Early morning on December 25th.
There was a knock on the door.
Vialli came to give Dejan Lu several gifts, all of which were entrusted by his teammates.
Roberto Mancini's hometown is near Rome, so he took a plane and left Genoa in advance.
Vialli was born in Cremona, just like Lombardy region. Even if he drove home late, he would be able to catch up and help his mother cook.
"I really don't want to go home."
After entering the house, Vialli sighed and said, "Every time I go back, you always ask me when I will get married. I'm just better at breaking up."
"You'll get married sooner or later, sooner or later."
Dejan Lu said.
He remembered that Vialli later got married, but there was not much news about him.
There is not much news in the life of this rich second generation, but he was unexpectedly urged to get married.
Italy This aspect is really similar to that in China, and people in Italy generally get married earlier than in China.
"Who knows, I am always worried that I will be cheated." Vialli said, "Now I can spend money to buy movie peripherals that I like and collect them. When I think of giving half of them to others in a divorce, I get very worried. After all, those things are out of print."
"You are not Marco. I believe you can distinguish between good people and bad people."
Dejan Lu handed him a cup of green tea and said.
This is the first time he has seen someone like Lanna.
"How are you? You've been very popular recently, especially the British the Royal Family, who also praised you very much." Vialli asked casually.
Dejan Lu said with a wry smile, "I'm not a star. Athletes still have to let their results speak for themselves."
Mantovani called Mantovani before and Dejan Lu discussed this matter with him. He should try to keep a low profile during this period of time. As for the endorsement fees, they will definitely increase.
If you don't have a championship, you still don't have the confidence, and being too high-profile can only make people annoying.
After a few seasons and a few championships, the fans can call him whatever they want.
"You are really a terrible guy. You are so sober. It seems I don't need to remind you." Vialli exclaimed, "If it were Roberto, he would love to be on TV every day."
"His father was too strict, so he always wanted to prove to his father how successful he was." Dejan Lu said.
Roberto Mancini's father is similar to his grandson's father.
Although he is a carpenter by profession and not a coach, he still helped Roberto Mancini a lot. Italy Traditional parents are similar to old-fashioned parents in China. They are willing to support their children, but they are not very expressive. They must be the more strict ones at home. Roberto Mancini I suffered a lot in training when I was a child.
Dejan Lu wondered if his father was holding a table leg to supervise his training, and was about to beat him.
That's why Roberto Mancini's temper is so weird.
He likes to express himself but is repressed, has a bad temper and is proud. From his favorite literary, film and television works, we can also see his yearning for clever detectives and personal heroism.
The lack of restraint in eating sweets is probably due to restrictions imposed in childhood.
Combined with his occasional revelations about his childhood, it is easy to deduce what kind of person his father, Aldo Roberto Mancini, is. Italy players are generally more influenced by their families.
Roberto Mancini has no bad habits, which shows that Aldo Roberto Mancini is quite successful.
If Cassano had such a father, he might really become the new Baggio.
Not long after Vialli was sent away, Mantovani's grandson came to the door.
"I'm just here to help deliver gifts. Grandpa has prepared gifts for every first-team player." He put down his things and prepared to leave.
"Wait."
Dejan Lu casually took a bag of tea and handed it to him and said, "This is for Paolo. It is very good black tea."
"Okay, grandpa will be happy."
"What are Enrico busy with recently?"
"I don't know, my dad is very busy anyway." Vincenzo Mantovani said standing at the door.
After chatting for a few words, he ran away.
It is estimated that the old chairman gave him a lot of money for running errands.
It's obviously about the same size as Dejan the Football King, but it's not stable at all.
The father and son are far worse than the old chairman.
I visited Dejan Lu at the old chairman's house before and met Enrico·Mantovani. After a brief chat, I found that his personality is like an FM player and discusses the value of players as commodities, just like Ed Woodward of Manchester United. I guess he can chat with people like Pozzo family.
It wasn't until after five o'clock that the last wave of guests were sent away, and everything became quiet.
