Prominence in Football Community

"...Sampdoria's official social network account released a small video of Gao training free kicks alone. It can be seen that Gao's excellent free kick scoring ability is also exchanged for daily training with countless feet. In the video we can Seeing the high free-kick percentage is very high..."

Icardi turned off the TV a little annoyed.

But recently, there have been too many praises and praises for Gao Zheng in the media. When he goes shopping, he can hang a large poster of Gao Zheng on the newsstand on the street, attracting Sampdoria fans to buy newspapers.

Compared with the glorious Gao Zheng, Icardi is very depressed.

Seven rounds of the league have been played in the new season. Gao Zheng scored nine goals and had two assists.

And what about myself?

Thanks to the new policy of Serie A, he can enter the 23-man roster in every game, but he sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the first four rounds of the league, and played 30 minutes as a substitute in the fifth round of the league. It's the game he's played the most this season.

Because he played only nine minutes in the sixth round of the league, the seventh round of the league, that is, the last game against Verona, was even more excessive. He came off the bench in the 90th minute, played for one minute, and did not touch the ball once. , the game is over!

Seven league rounds add up to 40 minutes of playing time, what is this?

Before the season, the head coach Di Francesco said in an interview that he wanted to build a youth army, and he was full of hope for his future, but he didn't expect that the youth army plan would not have him!

Even Alberto Massi has played the whole game... How long will he be on the bench?

Just give myself one minute, nine minutes, how can I show my strength!

Icardi really wanted to throw things.

So he has been in a bad mood during this time.

His mood was also intuitively shown on his face.

He seemed very taciturn during training, and he was not very familiar with others.

But in fact, he came to the Sampdoria club at the same time as Gao Zheng, but whether Gao Zheng is in the first team or the reserve team, he is very popular, but he can't, he always looks alone.

In the locker room, Maxi Lopez said to Romero, who was beside him: "Look at that kid."

He looked at Icardi who was changing his clothes silently.

"He looked like he joined the team later than me..."

"Hey, Mauro is like this. He doesn't like to make friends, as if he has a relationship with anyone. Oh, he and Gao seem to have a good relationship...not right, it's hard to say..." Romero said with a frown .

Maxi Lopez turned his head and looked at him strangely: "What are you talking about..."

He didn't understand the messy relationship here.

Romero laughed himself: "Hey, anyway, he is very popular..."

Lopez nodded: "Everyone is Argentinian, I think we should take care of each other. I plan to have a barbecue party at my house tomorrow night, what do you think?"

Romero shrugged. "I'm fine, but I don't know if the kid will accept your invitation."

"Try it, maybe he just can't find a chance to get in touch with others? When a young man arrives in a strange place, he will inevitably feel a little bit at a loss. If someone can take him with him at this time, I think it will be good for his future development." Very beneficial..."

"Okay, you're right, listen to you."

So Maxi Lopez went straight to Icardi: "Hi, Mauro."

Icardi looked back at Maxi Lopez, but said nothing.

That's queer enough... Maxi Lopez thought to himself,

Then say, "Uh... well, I want to have a barbecue party at my house tomorrow night, and Sergio is going too."

As he spoke, he turned and pointed to Romero.

"I want to invite you, we are all Argentines."

He originally thought that Icardi would be difficult to invite, but unexpectedly the other party hesitated and nodded: "Okay, I will go. Thank you, Maxi."

"You're welcome, Mauro. I just think that since we are all Argentines, we should help each other abroad...I hope the barbecue will relieve your nostalgia." Maxi Lopez laughed, feeling relieved With a sigh of relief, Icardi is not as difficult to contact as he feared.

When he got back to Romero, he gave him a thumbs up.

"You made it?" Romero asked.

"Mauro is not difficult to get along with, he is just a little uncomfortable." Lopez laughed.

Romero nodded, and he also hoped that Icardi would be more cheerful, so that his life in this team would be easier. As Maxi Lopez said, everyone is Argentine and should help each other so that Argentine players can get better and better.

"Hey, Big Devil. Didn't you find that Icardi's mood is not right recently?"

Sitting in Marcy's car, Gao Zheng heard Marcy who was driving say suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Gao Zheng really didn't pay attention.

"A little irritable and depressed."

"I thought he was always like this..."

"You don't know your friend too well!" Marcy said.

Gao Zheng scratched his head. He admitted that he didn't care much about Icardi. After all, Icardi always had an opponent's mentality towards him, which made him want to release his goodwill and sometimes didn't know how to release it.

"Think about it, you've already scored nine goals, what about him? He only played forty minutes in total, but he regarded you as an opponent and wanted to beat you. As a result, the gap between the two of you is getting bigger and bigger. What do you think? Where can Icardi be in a better mood?"

"Uh..." Gao Zheng completely ignored this point, because he didn't regard Icardi as an opponent.

"Tsk tsk, Icardi knows how sad he must be!" Marci showed a playful smile.

"Okay, okay." Gao Zheng raised his hands unbearably. "Tomorrow night, I will treat guests and invite everyone to have a meal together. I will invite Icardi, and you will invite Sanpetro and the others... By the way, just invite Obiang and Kosticic, everyone It's from the reserve team..."

