Chapter Forty-Six: Brunie Guarding the Cubs

When Gao Zheng ran out of stock in the refrigerator, he came to the "Sailor's House" again to buy Forcacha.

"Boss, how's the game going?"

"Don't mention it!" The fat boss Borata had a sad face. "We lost at home to Parma, four defeats in a row! I listen to you to support the team, and that's how it turned out......"

Listening to the fat boss's complaints, Gao Zheng smiled: "It's always going to get better, things won't be bad all the time." ”

"yes, I don't think we're going to be in the second division next season, right?" Borata looked out the window and felt a little more hopeful.

"Here, your four kilos of cheese focaccia." He handed the paper bag to Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng counted the money and handed it over, handing over the money with one hand and receiving the goods with the other: "Goodbye, boss." Hopefully the next game will put you in a good mood. ”

"Thank you, Chinese boy, and good luck too......"

When Gao Zheng walked out of the store for a while, Borata suddenly screamed.

Scared out of his son, who was busy in the kitchen, he rushed out with a rolling pin: "What's the matter, Dad?" ”

"That Chinese boy just now...... Where have I seen it! Borata said, pointing to the door.

"The Chinese boy? Of course you have seen it, don't you always see him? The son laughed.

Borata rolled his eyes at his son's stupidity, then pulled out the newspaper and flipped to the sports section: "I'll just say where I've seen it, it's here!" ”

My son came up to take a look.

Hat-trick in the Lighthouse Derby – another talented new star in Sampdoria's reserves! 》

Underneath the headline is a black-and-white photo of a Chinese boy being interviewed by a reporter wearing a Sampdoria jersey!

"This ...... The Chinese boy who bought bread so many times with us turned out to be a Sampdoria reserve player? The son was also stunned.

Although Gao Zheng scored a hat-trick in the Beacon derby for the reserve team, he did not see any reporters on the sidelines when he arrived at the training ground.

'I didn't even have fans outside the training base asking for autographs. Gao Zheng said to Marcy. "I thought I was going to be a household name soon."

Marcy said: "It's normal, everyone's attention is drawn to the four consecutive defeats of the first team. ”

Gao Zheng remembered the words of the fat boss of the bakery.

He really doesn't care enough about Sampdoria's first team.

"After four consecutive defeats, you won't really want to be demoted to the second division, right?"

Ma Xi hurriedly covered Gao Zheng's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! We will definitely succeed in relegation! ”

Gao Zheng asked: "What are our rankings now and how many points do we have?" ”

"Uh......" Marcy hesitated a little, but finally said honestly, "Sixteenth, thirty-one points......"

"The bottom three are relegated, it's still a bit dangerous."

"Phew! Don't talk nonsense, I firmly believe that we will stay in the first division! Marcy said with a determined expression.

Goalkeeper Tozo, who was passing by next to him, heard the conversation between the two and stood on Gao Zheng's side: "I am also worried about the future of the team...... We sold both of our main strikers during the winter break and I don't know what the officials at the club were thinking......"

Marcy suddenly set his eyes on Gao Zheng: "I think the club is in this situation now, the big devil, you are likely to get the opportunity to play in the first team!" ”

Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "Just kidding, Alberto." I'm still only a substitute in the reserve team now, how can I go to the first team? ”

"It's okay to go to the first team and play as a substitute......"

Gao Zheng shook his head: "I think too much, Alberto." What we need most now is not the first team, but the games, lots of games, all kinds of games. Why go to the first team if you stay in the reserve squad and have a steady chance of playing? ”

Meanwhile, sporting manager Tosi approached Bruni: "There's good news, Luciano. Gao's performance in the reserve lighthouse derby has caught the attention of the first team and they are debating whether to send Gao and Icardi to the first team to train with the team......

Bruni frowned, "What's the good news?" ”

"That means the two of their little talents will hopefully play in the first team!"

Bruni shook his head: "It's not even good news. ”

"Why?" Tossi was surprised by Bruni's reaction.

"Neither of them is ready to play professionally, let alone face a relegation battle. If you let them go to the first team now, you will ruin them......"

Tossi looked at Brunie with a serious face and smiled, "That's too exaggerated, isn't it?" ”

"No, no, it's not an exaggeration at all." Bruni is still serious. 'Gao's body is not ready, Icardi is still too young and it is extremely detrimental to their future to let them go to the first team now. I am against the first team calling them up. If it's not convenient for you to say to them, I can tell them that they have requisitioned Zaza and Obiang from me, but they have played very little in the first team, so there is no point in raising them. ”

Tossi didn't expect Bruni to be so disgusted by the first team's call-up of his players, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Well, I'll give the first team your opinion." But I don't guarantee ......"

"No, Mr. Manager, you have to guarantee it. If you can't promise it, then let me talk to the first team and I'll convince them. If they could have fully considered the long-term interests of the team, they would not have done this kind of thing. ”

"Long-term benefits?" Tossi smiled. "If the team is relegated, what is the long-term benefit?"

"If you are relegated, then you will fight back from the second division, I don't believe that Sampdoria will be the end of the world if they are relegated. But if we lose good young people, we can't provide them with a good enough environment to grow up, we destroy their talents, we ruin them...... That's the real end times! Bruni said very seriously.

Although he is usually quite serious, today he is extraordinarily serious.

Tosi always felt that today's Bruni was like a beast protecting his cubs, and he was particularly effective and couldn't be provoked.

PS, the score between Colombia and Japan was guessed correctly, is this the relationship between victory and defeat......

Don't mention it!

I don't know what I predicted for the matches between Poland and Senegal and Russia against Egypt?
