Chapter 3 Try It Out

In the early morning, Chen Yu fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he found that it was already eight o'clock and working time was already up. Chen Yu had no time to eat breakfast. He put on his clothes, washed his face and brushed his teeth, went to the computer and pulled the USB flash drive and hung it around his neck. He strided away from the rental house and walked towards the bus station.

Siena is a very small city in Italy, with a population of only 50,000, of which 20,000 are college students. The traffic on the road is not crowded at all. However, Chen Yu got up too late, and when he arrived at the China Hotel, it was already more than ten minutes late from working hours.

The environment layout of the Chinese hotel is ethnically distinctive. At the gate is a female waiter wearing a Chinese cheongsam. The hall is decorated with antique square tables and lacquer stools, and the walls are painted with dragon and phoenix patterns and Chinese calligraphy and paintings. Classical music such as silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River is played. The air is filled with the fragrance of jasmine tea, creating an auspicious and warm atmosphere. Customers seem to be in a teahouse in Jiangnan, China.

The dressed-up boss lady was wiping the table, chairs, doors, windows and glasses with another worker. This was originally a job that Chen Yu did. Seeing that Chen Yu was late, there was no sign of guilt. The boss lady threw the wet rag in her hand at Chen Yu's feet, and shouted at Chen Yu like she had eaten a firecracker: "You have played games all night again! Chen Yu, I tell you, if there is another time, you don't have to come again."

Italian workers have a nine-to-five hour schedule, but Chinese workers in Italy cannot enjoy this treatment. Chinese workers in Chinese hotels have to start work at 7:30 in the morning and cannot get a rest at 10 o'clock in the evening. Moreover, the hotel only cares about a Chinese meal. Although the salary is 1,000 euros a month, Italy is a rich country in Europe, with a high consumption level. Even if you save money, there is not much left in the year. Even so, the boss still calls Chinese workers and drinks without any respect. He is even worse than foreign bosses. This is what people who work abroad often say, and they are more cruel to their own people.

Among the four Chinese employees of the China Hotel, Chen Yu is a college student, and Chen Yu's girlfriend is also an international student at Sierna University. At first, the boss and the boss lady of the China Hotel also respected Chen Yu. Later, Chen Yu broke up with his girlfriend, and he was addicted to games and football all day long. He seemed to have no future and his attitude towards Chen Yu became worse and worse.

"Sister Wang, don't speak so badly, okay? I'm not having an idle meal with you. Our daily working hours are now longer than normal."

If Sister Wang hadn't thrown the rag at Chen Yu's feet, Chen Yu would have thought he couldn't hear it. Anyway, she would have heard a lot of mean words, but Sister Wang's actions angered Chen Yu.

When Sister Wang heard this, she almost jumped up, "What did you say? You don't even have a work visa. If you didn't let you work here, you would have starved to death. She even talked about work hours and ungrateful things."

Chen Yu frowned and said coldly: "Don't talk about what you say is like a savior. There are more than 100,000 Chinese in Italy, and Chinese restaurants are not just Chinese. You know what you want."

Chen Yu's words poked the tiger's butt. Sister Wang rushed to Chen Yu with a whistle, pointed at Chen Yu's nose and said, "There are many good companies. If you have the ability, go. Why do you want to work in my small restaurant? You leave now and leave immediately. Our temple is too small to support you. "

At this time, the boss Wang Fatty heard the noise and came out with the teething jar. Seeing his wife chasing Chen Yu away, he hurriedly said, "What's wrong? I have something to say. A Fang, why are you chasing Xiao Chen away?"

Although Chen Yu is a runner-up, he has a high education and knows a little bit of English and Italian. He basically takes on the task of lobby manager. Fatty Wang doesn't want Chen Yu to leave.

Chen Yu said coldly, "Brother Wang, Sister Wang, I will finally ask you "My sister Wang, pay my salary for me, I will leave immediately. I don't believe it. Without the butcher Wang, I have to eat a pig with hair."

"Xiao Chen, if you have any requests, please tell me..."

Fatty Wang wanted to keep him, but his wife pushed him aside.

"Don't call me Sister Wang, it's not rare, and I can't afford it... Fatty Wang, give him his salary and let him get out."

Chen Yu laughed furiously, "Boss Wang, you awesome, today you tell me to get out. Sooner or later, I will return this sentence to you."

At this time, Boss Wang brought the money and said helplessly to Chen Yu: "Brother, I'm sorry..."

"What do you say?" Sister Wang glared at her husband, reached out to grab the money, counted ten, and threw it in front of Chen Yu, "Okay, my surname is Chen, I'll see if you have the ability to let me get out."

Chen Yu didn't want to deal with such a snobbish and vulgar woman. He took the money and left the China Hotel without looking back. He wandered aimlessly on the street for a while. Chen Yu came to Artemio Franci Stadium.

