Chapter 146 Chu Ran's Visit
The roaring plane landed at Capotegino Airport in Naples. Long Bisheng looked at the blue sky outside the window with his eyes open, full of excitement.

Naples, in the usual sense, is regarded as the southern city of Italy. Although the city is located in the middle of the Italian map, it looks like the tibia part in the middle of the calf from the map (this part is usually not used for playing football, but relying on this part to stand firm).Neapolitans are famous all over the world for their enthusiastic folk songs. Laziness in life and focus on happiness are the characteristics of Neapolitans-"What you have to do today, do it tomorrow, maybe you don't need to do it tomorrow..."

This attitude towards life does not affect the love of football people in Naples. Naples has the fourth largest football city in Serie A in Italy except Milan and Rome. The first three cities have two teams with a long history. The team has a huge fan base, and Naples has only one team in Naples!Perhaps it is for this reason that no club can break the Serie A attendance record of 4 people created by Naples in the match against Perugia on October 1979, 10!Of course, there is also Maradona, the ball king has become a symbol of the city...

Even in Serie A games, Naples still maintains a record of more than 3 fans per game. Even in the whole of Italy, only the giants of Serie A, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Roma, have more spectators per game than Naples!The enthusiasm of Naples fans for football can be seen - considering that this number has appeared in the economic downturn in the whole of Italy, it is even more commendable.

All Naples people are optimistic about the prospects of their team. Although they are playing in Serie C, after having a sufficient economic foundation and huge fan support, Naples should no longer worry about the economy!

Before the start of this season, the new boss Laurentiis increased his investment in Naples to 5000 million euros-this is a terrifying figure. Although not completely invested in the transfer market, including the acquisition of Naples clubs, investment in training facilities and other large investments, but there are also powerful players such as Carajo, Fontana and Trota to join, plus the original team, Chinese goalkeeper Chu Ran on loan from Inter Milan, Naples is outstanding in Serie C, but The head coach Rea is not satisfied. In his opinion, the team's forward line needs to be strengthened. The only reliable center forward who is responsible for the task of destroying the city is the Argentine Robert Sosa. A person he recommended six months ago, the Chinese striker Long Bisheng.

After investigating the situation of Long Bisheng, Rea quickly made a decision—young, powerful, and low price—such a player that no team would mind acquiring. Besides, what he wanted was just a substitute. Players who are too strong may not be willing to come, and they will cause conflicts in the locker room. Such a young player with potential seems to be more suitable.

In this way, Long Bisheng came to Naples.

******************************************
Led by the staff who came to pick up the plane, Long Bisheng met the general manager of the club Marino and the head coach Rea. Marino is a middle-aged man over 20 years old. As early as [-] years ago in the era of Maradona, he served as the manager of Naples. Later, he served as the manager of teams such as Pescara, Rome and Udinese. The land of Carayo, Fontana and Trota were all introduced by him.

Rea is already over 35 years old. After taking over the club at the beginning of this season, he brought out the reorganized team with a tacit understanding. In the 2 league rounds that have been played, he has 60 wins, [-] draws and [-] loss, ranking first in the standings with [-] points, three points ahead of No.[-] Frosinone.Although he is over [-] years old, he still has plenty of energy and a violent temper-his goal is the Spanish coach Aragones, a hot old man known as the "Iron Coach".

The next step is the physical examination, which is the last procedure before signing the contract. Of course, Long Bisheng does not need to worry about this. He has always been as strong as a cow, and his physique is not inferior to Europeans at all.

Although Rhea has no immediate plans to let Long Bisheng play in the league, he will not refuse to have one more substitute who can play at any time—all coaches will not refuse.

"Okay, Long... must win." After Long Bisheng signed the contract, Rhea shouted the name that made him feel a little awkward: "The team's training camp will start in three days... The club has arranged accommodation for you, and there is a tour guide accompanying you... You can take a stroll in Naples these few days and see this beautiful city."

After listening to the words translated by Yunjia Tianyu's staff, Long Bisheng nodded, and replied in the Italian he had been cramming for the past few days: "Okay, sir."

"Very good, the Chinese players I met are always used to adapting to the new life ahead of time... this is very important." Reya smiled, patted Long Bisheng on the shoulder, and walked out.

The accommodation that Naples arranged for Long Bisheng was very simple. It was just a separate apartment in a house in the club. Long Bisheng was also very satisfied with this. He was more used to living in the club, whether it was training or other things, it would be more convenient.

After helping Long Bisheng get settled, Ning Xi smiled and said to Long Bisheng, "Okay, I'm going back to China today... You have to work hard here. If you perform well this half season, I will try to get you a better contract next season."

"Then... thank you." Long Bisheng said to Ning Xi.

"Why are you being polite, the more you earn, the more I earn." Ning Xi laughed, "You have to work hard, I will depend on you to make a fortune in the future."

"Well... I have a present for you." Long Bisheng turned around and took out a box from his luggage, and handed it to Ning Xi: "I bought this a few days ago."

Ning Xi took the box and said with a smile as she picked it up, "So you think of giving me a present? And it's so formal... This is..."

Ning Xi stared blankly at a beautiful new mobile phone in the box. Long Bisheng explained from the side, "I see that you don't even have a mobile phone, which is really inconvenient, so I bought one when I was shopping with Brother Cheng two days ago... It's quite cheap to buy a mobile phone in Europe, much cheaper than in China."

"Of course, there will be a tax cut." Ning Xi was moved in her heart, but her face remained calm: "You have a conscience, remember me, and I will call you often from now on! But you have to reimburse me for the phone bill! Domestic calls to Europe are very expensive..."

"It's better for me to make a call for you. I heard that long-distance calls in Europe are cheaper." Long Bisheng said heartbroken.

Ning Xi's silver bell-like laughter immediately resounded in the room.

****************************************
That night, Long Bisheng didn't go to bed until ten o'clock—it's not so easy to reverse the jet lag. Although he still went to bed at ten o'clock, when it was eight o'clock the next morning, he was still sleepy and couldn't get up.

In the end, he was awakened by a sudden violent knock on the door. Long Bisheng got up from the bed in a dazed state. His mind was in a mess. He didn't realize that this place was in Naples. He didn't seem to know many people here, so he just opened the door.

When he saw a man dressed in colorful clothes standing at his door, Long Bisheng realized that it seemed dangerous for him to open the door so recklessly. Fortunately, the guy in front of him was a head shorter than himself. Although he didn't look like a nice guy in his clothes, Long Bisheng felt that he could handle it...

The people standing in front of the door were also taken aback by Long Bisheng. He had heard that this newcomer was very tall, but he didn't expect him to be so tall...

The two stared at each other for a while, Long Bisheng came back to his senses first, frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for you." The visitor pursed his lips and replied, "Are you a dragon who must win?"

"I am, you are..." Long Bisheng didn't realize that the other party was also speaking Chinese, so he asked back.

The visitor pursed his mouth again, it seemed that his compatriot and junior brother were a little dull, and he didn't even know himself.

"I'm Chu Ran." Chu Ran sighed and announced his family name.

"Chu Ran? Who is Chu Ran?" Long Bisheng, who was still awake, asked subconsciously.

Chu Ran almost fainted, what happened to Long Bisheng?It's fine if you don't know yourself, doesn't he know that the next period of time will help him integrate into the team and life in Italy faster?Coach Ding Yu called to ask him to help Long Bisheng, and said that he admired this student very much. It was hard for Chu Ran to believe that this dull guy in front of him would be appreciated by Coach Ding Yu.

PS: Life in Italy is about to begin. Please look forward to how Long Bisheng will go in the future.
