Prominence in Football Community

Lu Bing looked around, looked at the crowded media seats, and couldn't help feeling: "There are so many reporters in a Serie B game, it's like a group of sharks smelling blood."

Wang Yixing who was next to him quickly said, "Hey, we are also reporters!"

Lu Bing smiled: "Didn't we follow the smell of blood?"

When they first found out that Gao Zheng was in Sampdoria, the domestic media was very excited for a while. After all, as a talented player who has been famous for a long time, football reporters are no strangers to Gao Zheng. After leaving AC Milan due to a serious injury, I can still see him rise again. This is simply a living inspirational drama!

Too gimmick too hype value.

So hula la ten Chinese journalists gathered in Boriasco, where the Sampdoria training base is located. In this small town with a small population, they immediately became the most watched group.

The residents of the small town of Boriasco naturally knew what these Chinese reporters were doing here, and they all gave a thumbs up and said "high". This made the Chinese reporters very excited and felt that they were really in the right place.

So one report after another about Gao Zheng flew back to China.

At that time, Chinese fans were most familiar with articles like this:

"Small town residents praised Gao Zheng, calling him the hope of Sampdoria!" "

"Gao in the eyes of Sampdoria fans: He is a peerless genius! "

"I saw Gao Zheng's photo in a bakery, his popularity is beyond your imagination! "

"The bakery owner tells about a Gao Zheng we don't know! "

"Small Town Celebrity Gao Zheng! "

"The core of the reserve team once staged a super god battle in the finals!" "

...

At that time, the Chinese football world had just experienced a storm of cracking down on crime, and even the executives of the Football Association were not spared. People who used to be on news programs were jailed.

Chinese football also fell into a period of low tide.

At this time, everyone needs an inspiring character too much.

The reappearance of Gao Zheng, a super genius who was once highly expected by everyone, was so timely.

Gao Zheng, who appeared like a phoenix from nirvana, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After confirming that Gao Zheng has entered the squad of Sampdoria's first team, everyone began to look forward to Gao Zheng's ability to represent the first team in the league.

Although it is Serie B and there is no domestic broadcast rights, everyone is still looking forward to it.

But he didn't wait until Gao Zheng appeared.

Not only the league, everyone went to the pre-season warm-up match, and there was no record of Gao Zheng's appearance.

Although everyone knows that there is still a big gap between the reserve team and the first team. If the reserve team plays well, it may not be possible to play in the first team immediately, and it still needs to adapt.

But with such a high degree of attention, the Chinese media are still very frustrated and frustrated that they can't even enter the big list every game.

At the press conference, Chinese reporters asked the head coach Atzuoli when Gao Zheng would be able to play. Every time Atzuoli always said that Gao Zheng was not ready and his body was not strong enough to fight against the second team. The brutal and rude defense in the first division.

Later, the reporters didn't ask any more questions, because if they asked, the answer would definitely be the same, and they would never be ready. But it is not easy to become stronger, it is not a one-time thing, it is a long-term process.

Doesn't that mean that Gao Zheng won't be able to get a chance to play this season?

The reporters were quite critical of the head coach's arrangement, and they could also see that the head coach's attitude towards Chinese reporters like them was not very good, and he was very perfunctory when answering. So another reason why the reporters are not asking is that they are worried that they will offend the head coach and let the head coach vent his anger on Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng will not be on stage.

Lacking enough news materials, it is meaningless to stay here. After all, they have spent so much human, financial and material resources to report Gao Zheng in a foreign country. If Gao Zheng doesn't even have a chance to perform for a minute, they really have nothing to report yes.

When I first came to Boriasco, I felt that this place was a treasure trove about Gao Zheng. Anyone who came to the street could tell you about Gao Zheng for a long time. But as Gao Zheng was unable to appear for a long time, there was nothing new to say about the situation in the small town.

It would be unwise to stay here at such a time.

So Chinese journalists began to leave Boliasco, Genoa, and Italy one after another.

Up to now, there are only two people left, Lu Bing and Wang Yixing. Both of them are still journalists stationed in Italy, but they have also returned to their respective cities, one in Milan and the other in Rome.

If they hadn't heard that Gao Zheng had been included in the squad before this game, they probably wouldn't have come.

They came to expect Gao Zheng to play in the game, but those Italian colleagues probably didn't focus on Gao Zheng. They came to witness Atzori's final fate.

Lu Bing knew this very well, so he felt that those Italian colleagues were sharks who smelled blood—he was not mocking his colleagues, but teasing Atzoli, a dying man.

Lu Bing would be very happy if Atzori was dismissed from get out of class, but it was not because the coach had a bad attitude towards Chinese journalists. It's obvious.

