Chapter 262 Hard Vegetables
Gao Zheng's father glanced at the table hanging on the wall, then picked up the remote control from the coffee table to change the channel, and changed it from CCTV, which was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala live, to a sports channel.
Just after changing, I saw Gao Zheng and his teammates standing in the player channel waiting to appear.
"Look, son!" said the husband pointed to the TV screen and said to his wife next to him.
The wife didn't say anything, just stared at the TV screen.
Gao Zheng on the screen had no abnormalities. He was talking and laughing with his teammates, and he seemed very relaxed and relaxed.
Seeing that his son seemed to have not been affected in any way, he became a mother and then relaxed.
No matter what, so many fans across the country are watching. Mom doesn't want her son to lose his links at critical moments.
"CCTV, CCTV. Fans and friends across the country, and viewers in front of the TV, at this moment of farewell to the old and welcoming the new and reunion of thousands of families, I only wish you a New Year on behalf of our colleagues on the Sports Channel. Thank you for watching our Serie A live broadcast at this time..."
When the camera cut back to the Beijing studio, Liu Hong also wore a red Tang suit in this game. On this special day today, it looked very festive and festive.
The studio also made targeted holiday arrangements, with the overall red as the main one.
On the big screen behind him, on the red background is Gao Zheng wearing a Sampdoria jersey.
"And in this day when everyone reunited with their families, our Chinese player Gao Zheng is still in Genoa, Italy. Today is the match day of Sampdoria's home match against Rome. It's a coincidence, and it's also our country's New Year's Eve. So it's a very meaningful thing to be able to use this game to accompany you on New Year's Eve... In this game, Gao Zheng appeared in the team's lineup without any suspense... The game is about to begin, so let's cut the camera back to the game scene now..."

Roma has not been optimistic recently. They could have remained in the top six in the league, but after Christmas, the team's performance took a sharp turn.
They have not won for five consecutive league rounds, with three losses and two draws. The last victory was before Christmas, and they beat AC Milan 4:2 at home on December 22 last year.
With the five rounds of defeat, their league rankings also fell from sixth to eighth, surpassed by Sampdoria and AC Milan.
"Roma really encountered a problem. Zeman was fired just because he led the team with a bad performance. This game will be led by his assistant coach Andrezoli. It is said that changing coaches is like changing swords. I wonder if Andrezoli can bring some positive changes to Roma, even if it is fresh..."
During the game, Caresa said.
At this moment, the score was 0:0. The whole first half was played and the score did not change.
After fifteen minutes of halftime break, neither side made a substitution and started the second half of the game.
Just eleven minutes after the second half, the deadlock on the court was finally broken.
After receiving an assist from Kostic, Icardi headed the ball to Sampdoria's first record.
The Malasi Stadium was full of joy, but Liu Hong was not very interested.
Because the person who scored the goal was not Gao Zheng.
On this special day for the people of the whole country, he certainly hopes that Gao Zheng can score a goal, which is the best Spring Festival gift for fans across the country...
The Chinese students watching the game in the decorated restaurant sighed regret when they saw that it was Icardi's goal.
"This is Icardi's ninth league goal this season, and he is amazingly efficient!"
Gao Zheng and other teammates went to celebrate the goal with Icardi. Seeing this scene, the Chinese students still felt a little regretful.
※※※
Almost twenty minutes later, the 73rd minute of the game, but when Gao Zheng took the ball at the front of the Rome penalty area, both the commentator Liu Hong in Beijing and the Chinese students in the Genoa restaurant were excited.
"This is Gao Zheng's opportunity!" Liu Hong shouted.
Gao Zheng's parents in front of the TV couldn't help but clenched their fists.
But Roma's defense responded very quickly and immediately leaned forward. Three people surrounded him and did not give him a chance to break forward or shoot.
At the same time, theirs also put on the stick to steal, using their bodies to constantly squeeze Gao Zheng, forcing him to give up possession of the ball.
In order to grab Gao Zheng's ball, the fourth Roma player also rushed up.
Just as he was robbing, a gap appeared in the area where he was originally located.
Gao Zheng suddenly passed the football into the space, and then Kostici shot with his foot in!
Although Roma goalkeeper Malten Stekrenberg made a save, his attention was all on Gao Zheng before. He was not prepared for this sudden shot from Kostic, and the football flew into Roma's goal again!
"2:0! Sampdoria leads Roma 2:0 at home!"
Caresa shouted loudly, but the Chinese students in front of the TV held their heads with their hands: "Ah! Why do you have to pass the ball? You can shoot by yourself!"
"Get in, Gao Zheng! Today is the New Year!"
"That's right, the most important hard dish at the New Year's Eve dinner cannot be missed!"
