Chapter one hundred and forty-eight
"Yo, Mauro!" When Gao Zheng saw Icardi in the first team locker room, he greeted him in surprise and joy. "I'm so happy to see you here!"
However, Icardi's response was very cold. He didn't even look at Gao Zheng, who was enthusiastic, let alone respond.
Captain Palonbo said next to him: "Mauro trained with us during the pre-season training camp. Everyone is familiar with him. I don't think we need to introduce him again!"
When he said this, Icardi had already walked to his position and started putting things.
Pelle seemed unhappy with Icardi's cold attitude towards Gao Zheng. He walked up straight, looked down at the other party condescendingly, and asked in a contemptuous tone that anyone could hear: "You are also a striker?"
After hearing this, everyone in the locker room heard this, their ears stood up. Since Pelle first arrived in Sampdoria, he has only heard it once, and it was used on Gao Zheng. They never expected that there would be a chance to hear it again...
If this is enough for everyone to think of, then what everyone to think of is still behind... Mauro Icardi actually met Pelle's gaze without any retreat: "What, do you want to see it?"
There was a commotion in the locker room, and what happened!
When Icardi came to the first team for training in the summer, everyone had been in contact with each other for almost two months. They all knew that he was a shy and relatively taciturn person. Maybe he could only let go a little when facing Gao Zheng, but he was no different from a mute to others...
Unexpectedly, such a shy person dared to choke Pelle in person!
Even Pelle didn't expect the other party to say this. He was stunned for a moment, looked around, and saw the complicated gazes of his teammates. This made him feel a little embarrassed, so he put it on viciously: "Ahh! I can't wait! Let's see if you can take my place!"
Someone was not interested in watching the fun and ran into another center, Berttani. Berttani quickly waved his hand, which seemed to be "When a second guy is offending, don't pull me in"...
Palonbo never expected that Pelle and Icardi would be so inconsistent. As far as he knew, the two had no contact before, and they should not even know each other.
He turned his helping eyes to Gao Zheng. The only thing he is sure of is that whether it is Pelle or Icardi, he has a good relationship with Gao Zheng...
Only then did Gao Zheng come back to his senses from the sudden conflict. He really didn't expect that Pelle would stand up for him and completely caught him off guard.
Seeing that the two of them were about to be bullied, Gao Zheng rushed up and separated them: "Hey, hey, misunderstanding..." He turned his head and said to Pelle, "Mauro and I met each other in the reserve team, it was friends..."
But Icardi was not grateful: "You are my opponent!"
Pelle immediately shouted, "Hey, what's your attitude!"
"What does my attitude have to do with you?" Icardi was not showing any weakness.
"Why doesn't it matter? Gao is the person I, Pelle, admires the most in the team. If you don't respect him, you don't respect me!"
"idiot……"
"Bastard, who are you talking about?"
The two of them started to fight through Gao Zheng.
No matter how Gao Zheng persuaded him, it was useless. When the other teammates saw that the matter was going to make a big deal, they all came up to persuade him, but this did not stop the hostile behavior of the two.
In the end, Gao Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "I don't care! Whatever you love!"
After shouting, he returned to his position and really stopped caring about the two of them.
His move caused a silence in the locker room, and the quarrels and persuasions disappeared.
Everyone was a little confused. This was the first time they saw Gao Zheng getting angry. The Chinese people gave them the impression that they always had a smile on their faces, and all kinds of smiles seemed to be his signature label. Even when faced with Atzori's unfair treatment, he had a smile on his face, just a sarcastic or disdainful smile...
I didn't expect that he would lose his temper so directly.
After Gao Zheng walked back, Pelle and Icardi, who were already in a desperate situation, faced each other and looked at each other.
However, they did not continue to argue, but instead snorted at each other, then went to Icardi to continue packing his things, while Pelle turned around and walked back to his seat.
The others were stunned and didn't expect that the scene that was originally chaotic ended like this...
Captain Palonbo looked at Gao Zheng, then at Icardi and Pelle. They were all busy with their own affairs, as if nothing had happened before.
As the captain, he was a little confused about the young people now.

"Icardi from the reserve team is very hard-working in training." During the training interval, assistant coach Carillo told head coach Yacini about his observations in training just now.
"I noticed that Pelle was also very active in training today." Yacini said his observation.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
"No matter whether Icardi can play or not, he has played a role on the first day he has come to the first team."
In the speculation of Yacini and Carillo, Icardi and Pelle are both forwards, with similar positions, so there will definitely be a competitive relationship.
Although Pelle is now the main striker, Icardi also performed very well in the reserve team. This Argentine genius may not be so easy to live under others. So when he comes to the first team to train on the first day of his training, he will definitely try his best to prove his ability in front of the coach.
And Pelle naturally felt the threat shown by Icardi, so he worked so hard in training...
Well, that must be the case.
The two coaches believed in their judgment.
※※※
Palonbo thought about it and felt that the contradiction between Icardi and Pelle would become an instability factor within the team. At the most critical moment when the team sprinted to upgrade their goals, any instability factor could lead to a failure of everyone's efforts in a season.
As the captain, he has to be responsible for eliminating this risk in the bud.
Although Gao Zheng got angry in the locker room, he felt that he would have to rely on Gao Zheng to solve this problem.
So he planned to have a good talk with Gao Zheng, so that he could suppress his anger and persuade the two people with the overall situation first.
But just when he was planning to do this, he saw that during lunch, Gao Zheng brought Pelle and Icardi to the table...
"I never feel that my friend a and my friend b can become friends. Everyone is independent and has different thoughts and feelings. No matter how you fight off the court, I don't care. But I hope it won't affect my performance on the court. Now there are still five rounds of leagues before the end of the regular season. Whether we can successfully participate in the upgrade play-offs depends on the last five rounds of games. I don't want to stay in the second division after working hard for a season."
Gao Zheng said it very seriously.
Neither Pelle nor Icardi said anything.
"Okay, let's have a meal!" Gao Zheng clapped his hands and started eating.
Pelle and Icardi, who were sitting next to him, looked at each other, and then they were competing in training, almost at the same time, starting to lower their heads and eat, as if they were behind and losing to the other party.
