Prominence in Football Community

When Gao Zheng was on vacation, the Sampdoria club couldn't rest at all.

The season is over, the team has achieved a good result, but for the club, the real challenge has just begun.

The last time Sampdoria participated in the Champions League, they were relegated in the end. Although it is difficult to say that there is an inevitable connection between the relegation and the Champions League, this memory does not feel good after all.

Multi-line combat is also a big problem for the team.

Next season, Sampdoria does not want the team to be eliminated in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round. They still want to participate in the main game. After all, only by participating in the main game can they have a generous game bonus.

But at the same time, they don't want to participate in the Champions League, which will lead to the team's relegation.

Although the team performed well last season, the young people have withstood the test.

But on the one hand, the team still needs to continue to strengthen, on the other hand, it has to guard against other teams poaching Sampdoria's corner, and on the third aspect, Sampdoria's own financial problems also need to be considered, after all, they are not those The rich and powerful clubs do not have inexhaustible petrodollars behind them. It is impossible for them to take a fancy to anyone and bring him at all costs.

After the death of the old chairman Ricardo Garrone, what Garonega thinks about the Sampdoria club, and whether they are willing to continue to invest, these are the problems facing the Sampdoria club.

Although Sampdoria is backed by the Garone family, and the Garone family is the family at the helm of a well-known Italian petrochemical company, this does not mean that the money of the Garone family is the money of the Sampdoria club, and even more so. Most of the time, the club needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses.

If they sold Gao Zheng, all economic problems would disappear, but more new problems would emerge.

Gao Zheng stated several times that he would not leave the team this summer.

Then there is absolutely no reason for the club to sell him.

Gao Zheng is not for sale, but other Sampdoria players may not be for sale.

As soon as the league ended, the head coach Di Francesco made a list for the club's general manager Sagramola. In this list, he divided the team's players into ranks and ranks.

Absolutely not for sale is Gao Zheng.

Although there are some players who are not for sale like Gao Zheng, he does not recommend selling them from the perspective of the head coach. These players are basically young players who performed well last season and occupy an important position in Di Francesco's plan.

Some of the players who can be sold at the right price are also the main players of last season, but on the one hand they are older, on the other hand they have high wages, and on the other hand, they can also find replacements in the transfer market. These players are generally recommended to stay, but if there is a suitable price, Di Francesco believes that the club can be sold, but not too much, otherwise it will affect the stability of the team.

For those players who are difficult to play in the team, as long as there is an offer from the team, Di Francesco believes that they can be sold to save salary space and prepare for new players.

Of course, this is based on the judgment made by a head coach from a competitive point of view, and it does not necessarily agree with the club's ideas. In the end, it is the club's general manager Sagramola, not the head coach Di Francesco, who has the final say.

Because of Sampdoria's outstanding performance last season, many players in the team performed outstandingly, which naturally attracted the attention of other teams.

So this summer, there have been many rumors about the transfer of Sampdoria players.

Gao Zheng has stated that he will not leave, and there are not many rumors about his transfer.

But there are a lot of transfer scandals about Alberto Massi, Obiang, Kosticic, Icardi and others.

Massi was pursued by Juventus last season, and now after a season of experience, Juventus's interest in him has not diminished in the slightest.

So as soon as the season ended, there was news that Juventus wanted to buy Alberto Massi.

Now the nickname given to Massi in the media is "New Nesta". Not only Juventus, but also some other Serie A teams have also thrown olive branches.

As the golden combination of Sampdoria's midfielder this season, Obiang and Kosticic have also attracted much attention.

Of course, it is Icardi who has the most transfer rumors.

The young Argentine striker, although in the shadow of Gao Zheng last season, still scored 15 goals. Prior to this, there were actually not many rumors about his transfer in the market.

But when Gao Zheng made it clear that he would not leave this summer, Icardi suddenly became a favorite in the transfer market.

Fifteen goals as the performance of the first Serie A season is very outstanding and dazzling.

