The process of joining Naples is very simple. The two sides have actually agreed on the conditions. As long as Ou Chuliang comes to the club and signs an order.

When Ou Chuliang signed a legally beneficial document, the head of Naples shook hands with Ou Chuliang with a smile and left.

"Welcome to Naples." Tikel stretched out his hand to Ou Chuliang, and it felt like a wolf saw a little sheep.

"Thank you." Although Ou Chuliang was not sure, he still reached out and shook with the other party.

"Next I will take you to your dormitory, of course, if you choose to rent a house in Naples, you can also find an agent yourself."

"I think the club will give you a reply later on the car."

"As long as it's not the car we came," Ou Chuliang shrugged.

Before he arrived in Naples, he was actually mentally prepared.

There are not many players in Chinese history who have played abroad, but I am the first person to play in Europe after becoming a professional player. And I just came to Serie A and started very well.

In Ou Chuliang's opinion, Naples is very generous. Ou Chuliang's monthly salary is 25 lira, which is about 30,000 yuan to convert to RMB. Such a high salary is already rare.

When he is a newcomer, Ou Chuliang needs to understand the club, the Serie A, the lifestyle and training rules of the football players here in a short period of time.

As a newcomer who has just arrived in Europe, Ou Chuliang is not afraid of losing money. He positioned himself as a pioneer and had his own understanding of Serie A football in just two years.

Only when other domestic players come to Serie A can he give constructive opinions.

The Italian Football League was originally launched in 1898 and has been around for nearly a hundred years.

From the mid-1980s to the present, Serie A has been recognized as one of the highest-level professional football leagues in the world. Its characteristics are that it focuses on defense and has gathered stars. Especially after the 1990 World Cup, it was even known as the "Small World Cup".

Ou Chuliang chose Serie A because Inter Milan, which was in Serie A, became the first team to visit China in 1978. On September 10 of the same year, the Chinese national team visited Milan, Italy, and the Meazza Stadium was full at that time. As a result, Inter Milan and the Serie A began to establish deep ties with China.

Since 1989, CCTV TV has begun to broadcast the Serie A League through live videos every Sunday afternoon. Due to CCTV's huge influence in China at that time, Serie A has also become the main viewing choice for fans.

In addition to the visits of Sampdoria and AC Milan in 1993 and 1994, the Serie A team has accumulated a lot of popularity in China.

This has also led to the first goal of many young players being Serie A. Teams familiar to fans such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Lazio have become popular among young people early on.

When he returned to the dormitory, Ou Chuliang would learn Italian frantically.

Only by mastering the local language as soon as possible can you live here normally. Otherwise, the locals scold you in front of you and you will not know.

In the past few days since joining Naples, Ou Chuliang was ruthless and kept a low profile and didn't go anywhere.

Due to information closure, Ou Chuliang did not know how difficult this former Serie A overlord was until he came to Naples.

After Maradona was suspended, players who had created Napoli's glorious history began to switch to other Serie A teams after losing Maradona's influence. In addition, the strength of other Serie A has increased, Napoli further declined from prosperity. However, in the post-Maradona era before the scattered stars, Napoli was still in the middle and upper reaches in Serie A.

But in the summer of 1994, Lippi and the club captain Ferrara left Napoli and joined Juventus. In addition, Napoli was heavily in debt, and the main striker Fonsica was sold to Rome by the team. The departure of captain Ferrara symbolized the end of the post-Maradona era in Napoli.

Naples has thus fallen into a crisis of continuous debt, so it is urgent to find young and excellent players around the world. Ou Chuliang is also their target.

Although Ou Chuliang won the World Youth Championship, Italy did not enter the World Youth Championship finals, so some ordinary people did not care that the goalkeeper of the World Youth Championship champion team came to Serie A and acted as the No. 3 goalkeeper of a down-and-out club.

In the 1996-97 season, coach Pauls Goff was dismissed from the last season and Schmoney took over.

