Chapter 107 Safflower or green leaves?
When Pelle saw the group of reporters below, he felt that his agent Corvino was right - when he came to Sampdoria, he received attention that he had not even had in Parma. Listen to what coach Accini said when facing the reporters: "Pelle was asked by the club to loan. We need Pelle and we also believe that he can play an important role in the team."
This made Pelle feel comfortable all over. He had never enjoyed such a valued treatment in Parma!
So when facing the reporter's question about "The team now has ten forwards, and the competition will be very fierce. What do you think about this?", Pelle seemed full of confidence.
He remembered the reporter who introduced himself when asked a question and said that he was a team reporter for Genoa's most influential newspaper, The Nineteenth Century.
Since it is the most influential newspaper, he obviously knows how he should answer.
So he raised his chest and raised his chin slightly, with a sense of confidence coming here from the A League, trying to make his voice sound calm: "Oh, I know Sampdoria's goal is to return to the A League, and I think I came here for that."
It's amazing, Graziano!
After Pelle finished speaking, he cheered for himself in his heart.
Perfect expression, whether it is the content of the answer or the tone and expression when speaking, is perfect!
After saying this, Pelle looked at the reporters in the audience with a smile. Some of them were writing hard on their small notebooks. Is this going to record all their performances just now?
Pelle hopes that he can see them evaluating him in Genoa's media: "... Graziano Pelle shows his confidence and charm. This star who came to Sampdoria from the First Division is calm and composed. His arrival has brought light to Sampdoria's great upgrading career..."
Pelle and head coach Yacini then stood up and pulled the Sampdoria jersey with his name and number printed on it for the reporters to take photos.
Pelle kept a bright smile, her white teeth shining against the flashing lights.

As soon as Wang Yixing came out of the press conference, he couldn't wait to complain to Lu Bing: "I really don't understand. There is already Gao Zheng, why does Sampdoria need to add centers... Even if Piovacari is leaving the team, the existing forward configuration is completely enough - Pozi, Bertani and Gao Zheng, the three of them are enough, not to mention Macarone, an experienced veteran, and young forward Zaza and Testaldi who return to the team on loan... Just now Frecelo said that there are now ten forwards in the first team, which is not exaggerating at all!"
In fact, in addition to the names mentioned by Wang Yixing, Sampdoria also has four people on the forward line, including Roberto Soriano, Franko Simoli, Bruno Forneroli and Selvadore Forty, which add up to ten people.
And just in the center position, Sampdoria now has six players, Pozzi, Macarone, Bertani, Gao Zheng, Forneroli, and Forty. This is not the case with Pelle who just loaned it. You should know that after Accini took office, Sampdoria played in a double striker lineup, and center alone was enough for him to line up three sets of combinations.
Wang Yixing really couldn't figure out what was necessary and rented Pelle. Moreover, Pelle's data in Palma is not very good...
Lu Bing shrugged: "Who knows? Maybe it was because of the loss of two main strikers during the winter break last season and no goals in the league for five consecutive rounds, which caused the team to be relegated, so Sampdoria now has the phobia of insufficient firepower?"
Wang Yixing heard the joke in Lu Bing's tone, and he said angrily: "You are still in the mood to joke now!"
"Why not? Are you worried that Gao Zheng will not be able to compete with those people?"
"I...I'm not...I'm worried about any change in the head coach's idea. Didn't you hear what Yacini said at the reception? Pelle asked for loan, and he believed that Pelle would play a role... One day, the emperor and the other day, it would be completely reasonable if Yacini wanted to re-train his own line!"
Lu Bing glanced at Wang Yixing, a pessimist and conspiracy theorist: "Old Wang, no matter what, the head coach always hopes that his team can win, right? In this case, if Gao Zheng can keep scoring goals and help the team win, why would Yacini do stupid things like Atzori? Besides, Sampdoria is a double striker, why can't we think that Pelle's arrival will threaten not Gao Zheng, but Pozi and Bertani?"
Wang Yixing was stunned by Lu Bing's remarks.
Lu Bing patted Wang Yixing on the shoulder: "You should have more confidence and optimistic spirit in Gao Zheng, Lao Wang."

"I don't quite understand what you said at the press conference. Giuseppe, if you just say something pleasing to the point, you don't need to say that." Club manager Zagramora asked his doubts after the press conference. "Do we really need Pelle? His performance in Parma is not very good. As a center, he scored pitifully few goals..."
Giuseppe Yacini smiled: "Do you think I'm making fun of the players, Mr. Manager?"
"Uh...didn't you? Didn't you see how bright Pelle's smile was after hearing you say this?"
"Of course, Pelle's scoring data is not impressive. But I asked the club to lend him to the goal not to get him to score. In terms of goals, we have already gotten high, and Pozi and Bertani can score. We don't need Pelle to score."
"Then why do you have to rent him?"
Rather than answering this question, Yacini asked Zagramora a question that seemed completely unrelated: "Sir, what do you think high?"
"Gao? He is a talented player that the club attaches great importance to and is our future star."
"No, I'm not talking about the club's positioning for him." Yacini shook his head. "I'm saying do you think high has any advantages and disadvantages as a player?"
Zagramola frowned and thought about it carefully, and then said, "There is no doubt that his skills are excellent. This is the first time I have seen a tall person like him who has such delicate and exquisite foot skills. His consciousness is also very good... If you want to talk about shortcomings, lack of physical fitness and strength are the biggest shortcomings at present, right?"
"Mr. Manager, you have observed it very carefully, and it is indeed the case. Whether it is physical fitness or strength improvement, it is a long-term process. We cannot expect him to become a strong and unable to run overnight. But high is indeed very important to the team. At least if we want to upgrade, high is an indispensable important force. Now due to physical fitness, Gao can only play as a substitute. Although he has performed well every time he appears on the bench so far, we cannot always expect him to turn the tide every time he appears on the bench, right?"
Hearing Yacini's words, Zagra Mora nodded and agreed.
"Since we cannot do without Gao's ability now, we can turn Gao into a center that can play ninety minutes and can fight with the opponent's defender. Then we have to find other ways. For example... we can find a strong forward and let him to torture the opponent's defender to the fullest, and when the opponent's defender is exhausted, we will send Gao to send a fatal blow."
"So Pelle is the one who tortures the opponent's defender?" asked Zagramora.
Yachini nodded: "I hope so."
"But honestly, Giuseppe, your idea is very tactical, but have you considered whether the player himself is willing to be a young man with a green leaf? Especially this young man is still a substitute now..." Zagramora was not convinced by Yacini, but raised his own concerns. "I don't know if you noticed Pelle's performance at the press conference? I saw some arrogance and superiority in his face. Perhaps what he thought was a little different from what you wanted him to do."
Yacini was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "If he can't put his position right, he won't even have a chance to play."
Zagra Mora spread his hands: "Will the club rent him out for free?"
"Anyway, we didn't ask us to bear his salary. Did the club even spend the rental fee to rent him?"
"Uh, this is not. It's rented for free. Parma seems to be eager to get rid of him..."
