Chapter 118: The ancient city of Rome ignites the derby war!
In order to strengthen the communication between Chen Xiaoliang and his teammates, Mourinho plans to ask the club to hire an Italian teacher for him.
After hearing this, Reese took the initiative to take on the job as he had a perfect candidate.
Chen Xiaoliang felt that this was a waste of time. He told Mourinho that if he talked more with other teammates, he would soon be able to master basic daily communication. However, Mourinho was obviously not satisfied with "soon", he wanted it to be even faster.
So Chen Xiaoliang had to accept it. He couldn't tell Mourinho right away that he was 100% proficient in all foreign languages...
When it was time for class, Reese brought the teacher to Chen Xiaoliang's residence.
Erica was injured in training, and Helena rushed back to Germany and has not been at home for the past few days.
After Chen Xiaoliang opened the door, huh?
Um?!
She holds a few books on her chest, has short hair, and light makeup that perfectly highlights her 360° beauty!
The key is still a red countryman?
No, no, no, a gentleman starts from emotion and stops within propriety, you need to be calm, calm down.
Then the two of them started communicating in Chinese.
Reese was very curious, how did Chen Xiaoliang know that she was from Hongguo, and not Korean or Xiaori?
Chen Xiaoliang told him that just as the Chinese people in Hong Kong could not distinguish foreigners from different European countries, foreigners could not distinguish the characteristics of Asians. In the eyes of the Chinese people themselves, there were still obvious differences between Koreans and ordinary people.
Chen Xiaoliang asked him where he got this person from. Reese laughed and said that she was the daughter of the landlord of this house. Many houses in this area, including the one rented by Wu Lei, belonged to their family.
The teacher introduced herself. Her name is Wu Mi. She is from Hong Kong. Her family owns a shipping company specializing in maritime trade and also runs a huge shopping mall in Hong Kong. She settled in Rome with her parents when she was in middle school and is now a sophomore at the University of Rome.
When fellow villagers met, after a few interactions, Reese soon became a light bulb and consciously walked to the yard to continue his endless telephone business.
Teacher Wu's class officially began. Chen Xiaoliang pretended to know nothing about Italian. Wu Mi then opened the book and started teaching from the pronunciation of the most basic 21 letters and 5 foreign letters.
She was surprised to find that Chen Xiaoliang could always learn everything quickly after being taught once!
One becomes more excited the more he teaches, and the other becomes more motivated the more he learns. They both seem very motivated and enthusiastic.
Soon the two-hour class was over.
Both of them still felt a little unsatisfied.
David drove Teacher Wu away, and Reese went back to the house and asked, "How is it, did I find a good teacher?"
Chen Xiaoliang nodded: "It's really good."
"Wow, she's got curves in all the right places, and a great body. And she doesn't have to pay. Her dad said he wanted her to come out and exercise."
"What the hell, Mr. Reese...what's going on in your head?"
"Ahem, I meant well-organized and eloquent... You heard it wrong... By the way, her father is a super-rich man. In your Red Country, he is known as a man with great connections. He especially likes football. When he heard that you were going to be your Italian teacher, he agreed immediately."
"Oh? Really? Your circle of friends is getting more and more awesome now."
Reese smiled proudly: "That's not the case, but it's all thanks to you."
Do you have everything?
He asked Riise if Director Zhu from the Red Country Football Association had contacted him recently. Riise said that he had contacted him a few times, all of which wanted Chen Xiaoliang to do some endorsement work, but he had always evaded the question.
Chen Xiaoliang was thinking about something silently in his heart and said no more.
Although sports media in European countries are still paying attention to the news of Ronaldo's transfer and Mourinho's match against Tottenham, in Rome, another thing has been put on the schedule of fans in the past few days.
That is the second round of the league, the city derby between Roma and Lazio!
In Europe, there are many city derbies that are talked about by fans around the world, including the Manchester derby that determines the color of the city sky, the Madrid derby that becomes more and more exciting with the rise of Atletico Madrid, the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, and the Glasgow derby in which Chen Xiaoliang personally participated.
But there are two well-known derbies that are slightly different, namely the Milan derby and the Rome derby. Not only are the two teams in the same city, they also share the same home stadium!
This also makes the Rome derby one of the most popular derby games in Europe.
In 1927, three local clubs in Rome merged to form Roma Football Club. At that time, another football club in Rome, Lazio, refused to merge. The conflict between the two clubs began and lasted for nearly a hundred years!
Similar to the Glasgow derby, which involves not only football but also religion, Roma supporters mostly live in the southern part of Rome, are relatively poor economically, and tend to be left-wing politically;
Lazio's supporters mostly live in the north of Rome, are relatively wealthy and tend to support the right wing.
Therefore, this derby has long transcended the meaning of competitive sports where passionate clashes are held after dinner. It is also a battle of faith to prove who is the master of this city and what kind of life is the future of this city.
For Mourinho and his players, defeating Trabzonspor in two rounds to advance to the Europa League group stage was not even an appetizer, but barely a piece of free bread before the meal. If they can't even finish it, they can forget about having dinner later.
Although it was wonderful to defeat the Fiorentina, Fiorentina, which ranked 13th last season, is no longer a competitor of Roma.
Last season, Lazio actually finished 6th in the league with a 6-point advantage over Roma and successfully advanced to the Europa League, which was a great humiliation for Roma fans.
For Roma fans, they can lose the league, but Lazio must die!
The remaining two days of training time are particularly precious to Mourinho.
Chen Xiaoliang has not only devoted himself to the team training in the past few days, but also continued training after returning home. He even used 3 physical recovery cards to add 10 hours of training time.
He originally thought that his physical attributes, which were basically over 15, were enough to gain a foothold in Serie A, but in the first round of games, he was shocked by the abilities of Vlahovic and Milenkovic , especially Milenkovic's physical fitness.
Attributes above 15 would require 80 hours of training to increase, and he felt that time was running out.
On August 29, the weather in Rome, located on the Mediterranean coast, was still pleasant.
This legendary city that has admired duels since ancient times is about to usher in their craziest moment!
In view of Chen Xiaoliang's further popularity in the new season and the large number of Mourinho fans in China, Penguin Sports specially sent part-time reporters Qing Shu and Wang Tao in Europe to Rome for live broadcast.
Not only was there a live broadcast, but in order to create an atmosphere before the derby, they also conducted street interviews with fans who went to watch the game in Rome and around the Olympic Stadium before the game started, and they also wanted to see how popular Chen Xiaoliang is in Rome.
This is the first outdoor live broadcast in the history of Penguin Sports.
The fans also opened the APP early and nodded proudly when they saw the local foreigners praising the strong performance of the Reds on the court.
