Sampdoria's relegation also affected the training of the reserve team.

Gao Zheng could clearly feel the depression of his teammates in the locker room.

Especially those Genoa teammates who are born and raised, such as Alberto Masi.

He seemed very depressed and seemed absent-minded during yesterday's training.

However, for well-known reasons, players who were not focused on training, including Alberto Massi, did not receive criticism and punishment from the coaches.

When Sampdoria suffered this, everyone was qualified to be depressed.

But Gao Zheng doesn't think so.

Especially after seeing the "walking dead" on the streets.

Fans can express their emotions unscrupulously, and they can lose their minds when the team encounters relegation.

It is because they can’t do anything except express their emotions. They cannot play football on the court and help the team succeed in relegation.

This is also the reason why players cannot vent their emotions unscrupulously, because players do not do anything except vent their emotions.

It is simply a crime to continue fighting, but choose to complain about yourself.

So when Gao Zheng saw the lost Masi in the locker room, he patted his shoulder hard from behind: "Hi, Alberto, have you been heartbroken?"

Masi turned around and glared at him: "You know what I'm because of!"

"Why? Because we were downgraded?" Gao Zheng asked with a smile. He seemed to have no concern for this matter at all.

Massi looked at him and said nothing.

Gao Zheng said lightly: "That's a problem with the first team. What's the matter with our reserve team?"

I have to say that what Gao Zheng said in the locker room still sounds a bit "shocking", so he attracted everyone's attention.

In everyone's mind, whether it is the first team, the reserve team, the youth team, or the youth team, they are all affiliated with Sampdoria Football Club.

Everyone is a whole, prospering and losing.

So when they heard Gao Zheng say "What's the matter with our reserve team?", they were all surprised.

What Gao Zheng wants is the effect of everyone being attracted by him and listening to him attentively.

"Gao, I don't like you saying that." Alberto Masi rarely called Gao Zheng "the great devil", but called him his surname.

This is like parents usually call their child’s nickname, but if one day they suddenly call their child’s full name, it means that the child is in trouble.

Of course, Maxi is not Gao Zheng's father, but his words, in combination with his serious tone, can also make people hear his dissatisfaction.

Gao Zheng seemed to be completely unaware of it, with a calm expression and a calm tone: "Why don't you like it? Because I insulted Sampdoria? But it was not me who relegated the team. We are the reserve team, and we can't play relegation instead of the first team. What are you frustrated? Alberto? It's the first game of our playoffs. We finally came here. Are you planning to play one game and go home?"

Gao Zheng was stunned by Ma Xi's words, and also stunned everyone else in the locker room.

The opponent of Sampdoria reserve in the quarter-finals is Atlanta reserve. There are two clubs in Italy that are very good at cultivating young players, and the jerseys of these two clubs are blue and black, one is Inter Milan and the other is Atlanta.

For Sampdoria, this quarter-finals are definitely not easy.

There is really no time for them to complain about themselves here.

Gao Zheng patted Masi on the shoulder again, and this time he didn't work so hard: "Sampdoria's first team has been relegated, and the fans are much sadder than us. But if we can bring back a championship for them in the reserve team, I think maybe it can dilute their sadness a little."

Masi just nodded in a silence, but the others were startled: "You mean the champion?"

Gao Zheng turned his head and replied, "Yes, it's the champion. The champion in the reserve team competition."

"The last time we won the reserve team championship, it seems that it was the 2007-2008 season... it has been three years..."

"It's not long. Look, we have the ability to win the championship," Gao Zheng spread his hands. "So my goal is not a whimsical. But if we continue to be so confused, it would be a whimsical to win the championship."

Before the team started training, Bruni told his assistant Casilio: "From today on, we need to strengthen discipline. We can't let the team be affected endlessly by first-team relegation. They are them, we are us. They are finished, but we are not yet!"

His expression was serious, and Casilio nodded as well.

"Anyone who is absent-minded in the training center, I will be punished no matter what his reason is."

"Okay." Casillao said.

But when Bronney came to the training ground with murderous intent and was about to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, he was surprised to find that the players' performance was different from yesterday.

He could see this just from the preparations before training.

The players are more focused than yesterday.

"It's so strange..." he murmured to himself, a little disappointed--it was impossible to find an excuse to deal with these stinky brats.

It was not until the training interval that Casillaio found out the causes and consequences from a player.

"He said Gao was in the locker room and told them that because the first team was relegated, their reserve team should focus more on the current game and strive to win the reserve team championship." Casillao relayed the player's words to Bruno.

"Is it him?" Bruney stroked his chin, "I wasn't very surprised."

"But he said he wanted to win the reserve championship..."

"It's really like what he said. It's not impossible for us to win the reserve champion. Didn't we win three years ago?"

"But that team is completely different from now... No one in that championship team is still in our team." Casillao feels that winning a championship three years ago does not mean that Sampdoria is now capable of winning the championship.

The personnel flow of reserve teams is much more intense than that of first-teams. Not only players, but also coaches change very quickly. Therefore, there is no "tradition" for reserve teams.

"Alfredo, do you think that with Gao and Icardi, we will be weaker than three years ago?" When Casillaio opened his mouth to answer, Bruni added: "Before you answer this question, please think carefully about how we reached the main game."

Casillao shut up.

The first round of AC Milan was Gao Zheng.

At that time, everyone thought it was already good for the team to pass the first round. After all, they played stumblingly in the regular season and they did not qualify for the playoffs until the end.

In the second round, facing the Catania reserve team, Icardi broke out this time.

He scored twice, helping the team eliminated the Catania reserve team 3-1.

In this way, the Sampdoria reserve team was not favored by others and broke into the main competition.

"We have two superstars who have surpassed the reserve level, why can't we win the championship?"

Bruno's rhetorical questioning made Casillao in deep thought.

PS, there is no competition tonight, so today's X**C event is suspended for one period.

Everyone can also have a good sleep and make up for it. Tomorrow night, we will watch the match between France and Argentina, Uruguay and Portugal.

In addition, I posted a game video I made myself on the official account, edited the characters of Chinese players in all my novels in FIFA17, and then turned them into a video, the strongest Chinese team in history.

Everyone is welcome to see it. This is the first time I have shown the characters I wrote through images.
