Chapter 199 Beautiful Dreams
Long Bisheng failed to invite a guest in the end. In the quarter-finals on the 29th, the Chinese team unfortunately encountered No.1 in Group B and overwhelmed Brazil with a complete victory record. The England team led by Newcastle's Theo Walcott and Arsenal's only 15-year-old genius Shelwell.

After three consecutive fierce battles, the Chinese team, which was at a disadvantage both in terms of physical fitness and strength (due to qualifying early, England sent all substitutes in the last round of the group, and the main players rested for a whole week, while the Chinese team fought a fierce battle just four days ago). Although they fought tenaciously until the last moment, they were still defeated.

Relying on the goals of Long Bisheng and Fan Pengfei, the Chinese team once tenaciously equalized the score when they were behind by two goals, but their lack of physical fitness made them have a loophole in the final stage of the game. Walcott's lightning breakthrough helped Shelwell score the winning goal, and finally eliminated the Chinese team with a score of [-]-[-].

Perhaps because too much energy was spent on the Chinese team, England lost to the German team led by Toni Kroos in the quarter-finals three days later. Spain's main striker Bojan was sent off in the semi-finals, which directly led to a lack of attack. In the final, they were led by Nigeria to a penalty shootout, and finally lost [-]-[-].

The Chinese team, which lost the quarter-finals, finally ranked tenth in this competition. The Football Association is quite satisfied with this result. After all, it is quite rare to meet two top eight teams and a runner-up in a row.

Of course, when the players of the Chinese team learned of this result, they had already disbanded—the Chinese team had been disbanded on the spot the day after the loss. The teams of the players who played in Europe had already started the new season, and the leagues of the players who played in China were in full swing.

Long Bisheng also didn't have time to send his parents back to China, but Long Yuyun told him that he planned to set up a travel agency in XJ, which would be responsible for receiving some tourists who came to XJ.

More importantly, running such a travel agency that focuses on mountaineering and hiking allows Long Yuyun to continue to feel the atmosphere in the military camp-this is more important to Long Yuyun than making money.

Seeing that his father quickly found his life goal after retiring, Long Bisheng was also relieved, so he flew directly to Italy the next day to prepare for this season's competition.

****************************************
When Long Bisheng was still playing in the World Junior Championships, Naples had already played the first league game of the new season, and it was also the first Serie A game after seven years, playing against Cagliari at home.

Before the start of the season, Naples invested more than 2000 million euros in the transfer market. In the entire Serie A, this figure ranked third, second only to the defending champion Inter Milan and Juventus, which returned to Serie A and intends to revive its glory.

Despite a lot of investment, Naples did not bring in or transfer too many players. Only four players left. Bucky, who had been completely reduced to a substitute, was loaned to Siena. The upgrade heroes Pia and Trota were both loaned to Treviso. The price dug out the long-favored Slovakian midfielder Hamsik from Brescia, introduced midfielder Gargano from Uruguay Danubio, introduced defender Contini from Parma for 600 million yuan, and bought half of the ownership of midfielder Blasi and forward Sarajeta from Juventus at a price of 550 million yuan.Naples' actions in the summer were unanimously appreciated by Italian football experts. The team's actions were not large and did not affect the whole, but the midfield, defenders and forwards have all been considerably strengthened.

However, Naples, which had the lowest goal of reaching the top ten in Serie A, lost completely at home in the first league game of the new season-Matri's strong shot and Foggia's penalty helped the visiting team take away three points from the San Paolo Stadium, and Naples' two-year home unbeaten record came to an end after the first Serie A game.

The result of the defeat in the first game made Naples fans realize that Serie A is Serie A-although Naples has made great strides in Serie C and Serie B in the past two years, but for them, it is still just a new army in Serie A.

In the game against Cagliari, the striker combination sent by Rea was composed of Carajo and Sarajeta. Sarajeta performed well. After all, he is also a veteran Serie A player. Although he played as a substitute most of the time in Juventus-but Carajo's performance was not very good. Maybe he is used to playing under the cover of Long Bisheng, and he is not used to the cooperation of Sarajeta.

