Chapter 121: Attentive
Because the next day's game was a home game, all the players who were selected for the squad did not have to go home, but would live directly at the Mugeneini training base.
Dinner was naturally settled in the restaurant of the training base.
When Gao Zheng changed his clothes and came to the restaurant, he found that Pelle was waving at him: "Here, Gao, here!" ”
His move attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what was wrong with the kid Pelle.
I looked down on Gao Zheng before, and when I met Gao Zheng, I couldn't wait to look at him with my nostrils.
Why is it suddenly so enthusiastic now?
In front of everyone's eyes, Gao Zheng naturally couldn't turn a blind eye to Pelle's greeting, so he walked over: "What's wrong?" ”
"Sit, I've got you covered! Good location by the window! Pelle enthusiastically got up and pointed to the seat opposite.
"Uh......" Gao Zheng was confused, and he didn't understand why Pelle was so enthusiastic. I haven't picked up my food yet......"
"No, you sit, I'll get it for you, what do you want to eat, just tell me!"
"It doesn't need to...... I'll ...... myself."
Gao Zheng wanted to refuse Pelle's kindness, but Pelle forcibly pressed him to his seat: "No, no, no, you just sit, you really sit, I'll go get you food, what do you want to eat?" Or is it okay to say anything? ”
Gao Zheng really couldn't resist the enthusiastic Pelle, so he had to say: "You can ...... anything"
"Okay, then I'll go!" Pelle trotted all the way to the pick-up table.
Gao Zheng noticed that his teammates were all looking at him with an inquiring gaze, obviously asking him what was going on, but Gao Zheng was also confused, he could only shrug his shoulders and pout, indicating that he didn't know.
At this time, Pelle returned to his seat with the dinner plate, and he gently placed the plate in front of Gao Zheng with both hands: "I really took it casually......"
Gao Zheng didn't even look at what was on the plate, so he quickly nodded: "It's good, it's good." ”
Pelle sat opposite Gao Zheng at this time, then looked around, lowered his voice and said to Gao Zheng: "I really don't have to be worth it for you, Gao." ”
"Huh?" Gao Zheng didn't expect Pelle to say that.
"I read an interview with you in the Nineteenth Century Newspaper, and you said that Sampdoria was your last chance at that time, so I can understand Sampdoria's feelings and place in your heart. But I still have to say, you must not be blinded by this emotion...... I don't think Sampdoria FC has enough respect for you! Pelle leaned forward, suppressed the business, and tried to reach in front of Gao Zheng and said.
"Huh?" Gao Zheng showed a surprised expression.
When Pelle saw Gao Zheng's expression, he said a little proudly: "This is also what I observed recently." To be honest, with your strength, let alone in the second division, even if you go to the first division, there are a bunch of teams rushing to get it, and it is definitely a main level player. But you can only play as a substitute at Sampdoria, and I heard that you didn't have a very good relationship with the previous manager of the team, and I don't know if this manager will be affected by that rumor, so I deliberately did this to you...... Don't let it be left in the dark! ”
Hearing Pelle's words, Gao Zheng laughed: "So you're worried about me......"
Pelle corrected him: "I just don't feel worth it for you. ”
Gao Zheng expressed his gratitude to Pelle: "Thank you, but in fact, I am not kept in the dark, and I don't feel that the club does not respect me enough." ”
This time it was Pelle's turn to be surprised: "What do you say? ”
So Gao Zheng briefly talked about his affairs in China, and finally he said to Pelle: "...... Actually, I didn't start because I wasn't fit enough to play the whole game, and I had a gap of one year in China, and this gap still had a big impact on me. ”
Pelle was dumbfounded: "There is no ...... in this experience in that interview"
"You don't have to tell reporters about everything, do you?"
"Uh-huh......" Pelle agreed, and then said in an incredulous tone: "There's a year's gap behind your current performance...... If you hadn't been injured and hadn't had a gap in the year, how good would you be now...... Maybe you won't be here, you should be in the first team at AC Milan! It's a shame......"
"There's nothing to be sorry about, AC Milan's first team doesn't give me so many chances." Gao Zheng can see it.
"But if you're at AC Milan, you should be much more famous than you are now!"
"Fame is all a floating cloud......"
"Floating clouds?"
"Oh, it's like clouds in the sky, fluttering with the wind, and a gust of wind blows away, it's all in vain. If you can't get more opportunities to play and can't give a convincing performance, that kind of fame is like a cloud that can be blown away by the wind. Gao Zheng said with some emotion.
He had experienced this thing when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was very cool at first, making him complacent and feeling as if he was already a superstar. As a result, a serious injury changed everything.
When the photo of him appeared on the Chinese field on the Internet, those who used to like him were all scolding him, and they would never think about the glory he had achieved at AC Milan Under-16s. So the honor at that time was meaningless, no matter how well you played football when you were a teenager, if you can't break out of the world in professional football, the honor and fame of your youth will become a heavy burden.
After Gao Zheng said this, he buried his head in eating his dinner.
And Pelle did not speak this time, but fell into deep thought.
Gao Zheng's words touched him.
From Parma to Sampdoria, from the First Division to the Second Division, he had to console himself with his false reputation as a striker in the First Division, and to make up for his psychological advantage in front of a group of new team-mates.
But what's the point?
He didn't play in this team just because he was a first-division striker.
He had always been accustomed to bragging to maintain his poor self-esteem, but he actually knew in his heart that he was definitely not as confident as he appeared. Everyone laughed at and hated his arrogance, but it was nothing more than the "armor" he used to protect himself.
Is this a form of protection or an escape?
Always taking Real Madrid as if he was looking for himself in the first place does not change his current failed career......
False names are like floating clouds......
Pelle leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling as he suddenly figured something out.

"What an interesting person." In the office of head coach Yaccini, assistant coach Carrillo said to Yaccini. "It's the first time I've seen a player who doesn't care if he plays or not, but keeps asking why he doesn't let someone else start...... I've vaguely heard that his relationship with Gao doesn't seem to be very good. ”
"Who knows." Yacini shrugged.
"But you really can't tell him why he started and didn't let him start ......high," Carrillo sighed.
It's really hurtful to say in front of so many players that "you are asked to start so that you can go up and consume the energy of the opposing defender and pave the way for a high pitch, rather than counting on you to score......
Don't say it in public, even if you talk to Pelle alone, you can't accept it if you don't want to be a green leaf for others, after all, no one wants to be a green leaf for others.
"Let's hope he understands what we mean......"
"If you don't understand, don't expect to get a chance to play." Achini pouted. "He's not the only option up front, anyway."
His attitude towards Gao Zheng and Pelle is completely different, he has little patience with Pelle, because a player like Pelle can be easily replaced, and Gao Zheng is difficult to find a replacement.
