Prominence in Football Community

After the "Lighthouse Derby", there are only the last six rounds left in the league, and there is not much time left for those teams that are contending for the championship, relegation, and competing for European qualification.

The current situation in Sampdoria is a bit delicate.

Although they are ranked third, they have the same points as AC Milan and lead their opponents only by goal difference.

There is no guarantee that they will definitely qualify for the Champions League next season at the end of the season.

If you want to qualify for the Champions League, you can't make mistakes in the next game.

The league has come to the final sprint stage. The physical requirements of the players are very high, and the players also suffer from frequent injuries.

At this time, whoever can grit his teeth and hold on will have the last laugh.

On April 21, in the thirty-third round of the league, Sampdoria challenged Bologna away. They finally defeated Bologna 1:0, and Icardi scored the only goal to help the team get three points.

And the good news came from Turin-ac Milan lost to Juventus in the away game o:1.

Sampdoria now has 61 points, and AC Milan has 57 points. The difference between the two teams is four points, and Sampdoria's third position in the league is even stronger.

In the next thirty-fourth round of the league, AC Milan played against Catania at home, and Sampdoria welcomed Fiorentina at home.

In these two games, the two teams at home have ushered in a very severe test.

AC Milan fell behind twice in the game and equalized twice, and finally defeated Catania 4:2 at home with the goals of Pazzini and Balotelli.

Sampdoria fell behind 0:2 in the first half.

In the second half they launched a Jedi counterattack.

Gao Zheng, Icardi and Kosticic each scored a goal to help the team complete the reversal. However, at the last moment, in order to defend this one-goal lead, captain Gastadro led a red card for a tactical foul and was sent off. This victory also cost Sampdoria a heavy price. Next, Gastadro Tadero will be suspended for one game, which brings great hidden dangers to Sampdoria's defense...

After this round of the league, there is still a lot of uncertainty about whether Sampdoria can still cling to the top three in the league.

But there is one thing I am afraid there is no suspense.

That is the matter of who will be the top scorer in Serie A this season.

Because of scoring goals in this round of the league, Gao Zheng's goal count this season has increased to 31, while Cavani did not play at all due to suspension due to accumulation of yellow cards. But he scored a goal in the last round of the league.

But even so, Cavani scored only 23 goals, eight goals behind Gao Zheng.

With four rounds left in the league, this goal gap is almost an insurmountable moat.

After the game, Genoa's local media "Nineteenth Century" released a photo of Gao Zheng scoring a goal in the game, with the title: "The mountain is here!"

The text of the report gave Gao Zheng a lot of bragging: "...When Gao, who had already scored 13 goals at the time, announced his Golden Boot declaration after the 13th round of the league's 'Lighthouse Derby', it attracted a lot of attention. People's cynicism and fierce criticism. Critics thought Gao was too arrogant, but now it turns out that it was not hubris, but a talented player's clear awareness of his own abilities. There are four rounds left in the league, but we can already Gao's victory was announced in advance - I am not at all worried that doing so will cause Gao to be overturned by Cavani at the last moment. From what I know Gao, he is not such a stupid person. In the matter of scoring goals, His efficiency and stability are terrifying..."

This article was written by Sampdoria's team reporter Frécello. Through this report for more than a season, everyone knows that he is the number one boaster. No matter how much criticism Gao Zheng faces, he will remain steadfast Standing on Gao Zheng's side and advocating for Gao Zheng, many people who don't like Gao Zheng hate him, and there are even many malicious conjectures, such as he has relatives in China, and he accepts financial support from a Chinese consortium What……

But now that Gao Zheng's results were in front of everyone, no matter how much those people hated him and Frécello, they had nothing to say.

Before the league was over, Gao Zheng scored 31 goals. You must know that in Serie A, which is good at defense, there are only a handful of forwards who can score 30 goals in a single season. Serie A once had a record of 47 years in which no one scored more than 30 goals in a single season. It was not until 2006 when Luca Toni, who played for Fiorentina, broke this record with 31 goals.

And since then, no one has done it again. Luca Toni stands alone in these fifty years.

After that, Del Piero even scored 21 goals to get the Serie A Golden Boot, which shows how strong the Serie A defense is.

In the 2oo9-2o1o season, Di Natale was only one step away from breaking through the 30-goal mark again, but in the end his number of goals was fixed at the 29th goal.

Gao Zheng became the first forward after Luca Toni to break through the 30-goal mark in a single season.

This achievement alone is enough to make him stand out from the crowd, and make those who question him, ridicule him, and criticize him shut up.

Moreover, it took Luca Toni thirty-eight league rounds to complete thirty-one goals.

Gao Zheng now has four more rounds to play.

After the training, Gao Zheng practiced free kicks for himself as usual, and the head coach Di Francesco came to the training ground again, watching Gao Zheng practice free kicks while chatting with him.

"Hi, Gao, I read the reports in the media. You should have no suspense about winning the Golden Boot now, right?" Di Francesco asked with his arms folded.

Gao Zheng shook his head: "The league isn't over yet, I'm only eight goals ahead of Cavani..."

Di Francisco waved his hand: "Got high, there are only the two of us here, and there are no reporters. You can't anger some people by saying that. What do you mean by 'only' leading by eight goals? With only four league rounds left Eight balls is a huge gap that is difficult to overcome!"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

"There is no chance, there is no suspense that you will be the top scorer this season. This is only your first Serie A season. I have to congratulate you in advance, Gao."

Gao Zheng calmly accepted the head coach's advance congratulations.

Di Francesco continued: "To be honest, I think it is too difficult for you to get the Golden Boot, and I am worried that you will lose motivation, so I thought of a way... Do you want to break a record by the way? of?"

Gao Zheng, who was about to kick the ball, gave a sharp pause, stopped and turned to look at the head coach, and said with some surprise: "Coach, why do I feel that you talk about records so simply, breaking records is the same as playing games?" Woolen cloth?"

Di Francesco laughed: "For others, it is of course difficult to break the record, and I will never make such an 'unreasonable' request. But you are different, Gao, I think you can do what ordinary people do It’s not something that can’t be done. After all, this is your first Serie A season, and you have easily scored 31 goals, so I think you are fully capable of breaking the Serie A scoring record in a single season.”

"Single-season scoring record? How many is that?"

"Thirty-five goals. This was created by AC Milan's Swedish striker Nordahl in the 1948-195o season."

"Hey, not as much as I expected." Gao Zheng was a little surprised.

Di Francesco laughed when he saw this: "You still said that I made it easy to break the record, don't you think so too?"

Gao Zheng scratched his head: "I thought the records were high and hard to break. But I didn't expect that I'm only four goals away now..."

"So I said that for you, breaking the record is very simple. How about it, do you want to write your name in the history of Serie A?"

"Coach, I can hear from your tone that watching the excitement is not a big deal..."

"Just say you want it or not?"

Gao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Okay, then the team will fully support you in the last four league rounds..."

Gao Zheng shook his head and said, "There's no need to mobilize the crowd like this. Coach, you can kick as you normally would. I can still break the record."

Di Francesco didn't feel that Gao Zheng was arrogant, but nodded, "Very good."

He never questioned Gao Zheng's big talk, nor did he think it was a big talk.

Based on his understanding of Gao Zheng, he knew that Gao Zheng could do it, otherwise why would he come to tell Gao Zheng these things?
