieted down. Monica prepared a lot of dishes, and the two of them spent a quiet Christmas.

In the evening, the two of them watched the video of "Christmas Vacation" together and went to bed early. They always felt that they lacked motivation to exercise when the Mancini couple were not around.

Fortunately, the more than ten-day holiday passed quickly.

On the 27th, the teammates returned to Genoa one after another.

Lu Deyang once again received a lot of gifts, all of which were local specialties from his teammates' hometowns, as if it was the end of the college winter vacation. From cheese to ham, from wool scarves to porcelain, there was really everything.

On the training ground.

"As you know, the tradition in my country is different from that in Italy. We will confess to God at Christmas." Boskov looked at the players and said, "You'd better not indulge yourself too much, otherwise I will let you know what regret is after the physical examination!"

Boskov was quite satisfied to find that only one or two players were nervous.

The team is generally composed of young people who lack self-control. Now it seems that the situation is better than he thought.

"Okay, go for the physical examination. I will arrange tomorrow's starting lineup based on your physical condition." Boskov waved his hand to drive them away.

Tomorrow is the last game of 1989.

On December 12th, Sampdoria played against Cremonese at home.

Lu Deyang failed to make the roster.

Facing a relegation favorite, Sampdoria still made a certain degree of rotation.

But the result was not as good as expected. Both teams scored goals before injury time, and Sampdoria failed to win the last game in 1989.

Boscov was very annoyed by this.

He did not underestimate his opponent.

But the gap in strength between the two sides is very large.

Cremonese is one of the few teams in Serie A that does not have any big-name stars.

For example, Ascoli, who are ranked at the bottom of the table, have former Champions League top scorer and Yugoslav international Borislav Cvetkovic in their team.

Facing such a team, getting one point less may lead to some variables.

So the vacation was cancelled for the whole team.

Lu Deyang was no exception. He specifically found Boskov and told him about this matter.

First he was given a holiday early, and now if he is not allowed to cancel his holiday, then this privilege will be too obvious, which will easily make his teammates feel distant, which is not what Lu Deyang wants.

"It's already 1990, and we're still practicing."

Dosena complained.

As a father, he didn't dare let his son know about this, and he always felt a little embarrassed to be punished.

"There's nothing wrong with that. The more we train, the easier it will be during the game. We practice every move many times and study the opponent's kicking habits. Then we can win everything. One less day of vacation won't kill anyone, but a few more hours of training will give us a better chance of winning... The boss will definitely say that."

Chiesa said in a weird voice.

He recently got a new girlfriend and they can't wait to stick together 24 hours a day.

It would be extremely painful for him to lose one day of vacation.

Vialli curled his lips behind him.

Lu Deyang and others noticed that Boskov had caught up with their jogging group at some point.

Parry immediately asked, "So what do you think should be done?"

"Of course we can't reduce the vacation time, we are very tired. We also need to be allocated more tickets, as my girlfriend has many relatives. I am planning to renew my contract with the team recently, and it would be great if I could be provided with a house. Renting a house outside always lacks the feeling of home. The team is not short of money now, and we even have airline sponsorship. Why don't we discuss with them to provide a certain number of free first-class flights to the families of the first-team players every year. If possible, I also want some shopping cards for Milan shopping malls. Women always like to buy those handbags, don't they..."

Chiesa was still making a wish when he felt that his teammates seemed to be unable to keep up with him.

When he looked back, he found that everyone else was still standing there, with the first-team coach Boskov standing next to them.

"...Boss," Chiesa swallowed and tried hard to keep his voice from trembling.

Boskov clapped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Enrico's request is not too much. What do the rest of you want most?"

"It would be nice if I didn't have to wash my shoes myself," Mancini said.

"Okay, then we will satisfy the better players first. When Enrico becomes the best player in Serie A, your wish will also come true. But now you need to hone yourself first. In the next month, Enrico will be responsible for cleaning shoes for the first team." Boskov said.

Chiesa looked down at his teammates' feet and felt like crying. When he looked up, he found that it was snowing in Genoa.
