At the Groano Mugnini training base, located halfway up the Boriasco mountain, Gao Zheng and Guo Wei finally met Luciano Carlino's friend Luciano Bruni.

Bruni was also looking at Gao Zheng.

He was tall, but he wasn't very strong, as the Callino guy said on the phone.

"I heard from Callino that he wanted me to give you a tryout. It's not a problem, but it's up to you whether you can stay here or not. ”

Gao Zheng nodded to show that he was clear.

"Okay, then let's go straight to training tomorrow."

"Huh, no competition?" Gao Zheng was a little surprised.

"Than what? I'm going to mess up my training schedule for your sake? It's impossible, just follow the training, there will be a competition. Bruni waved his hand.

Saying goodbye to Bruni, when the two drove out of the car, Guo Wei was still talking to Gao Zheng about this coach: "I don't feel that I attach much importance to you......"

Gao Zheng looked at the sparkling Genoa Bay outside the car window: "I can't talk about being taken seriously now, right?" ”

"But I thought that if I came to the door with the coach's business card, I would have some extra care......"

"Think too much, Uncle Guo. I just hope that when I spend a week training, I don't end up getting eliminated for that reason, otherwise I will waste my time and I won't be able to do more. ”

Guo Wei sighed when he heard this, and stopped talking.

Sampdoria's Mugnaini training base is located in the hills of Boriasco, a small town east of the city of Genoa. Gao Zheng and Guo Wei did not go back to Genoa to rest, but found a hotel in Boriasco to stay, so that it was convenient to train every day.

The two of them found a hotel and found a restaurant near the hotel for dinner.

During the meal, Guo Wei remembered something: "It stands to reason that today is the day of the final result, your Director Yang must be waiting for this result, it is already late today, but I will definitely call him tomorrow, what will I say then?" ”

Gao Zheng said while eating: "Tell the truth, if he doesn't believe it, you can send him that video." ”

He said it lightly, but Guo Wei couldn't sit still: "You don't want to talk to you Director Yang about such a big thing?" ”

"What is there to say? The old man knows what I'm doing. Gao Zheng didn't care.

"Okay......" Guo Wei thought of the performance of the master and apprentice when they said goodbye, and felt that it was normal now. I can't keep up with the times in football anymore, and I can't help you much during the tryouts, so you can do it yourself. ”

"That's right, Uncle Guo, you've helped me a lot, if it weren't for you. I should have been ready to go back to China today, so I really got home. Gao Zheng raised his head, wiped his mouth, looked at Guo Wei and said.

The next day, when Guo Wei sent Gao Zheng to the base of the Sampdoria training ground, he was still a little reluctant to see Gao Zheng walk into the building alone, and stood outside for a while, but did not see Gao Zheng being driven out of it, so he drove back to the hotel at the bottom of the mountain.

Back at the hotel, he pulled out his laptop and started taking care of his business.

But he would always get distracted, looking up through the window at the hill not far away, and the Mugnaini training center could be vaguely seen on the mountainside.

I don't know how Gao Zheng trained there, whether he got along well with his new teammates, and how the coach treated him......

※※※

In the reserve dressing room at the Mugeneini training centre, reserve head coach Bruni introduces his players to new team-mates.

'He's your temporary team-mate and he's going to be training with you for the next week.'

For this kind of "temporary teammate", everyone knows exactly what they are here for.

Tryouts are nothing new either.

But today someone in the team exclaimed: "High? ”

This sound attracted everyone's attention, including Gao Zheng's, who looked at the person who shouted at him in a daze.

Bruni was also curious: "Alberto, do you know him? ”

Alberto Massi, who was named by name, stood up and nodded, "Well, I've fought with him before." ”

Gao Zheng is even more strange, buddy, do I know you?

Marcy continued: "I used to play against Gao's AC Milan junior team when I was in Sampdoria Juniors, the Under-16 class. ”

Speaking of U16s, it was Gao Zheng's best season, they played all over the country, and they must have played against Sampdoria U16, maybe they really played against the one in front of them.

Marcy looked at Gao Zheng with a puzzled look on his face and said with a smile: "You caused endless trouble for our backline in that game, and you scored four goals. And I'm the captain who defended you. ”

Although Gao Zheng still didn't expect who the captain of Sampdoria was when he came to defend him, he still made a sudden realization expression: "Oh-it's you!" ”

"Do you remember?"

"Uh...... No. Gao Zheng scratched his head.

Marcy didn't think about this and smiled: "It's normal that you can't remember, but I'm very impressed with you." Because you destroyed our whole team by yourself, and you scored four goals in the first 25 minutes and beat us all out! ”

Listening to Marcy's narration, the expressions of the other Sampdoria reserve players looking at Gao Zheng changed.

"I didn't expect you to come to us now, what happened in between?"

"Ugh." Gao Zheng hesitated, but still chose to tell the truth. "I've terminated my contract with AC Milan."

"Termination? Why? Marcy's eyes widened in surprise.

"This is a long story......" It's not that Gao Zheng is unwilling to say it, but it's indeed a long story.

Bruni, the head coach of the reserve team, coughed: "Okay, let's talk slowly later." Since Marcy you know Gao, it's easy to do, you take him to meet his teammates, and then get ready for training! ”

※※※

As soon as the head coach left, Alberto Massie introduced Gao Zheng to all his teammates in a very grand way: "Let me introduce you to you, Gao! Gao Zheng! Formerly the AC Milan youth team, he has won the best player of the U16s, which is amazing! ”

"Huh?" Gao Zheng didn't expect Marcy to introduce him to others like this.

"Okay, now you can tell me how you got here, right?" Marcy asked curiously, he really didn't understand the question. Since he was a child, Gao Zheng left a very deep impression in his heart, and he still remembers the scene when Gao Zheng scored his fourth goal with a beautiful volley, and was surrounded by his teammates like a moon.

Marcy will never forget this scene.

Although the AC Milan youth team is not as famous as the Inter Milan youth team next door, it also concentrates many outstanding talented players, but in this talented team, Gao Zheng is the most shining one, like the biggest and most dazzling jewel in the crown.

At that time, he was the captain of the Sampdoria junior team, the main central defender, and he was a genius who was favored and praised since he was a child. At all levels of Sampdoria, there are people who are loved by thousands of people.

But with a genius like him, when he met Gao Zheng, he had no ability to resist, and he was beaten four times in twenty-five minutes, and his mentality was almost broken.

"Actually, it's nothing, I had a serious injury and AC Milan decided that I had no future and terminated my contract." Gao Zheng summed up his grievances with AC Milan in one sentence.

When I heard that it was because of the injury, everyone's curiosity and confusion disappeared - injuries are a common thing for any athlete, and many young talents are basically planted on injuries.

Marcy who asked the question didn't expect that there was such a story behind Gao Zheng, he felt a little guilty, he had exposed Gao Zheng's scars in public......

Gao Zheng spread out his hands: "Actually, it's nothing, I went back to China to rest for a year, and I was still a little unwilling, so I came back to try out everywhere, and I still want to come back to play." ”

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Marcy didn't know what to say except to repeat the sentence. The big demon king-like character he met when he was young is now standing by his side like this, but both the identity and the reason are embarrassing.

Gao Zheng noticed Marcy's strange appearance, and he patted the other party's shoulder: "You haven't introduced my teammates to me yet!" ”

"Oh oh, yes, I'll introduce you, this is Kostisic, Nenad Kosticic ......"
