The Enzo Ricci Stadium, a stadium with a capacity of only 4,000 and eight people, is now a training ground shared by Sassuolo's first team and reserve team.

There is a building next to the training ground, which is where the Sassuolo club is located, and the offices, physiotherapy rooms, dressing rooms and other rooms are concentrated in this building, as a club, Sassuolo is really very small and mini.

In the coach's office of the reserve team, head coach Mandley let out an exclamation: "Sampdoria reserves won the championship?!" They beat Roma reserves 5:0?! ”

"What is there to be surprised about, Paro. Don't forget, high in the Sampdoria reserves. Luciano Callino shrugged his shoulders as he sat on the couch with his legs crossed.

Mandelley glanced at the well-rounded Carlino: "But he won't be in the reserve team next season." ”

'Of course, with his performances, if Sampdoria doesn't move him to the first team, then their coach has a problem with his brain.' Carlino was not surprised.

"I remember Sampdoria being relegated."

"Of course, they were terrible last season...... Callino stopped in the middle of the sentence, because he remembered one thing - Sampdoria will be in the same league as Sassuolo next season, so they will meet at least twice, and maybe twice if they reach the promotion play-offs. It's like a face-to-face door......

Seeing his expression, Mandley knew what he remembered, and he gloated: "It's your first team's turn next season to have a headache, Luciano!" ”

"Hell!"

Luciano Bruni is back on the training ground.

The training of the reserve team had long since ended, but before he could reach the training ground, he heard the sound of hitting the ball echoing over the empty training ground.

He saw that Gao Zheng was still practicing free kicks for himself.

His free-kick training style is a bit different from other players.

In general free kick training, just use a moving human wall prop, but Gao Zheng uses two.

The two human wall props were put together, and they almost completely blocked the goal.

Gao Zheng first fixed in one place to kick ten balls.

Then he changed places and kicked ten more balls.

And so on until he had kicked all the balls in the big net pocket next to him, then he ran to pick them all up and keep playing.

This scene is not new to Bruni, because Gao Zheng has been practicing like this for a month.

At the beginning, when he saw Gao Zheng practicing like this, he also instructed Gao Zheng not to use two walls, one was enough.

But Gao Zheng insisted on his approach and took the initiative to increase the difficulty.

Later, Bruni didn't talk about it.

Today, when he saw Gao Zheng still practicing free kicks on the training ground, he shouted: "Gao, the season is over, you don't need to train anymore!" ”

His shouting made Gao Zheng stop.

Bruni walked onto the pitch and looked at Gao Zheng.

Last night the team came back from Rome by bus overnight, and this afternoon the whole team came to the Mugnini Sports Centre for a restorative training session, and the coaching staff announced that the season was over, that all the games of the reserve team had been played this season, and that they had finished the season with a reserve team title, which was a successful end to the season.

As soon as the training was over, the players were all gone like rabbits.

A wonderful holiday awaits them for them.

What Bruni didn't expect was that Gao Zheng actually stayed to practice free kicks.

Gao Zheng glanced at the head coach and raised his hand to greet him: "I still have two rounds, wait until I finish playing......"

"Don't practice, you won't be able to improve your free-kick level just because you have two fewer rounds." Bruni came up and said, "I know you're here, but I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

Gao Zheng smiled and said: "I wish you a happy holiday, coach, and we will see you next season." Where are you going on vacation? ”

"We won't see each other next season, we should." Bruni said.

"Huh?" Gao Zheng was a little surprised.

'Next season I'll be in charge of a first-team team, not a reserve team.

"Where?"

"Luchese."

Gao Zheng looked confused, and he didn't know which team this was at all.

"This season they are in Group B of the third division." Bruni explained.

Gao Zheng showed a sudden look, but in fact, he still didn't know what kind of team it was and where the club was located.

"Why don't you stay, Coach? You've done a good job here, and we've won the championship......" Gao Zheng was a little reluctant to be a cold-hearted head coach.

