"...'Sassuolo just happened to be in my way'. Gao's attitude after the game against Sassuolo caused some controversy. Sassuolo fans seemed to be dissatisfied with Gao's arrogance. But the Genoa media thought that It is the Sassuolo fans who are too glassy, ​​this is a natural statement..."

"Gao scored two goals in the game against Sassuolo, helping the ball concede a 2-0 win. The first of the two goals was brilliant, and the second had a strong element of luck...Actually, I I can understand the thoughts of Sassuolo fans-such a powerful player obviously belongs to Sassuolo, but now because of some erroneous things, he has become a member of Sampdoria. Although whether it is Neither Sassuolo general manager Bonato nor owner Squinzi admitted it, but now more and more people believe that Squinzi’s vision and decision on AC Milan was due to being a die-hard supporter of AC Milan. With a blind obedience mentality, they rejected Gao's... Now it is Sassuolo's turn to regret - after losing this game, they have fallen from the second place in the league and are temporarily ranked third in the league. But It means that if they cannot return to the top two in the league, then they will lose the opportunity to directly advance to the First Division..."

Barbara Berlusconi put down the newspaper in her hand, and there were several newspapers on the table in front of her, and what these newspapers had in common was that there was a photo of Gao Zheng in a prominent position.

Two of the newspapers published the "Nineteenth Century Daily"'s exclusive interview with Gao Zheng.

Barbara Berlusconi, who put down the newspaper, picked up her mobile phone and made a call: "Driving the car, I'm going to Vismala."

After hanging up the phone, she gathered the newspapers on the table and put them together in her Hermes bag.

Philippe Galli never imagined that he would see the boss's daughter, Barbara Berlusconi, in the youth academy.

Although she entered the AC Milan club last year, she has never been to the youth training camp Wismara.

"Philip, please show me around Vismara. I'm familiar with Milanello, but I'm afraid I'll get lost here." Barbara smiled at Gary.

Although Gary didn't understand why the second princess came, he obviously couldn't refuse such a request, so he quickly smiled and said, "I am willing to serve the beautiful lady."

He took Barbara around the Wismara training base, from the club's physiotherapy room, locker room, gym to the training ground outside, and walked around one by one.

The director of youth training became a tour guide, introducing each facility to Barbara.

Finally they walked to the reserve team training ground,

The players of the reserve team are training.

"This is the reserve team." Gary briefly introduced.

"Is there any high-profile talent in our reserves right now?" Barbara asked.

"Ah, of course." Speaking of youth training results, the director of youth training Gary said proudly immediately. "Did you see that lad? It's the one who just caught the ball. His name is Brian Christian. He won the national championship when he was in U15, and he also won the national championship when he played in U17 last season. This season we transferred him to the reserve team, but in fact he had already played in the Champions League for the first team last season, and he was the youngest player for Milan to play in the Champions League..."

Gary gushed to Barbara about the star of hope in the AC Milan youth academy.

After listening to him with great interest, Barbara smiled and clapped: "It seems that our Milan youth training tradition has not been discarded, which is great. You know, Philip, I have the task of making the club younger , This of course also includes our youth training, if we can see more talented players from our own youth training system appearing in the San Siro Stadium, I believe my father will be very happy..."

"Of course, this is exactly the meaning of my work." Referring to Mr. Berlusconi, Philippe Galli looked very respectful.

"I am very happy to see Milan's youth academy achieve such great results under your leadership, Felipe, I am really proud and proud of you. I know you are an expert in youth training, so I have a question for you. I ask you for advice, I hope you can answer my doubts."

Although Barbara still had the same smile on her face, Philip Galli suddenly felt ominous in his heart. The smile on his face was a little stiff and he said, "What's the problem?"

"You know, Felipe, I want to be able to see our young players at the San Siro win the cheers and love of the fans, just like Franco and Paulo, but to be honest our youth training has not been finalized for many years. Having produced players who can become legends in the first team, I wonder what went wrong?"

Hearing what Barbara said, Gary was a little relieved. This is the easiest misunderstanding that many laymen have about youth training. It seems that if the first team is not sent a few players who can play in the first team every year, the youth training will be considered a failure. same. But in fact, for youth training, this is the norm, and the appearance of Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini is a very small probability.

So he began to explain to Barbara from the perspective of youth training, and at the same time, he had to avoid speaking too professionally and make Barbara lose patience.

"...Of course we all hope that the youth training can continuously provide usable talents to the first team, but the reality is that many talented players who have performed well in the youth team often cannot even play in the first team when they go to the first team. It’s not just that the wealthy first team doesn’t give young players opportunities, there are also reasons why the quality of young players does not meet the requirements of the first team... Not every player who performs well in the reserve team and youth team will definitely be able to play in the first team , in fact, the situation like Maldini and Baresi is impossible..."

During the process of explaining, he kept observing Barbara's expression, and saw that she was always smiling, without any expression of impatience, as if she was really listening to his explanation seriously.

Just when the big stone in Gary's heart was about to fall to the ground, the smiling Barbara suddenly said: "Is that so? I really don't know much about youth training...so I wonder why it is obviously our youth training What about the players who come out and end up doing well for other teams?"

Gary thought that the second princess really didn't understand youth training, so he could ask such a question, he smiled and said, "It's like this, we often loan out those young players who are talented but can't play in the first team for the time being. We will continue to observe their performance by trading half of their ownership to other teams. If they perform well in other teams, it is not ruled out that we will call them back in the future. By then, they may You'll be able to get a foothold in the first team..."

"Oh, is that so?" Barbara showed a gratified smile, "So, Gao, who has performed well in Sampdoria now, has a chance to come back to our Milan?"

The smile on Gary's face froze.

The bald Galliani squinted his eyes and looked at the panicked Gary in front of him: "Then how did you answer her?"

"I...I can only tell the truth, sir." Gary said with a sad face, "I told Ms. Barbara that Gao just played in Wismara, and now he has nothing to do with AC Milan. She is Board members, I can't deceive her. Then she kept asking me why Gao and we terminated the contract. I told her it was the laboratory's suggestion, but she didn't seem satisfied. Instead, she asked me, sir, do you know Gao The termination of the contract...I swear to her, sir, you don't know..."

"Of course I don't know," Galliani said.

"Yes, sir. You are the general manager of the club. How could you be notified of the termination of the youth team's players?" Gary added hastily. "After hearing that you didn't know, Ms. Barbara left a little disappointed."

Gary finally finished talking.

Galliani stared at him, and said with some confusion: "Philip, I also have a question - Barbara just cares about the youth training, why did you come here to tell me these things?"

Gary looked up at Galliani in astonishment, and said in surprise: "Uh, I heard that Barbara seems to be dissatisfied with you, I thought she would use this as an excuse..."

"Barbara is dissatisfied with me? I was there to witness her birth. Who did you hear such a thing?" Galliani was surprised at first, then serious.

Gary shuddered, and suddenly came to his senses. He quickly lowered his head and said, "I must have misheard..."

"But I still want to thank you, Philip." Galliani stood up from behind the desk, and walked slowly to Gary.

Gary, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up and watched the number one butler of AC Milan stretch out his hand to him. He stood up quickly and covered the hand that symbolized friendship and gratitude.

After Gary left the office, Galliani meditated for a long time behind his desk alone, and then took out his mobile phone: "Aliedo, can you come to my office? I have something to talk to you about." .”
