The regular midweek press conference is usually attended by the manager and one player.

The manager is of course fixed, and the players in attendance are rotated, basically ensuring that every player gets an appearance in front of the media. Of course, if someone voluntarily refuses, they will not force the arrangement.

As for which players will be able to attend this press conference, each team will use a different approach.

Some teams are assigned by captain, while others are drawn by lot.

In Sampdoria, the method is used where the captain asks for assignments.

Gastadro, as the current captain of the Sampdoria squad, will have to choose who to send to the press conference today.

He had to have a few candidates in mind, and then he would choose one at random.

Of course, there is a principle - the players who participated in the press conference last time will not be selected. After all, it's not interesting to attend a press conference twice in a row.

Before the match against Genoa, Gao Zheng was attended at the regular press conference in midweek, because of the war of words between Gao Zheng and Antonio Donnarumma, as the focus of attention, Gastadello thought that Gao Zheng should be given a chance to speak out in front of the media and respond to Donnarumma.

Since the pre-match press conference was attended, Gao Zheng cannot be selected for this week's regular press conference.

But when Gastadero had not yet announced in the locker room who was going to meet reporters, Gao Zheng took the initiative to find him in private.

"Captain, let me go to this press conference too, right?"

Gastadero was surprised, but he didn't expect Gao Zheng to find him for this. In his mind, Gao Zheng is not the kind of player who is willing to speak out frequently in front of the media. He had never expressed interest in attending such a press conference before......

"This, Gao, you know, can't participate in the ...... twice in a row" Gasadero intends to politely reject Gao Zheng.

But I didn't expect Gao Zheng's attitude to be very resolute this time: "I know this rule, but this time the situation is a little special." You know what the Trade Courier says about me, right? ”

Gastadero nodded, who doesn't know about this, they still have grievances for Gao Zheng in the team.

"This press conference, the reporter of the "Trade Courier" newspaper will definitely come. I would like to take this opportunity to respond formally to this, and I think the format of the regular press conference is more formal. ”

Facing Gao Zheng with a serious expression, Gastadero really couldn't find a reason to refuse. Gao Zheng really needs a formal occasion to respond to the misunderstanding of him in the media.

Thinking of this, Gasadero nodded: "I will make the cause and effect clear in the locker room." ”

"No problem."

Outside the venue of the press conference, the head coach's Francisco met Gao Zheng, and he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm in the spotlight, of course." Gao Zheng smiled at the head coach.

Di Francisco frowned: "You don't want to make trouble at the press conference, do you?" ”

Gao Zheng shook his head like a rattle: "How is it possible, coach?" It's not me who wants to make trouble, it's the journalist. I'm here to keep them from doing any more. ”

"Yo?" Di Francesco came interested.

Gao Zheng said in a very serious tone: "I hope to be able to completely calm down the meaningless discussions that happened in football. ”

"It's good......" Di Francesco saw that Gao Zheng suddenly became serious, and he didn't know why, but he had a bad premonition......

※※※

The reporters waiting at the press conference were stunned when they saw that the player representative who came in behind head coach Di Francesco turned out to be Gao Zheng.

Of course, they want to be able to interview Gao Zheng here, but according to their understanding of the rules of the Sampdoria team, they also know that it is impossible for Gao Zheng to participate in this kind of press conference twice in a row.

As a result, Gao Zheng suddenly appeared, and many people had to wonder if their eyes were wrong......

When Gao Zheng sat down and looked at the reporters in the audience with a smile, they finally decided that it was Gao Zheng who came to attend the press conference today!

Many people then thought of the recent report about Gao Zheng in the Trade Courier newspaper.

Someone simply set his sights on Francisco Chiorno, a reporter for the Trade Courier.

Under the gaze of everyone, Chiorno became excited.

After the newspaper was released, both Gao Zheng and his agent Viviano were strangely silent, knowing that when fighting with Donnarumma, Gao Zheng's side was a player and an agent.

As a result, it was his turn, but Gao Zheng was silent.

Naturally, this disappointed the whole newspaper of the trade courier - they were also counting on a war of words with Gao Zheng, in the meantime, to attract enough attention to see if they could take the opportunity to shake the market share of the newspaper in Genoa.

Now that Chiorno has found out that Gao Zheng actually attended the press conference, it is difficult not to think about the recent controversy - is he here to respond to us?

Chiorno was excited about the speculation, and he was ready to go toe-to-toe with Gao Zheng.

He is not afraid of being pointed at his nose and scolded, but he is afraid that no one will scold him......

Thinking of this, he sat upright in his place.

And he was 100% sure that when Gao Zheng entered the venue, he took a special look at him.

What does this mean?

※※※

When everyone was seated, the press officer called the press conference to begin.

First of all, head coach Di Francisco talked about the recent situation of the team, injuries, form, tactical lineup and so on.

But everyone's mind is not on this at all. There's nothing to pay special attention to in itself.

Everyone's eyes were on Gao Zheng, knowing that the next reporter's question session would be the highlight.

Sure enough, as soon as the press officer announced that reporters could ask questions, the Trade Courier reporter Keior immediately raised his hand in the air.

The press officer hesitated, but looked away from his hand for another target.

This upset Chiorno, who shouted: "Why? ”

The press officer said in his heart, why don't you call you, don't you have points in your own heart?

He decided to continue ignoring Chiorno.

But at this moment, Gao Zheng, who was sitting on the rostrum, said to him: "It's okay, let him ask." ”

There was a small commotion at the scene - Gao Zheng's meaning was obvious, this was to make things bigger!

