Chapter 54: Stubborn Castori

Liu Feng did not stay in Milan that night, but took the train back to Piacenza after sending Yuan Xiao back to school.

That night, he rushed back to Chen's restaurant, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, he was a little surprised when he saw a group of reporters outside the training ground.

Because most of those reporters have Chinese faces like him, and they are obviously reporters from domestic media.

"Liu Feng! Can I ask you some questions?"

"Liu Feng, do you have any thoughts on defeating the Milan reserve team?"

"Will you become the pride of China in Italy like Dong Fangzhuo?"



As usual, Liu Feng ran to the training base, so he couldn't hide from these reporters. Seeing that they were all his compatriots, Liu Feng briefly answered a few questions from the reporters.

Then he quickly got into the training base on the grounds that he was still busy with training.

However, those reporters were already very satisfied. Last night, the video of Liu Feng performing a hat trick to defeat the AC Milan reserve team once again caused a sensation on the domestic Internet.

Countless netizens who had not noticed Liu Feng before also became very interested in him.

The interest of the masses is the interest of the media. For a time, domestic reporters from major sports newspapers received a call from the editor-in-chief in the middle of the night, asking them to get Liu Feng's information the next day no matter what. This was a death order.

.

So, this group of reporters showed up early the next morning. It can only be said that the motivation to have a good meal can always make people try their best.

As for Li Peng, as the first reporter to contact Liu Feng, he didn't have to wait like this group of colleagues. He had an exclusive interview with Liu Feng as early as yesterday after the game.

So today, when the editors-in-chief of major sports newspapers are anxiously waiting for news from their reporters, the main focus of the overseas player inventory of Sports Weekly is already Liu Feng, who has made Milan's geniuses the background.

It has to be said that in terms of football, Sports Weekly is always one step ahead of its domestic counterparts.

At this time, Li Peng was eating breakfast at home, looking at the promotion information sent by the editor-in-chief. Now he is no longer the temporary foreign correspondent who was afraid of being recalled to the country at any time.

When Liu Feng walked into the training ground, it was different than before. The atmosphere of the team today did not seem as relaxed as after winning.

"El, what happened?"

Liu Feng scratched his head. Yesterday, he received a message from the head coach saying that there would be no holiday today: "Is it because there is no rest?"

"Well, didn't you see the head coach of the first team is here? Feng, congratulations, I think you will enter the first team soon!"

Only then did Liu Feng notice that there were two more figures beside Franzini.

One was Cecilio, the youth training manager of Piacenza whom Liu Feng knew, and the other was an old man in his fifties who looked quite serious.

"I reiterate again, what I need is defensive players."

Castori, the head coach of the first team, once again reiterated his needs to Francini and Cecilio, who had wildly recommended the Chinese striker to him.

As for the Chinese player, Castori, who was already troubled by the situation in the first team, had no patience to tell the two people in front of him that his lineup did not need more forwards.

Since the start of the Second Division, Piacenza has led the entire league in the number of goals conceded.

With five rounds left in the first half of the competition, Piacenza, which had a promising record last season, is now only ranked tenth in the league. Castori believes this is related to the team's poor defense.

Piacenza was in turmoil last summer. The core of the defense, Campagnaro, was sold, the head coach Iacchini was also poached, and Castori became the team coach.

What he has been doing since taking over is to train the team's defense. Not long ago, he had a direct falling out with veteran defenseman Lorenzo Danna because the team lost consecutive games, and now he has put him on the bench.

Castori suddenly informed Cecilio yesterday that he was going to the reserve team to select players today. So Cecilio and Francini had to let the boys who had just played a high-intensity game continue as usual the next day.

Go to the training base.

"Believe me, Maple can greatly change the situation of the team."

"What's the situation? Do you distrust my coaching?"

Glaring at Cecilio, the first-team coach was very dissatisfied with the youth manager who was trying to interfere with his selection of players.

"I can tell you clearly that even if he comes to my team, he will not have a chance to play."

Cecilio was speechless by the stubborn old man in front of him. He could only watch Francini helplessly spread his hands.

Although the team's current record is poor, before the club is completely disappointed with Castori, as the head coach of the first team, he has a huge say in the team.

So as long as he is unwilling to recruit Liu Feng, no matter what Francini and Cecilio say, it will be useless.

After all, you can't force a head coach to do something he doesn't want to do. Now it's obvious that Castori has a big opinion of Liu Feng because of the two people's recommendations.

"Okay! Are all the players here?"

Unwilling to continue the conversation, Castori waved his hand and Francini walked towards the players who were warming up under the leadership of Lucas.

"Hello, boys!"

"Hello!"

Forming a circle, the Piacenza players looked excitedly at Castori in the center of the circle.

The first-team head coaches who rarely appear in the reserve team appear here, which means that some of them are about to start their league careers.

"I'm here today. You must already know why."

Castori got straight to the point: "Now, the team's defenders please step forward."

"What?"

The players who congratulated Liu Feng one after another were stunned. They always thought that Kastori in front of them came to the reserve team because of Liu Feng.

Scarpelli asked directly: "Sir, aren't you here for Liu Feng?"

"Oh? That's a good question."

Hearing the name of the Chinese player again, Castori glanced at Scarpelli and Liu Feng beside him: "No."

Scarpelli was a little frightened by the sharp gaze. After Liu Feng patted his shoulder to indicate not to say more, he chose to shut up.

Soon, a training match for reserve team defenders began.

Before arriving, Castori had already obtained information about the defense line from Franzini. He already had several goals this time. After some observation, he quickly selected the players he needed, namely young players.

Scarpelli and Gadri.

Lorenzo has been put up for sale by Castori, so he needs two defenders when he comes to the reserve team this time.

Scarpelli, who has just been promoted to the reserve team this season but has already established himself as the main player, and Gadri, who has rich game experience, became his first choice, and he was very satisfied with their performance.

"Okay, you two will report to the first team venue tomorrow."

"Sir, Liu Feng is really..."

Scarpelli also wanted to fight for his friend and half-idol Liu Feng. But the sight of Castori turning away without hesitation made him understand that no matter how much he said, it was useless.

"Okay El, congratulations on joining the first team, keep working hard!"

Liu Feng, who was standing next to Scarpelli, clenched his fists. He felt a little unwilling, but there were some things that he couldn't do anything about, so he quickly calmed down his emotions and sent blessings to his good friend.