The team retained the main members of last season this season, and in the first half of this season, the team's performance was still good. However, at the beginning of the second half of the league, the team suffered a bad record of ten consecutive games. Schmoney was also fired on the way and was replaced by youth army coach Montener. In the end, the team ranked 13th in the league to complete a very disappointing season.

In the same year, the team unexpectedly made it stubbornly in the Italian Cup. In the first leg of the final, with the goal of Berkia, he led Vicenza 1-0 at home. However, in the second round of the match, the opponent was reversed 3-0, thus losing the Italian Cup championship.

The team has been silent for too long, and coupled with years of selling the main players, fans' desire for championships has reached its peak.

The defeat of the Italian Cup this time has disappointed many fans. Even some local gangsters have made trouble. You should know that Naples is the home of the Italian mafia.

After learning about the team's recent situation, Ou Chuliang finally felt a little headache. Naples is in a recession period and he doesn't know whether he can help the team bottom out and rebound.

In the past few days, with his superb language talent and hard work, Ou Chuliang quickly became familiar with several Italian phrases. With his own English and Portugal, it was no big deal to communicate with some local people. At least, Ou Chuliang doesn't have to order the same pasta every time when ordering in the restaurant.

The team's current coach Bortoni is a local Italian coach. In fact, he has only been in Naples for more than a month. After Ou Chuliang met him, the other party did not show much interest in Ou Chuliang.

Immediately afterwards, Portoni handed over Ouchuliang to goalkeeper coach Elber.

Including Ou Chuliang, Napoli currently has four goalkeepers. The main goalkeeper Giuseppe has been playing in Napoli for six years. Napoli's youth training background has been playing for Palermo and Barrie for the first two years, and only transferred to Napoli in 1991.

The second goalkeeper Raphael is a 38-year-old veteran. It is said that he will retire in two or three years. Naples is the target of his retirement.

Another young player, Ferdinando, is only one year older than Ou Chuliang. He was just transferred from Naples U19 this year. In Ou Chuliang's view, he is his strongest competitor.

With Ou Chuliang's arrival, the club did not hold any signing ceremony or press conference. It just announced a Chinese goalkeeper on its official website, and then marked Ou Chuliang's origin in a corner of the Naples Sports News the next day, and there was no special display left.

Fans won't care, they won't think that a No. 3 goal will not bring a championship to the team. Even if he has a great influence in the far east.

At this time, Ou Chuliang was lying on the ground, and the grass under his head turned yellow.

He looked forward, two or three meters away from him, two dark blue eyes were staring at him.

These eyes seemed to be saying: Come on, be serious, be careful!

They were warming up, all lying in the penalty area of ​​the training ground, throwing the balls to each other.

The four people's bodies were like a bent seesaw, rhythmically moving up and down. Only when the ball fell into the latex of the goalkeeper's gloves, a short click could be heard.

After a few minutes, Ou Chuliang felt that it should be almost done. After all, this was just a warm-up, so it should be over.

After joining Naples, Ou Chuliang quickly understood that the main goalkeeper Giuseppe never stopped. Giuseppe hopes to see two young competitors on the team set up, even if it is just a routine warm-up training every day, he will become the winner.

Giuseppe is 30 years old this year and has participated in more than 200 games on behalf of Naples. In the eyes of fans, Giuseppe is the darling in the hearts of fans. Even if the training has just been completed, he will patiently satisfy the fans' wishes.

Ou Chuliang was just 20 years old at this time and was the team's No. 3 goalkeeper. Goalkeeper coach Dirk Elber often told him that he should study with Giuseppedo during this period, and maybe he will become the team's main goalkeeper one day.

Ou Chuliang said nothing, he just looked at Giuseppe to see what he was doing now.

These days, although Ou Chuliang is constantly learning Italian, he plays a taciturn foreigner in the team.

Too much words will lead to mistakes. This is the first advice he gave to himself after coming to Italy.

Speaking less and doing more has also become Ou Chuliang's code of conduct.

When necessary communication, he will describe his confusion as in detail as possible. He will not stop asking until he sees the coach impatient.

"Okay, don't be dazed." Elber said, "Now you shoot at each other, and the ball should be kept at the height of the chest!"

