Xu Xin stood on the training ground, and next to him was almost next to the team's head coach Diego Simone and other coaches in the coaching staff.

He was a little excited, but it wasn't because he was so close to Simeone.

As a player of Atletico Madrid's B team, this is not the first time Xu Xin has trained with the first team. Although this is his first time to follow the first team for pre-season training, he cannot be so excited.

If he was excited, he would have been excited. On July 4th, he received a call from his agent, telling him that Simeone had transferred seven players from the youth team to the first team and trained with the team. The reason why he transferred seven people in one breath was that the players in the team who participated in the World Cup were unable to return to the team, and there were too few first team members.

And they just follow the team to train. In August, the team will go to the United States to play a warm-up match. It is not certain whether they can go to the United States with the team at that time.

There is only one reason why Xu Xin is excited, that is, he is about to meet Gao Zheng, and as a temporary translator of Gao Zheng, he will help Gao Zheng adapt to the new environment and integrate into the team as soon as possible.

To be honest, when he heard this arrangement yesterday from captain Gabi, he once suspected that the head coach had transferred him from the youth team to participate in the training camp just to let him interpret Gao Zheng. However, it was only early July at that time, and the head coach probably didn't expect it to be so far...

As a Chinese player, he certainly knows who Gao Zheng is and what Gao Zheng has accomplished. He is also a foreign player, Gao Zheng is his role model. He does not expect that he can reach Gao Zheng's height, but Gao Zheng's success is indeed encouraging him to train hard at Atletico Madrid, and to one day he can gain a foothold in Atletico Madrid's first team and play in the game.

When he used to treat Gao Zheng as a role model, he never expected that one day he would be teammates with Gao Zheng and could also translate it for Gao Zheng, even if it was just temporary... So when Captain Gabi found him yesterday, he made this suggestion to him, and he nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

How easy it is to be able to get along with your idol at close range!

Training has not started at this time, but the players are almost there.

The reason why training has not started is that the most important person has not arrived yet.

It is said that after Gao Zheng finished the welcome ceremony in Madrid, he rushed over.

If there was a new player, Atletico Madrid players would not have waited so quietly and patiently on the training ground. But because the person who had to wait was Gao Zheng, no one complained. Apart from the new team in the team, everyone is not unfamiliar with Gao Zheng after all, they have fought on the court and are very familiar with him.

It is precisely because I have seen Gao Zheng's power on the court that everyone is not very resistant to waiting for him.

It was a powerful figure who almost knocked the entire team down with his own strength. Goding and the others still remembered the scene when Gao Zheng scored the third goal in that game.

It was not allowed to wait too much, and someone yelled in a low voice: "Here you come!"

Xu Xin hurriedly looked at the entrance of the training ground, and sure enough, a group of people came to that direction.

The tall and thin person in the center is naturally the protagonist Gao Zheng. Next to him is the club's technical director Caminello, and a reporter from Atletico Madrid's official website, who are firmly aiming the camera lens in his hand at Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng had already changed into the training suit. Although the dusty weather made his face a little tired, there was still a smile on his face. Seeing the teammates and coaches waiting for him from afar, he took the initiative to raise his hand to say hello to them.

Caminello led Gao Zheng to Simeone and smiled and said, "Don't worry now, Diego? I brought you intact, even a lot of hair."

Simeone grinned: "I saw it, thank you for your hard work, Kami."

Caminello shook his head: "I originally wanted to persuade Gao Mingtian to participate in the team's training so that he could take a day off, but Gao disagreed."

At the Madrid welcome ceremony, Gao Zheng accompanied him at the club's chairman Cerezo, not the team's head coach Simeone. Simeone did not attend Gao Zheng's welcome ceremony because he had already led the team to leave Madrid and came to the training camp in the small town of San Rafael in the northwest of Madrid.

Xu Xin heard two club bosses talking about Gao Zheng next to him, and hesitated in his heart whether he should translate these words to Gao Zheng, because they were in Spanish.

Just then, Simeone looked at him and said to him: "Please help me translate, boy. Welcome to Atletico Madrid."

The translation work suddenly arrived, and Xu Xin was a little nervous. Although it was not the first time he came to the first team to train with the team, it was the first time he was stared at so close by by the team's head coach Simeone. For a moment, he even had the illusion that the head coach was not welcoming Gao Zheng, but to welcome himself...

But he soon realized that the head coach's words "you" referring to Gao Zheng, not him.

He quickly turned around and stuttered to Gao Zheng: "Welcome...uh, the boss said that you would welcome you to Atletico Madrid."

"Thank you, Mr. Simeone, we finally meet." Gao Zheng replied in Chinese.

Xu Xin then translated it in Spanish.

After hearing Xu Xin's translation, Simeone laughed: "No, we've seen it a long time ago! It was last season!"

"But we were different at that time. And this time it was my first time meeting you as your player."

"As your player" made Simeone feel very happy when he heard it. He smiled even happier, and his hearty laughter echoed on the training ground.

Atletico Madrid players in the distance saw their head coach laughing so happily, and then recalled the boss's statement to Gao Zheng when he attended the press conference before the two sides fought last season... Everyone was sure that their boss really admired Gao Zheng. How could he be so happy to other players!

"I didn't speak to you in Italian, but I specifically used Spanish, and I also found a temporary translator for you in the team... I just hope you can learn Spanish as soon as possible. Let me introduce this, this is your compatriot Xu, who has been at Atletico Madrid for three seasons, and this is his fourth season. I was transferred to the first team to train with the team before. Although he is your translator, he is temporary. I hope you can put aside your dependence on translation as soon as possible and not affect Xu's training too much."

When Xu Xin was translating this passage, she couldn't help but think about it. Simeone hoped that Gao Zheng could learn Spanish as soon as possible and no longer bothered him. But he himself hoped that Gao Zheng could learn slower. Because he felt that after Gao Zheng learned Spanish, he might not have a reason to stay in the first team. If Gao Zheng could learn Spanish later, he would still be valuable as a translator. Maybe he could still stay in the first team, go to the United States to play warm-up matches, and even have the chance to be included in the registration list for La Liga...

After listening to Xu Xin's translation, Gao Zheng looked at Xu Xin a few more times, then nodded and answered Simeone: "I have found a Spanish teacher, but he can't come here. I'm afraid I can only start to truly learn Spanish after I return to Madrid."

"If Xu doesn't mind, you can learn from him."

"The boss said that if you don't mind, you can learn Spanish with me. It's still okay to reply simply."

Gao Zheng smiled at him and said, "Then I'll trouble you, thank you!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome! It's OK, it's OK..." Xu Xin waved his hands repeatedly.

Seeing that Gao Zheng had already communicated with Xu Xin, Simeone said with satisfaction: "It seems that you are getting along well. Okay, the greetings end here. You can't let others wait too long. Next, we have to start training. I won't show mercy to you just because you came, Gao."

On the way back to the training ground to prepare for training, Xu Xin seemed to be worried that Gao Zheng had any bad ideas about the head coach. He thought he was unkind and explained to Simeone: "The boss is such a person. Sometimes he looks fierce, but in fact he is very good. We all listen to him. After getting along with him for a long time, you will find that he is a super interesting person..."

Gao Zheng thought of the phone call Simeone called him, and nodded in agreement with a smile: "Yes, he is a very interesting person."
