Chapter 96: An Unremarkable Foot

Although he hasn't played a game for nearly half a season, Gao Zheng has not gained nothing during this period.

He still trains according to his own plan every day. Except that he always confronts Atezori during offensive training, his training quality is still guaranteed.

Especially physical fitness and strength have also made great progress in the past few months.

And although he didn't play an official game, there will be intra-team games in the team training every week. Gao Zheng still participated in these games, so it can't be said that he is completely out of game.

In addition to causing a foul by the Vicenza player, his several catches and passes were also very stable, without the tension and discomfort of a young man's debut.

Lu Bin and Wang Yixing looked at each other when they saw this scene in the media seats.

This was the first time they watched Gao Zheng play live, and it was completely different from what they had imagined.

This tall, thin, 1.9 meter tall man is very flexible.

And he showed a composure that didn't match his age.

When Lu Bing saw this scene, he couldn't help but think, maybe Frécello was right, Gao Zheng could really withstand the enormous pressure...

Perhaps what he encountered in AC Milan made him more mature than his peers.

※※※

Although he was 1.9 meters tall and played as a striker, Gao Zheng did not stay fixed in the penalty area as a center forward, but frequently pulled out, sometimes on the wing, and sometimes even retreated to the midfield.

He took the initiative to participate in Sampdoria's offense, and would not just stay in front, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him.

Yakini knew that this was not what he asked for. Such an active way of playing was Gao Zheng's own idea.

He recalled that the media once reported that one of the main conflicts between Gao Zheng and Atzuoli was that Atzuoli wanted Gao to stay in the penalty area, just like a traditional high center forward would do. But Gao Zheng obviously disliked this practice very much, so he always violated Atzuoli's training arrangements during training, which made Atzuoli very annoyed.

It seems that they have a different understanding of the role of the center.

Iachini has no obvious preference for this matter. It seems that Gao Zheng's technical characteristics are indeed not suitable for being a traditional center forward in front of goal, but can he do a good job as a new type of center forward?

That remains to be seen.

Gao Zheng found that the defense against him is not very strict, especially when he moves flexibly, as long as he stays away from the penalty area, there are not even people to defend him. Observed players.

Obviously Vicenza didn't take themselves seriously. In their eyes, both Pozzi and Piovacari were more threatening than themselves.

This is his chance.

While watching the development of the situation on the field, he played as before.

When a football came to him, he always passed it again, and rarely let the ball stay at his feet for a long time.

His passes are mostly transitional passes, and there are no adventurous through balls.

Such a pass will not attract any attention on the pitch, and even the fans will not expect it.

"He's still very cautious..." Clariant Moretti frowned.

"That's right, it's the first first-team game after all, and he hasn't played in a long time..." said his mate.

"But I believe the head coach didn't let him play for this kind of thing." Moretti shook his head and disagreed with his companion.

"Hey, Clariant, the team's offense is simply not working out. This kind of problem is a problem for the entire team. It cannot be solved by a young man who is playing for the first time. Don't have too high expectations. Then It will hit you hard."

"Yeah, yeah, common sense, Clariant.

We were too unlucky in this game, in fact, even if we lost, it is not unacceptable, luck is not on our side at all..."

Simoli was injured in the opening 20 minutes, and Bertani, the team's current top scorer, was injured again in the 39th minute.

The two injuries caught Sampdoria completely off guard.

Originally, the team played fairly well after the game started, but after changing the coach, it really feels different.

But these two injuries interrupted Sampdoria's rhythm.

After the start of the second half, Vicenza's goal completely panicked Sampdoria.

When attacking, it is completely thinking of where to hit, without any rules.

Under such circumstances, Vicenza only scored one goal. No wonder this team is ranked third from the bottom. Of course, if the current score is maintained until the end of the game, Vicenza's points will increase by three points, and the ranking will definitely It's going to rise, but I don't know how much it will rise, it depends on the results of the teams above him.

But should be able to get out of the relegation zone.

Although it is still too early to say relegation, who would not want to get three more points?

Clariant sighed, and his companions had a point.

Maybe he was just too impatient and shouldn't put too much pressure on Gao Zheng.

In his situation, being able to get a chance to play in the first team is already a great victory...

※※※

Gao Zheng pulled the ball to the right to get the ball, and then passed the football across to the teammate who got in.

A teammate moved the football to the left with a big foot, and everyone's attention followed the football to the other side.

Gao Zheng did not insert into the penalty area to catch the opportunity, but paced on the right.

When left-back Paolo Castellini, who had the ball on the left wing, was unable to get the ball into the penalty area, he dunked it and developed the ball back, where he passed the ball to O. Bion.

At this moment, Gao Zheng, who was originally unobtrusive on the right, suddenly accelerated and ran towards the middle.

But still not in the penalty area, but running to the area outside the free throw arc of the penalty area.

Because both Pozzi and Piovacari rushed to the goal and pressed all of Vicenza's defenses in the penalty area, there was a gap at the front of the penalty area.

Gao Zheng aimed at this opening.

At the same time, he also shouted to Obiang in advance: "Pedro, give me the ball!"

He chooses to do this when Obiang has the ball because he believes that Obiang will pass the football to himself, but if it is replaced by other teammates, it is not necessarily the case. They may not trust him enough , or for other reasons, would not choose to pass the ball to himself.

Sure enough, after hearing Gao Zheng's shout, Obiang raised his head to observe first, and immediately passed the football over after finding Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng took the ball with his back to the attacking direction. This was to occupy his position, so he turned around on his own initiative and turned his back to the direction of Vicenza's goal.

In fact, seeing Obiang pass the football to Gao Zheng, Vicenza immediately had a defensive player rushing up. No matter how much he looked down on Gao Zheng, he would not allow Gao Zheng to easily take the ball in this position.

It was Augustine who knocked Gao Zheng to the ground as soon as Gao Zheng came up to defend him.

Gao Zheng did not stop the ball from Obiang, but pulled the football to his side with his left foot and turned around at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Augustine to reach out to steal the ball, he swung his right leg and rubbed towards the football.

This movement was not very large, and it didn't even attract Augustine's attention.

It wasn't until the football was picked up by Gao Zheng and flew towards the goal behind him that he realized that Gao Zheng had just shot!

The speed of this shot was not fast. The football rotated very strongly in the air and flew towards the left post of the goal.

"Gao... shot?" The commentator Silio was not very sure, and the words he said were all obvious interrogative sentences.

This is not a good opportunity to shoot, and it is not a standard shooting action. Looking at Gao Zheng's posture, it seems that he has not exerted his strength. Is this kind of shooting too forced?

Gao Zheng had always given people the impression of all kinds of safe passes before, never asserting himself or taking risks, so when he suddenly made such a forced shot, everyone was stunned.

Also stunned was Vicenza goalkeeper Alberto Friesen. When he saw the football flying towards the goal, he was stunned for a moment, because he always felt that such a shot would not pose a threat.

But he soon realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly threw himself out.

It's just that it's too late now!

The football spun and drew an inconspicuous arc in the air, and flew into the goal against the left post!
