Prominence in Football Community

Seeing Gao Zheng sauntering onto the field, the reserve team players who were panting heavily on the field became refreshed, and their eyes followed Gao Zheng closely.

I can't say why, but since when, this new teammate, who has only joined the team not long ago, has faintly intended to become the backbone of the team.

Perhaps it is his ability to surprise others with an understatement every time in training.

The title of "genius" is firmly tied to him, making everyone who has watched him play firmly believe in it.

Of course, they still have some regrets in their hearts - if Gao Zheng hadn't been injured, would his achievements be much higher than now? At least he should not have to be a nobody in the Sampdoria reserve team.

Think about the super-genius Balotelli of Inter Milan, already a member of the treble, and also transferred to the upstart Manchester City club in the Premier League.

If Gao Zheng is still in AC Milan and stays healthy, where should he be now?

Wherever it is, it won't be in Sampdoria's reserve team...

But Gao Zheng didn't know what his teammates were thinking. He ran onto the field with a smile on his face, shaking his head, without any sense of urgency for being two goals behind in the Lighthouse Derby.

Midfielder Sanpeiro saw Gao Zheng running up and shouted at him, "You're on the pitch!"

Gao Zheng made a "don't worry" gesture to him, and then said, "It's only two goals behind."

When he said this, he didn't deliberately lower his voice, so Jelenic, who was not far from him, happened to hear it.

The Genoa midfielder laughed out loud: "'Just two goals behind'?" Then he pointed at Gao Zheng and said to Sanpetro: "This is your savior? A big fool? Ha! "

Sanpetro grimaced and said nothing.

Gao Zheng ignored him at all, and ran slowly to his position maintaining the pace just now.

His appearance also attracted the attention of Genoa. After all, Jelenic introduced this arrogant kid to them before the game.

Seeing how he swayed and ran onto the court, it seemed that he was once "arrogant".

Many Genoa players suddenly looked less friendly at Gao Zheng.

Mattia Palin was also staring at Gao Zheng.

This figure will always make him feel familiar, a bit like a person hidden deep in his heart. But when he saw Gao Zheng's sloppy posture, he found that he was still different from that person. That person will never be so lazy...

So he shook his head, it seemed that it was his own illusion.

※※※

The Sampdoria fans on the sidelines also noticed Gao Zheng - it's hard not to notice him, his style of painting is really inconsistent with the situation on the spot.

He was nothing like his teammates who were frowning, anxious and bewildered by the situation.

It is impossible to see that this is a player who was brought in to change something when the team fell behind by two goals.

Inevitably, there were some mutterings and discussions in the stands.

"Who is he? Does he look like he's on vacation?"

"A Japanese? Or a Korean?"

"He is quite tall. Judging by his position after playing, he should be a striker. But his body is too thin... I feel that I can easily knock him down!"

"Ha, don't talk big, Clariant. Being fat doesn't mean being strong!" This sentence caused a group of people around to laugh.

A chubby middle-aged man with a belly that seemed to be ten months pregnant said dissatisfiedly: "Quality equals strength! Just wait and see, the 'humanoid disposable chopsticks' will definitely be broken by the Genoa defenders!"

"Hey, Clariant, where are you on?"

"I'm just telling the truth, can't you see his lack of strength?"

Speaking of which, Gao Zheng's body looks really thin,

Especially since he was still tall, which accentuated his thin features. In the inherent impression of most people, being thin means having no strength.

The Sampdoria fans in the stands looked at Gao Zheng's figure, and gradually fell silent, feeling that Bruni's replacement seemed not a very reliable person.

Clariant sighed sadly: "When I think of 'Turkey' going to show off in front of us and take away a victory, I feel uncomfortable! Although it is a reserve team game, it is enough to make me feel bad for a whole week. Unless we can beat Parma at home tomorrow afternoon in the league."

"I advise you not to think so, we have lost three games in a row in the league..."

The topic elicited sighs from the crowd.

