Eusebio Di Francesco looked at the tall young man in front of him, who looked thin.

Although he has only just arrived in this team, he is no stranger to this young man, and on his first day in the team, the club's general manager Sagramola made it clear to him that Gao Zheng is a key player of Sampdoria, and he hopes to see Gao Zheng go further under Di Francisco.

To be honest, for Gao Zheng to have such treatment, Di Francesco was not surprised at all.

Because he knows that this is indeed a talented player who thinks he is very talented.

He didn't let Gao Zheng go to his office to find him, but after the team was disbanded, he and Gao Zheng were left on the training ground.

When Di Francisco was looking at Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng was also observing his new coach.

Sampdoria has changed coaches too frequently in the past two years, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

I thought I could form a long-term good relationship with Yacini, after all, in more than half a season, he felt that Yacini was a manager who knew him, and he would not insist on putting himself in front of the goal like Atezori's idiot, but gave himself a lot of autonomy.

To be honest, he liked Achini very much, and he hoped that Achini would stay.

He couldn't understand the club's decision.

After he returned to the team, a reporter asked him what he thought of the club's decision to change the manager, and he wisely chose to remain silent at that time, not revealing his true thoughts.

But he really didn't want to see it.

It's not that he doesn't like Di Francisco in front of him, he just doesn't know who the new manager is, what his temperament is, what his tactical preferences are, whether he likes to attack or defend...... He didn't know anything.

Since you don't know anything, you can't cooperate as well as the already familiar Achiniro.

This is also the reason why Gao Zheng prefers the club to keep Yacini, but he does not have the ability to decide the club's decision.

'I've heard you're not very fit, and you played on the bench for most of last season. After looking at Gao Zheng, Di Francesco spoke. "You know, I need an attacking core, but if the attacking core is always off the bench, it's a problem for me......"

Gao Zheng nodded: "I understand." ”

He lowered his head and frowned slightly, so is the new head coach planning to find someone else to be the core? Are you at odds with the manager you meet at the beginning of each season? It's like this every time......

Just when Gao Zheng was thinking crankily in his heart, he heard Di Francesco say: "I heard that the reason why your physical condition was not good last season was that you missed the physical training camp at the beginning of the season, because you and that coach had some messy things...... That's why I'm going to ask the coaching staff to create a targeted fitness plan for you to try to help you get back to normal. ”

Gao Zheng raised his head and looked at Di Francesco with some surprise.

The unusually young head coach laughed and told him: "I don't want my attacking core to be a super sub. ”

"You're going to make me the heart of the offense?" Gao Zheng asked.

Di Francesco nodded, "Yes." I watched all of your performances last season and you do have the qualifications and the ability. I'm going to make some changes to the squad and the tactics, because what was last season was going to work in the second division, but not necessarily in the first division. Sampdoria's financial situation is unlikely to allow them to buy too many players of sufficient caliber in the transfer market......"

Gao Zheng nodded, he knew that Sampdoria's economic situation was not very good, which could be seen from the fact that in order to reduce the financial burden, even the captain dared to sell.

"A lot of promoted teams are due to a lack of investment in the transfer market, which has led to the stagnation of the team. The strength of the second division is difficult to reach the first division, and even relegation. Since we are destined not to acquire those established stars in the transfer market, why not tap into our potential? Di Francis continued, he seemed to be very interested in talking, and he didn't need Gao Zheng to respond at all, so he just talked about himself.

"In the past two years, Sampdoria's development squad has produced a lot of good young players, in addition to you, there are Icardi, there is Obiang, Kostic is also good, and Alberto Massi, who moved to Provocelli last season, is also a potential player...... I think that as long as you are given the opportunity to exercise, young people can also take the lead. In world football, youth teams are not uncommon......"

Gao Zheng wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth at all, so he saw Di Francesco continue: "I know that some people will say that young people are inexperienced and easy to make mistakes. But I don't expect to win the title or qualify for Europe on the youth team, the first thing I need is to survive in the first division and not fall back into the second division after a season. In fact, the goal given to me by the club is to make sure that there is no relegation this season...... Young people may make mistakes, but being young also means that there is still room for correction, so it's not scary to make mistakes......"

Gao Zheng looked at the gushing head coach Di Francisco in a daze, and he couldn't interject at all.

I don't think the new head coach can say so much in training......

Di Francisco didn't seem to want to chat with Gao Zheng, but wanted to find someone to talk to, and just when Gao Zheng was stunned, he had already talked about his coaching experience.

“…… I know what the outside is saying about me now, but I don't have much experience coaching a first-division team, and the only experience I have is a failure. But it's like I said before, I'm still young and I'm definitely going to make mistakes, but there's also room to correct my mistakes. After leaving Lecce, I didn't look for a new job, but always rested at home and reflected on ......"

'I know what my problems are, I'm not a master tactician, I'm not good at tactics, I'm not one of those long-established managers who have enough authority to hold down the dressing room. I'm going to have to try to avoid that in the rest of my tenure, so the youth squad can make the dressing room a little less resistant...... I also know what I'm good at, I'm good at motivating, but veteran oils aren't so easy to motivate......"

At this moment, Gao Zheng finally seized the opportunity to interject: "And young people are hot-blooded, it is easier to motivate?" ”

Di Francesco glanced at Gao Zheng, then nodded, "You're right." ”

Gao Zheng seized the opportunity to speak again: "But coach, what are you telling me these for?" I'm just a player, and you're telling me so much...... I'm afraid you'll kill me......"

Di Francesco was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You're such an interesting player, high. I'm telling you so much in the hope that you will understand me, because I want you to be the core. ”

Gao Zhengxin said that if you are the core, you will be the core, and you don't need to say so much to me......

But he still nodded: "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Di Francesco laughed happily: "Where did I just go?" Yes, I learned from the pain when I went home, and I felt that I should be good at building on my strengths and avoiding my weaknesses......"

Gao Zheng hurriedly raised his hand: "Coach, I just finished training and was sweating, and now the sweat is almost dry, if I listen to you again, I'm afraid that I will catch a cold." ”

Di Francesco suddenly waved at him and said very simply: "Yes, yes, you go back quickly." ”

When Gao Zheng went to the "Sailor's House" in Borata to buy Forcacha again, the boss came up again: "Hey, Gao, the training camp has been ten days old, and now you can see who the new head coach is?" ”

Di Francisco is not like Atezori, who has been interviewed by reporters as often as he has been in office, and he has appeared in the media a lot, but it is about him and not about what he says.

Gao Zheng didn't expect that this person who talked endlessly about himself would be blamed for being silent in the media.

"He...... "Gao Zheng looked at the ceiling at a forty-degree angle, "he should be a man of many words." ”

"Someone who talks a lot?" Borata was stunned.
