Football novels - Super Forward (Translation)

Chapter 23: Promotion Hope!



In San Siro lost to the number one Milan, this is not the worst thing, after all, Florence has a certain gap with Milan.

The bad thing is that the main striker Alberto Gilardino is injured.

The importance of Alberto Gilardino to Florence is self-evident. The former Milan striker left San Siro in the summer of two years ago and joined the purple lily for 14 million euros.

On October 18, 2008, Florence beat Reggina 3-0 in the 7th round of Serie A. Gilardino scored twice in the game and scored his 100th goal in Serie A.

In the 2008-09 season, Gilardino's status has rebounded. In 35 leagues, Gilardino contributed 19 goals and 6 assists to help the team win the fourth place in the league. In the European game, Gilardino also scored 6 goals.

Last season, Gilardino represented Florence in 48 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is the most important scorer in the team.

After the game, according to the team doctor's diagnosis, Gilardino was injured for a groin and needed to rest for a month.

Gilardino was injured, and there are still three available forwards in Florence, Kuma Babaca, Ndiaye, Adrian Mutu, and the other two forwards can only be used as substitutes.

The bad luck continued to cover the purple lily. Two days later, Kuma-Babaka pulled the right thigh during training and needed to rest for two weeks.

Mijainovic has only two strikers available, and Adrian Mutu has been injured.

After the arrest, the Serbs have a headache. If Adrien Mutu is injured in the game, he will face an unchangeable situation.

In order to solve the problem of the striker, Mikhainovic put his gaze in the reserve team. However, after investigation, the three forwards of the reserve team could not enter his eyes, he hesitated.

What should I do?

Want to urgently introduce a powerful forward?

Mikhainovic decided to discuss with the club director Cecilio.

...

The club director office in Florence, the youth team coach Carmelo is returning the work of the youth team to Cecilio.

"Carmelo, your work this season can be described as 'excellence', the leaderboard!"

The youth team is a warehouse for reserve talents of the club. The good performance of the youth team means that the club has a strong talent pool.

The Florentine youth team's ability to press the Juventus youth team, the Milan youth team and other strong teams ranked first in the standings, which made the outside world stunned and made the Florence club feel surprised and happy.

Carmelo said with a modest smile: "The season is still very long, and now ranking in the first place does not mean anything."

Cecilio nodded and said: "You have such a clear understanding. Can you tell me why the youth team is so strong this season?"

"Help, help, help..."

Carmelo just replied, at this moment someone knocked at the door, and Cecilio screamed at him apologetically, standing up from the sofa to open the door.

"Mr. Mikhainovic?!"

Cecilio was surprised to see the people outside the door: "What do you need to come in person?"

Mikhainovic gently embraced Cecilio: "Hello, Mr. Cecilio, there are some things that are not clear on the phone and can only be interviewed."

Cecilio gently bent over: "Good! Please!"

When Mikhainovic entered the door, he saw Carmelo, the two warm greetings, and then the three sat on the sofa.

"You guys continue."

Mikhainovic knows that Carmelo is definitely reporting.

Cecilio nodded towards Carmelo, and Carmelo was not polite. He continued the topic just now: "We can rank first in the standings. The main reason is that the defense is good first..."

First in the standings?

Mikhainovic did not pay attention to the results of the reserve team and the youth team.

After all, a team of things is enough for him to be busy.

Not bad, the Serbs looked at Carmelo with a different look.

"Of course, the main reason is that we have a strong attack. In the past fifteen rounds, we scored thirty-four goals and ranked first in all teams!"

Mikhainovic looked at Carmelo, who was talking about it, and his eyes appeared in his eyes.

"Where the king scored the top of the scorer's list with 21 goals, a whole seven goals more than the second!"

Having said that, Carmelo's eyes flashed a proud look.

"Fiveteen rounds of twenty-one goals?"

Mikhainovic raised his hand and gestured. He looked at Carmelo and asked: "You said that the youth team scored 21 goals in 15 games?"

He wants to confirm this information, although the level of the youth team can not be compared with Serie A, but the players who average more than one goal must be young talents, even a genius!

Carmelo looked at the Serbian nod and said: "Yes, Mr. Mikhainovic scored 21 goals in 15 games, three of which completed the hat trick."

Carmelo turned around and continued to report: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the team has not experienced a large number of injuries and morale is booming..."

After the report ended, Cecilio encouraged Carmelo, hoping that he could lead the youth team to achieve good results.

Then the two said goodbye.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Carmelo!"

Mikhainovic suddenly woke up from his meditation, and Carmelo stopped to look at him.

"Can you give me a detailed introduction to the player? I am interested in him."

Carmelo opened his mouth slightly, did he want Wang Jin to advance to the reserve team?

Carmelo knows the embarrassment of the first team's front line, Wang Qi to the reserve team to exercise, maybe when will be able to enter a team.

"Wang is a Chinese player, but he has been training in Genoa since childhood and was recruited this summer."

Carmelo then began to introduce Wang Qi's specific situation: "This is an ultra-fast player, his 30 meters reaches three seconds five!"

Mikhainovich was surprised: "Three seconds five?!!! Oh, you continue..."

Carmelo continued: "Because of the speed, the king is the biggest weapon in our defensive counterattack. Ten of his twenty-one goals are completed by counterattack."

"In addition, I am training Wang to the direction of the striker. His sense of smell in the penalty area is quite sensitive. There are seven goals scored in front of the door..."

After the introduction of Carmelo, Mikhainovic said after a moment of contemplation: "Mr. Carmelo, I have an idea, I want to transfer this player to a team."

In fact, a team of coaches to recruit reserve teams and youth team players, there is no need to ask the reserve team and the youth team coaches, after all, the purpose of these two teams is to transport talent for a team.

He did this to respect Carmelo.

"A team? Shouldn't it be a reserve team?"

Carmelo felt very strange: "Is the reserve team's forward not easy to use?"

Mikhainovic shook his head and said: "I only went to see their training in the morning, and there was a certain gap with my request."
