Chapter 168: Disapproval

Among the twenty teams in Serie A, Sampdoria is one of the few teams to print the portrait's graphic on the team's logo. Under the background of blue, red, and black oblique strips, a silhouette of a sailor holding a pipe is located in the middle of the team's logo.

Genoa, the city of Sampdoria, is not only the hometown of Columbus, but also the prison of Marco Polo. This port city at the southern end of the Apennines has the deepest sailor complex, and their teams are named after the famous sailor Doria.

If blue represents reason and black represents nobility, then the seductive red represents fire-like passion. The Sampdoria team, which has long been regarded as a symbol of the city, has set sail in the stormy waves for many years, creating the most passionate team and shaking the most beautiful waves.

It is precisely for this reason that Sampdoria is also called "Sailor" by fans who like him. Many of Sampdoria's fan organizations are named after the word "Sailor". For example, the "Azure Blue Mariner" is a very famous Sampdoria fan organization in Genoa.

The 1980s and 1990s were the most glorious era in Sampdoria.

At that time, Sampdoria had talented attackers like Mancini, Lombardo and Viali in the frontcourt, and also had stabilizing needles like Veljoward and goalkeeper Paliuka in the back line. Sampdoria, who had a gorgeous playing style, was one of the most outstanding teams in the Apennines at that time. At that time, Sampdoria was also called "Golden Sampdoria" by fans.

The Azure Sailors, a hardcore Sampdoria fan organization, was established at that time.

These fans were lucky enough to witness the team's 1985 Cup of Italy and pioneered a glorious period of Blue Mariners.

In 1988, 89, the second second in the European Cup of Winners in 1989, the second second in the European Cup of Winners in 1990, the Italian League, the double champion of the Super Cup, the second second in the European Cup of Champions in 1992...

A series of brilliant achievements witnessed the unparalleled passion of this young team and the happiest period of time for Sampdoria fans. At that time, Sampdoria was the pride of the city of Genoa.

It was also from that time that in this harbour city, Sampdoria's number of fans began to quickly surpass the same-city opponent Genoa. To this day, Sampdoria is still the most supported team by Genoa. Among the many Sampdoria fan organizations, Azure Mariners have become one of the few fan organizations with huge influence.

Whenever Sampdoria's home game, the fans of the Blue Mariners will appear on time in the south stand of the home team's Malasi Stadium, lined up neatly to cheer for the team, regardless of the weather, and every game will not fall!

However, no matter how beautiful the opera is, there is a moment of his curtain call; no matter how great the dynasty is, there is a day when he overthrows it.

In 1999, this day finally came. Sampdoria was tragically demoted.

When everything was over, when the angry Sampdoria fans took the faucet to the stadium, sprayed into the stadium, and vented their anger, a giant banner like this suddenly appeared in the south stand of the Malasi Stadium.

"Love can kill time, but time can never kill love. Sampdoria, we will always be with you!"

This is how the fans of the Azure Mariners are expressing their unyielding feelings for the team in their own way.

In an instant, the Marasi Stadium was filled with warmth.

What's the point of adding icing on the cake? It's a timely help to warm people's hearts!

This is the cuteness of Sampdoria's loyal fans, this is the Azure Mariner!

However, it may not be a time to get along well between Sampdoria and the Azure Mariners. In the second half of last year, when the team's ace star Casano and chairman Garonne fell in love, the Azure Mariners who like Casano had some minor conflicts with the club.

However, Casano made a mistake first, so fans who like him were not good at saying anything about their idols.

However, when the club was preparing to force Casano away with a suspension of training and games, fans began to complain about the club.

You should know that Casano is the most famous and skilled player in Sampdoria's team. His role in the team is very obvious on the court. Especially his perfect performance with Pazini makes fans recall Sampdoria's golden age gold medal partners, Mancini and Lombardo.

It was led by two ace forwards, Casano and Pacini, that Sampdoria won the fourth place in the league last season and created a magical record of unbeaten at home.

