Prominence in Football Community

When the training resumed, the defensive intensity against Gao Zheng was indeed raised to a higher level, and the intensity of physical confrontation also increased accordingly.

Even if Gao Zheng pulled out of the penalty area, he still had to face the physical confrontation of the defensive players.

Tosi frowned off the court, but Bruni stared at Gao Zheng on the court with piercing eyes. There was a desire deep in his heart to see what Gao Zheng could do in the face of such a defense.

Everyone knew that his weakness was confrontation, and when it came to the competition, it was naturally impossible for his opponent to turn a blind eye to his weakness.

At that time, if you fall down when you touch it, and lose the ball when you hit it, then no matter how talented you are, what's the point of performing well during training?

In his mind, there is actually a bottom line regarding when Gao Zheng will be able to play, and it does not come from the evaluation of the coaching staff, nor from the approval of the team doctor. It depends on Gao Zheng's ability to withstand a sufficient physical confrontation.

Gao Zheng is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms. This is the result of more than a month after he arrived in the Sampdoria reserve team, and he was even thinner during his trial training. Such a thin body will certainly lack strength. Judging from this hard indicator, Gao Zheng may still be a long time away from appearing on the stage. After all, gaining weight is not so simple and fast.

Bruni didn't plan to wait for Gao Zheng's weight to reach the standard before letting him play. Gao Zheng would not agree to this arrangement, and neither did he himself.

In the football world, strength is very important, but strength is not everything.

Gao Zheng had already given Bruni too many different things during the trial training, so he wanted to see what Gao Zheng could do now.

For some reason, he always had much more expectations for this kid than others.

In order to get rid of the defense, Gao Zheng, as a center forward, had already run near the corner flag area.

But even so, there will always be a defensive player next to him to defend him, and not far from him, there are two defensive players watching him.

The head coach lost his temper and said to try conceding three goals. Now that they have conceded two goals, they cannot continue to concede goals anyway.

The teammate originally wanted to pass the ball to someone else, but there was no better way to get the ball out. The only point closest to him was Gao Zheng.

So he finally passed the football to Gao Zheng.

Almost at the same time that the football was passed, Gao Zheng felt that the defensive player behind him was showing signs of exerting strength, and he probably planned to go around the front to defend and cut off the football in advance.

Gao Zheng quickly crossed his legs, blocked the opponent with his body, and then raised his right foot to catch the ball.

The football was stopped by him, but because there were defensive players behind him, he also stopped the ball to death, and it would not be easy to make moves next.

The opponent put his hands on Gao Zheng's back and waist, leaned forward and pushed Gao Zheng towards the corner flag.

At the same time, another defensive player rushed up from the side, intending to break the ball at Gao Zheng's feet.

The teammate who passed the ball to Gao Zheng shouted at him: "Pass it back!"

It was too late, the second defensive player who rushed up cut off the connection between Gao Zheng and him, and then completely surrounded Gao Zheng in the corner flag area.

Gao Zheng pulled the football to the right with his left foot, temporarily dodging the rush of the second defender.

But it also brought him closer to the baseline.

The first defensive player continued to use force, and Gao Zheng, who had been pushed forward, finally failed to maintain his balance and fell forward to the ground.

The teammate who passed the ball to him raised his arm immediately, signaling a foul.

But the assistant coach Casirio, who was the guest referee, was next to him. He didn't say anything. This was just a reasonable collision.

Seeing Gao Zheng fell to the ground, the defender who pushed him down was about to steal the ball.

But when he looked down for the ball, he saw that Gao Zheng, who was supposed to be prostrate on the ground, became lying on his side at some point.

The right foot is hooking back the football that has almost rolled out of the bottom line! This is really an advantage of long legs - others fell behind the corner flagpole, but those long legs can still reach the football!

The defensive player made an empty kick by himself!

Gao Zheng, who hooked the football back, twisted his body and sat on the ground with his hands propped up. The football was still under his feet.

A second defender rushes up.

With Gao Zheng sitting on the ground, relying on the strength of his right ankle, he slammed the football!

The football flew over the head of the second defensive player...and landed at the feet of the player who was passing the ball for Gao Zheng.

"Huh?" The person who caught the ball was stunned, he didn't expect the ball to return to his feet like this.

The defensive player who broke Gao Zheng's ball was also stunned. He didn't expect that Gao Zheng could still pass the football when he was at the end of his rope.

Assistant coach and part-time Caxilio was also stunned.

But Gao Zheng, who was sitting on the ground, slapped his hands, got up from the ground, and when everyone didn't notice him, he walked the baseline and ran into the penalty area.

His tall red figure finally attracted the attention of his teammate who was holding the ball. He knew that he should pass the football to Gao Zheng who had already run into the open space.

So he picked a pass.

But in a hurry, he passed it on!

The football flew straight out of the bottom line!

"Ouch!" Tosi and Bruni yelled at the same time.

After yelling, Tosi looked at Bruni in surprise, but he knew that this person was usually unsmiling, and he was rarely so excited.

Bruni didn't seem to see Tosi's surprised gaze at all, he just stared at the pitch and gritted his teeth and said, "That kid Muratore is unreliable at critical moments!"

Nicola Muratore, the red team player who passed the ball to Gao Zheng, is the central midfielder of the reserve team.

Muratore also knew that his mistake had wasted Gao Zheng's opportunity, so he quickly apologized to Gao Zheng. However, Gao Zheng was not as regretful as everyone expressed, he waved his hand: "It's okay, Nicholas, it's no big deal."

It seems that the unbelievable pass to the ground is so common and not worth mentioning.

But other people are not as "open-minded" as him.

Alberto Massi, despite being in the defense and wearing a blue jersey, couldn't help complaining to Muratore: "You've wasted a great attacking opportunity!"

It was Gao Zheng who asked Marcy, "Hey, where are you from?"

Massie hummed: "I'm on the side of football!"

Gao Zheng smiled and pushed him: "Stop talking."

"That ball is really a pity..." Marci was still very regretful. "Such a beautiful pass!"

Gao Zheng waved his hand: "Then do it again."

"Can you come again?" Marcy's eyes widened.

"You think I've been fooled?"

"Uh..." Marcy didn't know how to answer him.

Next, Gao Zheng was not forced to go to the corner flag area to perform another wonderful performance of falling to the ground, but he took the ball at the front of the penalty area, and when he chose to break through, he was hit sideways by the defensive player, and his whole body was hit almost to the ground. Flying -- feet off the ground to the left -- but he still didn't miss the ball.

When he was knocked away, his long legs also hooked the football away, just like he was pushed to the ground just now and still has the ability to hook the football back, his long legs are beyond imagination.

Before he regained his balance, he took a shot, pumped the football to the right of the goal with his left foot, and hit Tozo, who was going to the near corner to block the angle, a contra-angle.

Tozzo tried his best to block it, but let the ball fly into the goal from the far end.

The offensive team has scored three goals, Gao Zheng has two goals, and Icardi has scored one goal.
