"This ...... How did we not know? Mandelley looked at Bonato again, then asked cautiously.

"Not only do you not know, but I'm afraid there are no more than five people who know about it." Skunzi gave a slap in the face. "It's an internal matter for AC Milan, there was no media coverage at the time, and the Milan lab didn't talk about it, so of course no one knew about it."

Mandley and Bonato looked at the boss and thought to themselves, how did you know?

Skunzi, of course, knew their doubts and laughed: "I naturally have internal information channels. ”

The two of them didn't doubt it. As the owner of Sassuolo, it is only natural that Skunzi has a more intimate relationship with AC Milan's management, not to mention that the owner is still notoriously loyal to AC Milan......

As the owner of Sassuolo, he used AC Milan's mobile phone case instead of his own club's, which shows the status of AC Milan in his mind.

"Actually, I only heard about it last month, because Milan's youth director Gary told me. This man suffered a very serious injury when he was in AC Milan's youth team and had more than a year off. After his comeback, he was repeatedly injured twice, and although it was not very serious, it gave him signs of turning into a glass man. It was on this basis that the Milan laboratory carried out a comprehensive analysis of his physical condition and finally came to an authoritative conclusion that this man was not fit to continue in intense professional football. So not only did they not sign a professional contract with Gao, but terminated the contract with him half a year in advance. Now you understand why he came to us, right? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't play professional football, what would it be our turn? Do you think Scouts from Serie A clubs are vegetarians? ”

After the boss Skunzi finished speaking, Mandeli and Bonato were silent.

This really explains the question in Mandeley's mind - why did AC Milan let such a talented player go in the first place, and why did he not go to other teams after leaving AC Milan, but simply disappeared for a year.

So now he comes to Sassuolo for a trial, is he unwilling after a year, and wants to fight for his future again?

But Mandeli remembered Gao Zheng's performance in the first game and trial, and it was really difficult for him to accept the reality that such a talented player turned out to be a "waste person".

It can be thought that this is the judgment made by the Milan laboratory after all, and the Milan laboratory is authoritative in this regard, so he is a little uncertain in his heart.

Does he want to fight with his boss and take a gamble?

But before he could speak, Skunzi made a final decision on the matter: "Don't think about signing a high contract anymore, I won't agree to it." We can't afford to give time, money, and energy for someone who is sure to fail. We are a small club, and every child has to use the key points. Instead of thinking about that Chinese talent, let's think about how to raise Berardi to the point where he can play for the reserves, right? ”

He was still thinking about Berardi, a true teenage genius.

Giorgio Squinzi is the owner and president of the club, and it can be said that everyone in the club is supported by him with money, and what he says here is the holy will, that is, the will of the Sassuolo club.

Mandelly hesitated, but still didn't dare to say what he was thinking.

After listening to Gao Zheng's departure from AC Milan, he also had doubts about Gao Zheng's future prospects, and he was not so sure in his heart.

After listening to the owner's words, the club's sporting director Bonato returned the report to Mandeli and said to him: "Well, we can't sign him. ”

※※※

Mandeli emerged from Bonato's office and headed for the training ground.

On the way, he met the assistant coach of the first team, Carlino, and as the person who recommended Berardi to Sassuolo, he also cared about the team's youth work, because he knew very well that Sassuolo's youth training was the lifeblood of Sassuolo's first team.

"Hi Paro, how's it going? Nerio agreed, right? I'll tell you, with his eyes, if he can't see the high potential, then he's blind...... What's wrong? The gushing Callino finally realized that something was not quite right with the person in front of him, and Mandelli frowned instead of smiling.

"The boss vetoed my suggestion." Mandley said.

"Who vetoed it? You're going to see the sports director, what's the matter with our boss? ”

"Mr. Skunzi was in Bonato's office at the time."

"Why did the boss veto this?" Callino couldn't figure it out.

Mandelley sighed and repeated what Skunzi had just said in Bonato's office.

After listening to what Mandley relayed, Callino also frowned, but the reason for his frown was different.

"Why do you believe so much in the conclusions of the Milan laboratory, Mr. President?"

"Our chairman is a diehard of the Rossoneri, have you forgotten?"

Callino was stunned for a moment—he had indeed forgotten about it.

"Is that really it?" He was still a little unwilling.

"What else else? If you want to sign a contract with Gao, do you have to spend money on the boss in the end? If the boss doesn't agree, then the contract will definitely not be signed. Mandeli spread his hands.

"Can't you convince the boss? The Milan laboratory has not been without mistakes in recent years......"

Mandelli looked at Callino, "You can try to convince him that he should still be in Bonato's office." ”

Callino thought about it, took the report on Gao Zheng from Mandeli's hand, and turned and walked towards the building.

Soon, though, Mandelley saw a dejected Callino.

"There is absolutely no room for negotiation, and he seems to be very unoptimistic about Gao...... What the hell. ”

Mandley was not at all surprised by this result, for Mr. Skunzi had never been one of those good talkers.

The two glanced at each other, knowing that Gao Zheng and them were completely out of luck, so they could only sigh in unison.

※※※

In the hotel room, Guo Wei was cheering Gao Zheng up: "Tomorrow is the last day of the trial, I remember there is still a game, right?" Come on! ”

Gao Zheng nodded.

"But this time you don't want to provoke your opponent again, and finish this game smoothly without any surprises. With your performance in the tryouts, signing is a sure thing. Guo Wei admonished again.

Gao Zheng continued to nod: "I know, Uncle Guo." ”

"Alas, if it weren't for the jet lag, I really want to call your Director Yang right now and share this good news with him......" Guo Wei sighed. It's night in Italy, and there is a seven-hour time difference between China and here, and it's basically early in the morning in Italy, so it's unrealistic to call.

Gao Zheng smiled: "It's not a word, let's call him when I really sign the contract." ”

"Also, surprise him!" Guo Wei couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Lao Yang being taken aback. "Let's rest early, Kodaka. Play this game tomorrow in the best shape you have. ”

"Don't worry, Uncle Guo." Gao Zheng gave a confident thumbs up, and after a week of training, he felt that his physical condition was much better than when he first arrived at Sassuolo, and he also found the feeling he had when he played in the AC Milan Academy. He is confident that he will definitely perform better than in the last fight, and draw a perfect end to this trial.

With such confidence, he quickly fell asleep.
