Prominence in Football Community

Icardi joined the training of the Sampdoria reserve team. Although everyone was dissatisfied with his performance on the first day when he first arrived, they had to be convinced of Icardi's ability in training-as expected from La Masia, the top youth training camp, came out of it, and their ability is indeed superior.

You must know that because of that incident at the beginning, everyone was unceremonious to Icardi in training, and his feet were fierce, and Bruni had no intention of asking his players to take care of this newcomer.

But even so, after experiencing the first day of discomfort, Icardi played better and better in the next training, and soon broke out from others.

The football field is a place where strength is emphasized. No matter what your personality is or your temper, as long as you can show your strength and dominate others, then others will obey even if they refuse.

But no one knows the reason behind Icardi's outstanding performance.

During the training interval, Icardi, who still can't speak Italian, seemed a little lonely, but he didn't want to chat with others. He just watched the trial student quietly from the sidelines.

He is chatting with his teammates.

"I went to check, and that Icardi has a lot of background." Massie said.

"Why aren't you young?" Everyone else was curious.

"It is said that he scored more than 500 goals in youth teams at all levels before the age of fourteen! Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool and other giants are rushing to have him..."

There was a gasp from the crowd. Compared with them, that Icardi is indeed much better.

But if they can't compare, it doesn't mean that no one can compare with him... Someone turned their attention to Gao Zheng: "Gao, how many goals did you score before you were fourteen?"

Others also looked at him.

Gao Zheng didn't expect that the topic would be brought to him. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there must not be that many. Before I went to AC Milan at the age of fifteen, I had been training in domestic football schools, and the number of games was limited. .”

"Damn it, it's completely incomparable..." Someone complained angrily.

Gao Zheng laughed when he heard this: "What's the comparison?"

"Anyway, I still don't like seeing him..." Leto said angrily. The first time the two met, Icardi volleyed vigorously and almost hit him with the ball. He had every reason to dislike the newcomer.

"Yeah, I can clearly feel that he looks down on us..."

"That's right, they are all from wealthy families. You don't have that sense of superiority when you look tall."

Gao Zheng smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he can understand Icardi's mentality. From a big club like Barcelona to a small team like Sampdoria, it is normal to feel that the young people here are not as good as him... Most of the time, the development is smooth A talented player who goes along with the flow will always be a little arrogant.

He also has arrogance, but after experiencing the experience of falling into the quagmire, he has learned to hide his arrogance, at least not as sharp as when he was proud of the youth training camp in Milan.

Thinking of this, Gao Zheng turned his head to look at Icardi. To his surprise, the other party was also looking at him. And after discovering his gaze, she didn't look away, but stared at him nakedly.

This look is just like the kicked ball back...

Gao Zheng scratched his head and took the initiative to avoid meeting Icardi's gaze.

On the last day of Gao Zheng's trial training with the Sampdoria reserve team, coach Bruni announced that an intra-team game will be arranged in the afternoon.

For Gao Zheng, this was more like an entrance exam.

So Alberto Massi has been a little nervous before the game. He hopes that Gao Zheng can stay, but he can't decide this matter. He doesn't know what decision the coaching staff will make.

This uncertainty made him a little worried about gains and losses.

Compared with him, Gao Zheng seemed much calmer.

This made Marcy admire the "big devil" even more.

"What's so admirable about this?" Gao Zheng asked strangely after hearing Marci express his admiration for him during lunch.

"This is a game related to your future. Even an outsider like me is getting nervous for you, but you...uh, you are so calm and calm."

Gao Zheng thought for a while and asked Marcy: "Alberto, do you want to hear a story?"

"Ah? What story?" Marcy hadn't reacted yet.

"A story about me, about why I came here."

"It's not because you were injured..."

"It's not just because of the injury." Then Gao Zheng told Massi the story of him leaving Milan and Italy due to the conclusion of the Milan experiment, plus everything he experienced in Sassuolo.

After hearing this, Ma Xi couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He had no idea that there was such a tortuous story behind Gao Zheng.

"Your left foot...really..." Ma Xi turned to look at Gao Zheng's left foot.

"Well. Anyway, that's what the Milan lab said."

"Then you..." Ma Xi hesitated to speak, he thought of Gao Zheng's experience in Sassuolo, and thinking about it, it's really hard to say whether Gao Zheng will stay in Sampdoria in the end.

After training with Gao Zheng for a few days, he has long been impressed by Gao Zheng's talent. He believes that if Gao Zheng's talent cannot be seen by more people, it would be a pity if he died halfway. It is not Gao Zheng's regret, but Sampdoria's regret. Pity.

"Of course, you don't have to worry, Alberto. I will do my best in the afternoon game." Gao Zheng saw Marcy's thoughts and said. "Even if I get rejected, it's not because I didn't perform well enough."

"Luciano, I heard you arranged an intra-team game this afternoon?" In the reserve team's office, Luciano Bruni met the sports manager Tosi again.

"You are very well informed, Mr. Manager."

"You know, I attach great importance to the cultivation of young players."

"Are you here to see Icardi?"

"Not at all."

"Not all?" Bruni was a little surprised.

"The guy who came to the trial training, I went back and checked, he was trained in AC Milan and won the best player of the U16?"

"You came prepared, Doriano."

Tosi laughed.

"But the information you found must not tell you why he came to us."

"I heard that he suffered a serious injury, but it doesn't matter. How many football players are not injured?"

"Then do you know that he was declared unable to adapt to professional football by the Milan laboratory?"

The smile on Tosi's face froze.

Then Bruni told him what Tosi didn't know, including how Gao Zheng went to Sassuolo for trial training and how he was rejected by Sassuolo.

"...He performed very well in the trial training, but Sassuolo still rejected him. For Sassuolo, who is budget-conscious, signing Gao Zheng is a risk, and they are not willing to take this risk."

Tosi fell silent after listening.

Signing players is not just about letting the players train with the team, it also involves many things. The team spends a lot of manpower and financial resources on each player, especially on those extremely talented young people.

Tosi was quite happy at first. With two talented players, Icardi and Gao Zheng, is it time for Sampdoria to turn around?

But now it seems that he was too happy.