"I spent a season in the Juventus reserve team before coming to Sampdoria Reserves. Bruni said. "Before that, I was working as an assistant coach in Verona. I also coached in the reserves in Piacenza and Siena, and in the reserves in Fiorentina...... To be honest, any coach still wants to be able to coach the first team. It's like every reserve player wants to play in the first team. Lucese is not a very well-known and top-level team, but for me maybe it's a good stage. ”

After listening to the head coach's explanation, Gao Zheng said: "Then I can only wish you good luck, coach." If you go to that place, I won't be able to help you. ”

Bruni smiled: "I would like to loan you to Sampdoria, but Sampdoria will definitely not agree." You should be in the first team next season, but don't take it lightly, it's a completely different world from the reserves. ”

Gao Zheng nodded: "I know, coach." What you do well in the reserve team doesn't necessarily come out in the first team. ”

Bruni was pleased with Gao Zheng's answer: "I don't know what the first team will be like. The team is relegated, the manager is changed, and the rest of the coaching staff should be changed. What kind of personality is the new manager and what is his thinking about building the team...... We don't know any of that. But whatever the case may be, you have to be patient and don't rush. And once you have the opportunity, seize it, don't waste it easily. The first team doesn't have as much patience with young players as the reserves. ”

"Understood, coach."

'You're a very smart player, tall. You're more brainy than any genius I've ever met. Even though I'm a coach, I can't really coach you more, so I wish you the best of luck. But don't practice now, go home, I mean home in your country. Take a good rest, don't think about training all day long, physical fitness is slowly increasing, and you won't suddenly become unable to run because you have been training in a summer. Rest, rest well, you can start better. ”

Gao Zheng scratched his head: "I know, coach." ”

"Okay, goodbye then, Gao."

Bruni waved his hand, stopped talking nonsense, turned around and left, leaving the training ground.

Gao Zheng stood in place and looked at his background, and the head coach at the last moment was just like his usual appearance, and he didn't talk much. The previous manager had talked a little too much......

It's like I'm explaining what happened.

Gao Zheng flashed this unlucky thought in his mind, and then he took a sip.

Then he looked back at the pile of footballs, remembered that there were two rounds left, and remembered what the coach had just said......

He pondered there for a moment, then walked off the field with the soccer ball in his net pocket.

I don't practice anymore.

Borata is admiring a freshly washed photograph of him and his son with Gao Zheng in a Sampdoria jersey.

This is a group photo of the three of them on the sidelines of the Three Springs Stadium in Rome last night.

And Gao Zheng is still holding the championship trophy of the reserve league in his hands.

All three of them were laughing, but under the flashing lights, their faces were pale, and their eyes were reddened with a somewhat mad smile......

However, Borata was still very satisfied with the photo, and specially washed it out and planned to frame it and hang it in the store.

Just as he was enjoying the photo of himself and Gao Zheng with satisfaction, the door of the store was pushed open.

"Hello boss." Gao Zheng's voice rang out.

Seeing Gao Zheng, Borata put down the photo and greeted with a smile: "Are you back from training?" He noticed the sportswear on Gao Zheng's body and the bag he was carrying.

"Well, the last training session."

"That's the end of the season...... Borata's sigh. I felt like the sky was falling when the team was relegated, but luckily the reserve team won the championship, which was a bonus, thank you, Gao. ”

"You're welcome, boss, after all, I ate so many of your free focaccia." Gao Zheng saw the boss's happy smile, and he was also very happy, why did he decide to win the championship in the first place, wasn't it just to see such a smile?

Borata laughed: "I've already thought of the advertising slogan - 'Sailor's House' Focaccia, to provide energy for the champion!" ”

Gao Zheng gave a thumbs up to the boss.

Borata handed the loaded four-kilogram Forcacha to Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng refused: "It's not that much, boss." Just one kilogram. ”

"Huh?" Borata was surprised.

"I'll be home the day after tomorrow, and I won't be able to eat so much."

Borata was stunned for a moment, then patted himself on the forehead: "I forgot that you are a Chinese boy...... Also, it's time to go home and get some rest. Will I see you in the first team next season? ”

"I don't know, boss. That's a coaching thing. ”

Borata frowned: "If the first team coach doesn't call you, then he has water in his head!" ”

Gao Zheng laughed, picked up the refilled paper bag, and said goodbye to the fat boss.

"Goodbye, high, and have a great holiday."

"Goodbye, boss, and have a nice day."

Borata smiled as Gao Zheng pushed the door open, and he picked up the photo again.

The focus on the development team is still low, but next season he believes that more people will definitely know Gao Zheng, and by then, he can proudly introduce them to the rising star - he won the championship with my Focaccia!

PS, anyway, after the World Cup, I had to make a jet lag - I got up early yesterday, but I couldn't sleep, and I tossed and turned in bed until it was almost cold.

There is still no game tonight, so everyone has a good rest.