Xiao Yingying glanced at Feng Shiyao and found that when everyone was anxious and felt sorry for Gao Zheng, Sister Feng looked without any emotional fluctuations, and her expression on her face did not change for a moment.
It's really stable...
※※※
"Gao Zheng... passed the ball! Kostici... the ball has entered! Gao Zheng completed an assist... Although there is no problem with the assist. But I believe that most Chinese fans may still hope to see Gao Zheng score a goal by themselves..."
Listening to Liu Hong's words, Gao Zheng's father didn't say anything, but he agreed with the commentator's statement, and he also wanted to see his son score a goal.
He felt that only by scoring the goal could he not cause trouble to fans across the country during the Chinese New Year.
After all, everyone gave up the Spring Festival Gala at this time and chose to watch Sampdoria's game live broadcast, not to watch Sampdoria win, but to see his son score a goal.
So not scoring a goal, of course, it has caused trouble for fans across the country.
But he didn't say anything, and he was worried that his thoughts would put pressure on the child.
Even if he actually said in front of the TV, his son couldn't hear it.
But he had this kind of worry and superstition.
※※※
While celebrating the goal with Gao Zheng, Kostic said to him: "You can actually shoot..."
Gao Zheng shook his head: "But I'm not sure I'll definitely score a goal."
"You haven't scored a goal yet..."
"There will be a chance." Gao Zheng in turn comforted Kostici.
Although Roma has conceded two goals in this game, his defense against Gao Zheng has been very strict, so Gao Zheng has not received any decent opportunities since the beginning of the game.
Just now, Gao Zheng was a good opportunity to get the ball in front of the goal.
Kosticic had no choice but to say to Gao Zheng: "I will pass the ball to you, as long as you run to the air..." He knew what day it was today. On this day, he thought that Gao Zheng should score a goal to be perfect. Otherwise, the team alone won the game.
"Okay, thank you." Gao Zheng did not refuse the kindness from his teammates.
As a striker, of course, he really needs the support of his teammates.
※※※
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting for when Gao Zheng scored, Rome scored a goal two minutes after Kostic scored.
The goal for Roma is Eric Lamela, the current top scorer in their team.
This is his eleventh league goal this season.
As soon as he scored the ball, the atmosphere at the Marasi Stadium suddenly became a little nervous. Roma went from falling behind two goals to one goal behind. They were not far from equalizing the score.
When everyone was wondering when Gao Zheng scored a goal, if Roma equalized the score and did not even win the game in the end, wouldn’t it be a loss to his wife and a loss to his soldiers?
Roma, who scored a goal, was also energetic. They were originally behind two goals in the 73rd minute, but they both wanted to give up.
As a result, Lamela scored a goal, helping Roma narrow the gap to one goal.
Just think about it with one ball...
At least this game can take away one point.
So when the game started again, Roma tried to launch a fierce attack on Sampdoria's goal.
However, they still need to be a little patient. After all, the team lost the ball and kicked off. The football is still under the control of Sampdoria's players.
They just need to wait patiently until Sampdoria's attack is over and the ball returns to their feet and launch a fierce offensive against Sampdoria. They will let Sampdoria, who is a little overly relaxed, see the determination of the "Red Wolf"!
At this moment, Sampdoria made a long pass from the backcourt and looked for Icardi in the front.
Icardi jumped up and competed for the top spot with Roma's central defender Leandro Castan.
He was 1.81 meters tall and lost to Castan in the air battle.
Kastan pressed Icardi and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
The air defense alarm over the Rome penalty area was in contact.
But in the next second, everyone saw the football that was pushed out by Castan flew towards Gao Zheng!
Gao Zheng stood at the landing point of the football, supported his body with his left foot, took a step back with his right foot, and twisted his waist and hips. When the football flew over, another Roman defender, Marginhos, jumped over and turned his body, intending to use his back to block Gao Zheng's shot.
But this is useless.
Gao Zheng, who was tilting his head, kept staring at the football, as if he hadn't seen Marginhos rushing up at all.
When the football fell to the right height, he twisted his waist and hips again, releasing all the energy he had been twisting before, and driving his right leg to hit the football like a whip!
With a bang, a muffled sound rang out in Marginhos's ears, and the football whizzed past him.
Go straight to the top corner of the goal.
Roma goalkeeper Strekrenberg took off into the air and stretched his arms out, but failed to touch the football.
The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar, bounced back and hit the ground, then bounced up and pushed the net up.
The ball has entered!
The most important hard dish at the New Year’s Eve dinner was finally served on the dining table of Chinese fans.

ps, a sentence at the end of yesterday's chapter made everyone think I have a lot of manuscripts. To be honest, there are only four chapters of manuscripts left.
That sentence is actually Han Qiaosheng's joke. Many people don't know it now?
Chapter completed!
