The performance of the Sampdoria team is indeed not good.

Finally, before the end of the first half, they conceded the ball.

Varese left-back Ashraf Lazar opened the scoring to break the deadlock.

After the goal, Varese was very excited.

The substitute players almost rushed to celebrate with Lazar.

Sampdoria is very upset.

All they thought about before the game was to reach the final, win the championship, and overwhelm the Genoa reserve team in the competition.

As a result, it seems that they are going to follow in the footsteps of the Genoa reserve team?

"This is not the team's normal performance..." Cascilio frowned on the coach's bench.

"Of course not, Alfredo. They are obviously not thinking about this game... let Gao go to warm up, there will be a substitution at halftime," Bruni said.

Gao Zheng was called up from the bench, and he ran to warm up alone.

Obviously this is going to be ready to replace him.

But at this moment, there are still five minutes before the end of the first half.

Even if Gao Zheng finished warming up, he might only be able to play in the second half.

So why not let him warm up at half-time?

Because he had to follow the team back to the locker room during the intermission and accept the head coach's tactical arrangements.

Generally, the substitute players will stay on the court to warm up under the leadership of the assistant coach during the intermission. The players on the field returned to the locker room to follow the adjustment arrangements of the head coach.

※※※

Gao Zheng, who was warming up alone, looked very eye-catching, and the head coach of the Varese reserve team, Devis Manja, also noticed that tall figure.

Today's Gaozheng reserve team is no longer unknown. With his outstanding performance in the reserve team game, many teams have begun to pay attention to him.

Especially when he scored a hat-trick against AC Milan.

Soon this news began to spread in the reserve team circle-Sampdoria has a talent that is stronger than Icardi. He comes off the bench in every game, but he can always help the team win!

Seeing Gao Zheng warming up, Manja knew what Sampdoria was going to do.

So he walked to the sidelines, waving his hands and yelling to signal the team to continue to strengthen their offense, and not to start to relax just because they lead by one goal and there is not much time left in the first half.

It is safe to score another goal before the intermission!

So when Gao Zheng was warming up on the sidelines, Varese players launched a fierce attack on the Sampdoria goal.

At this time, the Sampdoria defenders who were woken up by Varese's goal remembered that they were ravaged by Gao Zheng and Icardi in training, and they couldn't be ravaged for nothing...

The Sampdoria defense, which began to take the game seriously, withstood Varese's last-minute onslaught.

At the end of the first half, the score was 0:1 and they conceded only one goal.

The head coach of the Varese reserve team, Manja, was not very satisfied with the result...but he couldn't help it. Who told the team not to score early? Five minutes is really not enough time.

Sampdoria's reserve team did not play well in the first half, but it doesn't matter, they still have super talent.

As soon as the second half started, the fourth official on the sidelines signaled the Sampdoria reserve team to make a substitution.

Then Gao Zheng slowly ran onto the field.

After Gao Zheng came on the field, Varese immediately shifted the focus of defense to him-Manja also made corresponding arrangements during the intermission.

But since he is a super genius, he can always do things that others cannot.

In the fifty-seventh minute of the game, Gao Zheng shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, and Sampdoria equalized the score just like that.

.

In fact, before Gao Zheng shot, it was not a very good opportunity. Varese's defense was very tight, and Sampdoria could not find a chance to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Then Gao Zheng slowly pulled out of the penalty area at a speed similar to walking. His posture did not attract enough attention from Varese's defenders-at that time, everyone's attention was on the players with the ball.

He pulled to a place about 30 meters away from the goal and received a pass from his teammates. Then he didn't have any symptoms, and he didn't run up. He just swung his kick on the spot, which looked like X**T.

If there were a commentator present, they would definitely criticize Gao Zheng for being too casual, easily wasting an attacking opportunity, and giving up the ball...

As a result, the football flew into the goal.

"That's talent!" Cascilio said to Bruni next to him while applauding the goal.

Bruni said with a straight face: "We didn't have to play so hard."

※※※

After equalizing the score, Sampdoria's morale was booming.

After Gao Zheng played, it also greatly reduced the defensive pressure faced by Icardi.

Especially after Gao Zheng has attracted Varese's defenders, he still has the ability to pass the football to Icardi, that will be fatal...

In the 81st minute, Gao Zheng just passed the football to Icardi at the front of the penalty area, and Icardi did not disappoint his pass.

Turned around in the penalty area, wiped away the defender, volleyed directly from the far corner, and the football flew into the goal of the Varese reserve team!

"nice shot!!"

The substitute players and coaching staff of the Sampdoria reserve team jumped from their seats with their arms raised.

They are finally ahead!

※※※

In the end, with the two goals of Gao Zheng and Icardi, the Sampdoria reserve team defeated Varese 2:1 in the away game, eliminated the opponent with some difficulty, and reached the final of the reserve team game.

The final will be held four days later on the night of June 12, with the Sampdoria reserve team facing the Rome reserve team.

The venue for the final is the Sanquan Stadium, home of the Roma reserve team.

Since entering the playoffs, Sampdoria has not played a home game. Considering the dense schedule of the playoffs, the team still has to spend time on the way to the away game. This is not good news for the Sampdoria reserve team.

But the Sampdoria reserve team players on the field at this moment can't care so much.

They didn't play very well in the preseason, and they didn't expect to make it to the playoffs in the end.

It's okay to make it to the playoffs, but now it's even made it to the finals!

Sampdoria's first team played poorly this season, but the boys in the reserve team felt like a dream.

They surrounded Gao Zheng and Icardi, cheering happily.

Bruni, who saw this scene on the sidelines, couldn't help smiling.

Regardless of what happens at the club, he is happy for the kids in his own acre.

Hopefully their performances this season will set the stage for their career paths next season.

Many people in this team will be overage next season and will not be able to stay in the reserve team. Whether to go to the first team, be loaned out for training, or terminate the contract will be decided one by one in the summer.

However, Gao Zheng and Icardi should be the most stable.

At the critical moment of the team's relegation this season, he rejected the first team's recruitment of two people, and all he can do is limited to this.

At Icardi's age, he can continue to play in the reserve team for another season, but it is not really possible, and it depends on the arrangement of the first team next season.

As for Gao Zheng.

He has turned 20, and he will definitely not be able to continue in the reserve team next season.

PS, the game between France and Argentina was really exciting, the two sides scored seven goals.

Although Argentina scored three goals, there were actually no two points in the overall offense. The first two goals had a lot of luck, and the third goal was the end of the game, and France completely relaxed.

In this game, Argentina was suppressed by the French team most of the time, and the loss was not unjust. In fact, it is very fortunate that this Argentina team can reach the top 16. This game is considered to be profitable. Their good luck will end when they meet France. It is too difficult to break through France.

And everyone has seen the strength of France.

So now I feel more and more that the French team may win the championship!