He just thought that Gao Zheng's situation might change if Atzuoli dismissed get out of class.

Just two weeks ago, Genoa's largest local media "Nineteenth Century" exposed the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atzori, saying that their tension was not caused by Gao Zheng's delay in getting an appearance. On the contrary, Gao Zheng was unable to get even a minute of chance to play under Atzori because of the conflict between the two.

"Nineteenth Century News" interviewed a person close to Gao Zheng who was said to have a very close relationship with Gao Zheng, and learned the reason for the conflict from this person - it is said that Atzori deliberately targeted Gao Zheng in the team. Zheng, this may be because Gao Zheng is a Chinese player.

Atzori later denied that he had racially discriminated against Gao Zheng in an interview. He said that he had no problem with Gao Zheng, and the media was just talking nonsense.

What is worth pondering is Gao Zheng's answer in the interview.

He first denied that he had conflicts with the head coach, and then he said that it was just that the two of them had some disagreements and differences in football.

“…he asked me to play a traditional big centre-forward, to fight the defenders in front of goal, to create chances for teammates, to occupy space in the box. I tried very hard to do what he said, but maybe it was mine. The ability is far from meeting the requirements of the coach, so there has been no progress until now..."

When Gao Zheng said these words, he looked depressed, as if he was really disappointed by his "incompetence".

But if you think about it carefully, you can guess another meaning of these words-looking at Gao Zheng's body, combined with other people's evaluation of Gao Zheng's style of play, how could Gao Zheng be a big center forward? Atzuoli still insisted on making Gao Zheng transform, did his mind get flooded?

Last season, Bruni, head coach of the Sampdoria reserve team, stood up for an interview after the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atzori was exposed, saying that Atzori did not find Gao Zheng's instruction manual and adopted the wrong method. How could it be possible to see a Gao Zheng like that in the reserve team? He also criticized Atzori for doing so will only increase Gao Zheng's risk of injury, which is not helping Gao Zheng improve, but will ruin a genius.

Bruni led Sampdoria to the reserve league championship last season. His correct use of Gao Zheng was an important reason why the Sampdoria reserve team was able to counterattack and win the championship in the second half of last season.

He is not a well-known person in the coaching world, but in terms of understanding of Gao Zheng, I am afraid that no one can match him.

With the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atzuoli as the fuse, there was a wave of calls in the media for Atzuoli to dismiss get out of class.

Wang Yixing was also looking at those Italian colleagues, and he frowned: "Old Lu, of course I also hope that Atzoli will go away, but I am also a little worried."

Lu Bing asked strangely: "Worried? What are you worried about?"

"I think it's obvious that the Genoa media used Gao Zheng as a weapon in order to bring down Atezoli. The whole thing broke out because the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atezoli was exposed, in order to make their actions sufficient Convincing and legitimacy, they blew up Gao Zheng as a peerless genius in the publicity - I have read a lot of reports about Gao Zheng from our colleagues during this time, and they dug into Gao Zheng's training at the AC Milan youth academy. history, and Gao Zheng won the honor of the U16 player of the year... As a result, AC Milan lay down the gun and let Gao Zheng's youth training director Philip Galli be considered blind... Now there is such a trend of thought, Anyone who is on the opposite side of Gao Zheng is a villain. To be honest, I don't like this kind of thinking very much, I think it is very dangerous."

After hearing Wang Yixing's words, Lu Bing's expression became serious.

Because he felt that what Wang Yixing said made sense.

In order to get Atzori out of class, the entire Genoa media fell into a certain fanatical atmosphere. Judging from their flattery, it seems that whether Sampdoria can return to the First Division depends on whether Gao Zheng can play the game. Atzori's biggest crime for dismissing get out of class is to continue playing like this. Sampdoria will be farther and farther away from promotion, and the reason why the results are so poor is that Gao Zheng has never been allowed to play...

Doesn't this mean that Gao Zheng's appearance in the game is forcibly linked to the future and fate of Sampdoria's promotion?

There is a word called "boosting".

Although the praise of the Genoa media may make Chinese fans feel happy.

But reasonable people should smell danger from such flattery.

For a young man, such flattery is very harmful.

After Atzori is out of class, the media can't say that what they said before doesn't count, can they? Everyone will deeply remember how the media praised Gao Zheng.

At that time, the pressure will all be on Gao Zheng.

No matter how high he is praised now, I am afraid he will fall hard when the time comes.

Even if there is a small problem, it will be magnified countless times, and then it will be grabbed.

Even many experienced veteran players may not be able to bear such pressure, let alone young players.

Perhaps for Gao Zheng, Atzuoli's dismissal does not mean that he turned over, but another terrible trap...