"No problem, you have the final say on your treat!" Masi was happy that he had a meal with the big devil, and stopped mentioning Icardi.

Before the training started the next day, Gao Zheng found Icardi: "Hi, Mauro, are you free tonight? We all have a meal together, as well as Marcy, Obiang and Kosticic... What's wrong?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Icardi looking at him with strange eyes.

"No..." Icardi looked away, then shook his head and said, "I have an appointment tonight."

"Huh?" Gao Zheng was surprised. "how come?"

Icardi said angrily: "Why, did my appointment make you so surprised? Do you think I am usually unpopular?"

"Uh, no." Gao Zheng scratched his head, he really didn't know what to do with Icardi. But he thought again, he invited him to dinner because he wanted him to relieve his emotions and relax. But since he already has an appointment, I believe that he can relax without having to treat himself, wouldn't it be better?

So he nodded and said to Icardi: "Well, I wish you a good time!"

Icardi frowned. He didn't expect Gao Zheng to be so straightforward. He thought Gao Zheng would persuade him to go to his side. It's not that he can't agree to Gao Zheng, but he has to hesitate, and he can't make him feel that there is nothing wrong with him. It's all so easy to talk about.

Unexpectedly, before he had time to perform these, Gao Zheng would simply give up!

Do you still have sincerity?

Icardi's face darkened, and he gritted his molars and said: "I will be very happy!"

Gao Zheng heard Icardi's tone of gritted teeth, and wondered why Icardi's mood suddenly changed again. He really couldn't understand this Argentine, just like a woman, his mood changes three times a day...

Gao Zheng, who had a headache, ran away quickly, leaving Icardi staring at his back with murderous eyes.

After training in the afternoon, Gao Zheng and the teammates invited by Marcy all gathered next to Marcy's car in the parking lot. Marcy was surprised to see Gao Zheng coming alone: ​​"Where is he?"

"He has an appointment." Gao Zheng spread his hands.

"What?" Marcie was surprised.

"He said he already had an appointment and couldn't come to our place..."

"Are you sure what he said is true?"

"Is it necessary to lie about this kind of thing?" Gao Zheng didn't understand.

Massi rolled his eyes. He didn't believe that with Icardi's popularity, any teammate could ask him out, and he didn't hear that this kid has a girlfriend or something... Isn't that obvious? That awkward man Icardi must have wanted to be awkward. As long as Gao Zheng persuaded him more, he would be able to invite him. As a result, Gao Zheng really thought that Icardi had an appointment, so he dumped him... …

The teammates next to him were very surprised by the conversation between Ma Xi and Gao Zheng: "Hey, who is he?"

"what happened?"

Masi shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, the big devil went to invite Icardi, but he has an appointment. Forget it, it's good for us to get together! Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, everyone got into the car and drove to their destination.

Icardi, disaffected, ended up following Maxi Lopez to his house, along with goalkeeper Romero.

"Ah! It smells so good, I'm already hungry!" Romero smelled the smell of barbecue from the backyard as soon as he entered the door, "Wanda has already prepared it in advance, Maxi, you are so happy!"

Maxi Lopez smiled: "I told Wanda, she knew you were impatient, so she baked it in advance."

Icardi also took a deep breath, and tears almost came down-it's really the taste of hometown!

He lives alone in Genoa, has no friends, and his daily spare time life is very boring. When did he eat such an authentic Argentine barbecue?

At this moment, hearing Romero's voice, a person came out of the room. She had golden hair, was wearing a low-cut tank top and skinny jeans, and her high breasts pushed up the hem of the tank top, hanging In the air, not attached to the body.

She smiled like a flower, and greeted Romero who came: "As soon as Maxi said you were coming, I knew you were impatient!"

Then she cast her curious eyes on a young man next to Romero.

This young man has an immature face, his eyes seem to be immersed in water, there are lights shining, and his face is melancholy, which makes people feel pity at first sight.

Maxi Lopez said quickly: "This is my teammate, also Argentine, the young genius Mauro Icardi."

Then he said to Icardi: "Mauro, this is my wife, Wanda."

Icardi greeted quickly: "Hello, Mrs. Lopez, excuse me..."

Wanda waved her hands again and again: "Just call me Wanda, that's what they call me, don't be a stranger." Then she looked at Icardi lovingly: "It must be very difficult to come to Italy alone at a young age. Are you working hard? Take it easy, coming to our house is equivalent to being in your own home, enjoy the wine and food! Don’t worry about my craftsmanship, Sergio has agreed!"

Romero said beside him: "That's right, Wanda's cooking skills are amazing! So I say Maxi, you are really happy!"

Lopez smiled.

Wanda glanced at Icardi, turned around with a smile and walked to the backyard: "I'm going to barbecue for you, you can do whatever you want!"

Icardi looked at the woman's back. His sister-in-law's slender waist drove her plump buttocks with her walking movements, twisting and twisting, as if a football was dangling in front of his eyes...

He quickly collected himself, looked away, and looked even more cautious.
