Chapter 321 Prepare for the Champions League

The "Lighthouse Derby" was killed, even though the first half wasn't over yet. bookmark our website

But look at Gao Zheng's state, look at Sampdoria's momentum, and then look at Genoa's performance. Any fool should know that it is very difficult for Genoa to come back in this game.

What Gao Zheng showed is that as long as he is still on the court, even if he doesn't continue to score goals, he can act as a deterrent to Genoa, making Genoa dare not act rashly.

At this time, Gao Zheng changed from a conventional weapon to a strategic deterrent weapon.

However, not long after the start of the second half, to everyone's surprise, Di Francesco made the first substitution adjustment at the fifty-fifth minute of the game. Gao Zheng!

"This...Gao Zheng was replaced in advance?" Liu Hong was surprised and disappointed. For Gao Zheng, who had already completed a hat-trick, he still expected to see Gao Zheng score more goals...

Moreover, Gao Zheng was replaced so early, which also surprised him. In fact, in the last season, everyone has gradually ignored the problem of Gao Zheng's poor physical fitness. He has become less and less, and he has not even been replaced midway in advance, and the occasional rotation and rest are rare.

What does this mean?

It shows that physical fitness is no longer the shackles that imprison Gao Zhengzhan.

So it is absolutely impossible to replace Gao Zheng thirty-five minutes earlier because Gao Zheng's physical fitness is not good.

Besides, the league has just started now, and the schedule is not too intensive. After a summer of reserves, how can there be physical problems?

Since it wasn't because of physical problems, why was Gao Zheng replaced in advance?

Did he get injured in the first half of the game?

But think carefully about the first half,

I didn't see Gao Zheng was injured again.

Judging from his performance in the ten minutes of the second half, there was no sign of injury.

The TV broadcast was aimed at Gao Zheng, who was replaced in advance. He didn't seem to be surprised at all. When the fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign to signal that he was replaced, he simply turned around and walked to the sidelines with no expression on his face. Any expression of displeasure.

Being replaced so early, but not caring...

Could it be that the head coach discussed it in advance?

※※※

Seeing that Gao Zheng was replaced so early in advance, the guests in the bar were very dissatisfied. They were not supporters of Sampdoria, and they didn't care about the "Lighthouse Derby". They came to see Gao Zheng. As a result, Gao Zheng left the game so early, what are you watching for the remaining 35 minutes of the game?

Not only in this bar, but also in other places, there are similar complaints.

Some people, like the reporters, were wondering if Gao Zheng was injured, and worried about him.

※※※

When Icardi was warming up at the Meazza Stadium, he heard the voice of the Inter Milan fans shouting for him. Although he only came to play two league games, his hat-trick in the last round of the league made him quickly become the first player of Inter Milan. The fans' favorite new aid, he also appeared on the front page of the last issue of Gazzetta dello Sport.

But now he is not complacent because of his achievements. During the warm-up, he is still very focused and hardworking, turning a deaf ear to those shouts.

Just before starting the warm-up, he heard the news that Gao Zheng had completed a hat-trick in the "Lighthouse Derby", so Gao Zheng surpassed himself with four goals.

Gao Zheng and Hamsik are now tied for first place on the scorer list with four goals, while Icardi scored three goals and temporarily ranks second.

This aroused Icardi's fighting spirit.

The reason why he left Sampdoria was so that he could compete with Gao Zheng unscrupulously at this time.

With this kind of emotion, Icardi was extraordinarily involved in the warm-up, and the coach of Inter Milan, Mazzari, nodded secretly.

After the warm-up, Icardi returned to the locker room. He took out his mobile phone to pay attention to the "Lighthouse Derby" between Sampdoria and Genoa. At this time, the game had been played for almost 70 minutes.

He was shocked to find that Gao Zheng was no longer on the field!

After searching again, he was replaced at the fifty-fifth minute!

What the hell is this!

Are we not competitors? You're only one goal ahead of me, and you're out of the game with thirty-five minutes left?

Icardi stared at the phone for a while, remembering Gao Zheng's attitude towards him - he never regarded himself as an opponent.

So is it also true that this game was replaced early?

It was because he didn't regard himself as an opponent that he left the field so early in a good state?

Icardi originally thought that his hat-trick in the last round of the league was enough to attract Gao Zheng's attention and regarded him as a competitor on the scorer list.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng was so calm and breezy, completing a hat-trick in more than 30 minutes, and then went off to rest early in the second half.

He was very upset, very angry.

Do you think you can sit back and relax after you are one ball ahead of me?

I will make you regret it!

After Gao Zheng left the field, Genoa's offensive finally recovered a bit.

It did bring some trouble to Sampdoria, after all, Sampdoria had used up three substitutions early.

Genoa pulled one back in the 79th minute.

But that's all.

The lead of three goals is very huge, and Sampdoria is still playing at home, which has a great advantage.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Genoa 3:1 at home and won the first "Lighthouse Derby" victory of the new season. This is also their first victory in the league this season, with three points.

After the game, Gao Zheng, who was named the best player, was interviewed by reporters.

Everyone is most concerned about his early exit.

How did Gao Zheng respond to this: "I am not injured, and I am not physically exhausted. In fact, this is what I discussed with the coach before the game. I will not play the whole game in this game, and I will definitely replace it in advance. , but the specific time to be replaced depends on the situation of the game at that time, if the situation is good, it will be early, if the situation is not good, it will be late..."

A reporter couldn't help but interrupted and asked: "Then if the game has been very stalemate, even if Sampdoria is behind, will they be replaced in advance?"

Gao Zheng glanced at him: "How is it possible? This is our home stadium, we must win Genoa."

"I mean if, if..."

"No if." Gao Zheng shook his head. "Facts have also proved that there is no such if."

Another reporter asked: "Is the early substitution because of the Champions League in the next week?"

That's what the reporters speculated after seeing Di Francesco's subsequent early replacement of the other two main players, but their guesses need to be verified.

Gao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's for the Champions League. Midweek is our Champions League group match, and everyone attaches great importance to this game..."

"But this is the 'Lighthouse Derby', isn't it taken seriously?"

Gao Zheng showed a surprised expression: "Why do you say that? We also attach great importance to this derby, so you see, we scored three goals in the first half, just to ensure that we can win this game and let more People have time to rest."

Hearing Gao Zheng's answer, the reporters were speechless: I dare you to be so aggressive in the first half to ensure that the team can win, so that you can go down to rest earlier? In doing this, do you still take Genoa seriously?

Lu Bing and Wang Yixing looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words: "Let's worry about Genoa for two seconds."

Frécello raised his hand and asked, "How do you feel about the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of next week?"

"We have been waiting for this game since the results of the grouping. We have prepared for this game for a long time... Everyone will go all out." Gao Zheng answered quite well.

Frécello continued to ask: "Are you confident to score points at home?"

This time Gao Zheng did not give a satisfactory answer, but nodded directly: "Of course, the home game is for all three points!"
