Chapter 308 I will be your opponent

Marano heard that Sampdoria rejected Inter Milan's offer for Icardi twice in a row. He knew that Sampdoria would not let Icardi go so easily. After all, he also scored 15 goals last season. What about a ball?

But Icardi had to go and could not stay in Sampdoria.

So he decided to go to Sagramola to have a good talk and tell him the player's strong desire to leave Sampdoria.

"Why do you have to go?" Sagramola asked after hearing Marano's words. "In fact, the club is planning to give Icardi a new contract, and there will be a substantial increase in both bonus and salary..."

Marano sneered in his heart, Sampdoria, a poor club, how much can it be improved even if it is improved?

But he did not show his contempt for Sampdoria in his heart, but shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with money, Mr. Sagramola. My players want a core position, not always living in someone's shadow middle."

Sagramola understood as soon as he heard that Icardi was dissatisfied with Gao Zheng. But the core thing is that he can give it if he says it? Even if he convinces head coach Di Francesco, there is still Gao Zheng.

It is absolutely impossible for Icardi to take away the core position from Gao Zheng.

But he didn't tell Marano what he thought, but he spread his hands helplessly and said, "I can't make the decision. How about I call Di Francesco and you two have a good exchange?"

Marano waved his hand: "There is no need, Mr. Manager. I just tell you that Icardi must leave Sampdoria no matter what. I hope the club will not embarrass him in this matter. In fact, his Leaving is also a good thing for you. Because he can bring a lot of transfer funds to the club."

Sagramola heard the sarcasm about Sampdoria's financial situation in the agent's words, but he did not respond to it, but said: "But in Mr. Di Francesco's plan, Icardi is a very important player.

"

"But I remember that Sampdoria is not a club where the head coach is in charge, right? Don't you have the final say on the transfer?"

"The club must also fully respect the opinion of the head coach."

"Then convince him, Mr. Manager, I believe that you are the one who is in charge of this club."

After being silent for a while, Sagramola nodded and said, "I will have a good talk with him, but I don't guarantee that the result will be as you wish."

"I await your good news, Mr. Sagramola."

After Marano left, Sagramola frowned and thought for a long time, and finally picked up the phone and called Di Francesco to his office.

"Icardi's agent said he was leaving?" After Di Francesco arrived, he was surprised to hear the news.

"Well, he doesn't want to continue living in Gao's shadow."

"But in my plan, the striker combination of the two of them is the key to our good results in the new season!" Di Francesco was a little excited.

Sagramola waved his hand, signaling him not to get excited: "Sit down."

After sitting down, Di Francesco thought for a while and said, "Could it be a foreshadowing for the exorbitant price in the contract renewal?"

"From my experience, no. Icardi really wants to go, I even think they have contacted Inter Milan in private..."

"This is against the rules!" Di Francesco became excited again.

Sagramola pressed down: "Of course it violates the rules, but everyone knows it well. This kind of thing is not uncommon. I just want to ask you, are we sure we can't do it without Icardi?"

When Di Francesco heard this sentence, he knew that in the heart of the manager, he might have made a decision. Of course, he could argue with the general manager, insist on the importance of Icardi, and even use his handsome position as an excuse. Threats, but it's useless, and the final result is that he was fired by the club and Icardi was sold in all likelihood.

At this time, he calmed down instead, and after serious thinking, he told Sagramola: "If you lose your height, it will definitely not work."

Sagramola took a long breath: "That means it's still possible without Icardi..."

"There will definitely be an impact, and the impact is not small..."

"But it's not unbearable. If Icardi can bring us more transfer funds, maybe we can find another good partner for Gao." Sagramola said.

"Good players are not so easy to find." Di Francesco reminded Sagramola.

"But a twisted melon will not be sweet. If we forcefully keep Icardi, I am afraid it will have a negative impact on the team."

Di Francesco did not nod, he expressed his attitude to the team's general manager with silence.

Sagramola didn't say a word when he saw this. In fact, the cooperation between the two of them was harmonious and successful last season. Otherwise, the team would not have won the third place in the league. He was also unwilling to offend the coach, and finally he said: "I promise you, Eusebio. After Icardi, I will not sell any of the ones you wrote on that list that you are not willing to sell. I also hope you can understand the difficulty of running the club. After the death of the old chairman, Eduardo’s attitude wavered. We have to rely more on ourselves than the blood transfusion of the Garone family. You won’t let me sell Gao, so I turned down a dozen offers for Gao, and Icardi is the most popular player in the transfer market after Gao, he can bring a good income to the club..."

