Chapter 42 Respective Future

At the entrance of Zhu's restaurant, just before entering the door, Zhu Hantao was still worried, and told Reporter Nie and the others: "I hope you will not get too close to us later, and don't disturb our chat. If you have any questions, you can wait until after the end."

"Okay, you can rest assured, we have a sense of proportion."

Walking into the restaurant, the proprietress standing at the cashier at the entrance saw Zhu Hantao who had just entered, "Son, you're back, your friends have been waiting for you for a while," and then she saw the staff who followed in, "Are they...?"

"Oh, this is from Huaguo TV's sports channel. Come and do a program for me. You will follow me for a few days and shoot more material. Just pretend they don't exist."

"Oh? What you said is really ignorant. How can you say that people don't exist?" Lin Xiuyan turned her head and said to the program crew, "Everyone is tired after a busy day. Come on, find a table to sit down and rest. If you want to eat, I will ask the kitchen to make it for you right away."

"No need..." Auntie hadn't uttered the word "auntie", seeing that Ms. Lin's face was not right, Nie Yuhe quickly changed her words, "Sister, our work is not over yet, don't bother."

The proprietress's face changed from cloudy to sunny and said enthusiastically: "Then you have to eat, how can you let people work hungry."

The people in the program team talked about it, which made Lin Xiuyan give up the idea of ​​cooking for them immediately, "Then when you finish your work, I will treat you well. I will greet the guests first, so you can be more casual."

While eating, a large group of people came in suddenly and set up the machine. Fortunately, most of the guests in the restaurant were regular customers. Under Zhu Zeyu's publicity, he knew for a long time that his son is now playing for the Turin team. He is the striker who scored goals in these two games. He was not too curious about these things.

"Alas..." Zhu Hantao found friends and the others regardless of where he was, "Sorry, I'm a little late for training today, you guys have been waiting for me for a while."

"It's okay, Auntie served us some fried shrimp crackers and peanuts first, and chatted while eating. If I wait for you, I will be in a hurry." Daniel said and stuffed another piece into his mouth.

It’s interesting to say that there used to be a ranking that I don’t know how reliable it is. Among the top ten Chinese dishes that Italians like most, fried shrimp chips, which are obviously just a snack for children, rank fourth. Behind it are more famous dishes such as Kung Pao Chicken and BJ’s Roast Duck.

But what is certain is that in many Chinese restaurants in Italy, a shrimp cracker served before the meal is the favorite of many people.

"We haven't seen each other for more than a week, so it seems like it's been a long time." Zhu Hantao said with a happy smile when he saw his friends.

"Hmm...maybe it's been a long time since two games have passed?" Luka thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.

"It seems quite reasonable. By the way, how is your game? I heard you won?" Zhu Hantao is busy with training and competition these days, and he still forgot to care about the situation of the youth team.

"That's right, do you think we can do without you? We can still win without you."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, one win and one tie in two games, and it's not due to him, Daniel, it should be coach Pigino's ability."

"Yes, we played Parma and Napoli this week, one with Dominique and one with Loreto."

The league of the youth team is not related to the schedule of the first team, but each round of Serie A is held one or two days before Serie A.

"Oh? You also played against Parma, I guess, it must be the draw when Loreto played, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"By the way, Zhu, why didn't Rosina play in the last game? Was he injured?"

"That's not true. As for why he didn't play in the last game, don't ask me. I don't know. You might as well ask Coach Novellino directly. Anyway, I dare not ask."

"That's weird. If he is on the court, if he assists you and scores another goal, maybe we can win the game."

"Hahaha, who knows," Zhu Hantao noticed that something was wrong with Capelupo, "Stefano, why are you silent? Does it look like you have something on your mind?"

"Uh, is it so obvious?" Capelupo finally spoke, "I just feel a little confused about the future."

Capelupo, who will be 19 years old in a few months, may be time to start thinking about his way out. If he has no chance to enter the Turin first team, he will have to start looking for a home.

As he said that, he lowered his head and smiled helplessly, "Do you know how much I envy you? I also want to play for the Turin team in my dreams."

"Actually, my girlfriend also told me that I hope I can find a serious job, but I have been playing football for so many years, and I only know how to play football. What can I do?" Luca also said.

Even Daniel, who has always been an optimist, fell silent. Zhu Hantao was about to say something to cheer up the atmosphere, when Daniel suddenly said, "I've already contacted him, and I'm leaving this year, to Javino Keazze."

Zhu Hantao and others:? ? ?
"Where is that?" Zhu Hantao asked for everyone.

"It's a third-tier team. It's semi-professional. It's right next to Turin. It's very close. They offered me a contract. I discussed it with my family. I'll play for a while. If it doesn't work, maybe I'll find a class."

After Daniel finished speaking, several people suddenly became more silent. Zhu Hantao glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he was filming, "Oh, why is the atmosphere so heavy all of a sudden when we had a happy dinner together today? Have you ordered yet? Eat first, and then talk about it when you're full."

