"Where is Mr. Chiwo now? I'd like to meet him," Tang Long said.
"Well, you probably won't be able to see him. He's still in his homeland Romania right now. Ah, you know, the national team has relatively fewer duties, doesn't train every day, quite unlike the club, busy all the time. It's good that Mr. Chiwo has time to spend with his family and kids, unlike me. After leaving Milan, to avoid a long-distance relationship, my whole family has to follow me around. Sigh, I just managed to settle my daughter's school issues yesterday, it's quite bothersome," Ranocchia said gloomily.
Indeed, compared to clubs, national team matches are fewer.
Last year, in 2014, the England national team played only 13 matches, which is less than a club's three-month workload.
Thinking of this, Tang Long felt a sense of regret for Chiwo.
He's only 34, so young. At his age, many players are still actively playing.