This result allows Icardi to rank among the top ten scorers in Serie A.

You must know that the "Little Pharaoh" Shalawi, who received much attention and anticipation last season, only scored 16 goals. This is already the top scorer in AC Milan's team last season.

Since Gao Zheng refused to leave, other teams turned their attention to Icardi, hoping to take Icardi away.

But on the list given to Sagramola by Di Francesco, Alberto Massi, Obiang, Kosticic and Icardi are all players who are not recommended for sale.

It can be said that they and Gao Zheng are the biggest support for Sampdoria to challenge the Champions League in the new season.

This really confuses Sagramola. Except for Gao Zheng, the most popular players in the team are exactly the players that the head coach does not recommend selling... and those players who can be sold, on the one hand, there are few people interested, on the other hand On the one hand, even if you can sell it, you can't afford it.

Icardi, who was on vacation, received a call from his agent Abion Marano: "Mauro, do you know all the transfer rumors?"

"I see, Abion, what's the matter?"

"Well, I want to tell you, those are not rumors, everything is true!" Abion Marano's voice was a little excited, "Do you want to change places?"

"Transfer? No, I don't want to." Icardi simply rejected his agent.

Marano doesn't mean that, he knows what his talented player thinks, but he also has his thoughts.

He has been encouraging Icardi to leave Sampdoria, even though his players only established themselves in the Sampdoria first team near the middle of last season.

He is very clear that Sampdoria is Gao Zheng's Sampdoria, not Icardi's Sampdoria. If he continues to stay in Sampdoria, Icardi will inevitably continue to live in the shadow of Gao Zheng, and this is what his agent does not want to see. Neither is a good thing.

"I know what you think, Mauro. But you listen to me, leaving Sampdoria does not mean running away, but looking for a better opportunity to play against him. You think, you stay at Sampdoria Doria, whether in terms of tactics or resources, will favor Gao, not you. You and him can never be on a level playing field. How can you compete with him? But if you can leave Sampdoria and go to a new team, and this team is willing to take you as the core, then it can be called a truly fair competition between you and Gao!"

Hearing Marano's words, Icardi fell silent.

Marano continued to persuade: "And you actually know in your heart that being an opponent is much more friendly than being a team. This is the most correct decision. Think about it, you don't need to pass the ball to him in the game, and you don't need to pass the ball to him. Be at the top to attract defensive firepower for him, without your protection, what he can do is really limited. And when you challenge him on another team, the final winner must be you!"

Icardi was moved by what his agent said, but he still had doubts: "How do you know that a team is willing to use me as the core?"

Marano smiled: "Of course I know, because I just talked to Mr. Osirio on the phone..."

"Who is that?"

"The sporting director of Inter Milan! The powerful person in charge of the transfer! He expressed his appreciation to me on the phone. He was full of praise. He thought you were greatly underestimated. Staying in Sampdoria is just a matter of course. Let you continue to be underestimated! They are thirsty for you... Mr. Ausilio has positioned you as the striker leader of Inter Milan for the next ten years! Listen, Mauro, 'leader of the striker'! This is you in Sang The treatment that Pudulia can enjoy? They will only let you help that Chinese, but that is the biggest waste of your talent!"

Marano was very excited, and Icardi hesitated a little. He asked: "Did he really say that?"

"It's true, we have been together for so many years, when did I lie to you? Trust my judgment, Mauro. Leaving Sampdoria is absolutely harmless to you, just like when we left La Masia Same. If you stayed at Barcelona, ​​you probably wouldn't have played at Camp Nou, but now you're a top scorer with 15 goals in Serie A!"

Icardi was a little upset by what he said, so he said: "You let me think about it, Abion. I can't give you an answer right now."

"Okay, of course it's okay, you can call me whenever you think about it, but no matter what decision you make, I will be by your side, Mauro."

After hanging up the phone, Icardi looked at the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky in front of him, and suddenly lost the leisurely thought of continuing his vacation.
