No. 4 Can't wait

The first meeting with my future team-mates was surprisingly pleasant, and everyone cared about this young man who had just arrived in Italy, at least the first meeting, and we both felt a completely different feeling from the impact.

On the first day of training, in between trainings, Jonker took one of his Milan No. 25 shirts and asked every Milan player who came to practice today to sign it.

Originally, there were still people who were a little disdainful of Jonker's move, and said in their hearts, don't look at the high value, after all, it is from a small place, and I have never seen the world, but after Jonk collected the autograph with satisfaction, he asked everyone to put away this little bit of caution, what he said was, "Thank you, I grew up watching you play football, and I have to collect this piece." ”

"Are we old?"

After saying this, a group of old guys couldn't help but feel a little emotional, they faced this young man who was only twenty years old, which was equivalent to reminding themselves all the time that they were already old, and if they didn't accept the old, they couldn't resist the pig-killing knife of the years.

Now, there are a lot of players in the AC Milan team who were the heroes of the Champions League in 2003, and three years later, AC Milan want to lift the Champions League trophy again, but the vast majority of the main players in the team are still the same people.

Maldini, Nesta, Dida, Gattuso, Seedorf, Pirlo, Inzaghi, Karadze.

When AC Milan lifted the Champions League trophy in 2003, Jonker was 17 years old, and if you go back two years, he was 15. And at that time, these players were almost all in the Milan team, so, he said. I almost grew up watching them play, and that's really what to say.

Of course, judging from Jonk's current value, he is definitely a big player, but this twenty-year-old young man obviously doesn't care too much about this.

Jonker's first training session at AC Milan. There are media tracking and shooting on the sidelines, which is also the courtesy and attention that the giants can receive, an ordinary training session. will be so noticeable.

Unbeknownst to Jonker, his training session here had just ended, even in the sports reports of the day. That's where the footage of his first training session at AC Milan comes in. And it's a very important piece of news.

The first training session, this is also the first training session after a holiday, and the others who have gone through the pre-season physical reserve training, have set their sights on Jonker who has trained for the first time, the season is about to start, the training volume is very large, and Ancelotti did not arrange a small stove for Jonk, so to speak. On this day's training, there are many people who want to see Jonk make a fool of himself.

Those are destined to be disappointed. Not only disappointed, but also have to work hard not to let Xinding go down, light body, rapid running, a trace of fatigue and rustiness can not be seen, the first day to those who are waiting to see a good show, a small special gift.

That's right, where there are people, there will be contradictions, AC Milan seems to be happy on the surface, but in fact it is far from being so calm, there are many people who do not agree with each other, but comrades who want to give Jonk a horse must also be cautious at the moment, there is an old saying in China that is true, not the Raptors are not the river.

After the training, the players regained their harmonious situation, bringing their families and girlfriends to the captain Paul. Maldini's home held a small intra-team party, which is said to be a tradition of AC Milan, and the captain will hold a small party for the first training camp of each season, so that everyone can get together and strengthen the relationship.

However, this does not mean that Jonker's day is easy. Returning to his hotel from Maldini's home, Jonk took a hot bath, relaxed, and after a while, entered the cultivation of Xuangong. Just came to Milan, the masters around him are like clouds, and Jonker is a character who does not admit defeat, so he is naturally unwilling to be left behind, thinking that he wants to adjust his state as much as possible, and he wants to be a blockbuster.

The next day, when Jonker arrived at Milanello for training, he was surrounded by many reporters again, this time, he stopped to be interviewed by the media, after three seasons of professional league tempering, Jonker's relationship with the media is better than before, as long as the media does not take the initiative to provoke him, he is still relatively easy to get along with, players and media are complementary, players need the media to help them wave the flag, and the media also need players to attract attention.

In the Netherlands he did a lot of failure, and in England it was okay, at least it was a mixed blessing.

Looking at Jonker, who was surrounded by the media, the other players stopped and laughed and talked.

"Look." Gattuso said with a smile, "There were two players in the team who had this kind of treatment, and now there is another one. ”

Who are the other two players in his mouth?

