When the starting players of the Roma reserve team saw Gao Zheng in the opponent's starting lineup, they were all a little surprised.

Didn't he just come off the bench in the second half?

Why did the game start?

They were told repeatedly before the game that this game must be accelerated from the first minute, to strive for early goals, and then to score more goals.

In the past three days, they have also trained according to this tactic.

As a result, when they went to the field, they found that the situation was different from what they expected...

Can it be changed?

Can't change it!

So just as the old De Rossi worried, this final that should be played cautiously turned into a confrontation...

As soon as the finals started, the two sides directly entered the hand-to-hand stage, which was very intense.

Two minutes into the game, the Roma reserve team took advantage of the kick-off to complete a shot. A minute later, the Sampdoria reserve team returned the favor. Icardi's shot was single-handed by the Roma reserve team goalkeeper Mirko Piggliacelli. Lifted the beam.

This shot surprised the fans of the Roma reserve team in the stands.

Three thousand people came to the Sanquan Football Stadium, which can accommodate 4,000 people, most of them are fans of the Roman reserve team.

There are still very few Sampdoria fans who come from afar like Borata and Moretti to watch a reserve team game.

After the corner kick was taken, it was Icardi who fought for the goal in the middle and headed the football to the goal.

Fortunately, this time the goalkeeper of the Roma reserve team, Piggliacelli, chose a good position and took the football directly into his arms.

Icardi, who failed to score a goal, was very annoyed, put his head in his hands, and yelled up to the sky.

"Icardi is so active after the opening!" Assistant coach Cascilio sighed.

Bruni said next to him: "Maybe he was stimulated by the high?"

"Stimulated by Gao? Gao hasn't shown much performance since the opening, what can he use to stimulate him?" Cacilio was very surprised.

Bruni smiled slightly: "Didn't you notice that I didn't mention Icardi's name at all when I arranged the tactics before the game?"

Cacilio thought for a moment, then nodded with a sudden realization: "You seem to be pinning the team's hope of winning on Gao. Did this stimulate Icardi?"

"Well. We all know that Icardi has always regarded Gao as his competitor. Since he is a competitor, he will not admit that he is inferior to his opponent. So when I only improve, of course he wants to be very uncomfortable. Prove it to me, he's in the same tier as Gao," Bruni said. "If you want to score goals as soon as possible in this game, Gao and Icardi are both very important, and they are indispensable."

Compared with the super active Icardi, Gao Zheng, who is starting for the first time, seems to be a little uncomfortable with the starting game.

After all, he had watched the games of both sides for dozens of minutes off the court before, and he was very familiar with the opponent's performance. When he went on the court, he felt prepared.

But now he needs to jump into the fierce competition immediately without knowing anything about his opponent.

Compared with Icardi, he seems to have not yet entered the game.

Seeing this scene, Old De Rossi was slightly relieved. It seems that Gao Zheng is more suitable to be a substitute player...

He doesn't know how long it will take Gao Zheng to find the rhythm of the game, but he knows that time is very precious to his team, and he must try to score goals as soon as possible before Gao Zheng wakes up, and take the initiative in his own hands .

Gao Zheng looked around the stadium in the middle circle. At this time, the Roma team was launching an attack. They had already attacked Sampdoria's backcourt and were waiting for an opportunity to penetrate the Sampdoria reserve team's defense.

Most of Roma's players are in Sampdoria's half,

Only two central defenders remained in their own half, but they were also very close to the center line-if they hadn't stood in the center circle, they would have crossed the center line and entered Sampdoria's half.

This is not the first time that the Roma team has done this in the game. Every time they attack, they seem to go all out, and they can't wait to go all out.

Gao Zheng guessed that this might be the head coach's request, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do it every time.

Looking at the large space in the backcourt, Gao Zheng couldn't help but think that if he was a striker like Ronaldo, with extremely fast speed, he would be able to receive long passes from the backcourt alone, and enter Longtan alone...

