Pelle stood on the court and waited for the game to begin, but his eyes turned to the bench on the sidelines. In his eyes, Gao Zheng was wearing a thick down jacket and sat on the bench.

He remembered what Gao Zheng said to him at dinner last year.

Due to physical fitness, although he has such outstanding skills, he can only sit on the bench for dozens of minutes and then come out of the bench.

Because he was seriously injured, he could start his career in AC Milan, but not only had a gap for a year, but also became a second-tier team.

He can obviously live better than he is now.

But he didn't complain, and said very freely that false reputations are all over the world...

Pelle still feels that it is Gao Zheng who should be standing on the court now, not himself.

But since I have started, what can I do?

Pelle looked up at the defenders opposite Livorno, a tall and big man.

It's hard to fight them with a tall body, right?

Gao is always not used to staying in the penalty area, but often pulls out to play football, which is probably related to his lack of physical confrontation in the penalty area.

Pelle thought about it.

Let him use his flexible footwork to play the defender like Gao Zheng, and then score, which is not something Pelle is good at.

So what is he good at?

Pelle looked down at himself.

Still strong.

Pelle suddenly knew that he should do something.

"Oh! Pelle! He almost grabbed a shot in Livorno's penalty area! This game was Pelle's first appearance after coming to Sampdoria on loan. Because of Bertani's injury, he was able to start. It can be seen that he cherished this opportunity very much. He has performed very actively from the beginning to now... The running range is large, and he has been physically confronting without any scruples, constantly fighting with the opponent's defenders, and the killing people are overwhelming... Although he only had three shots and was outside the goal frame, his hard work in the frontcourt still created some scoring opportunities for Sampdoria..." Cilio introduced Pelle's performance on the court.

"Pozi's goal was when he pressed his opponent in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent's defender to make a mistake in passing, and passing the football directly to Sampdoria player Obiang. Obiang immediately sent a straight pass to assist Pozi to score. To be honest... This is the first time I see Pelle working so hard on the court... When he was in Parma, his running was not positive."

In front of Sampdoria's coaching seat, Carillo was surprised by Pelle's performance, but was also satisfied: "I don't know why, but it seems that Pelle knows what he should do."

Yaqini nodded: "This is exactly what we hoped he will do." After that, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The game was only in the 63rd minute, and Pelle's physical fitness felt that there was a small problem. It seemed that he was fighting too fiercely in this game.

However, he fought so fiercely that the opponent's defender was also embarrassed. Look at their movements that were obviously half a beat slower when they cleared in the backcourt, and they almost intercepted the ball directly by Pelle...

Yacini felt it was time to let Gao Zheng play.

So he asked Carillo to recall Gao Zheng who was warming up.

"Gao Zheng ran back, Sampdoria's super substitute is about to appear again! Listen to the cheers above Brassi Stadium!"

Huge shouts rang over Brassi Stadium.

The fans all stood up and waved their arms: "High! High! High!"

This is not only their expectation for Gao Zheng, but also the charge that was blown.

If you replace Gao Zheng, it means that Sampdoria will strengthen the attack.

It's only 1:0 now, Sampdoria head coach Yacini must be not satisfied with leading with one goal.

Amid the fans' uninterrupted shouts, the fourth official raised the sign of Sampdoria's substitution on the sidelines.

Under No. 99, Up No. 40.

No. 99 is Pelle's number, and No. 40, no need to introduce it, Sampdoria fans are already very familiar with this.

Gao Zheng stood on the sidelines and watched Pelle run down the court and then slapped him on the sidelines. He said: "Actually you can run slower, or walk down, Graziano."

Pelle shook his head: "Then I wasted your time on the stage!"

After saying that, he blinked at Gao Zheng, leaned in front of Gao Zheng, lowered his voice, and said to Gao Zheng mysteriously: "I have been tossing those defenders so hard. I guarantee that their legs are weak now! You can do whatever you want to do to them! Hey!"

After saying that, he patted Gao Zheng on the back and walked out of the field.

Gao Zheng looked back at Pelle's figure, wondering if it was an illusion, he always felt that when Pelle said that last time, his tone made him feel as if he was seeking credit for himself...

Gao Zheng didn't quite understand why he felt this way, so he frowned and ran onto the field.

※※※

When Gao Zheng took the ball at the front of the penalty area and faced Livorno's defender, he remembered Pelle's words.

Do whatever you want?

That's the case... Gao Zheng swung his foot and made a move to shoot, and the opponent's defender Alessandro Bernardini immediately stretched out his legs to block it.

But Gao Zheng did not really shoot, but instead dunk the football to the other side. Then he could feel that Bernardini was obviously slower in changing the center of gravity. Although he tried his best to re-block the position, Gao Zheng had his right foot and pushed the football back. Now Bernardini was powerless - his whole body was stiff and could only watch Gao Zheng shoot!

Fortunately, the ball hit the leg of the central defender Dario Nezevic who came to help him, and did not threaten the goal.

In the stands, he sighed loudly for Gao Zheng's missed his shot.

Gao Zheng himself didn't feel sorry.

He remembered Pelle's words again.

Although it sounds strange, it is actually true. It has only been more than 60 minutes, and the physical fitness of these defenders seems to have dropped faster than usual...

He turned his head and looked at the bench. He saw that Pelle, wearing a coat, was not sitting in his position, but standing outside the bench, waving his fists at him, as if cheering him on.

Gao Zheng smiled.

You can't let others down.

Gao Zheng received the ball outside the penalty area and faced Nezevic who came up to block him. He acted to use his left foot to directly shoot the far corner of the goal. Nezevic quickly stretched out his legs to block it.

But Gao Zheng's left foot hit the ball to the right, and then Gao Zheng half turned around and cut inside, then wiped it from Nezevic.

When Nezevic turned to defend, his support foot weakened and he fell to the ground, and he could no longer stop Gao Zheng from breaking into the penalty area.

"Beautiful! High! He knocked Nezevic down! This is his chance!"

Gao Zheng, who entered the penalty area, took a big step. After catching up with the football, he did not make any adjustments. Instead, he directly swung his right foot and pointed his straight toes to the inside, and then cut the football into the outside instep.

The football drew an obvious arc and bypassed the palm of Livorno goalkeeper Francisco Buddy who blocked the near corner and screwed into the goal from the far corner!

"gaooool!!!" Cilio shouted, but his cheers were soon drowned in louder cheers.

“gaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

This is the voice of the Sampdoria fans all over the venue!

"In the 73rd minute, Sampdoria led Livorno two goals, almost securing the victory! Gao scored a goal when he came on as a substitute. This is his seventh league goal this season. You should know that his season started in the 15th round of the league, which is simply amazing efficiency!"

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng turned around and ran to the bench, and then hugged Pelle, who was celebrating the goal.

He was able to simply use a fake shot and hit the opponent's central defender and beat him down. Pelle did help him, so he naturally had to thank the opponent.

Although the other teammates did not understand why Gao Zheng and Pelle had a good relationship all of a sudden, there was no need to worry about this issue at this time. Just hug, celebrate and cheer.
