In this way, Gao Zheng began his training life in the first team of Sampdoria.

At the beginning, because everyone went through a vacation, the training was mainly to recover the body, and the amount of training was not large.

But as time went on, the amount of training gradually increased.

At this stage, they are still doing physical training to reserve enough physical strength for the new season.

It is true that the intensity of training in the first team is greater than that of the reserve team.

But Gao Zheng felt that he could still bear it, and his body was not overloaded.

When I think about it, it's all thanks to the training and adaptation I received in the reserves.

If he had gone straight to the first team, with his physical condition at that time, I am afraid it would have been difficult to persevere.

So last season, Gao Zheng was not in a hurry to go to the first team, and he also very much agreed with the training plan of the reserve team head coach Bruni for him.

Speaking of Bruni, I don't know how he's doing with his new team......

While the team was training on the training ground, first-team head coach Gianluca Atezori was talking to the team's general manager, Sagramola, the new first-team sporting manager, Pascule Sencibile, and Doliano Latic, who was in charge of the echelon.

While talking, everyone's eyes fell on the players on the field.

"That tall and skinny guy is tall." Radic is introducing Gao Zheng to first-team manager Atezori. "Although he has only been in the development team for half a season, he has quickly become the heart of the development team, and Coach Bruni believes that his talent is still above Mauro Icardi."

Atzori frowned, he really couldn't tell how good the talent was from this thin body.

"Who is Coach Bruni?" He asked.

"Oh, the head coach of the reserve team, who led the reserve team to win the reserve league championship last season, mainly thanks to Gao and Icardi." Radic explained that as a sporting manager who specialises in the recruitment of young players, he is more familiar with the team than everyone in the room, and naturally has more say in it. 'Actually, we wanted to move him to the first team last season but it didn't work out......

"Why didn't it work out?" Atzori asked curiously.

Bruni didn't agree, he thought Gao wasn't ready and should practice more in the reserves.

"Although Gao is very talented, he also has problems, his physical fitness is not very good...... So in the reserve team, he always played as a substitute, and he didn't start until the final against Roma. Radici added.

Atezori laughed: "Playing the core of the substitute? There was some irony in his laughter.

"Uh......" Radici was a little embarrassed, how could he not hear what Atezori meant? But he remembered what Bruni had told him before he left, and decided to relay Bruni's words to Atezori. "When he first came to the team, his fitness was really bad, but after half a season of training, his fitness is much better now than before. However, the first team and the reserve team are still different after all, both the training intensity and the game intensity are much greater, you can let him play as a substitute first, which can be explained to the player himself, I believe he is also completely acceptable......"

Atezori interrupted Radici and said in a bad tone, "Mr. Radici, thank you for the extra clarification. But I seem to remember that the club invited me to be the manager. ”

Radici was a little surprised by Atzori's reaction, he was just doing it with good intentions, but it seems that Atezori misunderstood him?

There was an awkward silence between the four.

In the end, it was the club's general manager, Sagramola, who stepped up to play the round: "Well, our club is also very optimistic about Gao's talent, so there will be some suggestions. Of course, the first team is still dominated by the manager, and this must be no problem. ”

"That's good, Mr. General Manager." Atzori squeezed out a slight smile at Sagramola, then glanced at Radici again.

Radici kept his head down and didn't speak.

A few days after entering the first team training, Gao Zheng received another call from Alberto Masi.

This time Marcy had come to say goodbye to him.

"It's been decided, I'm going to Proviccelli."

"That's ...... Where? Gao Zheng is really unfamiliar with these names.

"A giant team that has won seven top league titles, isn't it amazing!"

"Huh?"

"Well, I'm talking about history, a hundred years ago...... Well, now in League C1. ”

In simple terms, the Italian league can be divided into three football leagues to manage.

The first is the National Professional Football League, which manages two leagues, Serie A and Serie B, which everyone is most familiar with.

The second league is the Italian Professional Football League, although it is called a professional league, but it actually manages the third league. There are two levels in the Serie C League, namely the C1 League and the C2 League. However, there is now a discussion in Italy about reforming the third league, and in the future, it is possible to cancel the third division and merge with the third league.

