"'I will mainly meet Sassuolo in the future, and I will definitely go all out to help the team beat you'..."

Manager Viviano held a copy of "Nineteenth Century" and asked Gao Zheng, "You really said that?"

"What else?" Gao Zheng pointed to the pile of newspapers on the table, all of which were brought by Viviano when he knocked on the door. He bought almost all the newspapers on the market. Most of them are recorded yesterday's confrontation with the Sassuolo reporter Leonardo Giovanetti.

"Isn't it all published here? One media may be spreading rumors. If these dozens of media publish the same thing together, it can't be spreading rumors, right?"

Viviano looked at Gao Zheng with a smile: "Why do I always feel that you have finally found a chance?"

"What chance?" Gao Zheng looked confused.

"A chance to play Sassuolo in an aboveboard manner," Viviano said with a smile.

Gao Zheng quickly waved his hand: "You think too much, Andre."

"I understand, I understand." Viviano nodded repeatedly, "We are the same kind of people, Gao Zheng."

Gao Zheng was confused: "What do you know? And you can tell me clearly, what kind of people are we?"

"It's all Avengers!"

Gao Zheng really wanted to cover his face - it's not good to make a decision too hastily without thinking twice, what a wonderful manager he found to come back...

"It's up to you to understand it..." He rolled his eyes, knowing that facing this manager who had a lot of inner drama, the more he explained, the less clear he would be. So just don't say anything...

Viviano laughed and packed up the newspapers, ready to take them out and throw them away.

"But Gao Zheng, Sampdoria is now ranked fifth, and Sassuolo is third, so the play-offs won't happen?"

"It's just that we can't meet in the first round of play-offs." Gao Zheng knocked his legs on the coffee table, and while watching the vase hostess on TV, he casually answered the manager's questions.

"Are you so sure that Sassuolo can make it to the second round of the play-offs?" Viviano had no doubt that Sampdoria would not make it to the first round of the play-offs, because he believed in Gao Zheng's strength.

The loss to Pescara was actually an accident. After all, no one expected that the Sampdoria players would relax too much after locking in the play-off places in advance.

And Yakini did not let Gao Zheng continue to start, obviously because he was worried about Gao Zheng's physical problems.

It is impossible to say that Sampdoria deliberately released water to keep Sassuolo in third place.

After all, wouldn't it be bad if Sampdoria slipped from fifth to sixth because of a loss to Pescara?

You must know that the sixth place and the fifth place face different opponents, the fifth place faces the fourth place, and the sixth place will face the third place...

Viviano suddenly thought that the third place is not Sassuolo?

If Sampdoria is really only sixth in the end, they will meet Sassuolo in the first round of the playoffs!

Thinking of this, he secretly cast his eyes on Gao Zheng. Was it really on purpose?

However, Gao Zheng, who was watching TV, still said casually: "I'm not sure if they can. If they don't meet, then they won't. Anyway, the future is long, and there will be opportunities in the future."

"If they don't, it means they won't be promoted to the First Division..."

"If you don't get promoted this season, maybe next season?" Gao Zheng wasn't too entangled. "Sometimes we meet."

"Good job Leonardo!"

In the office of the editor-in-chief of "Sassuolo Information", a fat middle-aged man was patting Leonardo Giovanetti on the shoulder vigorously, smiling all over his face.

He is Figaro Parvado, editor-in-chief of Sassuolo Information.

Today, the "Sassuolo Information" he works for has become a well-known media and has been reported by many media.

That's why he's happy.

Although this reputation may not be a good one, Parvado doesn't care about it.

"Sassuolo Information" is just a local newspaper in the small town of Sassuolo. It has little influence outside Sassuolo. It can't even cover Modena next to it, and it will be reversed by the media in Modena. encroach on their territory.

So Parvado has always had a goal, which is to enable the "Sassuolo Information" led by him to counterattack the Modena market.

Sassuolo is a very small place, and the "Sassuolo Information" rooted here can only report on trivial things that happened locally.

Sassuolo Football Club is the biggest thing here, so the most content in this newspaper is related to this team. With the improvement of Sassuolo's performance this season, the "Sassuolo Information" relies on The media of the local club did seem to be able to counterattack Modena, but they were always close to it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the match between Sampdoria and Pescara actually made his newspaper popular.

Parvado felt more and more that it was the most correct choice for him to let Leonardo Giovanetti play against Sampdoria.

Because he knows that Giovanetti is a guy who doesn't like Chinese people. Sassuolo is rich in ceramic tiles locally, so it often has business contacts with China and has more opportunities to contact Chinese people.

