Chapter 49 Free Focaccia
When Gao Zheng came to the "Sailor's House" to buy Focacha again, the fat boss laughed when he saw him: "It's still four kilograms of cheese Focacha this time?"
Gao Zheng nodded: "Yes, boss."
Porata prepared bread for him and handed Gao Zheng the paper bag containing the bread, but did not receive the money handed over by Gao Zheng.
"?" Gao Zheng was a little strange.
Porata smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the Chinese boy who often comes to me to buy Fokacha turned out to be a star player of the Sampdoria reserve team."
Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Boss, how do you know?"
He did not deny it.
Porata took out the newspaper, pointed to the person interviewed in the photo and said, "Is this you, Gao?"
Gao Zheng took a look and it was the 19th Century Newspaper: "It turned out that the newspaper was really reported..."
"Of course I have to report that this is a lighthouse derby. Even the reserve team's lighthouse derby is also a lighthouse derby!"
After saying that, Porata turned around and shouted into the kitchen: "Franco!"
His son came out of it and still held a rolling pin in his hand: "What are you doing, Dad?"
"Put down that thing, wash your hands, and take a photo of me and Gao!" Porata pulled out a small card machine from the drawer.
When his son washed his hands and faced the two with his camera in front of the two, Porata happily hugged Gao Zheng, and Gao Zheng was holding his paper bag in his arms, which contained the trademark "Sailor's House" printed on it.
"I took a photo, one, two, three... OK!"
"Shot two more!"
Franco Polata pressed the shutter a few more times before handing the camera to his father.
"I want to print out the photos and frame them and hang them on the wall." Porata looked at the playback in the camera and said to Gao Zheng, "Don't you mind, Gao?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Gao Zheng waved his hands repeatedly, and then he wanted to give the money to the other party.
Porata still refused to accept it: "This is the reward I paid you, it's high."
"Reward?" Gao Zheng did not react.
"I'm using you to call my store to make a small advertisement. I should pay you...but I'm also a small business manager. So in the future, you don't have to pay for bread when you come to my store to buy bread."
Gao Zheng didn't expect that there would be such a good thing... He had originally thought about telling the Sampdoria fan boss whether he would give him a discount when buying bread, but he didn't expect that he would eat it for free now!
He didn't care that the reward he should receive when advertising people should be much more than eating bread for free, and nodded quickly: "Thank you, the boss!"
"I want to thank you, Gao. I went to watch your game against Cesena. That goal was so beautiful!"
Gao Zheng was a little surprised: "Hey, was the boss in the stands at that time?"
Porata smiled: "Of course I'm here, and I've made a new friend, who is also your fan!"
Gao Zheng scratched his head: "I really didn't expect that I would have fans..."
"Isn't it normal to have fans? It's wrong to have such a good performance without fans!"
"There will be pressure in the competition in the future. When you think about the free boss, you can't play so much bread, otherwise you won't have to eat it..."
Gao Zheng laughed at Porata after saying something, and he laughed: "Don't worry, even if you kick it smells bad, you still have bread to eat! Didn't you say that? The more you perform poorly, the more you need support."
"Yes, yes, then I'll thank the boss."
When Gao Zheng left with the bread in his arms, his son frowned and said to his father: "I always feel like I'm losing money by letting him eat bread for free, Dad. You know he buys a lot every time, and he finishes it soon..."
"What's the loss? You know nothing!" Porata didn't have the kind attitude towards his son to Gao Zheng, and he scolded. "That Chinese boy will definitely be limitless in the future. He just let him eat bread for free, and he can get a photo of his car with our products. Where can you go to find such a good thing? When he becomes famous in the future, he may not be able to get 500,000 yuan for him to advertise this to us!"
"Is it so...awesome?" The scolded son was surprised.
"So you know nothing! You're going around in the kitchen all day long, your mind is about to turn into bread." Porata snorted.
My son was very aggrieved: "Didn't you let me concentrate on making bread in the kitchen..."
"Go and go! Get back quickly!" Porata was speechless at his stupid son, and raised his hand and bombed him back.
Then he continued to look at the photos alone, trying to select one from it with the most perfect expressions and postures of him and Gao Zheng, and take them out and print them.
"This one doesn't work, I blinked. This one didn't blink, but the expression was a bit strange... Hey, this one is good, this one is good, this one is good!"
The fat boss was holding a small card machine alone and laughed like a child of two hundred pounds.