The third is the National Amateur Football League, which administers the Italian Primera League, which is divided into nine districts according to the administrative divisions.

Further down there are league levels, such as the Premier League, which is divided into 28 districts, and the Promotion League, which is divided into 54 districts...... Wait a minute.

Marcy is going to Provilcelli in League C1, which is one level lower than the second division, but it is also a real professional league. For the players, the training effect is definitely better than that of the reserve league.

"It's good, is it on loan to exercise?"

"No, transfers."

"What?" Gao Zheng thought he had misheard.

"Well, it's actually a co-ownership, and the club gave half of my ownership to Provercelli." Marcy explained.

It is very common for Italian football clubs to make full use of the co-ownership approach to trade players, especially for the training of young players.

"You've got half of the Sampdoria in your hands, so I'm still waiting for you in the first team, ha!"

"I'll try! I would also like to play at the Stadio Blasi (note: Stadio Luigi Ferraris is the official name, but the fans and players of Sampdoria prefer to call this stadium 'Blasi', because this stadium is in the Blasi district of Genoa, and I made a mistake in the chapter on 'A Stadium', for Sampdoria supporters, you would be offended to call Stadio Blasi Ferraris, it has been changed)! ”

"Then let's make a deal and play in the first team together."

"Okay, promise! I don't want to be a rival to you! Marcy laughed on the phone. Even though it's a League C1, I'm going to do my best! ”

It was on the day that Massy said goodbye to Gao Zheng, and Sampdoria ushered in the second new signing after the new head coach Atezori took office, Federico Piovacari.

The player played for Inter Milan's youth team for a long time, but was unable to play for Inter's first team. He scored 23 goals in 38 appearances for Citadella in the second division last season and was last season's top scorer in Serie B.

The player was bought by name after Atezori took over, apparently because of his excellent scoring ability in Serie B.

Sampdoria's relegation last season had a lot to do with the fact that they sold their two leading goalscorers, Cassano and Pazzini, during the winter break.

Therefore, the new head coach of the new season should start by strengthening the strength of the striker, and there seems to be no problem.

You must know that Piowakari is not the only striker that Atezori has bought since he took over.

Even before the team arrived, Sampdoria had already confirmed the transfer of another striker, Christian Bertani, at his behest.

Also a striker who excelled in the second division last season, Bertani scored 17 goals in 35 league appearances for Novara, in addition to providing seven assists. Helped Novara get promoted to the First Division.

Obviously, these two strikers are the main partners that Atezori has chosen for Sampdoria in the second division.

In terms of last season's performances, the introduction of both was almost impeccable.

But not everyone sees it that way.

Borata took the newspaper and complained to his son: "What kind of striker to buy!" One is three and a half million, and one is one million and one million...... That adds up to 4.6 million! What a waste! Leaving Gao and Icardi unnecessary, they spent more than four million to buy two strikers...... Didn't that new head coach know Gao's performance in the reserve team game! ”

'There's a big difference between the reserves and the first team...... 'Franco said'. Maybe in the manager's opinion, the development team is doing well, and the first team has to start from scratch. ”

Borata reflexively scolded, "What do you know! ”

Franco was very aggrieved: "There is indeed a big gap between the reserve team and the first team, otherwise there are so many reserve players, how can there be so few players who can gain a foothold in the first team?" ”

Seeing that his son still dared to talk back, Borata was angry: "Get out!" Go back to your kitchen! ”

Franco didn't dare to disobey his father, so he pouted and went back to the kitchen.

And Borata continued to be behind the counter alone, looking at the photos of the new signings in the newspaper, and hummed dissatisfiedly: "Gao is not the same as those ordinary reserve players!" He's a genius! ”

PS, then what, it seems that life is indeed far more exaggerated and YY than fiction.

In the future, I will not have any psychological burden in the novel no matter what-someone dares to say that I am not real, and I will prove it with those incredible victories in football matches!

England lost to Croatia in a good situation!

It's really coming home this time......

Oh, and there's no hurry, they're going to have another inconsequential game against Belgium......
