Before New Year's Day, Ou Chuliang returned to Naples. In other words, Ou Chuliang spent this year in Italy.

The staff of the Spring Festival Gala director team were very enthusiastic. They gave the song name and lyrics to Ou Chuliang in advance and asked Ou Chuliang to memorize it first.

Before the Spring Festival Gala, you can just go back to China in advance to rehearse a few times. As for singing, Ou Chuliang will be assigned to a microphone without power. In other words, Ou Chuliang only needs to remember the lyrics and hold the microphone to match the lip shape.

After returning to Naples, Ou Chuliang was introduced to Naples' third coach this season.

"Hello, Mr. Joniwan."

"Hello, the young man from the East."

Then, Ou Chuliang trained with the goalkeeper coach as usual.

"Don't worry, Ou, you don't have to remember his full name." Ou Chuliang came back, and Ferdinando seemed very happy. "It won't be long before he will get out with his two exes!"

Perhaps Ferdinando was right. During the period after Ou Chuliang left, the team won two consecutive defeats. In the game against Sampdoria, although the team scored 3 goals, the opponent scored 6 goals.

Such achievements cannot convince fans and the board of directors.

It can be said that the situation in Naples is terrible.

As the winter transfer approaches, the players who have found their next home are eager to try, while those who have not found their best are constantly showing themselves. Compared with the beginning of the season, the enthusiasm of some players to participate has increased.

Every night when Ferdinand returns to the dormitory, he would happily tell Ou Chuliang that a team from Bijia liked him and that any scout from Turkish Super League had contacted him. In the eyes of this young man, he seemed to be full of expectations for the future.

You should know that in the eyes of players, such clubs are the places for losers, and once you get there, your career will almost be on the edge of the cliff.

It can be said that no one wants to transfer to Türkiye to play football unless it is forced.

Faced with Ferdinando's optimism, Ou Chuliang did not expose it. Why did he expose the joyful atmosphere created by his roommate's painstaking thoughts?

After New Year's Day, the team tied Udinese 1-1, and the team slapped their chests: "Thank God, the team is finally about to have a turning point!"

Local media also took the opportunity to report: This is a turning point in Naples. We will make efforts in the second half of the season!

However, the next weekend, the team still lost 0-3 to Brescia.

The team's crushing defeat caused many media to warn: If you continue to lose like this, Naples will really be relegated!

Before every game, Naples would tell the fans: Don't worry, we will definitely win this game, and we will definitely save the defeat!

Then, there was no result.

After losing to Brescia, the media continued to praise the young and hard-working goalkeeper on the team: "He is still so calm, so agile, and so calm! If it weren't for him, we might have lost more!"

But both fans and players have long been numb to the media's reports. Before every game, we say that we must win this game, but the victory has not been visited for a long time.

That morning, Ou Chuliang sat on the sofa and watched the local sports news.

"Hey, Ou! Where are my socks?"

"How did I know, maybe you kicked it under the bed!"

"Oh! The TV sounds so loud!"

"Okay, I'll turn off the volume now."

"Oh, did you use my towel again?"

"It probably didn't. I used the new one. By the way, there was an unused one in the drawer!"

"Oh, why is the toilet so dirty? Haven't you flushed the toilet?"

“I haven’t used the toilet since the morning to now”

After spending a long time with Ferdinando, Ou Chuliang would nickname this day "Bora". Ferdinando's full name is Ferdinando Coppola. Ou Chuliang likes to call his roommates with Chinese habits.

It is obvious that the girl in the steel pipe in the blower hall can no longer understand all the anger and pressure of this young man. Every few days, Ferdinando would suddenly not like anything.

A grumpy temper would make him stay in bed all day and go almost anywhere.

"Bang!"

Another door slamming sound, and the door shaft of Ferdinando's room door started to moan.

"Hey, Bora, why don't you go out for a walk? People always have to go out for some breath!" Ou Chuliang had adapted to Ferdinando's irritability. He watched TV while waiting for the end of "Bora Day".

"But people can stay at home sometimes, right?" Ferdinando's answers at this time were always full of philosophy.

"I think Fenerbahce prefers to be a hardworking goalkeeper"

"Farke, let diligence die!" Ferdinando said irritably in the room, "If diligence is useful, then the Jews would have dominated the world long ago!"

Ou Chuliang shrugged on the sofa. Only on "Boraday" can Ferdinand truly express his feelings. The big boy who was terrible in daily life can truly feel strange.

Ou Chuliang stretched out his hand and pulled out a book from the gap in the sofa.

Compared to those literary classics, this book is very small and looks like a travel guide or a recipe.

In fact, the function of this book is similar to the above two types. Its name is "A Hundred Promising Jobs".

This is a book written by the Germans. In history, Italians have always been mixed with Germans, but Italy has never tasted any sweetness.