Di Francesco raised his hand and interrupted Sagramola's complaining: "Since you have already made a decision, it's useless for me to persuade you, right?"

Sagramola didn't answer, just smiled.

"If Icardi must go, let him go." Di Francesco got up and left the general manager's office.

He suddenly realized that if Icardi can be sold this summer, will he bid farewell to Gao Zheng next summer?

This summer, because of Gao Zheng's own attitude, the club didn't move Gao Zheng, so what about next season? Who is right? Gao Zheng himself only said that he will definitely be in Sampdoria this summer, but did not say that he will stay in Sampdoria forever.

Sampdoria is indeed a small temple, and it is difficult to keep those talented players. It's not Sagramola's fault, it's had a lot of trouble staying afloat.

He can only comfort himself, at least Gao Zheng is still there in the new season, yes, as long as Gao Zheng is still there, he still has the confidence to lead the team forward.

But what if Gao Zheng is gone?

※※※

On the day of the team's report, Gao Zheng met Icardi, and he took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Mauro, how is your vacation?"

Unexpectedly, Icardi said to him: "I came to say goodbye to you, Gao."

"Farewell? What do you mean?" Gao Zheng didn't realize it all at once.

"I intend to leave Sampdoria."

"Why? We are going to participate in the Champions League in the new season!"

"I don't care if the Champions League is not the Champions League. To be honest, the team I'm going to doesn't even have to play the Europa League in the new season."

"Then why are you going?" Gao Zheng was dumbfounded.

"It's all because of you."

Gao Zheng spread his hands and said in surprise, "Why is it related to me again?"

"You know, I want to beat you. But we're in the same team and I can't do that. Only by leaving Sampdoria and playing against you can I have a real chance of beating you."

Hearing what Icardi said, Gao Zheng showed a very helpless expression. He didn't expect that Icardi would leave Sampdoria because of himself.

"I thought we were friends, Mauro..."

"No, we are opponents, I have always regarded you as an opponent, Gao, I want to beat you in my dreams!" Icardi was a little excited.

"Isn't it good to be teammates? Mauro, we can work together to lead Sampdoria to create more brilliant results, and winning the championship is not impossible..."

Icardi shook his head and interrupted Gao Zheng: "Do you think I'm not qualified to be your opponent, Gao?"

Gao Zheng was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"Otherwise, why are Shalawi and Cavani your opponents, but I can't be your opponent?" Icardi looked directly into Gao Zheng's eyes, if Gao Zheng avoided his eyes when he answered him , that means he lied.

But Gao Zheng didn't look away, but looked at Icardi sincerely: "But they are not my opponents, Mauro, I don't regard them as opponents."

"..." Icardi didn't expect Gao Zheng to answer like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Thinking about Gao Zheng's outstanding performance on the scorer list, it seems that he really doesn't care about Shalawi, Cavani and others...

It's just that this thought made Icardi even more angry, and he suddenly didn't want to talk to Gao Zheng anymore.

"In short, I left Sampdoria to beat you, beat you in the game, beat you in the scorer list, this time I don't need to assist you anymore!"

After throwing down such a sentence, Icardi ignored Gao Zheng and turned to leave.

Gao Zheng stared blankly at the back of Argentina leaving.

He knows that Icardi has always wanted to beat him, but he thinks this matter is too ridiculous. They are teammates and they want to help each other. What's the point of who beats whom?

He just thought it was Icardi's childishness at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the opponent would never grow up, and his obsession was so strong that he would not hesitate to transfer and leave for this reason.

So in the final analysis, he caused Icardi to leave the team?

This is a little too ridiculous, right?

This kid Icardi really doesn't look back until he hits the south wall.

He has seen how stubborn Icardi is, so he can't say anything more.

If this matter gets out and the media finds out, maybe he will be labeled as a "ball bully forcing away talented teammates" and make big news.

Gao Zheng shrugged and shook his head.

But he doesn't care.
