Sampdoria club sports manager Doriano Tossi and reserve coach Luciano Bruni waited outside the building of the training base to the person they had been waiting for, a handsome young man.

Tosi first extended his hand to the young man: "Good morning, Mauro."

"Good morning, Mr. Manager."

Then Bruno shook hands with him.

Young people are still a little vain in allowing the club's sports manager and reserve coach to greet each other in person at the door - this fully demonstrates that the other party attaches importance to themselves and is the person they need.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

The Sampdoria Club's optimism about him has been around for a day or two. They have been observing him for a long time, and then some time ago, they reached an agreement with their Barcelona club and rented him over.

He himself was not willing to stay in Barcelona, ​​where he knew very well that he could not make a name for himself. So he was eager to change his environment and maybe he could still play it out?

"Sampdoria welcomes you, Groiano Mugnaini Sports Center welcomes you, Mauro, and hope you can have a pleasant half-season here," Tosi said.

The young man's translator translated this sentence to him.

"I hope so too, Mr. Manager." He answered Tosy slowly but clearly in Italian, the second Italian sentence he said after meeting with the manager.

Tosi was surprised: "Have you started learning Italian?"

"It only started yesterday, but fortunately there are many similarities between Italian and Spanish." The young man passed this sentence to the sports manager through translation. He actually didn't speak much Italian.

But Tosi was very satisfied with the young man's attitude and nodded: "I believe you will succeed here. Let's go, we'll take you around and get to know where you will stay in the next half season."

After a lap, Tosey and Brunoy took the young man outside the reserve training ground, where some of the players who had arrived early were playing first, and they were playing the ball.

Then a football rolled over from the stadium.

"Sorry, please... coach?" The person on the court waved to ask for the ball. Unexpectedly, it was the head coach. Then he saw the sports manager next to the head coach.

What's the situation?

He was a little surprised that the club sports manager would not come to the reserve team often...

The young man beside Tosi looked at the football that rolled in front of him, and suddenly wanted to show his abilities in front of his future teammates and the manager and coach. So he jumped up the football with his feet wearing casual shoes, and then began to thrust the ball, feet, thighs, chest, shoulders, and he also let the football stay on his forehead for a short while.

As a young man from Barcelona La Macia's youth training camp, he still has a strong sense of superiority in the youth training camp of Sampdoria, a second-rate Serie A team, as if he was from a big city to the countryside.

Sampdoria's first team is not strong in Serie A today. Although it won fourth place in the league last season, it is almost time to fight for relegation this season.

Sampdoria's youth training is not very famous in Italy and is not worth mentioning.

The sports manager and the reserve team head coach personally welcomed him, which further pushed up his sense of superiority and made him unable to help but show his skills in front of these "country buns".

After fully demonstrating his control over football, the young man felt that he should have attracted everyone's attention to him. He then picked up the football again. When the football fell to the right height, he swung his kick and pulled the football in the air back to the stadium.

This is a powerful and heavy shot. It is not polite to pay back the ball in this way. The young man may not take his future teammates seriously. Who told him that he was from Lamacia?

The Sampdoria reserve player who raised his hand to ask for the ball obviously did not expect that this inexplicable person would kick the football back in this way. He was even thinking about what this meant, and he was stunned and did not prepare for the ball.

At this moment, a long leg suddenly stretched out from the road and stopped the whistling football.

The football hit his feet, but it did not make any dull sound, and then bounced out from a distance.

In fact, football is like sticking to that foot.

After receiving the ball, the person who intercepted the ball turned back, and the ball foot swung backward along the football trend, removing the power of the football completely. When his feet were put back on the ground, the football rolled down from the surface.

The powerful and heavy volley was taken down by the owner of this foot.

Then he raised his hand and waved at the young man outside the field, smiling and saying in Italian: "Thank you."

※※※

The young man really didn't expect that the ball he shot with strong force would be resolved by the opponent in this way. He believed that even if the first team player came, it would be very difficult to stop like this in the same situation and not everyone could do it.

But the other party was so relaxed and freehand that there was no change in expression on his face when he stopped the ball.

He couldn't help asking, "Who is he?"

Sports manager Tosey didn't know who this person was, so he turned his attention to Bruno, the reserve coach who had been by the side and didn't talk much.

Bruney replied with a smile on his face and in a casual tone: "You said he is Gao Zheng, he is here to try out."

After hearing the translator say this, Icardi looked at the head coach in surprise: "Trial?"

Tosi was also surprised: "Trial? Why don't I know?"

Bruney nodded: "Well, I came here the day before yesterday and was still in the inspection period, so I didn't tell you."

Young people who came to this coastal town from the big city of Barcelona began to doubt their lives - a trial trainer could take his own ball so easily? Did he get something wrong?

How could Luciano Bruni not know what the young man was thinking under his surprised expression, but he stopped talking, just carried his hands on his back and looked at Gao Zheng who was surrounded by his teammates again in the court with a smile.

Sports manager Doriano Tossi also turned his interested eyes to Gao Zheng.

※※※

Alberto Masi was the first to rush up to express his admiration to Gao Zheng: "It's worthy of being the Great Devil! This ball stopped so well!"

David Leto even exaggerated: "You saved my life!"

He was the one who asked the ball outside the court just now, and he was the one who almost got hit by the ball. If Gao Zheng hadn't provided a "foot" to help him, he would have been hit hard by the ball, which would have felt bad.

On the one hand, the others were due to the ability shown by Gao Zheng, and on the other hand, they also came from the common hatred of the inexplicable young man. Although Gao Zheng was a person who came to try out, he had been training with them for two days. Compared with the person on the sidelines, he was more familiar with everyone, and of course he was regarded as "his own person" by the team members.

"What did that kid come here for? Did he smash the situation?"

"That's right, who is that kid? I'll let the coach accompany him..."

"I think that kid is showing off in front of us. Demon King, you did a great job this time! Did you see the surprised expression on the silly kid's face? He was obviously scared by your stop! Ha! It's so good!"

"Devil King, you said thank you to him just now? You don't need to be polite to such people!"

"That's right, I don't know where it came out..."

Everyone began to guess the origin and identity of this person.

And they didn't have a long doubt. Before the training officially began, head coach Bruno made the answer public.

"I'll tell you about your new teammates, forward Mauro Icardi who is loaned from Barcelona's youth training camp Lamacia, will play side by side with us in the next half season. I hope everyone can get along happily."

When the reserve team heard the words "Barcelona" and "La Macia", they could not control their expressions - whether it was the adult team or the youth training camp, they were all wealthy families!

No wonder this person dares to do such a thing as soon as he comes, no wonder the sports manager and the head coach have to accompany him in person...
