Prominence in Football Community

Chapter 87 Time is running out

The story of "I can actually save it" engraved on the tombstone really happened!

Remember the article "The Death of a Genius" I wrote a year ago?

At the end of the article, I pessimistically think that Gao Zheng, the talented player who once gave me high hopes, has died.

But what I never expected was that the genius I thought was so cold turned out to be a genius!

Two months ago, some Chinese fans came across an interview report on the official website of Sampdoria... The content of the report was to introduce to Sampdoria fans two young players who performed well in the reserve team last season. He led the reserve team to win last season's reserve team league championship under the circumstances that no one was optimistic about.

Of these two talented young men, one is Argentine and the other is actually a Chinese player!

On Sampdoria's official website, the Chinese player is called "GAO".

Yes, seeing this, I believe everyone must have guessed that the person in that report is Gao Zheng!

It's unbelievable, isn't it?

When I heard the news, my first reaction was that someone on the Internet is so boring, P a fake picture to play a prank, Gao Zheng is already dead in the hearts of many fans, let him rest in peace, don't take it again and again Come out for a joke.

I even thought that some people were just criticizing Chinese football in the name of Gao Zheng.

Although I once criticized Gao Zheng, I don't want him to be taken out and consumed repeatedly after leaving football.

It is best to let him return to the peaceful life of ordinary people.

With the purpose of refuting the rumors, I also went to Sampdoria's official website, and then I actually saw the report, and the person in the photo was Gao Zheng!

I can't believe my eyes...

Gao Zheng not only won the reserve team championship in the Sampdoria reserve team, he was also transferred to the first team in the new season!

Although Sampdoria is currently relegated to the second division, it is still considered a professional league.

A player who was once terminated by AC Milan due to injury and reduced to playing on the domestic field, hadn't seen him for more than a year, and registered as a professional player in a professional team!

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a dream...

Then I sorted out my findings and posted them on Weibo.

This was originally for my own entertainment as a former Gao Zheng fan.

But unexpectedly, it attracted a lot of attention and forwarding, and even attracted media reporters.

I think those reporters should have followed the same path as me - go to Sampdoria's official website to collect information and confidence, but this is just the beginning, they should have a wider relationship network and news channels than me, an ordinary fan .

So next, I saw more and more news reports about Gao Zheng in the media.

Some reporters even went to Genoa, Italy specifically for Gao Zheng.

With more and more reports, we understand more and more why Gao Zheng appeared in Sampdoria-after returning home for a year because of a foot injury, he went to Italy to pursue his football dream again.

I thought Gao Zheng on the football field was dead, but it turned out that I wrongly blamed him.

When almost everyone gave up on him, at least Gao Zheng didn't give up on himself.

I was happy and blamed myself when I saw this news.

I am happy that Gao Zheng can return to the court, but I also blame myself for hurting him verbally.

When people on the Internet have arranged and ridiculed him as a joke, Gao Zheng is working hard silently where we can't see it.

He ran hard, perhaps just to catch up with the self who had been placed with high hopes.

Come on, Gao Zheng, I hope to see you on CCTV's Serie A broadcast next year!

——A certain netizen "He ran just to catch up with his former self"

Gao Zheng sat on the visiting team's bench at the Rigamonti Stadium,

Wrapped in a thick sports down jacket. Brescia is located in the back of Italy, and the night in early November has already had an obvious chill. As a substitute player, he must keep warm to avoid muscle stiffness caused by the cold, which may lead to strain.

He huddled himself in the shadow of the canopy of the bench so that the lights on the canopy of the stands opposite the bench would not dazzle his eyes.

Then he slid his body down a little bit and leaned against the back of the bench seat. Although only half of his buttocks were on the seat, it was more comfortable and relieved the numbness of his buttocks caused by sitting in the same position for too long. discomfort.

He has been sitting on the bench for a long time, and the game has reached the 75th minute, not counting injury time, and there are still 15 minutes before the end of the game.

The score is 1:0, and Brescia, who are playing at home, are in the lead.

Gao Zheng, whose eyes were hidden in the shadows, cast his gaze on the back of coach Atezori standing in front of the bench.

Although his expression cannot be seen, it can still be seen from his body language that he is anxious.

Of course, anxiety is normal, after all, he is like an ant on a hot pot now.

Gao Zheng took his hand out of the warm pocket of the down jacket, then pulled the zipper on the collar all the way to his head, and raised the collar of the down jacket up, covering his nose and mouth.

It seemed that he was a little afraid of the cold.

But in fact, Gao Zheng just didn't want his gloating expression to be captured by the media.

