Chapter 311 Chain Reaction in the Market

The next day Gao Zheng was surrounded by reporters outside the training ground, and everyone asked him what he thought of the statement in the program on Channel 5.

"Everyone has the right to express their opinion, no matter how stupid the opinion is." Gao Zheng said. "I don't think the normal transfer of players can be linked to 'voting with your feet'. This is just a kind of obscenity."

"What do you think of the core statement?"

Gao Zheng smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if the core is not the core, what matters is the team's performance."

He didn't directly complain about this statement because it would hurt Icardi, who has already left the team. After all, this topic was not provoked by Icardi. experts.

And he doesn't need to answer this kind of question. When the season starts, don't you know the actual performance?

The media really wanted to make a big news, but he had no obligation to play with them.

After selling Icardi, Sampdoria will naturally make reinforcements on the front line.

Di Francesco told Sagramola that he has taken a fancy to Domenic Berardi, a young striker in the newly promoted Sassuolo team, and hopes that Sagramola can fulfill his wish.

This gave Sagramola a headache.

"Eusebio, don't you know that our relationship with Sassuolo is tense?"

Di Francesco shook his head: "Why?"

"Uh... This matter has something to do with Gao..." Then Sagramola told Di Francesco about their past in Serie B.

After listening to it, Di Francesco was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Gao Zheng's original actions would make the relationship between the two clubs so stiff, and what happened more than a year ago had affected his current signing plan.

"Is there nothing you can do?"

"I can fax it to the Sassuolo club, but I think it is very likely that the other party will take the opportunity to humiliate it."

"Forget it..." Di Francesco waved his hand, there was no need to get up and get slapped in the face.

But he is still a pity.

He is very optimistic about Berardi. This young player was Sassuolo's main player in Serie B last season. He played 37 times, scored 11 goals, and had 6 assists. One person made seventeen balls.

Such a performance was very eye-catching. He originally wanted to sign him to be a partner with Gao Zheng.

But now it seems that I am afraid that I have no chance with myself.

Di Francesco has already turned his head to consider other forward candidates, but without his knowledge, things are quietly changing...

Sassuolo, who have just been promoted to Serie A, need to strengthen their strength in order to fight for relegation to ensure that they can stay in Serie A after the end of the season instead of falling back to Serie B. After all, this is the first time they have been promoted to the First Division since the establishment of the team. When the whole team is excited, they must also consider the actual situation.

Sassuolo have eyed Juventus striker Manolo Gabbiadini.

The young center forward who made his debut in Atlanta performed well in the U21 European Youth Championship this summer and attracted the attention of many teams.

However, Juventus owns half of his ownership. He was loaned to Bologna last season. He played 30 times in Serie A, scored six goals and assisted twice. For a nineteen-year-old player, this performance is very good. After all Not everyone is Gao Zheng.

So Sassuolo asked Juventus to buy the young high center forward.

As a result, Juventus turned their attention to Sassuolo's Domenic Berardi.

This made Sassuolo a little tangled.

In the end, after some bargaining, Juventus signed all the ownership of Berardi from Sassuolo with 12 million euros and half of Gabbiadini's ownership, and bought it out directly.

Gabbiadini's half ownership is discounted by 5.5 million euros, so Berardi's worth is approximately equal to 17.5 million euros.

The decision to sell Berardi put the Sassuolo club under pressure from Sassuolo fans, but the cash of 12 million euros is indeed a very important sum of money for Sassuolo.

At the same time, although they lost Berardi, they also gained another striker Gabbiadini who is not weaker than him. For Sassuolo's striker, the impact should not be great.

When Sagramola heard that Berardi was bought by Juventus, he immediately ran to Di Francesco: "Eusebio, are you still interested in that Berardi?"

"Didn't you say you can't buy it? I'm not interested..."

"What if you can get it?"

Di Francesco looked at the club's general manager strangely: "What's wrong?"

"Just tell me if you want him to come!"

"Of course, it would be better if you could come."

After getting the answer, Sagramola told the most recent situation: "Juventus bought Berardi from Sassuolo, and now this is an operational project!"

