Chapter 018 Milan's debut 1
On the first day of training, during the training break, Zhang Yang took his own Milan No. 7 jersey and asked every Milan player who came to the training today to sign.
Originally, some people were a little contemptuous of Zhang Yang's behavior. He said, no matter how much he was, he came from a small place and had never seen the world. However, after Zhang Yang collected his signatures contentedly, he asked everyone to put this little thought away. What he said was, "Thank you, I am Watching you grow up playing football. You are what I admired for a long time when I was a child, hehe.
Hearing this sentence, a group of old guys couldn't help sighing. Facing this young man who is only 21 years old, they are always reminding themselves that they are old.
Now, many players in AC Milan are meritorious players who won the Champions League in 2003. Four years later, AC Milan has won the Champions League championship again. However, the vast majority of the main players in the team are still the original ones.
For example, Maldini, such as Nesta, such as Dida, such as Gattuso, Seedorf, Pirlo, Inzaghi, Karadze.
When AC Milan picked up the Champions League trophy in 2003, Zhang Yang was only 17 years old. If he went back for two years, he was only 15 years old. At that time, these players were almost all in Milan. Therefore, he said that he almost watched them grow up playing football. This is really good. So.
Of course, judging from Zhang Yang's current value, he is definitely a big-name player, but this 21-year-old young man obviously doesn't care too much about this.
Zhang Yang's first training session at AC Milan was filmed by media tracking on the sidelines, which is also the courtesy and attention that rich players can receive. An ordinary training course will receive so much attention.
Zhang Yang didn't know that his training class here had just ended. Even in China, the scene of his first training class in AC Milan will appear in the sports report that day, and it is a very important news.
The first training course, which is also the first training class after a holiday. Many players are relatively tired, so Ancelotti has not arranged too much training. It can be said that this day's training is mainly about relaxation.
Moreover, after the training, the players came to the captain Paul with their family and girlfriends. A small team party was held at Maldini's home. It is said that this is a tradition of AC Milan. In the first training session of each season, the captain will have half a small party. Everyone will get together to enhance their relationship.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Yang's day will be easy. Returning from Maldini's home to his hotel, Zhang Yang took a hot bath and relaxed. After a while, Xiaomi entered the copy and began training. Just when he came to Milan, he was surrounded by masters, and he was proud. Naturally, he was unwilling to be reconciled. He wanted to adjust his state as soon as possible, and he wanted to be amazing.
The next day, when Zhang Yang arrived in Milanello for training, he was surrounded by many reporters again. This time, he stopped for an interview with the media. After two seasons of professional league training, the relationship between Zhang Yang and the media was better than before. As long as the media did not take the initiative to provoke him, he was better. Together, players and the media are complementary. Players need the media to help them wave their flags and shout, and the media also needs players to attract attention.
Looking at Zhang Yang surrounded by the media, the other players stopped and laughed.
"Look." Gattuso said with a smile, "Two players in the team used to have this kind of treatment, but now there is another one."
Who are the other two players in his mouth?
Soon there was the answer. A few minutes after Zhang Yang passed, the appearance of another player aroused the popularity of the media. This is one of the other two players in Gattuso's mouth, Milan No. 9, called Jiu Ye's Philip. Inzaghi.
Zhang Yang turned around and saw Inzaghi smiling brightly. Unlike himself and these Italian reporters, Inzaghi can be called like a fish in water here. Looking at Inzaghi talking happily with reporters, Zhang Yang felt that sometimes the rumors outside were really unbelievable. The guy in front of him, who was agreed to be one of the representatives of Italian melancholy men, was heartless at all.
As for the other one in Gattuso's mouth that will cause the besiege of media reporters, he is obviously the most popular one in Milan now, the Brazilian midfielder Kaka. However, until the next few days, Zhang Yang did not see Kaka. He learned from the broken mouth Gattuso that Kaka was injured and had been mentioned. He asked for leave from the club, and the club also agreed that Kaka would stay in Brazil, and the team doctor of the Brazilian national team would help him treat and recover. However, in order to be cautious, the Milan laboratory sent a team doctor to participate in Kaka's rehabilitation plan.
One afternoon a few days later, after the training, the players had left Milanello, and Zhang Yang was still sweating on the training ground, and he was practicing overtime. In these days of training, although the media public opinion praised Zhang Yang's training state, Zhang Yang was not satisfied. He felt that his state was not in the state, not only not in the best state, but not in the state of the game. Last season, Marseille played on the third line and won two championships. However, the depth of the Marseille bench is not good. The most important thing is that there is no player in the team that can replace Zhang Yang. Therefore, as long as Zhang Yang is not injured or banned, he will definitely start and often play 90 minutes. This also makes Zhang Yang relatively tired, not only physically tired, but also psychologically tired. Just after a season, Zhang Yang thought that he was very motivated and had prepared for the new season. However, in fact, it didn't seem to be the case. His body told him that he was still a little short of heat.