Monica prepared a lot of dishes, and the two of them had a quiet Christmas.
In the evening, the two of them watched the video tape of "Crazy Christmas Holiday" and went to bed early. Roberto Mancini always felt that they lacked motivation to exercise even though Roberto Mancini and his wife were away.
Fortunately, the more than ten days of vacation passed quickly.
On the 27th, teammates returned to Genoa one after another.
Dejan Lu once again received many gifts, all of which were local specialties from his teammates' hometowns. It was like the winter vacation in college was over. From cheese to ham, from wool scarves to porcelain, there was really everything.
On the training ground.
"You also know that the tradition in my country is different from Italy. We will repent to God in Christmas." Boskov looked at the players and said, "You'd better not indulge yourself too much, otherwise I will let you know what regret means after the physical examination!"
It was found that only one or two players were nervous, and Boskov was quite satisfied.
The team is generally made up of young people and lack self-control. Now it seems that the situation is better than he thought.
"Okay, go for a physical examination. I will arrange tomorrow's starting lineup based on your physical condition." Boskov waved away.
Tomorrow is the last game of 1989.
On December 29, Samp played against Cremonese at home.
Dejan Lu failed to make the roster.
Opposite the favorites for relegation, Samp still made a certain degree of rotation.
But the result was not as good as expected. The two teams scored goals before injury time. Sampdoria failed to win the last game in 1989.
Boskov is very annoyed because of this matter.
He did not underestimate his opponents.
But the strength gap between the two sides is very large.
Cremonese is one of the few teams in Serie A without any big-name stars.
For example, the bottom-ranked Ascoli team has the former Champions League top scorer and Yugoslavia international Borislav Cvetkovic.
Facing such a team and scoring one less point may lead to some variables.
So the whole team had their holidays canceled.
Dejan Lu was no exception. He went to Boskov to tell him about it.
First, he took the vacation in advance, and now if he is not allowed to cancel the vacation together, then this privilege will be too obvious, and it will easily make his teammates feel distant. This is not what Dejan Lu wants.
"It's already 1990, and we're still practicing extra time."
Dossena complained.
As a father, he didn't dare to let his son know about this, and he always felt a little embarrassed when he was punished.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. The more you train, the easier it will be during the game. Practice every move many times and study the opponent's playing habits. Then we can win everything. One less day off will not kill anyone, but a few more hours of training will increase the hope of winning... The boss will definitely say so."
Chiesa said in a strange voice.
He recently made a new girlfriend, and he wants to be with her 24 hours a day.
Missing a day off was extremely difficult for him.
Vialli curled his lips behind him.
Dejan Lu and others noticed that Boskov had caught up with their jogging team.
Pari immediately asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"
"Of course the holidays cannot be reduced, we are very tired. We also need to allocate more tickets. My girlfriend has many relatives. Recently I am going to renew my contract with the team. It would be great if they could provide me with a house. Renting a house outside always makes it feel less like home. The team now We are not short of money, we even have airline sponsorship. How about we discuss with them to provide a certain number of free first-class flights to the families of the first team every year? If possible, I also want some shopping cards for Milan shopping malls. Women always like to buy those leather bags, don't they?
Chiesa was still making a wish, but he felt that his teammates were not keeping up with him.
When he looked back, he found that everyone else was standing there, and beside him was the first-team coach Boskov.
"... Boss" Chiesa swallowed and tried hard to keep his voice from shaking.
Boskov clapped with a smile on his face and said, "Enrico's request is not too much. Do you others have any wishes that you want most?"
"It would be nice if I didn't have to wash my sneakers myself." Roberto Mancini said.
"Okay, then let's satisfy the better players first. When Enrico becomes the best player in Serie A, your wish will also come true. But now you need to hone yourself first. In the next month, Enrico will be responsible for cleaning the shoes of the first team." Boskov said.
Chiesa looked down at the feet of his teammates and was about to cry. When he raised his head, he realized that Genoa was snowing.