Soon there was an answer, and a few minutes after Jonk passed, another player appeared, which attracted the attention of the media, and this was one of the other two players in Gattuso's mouth, Milan No. 9, known as Philip of the Ninth Master. Inzaghi.

Jonk turned his head and saw Inzaghi smiling brightly, unlike himself and these Italian journalists, Inzaghi was a fish in water. Looking at the way Inzaghi and the reporters talked happily, Jonk felt that the rumors outside sometimes really couldn't be believed, and the guy in front of him, who was unanimously considered by the outside world to be one of the representatives of Italy's melancholy men, was simply heartless.

As for the other one in Gattuso's mouth that will cause the media reporters to besiege, it is obviously the most popular one in Milan now, the Brazilian midfielder Kaka, however, until the next few days, Jonk did not see Kaka, he learned from the broken mouth Gattuso that Kaka was injured and had asked the club for leave in advance, and the club also agreed that Kaka would stay in Brazil and be treated and recovered by the team doctor of the Brazilian national team, however, in order to be cautious, Milan still sent a team doctor over, Participate in Kaka's rehabilitation program.

One afternoon a few days later, after training. The players have all left Milanello and Jonk is still sweating on the training pitch as he works up.

In these days of training. Although the media has praised Jonker's training form, Jonker himself is not satisfied, he feels that his form is not in shape, not just not in the best condition, but not in the game condition.

Last season, Chelsea fought on multiple fronts and won just one league title. It's not that Chelsea's bench depth is not good, the most important thing is that there will always be some inexplicable mistakes within the team, and to put it bluntly, it still lacks the so-called giants at critical moments. That tone always seems to be uninhabited!

No matter how capable Mourinho is, this tone is not something that can be brought up, and then there are key players absent, especially Frank Lampard and Jonk. When the two are not on the field. Chelsea are clearly going to struggle a lot.

Jonk has always had no physical problems, and it is also the club's care to let him take a break, but he still feels that there are too many things, and some things he has not clearly proposed, Chelsea is too good to him, making him embarrassed to say, and Abu's affection is in it, so it caused him to honestly implement the club's appearance arrangement.

Of course, Chelsea have their own difficulties. There were a couple of other good players up front and they had to play the other strikers.

After coming to Milan. Jonk is also reminding himself that he will not let similar situations happen again, let alone talk about any emotion, and there is no emotion, here he is here to play good football, all for the good of the club, then he must fight for it.

Jonker shoots in practice sports, which is also the training he practices the most, the football is shot out by the ball throwing machine, he relies on his own judgment, rushes to the football landing point, and completes the shot at the first time, the ball throwing machine shoots irregularly, so Jonk will also run from time to time, looking for the football landing point, and complete the shot.

After half an hour of practice, Joan was tired and out of breath, and the intensity of physical exertion in this half hour was not much worse than that of half a game.

Tassotti tossed Joan a bottle of sports drink and said, "Take a break, Jonker." ”

Knowing that Jonk was going to practice more after training, the club seemed interested, and arranged for assistant coach Tasotti to accompany Jonk to training. While Jonker was just training, Tasotti was taking notes, scribbling in his notebook from time to time. What he wrote will appear on the desk of Carlo Ancelotti and the team's doctor and strength and conditioning trainer the next day.

Jonk took the drink and took most of it, and said, "It seems that there is still a lack of training, my training intensity was even greater than this before, but I feel much better than now." ”

Tasotti glanced at Jonker in surprise, in his opinion, Jonke's training intensity is already very large, at least AC Milan's old guys are absolutely impossible to get on this amount, he is considering whether to discuss with the team doctor, and then build yì Jonk to reduce the training intensity appropriately, now it sounds, it seems that Jonke's previous training intensity is even greater than this. It's really hard to imagine. How does this guy usually train, so self-disciplined?

