Chapter 4 Join Juventus

The head coach of the Italian football league is different from the head coach of the Premier League. They are only responsible for the training and game of the first team. They only have the right to advise the signing players. In fact, they are responsible for the general manager of the team.

And the head coach of the Premier League is often the team manager. When he sees his favorite player, a contract is very simple.

The new Juventus club sports manager Saike looked at a player profile, "Li Yu, 181CM, 100KG!"

"From China, without even one professional league experience, no systematic youth training record, used to be trained by one person?"

"The indicators of the body are abnormally high!"

Although Saiko is experienced, he is also stunned by this information. He looked at Deschamps sitting opposite and said, "Didier, are you sure that the first team needs such a player now, or is the information of such a player?"

When Deschamps first saw it, he was also surprised, especially Li Yu's height and weight. He repeatedly communicated with the testers to confirm, and even suspected that there was something wrong with the test instrument.

In the end, I have to admit that Li Yu, who is very suitable for professional players in terms of figure and muscle fat ratio, is seriously overweight. He is simply a freak.

After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Deschamps replied, "Sike! Take a look at the data of the actual test items later and the video of the test match in his team. This teenager from the East, although the football resume is a blank piece of paper, we should give him such a chance. Please believe my judgment.

"Will his weight be caused by any hidden disease?"

Saco was obviously a little shaken and raised his own questions again.

"I consulted the team's medical consultant about this matter. He said that Li Yu is simply an 'iron man'. He is so heavy because the density of bones is twice that of normal people, and the strength and flexibility of muscles and ligaments are far greater than that of normal people, which means that we will have a player who will basically not get hurt!"

Deschamps replied.

"All right! Didier, you convinced me. Give him a top youth contract!"

Seco said seriously.

"No, it should be a professional contract, so that we can have him better!"

Deschamp shook his head and said the purpose of his trip.

"Well, the lowest first-team substitute contract, the specifics are up to you!"

In fact, Saike didn't want to sign Li Yu, and he had to give face to the new head coach and immediately said his bottom line.

...

During the waiting period, Li Yu, who was already penniless, lived in a separate room arranged by the Vinovo training base. It was strange that he was not arranged to train with the youth team. Obviously, he could not go to the first team. He had to do the necessary experience training every day and rarely went out.

This makes Li Yu, who is new to Italy, very uncomfortable. Through simple contact with the club staff, he found that few ordinary Italians can speak English, and so do the staff of the base, which is more serious than the problems he encountered in France. It makes his own life very laborious and often needs to use English. It takes another half a day to let the other party understand his intention.

From the window, you can see the training ground surrounded by mountains. There are occasional small clouds floating in the blue sky. Li Yu's heart has never been so quiet. This is Vinovo, the club's dedicated to creating a completely quiet football world away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

'ling...' The phone in the room rang. Li Yu knew what the call at this moment meant. She picked up the phone and tried to make herself less excited. She said gently in English, "Hello, I'm Li Yu!"

As Li Yu expected on the other side of the microphone, Deshang's voice sounded, "YU! Come to my office. Since you don't have an agent, I have to talk to you face to face about signing the contract!"

"Okay, sir, I'll be right there."

When he came to the office, Deschamps motioned Li Yu to sit in front of him and said bluntly, "Generally, the trial training takes about 20 days, but you prove yourself with one day' performance. I don't know why you have such a big change from last time, but now we can discuss your contract!"

"Sir, is there no agent to sign the contract?"

Li Yu understood some of the signing process and asked in a low voice.

"YU! I have communicated with my agent Wiltz. He can act as your temporary agent. Of course, this signing fee will be deducted from your future salary. This is a player contract and a one-year temporary agent contract. With your current resume, this is what I think is the most satisfactory contract. Of course, if you are not sure, you can also find other brokers to negotiate with me.

Sir, I believe in you! You gave me this opportunity.

Without hesitation, Li Yu signed her Chinese name on two documents.

From this moment on, Li Yu has become a member of this century-old club and his first professional player contract: a one-year period, with a weekly salary of 3,000 euros, no salary floating clause, no goal and assist bonus, only 500 euros each.

This contract is not good, and it is only signed for one year. The meaning of trial is obvious. But for Li Yu, who is not well-known, the start is already very high. You should know that many young players sign contracts a week. Among them, talented players who get a formal youth contract are only a long-term contract with a weekly salary of about 100 euros, which is not guaranteed at all. Li Yu's bonus is less, but as long as he can prove his ability to get a chance to play, he will get an extra 1,000 euros per game. After all, there is basically no problem for Juventus to win in the Second Division.

"Then can I call you BOSS in the future?"

Li Yu said excitedly.

"You'd better call me sir. I'm not a boss. That's the name of the Premier League."

De Shang was also in a good mood and chatted with Li Yu casually, "I must remind you that playing football in Italy, you have to study Italian seriously from now on. In the future, you will share a room with your players during the game."

"Sir, I have experienced it these days! Hearing what you said, now that I have signed the contract, why do I think the housing treatment is not as good as before?

Li Yu nodded to understand, but immediately returned to the previous thick lines and said unobstructedly.

"You young man, did you disguise well before? Now how did I find out that you were still a thorny head? Listen, that's during the visiting team's game. I usually train in Turin. The club will rent an apartment for you and provide a Fiat car for free.

Deshang appreciated Li Yu's character and said half jokingly.

"Ha ha, let's forget the car! In our country, I'm not old enough to get a driver's license! Sir, when can I practice with the first team?

"Now the team is reserving physical fitness, and there should be no problem with your report on physical fitness. I will arrange two days for you. You can return to Turin in advance and go to the apartment to arrange your life. See you at the base in two days. I will officially introduce you to join, and you can leave now!"

After saying that, Deschamps began to clean up the documents on his desk.

"Okay, sir! I can't wait, so I'll go back to Turin first! By the way, sir, we, an agent, can also be called brother-in-law in China!"

Li Yu saw that Deshang Baizhi's face was a little red, obviously holding back his anger. She got up and quickly left the office, returned to her temporary room to pack her bags, and prepared to go to Turin to welcome her football life.
