Prominence in Football Community

Because you are Chinese.

Gao Zheng hasn't heard this sentence in a long time.

When he first came to the training camp in Vismara, Milan, Italy, he heard this sentence for the first time.

At that time, he performed well in the team training, but when the team played, he could only be a substitute.

One game came off the bench, two games came off the bench, and three games came off the bench.

No matter how well he performs in training, he is a substitute.

At that time he used Italian, which he had just learned for a few days, and he asked the coach, why? Why not let him play.

The coach of the youth team told him: "Because you are Chinese."

Gao Zheng was confused at the time and couldn't understand the meaning of this answer at all.

What's wrong with me being Chinese?

Can't I play if I'm Chinese?

Can't I play football if I am Chinese?

I came here for training. What does it have to do with my nationality?

Later, Gao Zheng realized that this was actually an implicit discrimination from abroad.

Of course, they will not directly say, "Because you are Chinese, we feel that your ability is low and you cannot meet the requirements for appearance."

The West still attaches great importance to such things as political correctness.

But what can be done on the surface can be controlled, and what you think in your heart cannot be controlled by a "political correctness".

This is implicit discrimination, which is more terrible than it is.

It took some time for Gao Zheng to understand that in Italy, if he wants to play, it is not good to perform well, even to perform as well as those foreign players-this "foreign" does not only refer to the Italian It includes all countries except China, which are collectively referred to as "foreigners"-if you want to play the game is simple, it is better than these foreigners, and still better than twice.

Only in this way can he bridge the gap between him and foreign teammates and be favored by the coach to play in the game.

Facing this apparently unfair rule, fifteen-year-old Gao Zheng did not blame himself, but worked hard.

To be twice as good as you?

Okay, it is twice as good as you.

In this way, Gao Zheng played in the AC Milan junior team.

Since he played the game, he has never given up his starting position.

He has always been a starter.

With his outstanding performance, he became the absolute main force and core of this team, let the coach develop tactics around him, and let all teammates cooperate with him.

No one said to him again at this time: "Because you are Chinese."

People ignore his nationality, only know that this is a super genius, what he shows is intoxicating and cheering, and he does not care whether he is Chinese or not.

Gao Zheng thought he had defeated this implicit discrimination.

From now on, no one will treat him differently because of his Chinese identity.

He and European players will be on the same starting line and compete equally.

As a result, he heard this sentence again from his agent Viviano.

"Because you are Chinese, if you move their cake, you will naturally target you," Viviano explained further. "Did you notice that someone has started to pay attention to whether you can get the best shooter of the season?"

Gao Zheng nodded. He did hear this question from the reporter before. What he answered at the time was that it was too early to discuss this question.

But it seems that in the eyes of some people, it is not early...

"That's it. You are a Chinese. The higher your achievements in football in this country, the more embarrassing it will be for some people. As you know, Italy is actually a very exclusive country ..." Viviano explained a little embarrassingly, after all, he was talking bad things about his own country.

"Now just take the contradiction between Donald Rumah and you, it is very light, so light that you can choose to ignore it, and it will not affect you. But in the future, I believe there will be more things to find It’s impossible for you to avoid seeing you at that time. So you have to be mentally prepared, Gao Zheng. The problems in football are not simply solved with football..."

Gao Zheng shook his head: "No, Andrea. The problem with football is that it can be solved with football."

Andre Viviano looked at him strangely.

"I had this problem when I first went to Wismara. To play, I had to pay more than the rest of the team and perform better, twice as much as theirs. Good. But I ended up being the core of which team. I didn’t give the coach a gift, nor did I deliberately have a good relationship with my teammates. I was just two times better than them, so the natural head coach liked me, teammate We also like me. So you see..." Gao Zheng spread his hands. "When I'm strong enough, football is just football."

Viviano didn't expect Gao Zheng to have such an idea. He was surprised at first, but later thought carefully, he thought Gao Zheng was right. As long as you have an absolute advantage in strength, what's the point of outside disturbance?

Does Gao Zheng have such strength?

Of course there are, there must be, there must be!

Viviano thought so.

"It's actually very simple. If someone can't see me well, then I can't let them do it. In fact, I haven't really considered taking golden boots before, but now that some people will feel embarrassed, then I still have this golden boot Must take it." Gao Zheng laughed.

Viviano found out that Gao Zheng really likes to laugh after acting as an agent for Gao Zheng. But Gao Zheng's smile does not mean friendliness. In fact, on Gao Zheng's face, smile has many different meanings.

This smile is full of murderous in Viviano's eyes.

He remembered that a bookmaker had offered odds for the Serie A Golden Boot winner this season. Although Gao Zheng is ranked first on the list, it is not unprofitable in terms of odds.

He is thinking about letting his wife use the money to buy Gao Zheng for the Serie A gold boots this season.

Otherwise, if you wait until the second half of the season, you don’t have to buy it, because there must be no suspense...

The next day, Gao Zheng, who had finished his day off, returned to the Mugnani training base and met the group of Chinese students.

"We are here to support you! Your performance in "Beacon Derby" is so handsome! Don't pay attention to those stupid media!"

The international students pinched their fists and spoke excitedly to Gao Zheng.

He noticed that in the crowd, Xiao Yingying and Feng Shiyao were also there. The two were behind the crowd and did not squeeze into the first row. Among them, Xiao Yingying was still squinting at herself, but Feng Shiyao standing beside her seemed calm. .

Gao Zheng withdrew his gaze, then smiled at the foreign students: "Thank you."

At this time, some of the foreign students suddenly asked, "Well, Zheng... You have scored thirteen goals now. Can we also look forward to this season's golden boots?"

Gao Zheng nodded: "Of course, why not take it? Certainly take the golden boots."

Hearing him say this, the international students cheered.

"Awesome! You will be the first Chinese football player to win golden boots in the top five leagues!"

"What is the first person in Chinese football? It is the first person in Asian football!"

Xiao Yingying was a little strange, and asked softly in the ear of Feng Shiyao: "I remember that when he was interviewed the day before yesterday, he also said that he would not consider golden boots..."

"We are not journalists," Feng Shiyao said.

"So he is making us happy?"

"It is not necessary to slander us like a reporter." Feng Shiyao said.

"So he said the truth?" Xiao Yingying surprised.

"Of course."

"So confident?" Xiao Yingying stared at Feng Shiyao with wide eyes.

"Don't you think he has always been confident?"

"No, no, I don't mean him, I mean you." Xiao Yingying poked Feng Shiyao, "You are so confident in the handsome guy? Is there any tacit agreement between the two of you that I don't know..."

Feng Shiyao's face was quiet, but his hand pinched Xiao Yingying underneath, and cut off Xiao Yingying's nonsense.