"You're in good shape, you're feeling in front of goal, I've seen a lot of good goalscorers and you're not inferior to them. I've always been curious about how your strength is trained! ”

Jonk took a big sip of his drink, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Training strength? Hehe, what's there to practice with that thing! ”

Tassotti smiled, smiling reluctantly, "That thing still needs to be practiced?" Don't you even go to the gym to train for strength? No kidding! Saying that, Tasotti took Jonk's towel and set it aside, "To be honest, I'm really curious, can I reveal a little bit!" ”

Jonk nodded, this is conceivable, as a professional coach, who doesn't want to add some professional skills to himself, but Jonke's method is not applicable to other players at all, and no one believes it, he had to twist his waist a few times, which can be regarded as a fool.

"Oh God! Did you train with that, I'm really worried about your girlfriend! Tassotti shouted in shock.

"I didn't say anything! Think for yourself! Hehe! ”

"Haha, you kid!"

Tasotti knew he couldn't ask anything more, but he was still ready to go back to the real thing, what if it was true? Before, many players said that the game would be more fierce after that, and we have to try whether it works or not!

Ignoring Tasotti who was eager to try, Jonk took off his wet training clothes. Shirtless, with a sweat-soaked jersey on his shoulders. Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and it is also a hot wind.

Tasotti said as he walked: "Carlo thinks highly of you. He also talked to me in the morning and told me that I want to help you understand the Italian culture and traditions so that you can integrate into the team as early as possible, AC Milan is a team with a long history, each team has its own traditions, its own soul, and that's why these teams can be passed down for decades, centuries. Our players come from all over the world, speak different languages and have different understandings of football. But, I believe, the love for football is the same. ”

Jonk nodded in agreement. Exactly. For so many players in a team, football is their common language.

Tasotti patted Jonker on the shoulder and said, "Jonk, you just came to this team, you need to get used to it slowly, don't be in too much of a hurry." If you don't understand anything, or if you need help, you can come to me. It is also possible to communicate directly with Carllow, of course, in private. In public, you know what to do, don't you? ”

Jonk kind of understood, this must be the previous exaggerated media report on himself, in the media report, he has a perverse personality and is not very obedient. Therefore, Ancelotti seemed to be a little worried, so he specially asked Tasotti to talk to him and get vaccinated. This has a little bit of a benefit, Tasotti is the middleman, like a lubricant, and Ancelotti does not have to worry about the relationship with Jonk getting worse, there is room for manoeuvre.

Jonker laughed, anyway, as a manager, Ancelotti is indeed good, maybe some media say that he is weak, but for the player Jonker, the manager can take the initiative to communicate with him, which is already very good.

"Don't worry, Coach, I know what you mean." Jonk said to Tasotti, and then he added, "I'm here to play." ”

Hearing Jonker say this, Tassotti nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, hoping so, it was obvious that this person was still not so at ease with Jonk. There is no doubt that Jonker is a genius, but in the eyes of many people, geniuses are always weird and difficult to manage, coupled with the exaggerated reports of Jonk in the British media at the beginning, it is no wonder that the Milan coaching staff is a little worried.

Speaking of which, in the history of AC Milan, it seems that there are really few players who have such a thorny head. The arrival of Jonk can be regarded as filling this gap.

AC Milan's final warm-up match of the summer was at the San Siro against Juventus, who were sent out for relegation to the second division.

Although it was only a friendly match, the former Italian Holy League was suspected of reuniting, so this match was also highly anticipated.

Nearly 40,000 fans poured into the San Siro stadium for this game, as many fans wanted to see Jonker in the game, even if he only came off the bench for a few minutes. However, in the squad announced before the game, Jonk did not even make the bench. This was a big disappointment for the fans.

However, this qiē is still understandable, after all, it has only been less than a week since joining the team, and it is the same to wait for the first round of the league to watch Jonker's performance, the fans are sometimes cute and easy to deal with, of course only sometimes.

Jonk himself really wanted to play in this game, and he couldn't wait to play, but unfortunately, the manager had already made a decision, and he could only listen obediently.

Like Jonker, there will be Inzaghi, Inzaghi's problem is still an old injury to his left leg, in fact, Jiu Ye is definitely worthy of everyone's admiration, in his career, he has been injured many times, including several serious injuries, in the eyes of the outside world, are the kind of injuries that can almost ruin the career, many people even think that Inzaghi may have to retire, just like Basten back then. However, Inzaghi was stubborn and stubbornly stood up again and again, and then was hit by the injury again and got back up again.

