On the training ground, Sampdoria reserve team is conducting full-game defensive exercises under the 11-man game system, with a total of 22 people participating and using the entire court to train.

The purpose of this training is to let players learn to defend the whole team under the conditions of regular games. The offensive party wears a red vest, and the defender wears a blue Sampdoria jersey without a training vest. Whether it is defense or offense, like a formal game, you will be called fouls and will also have offside. In addition to one thing - for the purpose of convenient teaching, the "game" can be stopped by the coach at any time, adjust and train.

Assistant coach Alfredo Casilio works as a referee on the court and is also responsible for specific training guidance. Head coach Bruno also has a whistle in his hand, and when he thinks he needs it, he will whistle to pause training.

Previously, the team would conduct separate defensive training for various situations, either limiting the area or limiting the number of participants.

Now it is directly placed on the entire court and staffing according to the official game, which means combining various previous individual trainings for training. Especially when training on the entire court, the requirements for defense are higher. After all, when the defense line is opened, the gap becomes more, and the difficulty of defense naturally increases.

Comprehensive defensive training throughout the game is to ensure that the team can form a tight defense line when defending, and not be like a sieve, and can be penetrated by someone as soon as they are hit.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Manager, you even need to pay attention to our ordinary training?" Head coach Bruni stood on the sidelines and said to the sports manager Doriano Tosy who had just arrived.

"Of course, there are two geniuses here!" Tosi said with a smile.

Icardi has scored five goals in the last six reserve matches, fully demonstrating his ability. Sampdoria Club is already discussing with Barcelona to buy out his business. No matter how good Icardi performs, Barcelona will not take him back. Neither in the first team nor in the B team. Sampdoria is equivalent to picking up a bargain, but if this bargain is not completely put into his pocket, there is still a possibility of a fucking fuck.

Although Gao Zheng has not played in the reserve team yet, his talent has also aroused the expectations of the club.

Since it was practicing defense, Brunoy specifically instructed the sparring offensive team before the training began, so that they could try their best to score goals.

Gao Zheng and Icardi are in this offensive lineup.

Although Icardi has proved his super scoring ability with five goals in six reserve games, on the court, the reserve defenders are still willing to spend more troops to defend Gao Zheng instead of Icardi.

So when Gao Zheng got the ball, Icardi was in a good position.

Gao Zheng passed the football without hesitation!

Icardi was a little surprised that Gao Zheng passed the ball to him, but he still caught Gao Zheng's pass and sent the ball into the goal.

"It feels so good in front of Icardi's door!" Tosi said happily.

"The defense is missing." Bruney said coldly.

"There is no way. Gao and Icardi will always make the defense lose sight of each other..." Tosy said with a smile.

Bruni glanced at him and he stopped talking.

Assistant coach Casilio stopped training and pointed out the problems in the defense just now. Too many people defended Gao Zheng, but instead ignored Icardi. He asked the defenders on the defense to pay special attention to not miss people in the next training and to keep the back line intact.

On the court, Icardi looked at Gao Zheng. Although he scored the goal, he frowned.

He was very dissatisfied because Gao Zheng's pass reminded him of the conversation he had with Gao Zheng on the motorcycle in the morning.

He thought Gao Zheng was "avoiding war".

Don't you want to compete with me?

What are you escaping?

Are you afraid of losing?

Icardi didn't go to Gao Zheng to ask him clearly. He had his own way. If Gao Zheng turned a blind eye to his competition, he would keep using better performances to make him unable to turn a blind eye, or to say he had nowhere to escape.

"Always Gao wants to run out and retreat... I remember he is a center?" Tosey suddenly asked after observing for a while.

"I found out too." Bruney nodded. "Maybe he doesn't want to fight with the defender in the penalty area. After all, he has suffered serious injuries and will definitely care about this..."

He suddenly stopped when he said this because Gao Zheng's performance gave him some inspiration.

Although Gao Zheng has not played in the reserve team's game yet, Bruno has been considering how Icardi and Gao Zheng coexist on the court.

How can two talented centers be together? One plus one is greater than two, rather than constraining each other?

After seeing Gao Zheng pulling out frequently and assisting Icardi with one goal, Bruno was inspired.

He still had a vague idea now. When his thinking matures, he plans to go and have a good chat with Gao Zheng.

Tosy didn't care about Bruno's sudden silence at all and continued to say there: "...I just feel a pity."

"What a pity?" Bruney came back from his momentary distraction.

Tosi said: "High shooting skills are very good. Although staying away from the goal can help him avoid some confrontation, it will also make him miss more opportunities to score, and inevitably reduce the number of goals. I feel sorry for this."

"Goal..."

※※※

The players in the defensive team performed very well, and they kept not conceding goals for a period of time.

It was not until Gao Zheng stood up that the deadlock on the court was broken. After he pulled out of the penalty area and received a pass from his teammate, he pretended to stuff the football in. After shook the defender away, he shot low directly on the spot.

The football rushed straight to the far corner of the goal against the turf. Goalkeeper Tozo was blocked by the dense crowd in the penalty area. In addition, he didn't expect Gao Zheng to shoot so decisively and suddenly. He rushed out and only touched the football slightly, but did not change the trajectory of the football. The ball still rushed into the goal.

"Beautiful!" Tosi on the sidelines exclaimed Gao Zheng's performance. After saying that, he looked at Bruno, "There is no problem with this ball defense, right? I think the defenders have performed well enough. They have stood on the spot..."

"The biggest problem is that only one person defends high." Bruney said in a deep voice.

"But before, Icardi got the chance because there were too many defenders going to defend high..."

"The number of players on the back line is limited, what about the midfielders?" After saying that, Bruney blew the whistle in his hand, interrupted the training, and then walked onto the court.

While walking, he pointed at the midfielder of the Blue Team and shouted: "What should the midfielder do when defending? Are you watching the show on the spot? Go up!"

He strode forward and grabbed Gao Zheng's jersey with one hand.

"Get it off! Are you so gentlemanly in defense in games? Then why are you so polite to Gao?!"

Gao Zheng also waved his hand to the others: "You don't have to be polite..."

Bruney glared at him, he was shameless and laughed at the head coach.

Bruni had no choice but to take him, just shouted: "Please cheer me up and treat training as a game. If you lose three goals in the half game, you can see what the consequences will be!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the field.

When he walked back to Tosie, the assistant coach Casilio on the field blew his whistle: "Continue training!"

"You just said that Gao may not be willing to fight with one hand, now you will find someone to fight with him, Luciano." Tosic said.
Chapter completed!
