Prominence in Football Community

Guo Wei was very excited about Gao Zheng's goal, but he learned his lesson this time, and instead of shouting out, he tightly gripped the railing on the stand to conceal his inner excitement.

He heard the low cries of those AC Milan fans again.

"As expected of being tall..."

"Looking at Gao's performance, why did the talent in our youth academy go to Sampdoria?"

"What the hell is the club management thinking?"

The topic of discussion among the fans in the stands shifted from praising Gao Zheng and marveling at Gao Zheng's performance to questioning and criticizing the club.

As the game continued, Gao Zheng's physical confrontation did not decrease at all because of the free kick.

So he once again won a free kick in the frontcourt for Sampdoria.

And this random teammate was still handed over to Gao Zheng to take the penalty.

But unlike the previous free kick, this time Gao Zheng's free kick with his left foot did not kick the football into the goal.

"I just said, it's luck, luck... How could such a goal be carefully planned?" Philippe Galli said, pointing to Gao Zheng who kicked the football out of the baseline on the field.

"Hey, Philip, you really don't see it at all?" Giovanni Stropa asked a question that made Galli feel strange.

"What do you see?"

"Didn't you notice Gao shoots with his left foot all the time?"

Gary froze.

"The volley goal from the corner kick, the free kick against the turf, and the free kick just now, all were left-footed."

After hearing what Stroppa said, Gary thought about it carefully, and...it's true!

"But does that explain anything?"

"Which foot is his injured foot? Which foot is the foot that the Milan laboratory believes cannot withstand the intensity of professional football?"

Gary opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"For the first free kick, his posture was clearly intended to be kicked with his right foot, but why did he switch to his left foot later? Don't you understand? Philip. He is demonstrating to us..."

"Demonstration? How is this possible..."

"How is it impossible? He told you 'the past is the past', do you really believe it? He is a young man who is not yet twenty years old. Do you believe that he is true to everything he has suffered here with us? No complaints?"

Facing Stroppa's series of rhetorical questions, Philip Galli fell silent for a while, and then he whispered: "That kid lied to me?"

Bruni had a "did you know?" expression.

"This...Gao was a very honest kid when he was in Wismara..." Gary still couldn't believe it.

"He wouldn't have scored a free-kick with his left foot in Wismara, Philippe."

Gary was speechless.

Stroppa sighed. Now that his team was 0:2 behind in the game, he didn't know if the frightened players on the field could still hold off Gao Zheng, who was full of anger and bent on revenge.

But now was not the time to give up. He got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and roared to his players: "Come on! This is our home court! Look at you! What are you afraid of!? You are no better than him Poor!"

Gary sat on the coach's bench and listened to Stroppa's words, but this time he didn't ask him why he said that.

Because he is willing to believe that every player on his team is worse than Gao Zheng, otherwise, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

The players of the AC Milan reserve team heard the latest instructions from the head coach. They were hesitant at first, but in the end they all showed ruthless expressions on their faces...

Although the head coach didn't mention his name, everyone knew who that "he" was.

Indeed, when we were in the U16s, everyone won the game, but Gao Zheng was always the best performer and the most dazzling one, and everyone is always used to holding him in the middle like a star. He never doubted Gao Zheng's talent, and felt that he should be better than them, that he was omnipotent.

It's an almost superstitious state of mind.

Until Gao Zheng was injured.

After resting for more than a year, he returned from injury, but there was no place for him in the team.

At this time, Gao Zheng is no longer that omnipotent star. He lost all aura, left the club, disappeared from their world completely.

A genius has fallen.

In addition to feeling sorry for Gao Zheng, many people also had another thought in their minds—on the road of professional football, Gao Zheng would fall behind no matter how strong he was before, but we did not fall behind. We persisted until this point, so Does it mean that we are not tall and weak? No, we should be stronger than Gao Zheng!

They were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Gao Zheng, and then frightened by Gao Zheng's two consecutive goals.

Now under the loud scolding of the head coach, they regained their composure.

It is even more difficult to get ahead in the elite youth training camp, but they are almost there, but Gao Zheng falls behind halfway. Even if he is strong, he was stronger at the U16 stage before, not now.

Now they have no reason to be afraid of Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng also heard what Stropa said.

He knew that the coach was cheering up his former teammates. Looking at their expressions just now, even Gao Zheng could tell that they were not decisive enough...

Stropa was his head coach when he was in U16 and U17. Later, he was injured and he was never able to enter Stropa's team.

He played under coach Stroppa during his peak period in the Milan youth academy. It can be said that the coach who knows himself best is this coach.

In fact, coach Stroppa is very kind to himself. Even when he was injured, he encouraged himself and promised that as long as he recovered from his injury, he would be transferred to the U19 at that time.

It's a pity that AC Milan hastily terminated the contract with him before he fully recovered from his injury.

At that time, I was very frustrated and lost. I felt ashamed to see coach Stroppa again, so I left Milan without saying hello, and I never contacted him again.

At that time, he really never thought that when he met coach Stroppa again, he would be an opponent.

He wondered if Coach Stroppa had ever disappointed him.

If anything, I'm really sorry.

But I have come back after all, although I can no longer play under coach Stroppa...

Sorry coach, I have to win this game, I have to give myself an explanation.

※※※

During the game, the AC Milan players defended Gao Zheng more closely. They didn't seem to worry about giving Sampdoria a free kick at all, and they were not polite in physical confrontation.

Maybe they can also see that Gao Zheng is really not good at kicking free kicks, that goal was just an accident...

On the offensive end, the performance of the AC Milan reserve team is also very active.

Especially that Carmona.

In his heart, what the head coach Stroppa said really appealed to him.

He doesn't care what kind of legendary genius Gao Zheng is, he only knows that from La Masia to AC Milan, he is definitely no worse than Gao Zheng!

He wanted to prove this to Gao Zheng and his teammates!

PS, the French team and the Danish team actually played 0:0 in the first match of this World Cup... But from the perspective of the coaches and players of both sides, when the news came that Peru was ahead of Australia, it was almost a foregone conclusion for Denmark. There is no need for the team to smash the French team. In the same way, the French team can't afford to waste energy on an opponent who has no fighting spirit.

So it is no surprise that the game played like this.

It's just a pain for the fans, the boos at the scene were really harsh.

Thinking about it better, the game at 10 o'clock was meant to be a backstop, but the real highlight was actually the game at 2 o'clock in the morning...

What was the result of those two games... I didn't know it when I updated this chapter!
