Chapter 414: Missed Once, Missed in a Lifetime
After Atletico Madrid came to Milan, the training ground for the Champions League final was precisely the Milanello training base.
Because of the good relationship between Real Madrid and Inter Milan, Real Madrid took the lead in finalizing the matter of borrowing Inter Milan's training base to prepare for the Champions League.
In this way, Atletico Madrid is naturally left only with AC Milan's training base.
When they knew the news, the first thought that popped into many people's minds was "conspiracy theory" - whether Real Madrid deliberately wanted to use Milanello to disgust Gao Zheng, and then make him unable to prepare for the Champions League final properly and play abnormally in the game.
Because now the whole of Europe knows the grievances between Gao Zheng and AC Milan.
Now on the sidelines of Milanello's training ground, Gao Zheng is surrounded by countless reporters, and it is somewhat surprising that there are many Chinese reporters among these reporters, but they are not the mainstream.
The number of Italian and Spanish journalists is no less than that of Chinese journalists.
For the first time for Chinese players to participate in the Champions League final, the Chinese media paid great attention, whether it was traditional print media, TV stations, or online platform new media, they all flew from China to Milan, Italy, to cover the event.
For Chinese football, this is almost the biggest media event for the men's national team outside of the World Cup.
Even the Asian Cup can't be compared.
Before coming to Milan, many Chinese journalists imagined that they would often meet their compatriots on the streets of Milan, especially the closer they got to the final venue.
As a result, when they came, they found that the Chinese compatriots had not seen much, but they had become the target of interviews with many Italian and Spanish colleagues......
Among them, the grievances between Gao Zheng and AC Milan have also become the focus of discussion.
"Milanello is not very familiar to me." Gao Zheng said to dozens of reporters from various countries. "I'll tell you the truth, because I've always been at the Vismara Training Centre, the youth base north of Milan. I haven't been here very often, but I don't think I've been there more than five times...... So don't ask me if I feel at home here, I really don't. I can't see things and people here. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Zheng laughed.
He also knows the opinions about Real Madrid's conspiracy theories on the Internet, but he doesn't care at all, whether the conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory or not, it doesn't affect him.
Hearing Gao Zheng say this, many of the reporters also laughed, of course they knew what Gao Zheng meant when he said this.
Later, Gao Zheng took the initiative to talk about Sampdoria and talked about his teammates in Sampdoria: "I haven't met them yet, but we have been in touch through mobile phones. We agreed to get back together after the Champions League final, and they didn't want to come to me at this time, for fear of being a scapegoat if we lost...... Ha ha! ”
Gao Zheng made a joke.
However, in the ears of sensitive reporters, this is probably not as simple as a joke, and immediately a reporter asked: "Did that thing really lose?" Are you still in the mood to party? ”
Immediately, some reporters turned their heads and glared at their colleagues who asked this question - what do you mean by this!
Gao Zheng waved his hand, as if he didn't care about the reporter's "crow's mouth": "Why not?" If you lose, you won't live? Besides, we have a 50% chance of winning! ”
Isn't it?
Just two results, either lose or win, isn't it 50 percent?
This is equivalent to not saying it!
Everyone still thinks that Gao Zheng wants to express his determination to win......
※※※
While Gao Zheng was surrounded by media reporters, AC Milan's youth director Filipe Ghali stood far away in the shadows under a tree.
He looked over there, and the crowd burst into laughter.
He didn't know what Gao Zhen said, which made the reporters so happy.
But he knew that the atmosphere was not bad, relaxed, and there was no sign of tension.
This suggests that journalists may not be asking those sensitive questions......
In fact, he shouldn't have come here, in case he was caught by reporters, he would be on the front page the next day.
But he couldn't help but want to take a look.
He didn't know what he was going to see, he just wanted to take a look.
When Gao Zheng came to AC Milan Juniors, he was the club's youth director, and he still remembers the first time he saw Gao Zheng.
He doubted that this Chinese like a bamboo pole would be able to succeed in Milan's academy.
Although Gao Zheng has shown some things that interest the academy in the previous invitational tournaments, potential does not equal the ability to realize potential.
No one knows if this teenager will be able to grow up to be what everyone expects in the future.
As head of academy, Gary has seen a lot of talented people who died young.
So when the Milan laboratory sentenced Gao Zheng to death, he was not surprised, and even had a feeling of "I knew it would be like this".
It was a strange feeling, but it haunted him.
Gao Zheng showed the stubbornness of an eighteen-year-old child at that time and left the club without hesitation.
Gary had thought he would never see this man again.
I didn't expect it......
Fate really loves to play tricks on people.
Gary sighed silently.
If he hadn't trusted the Milan lab so much, would the results be different today?
No......
He doesn't believe in the Milan lab, he believes in his own deep-seated biases.
So nothing will change.
AC Milan is now seventh in the league, missing out on the Europa League and the Champions League.
There has been a lot of internal change and infighting at the club, and Mr. Berlusconi seems to have lost confidence and interest in the club......
Everything is moving towards a worse situation.
If we had Gao Zheng, wouldn't all this have happened?
Gary didn't continue to think about it, because if such an assumption was meaningless, the hypothetical thing would not have happened, and what would be the use of regretting it even more?
It's better to forget Gao Zheng completely, from now on, everyone will go to the side, and no longer say who has grievances with whom.
Everyone should know very well that Gao Zheng will never return to AC Milan in his life.
On the other hand, with AC Milan's current financial situation, I am afraid that there is no money to buy Gao Zheng back.
If you miss it once in the year, you will miss it completely in this life.
Philip Ghali didn't linger, but turned and walked into the shadows, disappearing to the edge of the training ground.
Maybe many years to come, some people will say that letting Gao Zheng go is the most unsuccessful stroke in his career as a youth manager, but he thinks he can laugh it off.
Because some things can't be avoided.
As fate would have it, Gao Zheng would not belong to AC Milan.