When Beckham moved to Real Madrid, his wife Victoria once warned her husband: "Make sure you have a smile on your face, and if the camera is on you, don't let others notice it."

Don't think that just sitting on the bench won't go unnoticed, modern football is so well televised that even a small move on the bench can arouse media interest after the game. Gao Zheng doesn't want to be misunderstood by Sampdoria fans that he has no sympathy for the team's situation.

"There is not much time left for Atzori!" TV commentator Valentino Silio, who was sitting in the commentary booth, teased. "Now it seems that the last 2-0 home defeat to Crotone is more like a flashback. If he loses this game, his coaching position may not be guaranteed. In the first thirteen rounds of the league, Artezori's ball The team only won four games, drew six and lost three, and ranked ninth with 18 points...Speaking of which, Atzori’s troubles during this period are not limited to the team’s poor record.”

Atezori did not appear on the monitor screen, so Sirio leaned forward and looked down, and saw Atezoli standing in front of the Sampdoria bench. He turned around and looked at the bench. This is to prepare Has someone changed?

"Atezori still has the last substitution spot in his hand. The team is now one goal behind and needs to strengthen the offense. And there are two forwards on the bench: Christian Bertani, and the other is Gao. This It is the first time that Gao has entered the squad for the competition this season. According to local media reports in Genoa, the Chinese genius who was promoted from the reserve team had a tense relationship with Atezori. He trains alone..."

Gao Zheng noticed that Atzuoli turned around, his eyes quickly swept over himself, and then fell on another striker Christian Bertani who was one person away from him.

"Bertani, why are you still in a daze!" He scolded all over his head and face.

Bertani looked confused, not understanding what was wrong with him.

"Didn't I ask you to warm up!" Atzori roared.

Bertani was aggrieved: "When did you tell me to warm up, coach?"

"Cut the fucking bullshit! NOW! NOW!"

"Crazy..." Bertani muttered in a low voice, got up from the bench, took off his thick coat, and ran to the warm-up area.

Hearing Bertani's complaint, Gao Zheng couldn't help laughing again, of course the smile was perfectly blocked behind his collar.

Christian Bertani was bought by Atzori himself, and was once considered to be a direct descendant of Atzori.

But now this direct player's impression of the head coach is not much better.

Gao Zheng thought of an idiom: All betray relatives.

In the past few months, he really witnessed how Atzoli killed himself.

It is a strange thing that he rules the army with an iron fist, but turns all the players into his enemies.

Sampdoria's performance so far this season is not good. In addition to the low level of the head coach, the players' reluctance to work for the head coach may also be taken into account.

"Atezori called Bertani. It seems that Gao will lose the opportunity to play for the first time in the season. When you need to give it a go, choose a player with more experience and proven ability in the second division. Forward, of course there is no problem. But due to the recent exposure of Gao and his personal grievances, if Bertani is unable to turn the tide after playing, then the Genoa media seem to have something to say after the game." The TV broadcast Come and hear the voice of the narrator Cyrio. "I don't know if Bertani can save the manager who brought him to Sampdoria..."

Borata, who was sitting on the sofa, snorted: "God bless, don't save this bastard! I would rather Sampdoria lose this game than let this idiot continue to coach! If let him coach By the end of the season, maybe we will have to play in the third division next season! Kavasin last season, Atezori this season. Why do we always meet such idiots!"

PS, the World Cup is over, and I am very sad. After getting used to the life of staying up late to watch football for a month, I am not used to the sudden return to normal routine.

We all know that the UEFA Champions League is the football event with the highest level and the highest technical and tactical gold content in the world, but in terms of influence, it is still the first in the World Cup.

why?

In addition to the fact that the World Cup is a confrontation between countries, I think it is only held every four years is also an important reason.

After all, how many four years does everyone have?

The first time I came into contact with the World Cup was in 1994, and now it has been seven World Cups. I have also changed from a hazy elementary school student to a father whose children are about to enter elementary school.

The World Cup records not only the glory and tears of those stars, but also my life.

I am afraid that every fan has his own unique World Cup experience.

The same is true for those players. A professional player has less than four years. When he is at his peak, he may miss the World Cup. That's why we care so much about Ronaldo and Messi's trip to this World Cup, because after four years, it may be difficult for them to participate in the World Cup at their age, and in the club, they should maintain a high level for two more seasons. There is no suspense.

Rare things are more expensive, and the World Cup is only held every four years, so its influence is naturally unprecedented.

Anyway, this World Cup is over, I am very happy to be able to spend this unforgettable month with you through X**C activities and this chapter.

Four years later, let us see you again at the World Cup in Qatar!

Thank you for your company!
