Mazzorati had the feeling of being watched by a beast, which made him uncomfortable.

When he was defending Gao Zheng head-on, he discovered the source of that feeling - what appeared to be in front of him was not a human being, but a beast!

He is not the kind of ferocious lion, tiger or giant bear, but more like a wolf lurking in the grass. When he crouches down, people can't feel his existence at all, only when he leaps out from the hiding place , the prey will be surprised to find that the opponent has already killed it right under their noses!

Mazzorati was looking around to observe the situation just now, so he didn't notice Gao Zheng's position and existence at all, but when he didn't pass the ball for a long time, when the black shadow pounced on him, his hairs stood on end, and he felt it instantly. Danger. At that time, my mind was blank, and I couldn't think about it at all, so I kicked the football out of the nearest sideline reflexively.

From being unaware to feeling the danger is just a split second. If you react slower, you will be killed by the wolf's claws.

Things aren't much better now though.

Because he found the wolf, but he couldn't get rid of the wolf.

The feeling of being stared at by wolves was overwhelming, making him restless.

This is a human's instinctive reaction to danger, and he can't control it.

Silio discovered that Gao Zheng, a striker with a wide range of activities, suddenly narrowed his area of ​​activity, and kept talking directly to Mazzorati.

"Gao took the ball and tried to pass Mazzorati. He was pedaling a bicycle outside the penalty area, and Mazzorati didn't dare to stretch his legs at all..."

"Gao leaned on Mazzorati and raised his hand for the ball... Beautiful! Heel pass! The football went between Mazzorati's legs, which would have been the case if Pozzi hadn't thought of it A great opportunity for Sampdoria!"

"After Gao made a fake move to dribble the ball to the side, he suddenly turned the football to the inside, and then shot directly! Mazzorati didn't expect it at all, and was pulled out of the shooting space... Fortunately, this The ball went over the bar!"

"High-strength Mazorati! Beautiful breakthrough, he went in! Wow! Mazorati's tackle, tackled the football out of the baseline! This is a very clean tackle, although it is in the penalty area, but No foul..."

Although Silio was praising Mazzorati's defense this time, Mazzorati's face in the camera showed no excitement of a successful defense. On the contrary, he opened his mouth and was panting heavily, looking very tired. Faced with the fierce action of goalkeeper Pomini slapping his shoulder,

He didn't respond either.

He turned to look at Gao Zheng.

Finding that Gao Zheng was also looking at him, he didn't feel the annoyance and regret after his attack was destroyed. After seeing his gaze, he even smiled at him!

The uneasiness in Mazzorati's heart became more and more intense.

He couldn't say why, but his intuition was constantly reminding him of danger.

"Gao seems to be targeting Mazzorati..." In front of Sassuolo's coaching bench, assistant coach Andre Tarozzi told coach Pia what he had observed. "But Mazzorati did a good job. He withstood the pressure. The tackle just now was really decisive and accurate. There was no problem. Although we conceded a goal, our defense performed well."

When he said this, Tarozzi expressed pride in this line of defense.

Sassuolo did not perform well last season, not to mention being promoted, and almost relegated. In the end, they ranked 16th, scored 42 goals, conceded 46 goals, and their defense was a mess.

After the new coach Pia took office in the new season, he will pay close attention to the team's defense.

Through the joint efforts of all colleagues in the coaching staff, Sassuolo is now the team with the second fewest conceded goals in the entire second division. The improvement of defense has also brought about the improvement of the team's performance. So Sassuolo is currently ranked second, and even reached the top position at the highest point.

Pia also nodded, and was also satisfied with the performance of the defense line he had personally trained.

When Sampdoria took a corner kick, Mazzorati was defending in front of the goal, but he cared about Gao Zheng. He searched for his target in the dense crowd, and then saw Gao Zheng on the penalty area line.

This surprised him a little. He didn't expect Gao Zheng to be so far away from the goal.

He obviously has the tallest height in Sampdoria except goalkeeper Romero, but he doesn't compete for the top in front of the goal... What is he doing?

Mazzorati didn't have time to think about it, and Sampdoria's corner had already been taken.

Goalkeeper Pomini took the initiative, jumped up and punched the football out.

As the football flew out of the penalty area, the Sassuolo players who had shrunk in front of the goal rushed forward collectively, intending to create an offside trap for the Sampdoria players who remained in the penalty area.

This can be regarded as a routine tactic in corner kick defense.

The kicked football did land at the feet of the Sampdoria players.

The full-back Rispoli, who stayed near the center line to defend, pressed forward and stopped the flying football, then looked up at the penalty area, and then made a long pass over the top and passed the football back to Sassuolo's penalty area.

"Rispoli's long pass... I'm a little anxious, many Sampdoria players are still offside..."

Those Sampdoria players who hadn't had time to run out of the penalty area must have been offside at this time. These people obviously knew this, so they ran back with their heads down without even watching the football.

But there are exceptions.

Gao Zheng, who was originally standing on the penalty area line, was not offside. Instead of retreating, he did the opposite and ran retrograde into the penalty area.

Mazorati was still paying attention to Gao Zheng when he was pressing forward. When he saw Gao Zheng rushing into the penalty area, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

If Gao Zheng is allowed to catch the ball behind them, the offside tactic will fail!

Thinking of this, Mazzorati quickly retreated, changed direction and rushed towards Gao Zheng.

But he was too busy caring about Gao Zheng, but completely ignored his central defender partner Piccioni who was right behind him.

Piccioni also noticed Gao Zheng's reverse advance. He is actually more suitable to defend Gao Zheng, after all, he is closer to Gao Zheng. So he also rushed to Gao Zheng.

As a result, at this moment, Mazzorati turned around and rushed back, and then bumped into Piccione...

Just as the two of them hugged each other and fell to the ground, the football fell from the air. Gao Zheng raised his foot to lightly unload the ball under his feet, and then swung his foot to shoot without any defense.

In the face of this almost playing the same shot in training, goalkeeper Pomini completely powerless.

The football flew into Sassuolo's goal for the second time!

"Rispoli's long pass... I'm a little anxious, many Sampdoria players are still offside... Hey, wait... Mazzorati... Oops! This defensive error is really fatal... …Gao was completely undefended! He stopped the football and scored an easy goal! Scored twice! Sampdoria leads Sassuolo 2-0 away! "

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng did not run wildly to celebrate, but turned around and ran towards Ripoli who passed the ball to him. While running, he spread his hands to express his surprise to the passing teammates-he didn't expect this The ball can come so easily, the opposing defender's low-level mistakes are too sudden.

And Mazzorati lay on the ground, covering his face with his hands.

He didn't need to get up to confirm, he knew that the goal must have been scored.

It was his mistake. If he hadn't retreated suddenly in a hurry, how could he have collided with Piccione?

If he hadn't bumped into Piccione, maybe Piccione himself would have been able to guard Gao Zheng.

This shouldn't have been a scoring...

Thinking of this, Mazzorati felt extremely painful.

The wolf finally pounced on him when he was exhausted, and then bit him...

Just now, Pia was proud and proud of the defensive performance he had personally trained. In a blink of an eye, he saw the two starting central defenders collide in his penalty area, which led to Gao Zheng being unmarked and scoring easily.

This is simply a rollover scene.

He stared dumbfounded at the two main central defenders who fell in the penalty area.

It's not that he has never seen a defensive error, but he has never seen such a face-slapping defensive error-only after performing the performance of the defenders, he was slapped in the face, so can't stand the praise?

Pia suddenly wanted to swear.
