Chapter 308: I'm going to be your opponent
Marano heard that Sampdoria had rejected Inter Milan's offer of Icardi twice in a row, and he knew that Sampdoria would not let Icardi go so easily, after all, he also scored 15 goals last season.
But Icardi must go again and cannot stay in Sampdoria.
So he decided to talk to Sagramola and tell him about the player's strong desire to leave Sampdoria.
"Why do you have to go?" Sagramola asked after listening to Marano. "In fact, the club is planning to give Icardi a new contract, which will have a big increase in both bonuses and salaries......
Marano sneered in his heart, Sampdoria, a poor club, how much can it improve even if it is improved?
But instead of showing his inner disdain for Sampdoria, he shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with money, Mr. Sagramola." My players want to be at the heart of the game, not to live in someone's shadow all the time. ”
Sagramola understood as soon as she heard it, and Icardi was not satisfied with Gao Zheng's hand. But the core of this, which is what he can give? Even if he convinces head coach Di Francesco, there is still the mountain of Gao Zheng.
Icardi wants to snatch the core position from Gao Zheng, and it is impossible to succeed.
However, he did not share his thoughts with Marano, but spread his hands helplessly and said, "I can't be the master." Why don't I call Di Francisco and you have a good exchange? ”
Marano waved his hand: "There's no need for that, Mr. Manager." I'm just telling you that Icardi is going to leave Sampdoria anyway and I hope the club doesn't embarrass him about it. In fact, his departure is a good thing for you. Because he was able to bring a lot of transfer money to the club. ”
Sagramora picked up on the agent's sarcasm about Sampdoria's finances, but instead of responding, he said: "But Icardi is a very important player in Di Francesco's plans. ”
"But I remember Sampdoria wasn't a manager-led club, right? Don't you have the final say on transfers? ”
"The club also has to fully respect the manager's opinion."
"Then convince him, Mr. Manager, that I believe you are the one who is the master of this club."
After a moment of silence, Sagramora nodded, "I'll have a good talk with him, but I can't guarantee that it will turn out the way you want." ”
"I await your good news, Mr. Sagramola."
After Marano left, Sagramora frowned and thought for a long time, finally picking up the phone and calling Di Francesco to his office.
"Icardi's agent said he was leaving?" When Di Francisco arrived, he was surprised to hear the news.
"Well, he doesn't want to continue to live in the shadow of the high."
"But in my plan, the combination of the two of them is the key to a good result for us this season!" Di Francisco was a little excited.
Sagramola waved his hand and motioned for him not to get excited: "Sit down, sit down." ”
Di Francesco sat down and thought for a moment and said, "Could it be a foreshadowing of the sky-high price in the contract renewal?" ”
"In my experience, no. Icardi really wanted to go, and I even think they had been in contact with Inter in private......"
"It's against the law!" Di Francisco was agitated again.
Sagramola pressed down: "Of course it's against the law, but everyone knows it, this kind of thing is not unusual." I just wanted to ask you, are we not going to be able to do without Icardi? ”
When Di Francisco heard this, he knew that in the manager's mind, perhaps a decision had been made, and of course he could argue with the general manager to assert Icardi's importance, and even threaten his own position, but it didn't work, and the final result was that he was sacked by the club and Icardi was sold.
At this time, he calmed down, thought about it carefully, and then told Sagramola: "If you don't have a height, you will definitely not work." ”
Sagramora sighed: "That means it's still okay without Icardi......"
"There will definitely be an impact, and the impact is not small......"
"But it's not unaffordable, if Icardi can bring us more transfer funds, maybe we can find another good partner for Gao." Sagramora said, spreading his hands.
"Good players aren't that easy to find." Di Francesco reminded Sagramora.
"But a twisted melon won't be sweet. If we force Icardi to stay, I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on the team. ”
Di Francesco did not nod his head and expressed his attitude to the general manager of the team with silence.
