Chapter 20 Conflict at the Press Conference
Although Turin is located along the Mediterranean Sea, the cold wind from the Alps still has a great impact on the third largest industrial city in Italy. Although it is only August, the morning is already a bit cold, but fortunately, the dry climate does not Affect Xiangnan's good mood.

Early in the morning, I rushed to the University of Turin to complete the admission procedures. In the next two years, Xiang Nan will study the remaining courses at the University of Liege in Belgium. However, considering the specific issues of the competition, He still applied for a special day study, and only came to class occasionally, and then it would be enough to pass the exam. Most of the homework needed to be completed by Xiang Nan through self-study.

There are not many Chinese students at the University of Turin. I learned from the professor just now, and there are only three of them in total. Most of the Chinese students who come to Turin to study abroad go to engineering schools like Politecnico di Torino. From this, we can also see a clue that domestic education emphasizes science over literature.

Although my grandmother has always wanted to complete her studies, Xiang Nan is also very concerned about this in her heart. After all, the idea that being educated is the last word has a deep influence on the hearts of overseas Chinese.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, the Turin Sports News did not mention much about the match between the Torino youth team and the Inter Milan youth team yesterday. Now the eyes of the whole city are on the new Serie A season starting tomorrow. More precisely, it was placed on Juventus, who returned to Serie A after being tempered by the Italian second division. As for the Turin team, the attention was relatively reduced a lot, not to mention Not to mention the Turin youth team.

Xiang Nan saw a small piece of report on last night's game in a corner of the newspaper, and described the game in a few paragraphs; as for Xiang Nan's career debut and that wonderful goal, he just mentioned it and used The word is 'a strange Asian player'; on the contrary, unexpectedly, he wrote a lot about Thornton, the right midfielder who performed well in the Inter Milan youth team. There won't be too many good things to say, focusing on the bad foul and red card of the future star of Inter Milan. In the light of Thornton, it is not easy for Xiang Nan, an 'unfamiliar Asian player', to get some praise. word.

Anyway, as long as Inter Milan can embarrass things, it is now the favorite of Turin fans, especially Juventus fans; after the 'Phonegate' incident, the relationship between the two northern powerhouses has also dropped to a freezing point ;Especially for Inter Milan's poaching of Swedish forward Ibrahimovic and Vieira, Juventus fans have always hated their teeth, and their hatred for the two 'traitors' has caught up with Inter Milan. Hate it.As for the Serie A championship title that was worn on Inter Milan after it was taken back, there is no need to say anything about this hatred.

After waiting for a while, Brother Pino finally arrived in that old Audi. In the afternoon, the Turin Club will hold a special press conference on the Chinese boy joining Turin. Mr. 100 million, walk around Turin, and buy a few suits that fit. In Pino's words, the future king of Turin should not be too shabby, otherwise he, a Vicenza fellow, will lose face of.

I haven't visited much since I came to Turin from the south, so I took Pino, the 'gold medal guide', to browse around.

Like many cities in Europe, Turin does not have too many noisy hypermarkets, but only small shops embodying the spirit of originality. Quietness is one of the melodies of this Mediterranean city.Under the leadership of Pino, Xiangnan just went to the central square of Roman Avenue. This is the concentration of ancient buildings in Turin. It has the reputation of flexible fossils. Opened the art gallery, exhibiting ancient famous paintings.

Because they were thinking about the press conference in the afternoon, the two of them didn't go shopping much. As for the Baroque Bell Tower and the legendary Shroud of Jesus in Turin that Xiang Nan had always been obsessed with, they had to wait for the next time.

The scale of the press conference is not large. After all, the signing of a young player is not a big news in Serie A clubs.

The head coach of the first team, Novellino, has led the expedition to Rome. In this case, it stands to reason that the team's youth team coach Costacurta and the club's press officer Jim will be present at the press conference.

As expected, there were not many reporters present, only some local media in Turin. As for the authoritative media such as Gazzetta dello Sport, the joining of such young players could not attract their attention.

However, as soon as they entered the press conference venue, these local reporters quickly realized that this conference may not be so unusual. As for the colleagues of Gazzetta dello Sport, maybe they should regret not coming.Because, accompanying the newly joined Asian player to attend the press conference was the club president, Mr. Cairo, who should have appeared in the VIP seat in Rome to watch Turin's first-round game against Lazio.

It can make Mr. Cairo give up watching the game with the team and appear at the press conference. It seems that the Torino club team, an Asian player, still attaches great importance to it. Now it depends on whether the reporters can show their skills and dig out from Mr. Chairman It's a surprise.

"Mr. Cairo, hello, may I ask how the club considers signing Asian players again?" It was Matthew, a reporter from Turin Sports News, who spoke. The tone of the two words "Asia" has been emphasized, and the meaning is obvious. It can't be the product of some commercial cooperation, right?The performance of the Japanese player Masashi Daikoro in the warm-up match has already caused the Turin media to wear colored glasses on Asian players, and the "appearance agreement for Masashi Daikoro" signed between the Turin club and a Japanese company is now It was also noisy.

Cairo's impression of Matthew has never been very good. This Juventus fan has always written acrimonious articles, often ridiculing the Turin team, "Andre is a great boy, I believe he will bring great benefits to the club. It's a big help, no one can say what will happen after tomorrow's game."

The meaning of Cairo's answer is also very obvious. The result of tomorrow's game will be known tomorrow. Maybe if the Japanese player's performance is very good, I'm afraid you, Matthew, will sing his praises.

Matthew was ridiculed by Chairman Cairo, and just about to refute, the other colleagues here were unwilling. The original good atmosphere of the press conference was disrupted by this arrogant guy with a few words. That's it, it is estimated that after Matthew makes trouble for a while, Chairman Cairo will announce the end of the press conference early. Besides, today's topic is this Chinese player, not that Japanese guy.

"Dear Mr. Cairo, according to rumors, it was Mr. Albertini who recommended Andre to you. There are also rumors that Mr. Albertini spoke highly of Chinese boys and even used 'Neo Basten' Praise him, is there such a thing?" asked Simon Fa of the Turin Post.

Everyone cheered up, this is a surprise, today's drama is here, it depends on how Chairman Turin responds?
