Chapter 153 Friendship Tested

After Sampdoria equalized the score, everyone thought the game would be a little calmer, but in fact the game scene was really dull.

But I didn't expect that this dullness would be broken by Gao Zheng so soon.

Gao Zheng made a very unusual forward shot, and inadvertently shot, and actually penetrated Juvestabia's goal for the second time!

"GM scored twice! This is his sixteenth league goal this season! Sampdoria in turn took the lead! This is the best news for Sampdoria!"

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng did not run wildly to celebrate excitedly, but stood there, open his arms and waited for his teammates to come up and hug him.

Head coach Yacini hugged his assistant Carillo off the court.

This goal made many people's hearts fall.

For other games, a goal lead is not safe.

But for Sampdoria now, it is safe to be able to lead with one goal.

Even if Juvestabia scored a goal in the next game, it would be a draw, which is not unacceptable to Sampdoria.

Moreover, judging from the level of the two teams, it is hard to say whether Sampdoria can equalize the score when she is neither anxious nor underestimated the enemy.

Icardi on the bench witnessed Gao Zheng’s two goals. Although he scored 32 goals in the reserve team, he knew very well that those 32 goals could not even be topped by one of the first team’s goals.

Everyone was in the reserve team last season and they scored more goals than Gao Zheng.

But now Gao Zheng is already a core player of the entire first team. Judging from his performance in the second division, Icardi has an illusion that this is no different from when he played in the reserve team.

At that time, everyone said that the reserve team and the first team were completely different worlds, and there was an almost insurmountable barrier between the two worlds. Not every player who played in the reserve team, even the main players could successfully advance to the first team, let alone play in the first team.

Whether in Sampdoria or Icardi had seen many highly-watched geniuses of La Macia when he was in La Macia, but he couldn't even play in the first team. He either accepted the arrangement of loan to exercise, or directly transferred to Barcelona, ​​which could not play in the game.

Even himself, who performed well in Sampdoria reserve last season, has not played for the first team this season.

So the difference between the reserve team and the first team is that every player knows it well.

Only in Gao Zheng, this difference seems to have no longer exists...

That's right, Gao Zheng has never played in the first team for fourteen rounds of the league, but that's not that he is not strong enough, but because of his conflict with the original head coach. If this relationship was aside, Gao Zheng's level might have long been the core of the team. Now his performance in the team is the best proof.

Seeing Gao Zheng turning the tide in this game, Icardi felt powerless for the first time, and felt that it was difficult for him to catch up with this person.

However, this frustration lasted for a very short time, and Icardi cheered up himself: "No! I have never played in the first team yet, how can I say I am inferior to him? You must not surrender voluntarily!"

Sampdoria is only one goal ahead now, although even if the score is equalized, she can still lock in the top six in advance. But wouldn’t it be better if she can use a victory to lock in the quota for the upgraded playoffs? To win this game, you need to score more goals. At least you can’t always lead with one goal, and you have to score another goal...

Thinking of this, Icardi turned his attention to head coach Yacini, who was looking forward to being able to come out of the bench in this game and score a goal to secure the victory for the team.

Complete his debut in this way should leave a deep impression on people, and at the same time give him the qualification to challenge Gao Zheng in the first team.

※※※

After Gao Zheng scored twice, neither side scored another goal until the end of the first half, and the score was still 2:1, Sampdoria led Yuvestabia.

In the other games, Varese had already led Ascoli 2-0 at home at the end of the first half, and it should be no problem to win this game.

Padua still leads Gubio 1-0, but if Padua can't win the game, it doesn't matter what the game between Sampdoria and Juvestabia will be.

During the halftime break, Yacini did not make any adjustments to the team's lineup, and Gao Zheng remained on the court.

Icardi wants to come on as a substitute, so he has to wait a little longer.

※※※

The two sides changed their positions in the second half, and Yuvestabia's counterattack was no longer as fierce as in the first half.

And Sampdoria seems to be quite satisfied with the lead with one goal.

The game is slow.

Sixty minutes later, Icardi was called from the bench to warm up, and he knew that his own opportunity was coming.

Gao Zheng's physical fitness seems unlikely to play the full game, and he is about to substitute Gao Zheng.

Icardi ran to the warm-up area. In fact, he wanted to finish warming up and be able to play the game soon. In that case, there would be more than thirty minutes left for himself, which would be enough for him to do something.

But just as Icardi was warming up, Gao Zheng pulled to the side and sent a cross for Pelle that was so comfortable that he couldn't be more comfortable. Pelle jumped up and pushed the ball into Juvestabia's goal in the air!

"Pelle! His seventh second-tier goal this season! His goal helped Sampdoria secure the victory! Although there are more than twenty minutes left in the game, Sampdoria, who leads two goals, looks almost invincible!"

Sampdoria's bench and coaching bench celebrated.

But Icardi, who was warming up, was a little depressed.

He should have scored this ball!

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng actually assisted Pelle...

He suddenly felt that his appearance had lost its significance.

He stared at Gao Zheng who was hugging Pelle and snorted in his heart: The relationship is so good!

※※※

Not long after Pelle scored, Sampdoria made a substitution adjustment for a chance to die.

Icardi is indeed going to be replaced.

But what he wanted to replace was not Gao Zheng, but...Pelle!

Commentator Valentino Cilio was surprised by the arrangement of Yacinidi.

When I saw Icardi return to the coach's seat from the warm-up area, he said confidently that Gao Zheng was going to be replaced.

As a result, when the fourth official raised the sign for substitution, he found that the person who was replaced was No. 99 Pelle, not No. 40 Gao Zheng...

"This... Icardi replaced it with Pelle Yacini. Yacini intends to let Gao stay on the court... Well, judging from the previous game, Gao seems to have not been exhausted. It is logical that he can continue to stay on the court, but if Gao is not physically strong in the future, wouldn't he still have to replace him? Why not replace Gao directly? Sampdoria is now leading his opponent with two goals. Does Yacini still think this score is not safe?"

The TV broadcast gave Icardi a close-up shot. Icardi in the camera looked at the stadium with a very serious expression.

"This is the first debut of the genius of Sampdoria reserve team in the first team that is worthy of memory... He once partnered with Gao Zai reserve team. Their forward combination of the two helped Sampdoria reserve team win the national championship of the reserve team last season. Perhaps Yacini is planning to replicate the forward combination of the reserve team?"

※※※

"You hope to use the tacit understanding between Gao and Icardi in the reserve team to continue to maintain the offensive threat to Yuvestabia... But I always feel that the relationship between them is not as good as the outside world..." Assistant coach Carillo said to Yacini next to him. "I heard that Icardi triggered a conflict in the locker room on the first day after being recruited to the first team, and the two sides almost started to fight. The fuse of this conflict was because Icardi's attitude towards Gao was not very good... Do you think this is something that good friends should have?"

"But what I heard was that the two of them were inseparable friends in the training camp at the beginning of the season." Yacini spread his hands. "And it is said that the reason why Icardi returned to the reserve team was because he got too close to Gao and was angry with Atzori."

"Maybe it was this incident that caused the relationship between the two to break down?" Assistant coach Carillo keenly grasped the key point and made logical speculations. "Icardi, who was demoted to the reserve team because of friendship, looked at his good friend Gao, who stayed in the first team and finally got through the journey. When he thought about who could only play in the reserve team, he is now in a glorious position, but he is still waiting for the first team's chance to play. He is extremely unbalanced inside, so his former friend turned against him..."

"Carillo..."

"What's wrong, Giuseppe?"