Di Francesco asked and frowned: "He can't play in Juventus."

"So this is our opportunity. We can rent it out, or we can find Juventus to buy half of the ownership. There is a lot of room for maneuvering..."

Di Francesco nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just wait for your good news."

Berardi still felt like he was dreaming when he suddenly became a Juventus player, with a sense of unreality.

After the team's results, he was very excited and was thinking about how to perform well in the league in the new season, taking his idol Gao Zheng as his goal and example. Of course, it is impossible for him to win the League Golden Boot in the first Serie A season like Gao Zheng did, but it is indeed his wish to score more goals.

But what made him more frustrated was that he was sent off with a red card and suspended for three games because of a malicious foul in the last round of Serie B last season. He will not be able to play in the first three games of the new season.

Everyone was very happy after the promotion, but he was fined by the club after the game as punishment.

In fact, Berardi is not the kind of irritable person in private, but when the adrenaline surges during the game, he can't control his emotions a little bit.

In Serie B last season, he received a total of five yellow cards and one red card, and was once suspended for one game for accumulating yellow cards. As a forward, this statistic is really scary, and he is also the player with the most cards in the entire team.

Because of discipline issues, he suffered a lot.

Also after the team's success, he was too excited to celebrate all night and didn't hear the alarm the next morning. As a result, he was supposed to go to the Koverciano base to gather with the U19 national team. Appeared, and therefore missed the flight to Russia to participate in the European Youth Championship.

At that time, the coach of the national youth team, Evani, desperately called him, but because his mobile phone ran out of battery and turned off during the all-night celebration, and he didn't care about charging at all, so the phone was turned off... In the end, it didn't work. The way, the u19 national youth team can only find Pescara's young striker Di Francesco to replace...

Coincidentally, the young Pescara striker is the son of Sampdoria coach Di Francesco.

The final result of this incident was that Berardi was suspended by the national team for nine months. It is said that the person who made the final decision on the punishment was Sacchi, and the executor was the coach of the National Youth Team, Evani.

This incident cast a shadow over Berardi's career prospects. After all, few people like smug young people.

This incident has also lowered his evaluation in the hearts of the Sassuolo club executives. The club previously trained him as a star of hope, but he received so many cards in the league last season due to disciplinary issues. It made the club management have a headache for him.

Never thought that the team has been upgraded, and he would come up with such a big moth.

If he still cannot control his temper on the court and does not change his disregard for discipline, the club believes that his future prospects may be very limited.

Berardi also decided to seriously reflect.

As a result, at this time came the news that the club was going to sell him to Juventus.

Unlike other young players, Berardi doesn't think this is a good thing, because he knows very well that even if he goes to Juventus, he will not be able to play.

Joining a giant is just a thing that sounds nice, but the actual benefits are zero.

What he needs now is a team that can play steadily, not a so-called giant.

He also knows how deep the rich water is.

But this matter is obviously beyond his will.

On the one hand, the club has a headache for his disciplinary problems, and on the other hand, it is not sure whether he can still perform like that if he went to Serie A after he performed well in Serie B. Gabbiadini has at least played in Serie A and proved his ability.

In comparison, as long as Juventus's price is right, it is not impossible to sell Berardi.

So, just like that, Berardi found himself a Juventus player.

But he is not happy at all, he is now very worried about how he will get a stable chance to play next.

It is obviously impossible to achieve this goal at Juventus.

Juventus should loan him out.

But everything is foreign and he has to start from scratch.

I have always been in Sassuolo and I am most familiar with it. Maybe I can ask my agent to make a suggestion to Juventus to see if I can rent myself back to Sassuolo.

While planning his future career in this way, Berardi received a call from his agent Simone Segdoni.

"Hey, Domenic, what do you think about another team?"

"Are they going to loan me out?" Berardi was not surprised by Juventus's operation.

"No, it's not a loan, it's selling half of your ownership. Then you will belong to the team that bought your half ownership."

"Well... this operation is also very common..." Berardi sighed, "Where are we going?"

"Sampdoria!"

Domenique Berardi's eyes widened.