Unfortunately, speed is not what he is good at. Although he is not slow, his speed will definitely not allow the coach to use him as a fast horse.

Gao Zheng cast his sights in front of the Roma goal. He found that because the Roma team attacked the frontcourt and the central defender pressed near the center line, the Roma team's goalkeeper Piggliacelli also pressed out of the penalty area.

This is the normal behavior of goalkeepers, when the ball is away from their own goal, the goalkeeper will run out of the penalty area and stand outside the penalty area.

Some goalkeepers will even stand further forward, closer to the center circle.

Gao Zheng narrowed his eyes when he saw the position of Roma goalkeeper Piggliacelli.

Roma has flourished in the frontcourt. They have performed well this season, dominating the reserve team in Group C and winning the first place. The offensive firepower is also very strong. In the 26 regular season games, they scored a total of 82 goals.

This figure is not only the highest scoring team in Group C in which they are located, but also the highest scoring team in all three groups.

Sampdoria's reserve team in Group A scored the most goals in the Fiorentina reserve team, who scored 55 goals. The team with the most goals in Group B of the reserve team is the AC Milan reserve team, who also scored 55 goals.

The teams with the most goals in these two groups are still close to 30 points away from Roma, which shows how fierce the attacking firepower of the Roma reserve team is.

Amidst the cheers of the Roma fans in the stands, the Roma reserve team launched wave after wave of offensives against the Sampdoria reserve team.

Gao Zheng stood alone in front and hadn't got the ball for three minutes, so he had to continue to retreat.

And as he retreated, the two central defenders of Roma, M** and Antey, also pushed forward, and finally passed the center line and entered Sampdoria's half.

In fact, they are particular about pressing forward, and they don't want to come up to join in the fun.

But if the Sampdoria reserve team steals the ball and counterattacks, they can destroy the forward football in the first place and prevent Sampdoria from counterattacking. If they are too far away from the midfielders, the space between them will be used by Sampdoria when they counterattack. At that time, they will not be able to move forward and can only be forced to retreat back to the defense.

The two central defenders moved forward, and the Roman goalkeeper Piggliacelli also continued to move forward.

Gao Zheng was still at the forefront of Sampdoria, and even Mauro Icardi went back to defend, but he didn't do so.

He is like a lion lying in ambush in the grass, waiting for the opportunity, the opportunity for the prey to relax.

At this time, when the Roman reserve team was making a lateral pass at the front of Sampdoria's penalty area, they were interfered by the Sampdoria central defender Alberto Massi who was defending forward, and a pass error occurred!

Football broke another Sampdoria centre-back, Patacchiola.

Then, without hesitation for a second, he passed the football to Gao Zheng who was at the front—this was also the tactical requirement before the game. Bruni asked the team to give priority to passing the football to Gao Zheng Zheng, make full use of Gao Zheng's excellent ball-handling ability and comprehensive skills to help the team fight back.

Gao Zheng was between the two central defenders of Roma and the other Roma players in the midfield. He received the football a little outside the arc of the central circle. Facing the Roman central defender M** who rushed over, he first made a gesture to throw the football away. Passed to Icardi, who was advancing at high speed, but only feigned a shot. After deceiving the opponent's body weight shift, he broke through from the other side!

Gao Zheng, who got rid of Mu**, did not continue to dribble the ball, nor did he pass the football to Icardi, but directly kicked the football to the frontcourt vigorously!

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the football was like a ballistic missile, heading straight for the goal of the Roman reserve team!

PS, the beginning and end of the match between Croatia and Denmark was crazy, but the middle hundred minutes were a bit boring...

I am optimistic about Croatia, because I am optimistic about Modric, the number one midfielder in the world.

I want them to go as far as possible.

Next is today's X**C activity:

Mexico and Brazil are both teams that can play very openly. If the two sides are really open... I am more optimistic about Brazil beating Mexico with one goal!

This is the end of Japan's World Cup trip, because they met Belgium, and I predict that Belgium will beat Japan by two goals!

Take this as proof!
