Prominence in Football Community

The regular press conference in the middle of the week is generally attended by the head coach and a player.

The head coach is of course fixed, and the players present rotate, basically ensuring that every player gets a media presence. Of course, if someone voluntarily refuses, it will not be forced to arrange.

As for which player can participate in this press conference, the method used by each team is different.

Some teams are assigned by the captain, while others are drawn by lot.

In the Sampdoria team, the method of asking the captain to assign is used.

As the current captain of the Sampdoria team, Gastadro has to choose who to attend the press conference today.

He has to have several candidates in mind, and then choose one at random.

Of course, there is a principle-the players who participated in the press conference last time will not be selected. After all, it is not interesting to attend two press conferences in a row.

Before the match against Genoa, Gao Zheng participated in the regular press conference in the middle of the week. It was because of the war of words between Gao Zheng and Antonio Donnarumma. An opportunity for him to speak out in front of the media and respond to Donnarumma.

Now that the pre-match press conference has been attended, Gao Zheng cannot be selected for this week's routine press conference.

But before Gastadro announced in the locker room who was going to meet the reporter, Gao Zheng took the initiative to find him in private.

"Captain, let me go to this press conference too?"

Gastadro was surprised, he didn't expect Gao Zheng to find him for this matter. In his mind, Gao Zheng is not the kind of player who is willing to speak out frequently in front of the media. He had never expressed interest in attending this type of press conference before...

"Well, Gao, you know, you can't participate twice in a row..." Gastadro planned to politely reject Gao Zheng.

But I didn't expect Gao Zheng's attitude to be very firm this time: "I know this rule, but this time the situation is a bit special. You know what the "Trade Courier" said about me, right?"

Gastadro nodded, who doesn't know about this, and their team has complained about Gao Zhengming.

"The reporter from the Trade Courier will definitely come to this press conference. I would like to take this opportunity to formally respond to this matter. I think the form of a regular press conference is more formal."

Facing Gao Zheng with a serious expression, Gastadro really couldn't find any reason to refuse. Gao Zheng really needs a formal occasion to respond to the misunderstanding of him in the media.

Thinking of this, Gastadro nodded: "I will explain the cause and effect clearly in the locker room."

"no problem."

Outside the venue of the press conference, the head coach Francisco met Gao Zheng. He was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"I'm the focus person, of course I have to come." Gao Zheng smiled to the head coach.

Di Francesco frowned: "You don't want to make trouble at the press conference, do you?"

Gao Zheng shook his head like a rattle: "How is it possible, coach? It's not me who wants to make trouble, but the reporter. I'm here to prevent them from continuing to make trouble."

"Yo?" Di Francesco came interested.

Gao Zheng said in a very serious tone: "I hope that those meaningless discussions about football accidents can be completely quelled."

"Very good..." Seeing that Gao Zheng suddenly became serious, Di Francesco didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition...

※※※

When the reporters waiting at the press conference saw that the player representative who came in behind the head coach Di Francesco turned out to be Gao Zheng,

They all froze.

Of course they hope to be able to interview Gao Zheng here, but based on their understanding of the rules of the Sampdoria team, they all know that it is impossible for Gao Zheng to participate in this kind of conference twice in a row.

As a result, Gao Zheng suddenly appeared, and many people wondered if their eyes were wrong...

After Gao Zheng sat down and looked at the reporters in the audience with a smile, they finally confirmed that it was Gao Zheng who came to the press conference today!

Many people then thought of the recent report on Gao Zheng in the "Trade Courier".

Some people simply set their sights on Francisco Kiorno, a reporter from the Trade Courier.

Under everyone's gaze, Kiorno became excited.

After the report from their newspaper was published, neither Gao Zheng nor his agent Viviano remained surprisingly silent. You must know that during the spat with Donnarumma, Gao Zheng's side But players and agents went into battle together.

In the end, it was his turn, but Gao Zheng was silent.

This naturally disappointed the "Trade Courier" - they also hoped to have a verbal battle with Gao Zheng, during which they would attract enough attention to see if they could take the opportunity to shake the "Nineteenth Century" market in Genoa share.

Now that Kiorno found out that Gao Zheng actually attended the press conference, it is hard not to let people think about the recent controversy—is he here to respond to us?

Kiorno was excited about this guess, and he was ready to fight Gao Zheng.

He is not afraid of being pointed at his nose and scolded, but he is afraid that no one will scold him...

Thinking of this, he sat upright in his seat.

And he was 100% sure that when Gao Zheng entered the venue, he took a special look at him.

what does that mean?

※※※

After everyone was seated, the press officer announced the start of the press conference.

First of all, the head coach Di Francesco talked about the recent situation of the team, such as personnel injuries, status, tactical lineup and so on.

But everyone's thoughts are not on this at all. There is nothing in itself that needs special attention.

All eyes were on Gao Zheng, knowing that the reporter's questioning session would be the highlight.

Sure enough, after the press officer announced that reporters could ask questions, Kiorno, a reporter from the Trade Courier, immediately raised his hand high.

The press officer hesitated for a moment, but looked away from his hand, looking for another target.

This made Chiorno very dissatisfied, and he shouted: "Why?"

The news official thought why didn't you tell you that you don't have any points in your heart?

He decided to continue ignoring Chiorno.

But at this moment, Gao Zheng, who was sitting on the rostrum, said to him: "It's okay, just let him ask."

