Two fingers after the goal, it was a celebration of Greentown South African foreign aid Dino, who said that not many people in the world can become professional players, and he is grateful to God for his kindness.

And Zhejiang Greentown obviously thanks to Dino, scoring 7 goals in 6 rounds of the league, Dino helped Greentown win two consecutive wins, and the gap between Greentown and the leader of the Chinese League One was only 1 point. Dino was a good interviewee — in the conference room of the Mid-Thai base in Greentown, the South African shooter was as passionate as he was on the field when he gave an exclusive interview with the Express: sometimes he danced, sometimes he picked up the pen next to him to compare, and the expression on his face was enough to make him an "emoji".

On top of that, he has goals and he has a story.

"Grab" Dino

Dino's story begins with joining Greentown.

With seven goals scored in six league games, Greentown fans have been smiling this season: the club picked up a treasure this time. But Wu Shaokun, vice president of Greentown Club, talked about Dino coming to Greentown, and he still has palpitations.

In October last year, vice president Wu Shaokun was watching a video of the Champions League, and Dino, who played for Azerbaijani club Karabakh, made his eyes shine. Unexpectedly, at the end of the year, the agent recommended a list of players to Greentown, and there happened to be Dino.

"It was just such a coincidence. Dino, a breakthrough player, is exactly what Serge wants, so we contacted Dino. Later, Dino was very interested in playing in China, but just after we and Dino initially negotiated a contract, some Chinese clubs also wanted him, fortunately, we started faster, otherwise they would be robbed. Wu Shaokun recalled.

"I was in Azerbaijan at the time and I got almost all the honors that a player could get, and then I wanted to try somewhere else. China is a new challenge for me, Greentown's football philosophy is very similar to mine, for example, they attach great importance to young players, for example, they proposed to return to the Chinese Super League in 3 years, I think this is a club with goals and vitality, so I decided to come to Greentown to play. Speaking of leaving the Azerbaijani champions who have the opportunity to play in the Champions League to join the Chinese First Division team Zhejiang Greentown, Dino gave his reasons.

The first gift I received from my dad was football

Foreign media have reported the story of Dino sleeping in the toilet in order to carry the ball, to which Dino repudiated the rumor: "No, this is not a thing." ”

What the hell happened? Dino listened to this question, deliberately touched his forehead with his hand, and pretended to be very painful: "It seems that people all over the world want to know this story, this story is very long, long, let me think about how to say it." 」 ”

At the age of 18, Dino went to Johannesburg to try out for the youth team of the Platinum Star Club, a powerful team in the South African Premier League, which at that time was a giant club in Dino's eyes. 'The Platinum Star knows a little bit about me, but if I want to join them, I still need to go through a 3-day trial, which means I have to train with the team and play together, and eat and live on my own." Dino said.

Dino's home is in a village more than 100 kilometers from Johannesburg, and if you want to catch the morning training, it is too late to take the train to and from. Considering the cost, Dino chose to sleep at the train station. After 3 days of trial training, Dino slept in the train station for 3 days. "The bench is a bit cold, but it can withstand it." Dino said: "But it's not a toilet, it's a stool at the train station." ”

Dino's dad was an amateur player, and the first gift he bought for Dino with his salary was a football. "It was a meaningful gift, and I fell in love with football because of it, and I started playing football with my kids when I was 5 or 6 years old."

Dino's highlight was last season's Champions League group stage, when he met opponents such as Chelsea, Atletico and Roma. Dino recalled: "When facing an opponent like this, goosebumps would rise when they played, and the whole person was excited. But after the game started, I threw myself into the game and played well in these games. ”

Sleep from 2 p.m. to 8 or 9 p.m

Last week, his wife came to visit Dino from South Africa, which made Dino very happy: "It is always good to have a family to be with, there is a very warm feeling. ”

When his wife came to Hangzhou, Dino always took his wife to Hangzhou for a stroll, and the first stop was the famous West Lake. "West Lake is really beautiful and my wife loved it too. However the day we went, the weather was not very good and a bit cold. My wife has returned home this week, and I think the next time I have a chance, I'll take her to play again when the weather is better. Dino said.

Dino quickly integrated into the team, and his super adaptability has a lot to do with it, compared to some foreign aides who have played in China for many years and only eat Western food, Dino has long been accustomed to Chinese food. "I don't think there's a problem at all with Chinese food, I can eat it." But you asked me to say which dish I liked the most, and I couldn't say it, because I really couldn't tell what it was. For example, that kind of noodle is delicious. A greentown club staff member laughed and said, "It is the favorite piece of Sichuan that Hangzhou people love to eat." ”

Moving on the pitch, I didn't expect to be quiet in life. Do you know what Dino's biggest hobby is? Go to bed!

"I don't sleep much at night and more during the day." Dino explains. What is this habit of sleeping during the day? Dino's timeline is even more surprising: "I started going to bed at two o'clock in the afternoon, so the time I gave you an interview was supposed to sleep, and then I got up at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, and then I went to bed when I wanted to..."

Well, sure enough, sleeping is the most nurturing - this best shooter turned out to be sleeping and sleeping!
