Chapter 266: A bad news

After Feng Shiyao and Xiao Yingying returned to the dormitory, they took out the jersey with Gao Zheng's sweat. She turned around and asked her roommate: "Is this jersey really not washable?"

Xiao Yingying nodded: "It is said that yes, after washing, it has no collection value, and the meaning of the jersey is lost."

Feng Shiyao hesitated and hung the jersey in the closet.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yingying laughed secretly.

While Chinese fans are celebrating the Spring Festival, Gao Zheng has no holidays.

Sampdoria then drew Naples at 0:0 away, which was also a direct dialogue between the two shooters Gao Zheng and Cavani.

The end result was that neither person scored.

There is still no change in the situation on the shooter list. Gao Zheng topped the list with 24 goals and Cavani ranked second with 18 goals.

There is a difference of six goals between the two sides, which is not an easy distance.

The current situation on the shooter list is really desperate for those who are upset.

In the next two rounds of the league, Sampdoria scored two straight victories, defeating Verona 2:0 and Parma 1:0.

Gao Zheng scored a goal in this series of games, increasing his personal goals to 25th.

After winning two consecutive victories and losing to Lazio, he has been undefeated for nine consecutive rounds, allowing Sampdoria to score 49 points and rise to third place!

This position can participate in the Champions League qualifying next season!

A relegation team actually touched the qualification for the Champions League...

This really made everyone unexpected. Both Sampdoria fans and media reporters are unbelievable about Sampdoria's performance.

Sampdoria fans are full of longing for the future.

But at this time, a bad news came suddenly-Mr. Ricardo Garone, the chairman and boss of the Sampdoria Club, died of illness on March 4 at the age of 76.

The players heard the bad news from the reporters who were at the gate of the base when they finished training and left the training base.

President Ricardo Garone has high prestige in Sampdoria and is the object of respect for many players. For them, this news is simply a thunderbolt.

Gao Zheng stared at Lu Bing and Wang Yixing with wide eyes: "This is really unexpected..."

Since joining Sampdoria, he has been under the care and care of Mr. President many times, and has extraordinary feelings for this old man.

He still remembers what the chairman said to himself when he renewed his contract with the club.

Although he knew that President Garonne was suffering from cancer, he was so good in spirit that he never expected that he would be gone in just one year.

"I'm sorry, I will go to Mr. Chairman's funeral at that time." Gao Zheng shook his head and left, unwilling to say more.

※※※

That evening, the news of the death of President Garonne swept through the entire Italian football arena, and everyone was discussing the matter.

Even those opponents who didn't deal with Sampdoria, let go of the old grudges at this time.

Ricardo Garone is a famous big mouth, did not offend people at first. But now, everyone is taking the initiative not to mention those old things.

At night Viviano brought a pure black suit to Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng will only participate in the suits printed with the club's team logo when he participates in the competition with the team. He usually doesn't wear formal suits. He does not have any black suits such as funerals.

Viviano chatted a few times when he came to deliver a suit to Gao Zheng, he said with emotion: "Sampdoria finally looks a little bit better, it is estimated to be turbulent again..."

The chairman of the club died suddenly, who will be the successor, and this person will take the club to where no one knows.

This is not a good thing for the Sampdoria club.

The only good news may be that the team has basically succeeded in relegation in advance. No matter how turbulent the team will follow, the team will not be relegated to the second league.

Gao Zheng shook his head: "It doesn't matter to me. As a player, it's enough to play well. The future of the club is something that senior management considers."

"That's what it says, Gao Zheng. But you also have to consider your future, do you still plan to stay in Sampdoria?"

Gao Zheng said: "I'm definitely not going to stay in Sampdoria all the time, but now I don't want to think about it, I will talk about it later."

"Well, now is not really a good time to discuss the future." Viviano spread his hands and said goodbye. "rest well."

Outside the church where the funeral was held the next day, despite the torrential rain, many fans and journalists from Sampdoria came. The fans came to bid farewell to the club chairman, while the reporters came to cover the funeral.

They saw representatives of all Italian professional football clubs, including the Genoa club, and the most notable of course was of course Inter Milan President Moratti.

In addition, there are some players who have played for Sampdoria but have left the team.

It also includes Cassano who had an unpleasant encounter with Chairman Ricardo Garone.

Seeing Cassano, some fans shouted his name excitedly.

But he shrunk in his coat and did not respond.

At the time of the transfer bed in the winter, Cassano also stated that he and Chairman Garonne had released the suspicion, and said that he was willing to return to Sampdoria.

However, there is a combination of Gao Zheng and Icardi on the front line of Sampdoria. Cassano is no longer needed, so the Sampdoria club did not respond.

In addition to Cassano, Pazzini also returned to Genoa to attend the funeral of Mr. President.

Even the players of the Sampdoria youth team came.

Of course, certainly all Sampdoria first-team players.

Instead of training in the morning, they came to attend the funeral of Mr. Chairman.

Gao Zheng is also among them, like the teammates around him, wearing a suit.

Although it was raining, no one was holding an umbrella, the rain wet their hair and clothes, and the suits were no longer straight, but the expression on everyone's face was very serious, even if the rain was running down their faces unscrupulously, Nor did they show any impatient expression.

Chairman Ricardo Garone is a controversial figure in football, but no one can deny his help and support for the Sampdoria club. If it were not for him, then Sampdoria could not do well. It's completely finished. It was his constant investment that brought Sampdoria back to the first division.

After they entered the church, they sat quietly in their place and waited for the funeral to begin.

Gao Zheng saw the club's general manager Sagra Mora, as well as the eldest son of President Garonne, Eduardo Garonne, who was the club's executive vice chairman and heir to the contract renewal.

After Chairman Garonne's death, he will shoulder the important task of leading the club forward.

That is not an easy job.

Eduardo Garonne looked sad, and did not know whether he was sad because of the death of his father, or whether he was under great pressure for the responsibilities he assumed next.

The whole funeral was solemn and solemn.

After the end, everyone left in an orderly manner.

The reporters wanted to interview these people outside, but most people were reluctant to stay and interview.

Only Eduardo Garonne accepted interviews with reporters on behalf of the club.

"This time is very difficult for my family and the club. I lost my father and the club lost a great leader. I will try not to let this matter affect the team, the club will remain stable... …"

"Will the Garone family leave Sampdoria?" a reporter asked.

Eduardo Garonne froze for a moment, then shook his head very seriously and said, "No, no. The Garone family and Sampdoria are one, and we will never betray Sampdoria!"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be irritated by the problem. He waved his hand and was no longer interviewed by any reporter. He turned and walked away.

※※※

Although Eduardo Garonne said in an interview that the team will not be affected.

But Sampdoria suffered a two-game losing streak in the next game.

They first lost to Cagliari 1:3 and then lost to Inter Milan at home 0:2.

Gao Zheng scored the team's only goal in these two games, but did not help the team win.

It seemed that the agent Viviano had promised, and Sampdoria began to turbulence again...

Because of the two-game losing streak, the team's points stayed at forty-nine points, and their ranking in the league fell from the third to the sixth, not only the Champions League qualification is lost, but also fell out of the European War Qualification Zone.

When Sampdoria fans felt even worse, there were news of other teams digging into corners in the media.

When President Ricardo Garone was still alive, there have never been such rumors. Now, when Mr. President dies, there are such rumors.

Is this a robbery from other teams, or is the player's mind moving?
