Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Winter Break Special Training Nonstop! Tang Long’s Body Makes Rapid Progress!

"Mr. Chiwo, I feel like I can’t go on!"

"Men can’t say they can’t, come on, the last set of fly birds, your progress has exceeded my expectations, keep going, keep going!"

"Huff—huff—"

In the vast Inter training base, Tang Long and Chiwo were accompanied only by the dense oak forest.

Tang Long’s special training continued without pause during the winter break.

During the winter break, everyone was on holiday, and the club’s restaurant was closed.

Chiwo simply brought Tang Long to his home in Milan, supervising his training one-on-one every day, and personally cooking for his diet.

Since activating Chiwo, the hidden sparring partner of the Inter treble legend.

Tang Long’s progress at the AI Cloud Training Ground was nothing short of rapid!

In just half a month, his passing value had reached 75.

It reached the passing level of a main midfielder for a mid-to-lower Serie B team.

However, that was secondary.

What excited Tang Long more was his improvement in physicality!

To align with Chiwo’s physical training, Tang Long devoted more effort in the AI Cloud Training Ground on stamina, strength, and other training aspects.

The sparring partner remained Chiwo.

Just like Chiwo’s versatility in his career, the Romanian in the Cloud Training Ground also played multiple roles!

Sweating in the real gym during the day, and continuing to sweat in the gym at the Cloud Training Ground at night.

Even though the training content was similar.

But the efficiency of cloud training was evidently higher!

Tang Long’s stamina increased to 71, strength to 75, and jumping to 70.

This was directly reflected in the real-world training with Chiwo.

In the gym.

"You’re a genius, Tang! In just half a month, your bench press improved from 68KG to 80KG, but your weight only increased by 2KG, how did you do it?"

On the training base track.

"Nice! You can run 2900 meters in 12 minutes now; once you can run over 3000 meters, you’ll basically have the stamina for a 70-minute Serie A match!"

Beside the vertical jump test equipment.

"Haha! You can jump as high as I can now, but you still need to work hard, Tang. I’ve been retired for over a year, and my weight is 81KG, I’m 10KG heavier than you!"

The only thing that didn’t improve much was speed, which only increased from 65 to 68, then stagnated.

Tang Long analyzed that it might be because Chiwo was never known for his speed during his career.

But that doesn’t matter.

In Inter’s tactical play, Tang Long isn’t required to use speed to confront opponents.

If he can pass the ball well while training his stamina and ability to withstand challenges, he can greatly compensate for his shortcomings.

Despite this, Tang Long’s progress still amazed Chiwo!

He recorded Tang Long’s achievements every day after training.

Chiwo was surprised to see Tang Long’s data improvement, resembling the upward trend of a stock K-line chart, which delighted him!

"It’s simply unbelievable, Tang, why didn’t I discover your potential when I was coaching the youth team?"

Whenever Chiwo asked himself, Tang Long would always give a casual laugh and brush it off.

"I’m only 18, coach. I’m young, and I’m very confident in my potential for improvement!" freёwebnoѵel.com

...

Just as Tang Long was sweating it out at the training base and eating his fitness meals every day.

Mancini quietly appeared in China.

SH City, Chongming Island.

Outdoor temperature: 1 degree, cold and moist.

A cold breeze blew by, carrying a metallic smell.

Outside a rural restaurant on the outskirts, two small stools were placed by the lake.

Mancini, wearing a thick down jacket, shivered on the stool.

Next to him, Eriksson was wearing a red jacket from Harbor Club, staring intently at the float on the lake surface.

Seeing Eriksson’s calm demeanor while fishing, Mancini couldn’t help but ask him:

"Teacher, aren’t you cold fishing in this wretched weather..."

"Hush! The fish is about to bite!"

A sharp glint flashed beneath Eriksson’s thick glasses—he stood up and lifted the hook!

After wrestling with a big fish underwater for two minutes, a large grass carp was dragged to the shore.

Mancini quickly used a net to scoop up the big fish and tossed it into the red bucket.

"Hehe, not bad, at least 5 pounds, it’s good!"

Eriksson beamed, looking at the big fish flopping in the bucket.

Dinner was a fresh grilled grass carp meal.

The enticing aroma made Mancini’s mouth water!

He used a fork to grab a piece of fish, mixed it with some folded ear roots and stuffed it into his mouth.

The pungent fishy smell of the folded ear roots shot straight to his brain, and Mancini nearly spat it out!

"Hahaha, you can’t get used to this grass? I love it, I can eat a handful in one bite!"

"Teacher, did you eat this grass in Sweden too..."

"No, I only started eating it when I came to China to coach. We Swedes are all born from Viking pirates, haha, our adaptability is strong!"

Why would Mancini travel all the way from Milan to SH City?

Under the layout of Inter’s owner Toshihiko, Inter aimed to become a globally influential club, and it’s not just as simple as their slogan ’We are the brothers of the world.’

First, they needed to export culture, learn from the Premier League, and build a worldwide brand.

Especially in the densely populated East Asian region.

For this, Toshihiko planned to establish an Inter Milan Football School in SH City, recruiting talented Chinese kids to play football here.

On the school’s opening day, he specially dispatched Mancini to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony lasted only a short five minutes, but speeches by various leaders went on for three and a half hours.

Suffering from jet lag, Mancini’s eyes were seeing stars as he returned to the hotel and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, he had another important person to visit.

This person was Eriksson, the current head coach of the Harbor team in the Chinese Super League.

Mancini wasn’t interested in the Chinese Super League and wasn’t familiar with it.

His eagerness to meet Eriksson was entirely because Eriksson is the teacher he greatly respected and the guiding mentor in Mancini’s coaching career!

At that time, Mancini was the head coach of Inter, having won numerous championships and already established himself among the ranks of world-class managers.

But there was one thing he couldn’t figure out, and he needed his teacher to clarify.

The clock ticked back to the Apennine Peninsula in the last century.

Player Mancini, playing phenomenally in the half-number 9 position, became renowned.

Football circles once commented on Mancini:

"If there was no Baggio, then Mancini would be Italy’s only legend in the past 20 years!"

After serving Sampdoria for 15 years, playing 567 matches, scoring 171 goals, and winning Serie A, the Italian Super Cup, and the European Cup Winners’ Cup, among other honors.

In 1997, 33-year-old Mancini transferred from Sampdoria to Lazio for a fee of 4 million euros.

During the 1999-2000 season, although Lazio won the league and Coppa Italia titles, Mancini’s career was nearing its end.

Due to not scoring any goals in 20 league games, he, in frustration, announced his retirement.

His appearances for the national team also halted at 36 matches.

That season, Lazio’s head coach was the Swede Eriksson.

At that time, Eriksson, at the prime age of 52, was full of ambition and at the peak of his coaching career.

He keenly noticed Mancini’s talent for tactical understanding and extended an invitation to this football prodigy:

"Robert, come be my assistant coach. You’ll become an excellent coach!"
