Liu Feng likes his current life very much, and the daily training in Piacenza makes him very happy.

In addition to his long-term stagnant skills, which have experienced rapid growth after being exposed to formal football training again, his relationship with his teammates has also become more and more harmonious.

Of course, this rapport is based on teammates being abused by him time and time again.

In fact, Liu Feng is looking forward to the game more than the unchanging training every day. Only by scoring goals in the game can he truly feel the joy and excitement that football brings to him.

Unfortunately, the reserve team competition officially starts in August.

Before this, all he could do was to get his body up to the playing standards set by Francini as quickly as possible.

The standards Francchini set for Liu Feng were much higher than those of other players. Liu Feng didn't know this, but even if he knew it, he wouldn't have any complaints.

Because since arriving at the team, the training programs Francini has arranged for him have made him feel that he is making progress.

Liu Feng likes this feeling of progress and has full trust in the head coach who gives him this feeling.

***

As the second division league came to an end, the players of Piacenza's first team ushered in their holidays, but some players who were promoted from the reserve team to the first team last season did not choose to take a holiday.

On this day, Nainggolan, who had been on the bench for a season, came to the reserve team's training ground with a player after the first team had a week off.

The player who came to the team with Nainggolan is named Kasia.

A typical high center forward, with excellent physical condition comparable to Nainggolan and a height of 1.87m, he is like a giant beast in the reserve team.

Twenty-year-old Cassia was promoted from the reserve team to the first team as early as last season and had many playing opportunities that season.

This season, due to the saturation of forwards in the first team, he only got three opportunities to play in garbage time in the team, which is even worse than Nainggolan who played ten times.

However, Kasia did not seem to be worried about sitting on the bench for a season. He was very active when he came to the reserve team and kept saying hello to his former teammates in the reserve team.

"Cassia, there is a genius in the team!" When greeting Cassia, a teammate mentioned Liu Feng.

"Oh? Genius?"

Cassia remains skeptical of his teammates' words. After staying in the first team for a season, he has seen too many talented players.

Especially in the team's game against Juventus, he saw too many players who were similar to himself in age but were obviously not on the same level as him.

Those young players pushed the main player of the team, who he regarded as a very powerful substitute, to the ground and rubbed him.

In that game, they were scored four goals by Juventus. The 23-year-old Del Piero and the 20-year-old Trezeguet became the protagonists of that game.

It was also from that game that Cassia's definition of genius changed.

Recalling that he had been called a genius in the youth training team and reserve team, he felt ashamed and just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. Compared to a real genius, he was nothing.

"Oh, where is that genius?"

"That's the Chinese player."

Looking in the direction his teammates were pointing, Cassia was stunned: "Chinese?"

Chinese players are extremely rare in the five major leagues, and there are even fewer outstanding ones.

When Cassia learned that the genius mentioned by his teammate was actually Chinese, he strengthened his judgment.

Genius from China? Please, stop making yourself laugh.

Of course, Cassia will not tell her true inner thoughts.

Since his teammates praise this player so much, this player must have left a deep impression on them, and speaking out rashly will only cause displeasure to his teammates.

Both Nainggolan and Cascia had spent a lot of time under Francini's staff, so when faced with their request to join the reserve team to train in lieu of vacation, Francini agreed immediately.

"Hello, Liu."

After entering the team, Nainggolan took the initiative to greet Liu Feng.

The Chinese player's performance in that trial training match was recognized by him, and since they are both foreign players, Nainggolan still has a good impression of Liu Feng.

"Hello, Radega." Radega is the official name of Nainggolan. Scarpelli and the others call Nainggolan Racha, which is the name of people they are more familiar with.

"Congratulations on joining Piacenza."

"Thanks."

Polite conversation, polite handshake, Scarpelli with two polite people on the side, I can't help but think of the two people's appearance on the court.

What will it be like once these two people get together?

Scarpelli felt a chill, God, please don't let me meet them on the field.

"There will be a training match today, and Racha and Cassia will join two teams respectively."

In order to let some players who are not very familiar with Cassia and Nainggolan have an idea of ​​their strength, Francini directly changed the content of this morning's training to a training match.

"Racha, you and Liu Feng are on the same team, Cassia, you join Scarpelli's blue team."

"shit!"

Scarpelli felt that Francini must have had the same idea as himself.

But just thinking about it, the head coach has already begun to try to put Feng and Racha on the same team: "As expected, the head coach is really good."

The team members quickly found their positions. In fact, compared to various separate training events every day, what they love most is the more consistent and emotional training matches.

However, since Liu Feng arrived, his opponents no longer think so every day.

Cassia looked at his teammates who had expressions of bitterness and hatred, full of confusion, what is going on?

"Damn it, why aren't you on the same team as Liu?"

"Yes, twice in a row."

"Can you please consider how I feel? Except for the trial match, I have never been on the same team as Feng."

Cassia became even more confused when she heard the topics discussed by her teammates.

The popularity of the Chinese player in the team exceeded his imagination. Is this really the treatment that a player who has been with the team for less than a month should receive?

"Listen, I don't understand why you are so afraid of that Chinese player, but I hope you can give me the ball as much as possible in this game."

Cassia shook his head. What he wanted to do more now than the Chinese player was to score a goal. After sitting on the bench for a season, his goals felt like they were all exhausted.

"Okay, Cassia."

Teammates still respect this center who has successfully been promoted from the team to the first team.

After the kick-off, the blue team attacked with the ball, and Cassia used his body to turn the red team's penalty area upside down.

These substitute defenders who were assigned to Liu Fenghong's team were completely powerless against Cassia.

After Scarpelli once again crossed over with the midfielder and dribbled the ball in, he passed a long pass from the center circle that went straight to the red team's penalty area.

Cascia, who jumped high, overcame all the defenders and hit the goal with his head, scoring the goal.

"pretty!"

All the players on the field applauded Cassia's goal. As a high center forward, Cassia's performance was quite outstanding.

After scoring the goal, Cassia looked proudly at Liu Feng, who had been praised by his teammates before, but was shocked to find that Liu Feng was tying his shoelaces.

Damn it, that Chinese guy didn't even care about such a beautiful goal.

"Hey! As a striker, your job is not to tie your shoes on the field."

Liu Feng was concentrating on arranging the shoelaces that had been left open since the start of the game, when he suddenly heard the new high center forward shouting unkindly to him.

Gently stuffing the finally straightened shoelaces into his shoes, he straightened his waist and smiled.
Chapter completed!