Zhang Yang shot in the practice, which is also the training he has practiced the most. The football is shot by the throwing machine. With his own judgment, he rushed to the football landing point and completed the shot as soon as possible. The shooting of the throwing machine is irregular. Therefore, Zhang Yang will also run from time to time to find the football landing point and complete the shot.
After practicing for half an hour, Zhang Yang was tired and out of breath. The physical energy consumption intensity of these half an hour was not much worse than that of half a game.
Tassoti threw a bottle of sports drink to Zhang Yang and said, "Take a break, Zhang."
Knowing that Zhang Yang was going to practice more after the training, the club seemed to be very interested and arranged assistant coach Tasoti to accompany Zhang Yang for training. When Zhang Yang was training just now, Tasoti was recording and writing and sketching on the notebook from time to time. What he wrote will appear on the desks of Ancelotti and the team's team doctor and physical trainer the next day.
Zhang Yang took more than half of the drink and said, "Sure enough, the holiday is too relaxing. My training intensity was stronger than this before, but I feel much better than now."
Tassotti looked at Zhang Yang in surprise. In his opinion, Zhang Yang's training intensity is already very high. He is considering whether to discuss with the team doctor, and then suggested that Zhang Yang appropriately reduce the training intensity. Now it seems that Zhang Yang's previous training intensity is greater than this. It's really hard to imagine. Are all Chinese players so powerful? So self-disciplined?
Tassotti said, "Your physical fitness is really good, and the feeling in front of the door is quite excellent. I have seen many excellent shooters, and you are not inferior to them at all. I have always been curious about how Chinese football can cultivate such an excellent player.
Zhang Yang took a big sip of the drink, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile, "The coach is familiar with Chinese football?"
Tassotti smiled, "Actually, I'm not familiar with it. For me, it's too far away. To be honest, I didn't expect that one day the team would have a player from China to join." With that, Tasoti took Zhang Yang's towel and put it aside. "I just watched the two games of the Chinese team in the 2002 World Cup, which was my most primitive impression of Chinese players."
Zhang Yang nodded, which is conceivable. For many people in the football power, whether it is a coach, a player or a simple fan, Chinese football is too far away from them. Their only impression of Chinese football is probably the performance of the Chinese team at the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup. Unfortunately, the only time the Chinese team participated in this World Cup, their performance was extremely bad. If you need to add another modifier, it is extremely bad. I'm afraid this is also the most primitive and direct impression of Chinese football for many people. However, it is sad that the current situation of Chinese football is even more unbearable than at that time.
"The training is over. Let's talk while walking." Tasoti said to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang nodded. He was naked and sweated on his shoulders. Wet jersey. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, which is also a hot wind.
Tassotti said as he walked, "Carlo valued you very much. He also talked to me in the morning and told me that he wanted to help you understand Italian culture and traditions so that you could integrate into the team as soon as possible. AC Milan is a team with a long history. Each team has its own traditions and its own soul. That's why these teams can be passed down for decades and hundreds of years. Our players come from all over the world. They have different languages and different understandings of football. However, I believe that the love for football is the same.
Zhang Yang nodded and agreed. That's why football is a common language for many players in a team.
Tasoti patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Zhang, you have just come to this team. You need to get used to it slowly. Don't worry too much. If there is anything you don't understand or need help, you can come to me or communicate directly with Carlo. Of course, this is in private. In public, you also know what to do, right, Zhang?"
Zhang Yang understood a little. This must be the previous media's exaggerated reports on himself. In the media reports, he is perverse and disobedient. Therefore, Ancelotti seemed to be a little worried, so he especially asked Tassoti to talk to himself and get vaccinated. This has a little advantage. Tasotti is the middleman, just like the role of lubricating oil. Ancelotti doesn't have to worry about the relationship with Zhang Yang getting worse, and there is room for manoeuvre.
Zhang Yang laughed. Anyway, as the head coach, Ancelotti is really good. Maybe some media say that he has a weak nature, but for the player Zhang Yang, it is very good that the head coach can take the initiative to communicate with him.
"Don't worry, coach, I know what you mean." Zhang Yang said to Tassotti, and then he added, "I'm here to play football."
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Tasoti nodded, but he thought in his heart that he hoped so. Obviously, this man was not so worried about Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang is a genius. There is no doubt about it. However, in the eyes of many people, genius is always strange and difficult to manage. In addition, the French media's exaggerated reports on Zhang Yang at the beginning, it is no wonder that the Milan coaching team is a little worried.
Speaking of which, in the history of AC Milan, it seems that there are really few thorny players. The arrival of Zhang Yang can be regarded as making up for this gap.