Sagramola didn't say anything when he saw this, in fact, the cooperation between the two of them last season was generally harmonious and successful, otherwise the team would not have finished third in the league. He didn't want to offend the manager, and finally he said: "I promise you, Eusebio. After Icardi, I'm not going to sell any of the players you've put on that list that you don't want to sell. I also hope you understand the difficulties of running a club. After the death of the old chairman, Eduardo's attitude wavered, and we had to count more on ourselves than on the blood transfusion of the Garrone family. You won't let me sell Gao, so I turned down a dozen offers about Gao, and Icardi is the most popular player in the transfer market other than Gao, and he can bring in a decent amount of income for the club......"
Di Francesco raised his hand and interrupted Sagramola's complaint: "Since you have already made a decision, it is useless for me to advise, right?" ”
Sagramola didn't answer, just smiled.
"If Icardi must go, let him go." Di Francisco got up and left the general manager's office.
He suddenly realized that he could sell Icardi this summer, so will he say goodbye to Gao Zheng next summer?
Because of Gao Zheng's own attitude this summer, the club didn't move Gao Zheng, so what about next season? Who's right? Gao Zheng himself only said that he would definitely be in Sampdoria this summer, but did not say that he would stay in Sampdoria forever.
Sampdoria is indeed a small temple and it will be difficult to keep those talented players. It's not Sagramora's fault, and there are many difficulties in 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 this team forward.
But what if Gao Zheng is gone?
※※※
On the day of the team's report, Gao Zheng saw Icardi, and he took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Mauro, how was the holiday?" ”
Unexpectedly, Icardi said to him, "I'm here to say goodbye to you, Gao." ”
"Farewell? What do you mean? Gao Zheng didn't react at once.
"I'm going to leave Sampdoria."
"Why? We're going to the Champions League in the new season! ”
'I don't care if it's the Champions League or not, to be honest, the team I'm going to hasn't even had to play in 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 out his hands and said in surprise: "Why is it related to me again?" ”
"You know, I want to beat you. But we're on a team and I can't do that. Only by leaving Sampdoria and being your opponent can I really have a chance to beat you. ”
Hearing Icardi say this, Gao Zheng showed a very helpless expression, he didn't expect Icardi to leave Sampdoria because of himself.
"I thought we were friends, Mauro ......"
"No, we're rivals, I've always treated you as an opponent, Gao, I never dreamed of beating you!" Icardi was a little excited.
"Isn't it good to be a teammate? Mauro, we can partner together to lead Sampdoria to more brilliant results, and it is not impossible to win the championship......"
Icardi shook his head and interrupted Gao Zheng's words: "Do you think I'm not qualified to be your opponent, Gao?" ”
Gao Zheng was surprised: "Why do you say that?" ”
"Otherwise, why are Shaarawy and Cavani your opponents, but I can't be your opponents?" Icardi looked directly into Gao Zheng's eyes, and if Gao Zheng avoided his eyes when answering him, it would mean that he was lying.
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, but he didn't know what to say all of a sudden.
Thinking about Gao Zheng's unparalleled performance in the scorer list, he really doesn't seem to be in the eyes of Shaarawy and Cavani......
It's just that this thought made Icardi even more angry, and he suddenly didn't want to talk to Gao Zheng anymore.
"Anyway, I left Sampdoria to beat you, to beat you in the game, to beat you in the scorer charts, and I don't have to support you this time!"
After throwing off such a sentence, Icardi ignored Gao Zheng and turned to leave.
Gao Zheng stared blankly at the back of Argentina leaving.
He knew Icardi had always wanted to beat him, but he thought it was ridiculous, they were teammates and they were meant to help each other, so what was the point of beating whom?
He was only childish at the beginning of Icardi, but he didn't expect that the other party would never grow up, and his obsession was so strong that he did not hesitate to transfer and leave for this reason.
So at the end of the day, it was Icardi who caused Icardi's departure?
That's kind of ridiculous, isn't it?
Icardi, this kid really doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back.
He had seen how stubborn Icardi was, and he couldn't say anything more.
If this matter is spread and the media knows about it, it will be difficult to deduct the hat of "the ball bully forcing away the talented teammates" and make a big news.
Gao Zheng shrugged and shook his head.
But he didn't care.