However, just as Sampdoria fans were looking forward to the team's glory of "Golden Samp", the team suddenly heard news of internal strife. Chief star Casano and team chairman Garone got angry because of a small matter, which caused panic among the team, causing the team's performance to fluctuate.

How do Sampdoria fans accept this?

As a result, just this winter, before the transfer period began, team chairman Garone spent 2 million euros to buy out Casano's contract and directly gave the top star aside to AC Milan.

This unexpected move greatly dissatisfied Sampdoria's loyal fans. In the eyes of the fans, Chairman Garone's behavior undoubtedly made Sampdoria's revival step back.

However, Casano's behavior was a self-destruction, and he was the first to provoke the Chairman. Although Garonne's behavior seemed reckless, it was considered a reason for the incident, and fans could barely accept it.

If after sending Casano away, Garone can bring one or two well-known scorers to Sampdoria and make up for the negative impact Casano left on the team, fans can all understand Garone's behavior.

However, shortly after sending Casano away, Garone immediately sold the team's hope star and Marylengo, who was highly anticipated by Sampdoria fans.

Marylengo was born in 1989 and is the main player of the Italian national youth team. He is a star among the top new generation players of the Apennines. When Marylengo was 21 years old, he began to represent Sampdoria's first team in Serie A, and successfully grew into an indispensable member of the team.

Marylengo is an excellent second striker and can also play the role of a winger or center. He has strong running ability, good dribbling skills, excellent cooperation awareness, outstanding feeling and shooting skills in front of the goal. He is also produced by Sampdoria youth training camp, who is well-deserved.

In the eyes of Sampdoria fans, Marilengo represents Sampdoria's future and is one of the cornerstones of the team's future rejuvenation.

However, just when they were expecting their young players to make achievements for the team, club chairman Garone sold the promising supernova to Atlanta for 5 million euros without warning.

The midfielders were sold one by one, which made the fans very angry. In terms of team recruitment, the club not only did not buy the striker, but also spent a lot of money to buy a goalkeeper under the age of 18, which made Sampdoria's fans even more angry.

"What's Garro's doing? Is he trying to destroy the team?"

Aidaldo Burundit punched the table with a heavy punch. The huge impact force caused the two coffee cups placed on the flat table to shake.

The dark brown coffee splashed, partly on a stack of newspapers spread on the table, and partly splashed. Another gentle man wearing glasses sitting on the left side of the table could not dodge, and a few drops of coffee were stained on the lenses.

"Hey, I said, Aidardo. You are not happy and don't need to take the table to vent your anger! And you've also dirtyed my lenses!"

The gentle man took off his glasses helplessly, took out the glasses cloth and wiped the lens carefully, and complained to Burundit.

"snort!"

Burundit didn't care at all.

"Tomorrow, we will face Udinese at home. Will you still go to this game?"

Burundit asked.

"Go, of course you have to go. As the leader of the Azure Sailor, if you don't go, wouldn't you let the boring people on the other side laugh at it?"

The gentle man carefully wiped the lenses and replied inadvertently.

"Damn, I don't want to go! The team is still alive now, and the fool Garone is messing around, so I'm extremely depressed!"

"Haha! Every time you say that, it turns out that time was not the first time you went to the stadium, and it was like entering a bridal chamber."

The gentle man looked up at Burundit and teased lightly.

"Matya, your brain works well, and you can change your mind the fastest in transfers. What do you think of the Chinese player we signed recently?"

Burundit ignored the jokes of the bad friend, pointed to the newspaper on the table and asked.

This newspaper is the largest local newspaper Republic of Genoa, which has the largest circulation in Genoa. The headlines of the newspaper's sports edition report on the press conference in Chu Jiang yesterday.

On the front page, Chu Jiang's photos are clearly visible. He was standing with the team's general manager Tossi, showing his unique No. 9-8 jersey in his hand, with a confident and determined look.

