Chapter Fifteen Actually Still Reluctant

"... Yesterday afternoon, Atletico Madrid Club held a grand welcome ceremony for the newly joined team Gao at their home court Calderon Stadium. According to official reports, nearly 40,000 fans came to the scene... Although Gao scored three of them in this stadium last season, Atletico Madrid fans easily accepted him. When Atletico Madrid and Gao were rumored to have a transfer scandal, local media conducted street interviews, and nearly 70% of Atletico Madrid fans welcomed Gao to join the team... This may indicate that Gao's hat trick has conquered Atletico Madrid fans..."

Porata pointed to the TV screen in the store and said loudly: "Isn't this nonsense? Gao was completely convinced and went there!"

On the TV screen is the scene where Gao Zheng appears at Calderon Stadium wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey.

It can be seen from the live footage that the Calderon Stadium, which can accommodate 54,000 fans, was almost full.

In fact, with Gao Zheng's appeal, he shouldn't have such a spectacular scene.

If Gao Zheng had not played against Atletico Madrid last season, Atletico Madrid fans might be more indifferent to his arrival, and Madrid's media might pretend to be superior and ask "Who is Gao?"

But that game last season was Gao Zheng's best identity, and Atletico Madrid fans also have the most intuitive impression of how powerful this new player is.

So many people welcome him fully demonstrate how high expectations the Atletico Madrid fans have given to Gao Zheng. After losing the Champions League final, the team really needs such a big transfer to boost morale.

"... neither Sampdoria nor Atletico Madrid disclosed the specific transfer amount, but according to the report of the Transfer Market website, Atletico Madrid spent about 75 million euros to take the European Golden Boot away from Sampdoria. The high transfer fee also set a new record for Atletico Madrid's previous transfer fee. The most expensive player Atletico Madrid bought before this was Colombian scorer Falcao. He spent 40 million euros when he joined the "Bedding Legion" in 2011..."

"It is said that Atletico Madrid cannot afford so much money at once this time. In the end, a mysterious company from China solved the financial difficulties for Atletico Madrid. Although Gao successfully joined Atletico Madrid, such operations also brought a series of problems. Spanish media are already discussing whether Chinese strikers can withstand all the pressure brought by sky-high transfer fees after coming to Atletico Madrid with such exaggerated transfer fees... After all, Atletico Madrid and Sampdoria in the small town of Genoa have received completely different attention..."

"What are you talking nonsense?! Sampdoria only bought 75 million yuan, which is already a cheaper one! It's worth 100 million yuan!" Polata shouted, waving his fists at the screen of the TV.

"Dad..." the son next to him called helplessly. Fortunately, there were no customers in the store at this time, otherwise the business would not be done. Those who came would be scared away by such an excited father.

Porata ignored her son and continued to stare at the TV screen intently.

Gao Zheng is giving a simple comment to the Atletico Madrid fans all over the game: "...I am very happy to be able to join Atletico Madrid. Being here is a brand new adventure for me, and I will give my all!"

Hearing Gao Zheng say this, his son was very happy: "He didn't say anything like 'I've been an Atletico Madrid fan since I was a child'' My biggest dream is to play for Atletico Madrid, and now my dream has come true'! He still has feelings for Sampdoria in his heart!"

But Porata glared at him: "I would rather say that, stupid! You have to figure out that he is facing the fans of Atletico Madrid now. He doesn't have to care about what we Sampdoria fans think. He just needs to please Atletico Madrid fans! And he speaks Italian!"

The son was very strange: "Is there anything wrong with Italian?"

Porata said to his silly son in a tone of disgrace: "Of course not! Even if he can't speak Spanish proficiently, even if he memorizes, even if he has an accent, even if he stumbling, on this occasion, Gao should also say this in Spanish! In Italian or Spanish, this is a very important question, which shows whether Gao attaches importance to Atletico Madrid fans. If he can get the fans welcome, he will be much smoother in that new environment, otherwise..."

Porata, who stood watching TV with her arms wrapped around her chest, looked like a coach, and she was very particular about Gao Zheng's approach. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with Gao Zheng's approach.

"Dad, everyone else is reluctant to leave Gao, why do you look like you are almost an Atletico Madrid fan now?"

"Because I am the one who really considers the high school! I hope he lives well there, and I don't want him to have the day he will come back, which means he is not doing well outside... After so many years, Sampdoria has finally gone out to be a superstar, of course, he has to get better and better! But that idiot, he won't please people at all..."

Porata looked at Gao Zheng on the screen. The latter had just finished his speech, but the response at the scene was not as enthusiastic as Porata hoped. This may be related to what Gao Zheng spoke Italian. Many Atletico Madrid fans may not have heard clearly what he said. Although Italian and Spanish are somewhat similar, it does not mean that both sides can communicate without any barriers.

In Polata's opinion, the applause and cheers at the scene were more out of politeness, and part of them was the aftermath of Gao Zheng's hat trick.

If Gao Zheng does not adapt well in the new environment and performs poorly on the field, many problems may follow...

Seeing his father frowning, the son said in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong with you today?"

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't you the old man who is most confident in Gao in the past? Why are you now starting to worry that Gao will not perform well at Atletico Madrid? You even hope that he can lower his posture and deliberately please Atletico Madrid fans? To be honest, as a Sampdoria fan, I must feel uncomfortable when I see our hero nodding and bowing to Atletico Madrid fans and flattering me... "

Polata wanted to reflexively scold his stupid son, but his mouth opened but stood there because he found that his son was right.

The whole world can suspect that Gao Zheng cannot adapt to the new environment, but he cannot.

The whole world can question that the sky-high price is a huge burden on Gao Zheng, but he cannot.

The whole world is not optimistic about Gao Zheng's future at Atletico Madrid, but he can't.

Because he is the person in this world who is most confident and least worried about Gao Zheng!

Why did he act so abnormal today that even his stupid son could see it?

Porata looked up at Gao Zheng on the TV screen, and he still had a familiar and kind smile on his face, as if he was standing in front of him and said to him: "Hi, boss, four kilograms of cheese, Focaccia."

But he was wearing a blue and white Sampdoria jersey, but was replaced by a red and white striped shirt from Atletico Madrid.

This made him feel dazzling and the illusion collapsed.

No matter how many times I say I hope he will leave, I hope he will succeed outside and not come back... But deep down I still can't bear to leave him!

The new Serie A season is about to start in more than a month. He will still go to the Malasi Stadium to watch the game, but he will lose expectations because the familiar figure is no longer there.