Giuseppe's shooting power became stronger and stronger, and the ball speed became faster and faster. Seeing the increasing bargain on Ou Chuliang's face, Giuseppe gradually became proud.

After the training at night, Ou Chuliang would laugh at the daytime events and didn't seem to mind at all. At this time, Giuseppe also began to fall in love with this free and easy oriental young man.

But on the training ground the next day, both sides' faces became serious again, as if every time they touched the ball, they would crush the opponent to death.

"Creating pressure" is the slogan within the team.

Everyone needs to create pressure, whether it is the coach against the players, the substitute players against the coach through the media, the substitute goalkeeper and the main goalkeeper, or the club manager to everyone.

In Naples, Ou Chuliang not only endured these pressures from all directions, but also the pressure he gave himself.

On this day, he did not control his emotions for the first time after coming to Naples.

The team's contract reads, "O Chuliang needs to represent Naples in 40 games within two years."

However, after Ou Chuliang first played, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game in less than 3 minutes.

This kind of friendly match with local small teams is also included in Ou Chuliang's contract.

Tikel explained: "Friendly matches are also a kind of game. The game you want to participate in is the First Division. Don't worry, as long as you spend a long enough time in the team, you will always have a chance to play."

To record this "rogue"-style text game in Naples, Ou Chuliang needs to use his own experience to remind future generations.

Thinking about it, I know that I am just the No. 3 goalkeeper. The goalkeeper who can participate in 20 League One games is already No. 1.

Ou Chuliang could barely accept this matter, but on another matter, Ou Chuliang finally roared.

"Why didn't this matter be explained in advance? You clearly know the situation of the Chinese team, have you not told the club?" Ou Chuliang's eyes were blazing fire, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

"Sorry, Ou, I don't think I have violated the agreement. The special circumstances of your country are your country's affairs. I am only responsible for the club's related matters." Tikel spread his hands.

The national team has arrived in the UK and has sent a call to Ou Chuliang.

But Naples did not release anyone.

The reason is that the top ten matches have not yet arrived, and the club does not allow players to accept national team recruitment except for international A-level events.

That is the UK training camp that our national staff has worked hard to win!

Ou Chuliang wanted to yell out this sentence very much, but he held it back.

Looking at Tikel's indifferent expression, Ou Chuliang knew that even if he said this, the other party would look at him with a "unhelpful" look.

Naples is using this method to declare its "sovereignty" over Ou Chuliang. At the same time, it also makes Ou Chuliang himself clear that the players receive two different extreme treatments before and after signing.

After a while, Ou Chuliang sat on the stool.

He clenched his fists and felt a little regretful.

The next day, Wang Junsheng called from the UK.

On the phone, Wang Junsheng's attitude and language were still so kind, and he seemed to have no idea about Ou Chuliang's "farewell without saying goodbye".

"Chu Liang, you have to train and compete well there."

"Listen to coaches more and get along with teammates more friendly."

"If you can give up some small things, just give up. It is a blessing to suffer losses. If you take a step back, the sky will be wide open. You are not as good as the domestic ones outside, and you cannot be willful."

"But if you encounter something that you can't solve, you must tell the local embassy as soon as possible, don't worry, the country will be your strongest backing."

"There are still a quota for the national team for you, and it's not too late for you to come back before the top ten games."

"Don't worry, the team here is pretty good. Your teammates from Jianlibao are also very obedient. They asked me to tell you to play football well in Serie A and don't worry about them."

"Also, I heard that Naples is near the sea and the humidity is heavy there. You have more sunscreens and covers with your bed sheets and quilts. Autumn is coming, don't catch a cold..."

Wang Junsheng said everything clearly. Ou Chuliang held the microphone and listened to Wang Junsheng's nagging on the other end. In the end, Ou Chuliang finally couldn't help it, his eyes were blurred with tears.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. I will definitely train well here. You are looking forward to my performance after returning to China!"

"Hey! OK. I know Chu Liang, you are a good boy. With your words, Uncle Wang will feel relieved..."
Chapter completed!