Sampdoria's first team has encountered difficulties in Serie A. They have lost four rounds and lost three consecutive rounds. After the 29th round of the league, they ranked fifteenth, only one step away from the relegation zone.

"It's unbelievable, last season we were fourth in the league and qualified for the Champions League..."

"I don't think we should fight on two fronts..."

"Finance officials don't think so much! Participating in the Champions League or Europa League can make the club earn more money. In their eyes, only money is the most important thing!"

"Hey, we lost too many people last summer. The general manager, sports manager, head coach, and assistant coaches all changed clubs. I really don't understand. Other teams will clean up when they are not doing well. Why do we Was it a purge after finishing fourth?"

"Forget it, we sold Cassano and Pazzini during the winter break..."

"I hate Juventus, I hate AC Milan, I hate Inter Milan... Those giants just need to hook their fingers, and our people will run over obediently, just like seeing a dog with fleshy bones..."

"You can't say that, Fierlano. This is the difference between a big club and a small club like ours. They have a fatal attraction for all players, and we don't have..."

The topic unknowingly shifted from the reserve team game in front of me to the recent situation of the first team. Sampdoria's performance last season made these fans crazy, but this season everyone is full of complaints, it's like doing an exciting roller coaster.

Only Clariant Moretti did not participate in everyone's discussion. He kept his eyes on Gao Zheng, hoping to find evidence from the actual game to prove that his thesis was correct.

When he saw Gao Zheng ran two steps towards his teammate's long pass and then stopped, giving up chasing, and the football was easily taken by the Genoa defender, he pointed at Gao Zheng and shouted: "Why stop? Why? Don't force it!"

His movement caught the attention of others: "What happened, Clariant?"

"That big chopstick, he has a problem with his game attitude!" Moretti accused.

"That's just a big pass from teammates, Clariant." Not everyone was enthusiastically denouncing the current situation of the team, but some people were still watching the game.

"Of course, he may not be able to receive the ball, but he should press forward, and don't let the opponent get the ball easily, cause chaos, or directly counterattack and attack..." Clariant Moretti plausible. "And he's just walking on the pitch, it looks like this lighthouse derby has nothing to do with him!"

"Maybe I just played and haven't entered the game yet..." Someone speculated.

Of course, Gao Zheng did not choose to press for his reasons. When the Genoa defender was about to get the ball, he looked behind him. Not far behind him was the right defender of the Genoa reserve team. Go up and press the Genoa central defender who is holding the ball, and the opponent will definitely pass the ball to the full-back teammate behind him.

And the full-back player is the only one near him. If he goes up, the defensive area left by him needs to be filled by other teammates. To cover the area where his teammates are located, other teammates in other positions are needed. To make up for the defense, just like this, linking and mobilizing the whole body, it will make Sampdoria, which is still relatively complete, have a loophole in a certain link.

If the teammates don't come to fill the defensive area left by Gao Zheng, the opponent will pass the football to the full-back and push the offense forward. In the end, Sampdoria will still have to make corresponding defensive adjustments.

And as long as he is stuck here and facing Sampdoria, whose overall formation remains intact, the opponent has a high chance of choosing to move forward with a big foot and launch an attack with a simple and rude long pass. But since the short pass is different...

In a very short time of looking back and observing, Gao Zheng made a judgment analysis and decision in his mind.

For a ball that is destined to be out of reach, there is no need to rush forward and press down. In addition to making a look of being very involved in the game, it actually does not help to change the situation of the game. Gao Zheng is unwilling to do this kind of superficial effort, not to mention that it will waste his precious physical energy--Bruni let himself play in the fifty minutes of this game, and he will play almost a full half of the game , considering the intensity of the Lighthouse Derby, the physical energy consumed should be far more than the usual game.

So Gao Zheng wisely chose the "walking" style of play in the eyes of Clariant Moretti.

And the Genoa central defender who took the ball did indeed kick the football to the frontcourt with a big foot.

