Prominence in Football Community

After the start of the second half of the game, De Sciglio paid close attention to observing Gao Zheng's movements. As long as he moved to an area close to his side, he would go over to help defend.

With Gao Zheng's activity, AC Milan also shifted the focus of defense to his side. When he was always facing several people defending there, he would naturally consider changing the direction.

So De Sciglio still has a chance.

Seven minutes into the second half, Gao Zheng got a chance. He switched to Bonera's side. When he swung his right foot to shoot, Bonera thought Gao Zheng was going to shoot, so he quickly gave up his center of gravity and blocked the shot with his body.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng was just a feint. The landing of his right foot was not a shot, but a smash. He kicked the football to the left, and then he turned around and shot with his left foot!

De Sciglio was standing next to him and got ready. When Gao Zheng was about to shoot with his right foot, he was unmoved. After seeing Gao Zheng dunk Bonera, he immediately flew forward and shot Gao Zheng's football Blocked the bottom line.

"De Sciglio did a great job, he blocked Gao's shot!"

Seeing that his shot was blocked, Gao Zheng glanced at De Sciglio.

"I won't let you score again, Gao." De Sciglio said to Gao Zheng firmly.

"Then you're welcome, Mattia." Gao Zheng smiled at him.

When Gao Zheng faced Bonera, he repeated the same trick again, making a shot with his right foot, but it turned out to be a fake move. After the dunk, he swung his left foot and shot again.

De Sciglio, who was ambushing behind Bonera, stepped forward again, trying to block Gao Zheng's left-footed shot.

In the end, Gao Zheng's move was still a fake move. He swung his left foot up, but he didn't kick it down. After shaking De Sciglio, he flicked the football into the penalty area with the outside instep of his left foot, followed by a shot!

Fortunately, Abbiati's concentration was very focused this time, and he swung sideways and shot the football.

Allegri, who saw this scene in front of the coach's bench off the court, frowned. He remembered what De Sciglio said during the intermission.

Although he still couldn't understand why, the reality was before him that Gao Zheng really only shot with his left foot.

Are you really angry with AC Milan?

But... trying to beat us with one foot? What do you think of my team!

Abbiati got up from the ground,

Yelling at his teammates: "Matia is right! Guard his left foot!"

Other AC Milan players also reacted at this time. After the start of the second half, Gao Zheng shot with his left foot in both shots, and it could be seen that he deliberately shot with his left foot. Even if the right foot has a chance to shoot, it will be buckled and replaced with the left foot. It looks like a left-hander who can't use the right foot at all.

Like Allegri, they were very puzzled by Gao Zheng's insistence on using his left foot, but now is not the time to delve into the "why". First, defend Gao Zheng to avoid throwing more balls.

De Sciglio was not happy because his teammates finally understood him. When Abbiati said this, he was looking at Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng was in the penalty area of ​​AC Milan, and he obviously heard what Abbiati said.

So he smiled and said to De Sciglio: "Matia, are you not afraid that I will suddenly switch to shooting with my right foot?"

De Sciglio shook his head: "For us, you won't. When the reserve team played, there were no Mr. Galliani and Mr. Berlusconi in the stands."

The implication is that you did this at the time, and now that there are two big guys in the stands, don't you have more energy?

Gao Zheng spread his hands and said, "Actually, the matter of the Milan laboratory has passed..."

De Sciglio stared at Gao Zheng: "I don't believe it."

Gao Zheng smiled helplessly.

When AC Milan began to target Gao Zheng's left foot, Gao Zheng's shooting threat was indeed reduced.

Gao Zheng is not the only one in Sampdoria. Gao Zheng can't shoot himself, but he can pass the football to his teammates and let them shoot.

As a center, Gao Zheng is not the kind of center who is highly dependent on his teammates and needs his teammates to assist him, but he himself can only shoot.

He is a relatively comprehensive center. He can not only score by himself, but also pass the football to his teammates, assist his teammates, and connect the frontcourt.

However, he can't shoot himself, which still has some impact on Sampdoria's offense. Sampdoria's offense is not so serial.

AC Milan's own offense improved slightly compared to the first half, but they still couldn't break through Sampdoria's goal. At this point, Shalawi was highly expected before the game, but the actual performance was disappointing.

Especially under the background of Gao Zheng...

It cannot be said that Shalawi is not working hard, but it may be that he is working too hard, only thinking about scoring goals, and ignoring other things.

He is already two goals behind Gao Zheng in terms of scoring. Now when Gao Zheng is restricted from shooting and can only pass the ball to his teammates, everyone has found that Shalawi is far inferior to Gao Zheng in terms of series attack and cooperation with teammates. ...

Some AC Milan fans even think that if Gao Zheng and Shalawi are swapped, even if Gao Zheng does not score and only relies on passing, AC Milan should now be able to lead Sampdoria by two goals.

Off the court, Allegri shook his head and told assistant coach Mauro Tassotti: "Let Pacini warm up."

Tassotti nodded. Although he didn't ask who was going to be replaced, he already knew it.

Stefan El Shalawi's performance was not as good as he wanted, and although he performed well in training, once he arrived in the game, he didn't know what to do.

Definitely have to replace him.

Now that the pressure on the back line is not so great, Allegri will definitely hope to have a breakthrough in offense. If you can score a goal and narrow the score gap with Sampdoria, then you can put pressure on Sampdoria, coupled with the home court advantage, it is not impossible to finally reverse and win...

Pacini is indeed going to replace Shalawi.

When the fourth official held up the substitution sign on the sidelines, everyone saw the number that was replaced: 92.

This is Shalawi's number.

Shalawi seemed a little unbelievable that he was replaced in more than 60 minutes. He kept pointing at himself, and Tassotti on the sidelines yelled at him impatiently: "Yes, it's you! Come down now!"

Under such circumstances, Shalawi reluctantly ran off the court.

He seemed very disappointed. After a brief handover with Pacini, he went straight to the bench without even communicating with coach Allegri.

He sat on the bench, staring at the field with absent-minded eyes.

Before the game, he was full of fighting spirit and worked hard in training, just wanting to compete with Gao Zheng in the game.

He imagined the situation between himself and Gao Zheng. He thought Gao Zheng would score, but he would definitely score too. Maybe it was Gao Zheng who scored the first goal, but he soon equalized the score, and then scored twice to overtake the score. He even thought that the worst result would be that after he equalized the score, Gao Zheng scored again, and then the team could not equalize again for a long time. He was also strictly restricted by the Sampdoria defenders until At the last moment of the game, he helped the team equalize the score, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's lack of focus after losing the ball to kill Sampdoria...

But I didn't expect that the worst result was that he was replaced early and failed to score a goal.

In the competition with Gao Zheng, he became a complete loser.

Those online comments are right, Gao Zheng is better than him!

This made Shalawi unacceptable.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sour in his eyes...

Carmona's surprised voice sounded next to him: "Stefan, are you crying?!"

Shalawi touched his face with his hands, only to find that there were tears on his cheeks, and he quickly wiped away the tears: "No, I just got sand in my eyes..."

"How can there be sand on this court..." Carmona was puzzled.

Already ignoring him, Shalawi covered his head with a sweat towel and pulled it down so that the towel covered his eyes so that the police could not easily take pictures of his face.

For the first time in his football career, the proud genius Shalawi suffered such a big blow.