"Hahaha, yes, don't talk about this before eating, it will affect your appetite."

That is to say, but after the table of good dishes prepared by Lao Zhu was served, the several people who had their own concerns still felt the same. It was the first time that Daniel couldn't even eat his favorite dishes.

"Hurry up, take more pictures, and take pictures of everyone's expressions." Although I don't know what happened to Zhu Hantao, I will ask him after eating, anyway, it is correct to take down the pictures first.

Daniel Bernardo, Luca Avanzi and Stefano Capelupo, don't look at the fact that they are playing in full swing in the youth team. If nothing happens, the three of them will leave the Turin youth team soon.

I don’t want to leave. I’m old, and then except for Capelupo who still insists on football and is mixed in the Italian low-level leagues. After realizing that they have no future, Daniel and Luca quickly and decisively gave up football. They don’t know where they are going. Maybe they really returned to the society and found a class.

Just like a piece of news some time ago, a teenage youth training player lost hope because he was terminated by the club. He couldn't think about choosing to end his life for a while, which made people feel embarrassed.

Perhaps for them, football is the only thing in their lives. They really don’t know anything except playing football. Their childhood dream is to become a professional football star. They practice boring training and competitions every day.

Professional football is a process of big waves washing the sand. We ordinary fans can only see the most glamorous stars at the top, and there are countless players who have experienced years of sweat and then been ruthlessly eliminated.

Zhu Hantao was the only youngest among them who had a successful career. At this time, he didn't know what to say, as if what he said was inappropriate, so he could only silently eat the boiled chicken breast in his bowl.

The three of them looked at Zhu Hantao, and looked at the dishes in front of them. The fried chicken and roast duck immediately became stale. Several people shook their heads and smiled at each other. Daniel put down his chopsticks, "We are not as good as you, you have to keep going. Wait until the day you win the golden ball, and when I brag to others in the future, I can still talk about it. I used to be your good friend and played football together."

"Then look at their surprised expressions and laugh?" Luca asked with a smile.

"Hmm... Aren't you all doing well now? If you work hard, even if you can't play Serie A, Serie B should be fine, right?" Zhu Hantao still didn't understand that they were considered excellent players in the Turin youth team, so they wouldn't face the problem of playing without the ball all of a sudden.

"It's not that simple. You don't know how many people come up to the lower echelons every year. Besides, what is the level of the youth training of the Turin team? You came from Juventus. Although you don't want to admit it, can you compare with others?"

"Yeah, the youth training centers, facilities, equipment, and coaching levels of big teams are all much better than ours. For example, the one at Inter Milan we went to last time...what's that about?"

"You mean the Farcetti Youth Training Base?"

"Yeah, I also want to train and play football under that kind of conditions. And even if they don't produce a player who can play in Serie A in a year, right?"

"But there are only a few big teams, and it's not like other teams haven't produced stars."

"It's not that easy. There won't be a few people in a year. The probability is too low, and our team has already produced one of you. Anyway, there is no hope for the few of us."

Reality is often cruel, and it might be a good thing for the three of them to have self-knowledge.

"Don't be too pessimistic. If we can play football, let's work hard together. After all, you all still love football, don't you?"

"Love... football? Thank you, Zhu, I won't give up easily!"

"No, what I mean is that after you leave professional football, you can continue to support me, watch my games, watch me run on the green field, even if I play for you. Hahahahaha."

"Damn it, you bastard." Without saying a word, Daniel rushed towards Zhu Hantao and locked Zhu Hantao's throat.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Although I don't know why a very ordinary gathering of friends developed in a strange direction, the few of them finally ate and drank well.

"Actually, if it wasn't for you, I might continue to stay in the youth team heartlessly until I was 19 years old. If the team didn't renew my contract, I would find a way to find a low-level team. I played for a few years and hit the south wall before I realized the reality."

"Yeah, Zhu, do you know how complicated it is when you look at your friends who have entered the first team like a rocket and can still perform so well, while you are still struggling in the youth team game?"

"Leave us alone, Zhu, you have to work hard, we are all loyal to the Torino team, if you don't kick us well, we will come here to block your door."

"Yes! Come to block your door!"

Zhu Hantao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He seemed to feel better after seeing his friends say what was in his heart, so he felt relieved, "Don't worry, I won't let you down. Daniel, just wait for me to give you the golden ball as a bragging point."

"Hahahaha, okay, I'll wait."

But Zhu Hantao didn't know that it would not be easy to get together like this in the future, and the distance between him and his friends would eventually become farther and farther away.

Finally, when Zhu Hantao and the others left, Reporter Nie rushed over impatiently, holding up the microphone, "Are those all your friends? What did you talk about just now? Why did you seem to be in a low mood for a while? Do you only eat these all the time? Or is it just because we are filming today?"

Zhu Hantao:? ? ?
