Chapter 88 Trap
Lu Bing looked around and looked at the crowded media table, and couldn't help but sigh: "There were so many reporters in a Serie B game, just like a group of sharks that smelled blood."
Wang Yixing next to him quickly said, "Hey, we are also reporters!"
Lu Bing smiled: "Didn't we come with the smell of blood?"
When I just learned that Gao Zheng was in Sampdoria, the domestic media was very excited for a while. After all, as a long-famous genius player, football reporters are not unfamiliar with Gao Zheng. After leaving AC Milan due to serious injuries, I can still see him rise again. This is simply a lively inspirational drama!
It's so gimmick and so hype.
So 10 Chinese journalists came to Hulala to gather at Boriasco, where the Sampdoria training base was located. In this small town with a small population, they immediately became the most popular group.
The residents of the small town of Boriasco naturally knew what these Chinese journalists came for, and they all gave thumbs up and said "high". This made the Chinese journalists very excited and felt that they were really here right.
So one report after another about Gao Zheng flew back to China.
What Chinese fans were most familiar with during that time were articles like this:
"The residents of the town praised Gao Zheng and called him Sampdoria's hope!"
"The Highness in the Eyes of Sampdoria Fans: He is a Peerless Genius!"
"I saw a photo of Gao Zheng in a bakery, and his popularity is beyond your imagination!"
"The Bakery Owner Tells about a Gao Zheng We Don't Know!"
"The Celebrity of the Town Gao Zheng!"
"The core of the reserve team has staged a super god battle in the finals!"
...
At that time, the Chinese football world had just experienced a storm of cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil, and even the executives of the Football Association were not spared. People who used to be in jail on news programs.
Chinese football also fell into a low period.
At this time, everyone needs a person who can inspire people.
Gao Zheng, a super genius who was once highly anticipated by everyone, appeared again in time.
Gao Zheng, who appeared like a phoenix nirvana, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
After confirming that Gao Zheng has entered the Sampdoria first-team roster, everyone began to look forward to Gao Zheng being able to play in the league on behalf of the first-team.
Although it is the Serie B League and there is no broadcasting rights in China, everyone is still looking forward to it.
But he never waited for Gao Zheng to appear.
Not only the league, but everyone went to make pre-season warm-up matches, and there was no record of Gao Zheng's appearance.
Although everyone knows that there is still a big gap between the reserve team and the first team. If the reserve team plays well, it may not necessarily be able to play in the first team immediately, and you still need to adapt.
But with such high attention, the Chinese media can't even enter the roster every game, which still makes Chinese media very disappointed and frustrated.
Chinese reporters asked head coach Attzori at a press conference when Gao Zheng would play. Every time Attzori always said that Gao Zheng was not ready and that his body was not strong enough to fight against the savage and rude defenses in the second division.
Later, the reporters stopped asking because they would definitely answer this way after asking, and they would never be ready. But it is not easy to become stronger. It is definitely not a matter of one day or one night. It is a long-term process.
Doesn’t that mean that Gao Zheng can’t get a chance to play this season?
The reporters complained about the head coach's arrangements, and they could see that the head coach's attitude towards them, Chinese journalists, was not good, and he was very perfunctory when answering. So another reason why the reporters were not asking was that they were worried that they would anger the head coach and let the head coach take his anger on Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng does not appear and lacks enough news materials, so it is meaningless to continue to stay here. After all, they have spent so much manpower, financial resources and material resources to report Gao Zheng in a foreign country. If Gao Zheng doesn’t even have a one-minute chance to perform, they really have nothing to report on.
When I first came to Boriasco, I felt that this was a treasure house about Gao Zheng. I could tell you about Gao Zheng for a long time if I caught someone on the street. However, as Gao Zheng was unable to appear for a long time, the situation in the town could no longer say anything new.
It would be unwise to stay here at this time.
So Chinese journalists began to leave Boriasco, Genoa, and Italy one after another.
Until now, only Lu Bing and Wang Yixing are left. Both of them are still journalists who are based in Italy, but they have also returned to their respective cities, one in Milan and the other in Rome.
If it weren't for this game, they would probably not have come before that Gao Zheng was put on the roster.
They are here to look forward to Gao Zheng being able to play, and the Italian colleagues are probably not focused on Gao Zheng, they are here to witness Atzori's final fate.
Lu Bing knew this very well, so he lamented that the Italian colleagues were sharks that smelled bloody - he was not mocking his colleagues, but joking about Artzori, a dying man.