So in this case, after Rhea learned that the Chinese national team had been eliminated, he immediately started calling to urge Long Bisheng to return to Italy-Sousa was injured again in the Coppa Italia game, and now only Sarajeta is left as a center forward in the team.

************************************
Long Bisheng returned to Naples in a hurry. When he walked out of the airport, it was already the night of August 31. Chu Ran who came to pick him up did not take him to his original room in the club, but took him directly to an apartment by car.

"Brother Chu Ran, where are we going?" Long Bisheng was still confused after getting off the car.

Chu Ran took the luggage from him: "You are already a Serie A player now! You still live in the club, isn't it shabby? Let me tell you, the club has found you an apartment right next to where I live. We will be neighbors in the future!"

"I live alone in such a big apartment?" Long Bisheng was taken aback: "It's a bit wasteful, isn't it? I live in such a big house by myself?"

"What is this?" Chu Ran walked inside with Long Bisheng: "Your annual salary is only 20 euros. To be honest, the club treats you badly... This house is provided by the club, and they pay for everything. This is a bit of sincerity. Do you know? Among the players in the first team, which one doesn't get at least 60 to [-] yuan? The main reason is that you are on loan, and the income in your contract with Yun Jiatianyu is not high, so your agent sister can only get you such a contract, and the club feels embarrassed, so the club feels embarrassed. A house is provided for you!"

"I think 20 euros is a lot! It's equivalent to 200 million yuan. Not everyone who is the main player in the first team of the Chinese Super League can get this number." Long Bisheng didn't think there was anything unfair about the club.

"Just kidding, how big is the gap between the Chinese Super League and Serie A? How is the domestic consumption level, and what is the consumption level in Europe? Let me tell you, this is because Italy's economy is failing now, and the clubs are tightening their money. Otherwise, a Serie A player only gets 20 yuan, and others will laugh at him if he tells it! Serie A players can get this amount in the mid-90s. Ten years have passed, how much has the player's income increased compared to ten years ago?" Chu Ran sneered.

"How much has it increased?" Long Bisheng asked stupidly.

"Not much, more than ten times." Chu Ran shrugged his shoulders and put his luggage in the living room: "I heard from Zhu Guosheng and the others when I was in Yunjiatianyu before that when Yunjiatianyu was founded in 94, they each received a bonus of 600 yuan after winning a game. Everyone was so happy that they almost jumped up and almost regarded the boss as a god... Now? The number of sneezes is more than this!"

"Haha!" Long Bisheng couldn't help laughing.

After helping Long Bisheng settle down, Chu Ran left. Before leaving, he told Long Bisheng to have a good rest at night and to participate in training tomorrow—the day after tomorrow is the away game against Udinese.

He didn't ask Long Bisheng to take care of jet lag. Long Bisheng never seemed to be bothered by jet lag, and always fell asleep when he wanted to sleep. From this point of view, it was not unreasonable to be called "animal" when he was in football school.

After sending Chu Ran out of the house, Long Bisheng had time to take a good look at his new home.

It seems that the club has made great efforts to find this apartment. The whole room is well furnished, although it is not luxurious, but it has all the household facilities. If Long Bisheng asks for a daughter-in-law now, he can get married in this room immediately.

After looking at the balcony, kitchen, and bathroom, Long Bisheng returned to the bedroom. The Internet and TV in the room have all been wired up. As long as Long Bisheng takes out his laptop, he can immediately access the Internet.

I am really a Serie A player!Tsk tsk, look at this treatment, it's really not comparable to when I was in Serie B.

Long Bisheng lay on the bed with his hands behind his head and sighed contentedly.

When I was working hard in the football school, did I ever think that I would have today?At that time, maybe I was satisfied as long as I could find a position in a domestic club-now, maybe my dream has come true.

Before he knew it, Long Bisheng fell asleep. At night, he had a dream. He dreamed that he was wearing a Naples jersey, leading the team to defeat one opponent after another, ascending to the Serie A championship, and then the Champions Cup, World Cup...
