The renewal ceremony took place in the club's conference room, or not just a ceremony, just to sign the contract, but there were photos and videos taken by Sampdoria journalists and invited media reporters.

This is much more grand and formal than when Gao Zheng signed with the club.

He was just an ordinary newcomer to the club. And now he has conquered the club with his practical actions and won their attention.

When Gao Zheng and his agent Viviano entered the conference room, they were somewhat surprised to find that in addition to the club's general manager Sagramola and sports director Sencibile, there were two other people present, the gray-haired old man was the club's president, Mr. Ricardo Garrone, and the slightly younger was his eldest son, the club's vice president, Eduardo Garone.

"My doctor didn't advise me to come, but I had to come and meet the genius who brought light to the club." Ricardo Garone saw Gao Zheng's followers, smiled and took the initiative to walk forward, stretching out his hand to shake Gao Zheng's hand.

Gao Zheng hurriedly walked up, held the old chairman's hand, and also supported him.

He has been at the club for more than a year, and this is the first time he has come into contact with Mr. President.

President Garrone was previously absent from the game and suffered from cancer, his health has deteriorated, and most of the time he will not appear in public, even if he goes to the Marassi Stadium to watch Sampdoria play, it does not appear at every home stadium, more often than not, his son Eduardo Ricardo sits in that position.

'The second half of last season was painful for the club because we were relegated to the second division. But what I didn't know at the time was that in our darkest moments, a seed had been harvested, and this seed had broken through and thrived...... If I had known at the time, maybe I would have felt better. "Chairman Garrone is very talkative, he speaks loudly, he has a smile on his face, and he can't tell that he is terminally ill.

"I've heard the story of you and Sassuolo, and I'm grateful they sent you for us. I would also like to thank you for choosing Sampdoria ......"

Gao Zheng hurriedly said: "It was Sampdoria who gave me a chance. ”

Garrone smiled and shook his head: "I was a little pessimistic about our return to the first division next season, after all, we didn't play very well in the first half of the season...... But now I'm hopeful about it. Your performance on the pitch is the main reason why I'm hopeful, so the club are more than happy to offer you a new contract and I'm personally happy that you accepted it. ”

"I'm willing to contribute to the promotion, after all, I don't want to stay in the second division all the time."

Garone laughed: "With your ability, it is a crime to stay in the second division all the time!" ”

At this time, the eldest son, Eduardo Garrone, joined the conversation between them: "My father was obsessed with your imaginative goals, and he even told us at dinner how you picked a defender and scored a goal......"

The room burst into laughter.

It is entirely conceivable that this gray-haired old man danced like a child......

Amid everyone's laughter, Chairman Garrone looked at Gao Zheng's legs: "At the beginning of the game, I saw you play against those defenders, and I was really worried that you would be vulnerable, but you were always able to dodge the defenders unexpectedly. I'm glad that we at Sampdoria also have our own Ibrahimovic! ”

In the face of the chairman's naked praise, Gao Zheng was a little embarrassed, he bent down and scratched his head: "It's not as good as you say, Mr. Chairman......"

But the old man suddenly patted Gao Zheng on the back hard, and said with a very serious expression: "Puff up your chest, young man, don't be embarrassed, you deserve such praise, raise your head and chest, and accept it as a matter of course." ”

Gao Zheng was beaten and puffed up his chest unconsciously.

Mr. President's serious face showed a smile again: "That's right, that's right." You're so tall, don't hunched over. Come, let's get started. ”

The old chairman even personally pulled out a chair for Gao Zheng and asked him to sit down.

Gao Zheng was a little flattered, but the old man insisted on doing so, and finally forcibly pressed Gao Zheng on the chair.

Subsequently, under the gaze of Mr. President, Gao Zheng signed his name on the text of the contract, and the reporters present recorded the moment with cameras and camcorders.

Then Gao Zheng picked up the contract and took a group photo with the club's chairman, vice chairman, general manager and sports director.

The renewal ceremony is over.

President Garrone is also to leave in the company of his son.

Before leaving, he held Gao Zheng's hand: "Do you hear those cheers at the Malassi Stadium?" You're the one I've ever seen conquering this place in the shortest time. Well done, boy, this is your home, and I hope you enjoy it. ”

"I love it here, Mr. President. I was telling the media what I was saying, and I met good coaches, good teammates, and good chairmen. ”

Garrone laughed happily, and finally he patted Gao Zheng's shoulder again: "Because of you, I have appeared on the rostrum of the Marassi Stadium more and more often, although the doctor is against me doing this, but ...... Fuck, I just want to see you tease those defenders, I just want to see your goals, and my condition will only get worse if you don't let me see me! ”

When Mr. Chairman left, he walked so fast that he didn't need his son to support him. Looking like this, it looks like an old man who has a terminal illness and has been warned by a doctor......

※※※

By the time Gao Zheng came out of an exclusive interview with Samp TV, the official TV station of Sampdoria Club, the sky was already a little dark, and the sunset hung in the western sky, reflecting most of Boriasco.

Viviano looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, stretched, and said contentedly, "Something's over." ”

Gao Zheng was reaching out to touch his back, which was slapped very hard by Mr. Chairman before the contract was renewed, reminding him to hold his chest high and raise his head.

"What's wrong?" Viviano asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just a little painful to be photographed here...... Mr. President, he has a lot of strength. Gao Zheng said.

"You can't tell you're terminally ill, do you?"

"Hmm." Gao Zheng nodded.

"In fact, Ricardo Garrone is a very controversial person, he insisted on getting rid of Cassano, who was disrespectful to him, although the fans were on Cassano's side, and he once said in an interview that he bought Sampdoria FC in order to make money for speculation. But it cannot be denied that he did save the club at its most dangerous time. Viviano said.

"No one is flawless and flawless." Gao Zheng said.

Viviano nodded, "That's right. Maybe he started running the club with a business mentality, but now no one doubts his affection for the club. ”

Then he also slapped Gao Zheng on the back: "Come on, score, Gao Zheng." You're worth $500 per ball now! ”

Gao Zheng frowned: "Your strength is much smaller than that of Mr. President, Andre, aren't you even as good as an old man?" ”

"Hey! For the first time, I know that you still have masochistic tendencies, Gao Zheng. If you don't mind, I can slap you hard this time......" Viviano rounded his arm as he spoke.

"I'm just casually talking, can you not be so vindictive!" Gao Zheng hurriedly dodged. "I kind of know why you have to insist on calling that group 'The Avengers'......"

With that, he ran to the parking lot.

Viviano didn't chase him, instead looking back at Sampdoria's club building.

The sunset is reflected on the glass, as if the sky has been encased in a window frame. 8)
