Chapter Forty-Nine: Free Foccaccia

When Gao Zheng came to the "Sailor's House" to buy Forcacia again, the fat boss laughed when he saw him: "This time it's still four kilograms of cheese Forcacha?" ”

Gao Zheng nodded: "Yes, boss." ”

Borata prepared bread for him, and then handed the paper bag containing the bread to Gao Zheng, but did not accept the money handed by Gao Zheng.

“?” Gao Zheng was a little strange.

Borata said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that the Chinese boy who often comes to me to buy Focaccia will be the star player of Sampdoria's reserve team. ”

Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Boss, how do you know?" ”

He didn't deny it.

Borata pulled out the newspaper, pointed to the person in the photo and said, "Is this you, Gao?" ”

Gao Zheng glanced at it, it was "Nineteenth Century News": "It turns out that the newspaper really reported it......"

"Of course, it's a lighthouse derby, even if it's a lighthouse derby for the reserves, it's a lighthouse derby!"

With that, Borata turned around and shouted into the kitchen, "Franco! ”

His son came out of it when he heard the sound, still holding a rolling pin in his hand: "What are you doing, Dad?" ”

"Put that thing down, wash your hands, and take a picture of me and Gao!" Borata pulled out a small card machine from a drawer.

When his son washed his hands and faced the two with his camera, Borata happily hugged Gao Zheng, who was still holding his family's paper bag with the logo "Sailor's Home" printed on it.

"I took it, one, two, three...... Good! ”

"Two more shots!"

Franco Borata clicked the shutter a few more times before handing the camera to his father.

"I'm going to print out the photos, frame them and hang them on the wall." Borata looked at the replay in the camera and said to Gao Zheng, "You don't mind, Gao?" ”

"Don't mind, don't mind." Gao Zheng waved his hand again and again, and then wanted to give the money to the other party.

Borata still refused: "This is what I paid you, high." ”

"Remuneration?" Gao Zheng didn't react.

"I'm using you to put a small advertisement on my store, and I should pay you...... But I'm also a small business. So in the future, when you come to my store to buy bread, you don't have to pay for it. ”

Gao Zheng didn't expect such a good thing...... He originally thought about telling the Sampdoria fan owner if he would let him get a discount when he bought bread, but he didn't expect that it would be eaten for free now!

He didn't care that the reward he should get for advertising to others should be far more than eating bread for free, and quickly nodded: "That's really thank you boss!" ”

"I'm going to thank you, Gao. I went to watch you guys play against Cesena and it was a beautiful goal! ”

Gao Zheng was a little surprised: "Eh, was the boss in the stands at the time?" ”

Borata smiled: "Of course I'm here, and I've made a new friend who is also your fan!" ”

Gao Zheng scratched his head: "I really didn't expect me to have fans......"

"Isn't it normal to have fans? It's not right that you have such a good performance without fans! ”

"There will be pressure during the game in the future, and when I think of you having so much bread for free, you can't kick too badly, otherwise there will be no bread to eat......"

Gao Zheng's words amused Borata, and he laughed: "Don't worry, even if you kick stinky, you will have bread to eat!" Didn't you say that? The worse you behave, the more you need support. ”

"Yes, yes, then I'll thank the boss."

When Gao Zheng left with the bread, the son frowned and said to his father: "Let him eat bread for free, I always feel a loss, Dad." You know he buys a lot of it every time and eats it quickly......"

"What's the loss, you know a fart!" Borata didn't have the same good attitude towards his son as he did towards Gao Zheng, he scolded. "That Chinese boy will definitely have an unlimited future, just let him eat bread for free, in exchange for a photo holding our goods, where do you find such a good thing? When he becomes famous in the future, I'm afraid that 500,000 yuan won't be able to exchange him for such an advertisement for us! ”

"That's ...... Isn't it amazing? The son who was scolded was surprised.

"So you know a! Spinning around in the kitchen all day, my brain is going to turn into bread. Borata snorted.

The son was very aggrieved: "Didn't you let me concentrate on making bread in the kitchen......"

"Go, go, go! Get back in here! Boratta was speechless to his stupid son and raised his hand to blast him back.

Then he continued to look at the photos alone, wanting to choose one from which he and Gao Zheng had the most perfect expressions and poses, and took it out and printed it.

