"Asian Games? Patton, are you sure you want to participate in this kind of event?" Gasperini couldn't help scratching his head.
Chen Zhuo nodded slightly and said: "Boss, I'm almost 30 years old, and it's my first time to represent a regional team in an international competition..."
Gasperini expressed his understanding. He reached out and took the schedule handed over by Chen Zhuo. The schedule of the Asian Games is very intensive in terms of time. On November 7, the Hong Kong team will play against the United Arab Emirates, and on November 9, the Hong Kong team will play against Uzbekistan.
Tan, the Hong Kong team will play against Bangladesh on November 11, then on November 15 and 16, they will play 16 to 8, on November 19, they will play 8 to 4, on November 23, they will play the semi-finals, and on November 25
Play the final.
"Two weeks!" Gasperini looked embarrassed. He stood up and walked to the wall to check the Serie A schedule. During those two weeks, Serie A still had double games a week!
Chen Zhuo will leave after the 9th round on October 31, which is a home game against Inter Milan.
Chen Zhuo will miss the 10th round on November 7, the away game against Palermo, and the second game he will miss is the home game against Bologna on November 11. He will definitely miss these two games.
Next is the away game against Cagliari in the 11th round on November 14. If the Hong Kong team wins the top 16 and enters the knockout rounds, then it is impossible for Chen Zhuo to come back for this game. This possibility is also possible
of.
The home game against Juventus on November 21st. If you insist on squeezing in time, Chen Zhuo will be able to catch up with this game by flying back to Heat immediately after finishing the eight-to-four match on November 19th.
Yes, even if the Hong Kong team creates
If he made a miracle and entered the semi-finals, then flying back to Hong Kong immediately after playing the game will also allow him to catch up with the semi-finals on November 23. As for the long-distance flight of about 13 hours and the time difference, that is something he has to think about.
The method was overcome.
Next, in the away game against Brescia in November, even if the Hong Kong team reaches the final, Chen Zhuo can catch up.
"Fuck, I seem to know why Milan loaned you out for half a season." Gasperini sighed, shaking his head.
Gasperini needed to rearrange his plan, and he also agreed with Chen Zhuo that in the 12th round of the game against Juventus on November 21, Chen Zhuo would be brought back no matter what, although it was possible that in that game it was just a matter of arrangement.
Chen Zhuo came on as a substitute, but the prerequisite was that Chen Zhuo had to find a way to overcome the long and bumpy journey of more than 26 hours.
Chen Zhuo expressed his understanding and acceptance of this request.
"Also, Patton!" Gasperini patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder, pointed to the schedule on the wall and said: "In the 9 rounds before you leave, there will be 5 home games and 4 away games. My plan is
At least 6 wins and 18 points! Boy, complete this goal before leaving!"
If he scores 18 points in 9 rounds, he should be in the top three. Gasperini's requirements are indeed a bit high.
"Mark my words, Patton!" Gasperini patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder and said: "You can only create miracles, one miracle after another, one impossible task after another! Because your start is too big.
It’s too late, now you can only catch up with the time you lost in this way!”
Chen Zhuo nodded solemnly and said: "Boss, I will try my best to win every victory!"

The opponent in the second round of the league is the famous "Flying Donkey" - Chievo.
In the 1990s, many Serie A teams wrote legends in the European arena, and Chievo was one of them. It qualified for the UEFA Cup as a newly promoted team. This was the "Chievo Miracle" of the year, and it was also the current coach of Juventus Del
The only record that can be achieved inside, but that was already 10 years ago.
Ten years ago in Hedong, ten years in Hexi, and now Chievo, the only person they can use to make a case is their old captain, Pellissier, who is known as the "rich killer".
"Flying Donkey" Chievo's number one star Pelissier has never been a top star in Serie A. Pelissier, who was born in 1979, is 31 years old. He is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 76 kilograms. He does not have an idol king.
His temperament and appearance, but he will only appear on the list of goals that kill wealthy teams at certain specific moments every year - please remember, just like his nickname, "rich family killer"...
Pelissier made his debut in Serie A at the age of 23. At this age, Totti and Del Piero have already become legends. This is Pelissier's 8th Serie A season. In the previous 7 seasons,
In the match against the four giants of Milan, Juventus and Roma, Pepe
Lissier scored a total of 13 goals, which is an amazing number. Even Pellissier's first career hat trick was completed against Juventus.
It is the ability to perform at a super level, which is also the most legendary thing about Pellissier.
Today's Chievo is no longer the newly promoted Chievo that reached the UEFA Cup and created the "Flying Donkey Miracle". The head coach Pioli is a newcomer without any qualifications or brilliant record, and there is no one in the team who can surpass him.
With big-name stars on the team as a whole, after a summer that was calm on the surface but actually doubled down on their efforts, Chievo is looking forward to a good start in the new season.
Chievo is a team that is good at defense. Last season they only conceded 42 goals, which was the fifth-fewest team in the entire league. The other four teams are the top four in the league, the Milan duo, Roma and the one who won the Champions League.
Sampdoria in the qualifying round. At the same time, Chievo is a team with poor offensive power. Last season, they only scored 37 goals in the entire season, which was the second-fewest team in the entire league and the only one last season.
Livorno, who scored fewer goals than them, has been relegated.
The data of 37 goals scored and 42 conceded throughout the season also fully proves that Chievo is a team on the edge of the relegation zone. In the league last season, Chievo barely avoided relegation with a record of 12 wins, 8 draws, 18 losses and 44 points.
However, their away record with 6 wins, 3 draws and 21 points ranks eighth in the league. This is one of the few statistics they are proud of.
There is no stranger between Chievo and Nagoya, and there is not much grudge between the two mid-table teams. Last season, Naga's record against Chievo was one win and one draw.
Defeated, Gasperini has always had a psychological advantage over this team.
The key issue is that after Chen Zhuo joined the team, their performance in the warm-up match was too eye-catching. They defeated AC Milan and French Ligue 1 champion Marseille, and drew away with Triple Crown winner Inter Milan after falling behind by two goals.
Let Naja become the target of the mid-level Serie A teams. In this game, Pellissier, known as the "rich killer", was also full of adrenaline, and he was extremely excited from the beginning.
The tenacious defense, coupled with Pellissier's super-level performance of "getting stronger when encountering a strong opponent", are the two major opponents of Miami today.