This was found by Ou Chuliang accidentally. From the curled edges of the book, it can be seen that Ferdinando had obviously read it many times.

But he had never told Ou Chuliang about this.

When Ou Chuliang took the book and swayed in front of Ferdinando for the first time, Ou Chuliang did not see the young man's embarrassment.

"Oh, I sincerely suggest that you better read this book."

That night, Ferdinando was about to go out for fun. His sudden serious face made Ou Chuliang feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

These days, Ou Chuliang has flipped it over it a few times.

The first recommended thing is to go to church to be a priest.

Think about it, under the white robe of the old man with white beard, white wool curls and a cross hanging on his chest was a pair of athletes' shorts and football shoes, and Ou Chuliang would feel very different.

If it was really useful to ask God, the priest would not have lost so many balls at the beginning!

Many years later, Ou Chuliang also joked in an interview: "If the ball had not been played well at that time, maybe I would have been a charlatan today!"

In the afternoon, Ou Chuliang packed up his luggage and even put his sneakers on his feet in advance.

In early January, it was already dark at around 4 o'clock in Italy. When Ou Chuliang went out, the sun had begun to gradually turn west. In this city without any connection, the neighbors were not as cute as Tao Yong who had crossed the garden on the street.

He is just a substitute goalkeeper. In Napoli, where there is only one game a week (the Italian Cup has been eliminated long ago), Ou Chuliang needs to represent the team in games with only more than 100 spectators.

Even so, you still have to practice in a tense atmosphere every day.

The pressure in the locker room is getting stronger and stronger, and the players can only completely relax in such irrelevant games.

Even in amateur games, Ou Chuliang will lose the ball, or even lose a lot.

Because the fans who come here to watch the game are watching the goal, not watching a goalkeeper save it. More importantly, the players who come here are very savage, and the referee who blew the temporary whistle will not give much serious penalty.

In order to protect himself from being hurt, Ou Chuliang always lets go of water.

Fortunately, the team also frequently concedes goals in Serie A, so both teammates and coaches have nothing to say about Ou Chuliang's performance. Some people even think that this teammate who just won the Chinese footballer has the same level.

After the game, the players can leave directly. Go to the bar and go home.

When I came to Naples before, Ou Chuliang wanted to rent a house; now it seems that it is better to live in the dormitory first.

It was already dark at this time, and Ou Chuliang drove the car sent by the club and walked along an old road. On both sides of the road were carrot fields and wheat fields.

This kind of driving after playing the game is a rare pastime for Ou Chuliang in a foreign country. The roads here are also unevenly built. Some lanes are very wide and can accommodate 8 cars like Ou Chuliang passing side by side; some local highways look like country roads, similar to the dirt roads in the East Village of Northeast China.

After driving for more than 30 miles, we arrived at a development zone called "Wei". It was originally a rural area, but now the population is nearly 2,000.

Ou Chuliang's destination today is a sports goods store here. This store was discovered by Ou Chuliang while taking a ride.

"Oh, you're here just right!" As soon as I entered the door, Bloyle was picking up the coat on the shelf and looking at Ou Chuliang with surprise.

"Lao Bu, where are you going?" Ou Chuliang asked.

"Little Bro is sick, I want to take him to see a doctor!" Bloyle said, pointing to the door of the room behind him. Little Bro was wearing a mask and his hands were held by his mother, and he looked really sick.

"If you don't come, I'll close the door." Old Bro said, throwing the key in his mouth to Ou Chuliang, "I'm going to ask you to help me see the store again."

"Can't do it!" Ou Chuliang shrugged, squatted down and stretched out his right hand, grabbed a hand over Little Bro's forehead, and then suddenly raised it behind him: "The sky is spiritual, the earth is spiritual, the disease is flying!"

Bro Ro rolled his eyes, pulled down the sky blue medical mask, and said in a hoarse voice: "If this trick works, it's better to use it on Naples."

After saying that, Little Bro walked straight out of the door and got into Old Bro's pickup truck.

"You know what the child is talking nonsense." Old Bro was a little embarrassed. He was embarrassed because he saw Ou Chuliang.

Ou Chuliang stood up and waved his hand, "Children's words are not qualitative, children's words are not qualitative."

"That's right." Old Bro climbed up the pole, "Oh, tell me, can Naples win?"

"Dad, hurry up! My throat is very uncomfortable!" Little Bro rolled down the car window and shouted at the top of his throat.

"Go quickly, your son's throat is very uncomfortable." Ou Chuliang deliberately bit his "throat".

Old Bro shrugged, "He was right, and you heard it, his voice was hoarse."

"That might be because he played the game too late last night." Ou Chuliang looked at Old Bro's back and Xiao Sheng muttered.

"Tengtengteng"

As soon as Ou Chuliang walked into the counter and turned on the lights, the roar of the pickup truck came from outside.
