Chapter Ninety-One: It's Daylight
After Atezori's departure, the reporters dispersed and continued to wait outside the training base for the players who had finished training, and they wanted to ask the players for some thoughts and opinions about the manager's dismissal.
However, an Italian colleague came up and patted Lu Bing and Wang Yixing on the shoulder: "Don't take it to heart, it's just the nonsense of a madman." β
Lu Bing shook his head: "That's a vicious curse. β
"It's okay, it's not the Middle Ages anymore, and curses and stuff don't create irresistible magic." The journalist laughed and held out his hand to the two: "Introduce yourself, El Γrio Frecello, a journalist for Nineteenth Century Newspaper. β
"Lu Bing."
"Wang Yixing."
After the three of them shook hands, Lu Bing suddenly shouted: "You are the first reporter to expose the contradiction between Gao Zheng and Atzori?" β
Wang Yixing also showed a look of sudden realization - no wonder he felt that this name was somewhat familiar.
Frecello smiled: "I was just lucky enough to go to a bakery." At that time, Atezori was no longer allowed to accompany the team to cover the news, and after coming out of the Mugnaini training base, I walked to a bakery by myself, and now I think about it, it was almost like a divine arrangement......"
Naturally, the two Chinese reporters knew what he meant by bakery, because they had also interviewed the owner in the first place.
Later, everyone knew that the personal relationship between the shopkeeper and Gao Zheng was not trivial, so they knew so many things about Gao Zheng.
However, when Frecello exposed the contradiction between Gao Zheng and Atezori, the reporters flocked again, but they couldn't get anything about Gao Zheng from the owner's mouth, and the talkative shopkeeper suddenly became tight-lipped.
"But frankly, Mr. Frecello, I personally disagree with what the Genoese media have been doing lately...... "Lu Bing candidly told Frecello all the concerns he and Wang Yixing were worried about.
During Lu Bing's narration, Frecello remained silent, and nodded lightly, indicating that he was listening.
After Lu Bing finished speaking, he first apologized to Lu Bing and Wang Yixing: "I'm sorry, if my report has caused Chinese fans to worry about Gao Zheng's situation, then I am willing to apologize to you first." I think there is some truth in your analysis, but I don't think so. β
Lu Bing didn't expect that he had explained it so clearly, but the Sampdoria reporter did not agree with his opinion.
"During my interview with the bakery, he told me an interesting story about how Gao Zheng came to his shop to buy Focaccia before the reserve team final, and they talked about the upcoming final. Gao Zheng looked very confident, and he told the bakery owner to wait for him to get the championship back. This sounds arrogant, but in fact, Gao did it, as evidenced by the photo of the championship trophy on the wall behind the boss......"
Lu Bing and Wang Yixing also knew this little interesting story, because when Chinese reporters flocked to interview the boss, he told all the things about Gao Zheng many times, including this one.
But at that time, everyone just listened to this as a very ordinary anecdote, and some media didn't even report it.
But Frecello saw something else in the matter: "The boss thinks Gao is confident, but he is not surprised by Gao's confidence, because he firmly believes that Gao has the strength of self-confidence - a Sampdoria fan trusts Gao so much, why don't the fans in his home country believe in him very much?" β
Wang Yixing disagreed with Frecello's statement, retorting: "But it was a reserve team game, and now it's a real professional league." β
"Yes, the level of the game is different, the difficulty is also different, but the high is not higher in the reserve team, isn't there no improvement in the high? In the course of my interview with the owner, he expressed to me more than once that if Gao could play, Sampdoria would never be in the league standings as bad as they are now. It wasn't me as a journalist who saw Gao as a savior, but a Sampdoria fan, a fan who knew Gao very well. I guess he always knows Gao better than me, right? β
Wang Yixing stopped talking.
Seeing that the two Chinese reporters were silent, Frecello continued: "Out of concern for Gao, but worried that he will not be able to withstand the pressure, I want to create a relaxed environment for him, and this is no problem." Out of trust in Gao, so I firmly believe that he can withstand the pressure and perform well, and that's no problem. It's just a matter of which one you want to choose. After Sampdoria's relegation, there are fans who are pessimistic that we may spend several seasons in the second division before returning to the first division, as we did last time. But there are also fans who are convinced that we will be back in the first division after a season. There is nothing wrong with either idea, but I think there should be more people who are willing to hope for the future. In fact, the first season after relegation is indeed the team's best chance of returning to the first division, and if we can't, then we'll probably have to stay here for a few more seasons, so please forgive us for wishing Atezori got out sooner rather than later, because he is squandering the precious confidence and hope of the Sampdoria fans......."
Before the words fell, there was a commotion at the gate of the base.
It turned out that the players who had finished training came out one after another.
The three of them looked at each other, and Frecello was the first to say, "I'm sorry, the job is coming." β
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the gate, grabbing a favorable position.
Lu Bing and Wang Yixing were stunned for a moment, and they also came up, but they didn't squeeze in, they just wanted to interview Zhou Yi, and their willingness to interview other Sampdoria players was not so strong.
β»β»β»
Almost every Sampdoria player who came out was stopped by reporters asking them what they thought of Atezori's dismissal.
"The club made this decision? Sorry, I've been training and don't know...... I think the club must have considered it since they did this, I'm a football player and I don't know much about it......
'Mr. Atzori is a great coach but he's not lucky, I wish him the best of luck in other teams......
'There was no talk in the dressing room about it and now all of us are focused on the next game against Vicenza and the game is the most important thing.
Some people are more old fritters, and they say that they don't leak, and they don't offend people and don't leave any handles. Because the devil knows if they will be reunited with Atzori after a few years? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he transferred to a team in the future, and then that team invited Atezori to be the head coach, and he was now spraying wildly?
Some people are more straightforward, and they don't think about it that much.
"I'm glad the club made the right decision and we're going to give it our all and go for promotion!"
'Atezori's dismissal helped the atmosphere to get back to normal, and to be honest, I was too nervous. His set didn't suit Sampdoria, and I was relieved......"
The lively atmosphere in front of the training base set off the climax when Gao Zheng appeared.
Because everyone knows that Gao Zheng and Atzori have the deepest contradiction, and he can be regarded as the direct beneficiary of Atzori's dismissal, everyone wants to hear what Gao Zheng has to say about this matter.
This time, Lu Bing and Wang Yixing didn't dare to slack off, and squeezed forward desperately, but fortunately, Frecello pulled them and let them squeeze into the innermost.
As soon as Gao Zheng went out, he saw this battle, he subconsciously wanted to turn around and walk towards the training base, and the anxious reporters shouted: "Please stay, Gao!" β
"I'm afraid you'll eat my ......," Gao Zheng spread his hands.
"Atzori is out of class, you know?" Those who didn't squeeze into the innermost were the first to speak, asking questions at the top of their voices.
"I didn't know that, but now that I see your battle, I know." Gao Zheng replied.
"Hasn't there been a discussion in the locker room?"
"The novelty of this topic has passed, and there is nothing to talk about." Gao Zheng said.
But the reporters don't know if what he says is true or not, what happens in the dressing room is a secret to the outside world, and the players are generally reluctant to spread what is happening in the dressing room.
But it doesn't matter, everyone gathered around Gao Zheng not to ask what was going on in the locker room, but to know what Gao Zheng was thinking at this moment.
"So Gao, what do you think or feel about Atzori's dismissal?"
In front of everyone's eyes, Gao Zheng frowned slightly, and then sighed lightly: "It's dawn." β