There was a small commotion at the scene - Gao Zheng's intention was obvious, he was trying to make things bigger!

When Kiorno saw this, he even glanced at the press officer triumphantly—told you not to call me just now!

The news officer felt angry when he was seen - bastard, you are still dragged!

But he suppressed his anger and fired Kiorno.

Kiorno stood up, not in a hurry to answer the question, but tidied up his clothes leisurely, then cleared his throat, doing tricks on purpose.

Just when the press officer couldn't bear to remind him, he finally spoke.

First, introduce yourself: "I am Francisco Chiorno, a reporter from the Trade Courier, and I would like to..."

At this moment, everyone saw Gao Zheng raised his hand, opened his palm, and made a "wait a moment" gesture.

Seeing this gesture, Kiorno couldn't help but stop, wanting to see what Gao Zheng was going to do.

Gao Zheng asked: "Excuse me, can you introduce yourself again?"

Everyone didn't understand why Gao Zheng asked. Just now Kiorno specially invited his voice to speak, and the speech was not fast. Everyone heard clearly. Could it be that Gao Zheng didn't hear clearly?

Kiorno didn't understand why Gao Zheng asked him to repeat his self-introduction again, but it didn't matter, it just deepened everyone's impression, and it's good that this advertisement can be played twice...

So he said again: "I'm from the Trade Courier . . . "

He didn't continue because he saw Gao Zheng raised his hand again.

Can the ad still be played three times?

Even Di Francesco and the press officer couldn't understand what Gao Zheng was doing.

Under the eyes of everyone, Gao Zheng smiled, took the time to fiddle with the microphone in front of him again, then cleared his throat and said: "Sorry, I don't accept anyone from the "Trade Courier" at any time and any place. Form interview. So, next."

Kiorno was stunned. He had thought that Gao Zheng would quarrel with him, and also thought about how Gao Zheng would quarrel with him. He had even made a plan in his mind and rehearsed for a while. But he never expected that Gao Zheng not only didn't quarrel with him, but also directly cut off the possibility of his interview!

"No, you can't..." He quickly protested after reacting.

"Next, the gentleman on the far left in the third row..." The press officer didn't give him a chance to finish his protest, so he directly ordered an old acquaintance.

The reporter of "Nineteenth Century" Frécello also stood up immediately. He didn't wait for a long time like Kiorno before asking questions. Instead, he threw out the question while getting up, even Didn't even introduce himself: "Gao, you have now scored thirteen goals in thirteen rounds. I have noticed recent discussions on whether you can get the league golden boot this season, whether it is in the media or on social networks." There are more and more. I also know that when you answered the Sky TV reporter's question about this issue after the game, you said that it is not time to consider the top scorer... But the outside discussion has not diminished because of this, I would like to ask you how Looking at the outside world's discussion on this issue..."

He wanted to help Gao Zheng change the subject, so that everyone would not focus on discussing Gao Zheng's character - it would be better to discuss the ownership of the Golden Boot than to discuss whether Gao Zheng's character is inferior, right? Apart from the Golden Boot recently, there are no other topics worthy of everyone's attention and discussion...

In his mind, Gao Zheng should still maintain his answer to Sky TV a few days ago, and it is too early to discuss it now. However, Gao Zheng's answer is not important. The important thing is that the controversy provoked by the "Trade Courier" has been exposed. Everyone can continue the discussion around the topic of the Golden Boot, or change the topic.

Gao Zheng was also a little surprised.

It never occurred to him that Frécello would ask this question...

Kiorno snorted, "This question already has an answer, why waste the opportunity to ask it just to listen to it again?"

He was very dissatisfied, he was directly deprived of the opportunity to ask questions, and Frécello, a reporter working for a competitor, actually asked such an unprofessional question, in his opinion, it was simply occupying the pit and not shitting... …

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gao Zheng say: "Yes, I really thought it was too early to discuss the ownership of the Golden Boot. After all, the league has only played 13 rounds. But I thought about it carefully, why not? Any striker wants to be the top scorer and I am no exception. So, yes, I am thinking about the Golden Boot and I will do everything I can to get it!"

There was an uproar at the scene.

It's too early for Gao Zheng to say it, and everyone agrees. It's really inappropriate to discuss this topic now, and it's easy to be used by those who want to attack Gao Zheng's eyes, contempt for opponents, etc...

So there was nothing wrong with his previous response.

But I didn't expect that it had only been a few days, why did Gao Zheng's tone change completely?

He actually said bluntly in front of everyone that he was going to be the top scorer? !

Is it because the competition for the Golden Boot in Serie A has become less difficult, or is Gao Zhengpiao, announcing that he will lock the Golden Boot 25 rounds in advance? !

The expression on Frécello's face was dull—he didn't expect that he would get such a sensational answer to a question he just asked casually.

Wang Yixing and Lu Bing looked at each other. Lu Bing saw Wang Yixing's hidden worries in Wang Yixing's eyes. He knew what Wang Yixing, a pessimist, was worried about—Gao Zheng was going to be targeted by everyone...

This kid is usually very cunning, why is he suddenly so stubborn today?

The head coach Di Francesco also turned his head to look at Gao Zheng in surprise, and suddenly felt that Gao Zheng in front of him became a little strange.

Kiorno sat blankly in his seat, he knew that everything was over, and the controversy aroused by the "Trade Courier" was about to be submerged in the upsurge brought about by Gao Zheng's Golden Boot Declaration up...