Above this photo, the title is the famous quote from Emperor Caesar quoted by Chu Jiang at the press conference.

"veni,vidi,vici! (I come, I see, I conquer)"

Hearing this question from his old friend, Mattia Vagrino couldn't help but frown. He shook his head and looked at Chu Jiang in the photo helplessly.

Obviously, Vargno was not very satisfied with the club's transfer. Moreover, he was also disgusted with Chu Jiang's arrogant words.

"That player used to play in Turin in Serie B. It is said that he has good abilities and the media has a high opinion of him."

"I watched videos of his several games. I did have the level and had more potential. I might have become a good player in the past."

"However, it is difficult to estimate his future achievements. It is hard to say whether he will become the next Padley. If he can grow to Kurchi's level, it should be very good."

"The most important thing is that our team does not lack goalkeepers, especially young goalkeepers. Kurchi, Dacosta, and Fiorillo are even younger. Even if Kurchi performs averagely, we need to introduce goalkeepers, and we should introduce goalkeepers like Castellachi, rather than kids like that Chinese goalkeeper."

"And, after Casano and Marillengo both left the team, our creativity in the midfield and frontcourt was seriously insufficient. In the last few games, the team has exposed this problem. Although Pacini is very capable, he is a powerful center who grabs the point type and does not have strong ability to create opportunities. Without strong support, his performance has also declined a lot compared to before."

"What we need most is a passer who can create opportunities for Pacini, not a low-level league goalkeeper with no experience. I can't understand what Tosi and his group think in this deal."

"In my opinion, such a transfer is simply foolish! If we can't buy a good midfielder before the winter transfer period, we will basically have no chance this season."

Speaking of this, Vagrino couldn't help but sigh.

"I'll just say, a little brat, spending 3 million fucking money, Tosi and Garone are so fucking ***!"

"I have thought about the slogan for the next game, ***Garone, ***'s transfer!"

Burundit said angrily.

"Haha, Burundit, although you always come up with bad ideas, the slogans this time sounded pretty good!"

Vagrino teased.

"Ha, Mattia, you know how to laugh at me! To be honest, have you thought about the slogan for the next game?"

Burundit asked.

"It's almost the same. In fact, the general meaning is similar to what you said. We must use our actions to remind the team not to go further and further on the wrong route! If they don't repent and want to sell Pacini, I guess we may be scrambling to live in the second division next season!"

"Uh, probably not, Garone shouldn't have done that. If we sell Pacini, we really have nothing left. In that case, he might as well sell the team directly!"

Burundit smiled, not caring about his friends' speculations.

"Hmph, who knows! Maybe this Chairman, who is in the brain, will really do this."

Vagrino shrugged and said helplessly.

Vagrino would never have thought that his words would come true.

In Chu Jiang's previous life, Garone said that Casano was sent to AC Milan, and then sent the top scorer Pacini to Inter Milan at the last moment of the winter transfer period. As a result, Sampdoria, who had a huge loss in strength, lost consecutive games. Before the season ended, this team ranked fourth last season "locked" a relegation quota a few rounds in advance this season...

The team participating in the Champions League at the beginning of the season was demoted to Class B at the end of the season. Who would have thought of such a thing?

Compared with the relegated team last season, Sampdoria now has one more player, the Chinese teenager Chu Jiang from Turin.

In Turin, Chu Jiang successfully changed the trajectory of the Turin team in the first half of the season and gave the team the throne of Serie B. Now, we have come to Genoa. Can this magical genius boy continue his magic without being accepted by Sampdoria fans?

At the Boliasco training base in Sampdoria, Chujiang is working hard to prepare for the Italian Cup in Udinese.

With the help of captain Palonbo, the cooperation between Chu Jiang and his teammates was obviously more tacit than when he first came. However, the requirements for the game were still a little worse.

The best way to cultivate tacit understanding is to play the game. Therefore, Chu Jiang is full of expectations for the upcoming Italian Cup.