Seeing this, Chiorno also glanced at the press officer proudly - you didn't call me just now!

The press officer is on fire in his heart when he is seen - bastard, you are still dragged!

But he still suppressed his anger and lit Chiorno.

Chiorno stood up, not in a hurry to answer the question, but took a good time to straighten his clothes, and then cleared his throat, deliberately making a good move.

Just when the press officer couldn't resist reminding him, he finally spoke.

First of all, he introduced himself: "I am Francisco Chiorno, a journalist for the Trade Courier newspaper, and I want to ......"

At this moment, everyone saw Gao Zheng raise his hand, open his palm, and make a "wait a minute" gesture.

Seeing this gesture, Chiorno couldn't help but stop, wanting to see what Gao Zheng was going to do.

Gao Zheng asked, "I'm sorry, can you introduce yourself again?" ”

Everyone didn't understand why Gao Zheng still asked, just now Chiorno specially invited his voice to say, and the speed of speech was not fast, everyone heard clearly, could Gao Zheng not hear clearly?

Chiorno didn't understand why Gao Zheng asked him to repeat his self-introduction, but it didn't matter, it just deepened everyone's impression, and it was good that this advertisement could be played twice in a row......

So he recalled: "I am the ...... of the Trade Courier."

He didn't say any more, because he saw Gao Zheng raise his hand again.

Can the ad be played three times?

Even Di Francisco and the press officer couldn't understand what Gao Zheng was doing.

In front of everyone, Gao Zheng smiled, re-fiddled with the microphone in front of him for a long time, then cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry, I don't accept any interview from the Trade Courier newspaper anytime, anywhere, in any form. So, next. ”

Chiorno was stunned, he thought that Gao Zheng would quarrel with him, and he also thought about how Gao Zheng would quarrel with him, he had even made a plan for this in his heart, and rehearsed it first. But he didn't expect that Gao Zheng not only didn't quarrel with him, but also directly cut off the possibility of his interview!

"No, you can't ......," he quickly protested after reacting.

"Next, this gentleman on the far left of the third row......" The press officer didn't give him a chance to finish his protest, and directly ordered an old acquaintance.

Freccello, a reporter for the Nineteenth Century Newspaper, also cooperated to stand up at the first time, he did not wait for a long time to ask a question like Chiorno, but threw the question out as soon as he got up, without even introducing himself: "Gao, you have now scored thirteen goals in thirteen rounds, and I have noticed that recently, both in the media and on social networks, there has been more and more discussion about whether you can get the Golden Boot of the league this season. I also know that when you answered a question from Sky TV after the game, you said that it was not yet time to consider the top scorer...... But the outside world has not decreased because of this, and I would like to ask you what you think of the outside world talking about this issue......"

He wanted to help Gao Zheng change the topic, so that everyone wouldn't focus on the discussion of Gao Zheng's character - discussing the ownership of the Golden Boot is better than discussing whether Gao Zheng's character is inferior, right? Aside from the recent Golden Boot, there is nothing else worth everyone's attention and discussion......

In his mind, Gao Zheng should still maintain the answer he gave to Sky TV a few days ago, and it was too early to discuss it. However, it doesn't matter how Gao Zheng answers, the important thing is that the controversy provoked by the "Trade Courier" has been exposed, and everyone can continue to discuss the topic of the Golden Boot, or change the topic.

Gao Zheng was also a little surprised.

He never expected Frecello to ask this question......

Chiorno snorted, "This question already has an answer, wasting the opportunity to ask it just to hear it again?" ”

He was very dissatisfied, he was directly deprived of the opportunity to ask questions, and Frecello, a reporter who worked for a rival, actually asked such a substandard question, in his opinion, it was simply occupying the pit and not......

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gao Zheng say: "Yes, I did think it was too early to discuss the ownership of the Golden Boot, after all, the league has only been played for thirteen rounds." But I thought about it, why not? Any striker wants to be the top scorer and I'm no exception. So, yes, I'm thinking about the Golden Boot and I'll do everything I can to get it! ”

The scene was in an uproar.

Gao Zheng said before that it was too early, everyone agreed with it, and it is really inappropriate to discuss this topic now, and it is easy to be used by people with intentions to attack Gao Zheng with no one in his eyes and contempt for his opponent or something......

So there was nothing wrong with his previous response.

But I didn't expect that it had only been a few days, why did Gao Zheng's tone change completely?

He actually said bluntly in front of everyone that he was going to take the top scorer?!

Is the difficulty of the competition for the Golden Boot in Serie A reduced, or is it Gao Zheng who has announced that he will lock the Golden Boot in 25 rounds of the league in advance? !

The expression on Frecello's face was glazed - he didn't expect that he would get such a sensational answer to a question he just asked casually.

Wang Yixing and Lu Bing glanced at each other, Lu Bing saw his hidden worries from Wang Yixing's eyes, and he knew what Wang Yixing, a pessimist, was worried about-Gao Zheng was going to become the target of public criticism......

This kid has always been very cunning, why is he suddenly so strong today?

Head coach Di Francesco also turned his head and looked at Gao Zheng in surprise, and suddenly felt that Gao Zheng in front of him had become a little unfamiliar.

Chiorno sat in his seat dumbfounded, knowing that it was all over, and that the controversy that the Trade Courier had so managed to cause was about to be drowned out in the heat of the Golden Boot proclamation......
