“…… Yesterday afternoon, Atlético de Madrid hosted a grand welcome ceremony for the new team at their home stadium, the Calderón Stadium. According to the official disclosure, nearly 40,000 fans came to the scene...... Despite scoring three of them in the stadium last season, Atletico Madrid fans have easily embraced him. When Atletico Madrid and Gao were rumored to be in a transfer scandal, the local media did street interviews, and nearly 70% of Atletico Madrid fans welcomed Gao to join the team...... This may be an indication that Gao's hat-trick has conquered Atletico Madrid's fans......"

Borata pointed to the TV screen in the store and exclaimed, "Isn't that nonsense? Gao Ke completely convinced them before going! ”

In the TV screen is the picture of Gao Zheng appearing at the Calderón stadium wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey.

As you can see from the footage from the scene, the Calderón Stadium, which has a capacity of 54,000 fans, is almost full.

In fact, with Gao Zheng's appeal, he shouldn't have such a spectacular scene.

If Gao Zheng hadn't played against Atletico Madrid last season, Atletico Madrid fans might have been indifferent to his arrival, and Madrid's media might have pretended to be superior, asking "Who is Gao?" ”

But last season's game is Gao Zheng's best identity, and Atletico Madrid fans also have the most intuitive impression of how good this new signing is.

The fact that so many people welcomed him speaks volumes about how high Atletico Madrid fans expect from Gao Zheng – after losing the Champions League final, the team really needs such a big transfer to boost morale.

“…… Neither Sampdoria nor Atletico Madrid have revealed a specific transfer amount, but according to the Transfermarkt website, Atletico Madrid spent around €75 million to take the European Golden Boot from Sampdoria. The high transfer fee also set a new record for Atletico Madrid's previous transfer fee - the most expensive player Atletico Madrid bought before that was Colombian striker Falcao, who spent 40 million euros on Atletico Madrid when he joined the 'Sheets Army' in 2011......"

"It is said that Atletico Madrid has not been able to come up with so much money at one time, and in the end, a mysterious company from China has solved the financial problem for Atletico Madrid. Although Gao successfully joined Atletico Madrid, such an operation also brought a series of problems, and the Spanish media has been discussing whether the Chinese striker can withstand all the pressure brought by the sky-high transfer fee after coming to Atletico Madrid with such an exaggerated transfer fee...... After all, Atletico Madrid and Sampdoria in the small town of Genoa receive completely different attention......"

"What nonsense?! Sampdoria only bought 75 million, which is already considered a bargain! High value of 100 million! Borata shouted at the TV screen waving his fist.

"Dad......" the son next to him called helplessly, fortunately there were no customers in the store at this time, otherwise the business would not be done - everyone who came would be scared away by such an excited father.

Borata ignored his son and continued to stare intently at the TV screen.

Gao Zheng is giving a simple speech to the Atletico Madrid fans in the stadium: "...... I'm very happy to be joining Atletico Madrid. Coming here is a brand new adventure for me and I will give it my all! ”

Hearing Gao Zheng say this, his son was very happy: "He didn't say anything like 'I've been an Atletico Madrid fan since I was a child', 'My biggest dream is to play for Atletico Madrid, and now my dream has come true'!" He still has feelings for Sampdoria in his heart! ”

But Boratta glared at him, "I'd rather he say that, stupid!" You have to figure out that he is facing Atletico Madrid fans now, he doesn't have to care what we Sampdoria fans think, we just need to please Atletico Madrid fans! And he speaks Italian! ”

The son wondered: "Is there anything wrong with Italian?" ”

Borata said to his stupid son with hatred: "Of course not! Even if he doesn't speak Spanish proficiently, even if he memorizes it, even if he has an accent, even if he stumbles, on this occasion, Gao should say this sentence in Spanish! Whether it's Italian or Spanish, it's a very important question to show whether Gao values the fans of Atletico Madrid, and if he can be welcomed by the fans, he will be much better in that new environment, otherwise it will be ......"

Borata, who was standing with his hands on his chest and watching TV, looked like a coach and commented on Gao Zheng's approach. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with Gao Zheng's approach.

"Dad, everyone else is reluctant to leave Gao, why do you look like you're about to become an Atletico Madrid fan now?"

"Because I'm the one who really thinks high! I want him to be doing well over there, and I don't want him to come back one day — that means he's not doing well outside...... For many years, Sampdoria has finally stepped out to become a superstar, of course, the more mixed up the better! But that idiot doesn't like to please people at all......"

Borata looked at Gao Zheng on the screen, the latter had just finished speaking, but the response was not as enthusiastic as Borata had hoped, which may have something to do with Gao Zheng speaking Italian, and many Atletico Madrid fans may not have heard what he said clearly - although there are some similarities between Italian and Spanish, it does not mean that the two sides can communicate without obstacles.

In Borata's view, the applause and cheers at the scene were more out of politeness, and part of it was the aftermath of Gao Zheng's hat-trick.

If Gao Zheng does not adapt well to the new environment and performs unsatisfactorily on the field, I am afraid that many problems will ensue......

The son saw his father frowning and said suspiciously, "Dad, what's wrong with you today?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Wasn't the person who had the most confidence in Gao in the past be your old man? Why are you now worried that you won't be able to play well at Atletico Madrid? Or even hope that he can lower his posture and deliberately curry favor with Atletico Madrid fans? Honestly, as a Sampdoria fan, I would be uncomfortable if I were to watch our heroes nod and flatter the Atletico Madrid fans......"

Borata wanted to reflexively scold his stupid son, but his mouth opened and he froze because he realized that his son was right.

The whole world can suspect that Gao Zheng can't adapt to the new environment, but he can't.

The whole world can question that the sky-high price is a huge burden on Gao Zheng, but he can't.

The whole world can not be optimistic about Gao Zheng's future in Atletico Madrid, but he can't.

Because he is the most confident and least worried person in the world about Gao Zheng!

Why is he behaving so abnormally today, even the stupid son can see it?

Borata looked up at Gao Zheng on the TV screen, he still had a familiar and friendly smile on his face, as if he was standing in front of him and said to him, "Hi, boss, four kilos of cheese focaccia." ”

But instead of wearing the blue and white Sampdoria jersey, he was replaced by the red and white striped shirt of Atletico Madrid.

This blinded him, and his illusion collapsed.

No matter how many times I say it, I hope he goes, I hope he succeeds outside, and he doesn't come back...... But deep down, I still can't bear him to leave!

The new Serie A season is just over a month away, and he will still go to the Marassi Stadium to watch the game, but there will be less anticipation, because the familiar figure is no longer there.

Borata sat down, the TV had cut back to the studio, and the host was discussing with the guests Gao Zheng's future after joining Atletico Madrid, but he didn't listen to a word......