Oh, let me say one more thing. Pelissier is not the only one who goes crazy when encountering strong teams. In the match against Juventus last season, Chievo relied on Pelissier’s goal to score 1:0.
It was an upset, but it was not Pelissier who stole the show in that game, but the Uruguayan forward Grannoche who partnered with Pelissier on the front line.
In the game against Juventus last season, Grannoche injured three Juventus defenders by himself, almost causing chaos on the court!
That famous bloody battle was in the middle of last season, on January 17, 2010, in the first round of Serie A. In the 6th minute of the game, Juventus defender Grigra's nose was bleeding profusely. The slow motion showed that the Juventus defender was the Uruguayan forward.
During the fight for the top, he was hit by Granoche's swinging left arm. After holding on for many minutes, Grigra was replaced.
In the 59th minute of the game, French defender Zebina, who replaced Griguera, was fighting with Grannoche. The Uruguayan's right elbow hit the Frenchman's head, and his face was covered with blood again. Zebina was covered in thick wounds.
After wearing a bandage and changing his jersey to continue playing, Grannoche only received a yellow card, which caused great dissatisfaction among the Juventus players.
In the 68th minute of the game, Grannoche broke through on the left side of the frontcourt and knocked down Cannavaro, who was fighting for it. When the Juventus defender got up, his nose was caught by Grannoche's heel spike. He continued to bleed and was taken off the field for treatment.
, played with a large tape on the bridge of his nose. It was only then that the Chievo coach replaced the Uruguayan to avoid more conflicts.

This game was exactly the same as that "bloody battle". Only 5 minutes into the game, during a header from a corner kick by Chievo, Grannoche collided with the main center back of Nagoya, Ranocchia.
The latter's nose bone was broken and he was carried directly off the field. Gasperini was forced to make the first substitution, replacing Dainelli as the backbone of the defense.
At the end of the 19th minute of the first half, Grannoche's midfielder raised his elbow again when he broke through Veloso. The brow bone of the Portuguese midfielder was broken and blood spattered everywhere, making Gaspe
Rini had no choice but to replace the old captain Marco Rossi to stabilize the mentality of the players on the court.
After Ranocchia and Veloso were injured consecutively, the players of the Heat were inevitably impatient and started to fight involuntarily. Their retaliatory tackles and collisions also caused the referee to issue yellow cards frequently, and the rhythm of the game was disrupted.
It was very messy.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Granno cut off Criscito from the wing and launched an offensive. Kaladze made another mistake at the critical moment, giving Pelissier a chance to stand alone. The wealthy killer did not miss the opportunity and hit the goal in one fell swoop.
Yes, Chievo leads by one goal away from home.
Shortly afterwards, when the old captain Marco Rossi received a pass from Chen Zhuo with his back, he did not pass the ball back but tried to turn around and get rid of it. As a result, Pelissier intercepted the ball sharply. Facing Chen Zhuo's attack, Pelissier intercepted the ball.
Lissier faked a move to get away from the angle and then made a clever through pass. Granno cut through Dainelli in the middle and added the icing on the cake...
At the end of the first half of the game, two of the main players of the home team, Miami and Naga, were injured and ended up falling behind by two goals. The situation was even more difficult than the situation against Inter Milan in the warm-up match.
This half of the game also allowed Chen Zhuo to fully understand the profound connotation of the saying "There are no underdogs in Serie A". Just like Chievo, which has the worst offensive power, they are also extremely difficult to deal with when they go crazy.
