Prominence in Football Community

After all the reserve team games in the three groups of ABC are over, the teams participating in the playoffs will be announced.

The first place in Group A is the Genoa reserve team, the second Juventus reserve team, the third Fiorentina reserve team, the fourth Turin reserve team, and the fifth Sampdoria reserve team.

The five teams that qualified for the playoffs in Group B are the Varese reserve team, the Atlanta reserve team, the AC Milan reserve team, the Inter Milan reserve team, and the Chievo reserve team.

Only four teams in Group C qualified for the playoffs, namely the Rome reserve team, Lazio reserve team, Catania reserve team, and Siena reserve team.

The third to fifth places in Groups A and B, and the third and fourth places in Group C, these eight teams will first draw lots to determine the qualifying matchup. After two rounds of confrontation, the two winning teams will participate in the final finals.

This is the arrangement of the 2010-2011 Italian Reserve League. At present, Italy does not have a nationwide reserve league, so it can only use this method of first divisional competitions and then playoffs. There is also no reserve team that can play in the lower leagues like Spain.

Before the start of the training, the players of the reserve team changed their clothes in the locker room, rested, adjusted their disordered mentality due to the rich night life last night, and sat and prepared for the upcoming training. Before the start of training every day, this room is always like this, and there is nothing special about it.

Until the assistant coach Cascilio pushed the door in with a piece of paper in his hand, and stuck the paper on the white magnetic tactical board with a magnet.

"The result of the qualifying match for the playoffs."

After speaking, he turned around and left the locker room, leaving the time and space here to the players.

He went out with his front foot, and someone came up to him with his back foot.

"Who are we going to?" Someone didn't join in the fun, but just sat on the bench and asked his teammates loudly.

"Our opponent is..." Alberto Massi was at the front, but he got stuck before finishing his sentence.

"What's the matter? Alberto, what the hell?" goalkeeper Tozzo joked, drawing laughter from the rest of the dressing room.

"Get out of the way, let me see..." Kosticic squeezed Massi away, and then shouted: "We are away to AC Milan!"

"Oh, you can go to the training base of the giants and experience it!" Someone whistled.

But soon a strange atmosphere spread in the locker room - everyone turned their attention to Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng raised his hands: "Look at what I'm doing? I'm not familiar with the current AC Milan reserve team. I don't know their staffing, tactical arrangements, etc..."

※※※

On the sidelines of the training field, the sports manager Tosi stared at Gao Zheng, trying to see something different from him.

"Do you see anything, Mr. Manager?" Bruni asked next to him.

Tosi frowned and stared for a while before shaking his head: "Maybe I don't pay enough attention to Gao, I don't see any difference from the usual him..."

"That's right, he's acting normal."

"He should know our opponent in the next game?" Tosi asked.

"Alfredo has posted the match sheet in the locker room."

"That's strange...does he not mind about that?"

"How could you not care?"

"Then why now..."

"That's exactly what he cares about, Mr. Manager." Bruni sighed.

Tosi looked at Bruni: "Can you finish the sentence at once? Don't make me act like an idiot."

Bruni smiled slightly when he heard Tosi say: "In this team, Gao wants to beat AC Milan the most. But because of this,

To beat AC Milan, he has to stay focused, both in training and in games. Are you so busy looking at the highs that you don't notice that our other players are more impetuous than usual in training, Mr. Manager? "

Tosi heard what Bruni said, and then turned to look at other players. After observing carefully for a while, he saw at least three cases of active mistakes in training.

"This……"

"They have already thought about the game in seven days, but Gao is only focused on the immediate training. This is the difference between them. Mr. Manager, I don't want to pour cold water on it, but in fact there is a big gap in strength between us and AC Milan. Yes, don’t expect us to get past AC Milan in the first qualifying round if you don’t focus on the training in front of you.”

After speaking, he took out his whistle, blew the whistle to suspend training, and then strode onto the court.

Soon there was Bruni's roar on the training ground, and it was quite different from the calm face just now...

Amidst the roar, Bruni turned his attention to Gao Zheng again.

Many players were scolded by Bruni with their heads buried in their heads. Only Gao Zheng, like a normal person, looked around leisurely, no different from his usual self...

After training, when they came out of the locker room and walked through the parking lot, Massie was still crying. Today they were punished for training after being scolded severely by the head coach, and they were exhausted. In the words of coach Bruni, they have no energy to think about things they shouldn't think about.

"Don't think too much, Alberto, you have to concentrate on training. Look, I haven't been scolded by the coach." Gao Zheng also comforted him. "Looking at your performance, I thought you were abandoned by AC Milan..."

"Yeah, I can't figure it out. You are the one who was abandoned, why are you so calm?" Marcy stared at Gao Zheng.

Just as Gao Zheng opened his mouth, he saw a familiar figure outside the gate.

He shouted in surprise: "Uncle Guo?!"

The bald middle-aged man who was standing with his back to the gate turned around and also saw Gao Zheng, with a smile on his face: "Xiao Gao, are you done training?"

"Yes." Gao Zheng pulled Marci and introduced to Guo Wei, "This is Alberto Marci, you have seen it before."

"Hi, I'm glad Gao has a friend like you in the locker room." Guo Wei said in Italian, and shook his hand.

"Hello." Ma Xi bid farewell to Li Gaozheng tactfully, "I'm leaving first."

Gao Zheng waved his hand: "Go, don't think too much, stay focused, Alberto, focus is the most important thing."

"I will, Big Devil." After saying that, Marcy ran away. "I would do anything to win!"

"What did he call you just now?" Guo Wei was very surprised.

"Uh..." Gao Zheng briefly introduced the origin of the nickname.

After listening to it, Guo Wei laughed loudly: "Don't say it, this nickname is well acquired! It seems that you get along well with your teammates, so I am relieved."

Gao Zheng smiled and said, "Uncle Guo, what did you say, where did I not get along well with people? You see, I met someone in Sassuolo, didn't I?"

Gao Zheng took the initiative to mention Sassuolo, but Guo Wei was a little embarrassed. After all, this was a period of time that he didn't want to recall.

But Gao Zheng didn't show anything unusual: "Speaking of Sassuolo, Uncle Guo, do you know that their reserve team is still in the same group as the Sampdoria reserve team, but I didn't meet them. It's a pity, I can't catch up with that boy Berardi..."

It's a pity you couldn't beat them on the court, right?

Guo Wei thought to himself, and then said: "Let's go, get in the car, I'll treat you to dinner. Let's talk slowly at the dinner table."

PS, the French team won, in line with my prediction, a small victory with one goal.

This is basically how the strong teams in this World Cup played against seemingly weak teams.

At the time of the update, I didn't know the result of the match between Argentina and Croatia. This is the real highlight of the night!
