Chapter 33: You have the final say
Luciano Bruni stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest and watched the team train.
Next to him stood Doliano Tosi, the sports manager who had just arrived.
"Mr. Manager, you are the sports manager of the club, not the sports manager of the reserve team." Bruni complained.
Tosi had a smile on his face: "Gao is now our young talent, and as the club's sports manager, isn't it natural for me to care about the growth of my club's talent?" ”
Then he leaned over to Bruni and whispered, "I heard he scored in yesterday's game?" ”
"You're so well informed. Well, the substitute came on and scored a goal. Speaking of this, Bruni wanted to shake his head - he just let him play casually, without giving him any tasks and without any big expectations, but he didn't expect Gao Zheng to bring him a goal, and his performance far exceeded his expectations.
This kid is really good at creating surprises......
"Huh." Tossi rubbed his hands together. "The next game is home, right?"
"Well, home, lighthouse derby."
Tossi turned his head to look at him, "Huh? It's true? ”
"Yes." Bruni gave him an affirmative answer.
"Then I'm going to watch this game even more!" Tossi looked excited.
Then neither of them spoke, looking at the players who were training on the field.
As the head coach of the reserve team, Bruni may have to take care of the whole game and not deliberately stay on one person for too long, but the sports manager has no such concerns, and Tosi's eyes are more on Gao Zheng, the lanky Chinese genius who is doing offensive training with his teammates.
He pulled out of the box and then took a pass from a team-mate and fired a shot at goal, and the ball went into the net.
Tosivi smiled and shook his head, thank God so much...... Such a genius was sent to us.
As for the reason for AC Milan to give up on him? Tosi didn't care, and the medical examination didn't reveal any injuries. You can't turn people away now because Gao Zheng may be injured in the future, or even seriously injured, right?
He's a sports manager who buys and sells people.
If he doesn't pick up this kind of big bargain, then he is not a competent sports manager.

Gao Zheng found that most of his teammates were fighting high spirits in training, which was rare in previous training.
He's weird about it.
It was Alberto Marcy who answered his question.
"Gao, you scored a goal in the last game, I think you will definitely play again in the next game, and maybe you will play a little more......" Alberto Massie said to Gao Zheng during the break between training.
Gao Zheng saw the excitement of other teammates in Marcy's body, he was very curious, so he simply asked Marcy to understand.
"Oh, that's what you say...... Because the next reserve game is a lighthouse derby! ”
"Lighthouse Derby?"
"Well, the match between us and Genoa is called the 'Lighthouse Derby.'" Alberto Marcy, a native of Genoa, explained to Gao Zheng. "Because the Lantern Tower is the symbol of our city of Genoa, our match with the 'Turkey' is called the 'Lighthouse Derby'."
"'Turkey'? Is it Genoa? ”
"yes, don't they have a 'turkey' in their benchmark?" Marcy said seriously.
Gao Zheng thought about it carefully: "The turkey doesn't look like that, does it?" ”
Marcy laughed, "Well, it's actually a griffin called 'Griffin', but Sampdoria supporters call it 'Turkey'." It's not a big deal, Genoese fans still call us 'bikers'. ”
Gao Zheng is familiar with this kind of insulting nickname for his rival in the same city, and when he played for AC Milan, he had similar emotions in the annual matches against the youth team of Inter Milan. He immediately understood why everyone had been so positive in training lately.
"I get the 'turkey', but what's the deal with the 'biker'? Isn't our nickname 'Sailor'? ”
"That's why Genoese fans don't know what to expect – they think only cyclists wear shirts with such bells and whistles. But I don't think our jerseys are fancy at all. Marcy pouted, his tone full of disdain for Genoa.
Then he said to Gao Zheng: "If you can play, it's great, we will have a big chance of winning!" We lost 3-2 away to them last October and we have to get our revenge this time! ”
Gao Zheng patted him: "Don't worry, we still have Icardi." ”
Marcy pouted when he heard this: "How many shots did he shoot in the last game?" How many goals have you scored? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to take the three points in that game! ”
His bad impression of Icardi is so ingrained that even though some in the squad have started to accept Icardi, he hasn't changed his initial opinion. In particular, Icardi also nakedly regarded Gao Zheng as a competitor, which made Marcy even more unhappy.
※※※
After training, Alberto Marcy suddenly announced that he was going to celebrate.
"Celebrate what?" Gao Zheng is very strange.
"Congratulations to finally playing in a competitive match for the development team and scoring your maiden goal! Also, you haven't had a welcome ceremony since you joined us. Marcy said.
Several teammates around him also nodded in agreement.
"You're just looking for an excuse to go to a nightclub, aren't you?" Gao Zheng saw through them at a glance.
Marcy smiled: "That's just by the way, by the way!" ”
Gao Zheng nodded: "Okay, then I'll call someone again." ”
"No problem, you're the protagonist tonight, you have the final say." Marcy spreads his hands.
Then he saw Gao Zheng turn around and call Icardi: "Hey, Mauro, there's a party in the evening, do you want to come, let's go!" ”
Marcy and his companions widened their eyes and looked at Gao Zheng and Icardi with some horror.
They never imagined that Gao Zheng would call that Argentine kid......
Damn it! Don't say yes! Don't say yes!
They kept crying out in their hearts.
Icardi was also surprised, he saw Gao Zheng's smile, and also saw the expression of Marcy behind Gao Zheng.
He frowned.
He knew that the people behind Gao Zheng didn't like him very much, so why did Gao Zheng still invite him?
"Go, Mauro?" Gao Zheng kept smiling and asked again.
So is it a challenge?
Icardi knew that Gao Zheng should be clear about his relationship with those people, why did he still send him an invitation, did he want to see if he dared to accept it?
At such a time, how can you be cowardly?
So Icardi nodded: "Okay, I'll go." ”
Gao Zheng turned around and asked Marcy, "No problem, right?" ”
Marcy endured the disappointment in his heart and nodded mechanically: "No...... Problem ......"
