"... Sampdoria's away game against Bari has gone to the 65th minute. The current score is 1:1. In the 26th minute of the game, Sampdoria played away with horses. Simo Volta's header from a corner took the lead. But Sampdoria's defense faltered after Volta went off injured towards the end of the first half... in the second half. In the fifty-eighth minute, Barry equalized and it was Martino Borg who scored the goal... Iachini is about to make a substitution, and Gao is back at the coach's bench!"

At this point, the narrator Valentino Ciglio raised the volume.

He remembered the last league game, how Sampdoria reversed Vicenza at home.

I don't know why, although he only watched Gao Zheng's game, he also has some expectations for this young Chinese genius, and wants to see how he will perform if he comes off the bench again.

Lu Bing and Wang Yixing also noticed this scene on the sidelines, and they all concentrated their energy.

This time Gao Zheng didn't go to warm up for a few minutes before coming back, because he went to warm up ten minutes ago, and now he has just been called back from the warm-up area.

Soon after the assistant coach Carrillo finished explaining the tactical requirements, Iachini patted Gao Zheng on the shoulder and walked with him to the fourth official.

The fourth official joined them on the sidelines holding a substitution sign.

This is 100% to replace Gao Zheng.

Lu Bing and Wang Yixing looked at Gao Zheng's figure with completely different expressions.

The former was both excited and looking forward to it, while the latter frowned slightly, as if he had something on his mind.

As soon as Lu Bing turned his head, he saw Wang Yixing's appearance, and he poked the opponent with his elbow: "Don't worry about what's there and what's not. You should be happy to score two goals!"

"These two balls have whetted everyone's appetite, in case there is a ups and downs in his performance..." Wang Yixing is really a firm pessimist.

Lu Bing shook his head: "It's normal for players to have ups and downs. I don't believe that our fans don't even have such a simple judgment ability, and they don't even understand basic common sense. So don't think so much. If you want me to say that even Gao Zheng If you don't score a game, it's no big deal..."

Gao Zheng replaced Pozzi, who was also a striker, and partnered with Bertani.

The task given to him by Iachini is very simple, that is, to create opportunities for the team to score goals after playing. With Gao Zheng's technical characteristics, he can not only score goals, but also connect the team's midfield and frontcourt. When the team encounters difficulties in offense, he may play to find new opportunities for the team's offense. Solutions.

Gao Zheng has achieved this many times when he played in the reserve team.

After Iachini took over Sampdoria, he also specially went to understand Gao Zheng's performance in the reserve team, got some game videos, and studied the game videos carefully. Gao Zheng's understanding is probably far better than that of Atzoli...

After playing, Gao Zheng did not stay in the penalty area honestly, but continued his playing characteristics of cruising around.

Use your own skills and vision to help the team sort out the offense.

Although there are no threatening shots and passes so far, he has performed very calmly, and people can't help but ignore his age when they see him playing football.

"Look, don't be stage-frightened, just behave calmly." Lu Bing said to Wang Yixing. "I think you can stop worrying about him."

Wang Yixing didn't speak.

After the equalizer, Barry's morale was high all the time, and he planned to score another goal before the end of the game and finally win the game.

After all, this is their home court, and of course they cannot accept the result of a tie at their home court.

Before this game, Barry ranked sixteenth in the league,

This ranking is very close to the relegation zone, and it is also very dangerous. In order to ensure that he can continue to stay in the second division next season, Barry is of course very concerned about every home score.

So in fact, before Gao Zheng entered the field, Barry's offensive was very violent.

Gao Zheng's playing did not seem to make Barry's offensive and defensive restraint, or in the view of Barry's head coach Torrent, it was Barry's opportunity for Sampdoria to replace Gao Zheng as a striker, because it meant that Sampdoria Doria is not reconciled to scoring a point in the away game. They still want to win. Since they don't want to stick to it, Barry still has a chance to score.

Gao Zheng got his first shot in the eighth minute of the game, but his shot was under the close defense of Bari defender Luca Cepitelli. The moment he was hit by Cepitelli, he lost his balance, resulting in a weak shot.

The shot was easily picked up by Bari goalkeeper Eusinio Lamanna.

When Lamanna received Gao Zheng's shot in the posture of receiving a pass back, the Barry fans from behind his stand let out a burst of laughter.

Obviously they felt that Gao Zheng's shot was simply a pass back to the goalkeeper!

Goalkeeper Lamanna also gave the defensive Cepitelli a thumbs up.

Cepitelli cast his eyes on Gao Zheng with a look of disdain.

This is the Chinese genius who came off the bench in the last game and scored twice?

He felt that when he leaned forward, he hadn't exerted much force when the opponent's body was crooked...

With this strength, he was able to score two goals in the last game?

When did Vicenza's defenders become so incompetent?

I don't know what kind of shit luck this kid had in the last game...

Cepitelli snorted in his heart.

The head coach of Sampdoria actually let this Chinese man play. In his opinion, it was a desperate situation. What can such physical confrontation ability do in the game?

※※※

Lamanna threw the ball in his hand to attack, and he threw the football directly into the midfield. The Sampdoria players who participated in the attack before all began to return to defense. Gao Zheng was no exception, but he didn't run fast.

Barry's attack did not succeed. When they advanced to the 30-meter area of ​​Sampdoria, the forward pass was cut off.

Sampdoria then pushed the ball closer to the halfway line.

At this time, Gao Zheng had just retreated to the midfield. When he saw the football being passed to the captain Palumbo in the midfield, he suddenly turned around and ran forward!

After receiving the ball, Palumbo looked up and saw Gao Zheng running forward. He knew what he was going to do, so he passed the football up without hesitation.

When Gao Zheng ran past Cepitelli, Cepitelli switched his attention from football and found a more threatening target, so he turned and chased after him.

Cepitelli intends to repeat the same trick again, leaning his body against Gao Zheng, using his physical advantage to slightly interfere with Gao Zheng, preventing him from receiving the ball.

He knows how difficult it is to stop such a long pass from behind.

Of course, you should also pay attention to the amount of force in the process of squeezing, not too obvious or too strong, otherwise if the other party falls down in response, wouldn't you be at a loss?

So Cepitelli squeezed towards Gao Zheng with his arms crossed.

With his height of 1.89 meters and weight of 85 kilograms, when he leaned towards Gao Zheng, it was like a concrete wall collapsed.

Just like last time, the Chinese must be unstoppable.

As it turned out, Gao Zheng was indeed slightly pushed away by him, to the outside.

At the same time, the football flew through the gap after Gao Zheng was squeezed away.

Cepitelli expected Gao Zheng to lose his balance and fail to stop the ball. The scene did not happen. He saw that Gao Zheng was still running and had no intention of stopping to catch the ball.

But the football just landed on his raised left thigh, and it didn't bounce back as if it had hit a ball of cotton. Instead, it jumped slightly and fell, as if it was a coincidence. On the instep of Gao Zheng's left foot, the right leg was swung forward to push the football forward. At the same time, he accelerated forward and got rid of Cepitelli's defense just like that!

"Palombo's long ball...beautiful stop -! High!! He goes in!"

Accompanied by the screams of the commentator Silio, Gao Zheng rushed into the penalty area and chased after the football.

And Barry's goalkeeper Lamanna also decisively abandoned the goal at this time-after Cepitelli was freed, he was the last person standing in front of Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng didn't look up to observe the situation in front of him. After catching up with the football in a big stride, he swung his right foot and shot directly!

Goalkeeper Lamanna dives sideways into the near corner.

But the football flew from his side to the far corner, and didn't stop until it hit the net!

PS, this ball was inspired by Messi's only goal in this World Cup.