This is the home court of Serie B team Sienna. Chen Yu will come to watch Sienna's game every match day, and at the same time report the scores to domestic underground betting organizations to earn a little income. In addition to game days, Chen Yu will also come to watch Sienna's training if he has time. Sienna has no stars, but the overall tactics are good, the players are strong and their level is not worse than that of the strong teams in the Chinese Super League.

It turns out that Chen Yu also had the dream of playing in Italy's second-class football, but this idea has always been in his heart and never dared to say it once. It's not that he lacks courage, but that he is very clear about the gap with these players, the skills are not much different, and the gap between physical and consciousness is huge. He may not even be able to play a substitute. Even if he can play a substitute, there are restrictions on the non-European quota of European teams. It is impossible to give a precious foreign aid to a Chinese player who can't even play a substitute.

However, this time, Chen Yu decided to give it a try. He touched the USB flash drive hanging around his neck and walked towards Sienna's assistant coach Mendelssohn who was standing on the sidelines to rest.

Mendelssohn likes Chinese food and often visits the Chinese restaurant where Chen Yu works. Chen Yu can speak some English and Italian. He is the main person who communicates with Mendelssohn, and the two of them are also familiar with each other.

"Coach Mendelsohn, I want to play in Sierna, can you give me a tryout?"

Mendelssohn stared at the Chinese in front of him like an eagle. He was very young, but his eyes were full of confidence and fearless. Italian only had a few simple words, and English was a bit crappy, but respectful and earnest. But what made Mendelssohn feel good about was not just the attitude of this young man, but he often saw this young man in the stands. Not only on the game day, but also during training, but this did not allow Mendelssohn to give him a chance to try. If every stranger came and asked for a try, it would have a great impact on the team's training. Moreover, the team's signings had ended. Now that the troops were strong, there was no need to introduce foreign players.

"Haha, young man, which team did you play professional games in?"

"I played in the second division for one year in the country."

"I appreciate your courage, but I'm sorry, I can't give you a chance to try out, because I don't have the power, and we don't need to add foreign players..." Mendelsohn saw Chen Yu's disappointment and couldn't help but say again: "But if you can give me a highlight of the game that can impress me, I can recommend you to our head coach Mr. Maridimo to see what he means."

Chen Yu had expected this result a long time ago. In fact, he also knew that it would be difficult for someone like him who had no professional experience to join the Italian second-tier team, but if he didn't give it a try, he wouldn't be willing to do so. However, he did not expect Mendelssohn to provide him with such an opportunity. Chen Yu bowed deeply to Mendelssohn, "Thank you for giving me a chance, coach Mendelssohn."

Mendelsohn smiled, "Talented people will not be buried anywhere. I just provide an opportunity. Whether you can be attracted by coach Maridimo also requires your own strength and luck."

"Yes, I get it."

Chen Yu left Artemio Francis Stadium as quickly as possible, returned to his home and rummaged through the cabinets, found his own video in a corner, handed it over to assistant coach Mendelssohn, and then walked into the stands uneasily, continued to watch the training of Siena team, figured out the technical characteristics and tactical cooperation of the players, and secretly observed the expression of Sienna's head coach Maridimo, but Maridimo did not react in any unexpected ways, and did not even look at the stands.

At noon, Chen Yu bought two bread and a cup of coffee and ate it. After eating, he started playing Live 8. He was having fun and Xu Fei called.

"Brother Chen, go play football. Let's take revenge today. You must come, otherwise you will regret it."

Chen Yu listened to Xu Fei's tone and said in a mysterious way: "Xu Fei, what are you trying to do?"

Xu Fei said: "I'll call a guy who plays football in the professional team. Let's go and have those foreign ghost guys together."

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "If someone recognizes it, it will be more embarrassing to win if you win, and it will be even more embarrassing if you lose."

Xu Fei said: "No, this guy comes from Fiorentina. Now he is attracted by the Fiorentina team and has become one of their players."

"Fiorentina?! I'm afraid the level is average." Chen Yu shook his head. Although he lives in Sienna, he is still half a fan of Fiorentina. The two cities are only 50 kilometers. He often goes to see the game in Fiorentina every match day. However, Fiorentina is different from the original Serie A strong team. This year, the Fiorentina team is not alone. Not only is it relegated from Serie A, but it is also forced to be downgraded to C 2 to play in the fourth professional league due to bankruptcy, which is two levels lower than Siena. Playing football at M2, the level is probably not much stronger.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes right away. By the way, bring the camera and record the game."

However, Chen Yu was still very happy. He was worried that he might not be able to play those ghosts alone. After all, football is a collective sport, and Hao Dong is not a world-class striker. Chen Yu's body binds his football consciousness, which is a first- and third-rate professional player. But if there is another professional player, then you will be sure of victory.

"Okay, no problem." Xu Bing thought Chen Yu wanted to record the glorious moment of defeating the ghosts, and agreed without thinking.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu turned on the computer, plugged in the USB flash drive, and waited for the football elf to appear with some anxiety.

"Welcome to the Star Quick Generation System, the No. 1 Elf is here to serve you."
