Icardi joined the training of Sampdoria reserve team. Although everyone was dissatisfied with his performance when he first came on the first day, he had to be convinced by Icardi's ability during training - he was worthy of coming out of the top youth training camp Lamacia, and his ability was indeed superior.

You should know that because of that incident at the beginning, everyone was not polite to Icardi during training, with fierce footing, and Broni had no intention of asking his players to take care of this newcomer.

But even so, after the first day of discomfort, Icardi performed better and better in the subsequent training and soon broke out from the others.

The football field is a place where strength is mentioned. No matter how good your personality and temper are, as long as you can exert your strength and be able to suppress others, you will have to be convinced if others don’t accept it.

But no one knows the reason behind Icardi's outstanding performance.

During the training interval, Icardi, who didn't speak Italian, seemed a little lonely, but he was unwilling to chat with others. He just stared at the trial student quietly.

He is chatting with his teammates.

"I went to check it out. That Icardi is quite famous." Masi said.

"Why is it not too small?" Everyone else was curious.

"It is said that he scored more than 500 goals in youth teams at all levels before he was fourteen! Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all rushing to ask for him..."

There was a sound of breathing in the crowd. Compared to them, that Icardi was indeed much better.

But if they can't compare, it doesn't mean that no one can compete with him... Someone turned his attention to Gao Zheng: "Gao, how many goals did you score before you were fourteen?"

Others also looked at him.

Gao Zheng didn't expect the topic to be induced to him. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's definitely not that much. Before I went to AC Milan at the age of fifteen, I had been training in domestic football schools and the number of games was limited."

"Damn it, it's absolutely incomparable..." someone complained in annoyance.

Gao Zheng laughed when he heard this: "What's the point of this?"

"I still think he is unhappy anyway..." Leto said angrily. The first time the two met, Icardi almost hit the ball on him with a strong shot. He had a full reason not to like this newcomer.

"Yeah, I can clearly feel that he looks down on us..."

"That's right, they all come from wealthy families. If you think it's high, you don't have that sense of superiority."

Gao Zheng smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he can understand Icardi's mentality. When he comes to a big club like Barcelona to a small team like Sampdoria, he will feel that the young people here are not as good as him... Most of the time, talented players who have developed smoothly will always be a little arrogant.

He also has arrogance, but after experiencing the experience of falling into the quagmire, he has learned to hide his arrogance, at least he is not as sharp as he was when he was proud of his youth training camp in Milan.

Thinking of this, Gao Zheng turned his head and looked at Icardi. To his surprise, the other party was also looking at him. After discovering his gaze, he did not look away, but looked at him naked.

This look was like the ball that got back...

Gao Zheng scratched his head and took the initiative to avoid looking at Icardi.

On the last day of Gao Zheng's trial at Sampdoria Preparatory Team, head coach Bruni announced that he would arrange an in-squad game in the afternoon.

For Gao Zheng, this is more like an entrance examination.

So Alberto Masi was always a little nervous before the game. He hoped that Gao Zheng could stay, but he couldn't make the decision. He didn't know what decision the coaching staff would make. This uncertainty made him feel a little worried about gains and losses.

Compared to him, Gao Zheng seemed much calmer.

This made Masi even more admire the "big devil".

"What's there to admire about this?" During lunch, Gao Zheng asked strangely after hearing Ma Xi express his admiration for him.

"This is a game that concerns you in the future. Even outsiders are nervous for you, but you... uh, you are so calm and composed."

Gao Zheng thought for a while and asked Masi: "Alberto, do you want to hear the story?"

"Ah? What's the story?" Masi didn't react yet.

"Stories about me, about why I came here."

"You're not injured..."

"It's not just because of injury." Gao Zheng then told Masi the story of leaving Milan and leaving Italy because of the conclusion of the Milan experiment, plus everything he experienced in Sassuolo.

After hearing this, Ma Xi couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He never expected that there would be such a tortuous story behind Gao Zheng.

"Your left foot...really..." Maxi turned his head and looked at Gao Zheng's left foot.

"Well. That's what Milan Laboratory said anyway."

"Then you..." Maxi wanted to speak but stopped. He thought of Gao Zheng's experience in Sassuolo. If he thought about it, it was really hard to say whether Gao Zheng could finally stay in Sampdoria.

After training with Gao Zheng for a few days, he was already impressed by Gao Zheng's talent. He believed that if Gao Zheng's talent could not be seen by more people and died halfway through, it would be too regretful. It was not Gao Zheng's regret, but Sampdoria's regret, and the regret of football.

"Of course, you don't have to worry, Alberto. I will do my best in the afternoon game." Gao Zheng saw Masi's thoughts and said. "Even if I was rejected, it wouldn't be because I didn't perform well enough."

"Luciano, I heard you arranged a team game in the afternoon?" In the reserve team's office, Luciano Bruni met sports manager Tossi again.

"You are so informed, Mr. Manager."

"You know, I attach great importance to the training of young players."

"You are here to see Icardi?"

“Not all.”

"Not all?" Brunoy was a little surprised.

"That guy who came to try out, I went back and checked. He had been trained in AC Milan and had won the best player in U16?"

"You are prepared, Doriano."

Tosy laughed.

"But the information you found must not tell you why he came to us."

"I heard he suffered a very serious injury once, but it doesn't matter. How many of the football players are not injured?"

"Do you know he was asserted by the Milan laboratory that he could not adapt to professional football?"

The smile on Tosi's face froze.

Then Bruni told him what Tosi didn't know, including how Gao Zheng went to Sassuolo to try out and how he was turned away by Sassuolo.

"...He performed very well in the trial, but Sassuolo still rejected him. For Sassuolo who is very careful, signing Gao Zheng has to take risks, and they are unwilling to take this risk."

Tosi stopped talking after hearing this.

Signing players is not just about training with the team. It also involves a lot of things. The team spends a lot of manpower and financial resources on each player, especially those very talented young people.

Tosi was quite happy at first, but he had two talented players, Icardi and Gao Zheng, and is Sampdoria working at the right time?