If Atzori is really out of class, Lu Bing would be very happy, but it is not because the coach has a bad attitude towards Chinese journalists. As a Chinese journalist who has worked in Italy for a long time, Lu Bing can already clearly distinguish his work and personal grudges.
He just felt that if Atzori was dismissed, Gao Zheng's situation might change.
Just two weeks ago, Genoa's largest local media, The 19th Century, exposed the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atzori, saying that their tension was not caused by Gao Zheng's delay in getting a appearance. On the contrary, Gao Zheng's inability to get even one-minute chance to play under Atzori was because of the conflict between the two.
The 19th Century News interviewed a person around Gao Zheng who was said to be very close to Gao Zheng and learned the reason for the conflict from the person around him. It is said that Atzori intends to target Gao Zheng in the team, perhaps because Gao Zheng is a Chinese player.
Atzori later denied his racial discrimination against Gao Zheng in an interview. He said that he had no problems with Gao Zheng, and the media was just talking nonsense.
What is interesting is Gao Zheng’s answer in an interview.
He first denied the statement that he had conflicts with the head coach, and then he said that it was just that the two of them had some inconsistent understanding and differences in football.
"...He asked me to play the traditional big center, let me fight with the defenders in front of the goal, create opportunities for my teammates, and occupy space in the penalty area. I worked hard to do what he said, but maybe my ability is far from meeting the coach's requirements, so there has not been much progress until now..."
When Gao Zheng said this, he looked depressed, as if he was really disappointed by his "incompetence".
But after careful consideration, you can guess another meaning of this statement - looking at Gao Zheng's body, combined with other people's evaluation of Gao Zheng's style, how could Gao Zheng be the most important thing to play in the big center? Atzori insisted on letting Gao Zheng transform. Is there any water in his mind?
Last season, after the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atzori was exposed, Bruni, the head coach of Sampdoria reserve team, came out to be interviewed and said that Atzori did not find Gao Zheng's instructions and used the wrong method. How could he see a Gao Zheng like in the reserve team? He also criticized Atzori for doing so that he would only increase the risk of Gao Zheng's injury. This is not helping Gao Zheng improve, but it will ruin a genius.
Brunoy led Sampdoria to the Reserve League championship last season. His correct use of Gao Zheng is an important reason why Sampdoria's reserve team was able to counterattack in the second half of the season last season.
He is not a well-known person in the coaching industry, but if you know Gao Zheng, then no one can compare to him.
With the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atzori as the fuse, there was a burst of calls in the media to ask Atzori to be dismissed.
Wang Yixing was also looking at his Italian colleagues. He frowned: "Old Lu, of course I also hope Atzori gets out, but I am also a little worried."
Lu Bing asked strangely: "Worry? What are you worried about?"
"I think it's obvious that in order to defeat Atzori, the media in Genoa used Gao Zheng as a gun. The whole thing broke out because the conflict between Gao Zheng and Atzori was exposed. In order to make their actions convincing and justified, they blew Gao Zheng into a peerless genius in the publicity. During this period, I have read a lot of reports from our colleagues about Gao Zheng. They dig deep into Gao Zheng's history of training at the AC Milan youth training camp, and Gao Zheng's honor as the best player of the U16 that year... As a result, AC Milan was caught in the shoot and let Gao Zheng go, the youth training director Philip Galli, was considered to be blind... Now there is such a trend of thought, as long as the person standing opposite Gao Zheng is a villain. To be honest, I don't like this idea very much, I think it's very dangerous."
After hearing Wang Yixing's words, Lu Bing's expression became solemn.
Because he thought what Wang Yixing said was very reasonable.
In order to get Atzori out of class, the entire Genoa media fell into a fanatic atmosphere. Judging from their flattery, it seems that whether Sampdoria can return to the First Division depends on whether Gao Zheng can play. Atzori's biggest crime is to continue to be discontinued from the upgrade. Sampdoria will be farther and farther away from the upgrade, and the reason why the performance is so poor is that it will never allow Gao Zheng to play...
Doesn’t this mean forcibly linking Gao Zheng’s appearance to Sampdoria’s future and destiny for upgrading?
There is a word called "praise and kill".
Although the Genoa media flattery may make Chinese fans feel happy.
But rational people should smell the danger from this tone.
For a young man, it is very harmful to praise him like this.
After Atzori is really over, the media can't say that what they said before doesn't count? Everyone will remember deeply how the media praised Gao Zheng.
At that time, the pressure will be all on Gao Zheng.
The higher he is now, the harder he will fall.
Even if there is a little bit of a problem, it will be magnified countless times and then grabbed.
Even many experienced old players may not be able to bear such pressure, let alone young players.