When Jonker and Inzaghi came to the stands together, the cameras on the pitch immediately focused on them, Inzaghi is the favorite player of Milan fans, and Jonk is Milan's biggest signing this summer, highly anticipated, how can these two appear in the stands without attracting the attention of Milan fans.

The cheers first rang out from the south stand of the San Siro Stadium, with fans shouting "Pippo! "Pippo!" I didn't know that I thought it was Inzaghi who scored, but when I looked at the big screen, it was Inzaghi's smiling face. Immediately shouted along.

Jonk sat next to Inzaghi, and was surprised to hear this cheer, he knew that the Milan fans liked Inzaghi very much, but he didn't expect it to be so like, just appearing in the stands caused the fans to cheer so excitedly.

'Every time I hear that cheer, I get so excited, so I'm desperate to score.' Inzaghi said with a smile.

Jonker nodded in understanding, Inzaghi's words should be understood in reverse, he scored, the fans will let out louder and wilder cheers, so, if you want to hear the cheers, score.

"As long as you're good enough to score more goals, they'll like you." Inzaghi said.

"I have no doubts." Jonk replied.

"So confident?" Inzaghi asked with a smile.

'Of course, otherwise I did it when I was at Chelsea, they sometimes get along very well.' Jonker was right, as long as he could score a goal, the fans would be quick to accept a player.

A young man with a lot of personality, Inzaghi quickly found a position for Jonker in his heart.

This game AC Milan table xiàn is not good, the players do not seem to be in shape, but Juventus, who has just been relegated to the Italian second division, seems to be coming with a huge grudge, and is facing AC Milan, an old opponent, very energetic, they seem to use this game to sue everyone, they will come back, Juventus will come back, so, Juventus can say that the whole team is fighting hard.

However, Juventus encountered a supernatural event today, and Dida, who was criticized by the media in the league last season, seems to be back to his peak today, making Juventus' attackers return again and again in vain.

The goalkeeper's performance is excellent, reflecting the team's weakness on the offensive end.

Today, AC Milan's starting striker is Gilardino, but the Italian national team striker has a mediocre performance today, at least worse than that of his opponent's national team team-mate Piero.

In the 61st minute, Gilardino squandered AC Milan's most likely chance to score in the game, which was an empty goal, but Gilardino's volley hit the post.

The director immediately turned the camera to Jonker in the stands, and at this time everyone knew that compared to Inzaghi, who was still injured by Jonck's side, people had more hope on Jonker.

The director is very interesting, he also used a montage shot from the movie, and the camera alternated three times on Gilardino and Jonk in the next game, and these three times were when Gilardino wasted his chance, which means, obviously.

The final score was 1-0, with AC Milan losing 1-0 to old rivals Juventus, with Bianconeri captain Piero scoring the only goal of the game for Juventus.

The Bianconeri, who had just been relegated to the second division, were snapped up with the majority of their players in the victory, and after the whistle blew at the end of the game, many players did not show much excitement. Buffon's words after the game spoke to the Juventus players: "It's not a simple warm-up game, we'll be back." ”

AC Milan, who lost, was of course unhappy, and Galliani defended the team, saying that this game was different from Juventus's all-out efforts, the Milan players were still a little tired, and the team had not yet entered the state.

At the end of the game, in the sky above the San Siro stadium, some fans began to shout Jonker's name, at first only a small number of fans were shouting, and then the sound changed from small to loud, and many fans participated.

Jonker was also stunned at the time, he didn't expect that before he played, the fans would call his name, which made him very excited.

He waved his hand, and the fans cheered even louder when they saw the move through the camera of the broadcaster.

Inzaghi smiled and said, "Looks like I'm going to worry about my status." ”

Jonker, who was sitting in the stands, also became the object of media attention, and the scene at the San Siro Stadium calling his name at the end of the game became good material for many reporters to sensationalize.

Milan fans can't wait! 》

The highly anticipated San Siro debut is still waiting! 》

Why can't AC Milan score goals? The reason is in the stands! (To be continued......)
