Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Unlocking Hidden Rewards - Guidance from an Inter Triple Crown Honored Player!

After dinner, Tang Long bid farewell to Chiwo and returned to the dormitory to sleep.

Since childhood, Tang Long has developed the habit of taking a nap.

If he doesn’t sleep for an hour at noon, he absolutely gets sleepy in the afternoon.

But today, Tang Long found it strange that his drowsiness was much less than before, and he naturally woke up after only about twenty minutes of rest.

Tang Long immediately realized that this was related to what he ate at noon.

"It’s a good thing. Chiwo’s dietary guidance allows me to gain at least forty more minutes from my naptime every day!"

Tang Long happily entered the AI Cloud Training Ground.

Since his passing values had reached a bottleneck, he wanted to work on stamina and physical confrontation, as this was specifically emphasized by Chiwo in the morning.

To start in Serie A and play a full 90-minute match, physical fitness is key!

But as soon as Tang Long entered, before he had time to choose a training program, he was surprised to find Chiwo appeared on the training ground!

He was wearing Inter’s home jersey from the 2009-2010 season, standing still like a wooden stake.

Tang Long walked over and pinched Chiwo’s face, soft!

Chiwo’s expression was dull, like a robot.

"Haha, Mr. Chiwo, didn’t expect to see you here too!" Tang Long laughed.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking hidden rewards - guidance from Inter Milan’s treble-winning legendary player!"

"Activate the training partner - Chiwo!"

"Special effect: Break the host’s value bottleneck, value upper limit: unknown."

Whew—

Chiwo, who was originally standing still, moved.

He looked at Tang Long blankly, speaking mechanically, word by word:

"Hello, I am training partner Chiwo, born in 1980 in Romania, started my career at the Liga 1 giant Scoralesta, transferred to Eredivisie’s Ajax in 1999 for 2.5 million euros, transferred to Serie A’s Rome in 2003 for 18 million euros, transferred to Inter Milan in 2007 for 16 million euros, retired in March 2014."

"My club career data: 437 matches, 21 goals, 17 assists."

"My national team career data: 75 matches, 3 goals, 8 assists."

Above Chiwo’s head, there was a flashing yellow card.

Tang Long clicked it, and the card turned into a line of text.

[Training Partner Chiwo]

[Offensive Strength: Passing from center-back position, organizing from midfield position]

[Defensive Strength: Aggressive tackling, abundant stamina, excellent sense of position]

Chiwo appearing in the Cloud Training Ground excited Tang Long greatly!

Although in the world of football, he is not that kind of superstar.

He is quite different from Tang Long’s previous training tool Iniesta.

But according to the system prompt, choosing this Inter treble-winning legend as a training partner can break value bottlenecks!

Tang Long’s passing has been stagnant at the number 70 for a long time.

He once suspected whether it was an issue with Iniesta.

Yet later, he switched to other training partners like Pirlo and Luo, and still no effect.

Now Chiwo’s appearance resolved this issue.

During his player era, although Chiwo played as a defender, he also had extremely deep passing skills!

In fact, when Mancini spent 16 million euros to bring him from Rome to Inter in 2007, it was because of Chiwo’s solid football foundation.

Mancini once commented:

"Chiwo combines exquisite left-foot technique and tough defense together. He can play left-back, center-back, and defensive midfielder. He’s an outstanding football jack-of-all-trades. Whoever gets Chiwo, gets three players at once."

Tang Long immediately started passing training with Chiwo.

...

"Exit AI Cloud Training Ground!"

"Short pass value increased!"

"70—71!"

Indeed!

Tang Long opened his eyes, sat on the chair, and stretched comfortably.

This was the most comfortable afternoon stretch he had in many days.

Although Tang Long is not sure about the passing upper limit Chiwo can bring him, but the predicted upper limit is definitely above 80.

"Knock knock knock!"

A knocking sound came from the door.

Who would come looking for him at this time? Bonazzoli should still be asleep, right?

Tang Long opened the door and saw Chiwo.

"Haha, Mr. Chiwo, you look more natural now!"

Chiwo paused, what does this mean?

"Tang, come on, let’s continue the training!"

"Do we continue training in the afternoon?"

"Of course, your special training time is very short, only three months. But there are many areas to improve, we must seize every moment, let’s go to the gym!"

Chiwo had already dressed in training attire and sports shoes, and Tang Long quickly changed clothes and went out.

The gym at the Inter base.

Chiwo opened the door with the key.

It’s half past two in the afternoon, and it’s empty inside.

"Tang, your strength training must increase. To have a strong body, optimizing diet structure alone is far from enough, you must train more!"

"But Mr. Chiwo, I see those strong Inter first team players, they seem to rarely come to the gym?"

Tang Long mentioned Gualin.

As the strongest player in Inter team.

Gualin indeed rarely comes to the gym.

To be exact, he might not even go once a month!

It puzzled Tang Long so much that he even went to seek advice from Gualin.

Of course, apart from a disdainful look, he got nothing.

Gualin even sneered, saying, "Are you Chinese players always so weak?"

Chiwo understood Tang Long’s meaning.

He sat on the bench press chair and shared a past experience with Tang Long.

"As a player, when I first came to Inter in 2007, there was a player named Eevee on the team. Not only was he tall, but he was also extremely sturdy, more terrifyingly agile with the ball! Every intra-team match, the one I least wanted to mark was Eevee!

I once asked Eevee how he trained and if he had any secrets to teach me?

Eevee was puzzled, telling me that he didn’t have any secrets and his training was just like everyone else.

At first, I didn’t believe him, thought he was deliberately hiding something, but until I saw a video online of him playing in Sweden’s Malmo at 17, I was surprised to find he was already so strong then!"

Chiwo looked at Tang Long meaningfully.

"Talent, this is a matter of talent! Whether Eevee or Gualin, their physical talent far exceeds yours!

But you shouldn’t be discouraged; you have your talents too, your big picture view is equally overwhelming compared to others.

Moreover, physical deficiencies can be compensated by training, but your talent is very difficult to compensate later."

Whew—

Whew—

Tang Long lay on the bench, pushing the barbell.

Sweat dripped down like rain, pattering on the floor.

"Come on, your bench press is only 68 kilograms, any Serie A main defender can knock you over, come on, three months later I want you to reach 100 kilograms! Come on!"

"Coa, coach, is three, three months really enough?"

Looking at Tang Long with a flushed face, veins bulging on his neck, his arms trembling slightly.

Chiwo couldn’t bear to tell him the truth.

Actually, his transformation plan for Tang Long is at least a year.

The physical transformation alone needed to last over 6 months.

But he’s worried that a young guy like Tang Long, who is impatient, might not have the patience for that long.

"Absolutely enough, would I lie to you? Give me three months, I’ll let you send Gualin flying in the intra-team training match, believe it or not!"

Tang Long’s cheeks puffed up like a frog’s, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Just thinking about himself, in training, sending the Colombian flying with a shoulder bump makes his heart surge with motivation.

"Hey!"

With a clang, Tang Long lifted the 70KG barbell and steadily placed it on the rack.

Chiwo’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good, it seems you’re far from reaching your limit, continue adding weight. With me protecting you, don’t be afraid of getting injured!"