In his contact with these Chinese, Giovanetti showed his racist tendencies and suffered because of it.

At that time, some Chinese complained about Giovanetti to their newspaper. Under pressure, Parvado transferred Giovanetti from the business side to the sports side.

His initial idea was to keep Giovanetti away from things related to China. Unexpectedly, a Chinese football player appeared this year, and this Chinese player seems to have an enmity with Sassuolo?

To be honest, Parvado sent Giovanetti to Sampdoria with this kind of provocative mentality-he knew that Giovanetti didn't like the Chinese, and he just waited for the two sides to spark Woolen cloth.

Although doing so may cause some controversy, let your own newspaper bear some negative comments.

But as a veteran media person, Parvado doesn't care about these so-called evaluations. For him, attention is the lifeblood of the media. Without attention, there is nothing. To gain attention, he can do anything.

So this time, in his opinion, Giovanetti did nothing wrong. Not only did he not do anything wrong, but he also made great contributions to the newspaper.

But even if it caused some protests, if the matter becomes serious, the solution is very simple-whoever caused the trouble should be responsible, just fire Giovanetti, and then publish an apology statement at that time, it is not a big problem.

The conflict between Gao Zheng and the Sassuolo reporter did attract the attention of many people. On the second day after the game, a large number of reporters interviewed Sassuolo players, coaches and officials outside Sassuolo's training base. He wanted to hear what they thought of Gao Zheng's sudden harsh words to them.

The vast majority of Sassuolo players are silent. After all, not everyone can express conflicts so directly like Gao Zheng. Many people, especially public figures, no matter how upset they are, they will not turn their faces in person, because they do not want to leave any clues to the media and the public that may be against them in the future.

This time even Sassuolo's manager, Nerio Bonato, did not refuse to respond to what Gao Zheng said. The main reason is that he doesn't know how to respond-this is the first time he has encountered a player who directly and openly challenged his club.

He had never encountered such a situation before, so naturally he didn't know how to respond...

On the other hand, he knew the whole story, and he was still a little uneasy if he was to be tough on Gao Zheng.

After all, this matter is indeed something that Sassuolo Club did wrong...

But what Bonato didn't expect was that when Gao Zheng and Sassuolo played before, he never showed up for an interview. The club owner, Mr. Squinzi, who expressed his opinion, suddenly took the initiative to speak out this time!

He looked very angry: "I have seen a lot of talented young talents, but I have never seen a player who is so mad. Gao also said before that he did not resent Sassuolo because of the unsuccessful trial training. Now everyone can see what a hypocrite he is! Arrogant man! He declared war on Sassuolo, ok, let's fight!"

When Bonato saw the boss's response, he covered his face—boss, you are rushing to be a trustee!

Outside the Sampdoria training base, the same situation happened outside the Sassuolo training base. A large number of reporters gathered to surround Gao Zheng.

When Gao Zheng followed Pellet's car out of the training base, the car was stopped by the reporters.

A group of people gathered around the co-pilot, but the reporters who really couldn't squeeze in came to the main driver's side, and the interviewee was not at all Pellet.

But Pellet, who was driving, didn't care about this at all. He felt that it was only right for Gao Zheng to enjoy such treatment.

He happily watched Gao Zheng deal with the reporters.

"Gao, Gao, Squinzi said you are declaring war on Sassuolo..."

Gao Zheng quickly waved his hand: "Exaggerated, exaggerated... It's not a declaration of war, it's really not a declaration of war."

"Squinzi called you a hypocrite..."

"Whatever he says, although I am Chinese, I understand freedom of speech."

"But this is already a personal attack..." Lu Bing approached and asked.

"Freedom of speech, freedom of speech." Gao Zheng still repeated the word.

Lu Bing is a little confused about the situation. Gao Zheng really wants to give up under the pressure of this universal value? After all, who dares to say that these four words are wrong... What is universal value? Universal values ​​are all human beings, values ​​generally accepted by the whole world.

At this moment, Wang Yixing who was next to him suddenly asked in Italian: "Gao Zheng, as the boss of Sassuolo, Squinzi has already uttered harsh words, saying that he will fight. Aren't you worried about this?"

His question made Lu Bing a little confused—everyone is Chinese, what Italian do you speak!

Gao Zheng smiled, waved his hands nonchalantly, and replied in Italian, "There's nothing to worry about. Isn't there a saying in China that 'a dog that bites doesn't bark'? The more fierce the barking dog, the more Don't worry."