Training and competition, come to "Sailors' House" to buy Focacha, and then chat with the fat boss for a few words, and learn from him the current bad situation of Sampdoria's first team - this is Gao Zheng's current life.
It's a bit monotonous, but not boring.
On the contrary, for Gao Zheng, who has been away from professional football for more than a year, he feels that his life is very fulfilling now, which is much more fulfilling than helping with the old man’s football training class and then playing wild football.
He started practicing football at the age of six and came to AC Milan youth training camp for professional football training at the age of fifteen. He had long been used to the days of being with football. The year he left professional football training was the year he was most unacceptable.
Now he can receive regular football training every day and play with his high-level teammates and opponents. He feels at ease and at ease.
He suddenly remembered Lao Zhao. When he left the team due to injury, he was facing a society that was changing with each passing day and became even more unfamiliar every day. The skills he learned over the past decade did not help him find a job that could support his family. Do you have the same confusion and pain as himself?
And I am indeed much luckier than Lao Zhao.

Time flies. At the end of April, the Reserve Team Group A game ended, Sampdoria finished fifth in the regular season, and they qualified for the playoffs.
Their city rival, Genoa Reserve, won the first place - losing to Sampdoria Reserve, did not slow them down from the top. They ranked first with a high score of 59 points, while the second-place Juventus Reserve was five points less than them.
The difference between the first and fifth places is that the top two and the top two in the other two groups can directly participate in the playoff quarterfinals, while the teams from the third to fifth places must first play two rounds of qualifying matches with the other two groups of qualifying teams, and determine the last two places to participate in the quarterfinals.
Because the Sampdoria reserve team's performance fluctuated so much in the first half of the season, although it was fifth in the end, Bruno was also very satisfied. You should know that they might not even get the fifth place.
Compared with the performance of the reserve team, Sampdoria's first team's performance is "simply desperate" in the words of fat boss Porata.
Starting from the 26th round of the league, Sampdoria either lost or tied in the league. It was not until the 34th round of the league that they defeated Barry 1-0 away, ending the downward trend of eight consecutive rounds of unwinding.
At this time, Sampdoria had already slipped to the 17th place in the league, and had 35 points with Lecce at the 18th place. In the next four rounds of the league, they were not allowed to lose a single point, otherwise they might go to the second division.
In these four rounds of the league, Sampdoria has another game against Genoa.
That's the real "beacon derby".

PS, in general, the three games were quite dull and the scores were the same.
In the last game between Spain and Iran, I really didn't expect Spain to perform well, and Iran deserves a draw. However, that ball was indeed offside.
Even if there is no video referee, the lineman has raised his flag to signal offside at the moment of scoring, so the video referee cannot be blamed on this matter.
This failure also made Iran definitely fight to the death of Portugal in the last game, which is definitely not good news for Portugal. After watching the game between Iran and Spain, I think that if Portugal plays against Morocco, they will most likely lose to Iran...
In addition, everyone is welcome to follow my official account: linhaitingtao11 (Linhaitingtao Pavilion). Today I shared an article briefly introducing the Mugnaini training base and the small town of Boriasco where Gao Zheng is located. Through satellite pictures, you can help you understand this place intuitively.
Denmark and Australia don’t plan to watch the game tonight, so they won’t guess the score.
There should be no suspense in France's play against Peru, but considering that the popular teams have not performed well recently, I guess the French team should have beaten Peru with one goal.
In the match between Argentina and Croatia, I am still optimistic about Argentina winning. After all, if I don’t win, I will be in qualifying...
Argentina should be able to beat Croatia two goals!
In addition, yesterday's update mentioned the full name of the big fat fan, Clariant Moretti, which was mentioned a long time ago, but it seemed that people noticed yesterday that this name is the same as the protagonist of the new book "The Lord of Mysterious", which is a diving book. It is just a difference of one word. He is Crane, and I am Clariant.
That's right, this name is based on the new book of Squid, so here I will recommend a new book "The Lord of the Secret", "The Lord of the Secret", to you. This is really the type I like. Squid completely wrote about the sense of the times around the UK's first industrial revolution in "The Lord of the Secret" - yes, the background of his book was actually at that time, but it added a lot of mysterious elements.
Chapter completed!