Gao Zheng glanced at Icardi who was still at the front, turned around and ran slowly towards the middle circle, retreating to respond.

The football flew from the air to Sampdoria's defensive third area. The central defender Alberto Massi rushed forward and then jumped high. He rushed the flying football back before the Genoa striker Longo. This kind of high ball, of course, the defender who defends frontally has an advantage over the forward who turns his back to the attacking direction.

The ball falls back to the center circle where players from both sides jump for the top.

In the mutual struggle, the football was headed towards Jelenic's area by Sanpetro of Sampdoria.

"Excellent!" While preparing to catch the ball, Jelenic did not forget to use words to sarcastically satirize the opponent.

But just when he was about to catch the ball, a foot suddenly stretched out from behind him, and he hooked the flying football lightly when he was unprepared, and the ball passed over his head!

"Eh?!" Jelenic still kept the posture of stopping the ball, his eyes widened in a daze.

PS, let’s talk about yesterday’s game.

In fact, as a game, the score of 5:0 does not mean that the game scene is wonderful. Both sides made many mistakes in this game, and the scene was neither exciting nor intense. But thankfully there were five goals, so the game wasn't too disappointing.

It is said that because it was Ramadan yesterday, the whole Saudi team did not eat. But there is no definite news about this at present, so it cannot be said that Saudi Arabia's poor performance is due to not eating. You must know that when Benzema and Salah played the Champions League final, it was also Ramadan, but Benzema did not fast directly. Salah originally wanted to fast, but later changed his mind after persuasion. So in fact, the rules in this area are not so strong, and the entire Saudi team can eat.

Saudi Arabia's poor performance is actually consistent. They have been defeated by consecutive big scores in the World Cup, so I said yesterday on Weibo after the game that Saudi Arabia is simply a tragedy machine-losing 0:4 to France in 1998; 2002 Lost to Germany 0:8 in 2006; lost to Ukraine 0:6 in 2006; did not participate in 2010 and 2014, escaped, but although the tragedy will be late, but will not be absent, so this year when they come back On the stage of the World Cup, the tragedy also came back...

You must know that Saudi Arabia has been considered a first-class team in Asian football for a long time, but even so, it cannot change their fiasco on the world stage. Asian football and world football are like two completely different worlds, the difference between the world and the fairy world.

It is said that if the Chinese team enters this World Cup and then is poured five goals, I am afraid that the domestic Internet and the media will definitely be scolded. But there is nothing to criticize. This is the gap between Asian football and world football. In Chinese football, the gap will only be even greater. The Chinese team in 2002 was considered the strongest, and the result is still the same. Before the game, everyone always has unrealistic expectations for the national team. Once the performance is unsatisfactory, it will be ridiculed and criticized-we still have a long way to go...

Well, after talking about yesterday's game, there are three games today: Egypt vs. Uruguay at 8:00 pm, Morocco vs. Iran at 11:00 pm, and Portugal vs. Spain at 2:00 am tomorrow.

Among them, I don't plan to watch the second game. I plan to go to bed early to catch up on sleep, and then get up in the middle of the night to watch the battle between the two teeth.

So with regard to prediction, there are only two games at 8:00 and 2:00 in the morning.

Egypt and Uruguay, I think there is no suspense for Uruguay to win. The overall strength of the South American giants is still better than the new African army. Uruguay may win Egypt with two goals.

The match between Spain and Portugal is not easy to say. Of course Spain's overall strength is better than Portugal's, but the matter of changing coaches before the battle is too damaging to morale and is too taboo. So I think Portugal may not have a chance to beat Spain by one goal.

If you have any opinions, you can also share them with you in the comments and chapter comments of this chapter. For example, yesterday, a classmate named "Aspire to Read All the Books in the World" was very good. He guessed that Russia defeated Saudi Arabia 5-0. It's amazing! Let's see which outstanding classmate will be born today!
