Tomorrow is the day to register for the team. Gao Zheng sent a text message to ask Alberto Masi if he would go to the training base together tomorrow.

As a result, Masi did not reply to his text message, but called.

"Big Demon, have you entered the first team's training roster?" On the phone, Alberto Masi asked Gao Zheng this question.

"I've entered."

"That's great!" Masi said excitedly from the other end of the phone, "I knew, I knew you would definitely go to the first team!"

"We can play football together in the first team next season, Alberto." Gao Zheng was infected by Masi's excitement and said happily.

"Ah, sorry, the big devil. I didn't make it to the first team training list..."

"Eh?" Gao Zheng was a little surprised. He thought Masi's performance was also very good. Sampdoria's final victory was inseparable from the outstanding performance of the defense.

However, he didn't know the idea of ​​the first team coaching team, so he couldn't guess casually.

He remembered that Masi seemed to be born in 1992, one year younger than him, and he was over the age of his age and could not continue to stay in the reserve team, but Masi could play in the reserve team for another season, so he comforted: "Ah... Then keep working hard in the reserve team, Alberto, I'm waiting for you in the first team..."

"But I don't want to stay in the reserve team anymore." Masi sighed.

"Why?"

“I want to go out and work out, like I did before in Lavagnes.”

Alberto Massi was loaned to Lavagnes by the club in the 2009-2010 season and played in the D Division.

He was transferred to the reserve team just after returning to the club last season.

He must have wanted to repeat this operation, to go to a first team that is not of high level but can play in the game, to temper himself and improve himself in the formal competition.

Then return to Sampdoria and realize your ideal.

"Then I wish you good luck, Alberto." Facing Masi, who had already made the decision, Gao Zheng had nothing to say.

"Thank you, the Great Devil, I will cheer you up too!"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Zheng was a little depressed.

In his opinion, Masi's performance in the reserve team is actually very good. After the team is transferred to Class B, many original players will definitely leave. This is the time to use people. If his echelon can cultivate excellent players, why can't these young people be given some opportunities?

On the day of registration, Gao Zheng jogged alone and climbed up the hillside and entered the Mugnaini training base. He saw Mauro Icardi at a glance.

"Did Barcelona rent you to Sampdoria for two seasons?" he asked curiously.

Gao Zheng's words made Icardi roll his eyes: "I'm here to transfer!"

Because of his outstanding performance last season, before the season ended, Sampdoria Club was discussing Icardi's buyout with Barcelona Club.

Because Icardi's football style is really incompatible with Barcelona, ​​even if Icardi performed well in the Sampdoria reserve team, Barcelona did not intend to keep him. In addition, Icardi himself has a strong desire to go to Sampdoria, so Barcelona did not make any embarrassment on such young players they looked down upon.

It was easy to negotiate the terms of the transfer with Sampdoria.

Just after last season, Icardi had signed a name on a personal contract provided by Sampdoria Club.

"Oh, that's great news."

"You've already gone to the first team, right?" Icardi asked staring at Gao Zheng.

"yes."

A smile slowly appeared on Icardi's face: "I have been transferred to the first team, too."

Gao Zheng shrugged, he was not surprised by this.

Masi was not transferred to the first team, and there might be some reasons he didn't know. But if Icardi didn't join the first team, then the new head coach of Sampdoria's first team must have been in his mind.

"Okay, let's cheer together on the first team."

"I will defeat you!" Icardi was full of fighting spirit.

Seeing Icardi who was still second in the middle, Gao Zheng smiled. Masi was not able to enter the first team training list. He had already left the reserve team. In Icardi, he could still feel the feeling of everyone fighting in the reserve team together.

※※※

The one who greets Gao Zheng and Icardi is the first team captain Angelo Palonbo.

He smiled brightly at the two young men who grew up from the echelon: "I heard about the good things you did in the reserve team. That was our only comfort last season."

"Thank you for the compliment of the captain." Gao Zheng said with his head scratching.

"Although the team has been relegated, there are two talented young people at the same time. I don't think we will stay in the second division for too long." Palonbo patted Gao Zheng and Icardi on the shoulders, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet new teammates, and everyone is easy to get along with."

※※※

The first team locker room is more spacious and has more facilities than the reserve team locker room, but it is not luxurious.

Despite this, this is also the place that almost every reserve player dreams of.

"There are not all people yet. I will introduce you to anyone who has not come. Now let's introduce you to me first." Palonbo said to Gao Zheng and Icardi.

Of course, the two of them had no objection at all.

Palonbo led them to the players in the locker room one by one. Some of the players introduced would respond enthusiastically to Gao Zheng and Icardi, while others would be more indifferent and nodded even if they said hello.

After the introduction, Palonbo naturally wanted to allocate a locker for Gao Zheng and Icardi.

"Sorry, the team has changed a lot in personnel now, uh a bit messy..." Palonbo looked around in the locker room, then stopped in front of a closet, "Marius has already transferred to Lazio, um, you can use his cabinet, right?"

"I can do it, no problem, captain."

After saying that, Gao Zheng saw Palonbo reach out and tear off the famous brand "Marius Stankovius" posted on the cabinet.

Palonbo then looked around and found that the cabinet was next to Stefano Lukini, so he shouted: "I remember Lukini went to Atlanta, just next to each other, you two can get together."

As he said that, he reached out to tear Lukini's name off the top of the cabinet.

"Okay, let's give you these two cabinets. I hope you can stay in the first team. The team needs fresh blood like you now. If you have anything, you can find me. If I'm not here, you can also find Daniel, who is also the captain."

Daniel Gastadro waved to Gao Zheng and Icardi: "That's right, you can find me."

After the explanation, Palonbo did not return to his position, but began to circle around the locker room. He would stop in front of every cabinet and think for a while. Then he either shook his head and walked away, or he would tear off the names on the cabinet - those teammates who had already left the team.

Gao Zheng did not rush to change his clothes, but sat in front of his cabinet and stared at the captain's figure.

After the team was relegated last season, he heard fat boss Porata say that after the team lost the game against Palermo and confirmed the relegation, the captain went around the field and bowed to the Sampdoria fans for apologizing. He was the only person in Sampdoria who did that.

This summer, many people in the team are saying that they are leaving. After the team is relegated, it is understandable that those who want to leave are willing to leave. After all, people have to consider their wallets and national team qualifications. To go to a team that can get into the top league is of course better than staying in Sampdoria to play in the second division.

But Palonbo repeatedly emphasized that he would not leave, he would stay.

That's what he said and did it.

You should know that after the team was confirmed to be relegated, the most popular players in the transfer market are the young Andrea Poly and captain Palonbo.

If he wants to leave, the Serie A giants are willing to fill out a check sheet for him.

But he didn't leave, and he chose to stay, even if he cut his salary and earned a lot of money, he might even lose his position in the national team completely.

This is a captain who loves his team deeply.

PS, as I expected, France defeated Belgium and entered the finals first.

I am more optimistic about England in today's game.

Croatia played two consecutive penalty shootouts, and many players were injured in the game against the hosts, and they were exhausted.

It is really hard to pose any threat to England, which is waiting for it.

After all, this is not a YY novel. I tried my best to lay the groundwork and finally made a big reversal.
Chapter completed!
