Chapter 2 The second Cristiano Ronaldo

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sampdoria won a free-kick...... Hurry! Godin fouls! Godin could only use a foul to stop Sampdoria's quick free kick, although it was a foul, but it showed that Godin's concentration was very focused...... Gao Lai took the free-kick and this time there was no quick serve...... Oh!! Strike!! Strike! The high kick went directly around the human wall of Atletico Madrid and got into the dead corner of the goal! Courtois couldn't do anything about such a brilliant free-kick! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Pedro Obiang's long diagonal pass goes straight to the high ...... in front High...... High!! HIGH – GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Oh, my God! What a beautiful volley! High brace twice! He helped Sampdoria equalize again!! ”

"High dropback catches, Diego Costa comes up to interfere and is suspected of a foul...... But Gao didn't fall to the ground, and although he stumbled a little, he still controlled the football...... Strike! Beautiful, high wipe over Gabi! ”

"But Gao also brought football to a dead end!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Terrific! Gao flickered and moved in a very small space, dribbling out of the encirclement! He dribbled the ball in and shot at Godin...... No! It's a feint! He buckled the ball to the left...... Miranda came up to intercept and Gao raised his foot again to shoot...... It's another feint!! He didn't move in place, but he had already shaken down two Atletico Madrid central defenders! Now all that is left in front of him is goalkeeper Courtois! Gao finally shot at goal this time! But Courtois couldn't make the cut! The ball is in! Unbelievable! Incredible! Gao scored a hat-trick in the game! He almost single-handedly trampled the whole Atletico Madrid team under his feet! ”

The commentary on the TV still echoed in the conference room, and the screen was the picture of Gao Zheng running back with a football after scoring a goal.

Sanchez shifted his gaze from the TV screen to the two coaches present, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane: "What are your opinions? ”

Ancelotti didn't speak, but looked at Zidane first.

"He's an amazing genius." Zidane said. 'I think the club should sign him, the kind at all costs.'

Zidane's evaluation of Gao Zheng is very high, which is not surprising to Sanchez. Because the two of them had come to see Gao Zheng's training as early as when Atletico Madrid was training in Real Madrid Sports City.

Ancelotti nodded: "I approve of Zizou." ”

This is his consistent style, anyway, buying and selling people in Real Madrid is not his final say, he is like a chef, only responsible for stir-frying, but he can't decide what to fry, what the leader gives him what ingredients he does.

In fact, not to mention him as a manager, even Real Madrid's general manager Alexis Sanchez can't decide what to buy.

The one who can make the decision is not in this room.

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Sanchez nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pass it on to Mr. Perez." ”

Yes, the only person in the entire Real Madrid club who can make a decision on who buys and sells is the club's president, Florentino PΓ©rez.

β€»β€»β€»

After listening to Sanchez's report, Florentino Perez said: "I agree that our team should continue to strengthen and not slack off because we have won the 10th Champions League. But we already have Cristiano, Benzema and Bale up front......"

"Mr. President, shouldn't Real Madrid have the best players on their boards? Gao is clearly such a good player. As for how to arrange it after the purchase, isn't that the manager's problem? Sanchez advised.

Florentino laughed when he heard Sanchez say this, and then asked, "Is that Gao really as good as you say?" You know, when we buy a Chinese player, it's likely that we want to develop the Chinese market......"

"I assure you, Mr. President, that it has nothing to do with the Chinese market. Zizou assured me that he was the next Cristiano Ronaldo......"

Florentino was a little surprised: "Is it so high?" ”

"Mr. President, in his first Serie A season, Gao broke the single-season goal record since the creation of Serie A with 40 league goals. In the season that just ended, he was also the top scorer with 33 goals. At the same time, he was also the top scorer in the Coppa Italia with eight goals, five more than the second-place finisher, helping Sampdoria win the Coppa Italia. In his first appearance in the Champions League, he helped the underdogs Sampdoria reach the round of 16 and scored ten goals, tying for second place in the scorer list with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He has only played two and a half seasons in the professional league at Sampdoria and has already scored 114 goals for the team, which is amazing......"

Sanchez has obviously done his homework, and he knows Gao Zheng's performance well, and when needed, he is completely handy.

As he spoke, the expression on Florentino's face also showed signs of loosening.

"Okay. I would seriously consider this suggestion. ”

Although Florentino did not agree to Sanchez on the spot, in Sanchez's view, this is already a very positive sign.

When he introduced Gao Zheng just now, he exaggerated a little, Zidane did not say that Gao Zheng is a person who can be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo. But in order to get the chairman to make a decision, he had to exaggerate it like that. Sanchez himself doesn't know if Gao Zhen deserves such an evaluation.

If the club buys him in the end and finds out that he can't be a second Cristiano Ronaldo, then he can also say that there is only one Cristiano Ronaldo in the world. Besides, isn't it normal to look away in the transfer market?

Look at how many successors of Maradona came out before Messi?

So for telling this lie to himself, Sanchez has no psychological burden at all.

The World Cup is underway, the new season has not yet begun, but Sampdoria FC's general manager Sagramola is very busy.

He was busy dealing with his peers waving checks

Because of their performance in the Champions League last season, many players in the Sampdoria team have been favored by the transfer market.

The team's main goalkeeper Sergio Romero is also Argentina's main goalkeeper in this World Cup, conceding only one goal in the group stage to help Argentina qualify as the group leader.

He has now caught the attention of many teams, including Manchester United.

He has one year left on his contract with the club and given the current situation, the club's agent, Raiola, has informed Sampdoria that the player wants to put a break in negotiations on a contract extension – and it is clear that Romero wants to change places. With his impressive performances in the Champions League and the World Cup, he couldn't help but want to jump ship to a big club and get a big contract for himself.

Mustafi, a centre-back who played after Gasstadro's injury, was also selected by Loew for the German national team for the World Cup, where he came off the bench in both group games. He is also favored by many teams now, and Sampdoria may have to pay a big price if they want to keep him.

In addition to these players who have played in the World Cup, the other players who have not played in the World Cup, but their outstanding performances in the club are enough to make them favored by many big teams.

Like Kostic, like Obiang, like Alberto Masi......

But these are not the most important, the most important thing is Gao Zheng.

With last season's excellent performance on three fronts, the season is not over yet, and many people assert that it will be difficult for Sampdoria to stay tall this summer.

The situation now is indeed as those people say.

Although neither Gao Zheng nor his agent informed the club that the player planned to leave this summer, looking at the snowflakes of the faxes, Sagramola knew very well that the most difficult person to stay this summer was probably Gao Zheng......
