Chapter 372 I'm Not His Replacement

When Sampdoria returned to Genoa, Europe was still discussing Gao Zheng's goal against the Celtics.

This is not the first time that Gao Zheng has been discussed throughout Europe for his beautiful goals.

The last time against Barcelona, ​​Gao Zheng's goal to help Sampdoria equalize the score almost formed a viral marketing after the game. Whether you know Gao Zheng or not, or follow Sampdoria or not, everyone After reposting the video of Gao Zheng's goal against Sampdoria, there were exclamations.

And not just ordinary fans, but also many football experts, celebrities and media people.

Same this time.

Gao Zheng's name is becoming more and more well-known, not only because of his performance in Serie A last season.

In fact, it is not very convincing for the performance of many players in their own league.

Everyone pays more attention to a player's performance in European competitions, especially the top stages like the Champions League.

That is a place that is more attractive than the five major leagues such as England, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Serie A, and it is also a place that tests people.

By default, young players who perform well in the Champions League will be more capable and more valuable in the market than young players who only perform well in their home league.

Gao Zheng's outstanding performance in the UEFA Champions League this season has naturally attracted more people's attention to him.

There are both from the media and from giant clubs.

The general opinion in the Italian media now is that for the Sampdoria club, Gao Zheng's outstanding performance is a sweet annoyance.

on the one hand,

Relying on his performance, Sampdoria has the hope of qualifying for the group qualifying. The team's performance in the Champions League also brought a lot of Champions League bonuses to the club, which is a big deal for Sampdoria's finances. Strong support.

But on the other hand, the better Gao Zheng performed, the harder it would be for Sampdoria to keep him. When the giants throw an olive branch to Gao Zheng again, what reason does Gao Zheng have to stay in Sampdoria this time? One of the reasons why he stayed last season was the death of the old chairman, and another part of the reason was that Gao Zheng hadn't played in the Champions League yet. And now all the factors that can restrict Gao Zheng's departure are gone. It's hard to say whether Sampdoria will still be able to play in the Champions League next season, but it may be difficult to see the team's current ranking in the league. There will be no Champions League next season, and there are many teams outside who can play in the Champions League who are interested in Gao Zheng. Why should he stay?

Whether Sampdoria, which has lost Gao Zheng, can continue such an outstanding performance is really hard to say.

That's good news for those who don't like Sampdoria. But for Sampdoria fans, it is a cruel reality that they must face and accept.

In today's era of football becoming more and more commercialized, it is difficult for small clubs to retain those outstanding players. When they are young, they can use the small team as their first stop. After they have achieved their worth, they will definitely leave to satisfy them. Ambitious big team.

And what about the small teams? With the transfer fee of selling these players, we will find some young, cheap and potential players, train them, help the team achieve good results, and at the same time attract the attention of the rich, and put their young players up for sale... This is survival mode for small teams.

The era of the Seven Sisters of Serie A is gone forever. It is becoming more and more difficult for small teams to compete with giants without capital injection from local tyrants.

Sampdoria is definitely unable to stop this turbulent trend. If the European giants snap up Gao Zheng, Sampdoria will definitely not be able to keep anyone. At that time, the only thing they can do is to take advantage of the fact that there is no liquidated damages clause in the contract between Gao Zheng and them, try to earn as much transfer fee as possible among the wealthy, and sell Gao Zheng at a high price.

In the end, if you can still use this money to introduce a group of players to the team, try not to let the team's strength drop too much, and stabilize in the middle of the league, then it will be considered a very successful operation.

Now that the winter break is getting closer, some teams can't hold back and plan to make a move on Gao Zheng during the winter transfer window.

However, Sampdoria's attitude is also very clear-what will happen next summer is uncertain now. But during the winter break, they would never let Gao Zheng go.

After all, there is still a very realistic goal for Gao Zheng, not the Champions League knockout, but relegation.

Based on the team's performance in the league, maybe Gao Zheng is really needed to help Sampdoria avoid relegation.

"...The whole of Europe is discussing Gao. I don't know if this will make Inter Milan, which failed to introduce Gao this summer, a little depressed. But to be honest, as Gao's replacement, Icardi's performance is not bad. He This season, he has scored eight goals in his new club, tied for third in the scorer list with Chelsea, but he still has one goal less than Gao..."

Icardi is a topic worth discussing ahead of the game between Sampdoria and Inter Milan.

Because of his performance in Sampdoria last season, also because of his relationship with Gao Zheng, and his decisive decision when he left Sampdoria, these are all hype.

However, in those discussions, this statement is the least acceptable to Icardi, that is, he is regarded as a substitute for Inter Milan's failure to pursue Gao Zheng.

Although it is true that Inter Milan has pursued Gao Zheng many times, and it is also true that Inter Milan went to Icardi after the pursuit of Gao Zheng was fruitless, but Icardi firmly cannot agree with this statement that belittles him.

You must know that he came to Inter Milan to get rid of Gao Zheng's shadow, but now he has scored eight goals in Inter Milan, but he is still living in Gao Zheng's shadow!

It is tolerable or unbearable.

So in an interview, Icardi said amazingly: "I am not a substitute for Gao Zheng, and the club did not buy me to replace Gao Zheng. I chose to transfer to Inter Milan for a very simple reason. I hope To be able to challenge Gao Qi, I want to beat Gao, and Inter Milan can meet my requirements."

As soon as this remark came out, the reporters surrounding Icardi were dumbfounded.

In fact, as to why Icardi left Sampdoria and went to a team that could not even play in the European War, the general guess is that Inter Milan is a giant, and the glory of the Triple Crown has not completely disappeared. , In the minds of talented young players like Icardi, the attraction must be better than Sampdoria.

Even if Inter Milan does not have to play in the Champions League and Europa League this season, everyone firmly believes that this situation will not last long. Maybe Inter Milan will return to the Champions League next season and return to their proper position.

And what about Sampdoria? After a good season this season, it is hard to say whether it will still be in Serie A next season.

So Icardi went to Inter Milan because Inter Milan is a giant, while Sampdoria is an ordinary team.

Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter turned out to be like this-Icardi didn't care whether Inter Milan was a wealthy family, he just wanted to compete with Gao Zheng before he transferred!

Didn't you say that Icardi and Gao Zheng have a good personal relationship?

How did you become an enemy all of a sudden?

What is going on here?
