Prominence in Football Community

Lu Bing and Wang Yixing each bought a newspaper in the newsstand. One was the largest local newspaper in Genoa, "Nineteenth Century", and the other was also a local newspaper, "Trade Courier".

Both newspapers followed the news of Atzori's dismissal.

They bought these two newspapers because they also wanted to know about the Genoa media's reports on the matter and mobile phone news materials, which was also for the convenience of their work.

The "Nineteenth Century News" included two photos, one was Atzori's excited and angry face when he was interviewed by reporters in the car, and the other was Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng was an iconic figure during Atzoli's sacking campaign in the past few weeks. He was also portrayed by the media as a tit-for-tat person with Atzori, and his reputation is quite large.

"It's really ironic. Gao Zheng is so famous not because of his football skills, but because of the conflict with the head coach. I really don't think this is a good thing for Gao Zheng..." Wang Yixing said while patting the newspaper.

Lu Bing was looking down at the contents of the newspaper.

"Nineteenth Century News" used Gao Zheng's words as the headline yesterday: "It's dawn."

For the two Chinese reporters, Lu Bing and Wang Yixing, the meaning of this sentence is naturally clear. In fact, when he heard Gao Zheng say that, Lu Bing couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed out loud...

So Frécello asked Lu Bing specifically after he came down, apparently he heard the true meaning that Gao Zheng wanted to express.

And now the "Nineteenth Century News" uses the explanation given by Lu Bing: "... For the talented Chinese player Gao, the long night has passed and the dawn is dawning. And I think for the fans of Sampdoria. In other words, Atzori's dismissal also means that the night will pass and the dawn will come... I have to say that Gao's words make him quite a philosopher, and few players can say such philosophical words... ..."

Lu Bing also noticed that in the article, Frécello specifically wrote: "As for Atzori, whether everyone's expectations of him will make him feel pressured after class, Gao replied in this way: 'Pressure? No, this is normal. , It’s not pressure.” He seemed confident and seemed ready to play. Now the question is turned to Atzori’s successor—whoever he is, will he let Gao Zheng play? Woolen cloth?"

This was indeed the question that Frécello asked at the time. Lu Bing felt that Frécello asked himself and Wang Yixing on purpose, just to prove what he said.

Wang Yixing also noticed this description in the newspaper, but he had a different opinion: "Of course Gao Zheng won't give up at this time. No matter how much pressure there is, he can't tell the truth. I think this statement is meaningless, and we still have to Look at the actual performance."

Lu Bing nodded, and he also agreed with this point of view. In football, it is not as important to play well as to speak well.

"What a mistake... I think Gao Zheng should play steadily and gradually appear in everyone's field of vision. It's better not to be too eye-catching. His performance on the field is not good but not bad. Slowly accumulate experience, Gradually become a member of the team, instead of being pushed to the front all at once." Wang Yixing shook his head, after chatting with Frachelo yesterday, he still insisted on his point of view, this should not be a The path that a normal young player should take, is pushed into the spotlight when he is not ready, and is famous but also ruined by crazy expectations.

Lu Bing didn't answer, because he was thinking about what Fritchello had said in his heart.

Is our worry really a lack of confidence in Gao Zheng?

To be honest, although Gao Zheng won the best U16 player in the AC Milan youth team when he was young, but that is the level of youth football after all. The youth team is far behind the youth team, and the youth team is even worse than the professional team. One hundred and eight thousand miles.

The honors and achievements of his youth are not an insurance contract for his future.

Almost every Chinese has heard of such a story that it may not be good when it is young.

So because of this, it is normal for us to be worried about Gao Zheng's ability to adapt to the real professional league and whether he can perform well in the professional league.

After all, there is a huge gap between Chinese football and the top European football, and the results of Chinese professional players studying abroad in Europe are not good. We don't have much successful experience in this area to give people confidence.

Let’s say Dong Fangzhuo, who is a genius, joined Manchester United back then, how did the domestic media hype him up? What "the old man is impressed by the Chinese genius", what "the English media exclaimed 'King Dong'", what "the king Dong is not as talented as Ronaldo"... What is the result? Now Dong Fangzhuo has become one of the reasons why many people laugh at Chinese football. Those flattery back then have now all become slaps on Dong Fangzhuo’s face... But the problem is that these flattery are not what Dong Fangzhuo asked for, not all of them Is the rabid media and fans to blame?

Wang Yixing was worried that Gao Zheng would become the second Dong Fangzhuo, and Lu Bing was also worried.

So is this a lack of confidence in Gao Zheng?

Gao Zheng's performance in the reserve team was excellent, but this was all learned by the media through other people's narration. Several of Lu Bing, Wang Yixing, and other media colleagues who praised Gao Zheng to the sky watched continuously on the spot. Gao Zheng's competition? What is Gao Zheng's technical level, what is his playing style, and what is his physical fitness... I am afraid that many people can't tell clearly.

Under such circumstances, it seems quite normal to have little confidence in Gao Zheng...

While Lu Bing was meditating, Wang Yixing picked up the "Trade Courier" again. In addition to discussing Atzori's dismissal, it was also discussing who would become the new head coach. There are some candidates listed above, but at present, former Brescia coach Giuseppe Iachini is the closest to Sampdoria, and Sampdoria's attitude towards this coach is also the most proactive.

Because Giuseppe Iachini, who once won the best coach in Serie A, has a nickname "upgrade expert"-this coach led Chievo and Brescia from the second division in the 2006-2007 season and 2009-2010 season. to Class A.

Seeing this, Wang Yixing suddenly interrupted Lu Bing's thinking with a low cry.

"We ignored another thing!" He said to Lu Bing with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?"

"The Genoa media hyped up the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atezoli so crazily, which eventually led to Atezoli's dismissal. So what will the new coach think about this matter, and what attitude will he have towards Gao Zheng? Will he think that Gao Zheng Is he a troublesome person? Will he be prejudiced against Gao Zheng because of this? Will Gao Zheng not be liked by the new head coach because of this matter?"

"But I don't think any head coach will stumble over the same stone after going through this incident just now, right?" Even Lu Bing felt that Wang Yixing was thinking too much this time.

"There must be a group of harmony on the surface, but who knows what the coach thinks in his heart? There will always be some grudges, right? Anyway, I think the Italian media may be unintentional. I can't say that they eat human blood, but their behavior Objectively, it did cause trouble for Gao Zheng."

Lu Bing shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Although Wang Yixing's worries are not unreasonable, but he always feels that this kind of worry is too much and it will add to the chaos, but he can't refute Wang Yixing, he can't say "No, Yakini is not such a narrow-minded person", Then Wang Yixing only needed to ask him back, "How do you know what people think?" He was speechless.

So now he can only keep silent.

With two days left before the next round of the league, Zamoragera brought a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap to the first-team training ground.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the team's new head coach, Mr. Giuseppe Iachini. I hope everyone can support his work!"

Iachini took off his peaked cap and greeted everyone: "I am very happy to be your head coach. I hope to work with you happily. We have a common goal, which is to upgrade. I have the confidence and ability to lead everyone to upgrade. But it requires everyone's cooperation, so let's work together."

After saying this, Yakini turned his attention to Gao Zheng who was in the crowd.

The face of the influential figure in the media recently was calm, with a smile similar to that of other players, as if wearing a mask, making it difficult for people to see what he was thinking.
