Pelle sat on the home team bench at Brasey Stadium, glanced out of the corner of his eyes at Gao Zheng who was sitting next to him.

As expected, it was just that good performance in training was meaningless. If he still had to be a bench, wouldn’t he still be the bench?

As for why he is on the bench, not in the starting lineup...

That's how Pelle views this issue - after all, he has only been in this team for three days and even his teammates are not fully named. It seems that it is not realistic to start soon. Being able to make an occasional entry into the roster already shows that the coach values ​​him.

As long as he comes on as a substitute in this game and scores a goal, he believes that in the next game he will be a member of the starting lineup!

The score on the court is 0:0. Sampdoria, who played at home, actually had no choice but to play Varese. In this case, if Sampdoria wants to win the game at home and get all three points, she will definitely make adjustments in the offense. This is her own opportunity!

Thinking of this, Pelle glanced at the coach's seat. He indeed saw head coach Acini and assistant coach Carillo seem to be discussing something, and assistant coach Carillo also cast a look at him.

Pelle quickly sounded his chest and even deliberately leaned against Gao Zheng, trying to block the assistant coach's sight so that he could only see himself.

The 1.94-meter-tall Pelle was tall and strong, and when he leaned over, he really blocked many places.

Gao Zheng, who was sitting next to him, felt as if he was shrouded in the projection of a cloud. He looked at him in surprise and found that Pelle was leaning against him.

Gao Zheng found it strange, but he didn't take it seriously.

He continued to look at the court.

The game ended in the 70th minute, and the score was still 0:0. Based on his previous experience of playing as a substitute, head coach Yacini should make adjustments.

As expected, assistant coach Carillo came over. Although Pelle was bigger and deliberately leaned towards Gao Zheng, trying to make himself more eye-catching, Carillo walked past him indifferently and stopped in front of Gao Zheng: "Gao, it's time for you to play."

Under Pelle's disappointed gaze, Gao Zheng stood up calmly and took off the yellow vest on his body. He had just finished the warm-up and did not need to let the coach wait a few more minutes and could play at any time.

When Gao Zheng went to find the head coach, Pelle was disappointed to lean in his seat - the head coach used his last substitution spot in the game.

He still turned his attention to the coaching seat. He saw Gao Zheng walking to Yacini. Yacini patted him on the back, and assistant coach Carillo was holding a tactical board next to him, placing a task against Gao Zheng.

He leaned over and raised his ears, wanting to hear what the assistant coach said.

But at this moment, a huge cheer came from the stand behind him, completely drowning the voice of assistant coach Carillo...

This surprised Pelle. His first reaction was to look at the court again to see if Sampdoria was going to score.

But no, even the Varese players were in control of the ball on the court. Sampdoria fans had no reason to cheer at this time. What were they happy about?

Valentino Cilio shouted excitedly: "Let's turn our eyes to Sampdoria's coach seat, and Yacini's assistant Carillo is setting up tactics for Gao! When the game is deadlocked, Sampdoria's hope star will come on as a substitute again! Listen to the cheers in the stands of Brassi Stadium. All Sampdoria fans know that Yacini has played the winner again!"

There were bursts of shouts in the southwest stands of Brah.

Pelle listened with his ears and finally heard it vaguely. They were shouting Gao Zheng's last name in unison!

"High! High! High!"

This discovery surprised Pelle - does a substitute actually have such a high status in the minds of fans?!

He couldn't help but change his stocks left and right. The fans in the stands were waving their arms in a rhythmic manner, and the head coach Yacini, who was watching Gao Zheng with a smile on his face. He also shook his head and didn't look straight under this gaze, and the tall and thin man who didn't take all this to heart...

Pelle, who came from the loan from Serie A team Parma, is increasingly confused about everything about Sampdoria...

※※※

Gao Zheng, who had just started playing, won the applause with a beautiful stop.

At that time, Sampdoria made a long pass in the backcourt and found Gao Zheng in front. This long pass of nearly 50 meters was steadily stopped by Gao Zheng, and the stopping movement was very small, which made people feel as if Gao Zheng was just a random move, and the football stopped at his feet obediently.

"Oh! Beautiful stop!"

Commentator Cialio and the fans on the scene cheered and applauded Gao Zheng's stop.

Pelle scoffed at this - any qualified professional player can do such a stop-off action, provided that it is in training without physical confrontation.

When Gao Zheng stopped the ball just now, there was no defensive player around Varese.

Meaningless show off...hum, young man!

Pelle snorted again in his heart.

※※※

Because Gao Zheng did not replace Bertani or someone from Pozi, but replaced midfielder Mark Padalino, after Gao Zheng came on the court, Sampdoria made a formation adjustment, from the original 532 to 433, central defender Volta pushed forward and hit the midfielder. Bozi and Bertani were still in the front, while Gao Zheng was behind them, looking more like a second striker or a shadow striker.

This is naturally a way to give full play to Gao Zheng's outstanding skills and large range of activities. At the same time, it also avoids fighting with those strong defenders in front of the goal. It can be regarded as an arrangement that is very consistent with Gao Zheng's characteristics.

Five minutes after playing, in addition to the stop, Gao Zheng also created an excellent opportunity for Bozi - at that time he took the ball at the front of the penalty area and looked up at the right where Bertani was. This glance attracted the attention of the Varese defenders, but Gao Zheng raised his foot and passed the ball to the other side, where there happened to be a gap. Bozi inserted the gap and caught Gao Zheng's pass!

"Beautiful pass! This is Sampdoria's chance!"

Boqi raised his foot and removed Gao Zheng's pass, then raised his foot and hit!

But he was too strong when shooting, the ball was above the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line...

"Oh! Bozi shot high! He wasted an excellent opportunity!"

In the close-up, Bozi covered his face with his hands and couldn't bear to see where the football he shot out finally went.

The head coach Yacini in front of the coach's seat also seemed dissatisfied with Bozi's handling. Gao Zheng's pass was very comfortable. He did not need to rush to exert force. Ensuring that the shot was within the frame was the top priority.

There was also a sigh on the bench.

Among them, Pelle's sigh was the biggest.

"This ball..." He pointed at Varese's goal and was stunned.

It would be great if I had shot this ball, I got my first goal to join Sampdoria!

It's a waste of resources!

Bozi should be replaced and let me go!
Chapter completed!
