"Devil King Gao Zheng"

This was the headline on the front page of Nineteenth Century on the second day of the competition.

It was matched with the moment when Gao Zheng shook his finger at Antonio Donnarumma.

The photo was taken from behind Antonio Donnarumma, that is, behind the Genoa goal, perfectly showing the relationship between the two in front of readers and fans.

"...In the eighty-seventh 'Lighthouse Derby' that ended last night, Sampdoria defeated their rival Genoa 5:1. This score is the most disparate score in the history of the two sides. In history, only in In the fifth round of Serie A in the 1948-1949 season, such a score once appeared. At that time, Sampdoria defeated Genoa 5:1. Now Gao and his teammates have completed such a remarkable achievement again. At the same time, this is also the The game with the most goals scored by both sides in the Lighthouse Derby. And all of this may be traced back to Donnarumma's sudden shooting at Gao before the game, which caused a war of words between the two sides..."

"Gao completed a hat-trick in the game, but in fact, if you look deeper, it should be the big four. Unfortunately, the first goal was counted as Bovo's own goal. Even so, Gao who scored 13 goals in 13 games is still the highest. Top scorer list. Knowing that this is his first Serie A season, it is really amazing to have such a performance..."

The article written by Frecello almost praised Gao Zheng to the sky.

But not all the media liked Gao Zheng so much.

Another influential media in Genoa, the "Trade Courier", focused on the battle between Gao Zheng and Donnarumma, but their point of view was on Donnarumma's side.

"...Gao celebrated by shaking his finger at Donnarumma after scoring two goals in the game. , I think the referee should pay special attention... After the game, everyone was cheering for the winner, but no one cared about Donnarumma's feelings. I went to the Internet to read it, and it was full of ridicule of Donnarumma, I personally think it's very inappropriate!"

"As a winner, you have to have the demeanor of a winner. After winning the game and then throwing stones at the loser, it only proves that the winner is narrow-minded. The high performance in the interview after the game is disgusting, it is naked' Whip corpse' behavior! Yes, he has now scored 13 goals in thirteen rounds, leading the scorer list. Yes, he performed a hat-trick in this game and became the protagonist of the game again...but that How about it? Even if he wins the game, he will lose people's hearts. Good skills can't hide the fact that his character is low! As Donnarumma said before, Gao's performance perfectly proves his accusation against Gao. We can totally Imagining the image of Gao in the AC Milan youth training camp, I am afraid not many teammates like him..."

After this comment came out, it was quickly noticed by Wang Yixing and Lu Bing.

"What kind of bullshit is this talking about... Can these Italians just hate our Chinese players?" Wang Yixing was very upset.

"Calm down." Lu Bing urged quickly. "There are also good people among the Italians, such as Frécello and Sampdoria fans. They are all Italians, so they don't need map guns."

Wang Yixing stared at him.

"Let's translate this article and transfer it back to China, so that Chinese fans can learn about what happened in Italy as soon as possible." Lu Bing continued.

Wang Yixing smiled: "You kid is more sinister than me, you are afraid that things won't make a big deal..."

"Italy has a tradition of anti-Chinese, and we are just telling the truth." Lu Bing explained solemnly.

After this "Trade Courier" report was exchanged back to China,

Indeed, it caused a huge response on the Internet in China.

The vast majority of Chinese fans are complaining for Gao Zheng, thinking that the Italian media is a kind of discrimination.

Of course, China has a large population, and there will always be some strange ideas that are unique and unconventional.

Some people think that what the Italian media said is right, Gao Zheng's performance is too unmannered, which makes them all feel ashamed. Those who hold this view even include many well-known big Vs on Weibo. They believe that Gao Zheng is already a symbol and representative of the Chinese in Italy, and his every move represents China's international image. If he behaves If it is not good, it will naturally affect Italians' perception of Chinese people and China as a country.

They also linked Gao Zheng's actions with the consistently bad image of Chinese football, thinking that this is why everyone in Chinese football calls for playing.

Of course, these remarks were criticized by the vast majority of netizens: "Do you think that if Donnarumma wins the match between him and Gao Zheng, he will show mercy to Gao Zheng? When he took the lead in the media When attacking Gao Zheng personally, why don't you holy mother bitches accuse Donnarumma of going too far? I'm sorry, but Gao Zheng won this war in the end. As the winner, he can say whatever he wants, whatever he wants Do whatever you want. Don’t accept it? Die if you don’t accept it!”

"It's been sixty-three years since the founding of New China. Why are some people still kneeling? The foreigner is right in everything he says, even if he points at us and scolds us, he will resign himself to it? Crazy!"

Gao Zheng didn't know about the voices on the Chinese Internet, but he was aware of the accusations and criticisms made against him by the Trade Courier.

"I thought people in the media should have basic logical thinking. How could the Trade Courier publish such a confusing article?" Gao Zheng asked his agent Viviano strangely.

"It's normal, they are inclined to the Genoa club." Viviano explained.

"Oh, the ass determines the head..." Gao Zheng nodded.

"Response?" he asked.

Gao Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I just won't accept any interviews with the "Trade Courier" in the future."

Viviano nodded and agreed with Gao Zheng's approach.

The "Trade Courier" was also suppressed by the "Nineteenth Century" in Genoa, and could only be the second child. The influence cannot go out of Genoa. What they did this time has a lot to do with their desire to expand their influence. Only by hyping up such controversial events can they quickly attract attention and expand their influence.

If Gao Zheng fought back against the Trade Courier like he did with Donnarumma before the game, he would be playing in the opponent's arms.

After all, if you spit on each other with the players, you can still compete on the court and beat each other with goals, just like what Gao Zheng did to Donnarumma.

But talking to the media is not worth the loss. If you quarrel with him, it's all hype for him. The other party probably wants Gao Zheng to come and quarrel with them now.

When he was in Serie B last season, the Sassuolo media reporter had conflicts with Gao Zheng, and Gao Zheng did not directly quarrel with the opposing media, but passed on the conflict to the Sassuolo club. In Viviano's view, this is Gao Zheng's cleverness. Instead of arguing with the Sassuolo media who want to touch China, but to attack the Sassuolo club, it is a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.

For the media, traffic is their life. Not only did Gao Zheng not quarrel with them, but he directly refused their interviews. This is the way that can really make the media feel heartbroken.

Until now, Sassuolo's media outlet is still on Gao Zheng's blacklist...

"But Gao Zheng, did you find out? After you won against AC Milan before, the media was basically full of praise. This time you won against Genoa, but instead there were voices of criticism in the media. Online criticism of you Comments are starting to polarize as well, why is that?"

Gao Zheng thought for a while: "Because the Trade Courier supports Genoa?"

"No, it's just a façade. It actually has something to do with who you are," Viviano said.

"My identity?" Gao Zheng couldn't figure it out. "What is my identity? Socialist successor?"

Viviano rolled his eyes: "Almost."

"Damn, I just said it casually..." Gao Zheng was startled.

"Because you're Chinese," Viviano said.

Gao Zheng was stunned.