"This one doesn't work, I blinked. This one didn't blink, but the expression was a little weird...... Eh, this one is good, this one is good, this one is it! ”

The fat boss was alone with a small card machine and smiled like a two-hundred-pound child.

Training, playing, coming to the "Sailor's House" to buy Forcaccia, and then chatting with the fat boss, knowing from him the current bad situation of Sampdoria's first team - this is Gao Zheng's life now.

It's a bit monotonous, but it's not boring.

On the contrary, for Gao Zheng, who has been away from professional football for more than a year, he feels that his current life is very fulfilling, much more fulfilling than helping him play in the old man's football training class, and then playing wild football.

From the age of six to the AC Milan Academy at the age of fifteen for professional football training, he has long been accustomed to the days of football, and the year he left professional football training was the year when he was most uncomfortable.

Now he can receive regular football training every day and play with high-level teammates and opponents, and he feels at ease and at ease.

He suddenly remembered Lao Zhao. When he had no choice but to leave the team due to injury, in the face of a society that is changing with each passing day and becoming more unfamiliar every day, the skills he has learned for more than ten years cannot help him find a job that can support his family, is there the same confusion and pain as himself?

And he is indeed much luckier than Lao Zhao.

Time flew by, and at the end of April, the Reserve Group A competition was over and Sampdoria finished fifth in the regular season and qualified for the playoffs.

Their rivals, Genoa Reserves, finished first – a defeat to Sampdoria Reserves didn't slow them down to the top, as they topped the table with a score of 59 points, while second-placed Juventus Reserves were a full five points behind them.

The difference between first and fifth place is that the top two teams from the other two groups can directly qualify for the quarterfinals of the playoffs, while the teams from third to fifth place will play two qualifying rounds against the other two qualifying teams to determine the last two spots in the quarterfinals.

Sampdoria's development team had too many ups and downs in the first half of the season, so in the end, although it was a fifth-place finish, Bruni was also satisfied. You know, they could have not even finished fifth.

Compared to the performance of the reserves, Sampdoria's first-team results are, in the words of fat boss Borata, "nothing short of hopeless." ”

From the 26th round of the league, Sampdoria either lost or drew in the league, and it was not until the 34th round of the league that they beat Bari 1-0 away, ending a downward trend of eight consecutive games without a win.

By this time, Sampdoria had slipped to 17th place in the league, with 35 points with 18th place Lecce. In the next four rounds of the league, they are not allowed to lose a point, otherwise they may go to the second division.

In these four league rounds, Sampdoria also have a game against Genoa.

It was a real "lighthouse derby".

PS, yesterday's game overall, all three games were quite dull, and the scores were the same.

In the last match between Spain and Iran, I really didn't expect Spain to play very well, Iran deserved a draw. But that goal was indeed offside.

Even if there is no video referee, at the moment of the goal, the linesman has already raised the flag to signal offside, so the video referee cannot be blamed for this.

This defeat also made Iran definitely beat Portugal in the last game, which is not good news for Portugal - watching the match between Iran and Spain, I think that with the performance of Portugal against Morocco, they will lose to Iran nine times out of ten......

In addition, you are welcome to pay attention to my public account: linhaitingtao11 (林海听涛阁), today I shared an article in which I briefly introduced the Mugnaini training base where Gao Zheng is located and the town of Boriasco, through satellite pictures, can help you intuitively understand this place.

Denmark and Australia don't plan to watch tonight's game, so they won't guess the score.

There should be no suspense for France to play Peru, but considering that the favorites have not been doing well recently, I guess France should beat Peru by one goal.

As for the match between Argentina and Croatia, I still like Argentina to win, after all, if you don't win again, the qualification will be in the balance......

Argentina should be able to beat Croatia by two goals!

In addition, the full name of the big fat fan was mentioned in yesterday's update, Clariant Moretti, which has actually been mentioned for a long time, but it seems to have been noticed yesterday that this name is the same as the protagonist of the new book "The Master of Mystery" by the squid who loves diving, just one word difference, he is Klein, and I am Clariant.

That's right, the name is based on the squid's new book, so here I also take the opportunity to recommend a wave of squid's new book "The Master of Mystery", which is really my favorite genre. Squid writes about the times before and after the first industrial revolution in Britain in "The Master of Mystery" - yes, his book is actually set at that time, but with a lot of mystical elements.

Everyone is welcome to see it!
