Green Field Intelligence Engine System Upgrade, Activating [Smart AI Cloud Training]!

A heart pounding with excitement!

A hand trembling with nerves!

Under the watchful gaze of head coach Mancini.

Beneath a wall-sized poster of the 2010 treble-winning team lifting the trophy.

Tang Long solemnly signed his name on the first-team professional contract.

Five years, an annual salary of 400,000 after tax—this was the base salary for the first team.

The moment his pen touched the paper, a familiar voice echoed in his mind!

"Congratulations to the host for signing a first-team professional contract with Inter Milan!"

"Green Field Intelligence Engine System upgrading!"

"Basic Level—Intermediate!"

"Unlocking [Smart AI Cloud Training Mode] now!"

Mancini tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, looking at Tang Long with a meaningful gaze.

From this moment on, Tang Long was his protégé within the locker room.

He was also the eyes and ears he had planted inside the team.

"Young man, play well. I have high hopes for you!"

"Mr. Coach, I will definitely train hard and live up to your guidance!"

At Mancini's instruction.

The official Inter Milan website featured a special news story on its homepage.

Was an interview with Mancini from Inter TV.

"Why choose Tang Long? Because I value his potential. In my opinion, Tang already possesses the strength to play in Serie A."

"An assist in the last match? Yes, he is a great help to the team, which is the direct reason I promoted him to the first team. I am very grateful to him."

"Tang Long's characteristics? In my view, Tang is a very well-rounded player capable of playing multiple positions in the midfield and attack."

"How many opportunities will he get? I must emphasize that under my coaching, everyone's opportunities are equal. Inter Milan is a fair football stage, just like the slogan from the club's founders over a hundred years ago: We are brothers of the world!"

The news of Tang Long officially signing with the first team spread back to China via the internet immediately.

This time, Chinese fans were even more shocked!

Even more shocked than they were by Tang Long's Serie A debut!

"Is this pace too fast? I thought this was just a routine one-day Serie A experience for a youth player!"

"It seems Mancini has been watching Tang Long for a long time. He trusts Tang's strength!"

"Signing a professional contract is definitely a great thing for Tang Long. Although it's expected that he won't get much playing time in upcoming matches, being able to train and play with first-team stars will definitely be a catalyst for Tang Long's growth!"

"Hahaha, although I'm a Premier League fan, I finally have the motivation to stay up late to watch Serie A."

However, quite a few people expressed deep skepticism about this signing!

In fact, many Chinese fans have a realistic grasp of the strength of their own players.

They are far from being delusional.

Some said that the reason Tang Long was promoted from an obscure youth player to the first team was entirely because the Inter Milan club valued the vast Chinese market behind him!

"I'll bet on it here: Tang Long's signing is a purely commercial move!"

Just wait and see. Soon, Inter Milan's viewership in China will skyrocket, and Chinese sponsors will be tripping over themselves to deliver money!

There must be an agent's scheme behind this, and in a year, he'll be exported back to the domestic league, bought back for 100 million RMB—I've already written the script, you're welcome.

Still trying to trick me into watching Serie A in the middle of the night? Signing a marketing-type player, how boring, sigh!

When will our Chinese players be like Nagatomo Yuto, relying on solid, hard-earned strength to become a starter in the top five leagues!"

Tang Long returned to the youth team immediately to say goodbye to his teammates.

His youth teammates looked at him with sour expressions.

Head coach Laino offered only a lukewarm greeting.

Only the appreciative assistant coach Chivu pulled Tang Long aside to say:

"In a European giant like Inter Milan, the relationships in the locker room are incredibly complex. As a newcomer, it's best not to get involved in anything or pick sides. Just train hard and cherish this opportunity. Not everyone gets the experience of playing for a giant like Inter."

Chivu said that if he encountered any difficulties, he could talk to Zanetti.

"Zanetti will always be my captain. He is a good man; you can confide in him, and he can help you.

Tang, your strength is your understanding of football, but your fundamentals are still very weak. If possible, do extra training after the sessions!

You are a first-team player now; don't care about the strange looks from others."

"Remember this one thing: in the world of football, no one cares about your skin color, nationality, or background. If you want to be admired by thousands, the only way is to have outstanding skills!"

Tang Long took the teachings of his mentor Chivu to heart.

And so, the moment he moved into the first-team dormitory.

He couldn't wait to awaken the Green Field Intelligence Engine System.

Rubbing his hands together, he entered the [Smart AI Automatic Training Ground]!

According to the system's prompt.

This was the reward for the Green Field Intelligence Engine System reaching the intermediate level.

Its feature was the ability to simulate training within the brain through the Smart AI!

Ordinary players who want to train must put in the physical effort, sweating it out on the pitch or in the gym.

Some even spend exorbitant amounts of money to hire private coaches to tutor them on their weaknesses.

But after Tang Long entered the [Smart AI Automatic Training Ground], he only needed to sit still to perform [Cloud Training] in his brain!

The progress made during [Cloud Training] was not only fast and efficient, but it could also be directly reflected in Tang Long's physical body.

In short.

Other players start to feel exhausted after two or three hours of training, and their brains begin to produce resistance.

But as for Tang Long, aside from his daily training, he could be training at any time, anywhere!

And it wouldn't cost him a single bit of physical stamina.

His football skills would grow imperceptibly.

"The Smart AI Automatic Training Ground has been activated. Please select a training program, Host!"

"Alright, let's start with passing training!"

Tang Long entered a simulated training session, and he was surprised to find a row of people standing in front of him!

Pirlo, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta...

These people had dull eyes, staring at Tang Long blankly like robots.

Tang Long walked up and pinched the cheeks of these world-class passing masters.

I'll be damned, they felt just like real people~

"Please select a passing partner for the training, Host!"

Good heavens!

Cloud training was one thing.

But there was also cloud sparring!

And if the sparring wasn't enough, it was with the world's top-tier passing masters.

In the real world, this kind of treatment would be nothing but a pipe dream!

"It's you, Iniesta. Let's start with short passing!"

Tang Long selected the Barca and Spanish midfielder Iniesta.
